New RUU

So has anyone tried the new T-Mobile RUU from HTC on the AT&T HTC One? (with T-Mobile cid and T-Mobile model id)

Does it enable the AWS HSPA+ bands?
[One (M7) General] SaHiLzZ:
Yes that was attempted.
[One (M7) General] altoprime:
Verdict?

So is everyone in consensus that T-Mobile HTC One has different HARDWARE then the AT&T HTC One and therefore the HSPA+ AWS bands cannot be enabled on the AT&T version?
[One (M7) General] scotty1223:
i dont think the consenseus is that the hardware is different,but i think it is agreed that the hardware restrictions are at a deep level that we cannot easily (maybe not at all) change/access.

Just wanted to drop by and say I've been following this problem for awhile (have an At&t phone that I'm using on t-mobile) and I've just had awful reception.

Anyways for whatever reason I hadn't been able to update my radio which there seems to be some anecdotal improvement with. Today I updated to the latest radio followed by the the "un-official" T-mobile 4.3 w/ Sense 5.5 (in the development thread) and I've definitely seen some signficant improvement- in my apartment where I would occasionally see very weak 4G LTE and mediocre 2g, I now see strong (4/5 bar) 4G and although I'd like to be optimistic that my phone is utilizing the 1700 band now I'm guessing this isn't the case based on other posts. I've been searching around and I can't seem to find a simple way to see the frequency of bands being utilized by the phone. Can anyone explain how to do this or point me to where there are directions?

What is your Baseband version?
[One (M7) General] jchinai:
4a.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04l

Also, I'm usingthis rom by Behold_this which suggested I use that base band and I believe is the latest.
[One (M7) General] jkrell:
That's the radio that comes with the 3.62.401.1 firmware. Strange that it's working well for you; I had it after updating and it wouldn't let me select GSM/WCDMA/LTE (I could select it but as soon as I backed out of Settings, it reverted to GSM/WCDMA). I'm on AT&T (AIO Wireless) because I couldn't get a decent connection on T-Mobile. I reverted back to the latest AT&T radio and it's working fine now.

If T-Mobile were to work, I'd come back in a heartbeat -- the pricing of T-Mobile's plans are much better than anyone else. Have you tested your phone in multiple locations? What you report seems like a dramatic improvement.
[One (M7) General] Behold_this:
Not strange at all, it's actually the radio that comes with the T Mobile 3.24.531.3 update.

4a.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04l = 3.24.531.3, T-Mobile

[One (M7) General] jchinai:
Well I am in nyc so I'm not sure how the my tower situation compares to your area. This is definitely an area where t-mobile is rapidly expanding their LTE coverage but there are still lots of holes where "4g" is very useful to have.

Anyways, should I assume that there is no way to actually tell if I'm connected over 1700mhz AWS at any point? I've downloaded a few apps that provide network information but beyond telling me if my network it LTE of HSDPA I can't seem to find more details. How is everyone reaching the conclusion that their 1700 bands aren't activating? Just seeing that other phones have better reception in certain areas?
[One (M7) General] jkrell:
I might back up my phone at some point and play with this. I have a spare T-Mobile SIM lying around. I'm in Chicago so we're supposed to be expanding here as well but "rapidly" is not an adverb that I'd use with respect to T-Mobile's promised network improvements.

Would be curious if others have seen any improvements; someone seemed to suggest above that no improvements have been gained, but he/she didn't elaborate.

you could always go to straight talk. the $45 plan is not as cheap as t mobile's $30 5 gb monthly 4g plan,but is unlimited everything and youll still have use of LTE. while its not truly unlimited high speed,the 2gb they start throttling you at is still a better price than aio's 2gb or 7gb plans

No idea. People on this thread seemed to think it would show it.
[One (M7) General] tjsooley:
I can verify On PAC for M7UL running on a att one converted to GOOGLE edition. The app doe not show band number or band
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I don't know about band, but on my TMO version, It will say HSPA+ for the TMO bands under "Network Type". I saw it switch briefly a moment ago (right now I'm in an LTE area, but it sometimes connects at TMO "4G").

So I think that if you see HSPA+ in Network Type, the TMO radio is in operation.

EDIT: Actually, looking at the screenshot, it says HSDPA and still shows "4G" at the top, which is the normal TMO 4G network (I think, I suppose it could be reframed 1900). But I definitely saw HSPA+ for a couple of seconds.

I hope someone has luck figuring this out. I went with the TMO over the dev due to my fears this would not work.

SECOND EDIT: Note that this is not what I consider TMO LTE. When that happens the icon says 4G, but has a small LTE underneath it.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
A) It's "refarmed" (not trying to be nitpicky, just correcting you because I see this error a lot).

