Just checking back on this. Has anyone gone from US Unlocked to the Sprint ROM (on a non Sprint carrier)?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Toyeboy:
So the Sprint version has all the lte bands for T-Mobile? I'm wondering since there's talk of T mobile and Sprint merging. Would be comforting to know this sweet phone works on T-Mobile in case it comes to that.

Sprint and US Unlocked U11 are the same device, only the firmware is different.

Orange to Stock ROM France/Europe

Hi guys & thank's to @OMJ for this thread ! :cool:

I want install Standard Stock Rom on my U11 buy in promotion sale Orange in France but the CID is: ORANGE219 :(

I've read the CID for France will be: HTC__034 ?

The root is NOT required ? Or obligatory ?

1. Download & install Sunshine for S-OFF

I must install before: fastboot oem writecid BS_US001 or fastboot oem writecid 11111111 ???

2. Change CID from download mode:

3. Download & install Unlocked RUU, zip or exe

For Europe/France: I think its the: 2PZCIMG_OCEAN_UHL_N71_SENSE90GP_HTC_Europe_1.03.40 1.6_Radio_8998-001791AE-1705110032_release_503491_signed_2_4_2.zip ...

I must rename it ? :eek: If yes: witch name ?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] zopostyle:
You just need to rename to 2PZCIMG.zip if you will flash it via SD Card method, via fastboot it's not necessary.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzB:
Ah ? There is 2 methods to install a new Stock Rom??? :cyclops:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzB:
Hi,

I've run S-OFF for change CID Orange to Stock Europe CID (34) and: S-Off ask me to be Root... :rolleyes:

I will root my U11 this evening...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzB:
I confirm: U11 must be root for the S-OFF !

(It's ok I've change my CID Orange with S-OFF for a CID stock Europe ;) )
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Digitalkarma:
i know the guide mentions converting sprint u11 to work on other networks but is it possible to get an US Unlocked phone and convert it for Sprint network via root and S-off?

i have a feeling the red U11 will never see the light of day on Sprint...
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
There should be no reason the US Unlocked can't be converted to Sprint, the question is if sprint will activate the imei, I've been waiting for someone to try it out.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] puri1:
Very noob question so please pardon but do help ill appreciate , I'm getting back to flashing world after 2011 just bought htc u11 which showing relocked on htc download mode. My htc is htc__002 so can I change it to super CID ? And what mid an I suppose to change to please let me know. What steps do I need to do before sunshine s off when my phone status Relocked .? Please help thanks in advance
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
I cannot advise on MID, as this guide was for Sprint to US Unlocked conversion, but according to this thread it looks like u have the dual SIM model for Europe? Is your software version x.x.401.x?

what are you trying to convert to?

as far as running sunshine, you'll need to unlock bootloader via htcdev.com, then flash twrp (custom recovery), then flash root (either magisk or supersu)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr_Stabs:
How did you do this? I'm looking to do the same.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] dryspuri:
Okay so I was on EE UK, did following steps

Install HTC sync manager from here http://www.htc.com/www/help/

in settings, go to developer settings, select option allow unlocking, tick USB debugging

attach the cable and make sure install Fastboot from HTCdev

obviously, get platform tools and get latest adb.

make sure windows identifies the device in adb

do the command adb reboot download

make sure its going in fastboot mode

type the command htc_fastboot getvar all

write down mid and cid

reboot

download the US zip file and put it in sdcard root

reboot to fastboot and follow HTC dev to unlock the device

flash twrp from here https://xdaforums.com/u11/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3617028

Get magisk from here https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

flash it via twrp

now you are rooted

get sunshine from throotninja

run sunshine and pay 25 dollars

s-off achieved

reboot to download mode

change mid and CId according to here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JL3tRWDSVOUKo_revEYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=0

reboot after leaving zip file on sd card, and when option is asked in download mode for flashing this by selecting vol up, voila US unlocked, all updates installed even when unlocked

Only gripe is no voLTE or wificalling on Three
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] PrinzB:
Hi,

yes, I'm in France & I've proceed like that for change to CID:

When you have reboot after buying le S-OFF:

On your PC connected to your U11

Run: ADB

Write:

adb devices

You must seen your U11 connected with is serial number.

Type:

fastboot oem writecid HTC__034

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar cid

It must display your new CID ! :)

fastboot reboot

What happens if a US unlocked OREO RUU is installed at first instead of nougat? Since sunshine is temporary and it will not work on oreo yet so there is a risk? or I can not flash the unlocked oreo ruu straight from sprint rom? I think it will work but it will be a US unlocked forever, but it will preserve the unlock sim? Has somebody has received and installed the oreo ota on a sprint converted device?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
I have a sprint U11, I converted it to us unlocked and received the Oreo ota. Since sunshine is not yet supported on Oreo I'm stuck on us unlocked until it's updated. My Verizon sim works fine.

