Im from Ecuador and my friend when he visit me give me the gift HTC ONE. This phone was locked by O2 UK.
This phone can't have 3G or UMTS , is only EDGE because here is 850mhz
After I unlocked this phone and now is S-OFF. I changed RUU , Radio, Clockword , Recovery, everything, but still nothing
Does anybody have idea does European phones hardware support WCDMA 850 mgz or that is only software driver case ?

I bought my HTC Diamond on UK. I updated the ROM to the RUU_Diamond_HTC_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1 this was supposed to make my phone QuadBand. It does work in USA (Boston) where I live. But I have never seen my phone doing 3G and speed test top was around the 1xx kbps.
Any Ideas?
PS. I am on the ATT network
Are you sure you have 3G coverage in Boston? Do you have a USIM-card (which I was told to be required for UMTS stuff)?
3G speed
I did look at the ATT coverage map and it said that I do have coverage.
How do I know what type of SIM I have? The SIM does have the 3G logo on it.
Are you sure your phone has the bands?
Check the Band setting, Settings->Phone->Band,
in the dropdown box for "Select your GSM/UMTS band", my US 3G ATT phone shows the following options:
Auto
UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900)
(oddly enough, the settings have to be on Auto for the phone to work..)
When I bought my diamond, I was curious about my sim too, so I took it into the ATT store and asked if it was the "latest 3G sim" and he said yes. Mine is half white (top) & half Blue (bottom), with a orange 3G fireball in the topright corner.
If yours matches all that, then take it to the ATT store and see if you get 3G in the store
Also..if you have doubts, I've had multiple Sales reps in the store tell me I can get a new Sim for free at any time, just need to ask.
3G
I do have that SIM half blue half white with the 3G fireball logo.
On my select network I have
Auto
GSM
WCDMA
on the GSM/UMTS band I have
Auto
UMTS(900+2100)+GSM(900+1800)
UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900)
UMTS(800+2100)
UMTS(850+2100)+GSM(900+1800)
UMTS(850)+GSM(900+1800)
UMTS(1700)

What ROM do you have?
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2
Does this ROM supports USA 3G????
Sorry for my English
You have the European version and have only HSDPA 2100 / 900 (3G) and probably ATT works in HSDPA 850 / 1900, if this is the problem, sorry 3G is impossible for you, because is a hard problem, not a soft problem, search in this web there are many post about this. The European is quad band in GSM but not in HSDPA (3G)
CArlos
How about if I use another ROM
If I use another ROM ? would I be able to do 3G?
No I think it's impossible since it's different hardware I believe.
I think the one you have from UK, it only contained HSPA 2100 and US /Canada is using HSPA 850/1900, that's why you don't have the 3G signal.
Quad band only for voice and EDGE.

Hello everyone,
I bought a G1 from Rogers in canada, but now I live in germany.
I don't know how it actually works, but I have been unable to get 3G connections here (only GPRS and normal cell phone), using the O2 company. After doing some research I realized that the radio frequencies are different (according to http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=GERMANY, then go to canada to check it out).
Are there any possibilities to change the radio frequencies of UMTS? My phone is rooted.
Thanks a lot!
Dial:
*#*#4636#*#*
Then goto phone info
Scrool down list
Change preffered network to WCDMA only for 3G only
Exit
Edit: O2 doesnt use the same 3G freq as Rogers, so you must stay with EDGE.
if memory serves correctly - o2 and tmobile work on the same frequencies in germany
if this is the case there is nothing you can do as the radio frequency is a hardware thing
Thanks for the reply!
I did that, but after a while it changes back to 'WCDMA preferred'.
I went to the O2 store, and the guy tested the chip with a Palm Pre, and it worked fine.. but with my G1 it didn't, only GPRS.
rogers use different frequencies to most other providers worldwide
rogers, atnt and some south african one use one set for 3G but everyone else uses another
you WILL NOT get 3G on the rogers dream on frequencies not used by rogers
also

All I know is that it allows you to force a specific phone freq, im not sure if all HTC phones have test mode which that number brings up. It doesnt allow you to change the freq only force one type. So a quad-band phone can be forced to use 2G only instead of 3G.It doesnt give access to unsupported bands cause thats a hardware thing.
I am discussing this very subject here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15461093&posted=1#post15461093 would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
I have an HD7 from T-Mobile supplied to me by my company for testing. I reside in Canada and would like to use this phone with my Bell Mobility account so I have successfully unlocked the HD7 based on the instructions provided to me from T-Mobile. I worked with Bell on getting the phone on the network and no matter what the technician did the phone always showed "No Service".
According to the Bell Website it says:
"Your device must be compatible - it must be HSPA (or UMTS) and 850 MHz and 1900 MHz compatible."
The T-Mobile specs shows the following:
"850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)"
The odd thing I find is that Bell Mobility released the HTC HD7 as one of their products a couple of weeks ago. So why wouldn't this phone just work on their network? Currently using it with my T-Mobile SIM it roams on the Rogers network so I assume that clearly states that the phone whould work with a Rogers SIM card, useless for me.
Is there anyway to get this phone to work with the Bell network? Would a custom ROM help in this situation?
Thanks!
Huh. I would not expect "no service" I would expect that you get 2G service but definitely not 3G.
I have used my unlocked TMOUS HD7 abroad and got 2G service in places w/o 2100 UMTS (similar to your situation Canada).

you could try the above site to unlock your phone
they worked for me was on O2 uk and got unlock code within less then 10 mins..
It wont work, as bell doesnt have a 2G GSM network bell uses it old CDMA network for 2G service and EVDO Rev A, for 3G along side its newly released HSPA+ network which runs on the 850Mhz band. As such a Tmobile US HD7 wont work with Bell, it will work on Rogers on its 2G GSM network. For you to use any new devices on Bell's HSPA network they would have to be from the following Carriers Telstra(Australia), ATT(USA), Rogers(CAN), Telus(CAN). Note for Telus they will have to be newer HSPA+ devices.
However as a side note you can run your TMobile HD7 on the new carriers, such as Videotron, WIND Mobile, Moblicity. All three carries use advance wireless service (AWS) frequencies.

Hello I just received a brand new S4 active (GT-I9295) after my old one had some watter resistant issues
In the old one I had flashed the 4.4.2 from netherlands (I'm in Portugal) without any issues. So 3G (HSPA+) and 4G working perfectly in Portugal at optimus (P OPTIMUS uses the GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 2100 frequency bands for its network.) Then it took a swim and I've ended with a new phone.
Now this one came with 4.2.2 TPH version. The guys at samsung had to change it's imei, and when it came to me not even boot recovery was working (error no command). Now I've flashed once again the 4.4.2 from Netherlands and Germany I9295XXUCNE5 base band with Kernel 3.4.0-1429916 and compilation KOT49H.I9295XXUCNE5.
The problem is. With this new phone and with the same simcard I've previously used and its working in 3g and 4g in other phones I'm stuck at EDGE with (LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto option) and if I select WCDMA only I get no network at all.
Also besides this there are a few wi-fi networks where I'm no longer able to connect (getting ip address forever) but the pressing issue is really 3g /4g connectivity.
Will I have to wait to a TPH (portuguese) rom? With the other phone all of this was pretty straight forward. The reason why I need 4.4.2 in this phone is my gear. But I don't want to give up 3g/4g and since this was working with the same settings there should be some workaround.
Thank you for your help
