I switched to AT&T and want to sell my Sprint HTC One. I noticed after hard resetting the phone, it still has my phone number and current username info under About>Phone Identity. Does anyone know how to remove this info?
You can't really unless u sell it to someone and they activate the phone under their account then once that is done they have to update the phone profile under settings- activate device- update profile

You should be able to do this. I was able to do it on my EVO, but obviously, this info MAY be out of date.
You will need your MSL though, and unless you're rooted, you'll need to call Sprint to get it anyways. As the mod in the linked thread points out, you might as well get their help with it since you'll have to call them anyways. My EVO was rooted so I've known my MSL all along.

You can still use it as a wifi only tab.

I know, I would eventually like to add it to my Sprint plan.
Then what is the problem ? Here in europe you can use any phone you want with the plan you subscribe.

that it may be linked to another account??
Why don't you just contact the guy that sold it to you?
Sorry but are you guys on drugs or something?
All you do is put another sim card in, Or am I mistaken and Sprint do not use sim cards or something?
It's a cdma version, so no sim card. But i think you can still use it with another plan. Try to contact sprint.

a lady stole my friend sgs luckily she doesn't know how to use the phone at all, its been 3 weeks and i'm still trying to find where she lives
the phone still has the gmail account linked i installed plan b and androidlost but they both needs me to send a text message to activate them and i dont have her number
plan b doesnt seams to works as everyone knows that the sgs with stock rom has a very bad gps lock
my best lock will be with androidlost as it has many features
we already notified the police but with no info at all on her we wont be able to do anything
i would hope if there is any app that would send her phone number to he linked gmail account , or any other kind of apps that may help
The only apps that I know of that will do that are Avast! and Cerberus, but both have to be installed beforehand.
Don't know how to do what you want but i hope you removed any card details from your account so they cant buy things on the app store with your details.
Your gmail account should have the ip addresses it was accessed from this may be of use to the police. This can be found at the bottom right of your inbox.

What carrier is the phone with?
Sprint has a family locator plan that can be initiated remotely. I believe they offer a free 2 week trial.
You can try pulling the call history online with the carrier to get the numbers called
and even request that the phone be traced.
Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710)
Try to contact google, if you have a police report with the IMEI you might pull of a IP log of the people who accessed the acccount, from the you could go to the carrier company with your police report or the cops could do it and they'll be able to pull of her records by the IP.
I can't figure out why the US doesn't enfore locking the phones by IMEI, I remember my brand new iPhone was stolen last year and the cops couldn't do a thing. so I suggest you or your friend do this step by step and hope for the best.
sadly i dont live in the US so all these things are impossible , police wont do **** here , i'm still waiting for plan b to lock on gps but still no email , i'm keeping the gmail account still on the phone because it has no valuble info except for the contacts which are already backed up , and the person who stole the pone is so dump and cant even know how to install or uninstall apps

Not for stolen phones. Bad ESN if its CDMA or lock it down by calling the carrier if GSM.

if only some one made an app that will look for a contact name and send an sms to it and the user can save that predefined contact to google contacts which will sync to the phone
so if the app is looking for Joe123 all you have to do is create a new contact in google contact with Joe123 and input you second phone number
then wait for it to sync with the stolen phone then install that app which will send you an sms with the theif number and possibly GPS if available
and once you get that number you can install androidlost and start controlling the phone
thats just an idea and i hope some one will make it true one day
I think the one WiredPirate linked to should work..
You can still install apps via the online play store can't you? Then why can't you install avast?

Assume you already got an answer but here it is...
I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 which is a dual CDMA/GSM phone. That means that while in US, my phone uses the CDMA network. However I can request that my phone be unlock for international use through GSM network using 3 party foreign SIM card. The way it is done is through PRL update and UICC unlock. Hope that helps.