Are you using sprint service or other?

And yes, you can flash the Oreo ruu directly.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] ztrike:
Im using Claro Ecuador, I will go directly to oreo from viper, I hope nothing bad happens :)

1. u might want to mask your serial # too...

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] starkdon:
Dear Sir,

This question might be not related to sprint brand converting. But I'd really appreciate it if you can help to answer.

I wanna ask, will SOFF and convert my phone from original brand to another enable some mobile network?

I have HTC dual sim U11 of the Middle-east version, CID is HTC_J15 Arabic ( htc_ocndugl), modelid is 2PZC30000, the software build number is 1.27.401.10. now on Viper U 1.8.0.

Since this phone does not originally support CDMA network, if I SOFF it and convert it to another brand, namely Chinese brand, which will support all net work. After I SOFF, change my CID and MID as the Chinese Brand and flash the Chinese RUU, (htc_ocndtwl - China), will I be able to have CDMA supported and all the Chinese model network?

The supported network for both Chinese version and middle east are listed as following from HTC official website.

Thanks!

Guys, you don't need this in the US. Carriers are required by law to unlock a phone that is paid for. That's why we don't get phone discounts that don't include paying for the phone month to month anymore.

If you want to unlock it: Sprint Phone Unlock FAQ
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
This thread is about converting from a sprint rom to unlocked rom for use on carriers other than sprint, did you read the title? Does it say anything in the title about sim unlocking?

I can personally attest to converting from sprint rom using this method. Yes, the phone will work using the Sprint rom & tmobile service but why would I want the Sprint bloat if I'm on tmobile?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] da3dsoul:
It involves SIM unlocking, as well, but they are required to make the phone usable on other networks, including but not limited to SIM unlocking. They must remove carrier locks of any kind, with the exception of hardware limitations. That said, they don't need to make it this easy. They may require you to send the phone to an office somewhere.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
Again, the OP doesn't even mention sim unlocking, so your point is useless.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
It involves more than simple bloatware as well. When using VoLTE, the Sprint rom still removes the data icon as if you are not connected to the internet.

That being said, VoLTE doesn't actually work properly without the Unlocked firmware (S-Off required). You will only get 3g speeds while talking on the phone. Be mindful of that.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

It's called root and manually unlock it. There's another thread with instructions. I personally started using my phone on TMobile without being unlocked from Sprint...even after they sent me the warning message that my phone was still owned by them.

Hola, hice lo siguiente desbloquee bootloader, instale; twr, hice root magisk instale; sunshine, pague los 25$, pero casi al finalizar sunshine se apaga mi celular y vuelve, reviso en download Mode y esta en S on, con hiciste S off?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
English man, English.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesusarias:
hello, what I did was the following, unlock the bootloader, install twr, I made root, install sunshine, started the application came out that my device was compatible, pay the $ 25, but once executed sunshine, almost at the end the cell phone is turned off and it restarts. Does anyone know what happens? my cell phone is an HTC U11, BOOTLOADER OFF, BUT WITH S-ON, I would like to change cid to install a free stock rom, I have the CID-332, I appreciate the support.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
The U11 ALWAYS reboots after performing Sunshine as S-OFF is only temporary from the U11 onward. Thus it directly reboots to bootloader so you can perform all actions you want - like changing CID and MID - and will go S-ON right after the next reboot. So be careful with what you do if you don't want to have a bricked device after the actions you performed.

I assume you didn't make yourself familiar with the changes affecting the U11 prior to tinkering with it......
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesusarias:
I understand, what he says, I previously did s-off on htc m8 it went well, but the detail of the U11 is that it does not get to be in the boot manager, it just goes off and back on, enter a download mode and follow ON
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesusarias:
hello, eh done everything you say, unlock bootloader, install twr, I made root, I put S-off with sunshine, change cid, but when trying to flash with command window, I get error. You can explain to me the part in which the UUU is flashing, which command you enter and how you choose the UUU, thank you.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:

I can't seem to find a clear answer if this method works on the Europe dual sim version? X.X.401.X I remember doing this same method on my European One M9.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] OMJ:
the key in the conversion from sprint to unlocked is they both have the same Model ID (MID), if what you're wanting to convert to has the same MID, it will work just fine.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] InsaneNexuS:
The European model doesn't have the same mid sadly. But I remember being able to chang cid and mid on my One M9 to install the unlocked firmware.

