Sprint HTC wont find other networks

Ok I got my Sprint HTC one Sim Unlocked and Super CID, Rooted and Booloader unlocked.
I need to get it up on the ATT network, it reads my Net10 sim, but wont pick up any other network except the Sprint.
Do I need to flash a GSM rom to get it to work or is there another way please help.

If you want a brick, go ahead and flash a GSM ROM.
In seriousness, what have you tried? You should be able to switch the phone's network mode under Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Mode. For AT&T, you'd probably what GSM/UTMS only. Failing that, you can try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and under Phone Info, changing the network mode there to something with GSM. No guarantee that those settings will stick across a reboot though.

Still nothing

Thanks for the reply, I know I could brick my phone so I havent tried a GSM rom. But i have tried all the settings that you stated above and nothing sems to work. My HTC does read the NET10 sim I put in but just wont pick up the network. I am thinking a few things that either the Sprint RUU I am running does not allow the phone to pick up other networks, or maybe the band frequencies are not installed only CDMA. Or maybe the option to choose GSM may be locked somehow on the phone and maybe needs to be unlocked. These are only guesses thought. I do know for sure that the phone does give me options to choose gsm, lte, cdma and more but when choosing it does not get signal only CDMA. I even tried choosing other radio band frequencies with no luck. There has to be a way.
Is it possible to flash GSM radio bands without messing anything up? Not sure thats why I am asking. Or is there a sprint ruu that includes GSM bands.
Please help if you can.

Wait, you're not sure if you're SIM-unlocked? Your phone should be capable of picking these things up by default; you could talk to Sprint cusotmer service and see if the phone's global mode has been enabled.

Yes

Yeah my phone is Sim Unlocked, Super Cid, and rooted. It does read other sims but wont pick up other networks such as GSM. This really does suck. I cant call Sprint because I got the phone off of someone who no longer has Sprint and their contract was never finished. So I Sim Unlocked it myself.

My Conclusion
I come to beleave that it is not possible to have a Sprint HTC One work on any other networks except theirs. I have tried every possbile solution that this site has to offer and nothing. It also seems to me that no one has come up with a soultion either. I have searched everywhere and no one has a strait forward answer. All that I can get it to do is recognize other sims once sim unlocked, but whats the point if you cant get it to pick up other networks such as GSM.

You have to enable domestic roaming and turn roaming guards off. Than go to network and select the network operator MANUALLY. This way it'll work, but it was stated by some users that you'll loose signal from time to time and will have to redo the process again (select network manually)

Will try thanks.

I feel that way about locking onto AT&T.. or connecting at all for that matter. But I HAVE used T-mobile for about 4 months, albeit losing the signal, and having to re-register from time to time. you can make it work. in *#*#4636#*#* go with WCDMA preferred.. 800Mhz freq.. I wasn't even s-off when I was making it work..so obviously no SuperCID either.. i have since obtained both, and STILL cannot connect to AT&T.. the Network Selections are just greyed out...

Hello, I have a Sprint HTC One running perfectly on a GSM company, called Telcel here in México. Recently I wiped everything and started again, and with the stock rom (Sense 6 4.4.2) I wasn't able to choose the GSM mode, I was stuck on CDMA mode without service, until I flashed again the latest firmware (5.09.451 or something like that), and all the problems were solved, currently I'm running ViperOne rom for the sprint variant, with the latest firmware and everything is perfect, hope this help.

First is the unlock process, to do that you first should install a 4.2 RUU, then unlock the device company. After, root and install a recovery, flash the ROM that you want, and flash the required firmware, depending of the version of android. That's all, if you want more help add me on skype, I speak spanish.
Good luck.

AT&T unlocked 2014 x not working on tmobile

I have an unlocked AT&T xt1097 but it won't register my T-Mobile Sim card. It registered for about 3 minutes, got a welcome to T-Mobile text and that was that. My phone number shows up in settings, but it shows I have zero service. I've reset, and rebooted several times to no avail. My sim works in a nexus 6 so it's not the sim. Imei os clean. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or how I could get it to work with my T-Mobile sim?

When you say unlocked, unlocked Sim or unlocked boot loader?

sim unlock. As far as I know there's no boot loader unlock.

Could it be that the imei isn't in T-Mobile's data base since it's an at&t moto x?
Edit: went and put the imei in to tmobiles imei checker and it couldn't figure out what device it was and if it was okay to use on their network. Now I just need to verify with T-Mobile and see if they can register the imei.

did you ever get it to work? i am experiencing the same issue. it connects to my friends AT&T network fine but with t-mobile it just says "cant register" etc,etc.

