The HTC One Max looks like a great phone, but I haven't seen any talk about a T-Mobile version.
Looking at the specs for the Verizon version, it looks like the 1700MHz band for LTE that T-Mobile uses is covered, along with the 1900MHz UMTS that T-Mobile uses in metro areas, and the 850MHz UMTS from AT&T (that I think T-Mobile can roam on from the failed buyout?). I'm finding the specs on various sites like PhoneArena and GSMArena
My question is, has anyone tried the Verizon version on the T-Mobile network to see if they can get 3G/4G connections?
Thanks
Im stressing to as it looks as I will reluctantly have to also buy a VERIZON htc One Max as I have heard no tmobile talks or solid leads and I Love HTC so any info about a tmobile Release would be appreciated thanks.
Ps
Forgot to mention for the last 3 days I have been seeing a htc.com tmobile One Max Link via Google but when I hit it im redirected to the Verizon Version but I know the link is Valid HTC link ????? Maybe there Prepairing a Tmobile One Max Page ??? Have a look just search ( tmobile htc one max ) and its the second one down ive been searching this for weeks and a few days a go about 4am is the first time I seen it thanks and please advise
I haven't seen any rumor about a TMo specific Max. My best educated guess is that because the Max has the same insides as the regular One (minus the wifi) that the cellular radio should act exactly the same. If the Verizon One can get everything you need on TMo then I would be willing to bet so would the Max. I am trying to catch the deal with TMo prepaid sims when they have them for free and if I get one soon I will test for you.
Im going overseas tomorrow so ill be inserting a gsm claro and orange sim in my vzw htc one max.. Ill post feedback
sent from my humongous VZW HTC ONE MAX
Any word on this? I have reg htc one on t mobile and max on Verizon. Want to try this also but want to flash Max with t mobile custom of some sort. Max doesn't require SIM unlock either you just change in settings and reboot with new SIM. May have to create apn but haven't tried yet so not sure?
I was able to get HSPA on claro GSM.
HTC One MAX
I dont know all the specific networks of all models but IF the sprint unlock method below works then could a sprint model work on T Mo ( or maybe ATT)?

i dont get that at all in my area haha i get max 2.8mbps
well let me tell you what i did to get the lte running on t-mobile
1. reset phone with the RUU rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587336
2. install twrp. load into recovery and install superuser. follow the instructions from the following link but DO NOT install the kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2550559
3. once twrp and superuser is installed, download and flash flykernel 2.0. / 4.4.2 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728103
4. install NuSenseSIX-KitKat_t6_RC3.0_050314.zip this one comes with its own blinkfeed/ sense 6.0. it already has the presets for t-mobile and they are locked. the moment you change your connection to global mode or any other, it will ask you to choose your carrier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5995
5. use and abuse your phone. 4g lte kinda uses your battery life a tiny bit more, so what im doing is
1. got app debloater for htc one max. simple google search will get you there
2. i got Htc one max clearROM as a back up. its only 700 to 1gb. really slim and fast.
3. switch from rom to rom depending on weather you want fast ass internet or long as battery life
xda has helped me alot so im just trying to help. i havent seen this solution anywhere else so i hope this helps people out there :laugh::victory:

You might want to say that you only need CDMAWS if you want to change your MSL, although since it is so easy to get the MSL with MSL Reader, you can probably skip that part. Great writeup though. Ive done a Moment and Vitality to PagePlus and the guide is the same, so this is an almost universal Guide.
On a side note: For the Moment and Vitality, MSL Reader does not work, I had to get the MSL by using getprop ril.MSL in Terminal.

Well I mentioned MSL Reader because its easier to use for new comers and it only works on the HTC phones which is what I'm flashing in this guide. If you use CMDAWS you just go to the security tab and under SPC click the drop down box and pick HTC Method. Then click read. Phone must be in DIAG mode though.
Any how I'll be making more guides. I can flash damn near any phone to any company except the Stratosphere.
Dial ##000000# and click edit mode.
Click MDN and enter your phone number, Press OK
Click on MSID/MIN and enter it if you know it, If not call your provider and ask them for it.

This part where im lost at, where exactly do I do all of this at? I dont see none of this in CDMA Workshop. I have version 3.8.0
Edit: Also Can I choose a phone number for the part where i use QPST & need to input *phone [email protected]*? The phone i got from ebay was a bad esn and I'm guessing the phone thats already on the phone still works.

In the very first tab with all the phone info. Should be right on top. It is probably labeled mdn and min. If that's what there labeled mdn will be your phone number and min will be msid or mobile identification number (sorry been a while since I used cdma workshop). Qpst doesn't have the option to change phone number itself. It will only allow you to change it for your data profiles. ##000000# or your six digit msl code will accomplish this step for you also.

Ok cool. another thingm I get an error during the last part where I write to the phone in QPST.
The error says NV_UE_IMEI_I (Status) NV_READONLY_S
Disregard that error it doesn't mean anything. You can actually check that box to not notify u of that again if it bothers you.
Let me know how this goes for you and do a speedtest for me if you can. My metro bill is due in a few days if speeds are good I will be making the switch.

