[Q] Unflashing back to Sprint from MetroPCS

I just bought a CDMA Hero that I thought was on Sprint's network from Craiglist, the guy i bought it from actually had it flashed to work on MetroPCS and never told me. I have no idea how to change it back to get it working on Sprint's network so that I can activate. Any help would be appreciate

i hate to tell u this but if the esn has been on another carrier sprint will not reactivate it.

More info please?

Can you explain as to why and how this works? All i know is that I flashed the RUU rom from the htc website and I thought that this would change it back to sprint coverage but when it was done all it changed was that it was no longer rooted and still on metroPCS. To change it back to Sprint coverage would you flash a sprint PRL file or something? I just need some help as to how this works.
Thanks for the pending reply

Just to clarify, what do you mean by you "unlocked" it. How did you do this? I'm pretty sure the only way to unlock our Ones is by going through sprint. Also if you do use it on ATT you won't get LTE because they have different LTE bands than sprint.

i unlocked it through a sprint all in one kit, maybe this was just for rooting it, but anyway I was justtrying to figure out if there was a wat to get my htc one on att, I'm not worried about the lte.

Ok, if you used the All In One toolkit then yes you are just rooted. To get your phone unlocked you will have to directly contact sprint!

Note also that in the US, depending on the location, AT&T operates on some combination of two 3G bands and two 4G bands. Of these four hi-speed data bands, the Sprint HTC One variant only supports one band. Therefore, even if you get the phone unlocked and working on AT&T, its data performance may not be all that great.

[Q] Was my phone flashed to sprint?

Hi, I have an HTC One that I bought on craigslist. The phone can make calls and text fine but no data at all. I've done all the resets and programming with Sprint but I have no data. The 3g icon does appear but thats it. Finally the rep said I'm either rooted or flashed, since I know I'm not rooted I figure maybe I'm flashed. How can I tell? I have several codes from them from working withthem today so any of the menus are accessable to me.
Thank you
Edit: Went to sprint and they put a SIM in temporarily to see if that helped my issue. One has to be sent from SPrint Care. Anyway, without the SIM you'll get all kinds of issues so dont buy or sell without it.
ONce the sim was in the boot animation even had a sprint animation before the One animation, was not like that when I brought it in. Also, under data, all the options reappeared. They did not load any software for me. Simply reset the phone again and placed a provisioned SIM in for me. 3g was still down so I have a faulty phone but its interesting what differences that SIM made.

one way to check is to enter the bootloader
Turn off the phone
Hold down the power button and the volume down button until the screen turns on
at the top you should see the status of the bootloader. if someone flashed it with a custom rom it will say unlocked and tampered.

Would this means that my phone was/is a sprint phone from the start and that there is another issue? Settings also shows the model as a PN072.

That is locked bootloader and S-On. Looks like that phone is stock. If you have the MSL I would try ##DATA# on the dialer and go edit mode, profile, menu and reset profile. That will go through handsfree and set it up correctly. If you don't have the MSL call/chat with Sprint and get them to walk you through doing a profile reset/handsfree activation.

Thanks for the help. I've been through all those steps already. My next step is to have them replace it. I just wanted to be sure this phone wasnt from another carrier and was flashed to the sprint network. But like you said its stock so I think I'm all set. Makes sense that if this came from another carrier they would have to unlock it first which wouldnt give that bootloader status.

You can't really tell if a phones been unlocked before since with revone u can lock the bootloader like u never unlocked it in the offer place. Can't u also edit the hboot to mask it?

I think I remember when I had the Evo LTE that you could do that. I guess as long as the sprint rep can believe its a phone issue and use my insurance I'll be fine. The sprint rep from phone tech support said they could tell if it was flashed from another carrier but wouldnt say how so I came here. Tomorrow I'll take it into a store to swap it.

You will not need insurance (unless you damaged it physically). If the rep does not see it was tampered with they will warranty one out to you free of charge. I have bought a few phones off craigslist and had no issues with this. You need to go to a full service Sprint Store. The one by me does repairs/warranty exchanges in house.

I just noticed that my lockscreen and notification shade say HTC instead of Sprint. Just struck me as unusual. Is this the same for everyone else?

Mine says Sprint. If I were you I would just flash your phone completely back to stock unless you have a friend at the Sprint store. Then see if your issues are resolved.

Thats the whole confusion for me. Whether or not this phone is a sprint phone or from another carrier flashed over to sprint since I cant get data. The hboot and model number in settings seem to indicate a sprint phone. Very strange to me. Theres no SU on this or any indication of any tweaks which would defeat the purpose of this being some custom ROM and the HBOOT is locked. Seems stock already. Just weird. I'm pretty confused.
I'm taking it to sprint to try and swap it. If not I will check other methods to get it workign. S-off or dev unlock and put another ROM on it.

Are you roaming? I can see if you were roaming it not saying sprint. Just a thought. Other than that maybe someone else can chime in. From what your bootloader says you are not flashed or modded.

Interesting. I just went to check roaming under the mobile network settings and I only have the following.
4G settings

access point names
available GSM networks

The only thing not stock is that I'm missing the SIM card. Maybe in some way thats playing a part but sprint said you only need it for international.

