Just to shed some light on this yes WIND operates on BAND IV otherwise known as AWS or 1700Mhz but it only operates on 3G for this band, it does not have a supporting 2G network of its own and uses a roaming partner to provide 2G services and roaming when outside its network.

What actually has my curiosity piqued is that it was coming up no signal or emergency call. Traditionally when it cannot lock in to the 3G AWS it defaults to the 2G technology in the phone and would come up as WIND AWAY. I am curious if it is a problem with the current SIM Card that WIND is using. They are launching the Lumina 710 in the coming weeks and with it a micro sim card. I purchased a HTC One XL today for my personal line but I actually work for WIND mobile I can definitely test this again once the micro sim's are released and I will also test it with a standard sim that I can use my micro sim cutter on after I get my unlock code Friday.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
The phone won't automatically join a WIND Away network, but when I did a network scan, it showed WIND Away (Rogers), Bell, and TELUS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slegrand:
Thanks for clearing that up, most devices I have tested connect automatically. This one just is a bit confusing a friend of mine works for HTC and told me it would work but we are getting mixed results lol. I know that my Galaxy S Vibrant wouldn't pick up WIND home on my old SIM card and its fine now with the current generation and the same happened with my Galaxy Nexus when I picked it up from the US in December.

If anything it will help me kill some time when things are slow :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
Hey danada,

I've been following your thread quite intently as I was planning on doing the same thing as you... guess atm there's no luck still in getting the one X to work on wind yet?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
We will have to wait at least until a root is developed for this device before we can dig much deeper into this issue.

I'll keep this thread up to date as I come across things (:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ytwytw:
Wait for S-OFF, then devs can look into radio firmware so that hopefully AWS can be unlocked...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
Sorry if you already looked into this danada, but have u thought of trying that "superboot" that paulobrien here at xda used to root the international one X and the one S? (I'm not sure if he uses different versions for each phone)

This is for the one S:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577831

He also posted on how he roots the international one but I can't post outside links yet :( you can find it on modaco android forums.

It seems he can't use the superboot on the international one due to the tegra 3 chip but since the rogers version uses the snap dragon, it might work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Just wait until tomorrow (:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Would this work on Fido?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ytwytw:
Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus/Solo/Virgin/Koodo/Chatr all works

it needs hack to work on Wind/Mobilicity
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] plow_king:
Has there been any progress on this?

Would love to use the HTC One X on Mobilicity
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Yeah has there been any update? I want to use it on Tmobile USA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
well PaulObrian over at modaco has rooted the rogers version of the phone with superboot, so hopefully some ppl can get S-off soon and AWS enabled somehow.

A problem for the ATT version though is that supposedly HTC has restricted its bootloader so it can't be rooted in the same way as the rogers version. Might make it harder for people in the states to get this phone to work for wind/tmobile now :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Does anyone know exactly how the Note achieved essentially the same goal we're aiming for? Also, what are the requirements for flashing a radio, is it simply having an unlocked bootloader, or do we also require s-off?

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
You probably already saw it but this is the thread that had the note work for tmobile(AWS)

Thanks, I've reached out to the person who was able to get things working on the Note. I'll continue to update this thread.

The radio structure is really similar to other Qualcomm phones. I posted some details here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25326453#post25326453

Someone can try replacing some files from the Note AWS radio. I am not sure how it will react, though. Samsung devices can easily be recovered from a bad radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zoolake:
Has anyone given this a try? I would, but I haven't got my HOX yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fungflex:
Modifications to the radio cannot be made until the HTC One X is fully baseband unlocked with S-Off. That obviously hasn't happened so this conversation is premature at best.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jay661972:
I am using this on T-Mobile network. For now it only use edge.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aqib727:
So my brother brought a QUAD ONE X from UK I think it was from Orange. Unlocked. Trimmed my Wind Sim Card tried it. Didn't work. After taking forever to search for Networks it showed WIND HOME but wouldnt register.