Change the APN settings
I have had a problem like this with my unlocked phone and AT&T, but when they set it up in the AT&T store they fiddled with the APN settings. I had to do the same to get my wife's unlocked Lumia 635 to work on the T-Mobile network. Try the values used in the link attached and see if it works.

I was able to connect to tmobile network some times, able to make calls. No data connection at all. I played with APN settings and everything else. any help..?

I have an unlocked ATT x1097 and it works just fine with tmobile.
You just have to MAKE A NEW APN SETTING.
When you put a tmobile sim in it, it will automatically create a couple of T-MOBILE apn settings. Just leave that as is and create a NEW APN SETTING with same info you can find from Google. Select that as your data apn. And reboot the device for the best result. It should fixed the problem.
For those of you whose sim does not register into tmobile network; i think it could be one of the following reasons:
1. Original ATT modem does not work well with tmobile frequency in your area
2. The device is locked (stolen, non-payment, etc)
3. The device is broken
4. Your SIM card is damaged
As long as you are at the home screen with tmobile sim, your phone is GSM UNLOCKED, and it iwill never lock again.

Just wanted to say thank you. My T-Mobile SIM wouldn't connect and I even went to the T-Mobile SIM store to get a new SIM Card but it didn't help. As you stated, adding a new APN setting was the only thing that worked.
For those of you who want to unlock your Moto X, I purchased a code on eBay for about $8 and received it within 6 hours. I would post the link but I'm afraid it might be considered spam.

What type of data signal are you getting? LTE?

Nice. Where did you get your unlock code?

I don't know about OP but I have always used swiftunlocks and have had great luck. Got my N6 from ATT unlocked through them without issues as well.
http://www.swiftunlocks.com/unlock/motorola-at-t-tmobile-worldwide
I noticed that sometimes phone picks up apn without issues and sometimes you have to restart so I just restart every time I make a change to be on the safe side.

Just in case anyone else has the same issue as OP, you should use the
Code:
epc.tmobile.com
APN, NOT the
Code:
fast.tmobile.com
one.
The fast.tmobile.com one would not let me register on the network. epc one did immediately.

Hey, I know this post is kind of old but I am currently having the same problem with my moto X 2014 going from At&t to T-Mobile, were you able to get it fixed and if you did, what did you do?

Any luck? I've just come accross the same issue. Got phone unlocked, and bought a new sim and activated. I'll get like 3-4 minutes of service randomly here and there, but about 99% of the time no service. Tried multiple variations of APN settings that I've found online. No luck

Fixed all my seriously annoying connection problems by flashing the 4.4.4 modem.

Neither one works for data... Just got it unlocked from swiftlocks and I can get voice, but no data :crying:
Someone help!! ...plz

Anyone ?? T-Mobile reps are mostly useless, and keep telling me that my device may have been ' re-locked ' to AT&T after a hard reset !! I know that's not the case because I've thrown in a Vodafone sim and it recognized it ! The sim unlock was purchased from SwiftUnlocks and the phone took it in one try w/o any issues!
Now, I can't even get voice to work... All I see is ' No Service ' and when manually trying to register with T-Mobile, it says ' unable to connect to the T-Mobile network. Please try later '
Someone please help out!!

Sim Unlock for International use[SPRINT G4]

My friend is bringing me an Sprint LG G4 from the states. Was trying to find information but was not sure if the phone is unlocked for International use? Specifically Kuwait and India. I know we cannot edit APN's at the moment but can we use call and texting?
If it not unlocked, then is http://www.unlockallcellular.com/united-states-sprint-lg-g4-unlock-code-np-202435.htmlthe way to go?
Thank you

you can edit APN via ##3282#, you will need your MSL -search this forum you will find how to get it. But you will not be able to unlock Sprint variant for international GSM use. Only Sprint can do over the air and the phone has to be active on Sprint account for this.

Any chance unlock it now? Maybe flash or edit build.prop I don't know.

If you guys don't mind flashing/restoring your phone using the TOT method. You can try it out. I tried it out and it was SIM unlock out of the box. To edit the APN, I used Shortcut Master (Lite).
I'm from the Philippines by the way. The LTE bands of this phone doesn't support my carrier's LTE bands so no LTE for me.

I am not sure if it's on stock, paid one cellphone shop here in california to have it gsm unlock. My sister who is currently using it in the philippines said that she just noticed that she cant receive any calls with it. In fact they tried calling it with another phone and it doesn't ring and even not give any notification for a missed call. The calling phone hears that its supposed to be ringing and after sometime it would say cannot be reached.
It can receive and send sms messages.
Again, thanks...

I'm not sure if Smart Network can access LTE but can you check? If LTE is available, can you make sure that the network selection is not set to LTE only, since sometimes it can affect making/receiving phone calls.

