m8x problems with signal (no 4g/lte, all others work) - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everybody, i have a friend in chile with a problem, he does not speak nor writes English very well so on his behalf i am asking for some help.
he bough an unlocked international version of the phone, for some reason down in chile carriers carry all the latest but the m8, crazy right? anyhow, he made 100%sure the bands where the appropriate for his carrier, but the problem he has is that he does not get lte or 4g, get's everything else but 4g/lte. We have tried all the obvious steps, we made sure the phone was searching for 4g/lte, changed the apn, even went to the carrier and explained that he bought the phone, it has the correct bands etc, and he got told "well too bad is you didn't buy that through us". weird thing is, that he had a m7 that he also got in the same way, and it worked flawlessly. So here we are out of ideas on what it could be, and what we could do.
here's an image of his bootloader in case it can be useful ( cid is htc_621)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86252213/Pictures/One m8 Gold/IMG_4260.JPG
anyway, we where thinking that maybe rooting, s-off and sub-sequentially installing a custom rom would help?
anyhow, if you guys need any other info, please let me know and ill be happy to provide it, and thank you in advance for any help!

Try changing the band with this command: *#*#4636#*#*
I JUST did with my M7. Using Entel!

You can't without soldering RF amplifiers from a G1 to handle t-Mobile UMTS frequences.
Actually editing the Radio ROM would do so. I contacted jockyw2001 awhile ago about doing so and he said that there are no tools currently available for us to edit the chipset microcode in order to do so, even though the rest of the process is supposedly easy.
what ROM have you

Am I out of luck? or just stupid?

Hi everyone, i am obviously a new user. I have been browsing these forums for the past 3 hours and looking up information online. I am new to this phone (literally like two days of knowing it even existed) and i want to flash a new rom to it.
My stepmother is an engineer for AT&T,(obviously that makes my carrier AT&T) so she gets these phones when they are test models. Needless to say, they are always very buggy and have old firmware, etc.
Well the Rhodium that i have is a model RHOD300... And it has an extremely buggy OS(?). It lags horribly and is very frustrating (one of the downsides to a free phone)
Now, i read that the unlocking program only supports RHOD400, and RHOD500. So what do i do?? I noticed someone else on this forum
"DaveTheTyntIIGuy" also has a RHOD300 model. and his signature says it is running a custom rom.
I am just worried i will brick my phone, and i am not sure what to do.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
You probably saw this thread and gone through it too quickly. It says it does not support RHOD400 and RHOD500.
Go back and have a read through again. All info is there. Good luck!
actually, i saw this thread
and since it said
"only RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids are accepted"
I am pretty sure i need that thread since i am on AT&T right? I thought AT&T was CDMA.
The link you posted said "CDMA-GSM worldphone version is not accepted"
And when i power on my phone, it says "AT&T Worldphone"

AT&T is a GSM carrier, thus making your phone a GSM phone.
AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM. Sprint, Verizon, and Telus are CDMA.
Answer to my main question: I am just stupid ^^ Thank you so much!

[Q] T-Mo/AT&T unlock

Is there a way to make a rooted and SIM-unlocked DInc2 usable on AT&T and T-Mo networks in the US? Any sort of flashable upgrade to any internal components, hacked radio or whatnot that would achieve that purpose?
Really?? Your question wasn't answered when you posted this in the development forum? You need to sim unlock your phone via verizon or xtc clip.

Ah, rude comment followed by subpar answer, apparently that's the norm on xda? What would the world be if we didn't continuously punish people for harmless mistakes? Grow up.

I will be as nice as I possibly can.
LEARN TO READ, will ya?
The phone is *already* SIM unlocked and rooted. However, Verizon blocks AT&T and T-Mobile SIMs even on SIM-unlocked phones. Hence the question.

