Hello all,
As always, apologies in advanced if the solution ends up being simple, or that I've obviously overlooked something.
I have a Sprint HTC One. I live in Europe so I have rooted my device and also performed a SIM Unlock.
I was successful and the phone recognized my 3 Network SIM and works fine.
I have tried several different ROMs recently (Cyanogenmod, Carbon, Viper and Paranoid Android) and in each of them I cannot get the phone to switch networks away from SPRINT.
I switch the Network mode to GSM/WCDMA and double check in the phone info menu (*#*#4636#*#*). Reboot, and still no luck.
Oddly, I sometimes receive messages to my phone, but I cannot send any and there are no APN settings whatsoever.
It is necessary to be on stock to perform the SIM Unlock, so does that mean it will not work when I flash new roms?
Is there a setting in Paranoid Android (for example) that I am overlooking?
Thanks.
Can't...No supported

Thanks for the reply.
Are there custom ROMs for m7spr that could support GSM? Or is it completely non existent?
I have tried stock for several months and would rather not go back.

One of the threads mentioned that you need to be on 1.29 to use sim unlock.
It works for me in Bangalore, India so should definitely work for you as well...you might have to downgrade...
I'm on Viper 1.1.0.

By 1.29 are you referring to the Stock version?
I have successfully SIM unlocked, but all the ROMs tried simply do not pick up a signal.
I will try Viper 1.1.0, perhaps I used a known incompatible version beforehand.
Thanks for your reply.

I am still having trouble connecting.
Can I ask what you did when setting up, did the ROM automatically connect you to your network?

Do you get the message "Switch to global mode" when you rebooted your phone? You have to select Yes to that for the network to be detected.

No I don't, but I can switch to that mode under mobile settings and it still does not pick up a signal!

I was able to use the ViperBoy ROM to stay on GSM with the advent of 4.3 official release I am wondering if the newer ROMS based the Sprint release will cater to GSM w/data cause its quite a bother not benefiting from the other perks
I'm using the "Stock with Goodies" ROM successfully on Vodafone in Spain. The OP is mentioning all AOSP rom's that don't work with a SIM card. Any sense based ROM will work(such as Viper). The only AOSP type ROM that I managed to pick up any signal on was the GE Nocturnal ROM after flashing this zip, https://mega.co.nz/#!dgdmFQbb!ZXw8Q18FwMU0Xn_t3_Prp2dcd9Fn01pdR5s3Ha-_TaI . This GSM patch was very alpha, it had numerous telephony.db force closes and disconnects frequently. The DEV for GEnocturnal said he would try to make the next 4.3 based GE rom internationally compatible so that's our best hope for using stock Android as of yet.
There's a guy using the CM 10.2 rom I built in the android dev forum. I don't know how it's working but it's working for him. He has voice and h+ Data just the signal bars don't show the correct signal.

Hi I have as listed above a samsung galaxy s3 lte i9305 does anyone no where I can download a jellybean 4.2.2 rom all the ones I have tried dont work on the ee network
There's NO JB 4.2.2 for i9305!

HI. I am in the UK, on EE, have an i9305 (Galaxy 3 LTE) and have tried a few different ROMS and have had absolutely no problems on 4.2.2.
I tried the Supreme ROM 4.1.2, but upgraded to the LiquidSmooth ROM 4.2.2, v2.2 (STABLE) and have had absolutely no issues. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone.
Why do you go in and select the Carrier? Whenever I have flashed a ROM, it has automatically selected EE as the carrier. Is your phone unlocked?
Don't know what's wrong with your situation. Are you wiping properly before installing each ROM? Are you installing Gapps with each ROM?

If you're getting the T-Mobile network, you don't need to unlock your phone. You can try out various websites like HTC-Codes for a paid code to unlock your phone. There is also a free option, but it's a bit involved and relies on your phone being on 4.1.2 firmware. URLs are -

Never had that problem tbh, but make sure data connection is enabled in data usage settings.
Failing that make sure you have the right apns installed in mobile network settings (I'm on orange and have orangeinternet and orangemms). If in doubt, ring them and ask you to send your Internet settings to your phone for you.

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?

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

In my case it also shows G but i get the speed of hspap as here I have no 4g. G means gsm here. Either u get 4g/lte or G/gsm. I have checked it in about phone > network> cellular type. However my internet connection is pretty stable in my stock marshmallow rom and i am not rooted.

