Sprint HTC One wont find NET10 Network - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need Help Please
I finally got my Sprint HTC One Simunlocked, along with S-OFF, and Bootloader Unlocked.
The problem I am running into is I am trying to get it to run on NET10. I got my HTC to recognize the NET10 sim, but it wont recognize the network. I have tried various APN settings and still nothing I have also tried *#*#4636#*#* and changed the setting inside and still nothing. I am not sure exactly what settings I should have it on or if there is anything else I need to do to my HTC to get it to work.
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

going out on a limb here so i might be wrong.
Net 10 is GSM. (at least it was.)
Sprint is CDMA/LTE
You need a GSM/LTE HTC ONE. (AT&T, GPe, T-Mobile )
Im not sure the Sprint version has the right radios inside it to help you out.

You need a GSM HTC One, not a CDMA.

[Q] Not staying connected on Metro PCS

I rooted my Sprint HTC One to be used on Metro PCS but I cannot keep a GSM signal for my life on this phone. Once the signal bar drops down to 1 bar then the entire data and voice is disconnected and then I have to go back into my settings and register on the Metro PCS/T-mobile network. Not to mention the fact that Metro PCS/T-mobile does not even give the APN settings to make sure that you send receive MMS but thank god for the XDA-Developers or else I would be SOL. I was previously using the sprint radio 1.00.20.0315 and it was spotty so I flashed T-Mobile radio T-Mobile_US_4A.17.250.20_10.4 that I took from the T-mobile HTC one on here and it was working great for about 3 hours and it began disconnecting again. I do not have the option to roam at all. I did the S-OFF from Revone, I have done the SUPERCID so I can use any carriers RUU’s. I have the SIM Unlock from VIPERBOY. I was on WCDMA preferred but with the T-mobile radio I was able to use GSM/WCDMA/LTE (auto). Can anyone help me keep with either a radio, ruu, or just some insight as to a way to make sure my hard work did not go to waste.
I thought this was a problem with my phone but it is happening to my wife’s Sprint HTC ONE rooted, S-OFF, SIM Unlock as well. I was going to use the cdmadev tool and flash the phone to metro but that would be a waste for me if I wanted to go back to Sprint.

Sprint HTC wont find other networks

Ok I got my Sprint HTC one Sim Unlocked and Super CID, Rooted and Booloader unlocked.
I need to get it up on the ATT network, it reads my Net10 sim, but wont pick up any other network except the Sprint.
Do I need to flash a GSM rom to get it to work or is there another way please help.

If you want a brick, go ahead and flash a GSM ROM.
In seriousness, what have you tried? You should be able to switch the phone's network mode under Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Mode. For AT&T, you'd probably what GSM/UTMS only. Failing that, you can try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and under Phone Info, changing the network mode there to something with GSM. No guarantee that those settings will stick across a reboot though.
Still nothing

Thanks for the reply, I know I could brick my phone so I havent tried a GSM rom. But i have tried all the settings that you stated above and nothing sems to work. My HTC does read the NET10 sim I put in but just wont pick up the network. I am thinking a few things that either the Sprint RUU I am running does not allow the phone to pick up other networks, or maybe the band frequencies are not installed only CDMA. Or maybe the option to choose GSM may be locked somehow on the phone and maybe needs to be unlocked. These are only guesses thought. I do know for sure that the phone does give me options to choose gsm, lte, cdma and more but when choosing it does not get signal only CDMA. I even tried choosing other radio band frequencies with no luck. There has to be a way.
Is it possible to flash GSM radio bands without messing anything up? Not sure thats why I am asking. Or is there a sprint ruu that includes GSM bands.
Please help if you can.

Wait, you're not sure if you're SIM-unlocked? Your phone should be capable of picking these things up by default; you could talk to Sprint cusotmer service and see if the phone's global mode has been enabled.
Yes

Yeah my phone is Sim Unlocked, Super Cid, and rooted. It does read other sims but wont pick up other networks such as GSM. This really does suck. I cant call Sprint because I got the phone off of someone who no longer has Sprint and their contract was never finished. So I Sim Unlocked it myself.
My Conclusion
I come to beleave that it is not possible to have a Sprint HTC One work on any other networks except theirs. I have tried every possbile solution that this site has to offer and nothing. It also seems to me that no one has come up with a soultion either. I have searched everywhere and no one has a strait forward answer. All that I can get it to do is recognize other sims once sim unlocked, but whats the point if you cant get it to pick up other networks such as GSM.

