Sprint HTC 10 is a different animal. The bands will not unlock with the conversion and the GSM radio from Unlocked FW is not compatible. You would still need to flash the Sprint Radio back.

did you managed to unlock lte band for sprint htc 10 (bootloader unlocked, S-off)? i tried to flash with US Unlocked but no imei, flash back to sprint RUU, and nv unlock it. now i'm stuck at 3G and 2G. tried with DFS i need to unlock LTE band 3 or 8 but also useless.
any advice?
the attachment is after i reflash to Sprint RUU
thanks
I have a Sprint unlocked variant running 4G on Telcel MX, in theory you can flash another firmware variant (S-OFF, of course), but the radio must be still from the equivalent Sprint firmware...

I moved on to a v20 and v10, but as I recall yes I did unlock them for ATT specifically. Tmobile LTE support is already there, but not ATT(missing one of the bands I forget which)

Google around for LTE band unlock QXDM method for htc. You'll need the htc diag mode drivers and Qualcomm's QXDM program. I was able to unlock all of the US bands for my phone.
Edit
This was the method I used. It still works in LeeDroid (used a few weeks ago): https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-change-network-bands-gsm-devices-t3135401

Sounds good, basic process was this:
1. Install HTC diag drivers
2. Dial ##diag# in dialer or execute adb shell commands to enter diag mode
3. Open QXDM, go to options and communications, select your device and open communications to it (don't remember exactly how to do this, it was pretty self explainatory)
4. In QXDM, go to NV-items then find the LTE configs (pointed out in the threads linked)
5. Use an LTE nv calculator to find the DEC number for the bands you want (select all bands you want and it'll put out a number)
6. Enter this number into QXDM and write it. (there are two places to enter it)
7. Exit diag mode and reboot.
8. This should survive for quite some time, any time you do a ruu double check to see if it held. Factory wipes from recovery should be fine. Using a new rom should be fine. When I wiped modemst1 and modemst2 I lost this and had to redo it.

using QXDM and NV calculator to change/add the lte band i want.
it just not picking up any lte signal from band 3 on *#*#4636#*#*
perhaps any step i'm missing?

Are you 100% sure that the sprint version can't work on verizon even with unlocking all the bands and unlocking sim? What about doing this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-convert-unlocked-to-verizon-t3380615? Or does your phone have to be officially US unlocked version to do the switch? I'm s-off, sim unlocked, using the sprint version with AT&T right now and want to use it with a verizon mvno. So is that absolutely not possible or should I just give it a shot and see what happens? Thanks

The Sprint version requires the Sprint radios are in use, otherwise it won't get any signal. The Sprint radios are incompatible with Verizon, so it can't be done.

I am an AT&T subscriber and in the market for an LG G3. The AT&T version comes with a locked bootloader which means I will probably never be able to install a custom recovery and flash CyanogenMod on it which is a must for me. I realize that other versions will not work with AT&T LTE and I am completely fine with just HSDPA+ - which versions of the phone support AT&T HSDPA+ and come with unlocked bootloader?

No, but I've heard of getting unlock codes for as little as $6 on Ebay.
Plus Tmo is rumored to start a new thing soon where they put an unlock app either on the phone itself or on the Play Store and you can unlock it right there.
You'd want to get the Tmo version, though, because it's fully compatable with AT&T's LTE bands.
I have an s-offed att branded phone on t-mobile. It's running an old ruu t-mobile. I just downloaded an update to lollipop. I can just run the update?
Possibly...
you need to check a few things... what's your phone's cid set to? (you can see this in your boot loader screen).
As a general rule, I've found that if I run t-mobile radio's I have more problems than if I run either a native AT&T or the DEV edition radio and then t-mobile firmware on-top of that radio... my phone doesn't seem to do some of the hspa bands from t-mobile...
check your cid, before you do much of anything else...
If he's running a tmo ruu, i would assume he's running super cid.
I would also have to assume that he's changed the mid to tmo?
scifan, have you considered using DFS to set your bands?

I have a Verizon branded m8 and am using a t-mobile mvno
(straight talk) SIM. I am considering changing RoMs from viper one to one off if the t-mobile thread in order to solve this problem of random service disconnections. Should I switch to a different Ruu? Should I have changed the RUU when I was on stock?

