It can't be done. AT&T uses a different radio tech than what Sprint does so you might mess up your phone doing it.

ok doesany one know if there is a way to shut down the cdma radio on sprints phone ...im trying to use my htc one on H2O prepaid so i need gsm
but it keeps switching back to cdma i have a custom rom and i think i have read about every post on xda by now lol...what i need is a rom that flashes the radio to whatever the developer model has
any other ideas
thanks
There is no way to use a CDMA phone on a gsm network no way at all and to flash a at&t ROM on a phone that is not at&t will cause a brick and will be a pain in the ass to fix my best advice is to sell your phone and by a at&t phone so you can use in h2o because there is no way to do what you are trying to do

Actually this phone has a SIM card capable of running on At&t if unlocked. If u want to use gsm only I think u can go to mobile network and set it to gsm/umts only. As far as flashing another devices Rom/Ruu your just asking for a brick since the mounts are completely different causing a brick

You have a website working with smartphones and you didn't know the HTC ONE is a GSM/CDMA device.

sorry i wasn't trying to be rude im just very frustrated in trying to get this to work lol
I did the following:
SuperCID to 111111
S-OFF using Revone
HTC One Simunlock from viperboy and set it to WCDMA preferred
I did upgrade to 4.2.2 but in order to use the GSM part of the phone you have to use the the oldest radio I can't remember 1.29 something
Down part:
GSM signal keeps disconnecting
Will have voice and text but no data
Everytime the phone reboots you have to keep resetting the APN
Have to keep searching for the Network
I have flashed a T-mobile RUU and a AT&T RUU and the only options they get greyed out are the options to choose what network you would like. Word of advice if the antenna is originally CDMA leave it with CDMA because it really does have some really bad issues with connecting to GSM towers. I was using MetroPCS which uses T-mobile towers but I just flashed my phone to metro and I have a solid signal all day long with no drops I just did not have MMS.
I hope that helps
No worry bro I understand unfortunately I have no idea on that you should just be able to switch over to gsm but if that's not working I have no idea

Supercid is basically changing the hboot model number when u supercid 1111111 it lets u flash any ruu and things like that. I believe there was a thread on how to do it way back might want to check the android developement section or original. Bewarned that the at&t and tmobile ruus are different from ours so there's no telling what will happen to ur phone

Hey, I live in Canada and I am with wind. I am really tempted to purchase the HTC one developer edition through a friend of mine. I know that it does not support the HSPA+ 1700Mhz network used by wind and TMO. However, the decive itself does. Would I be able to flash the TMO radio on it once they release the device, and just buy the developer edition beforehand? Just want to make sure that this would work.
People are saying that might be possible, but no one knows for sure until it has been done (not yet).

We're going to need S-Off for that and who knows when that will happen. And even then, no one really knows if it will work
Well, the developer edition will have s-off, or at least that's what I have heard. Getting the radio might be tricky, but knowing the devs on here someone will work it out. I was just wondering whether it would be physically feasible to get the missing frequency.

The dev. edition has unlocked bootloader... NOT s-off.
EDIT: No s-off confirmed by HTCdev twitter: https://twitter.com/htcdev/status/320021639762944001
OK, I guess I was wrong there. Still, after rooting my HTC hero in 2009, my sisters desire in 10, my lg p999 in 11, friends Samsung galaxy s2 in 12, I should be able to get my HTC one a new radio in a month or so, once everyone gets their hands on this awesome device.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Some of the later HTC devices, like my Amaze, only got S-Off by using a wire trick, which requires physical access to the inside of the phone (in the case of the Amaze, easily done by taking the back cover off). I wonder if S-Off will be possible on the One without physically disassembling it.
http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm .... Step 3, wire trick, which is needed for the phones listed.
Has this been done before on other HTC devices? I've preordered the 64 gb developer edition but am having second thoughts.
The reason I ask is that I bought the International version of the Galaxy note 1 with the expectation that one of our very talented developers could hack the radio to make the Tmobile band active... and it turned out to be way more complicated than anyone gave it credit for. Still not done for that note 1.
I'd like to feel a little more comfortable that this can be done with the One.
sent from my Galaxy Note II with Tapatalk
it is interesting, should be an easy fix but here in canada the only provider that is worth paying for is WIND. For $40 you get unlimited, calls, texting and data. Everywhere else it is $60 for a gig or less. So, naturally I want to stick with my provider, the only bummer is that they use the HSPA+ networks, same as T-Mobile.
The unlocked phone also cost $250 more here for some weird reason.
I don't think it will be possible, I'm sure I read that the alternative frequencies burnt off the driver chip. It might have been in the Anandtech review.
Just contacted HTC, got this as an answer ot the S-off of the Developer edition.
"Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center.
Dear Balint, I am glad to know that you are a member of the HTC family and I will be more than happy to assist you.
Regarding the first question, your HTC One has the S-off."
so it is off, and have been confirmed.

