Hi. I was wondering if my phone was CDMA or GSM. When I take a look in my settings there's a CL in my build number, which means it's supposed to be a CDMA desire but, after a lot of research on google, I found that devices with a sim card are supposed to be GSM, I already tried my older phone, a Galaxy Nexus Maguro (GSM) and it was working on this network... I'm kinda lost right now.. Am I supposed to have a UL version? I don't wanna flash a rom or something not made for my network!
I'm with Virgin Mobile in Canada, which is the same network as Bell Canada.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: In the HBoot, its written ZARA_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL in the 1st line.. so It's a UL with a CL firmware? the f***!
EDIT 2: With the application Network Info, It's written Phone Type GSM.. So it looks like it's finally a GSM but why the heck I'm running on a CL firmware?

The CL (CDMA) has a sim card, so that's no help for you.

Hy guys i have a big problem and i need advice. i was using some rom ics with 3.6 sense and today it start boot loop then i decided to test this
Team Venom presents: Viper3D 1.0.0 Nightly welcome to the future. installation went great but the problem started there. it can not find any network. i tried full wipe of everything but its the same. it does not let me update radio anymore. everything else works. IT revolutionary shooter_u Xa shio s-off RL, hboot- 1.49.1107, radio - 11.25.3504.06_M, cid is HTC__001
and i am using gsm version
Your cid is HTC_001 right? Well that means your unbranded right? Well that could be the problem. If your not branded with a carrier your not going to get a mobile signal. There's nothing wrong with your phone bro. Since your radios are up-to-date of course it won't let you upgrade. Suggestion: brand your phone to get a mobile network. Hope that helps you.

i will try. how to do that?
That depends on what mobile carriers are in your region. Whichever one you chose, you will have to find the right stock ruu with the carrier you want service from. For instance, If you want Vodafone service you would get a shooterru ics Vodafone (with matching radios) ruu file and flash it through your bootloader. Now please make sure you find the correct one or else you will brick your phone. Now, to verify you are on Vodafone check your cid which should say voda_001 or something like that. Note this was hypothetical scenerio and used as an example. But you get my point. After you find your appropriate ruu and flash it. Call the mobile carrier and ask to activate an account with them to get your phone activated. Just remember that I nor nobody else is responsible if you turn your phone into a expensive paperweight.

i understand but the problem is to find correct cid of this network and the orginal is probably changed. It Vipnet Croatia part of A1. Do you have a suggestion where to look?
Ok after much research, I have reached a deadend. So, let me ask you this, is your cid still HTC_001? Does Vodafone own vipnet? If so, maybe flash a Vodafone cid might work for you? I'll try to keep looking, in the meantime is there anybody you know that has vipnet on their evo 3d that can tell you what their cid is?
last i checked (a couple years ago) vipnet was owned by vodaphone.
he's s-off and should have absolutely no problem downgrading his radio, so this is rather puzzling
also I don't think CID should have any effect on his signal
my best guess would be that since viper3D is sense 4.0 based it doesn't play nice with some aspects of the phone, try flashing another rom/kernel maybe, bottom line if i'm wrong you rule those two out,
hope this helps
Ok just checking because he was asking to write a vipnet cid to his phone and after looking through google I came into that conclusion that he could probably brand his phone with Vodafone. I'm pretty sure there was nothing wrong with his phone just needed a mobile carrier to have an active data signal. Thanks for helping me help him.
Have you tried using a custom apn? In other words: setting up the apn yourself? Had the same problem, i live in holland thoufh

Just to clear things up, when you say no mobile network, you mean no internet, or can you not call or text either?

Seriously, we are trying to help you. Your radios have nothing to do with your problem. You have to have an active service on your phone for all these features to work. Based on what you have told us it has to be a no service issue. You have to brand your phone with a mobile provider and contact them to set up an account. You do this by flashing a firmware to get your radios intune with your carrier of choice. I did look all over the place and cannot find a vipnet firmware anywhere. My suggestion is to flash to Vodafone for your region. Cid does not have anything to do with getting service since you are unbranded. When you brand your phone the firmware will convert your phones cid to match with the correct cid to have network service. I hope this helps you. I really hate to see you screw up your phone from not listening to our advice.

