Not to bump a really ols thread..

But I'm getting a OnePlus One 64GB Sandstone black shipped to me from Oppomart in the coming weeks. This means that its the Chinese version which I am totally aware of. I'll just unlock the bootloader, reflash CM11S (44S) and then TWRP and probably root and wait for 12S.

My question is has anyone had any troubles using Optus in the Chinese version of the OnePlus One? I'm currently with amaysim on their unlimited plan (5GB, unlimited calls, SMS and MMS, $44) and I'm not looking to change that, I get service on my Nexus 5 that I am currently using and it seems that the bands are compatible but before I go and order I thought I'd ask.

Thanks! :D
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
You won't have any problems. The Chinese model is identical to the international model apart from one LTE band, which doesn't affect Optus coverage.

If you need a guide on unlocking your bootloader and all that I have one here:

Aha! That's what I thought! Just thought it's better to make sure than to be sorry :P So from what I have gathered then flashing 11S via a factory image will then allow me to have full OTA functions of 11S and would be the same as the international One?
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Yeah that's right, there is a flashable CM11S ROM zip but you're better off flashing the fastboot images because this'll ensure that all your firmware is correct (which flashing the ROM zip won't do).

Hi guys,

I have a bit of a problem my second Oneplus broke and I'm in Australia now.

I contacted Oneplus they want to replace it and they would pick it up but not from Australia. So I either have to get it to Europe for them to pick it up. So they gave me the address to ship it myself.

I went to the DHL depot at Sydney airport they said it would cost me $150 (AUD), I'm not planning on going back to europe again and that price is crazy.

Australia Post doesn't want to ship it because it has a battery in it.

Do you guys know a cheap solution to get it either to Hong Kong or Belgium or the UK?

(I'm currently near Innisfail, Queensland)
[ONE General] vantt1:
Might be bit of a late reply but here goes...

Amaysim only uses Optus' 3G network. It doesn't have 4G, so it won't be a problem! I'm on the same plan and don't have any coverage issues, but mine's a global version.

Check out Pack & Send. They ship lithium ion batteries, and at around $40-$50 (shipping to Hong Kong's cheaper, Europe is more expensive).
[ONE General] mutanti:
Got mine through Gearbest for $480 Australian Delivered, as soon as I got it flashed the CM11S Rom. Been working perfect for around 3 Months now. Battery is great provided I disable skype as it chews the battery. No Complaints get an easy 2 days out of battery.. So Far Fantastic..

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a 64gb OPO, I live in Melbourne.

Whats the cheapest you guys have got it for? I found a few on eBay brand new for $500 and ships within the week
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Buy it directly from OnePlus, use Shipito to get it here. You'll pay ~$400 for it.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE General] GalaxyWhy:
$400 USD im assuming, which means it'll be about $515 AUD :/

I think ill just get it off eBay then for $507, im just worried about warranty n such...
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
Nope, I've bought two of these last year and I paid about $400AUD each including the extra shipping charges.

Bought mine last year during a 15 or 20% off ebay sale for about $360. Obviously the aud was way better back then which helped.

[ONE General] Denisuu:
Thanks mate! I contacted them it's much more expensive than that. :(

Anyway I posted here hopefully anyone else knows a solution.

Quote from Pack & Send:
[ONE General] vantt1:
Defiant indeed.

So how much did the quote end up being? I just got a rough estimate from their quote estimation thing for a package roughly the size, weight and value of a OnePlus One and its box. $125???? Insane.

Oh yes, and I recently switched to an Optus (non-Amaysim) 4G plan. The OnePlus One works on LTE, but it can't connect to data as reliably as the iPhone 6. Sometimes where the iPhone can connect instantly, the OnePlus One takes forever. It shouldn't be a problem if you keep data on all the time, but I prefer to turn it off when not in use to conserve battery.
[ONE General] gtda:
Hey guys, just thought I'd share my experience so far with OnePlus One. I have been a Samsung supported since the S1 through to the S5. I decided it was time to sell up because I wanted a Note 4. Well that didn't happen simply coz they are $877 and the opo was slightly dearer than what I sold my S5 for. So I hunted and hunted on eBay and researched til I couldn't research no more..decided I wanted the global version instead of Chinese version that the eBay guys were selling. I also put up a wanted ad on Gumtree. After not being able to find one I decided I'd buy on Tuesday direct. Got a mate who lives in Tennessee and he said he'd help. But before I went through with it, a brand new sealed 64gb global model come up on Gumtree. Bundled with a blue flip case and screen protector. Total cost posted as it was out of state was $580. I sold the s5 for $500. I couldnt be happier. I've now Bought a slate gray tudia case and a nilkin 9h glass screen protector. Absolutely love this phone. I'm on Telstra but in rural area so reception is kinda choppy but once in 4g areas its fantastic. Close to 30mb download speeds. Anyways that's my story with the opo so far.
[ONE General] Denisuu:
Yea it can't contain batteries when you do use the online service :( It's extremely ridiculous. No one wants to ship it under $100 from Belgium it's 10€...

You reckon post Australia would scan it when they ship it?