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
I've still got my Sprint U11 lying around and just recently switch to T-Mobile.

For this to work, after changing the CID to BS_US001, do I need to use the "Full Wipe Zip" SDCard method of doing the RUU, or do I leave the device in Download Mode and run the RUU exe for the most recent? I've never used Sunshine, and don't want to do it wrong, screw everything up, and so on.

From what I vaguely remember, Sunshine was a temp S-Off that was pay per use So, if that's still the case and I pay to change my CID, I do NOT want to screw it up and have to do it again.

--

Just read up a bit more on the Sunshine FAQ and see that it's a device specific license and I shouldn't have to worry about Doing it wrong and it costing me anything more than the phone itself LOL.

I've got the 2PZCIMG_OCEAN_WHL_O80_SENSE90GP_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_2.42.617.7.zip downloaded, and am preparing to put some SunShine in my life, then pop this on the SDCard to convert to US_Unlocked
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
It is not pay per use, is a license by device once you attach the sunshine license to that device it will always able to ise it again in the same device as far you don't change the device board
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
I'm clear on changing the CID while in Download Mode with fastboot commands. I'm not clear on if I'm ok to insert my externalSD in while it's in download mode, or if I need to insert it and reboot to DL mode. Won't that revert the changes made with Sunshine?

Or, do I need to put it on the SD, run the Sunshine apk and change my CID in that DL mode session and then select install update from the same DL mode session without a reboot?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] JEANRIVERA:
I have never done this before I never had a sprint version of the device I was only trying to help you on the sunshine part of it, I'm sorry I can't help you more in your situation

I greatly appreciate that help. Since it's not a one-shot use, I won't be too concerned about doing it in the wrong order and wasting my one shot :)

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

The sdcard ruu zip method kept failing at system img 23.

Found out that I can just run the ruu exe while in download mode and it starts the process just fine. Went outside for a smoke while it was working and came in to find it completed successfully.

I can also confirm that you can get back to the Sprint version if you need to, such as for resale on a website that requires a phone to be on the official firmware for that device.

What is the possibility of flashing the unlocked ROM on a Sprint phone and then keeping Sprint service? With the HTC 10 this was possible by copying the radio.img, modemst1, and modemst2. Are there different partitions with the U11?

Could this be done?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
I did this without having to copy anything at all. I stayed on Sprint after I converted it.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] duck95:

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
It behaved as normal for me. No difference in connection
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] duck95:
Thanks for your help RandomPooka. What radio setting did you use?

Mine will not connect to the Sprint network after I flashed the unlocked ROM. I was activated and working on Sprint network. I'll I get is the signal bars with the slash through them.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] RandomPooka:
I wish I could remember what the network settings were set to, but that was 2 phones ago, and I'm since on T-Mobile. I just know that I converted the U11 to US Unlocked prior to switching to T-Mobile to make sure that I had a phone that I could use on both carriers. You might need to go to Settings->Network->Mobile->PreferredNetwork-> and try all the available options there to make sure the phone is searching on the right network bands?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] miggsr:
DELETED
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] quattro527:
I can verify that this works. Unlike the previous Verizon/Sprint models found on the HTC 10 (which requires a LOT more work especially acquiring S-Off once Verizon locks down its bootloader option), the biggest difference between a Sprint model and other US models are the radio images and configuration itself. Sprint is getting off its old proprietary CDMA ESN-style provisioning--so having the right radio.img image (in the firmware package) as well as the the config/build files found in /system/build.prop and /system/customize/ACC/default.xml that defines what "bands" and provisioning the phone will use. You can simply flash the entire firmware/software via RUU to the build of your choice (with proper MID/CID), OR you can modify your current build.prop and default.xml on the software with the proper radio.img flashed, look for the "Radio_Type" and these are the values used to change things around. Changing the value to "4" will turn the phone into an ALL-GSM and bypass all the CDMA provisions. Changing the value to "8" (what Verizon phones are configured to) will implement BOTH GSM+CDMA provisioning--you will see these options appear under your Mobile Network and network settings. Many custom ROMs give you this option and simply make the proper edits for you, but these are the values that I've researched and came up with:

RADIO TYPE:

UMTS = 1

CDMA = 2

TDSCDMA = 3

UMTS_LTE = 4

CDMA_LTE = 5

GSM_GSM = 6

GSM_CDMA = 7

WORLDPHONE_LTE_BOUND_CDMA = 8

TDSCDMA_TDLTE = 9

WORLDPHONE_GSM = 10
