[Q] Unlocked AT&T HTC One will not work in Taiwan, why?

Hello!
I purchased my HTC One in America thru AT&T on August 14th, 2013 (a little less than a month ago).
I recently unlocked my phone using cellunlocker.net...I followed their instructions and my phone said it unlocked.
However, now I am unable to connect it to Taiwan Mobile (aka TW Mobile).
I know the local SIM card I have is working, since I am able to use it in another phone.
I am not sure if the issue is that my phone is too new or if my phone is just incompatible with the local networks? This seems very strange to me since HTC is based in Taiwan!
Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated. I just got this phone and really love it! I hope I can continue to use it and don't have to ebay it :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for reading and have a good day

I bought an AT&T One and brought it back to Taiwan. It worked pretty well.
The only different from u is I unlocked by AT&T.

Do you have the correct APN settings entered?

In what way will it not connect?
Cross referencing this: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
With this:
http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
Says that GSM and 3G (HSPA) should both work as the frequencies match.

How do I know if I have the correct APN settings entered? I'm assuming since my phone said it did unlock after I entered the code that I did it correctly.
Do you think it may not be working because I've had the phone less than a month?
Thanks so much for the quick replies everyone. I really appreciate it! :highfive:

When I try to connect to TW Mobile, a notice pops up reading "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." Other than that, I'm not sure in which way it won't connect. Sorry I'm not uber techy :silly:

APN
Go to settings, Mobile Data, Access Point Names, and use the 3 button menu to create a new APN(Access Point Name). You will have to google (your mobile service provider name) + "APN settings" to find out what to input. Or if you have another android phone on the same network (or know someone who does) you can copy the APN settings from them. Good luck!

I would interpret that message as reporting a locked phone, it may be that the SIM unlock failed .

It can't be done. AT&T uses a different radio tech than what Sprint does so you might mess up your phone doing it.

ok doesany one know if there is a way to shut down the cdma radio on sprints phone ...im trying to use my htc one on H2O prepaid so i need gsm
but it keeps switching back to cdma i have a custom rom and i think i have read about every post on xda by now lol...what i need is a rom that flashes the radio to whatever the developer model has
any other ideas
thanks

There is no way to use a CDMA phone on a gsm network no way at all and to flash a at&t ROM on a phone that is not at&t will cause a brick and will be a pain in the ass to fix my best advice is to sell your phone and by a at&t phone so you can use in h2o because there is no way to do what you are trying to do

Actually this phone has a SIM card capable of running on At&t if unlocked. If u want to use gsm only I think u can go to mobile network and set it to gsm/umts only. As far as flashing another devices Rom/Ruu your just asking for a brick since the mounts are completely different causing a brick

You have a website working with smartphones and you didn't know the HTC ONE is a GSM/CDMA device.

sorry i wasn't trying to be rude im just very frustrated in trying to get this to work lol

I did the following:
SuperCID to 111111
S-OFF using Revone
HTC One Simunlock from viperboy and set it to WCDMA preferred
I did upgrade to 4.2.2 but in order to use the GSM part of the phone you have to use the the oldest radio I can't remember 1.29 something
Down part:
GSM signal keeps disconnecting
Will have voice and text but no data
Everytime the phone reboots you have to keep resetting the APN
Have to keep searching for the Network
I have flashed a T-mobile RUU and a AT&T RUU and the only options they get greyed out are the options to choose what network you would like. Word of advice if the antenna is originally CDMA leave it with CDMA because it really does have some really bad issues with connecting to GSM towers. I was using MetroPCS which uses T-mobile towers but I just flashed my phone to metro and I have a solid signal all day long with no drops I just did not have MMS.
I hope that helps

No worry bro I understand unfortunately I have no idea on that you should just be able to switch over to gsm but if that's not working I have no idea

Supercid is basically changing the hboot model number when u supercid 1111111 it lets u flash any ruu and things like that. I believe there was a thread on how to do it way back might want to check the android developement section or original. Bewarned that the at&t and tmobile ruus are different from ours so there's no telling what will happen to ur phone

[Q] How can we enable(trick) Sprint HTC One for Domestic(US) Sim use (data only)

