HTC One M7 Radio Change According to Region. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody.
I tried many things from the other threads and tutorials but none of them worked for me. And now I am opening this thread so anyone could give me a light on this matter.
I have a HTC One M7 that I bought in Orlando, it was supposed to be the international version of the phone, but when I got to Brazil the phone only works 3G/HSPA or older tecnologies than that.
Reading the forums I found out that I can change the Radio version of it in order to properly work the 4G using Brazils LTE frequency.
At first it was a problem to gain S-OFF on it, since it was HBOOT 1.57 and stuff.
When I finally got S-OFF I proceded to change the Radio.
I download many Radios from different countries of which supposedly should be compatible with Brazils LTE Technology (Here LTE Frequency is 2600Mhz - Making Russia, India, Argentina and a few more countries compatible) and installed all of them.
None of the Radios I installed (via TWRP installer) did any change to the frequency it is using.
Does anyone know how I can really change it? Or if I am doing it right via TWRP installer.
Thanks for the help.

First s-off is not required to flash radio, only an unlocked bootloader. You can't change the frequencies of the M7, are you sure your variant support LTE? Post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno before posting).
As for your "what should I buy next" poll, I would suggest to ask in one of the dedicated thread for that. This is an HTC forum so (almost) everyone here are HTC' fan, everyone will tell you to get the M9

S-off is required to flash and use radios designed for other cid's. Band enablement is possible with some nvram magic IIRC. Search around on xda and there are a few how-to threads.

I always thought that the radio, boot and recovery partitions were not locked with s-on on the M7 unlike some other HTC devices hence why they can be flashed from a custom recovery.

Already read this somewhere too but never seen anyone did it on the M7. Anyway thanks for your comment, will try to find more info about this :good:

You might be right on the bands, now that I search it seems the guides are for m8. That said, it certainly "is" possible, someone would just need to research and document the correct values.

I am having trouble on geting the fastboot getvar all, since I updated my notebook and the drivers are not very good.
But here is the info on bootloader:

Well I guess you are using windows 8 or windows 10 or your notebook? These windows versions doesn't play nice with hboot 1.44/fastboot.
Anyway I can see from your bootloader info that your model is the M7_U which is equipped with the MSM8215 modem = No LTE radio. You'll only get 3G and HSPA+ with this variant.

Anyhow, regardless the S-On or S-Off I should be able to change the baseband.
When I install a new Radio the bootloader shows that it is another Radio Number.
I am starting to think that it might be ROM related, since it is not possible to select the baseband when I go to *#*#4636#*#*
It only shows Automatic or USA Band.

No its hardware related, the M7_U (unlike the M7_UL) is not equipped with an LTE modem.

Windows 10. Despite it works perfectly smooth and updates all the drivers automaticaly and fast. It lags when connecting something on USB. (at least for my notebook)

Wow! You solved the mistery real quick!
My only doubt is why would they sell a phone saying it is 4G LTE when it isn´t.
Unfortunatly I did not get the chance to test it in USA with a SimCard from a carrier from there.

The M7_U never was announced as an LTE phone from HTC, Its a GSM/HSPA variant
The M7_UL is the GMS/HSPA/LTE variant.

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ca/2013/03/htc-one-gsm-or-lte.html
Conclusion:
it won't be possible to switch it on/off in settings just like that. Enabling LTE on such units will be either not possible at all, or it will be possible by flashing M7_UL RUU to S-OFF device.

Flashing a M7_UL RUU will not enables LTE on M7_U, many of us already tried.

Then I think I bought by mistake, thinking it would be all the same!
Does the same happen to the M9?
I know the Iphone 6 works for all regions unlikly the iphone 5.
My mom bought on Iphone 6 in NY and brought it to Brazil and worked perfectly - 2G, 3G and 4G.

Your M7_U not working on LTE in your country isn't a region issue, If you had pick the M7_UL even if it was an European or US version it would have probably worked fine in your country as long as your carriers LTE bands are supported by the phone. M7_U simply doesn't have any LTE modem regardless of the carrier/region the phone will be used on.

I thought it would not work here.
The Iphone 5 bought in USA don´t work LTE here. And thoso bought here works normally.
I tought it would be the same for M7 and changing the Radio would make it work.
But now I understood that the M7_U is not LTE compatible regardless the region.

wrong RUU flashed

Some days ago I flashed the UK WWE ruu to my device to get ota updates, I am in south america and just realized that the radio for europe is not the same i use in my country. Now I have 2 questions: does this new ruu change the GSM frequencies?, right now my phone is RELOCKED and S-OFF with HBOOTH 1.54.0000, can I flash a new ruu? if so, what is needed.

what do you mean? Now your phone doesn't connect to your carrier antenna? I did the same thing of you, i was HTC_332 on .599 soft and switched to HTC_001 .401 soft and everything working fine, I can connect to HSPA and 3g networks here in canada

Yes you are s-off you can change your cid and mid to match any ruu for M7_U and M7_UL variant
You have a M7_U running a M7_UL rom. mayby you want to reinstall a M7_U RUU? Im not sure if it will solve your issue.
I'll says just wait for someone to confirm what ive said, im not sure.