I would like to know as well.
I flashed the T-Mobile radio last week and don't get HSPA on 1700MHZ. I continue to get LTE and I still get HSPA on the refarmed towers. How do I know? I have an older T-Mobile branded phone that I can compare against. At home I get nothing better than EDGE on my Developer Edition One but I get HSPA on my other phone (T-Mobile branded). If I travel down the road a little ways I get LTE and HSPA on the One.
BTW, there are a TON of threads in this and the other One forums that are discussing the T-Mobile radio on the Developer Edition One and it seems the consensus is that you need to change your CID and, to do that, you need S-OFF. MobileTechVideos.com has supposedly gotten S-OFF with a JTAG rig and, a little more tecently, without using a wire. Check their Facebook page for that info -- http://www.facebook.com/pages/MobileTechVideos/182579981788132
We have S-OFF!

:good: to this! If anyone needs a guinea pig to test with, I have a newly s-off'ed Dev Edition in a non refarmed rural area. Just have no idea when it comes to software hacks as I'm mainly a hardware hacker/hobbyist. I miss the 3G I had with my One S, but I'm loving the 64 gigs on the One!
Sup guys,
I´m in the lookout for an HTC One and I found one with a bad ESN. Now, the curious part is that I don´t plan on using it on Sprint. I´ve read that bad ESN are only carrier related and if I were to use the phone on at&t, besides the Sim Unlock I´d need to do, Will it work even with a bad ESN?

It wouldn't work on AT&T regardless of ESN. The radios are different. Sprint phones can only be used on Sprint or other Sprint-using carriers (like Ting). Verizon on Verizon, and even AT&T/T-mobile aren't always fully compatible with eachother (sometimes lose 4G/LTE).
I see, I guess I should forget about Sprint´s One

As of right now it is not possible to SIM unlock the Sprint ONE. You can unlock the bootloader, flash to other carriers, and even flash a different PRL and force Roam on Verizon, but you cannot unlock the SIM for GSM use.
Please Update
As of now the GSM of Sprint HTC One can be unlocked using the technique from other threads.... Please tell me if i can now buy a BAD ESN Phone from ebay..... Get the GSM Unlocked using those techniques and use it in India... The radios or freq wont be a problem as India is yet to get a 4G network(Oh God we are so behind).

Hey just a FYI the HTC One cannot go on ting
From ting website:
Our program is as follows: Bring your used, inactive Sprint® device to Ting, and activate it with a Ting service plan*.
Newer smartphones like the S4 and the HTC One cannot be brought over. Likewise, BlackBerry and Push-to-Talk (PTT) devices cannot make the move.

You wont have any problems if you put it on something other than sprint (Providing it has a bad ESN on sprint), However the sim unlock guide provided here does not work with the new rom base.
Keep in mind though that sprint will randomly go through and (Scrub) A.K.A clear the bad esn's out of there system, So even though you purchased with a bad esn it could have a clean one after all.
If you have verizon in that area you could always check about flashing the HTC One to PagePlus. Full Guide Here
Now that i broke my HTC OX i will go on ebay and buy HTC O with bad esn

Wonderful news, thanks for the info
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

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

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

Go to their website and you'll found out. It took me less than two minutes to find the answer.
Hi guys,
I am on the verge of purchasing an HTC one which is on the Sprint Carrier and has a bad ESN.
I was wondering if would be possible to convert this phone into a google play edition and use it on GSM networks outside the USA.
I would appreciate it if someone can help me here.
Thanks and Regards,
Bonnie

I think the only thing that a Bad ESN will prevent is use on Sprint. As far as SIM unlocking, and GPe ROMs, I don't know much about the process.

