Activate phone without original SIM - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I have bought a second hand phone and live in Europe. If I factory reset the phone or flash a new ROM will I be able to use the phone even though I don't have a Sprint SIM? I remember what a pain it was to hactivate the iPhone. Does it get stuck to activation after fresh install?

Nexus One reboots abd freezes if making a call

Hi,
My friend bought a Google Nexus One, it is in great condition, looks as if no one used it, and this is odd because that model is old.
When using it without a SIM, it works fine, but when he puts in a SIM and trys yo make a call or SMS, the phone goes crazy and shows the X logo.
What can this be?

ROM Tool Box Pro boot animation installation function won't work on my HTC One. I have a Sprint phone and the animation is not bad for Sprint.

I am stuck!

Aright guys, maybe someone here can help me. hopefully
I bought a sprint htc one to use on my tmobile plan
it took me days to finally be able to sim unlock it using viperboys app while on BadBoyz rom
Now, I am still on Badboyz rom, but I can't get my phone to pickup any signal from tmobile, it stays connected to sprint!
I do not know which option to use when I enter the *#*#4636#*#* screen, I do not know what APN settings to use, what rom to use,
I am so lost, all I want is to be able to use My tmobile service. If anyone could give me some advice I would be so thankful!
Are you using a t-mobile SIM card?

thats way too much hassle lol i was hoping for an easy fix lol
would running through the setup app sort out my problem?
You can modify this with a Cyanogenmod Rom as I know in Phone/settings/additional settings
This number is stored on SIM card
Edit. I don't know if you can modify with something else.

I've modified the phone number on my old HTC HD2 with this method then I putted back the SIM card back on my ONE. (Used a SIM card adapter for that because the HD2 has Mini SIM).

[Q] HTC one no sim card detected.. HELP

I have an HTC ONE m7 that is about a year old and is rooted and running omni rom. It has been rooted for about 6 months and I had been running cyanogonmod and everything was running fine until last week when I got the dreaded sim card error. a restart of the phone did the trick. 2 days later it happened again and this time a restart did not work and my phone was out of commission for about 4 hours as I tried everything to fix it (including a full wipe of cyanogen and a fresh install with omni rom) with no success. Then one random time I restarted it popped back up and everything was fine. Now over the last few days it keeps giving me the sim error and only goes away after random amounts of time and restarts. If the error does go away and I have service. I get 4g LTE for about 10 minutes before I lose the ability to make any calls/texts or have any data connectivity. I have tried the scotch tape trick with no success as well as changing my APN. I'm sadly starting to think this may be a hardware issue.
Any thoughts??

Test your phone with another sim card
test your sim card in another phone
If the phone is defective, send it for repair
If the sim is defective, buy another one.

The sim is working in another phone and a working sim is also not working with my phone.. Any thoughts on where to send it for repair? AT&T said they will not replace it and HTC said the same
Why did they say they wouldn't?

apparently ATT said they wouldn't because the phone is just over a year old and they only replace devices that are under a year. And htc said that isnt a known issue and because I bought the phone over a year ago, they couldn't help me

well you can send your phone for repair to htc even if its more than 1 year old but you'll have to pay for the repair.
Ahhh damn. It sucks but you will have to pay. A lot cheaper than getting a new phone

Yeah its a real bummer. I'm still just confused on why it all of a sudden stopped working. I mean I didn't drop it or get it wet and didn't make any software changes either. Its just odd.
