[GUIDE] Sprint sim unlock & Flash

so the on in Q&A is getting full of nothing so time to start one with the guide
I don't take any credit just posting,,,All credit goes to hotaru2k3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4572661) and Rimidal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1468774) for writing step by step and video
first off you need to be on stock sprint rom or base for this to work. also it will work on bad esn phones
1. You should be rooted
2. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run Terminal Emulator
4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission
5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)
6. You will get menu on your HTC
7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"
8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM
9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode
here's a video also if you get stuck

ok so Recognized Developer -viperboy-(http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=518868) made a app to help make it easier if some people
like before all credit goes to him, he just asked me to post in op
here's is the google play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.simunlockhelperfree
here's a link to his thread, if you have any questions it's best to post there about the app
here's a link for ppl that want to flash there phone,here's a guide on how to flash sprint htc one http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-htc-one/85426-how-flash-sprint-htc-one.html how to get spc code and how to connect to qpst

First and thanks for sharing
Added to my FAQ Guide Q24

I will have a sprint htc one in a day or two to try this, but I haven't seen much mention of data. Is anyone picking up HSPA+ with the sprint htc one on gsm?

It really depends on area. Read below:

HTC One supports: GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and WCDMA: 1900/2100 MHz (with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps)
which means that in areas where ATT uses 850mhz for HSPA(3g/4g) you will not get anything but edge/2g at best. And in areas where TMO uses AWS for 3g/4g... you will not get anything but edge/2g.
In areas where ATT has 3g/4g on 1900mhz you will be able to use it. And if TMO has 3g/4g on 1900mhz you will be able to use it.
ATT/TMO LTE will NOT work.

So I went to an ATT Store and picked up a free gophone sim card, I activated it successfully online, I have a phone number and added $10 to the account.
I followed all the steps to unlock, I also set it to WCDMA Prefered.
But I'm not picking up any bars.

Set it to GSM/WCDMA perferred

I don't see that as an option, but I did tried GSM only (didn't work), WCDMA only (didn't work), GSM Auto (PRL)(Didn't work), GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto (Didn't work)
If I choose any CDMA related ones, I get sprint signal, and I can call people, even though I have the AT&T sim card in.

TMobile sims seem to work better for some reason.
Make sure you have GSM Data checked in the network settings. Then you should be able to scan for networks.. see ATT listed.. click on ATT and it will try to register.

I must be blind.. but where does it show the Band and pairing BW?

If you refer to my post, my point was only that there's a little app that shows the Android service menu. The band is indicated (mine says HSPA - my contract doesn't allow LTE, so I can't say anything about that).

that app your referring to is the same menu as going into *#*#4636#*#*
also, HSPA, LTE, GSM, etc is not the band type, its a network type.. by Band type I mean LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, which is also another way to describe radio frequency
as you can see in the first pic of my first post, in the Samsung device, it shows Band 4
but my question was for mindblizzard,

I don't think the phone can show that information

That's all fine and dandy, but it's not like your carrier is operating multiple frequencies that you're likely to see ever. Maybe if you live in an incredibly dense population center, but even then... Perhaps I'm missing something.

Fair enough, if you have LTE already, and they are simply deploying a new frequency, you likely won't notice any change, to any of the service. Speeds don't increase between bands, the only reason a carrier deploys a new band, is to fight radio interference from other carriers. Given the cost of a single radio, carriers generally only deploy these new radios in VERY congested areas. Meaning, that in a city that has, say 15 towers, 2-3 of them would actually get the upgrade, in the area that suffers from the most interference. (You have to bear in mind, that a full tower build, requires 6 radios, each radio costing about $18,000 for the radio, another $1000 for the antenna, another $500-1500 for the power supply and cabling. They don't just "upgrade" an entire area, it takes too long to recoup costs)

Ah my mistake, i had in my head he meant to check for bands in the area which he can use with the 'unlocked' frequency mod..for some reason. My total mistake!
However what i meant with what i said when i get my 4g is that i can confirm that the unlock mod will enable band 20 since our OPO is restricted/doesnt support it by default. The band app would be good though!

