anybody tried? willit unlock 1700 aws?
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
Give it a try. International radios have been flashed using this same tried and true method listed in the first post. All I did was add the t-mobile radio and viola! At this point everything is safe and its just the question will the developer/ATT phone let us call using T-mobile 3G :)

If it doesn't then please let us know and flash your original radios back from the back up in step 2.
[One (M7) General] cellneuron:
my order is still in picking status.
[One (M7) General] GuestK00156:
Id love to try it on my dev edition, but i havent switched to tmobile yet. hopefully later this week, and my area has LTE and is refarmed. Id like to see a radio that enables all frequencies, but i dont think that its possbile. at least not yet.
[One (M7) General] illestfob:
I just flashed it. copied the old radio img, then flashed the zip file.

But I don't notice any difference in radio reception. Network connection changes from E to 3G to H to no service every few minutes just as before I flashed it...

I live in a refarmed area, but my G2 would always have a solid 4G connection in my room. Not to mention the service bars are between 2-3 on the One. I usually get full reception here.
[One (M7) General] rpmccormick:
I don't want to flash it as I man return the device (for a TMO version, or maybe an S4/other), but I can confirm the same behavior with the stock radio:

1900 refarmed. Gets "H" sometimes, but never for long. Mostly switches between "E" and "3G". Old TMO phone had solid "H" always. My bars are about the same as before... usually... right now my phone is only showing 2 bars and "G" which must be slower than Edge I guess.
[One (M7) General] cellneuron:
you may get same connection with tmo htc one in your area.
[One (M7) General] dksxmks:
I'm on Tmo with a 32gb unlocked One, so I gave it a shot. I have a SGS2 as well so I know I get HSPA+ here and not Edge, which is what I'm getting now on my One.

I backed up the radio, unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery, flashed supersu, flashed Tmo radio, did factory reset. No luck, still getting Edge on my One. :(
[One (M7) General] cellneuron:
so it means either there is no 1700 band in unlocked version or need other tricks to unlock it.
[One (M7) General] GuestK00156:
The ATT, TMO, and DEV/UNL editions are all the same hardware, so id wager other tricks are needed.
[One (M7) General] xcesivemastub8ah:
Keeping the solid "H" is just a tmobile software trick. Like all carriers they "tweak" their signal icons and bars to keep the icon on while in range of hspa+ but most, if not all, unlocked phones will show "3g" until you start transferring data such as opening a web page or syncing weather or mail, etc. then it'll show the "H". If youre showing "3g" then youre in 1900mhz "4g" range.

As for you only getting "G" it really sucks but you seem to be getting crappy signal.
[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
This actually makes sense
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
Could you please post a picture or tell us what your baseband currently is? Just want to be sure the T-mobile radio did indeed flash over correctly.

settings>about>software information>More>Baseband version

should be:4A.14.3250.15_10.34.1150.02L
[One (M7) General] dksxmks:
That is what I have after flashing the Tmo Radio.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
How do you know they are the same hardware?
[One (M7) General] GuestK00156:
It was previously discovered. I'll try and find the post.
[One (M7) General] illestfob:
Yes that is my current baseband version

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) General] short/y:
And mine.

I work in an area that is both refarmed and has good LTE. On my ride home I checked every so often and found that I maintained a healthy LTE, HSPA, or 3G connection until I got close to home. Then it changed and it dropped to EDGE. I flashed the T-Mobile radio while at work about 2 hours before I left for home and continued to get good reception and fast speeds and now that I'm home I'm down to 100kbps or something like that.

I agree - there's something else that has to be changed.
[One (M7) General] :
Are there any TMobile RUU's out there?
[One (M7) General] aloha2013:
Becool0130,

Did you mean you flashed international version with this US T-mobile radio and tested it in a non-refarmed region with success?

I am going to buy a Euro-Asia-Mid-east version in black, do you think it can be flashed to US t-mobile band?

Many thanks! :p
[One (M7) General] howardho:
Just flashed it too, doesn't work. I have the 32gb unlocked version and the baseband number did change, but I still only get edge speeds or the 1900 refarmed.
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
Did anyone who flashed it double check their APN's?
[One (M7) General] howardho:
Doesn't change anything, tried fast.tmobile, epc.tmobile, and internet2.voicestream
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
boo. I don't live in a refarmed area and I hope someone figures this out before I get mine. I will do some experiments myself when I get mine.
[One (M7) General] stirbot:
I'm a bit disappointed to hear the simple T-Mobile flash on the Dev. Edition doesn't allow access to all the bands. Thankfully I live in an area where this isn't a huge issue, but it would be nice to have some continuity of data speeds while traveling.

