[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] teiglin:
Of course it's not hard, especially with current gen basebands, to support a full range of UMTS frequencies. Network operators get OEMs to restrict bands to make buying their subsidized phones less desirable to other operators, i.e. it makes it harder for someone to move from AT&T to T-Mobile. This is an easy business decision for the operators and OEMs don't seem to care much, since I doubt many consumers even know that they should expect their GSM phone from AT&T to work on another GSM network. I remember some people on twitter earlier aptly likening it to DRM--its only purpose is to make their customers' lives more difficult. The fact that Google has supported pentaband UMTS on the Nexus 4/7 and Galaxy Nexus is a great reason to love them, but I digress.

As for granting UMTS over AWS to the AT&T One, it seems pretty unlikely. It's already been shown to be not as simple as a radio flash, and I haven't heard of anyone successfully adding new bands to MDM9x15 devices the way they did with earlier basebands like on US GS2 variants. It's possible that there is some obscure configuration point in our firmware somewhere that will enable such support--and I'm sure there are people out there digging--but I'm not holding my breath, personally.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
Oh I agree with you completely but stranger things have happened like at&t S3s having hidden AWS LTE support... all it takes to activate is a special ROM/radio/bootloader/recovery set that T-Mobile made to test their LTE network... flashes right over the I747 via Odin and unlocks AWS HSPA and LTE. And the Nexus 4 AWS LTE hack too.

Its still annoying... I think we will start to see more compatibility coming up though for roaming revenue purposes... At least between at&t and T-Mobile. I guess we will see. I am waiting to see what comes of the mysterious LG D810 that is running the Snapdragon 800 before deciding on my next device but I'm almost 100% sure I will be passing the GS4 up though.

I thought you could not factory unlocked phones in the USA that were manufactured after Jan 26. 2013 unless the carrier unlocked them? Or is this over now because I'm getting my ONE today and was curious

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Jackasaur:
The OP is talking about Bootloader unlock, you're talking about network unlock. It's not illegal to get network unlock if it is through your provider, I believe the whole no unlocking thing has more to do with 3rd party unlockers.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] veliksam:
Anyways if the government told you that it's against the law to unlock your toilet so you could take a $hit, would you listen to them or would you just unlock the door and take a $hit anyways? I'll choose the latter thank you ;)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
SIM unlocking a phone is not a bodily function, so I don't think your example applies.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] veliksam:
I know the two actions are completely different. My point was that a law against unlocking your mobile device would be as stupid as not being allowed to perform a regular "bodily function". It's just a stupid law that was lobbied by the contract sucking mobile carriers. The actual phone manufacturers could care less. Another example is: if you buy a car and have it financed then being told you can't add custom wheels or exhaust system. That's a good example right?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Look, I don't particularly like the rule, but if I need my phone unlocked tmobile will provide a code. The carriers subsidize the phones, even tmo through their zero interest loans. So from their perspective it makes sense.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
T-Mobile isn't subsidizing AT ALL now, you pay full retail for any device. They should *HAVE* to provide unlock codes right off the bat.

And they do -

Devices Purchased at Full Retail Price

If you paid full retail price for an eligible device:

T-Mobile will provide the SIM unlock code as long as:

Your T-Mobile account is in good standing; and

The device has been completely paid for (you must fax the proof of purchase to T-Mobile).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
They are subsidizing the cost of the loan. The unlock is only available if you have paid the phone off.

They are charging zero percent interest on a consumer item.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
They're not really subsidizing anything... You can just buy it outright... However, I'm a bit enraged after doing some more digging:

Devices with Postpaid Plans

If you have a Postpaid Plan on an eligible device, T-Mobile will provide the SIM unlock code upon request as long as:

Your T-Mobile account is in good standing;

You have a minimum of 40 consecutive days of active service with T-Mobile;

You did not request an unlock code in the last 90 days (except in connection with a device exchange or upgrade);

The device has not been reported as lost or stolen;

T-Mobile has verified usage of the IMEI applicable to the device; and

The device has been completely paid for.

Exception: Classic plan devices must exceed 18 months since activation.

So even if you pay it off in full, you still have to have a minimum of 40 days of service AND you can't have requested an unlock code in the last 90 days... Even though you just paid the same price you would have from the manufacturer... WTF? But Classic customers really get screwed.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] milan03:
Oh great... I'm prepaid... What do I do?!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
If you have a Prepaid Plan or Pay In Advance on an eligible device:

T-Mobile will provide the SIM unlock code upon request as long as:

Your T-Mobile account is in good standing;

You have a minimum of 60 consecutive days of active service with T-Mobile;

You have either an account balance of at least $50.00 or a prior refill within the last 30 days;

The device has not been reported as lost or stolen;

T-Mobile has verified usage of the IMEI applicable to the device; and

The device has been completely paid for.

