Plese help!

Hi elvisypi,

I'm a little bit desperate with my Sprint HTC one in Argentina, cause we use for 3G UMTS: 850 MHz, so the phone is stuck in EDGE. Is there any way to enable this band in the sprint versio? If not, It's a matter of hard and you suggest to give up, or it is possible to wait until some new release, to enable that frequency?

Anyone who can do the unlock for money?

Thanks in advanced for your help!

Ariel
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about it. It's hardware dependent, not software. The radio in this phone is designed to work with different frequencies. If you can't stand using E you should probably buy another phone ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thebertho:
Link change

The link changed when the M8 was released. It's at htc-one-m7 now instead of just htc-one (which forwards to the M8's page now).

Updating to kitkat

Thanks for the tutorial, I should have waited an extra month before taking my phone to a repair service who did this very same method (I think it is the same, because there was a SIMunlockhelper folder in my HTC ONE and I had updated it to 4.3). My question is- will the sim unlock remain even if I decide to get the OTA update since I'm running stock sense? I have root, but supersu tells me to re-root my device. And is it safe to update my phone when it's rooted? :cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
did everything

Did everything and phone sees SIM but shows limited service "Emergency only". SIM is activated Simple Mobile....also tried activated AT&T and activated Lyca Mobile......nothing seems to work in this region (Baltimore Maryland) any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ludatrick:
I've managed a way to change esn/meid etc still the same thing so I don't think has something to see with blacklist, I even downgraded radio to the 1st radio 1.00.20.0315
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Not being on release radio and having a blacklisted phone seem to be the 2 things causing the most issues, at least from this thread.

If you're trying to use it on a GSM network, the item you would need to change (keep in mind that modifying serial numbers is actually against the law) is the IMEI - GSM networks care diddly squat about ESNs and MEIDs. The IMEI is what the network uses to identify and register the phone. Did you ever have a Sprint corporate store confirm that the phone is clean and clear?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
Haven't changed that yet but I will make sure and not do that today since it is illegal and I will let you know what doesn't happen
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
IMEI can't be changed it's the identifying number of the phone
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
Yes...yes....yes.....jtag riff box.... :)........ I do it all the time....first htc one though.....and confirmed it is running simple mobile right now....data is slow but mms works fine and talk and text. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Glad you got it running. I'll be sure to not report you :laugh:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
Lol...... thanks for keeping me under the radar.....I do a ton of flashing... no third party either with flash to talk or remote squad or any of those guys but that is how I started. I learned CDMA WS... AND DFS AND QPST AND QXDM AND RADIOCOM....... all of those are great tools....... Pretty much flash anything now..... if you or anyone else has questions on flashing feel free to message me I can teamviewer and help you out...... I also have a better method for rooting the sprint mega than kingo since it fails mostly after the NA7 update. Also great results with that phone on pageplus. Let me know
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
My friends know I'm pretty techy/geeky so they're constantly asking me questions. A few have asked about CDMA flashing but that's something I've never learned or gotten into. Maybe I'll have you walk me through one sometime.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
Two best phones to practice on are HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Galaxy3. Most phones follow those models unless you are dealing with Motorola. Let me know always glad to help
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Yeah if I had any of those laying around lol.. Actually I do have my sister's Sprint S3 sitting here because I'm selling it for her haha. I've read bits and pieces here so I'm familiar with the overall process, but never having used any of the programs before... And then knowing/getting SPC/MSL, 16 digit code, Boost profile, etc. It's all just always seemed too complicated to me
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wirelessdimensionsnc:
Very simple aftera couple of dry runs and boost is easiest of all. I can give you links for password and hou how to get mal simply..... If you ever want to learn and have fun son so let me know

Sorry was using voice text but you get the picture

Followed the flash instruction to flash "Stock rooted deodexed 3.04.651.2"

Hi,

I followed instruction to flash "Stock rooted deodexed 3.04.651.2". But when I reboot, the phone just stock at the white screen showing the big word 'htc one'. Mine is Sprint HTC one and I did rooted, bootloader unlocked, S-off. Everything needed were done. Please HELP!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Did you try a factory reset from recovery?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
Boot loop, screen stuck at while screen htc ONE

OP,

Really need your help. I did all the steps and RUU to downgrade does not work for me. RUU said 'unknown error'. Then I tried to flash the ROM directly but after the flash, phone doesn't boot. the phone reboot, shows the Sprint yellow logo screen. Then stop on the white 'htc ONE' screen forever. i've spent almost 2 weeks studying and trying but still can't SIM unlock my Sprint HTC one

I have root, S-off, Android version is 4.4.2

HTC Sense 5.5

Hboot 1-56.0000

Radio 1-00.20.1100

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

No, i didn't try factory reset from recovery. I should try that? Just tried again when i am stuck at the white screen 'htc ONE'. i did a factory reset and wipe all user data. Then reboot system. Just like miracle, now it boot into normal screen. Thanks!

