Hey guys. I was wondering what steps I need to take to get my Sprint HTC One up and running on tmobile. I've tried everything with no success. I am running 4.3 stock rooted deodexed with S-Off, sim unlock, and the older radio. I am still unable to pick up a tmobile signal. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The unlock works 100%. If you don't see "SIMLock enabled" than it was successful. Probably the phone doesn't support your phone's frequencies. Don't jump directly to the last solution, read the thread thouroughly

Ive been doing the process over and over again and simlock is still visible on the secret menu .... Elvis ive followed your guide perfectly i even know all the steps by memory ...if it helps here is the htc one imei 990001460590706
Please heeelp me
Delete your IMEI please, it's not wise showing it to everybody. If you did get s-off and than downgraded, did you root your phone and than tried the "Sprint HTC One SIM unlock helper" app? What did the app say? I'm sure you didn't do some steps otherwise your phone would be unlocked. Hundreds of people have unlocked their phone this way. If the "SIMLock" message doesn't go away you probably don't have a sprint one

The Sprint HTC one has blocked the carrier id's for domestic use aka att etc.. You can however if your s-off you can flash the initial release radio the first radio when the Sprint HTC was released and it will allow you to connect to domestic carriers. Here is the first radio released http://d-h.st/HHD I can pick up T-Mobile and att using the initial release radio, it is the only radio I could get to pick up signal with. The radio may be the reason your thinking that its not working, With any other radio you will get no signal and no networks avail. Your probably unlocked if you followed what elvisypi said, your just using the wrong radio. I would try flashing that radio and see what happens, I am in Ohio so i am using domestic carriers. Also make sure there bands in your area are covered.

Follow the guide posted above. After unlocking it you might have issue when connecting to other carrier s network so be sure they are using compatible frequencies. I'm almost sure you will not be able to connect it to any other CDMA carrier. Normally CDMA carriers will not accept a phone on their network if not sold by them.
Next time if you are planning to switch carriers, buy a gsm phone, much easier! even with a locked gsm phone, you'll only need to sim-unlock the phone with a purchased code then put in any gsm sim card.
Sorry I can't help you more, I'm not familiar with the WLS variant.

Is it possible to flash a different version of the software on the T-Mobile M9. I unknowingly bought the Tmobile M9 and would like to install the unlocked / developer M9 software over it. I hate the Tmobile logo and noise at bootup.
Yeah, download any m9 gsm ROM and flash via twrp

Are there any that have it working? I've tried viper and insert coin and both have it in settings, but the feature itself seems to not work at all, as it never activates.

I don't know of any, but at one time @LeeDroid was going to try to get it working. However, he had a setback with carrier support, and he has had to put it on the back burner for now.

Go to this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-one-m9/general/please-read-rooting-using-twrp-t3069022]. There you will find all the tools you need to return your M9 to stock, so that you can take an OTA. @Rydah805 has put that thread together, and it will give you all the information you could possibly need.

For firmware you need to be S-OFF, too flash a Eu rom, download and flash in recovery.

Hi, I am trying to convert to Tmobile. I bought Verizon M9 because I got a good deal on it and thought since they are unlocked I could just put my SIM in and be working right away. I can make calls and text message and use internet after adding the APN. But I can't get the hotspot to work, hate the Unknown SIM notification and all the VZN apps. To get my phone as close to Tmo as possible would I just have to follow Captain_Throwback's guide and then flash a Tmo rom, or restore a backup, or RUU? Sorry for the noob question

I didn't think you could use a Verizon phone on a GSM carrier network, but if you can that's cool. If your phone is working on the T-Mobile network you can unlock the bootloader and root to install a T-Mobile rom, but you will have to check with the Sunshine thread to see if they have it working on Verizon M9's yet. If they do you can S-OFF, and install T-Mobile firmware and rom. Keep me posted on how you do.

I have S-OF,unlocked bootloader,root and latest software

Perhaps because of the CID? Maybe we should change the CID?

Relocking the bootloader shouldn't be necessary to run a RUU. I didn't need to.

Hello
I have unlocked my s6 by using the metro pcs firmware upgrade method .
I have reflashed the t mobile deoxed version rom .
All was working fine until few hours ago when my phone stopped receiving network .
Reboot didnt work too until i switched on wifi back on .
Is it something to really worry about ?
One more queery: once i unlocked my phone does it mean its permanently unlocked to any network because right now im residing in asia .

I think both questions have the same answer, you can't use any other firmware other than metro pcs. I remember seeing that in a different thread. If you paid it off free and clear call tmobile and they should permanently unlock it for free. I think all you need is your imei or serial number.
So can i reflash the metro pcs firmware and still have the device unlocked ?
I have purchased the unlock code off one of the leading sites on web.
I called T-mobile and pestered the hell out of them and they in return pestered the hell out me, in the end I have an unlocked phone with no flashing this and that.

I can't give you a answer but why not call tmobile like ipaq_101 did? That way you don't need to care what firmware or rom your on, it will be universally unlocked. If long distance calling is a issue you can use the online help, just make sure the first rep you talk to knows you won't stop bothering them until it's unlocked.
Is it not possible to install a ROM and then, say, flash a MetroPCS modem or something? For the record, I'm in the same predicament; I'd like to flash a ROM, but am running stock MetroPCS firmware that allowed me to use an unlock code.

You can flash any compatible ROM. I Odin flashed the MetroPCS firmware only so that I could permanently unlock the SIM. (I found that the T-Mobile Device Unlock is buggy and not exactly permanent). Then I flashed the international "F" version of Alliance ROM along with UniKernel. Been working great!
As long as you don't ever flash a T-Mobile radio, you'll stay unlocked!
So I am under the impression reading around on here that even if I SIM unlock a sprint M8 and try to use on T-Mobile' network it wont work. Or maybe to be more exact it doesn't get 4G ect, and will be super limited. Well someone told me that is because of the ROM being carrier apecific and since they M8 is the same for all carriers you can flash a T-Mobile ROM on a Sprint M8 and it will work just fine. Is there any truth to this?

No it is not. You can only use cross variant stock roms if you have super cid and s-off too. Still i would suggest you to look for more clear answer but as far as i know if the cid and mid of your phone doesnt match with the software version you want to flash it wont do any good.
It's my understanding that you must use a Sprint compatible ROM, even if you are Super CID and SIM unlock for use on another carrier.

Never do that .. Even though you can flash tmobile rom on sprint , BUT NEVER FLASH A RUU . flashing a gsm ruu on cdma device will brick your phone .
Flashing t mobile rom doesn't unlock it or make it work with tmobile .
AFAIK Domestic sim unlocking is not possible for sprint variant.