What are the odds of someone figuring out the required trick? Has something similar been done with other devices?
[One (M7) General] ahernandez4110:
Man I have the ATT 64GB Developer One, I'm Bootloader Unlock but still haven't rooted, or install Costume Recovery to try this on T-Mobile. I would like to try it but I dont know how to install recovery or root

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

I just spoke to HTC and they told me that there's no 1700Mhz frequency Band on any of the HTC One Developer Edition 32GB or 64GB. Mine only locks to EDGE on T-Mobile but they are re framing T-Mobile in Jacksonville and in some place I Get 3G or H @ DL 14MB
[One (M7) General] :
HTC reps know nothing.
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
That HTC rep either is wrong or isn't telling the whole story. The SKU/part number is the same for the AT&T dev edition and the T-Mobile version. I highly doubt they are selling the T-Mo version without support for HSDPA on AWS, so that means it has to be unlockable.

I just can't fathom why, if the hardware supports it, they would sell this thing not supporting HSDPA on AWS. It's just silly.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
Qualcomm charges per frequency. So they have to pick and choose what they support. I believe one of the reasons why the headphones were removed from the T-Mobile version was to offset the cost of the extra licensing for AWS spectrum for HSPA+.
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
Interesting. So it is just software.

I wonder how long before someone figures out how to extract the correct radio images and gets it working.

Thanks for the info.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
Yeah that sounds legit
[One (M7) General] 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. Ordinarily I NEVER cross post.

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+

[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
Much like the nexus 4 with LTE. Google knew they'd get into trouble and removed the LTE software on the next update. If they said otherwise they'd be in legal trouble with Qualcomm. They are not licensed on certain devices for certain spectrum. By "hacking" it to work and if we do HTC hands are clean as they didn't tell us it was possible, and said it couldn't be done. So they have no legal ramifications. I would hold off on the assumptions it can't be done until everything software wise has been done, or until someone tears apart the T-Mobile and Dev version and see different radio's in different placements or connections.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I'm not vouching for the accuracy, but the poster claims to be an HTC employee and seems to have knowledge of the difference between the SKUs, and I specifically asked him about hardware. This would be different than your Nexus 4, if indeed it has different hardware.

Time will tell...
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
Yes, but by saying it's not possible regardless if he gave true or false information stops HTC from being in legal trouble if it is possible. If someone figures it out HTC is not held liable for it. If he said everything was the same then HTC could be held liable if we figured it out. As long as HTC deters whether we succeed or fail then they are in the clear :)

Anyway of course they would have different skus one way or another... They are being sold as different items so you wouldn't give them the same sku as that would be a pain in the bottom logistically. I think though people who ordered the T-Mobile version in refarmed areas wouldn't mind getting a dev version for the price of a T-mobile branded version if you know what I mean.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I am refarmed, but no LTE. I almost went with the dev anyway. In the end TMO was able to get it to me quicker, and my current insurance still works if I buy from TMO.
[One (M7) General] xdracco:
This could be useful as a generic radio flashing thread.

I have the dev edition and I'm actually looking for the AT&T radio image to flash my device. I'm getting low signals.

any one want to give up their AT&T radio image?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
So you would mind getting 64GB of storage for the price of 32GB especially when all the radios would work in your area. Personally I would love it lol. Walk into T-Mobile and walk out with a dev version in a T-Mobile box. Lol
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
Well, according to Brian Klug from AnandTech (who doesn't have a vested interest in suggesting they are different) the physical hardware is the same and there are only two American variants: GSM/LTE and the CDMA sprint variant. He also goes on to say that it doesn't make any sense from a hardware standpoint for it to support LTE on AWS but not HSDPA. The hardware to accomplish both would be the same, so it must be disabled in software.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] Tidbits:
I has to do with licensing. Qualcomm charges more licensing fees for more spectrums. I think it was a response to "wash their hands clean" of any wrong doing if we figure out how to enable it. Think of the Nexus 4 for example and Google's removal of the LTE software. It was to make sure they were not held liable.
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
This i can buy. I was responding to the person who quoted a supposed HTC rep. That rep had suggested that the T-Mobile variant had different radio hardware, yet no evidence of this exists in either the model number or the FCC filing.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] minghi:
all we need now is an engineer from qcom to join xda and unlock the frequency bands for us ;)
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
There are different fcc numbers for the various One models. They also have different model numbers with the fcc. The T-Mobile is 7130.
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
Interesting, I was told otherwise.

