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.
can i use other provider on HTC View 4G??
or it is locked to sprint only? if it is locked, is there other way to override the settings set by sprint??
You can get the 3G flyer. It uses a sim card.
Sent from my HTC EVO View. 7" of s-off 4g Fury.

Although I don't think it's T-Mobile friendly, right?
The Evo View is a Sprint 4G device.
It is possible the 3g radio can work on Cricket and Verzion since it is a CDMA device, so in theory with many other Sprint and Verizon phones it can be possible to flash them to work on another CDMA carrier though your results with compatibility may vary
If you are looking to use a GSM provider you would want the Flyer 3g
Would the rogers version of the 3d EVO work on the telus network if I got it unlocked? Would I just need to pop the sim in and go?
Thanks
yeah i got it and just bought an unlock code off of ebay and then unlocked it onto telus
It'll work just fine!
I would like to unlock my Rogers HTC Evo 3D, so I can use it with other carriers. Please help.
Bump.
I'm also interested in this..anyone ever used one of thoses online sim unlock companies? Are they reputable?
I just bump it up.
In our area , there is available EVO3D cdma for cheap rate, it has a T-mobile logo on it, but the buyer says tht he has unlocked it for reliance cdma network
question is if i root it and put a custom rom on it, will it still be unlocked at reliance or it will be locked ??
if it has t-mo branding on it, it's probably gonna be the sensation, which is not the evo 3d. Secondly, t-mo is gsm only. If I were you, I'd verify if it really is the 3d, not the sensation, but I'm sure it will be the latter (if it isn't some scam to begin with)

I'm fairly certain my CDMA EVO 3D will NOT ever operate on a GSM network w/o changing the radio hardware inside.
Unless the GSM version comes with both radios inside, it will be impossible for it to operate on a CDMA network. "Unlocked" is generally a GSM term as GSM devices can be unlocked and then operate on any carrier.
Where as CDMA devices have to be programmed for a specific carrier. The programming process for a CDMA device can be a bit complex for people w/o computer experience.
Hope that helps clarify! I'm sure somebody else with more knowledge on the EUR versions of the GSM EVO 3Ds can chime in from their experience.

Also very great point! Don't think there is any GSM EVO 3D version being officially sold in the US under the TMO or ATT brand (the two largest GSM companies in the US). Perhaps a foreign GSM version of the EVO 3D, once "unlocked", could operate on a US GSM carrier such as TMO or ATT, but fairly confident TMO and ATT havent ever sold a GSM EVO 3D.
As a double check, if you wanted, a quick glance at the line up of phones available on their web site should help clarify. Or if you really wanted, call their customer service departments and ask about a EVO 3D or any type of 3D device to see what they have to offer.