The 3G speeds are very good. Remember this one thing PP uses VZW towers. Actually when I flash the Thunderbolts they get 1x and the 1x is pretty damned fast.
Have you flashed any EVO3Ds to Verizon? Assuming the ESN is accepted by Verizon's network of course.
-C
I've heard that Verizon phones get way better speeds on pp than sprint phones. I'm sure its probably just due to lack of provisioning on the parts of places that flash them. I definatly am intersted in tinkering with this. If someone with a EVO 3d on page plus or any sprint phone could do a speed test that would be great. Being on verizon network it should be at least 1mbps and up depending on area. Only reason I ask is cause u can get around 1mbps on boost witout any limit on data. But I don't use much mobile data but When I do I wouldn't mind it being fast. I could probably get away with the 1gb cap.
Just really wanna know the speeds.

Any phone can be flashed to PP and yes I have flashed the 3D numerous times to PP. I just got done doing one. When activating phones on PP always use the ESN(HEX) not the DEC because its too many characters. All Sprint phones that I have flashed always have a 14 character ESN(HEX) which is what you need for PP. If your ESN has 15 characters then drop off the last one digit. It will still activate without the last digit. Speaking of which the Thunderbolt is one that I know of that you have to drop the last digit on. Only one I can remember lol.
Hey! I saw this method and noticed it didn't involve device cloning and that it was for 3 phones.
I had to write about it.

i think it might be easier flashing a gsm radio on it
I don't think you need to deal with the gsm though, I believe the gsm services are locked in the states, even if you unlock it, it's simply not going to accept ATT or tmob
3g will work on the evdo rev A, wimax i'm not sure but 3g isn't that slow
Just wondering if you've already flashed or not I also want to get one for pp, but saw no instructions online. I only need voice, SMS and 3G going that's all

since you came from a 4s you need to go to att store and get a new sim card. the sim card that's in a 4s is not compatible with LTE since the 4s is not LTE. I'm assuming you put the 4s sim card in your ONE x+. the sim card should be free .
Well I did get a message from att stating I need to change my data plan. The SIM card is the exact same as iPhone 4s. But I do not get lte with it. I just would like to know if there is a workaround as there is with the hotspot

Sorry I didn't get back sooner and see the reply.
On the same screen where you saw the phone apn, you should be able to add another one for PTA.
That said I don't know for certain if that will work and you may ultimately have to call at&t customer service and have them adjust your plan and they'll most likely want the IMEI of the new device...

Thank you. I figured out how to add the APN for PTA, but it would not connect to it. I guess it will just require a data plan change which i am not willing to do.

Switching plans on AT&T should not be an issue.
If you have the unlimited iPhone data plan AT&T will switch it to the LTE Smartphone Unlimited Data without any issue. For some reason AT&T keeps their iphone data plans and other smartphone data plans seperate. I originally had an iphone 3gs and swithced to an Android (Atrix 2) and they moved me from iphone data unlimited to smartphone unlimited data with no problem. Then when I got the One X+ they upgraded it to LTE Smartphone unlimited data.

Thanks Greg but what will happen when I move back to iPhone 5s next year. Will I still have the grandfathered iPhone unlimited data plan?

Who knows. Att could change anything from now until then, I would update to lte now and enjoy it while you can. What if Att changes their mind on
You need an LTE SIM first. If you get one and have the correct APN settings for AT&T LTE it might work. Changing your data plan would be the last step.
Lack of LTE DRIVING ME NUTS!
So, I just switched from my iPhone 5s to an OPO. So far, it is great. But I can't get LTE!!!! It's driving me nuts that I cant figure it out. My iPhone had it, so I know my sim card should be good. (I used double sided tape so it would not move when I put it in the phone) The sim card had been registered already on the LTE network. I called and had them switch the IMEI to the OPO IMEI, but LTE didn't work before or after. My APN settings are all good, and I have a data plan that allows LTE.
So I am at a loss why I shouldn't be getting it. All I get is H+.
Anyone have any other ideas? I have the international version, so it can't be that either... DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!

Forgive my noobness that is about to come out... But how do I know which I have? I thought there was only a Chinese and an International version... My phone does say LTE on the back, and the model is a0001 (which I think they all are)
When I google it, I only get results for the HTC One X+

go into bootloader, if it say's enrc2b_u or simular then no LTE.
Do you mean the X+ S728e?

Will this phone work in Singapore? Looking at the frequencies, it seems like it should.
I'm running CM10.1
While in singapore, I tried turning the phone on and it would not get a signal.
I tried the different "Preferred Network Mode" options but no help.
Might this be because I needed to get a SIM card in singapore and install it?
Would I need to call up verizon and get it "unlocked" before I can do this?

I believe the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is not carrier locked, so you shouldn't have to get it unlocked before you can use a different SIM.