I stand corrected.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I still am not sure those model numbers involve hardware changes. The hardware guy seems to think so...
[One (M7) General] TVGuy:
So, it's been awhile since there were any comments added here.. I've been watching closely as I was really hoping to open that 1700 AWS on my developer phone. Am I correct in sensing that this is pretty unlikely or is there a real chance that we will be able to flash a working T-Mobile radio to this device?

I'm thinking it might be best to go thru the hassle of selling this one and getting the official T-Mobile version? A

Many thanks to all that have contributed to this thread.
[One (M7) General] sassafras_:
It's probably possible. But as with anything on xda, ETA is unknown.

What is impossible is that they could build a phone that supports signal duplex on one set of frequencies for one transmission protocol and not for another. The hardware would be the same. If it is really truly different, then I'd be very surprised.

sassafras
[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
It's seems as though the band would be there. It's 2013 how does a smart phone not support all common frequencies. I'm just saying. Maybe I'm wrong.
[One (M7) General] howardho:
Many phones probably have the same bands due to similar chipsets, the big point of contention is that it costs money to license different frequencies. For example the Nexus 4 didn't advertise it's LTE capabilities but it obviously could do it. The Nexus 4 would have cost more though, since LG would have had to pay for the license. Same with the Note 2. The hardware is probably there, it'll just take some figuring out how to tweak it to unlock the capability.
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
This thread has turned into a discussion thread for now. We discuss how to successfully flash a new radio not upgrade.

To my knowledge it requires s-off as none of the methods we have used in this thread works. Even then there is a chance things stool won't work
[One (M7) General] msmith1991:
Has s-off been accomplished yet?
[One (M7) General] Becool0130:
Nope
[One (M7) General] maxawesome:
A group claims to have achieved S-OFF on the One (http://androidspin.com/2013/05/01/htc-one-s-off-achieved-htc-users-can-now-rejoice-as-well/) but they are charging for the service and you are required to send in your phone, which may indicate that it is a JTAG method.

What we need is a software method. I'm fairly confident this will happen, but I'm basing that on nothing by my perception of HTC with the release of this phone and their activity in the community (including their presence on Reddit and other forums where they are actively collecting user feedback).
[One (M7) General] HandlerExploit:
S-Off is now a thing, I wonder if this will get traction again.

[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
I have a T-Mobile HTC One and I have S-Off'd and applied SuperCID after. I live in a refarmed area (with LTE already popping up in places) so I am willing to risk my HSPA on AWS band (possibly until a T-Mo RUU comes out) for the sake of getting closer to figuring this out lol. Will it help if I try an Developer Edition RUU which will flash over my radio partition? If I lose my HSPA on AWS band, it could mean that it really is only software but if I don't then there could actually be a hardware difference. Anyone get what I'm trying to say? Am I making sense?
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Yes it will help if u flash dev ruu and loose aws we just hit gold :)

Your reverse testing it. If you dont mind do it and report back. The diagnostic menu can tell u what band your connected on,however I dont know htc's codes. For samsung its *#0011#.
[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
I'll be back in a few hours (I'll report back as soon as I do it, trust me) in the meantime anyway you can check how I can see what bands I am using? I'll look too when I get a chance, but two people looking is better than one.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Ok ill check as well ill watch this post for your update

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

In your dialer type

Should bring up all the info and you can see if it's like band 4/ etc

let me know if this works.
[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
Takes me to a special menu, tells me what type of data connection I'm on, but I don't see the band anywhere. Anyone know which field I should be looking at exactly?

Oh, and I get out of work in about three hours. I will flash the RUU as soon as I get out. Hope I can figure out what to look for in the menu by then. If not I'll just go somewhere I know isn't refarmed and see if I only get 2G. Have some places a few minutes from me I can try.

There should be a phone info menu inside, when you enter that code click it and you should see signal strength and other info.

[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Okay I'm assuming your on dev edition RUU now?

Did you notice any difference in speeds or nothing so far?