I guess waiting for someone to mess with the radio ;/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
err... well it would be a pretty different hack then as the north american version of the One X has/had AWS frequency posted as being supported. Danada had htc canada at least to confirm the rogers version does. What most of us here are hoping there is a way to "unlock the AWS" as its most likely been tampered/locked by ATT/rogers. The international version though never has had AWS supported.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cb474:
If the hack ever works on the Rogers version, though, would that then mean that one could use the Rogers version on T-Mobile U.S.? Wouldn't any phone that works on Wind AWS also work on T-Mobile U.S. AWS?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Yea if the phone works on Wind AWS it would work on AWS for Tmobile USA.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Looks like Xda got the bootloader unlocked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] htc fan89:
Still need s-off.... its good progress still
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] psn1819:
Hopefully the aws band is unlocked...since there is now news of the unofficial bootloader unlock ...will this be a possibility like galaxy note and skyrocket...or Better yet will it be as easily obtainable as it was in the galaxy devices...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zoolake:
here's hoping!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zoolake:
So although s-off hasnt yet been attained, radios can now be flashed using CWM recovery.....does this get us any closer to our goal?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Any new update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
I'd love to dump my radio and look through it, but I'm not exactly sure how to.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gqkevyn:
So looks like there isn't anyone working on getting the AWS to work for T-Mobile/Roger huh?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
The radio.img is a FAT16 image with a bunch of files it in. Lots of files are similar to the one used in the Skyrocket/Note mods for AWS. These match in terms of filename:

Others match in terms of file content quite a bit.

Someone can try replacing these files above with the Skyrocket AWS radio files and trying flashing the new radio.img only.

I don't have a One X, but I assume you can run:

fastboot flash radio radio.img

after you modify it.

After this, do the following to do a network scan (a RIL update may be required, but this avoids it by talking to the modem direclty):

su
stop ril-daemon
cat /dev/smd0 &
echo -e "AT+COPS=?\r" > /dev/smd0

The last one will take really long to complete (minutes?). Once done, you should see something like:

+COPS:
(2,"ROGERS","","302720",2),
...
...

If the above has WIND (302490)/T-Mobile (310260 not 31026) then you have AWS support.

All the above requires root and S-OFF I believe.

updates?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sharp2G:
I work for Wind and I can say the HTC One X will not work on AWS bands, so it's sort of pointless to waste hours of making it work. Go ahead and buy a T-Mobile HTC One S if you want it working on Wind or Mobilicity.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soapisclean:
Just curious: how do you know it won't work?

I'm thinking if the Galaxy S3 is being released for Mobilicity and Wind with the same Qualcomm Krais S4 chip as the HTC One X, there has to be a way to make it work on our providers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
perhaps you should let niceppl try it out. He's the only person known to have a S4 HOX s-off.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
I'm not sure this is completely safe. I think there are some checksum checks and messing up your radio is pretty serious. I don't think the device will boot with a non-working radio.

Yeah, I was going to do this but researched a bit and discovered the dangers.

Can anyone advise further?

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soapisclean:
That thread is about the HTC Wildfire S. How does it relate to the One X?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
You are correct.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
You're basing your argument on the thought that our HOX doesn't support AWS, but if you've been following this thread long enough, Danada already had HTC to confirm that at least the Roger's HOX does support AWS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
This post has some merit. The SGS3 is going to be released with the dual-core S4, similar to the S4 in the HOX. What is interesting is that WIND plans to release the SGS3 soon, which will obviously work on AWS bands.

Perhaps it will be possible to use, or modify, a radio from an AWS-capable SGS3 in our HOXs.

A good start would be to compare the LTE-capable radios from the US SGS3 to the HOX radios. If there is much in common, it should enforce that the hardware used in both devices are quite similar.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ajape:
Well, maybe someone should ask the one person online who seems to have "liberated" the ONE x from Rogers's radio? There's this canadian seller who's been advertising that he can completely unlock your One x so that it works with all sorts of companies, and he also sells the already freed versions on his site. Here's the Product link:

HTC One X Dual Core LTE, 16GB White or Grey with Dr Dre Beats, US$599

And here's the relevant part for the purposes of this discussion, and please note that the AWS frequencies appear in both the 3G and 4G fields:

Here's his advert for the sale of just the unlock code:

HTC One X Network Unlocking Code To Work With Rogers/Fido/Chatr/T-Mobile

Any XDA members in Canada up for some fact finding endeavors? ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] starter15:
i tried calling their company a few times this morning but no answer. also sent them an email. we'll have to wait and see i guess. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Denscafon:
I tried calling them too just now but got their answering machine which was not very professional sounding...

