Check for model number.
All models begin with the ID prefix XT1635
-01 is the Verizon Bootloader Locked Variant
-02 is the Internat. GSM Unlocked Variant
-03 is the Chinese retcn variant
-02/-03 both have unlocked bootloaders; however, on -03 you will not receive OTAs (at least as what I've heard).
If you do purchase an -03, definitely flash a custom ROM. There's a thread detailing how to enable basebands on all models- I'd check it out if you're anywhere but China as the -03 variant is missing a ton of bands for use in the US (or Europe, for that matter).

I'm looking to buy a HTC 10 at the lowest cost possible and it is currently
CAD$999.99 directly from HTC Canada
CAD$899.99 from Bell Mobility Canada
USD$699.99 directly from HTC USA
I was wondering if there were hardware variants of the HTC 10? I'm looking to take advantage of the unlocked bootloader to directly override the roms.
I'm actually on Bell Mobility so is there a specific modem I need to get to have the best LTE signal?
Yes.
You're gonna have to get the Unlocked/developer version.
The region identifier for that version is 617.

Is the Canada Unlocked the same as the US unlocked?
Yes it is. I ordered the unlocked phone from HTC Canada and I received the US unlocked version. It actually came from Indiana even.

Cool thanks, have you unlocked the bootloader, trwp, s off and installed any roms?
Is the modem also the same for Canadian carrier support?
No, I haven't done anything of the sort with this phone yet. I would believe it's the same modem as the US variant as well. Can't see how it would be different.

Variation of Moto Z2 Force for US Telco or countries
(Verizon) XT1789-01
(US Cellular) XT1789-02
(Sprint) XT1789-03
(AT&T/T-Mobile) XT1789-04
(Outside US) XT1789-05
(For Brazil) XT1789-07
Maybe this thread can be helpful for some...
Which are the models which the bootloader can be unlocked and use globally (outside of US)?
Please add EU unbranded XT1789-06
(I think this is the "real" Outside US, while XT1789-05 should be Chinese version, as it was on Griffin...)

Generally by Default Verizon Devices are Global, and in this case fot the XT-1789-01 You can place another carriers sim in the device and it will just work (as long as the bands are supported)
Historically, US Cellular phones have been able to run on Verizon LTE bands and have had their bootloader be unlock able. Can anyone confirm?

Verizon are global unlocked but not able to accept unbranded rom so not really global.
XT1789-06, uk edition, retus, single sim
i was just at Verizon, the OEM unlockiny tool is there on the z2 force . So Unlocking bootloader is perhaps possible.

Verizon and AT&T models are blocked on Motorola/Lenovo's unlock site by the unique identifier. Some parts of it that get decoded from the key your phone spits out has info for Moto to know which exact device is requesting the unlock code.

If you owned an exclusivity device, aka the Droid series, of course you couldn't unlock the bootloader from Motorola site itself. you had to use s-off. I do not know if they updated their builld to support 2017 phones

To my understanding the Chinese version of Snapdragon 845 is only one that can be bootloader unlocked. How do you tell if the version is Chinese? In the about screen it only says Snapdragon 845...
Where did you "understand" that from? And how those people knew where their chips was manufactured?
Also, even if that would be true (I don't buy it), it would mean that the specific CPU has a hidden bug that can be exploited by the Chinese government too... Is that what you want from your S9?

I got the info from here
*detection*
Code:
As long as they are Exynos, or the Chinese snapdragon, the US Model Snapdragons are bootloader locked
Check the model number. The SM-G9600 is the unlocked Snapdragon variant.

That doesn't tell that the processor Snapdragon is Chinese or US, but that the phone models are US (and have the bootloader locked) or Chinese. So the title of this thread is wrong.
IMO there is no need to specify "US Snapdragon" since the US models have only Snapdragon chips. There is no "US Exynos".
model G9650 and G9600 are chinese/HK variant S9+/9 ,they are all snapdragon SOC and basically the same and can flash firmware to each other without breaking the knox. as I know G9650&9600 can be unlocked bootloader but few people would do it cuz losing samsung pay. you can go to odin flash mode to see if your s9/+ is whatever variant.
I can't seem to find which XT1710 variant is going to be the US unlocked version that supports all major carriers in the US. I believe it is the XT1710-01, Verizon is XT1710-02, International GSM is XT1710-06. Is this correct? I am wanting to buy a Z2 Play but I want the unlocked USA version that I can use with Verizon but also have unlockable bootloader ( so not the XT1710-02 ), so I'm thinking XT1710-01 is the one I want. Thanks

You are correct. I have that same model. You have to be careful altering it from stock though. I lost my IMEI and have been unable to get it back. I wish I could tell you how to avoid my mistake.
I recently just bought a S20 Ultra that has a unlockable bootloader. A little while back, I had a Galaxy S9 that I could completely convert the entire device to U1. Is that even possible with this device ? To fully convert the CSC and bootloader ect, to a US model ?

That was then. Each model is specific to a region and can not be flash with software from another region. I.E you cannot flash G9880 with firmware from G988U or G988U1 or the other way around.
What exactly changed from the S9 to the S20 that made that impossible ?

Any luck? I just got one in Canada and it only has 3g ad 4g so I was hoping I could flash a csc file.
So I attempted to edit the band config using QPST and QXDM, but I'm very unfamiliar with both programs and how to actually read and write information to the modem using those programs. Definitely not for the average user. Back in the days when devices had ESN numbers, I used to flash software using QPST and QXDM but there is a lot that has changed with those programs, and I wouldn't even know how to do that stuff today. If anyone has any knowledge about those two programs that can help me unlock all the US 5G bands for AT&T and Verizon that would extremely helpful.