No you need an actual GSM phone to effectively do this.

Thank you for the prompt reply. But without being unable to convert it to a GPE and use it on GSM network it will be pointless in me getting it. Can you please ask someone you know?

The phone can be used on gsm you just have to SIM unlock. As far as effectiveness of using gsm will depend on the carrier and which frequencies it uses. Converting is impossible because the official GPE is only gsm and has different partitions. You can however use a GPE Rom

I am actually using a bad ESN sprint M7 and I live in the Caribbean on a gsm network(digicel) No issues so far. I have 4g data speed.
My bootloader is unlocked with H-Boot 1.56, I'm S-off, rooted and TWRP recovery. I'm on the 6th rom I've flashed (Tried CM 11 Nightly, CM 10 Snapshot, Stock Deodexed rooted 4.1.2, 4.4.2, MIUI, Viper Rom) and I've been working on this device for about 48 hours non-stop. I am NEED of assistance if ANYONE can offer it,
Is your device also locked to another account on Sprint with the bad ESN? I've got a Sprint HTC one I've performed the Sim Unlock attempting to use my T-Mobile sim, but it will only allow Emergency Calls. No text, no voice and no data. I've gone into the *#*#4636#*#* service menu and changed the settings to WCDMA, but NO dice. Searched for service and nothing appears, just a blank screen! I've even attempted to change RUIM settings in DFSCDMA Tool. I have changed the radio around about 5 different times with NO fix. I have searched high and low on these forums and haven't found anyone that can help me.
Sorry for my bad English.
Does anybody know how to convert a Sprint One to an internation Htc One? My phone has already been s-off and supercid.
Thanks everyone.

Sadly, no. It's not possible since Sprint is CDMA.
You can unlock the SIM card slot which will let you use SIMs from international carriers. See the thread in the main Sprint HTC One forum.

I've already unlocked. Anyway, thanks.I also have a little problem about Data icon, my Sprint HTC One show GSM instead of H or 3G. The internet speed is quite slow.:crying:

Go to default.xml, and find sku_id (which is somewhere near the bottom) change the value 10 to 42, and you should be getting H/3G icons again.

Ive been through hell with this, this past week.
Sprint m7
You would think once you root, rom, s-off, cid unlock, sim unlock and bake a cherry pi for it the damn thing would work with ATT compatible sim cards.
NOPE. well, sure, you can SOMETIMES trick it to get onto the network, but it doesnt stick, its not fast, and theres no data.
WHAT A PAIN.
I want to sell this now, but Im not even confident it will work on international GSM networks, even though the sim is unlocked (and cid unlocked!)
i dont think ill ever buy a non-international phone again. Well, my one X+ att flavor worked out ok, but there are so few roms for it... oh well...

You might have to downgrade to an older version of android though, because when I tried it, it didn't work. I believe I was on viperone at the time of testing.

i am fully vested in bringing this model phone back from whatever hell its been through now. stayed up till 2am last night reverting this thing back to stock after it went through all the OTA updates. I am an HTC one m7-wls master now
i wont be home until tomorrow, but i will be trying the fix in that link. i really hope it works.... i made a crystal clear call yesterday before i lost the network, so i KNOW this phone can talk to the towers near me on H2O plan... i just have to get the stupid software right.
OK, so I am done.
Recap (without getting boring)
I did the sim unlock, and also the "fix". FINALLY got the phone to register on H20. And I do have data too, but its GSM only (very slow). The only way I got any of this to work is be fully 4.1.2 stock.
It is set to WCDMA preferred.
also, even though I did the "fix" it still loses the network after a reboot.
I am so done with this phone. I am updating it fully and throwing it on ebay. F this thing! No more sprint phones for me, thank you.