Thanks for reply, I am having some issues with my 3g connection and though that the reason is because the frequencies for 3g in europe are 900 and 1800 Mhz; here in my country the carriers use 850 and 1900 Mhz; I am not really sure if that is the reason and don´t want to make any new change to my phone without confirmation; I am really happy with the current condition of my phone and haven´t have any problem runing an UL ruu on an U device

WCDMA / HSDPA / 3G not working

Dear community,
i'm writing on behalf of a friend who is owner of a rooted HTC One M7.
He has an issue with not being able to get more than an EDGE connection. WCDMA / HSDPA / 3G is not available at any time.
We tried to change radios/basebands, upgraded to latest 4.4 KitKat Viper, but no success.
The issue is not provider/sim card related, it works fine in other smartphones.
Any ideas ?

thats not the issue, its in auto mode. Selecting only WCDMA results in no mobile connection + not being able to call out and receive calls. Like the phone is "dead".

NO, nothing of all them. Phone was brand new. It is just when phone set to WDCMA mode. No internet connection + in/out calling not available.
When setting to automode, which turns to EDGE on normal GSM mode, everything fine. No issues.
Potentially corrupted IMEI/EFS/NV data information. Something similiar afflicted S3's a lot, but never heard of it happening on HTC One devices. How did it happen? Same also happened on HTC One S, if you ran the WWE RUU on North american RUUs.
Perhaps a side-effect of wrong MID? What is it?

If the phone is still under warranty, you might want to go in store to get a replacement one. Then if you tampered with the phone maybe you should try to go back to 100% stock and see if this issue persist. Don't know more about this sry.

Its the correct. M7_UL
Have you tried to S-off to be able to flash the latest firmware/radio of the 4.19?
Also, might be worthwhile to get another SIM from the carrier, even though the current one works in another device. The One is a picky but sexy lady!

Just a thought, but can you also check your APN settings, and possibly adjust/add one to them. the APNs the carrier send out automatically might now be the correct ones (that's in my case for example), and i've seen other users also have to change APNs manually to get better speeds and/or LTE.

oh and i just noticed the radio you're using is from US Dev Edition, try a WWE one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
the latest seems to be working quite fine.
Thank you all for the help. But we still didn't solve the issue.
What we have done now:
- We s-offed the device.
- We changed the CID to HTC___102
- We flashed an EU radio.
- We ran the latest EU ruu 2.18, after it OTA to 2.19.
At no point we had 3G/H network. Is there any possibility that the 3G modem is broken ? I googled quite a few hours but could nowhere find a similar problem like this.

2.18 then 2.19? shouldn't it be 2.24 for EU.
Still sounds like an APN issue to me.

APN settings are correct. No 3G/WCDMA with other sim cards as well. If we put put his daily use sim card in an Iphone it works flawless. (i think i mentioned that already^^)
I mean we can exclude an software problem now after having ran the RUU or ?

I purchased an M7 already bootloader unlocked and rooted off ebay. I then flashed an 4.4.2 Sense 5.0 flash from Insetcoin and all was well. Im with THREE UK for my mobile operator and when they upgraded to 4G all was still well. I was getting 4G and all was still well no matter which rom i flashed.
Then i read about this S-OFF business, i thought ok, lets S-OFF this phone as it was S-ON at the time. So i then S-OFF'd the M7 and at the same time i downloaded from XDA an update firmware and radio zip from a thread. I think at the time i was HBOOT 1.44 but i cant be certain and i have no idea what the radio was. Anyhow after that update i lost my 4G, no matter what rom i use, all i get is 3G, HSPA & HSPDA.
Is there anyone able to help me out at all to help me get my 4G back?
thanks.

Yes. Those instructions of what to do in dialer. Once you type that in dialer, go to phone information and scroll down to where you can change that option. It is under preferred network type.

Ok, done as per instructions. Still showing as 3G/HSPAP.
Only thing is i cant confirm area im in is 4G, even though Three coverage checker says it is. (im at work).
Can confirm it tomorrow morning when i get home where i know for sure 4G was working.
Gut feeling on the fix though is that it will still be the same.
Let me know if you have 4G when you move to a different area. Coverage maps aren't always reliable depending on a host of other factors. We can try flashing a newer or older radio if you are still having issues. Also. You should ask on the ROM thread for Insert Coin whether their is a ROM setting to change network preference settings. I know in some AOSP ROMS there are such settings.

