I have a tmobile HTC One - will flashing this Nandroid backup remove the TAMPERED and SECURITY WARNING stuff that I see in the bootloader? I'd like to start at stock again, definitely messed something up badly here - I can't actually get CWM to come up :(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tigersgt:
I haven't flashed the tmobile radio yet, but hoping it will improve the speed.

I am in NYC and am only getting 6~10mb download and 1~2mb upload on my dev ed. when everyone in the speed test thread is getting 15+mb.

I am wondering if that has something to do with the 1700 band being locked.

So, is anyone know hardware specific for phone wireless chip? Should I buy a 64gig dev version or better go to t-mobile and get their version to use with simple mobile? Is the hardware the same as on t-mobile version and supporting HSPA+ 1700Mhz? Thinking to buy one of those phones but really not sure what's to get =(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] :
Just get Tmobile. You can pay to have it unlocked, and if someone figure out how to enable different frequencies, you can enable the other ones if it's possible.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
OK, I think this is important enough that I'm going to post it in the two areas that deal with attempting to flash the TMO radio.

According to the following post, the TMO version actually has a different hardware inside the phone, and the dev edition cannot be flashed to have AWS HSPA+

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40892169&postcount=99
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mentax:
Just spoke with HTC agent, he told me that it is hardware locking and if you will by 64Gigs dev model in t-mobile you will get only 2G :( As they told me it's no way to hack it and get full 4g support on t-mobile... Not sure - that's true or not.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
The good news is that T-Mobile is busy refarming their network to allow 1900 HSPA and later 1700 LTE, both of which are supported by the dev. However, there is only limited refarm 1900, and VERY limited LTE at this time.

But eventually that dev will provide higher speeds.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ogdobber:
the reps don't know what they are talking about. I have the dev model, got 12k down on tmobile right out of the box. (1900 h+)

i flashed the stock tmobile rom so i could have wifi calling...everything still works.

then flashed the tmobile radios and got better results with my att sim, haven't done any testing with tmobile yet...i'm sure it will be better

as far as the 3g 1700 band on the dev phone, i don't believe it is hardware, I think it can be hacked

but this summer they should light up lte on tmobile and that will work on tmo (as well as already on att)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I think the rep was referring to the AWS+ 1700/2100 bands. Even they would know that 1900 HSPA works right out of the box.

I'm not sure about the hardware. HTC has released some phone models with different radio chips for T-Mobile. But as many have noted, the chipset used in the One seems to support all radios.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ogdobber:
he said the rep said only 2g...

did another version of the one come through the FCC? that would be the tell tale.

If not, it is a service menu hack
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I just looked it up, and the AT&T version is Part Number PN07110. The PN on my T-Mobile one is PN07130. So there appear to be two different versions.

EDIT: Those are the FCC part numbers.

EDIT of the EDIT: I don't know, a search of the exact part number turns up showing Wifi n. So maybe this is something different. But that is the only FCC ID on my T-Mobile box.

OK, last EDIT: The Sprint FCC ID is 07200.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/htc-one-sprint-fcc/
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ogdobber:
five have gone through the fcc. I would guess that all the "100s" have the same hardware and different radios enabled.

look them up here https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm?calledFromFrame=N

just put the product code in...

HTC One (PN07100) -international?

HTC One (PN07110) -dev?

HTC One (PN07120) -att

HTC One (PN07130) -tmobile

HTC One (PN07200) -sprint
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Thanks for the info. What a confusing site.

Well, I think the FCC reports don't help in determining if there is a hardware change, or just the firmware / software.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] coolpkduck:
7120 is Dev also
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
I don't know for sure, but I believe I've read that there's more to the radio than just the chipset. A phone can have a chipset that technically supports a number of different frequencies. But there are also amplifiers, antennas configurations, transceivers, etc., which are necessary for a phone to work properly on a particular frequency. So it may be possible that the Dev Edition and the T-Mobile version have the same chipset and would superficially appear to support the same frequencies, but even if you could enable blocked frequencies in firmware, it still wouldn't work correctly.

Honestly, if this was purely a matter of firmware/software, it's hard for me to imagine why HTC would deliberately disable the AWS UMTS frequencies in the Dev Edition. How does HTC benefit from artificially limiting the frequencies the Dev Edition can work on? Wouldn't it be better for encouraging more developers to make it a universal phone (at least for AT&T and T-Mobile)? It just makes little sense to me that HTC would go out of their way in the software/firmware of the Dev Edition to lock T-Mobile out. And this isn't a carrier subsidized phone, so the carriers aren't telling HTC what to do with the Dev Edition. So I think it is fairly likely that there is a hardware limitation here and HTC just had to make a decision of which carrier their Dev Edition was going to work on.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
They clearly chose wrong. They should have used the T-Mo version for the US, as it supports 2G/3G/4G/LTE on both AT&T and T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I agree, and I would have bought that model. However, the HTC rep said they chose the one they did because it is identical to the AT&T. I suspect AT&T will have the most sales simply because they are so big. It may also be that AT&T agreements require that any 64Gb sold be an AT&T model.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] initial_k:
Really sucks that Tmobile doesn't have 64GB version.

