I have a HTC One Sprint, SIM unlocked.I was wondering if it's possible somehow to make it identical to the international version. I already use it as a GSM phone. I have read the partitions are different. I am pretty sure partitions can be changed look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806321 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959691
CID and MID can be changed easily, so is it possible to do this?? Does the Sprint variant have any other differences??
Can anyone give me more info pls?

Since it's unlocked and gsm, my first thought is to go for broke and flash the WWE or the dev rom and go from there. You might need to include your phone model no., cid etc in the android-info.txt file of the rom to get it done, but it should work. You could also try the dev RUU exe and see if that converts it.
Different radios??? I'm pretty sure if you flash a gsm Rom wether it's AT&T T-Mobile or the international version you'll be saving up for a new phone

Umm I don't know how a Sprint phone is gsm to my knowledge it is cdma or correct me if I'm wrong

So the hardware is different, I know that it has a different antenna, but the rest should be the same. I'm telking more here for being able to flash GSM RONs

Alright, so I've tried everything, everything I can, to get the LTE back working on the HTC one. And i mean everything, I've updated the Firmware to the current firmware, flashed, and reflashed the ARHD Rom that I use, clean, and dirty installs, over and over again, and i just can't seem to get it to recognize that we are in LTE, it insists on using H.
I've gone into the dialer code, and checked it displays HSPAP, and when i switched it to LTE Only, it refused to find a signal at all. I don't know what i need to do, the oddest thing was, i hadn't made any changes! It was working on LTE before i gave it to my girlfriend, when i did, I did the 4.2 fix, to clear up the internal memory by wiping it, then ADP pushing ARHD to the phone. Low and behold week or two later i notice that it's saying H, when i know we are in LTE coverage, because well its where we live, and it had been before, and because my phone right next to it, has 5 bars of LTE glory.
Any tips, suggestions, anything, would be GREATLY appreciated, cause I'm stumped. I've never played with radios, aside from updating the firmware with whatever those come with, and as i said, it was working fine before doing the memory fix to clear it for my girlfriend to take over. Please please, someone have a suggestion, i want her phone to run the LTE it should when she's not one wifi.
Reflash official ruu back?
check the APN.
Can't find the official RUU, and the APN settings seem to be fine, alongside what everything says it should be.
S-OFF ?
What's your CID?
The loss of LTE is certainly interesting, It shouldn't be firmware or rom dependent. Can't be a frequency issue since this phone was working on the carrier's network prior. Have you tried putting your sim card in the phone ? Her sim card in your phone? There is always the chance of carrier error.

I'll have to look when I get home, I have it set to super cid right now. As for the sims, I had briefly, but not for an extended test, it displayed the same h for my Sim.
If it's super CID then that also likely means your S-OFF.
You can flash any RUU, but might want to start with one from your carrier if available.
lots of stock roms/ruu here:

So I just clicked the more info tab on your profile. I saw vancouver and thought Canada but your profile shows USA and ATT. you're using the apn "phone" ?
For ATT here's what you want:

What's the difference between flashing RUU and flashing firmware? Plus I've seen very small mention of my CID being responsible possibly, that going back to S-on improves speed. I don't personally believe it cause I had s-off with my Sim working fine.
S-On improve speed? That's completely illogical.
The CID has nothing to do with network connectivity; it's just there for identifying which RUU or OTA should be applied to your phone. Essentially version control for the various carrier models.
An RUU will wipe all data from the phone and rewrite all the firmware, recovery, and system. You can absolutely try extracting the firmware.zip from the RUU I linked and flashing that by itself in RUU mode via fastboot.
FWIW, I'm using an ATT branded One that's S-OFF and super CID on ATT Gophone. I've never had an issue with LTE connectivity. I also have three friends/relatives with s-off/super CID ATT branded One's using Net 10 [ATT] and they also have never had any LTE issues. All the devices I speak of are running full GPE conversions but I don't believe that to be relevant.

Alright, I just did a firmware update last night, to the current 3.62 whatever, official HTC one firmware, but I'll give it a try. Can I restore data from a nandroid backup, without it returning my firmware, or do I just need to long reinstall everything?
Nandroid doesn't backup firmware. It grabs /system /data /cache, boot and recovery.
you can RUU and then test LTE, when you get LTE working flash your favorite recovery and then restore your nandroid. LTE should continue working.

Thanks, I just tested hers with my Sim, went into *#*#4635#*#* and forced LTE and it worked! So now I'm trying to do the same with her Sim and if the problem continues we will be making a stop at ATT today.
I've had my htc one for a while, and it has been flashed quite a bit, sense roms, aosp roms, and a google edition conversion. I went to flash cm on her the other day and downloaded cm for the m7tmo, and it didn't flash until i modified the updater-script. So I was looking through all of the RUU files and almost all of them say m7ul. My first question is, is this designation part of the hboot? Secondly I bought mine from a T-mobile (U.S.) If I would have paid attention to the bootloader would it have originally said m7tmo? and if not what phones are the m7att, m7tmo etc etc roms referring to? If it was originally m7tmo, how do I get it back to that state?
Thanks in advance.

The hboot has nothing to do with if its tmo/att etc...
Now, regardless if its att/tmo it'll say m7_ul (ul being its LTE capable) otherwise im pretty sure international phones will just show an m7_l on the bootloader instead
Specifically, since i too have a tmob one, the cid should be t-mob010 (it'll say this in the bootloader, unless you had changed to supercid before).
So your phone is still "tmobile", I believe the 'm7tmo' naming by cm is just a way for the rom makers to label the rom for whatever phone its for.
Excellent Smithers. Thank you.

