Does anyone with an Evo 3D know if their Evo 3D works with T-Mobile out of the box? Or does it require an unlock? Thank you and sorry if this has been asked before.
It will not work on T-Mobile.
Okay thanks I was just wondering since I did noticed it does have gsm support. once again thanks!

Never, you guys already have your phone, the sensation 4g and the Slide 4g

It won't come to T-Mobile, the FCC pass with the similar T-Mobile bands was for Rogers' Model.
So technically you can use it, just be ready to pay the full retail cost for importing.
I thought gsm 3d was outside America. The sensation on tmobile is almost the same but less RAM and better camera

Yeah the GSM will come to America, just not the U.S.

It won't be on Tmobile at least in the US. You will have to pay full price for a Canadian one and have it shipped.
I played with the Evo 3D and honestly I'm glad T-Mobile got the Sensation instead. The build is way sexier IMO

I don't like the back of the sensation looks too HD2 like... But that's my opinion

I live in Denmark (Europe), so the phone has not arrived yet, but when it does I am pretty sure it will be very expensive. The American version (Non Sprint) isn't that cheap either, but it is cheaper, so I have been thinking of buying one and then getting it unlocked.
Is this actually possible, when it doesn't have a SIM card? I found a website which will unlock the phone and I think actually give me the right network?
Website: htcimeiunlock.com/htc-evo-3d-unlock
Well this is just my question, is this actually possible?
Thanks and best regards

Yes it can be flashed to various cdma carriers. I.e. boost, metro, cricket .... Etc

but the short answer is no because your European carrier is most likely gsm and therefore not compatible with the CDMA Sprint EVO 3D

Yeah...And anyways...Flashes to other CDMA networks is always messy....Hold out for the GSM version that is supposed to launch in Europe soon?

Or get the sensation. It's the EVO with everything but the 3D

I do not understand why it's unlock-able, when it's still not possible to use it in other countries that use GSM. Whats the use in unlocking it then? Sorry, but I know nothing about this stuff.

Well that could work too...But the 3vo still runs better than it...
Either way, you'd have to unlock the Sensation from Tmobile then.

Hey Just thought Id let everyone know, they just went on sale today at best buy in canada. Just got stock at best buy yesterday so i picked one up today for the rogers network. The phone is blazing fast. big upgrade over my xperia x10. Woot, cant wait for root and custom roms.
how would you compare it to the original evo?
Is that cmda or GSM network?

And apparently it has a different HBOOT version that won't run with Revolutionary root method.

That is correct, got mine Saturday and I am loving it! Looking forward to CM7 running on it, hopefully soon.
Yes the H-boot is a different version so hopefully we get enough people with this phone that some devs begin working on rooting it.
Wow! I thought the Evo 3D was a Sprint exclusive like the Evo 4G and Evo Shift. Thought the whole "Evo" brand was a Sprint exclusive. Guess not.
I've been trying to Google this and got no results. All the youtubers I asked and all the Google searches I did and I got the same result. The cdma e3d is for the USA and gsm is for the rest of the world...ARRRR! I ALREADY KNOW THAT!
So can someone please explain the internal differences between the cdma and gsm 3d and why can't gsm users flash cdma Roms (if the radio remains untouched). I'm sure I'm not the only 1 wondering why the cdma EVO 3s gets so many more roms than gsm users.
Please don't flame at me if this question has been asked elsewhere.

I was also searching for this and already found out that its kernel related because it has some other drivers and stuff running to maintain the cdma network.
Theres kernel and framework differences. Even if you were to extract a gsm kernel, and put it into a cdma.rom, it still wouldn't work properly. I've looked at the frameworks for both phones, and there was a lot more differences in the code than I had previously anticipated.
The reason there are more cdma roms, is simply because there are more devs/chefs/tweakers that use/have cdma phones.
Also many old & new developers for the CDMA EVO 3D came from the EVO 4G, which had a huge following on the same carrier.
It was like a migration of birds.

Ah, that explains it. I was wondering why there is so much more development going on for the CDMA E3D than the GSM, seeing as how Sprint is the only carrier using the CDMA. Stupid, multiple standards!

Wrong.
Verizon and U.S Cellular both use CDMA.

But do Verizon, US Cellular, or MetroPCS offer the EVO 3D? That's what we're talking about here, the EVO 3D.

Thank you soooooooo much for that (ill make sure I whack the that thank button when I get on a computer. I was thinking something to do with kernel and framework but I never had time to check.

I stand by my comment about stupid multiple standards. Get with the rest of the world, U.S. carriers! Stop being different just for the sake of being different.
Now, not knowing anything at all about ROM cooking, will it ever be possible that ROMs for the E3D may be able to support both CDMA and GSM, or is there no way to code that kind of logic?

Well kinda. It's not hard to write the ROM for the gsm EVO if you made a ROM for the cdma 1. But It's hard because It's gonna require testing on a device which the cdma dev does not have.

Hello, I'm checking out the "bay" to find an used Evo 3d with clean esn.
I found one that it's perfect for me but it's only for Sprint networks (CDMA).
I have tried to check if it's possible to port an Evo 3D CDMA phone to other network with one of many IMEI online unlock services.
Surely you'll know this better than me... so I ask the great Xda-dev community to help me know if this is really possible before I buy the phone.
Thanks in advance for ANY reply and sorry for my bad english.

If you are trying to use it on a gsm network, it is not possible whatsoever

Only networks other than Sprint are Boost, Cricket, Metro PCS. Dev forum has plenty of information on how to get the phone to work on those networks.
Many thanks. So the only chance I have to get a working evo 3d in italy I've to buy a GSM one...
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
Wasn't there a suggestion that you could remove the wimax part, solder in a sim card sold, and then flash gsm software?
Personally.. I'd just sell the evo 3d and get another phone.
There is a way to get it on Verizon from I have heard. There was some members that had it on Verizon.