After many conversations with HTC and Sprint it appears Sprint has locked out the ability for use of domestic data cards from competing carriers on their sim capable devices such as the HTC One. It is the consensus opinion this should be an unlock-able option to ensure fair competition of market provided the user is not under contract and is in good standing with Sprint/Carrier. This is currently in Legislation and backed by President Obama. There are also over 115,000 petitioners so far.
I am not under contract, in good standing(paid) yet Sprint says they "can't" enable the use of a competitors Domestic Sim, They did not use the term unlock yet a lock symbol appears in the APN settings next to the Carriers APN(Verizon, T-Mobile)when the Sim card is in. Sprint pretended to be helpful. One support agent even gave me the msid and false ##12345# code saying to use the msid then to unlock, how nice. Another Rep discovered My phone has no Unlock MSL as it is not carrier locked. I purchased it, own it, never activated it on the Sprint Network therefore no MSL needed to unlock. I have an unlocked device. Locked "to" Sprint but not "by" Sprint. I have the right to provision data from any carrier of my choosing but how?
Not going to accept that it "can't" be done. It must be possible to trick or bypass the lock. Example: I took my Nexus 7 LTE to Verizon for a data card. Initially the rep told me it would not be possible. I now have LTE Verizon data.
My question here is can we trick the phone into accepting a Domestic Sim? It must be possible after reading so many threads and seeing the genius Dev going on here. It must be possible to use the device at least for Internet Data at least 3G. LTE should even be possible.
1. Force Roaming with Roam Control?
2. International Rom then the phone would view our Domestic(US) card as International?
3. Flash a Verizon HTC One Rom to the Sprint HTC One to trick the phone into thinking it is Verizon enabling the Verizon Sim to work?(using the sim from my unlocked tablet)
Anyone try this with Success?
This may be possible by provisioning through the sim by the new carrier (If they will do it) like with my Nexus 7 tablet. But I am curious to know if the above/or other options might work.

Why is that a bad link
I have looked at the link. It is the terminal emulator means to gain entry that Viperboy has made his tool from. It did not work for me. That is why i started the thread. I am pursuing other means as stated in the Original Post

Didnt take me to any thread, using the chrome browser. I guess it works for you guys.
Anyways here's another thread, I haven't tried it though.

Should I get a One M7 - I travel overseas sometimes

I'm a bit confused after reading.
I have an account with Ting using an old iPhone 4 (3g). The iPhone was free so I figured I'd give it a shot. I do not like it.
I'd like to get a decent Android phone - I had a Thunderbolt, and through work I have a One X, so I have already invested in my favorite apps. But work phone is not for personal use so I need my own phone too. I like Titanium Backup so root would of course be needed.
I was thinking of the One M7 but - here is the actual question - I sometimes travel overseas, and would like to be able to pop in a SIM card and have hassle-free personal communications when in Europe or India, I'm not sure if this is possible with the One M7.
Or should I just buy a Nexus 5 and be done with it?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.

OK, with some more Google-fu I have answered my question (it could work).
Now I have to figure out if Sprint will SIM-unlock a used phone for me if I'm on Ting.

Sadly, no. It's not possible since Sprint is CDMA.

You can unlock the SIM card slot which will let you use SIMs from international carriers. See the thread in the main Sprint HTC One forum.

Go to default.xml, and find sku_id (which is somewhere near the bottom) change the value 10 to 42, and you should be getting H/3G icons again.

Ive been through hell with this, this past week.
Sprint m7
You would think once you root, rom, s-off, cid unlock, sim unlock and bake a cherry pi for it the damn thing would work with ATT compatible sim cards.
NOPE. well, sure, you can SOMETIMES trick it to get onto the network, but it doesnt stick, its not fast, and theres no data.
WHAT A PAIN.
I want to sell this now, but Im not even confident it will work on international GSM networks, even though the sim is unlocked (and cid unlocked!)
i dont think ill ever buy a non-international phone again. Well, my one X+ att flavor worked out ok, but there are so few roms for it... oh well...

You might have to downgrade to an older version of android though, because when I tried it, it didn't work. I believe I was on viperone at the time of testing.

i am fully vested in bringing this model phone back from whatever hell its been through now. stayed up till 2am last night reverting this thing back to stock after it went through all the OTA updates. I am an HTC one m7-wls master now
i wont be home until tomorrow, but i will be trying the fix in that link. i really hope it works.... i made a crystal clear call yesterday before i lost the network, so i KNOW this phone can talk to the towers near me on H2O plan... i just have to get the stupid software right.

OK, so I am done.
Recap (without getting boring)
I did the sim unlock, and also the "fix". FINALLY got the phone to register on H20. And I do have data too, but its GSM only (very slow). The only way I got any of this to work is be fully 4.1.2 stock.
It is set to WCDMA preferred.
also, even though I did the "fix" it still loses the network after a reboot.
I am so done with this phone. I am updating it fully and throwing it on ebay. F this thing! No more sprint phones for me, thank you.