Try installing Shortcut Master (Lite) and try RAT_Selection(I'm not sure if it requires root though), then force WCDMA only if it will make a difference.

Just bought a LS991 that was supposed to be unlocked. Can it work on T-Mobile?
Hey everybody...
I bought a sim unlocked G4 from ebay. The seller claimed that it was unlocked for use with all gsm carriers, including t-mobile. After receiving the phone, I discovered that the phone was LS991 (Sprint version) and not the international version. If the phone is indeed unlocked as the seller stated, can I just insert a T-Mobile sim and start using right away? Or, will there be limits on the ability to make calls or connect to HSPA or LTE data?
Will the "APN" need updating to work with smoothly with T-Mobile? If anyone has prior experience in using LS991 on T-Mobile, please let me know!

tap phone and open the dialing pad an hit *#*#4636#*#* then tap Phone information and scroll down to "set preferred network type" in there you'll find a way to switch to LTE/GSM but I don't know if it will work unless the phone is S-off or already carrier unlocked.

Hi! thank for the responce.
My phone carrier is unlocked, i do what you said, then restar the phone, then put the SIM pin and a pop up message appear "Unlocking SIM" wait for 30 minuts and nothing happens, the little popup window remains there, the only way to take it off is pulling off the SIM.

So does mine and it's also CDMA and from what I know the CDMA phones cannot be unlocked from the carrier to use another network and the only one cable of doing that is the GSM phone not the CDMA ones. So mines still locked to Sprint and I'm s-off too.

If you want to get s-off, and your phone is 32 bit and NOT 64 bit, you can go to the website ---> The Root Ninja and download the app called Sunshine that @jcase made specifically for obtaining s-off. After you get your one time, one use license, if you need help with it you can either talk to @jcase or if he's not available you can come back here and I'll help you out. If your phone is 64 bit don't bother even trying to s-off it's not going to work with Sunshine and don't bother @jcase about it working for 64 bit because it doesn't and won't.

If your phone is 64 bit don't bother even trying to s-off it's not going to work with Sunshine and don't bother @jcase about it working for 64 bit because it doesn't and won't.

If you're not in USA then it doesn't matter because you're phone is most likely 64 bit since only 32 bit is sold in USA. If you're sim unlocked already there might be a way to get GSM to work so try this... Open the phones dialing pad and enter code *#*#4636#*#* and then tap Phone Information and then scroll down to "Set preferred network type" and select LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and then see if you can get it to work. But you'll most likely need your service providers APN (Access Point Name) and you'll have to set it up in the phones Settings in Network.

no, my phone is a virgin mobile (from sprint) i have tried the 4636 menu but with no luck, the phone only allows me to change to some of the options like LTE only, LTE CDMA, LTE WCDMA, CDMA EVDO GSM WCDMA LTE AUTO, GSM WCDMA LTE AUTO, GSM WCDMA, CDMA + LTE EVDO AUTO, and others and with any it doesnt wrabs signal. any of the gsm ones should do the trick but none does it.
and when i try to auto connect to network show that my simcard dont allow connection to this network and i tried 2 working sims with the same result

I've tried to tell a lot of people that there's no way to get a CDMA Virgin Mobile brand phone to work on GSM Networks, it's impossible and no one bothers to listen to me so I don't tell people to not try anymore I just try to support what they want to do. It's never going to work but you can keep trying and if you find a way to get it to work post the solution here.

ok, but how are you so sure?
the htc one m7 and the m8 from sprint can be used on gsm being cdma phones in first place, in fact i do own a htc one m8 from sprint that i succesfully unlocked and use it right now with a gsm network in my country.
also i do remember that other cdma/gsm phones like the htc pro 2 was capable to work on either network.
maybe something is still missing and we havent done all to achieve succes. ill keep try before selling the desire like this

Because Virgin Mobile purposely made it that way so that it can never be used with any other carrier but them... I know this because I have gone out of the Country a lot because I'm in the Military and when I asked VM to unlock the SIM card they said they cannot unlock it because even if they did it's never going to work with another SIM/Carrier and believe me I tried and tried while I was in Afghanistan and I eventually just gave up and bought a small stupid flip phone to use while over there instead. But like I said, you can keep trying. I'm not trying to tell you not to try because you might find a way when I couldn't.