You mean the change to build.prop?
I wasn't sure if that was needed with another SIM.
Also I wasn't sure if the freq is supported.

Hi guys,
I spent a lot of time trying to do this and would like to share my SUCCESSFUL efforts with you all!
First let me clarify some of the terminology. Sprint and other carriers program their hardware EPROM to their network specs and lock access to it. This lock is called the MSL code!!! [Master Software Lock?? ]. You would need this code if you want to make any changes to it.
Electronically Programmable Non Volatile (ie a fixed value chip)ROM which is also called NV Rom (NV in short) is where the carrier customization are stored and read from when the phone boots up. The unlock process changes the carrier data to be read from a SIM card instead of from programmed NV. Also note that CDMA or GSM SIMs are actually called RUIMs in the tech world (<--Wiki this). Something I learnt the hard way...
Second, this is not rom flashing (i.e putting another OS on your phone's SSD card and updating the boot records). You will be programming the phone and if you mess up mommy wouldn't be able to help you . There would be noway to unbrick your phone so check your USB cable (most common culprit) virus scanners running on your PC etc etc.. before you try this.
Please thank Vinod Nayak at Rimweb for putting this all together for us. I am in Tokyo and have followed these guides to successfully unlock my Sprint LS990 to work on AU by KDDI (albeit only with 3G speed). So if you are still reading get a cup of coffee and head on to the sites below and read on. Please note you may need to register on their forum to see the screen caps (recommended).
You need the MSL code to reprogram your phone. Follow this guide to obtain it first and keep handy.
http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37104-lg-g3-sprint-ls990-cdmagsm/
There were other guides found on XDA that will find your phone's MSL code. Once you have this go to the next step below..
General guide on how to Root your G3 and convert it from Sprint NV to any RUIM (SIM)
http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/3...uim-in-any-cdma-phone-using-dfs-free-version/
Let me know if it worked for you!! Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you all!!
UPDATE:
I updated to CM12 based ROM 10 mins back and data works without any APN setting!!!
so...???
So, this will allow me to take my Sprint LS990 to Verizon?
If you get a sim/ruim from VZ I think you should me able to. Try it and share your experience.....
If I do this will my Sprint service stop working until I change back to NV_Only?
You can select RUIM Preffered setting instead of ruim only. That should allow the phone to default back when a ruim is not present in the slot. This is what I actually did.

This seems to be the closest thing we have to a proper carrier unlock, especially if the RUIM preferred option sticks and allows continued function on Sprint (if desired). There's a thread in another form (can't remember where) that has a method for unlocking all the phones radio bands. These 2 things combined could make a true world phone, increasing the dollar value and function.
I jacked around with DFS on my old LGOG with an embedded SIM and no bootloops, although RUIM preferred wouldn't stick, it gave me a chance to look around. Has anyone successfully unlocked their G3 to use a SIM or any CDMA carrier with this method?
I'm not ready to pull the trigger on it but am thinking about picking up a used G2 to mess around with and see what I can do.

So with this method we will be able to flash any ls990 ROM and still have data?

It's still an LS990 at the end of the day so I think there needs to be some built in ROM compatibility.

I don't know about that. I think you're looking for a corporate PRL which allows faster speeds when roaming. I'm looking for someone who is in the US and still on Sprint but tested the RUIM preferred method with other SIMs and back to Sprint domestically to see if it works forward and backwards.

Anyone who is currently on Sprint try the RUIM PREFERRED setup? Curious if we can just go ahead and set it up and swap SIMS from Sprint to other at our leisure.

I'm wanting to try this with Ting (since it's BYOD blacklisted until August), but I'm curious about the "only 3G" issue the OP had. It wouldn't be so bad, but it would be nice to be able to revert back once August rolls around to get on the 4G. So my question is:
- Does this process change things that can be backed up / undone? (I'm guessing not, but would love to be wrong)
Incidentally, Ting is rolling out GSM support as we speak, so I may try to go that route first, though I think I might only get Edge speeds...

3G issues (LTE not working) might have something to do with the bands. Unlocking more radio bands on the qual comm is another process that is documented in other forums. Very detailed and you don't want to mess up.

Interesting, thanks for the tip. It does look a bit scary, haha -- we'll see if I get to that point. I posted a question on the forum the OP was referencing about the possibility of undoing / reverting to a backup after doing that process. I'll post here if I find out elsewhere.

I've got everything working on the stock rom using this method with my AT&T sim. (However, I have RUIM only enabled) But I can't seem to get cm12 working. Radio acts like it wants to work, but it's very slow with sms, and the dialer doesn't work at all.
I have my "Preferred network type" set to "Global." I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how you have CM12 working. Also, I've tried a couple other compatible ROMs. Do you have any other information on what you did to get it working?
Reviving an old thread....
On the link to unlocking most of the images to help out are no longer valid. Can someone help out with getting through the process?
I have a Motorola moto G XT1031 CDMA phone. I am trying to unlock it myself with the unlock code. If you have any information that would help, can you please respond ASAP, please.