[Q] N910F - LTE Enabled on T-Mobile via CM12

Hello everyone,
For the longest time I was not able to get LTE connection on my Note 4 international variant (N910F). I called T-Mobile about it, since I knew the phone had the capabilities to connect, and T-Mobile told me that I should have bought their phone if I wanted LTE, and that they could not help me.
Giving up all hope on LTE connection, I started installing roms to see what cool features where out there. I installed several different roms, and still I had no LTE (not that I was thinking of getting it). Then I installed CM12 and LTE appears! I check the speeds and indeed I was connected to LTE on T-Mobile line. Everything was great until I found out CM12 has three great bugs that I cannot live with: 1) No apps to SD possibility and 2) Access to the camera, from any app, crashes. I have to reopen the app a second time for the camera to function (Messenger has no access at all) and 3) Various app crashes.
So I returned to stock rom, but I miss the features of a custom rom (especially ViPER) and LTE. I tried other roms but I can't find any with LTE working.
Do you know what part of CM12 enables LTE? And if I can flash it into another more stable custom rom?
Thanks

With stock formware on N910F, the LTE icon is displayed as 4G. Try checking your connection again by going to Settings>About Device> Status... then under Mobile Network type.. you can see if you are actually connected to LTE.. There is also an app called Network Signal Info on play store. Good luck

I checked the connection on mobile network on stock ROM and the highest option I had was 4G. Maybe I'll email CyanogenMod and ask them. Thanks though

Yup....
On international phones, LTE signal is represented by 4G icon. So if you see 4G on your phone, it's actually LTE. You were already getting LTE in the first place. You did not have to flash roms and void warranty.

Do you see "LTE" as in the picture below?

No luck using the guides for adding LTE bands yet.

I tried all last night and today at adding US LTE bands and additional 3G bands. The phone took and is keeping the new NV values so far. However, as of yet, I haven't had any luck connecting to the T-Mobile LTE yet. With my limited knowledge, I think the Qualcomm chip is definitely capable of running those frequencies however the phones modem firmware doesn't have the coding to do so. I'll try and do a lot more research and figure out if I can pry into the modem firmware. If anyone has any knowledge about it then please share. This phone is simply amazing however LTE would just amplify that even more.
Here are the values I have been using in case you want to try them yourself. I kept all of the native 3g and LTE bands active in these as well.
New Values:
NV1877
0010000000000000000000000111111111000000001111000111 (Binary)

DF000100E001 (Byte Swapped hex)
2061584367839 (Decimal value for QXDM)
Just a note as well, you need build 422 of QPSD in order to do this. I tried 411 however the phone just kept showing up as an unknown device. Once I upgraded, everything was working fine.

Long time lurker, first time poster here
I'm looking into the same as you, tho I only need to add one frequency to lte to have all the needed frequencies in Norway
Did you have any success yet?

Not long
I have 4 weeks left of my contract, so unless someone finds away to unlock band 20 I will be changing after probably about 25 years.

I do not know why, but after last update, 5.7.2 now I have 4G working like a charm (in Spain)...

Just switched providers today the 4G symbol is there, although speedtest says not as fast as H+ damn.

How do you enable all the bands?

Do you use the same guide for unlocking LTE on qualcomm?

Hello, I am just amazed at reading the thread you're linking to: that means one can get frequency not listed in phones specs??
I am wandering around xda for two years and I thought this was impossible.

NO drawbacks, I went camping with it and I got a better reception comparing to the iPhone 6... My wife had EDGE, I had H+... I have dropped calls because changing the bands, now I don't

AWS would be cool.. is LTE 1900 doable?
I'm doing some more reading and am not scared of a hardhack.. glad to see there's a success story here.
Also a T-Mobile convert here. HSPA+ is still faster than what I had with Sprint LTE (laf), but I got spoiled with my brief foray into One Plus One full on both guns blazing LTE.

Signal via dBm is roughly the same for me on 6.0
Although today for a few minutes when I dropped out of an LTE area, signal bars said 3G. Not the H or H+ that I would normally see. My APNs are set properly, but did have to edit them to be so.
Maybe because this isn't a T-Mobile specific build is why it showed 3G. Because when I force 3G mode only , it shows H.
And my WiFi connect time is a bit slower as well. Instead of 2-3 seconds, it's definitely well over 10seconds to connect.

Yes. I know its 3G. Just that this was the first time EVER I saw the 3G icon displayed on T-Mobile. It's always either been E, H, H+ or LTE.
Hasnt happened since so maybe a one time fluke

lol.
i saw an E back a few months ago, an E! i live in NYC, lol. ok, its only lasted for about 20 seconds, but still..

I did just do a speed test and noticed my speeds are nowhere near as quick as they used to be, didn't notice anything until this thread, so what should the t-mobile apn settings be?

everything worked before with my previous settings, unfortunately speed has not gone up any. I used to see 40+ mbps, now I am seeing 10 at the most....i am traveling today so I will check if maybe it's just my house....

See that "Access Point Name" wasn't showing up in my settings, "CDMA Type" was what it had instead. After I upgraded to the latest LightROM, i now have that in my settings and signal is better. My guess is that marshmallow is having trouble deciding if you're on Tmobile
