I just bought an unlocked HTC One direct from HTC. I was planning to use it with the T-Mobile $30 plan, but I've since read that the unit that ships from HTC directly only has AT&T radios. Is this true?
If I want to use the device on the T-Mobile plan, should I cancel this order?
If I root the device (as I've done with my Galaxy Nexus) can I download and install the T-Mobile radios manually?

Hi,
I am thinking of buying an htc one sprint version from ebay. It says it needs to be activated on sprint. Can we unlock it without activating it on sprint?
Its possible:
Seems like most have the best luck using T-Mobile SIM

Essentially the title. I'm looking at potentially doing Straight Talk with the Moto X, and I'm wondering if it would be better to go with the ATT version, or with an unlocked edition such as TMo or the GSM Dev edition. My understanding is that the ATT one would need to be unlocked first, but are there any other differences I should be aware of?
Also, can someone outline the process of setting up the phone for Straight Talk?

Using AT&T MotoX currently with Straight Talk AT&T. I would have preferred T-Mo's version so I could unlock the bootloader. But they both work in AT&T Straight talk (friend has the unlocked T-Mo version and it works on his). I can't say for sure if AT&T MotoX works with Straight Talk T-Mo LTE, but it should at least get their HSPA signals.

That's good to know.
Is there any extra steps involved in using the ATT phone vs the T-Mo phone with (ATT) Straight Talk? I've heard it has to be unlocked first which either requires $30 or rooting the phone.

If you get the ATT Moto X, you have to use the ATT straight talk unless you unlock the phone to use Tmobiles towers. That's how I understand it.
I just activated my Moto X on ATT straight talk 2 weeks ago. No issues so far and I get 4g LTE service in my city.

Do OTA updates come normally on Straight Talk? As in, through ATT's network (if you're on ATT ST)

They do. I have the tmo X running off of straight talks att Sim card. It picked up the 4.4 ota within 5 minutes of being on the network.
For op. I'd recommend the T-Mobile version just for the fact that it's factory unlocked. You don't have to worry whose towers you're using on straight talk since you're able to pick up LTE on with one as long as there's signal.
Second reason, you don't have all the carrier bloat and crap. I personally think it looks cleaner without the at&t apps.

Straight talk sim
Straight Talk says they don't supply the nano sim needed for the Moto X. What do you guys recommend doing if I want to go with Straight talk. I have the TM version of the X.

I bought a cutter from amazon. It was $13, but it made a perfect cut. If you're going to use scissors, I'd recommend downloading a template and that you have steady hands.

You can go with any simcard you want. Mine was one of the original regular Sims from when they started the byod almost two years ago

Hello,
I was wondering if I am able to unlock my prepaid Sprint HTC Desire 510 to use on a Sprint MVNO (like FreedomPop) by rooting using a guide like this. Apparently I wasn't able to activate the phone on FreedomPop because it is locked or "unreleased," so I am curious if rooting it would allow me to use it on FreedomPop.
Thank you for your time!
I have a sprint HTC one m7 and I would like to use it one straight talk. I have parts from a damaged att m7 and was wondering if you would think it possible to swap the antennas and antenna boards and be able to use it on straight talk. Thanks.
