i need a working radio image for the CDMA version of the htc one V for NTelos.
I think that when I flashed it to cyanogenmod 10 using an image that was based on Virgin Mobile, I didn't notice that Virgin Mobile uses a different radio version, and thus my wifi doesn't work, nor does the mobile network, but the phone (voice) side does.
So, if there are any Ntelos people out there, (as HTC does not have an RUU for NTelos, and I am unable to download the ota wifi updated, please respond, as I would really like to avoid having to send this very good phone off to HTC for a radio error.

Really, no one out there has an HTC One V on ntelos?
(all I need is a backup).

Need more information.
Are you having difficulty connecting to CELLULAR services? (voice)
Are you having difficulty connecting to DATA services? (3G)
Have you added the proper APN's?
What ROM are you using?
Ok so this is exactly what is going on. I have TELUS sim card in phone. It says I have limited service, I have zero. No cellular service what so ever. When I go into mobile networks and search.networks it only gives me Rogers as a choice. Phone is set to gsm/wcdma auto. I entered TELUS apns which didn't get me any further. Every few minutes the phone automatically brings up the network options page wanting me to connect with rogers.
Phone is running a stock HTC firmware as far as I can tell.
Android 2.2
Baseband 12.28b.60.140eu_26.03.02.26_m
Software number 1.34.405.5
Thanks for trying to help
Can you confirm that you get Bell and Telus signal where you currently are, on a different phone?
Could be a radio problem (though I'm no expert). Have you rooted your phone?
Yes I have strong bell and TELUS signal on my original HTC desire and wife's one S.
The desire Z is not rooted, when I received it, it was running Android 2.3.3 but had this problem so I did downgrade it to 2.2 to see if it would fix issue, which it didn't. That's all I've tried so far

Is it SIM unlocked to begin with? The Desire Z was originally with Bell so I'm not sure why it's only letting you choose Rogers, even with a Telus SIM. Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe there was an issue with the original firmware or the downgrade didn't stick properly. You could also go the route of rooting and flashing a custom ROM to see if that fixes the issue.
It does not ask me for code when I put in my sim card. It was advertised unlocked. The seller tells me now that it doesn't support TELUS bands of 850 and 1900 but from research I couldn't find any info of a desire z that didn't support it. Anyone else seen or heard of one?

Could it be the radio version?

Could be radio. Follow the guide to downgrading and rooting S-OFF, on the wiki ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision )
then flash the latest radio here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970809
The latest radio definitely supports bell.

Desire Z completely works with the Telus Network; I had one running flawlessly, so that seller is full of crap.
Try the radio update via fastboot and see where that gets you. Did the seller use it on Rogers before? Perhaps he loaded a radio tuned for Rogers when he owned it. If you do go this route, you may want to invest the time to root and S-OFF your phone too.
Ok so i rooted -s off and all that jazz. I used hboot to install the latest bell radio. Rebooted and still have no signal for telus or bell. Still only shows me rogers. I am going to try custom rom now but not sure if it will do me any good.
Ok Custom rom on my phone. installed virtuous team sense 4. However still will not detect a network other than rogers. I am assuming its hardware fault?
Umm try your wife's sim in your phone and see what happens

Any Idea??
Hey guys I'm hoping i'm not screwed but flashed a custom rom x3reme Sense v5 & OTA and when i rebooted now my Mobile Network connection keeps flashing to disconnected. Unfortunately when i flash back to my backup i still exhibit the same issues. I tried contacting US Cellular to see if they could do something w/ the connection but they don't see an issue on their end.
I believe i have the old radio and the rom may have only been for the OTA update. I am trying to find a RUU to get back to stock hoping that will fix it. I have tried 3 different RUU's for the PrimoC but keep getting either Model ID error or customer ID error. Does anyone know where i can find a RUU for US Cellular. Everything i find for the One V seems to be for Virgin Mobile (i'm a noob so they maybe compatible) but nothing for US Cellular.
HTC One V CDMA

