Hi all,
In the specs from At&t Desire Eye, there is no Band 7 (2600Mhz).
Is there a way to get it? Using a Rom from other region or something alike?
Have anyone tried it?
Thanks in advance.

I am not completely sure, but if a band is not mentioned in the specs sheet, I highly doubt that a custom rom would do any good.
It is hardware after all, not the software.

Not always.
Sometimes the hardware is the same, but the software is tweaked to just understand some bands.
I have a HTC M8 (sprint) working with GSM and lots of bands did not mention in the specs, thanks to a rom

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.
Would it be possible for me to get an unlocked htc one x on verizon's 4g lte? Id probably wait for the upgradable extended battery or mugen to release there method, but i want this phone so badly!

Not unless HTC releases a CDMA version of the HOX.

Will that change any of the specs, unlocking it? Since it's not intended for verizon's network

Thinking of unlocking a Verizon Wireless LTE phone for use on AT&T's network, or vice versa? Think again. Verizon Wireless confirmed today that its LTE phones will not "be compatible on other LTE networks in the U.S." because "the phones will be on different frequencies," according to Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney.

Can you guys get to the Phone Info screen with the radio menu's? I heard they were taking that out of Sense 4.0, but if not this might be worth looking into. Rezound dev's have it working on GSM now with S-Off running MIUI, If this phone has "hidden" CDMA radios we could have a lot of cross platform dev's without them all having the same phones.

It doesn't. Nor does it have LTE. thus phone will never work on Verizon save someone opening it themselves and transplanting some CDMA radios into it using sorcery.

The AT&T model won't work on Verizon either. The Rezound is a world phone that's why it works on GSM.
Nice insult though.

As the chip is Snapdragon 8930, which containes worldwide telecommunciation ability of using GSM / WCDMA / CDMA EV-DO(3G) / TD-SCDMA / LTE-TDD / LTE-FDD. How to make One VX able to use all of these bands?
Thanks,

The baseband is capable but a lot of features can be disable either by Qualcomm or HTC, hardware wise. Most likely, it is not possible. Besides, this model is exclusive to AT&T as far as I know.

It is "exclusive" to AT&T however it can be simunlocked pretty easily. Runs fine on T-Mobile 2G/3G.
I don't have T-Mobile 4G/LTE access in my area to know if it works fine on that band.

when i had it i was getting 4g, and it was pretty well steady, i wasnt able to get LTE, since they didnt have LTE for tmobile yet
OP wants to use this device in another region. This is a gsm only device with hspa 3g and lte 4g.

Yeah, I agree. But one of the big interests for smartphone hackers is to make the phone work or run beyond general-users' experience, like HTC HD, which can run Windows Mobile 6.5 / Windows Phone 7.X / Android / even Meego OS (Some OS may not stable, but it is fun). If One VX can work under all of the bands its chip supports, then I think it will be another amazing phone in future.

heyy, I have done bootloader unlock,s-off and root....how can I use my other carrier ship?? I put it in but requests pin..
someone help mee
there are some devices that have this kind of features blocked by software but most of them have a hardware restriction. phones like droid razr, htc rezound, samsung s3 verizon to name a few, have this restriction by software to work globaly (CDMA+GSM).
im not saying it can not be done, just unlikely (by software).
back when windows mobile 6 was still alive we saw a lot people with this kind of concerns. different models with the almost the same specifications. htc models with qwerty keyboard had tv out while non-qwerty ones had fm radio. others with the bands. this is even involves laws. the country i live the 700mhz spectrum is still being used for analog tv, hence, no other kind of devices can use that frequency.
again im not say it cannot be done at all, just unlikely.
my suggestion, search other forums of similar devices to see if anyone has tryed something like that.
Hi guys,
I am been for while on Samsung phones and bought M8 yesterday. Samsung had phones like S4 with different Hardware and Model numbers based on Carrier and Region. The ROMs are different to flash.
Is that the same case for M8? I bought M8 from Australia (Unlocked) and thinking to flash GPE. Will that be problem?
Thanks in advance
Bump!!!!

As far as I know, yes, but the differences tend to be minor. I can already tell from your signature here that we have a different phone. I also believe that there is much less variety in the hardware than what the model number would suggest (i.e. phones with different model numbers may be identical).
AFAIK, the M8s sold in Asia should be clocked at 2.5 GHz instead of 2.3, although this shouldn't make any noticeable difference.
Thank you for the reply.
Can I install GPE on device? As far I know it 2.5gHz clocked.

I believe you can, as I can't recall hearing any major limitations about the GPE conversion. I am not sure anyway, I have no experience with the GPE. This is likely to be explained on the GPE conversion thread, just look for it. Good luck.
Does anyone know if flashing super cid then flashing att firmware will enable band 2 for us m8 users in Cincinnati? Band 2 is enabled on the att variant m8. If not us T-Mobile users in Cincinnati are screwed. Thanks to anyone who may reply and possibly help.

I don't think that would work, as the hardware isn't there. However, I don't know why you think that we are screwed. T-Mobile isn't going to deploy LTE on a band that their phones don't support.

Easy tiger. I actually live in Cincinnati and did some reading up on it, and it does seem they are using a mix of band 2 and 4, and for whatever reason t-mobile decided not to have that band in their version of the One. Poor choice on their part, and a shame for us that have one. That said, I still don't think it's as simple as enabling it in software (though I wish it were).

I didn't want to come across rude. I'm near cincy also. But I speak to an engineer daily for our area. He stated that lte in Cincinnati is on band 2.

I've gotten most of my information from howardforums, but the consensus there seemed to be that a lot of the city was, but that some of the outlying areas used band 4 as well. I live in NKY and go over to Eastgate regularly, and I would love some LTE, but I may just have to wait for the m9 for it to happen. That said, I don't know that LTE is even rolled out very wide so far, but I'm not sure.
Yes, this is an issue
Yes, this is an issue for those of us with a T-Mobile branded One M8. I have recently witnessed my M8 on Edge signals in Charlottesville, VA (where band 2 LTE is being rolled out) while my wife's OG Moto G LTE gets band 2 LTE. I'm trying to do the research to figure out hardware configurations of the phone, etc. There is a thread here with an M8 radio collection, but nobody seems to have posted yet that they have successfully enabled LTE band 2 on a T-Mobile or GPE One M8.