I have a AT&T HTC One, and I was wondering if it was possible to change it into the T-Mobile version. I found a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 that allows you to change you HTC One into a GE Editon phone, and I was wondering it was possible to do the same so you can use T-Mobile stock on this device.

Yes its possible, but you will need S-OFF. With s-off, you can change your cid/mid to t-mobile and run a t-mob ruu to convert your phone.

you need to be aware that converting to t-mobile is not foolproof
your AT&T phone has different hardware and does not have the same radio bands as t-mobile. What I mean is you can do the conversion but wifi calling wont work and you'll be missing the 1700 MHz UMTS AWS bands needed for LTE 4G and 3G on the t-mobile networks. the 700 MHz A-Block is also missing from the AT&T phone.
you can read all about it here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US

Okay...I have a T-Mobile micro SIM in this phone and.it's using the at&t stock Rom on 4.2.2 and so far the device runs well on T-Mobile's LTE network. So what would be the risk of converting this to the GE edition ? Does the GE run the same hardware or does that one have different hardware too ? I'm not concerned about the WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I have unlimited everything on T-Mobile plus 3 GB of mobile hotspot data. So that wouldn't be an issue. What would not work as far as software on the T-Mobile ROM ?

if your phone is working fine on the t-mobile network (4G - LTE) you have no worries .. convert to anything you like
Where I am in central FL a converted AT&T to Tmobile would be stuck at 2G/EDGE data ... not good

It was a success ! Thank you very much ! WOOOT !!! Running on stock T-mobile ROM with 4.3 and downloading OTA 4.4.2
Now if I wanted to return my device back to stock with the bootlader and everything, how would I do that ? I changed my cid back to the orginal but considering I flashed a stock T-mobile ROM how do I go back to the oringal AT&T ROM with full OTA updates ? For some reason I can't get OTA's using this T-mobile ROM and I have no clue how to root a converted phone to change the MID number to get those OTA's....is there a way to root a converted phone that is still on the original at&t MID or would I have to go back to stock ROM re-root and the change the CID and MID and then do the conversion all over again to get T-mobile OTA's ? Please let me know...thanks.

1- There is no difference for the root method if you converted. Btw you root the rom, not the phone. So if you root a rom and then convert using a ruu you'll have to root again.
2- MID change require S-OFF, not root.
can someone plz clear few things up for me..i know this,if i have super cid and i do..i can upgrade my firmware with non harmon version or the h.k version..but when it comes to flashing roms from the att or the tmobile or international threads im bit confused...as long as i have cid set tpo super cid can i jus proceed flashing the rom like i normally would in the sprint section ??or do i need to change the cid to att cid number before flashing there roms?or do i jus leave thecid set to super cid?i have yet to try another carrier's rom cause im still uncertain on exactly how to do so..i dont understand why we need roms ported over to the sprint section if all we need to do is change cid to super cid and flash away..surely im missing something ...i have super cid now and the htc m8 sprint h.k phone sprint phone....can i just go to any carriers development threads and choosewhat ever rom i want?..man i hope so cause that opens the door to soo much..i relize this is a newbie question and if not posted in the correct secrtion on xda id prolly be banned for good..lol..but i am in correct section so plz be easy on me
Well you could flash other roms but unless their files have been set up for sprints network you won't be able to do much there are still other differences as well between each rom for each carrier

Well you'd also have to make sure the partitions are set up correctly as well as you could end up with boot loops or worse ie: android revolution 22.1 will boot directly into bootloader unless you use a correct sprint kernel that allows for it to boot. If anything try using bad boyz rom and apply their sim unlock method. (provided your using a sprint phone internationally)
Hello XDA,
Before I came to this subforum I was under the impression I had a regular HTC One, I got the same error message and then figured out I had a Sprint HTC One.
Now I had the issue where I had no service at all, my Sim card seemed to be detected but I ofcourse had the wrong firmware on it likely causing the issue.
So I got new firmware and a cm 12 (also tried stock rom) rom, but comming up to the same error message. The Sim card is detected and I am asked to fill in the pin for it which I was not when I had the wrong rom/firmware. I am not sure what is going wrong and I hope you guys can help me.
I am in The Netherlands and I am using radio Baseband - 1.01.20.0515
Thanks
Edit:
Tried:
RUU's:
I tried flashing this ruu, no success.
I flashed 3.04.651.2 RUU and 5.05.651.2 RUU after that to be sure to have a radio (according to this thread) but with no success. I also tried flashing the radio Baseband - 1.01.20.0515 again after it dit not work.
Radio's:

I wish I could help. My only suggestion is to try to run the Sprint RUU to reset the phone back to stock with the latest firmware to see if that helps. Unless I'm mistaken, the issue is that Europe uses GSM and Sprint is a CDMA carrier. So, you may not even have the right radios in the phone. The only saving grace is that it is a worldphone that uses LTE bands so you might be able to access those. But, you may have to unlock the SIM card first. At this point, I'm pretty much just throwing out ideas I've seen on the site since I've never been in the situation myself.

sounds like you flashed a gsm rom on a cdma phone, and now the partitions are messed up, only way out of that that I know of is running the RUU for the sprint phone.
