I m frm gujarat & i hv a ques which google/xdA or my technoholic friends could not answer.After exhaustive research i couldnt make a decision....
question is: I have a friend in US who just bought an evo 3d frm ebay,but found it had bad ESN.Now he is going to sell it in 250$ coz he cant use it with sprint or any other carrier anymore. Can i use tht fone here in india on cdma or gsm networks,by unlocking or flashing it?I read tht its bootloader will be unlocked soon Plz tell me if this is possible anyhow...m goin to pay real money to him
Thanks in advance
It would depend on what type of towers you have ( cdma or gsm) you need cdma, and also what frequencies they are running. the US evo 3d runs on 1900 mhz. Also im not sure if you can flash the evo 3d yet. im sure its possible, but the methods and apps used to flash other phones havent been tested yet. probably best to wait it out for a while and see what happens

From what I understand, Evo 3D's are CDMA devices and are 99% worthless outside of the U.S. however, I did read an article stating that HTC listed the Evo 3D with quadband capabilities (GSM being one of them of course) the only problem is I'm not 100% sure if they did that because it really "is" quadband capable or if that just applies to international or special models. Maybe someone else will beat me to it and fully answer ur question. Your best bet is to try and find out if ur friends Evo 3D is quadband capable, if so, u might be able to use it in India by GSM. If it is only a CDMA device, its probably gna be worthless unless u want to be paying some pretty costly roaming charges

Im pretty sure that the EVO 3d is only dual band. the photon 4g is tri or quad band. The evo 3d doesnt have a sim card slot either so it doesnt have gsm capabilities.
thank u friends for ur quick replies...one of my friends was able to use evo 4g here,so i thought this also might work.Still i will wait for some solid answer B-)
thought there was gonna be a gsm version
Isn't the evo 3d gsm version releasing in france within 2 weeks?
(i might be wrong, just stating what i read)
Sorry, just read the post and no..., an evo 3d bought in the USA on sprint's cdma network by no means can be used on gsm networks...
Don't know whether it can be used on cdma networks in other countries, however i highly doubt it.
EVO 3D has both GSM and CDMA. I am getting the EVO 3d GSM from the US soon. I have checked on gsmarena which says that EVO 3D gsm is quadband.
I have sprint evo 3d working on reliance CDMA in india.
It cam with hboot 1.30/1.40 ( i didnt remember) but **** i upgraded the hboot to 1.50.
I have the GSM Evo 3D with the gold ring around the camera instead of red, and the 900, 1700, and 2100 bands for 3G. Which region is the phone for? I was wondering which RUU I need to use in case I have to restore and if all of the GSM ROMs are compatible with it unless otherwise noted.
*bump, a quick answer would be appreciated, thanks
Probably Rogers ....mines gold too
Sent from my Brick 3d
Thanks for the reply. I know that it's not the Rogers one because Rogers 3G is on 850/1900/2100 bands. Mine works with 900/1700/2100 3G bands. Also, I don't have a Rogers logo on the back.
According to PDADB.NET it is HTC EVO 3D X515 (HTC Shooter).

Hey I have Cincinnati Bell a gsm carrier and i just recently got the htc evo 3d x515a from ebay and everything works fine except im only getting 2G EDGE speeds when it says i should be getting 3G ( CINBELL hspa frqency:1700/2100 MHz, Phone:850/1900/2100) I'm not sure if they all have to match but 2100 match up or not. Can someone help me figure out how to connect it to 3G?
Doing research myself on this phone for use on CBW. It appears you might have bought the wrong version of the EVO 3D phone. There is an X515M EVO 3D that has the 1700 and 2100 bands you need to get 3G and 4G on CBW.
The X515A phone is for the ATT bands. So the best you'll get with the version you bought is Edge. It would be similar to putting and ATT Iphone on CBW and only getting edge...
Here's the site that has the X515M: http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Evo-3D-X515M-Unlocked-QuadBand-p/htc-evo3d.htm