But I cannot find the unlock helper app and play store is not working, Any advice?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Idk why the Play Store wouldn't be working but the unlock helper app obviously wouldn't be installed after a reset - this is the Play link for it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.simunlockhelperfree

Remember you need to be on the earlier ROM or flash the modified zip for the app to work.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
Thanks! Finally make it work now........with a few more reset and reboot.

But I still cannot see GSM network provider under the menu 'available network'.

I did all the steps described like *#*#4634#*#* and pick WCDMA preferred.......
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
I was never able to make it work with an ATT SIM for some reason - only with a T-Mobile one (MVNO). Also make sure you're on the initial release radio.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
I am indeed using T-mobile SIM (PTel mobile which is a virtual network operator using T-Mobile). I can try to find a direct T-mobile SIM and try again. do you think it's worth to try?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Maybe. The one I used was an MVNO too, not direct. Without knowing every single specific step that you did, it's impossible to tell if you might have missed something along the way
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
Here is what I did

1. Root the phone, unlock bootloader, gain S-off (I spent almost one week for this)

2. Follow OP's thread But failed in running RUU

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586704

3. Then follow raclimja's thread to flash Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip to downgrade to 4.1.2 and follow thro' all the steps (step 1-5)

4. Since it doesn't work. I tried flash to bad boyz ROM. But still doesn't work. No T-mobile network

I search around and see some comment saying I must be on initial version of radio. My radio is 1.00.20.1100 (i saw initial is 1.00.20.0315). Screen attached
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
That's your issue. The release radio is the only one that allows for domestic GSM connections
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
Thank you very much, you save my day. Let me try.

Do you know if I downgrade the radio will it brick my phone? I assume you're also using the initial radio :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dafluke24:
If you flash the radio in recovery, it shouldn't brick your phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
I am not using the phone that I performed this on - it was more of a test to see if I could do it and would it work. But I used the release radio, and as you saw, several comments in the thread point to the release radio being the only one that works. I flashed in recovery with no issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
I flashed the initial version of radio and I am so excited to see I can connect to PTEL mobile network!!! (which is Tmobile).

However, I cannot hear any sound. I can make a call or receive a call. But there's no sound at all :(

Do you know what can I do?? Please help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Lawrencechung:
Now I luckily can connect to GSM data. But for voice calling, there's still no sound. I can call someone or receive someone's call, but there's no sound at all. Please help

since i am on stock 4.4.2 and HBOOT is 1.56.0000 so downgrade with provided RUU is not working (showing error 155). searched other threads found someone saying. before RUU downgrade i have to bring HBOOT from 1.56 to 1.55 or lower.

kindly help me in this. or suggest me a thread with good solution. as i am on Soff and plying with HBOOT will directly brick the device.:crying:

I also have the same problem I tried downgrade with provided RUU like 5 times and I got (showing error 155). My device is also 4.4.2 and HBOOT is 1.56.0000. but in the guide it does not say anything to downgrade HBOOT to 1.55. So I assumed there is no need for that.

Is there anything that missing ?????

PLEASEE HELPPP

---UPDATE- ERROR 155 RESOLVED------

ok dowgrading HBOOT 1.56 TO1.55 resolved the ERROR 155 problem

elvisypi,

Can you please add this information to your guide ? Thanks in advance

and where i can find th radio 1.00.20.1100 flashable zip? if someone has it just upload it please

2. You can find a zip by looking in the Android Development forum

How to Unlock

You'll need to downgrade your ROM to 1.29.651.10.

If you are currently on 4.06.651.4 ROM or above, you'll have to first downgrade phone's rom to 3.04.651.2 and then to 1.29.651.10 - two step process

This will give you HBOOT 1.44 where you can use the SIM Unlock Helper to unlock and then run the GSM Fix (to prevent dropping calls and data when you move from one cell tower to other)

cheers!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
1. You do not need to downgrade.

2. The OMADM method is not dependent on HBOOT

3. Even if you did downgrade, you would not need 2 steps to do it.

I would try replacing the file again - make certain that the date on the file matches the one that you download from the post and doesn't match with any other ROM files. Then maybe try using the app instead of the terminal method. If that doesn't work, you could RUU back - either to 4.3 or all the way back to initial release and do it again (maybe using the zip flash method this time).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mastridonicus:
Some questions

First, you guys rock. Thank you.

I have a sprint HTC one, service ends at the end of the month.

I was able to successfully unlock the phone following the instructions.

I activated an AT&T gophone sim about an hour ago and is in the phone.

Set the phone to GSM/UMTS Only and I get an x no bars. Says Limited service on the lock screen.

