Sprint HTC 10 on T-Mobile - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hey all,
I just picked up an unlocked HTC 10 to upgrade from my Nexus 5. Completely loving the phone and wanting to get one for my brother as a gift. That said, I've seen the Sprint version on sale locally through Craigslist for cheap. Does anyone know if the Spring version will work on T-Mobile?

It will not, sprint has a weird baseband thing where only sprint phones work with sprint and no other carrier. Sorry!

I don't mean to necro this thread too much but I was wondering if having S-Off would overcome this or is it a hardware thing?

Sprint hardware code is WHL when unlocked model is WL..
See below how the LTE band support varies between them..

Long delayed replied but 100% false information.
Where do these people get their information, this is supposed to be XDA

Yes it will. I actually tried this. There is a guide to unlock the sim on the sprint subforum. I followed that guide, popped in a sprint sim and changed the radio mode and It worked

Flash to Virgin Mobile

Is it possible to flash this phone to virgin mobile? Since it uses CDMA and runs on sprints network.

unfortunately, i don't know of any guides on this

Well i think sprint owns Virgin mobile to start, so i think they rather keep your money somehow then let you go to another carrier.

Don't speculate on things you don't know. Sprint will not HELP anyone out in anyway to get a non-VM phone on VM be it a Sprint phone or otherwise.

[Q]

Probably just answered before, But I looked and didn't see it.
I seen on Newegg.com they are selling an Unlocked Galaxy Nexus. I don't want to leave Sprint for Verizon. Been with them for over 10 years. But, If I purchase the Unlocked Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Can I make it work with Sprint's? Since they use the same towers for Roam and such?
If no one replies to my question I'll take it as "It's been answered".
No, the newegg unlocked phone will only work on GSM carriers.

Of course Also, for what it's worth the Verizon version won't work on Sprint either, so you'll have to switch if you want the phone

nope.
Not sure why you even think it would work. There is no GSM radio in the phone.

Unfortunately the technology that Verizon and AT&T use for their networks are different and not compatible with each other. GSM phones (AT&T, T-Mobile) can be used on different networks but CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) are usually only able to operate on the network they are sold on. CDMA technology is a bit strange because you can't even switch devices between Sprint's and Verizon's networks.

That Sim card slot is to provision LTE.

Because misinformed users often think a sim slot indicates the phone is GSM based. Even now, a lot of people are shocked and appalled when I tell them my Verizon phone needs a sim card.

that sim slot is verizon LTE bands only.
so let me make this clear
The Verizon Nexus will NEVER work on any GSM carrier. period. end of story.

we did say no and then you questioned us. thats when you get a more jerk filled answer.
IDK why your bashing him, he didn't say," nooooo it does work on AT&T!"
He said after you said no,"It has a sim card slot why wouldn't it work?"
All you got to do is answer that question. This is XDA, not BAA(Be an ass).
If he has a question just answer. End of story. Ik this is an obvious answer and he could've dug harder on Google, but who cares whatever, just answer it.

[Q] Blacklisted?

Well it seems that CL may have finally gotten the best of me...
I bought a TMO GS3 T999 from a CL seller. I went to the TMO store and got the microsim. I got home to realize that the sim was still not registered so I contacted TMO. I was informed that the phone was blacklisted for being reported stolen.
What are my options now? Can the phone be unlocked and used with StraightTalk?

That sucks but....
Changing IMEI is illegal and can not be asked about how to change on XDA.
Sell it for parts is the only thing I can think of.

Another problem with that, as of Jan 26 in the US it is illegal to unlock a phone unless the Service Provider sends you the unlock code.

Definitely agreed if you have no other option do it how you can forget that bs just another way trying "scare" people. Companies just want you get a new phone if you already have one and not unlocked.

Look guys I think the law is a bunch of Bull also. I was not trying to come off as a bad guy, just point out some of the problems. Yes it will be overturned but it has not been done as yet. All you guys jumped at me like some kind of Gang. Meant no harm was just passing on information.
The TMO chat agent actually suggested that I get it unlocked and use it elsewhere. She even gave me a website to try so Im guessing they arent that concerned about it.
Anyways, back on topic. If it is unlocked, can it be used with StraightTalk? Or because I would be using a TMO StraightTalk sim would it be blocked?

Not our intention and I wasn't directing at you its just we are speaking on how we dislike that particular law
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Due to site rules I can't tell you how but everything else I gotta say is legit so please no haters. You could change your imei (which I've been actually
thinking about getting a bad imei gs3 and test this out) and should be able to get service but I don't know about 4g. Technically since tmobile doesn't
use aaa passwords but sim cards you should be good. I would suggest you back up the nv items and so fourth then test it out.
P.S I'm not attacking anyone with this but did want to say people that made comments like unlocking is illegal or similar remarks do nothing but waste time and don't help anything. also it's a moderators job to handle those situations. p.s I won't be back in this thread for awhile if ever so please don't troll it up to prove a point to me. Good luck jayeggs

I got screwed by T-Mobile. They sent me a warranty replacement S3 with a bad IMEI. They told me that my phone was reported stolen from the past and asked if I stole it. They have some gaul if you ask me.

I'm sure there will be if the user base calls for it. Hasn't been made yet because the device technically doesn't launch until tomorrow on T-Mobile.
I'm curious if the T-Mo version will work flawlessly with AT&T. I've heard the Sprint and Verizon devices can be buggy.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

I just put in the Trans #, they require a scan of the receipt anyway, so I recon it's just to cross check.
The proof of purchase will be the scanned document.

The only T-Mobile apps on the phone are the T-Mobile visual voicemail app and the T-Mobile account app.

Even with the unlocked version we still had to go through HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP. I am willing to bet that it will be the same with the T-Mobile version.