Do you know how to run fastboot from a PC? If so, issue the following commands:
fastboot getvar cid <-- This command will give you the customer ID
fastboot getvar mainver <-- This command will give the ROM build installed
With these two pieces of information it's pretty easy to determine which version of the Evo 3D you have and what software is installed.
ramjet73
Also, it's based on your location and carrier. If you live in Europe, it's Europe, etc. Rogers is a Canadian carrier.
AFAIK there's no difference in compatibility on any gsm phones , it's known as a world phone, you may use it throughout the world, I am a Rogers branded phone(Canadian eh) European, Asian roms work without issue, unlike our counterparts on cdma version
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Actually, ALL Verizon phones are SIM unlocked for the last 5 years or so, and the Rezound is SIM unlocked, although on the stock ROM it will give an "Unknown SIM" warning, it does not affect operation of the device and is just an annoyance.
Two things I see here, first is your firmware is NOT global mode (ie. GSM) compliant on the stock ROM... You are on 3.14.605.13 and need to be on a 4.x.x.x firmware of higher for it to work properly, the correct OTA update for you would be 4.05.605.14 which you can update directly from your version, if your phone is STOCK and UNTOUCHED... but seeing it is already S-OFF, it obviously isn't pure stock.
The good news here is you are already S-OFF, so just find the firmware files (Hboot and radios) and flash it with TWRP, then flash a GSM compatible ROM so you don't get the warning message about the SIM, and happily go about your day.
The bad news here is the Rezound was designed as a Verizon CDMA/LTE phone and not really a global device, so it is a HORRIBLE GSM phone, the GSM radios are poorly tuned and need relatively strong signal to even work. Most people who have tried to use this device as their primary phone on a GSM network leave it quickly due to it's poor network performance.

First, in the stock ROM the message app is hard coded to Verizon, try a different SMS/MMS app like Hangouts or Textra.
The GSM fix is to change the default network mode to GSM, it doesn't magically make GSM work (you will find on a reboot you will probably have to change the network mode again manually)... it makes a couple of prop.build. changes and is safe on ROMs it was intended for, meaning AOSP based ROMs, I don't know what happen if you tried to flash it on a CM or Sense based ROM.
As far as best ROMs go, it is tough for me to give advice since I haven't had a Rez for a long time, and my GSM experience with it was, lets just say less than acceptable. Many GSM only users like the ROMs by Sundream, personally I used Evervolv, Talon, and Liquid Smooth.
Hello, guys.
I have Sprint HTC One M9.
I have it S-OFF-ed and my phone's bootloader is unlocked too.
I live outside of US and I would love to install an international ROM.
Can someone tell me what to do? Or could you direct me to any step-by-step tutorial maybe?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Though not S-off as of now, I am also willing to install an international rom on my Sprint M9. If someone confirms, I will go ahead with S-off and ROM installation
Thanks

How did you do? If I downgrade radio to 2.xxx, it will be international phone, but it's not sometime signal
..............................
???????????/
As I know the steps to flash the international version is to get supercid and flash the RUU.exe (and of course to be S-OFF)
I have sprint m9 and currently S ON. by default sprint support LTE band 25,26 & 41 and I can not add any more lte band(tried all mentioned on XDA). Installing an international ROM after S Off, Can I get all lte bands which are usually available with international versions of M9?
I am from India and would like to add LTE band 3, 5, & 40. Please guide

@sanju_barc have you flashed with international version. are you getting reliance jio signal. also have sprint m9. tried changing band but no network. it shows emergency mode only. 3g works well with other reliance sim.
Here is Maximus 7.1.0 for Sprint.

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this!
I've bought this 'new' phone, I've flashed it with a new RUU because it wouldn't update on it's own. It's CID is 11111111 and I flashed an American ROM. I just can't get 3G to work. I've called my new carrier who say their side is working fine. I've checked the APN details and they seem fine too.
The seller said that the phone should work fine in the UK with 3G and 4G.
Is it possible that The US ROM somehow blocks the UK frequencies or something?
Thanks, Antony...
