Evo 3d should be hitting Europe next month.... so, all you gotta do is import one and you're set.
You're not set, bc the GSM models don't support US 3G bands. You can import it and be on edge and wifi if you like
Yup 3g wont work only edge

EDGE?
No one can even confirm an unlocked 3D yet.

That's not entirely accurate. The spec sheet lists it as supporting the right bands for 3g on T-mobile ;D
Why would you want an EVO3D on the 2 worst networks in America?

Where's my kernel at? LoL I don't recall seeing that....Besides the lists and bands I've seen, I just find it super hard to believe Sprint would allow it's flagship phone to be on another carrier in the US. Granted, only a handful of people would actually pay that import cost or even know it's possible for that matter. An iPhone on every carrier next year will be enough

The GSM model is slated for vodafone in europe, one would have to import it.
And as for a kernel, there's no sources from htc, nor do I own an evo 3d to work on ;D

The only way I'll have an e3d is if one magically appears in my possession somehow. I don't have sprint service anymore, so the only reason for me to have one would be to dev on.
That said, a good portion of teamwin have the e3d, it's definitely gonna be gettin some love.

So basically I will be moving to the US for a while soon, and currently own a European HTC hero, will it work on any carrier there?
I tried to do the research and I believe T-mobile would support the same frequencies, although I'm not completely sure.
These are the frequencies used by US carriers check this link http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml
European HTC Hero supports 900/2100 for 3G
basically if you use in US you can make normal phone calls and Edge Connection
but no 3G.
AT&T works great on mine. Hspa is up and running. Its faster than the 3gs iPhone. And kinda rare over here. (At least in the Dallas/Fort Worth area)

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
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
but the short answer is no because your European carrier is most likely gsm and therefore not compatible with the CDMA Sprint EVO 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.

Either way, you'd have to unlock the Sensation from Tmobile then.

I know most of us here use the 3VO on Sprint and some on Metro PCS and Cricket. I am going to be traveling to India for a bit and I was wondering if I could flash the 3vo to a local mobile network in India and not have to pay Sprints $2.79 talking fee.
I've googled a bit and found that people have activated their phones on Reliance CDMA but they do not say how they have done it.
So does any one know how to flash to Reliance CDMA ?
what's a 3vo? is that like a car?
Idk doesn't sound like an easy task, do they have gsm over there? Probably be easier that way

You do realize that once flashed to another network won't be able to flash back to Sprint due to their policies.

Just got off phone with Motorola and they confirmed the Photon has a LTE chip installed! I called sprint and they said it didn't. Somebodies lying, my bet is sprint.
My guess is that the Motorola rep is confusing that for 4G in general. I highly doubt the Photon has LTE.
Now, I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if it does, but I imagine that would have been in the FCC certification.

I highly doubt this, but my buddy works at the mobile division in Libertyville IL (My town! Woot woot Google! ) and he works on the development of the LED flash for all the phones cameras. Im sure he will have insight about this, ill post back what he says.

i'm too lazy to search youtube, has anyone done a teardown of this phone yet? I mean its not magic, if there is a LTE chip inside you'd see it. Granted I'm not willing to doante my phone to such a process but I mean phones break, you'd think someone who broke their Photon had to have tore it apart by now to see its guts.
I doubt they would have added an expensive piece of hardware just for the heck of it. The fact that it isn't touted as a feature to"future proof" the phone leads me to assume it isn't there.
The build.prop in system has alot of refrences to an LTE radio...but then again it has quite a few refrences to VZW as well....

They probably just took the Atrix, redid the outer shell, modified code to work with Sprint, then threw it on the shelf.

The hole in that thought is the matrix is on ATT(GSM) which is different from VZW in more ways then one.
The VZW references is due to the you can roam in VZW and a possible launch of the phone on VZW.
It seems that this phone has a lot of Q's surronding the radio freq's it uses so we are going to need to find a good tear down and look to that for answers.
Ok so in case people didn't know, LTE uses sim cards for the 4G. But it can't be in the photon, sprint wont have it for some time.
My buddy at Motorola replied to me "wimax". So I guess its not LTE ready and that moto rep is misunderstanding that sprints 4g is different. After all, this is the first moto android phone on sprint

Who cares though...by the time Sprint uses LTE the MoPho will be obsolete and something different will be in your hands.....

If that's the case why aren't you on Verizon?
Plug the photon in and look in device manager, it has an LTE modem period. There is no argument here, find it for yourself. Sprint will have LTE but not for awhile, as for the Photon working on it, who knows, but I am damn sure that it is capable of it. If you are asking a Sprint Rep any questions about a phone, 97.38782% of them don't know much about them, yes there are a few who actually do their homework on each and every phone they come across but that is few and far between. ( And in case you work at Sprint and you are reading this, don't take it personal, I'm just saying that most reps sell phones, they don't study them and know them inside and out) As for Motorola, who knows, it all depends on who you talk to, but I would believe one of them over a random Sprint rep who 'sells' phones for a living, being that Motorola actually built the thing.
But all you really need to do is plug it in and look for yourself.

Now that is interesting indeed
It just might have a LTE radio. Maybe Sprint's plans are starting to show up in current and future phones? Here is an excerpt:
If Sprint were to tap into Clearwire’s LTE network it wouldn’t gain any additional coverage beyond its current 4G footprint. It would gain additional capacity, but it would come at a price. Since Clearwire’s LTE wouldn’t even cover existing WiMAX markets completely, Sprint will need to deploy dual-mode WiMAX and LTE devices. That’s already a tall order for device makers, but Clearwire is using an unpaired spectrum configuration for LTE, meaning Sprint will need LTE chips not only for Clearwire’s 2.5 GHz frequencies but in a time-division duplexing (TDD) mode that no other operator uses in the U.S.

There may be some logic to this from Moto perspective...
It 4g and it a world phone...it suports cdma and gsm...
But is it also the first "4g" "world phone"? having both wimax and LTE ?(you got the sim like verzion LTE phones need)
So for Moto one hardward build for all world markets...and would also make it one hell of a development phone for google android to test everything on
Would the EVO 3d and Samsung Galaxy 2 people crap if true....
A phone with all these radios cdma, gsm, wimax and LTE would be hacker heaven
Who knows could be source of unlocked 4g issues that just the Photon seem to have ... that bootstrap has an extra radio to set up
===One other thing I recall Sprints Touch pro 2 "world phone" was not certified for GSM by FCC for US so radios were not listed on FCC doc...but it had them
Other thing in all the Photon "tear down" ive seen...ive never seen the chips because of how the lable sits in the battey compartment covers the chips...you would need to destroy the phone to see
Hey all I love this phone.
Just wondering if it is possible to make it work on the USA T-Mobile network?
I have a HTC Sensation and looking to upgrade. I dont care for the pentile display in the One S, so I think this is the next best phone.
Please let me know.

Not a chance. Sprint uses cdma tech while Tmobile is gsm.

Theoretically yes because rumor has it there is also a HPSA+ radio in the LTE however it would take a wildly amount of work to get it to work for TMobile so it isn't practical. Why not get the One S?
I thought the international One X didn't work on T-Mobile's 3G and "4G" bands? You should do some Google searches to make sure you don't buy a One X that will only work on edge lol The One S might be your only choice.