Sprint HTC One to Straight Talk

Ok, before I get "noobed" or told to read, I've read so many threads my head is starting to hurt.
I have an HTC One that I bought from someone on craigslist. I bought a "bring your own phone" kit for Straight Talk that says it's for "4G LTE and HSPA+".
I have rooted the phone, have S-Off, it says it's Unlocked on the bootloader screen, running hboot 1.56, radio 1.00.20.1108.
When I put in the sim card I don't get any message about simlock
Is this going to be able to work or am I beating a dead horse trying to get this thing working? I'll flash whatever or do whatever I need to do.
If it isn't going to work, I'll just throw it on ebay I guess

glad youve read up already... ive read a bit myself. heres what i have for you
http://forums.team-nocturnal.com/in...-super-cid-for-the-htc-one-m7-ul-models-only/
this explains a bit of removing the cid lock on your phone. read the article if you havnt already. it explains all you need for all carriers. ive done a few straight talk change overs before...you def are going to need a rom that has epst built in or find an .apk for the one. you will have to use this to configure the phone to flash. but you must have the cid unlocked first. i hope this helps.

thanks but I'm not sure what that is supposed to do...does it change my phone from being sprint to a different carrier so it's easier to use the sim for straight talk?

there are two diff locks that a carrier may administer to keep a device on there network. one is the sim lock, the other is the cid. in your case,since youve already sim unlocked (if you havnt you need to.) you would need to do the cid unlock to be able to use your phone on straight talk network. whoch was step by step in the link i posted. wrapping this all up, cid unlock allows you to switch from the sprint network to straight talk. without it it wont work. so after you cid unlock...youll be programming your phone onto straight talks network, which us explained in their kit or you can call their cs #
also, calling their cs # is adviseable due to this....all the phones ive flashed over were from spriint. they do not have sim cards. never needed to put a straight talk sim in. only had to program the phone through epst,,,which is what allows you to input ## command codes through yiur dialer. all i think you should have to do is cid unlock and program onto straight talks network through epst.

Ok so I used the Super CID and it changed it to all 1's, now what? Do you have any ideas what the next step should be to getting this working on straight talk? I'm sorry for being "noobish" but I'm just at my wits end and am giving up hope on this working.

guess there's nothing left to do but sell it on craigslist or ebay....because I'm guess the Sprint HTC One on Straight Talk just doesn't work or at least doesn't work with the sim cards available in my area.
I have tried everything and no dice

im having the same problem i have the stock rom with goodies hboot 1.55 CID11111111 s off and radio 1.00.20.0315
wanna use in straight talk ATT sim

anymore news on this?
Can someone please confirm that they actually have a SPRINT HTC ONE on STRAIGHT TALK?
i've been reading and reading and cant find a dfinitive answer or guide on how to actually get the SPRINT HTC ONE on straighttalk, all i've read so far are people who say "it cant be done" and other people saying "it can be done"

There is no definitive answer I have done unlock and changed radio and os as well as hboot and still nothing I just don't think it can be done for straight talk

ST has a CDMA option. You cant use this with CDMA but the GSM bands don't match up that well so you'll be left with spotty or no service. Not sure if you'll get LTE but 3G shouldn't be problem

has anyone fig out how to uses straight talk on this phone yet

[Q] USe Sprint HTC One (M7) On Verizon Network?

I haven't been up to date on flashing and switching carriers in a few years, I used to do it all the time.
My girlfriend broke here phone (Verizon Contract) and needed a new phone, we got a good deal on a HTC One (m7) Model No: HTC PN072. And purchased it.
I thought it was still be the same old flash the radios call Verizon and keep asking for new people until I get someone who can offer to activate. Now I am looking for an unlock tool and all I can find is GSM SIM unlockers, and can't find the right Verizon Radios for this phone.
My girlfriend is pissed because now she doesn't have a phone and we just spent money on this new phone. Am I SOL? Or is there a thread somewhere that my googfu just can't find?

i tried to do this for a phone for mom. it doesnt matter what you do with the phone- verizon has white lists now. if they dont have the ESN in their system, they WILL NOT activate it. you have a sprint ESN, so you will never activate that on verizon no matter how many times you call them.
sucks, i know. I had to buy a verizon m7.

It can be done using a donor phone the same way you would fllash a phone to metropcs. you can find plenty of tutorials online just replace everything metro with sprint.

Any luck on this? I have a Sprint HTC One M8 that I wish to bring over to Verizon. I'm not new to changing ESNs and I understand the legal ramifications of using a service that is unpaid for, so that aside, I'm paying for the service. I had bought the phone intending to switch to Ting, but the IMEI is locked to Sprint for one year from release. I have until April when that gets unlocked, so I figured to use it without the SIM card, since that's what allows 4G LTE usage on CDMA phones, at least from what I am told by people and the phone (once I removed the SIM card it started giving me that message). Hell I'm ok disabling data altogether, but as long as I can make calls and text, I'm jolly.

You could flash them to pageplus although I think they only have 3g.

Pageplus has 4G albeit at a reduced speed but effective 1/15/2015 they will not accept flashed phones anymore

This is illegal and not appropriate conversation on XDA. It's out there though, although I've only seen people flashing phones from Verizon to Page Plus or Sprint to Virgin or Boost. Never seen Sprint to Verizon or vice versa.

I was under the impression that Sprint and Verizon use different signal frequencies, and that the radios installed by HTC during build were specific to the frequency. Yes, they are both CDMA, but different frequencies.
