How can I find out which model I have ? I.e does my desire support 850 or 900 gprs ?

I did, and already seen that. I bought my phone in Thailand when it was completely new. I.e they imported it. So they could have gotten it from anywhere, including America.
And that leaves me back to still not know which model I have. Any other suggestions ?

try looking in settings/about phone. also turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and that will bring up ur bootloader, more info there.

EDIT: Found this, its for the Desire HD but its the same topic, maybe it mite shed some light on it
xda-developers
Pull the battery and look for the model number, ie: HTC Desire A818x
A8181 900/2100
A8182 850/1900
A8183 850/2100

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you
Bhai sab fit! It will defo work. What Network is your Bro on?

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Hi, I'm a bit confused on which I have, I got it in the mail with the tmobile rom and g2 hboot fully s-offed, new, only opened to s-off, but it came from hong kong in a black htc old box, it was supposed to be a desire z, but... it has the G2 keyboard, but the dz back and "with htc sense" label.. any clue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
well other than the few things like the back cover wording and the tmobile words on the digitizer or htc or whatever, the only difference that matters is the hboot. it looks like it was a dz but know has a g2 hboot. so now it is a g2 for all that matters

That's what I'm thinking, my biggest hope is that it has the g2 bands, because I'm using straight talk, and think I need the tmo sim
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Well if you find that you have an FM radio in it, then it's DZ Hardware.
I don't know how you can tell the bands without first booting up into the phone and checking the about, but if you find it:
Desire Z - Band I: 900/2100 Mhz
G2 - Band IV: 1700/2100 Mhz
Maybe the serial number in the About Phone setting could help.
Though other sources say the G2 covers every bands TMobile uses currently:
Carrier: T-Mobile
2G Technology (Frequencies): GSM (850/900/1800/1900mhz)
3G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100mhz)
4G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA+ (1700/2100mhz)

Well battery plates are interchangeable, however it does say HTC along the top of the phone, though the keyboard appears same as my G2. I'm wondering if it's a re-furbished G2 with an DZ Digitizer and housing.
What does your hBoot say ? T-Mobile if I'm not mistaken have specific radio versions.
Here's my hboot

If you have an att logo, then I am afraid that it is an inspire 4g and not a dhd. So, probably you won't have 3g on,Europe. Make sure in about phone.

that does not exist. Dhd is not att branded, inspire 4g is. Changing radios won't solve the issue, because it is hardware issue and not software.

I am not sure, but if the device has an att logo at the back, is definitely an Inspire 4G. You can set that to say Desire HD in about phone if the phone was rooted by modifiying the build.prop.
Check your apn setting with your carrier, if it is well set and you have no 3G, then ask the seller.

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.

There are guys on here from the US like droidit, and they have the international tegra so I guess it must work fine. Maybe pm him.

The International HOX is fully quad-band that supports ALL the same frequencies as the OneXL (AT&T OneX) EXCEPT the LTE bands.
It will work without issue anywhere in the US.
