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?

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.

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

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.
I am looking at buying a evo 3D from a US seller on ebay, he states it is unlocked and will work in the uk.
Anyone know anything about this!
It will not use a simcard, if thats what you're asking sir
It's a cdma phone, not gsm
Not necessarily!
USA uses both GSM and CDMA.
Most phones there are CDMA, though. So you will need to ask him whether the phone uses GSM or CDMA.
GSM will work in Europe, CDMA will not.
Sprint phones are CDMA. The EVO 3D is CDMA in USA.
If his description has Sprint, The picture of the Evo has Sprint or the red rimmed camera, the seller is lying. Only the gold rimmed Evo 3D can work here & the UK/Europe in general (Rogers Canada is as local as you'll get, otherwise the seller imported it.)

I am in the u.s. and everyone here is correct. The EVO 3d that was released here is a cdma version. I to am looking for a gsm version but I want one for ATT bands.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
The Rogers version has AT&T bands. As an aside, what UK network would a 850, 1900, 2100 HSPDA phone (i.e. the Rogers Evo 3d) work on? I have searched a lot and can't find a straight answer...
All of them but let someone correct me if im wrong
I have always bought unlocked HTC phones in London, new one every year, and never had any luck with 3G data in the US or Canada while it works with Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodaphone in the UK. So I figure something has to be different. Well, those were all two band 1700 and 2100 and were flat out missing the US bands, I am hoping in the UK would only need 2100?
would a GSM version of the phone bought from the US work in the uk? such as the one on this webpage?
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-evo-3d-gsm-unlocked.html
i.e. is the phone exactly the same as the GSM version that will be released in the UK? just wondering because it would be much cheaper if i could buy it from the US
That doesn't look right, the GSM version has a gold ring, not red, might be scamming

This is just a generic pic. I have called negri electronics and they said they are getting gsm EVO 3ds but not 100% sure if it will be the Rogers version or not. But he also said it is a very high possibility that they will get the Rogers one that supports all ATT bands. Not sure if they were just blowing smoke. But he was very nice and understanding.

Negri is legit. Just hold tight or sign on with Sprint. They will be getting them in soon.
I am in the same boat but I am starting to think that Sprint might be a better option with insurance and better warranty support than buying it unlocked.

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.

There are differences in the 3G bandwidth between the Telus's Amaze and Wind's Amaze:
Telus 3G = 850/AWS/1900/2100 (as shown on the box of my Telus Amaze)
Wind 3G = 1700 / 2100 (per Wind website)
If you plan to use the data service, better to verify your carrier's 3G service to ensure you select the right model. This thing is nice but not cheap so make sure to make full use of it.

Using the apn settings yes--at least 3g depending on carrier ability. TBH, I have never really cared for the BS 4g set-up based on FCC ruling. Bottom-line, if it works well it works for me.

Does that mean I can only use the tmob. One?

Hi!
Using (unlocked) TMobile Amaze in Germany ( O2 Network which uses GSM 1800 sometime GSM900 and UMTS 2100 ) and can confirm that this one work here!
Only maybe network related issus so far are dropped signal / dropped calls / dropped data connection on 2G/GSM in areas without good coverage but think this is a phone/phone software related problem so what i have read so far...
I think that the other Amaze´s are compatibile with the same bands because of using what i know so far exactly same hardware... also when u read tech spec on wind homepage they write:
Technical Specifications
Frequencies / Bands: 3G (UMTS/HSPA) AWS 1700/2100 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) 850/1900/900/1800
So this one should also work!
I have chossen the TMob version because i was for holidays in nyc and it was cheap to buy it directly there without paying for shipment, customs and so an.... And also so far i know they are the only one how sell the white one?
Love the white and can live with the TMob logo.....
No, the other carrier's amaze's aren't the same as Tmobile's.
as stated earlier in the thread, Tmobile covers all 3g bands
Anyways the most helpful reply is this one

as you can see both carrier uses 2100 for 3g, see if telus uses 900 for their 2g. If it does, you can virtually use all carriers' models

Why is the Tmobile any better than the Telus model? In fact if you don't plan to root, the Telus model comes with virtually no bloatware. Perhaps the only negative is the lack of the camera software. And the Telus model has no branding, which is what the OP asked in the first place.
but you get all bands with tmobile one and unlockadble so i would say as a dev i would get tmobile one

Yeah I know what the op asked for, a few others and I pointed out that the telus and wind model works for his network, but he completely ignored it and said "so only tmobile work?" #facepalm
So I was like in whatevers mode and was like just go with the tmobile if you want to be safe, since it's virtually an international phone.
C'mon. I read the thread, but in hpacura's post he wrote all the networks except 900! But i need the 900 one here in my country? The wind amaze seems that it only has a 3G data connection?! Need 2G as well.
Have already rooted a lot of android (especially htc) phones, the amaze should be no problem..
Hi Friends:
Recently, I bought a new HTC Rezound and I would like to have your inputs about how can I program/configure my HTC Rezound for Iusacell carrier in Mexico.
I have a HTC Evo 4G with a Iusacell’s line and it’s working perfect.
Can you share with my your experiences and recommendations about it?
• Voice Settings & Configuration
• Data Settings & Configuration
• MMS Settings & Configuration
What tools do you use? (CDMA Workshop, DFS Professional CDMA, QPST, etc.)
Thanks in Advanced for your help

At XDA we are unable to help you with this unfortunately because it is against the rules here.
You would have no luck with cdma anyway. I have used mine with telcel just fine though.
