I've searched these forums, but can't see any clear answer. Can you flash a T-Mobile Wildfire S to work on Virgin Mobile's network? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they pretty much the same phone?
Same phone different stuff one has a Sim one doesn't check my post on all the stuff for VM it has everything and its up to date

If your in the uk, then yes you can
All phones in the uk are GSM and there is no cdma, so can't speak for other countries.

Hello,
I'm new to this as my post counter suggest. I just bought a used Telus HTC Desire, I'm new to using Android device as well. I was wondering if I need to root the Desire to obtain 3G from Rogers. I tried using the APN from this thread but it still never showed up on the top notification bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Thank you very much for reading this, I hope to have a reply soon.
Sincerely,
Steven K.
No just unlock and type in the apn. Rogers bell TELUS virgin etc use the same networks.

Could someone answer a novice question for me? I'm kind of confused.
Can I get an (unlocked) HTC Desire originally from Alltel or US Cellular (CDMA) and convert it to a GSM phone (for T-mobile)? If so, is rooting required?
Thanks a lot.
No, different hardware.
You would have to find a suitable CDMA antenna, and even then it probably wouldn't work properly. Carrier is differentiated, for the most part, by the phones physical antenna. That's what dictates which carriers network the phone will work with.

Thanks. I think the CDMA version does not even have a SIM slot.
I have a rooted and unlocked bootloader HTC Desire from U.S Cellular. But U.S Cellular isn't in Colorado. I'm slightly familiar with flashing. And I wanna flash this thing to Verizon or Sprint. I find people who have it done. Trouble is there is no instructions on it. Any help on finding a compatible Verizon or Sprint PRL for the Desire. And is there a program other then QPST? And can I do it when the phone runs CM 7.1

Hi,
I just ordered a HTC One V from the States (says it's Virgin Prepaid phone) and i'm from South Africa.
My question is, can I unlock it and will it work on Vodacom (Vodafone) network?
And is there a name for the Stock HTC One V Rom from HTC?
Many thanks.
If its from virgin mobile in the us its a CDMA phone. And Vodafone uses GSM all over the world as far as I know so no that won't work, it will only be able to be used as an iPod touch like device.

Oh ok thanks for that information.
Hey guys,
I read that the phone is "global" and sim unlocked, but I am wondering whether or not it will work with softbank particularly? I read that the service bands are different, but I cannot find any other source other than one, but people do say it should work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

It is a global phone so it should work. However it makes little sense to buy a Verizon wireless m9 if you are not on Verizon. The phone is completely locked down and requires a Java card to turn soff. I would suggest looking at another carriers branded phone as most are cheaper anyways

I already have the phone. So I can get a sim card here and it should work?
It should be double check your freqs.