- I can't choose to search for available networks.

The SIM did pop up a menu asking me to tell it which network that I am on.

The AT&T tech told me that once activated, it will pull the phone off the sprint network, so that should be fine.

I am on the new BadyBoyz rom with Sense 6.

I'm looking for some ideas. Here's what I will be trying in the meantime.

Reset phone to defaults

Going back to Badboyz linked here.

Trying an international rom (to clear the sprint login info).

Other than that, I'm out of ideas. Would happily take some advice. Otherwise, just pass me by.

Again, thanks! This has been great fun.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jimpire:
I followed the link below to downgrade HBOOT from 1.56 to 1.55.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565201

After that I followed the steps below as elvisypi explained in the guide:

-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU.zip (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752930)

-extract zip to a folder on your pc

-boot into bootloader (various ways)

-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader

-from pc, run setup.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock

Also make sure your bootloader is locked as mentioned in the guide. After that you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.2 RUU.

-After you have successfully downgraded your ROM and radio, gained root you can go ahead and use the unlock which is explained in the link below.

Hello again --

I've tried what I listed above -- Still have no bars.

I am on the Release Radio 1.00.20.315

HBOOT 1.44

Stock Android 4.1.3 Sense 5.0

I have both T-Mobile activated SIM and a AT&T activated SIM (took this phone to both carriers to get, they informed me that they put the phones in their pre-paid systems).

Using either, the phone picks up the SIM, Asks me to choose the carrier (The right carrier is at the top) then nothing. No bars.

I've read through this entire thread and others trying things out without luck.

One thing to note is that this phone still has Sprint Service, perhaps that is the problem? Otherwise, I'm open to suggestion. I have unlocked phones that work in both places.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Edde3d:
I noticed on my phone that even thought i went into the settings from the mobile data screen and set it to GSM/UMTS it was still set to CDMA in the hard settings. Open up the dialer and try *#*#4636#*#* and look about half way down and be sure you see that set to GSM only. After i did that my service picked right up. Hopefully that helps you out some.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Edde3d:
Thanks for this. I got everything working good but a few bugs possibly. I did the data drop fix but it still disconnects quite a bit. Even if I'm just at home it will just drop. And for some reason I can't send or receive mms. On T-Mobile, Badboyz 4.4 v1.2. Maybe in the settings somewhere but not sure. Any ideas? :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coc014:
For the mms try changing the access point name. For some reason the default apn on mine was not working, and on my carrier website i've found a new apn to enter. The new apn type is used for both data and mms, instead of having 2 apn, one for mms and one for data.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
Umm you probably don't wanna flash a TMo RUU. Bad idea. Hopefully it wouldn't even let you since they're not even the same device.

Yeah, no MMS is probably an APN thing
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Edde3d:
I have tried quite a few apn changes and still no luck. Made sure I had the right settings in the apn for T-Mobile. have data, text, calls the only thing messed up is mms. Maybe it's a problem on their end and not mine. No biggie I'll survive without mms but I'd rather have everything working lol

adb cannot run as root in production builds

I am trying to unlock another Sprint HTC One.

It's running stock 4.3.

I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone but when I try to get s-off with rumrunner, it sometimes opens up another window saying "adb cannot run as root in production builds', then after "pouring" 8th time rumrunner says to wait 30 seconds, exit rumrunner and try launching it again.

I have already uninstalled any software that could have interrupted this process, firewall and any other kinds of protection are disabled too, but I still can't get s-off.

Even tried to use Linux version of rumrunner on live usb and live cd but none of them worked, I just could not run the rumrunner.

So are there any other ways to get s-off on my HTC One ?

When I put in my Straight Talk sim card (labeled LTE 4G/ HSPA+) it says at the top "new sim card inserted, tap to activate" or something along those lines and it gives me the option of selecting att, tracfone, etc. and no matter what I choose, I get no service at all.

I'm going to assume that the sprint variant of the HTC One just cant be used on straight talk no matter what I do....I haven't actually talked to anyone on here that has a One on Straight Talk.

That was about 10 days ago and since that one time I've only been able to get data on gsm mode. And none in wcdma mode. Makes me wonder how and why this happened and if it did it once for a few hours it can surely do it again. Anyone running T-Mobile had better than Edge service?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iBowToAndroid:
1. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev

2. Reboot phone

3. Load SuperSU zip, modified HTC OMADM zip from #1 in OP, and release radio zip (1.00.20.0315) to storage

4. Reboot to recovery and flash SuperSU and OMADM.

5. Reboot and install HTC One Unlock Helper App (mentioned in OP).

6. Perform SIM unlock via app.

7. Reboot to recovery and flash release radio.

8. Reboot phone and swap SIMs

You do not need to downgrade, although you can if you wish. RUU process is mentioned in OP.