From the looks of the site they also have a HTC One S that is AWS enabled (which isn't surprising as T-mobile has it) but the main thing that is strange is that they have the Black version of it only. From my understanding the T-mobile AWS version only came in metalic blue...so the question is if this site is legit and/or where does this company get their phones from? Can't be from carriers for sure seeing as they have the One S black AWS version.

I'll stay cautiously optimistic until we get confirmation from them that the HOX they have actually has 1700 AWS band.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] starter15:
managed to get a hold of the guy at canadagsm. he stated that they carried unlocked AT&T HOX's which are compatible with the WIND/Mobilicity network. I really don't know enough about this kind of stuff so I couldn't challenge his answer. Based on what I've read however, he seems to be slightly misinformed.

As for the WorldGSMcodes sites, they told me that the phone WILL NOT work on WIND/Mobilicity even after being unlocked. It works on Telus because telus supports GSM/AWS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ajape:
Well, first of all thanks a million to all you guys from XDA in Canada who've been so helpful, your efforts on all our behalf are deeply appreciated. Thanks! :) :good:

Now, one of you guys would have to (pretty please) call him again and directly ask him if HIS unlocked HOX version has actually been CONFIRMED BY HIM, out of his own personal experience and USE of his HOX version on either a Wind or Mobilicity 3G SIM, to actually have worked and connected to 3G speeds on either network. You see, if he has indeed managed to do so, then all of the people with USA T-Mobile sims (Or those like me, with a flat rate Simple Mobile 3G Prepaid SIM for use when I'm in the USA) are golden! Here's the Wiki take on why, from the Mobilicity Network information section: :)

Hope you guys can get him to give a solid confirmation soon! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ajape:
And here's why this is an actual valid question, directly from HTC in both cases:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Hey guys, going to explain my last post.

I was able to accomplish this by using the latest Telus radio, rebooting my phone, inserting a SIM card and removing it. My phone would keep doing a network scan and these networks would show up. Occasionally I would also see AT&T. I live right beside Lake Ontario, so I must be picking up signal from across the lake.

For Americans, WIND uses AWS only, so seeing it come up on a network scan is pretty promising.

Can anyone help me explain this, or even test it out on their phones?

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Telus radio for which device?

As I said previously, the radios are very generic for all Qualcomm SoCs as long as they are the same generation. So have you tried a WIND sim?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Amartier:
Telus just announced that they'll be carrying the HTC One X sometime soon, probably in July. Maybe their version will work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Hi folks,

As I mentioned in another thread, I flashed the leaked Telus HOX radio (found here, correct me if I'm wrong) and was able to turn up WIND and WIND AWAY in network scans with my old Wind sim card. So the phone is likely going to work with Wind now, but I can't guarantee nor actually test the service (yet). If you or your friend has an active Wind sim, please feel free to confirm the results. I am however not responsible for any unfavorable consequences this action may lead to, buy a micro-sim adapter just in case :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Update: Telus radio doesn't work on Wind, as tested by Danada.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Yeah, this is a total bummer. I do have a continuing ticked with HTC Support about this. They continue to insist the phone would work on WIND and they are looking into it (receive two phone calls already).

If anyone is faster than me at testing the tmo radio, all WIND stores will have a microsim to test with inside their SGS3 promo unit.

~dan

BTW, at least we can get the network to show up on the majority of scans!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Has anybody tried to get the actual error code when connecting? Try what I posted below, and add this line after AT+COPS=?:

echo -e "AT+COPS=1,2,\"302490\"\r" > /dev/smd0

Make sure AT+COPS=? returns 302490 (WIND) before the above or it may complain its out of range instead of the actual error.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Didn't you mention that it requires s-off? We're not there yet, I'm no techy guy either, but I will give it a try tonight anyways. Will report soon.

Edit: wait, what am I trying, I don't have an active wind sim. :banghead:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Not sure what is required to flash the Telus radio, however, my post has nothing to do with flashing a radio. It just will return a proper error code when trying to connect to WIND.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Hi Zivian, when I typed echo -e "AT\r" > /dev/smd0, it responded with 0 instead of ok, is that a problem?

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

As soon as I stop ril-daemon (with my Chatr sim card), the phone radio is forced to CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto mode, so most of the scans didn't show Wind. The only exception was when I first noticed this change on the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*) where I changed it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto midway through the scan, and then Wind popped up. But echo-ing it afterwards came up with:

so I think the mode switched back to CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto (I could be wrong). I was unable to replicate the result ever since in the 10+ trials.