Have Sprint Mega 6.3 and am disappointed by Call Quality, Dropped Calls, etc...How is your experience on S5?

Just purely based on Call Quality. Have to decide whether to switch to S5 or Note 3, Note 3 does not have Sprint spark.

Any opinion would be helpful.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdionysius:
I used to own a S3 (I think it's even still in my signature) and upgraded to the S5 but have been experiencing dropped calls ever since. Both at home and at work I can see the triangle appear in the status bar saying "no service". When I'm lucky the connection gets restoren withing seconds (but will result in dropped call) but sometimes I have to reselect my provider by hand. Very disappointing for a device originally used to make phonecalls.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazerOrca:
Hi guys! so after giving my mesmerize to my family to use, I have gotten it back. In the course of them having my phone, they took it to the carrier because they were having problems with it, so it has been flashed back to stock. I was running avatar on it. I believe 4.2.. I know that there was a way to convert fascinate roms over to mesmerize roms back then. I think I did it one time myself. it was a small little program that would do the conversion. i am interested in flashing one of these kitkat roms that you guys have over on the fascinate side. Is there an easy way to do this now? Thank you guys in advance.

i think you have to use voice dialer to edit the APNs. not sure what the apns are for uscc though.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhp_211:
yes but unfortunately 'voice dialer' does not work in any - kit kat - 4.4 - cm11 - ROM that i'm aware of , I have successfully used the program 'elixir 2' to edit the file though and posted about here if you need to search for it...

\system\etc\apns-conf.xml

this is the info that the file should need:

<apn carrier="USCC" mcc="311" mnc="220" apn="internet" mmsc="http://mmsc1.uscc.net/mmsc/MMS" authtype="3" port="80" mmsport="80" type="mms" />

then appropriately in the 'edit APNs' section, too

I know the PA ROMs since January should have the proper stuff and a built in function for the xml and an included APN editor (so no voice dialer or other programs needed) and fully functioning

also check this post out for some other information of a ROM that has the proper apn stuff as well but is slightly unstable and gives random reboots but otherwise fully functional

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazerOrca:
Unfortunately, a lot of this is over my head. I have learned just enough about this stuff to flash a custom recovery, flash roms, and "devil" kernel for all of the cool over clocking mods... Every rom I have used was already set up for mesmerize. All I needed to do was flash it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerwatt12:
Dev edition vs T-Mobile version, are these hardware differences, or software? Could I flash a T-Mobile radio onto a developer edition to unlock the bands to get HSPA+ on PCS(1700 and 2100)?

Also T-Mobile plans on rolling out 700MHz LTE later this year, would this be compatible?

The developer edition is an "AT&T variant" which restricts some bands, meaning I drop down to EDGE in some areas where T-Mobile hasn't refarmed(modernized) their spectrum.

from anandtech:

>As far as I can tell only the AT&T and Google Play Edition SKUs support carrier aggregation. The two SKUs are quite similar from a cellular standpoint, with the AT&T model locking out UMTS band 4 to discourage movement to T-Mobile.

also, could I get wi-fi calling if I found and flashed a T-Mobile stock rom?

Hey Guys, thought I'd share some stock TWRP backups of our available roms. They only include backups of the boot.img (kernel) and /system partition, and are safe to flash on any Sprint HTC One M8. Stock Backups made using [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]'s modded TWRP. (2.7.1.0 if it matters...)

Download/Install Instructions:

Stock "Nandroid" Backup Downloads:

Here are the OTA files, incase anybody would like to manually download and flash or pick at...

As a little bonus, here is the stock recovery for peeps who wan't to take an OTA, AT THEIR OWN DISCRETION. (S-OFF Prior To Taking An OTA Recommended...)

W.I.P. WILL BE UPDATING OP PERIODICALLY. IN THE MEAN TIME, I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED ALL THE DOWNLOADS I AM POSTING/SHARING, AND CAN CONFIRM THEY DO WORK, IN THE CASE YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ISSUE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. I AM HERE TO HELP. BE BACK LATER TO UPDATE OP...

I am trying to go back to stock in order to update the firmware. I haven't been able to update it the other ways. I tried generic RUU, tried it with fastboot. I get an error every time. I thought I'll go back to stock completely, update it and then get s-off using the sunshine exploit. (As suggested to me by another XDA member)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Just install a stock rooted ROM and then use Sunshine to get S-off. One of Captain Throwback's stock rooted ROM's will work fine (you can run Sunshine with whatever ROM you have installed. You will be prompted to pay if it works with your current setup). If you relocked your bootloader Sunshine will unlock it when it runs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Amer28:
I gave up for the time being, Magnum. I've installed the stock, but when I realized I would have to relock it, then install the stock recovery only to get the firmware, I gave it up. I will do it some other time when I have some more free time. Thank you for the help though, at least now I know how to do it and I will eventually get around to it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Like I said, at this point all you should have to do is install the Sunshine app and run it. There is no need to relock your bootloader to run it. Don't worry about installing the stock recovery either. Just run Sunshine and enjoy being S-off:thumbup:
