Its a CDMA device you are free to use any compatible CDMA sim cards in it. You can't use gsm or 3g sim cards as this device does not have this technology. Is it CDMA network locked? Do you mean that it is carrier branded and can only run that service provider's sim from which you bought... if that is your case Google is your friend....

You can check the bands and frequencies for SPRINT here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_(m8)_cdma-6233.php
For the sim unlock it is up to "firewater" compatibility, since you need to S-OFF your device first.
Regarding compatibility with firewater, your question should be: How can I make sure that my device will be supported by firewater?
The answer: You cant! Its just a matter of luck for the moment.
There are alot of people who successfully S-OFF their devices with firewater, and there are also unlucky persons like me, who cant (i got 2 devices that i cannot S-OFF).
There is also a bounty thread for people which cannot S-OFF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733870
If SIM unlocking is your concern, I suggest you to buy it unlocked (yeah i know the price is higher).
For the time being there is no provider offering SIM Unlock for Sprint. Believe me, since I have a SPRINT standard M8 device which i cant SIM unlock for the moment.

Thank you for the information..I'm an htc lover...i can buy it factory unlocked in about the same price...but i want that version...i really liked the color combination and what h/k addition offers...i know that i can port the h/k software to another m8 but i like the whole package...it's unique....i live in Greece....bought my friend some months ago an already sim unlocked sprint htc one m7 and it's working fine..So to sum up..if i got it...it's not 100% that i would be able to sim unlock it..... Also i saw on the gsmarena on the lte frequencies sprint version support LTE 800 / 1900 / 2600 my carrier lte frequencies are 1800 MHz, 2600 MHz...... so i should be able to have lte at 2600MHz?

Im not quite sure if the LTE will work flawlessly since usually the antenna is optimized for the specific carrier. Sorry i am not sure about it...

Try the following on you responsibility

- Install QSPT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2263391)
- enable diag mode ##3424#
- open QPST configuration, from port tab add your device diagnostics port.
- from start clients tab choose service programming then ok & click on read from phone.
- on system tab choose automatic for roam preferences.
- on UMTS System tab choose any for pref service domain & any band (last bottom right) for proffered band.
- click write to phone, then your device should work on GSM mode with modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk.

How about reboot phone don't touch anything in mobile network options and go directly to phone info with the 4 digit code *#*#4636#*#* go phone information and change the preferred network type just don't touch anything in the mobile network settings and see if that works.
I had done this on Verizon GPE ROM and got data working by only switching in phone information once I toggled in actual mobile settings I was screwed maybe that will work for you

You should select what ever network type you need in order for your data to work. But if you touch any of the settings in mobile network it just stops working completely. Well at least that's what happened to me but you could also try manipulating the band's that are supported in your location

please help me.

AT&T SIM only works in port 2 (2G network)

Hi,
I got a new Huawei Mate s phone sent to me from China (I am in USA)
apparently, when I insert the new SIM into port 1 (for 3G & 4G access) I get an error that only a "China Telecom" sim can work in that port. So I use port 2 and I only get 2G network (bad coverage & loses signal a lot)
I tried switching ports, no luck ...
Any suggestions? (I am a newbe to this, but am a little capable)
Can this phone be unlocked?
phone specs:
Model Number: HUAWEI CRR-CL00
Build Number: CRR-CL00C92B161
thank you all in advanced

Both might be Chinese models, but the CRR-CL00 might be a locked "China Telecom" version. I have no problems using 3G or 4G on either sim on my CRR-UL00 anyway. So it is locked by software, it could solve it switching to CRR-UL00 firmware.

Thank you EMF. I currently have CRR-UL00 firmware (just a different version)
I agree it looks like a firmware issue, just not sure what firmware I should switch to.
Is there a "US" firmware for this model phone I can switch to?
Also, being a newbie I will need step-by-step instructions so I don't mess it up.

Your phone is sim-locked for China Telecom carrier. Changing rom won't help, you need to sim-unlock it on a specific site that does that, like this one https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-huawei-mate-s-092123
It won't be free. But after you get and enter sim-unlock code there'll be no problem with using any sim card in any slot.