With my old Wind sim, although the phone let me stayed on GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto (as shown on the "Phone info" in the hidden menu) throughout the process, no Wind showed up. WCDMA only didn't cut it either.

All above was done with the Telus radio, flashing TMOUS radio as of this writing....

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 AM ----------

No luck with TMOUS radio either. Again, phone radio appears to be forced to CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto as soon as stop ril-daemon, this time on my old Wind sim.

But the most confusing part is..........

That being said, Wind Home only showed up in like 2 out of 10 scans.

Good night.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Once you stop ril-daemon, I don't believe Android can send any settings to the modem nor read from it. So it must just revert to the default value of "CDMA+LTE/EvDo auto"

As for "+CME ERROR: no network service" it looks like it cannot connect to WIND as its unable to communicate with the base station...otherwise you would get another error about "network not allowed" or similar.

You can try replacing "302490" with "302720" to rule out the command being incorrect...that will just connect back to Rogers. But I think its perhaps that the Telus radio only supports 2100MHz and only sees the downlink part of AWS (like older Blackberry phones/iPhones).

EDIT: saw your screenshot with T-Mobile radio, perhaps your SIM card has expired? I know on my Galaxy Nexus it lists all networks as WIND Away and not the actual name like with the Telus radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] heeheehahahohoho:
Then is there a cmd/way to set the default radio mode to one that has WCDMA in it?

My Wind sim is indeed expired, I just wanted to try to rule out the possibility of AWS not being supported...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
I'm quite sure with the T-Mobile radio you will be able to connect to WIND as soon as you have a valid SIM. It would display "network out of range" or something instead of "Your SIM card does not allow..."

There probably is a way but its a Qualcomm specific command which I can't recall at the moment.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
If I find some free time today, I'll flash over the tmo radio and test it out at the WIND store with a valid sim.

I'll report back (fingers crossed).

~dan
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Weird, I flashed the htc one s tmo-us radio (ota version), went to the WIND store, put in their microsim and was only able to see WIND Away, nothing else.

Does this mean we've lost all hope?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dreamybear:
I'm hoping that this will all pan out. My bf is on Wind and is itching to use a One X. He's been eying my Rogers One X and plotting to bring it to Wind. :(

I hope that someone will eventually be able to get the phone to run on AWS. I've been diligently following this thread in hopes that the testing will prove successful, but danada's latest post is making me lose a bit of hope.

Then again, should I should cross my fingers that you guys can't crack the phone so that I can keep my One X? :p LOL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Hmm, heeheehahahohoho was able to see it with two different radios. Perhaps there is no coverage inside the store?

I know for a fact that error is when it can't register to the network (different from being able to connect)

int ILLEGAL_SIM_OR_ME = 15; /* network selection failure due
to wrong SIM/ME and no
retries needed */

...
if ((ex != null && ex instanceof CommandException) &&
332 ((CommandException)ex).getCommandError()
333 == CommandException.Error.ILLEGAL_SIM_OR_ME)
334 {
335 status = getResources().getString(R.string.not_allowed);
336 } else {
337 status = getResources().getString(R.string.connect_later);
338 }

...
<string name="not_allowed">Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network.</string>

<string name="connect_later">Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later.</string>

.

It would display "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later" if it was unable to physically connect to the network to start registration.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Faruk88:
One thing to note is that some phones which support HSPA 2100 can actually detect HSPA 1700 (AWS) networks but are unable to connect. This is because HSPA 1700 uses 1700MHz for uplink and 2100MHz for downlink, which overlaps with the downlink for HSPA 2100.

It would be pretty awesome if you guys got the phone working on HSPA 1700 (I'm on Wind!), but I'm not keeping my hopes up, because of 1) What I said above, and 2) The FCC documentation for this phone doesn't show that HSPA 1700 has been tested.

The Nokia Lumia 900, on the other hand, actually shows HSPA 1700 in the FCC documentation, but it appears that Nokia has caved in to pressure from AT&T and/or Rogers and disabled it in firmware.

Just for the hell of it though, maybe when Telus starts selling this phone in a few days, somebody should unlock it and try to put a Wind SIM card in it :D
