Hello
I bought a droid 3 from ebay in Europe. The phone came from US (Verizon).
It was already rooted and with safestrap 3.05 installed.
System version is 5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US
Kernel is 2.635.7-g790a33c [email protected]#1
Build 5.5.1_84_D3G-55
Baseband – now says “unknown” but was showing something before I flashed a new radio (explained below)
I want to use this phone with gsm networks in Europe. So, I flashed cyanogenmod in boot slot 1 and tried to connect to my gsm network, but it didn’t work, The error was something like “Cant assign to selected network”. Then I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989359 the part for non-us “foreign” gsm networks. Stil the same problem.
Then I thought it might be sim locked. Bought an unlock code from unlock4moto, booted into the original slot, entered sim card pin followed by the sim network unlock code I received from unlock4moto and I got the message “Your phone is subsidy locked. Contact your provider”
I re-entered the code. Same error.
Tried to connect to my gsm network that the phone was detecting but I got the same error “Cant assign to selected network”.
Then I decided to flash the new radio from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989359 (the “using us gsm networks” part) and changed build.prop and rebooted to original software.
Now it doesn’t even ask me for sim pin code and when I try to search for networks its says “Connection unavailable” and on taskbar “Selected network unavailable” and the baseband version disappered, now says "Unknown"
Am I screwed?
What’s my problem now?
Thank you
Hello,
I recently acquired from ebay a used Sprint HTC One M7 for cheap because the guy couldn't unlock it.
I followed all the tutorials and guides here, and got the phone unlocked, TWRP recovery and SuperSU flashed, S-OFF, and a custom rom (Viper) flashed on it successfully.
I am from France and my network operator is Free.fr. I used both the *#*#4636#*#* and the Mobile settings to enable GSM and the phone, SMS, and 3G data are all working properly.
However, my operator allows for 4G LTE as well and I would like to use it if possible, while retaining the use of the Phone itself (making calls, texts etc).
The way it works for Free.fr is that I have to login on their website, and enable 4G manually. The server will then check if my phone has 4G LTE compatibility and enable it if it does, but everytime I try it tells me my phone is not 4G ready.
Is there anyway to do this? A guide or tutorial out there perhaps?
edit: more info:
It seems I need 2600 MHz frequency for 4G to work with my operator, could it be that the Sprint version cannot handle this? Any solutions?

Yeah :/ the Sprint HTC One only supports the 1900MHz for LTE. There aren't any solutions afaik, unless you might want to do a hardware mod, and doing hardware mods on an One is near-impossible.. so you're out of luck.

Ah well, that's alright, at the price I got it for it's still worth it even without 4G. Thanks for the reply!

Hi, could you share your experience of sim unlock the device?
my phone is on 1.57 hboot. I s-off it and RUU to 1.19 firmware. Android 4.1.2. Then I install latest TWRP and Super SU 2.0
Then I download the "sprint htc one sim unlock helper" , select sim unlock.
phone reboot. select " GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" in *#*#4636#*#*"
Now when I insert my AT&T sim card. it pop up to select carreir, I choose "AT&T", I also choose "GSMUMTS only" in network moode. Also set up ATT APN.
now iin Phone indentity, I could see my phone number,
But there is no signal for the phone at all...
Could you told me your way of doing the sim unlock? Thanks.

I did exactly what you did and I had signal. I am from France so I don't know about AT&T though. With my French operator it works fine now.

Hello friends
I have just updated My Xperia V LT25I to Android 4.3 build 9.2.a.2.5 using flashtool
After update, my phone got network locked and asking for unlock PIN for network unlock.
I don't know how it got locked. because it was perfectly fine before.
But when i check its lock counter by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* and simLOCK info, It shows "?" on all values
? network
? network subset
? service provider
? corporate
? sim
Can anyone tell me weather my phone is really locked or what?
I'm using unlocked us variant. Baseband versio

I've pulled sim. Restarted I serted sim.
Shows network connected Verizon
