I got an EVO 4G at Google I/O, and since I live in India, didn't see much of a point in getting it activated.
SO, Now that a month is over, and the free service is over, I want to explore my options and see if I can activate this phone on an Indian CDMA Network (like Reliance or TATA).
I know the phone is physically compatible, as it was roaming (both voice, and data) on these two networks. I just want to figure out how it can be unlocked, and then activated with either of these networks. I have seen a Blackberry from Verizon activated with Reliance earlier, so am wondering if the same is possible with the EVO.
we can use verizon's network here by updating the PRL to one of theirs... if the fq is the same, maybe you could do something similar with your area's PRL files?
For flashing to other networks PPC Geeks and Howard Forums are the best spot to look. It's a pretty simple process (from what I understand of Android). By the way in the future refer to this pic when starting threads like this:

HTC EVO 4g Unlocked! (on Reliance now)
I was able to unlock HTC EVO 4g (Sprint) and made it work with Reliance CDMA. It was done with a help of a professional who charged me nominally for his service. I strongly suggest you get it done thro a knowledgeable person. For your reference, you could contact this guy who helped me at happydelhi at the rate gmail dot com.

Finally unlocked my EVO - a BIG thanks to the writer(s) of the 1-2-3 easy root software! Your persistence and ingenuity is absolutely amazing !!!
I have one question that may have been already answered but for the life of me I cannot find a straight answer to it.
I live in Los Angeles and the phone keeps warning me that 4G is available but it never actually connects.
I have heard that using a specific radio version will solve this problem but cant find any more info on which version that is, where I can download it and how can i install it.
If any of you Android Gods could light the way for me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Just noticed all my speedtest were connecting to NJ servers instead of boston. Switched to boston one and got better ping and speeds. Upload seems the same seems to be capped at 1Mbs

If it were only as simple as picking the right radio. Welcome to the maze that is finding the correct order of operations, fixes, hacks, etc that leads to functional 4g on a rooted EVO. Enjoy your stay!

microsoft my phone should do it
Sorry to hear that man, as I feel you as I too had my HD2 stolen just last month. If you are in USA there is nothing you can do as no GSM carrier supports IMEI blocking, they can but they don't. In theory they can view the phone when its online as when when makes new connect with stolen phone with diff simcard it will be registred. But simply they don't care for it unless Big Brother steps in you know or used in emergency to locate someone.
Normally there are GPS service which can make the device send the owner its coordinates also giving remote capabilities like if nearby SMSing it will provide audiable alert or by backing the data and syncing online and locking it. For it to work one must have it installed before this takes place.
When I had my HD2 stolen I just finished flashing new rom and GF called so we went to the bar and didn't have time to install my software packages. I checked Craigslist/eBay couldn't find it. I was very ticked of as I paid 750 for HD2 + 200 or so on addon accessories. The most important thing was the data on the device contacts till this day I don't have they are gone unless they contact me as I only recovered parietal though recent audit call logs.
I know the feeling my whole world ended lol I became totally handicapped without my device, it makes you think hard how depended we become. I use it for everything and showed it off as I had very good reason as I extremely modified it beyond extreme with my own tweaks and things. I even left the prick SMS saying I would pay more than its worth if kid returns it, but he is not dumb he knew WTF would happen to him if he shows up.

I have an unlocked telus t989d
I will be moving to the states in a few months and i'm wondering if this phone will work on any network in the states. and if so, which network will it work on?
Thanks
Probably AT&T and Tmobile, as they carry identical phones except the AT&T version has LTE. The T-Mo ver is the same thing, but im guessing you could flash a t-mobile modem just to be sure.
Someone with more experience might know better though.
our phone woks on any cell provider in the world except JAPAN, just plug in a SIM card from your favourite local provider where you gonna be staying during the vacation / visit
Would it still be possible to flash an AT&T modem and just use their 3G network instead of the LTE? Just in case you're moving into
a more rural area where T-Mobile doesn't have acceptable coverage.

I'm a quick learner, teach me something.
T-Mobile will be your best call since the phones are exactly the same in specs and radios, if you go to AT&T you won't get 3G coverage only 2G.

that is 200% incorrect
the T989 can get 3G/4G on any HSPA provider, except CDMA

+1 Confirmation as to what AllGamer says; I use an unlocked SGH-T989 on AT&T and get 3G/HSPA speeds. The icon just stays as 3G on stock rom.
hey guys after years with sprint im giving up my evo3d with unlimited that, which unlimited doesnt matter since i can never use it,lol. anyway, i travel alot for work and cant find any voice roam with this phone, so does it roam off att? thanks
yes sir it does.

I, like you, came from Sprint and had the same question. T-mobile doesn't have voice roaming agreements like Sprint does with Verizon. Att can only be used in designated roaming areas. This leaves huge holes with zero coverage, even though att has service there.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That sucks to find out, i travel working. Is the roam function automatic or does it need to be enabled? I cant find any setting for it other then roam data.
There are other carriers T-Mobile has roaming agreements with, US Cellular among others. I've almost always had service wherever I go (besides mid-state Wyoming). Recently, I've even started getting EDGE/3G on otherwise desolate drives in areas where before I had voice service if I was lucky.
Are you prepaid or postpaid?
I want to know too

US Cellular? They are CDMA. I'm post paid. Check Cross Junction, Virginia on the TMob map. It has perfect ATT service, but I can't make a voice call anywhere on US 522 from Winchester to Berkeley Springs. I'm sure others have examples too...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I recently made a trip from WA to IL and there was zero tmo coverage for the most part. There was att though! Roaming of course... But it was edge most of the way.

No. It needs to be SIM unlocked, paid off & not blacklisted. I bought one off of Craigslist. Had the guy meet me at a metro store to verify that it was all good. Fortunately, all went well. It'll cost you $10 for the micro sim card + $15 for the "ESN" change on your account.
It doesn't need to be unlocked metropcs is a T-Mobile mvno they run on the same towers but if you want to unlock it nothing to lose just request for an unlock code but if you haven't bought it yet take other guys advice if buying on Craigslist or if buying on eBay ask for the imei and check the status through T-Mobile
I'm just stating what Metro PCS Corporate told me directly. ALL phones (Including ANY T-Mobile phones) MUST be unlocked. Without exception. Their words - not mine. Was I surprised? Oh yes! I too thought since T-Mobile & Metro PCS are essentially one & the same that one wouldn't need it to be unlocked. NOT so. Don't take my word for it - call their TOLL FREE 888-863-8768 number & ask 'em. They'll confirm what I've said here.

I personally used my old droid dna on Metro pcs. It wasn't sim unlocked, just put a Metro sim in. Granted since I hadn't changed anything else it only got 3g data. But since it is T-Mobile M8 on Metro pcs you should have no issues.
Luck favors you indeed. Go here: https://www.metropcs.com/content/metro/en/desktop/metro/offers/bring-your-own-phone
Their own website says it MUST be unlocked.