Radio: 1.00.00.0524_2
HBoot: 1.56.000
I have two HTC One M8 phones. One is a T-mobile phone converted GPE. The other one is a brand new unlocked phone I just bought from HTC. I've been having some trouble with my GPE phone not having LTE service where my new unlocked one has full service (T-mobile network). Radio version on new phone is 1.24.21331147A1.09G. Old phone is 1.22 something. Is there a way to pull radio.img off the new phone for flashing to GPE phone? Or is there a flashable 1.24 radio version around somewhere?
Also, are radio images only device specific or are they also carrier specific and/or ROM specific? In other words, does it matter what carrier or ROM for any given radio image?
edit: My One M8 converted GPE is S-off and Super CID.
Hi there, I picked up an HTC One M9 for a good price from China and overall I am pretty pleased with it however it seems to be wired for CDMA updates only and so it is stuck on Android 6.0, as attempting to update it says that updates are only available over CDMA networks.
Rebooting to bootloader It tells me
*** Software status: Official ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
*** S-OFF ***
I have tried using a wide selection of RUU files to update the phone and pretty much every one of them gives me an error. For example RUU_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4.30.617.12 takes me through the install process, reboots the phone to the bootloader and after several warning screens tells me that it will update from 3.37.605.19 to 4.30.617.12 The phone shows it is uploading, but then quickly ends up frozen whilst the PC dialog shows:
ERROR [132]: SIGNARURE ERROR
Exiting reboots the phone back to the starting condition.
I've tried all of the RUU files that I could find (with a higher version) and had the same error. Not sure where to go next, any help very gratefully received!
Cheers,

Please take a look at the ReadMe thread. It will tell you why you can't use 4.x RUUs on a phone with a 3.x firmware and why you should never try to flash a GSM RUU on a CDMA device.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs
Thanks for your response and the redirect to the readme I can see that the RUU update path is not going to work. Is there any way to switch this phone to GSM or is it permanently stuck add a CDMA device?
Cheers

It's permanently stuck on the CDMA firmware. Those are two completely different technologies.
However, the CDMA M9 supports some GSM frequencies so it shouldn't be completely useless for you. You probably just won't get LTE with it.
In regard to android updates: I don't know whether there already is an android 7 update for the verizon variant (verizon is super slow). If there is you might be able to update the phone with an unofficial firmware pack (like the ones that Sneakyghost provides) since you already have S-OFF. Although Sneakyghost himself doesn't provide ones for verizon phones you might find some in the verizon M9 forum. Afterwards you would only need to re-flash the corresponding 4.x RUU (assuming that you want to stay on the stock rom - otherwise you could directly flash whichever custom rom you want to use).

If I were to pursue this strategy would the end product be a phone that had flipped to GSM and could connect to 4G? It feels like the difference is not a hardware one - that is the phones must have the hardware to go either way right? Or do they have a different comms chipset?

You cannot flash a GSM firmware on a CDMA device (or vice versa) without damaging it unrecoverably. The partition layout isn't the same. All you can do is upgrading or downgrading your firmware but switching your SKU (even if it's another CDMA one*) will result in damages. The difference between GSM and CDMA phones lies within their hardware and their software. Although newer CDMA phones support some GSM frequencies and are therefore able to connect to some GSM networks they still aren't able to get G/2G/3G/H+/LTE on every carrier's network.
* Not even the different CDMA variants of the M9 share the same partition layout.
I've bought second hand m9 , this last was flashed and rooted because I found supersu integrated with it, the problem is some settings are missing comparing with regular m9 like mobile network sharing for example, is there a way to fix the problem?
First of all, never use a second hand device without reinstalling the whole OS. I factory resetted my M9 right after buying it. (And rooted it, etc...)
Just look at you CID and MID and find the latest RUU for your phone and install it.
Maybe the person that had it before removed the certain settings, because the HTC settings app is quite modular from what i've seen. The settings app is split into many apps. Probably when debloating it he accidentally deleted that. (For example, if you install HTC's chinese performance management tool, a new setting will pop up in the settings app. Same with Sense Toolbox)
Or if is already rooted, just install S-Team ROM (sun_dream's ROM).
where can i find cid mid numbers?

