Hi,
Can I use Sprint CDMA Raphael on regular GSM network?
Is there a suitable radio ROM or radio hardware is completely different?
Nope you can't, hardware too different.

I know it's a WCDMA / GSM phone, do i follow instructions for GSM hero phones or CDMA Hero phones?
I checked the specs of Sprint CDMA and it doesn't have GSM on it so i guess i have to go with GSM instructions.
Can anyone confirm please...
The Telus Hero is a GSM Hero.
indeed.
Note that CDMA and WCDMA are not the same thing.
WCDMA is the 3G evolution of GSM, whereas CDMA is a joke
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
Recently i have aquired and HTC Hero.
While i was reading posts here at xda, i encountered people talking about GSM and CDMA, where i got really confused.
I've searched google to answer my questions and only i could find was Sprint version and Europian vertion, plus got more confused.
Here is the link of the Hero i have:

What are the deferences about those two Hero's?
What vertion do i have?
if you put a simcard in it it is GSM, if not it is CDMA. the picture you linked is AFAIK a gms hero, not sure whether you can tell it for sure just by looking at it. GSM and CDMA are different mobile network technologies, to make it short GSM is europe CDMA is usa.
With the hero its quite easy though, the CDMA version looks different to the GSM.
But phones normally look the same.
Pretty sure you have a GSM Hero. That looks to be a European site (selling in Euros) - is it Portugal? All European Heros are GSM. The CDMA ones are for the Sprint network in the USA. The main difference is that they use different mobile phone technology. And the GSM one has a SIM card the CDMA one does not.
Hi
Is it possible to use CDMA version of EVO 3D with GSM band??? I know that there is no SIM card slot on board but except this PCB looks very similar.
Of cource firmware is different aswell, but I saw on forum that someone use ROM from CDMA version on GSM model even without changing H-boot, so porting from GSM to CDMA should work aswell??
And last thing if I will flash radio from GSM into CDMA I will permanently brick my phone or I will be able to repair it with bootloader??
Thanks for replay....
Erm... Quite simply... No. Too risky as software / hardware differences will leave you with an irrecoverable brick.
There are no drivers for GSM to CDMA bands etc.
People do change their bands with Custom Roms but im pretty sure that it isn't easy at all.
Invest in a GSM version. They have dropped severely in price.
Is there a ROM that will make my gsm sgh-1717 from at&t work on Verizon CDMA network?
Sorry there isn't. That would require a hardware change and I don't think parts are available to do so.
Roms don't enable that - modems do that. GSM and CDMA are two different types of networks. Thats why ^^^^ said you need to have different hardware, but you can't change the modem chip on the mainboard.
Droid DNA work only with CDMA network or can be found with GSM module, I wont buy it but I can use only GSM network, please help I really want this phone?
You can set the phone to operate in CDMA or GSM depending on what protocol your local network uses. It is a global phone.
