Sprint GSM Rom for Unlocked Sprin Htc One

I recently unlocked my sprint htc one and im trying to use it on tmobile, everything works, i even get 3g data but the big problem is that the network settings doesnt automatically choose the tmobile network and it disconnects way, way to often, when it disconnects i have to manually search for the network every time as it wont select it automatically. I think that whats needed is a Sprint gsm rom for it to work as it should or maybe a flashable patch. if anybody has the knowledge, i would appreciate it. big thanks!!!

The print htc one is a world phone, just like they make roms for the rezound from verizon, which is a world phone as well or the droid 3 global, they make botch cdma roms and gsm roms. So now we need a gsm compatible rom.

How did you even unlock it for domestic use?

Even if you are able to use it with tmobile, go to settings ->Mobile Data -> Network Mode and choose GSM/UMTS only

tryed that

Don't flash any Rom unless it's sprint compatible. Intl/other carrier roms have different mount points and will make your phone reboot/drop service with only fix being RUUing

Absolutely not. That's your one-way ticket to RUU-hell land. It's not just differences in the kernel, but also in how the internal storage is partitioned. I'm pretty surprised that even with GSM/UMTS you're having trouble. Anyone know if the stock PRL for the Sprint ROM might be interfering (i.e. the phone is trying to search for one of Verizon's CDMA towers first)?

If anyone wants, just send me the updater-script from a GSM ROM, and I will change the mount points to be for Sprint. Like that you can flash the GSM rom. However, I would like to know if there is anyone brave enough (with S-Off) to flash the firmware bits of the GSM phones (radio, adsp, rpm, and maybe the sbl*; not the bootloader and recovery).
The radio.img is the most dangerous thing... But I think getting the GSM f/w on the GSM-unlocked Sprint phone will be a good thing. Unless, anyone knows that the radios are different? I know the mount points are different, but does anyone have any info on the firmware itself?
Anyway, just let me know if you wanna try to flash a GSM rom, I will update the mount points for you.

I was playing around with qpst and on service programming on the umts tab system there is an option "preceded network selection" and is set to limited, I try changing it but it won't let me write to phone, I think that's what sprint did to limit connection of gsm in USA

ill try it

SimLock Solution For All 4.3 users

Hello to you all
I would like to show all of you 4.3 users the solution "elvisypi" gave me in my private mail and finally i succeed to unlock my device.
So all of us know that sprint or google changed the way HtcOMADM works and we can't use the original system for unlocking our device.
So here is the solution that "elvisypi" gave me :
1. Download the "Stock with goodies 4.3 ROM". Don't flash it wet. (link : http://www.mediafire.com/?9y21d2wlszh6d6c )
2, With an archive viewer like winzip open the ROM.zip and go to /system/app
3. replace 2 apps which I have attached: HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk and HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk. Just drag and drop and replace.
4. Finally flash the ROM.
5. Install the HTCOneSIMUnlockHelper and follow the onscreen instructions.
This system works 100% and this way you can be on 4.3 rom and still have an unlock GSM sprint device.
again , many thanks to "elvisypi" for his great support

sim unlock
Hope it does
downloading....

Would this work with other ROMs like insercoin?

I've followed your directions, using the ROM you provided (only difference being flashing the root-fix) and I get vDM errors every time I boot and the app says it's unlocked but my Tmobile SIM gets no signal. Is there any other way i can check if my phone's unlocked?

It didnt work for me?
I did exactly what you said an When the phone starts up it says unfortunately ui has stop working an it keeps popping up an i cant do anything with my phone

Thank you for this already pressed the Thank you button also
i was getting annoyed that i couldnt find the files before i found this thread

HTC ONE
I did everthing s-off....flashed to the old radio baseband....tried everything still havent got any signal....who know what a problem?
The only thing is that I've flashed my sprint htc one to the Straight talk. Could it cause a problem?

I am also trying to unlock for T-Mobile. Running into the same issues as others. I was reading a thread where someone was apparently using it on T-Mobile, and PMed them on how exactly they did it but never got a response.
Would love to hear if anyone has it working on T-Mobile

This works. :victory:
Only need to extract, modify and zip again.
Flash with TWRP.
And everything is working normally, no need to reinstall or root, or whatever.
The only problem is that every time I turn on the phone, I get the error message VDM, but it disappears instantly, without stopping or forcing any application.
I live outside the U.S., and continues to operate all perfect with SIMUnlockerHelper. :fingers-crossed:
My device: Sprint Htc one = Unlockboot, TWRP, SIMUnlocker Helper, Root, and the rom on the top of the post. (benny's 4.3 LOL)

it actually works, but if you're using a sense rom I think you only need to download the apps in the op and replacing in system/app
I did this with insertcoin 6.0-4, the unlock helper app didn't recognize the rom, but with the terminal emulator method it worked just fine, tried with a sim and all fine ... then put again the original apks and you don't have to deal with any error popups

Interesting. I was under the impression that our version of this device did not support domestic (only international) GSM bands, hardware wise.
Is this version of sim unlocking different than what you would get if you asked Sprint? (they do allow you to unlock it if you meet certain criteria, like good account standing)

it supports the bands, but all the radios except the original one block domestic gsm carriers. if you still unlock and use that radio, it'll work.

Not working
I tried everything mentioned above, ( Unlock bootloader, S-OFF, Root) also changed the 2 apps in the system for the 4.3 ROM Stock rooted deodexed and then used the SIM unlock helper.
Then Got the same result : No GSM signal, and the SPRINT logo still on the top when I make a call, the same answer comes: " Error number 16 script 3."
I'm using Straight Talk Sim by ATT.

Are your speeds any slower? I think some carriers call different things 4G, so with a non carrier specific ROM, you get a different graphic.
I think there's a way of changing it in the build prop.

GT I9305 on Omni rom not recognizing UMTS sim cards

Long time omnirom user here with an issue I cannot find a fix for.
In my country there's a cell operator called RCS-RDS that has always had very good rates and unlimited 3g internet but, up until recently, very bad coverage. I have used 2 sim cards from this operator whenever I was in their coverage area for years now without a problem.
Last month RDS, has signed a national roaming agreement with VODAFONE so that you can use their network for service whenever you're outside RDS's coverage area. To use this national roaming service however, I had to replace the sim cards I had from RDS with new ones which, they say, operate in the UMTS 2100 band. I've checked the I9305's specs, and that band should be supported without a hitch.
Problem is however, that if I try to use either of the 2 sim cards, the phone gives me a no sim card error message and will behave as if there's no sim in the phone.
I'm using the radio recommended by mccamblesmith, the I9305 omni rom developer, in the omni rom development thread, and I have tried flashing every radio I could find, from the newest 4.4 radios to some very old 4.3 ones, but no change, and I've tested the two sim cards on other phones, including an S4, a beat up old Allview, an even older and more beat up Huawei U1220 and a 3G USB dongle, and both sims worked flawlessly on all of those.
I've also tried getting help on omnirom's irc channel, but the place is dead.

i understand the issue here, but dont know how to fix it easiest way without loosing all your data and personal stuff etc.
it seems the issue is not modem related but i think its related with the roms settings you applied but dont know what exactly. all i can say is make a nandroid backup to external sd of current rom and flash back your official stock firmware with odin, root and install recovery and flash omni again, then try the sim cards again. if it does not work you can always restore the nandroid backup from recovery.
i hope this helps

better to contact them and ask which APN you should use if more than 1 is available.
also check that your preferred network type is set to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto"
or maybe you'll have to flash another radio