hello,
we had a discussion about it in other thread. people tried it, soffed 510, and tried all the way. i have sprint, virgin, boost 510 sim unlocked. i am using it with other cdma carrier with evdo working. i even tried it setting to gsm, but it doesnt works. i tried adding gsm bands via dfs tool too, but still it doesnt work. igsm bands are locked in radio or radio doesnt have support for it. We need a gsm 510 radio to work on it. if someone have a knowledge uptill radio level, who can patch radio of 510 then it may work..
but @MrMike2182 is right too.. lol , but we never know... like sprint htc m9... people thought its impossible to unlock, but now you can sim unlock it ..

im begginning to suspect that the lower level devices the issue is that the hardware is acutially different. flagship phones are not made with many different variants,so the simlock and profile are controlled via software and thus able to be "unlocked"
ive gotten a sprint one max to work on gsm,but tried alot of different things trying to get a virgin mobile desire 816 to work with zero success. the fact that folks to use these phones on other cdma networks does indicate they are no longer sim locked.
cheaper phones like this the best advice is to sell it off and just get a gsm version. there are plenty out there that will work without the hassle.

Trust me I've done everything under the sun to get this sucker to work on GSM and it won't do it... When Virgin Mobile refused to SIM unlock it saying it cannot be unlocked I got pissed and S-off'ed the phone and it works with other CDMA carriers but it just won't work with GSM but I was thinking it may have something to do with the radio but I don't want to mess around with that just yet because that'll brick it for sure if I get it wrong..

true. lower end devices, dont have capabilities. i used htc one max sprint on gsm , it works on cdma with nv and also on simcard. m7 also works that way, but to make it work with other cdma sim, we have patched radio for m7, it was realased on some chinese forum, later posted by someone on xda. Htc one m8 sprint, verizon works best. works on gsm, works on cdma sim, works on nv too with other providers, you dont even need to touch radio.. i even relocked and got latest ota. still it works best with all. truly world phone..

SM920P Can't establish wireless data connection troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I bought a SM920P Note 5 (Sprint) in , I could use 3G at VietNam without any problems but when I arrive at Japan, I can't use 3G anymore, only ordinary phone calls and SMS. The phone keeps alerting this error : lte:esm - 29 emm - x unable to stablish a wireless data connection.
I have entered the APN setting of the carrier. I tried to put the SIM into another phone and it works without problems.
In the settings>more>about device>status : the networks says HSPDA. So I changed the Bearer in the APN setting to HSPDA but still no luck !
My OS now is Nougat, and I don't think the phone is rooted because I'm receiving auto updates.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?
Forgive me if there were missing information, just ask me and I will provide, sorry I'm not very "technical" !

Thanks for the reply.
I only have 4 mode in my network mode :
- CDMA
- LTE/CDMA
- GSM/UTMS
- Automatic
If I chose CDMA or LTE/CDMA there won't be any signal at all, the working options are GSM/UTMS and Automatic which I assume is the GSM/UTMS itselft.
Any ideas ??

Did you get Sprint to unlock your phone for a different carrier before you left? Those APN settings have to be set exactly right and you must save it. Once you change your network mode it may take a bit to get signal.

No, unfortunately I bought the phone in Vietnam, are there other ways to solve this? Like rooting the device and make some system changes?

I do not know if rooting it would do you any good. I am not sure if changing the firmware would allow you to change carriers. I am not even positive that's the problem. Did it ask for some kind of code after you inserted the new SIM?
Is it a data only SIM? I think it needs to be a data only SIM being a CDMA phone.

Hi RedNeck, sorry for the late reply.
No it did not ask for any code when I inserting the SIM, the SIM is capable of Call and SMS.

No problem. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure your Sprint phone is CDMA and I am pretty sure that the only thing your phone uses your SIM card for is LTE data. So if I am correct you need a SIM that is data only. The other phone it works in, is it CDMA or GSM?

Actually I don't know anything about the CDMA or GSM things. Here is the result I got from googling the spec of the other phone :
Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE
So, assuming you're right, can I just "disable" the calling and SMS function of the SIM, make it to become a data only SIM? I already got into a 6 month contract here, so I can't change the contract type in about 5 months !!!

You are welcome. I do not think you can do that to a SIM. The other phone sounds like a GSM phone and if the SIM works in that phone it will not work in a CDMA phone. I would go to your new carrier and ask if there is anything they can help you with. That's assuming that you are not carrier locked to Sprint. Then you have the fact that the CDMA SIM will not work in your other phone.

Thanks, but are you sure this is a CDMA Phone? Because when I change the Network Mode to CDMA or LTE/CDMA, the phone will lose all the signal?

Yes I am sure. I have seen CDMA carrier phones that were refurbished by third parties that "claim" they are unlocked for GSM carriers. I am not sure how much I trust that. You may hit up Sprint support and see if there is something they can do for you. If you bought it on contract from them they may not do anything for you.
Good luck.
