looks like still a no go :( I had high hopes, but I checked the bootloader and it shows the 0315 radio but the phone still doesn't connect to any network but on global mode it connects back to sprints network
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FullmetalHeart:
All-right I'm getting networks to show in the search but now I get "your sim card is not allowed to connect to this network". I've tried T-mobile and my metropcs card That I use on my S4.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ferrojasaguilar:
I have the exact same problem. Im stuck trying to RUU. The phone just hangs on SENDING and nothing happens! pls someone help me...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
For you two, I would RUU or ROM back to the release software and try that. Make sure 100% that your phones aren't blacklisted either.

I think others were running into this too and needed a different version of the RUU program. Or see if you can find an RUU zip to install via fastboot
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ferrojasaguilar:
I have tried everything, using the RU.exe, flashing the RUU Zip via fastboot and no go! what could be wrong??
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] FullmetalHeart:
I''ve done the ruu before but got the same thing. sim card is not allowed to connect
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] valerii:
done

i figured it out. you have to downgrade the hboot version. i got mine from 1.56 to 1.55 then to 1.44 then the Ruu worked
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
That was going to be my next comment. Glad it's working.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ferrojasaguilar:
Thanks! figured it ot too and was gping to post it here when I read your solution...I downgraded direct from 1.56 to 1.44 though.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

well, I have another issue however... Im on 4.1.2 and completed the unlock process with the simunlockhelper app from the playstore, Went into the 4636 men and chaged to WCDMA PREFERRED....The thing is that everytime I boot the phone I loose the unlock and have to enter the 4636 menu for it to be active again... any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] djquick:
Would you be kind enough to tell me or link me to the files you used to downgrade the hboot? I've been working on this for the past 7 hours; unlocked bootloader, s-off, rooted without a hitch. Then when I tried to downgrade the rom, nothing worked. I tried stock roms though adb and custom recovery, custom ROMs, Guru reset roms, nothing works. I Google searched for hboot 1.55 and 1.44 files to flash and nothing. Everytime I tried to flash a stock RUU rom, it would get stuck at sending then give me an error. When I tried through fastboot, I get cid error or something. My cid is spcs_001. I even changed the cid to 11111111 and still got the same errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ATT

So I have done all the steps and I successfully put in a T-Mobile Sim and was able to make calls and text which was really awesome! I now want to connect to At&t as this is the company I really want. I am on the release radio and I am running viper 1.0 rom which is based off of 1.29.651.10 I believe so It should be working. I put my device in airplane mode and then push the simcard right after disabling airplane mode then I rush to the search for network options, and it does find At&t, however, after trying to register, it says "sim card is not allowed to connect to this network" Im not sure why so im hoping someone on here can help me out! my details are under. I really want this to work on At&t as I was given 7 days by sprint to switch my number to another carrier due to excessive roaming a few months ago. If i dont then I will lose my number forever!!!!!!

edit: also ive tried RUU'ing to 4.2.1 with the file in OP however, it stays hanging at "Sending...." and I did downgrade to hboot 1.44 as the guys behind this post have mentioned worked, but it has not for me so that is why I have not gotten to RUUing back to that stock firmware, so instead I am trying it with Viper rom.Maybe there is a certain way of downgrading to hboot 1.44 that needs to be done, but i just found a hboot 1.44 file and flashed it through fastboot.

Hboot1.44

Radio- .0315

Os-1.29.651.10

Unlocking

hi, i want to buy a sprint htc one m7 on ebay, if I follow this guide and sucessfully unlock which bands would allow me to use for HSDPA? I wanna make sure I can use it with in the 900.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Several people have reported failure with ATT whereas T-Mobile worked. Could be a carrier thing or you might need a different SIM

You can use all the bands that the phone supports, which you can find if you look up the specs
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] monstaX:
!

Update:

So in fsatboot i used the command fastboot getvar mainver, and i got 3.04.xxx.xx and relaiized i wasnt really on 1.29.651.10 which has been known to work with at&t. So I flashed the rumrunner hboot I was supposed to have and then I RUU'd with the 1.29.651.10 from the OP. It worked! Now i tried putting the at&t sim, but I realized I forgot I wasnt on a custom rom so the search for networks opotions were highlighted and unclickable! So later I am going to try it, hopefully it works.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DeekeiSil80:
You can still be on the stock Sprint Rom and get signal and data working. When I was working with my m7 d3rp was working pretty good. And to get the connectivity to drop less I use QPST to changed ruim available to ruim only. I was getting good connection to data with working mms and web. But again different areas I would go to it would drop and I'd have to reconnect.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dlipford370:
Hey guys,

Thanks for the plethora of information!

So I have my unlocked Sprint Htc One, using T-Mobile (more technically PTEL) - and I read through the first 17 pages, and didn't see any mention of *#*#4636#*#* going to "phone testing" then phone information - then setting preferred network type. When I set mine up, and I was following a tutorial, I was told to put mine in WCDMA Preferred. This was a little odd to me, because I only use GSM bands with my PTEL sim card.

Regardless, everything works, and I have data. Yeah, the data drops every now and again, but its pretty awesome for the most part.

The question I'm wondering is, after putting in the *#*#4636#*#* code, and setting preferred network. Is this the exact same thing as when you go into mobile network settings, and chance the network mode? Because I'm pretty sure I didn't change that, and that is set on GSM/UMTS only within the mobile network settings option.