Let me do some research and I'll post back, did you goto an area with edge and see if it did anything?
[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
Sorry, no. That is just a mike1986 stock euro ROM with my CID changed to HTC__001. But it's T-Mobile radio so my AWS band has definitely been working while on this. The tricky part is what I'm about to do, which is change CID to Dev Edition and flash a Dev Edition RUU, which should flash over my T-Mo radio also. I am home from work now and gonna do it now. Wish me luck! If I lose the AWS band I won't get it back until a T-Mo RUU comes out, but for the sake of experimentation, I won't mind.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Ahh, let me know I'm trying to search for the service menu dialer code for HTC One, but not having luck, for Samsung is *#0011#. There you can force bands etc Good luck :)

[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
Sorry I've been silent, but I'm getting a "Model ID" error in the Dev Edition RUU. I have changed the CID in the bootloader to BS_US001, and even in adb shell getprop "ro.cid" my CID says BS_US001 without any hex editing. Maybe the RUU isn't letting it because the T-Mobile version has a different Model ID? Anyone have any idea?
[One (M7) General] PcFish:
It didn't work using SuperCID? Also, didn't look through the thread but you might have to re-lock bootloader to use an RUU.
[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
The bootloader was locked. I didn't try SuperCID, I tried the Dev Edition's CID to check if OTA worked after. I'll try SuperCID now to see if that works.
[One (M7) General] PatrickVas:
So guys, I have been unable to run the Dev Edition RUU on my T-Mobile One, even with a Dev Edition CID, because of a mismatching Model ID (MID), Mike1986's chart says our T-Mobile Ones are MID PN0712000 but in fact they are PN0713000, so the RUU doesn't work, and I feel even if I get it to work, OTAs will most definitely not work with mismatched MIDs. Anyone know if there is a way to change the MID without a modified HBOOT? Don't wanna go that far, S-Off was far enough lol.

Flashed T-mobile radio on HTC Dev Edition

I've been tracking this forum. After much reading, i decided to gather up the courage to do something.

Moonshine finally released their S-OFF package for the HTC One Dev Edition 1.29.1540.16. Figured it was about time i tried to see if I could enable the 1700mhz HSPA+ band on the Dev Edition.

I live in an area where I used to get 1700 HSPA+ on my Samsung Galaxy s2 T-mobile. But now that I am using the HTC One Dev Edition, I no longer get that band and i constantly bounce from EDGE and HSDPA.

Here is what I did.

1)S-OFF using Moonshine

2)Unlocked Bootloader

3)Backed up current radio in adb shell: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img

4)Copied a T-mobile radio (radio.img) to the root directory of the phone.

5)Flashed T-mobile radio via adb shell: dd if=/sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31

6)Restarted phone.

I am not very tech savvy but here are the Results.

After flashing and using the phone for 3+ hours, It still seem to be bouncing from EDGE to HSDPA. pretty stable at HSDPA though

Still not getting HSPA+ like i did with my galaxy s2 T-mobile.

Oh and i dialed *#*#4636#*#* and set the preferred network type to: CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.

I'll try it in a refarmed T-mobile area soon.

Now, this might be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find any easy explanation as to how to do it -

I flashed the newest available radio a while back, but that caused me to loose my 4G/LTE connection.

I made a topic asking for stock telenor (norway) radio, and an other user sent me his stock backup, in the form of a .img file.

I'm not anywhere near a computer that I can use to go into ADB and push the file, so I was wondering if there was an easy way for me to put my .img file into an already existing .zip radio-update, and get my good old, working radio back, using CWMR to flash it?

Thanks in advance,
[One (M7) General] howardho:
As far as I know no one has been able to successfully get the 1700 band to work on Dev editions. If you have flashed any of the tmobile radios you should not have lost LTE/4G. Are you sure you flashed a tmobile radio?
[One (M7) General] ipwngeek:
I have a norwegian phone, 32GB silver. I believe its the international version? I can't seem to figure out how to get my 4G back... I just flashed a stock telenor (norwegian opperator) radio, that an other user sent me, and still no 4G...

Same question, but now I'll have an M8 Dev Edition

Friends, Romans, Countrymen,

I read through this entire thread and unless I'm mistaken NOT ONE member was able to flash the T-Mobile firmware for 1700 reception onto his or her HTC One M7. Developer Edition. Have and love this phone, running on AT&T SIM, and now my super-spouse is soon to gift me (rumor has it) with the awesome M8 Dev Ed. AT&T has refused to send me a new Nano-SIM until I actually have possession and can take it to an AT&T store. have been itching to switch to T-Mobile and now seems perfect EXCEPT I cannot determine how well the new phone can run in my SE Pennsylvania area. Which leads me to ask:

Will I need the 1700 band to be happy in my area?

If so, has anyone proven a technique to flash the T-Mo radio onto the M8 Dev. Ed, sold directly from HTC?

THANKS so much! You are all awesome and I'm only sorry I haven't contributed more,
