Hi guys
I'm going to purchase HTC rezound, but seller told me that it's Verizon phone. So I've one question about this: Does This device need unlock code to work with other network operators, such as AT&T and so on?
thanx
It will work with other networks. You really don't need to unlock it. Just flash the global RUU and go into network settings and switch to GSM mode.

excellent :victory:
thanx a lot :good:
What he said is true, although the gsm radios as is for the rezound dont work with us domestic carriers for data connection other then edge. To get 3g or better you have to do some modifications to the radio.

I have no use for this, but I'm curious, what kind of modification?

It involves some windows programs like dfs and qpst. Don't have time to get into it but you can read about it here if you want. Its still a work in progress, but I've managed to get 3G and HSPA enabled using straight talk att sim with these modifications.

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.

I'd like to think you can switch SIMs but you may have to use the Venusaur ROM because I know there's a GSM fix in it.

Yea I heard Venasuar is the way to go but I just hope GSM bands wont be an issue getting decent data and voice coverage

The miui Rom would be an alternative to use too.

Mine either but for gsm It's easier. Just load the rom and you're good. It comes up as gsm so you don't have to set it to gsm.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Thanks man. I been thinking about buying a cheap unlocked phone just in case the gsm bands on the rezound aren't supported by whatever carrier I end up using while I'm there. Verizon is too damn expensive on roaming
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
The Rez has all the gsm bands I think except AT&T 3G.
Ah well thats good to know
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
So I installed the 4.0.3.605.2 image that enables the GSM. Now I can make and receive calls on AT&T but I do not get any data. Tried searching found nothing that helps. Tried all different APNs for AT&T with no luck. Any ideas? I want to keep this stock for resale. But want to be able to sell it as GSM Unlocked
How did u get it on att? I am interested on att prepaid or T-Mobile prepaid. Did you install the leaked global update?

Problem with that is that it is not Mac Friendly.
I'm not getting ANY data, not even Edge. Only being able to place/receive calls.
I'm coming from the Motorola side of things and I do not know which files are the radio files. I'm in need of doing some modifications to try and get the Radio to get Verizon towers. I only have a month or so then I switch to T-mobile but would like to get the LGOG working on Verizon's network. I know the chip is capable of those frequencies just need to modify the Radio files.
I know the Motorola Droids call them .ril not sure for LG.

for gsm i think you just need to carrier unlock the phone then enter the correct apn.
The phone is unlocked but not sure how to enter the APN

Verizion is cdma, you aren't going to be able to activate it on their network because the esn/imei isn't in their system. They like sprint will only activate a phone that is for their network.
This is so far from the right section, even moto forums aren't that backwards...

Yeah, I've tried to no avail. I did get the mbn files to try and get the radio up on Verizon but no luck thus far. So I will be passing this up for now but will continue to tinker.

I would hardly core that as an source. Additionally, it directly contradicts your earlier assertion.
Check the actual model numbers that Samsung has put forth... there is no such animal as the SGH-I545.

Hey guys...
So, the Verizon S4 is the model named SCH-I545 and it comes with a sim slot, right? Besides, it comes Internationally Unlocked, so it can be used on GSM networks around the world, correct?
Just one more question, does it work on the 850MHz Band for 3G?
I'm thinking on buying one also! Thanks!
I brought the vzw s4 back to india.. but its not working with either vodafone or airtel GSM.
After rooting and installing apn manager and titanium pro I was able to get the data working but that too only 3g.
But the voice n sms is still not working.
I too am lookiblng for a solution but didnt find any, inspite of this being a world phone.

Same issue in India
I am having the same issue. The phone picks up only data signal and not voice or SMS. I have a Note2 purchased from Verizon and it works perfect. I have rooted and was able to install an I9505 ROM Wamma Lite. It picked up the gsm signal for a moment and same issue occured. Can aI9505 modem be iinstalled using Odin which will make the gsm modem primary and CDMA secondary and allow gsm use for voice and SMS. Please help.

Yes, it will work on 850
Straight from Sammy.
"Frequencies and Data Type:
LTE: Bands 4/13
CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz"
I am using my i545 in both CDMA and GSM networks. Didn't try HDSPA, but EVDO Rev.A and even Rev.B, and GSM with EDGE - working properly without problems. Switching between networks - is in the Settings. My phone is connected to two different operators at the same time - to CDMA and GSM.

Are you using CDMA injected? I am using i-545 in Indonesia with local operator CDMA RUIM not successful, will try with CDMA injected.
I recently flashed my thunderbolt, and simply am stuck trying to get 3g to work. I've read countless threads about it in multiple forums, but I just cant figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I am now going bald.

I downgraded from ICS to GB using a guide on phandroid. I believe it may have something to do with the way I flashed it, or the network not recognizing me, but I am unsure. I'm open to suggestions!
If your downgrade method didn't involve flashing the GB radios than there would be your problem. It wouldn't hurt to flash the latest GB radios just for kicks.

Yea, I'm certain I flashed the GB radios in recovery, my good man. Could it be something else? Could you verify what I need to set my M.IP, and PPP settings to, if you know?
As long as you are on Verizon I don't see why you would have to.

Oops! Maybe I should've added... I flashed it to boost, and I have talk and text working. Data icon displays 1x. I'm trying to get the 3g to kick. I'm using the info from my Incredible 2, which i flashed with the same account over a year ago. Everything works fine on the Incredible 2. Just no 3g on the thunderbolt.
The droid incredible 2 is a global phone and the bolt isn't. The radio in the bolt isn't capable.

So disconnecktie, does this mean my thunderbolt is incapable of 3g because it isn't a global phone? I do not understand dude.
The bolt doesn't have an antenna that will be able to connect with the frequency boost uses for data.

It does work for certain carriers. Page plus comes to mind but it had been a long time since I've heard of another carriers working.

Cool! Well thanks anyway. I'm trying to find a way to program it to my service. Just to get the settings right, and see what happens after that. For all I know, I have the settings right, and it just won't work.
Best bet would be to pick up a sprint phone that's not locked down via ESN (correct term?). Since Boost is basically Sprint's pay as you go service.