DO NOT, repeat DO NOT try to "convert" your Verizon M8 to T-Mob (with T-Mob RUU). The partitioning (possibly hardware) is different. The T-Mob RUU won't work, and may result in a permanent radio brick.
I'm not sure what is causing the service disconnects. Does the issue occur if you only use 2G and 3G? You may consider looking at enabling the proper LTE bands used by T-Mobile. From what I see, the Verizon M8 supports the proper bands that T-Mob uses for 2G and 3G. However, the VZN version only supports one of the two LTE bands (Band 4) used by T-Mob (Bands 4 and 17). Enabling LTE band 17 may or may not help. The missing support for LTE Band 17 may be related to your disconnect issues, but that's just a theory.
The hitch here, is that trying to enable LTE Band 17 requires s-off, which costs $25 by sunshine app (if you are not already s-off). And its not a sure solution, so may be money wasted.
You can take a look at the following threads, on how to enable bands on the Verizon M8. But I don't personally vouch for these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/how-to-convert-cdma-m8-sprint-vzw-gsm-t3303812
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/unlock-bands-qualcomm-device-phone-t2880239
Awesome thanks. I paid the 25 dollars for s-off already to root the phone. Sunshine works like a charm.
I'll check out the links you provided. I have a feeling your theory is correct. You described how I felt the problem was but lacked the knowledge to produce words to describe. Thanks again.
I don't know whether this is the right thread to ask this question but if you do know kindly advise me; i recently bought a T-mobile M8 which was imported from USA and had sim unlocked but i don't know other details except that its not rooted (that i checked with supersu). May be it was imported as scrap since it's an old model and may be it was unlocked from t-mobile, i just have no idea. Now the phone is asking me for a few updates which describe to tell me that these are intended to prepare phone for marshmallow update (currently it's on jellybean). Should i allow update to progress or not? i don't want to loose sim unlock.

Hello, All.
I've successfully completed my quest in getting my Verizon Galaxy S7 to work with AT&T's primary LTE band; Band 17.
At first I was using the PE1 firmware with root. I first used Phone INFO (for Samsung) app to access the service code 2263. On PE1, only the factory Verizon-supplied bands were showing as supported. Band 12/17 were not showing in the service menu.
I took my chances and flashed the G930U firmware (found on the AT&T S7 forum of all things) and booted the phone with my AT&T SIM card. I ran LTE Discovery and achieved profit. Band 17 was working with the same signal as the iPhone 6S the SIM card came out of.
Also, the 930U firmware completely debrands the phone, which is perfect since I'll be using it on AT&T. After I confirmed band 17 I proceeded to root using the normal method of flashing the engboot and installing the root/SuperSU package per the root instructions. I did not use the Verizon PE1 debloater/fixes .zip files to make necessary tweaks, post root. I performed the tweaks manually (wifi fix, CPU governer: interactive, and SecurityLogAgent) .. Let me know if I'm missing anything in those regards please.
The ONLY thing I can't do now is view all the LTE bands in 2263 Service Mode. I get a "RAT Selection option: is restricted".. I want to see if all LTE bands are unlocked now. If you know of another way to see all the supported LTE bands, please let me know!
I now have exactly what I was set out to accomplish and it's great. The S7 is replacing my iPhone 6S on AT&T and I will be buying a Note 7 to replace the S7 on Verizon. If/when root is achieved on the Note 7 I will do the same and replace the Note 7 on Verizon with the iPhone 7 (I cycle my personal/business phones as a guilty pleasure if you can't tell already)
Screen shots attached
nice work, thanks for taking the plunge
Just did the same on a friend's S7 that he was trying to get on Cricket's LTE, as the VZW firmware kept him on HSPA+ at most. All I had to do was flash the AT&T firmware and bam, LTE. I forgot to check what band it was on but at least it's an additional proof of concept.
Thanks for the info!
Can u link that ROM
I haven't tried with Samsung, however, most phones with Qualcomm modems can be accessed via QXDM or similar PC software. Often the so called hacked HTC modem driver will allow QXDM to communicate with the phone.
There are XDA threads detailing how to access the appropriate LTE bands and selecting bands of choice using the above method.
AT&T and VzW both use bands 2 and 4, so you probably have all the bands that you need covered already.

The factory Verizon firmware did NOT have LTE band 12 or 17 unlocked so I was only getting HSPA+ with little spurts of band 2/4 LTE every once in a while with the AT&T SIM card in it. Flashing the 930U unlocked band 12/17 for me so I have full LTE coverage in the same spots where I only had HSPA+ before.

One thing to note also is that the G930U firmware auto detects your carrier settings and has you restart after first boot. I'm assuming it will unlock correct bands depending on the carrier SIM you use. The G930U firmware does NOT, however, like the Verizon SIM. Upon updating carrier settings with a Verizon SIM installed, the device will reboot into recovery. Every time you power on the device it will prompt you to update the carrier settings and will have you reboot again.. back into recovery. Rinse and repeat. I had to refresh the U firmware to get my band 12/17 back after putting the Verizon SIM in.