Flashed cm10.1 release candidate today. Everything seemed fine, then I discovered I wasn't receiving calls and wasn't able to make calls either. Anybody have any similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may have done to cause this or if there are any settings I may need to change? Please help. Thanks in advance.
I literally just had this problem and spent the past 5 hours with useless tech support.
Don't call Sprint tech support, they just end up doing something on their end that makes you lose your texting and data, too. They ****ed me so hard I have to go into a repair center.
I can't even get another phone correctly activated in the meantime to use as a placeholder.
I'm just as lost as you are, too.
Try ##786# menu and reset. Make sure you are in a good signal area, this will do hands free activation and update prl.

The problem with trying that is the phone number and MSID fields are now blank, and going into the other dialer menu ##221542# and setting them that way doesn't stick past the reboot it forces when you try and apply those.
Maybe try following this thread

Tried that a couple different times with a couple different tech support reps, each time the phone number and MSID don't stick afterwards.
Sorry I tried, I don't have any other ideas. Hopefully someone else can help.

My older phone is finally activated (took well over an hour for calls and data to come back to it, by far the longest I've ever seen a phone take). So at least I have a phone again.
Good luck OP, I'm going to visit a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they say. Report back in on whatever it is you try and what you find does/doesn't work.

Back from the Sprint store, the rep I had happens to be a flasher like one of us. I explained to him what had happened and he got right to ordering me a new phone after a $50 deductible.
So, OP, we were both SOL. The MSID had gotten corrupted (similar to how in the early days of the Galaxy S3, it had a chance to lose its ESN) and couldn't be re-written. Only thing to do is get a replacement.
Has anyone been able to successfully flash this to boost mobile yet? I'm thinking of buying one tomorrow and was wondering if it has already been done.
Actually I figured it out. Completely full flash with working mms and 3g. I will post a guide if anyone wants me to?

The only other HTC that I ever flashed was the m7 and its exactly like that. The only issue is I can't get sms to work - which is weird because I've never had a problem with that on any device. 3g and talk are good. Sms is hit or miss. Anyone have any possible solutions? Toggling Airplane mode works sometimes, but not consistently...

Can anyone confirm sms is working?
I have also succesfully flashed an HTC One M8 to Boost but I wanted to experiment with an LTE donor phone to see if it would give me LTE on my One. To my surprise it did! I managed to get almost everything to work (Call, Text, SMS, MMS, 3G, partial 4G). I say partial 4G as I manage to receive an LTE signal (I can confirm) for about 10 minutes and then I get a notification saying "Invalid Sim Card." This message also popped up on my HTC M7 when I tried the same procedure on it. I was digging through the donor phone's settings and the M8's and I noticed that the IMEI's don't match. Could this be the reason for the drop in LTE signal? If our fellow flashers could help me sort this final issue out I will not hesitate to release the steps that I took to get an active LTE signal on a Boost Mobile flashed phone. Thanks!

What method did you use? I tried flashing the m8 awhile back and had issues with sms. I had talk and 3g, but for some reason I couldn't send or receive text messages. I used the open sesame door method, then replaced files 0 and 1943 with those that contain my info. Afterwards, I went into DFS and wrote mdn, min, and 3g settings.
When you went into QPST to find NV items 0 and 1943, you zeroed them out first right? I used the exact same method as the M7. Write NV items from the donor phone, zero out the ESN, write the ESN, and finally use QPST to write the profiles.

Actually I'm not sure. I have a file that contains my donor information for items 0 and 1943, so I'm pretty sure I just deleted them on the M8 and replaced them with donor info without actually zeroing them out first. After that, I went into DFS and immediately edited the mdn, min, and profile info.
I would say that you should try zeroing out the ESN first and then writting it cause I've never had an issue when doing this method.

Okay so I did what you said, but now I'm getting a wicked error 16 message. Normally I would just stay on with customer service and they would have me power down the phone then turn it back on in a few minutes and the error would go away. This time that hasn't happened at all. I loaded a boost prl into the phone manually but I still haven't had any luck. You have any suggestions?
EDIT: I got it taken care of. Customer Service gave me a new msid. Do you guys still have that nagging hands free activation?
I activated my phone OTA so that got rid of that pesky notification.