Kind of wondering what you guys think, or if I changed my settings in the "phone testing" preferred network area, to GSM only if it would make a difference? Also, I was kind of wondering why this is never mentioned in the tutorial of the OP. I mean, it was something I had to do to get my phone working, and I'm pretty sure that phone testing menu does something different, the preferred network, than just what you select in the GSM/UMTS within the mobile network settings option.

First, yo have to download either 1.54 or 1.55 Hboot, look for it here in the forum, then using fastboot commands you flash the hboot file and then the Ruu process will work. Thats it. Good luck!

If you have a Sprint HTC One Sim Unlocked, and are using T-Mobile Sim Card, and are getting connected, but occasionally losing data, and just straight up reception all together, please check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2647305 .

No reception

I followed all the instructions, SIM seems to be unlocked, but I can't still get any reception (no network) with a T-Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM cards... Does anybody have a clue what to do? I wouldn't mind paying to get this issue resolved.

My current setup: Sprint M7, Bad Boys rom, hboot 1.55 s-off, rooted, applied connection fix, sim unlock...

Also tried with stock RUU from instructions, hboot 1.44 closely following instructions, same thing.

I'm desperate, please help. Again, I really don't mind paying for this...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] valerii:
You can dial *#*#4636#*#* and from phone info change the preffered type of network. Try each of them until you have signal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrdja:
Thanks! I did, no luck. Looks like the IMEI isn't blacklisted, but is still "active" with Sprint so that might be a problem... Since the phone's previous owner has died, not sure what to do with that...

I know that XDA frowns upon any IMEI repair or cloning questions so I'm not going to even ask.

Other than that, phone notices that SIM card is entered and asks me to complete setup with certain preferred types of network, but still no dice after that - sometimes I get No Network, sometimes Emergency Calls Only, but that's it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] valerii:
You need to update your radio version, or to downgrade it. Read this forum and youll find your answer.

It being active shouldn't be a problem. Now, if that account is suspended due to nonpayment, you may have something there. Did you confirm with Sprint itself that the ESN is clean?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrdja:
I was thinking the same... The problem is that the account owner is (literally) dead, they wouldn't give me any info...

I brought the death certificate to Sprint today, they told me they would get back to me lol...

Hello guys, I need help again...

Finaly i have S-off my sprint htc one with firewater, downgrade the rom with the official RUU and unlock the sim.

After that i have put the Bad boys rom to have a better rom on gsm network and forced roaming.

The calls and sms work fine but the problem is that the phone can't connect to the mobile data.

I live in belgium with the carrier Proximus. who use these frequencies: GSM 900/1800 (GSM 2G) et W-CDMA 2100 (en 3G UTMS). 4G is on 1800.

I see that htc one sprint connect to:

2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G - UMTS/ HSPA: 1900/2100 MHz (Sprint)

3G - CDMA: 800/1900 MHz (Sprint)

4G - LTE: 1900 MHz (Sprint)

So my phone could connect to edge with 900 and 1800 band and to the 3G with UMTS 2100, is it correct?

But i have no connection...

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot

Htc one sprint

Thanks in advance... This method works and is easy to follow. This is what I have:

HTC ONE SPRINT

went from Android 4.3 to 4.1.2

Now 1.29.651.10

I downgraded ROM and apply the SIM Unlock patch. Everything works fine. My questions are, How do I update my OS again to 4.3 without losing my Sim Unlock, whether it be OTA or actually plugging the phone in and using the HTC Sync manager !?

How can I update safely without losing my Sim unlock.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
You won't loose your sim unlock, I have written it. You can go ahead and flash a custom ROM, or if you have a locked bootloader you can update with OTA. SIM unlock is PERMANENT, but it works only with sense ROMs
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ABRsanta:
Sounds good. As of right now Im:

S-Off

Boot Unlocked

I tried doing OTA and im able to download the update but once it reboots it wont install, since is going dirrectly to TWRP... So I will lock up the bootloader and continue with the update maybe that works. after that I will plug the phone in the computer and do as many updates to the OS as I can. thanks again.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
You can't update with OTA with a custom recovery, you need the stock recovery. However I don't suggest the OTA way, it's a bit risky, you better runa ruu, it has stock recovery included and it's much safer. You need to lock the bootloader before doing so.

OK I can't unlock unless I have root and I can't get root unless I unlock. Nice!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] insuusvenerati:
You don't need root to unlock. Just access to fastboot. After unlock you install custom recovery. Then you root using the custom recovery

It's like the first basic thing you learn. There must be thousands of threads on this so I highly doubt you searched. Anyway just copy the file to your phone's sd card and than reboot into recovery.

I have an Sprint HTC One which is out of contract. (cancelled my contract, paid early termination fee and moved to Tmobile, for the best)

I was going to use the One for my phone on T-Mobile but I cannot get it sim-unlocked.

I got S-Off, flashed the RUU in step 3, and now I have:

----------------------------------

Hardware Version: 0004

Android: 4.1.2

Sense: 5.0

Software Version: 1.29.651.10

When I do the "am ..." command, it runs, freezes for a bit, comes back on, I restart, I do the *#*#4636#*#* trick to switch to GSM only and I get no signal.

I tried the whole process with Sprint SIM, Tmobile Sim and an international SIM.

I tried running the -viperboy-'s Sprint UnlockerHelper app. It goes through the process and reports that the "LOG IS EMPTY" and asks if I ran the program.

I'm stuck here and I'll appreciate it if you could help.