The issue I have is with the U Firmware. However, the method does not trip knox. Make a Smartswitch backup and give it a go. If it still doesn't work flash back to AT&T stock and restore from your backup.
OP: if you haven't been able to allow the RAT selection i'd suggest this.
go to Service mode main menu (either broadcast cmd 27663368378 or app like shortcut master), 2. ue setting > 1. setting > 1. protocol > 5. sim > 4. EF_RAT Free Supporting > 1. EF rat free supporting on (select even if it shows on)> now RAT Free Support.
Then business as usual.

Your call is being transmitted over LTE so the data reverts back to Hspa during the call. Mine does this but returns to LTE after I hang up.

You *may* be able to install a ROM for that version, but you can't change the hardware, so I'd look in to what bands, frequencies, etc. that each can use.

Well, to be completely honest, I am still in the Learning stages so I don't know if it were pure luck, but I originally didnt flash any Radio. I literally just ran the RUU, popped in ATT SIM, and it worked. However, I did later encounter a problem possibly related to this. I tried to apply an OTA zip update, and I flashed the Unlocked OTA. Which ended up making my IMEI disappear and the fix ended up being flashing the Sprint radio to the device. I'm still not sure, but I think the issue occurred bc even though my MID is US Unlocked my device still isn't technically US Unlocked so it was the wrong firmware. As for SIM unlocking, I followed the same thread for SIM unlocking the M9 using the NV and Basic Flasher Tools and it worked.

Yes I can try to find it. Obviously it was more than just putting the SIM in, I had unlocked and S-off'd and what not before. I know it was the first Nougat firmware they had for the US Unlocked. I want to say I was on Sprint 1.81xXxX and the unlocked was 2.14xxxx. I'll look it up.

I am currently SIM unlocked (NV Method), S-OFF and running Viper N with Sprint Radio. I am going to revert back to stock Sprint to replicate what you did.

Just so you know, Sunshine S-Off is all you need to sim unlock your phone.

I'm still unclear. I'm Verizon s-off. All I need to do is change my Cid to unlocked us then flash an unlocked ruu to change the radios so I can use T-Mobile? Of course I need to reflash twrp so I can get my Viper10 back on.

Are you positive about that? This was a Sprint locked device.

Verizon LTE devices are SIM unlocked by default to all carriers.

If you are on nougat firmware already, once you get CID setup, use the latest us unlocked RUU.
test everything on stock before throwing viper on

Yes specifically 4G LTE devices. Without touching anything you should be able to insert a SIM for any GSM carrier and it will pick up a signal, and yes ALL LTE bands but I believe you may have to convert to another radio for better compatibility.
All other things you better off converting to US Unlocked or T-Mobile. Those have WiFi integrated for supported carriers.
Totally worked with my Verizon phone. Changed the cid in fastboot and flashed a no wipe us unlocked firmware from sneakyghost. Unfortunately it wiped everything, but I was backed up, so no biggie. Thanks everyone!

Yes. I have a sprint converted to us unlocked on ATT network. I had to S-Off, then use ADB to change CID to 111111 and MID to 2PS65, then run the US Unlocked RUU off HTC website.

Sorry to dredge up such an old post, but google led me here. Do you know if it's possible to run the RUU off of HTC website on Linux? I tried installing HTC SyncManager via Wine and it kept crashing.

It depends what format the RUU is in. If it is .exe then no. If it is .zip it should work
I have an unlocked HTC 10, running Android 7.0 (2.51.617.32), I have it rooted with S-Off. In the states I had also modified it to use it on Verizon, besides that it is stock. I am currently doing a job in Nicaragua and decided to get a local sim though CLARO Mobil, phone should be compatible on band 4. Unfortunately, I get no data connection.... I have tried manually setting an APN, as well as playing with the setting on the 'secret menu' (*#*#4636#*#*) no luck thus far I either get 'emergency calls only', or voice and text with Data Technology on disconnected or at one point saying connecting but never successfully. Thoughts?
I picked up an HTC 10 partially on the premise of all the international bands it has and the potential for international connections.
Bumpity Bump Bump?
Bumpin' for a new hope
I'm in the El Salvador
Everything works fine for me, I have a HTC from Sprint unlocked using Oreo try to flash the RUU of the unlocked version or just flash the radio using the following article.

That did it! Thank you! I guess rewriting the radios to Verizon's isn't in harmony with international travel.