I suggest you first install stock rom.
I have been searching for a while for how to update the rom image
I checked my phone and I found the following information:
***unlocked***
htc_himawhl pvt s-off
cid-11111111
os-3.41.651.4
feb 3 2016
I believe that my phone was for developers, so I downloaded devRUU "HTC One M9 4.30.617.12" from HTC website and I tried to install it but I got error 132 (get the correct RUU...)
I switched to another RUU "HTC One M9 4.27.651.4", but I got the same error error 132
I've tried to get my CID and MID numbers using CMD but I've got nothing, it shows me:
CID:
MID:
nothing, blank, no information. after some research I realized that it was CID free "unlocked"
the main question is, how can I upgrade my system to get my full setting options? I appreciate your help
Forget whatever you read. It's wrong and you should thank whichever god you believe in that the dev edition RUU didn't get flashed.
First of all, you own the Sprint version (SKU 651) which is a CDMA device. The dev edition RUU (SKU 617) is meant to be used on GSM devices only. Those are two completely different technologies used by different US network carriers. Flashing GSM files on CDMA devices or vice versa leads to unrecoverable hardware damages in most cases since those versions have different partition layouts. It's not even safe to flash Verizon (another CDMA carrier) files on a Sprint device or vice versa since even these models use different layouts.
Second, there is no such thing as an HTC phone without CID. The dev/"unlocked" version has CID BS_US002. If the app doesn't give you any info then it's not working. In addition, it's recommended to use the current firmware version for finding the correct RUU instead of MID and CID. With the latter you still need to guess a lot whereas the former gives you the exact version of the RUU that is flashable.
Btw, you should get rid of the SuperCID your phone is currently using (11111111) since it causes more problems than benefit.
You'll never be able to flash a 4.x RUU on a phone that uses firmware 3.x. The encryption keys changed between those two firmware versions. You'll need to update the phone by using unencrypted files (OTAs or - if you have S-OFF - custom made 4.x firmware packs). You should have S-OFF since getting the SCID is impossible without it (the same applies to getting rid of it). However, Sneakyghost doesn't support CDMA devices so I don't know whether there are any custom firmware packs you could use.
If I were you I'd take the time to carefully read the ReadMe thread and to make sure that I understand everthing. Then I'd use the conversion guide for getting rid of the SCID (you can ignore the warnings if you use a RUU for your current SKU 651). Afterwards, that phone should be able to receive 4.x OTAs so that it can get updated to the latest firmware.
Sidenote in regard to the original question with the missing settings: I could be wrong but if I'm not mistaken then it's completely normal that Sprint models lack the network sharing option since that carrier doesn't allow it and therefore asked HTC to remove that option.
what a wonderful explanation, it's all clear, thanks a lot!
one more question,
how do i know for sure that my M9 is CDMA and has not been only changed to sprint rom version ?
I've googled for the differences between CDMA and GSM, I found that CDMA network basically depends on the device itself, whereas the GSM network depends on the SIM card. However the Sprint HTC One M9 had a nano sim slot in it in order to connect to GSM 3G and 4G bands, which were not devloped yet in CDMA networks. if this is right, could I still use my GSM network through 3g or 4g?
Since LTE is a GSM-only technology there are not many "pure" CDMA devices, anymore. Nowadays, all CDMA phones support Sim cards and some GSM frequencies. However, that doesn't mean that you can get reception with every GSM carrier if you own a CDMA phone since different carriers use different frequencies. In addition, one and the same carrier might even be using different frequencies for its network depending on the location. You'll have to try out whether you can get mobile reception with your current carrier and that phone.
Assuming that no one tinkered with the hardware of that phone, you can find out its original MID by taking a look at the engraving on the bottom of the back side (c.f. the FAQ of the ReadMe thread).

actually the phone can read my gsm sim card, I have no problem with that except I want to make sure if it is CDMA version or not
I've looked everywhere in the internet but I didn't find a direct answers
Mhm... That MID belongs to the T-Mobile US (GSM) model. But your firmware is a CDMA one. The question is whether your phone still has its original backplate or not. Normally, cross-flashing GSM and CDMA will make the phone failing to recognize sim cards.
You could contact HTC and ask them whether they can tell you what kind of M9 you own with the help of its IMEI.

Dear Leo-pard,
could you please help me out....is your problem solved after chatting with HTC Customer care..
I'm facing same problem as my HTC M9 is also not showing Mobile Network Sharing Option....
Please help me out also....
I'll be waiting for your reply...
A lot of carriers charge extra for hotspotting. More than likely mobile network sharing will be off because the carrier wants you to pay for it. What I don't know is if it is coded into the firmware or not.
Hey @Flippy498
I have a sitting HTC m9 and like you said have missing mobile network sharing settings. My phone is s off with locked bootloader.
What can I do to use USB tethering it mobile hotspot? Can I use a third party app to use them?
Thanks