Hi Mark
I went to another area to do my work, away from my office. It too is 4G enabled according to the coverage maps on THREE website. howerver all i got there was as im getting now 3G/HSPAP. I will wait till i finish work and get home and see if 4G flashes up on my screen.
How new/old is my current radio then? As for the Rom, im now using the latest Revolution rom by Mikey.
appreciate your helping me anyway. I have thought about resetting it to stock rom with one of the RUU's, but the confuion of trying to find a H3G RUU is stopping me.

been reading more and more posts with 3UK LTE issues, i think you may need to use 3UK firmware.

I think at the time i was HBOOT 1.44 but i cant be certain and i have no idea what the radio was. Anyhow after that update i lost my 4G, no matter what rom i use, all i get is 3G, HSPA & HSPDA.
Is there anyone able to help me out at all to help me get my 4G back?
thanks.

You should definitely try H3G's newest firmware or even just the radio. I noticed a huge improvement with their new firmware. WiFi, mobile signal and data much better.

Make sure to flash 5.11.771.3.zip here firtst though http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One/771/
You may need to change your cid. Or edit the android info.txt in the firmware.zips to flash them.

Looks like Danny will get you fixed up. I'd try just the radio first.
Ok so i have been home, and we are still at the 3G/HSPA stage, no 4G.
I will give the Danny solution a try and report back how we get on.
Appreciate all the help.

whats it say in your bootloader ?
post a fastboot getvar all
I don't think you can change a phone from m7_u to m7_ul
one has LTE the other does not

It is difficult to recommend any firmware without knowing your base version. It is also helpful knowing your hboot, OS, S-ON or S-OFF. Since you cannot post a getvar all, boot into bootloader and post the information on the bootloader screen.

If you can't get ADB to work your not gonna be able to flash the firmware. As you will have to flash it in fastboot. That simple change has no effect on network speed or type. I would check your apns and maybe try to make sure you have a good radio

Can you please give me firmware compatible for me? Why isn't that possible to change back? I'll give u a fact..I used to see H+ in some places when I was on ul. But I can only see H sign with m7 firmware. My main problem is I can't make outgoing call on Telenor carrier..But that's another problem.One problem at a time I really think changing radio can help me solve those problems. Can you help me pls?

I can not recommend any firmware to you because you have obscured any trace of what firmware was on or is on your phone. You have SuperCID so no way of knowing your CID. We don't know if you change or MID so it is a unknown. The version-main is missing as well. The best I can do is have you check out this Legacy Firmware Collection and if you find your old firmware there then download and flash.

[Q] How to Sim Unlock HTC ONE M8 5.01 lollipop Sprint

Hello everyone ,
I got a HTC one m8 (sprint) from US and I want to use it in Chile. It was previously android 4.4.4 and I updated to 5.01 lollipop (directly from the phone). I'll try to be clear.
My Target: Unlock the SIM and locked bands to use it in my network (movistar) witch works on 850 and 1900 Mhz Bands GSM. : (I now if it work on AT&T it will work for me also)
I saw several tutorials to sim unlock M8 Sprint running 4.4.4 but nothing with lollipop 5.01. Is it that possible nowdays? if is so, can you please provide the link?
If is it not, how can I come back to android 4.4.4 if I am S-ON? I tried RUU .exe files, but they didn't work.
I also try to S-OFF with sunshine and firewater but both fails (looks like they don't support android 5.01).
I tried to unlock the Bands with QPST but I can only see 800Mhz, 1900Mhz and US Bands to choose.
I have my phone rooted with TWRP.
I have spent a lot of days trying to do it by myself but I realize that I definetely need your help!
Please help me !

I tried another method and it work:
1.- I had to S-OFF my device with lastest Sunshine App Version 3.0.12 (you can get it fromHERE)
2.- Then I had to go back to the stock android kitkat rom 4.4.4 with a RUU ROM
"RUU_M8_WHL_K444_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.31.651.2_Radio_1.08.20.0916_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_403241_signed_2.exe"
3.- Just then I could unlock all the bands following the instructions HERE
I hope this can help someone else :good:

Did you lock the bootloader when you ran the RUU im contemplating doing the same im simlocked but unlocked via sunshine running a custom rom. I'm sure you did but to be sure, when you went back to 4.4.4 you had to run sunshine again correct?

When I had the RUU rom installed, everything was back to stock but my phone still was S-off (So you don't need to pay twice ).
Then you just have to follow the instructions HERE and you will have finally your sim unlocked.
When you finish, you can install any custom rom ( I tried BadBoyz and Viper) and everything will work fine :good:
I hope this can help you!