B) Both AWS and 1900 MHz will both display "4G". There's no way to tell visually unless you get a band number or frequency. I know that on Samsung devices there's a dialer code to do that, but it's Samsung-specific (only Touchwiz ROMs). I don't know of an equivalent menu or third-party app for HTC devices that will do the same.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
1. Thanks, I've seen both spellings, but this one passed my Firefox spell check.

2. I suspect I'm on refarmed; it is too slow to be true TMO high speeds. Plus I did see that HSPA+ icon for a few seconds.

In the hopes it will be helpful, here is a screenshot with LTE connected.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
Doesn't really help because AT&T devices work on T-Mobile LTE out of the box. I know you're on AWS LTE. But I can't tell from the app; I just know it because that's what T-Mobile uses. You have to go into the network mode settings and put it in GSM/WCDMA mode to turn off LTE if you want to know what frequency you're using for 4G (plus you need some app to tell you).

HSPA+ 21.6 Mb/s when it is transferring data, UMTS 384 kb/s when idle.

There's still no way to know if its on Band IV or not though. When I force my S3 to the 1700 band WCDMA only, it shows HSPA+ 21.6 Mb/s when Denver is a 42 Mb/s market on Band IV.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
HSPA+ 21 Mbps means it's not DC-HSPA+ (42 Mbps) which means it's 1900 MHz, not 1700/2100 MHz (AWS).

EDIT: Reread your post.
[One (M7) General] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah. My curiosity is whether or not this app is able to detect DC-HSPA+

It would be useless in refarmed markets if it can not. Last I checked, the T-Mobile S3 has DC-HSPA+ in lieu of LTE and I've gotten download speeds of over 20Mbps on that device which would suggest this as well. It is quite possible that there is no way to accurately assess the network speed without having direct access to the radio state like Samsung offers.

I am also able to use T-Mobile HSPA+ and LTE with my Bell Canada (AT&T) HTC One with the latest firmware upgrade.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
And it didn't work before? It could be that they rolled out 1900 MHz in your area. We'll never know until someone figures out how to check what frequency the phone is using.
[One (M7) General] veritasxe:
Nope, tried it on Wind Mobile and Mobilicity that run the same frequency as T-Mobile, but I was never able to connect to the networks. Just popped in a t-mo sim today and it was able to connect to HSPA+ and LTE.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
That means that you're on refarmed HSPA+. T-Mobile uses 1900 MHz in a lot of areas now in addition to AWS (1700/2100 MHz) for HSPA+. Wind and Mobilicity use AWS. That explains why you're getting service on T-Mobile but not them.
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
OK, as requested, I finally got screen shots on HSPA+. For some reason LTE is not operating here this morning.
[One (M7) General] kevace1:
Hey I've just read this thread from beggining to end and have the att one, and went to T-Mobile. I have downloaded the network app mentioned a couple of pages ago, I live in NYC, where they have refarmed the 1900 band. I drop to EDGE a lot, but mostly more in rural area as I drive around. So I'm pretty sure it's because of that missing 1700 WCDMA. Who would know if tmobile still uses that band for H+ and not decomission it to make room for LTE? Anyways, here is a screen shot of me in "4G" with the network app.......

I'm gonna flash the tmo RUU and see what happens, I know some have said that it foes not fix our issue but I just wanna see if I get better service..
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
That is reframed 1900.

EDIT: Not everyone is upgrading their phones, so I think they need the HSPA+ for those legacy phones that don't have LTE.
[One (M7) General] EtherealRemnant:
Not only that but the UMTS/HSPA+ network will be sticking around for the foreseeable future as they decommission the old GSM/EDGE network - VoLTE is going to be awhile and I can't see them killing all of the benefits of UMTS and forcing everyone back to ****ty GSM voice ;)

[One (M7) General] matthewstice:
Virgin and Fido are just as much as a rip off..80$ for max 3 GB data on virgin..nearly same on Fido..I use a thing called a sling box to watch my TV from home on my phone..I need at least 6gb..

Wind is 10gb for 40$

Virgin is bell and Fido is rogers BTW..just parent companies..fake competition..just as kudoo is telus..Canadian wireless is a joke hense why the feds wanted Verizon to come to Canada to add competition and lower prices..they decided not to because of rogers and telus and bell complaining and union resistance..Canadians pay some of the highest rates for data and cellular service in the world..because of the big 3 oligopoly...

Ya I'm assuming it won't be done anytime soon..so I'll just keep the phone for WiFi use and movies etc..maybe sell it at a future time..no way I'm gonna pay up the ass to the big 3(which is chatr.telus.kudoo.bell.Fido.rogers and virgin)

[One (M7) General] Lowlywurm:
Just read thread start to finish.