You have to enable domestic roaming and turn roaming guards off. Than go to network and select the network operator MANUALLY. This way it'll work, but it was stated by some users that you'll loose signal from time to time and will have to redo the process again (select network manually)

I feel that way about locking onto AT&T.. or connecting at all for that matter. But I HAVE used T-mobile for about 4 months, albeit losing the signal, and having to re-register from time to time. you can make it work. in *#*#4636#*#* go with WCDMA preferred.. 800Mhz freq.. I wasn't even s-off when I was making it work..so obviously no SuperCID either.. i have since obtained both, and STILL cannot connect to AT&T.. the Network Selections are just greyed out...
Hello, I have a Sprint HTC One running perfectly on a GSM company, called Telcel here in México. Recently I wiped everything and started again, and with the stock rom (Sense 6 4.4.2) I wasn't able to choose the GSM mode, I was stuck on CDMA mode without service, until I flashed again the latest firmware (5.09.451 or something like that), and all the problems were solved, currently I'm running ViperOne rom for the sprint variant, with the latest firmware and everything is perfect, hope this help.

First is the unlock process, to do that you first should install a 4.2 RUU, then unlock the device company. After, root and install a recovery, flash the ROM that you want, and flash the required firmware, depending of the version of android. That's all, if you want more help add me on skype, I speak spanish.
Good luck.

Activating Cricket HTC Desire 510 on Virgin Mobile?

Hello, I would like to start off by congratulating all the users and devs for building a nice community around the HTC Desire 510.
I have a Cricket HTC Desire 510 that I have just recently installed recovery and root on.
I have contacted Cricket and acquired the 8-digit Network SIM Unlock PIN, so that I can put my Virgin Mobile SIM Card in the phone and not be stuck on the "Network SIM Lock" page.
This is where I am stuck and need some advice, I would like to get this phone working in Virgin Mobile.
I have the Cricket phone carrier unlocked now with my Virgin Mobile SIM card in the phone, but I am unable to get any signal and when searching for Network Carriers in the mobile data menu, it only shows AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Metro PCS, and Edge Wireless.
Will I need to unlock basebands, flash a new radio, firmware or something else? I am still on Cricket stock rom, kernel, firmware, radio, ect.
I have heard of tools like CDMA Workshop and DFS Tools to flash phones with, but they usually referred to phones without sim cards in those tutorials.
Thank you for your help.
EDIT: It appears that even though I removed my Virgin Mobile SIM card from my previous phone, it still works normally, which may mean that what I am trying to do is not possible, please let me know, thank you.

It's not possible to do what you're trying to do! Virgin Mobile will not accept any phone that's from another carrier trust me I've tried it with a Samsung galaxy and they would not do it!
The MEID from your cricket phone is not in Virgin Mobile's system and they're never going to put it in there either!!
Edit: The SIM card in these types of phone's are only to get you an LTE signal... You can remove the SIM card and you'll still get 3G and be able to fully use the phone just without LTE so really putting the SIM in another phone isn't helping anything.

Trouble with sprint m7

Hi
I have a sprint m7 with the latest cyangenmod and i would like to be able to activate it on t-mobile or att i have the msl code but cant get it to prompt for it or pick up signal!
Please help me activating my phone!
As far as I know Sprint M7's cannot be unlocked to work on domestic carriers.
Even if i have the msl and the radio bands are correct?

tap phone and open the dialing pad an hit *#*#4636#*#* then tap Phone information and scroll down to "set preferred network type" in there you'll find a way to switch to LTE/GSM but I don't know if it will work unless the phone is S-off or already carrier unlocked.
Hi! thank for the responce.
My phone carrier is unlocked, i do what you said, then restar the phone, then put the SIM pin and a pop up message appear "Unlocking SIM" wait for 30 minuts and nothing happens, the little popup window remains there, the only way to take it off is pulling off the SIM.

So does mine and it's also CDMA and from what I know the CDMA phones cannot be unlocked from the carrier to use another network and the only one cable of doing that is the GSM phone not the CDMA ones. So mines still locked to Sprint and I'm s-off too.