One more thing. As you said you are using it in Indonesia so u should check if the 3g bands of your carrier matches that of your phone. Most of the 3g bands of sprint m8 which is made for using in USA doesnt match carriers in Asia

If your friend is not having any issue and you are having one then i think you should take it to the shop from where you bought it. And as far as i know the sprint varient always have a network issue. I have seen many others posting the same thing. Btw you said u have s on and locked bootloader. So how did u get it to use other carriers than that of sprint? In my case i have super cid and s off and there is a long method to unlock the carrier. And i dont have any network issues. How did u manage to use other sim cards?

If your friend is not having any issue and you are having one then i think you should take it to the shop from where you bought it.

The problem is just the internet connection, phone call n sms is just fine...

Then i guess ur neighbour messed up something while unlocking. Coz the ways i know to unlock requires either $25 by sunshine or free by firewater but for firewater method u need to be rooted i guess. And also the firewater method is not reliable. In any case the bootloader should have been unlocked. Did u ask ur neighbour about this problem?

Hi everyone,
My carrier band is supported on the Mix namely B3 and B7. However, it is not possible to get 4G signal at all on the phone, only 3G.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Settings/SIM card/preferred network
Or maybe you need to setup APN manually.

Thanks for the suggestions but I have tried that to no avail. I install the LTE discovery app and there is no LTE signal at all.
I also tried flashing the modem file from China dev rom but it is also the same.

So your old phone worked ok? Can you try a different carrier SIM card to check.
What carrier are you on and what are your APN settings?

I'm in Singapore and my carrier is Starhub. The apn settings are auto created and I double checked against other phone it is the same settings.
There is an issue with the latest update that causes the device not to connect to LTE. According to the official forum, it should be fixed in the next update, which is about a week away.
Edit: Some have suggested reflashing your ROM and doing a factory reset as well. Most of what I have seen points to the developer ROM. If you are using the developer ROM, then flashing back to the Chinese Stable and factory resetting the device should solve it. If you are using a vendor ROM, the same is recommended.
Just an update to anyone facing the same issue. This is a bug on the development rom and hence it affects all eu / custom rom that derive from there. Once flash onto the latest stable will resolve this issue.
Hey guys,
I bought an used Mi Mix and can't get LTE te work, band 7 (2600) which is used by my provider and should be supported on the Mix. When i'm in the center of Amsterdam, where i always had LTE with my Redmi note 3, it stays on H+, never ever does it switch to LTE, even if i force it to (xposed module). I changed the tcp/ip to ipv4 in APN settings (and switched between ipv4/ipv6 etc between roaming and normal), notinh helps..
I've read that it is possible to "upgrade" the modem/baseband but I can't find where i read that and/or if it helps. Do you guys have any idea?
I'm at Epic Rom 7.11.2 with twrp and xposed.
Thanks in advance,
Don

Hey. All I learnt about my mix; it doesnt receive the LTE connection when other devices even POS ones get in the same area which sucks.. Welcome to the club.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
I am having the same problem too, it's on MIUI Gobal 9.1 Stable (NAHMIEI), please let me know what I could do to resolve my issue.
thanks
I fixed it.. I just completely wiped my phone, flashed the official global developer ROM. This fixed the LTE issue. I unlocked bootloader again and reflashed twrp and xiaomi.eu ROM and it's still working.

Need a new SIM mate, this my answer to everything. Can say it's probably ROM related or cernol
It's modem/baseband driver problem. A while back there were some issues with those. Updating or installing EU Tom doesn't update the modem drivers, an official fastboot flashed ROM does..
Some modem drivers (Indian phones I thought) don't support 4g for some reason, only 3g/HSDPA+. Either one can be solved by installing official ROM. Sadly you have to unlock bootloader again etc.

So which ROM do you recommend, the fastboot ROM I used previously caused the problems in the first place.
That was Oreo fastboot ROM

But you don't have to unlock bootloader again as long as you uncheck relocked bootloader, Twrp install again yes
I probably accidentally locked the bootloader..
I used the official ROM from miui . The fastboot developer China ROM I think. http://en.miui.com/download-317.html#460

Didn't work anyway, still can't receive calls with 4g enabled, wiped the lot, fastboot ROM with miflash. Must be my network has enabled volte and it's screwed my phone up
Ok, sucks.. I can use 4g but only in the big cities. Never had any problems with calling. Tried putting your SIM in slot 2?