Did anybody able to flash the t-mobile radio on the DE and get consistent speed on HSPA+ without being in a reframe area?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
A couple of people flashed the T-Mobile ROM (via NANDROID restore), but didn't get any AWS to work. Evidently there is more than just the ROM.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ccbm3:
I did. I get decent speeds but not the speeds I would like. The radio chip needs to be hacked to accept hspa+ speeds if I remember the post I read earlier correctly
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
You should get the same speeds as you did with the dev rom - 1900 HSPA at 21 mb (maximum), or LTE if you are lucky. Or are the speeds actually less with the TMO ROM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
I think you're misunderstanding my post. I was suggesting that there may be a hardware limitation to enabling both 1900 UMTS and 1700/2100 (AWS) UMTS, along with LTE, on the same phone.

I know there are a lot of phones with both 1900 UMTS and 1700/2100 UMTS, but I think I read somewhere (could be wrong) that once you throw LTE into the mix on top of that (plus the legacy GSM), it gets to be too many different frequencies and protocols for current technolgoy to do in a single phone. The AnandTech article about the HTC One, which I link to earlier in this thread, explains that manufacturers would love to have just once device that works on all carriers. It would vastly simplify production. But it's not possible yet.

So again, if it were as simple as to base the Dev phone on the T-Mobile variant ant then it would work on all frequencies and network technologies, for both T-Mobile and AT&T, I don't see why HTC would not have done this. Obviously HTC knows that T-Mobile uses all the same frequencies as AT&T, plus 1700/2100 UMTS. If there were no hardware limitation to making one phone that works completely on both carriers, it just makes no sense for HTC to deliberately exclude developers who want to use the Dev device on T-Mobile.

So, if HTC had to make a choice, unfortunately, it makes sense to choose AT&T, the much larger carrier with a far greater number of users.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] twinpeaks:
How about the AT&T version? I can pay the same price for that version $650, cancel my contract, and move to TMobile. Will I be in the exact same boat or will be I be able to use HDSPA+
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] :
AT&T and dev edition are the same.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
The T-Mobile phone already supports all that.

2G (GSM/EDGE) 850, 900, 1800, 1900

3G (UMTS/WCDMA,HSDPA) 850, 1700, 1900, 2100

4G (LTE) 700, 1700 (2100)

Which covers all of AT&T and T-Mobile 2G, 3G, 4G (HDSP+) and LTE.

The T-Mobile version can fully support AT&T.

http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one/#specs

I'm currently using a T-Mobile version on AT&T and it works perfectly.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] akpirani83:
Tmobile version is better than the dev version!

that makes total sense, so purchasing the tmobile version and unlocking it will get you the flexibility of all the frequencies (2g/3g/4g/lte) for both carriers in the US, rather than the dev version. Seems like buying the tmobile htc one and then unlocking it is the best option.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
Thanks for the link. Well, in that case I can't explain why HTC didn't just use the T-Mobile variant for the Dev Edition. Maybe part of the exclusivity deal with AT&T? I don't think it's a cost issue, since the Dev Edition is more expensive than the unsubsidized cost on the AT&T and T-Mobile verions. It does seem dumb though.

Are you sure on AT&T you're getting 3G with the T-Mobile variant? Have you tried locking it to WCDMA to see what happens?

It's interesting that the specs in the link also say that the AT&T version is limited to 21 Mbps on HSDPA, whereas the T-Mobile version does 42 Mbps on HSDPA. Perhaps it's cheaper to build less capability into the AT&T version either for hardware or licensing reasons? Still doesn't explain though why HTC wouldn't want the Dev Edition to be more universal. Is it really worth alienating the potential T-Mobile bound developers?

I do still think that the Dev Edition may be limited at a hardware level from having AWS UMTS turned on merely with firmware/software. But I hope I turn out to be wrong.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] e-motion:
I don't believe there's any hardware limitation currently in supporting all US bands, look at the Xperia ZL c6506, it's pentaband 3G (umts, wcdma) AND pentaband LTE, supporting all GSM carriers in the USA and then some.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
Yes, I used the Network Signal Info app to see what I'm actually getting. In my town, I've seen UMTS, HSDPA 7.2, 14.4, and 21, and have seen speeds of ~10mbps. AT&T doesn't have LTE where I am. My guess is they only advertise 21mbps HSPA+ since that's all AT&T has deployed.

Brian Klug, on the latest Anand podcast, said AT&T will do whatever they can to ensure devices on their network will not work on T-Mobile, usually by software locking the phones to not support AWS HSPA+. Since they paid HTC for the 64GB exclusivity, I bet HTC only had AT&T 64GB versions to offer as dev version. What that doesn't explain is why HTC doesn't offer unlocked T-Mobile compatible 32GB versions.