If you want to get s-off, and your phone is 32 bit and NOT 64 bit, you can go to the website ---> The Root Ninja and download the app called Sunshine that @jcase made specifically for obtaining s-off. After you get your one time, one use license, if you need help with it you can either talk to @jcase or if he's not available you can come back here and I'll help you out. If your phone is 64 bit don't bother even trying to s-off it's not going to work with Sunshine and don't bother @jcase about it working for 64 bit because it doesn't and won't.

If you're not in USA then it doesn't matter because you're phone is most likely 64 bit since only 32 bit is sold in USA. If you're sim unlocked already there might be a way to get GSM to work so try this... Open the phones dialing pad and enter code *#*#4636#*#* and then tap Phone Information and then scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and then see if you can get it to work. But you'll most likely need your service providers APN (Access Point Name) and you'll have to set it up in the phones Settings in Network.

no, my phone is a virgin mobile (from sprint) i have tried the 4636 menu but with no luck, the phone only allows me to change to some of the options like LTE only, LTE CDMA, LTE WCDMA, CDMA EVDO GSM WCDMA LTE AUTO, GSM WCDMA LTE AUTO, GSM WCDMA, CDMA + LTE EVDO AUTO, and others and with any it doesnt wrabs signal. any of the gsm ones should do the trick but none does it.
and when i try to auto connect to network show that my simcard dont allow connection to this network and i tried 2 working sims with the same result

I've tried to tell a lot of people that there's no way to get a CDMA Virgin Mobile brand phone to work on GSM Networks, it's impossible and no one bothers to listen to me so I don't tell people to not try anymore I just try to support what they want to do. It's never going to work but you can keep trying and if you find a way to get it to work post the solution here.

ok, but how are you so sure?
the htc one m7 and the m8 from sprint can be used on gsm being cdma phones in first place, in fact i do own a htc one m8 from sprint that i succesfully unlocked and use it right now with a gsm network in my country.
also i do remember that other cdma/gsm phones like the htc pro 2 was capable to work on either network.
maybe something is still missing and we havent done all to achieve succes. ill keep try before selling the desire like this

Because Virgin Mobile purposely made it that way so that it can never be used with any other carrier but them... I know this because I have gone out of the Country a lot because I'm in the Military and when I asked VM to unlock the SIM card they said they cannot unlock it because even if they did it's never going to work with another SIM/Carrier and believe me I tried and tried while I was in Afghanistan and I eventually just gave up and bought a small stupid flip phone to use while over there instead. But like I said, you can keep trying. I'm not trying to tell you not to try because you might find a way when I couldn't.

hello,
we had a discussion about it in other thread. people tried it, soffed 510, and tried all the way. i have sprint, virgin, boost 510 sim unlocked. i am using it with other cdma carrier with evdo working. i even tried it setting to gsm, but it doesnt works. i tried adding gsm bands via dfs tool too, but still it doesnt work. igsm bands are locked in radio or radio doesnt have support for it. We need a gsm 510 radio to work on it. if someone have a knowledge uptill radio level, who can patch radio of 510 then it may work..
but @MrMike2182 is right too.. lol , but we never know... like sprint htc m9... people thought its impossible to unlock, but now you can sim unlock it ..

im begginning to suspect that the lower level devices the issue is that the hardware is acutially different. flagship phones are not made with many different variants,so the simlock and profile are controlled via software and thus able to be "unlocked"
ive gotten a sprint one max to work on gsm,but tried alot of different things trying to get a virgin mobile desire 816 to work with zero success. the fact that folks to use these phones on other cdma networks does indicate they are no longer sim locked.
cheaper phones like this the best advice is to sell it off and just get a gsm version. there are plenty out there that will work without the hassle.

Trust me I've done everything under the sun to get this sucker to work on GSM and it won't do it... When Virgin Mobile refused to SIM unlock it saying it cannot be unlocked I got pissed and S-off'ed the phone and it works with other CDMA carriers but it just won't work with GSM but I was thinking it may have something to do with the radio but I don't want to mess around with that just yet because that'll brick it for sure if I get it wrong..

true. lower end devices, dont have capabilities. i used htc one max sprint on gsm , it works on cdma with nv and also on simcard. m7 also works that way, but to make it work with other cdma sim, we have patched radio for m7, it was realased on some chinese forum, later posted by someone on xda. Htc one m8 sprint, verizon works best. works on gsm, works on cdma sim, works on nv too with other providers, you dont even need to touch radio.. i even relocked and got latest ota. still it works best with all. truly world phone..