Unless purchased at a T-Mobile-branded store or from a T-Mobile national retailer, for up to 180 days after activation, devices will only work on the T-Mobile network with the SIMs included at activation.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I suppose you think free money grows on trees? That zero interest is a subsidy for the phone.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
Woohoo, it costs them 20 bucks. Hooray?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
Interest for 24 months. I haven't worked out the cost.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] milan03:
Oh awesome! Thank you!:good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] EtherealRemnant:
My point is that its minimal all things considered. Besides, they won't approve just anybody for EIP anyway. A good number of customers will have to pay full price - and in that case, the customer is probably used to it with Cricket/Metro/insert-prepaid-MVNO-here as it is.

Anyway, T-Mobile has some stupid unlocking policies in place... especially with overseas usage...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
If you pay full price up front, there is no loan and there is no subsidy. I own the phone, T-Mobile should be required to give me the unlock code.

I've been trying to get mine unlocked for the past week. The public facing policy states the only two requirements for devices paid in full is an account in good standing and you need to fax the receipt. I qualify for both. I've had 2 requests come back saying I need to wait out my 40 day buyers remorse period, which is bull****, since their policy doesn't say anything about that.

They claim they have new updated policy dated April 22nd, and since I submitted the request on the 23rd, I'm out of luck. I pointed out, I bought the phone on the 19th, when the last policy was in effect (and, really, it still should be, since it's on their website currently), that they should provide the code.

I've email Mr. Legere (not that he'll read it or act on it), and I've got a call from 3rd level escalations on Tuesday morning about this.

I don't think anything will come of this, but I hope to get a credit on my bill for all of my trouble. I'll just buy an unlock code online, or I'll bootloader unlock, and calculate the damn thing myself.

I was actually able to unlock my Note 2 without downgrading the ROM, I just downgraded the modem and it worked.

This, but you won't see lawmakers pressing for legislation to get that made law. They'd rather suck up to their corporate buddies. They shouldn't be able to finalize the sale without asking you if you want your phone unlocked. Or even going so far as making it a requirement to SIM unlock ALL phones that are paid in full at time of purchase.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
If you can return the phone within 40 days, then it makes sense that they won't provide the unlock code. What if you unlock the phone and then send it back? It seems reasonable to me.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
I'm sure they can relock it.

Anyways, $10 later and mine is unlocked. I'll let T-Mobile managers fumble about, and see what they tell me when they call back.

You might not want to advertise that. It is against xda rules to promote illegal activity, and unlocking without carrier permission is illegal in the us. You could get banned from xda...

I have not promoted anything, not told anyone what they should do, but as I've said before, I own my phone.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
It is no different than posting about warez. Hey, no skin off my back, just trying to let you know.

There are no laws of which I'm aware that prohibit rooting phones. It just invalidates the warranty, which is a private contact matter between the customer and the phone owner.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
Except it is, I didn't post links, how-tos... in fact, I didn't even post what I did, you just assumed.

The same DMCA restrictions on limiting SIM unlocking phones also prohibit rooting tablets. Strange, I know, but true. So, a huge swath of XDA is discussions on "illegal" matters. Both are absurd.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
Excellent, sounds like they treated you right. It'd be nice if they didn't jerk around the rest of us. Did you have to fax in your receipt?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jaypr9:
I just ordered HTC One from T-Mobile. So am I understanding this right? Does the T-Mobile version have more radios which allow it to work 1700 + the radios to work on att fully if needed ?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] teiglin:
Yes, your One has all the bands that the AT&T version does in addition to UMTS over AWS. So if you SIM unlock your phone then you can use it on AT&T or one of its MVNOs and it will get both HSPA+ and LTE where available.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Crazysah:
Do I just call them up to get this done?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
That's the idea. As long as you meet all their requirements, then there should be no problem. However, you may have trouble, since it's still within the return window.

So, last week, I send the CEO of T-Mobile an email about how disappointed I was in their customer service, how all the CSRs were telling me no problem, and I kept resubmitting the unlock request, and faxing the receipt, only to be denied.

To my complete surprise, someone from his team called me. :D He said that you have to be outside the return period (which I don't like, but can understand). I'm not sure why the denial emails said 40 days, but he said it should be 14 days. He then pushed through the request for me. I should have just waited a while longer. Score one :good: for Mr. Legere (or his secretary) reading email and actually getting back to me. I thought for sure I'd just get a form letter response, if anything at all, never expected a call. Other than this unlock snafu, I've not had any trouble with T-Mobile (outside of coverage issues).

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] oryan_dunn:
I emailed the T-Mobile CEO with a politely worded letter. Someone from his office called and pushed through the unlock request. They just updated the policy online, to say if you're post-paid, that you have to wait 40 days after device purchase, which is COMPLETE BS, since they also have a section for devices paid in full, that does not have that requirement.

that means that the radio update failed.

if you boot your device into bootloader mode ( press power + action key simultanuously, while resetting )

put it in it's cradle,

your screen should say 'USB' on the top, and '1.06' ( or another version ) on the bottom.

and run the upgrade again.

after about 2-3 minutes the upgrade will start again.
