Hi, I am wondering if it's possible to enable all LTE bands on a developer edition M9 (or a s-off, rooted M9) with some sort of hack. My current phone is HTC rezound with M9 (retailed from verizon) on its way, and I am quite off with the phone technologies nowaway.

Not sure what bands you need or want to do....but this thread from the verizon M8 might be useful.....obviously you may have to do things a little differently but I would presume the process would be somewhat the same (once you are S-Off)

Thanks for the quick reply. That helps to clear my confusion somewhat but I think I've asked the wrong question. Please read the new thread... sorry don't mean to flood the forum...

I am getting a Sprint M8 today and I was looking around trying to find an absolute answer but have not. Are all M8 variants able to run the same ROMs?

Obviously not without some extra effort and work since most will focus on GSM devices and not CDMA(Sprint and Verizon). Here is a list of ROMs in the Sprint section.

Hello.
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success (or has even tried) unlocking LTE band 1 in a US model. I ordered an M9 but I am hoping to be able to unlock Band 1 to use it in Asia when I travel there.
I know there is a thread and people had some success adding bands to the M8, so just wondering if it'd work with the M9.

Thanks!
As far as I know, not possible on the M8 or M9. Where in that thread is the M8 referenced?
At the very least it was possible on the Verizon M8 for european bands:

Yes I believe that hack requires access to a menu found only on the CDMA menus.
I see. That's too bad. I wonder why they wouldn't just include Band 1 like so many other companies do.
Sorry for waking the dead

Verizon is going to let me choose between an unlocked phone and developer model phone. Which one should I choose? (in terms of ROM support, ease up update access, root...etc)
Nevermind, its unlocked version only. I get to try the phone out and see if it is still plagued by the blurry, color/light bleed/auto focus issue or not. If it is, they will let me get a Note 4

How is that going to work the dev and unlocked m9's are supposed to be gsm only meaning no cdma ? And the LTE bands for verizon are not supposed to be enabled on the non verizon versions of the m9 ?
Actually all the verizon m9's are unlocked because verizon does not sim lock phones any more they just lock the bootloaders and wont let htc dev unlock them.

Technically, All newer phones have both GSM and CDMA radios. The Qualcomm chips (from what I read) have both radios in them already. My dad has a GS4 (CDMA) and is on a GSM network in Israel. So, saying this, it only makes sense that it should be able to work. It's just weird
Ima tearing a new butthole into Verizon because of all the bullcrap they've told me (I don't know enough about the unlocked models), so you could probably count this as more crap. However, they did also offer a Galaxy Note 4 at a discount (on edge). If I get that for a total of 650 (instead of $600 for M9) or $600, should I? I love the M9's speakers with a strong passion, but I do like the bigger screen and higher resolution...let alone the better camera...I read into mods and of course with Knox and all..I dunno about root.

Ok so lets say all of them have cdma built in and your right, so then how do you get the bands enabled for verizon LTE on a gsm m9 such as the unlocked m9 sold by htc directly ?
The posts about this on the m8 all required s-off to enable other bands such as enable the bands on a verizon m8 to get Tmobile LTE and then people still had issues having to toggle airplane mode all the time to get the Tmobile LTE back working on their verizon m8.
I had tried and tried to convert my verizon m8 to a dev edition like people did on the gsm versions which they all could but no one ever figured out how to get it done.
So my ultimate question is how would they get verizon LTE bands enabled on a gsm based carrier unlocked m9 that is not s-off ?

Oh and tear into verizon all you like bro let me help with that lol as I hate them as much as you do.
And I think the sammys have the bands enabled for basically all LTE in all the major carriers like the nexus 6 so they can run on any network.
I think they should require all phones to work on any network just like the nexus 6 so one version can work on any network, I guess we can dream right that would be my only complaint with htc that they dont enable the bands for all networks here in the USA.

1. You are probably right about the T-Mobile thing, but it IS T-mobile. I don't even think they, or sprint can keep up with the big boys. So If I got the GSM unlocked...and did the paypal buy over a year option, I wouldn't re-activate on Verizon for quite a while. I plan on going to Israel so I don't need a CDMA device for a while...Even so, the M9 has the bands for all of the networks, last time I checked. Saying that, I will already have S-OFF because it would be a dev edition, or the unlocked version that I would just S-OFF through HTC Dev. Saying ALL of this, even if I do come back to USA and CAN'T be on Verizon (whom I think is better then ATT), then I could go ATT. Ya know? That is IF I came back to the USA. So what do you think now? (With more information about the situation).
Hi all, I bought an HTC M9 from Asia and was very disappointed to learn that it does not work with Wind Mobile in Canada. Wind Mobile uses the AWS 1700 MHz band (same as T-mobile) which my phone does not carry. Will rooting enable the AWS band to allow me to use my phone with Wind?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There are some variants of the HTC One M9 - do you know which one you have? For instance, is it branded to a particular carrier or is it a developer/unlocked version?
I don't know if bands can be unlocked, but we can at least help you find out what bands are supported by the variant you have.
Technically, I think (and someone with greater knowledge will have to confirm) a radio image from a variant that works with the 1700mhz band should do the trick. If, and only if, you variant support the band. Post all var info from download mode. Fastboot Getvar all while in download mode, iirc.
Kind Regards

If it's the developers version. They don't have 1700. Been like that since m8
This didn't work in M7, or M8.. Sorry really doubtful if it will work on M9
That's bad news..
Pardon my ignorance, but doesn't HTC explicitly mention the 1700 AWS band as supported on the developer/unlocked versions of the M9? Perhaps someone with more experience & expertise can confirm.

Hi,
Anybody has any updates or success regarding this? I am still having problems getting 1700 AWS working with my M9. (M9u international version) It will be great if someone could just let me know if they have done it previously (or not), so at least I know it is possible or if I should stop trying!
Thank you.

can i turn my European htc one m8 to verzione
I think you mean "Verizon"? If so, then the answer is NO, you can't.
Verizon is a CDMA network, and that is not supported by the Euro M8 version hardware. You can't get the Euro M8 working on Verizon, it's not possible.
thanks
Looks like you aren't located in the US. Why do you want to change it to Verizon?
