Been doing homework because seems to be confusion about Sprints MCC / MNC which is 310120 and VM is 310053

source: http://nxwiki.blogspot.com/2012/02/mcc-mnc-codes-s-to-z.html

also a quote from a Sprint Advocacy letter on a unrelated issue(http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/387681):

i. What is Sprints policy of using pre-paid SIM card for international phones. (certain international phones such as the Photon does not save APN settings that do not use Sprint's MCC/MNC 310 and 120. This stops any attempt to use a pre-paid SIM for data in the Photon for example). Sprint claims its a Motorola issue and Motorola claims it’s a Sprint issue). The use of data for a business traveler or the occasional international traveler is important. What is Sprints policy of using pre-paid SIM card for international phones.

which quotes Sprints MCC / MNC after doing the custom PRI and reverting back to 1.42_003 I am 310120 which is Sprint.

Hope this sheds light for people that are concerned if they are on Sprints Network.

One is official List other is documentation from Sprint. I am trusting these 2 sources. What do you think?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I went into epst to manually change mcc and mnc to 310 and 120. My mnc was 00 and not 53 or 120. I tried changing it to 120 but it said it would only accept a 2 digit number. Any ideas what this means? :)

see post #63. If everything is the same as the first leak, then what's the sense in updating.

Did you flash the 1st leak?
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
So this seemed to fix my issue with wifi disconnecting but my 4G ,according to tests,is much slower. I ran tests last week and then after flashing yesterday and today and here are my results.

[HTC EVO 3D] verase:
Same issue here. My mcc is 310, mnc is 00 and only allows 2 digits
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Hello everyone. Good morning now... :)

I've done some quick checking. I'm having a little trouble. Does anyone know where this string might be located in the firmware?

If I can figure that out, this should flash, and should be Sprint friendly... That's assuming that I haven't completely missed something else.

Don't get your hopes up. I'm trying though.

For what its worth, on my Evo LTE, my mnc is set to 00.

I have not had any problems either, but would like to get back to 100% sprint
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
What are you wrong about? Is 310120 another VM operator number? In that thread I was just trying to compare operator numbers to see what/what didn't change as a result of the Vm firmware.

310120=Sprint

311490=not sprint (vm i guess)

both using same towers.imagine if it was vzw.Like I said its intersting.I dont know much about it

i flashed the original freeza firmware and it didnt do much other than reduced data speeds (no vm banner, kept 1.42_003). i flashed the LITE version of this and for my surprise, now 3g seems to be much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] jamexman:
If I flash the lite version, when sprint releases the official one, will that one override this one? Just wanna make sure if anything goes wrong (well, lite is only radio, WiMAX and adsp only right?), just flashing sprints upcoming one will overwrite this ones...

Hey phibetabeast

The only way I have found to go back and it is still ify is nocturnal's download on their site. I cannot post the link because they do not want anyone to link to it, but I seen the link on page 71 (I think) under simple guide to [VM firmware recovery thread] v2.

Flashing back to VIN's 3.5 will not change anything as far as PRI or PRL if it is just a ROM. What is your PRI? All you put was 1.53 and Virgin mobile is 1.53.144 and Sprint is 1.53.145 ( I believe I am correct)

That's if you run an .exe ruu. If its a new hboot it just updates the hboot, nothing else.

Yes, you can still flash stuff with being S-off, that's the important thing. And yes flashing the new firmware doesn't cure the VM PRI.

Unfortunately, if you flashed the vm leak, your pri will still read the same. As for the s-off but locked.....you're good. You will be able to flash radios, rims, and kernels just as before. :)

Your have two options for hboot 1.50 Unlocked & S-on:

1) relock, flash the full 2.17 Ruu to get back to full stock. Then take/flash the 2.58 ota update. HTC Unlock again, reroot/custom recovery/flash 2.58 based Rom (you won't be able to revert back to 2.17 w/o s-Off & its not clear yet if you will be able to obtain s-Off with the new hboot)

2) Get s-Off so you can flash the fw/radio only by:

- Downgrade to hboot 1.40

Or

- Jbear wire trick

Again, once you upgrade the fw/radio/hboot you may only be able to run roms/kernels with the new 2.58 base.

I've been trying to get confirmation on this. It's true that ROMs based off 2.89 update will not boot with HBOOT <1.57? I would think you'd be fine as long as you update the firmware.
[HTC EVO 3D] bpc4209:
Yes.. that is true the 2.89 kernel wont boot without the new 1.58 Hboot. For whatever reason HTC made it that way...

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Based on some testing done by users in the MeanROM ICS thread, hboot 1.58 is not required to run the new OTA base. People have been running the OTA version of the kernel succesfully in MeanROM ICS 2.5 and 2.6 with the JuopunutBear bootloaders which are 1.50.5050 for GB and 1.57.5757 for ICS, and I suspect the ENG bootloader will work as well. I believe it's the other components of the firmware that need to be updated and the bootloader just happens to get updated in the process if it is included in the firmware .zip file. I do know that updating the bootloader to 1.58 without the other firmware does not work because I've tried that myself.

edit: Mike (OP for MeanROM ICS) just commented that he couldn't flash MeanROM based on the new build with the 1.4 bootloader and the rest of the new firmware flashed, so it may be that 1.50 or higher bootloader is required. I haven't seen any results for testing with the ENG (1.04) bootloader and the rest of the new firmware flashed yet.

[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Check your radio/baseband: Did it advance to v 1.09xxxxx?, Did you flash one with Hboot 1.58? If so reboot to bootloader and check. That's all that you will "see" change. The rest requires flashing a rom from the 2.58 base (2.58 based kernels appear to require hboot 1.58 to avoid bootloops).

And just to confirm what others have said, if you're s off and flash 1.58 you will stay s-off and can flash another hboot later if you want (I flashed down to an older one to keep running cm9)

Hey guys just wondering if anybody has unlocked a One S (bought from a Canadian Carrier) and tested it out on Wind or Mobilicity.

I emailed HTC asking them about the bands supported by the phones and this is the reply I got.

So I was just wondering if anybody has tested this out and knows if it works on Wind or Mobilicity by just unlocking it or if the AWS bands are "locked" just like the Galaxy Note.

Wrong. Canadian One S are not AWS.
