really, since you are s-off, you can follow any guide on CID unlock. its a simple cmd line to do it through fastboot.

If you're talking about doing SuperCID and flashing a GSM ROM, it won't work due to Sprint being a CDMA device. However you can GSM unlock your device and use Virgin Mobile, provided the frequencies match (2G will work for sure).

What does virgin mobile use as far as bandwidth?

My m7 os already unlocked and works for sure on t-mobile I have my SIM in as we speak but only works in 3g which my service was on Sprint so I honestly don't mind 3g speeds lol.
But it's to expensive for my liking and virgin mobile is cheaper any help guide etc?

AFAIK, there isn't any method to flash it. I asked how to flash it to Verizon and I got told it can't be done, so I think you're out of luck mate :/.

Using roms of HTC One forum on carrier unlocked Verizon model HTC One M7VZW

I have a sim unlocked Verizon HTC One which i have been using in India (Mumbai) for quite a long time now(it's dual-band CDMA/GSM). the phone is S-off and rooted from verizon htxc one forum. My question is whether could i flash other roms / kernels present in this forum on my device?
if yes should i flash some firmware in RUU before installing the ROM? Also which twrp recovery should i use verizon one or international one?

Unlocking M9 phone from T-Mobile?

I have a question and could find an answer, well maybe a few... First if you have an unlocked version of the m9 directly brought from HTC all updates come from them not any carriers? With that being said if you by a T-Mobile version and get an unlock code from them will updates still come from them or HTC?

Unlocking phone has nothing do with updates. If you have T-Mobile version doesn't matter if it's Sim locked or unlocked, updates still come from T-Mobile. If you want updates from HTC you have to buy the unlocked model or Dev edition directly from HTC site.

You can always use the SunShine app and change your device to any model you want.. including the developer edition and then you will get updates straight from HTC.

Thanks might just do that...is it an easy process?

hi can the T-Mobile Version be unlocked/Rooted?
hi i have an HTC M9 from T-mobile, i was checking the boot loader but it doesn't have the fast boot option, I've played around and i noticed that in download mode the fast boot command worked. so. i was wondering it can be unlocked or if T-mobile Locked it like the Xperia Z1s.
i watched a video on how to root it on "any variant" but theirs have been unlocked, i think they have Developers edition but now im wondering if its just mine that is locked.

yes can verify.. you can sim unlock device. travel a lot so need to be able to pop in a telcel chip. only snag is you need to flash a non-tmobile base rom first, Then it will ask for unlock sim code and your set. can leave it on non-tmobile base rom or like me reflash tmobile rom and your set. hope that helps

When you say a non tmobile base do you mean flash a custom rom onto the device? Thanks

Yes, sunshine will s-off your device. That will allow you to change cid and mid and turn your device into a dev edition or any other M9 released. Just note the radio/modem of your phone won't change. It won't gain support for other bands, but some may be disabled depending on the RUU you flash.

[Q] Converting Verizon HTC One into an International Unbranded HTC One

Hello!
I was just curious about this stuff. Most of the people I asked said that the Verizon variant has a different partition layout compared to the AT&T and all the other variants. But, I was looking around the forum and one guy said this...
alray said:
Only phones with MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL) can be converted to other variants having MID starting with PN071 (GSM M7_U or M7_UL).
For example, you can convert a WWE GSM variant (PN0710000) to a Dev edition GSM variant (PN0712000)
You can't convert a Sprint CDMA variant (PN0720000) to a GSM variant (PN071XXXX)
Afaik, (I might be wrong, confirm if your partition table is the same)You can't (?) convert a Verizon CDMA variant (PN0731000) to a T-MOB GSM variant (PN0713000)
Afaik, MIDs not having the same 3rd digit have different partition layout and different hardware. Make sure before proceeding.
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------
Ok, it looks like Verizon variant have the same partition layout as the GSM variant
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416038
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317621
So you should be fine changing your MID from PN0731000 to any PN071 MID and flashing a RUU.
But you will probably not have LTE because flashing RUU doesnt change frequency bands.

So does that mean I can convert my Verizon HTC One (M7) to an international M7 without any problems? I am not using a Verizon sim card so I do not need CDMA networks or whatever. If this is possible, will the process be the same as converting an unbranded One to the Developer Edition? I believe converting my Verizon One to the international one will also allow me to test out the ROMs available for it, correct me if I'm wrong.
P.S. I am S-OFF'ed with HBOOT 1.57
CID: VZW_001
MainVer: 5.28.605.2
This is an annoying question for some of you people, I know. But, Thanks!

The Verizon variant does have the same partitions layout than the UL variant, however a Verizon variant can't be converted to a UL variant.

@alray , I know u know a hell of a lot about the m7, but I gotta double check and ask just to make sure I'm reading this correctly; youre saying the Verizon variant of the M7 has the SAME partition layout as the UL M7?
I only ask because I own a Verizon M7, (love this phone) , and I've yet to try flashing S.Rom ONLY because Ive been told by many ppl in the M7 S.Rom thread that it will brick Verizon devices because of the partition layout "being different" according to them. (i know there will be data connectivity issues as it is a GSM rom and my device is a CDMA device, however that's not whAt I'm concerned about) , I just never flashed it as I was scared it would write things to the wrong partitions...

The Sprint one does have a different partition layout as opposed to the Verizon variant which is the same layout as the UL variant. Check the links in the quote at post #1. We already tried to convert in another thread, the ruu flashed fine and nothing flashed on the wrong partition but it wasn't booting correctly because of the CDMA radio

What ROMs do I use for HTC One M7 Telus?

I'm on the Canadian variant, Telus. What forum section should I be in and is it safe to flash AT&T files as I remember with my S3 I could flash AT&T files even though I was Telus.

Telus M7 is a GSM variant (M7_UL) so you can flash every custom rom for (M7_UL) you find here in the GSM M7 forum. You can also flash roms for the M7_U variant but wouldn't recommend doing it as it will disable LTE.

I have flashed a lot of ROMs from this forum for my Rogers M7, which is basically the same as yours.

Which ROMs have you flashed?

I have flashed Skydragon Google Play Edition by Holy Angel. I also have flashed ROMs by artur0588 and Mike 1986. These are just a few that I have had great success with. There are so many good ones here.

If you have unlocked bootloader, s-off, cid 1111111, and twrp. You can flash and test any rom you like.

He doesn't need s-off nor supercid to flash any GSM roms.
An unlocked bootloader and the correct custom recovery version is all he need.
S-OFF is only needed if he want to convert its Telus phone to another Variant e.g Convert from official Telus software and firmware to official Rogers software and firmware or if he want to downgrade to an older version version.
@karmasblade
Telus M7 is M7_UL = the most common M7 model (GSM + LTE) that almost everyone have here. All roms made for GSM variant (M7_UL) will work on Telus M7. Just don't forget other requirements: some roms requires a specific custom recovery version to be flashed and also requires the latest firmware to be installed on your phone, in your case latest Telus Firmware is 7.17.661.7.
You can see what your firmware is by using this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Version-main string is your firmware version.
