Qualcomm Band Frequency Unlocking - Sprint HTC One (M8)

hi,
has anybody tried unlocking their phone for other band frequencies to work? i found threads on other phones equipped with qualcomm being able to do that, some were also able to do it on verizon m8.
i live in the philippines, and umts coverage is not so good, so i want to unlock some gsm / wcdma bands to get better covergage. unlocking lte bands would also be good.
tried unlocking wcdma bands, but after the unlock, my phone says i dont have a sim card, and i'm stuck at that.
thanks

Question about GSM Bands in Europe

I have a quick question regarding GSM bands.
I'm using the Bell i9000M (on 850/1900 band) right now, and planning on unlocking my phone and taking it to Spain for a vacation.
In Spain the GSM band they use is 900/1800. I know my phone is compatible with GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and HSDPA 900/1900/2100. Will my phone search for those bands and switch automatically when I put in a SIM card from Spain? Or is there something that I need to configure within the phone?
Thanks!

[Q] Radio Question

Hi,
I was about to buy this phone today, I put in my SIM card but could only get roaming, it would not see my home network, though the phone is unlocked. I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which uses the AWS 1700MHz band.
I noticed on gsmarena they show two 3G versions for this phone, one has 1700 the other 1900. My question is, do these two versions have different hardware or are they just programmed differently? Would I be able to activate the 1700 band if I flash the right baseband?
Thank you.
Different hardware, therefore not possible to hacktivate it for other frequencies.

Too bad, nice phone. Thanks!

Is this even possible? Flash AT&T RUU on the Verizon branded S6 Edge?

Is this even remotely possible? To RUU an AT&T official rom to the Verizon branded Edge?
I think I have this figured out and from what I have found.. locked bootloader will prevent this.. So that's that.. But I am having an issue with LTE.. I'm not getting LTE .. just HSPA or whatever it is.. H+ is displayed on my phone.. I know this should work in theory as my phone should support this..
AT&T states they run LTE on bands 2/4/17 ... The phone says it operates within LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz)
From AT&T itself .. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)

Question Difference Between Versions

Hello All,
I do often travel around the world. Thats the reason why i choose the OnePlus Nord CE model (the Website promote to support a lot of LTE Bands).
Now I read, that OnePlus disable some LTE Bands for the area outside you live.
I've the EB13BA (EU) model.
Which LTE Bands are supported with that model?
Is it possible to unlock the other Bands?
Will the install of the Global Firmware, unlock the LTE Bands?
Thank you an best regards.

A prepaid SIM such as "SIM2Fly", which is used temporarily when traveling, will probably work fine.
By the way, my "EB13AA" is
Gsm: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
Wcdma: v1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE-FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28/66
LTE-TDD: B38/39/40/41
The number of bands is very wide, so the question is probably whether you need "VoLTE" or not.
For Japanese carrier SIMs, many are "VoLTE", so this phone without it enabled will be a Wi-fi only device.
In fact I have been working on that problem for a very long time, and I was able to turn it on only when the OS was "11.0.1.1.EB13AA", but all later OSes were impossible.
There is a bias in the OS files available, and "11.0.1.1.EB13AA" is not currently available on the Internet.
hy, thank you for your reply. I downloaded the 11.0.1.1.EB13AA version on the OnePlus site. But im not sure if it will unlock other LTE Bands. As i say i have the European and not the Global version. Is there a diffrent between a travel SIM and a native SIM?

In most cases, a travel SIM can be plugged into a device to get a signal and use it.
I don't know the specifics of the SIM, but the travel SIM should cover the common LTE bands.
And
OnePlus will disable some LTE bands in the area outside where you live.
Even if this is true, it should not disable common LTE bands in the world, such as B3/B20.
This is mostly speculation, but I hope it helps.
If you are unsure, it is fun to flash globalROM boldly.
