TMO HTC One converted to GPe, LTE question - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

hello,
I converted my tmobile htc one into a google play edition a few days ago and for the most part i have no complaints. however, a few days ago i noticed that i wasnt able to pick up an lte signal. I'm not sure what is going on here. I'm on the southern california area(riverside) is the lte down or something. it was working perfectly a few days after i converted my one to the GPe so i don't think this could be a problem. I was thinking of running an RUU back to stock to try and see but i dont know what to do. Any ideas??

Do you still have the T-Mobile radio, or is it now switched to the GP radio firmware?

i believe it is the GP radio the reads 4A.18.3263.15_10.38h.1157.04L

I'm on that same radio and my LTE works.

did you convert your htc one to a GPe? i have done everything but a reset which i might do. it also might be the signal might be down in my area. i had this problem happen before earlier in the year with my note 2 i didn't have lte yet but i didn't have any hspa service for two days so it could be that but since i converted my one i hope its not something hardware related

Good question. Though I'd give a t-mo radio flash a try. It's easy enough to flash back.

yeah i suppose so. as of the moment i'm not rooted or anything. I'm however still S-OFF. Would I have to install a custom recovery and then flash the tmobile radio?

You should be able to fast boot it. I'd look for a good guide in the HTC One international forums.
I'm rooted w custom recovery, so it's a bit easier for me.

alright i will attempt this later tonight. thanks for the help and i will update with whatever happens.
Update: So i just went to Target which is about 6 miles from my house and I got LTE just fine so maybe it might be just a tower by my area that isn't working. I might just wait this out then idk i might flash the radio and see what happens

I'm sorry if this is irrelevant, but can you please point me in the direction of the thread where you learned to do that. I want to try it out, but I've been getting confused. Hopefully yours is a bit simpler.

I would just enjoy the phone for now and wait. There is confirmation on unlocking the boot and getting root if this is true which it seems to be there is not much we can do with it until our devs start cooking home made goodies. The only reason I would be anxious to root is for tethering but there are apps that will give you tether without rooting in the play store.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
Yea, I'm unlocked and rooted. I wanna flash something !!!! Lol

I'm 99% sure it will work. 100% of the internals are the same except for the bands on the radio, which are just a matter of changing the APN. Go ahead and do it for us
Report back on what happens!

According to this thread here they have the same product model code. I don't see why you couldn't. Though I understand you don't want to ruin the device so soon being the first to try on the AT&T variant.

Yes. People on AT&T have flashed international roms no problems and it looks like the same for T-Mobile.
Does anyone know if you can flash a ROM from another network being that the phones are virtually identical with the exception of the radios. I am coming from Sprint and loved ViperRom but sadly he is staying with Sprint. I wonder if it would work or would I be looking at a brick if I tried.
It'll brick your phone hard. I came from the evo 4G lte. Viper roms were great but until he comes over or someone ports his roms we're out of luck.
Though a good thing is deck had already moved over to the one so cm10.1 shouldn't be too far away

oh **** i thought you were talking about flashing a viper rom on the ONE haha.
why would you want the international version of the rom on tmobile? bloat? i already got rid of my bloat with TI backup and i get to keep my wifi calling so i dont see that need for that.. sorry not trying to be mean just wondering..

I guess more customization. I want to change the button presses from tap to go home to bring up menu hold to take me home and leave double tap on for recent.. I know it's possible..

Unless it is AOSP based roms all of them will be similar with few tweaks and options. The main advantage is having the latest ruu since carriers take forever.

T-Mobile ROMs

It looks like there aren't any ROMs based on the T-Mobile formware on any of the forums. Are y'all getting the same data speeds on the international ROMs? Is there a tmobile radio to flash?
You should be able to flash any in the HTC One Forum. Our device is the M7 so you should have no issues. Only problems some people have been seeing is from ATT so far with roms that don't have the proper RIl files and this is believed to cause the radio to switch from E, H, and LTE chronically.

thanks, i wasnt sure if our device was M7 or not.
stupid question, but does flashing the roms on the international one forum **** up the radio?
Only if the ROM includes the radio. As far as I know, no one is including radios in their ROM's. I would personally hold off flashing any radio until we get a flashable zip, RUU, or other means to go back to the shipped radio. Some users are having issues with the WWE radio on Tmobile and ATT. Some may think it's just the rill files too.