One question:

In areas where T-Mobile USA has not only refarmed HSPA+ to 1900Mhz but also decided to roll out DC-HSPA+42 on 1900, can my Developer Edition One with stock DE radio make use of the full 42.2 mbps, or is it stuck at 21.1?

(Even if T-Mobile isn't actually deploying 42 mbps on 1900 anywhere, I'd still like to know if the device is capable of it.)

Thanks.

*P. S. I will totally throw $50 into the bounty pot.*
[One (M7) General] osmosizzz:
Yeah the one should be able to support 42.2 on 1900 band.
[One (M7) General] Lowlywurm:
Thanks, Osmosizzz.

Followup question: Around NJ USA, T-Mobile has been doing a bang up job of rolling out fast LTE and also refarming H+ to PCS. But I can't tell if it's 21.1 or Dual Carrier 42.2. So if the device is getting 9-12 mbps download when it has the full 5 bars of HSPA+, does that sound more like 21 or 42?

Thanks everyone.
[One (M7) General] Product F(RED):
Refarmed is not DC-HSPA+ (42 Mbps) yet. I can confirm because here in NYC, if I disable the AWS mod on my AT&T S4 or manually switch it to 1900 MHz, it doesn't say "DC_HSPA+" in the debug menu when data is transferring. When connected to AWS, it does.

No. GPE HTC One doesn't support AWS anyways. Stupid decision by HTC if you ask me since it's an off contract device. LTE will work though, and if you're in an LTE area and those areas are usually refarmed anyways (running on 1900 MHz) for 4G.

Guys it shouldn't be that hard, someone needs to get a T-mobile version or a version that has those bands, and using Qualcomm software make a backup copy it, like they did with the samsung version, then whoever is providing the dump file from that phone can remove his/her imei from the file and provide it here, make the changes whatever it is, backup your original, then restore it with the t-mobile or other version that supports the AWS and flash it on the non T-mobile version and its done.

Common guys you can do it. Its not that hard, if we put our minds together we can make it happen.

Sure I'll do it, someone provide me a T-Mobile or a AWS M7 phone, and I will do the complete dump file, change the values and have it working, this is not the first time I have done this before with another phone that didnt have the band. No need to get all mad about it. We are a team here, its not "ME" only.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Exactly, this is what im taking about, its not that its very hard, its easy, the issue is that nobody has the t-mobile version thats willing to do a dump, once you have that, you load it up in the program, dump the file out, and then change values and restore it on a non AWS phone and there you have it.
[One (M7) General] MegaMan X:
I actually have a HTC One originally from Wind Mobile (an AWS HSPA Carrier in Canada). So if you really want to get those AWS bands unlocked, you should provide me with some instructions.

I have it S-off, Bootloader Unlocked, and Super CID it as well. I actually installed 6.06.401.5 firmware & accompanying factory HTC Sense 4.4.3 rom as well.

If I type in *#*#8778#*#* in the dial/caller app.. Nothing happens. This is step 3, and I can't get anything further. What did you do on your M7 to enable diag mode?
[One (M7) General] ayoshidage:
It's hard to do it when I don't have the device, but you can follow a guide of another phone. Procedure is also the same the most important is to get into diag mode and have a com port installed. This requires the drivers. Then once you get the program detecting ur phone port follow this. http://www.s3forums.com/forum/galax...pst-backup-your-nv-data-imei-us-variants.html
[One (M7) General] MegaMan X:
Well.. I started this thread to see if anyone could do anything about it, and it's just not that easy.

And what do you mean "It's hard to do it when I don't have the device"

You have a M7 yes? If you don't, why would you be interested in this thread? You yourself should figure out how to get into Diag mode, then tell me how to do it. Don't just keep posting threads to other places. It's not very helpful at all.

Again, I'm more than interested in helping other people out with my output, but there really isn't any incentive for me to help you since I already own an AWS capable M7.
[One (M7) General] ayoshidage:
What I mean is, I need to have AWS device in order for me to try it out, I have the Canadian version of the M7, and im also trying to find a way to make the AWS band work. Cause my carrier is AWS, so thats the problem. I am very good at solving this problem, but like I said, im not a master at HTC I know more about Samsung, basically I would need something to try it a T-Mobile, if someone here can guide you, since im sure lots of people know how to make your phone work in the QPST and find a come port, then once you have established that, add the com port where the phone is on, and then click backup QPST and then, it should back it up, then remove your IMEI from that file section replace it with all XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX so we know where the IMEI was in the file. And thats it, once we have that backup of your phone, we can start working on it, whoever wants to team up with me and find a way to do this, lets do it.