If I recall properly, Brian still seems to think the AT&T and T-Mobile version were hardware identical. I believe it was somewhere around the 1h15m mark in podcast 20.

Edit: yep, went back and listened, he said the only difference between the AT&T and T-Mobile HTC One is the AT&T and dev versions have the AWS HSPA+ band RAT locked out. Same goes for the AT&T and T-Mobile versions of the GS4. He said he want's an FCC with a backbone to not allow AT&T to do that, the only reason is to prevent people from taking their phones to T-Mobile.

AnandTech Podcast 20 Go to 1h14m45s or so.

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

The two downsides, 1. you only have the 32GB option (hopfeully AT&Ts 64GB exclusivity will run out at some point), and 2. you have to wait for T-Mobile to release software updates. #2 doesn't matter if you're going to root anyways.

Edit: Oh, and 3, you need to get it SIM unlocked if you want to cross networks. Not a problem if you're using it on T-Mo though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] id10terrordfw:
This almost makes me wonder if it can be hacked like the AT&T Note 2 was using nv info to enable 1700. I believe it was with a QCN restore.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
If you still have it flashed to TMO, could you enter *#*#4636#*#* and see what the preferred network is set to, or if the option to set it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE AUTO is even present?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nyxagamemnon:
Looks like it's going to be the same process as the Note 2 on ATT to enable 1700.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
For those interested, here's the thread detailing this:

Enable AWS band (3g/4g Tmobile) on ATT Note 2 stock baseband
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Thanks, I was hoping a change there might help. But those are the right values.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nyxagamemnon:
The question is would it be the same process on an HTC One? and there's some differences people are flashing the T-Mobile modem and the device works perfectly but with no change, so this leads me to believe there is something else that is blocking the 1700AWS from working. Possibly in the NV parameters.

But is the process the same on an HTC one? as it is on a Note 2?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
No idea. Someone else would need to comment. I don't have an AT&T/dev to test, and I can't give advice to anyone with those devices to try it, but looking at the instructions, it looks like it's based on Qualcomm software, so without much more info than that, I'd think the process would be similar. I wonder if the QPST software tweaks would be enough alone, or if you'd need the T-Mobile radio firmware. We'd probably need an HTC One version of a qcn file.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nyxagamemnon:
I'm guessing QPST would be enough. Need to get a t-mobile QCN file and compare to Dev edition and edit the files accordingly.

Hardware is the same.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
I wonder it'd be as easy as dumping a T-Mobile qcn and flashing it to the dev version?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nyxagamemnon:
Someone needs to be a ginny pig

:)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
If something like the Note 2 method works, is that the sort of thing that will persist across flashing different or upgraded ROMs? Or will the process have to be repeated with every ROM flash? Could the feature even conceivably be built into a ROM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] id10terrordfw:
It persists because it touches things a ROM flash won't even get near. And no, it can't be built into a ROM.

I can't really answer your question about if it is using 1900 or 1700/2100. I suppose you could go into the keypad info menu and set the phone to NOT use AWS. Then if the H+ comes up you would know...

flashed just recovery and it wont boot into recovery

Hey everyone, I had a nandroid but did not backup my recovery so I downloaded this and flashed the recovery.img in fastboot and it went ok but now I cannot boot into stock recovery. When I boot into fastboot and I have to choose bootloader then recovery it just shows the htc logo, quickly says at the top entering recovery or booting recovery dont remember but then it goes right back to the white fastboot screen. factory reset also does the same thing....Any ideas?

Also, if I power down the phone while plugged into USB and my pc it automatically goes into fastboot but if its unplugged from USB and I power down it powers down like normal. I am not sure what to do at this point, any help is greatly appreciated.

Flash recovery via fastboot
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cb474:
Network Signal Info is an awesome app. But it won't give you this information. It only tells you if you're on HSPA, Edge, etc. Not whether the HSPA you're getting is 1900 Mhz or AWS.

Also, if you use the keypad menu (*#*#4636#*#*), I'm pretty sure there is no option to disable just AWS. You can entirely disable WCDMA, but then you won't get HSPA at all on any frequency.

I tried to figure this out a while ago on my Nexus 4 and I think there is in fact no a way to see which frequency of HSPA or GSM or whatever that you're on. The only way I could figure out to test whether I was getting 1900 Mhz (which I wanted to test to see if I was getting the refarmed signal) was to use a different older phone I had that I knew did not have AWS. Similarly, if one wanted to test specifically for AWS HSPA, one would need a phone that only has AWS and not 1900 Mhz.

I'm sure there is other sophisticated equipment in existence that can test these things, but I imagine only cell phone company technicians have things like this. Sometimes in AnandTech articles you see them talk about being loaned equipment like this.