Thanks for the support, snowman, but this was no mistake.
The question was phrased perfectly, and I am sure I am not the only one who would benefit from a solution.
In fact, the whole reason I posted it in the development forum initially is because, based on my research, there is no solution as of yet, and if it is possible at all, it will probably require further developers' involvement to find it.
If anyone here wants to prove me wrong, I would appreciate a concrete answer or a link to a solution.
I'm fairly certain I've read of the DINC 2 being used on T-Mobile successfully, not sure if I've read of AT&T though. Can't for the life of me remember where I read it though, probably here or Droid-Forums.net.

Thanks, but I don't believe this thread answers the question. Or am I missing something?
Haven't tried it, but here's a link that should offer a solution:
androidforums.com/htc-droid-incredible-2/327419-sim-unlock-issue.html
The thread contains instructions for how to input an unlock code that should allow you to use other carriers' SIM card both in the US and abroad.
Good luck.

Correct me if im wrong, if I use the xtc clip (which i did), I do not need to call Verizon for a sim unlock code?

Have you done everything suggested there? (Changing to GSM, changed APN settings, etc)
If I'm not mistaken its a global phone. However the GSM frequency used abroad is different than in the states. Therefore I don't think it's possible.

It's a quad band phone, so the problem is not with frequencies.
The problem is with verizon specifically precluding AT&T and T-Mo SIMs from working even when DInc2 is SIM-unlocked. Not sure which part of firmware is responsible for it, but I'd imagine it's flashable, so, given attention from the right developer, fixable.
I would really prefer to hear from people that know of a solution or are able to produce one. Lots of guesses resulting from being misinformed or, worse yet, misreading the original question just distract everyone and make it less likely that the real solution will ultimately be found.

If you know someone that can write modem firmware then it's possible. but good luck with finding someone that can do that.
I can't remember where but its on xda somewhere. Apparently 3g won't work due to different bands. I really just can't remember.

I unlocked my Dinc2 through a code from VZ. I can be on AT&T or T-Mo's network for EDGE; 3G no so much.

[Q] GNex Verizon for use in other cdma operator

Just bought via ebay Gnex Verizon but really need some answers here..
1. Please info if Verizon Gnex is an inject type or RUIM type? because there is microSIM slot available
2. I'm checking through adb shell using "su getprop" that the parameter
[ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha]: [Verizon]
[ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric]: [310004]
Anyone know if this mean the operator is locked? and please someone help me how to change these to match my local operator.
Thanks a lot.
really need help here...any links related or anything that sounds similar would be very much appreciated. thanks
vzw stays on vzw.
sorry you can only activate it on vzw.
I may be wrong here, but as long as your CDMA operator is willing to activate a device that is not their own (which doesn't happen at all any longer in any North American carrier), then I think it may be possible.

the carrier has to be willing to also flash/change a bunch of items on the phone itself (which they arent anymore really). to do this, you have to have a expensive piece of software ($99) to even complete the process.

These guys here have made progress. From what I read, phone and text work fine on other carriers, but they are still working on data.
@Zepius @efrant, dunno if it will work or not...but it is a start.
many thanks to you guys...and xda

[Help] Using LG G3 Verizon model on Sprint Network

As the title implies, I've tried my own research and came up with nothing on the matter. The Verizon model does not work with a Sprint SIM though it is claimed to be unlocked off the manufacturer so I'm leaning towards compatibility being the problem, is there any way to solve this? Maybe something can be done if the phone is rooted and using TWRP? Thanks for any help.

Nope and there won't be at least through legal means because Sprint won't attach Verizon's IMEI of the device to their SIM in order for it to accept and use Sprint network, unless if it's an apple product... (lol really). Funny how devices come unlocked or can be unlocked upon request due to law but loophole comes to play now SIM's can be locked to a devices IMEI rendering anything you try the SIM on useless other than it's original device. So much for having an unlocked device...
Just wondering -- have y'all tried any of the solutions mentioned in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/ls990-red-t3033809
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/unlock-sprint-ls990-cdma-carrier-t2985523
(I know both of these are for putting a sprint phone on verizon, but maybe the NV/RUIM trick works in the other direction as well?)