Yah that's the one bummer about non T-Mobile ROMs. It's impossible to get WiFi calling working. Has to be a T-Mobile based ROM.

It's the same thing after you unlock the boot loader and have a custom recovery
The only thing is you have to flash the kernel manually

I mean, the "you can sort of unlock the bootloader but you can't have S-OFF" is obnoxious but it isn't any easier to bring your phone--if anything, the limitations placed on operations done in recovery make it harder to actually brick your phone since the boot and recovery images are normally flashed in fastboot.
But yeah, Nexus phones are much kinder to tinkerers. News at 11.

Yeah, that's what I did too. Only mildly sad to give up wifi calling; I never go over on minutes anyway.
Can't wait until there's T-mo specific roms. I get absolutely crap reception in my apartment and NO reception at work, so i desperately need wifi calling.
What we need is a good all around android dev /Rom chef to dedicate there time to our branded HTC one.
I hope Roms aren't gonna be generic forever leaving us with partially set up Roms/ having to flash radios constantly and whatnot !Never knowing what's compatible and what's not .
If that's the case I foresee a lot of angry people and jtag sales in the future .
I'd give it a month or two before we have a few 2-4 dedicated tmo HTC one roms 100% ready to flash and go just for us only .

Verizon XLte going online

I'm surprised no one has posted this here... but I thought it was interesting!!
http://www.verizonwireless.com/news/article/2014/05/verizon-wireless-xlte.html
Our Lg G2's are compatible per this website as well...
I haven't seen any increase in my area yet (greenville, sc) even though it's listed on verizon's site as one of the initial cities. Anyone else noticed a difference in their dl speed?
I just got off the phone w/ a verizon rep who said that there is nothing we have to do... a software update will be pushed to the phone. I am assuming this won't be the case for those of us who have a custom rooted device so it will be up to our devs!

More than likely just an updated modem...shouldn't take devs very long to make a rec flash version
Odd. The article was written well over a month ago and I'm just seeing/hearing about it now. So it's as if we're already benefiting from it, yet I haven't heard any dev mention anything about it or about including it in their rom. Maybe there is nothing for them to update, no?

Pretty much this. As long as you have at least the 12b modem that is all you need. Its been active in the NYC area for months now.

LTE problem After 4.4.4 Dev. update

I have AT&T branded M8. It is converted to Dev. Edition since 4.4.2. Everythink was working fine until I accepted update 4.4.4 last night. My getting connected with LTE signal with full bar but when I go to browse internet, It takes forever. I just flash at&t 4.4.2 RUU and everything works like charm but as soon as I flash Dev edition, LTE does not work. I am using "RUU_M8_UL_K444_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.28.1540.5_Radio_1.21.21331147A1.19_2G_20.63.4196.01_release_394319_signed_2" RUU file for Dev edition.
Thanks.
Try it again but flash the radio that works best for you afterwards
I converted my AT&T HTC M8 to Developer Edition last night and I also have issues with LTE. I mean it works jus like pics on Facebook take forever to load. Ebay takes forever to load pics also. But I'm gonna see if It's safe to Flash the radio that I had b4 converting.

I think its the configs for ATT LTE are not right, did you run a speed test before and after? Changing radio I do not believe will helo as it is made for the ATT US Market

More than I ,I hope .
Why do we have a Radio collection for different Models/CID if flashing them makes no difference ?
Could it be simply placebo ?
As it seems with the M8, the radios were pretty much the same with 4.4.4(same version numbers), the differences were with the software. The euro and developer builds had same version build numbers but the configs and software were the contributing dif's and what were causing the issues with ATT users and the new LTE configs being used by ATT.

If I find a good one would you consider using one ?
I having same problem as OP I flashed different radios and made no difference. So I was like, I'll jus reconvert it back to AT&T but I wiped and restored a back up that I had b4 the conversion 4.4.3 and now LTE is working like it should. Internet loads instantly in the browsers.. So if it keeps working good after a couple of days then I'll just keep this backup..
