Sorry to ask the same question once again,but , I am just curious...
since the XT912(Verizon) and XT910 has the same hardware and chipset, I can be pretty sure they have the same radio.
Is it possible for anyone to say, whether we can activate the LTE functionality in the XT910...(maybe a custom baseband SW) or something..
I'm going to attempt to flash the GSM radio into my XT912. Everything I've also read says that the chipset should allow for GSM access, just carrier locked by Verizon.
This article has been referenced a few times about the inability to use AT&T and Verizon LTE devices on each others networks:http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388526,00.asp
I'll let you know if a radio from a GSM SBF or GSM Rom works on this though!
Thanks mate!!!
This is a good experiment. Waiting to see.

Hi,
Can anyone help me by posting the baseband SW of the XT912....
Help me a lot for my experiment..
I flashed the GSM radio image on my XT912 through RSD... Everything looked normal, RSD said it processed image 1 of 1, then the phone rebooted, came back up and was still on the CDMA Baseband image... Not sure exactly what happened but I was just happy it didn't brick it!
My phone is currently useless to me anyway since I'm in the Philippines. Willing to try flashing/testing whatever a developer would like to have me test at this point in time. Need to have GSM radio activated/enabled so I can use this phone... That's the bottom line I guess...

After flashing the radio, di dyou change baseband?
Let me know whether changing the baseband solves your problem, then I might try to do the inverse thing...
How do you change baseband? I'll try it if someone can tell me where/how to do it...
I have the xt910 in Canada with no LTE but the network supports LTE. I am extremely excited to see how your experiment works.
Did you ever get this to work?
Yes, I'm still very interested in this if anyone has further details. This thread is very similar, but goes the other way (enabling GSM on the CDMA/LTE devices).
This does not work and cannot be made to work. There is another additional LTE radio chip in the XT912 that is not there on XT910. They are not the same hardware, despite being very similar.

Source? I've heard claims from both sides of this argument on XDA (some say it has the LTE radio, some say it does not).
I have yet to find a teardown of the XT910, I can only find pictures of the XT912 internals. I understand that there's a possibility that Motorola didn't put the LTE radio in the XT910, but again, I have yet to see a definitive source claiming so (i.e. pictures - and again, can only find pictures of the XT912 internals...).
I noticed that Rogers advertises the xt910 as being a LTE device. False advertising?

I dont think the XT910 has any CDMA radios at all. But lets see.
The Korean XT910k has LTE according to motorola website
But it also cannot flash normal razr fastboot files and roms....
same with the latin razrs also cant flash normal xt910 roms, and it has the lte radio....
Maybe there is a link in this?
Any Latin razr users flashed the XT912 fastboot before?

Pedro, I flashed the LATAM ICS ROM to my XT910, and while it shows the option in the Phone Menu, the LTE option won't stay selected. It keeps reverting back to GSM.
I'm interested to see if someone successfully flashed a new radio file to activate the LTE on the XT910, or if this is a hardware issue, being that the hardware for LTE simply isn't inside the XT910.
we were on att paying almost 400 a month for a business plan for 3 lines so we now have tmobile business plan and pay around 150. My question is this, how can we use our phones on the tmobile network? Going into more detail, we got the phone unlocked already. called att and i told them i was on tmobile network, that i had bought the att phone thinking it was unlocked and he asked for the imei number and 30 seconds later came back with the unlock code. so my phone is rooted, unlocked, running an ics rom BUT what my problem is that i cant get 4g on the tmobile network. i have searched and downloaded a tmobile radio, or so i thought. someone please help me understand how i can get my phone working correctly on the tmobile network? oh and yeah, i have baseband version i717uclf6. i hope someone can help, thx
Hello to answer your question is there a H where the 4g should be if so that's the same as 4g and also are running a custom Rom or is it the stock Rom that came with the phone more info is needed

Hope this can help you a bit. I'm using a t-mobile network and this worked for me. Jslim is correct in saying that there will be no 4g seen on the screen just the "h". You will get good speeds though.

im on a custom rom king kang lf6 milestone 6, there is no 4g or H at all. I have a big capital E where the signal is.
You may won't check the dev section of that Rom and they may have a 4g patch that you could flash it and you may have it in your Rom already you may have overlooked it take a look in your settings also oh by the way E stands for 2g and H is 3 and H+ stands for 3.5g it stand for 3g on steroids

According to Paul O'brien (who from what I understand is a pretty solid source) AT&T has locked down the One's bootloader, like it did with the One X. Apparently that turned out to be a huge mess. Was totally planning on getting this, now I'm strongly reconsidering...

I've been on the One X forums from just about the start, and I'm not sure I would call it a "huge mess". A bootloader unlock method was discovered and posted by an XDA dev a little over 2 weeks after the device was released.
What turned out to be a bit more of a mess, is that root was needed to get the bootloader unlock, and HTC kept patching the existing root exploit with every firmware update.
This is indeed disappointing. But I won't believe it 100% until the phone is actually released, and people try to unlock the bootloader. Even then, the phone will be a popular one, and I have faith that the devs here will crack it.

To the OP.. Where have you been lately? this isn't no surprise to anyone that the phone has a lock bootloader
And to all of you buying the dev edition, whats the point of a unlock bootloader if you don't have s-off?

Really though, the amount of modders who need SOFF to do what they want is like less than 5% of the mod community. Root typically handles most issues. Unlocked bootloader is just that barrier above root.
Though, I'm kind of mad that HTC isn't sticking it to ATT on this and telling them to bugger off. Tmobiles is unlocked...

If I read correctly, someone stated that the cid partition was write protected on the one
So since supercid was how we unlocked the boot loader it may be a bit more difficult on the one

I don't know much about the typical bootloader unlocking methods, but saw this recent article about unlocking newer Qualcomm-based Motorola phones. Not that this method will work on the AT&T One, but hopefully a similar method can be found if none of the current tricks work.

My comment had to do more with informing the previous poster what actually happened on the One X (that he seemed to mostly only know about 2nd hand), rather than speculating on what HTC has done on this upcoming phone. As we know, HTC is a tricky bugger, and I won't even begin to try to guess what security enhancements they have up their sleeve this time around!

You can root, install custom recovery, and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader.
S-off allows some other things, such as modding hboot, and flashing radios. But its not needed for flashing custom ROMs.
you can already unlock the bootloader+root etc..

That's a how to, if unlocking isn't blocked by the carrier
Which it probably is on the at&t variant

Aha! gotcha, Well. I tried to order the Dev edition but it got out of stock.. so i have no choice but to get one from ATT and hope for the best : D
Yeah you can flash roms etc..
But who wants to manually flash the kernel every time you want to update a rom?
I would like to just put my rom on my phone and flash it. Simple as that
Regardless this is XDA and i trust the devs here will do something to get AT&T users rooted.
mine will be going back so fast if its not unlockable
Sprint and tmobile versions are unlockable
There is no surprise about ATT locking the boot loader. Why do you think HTC is selling a developer edition that is using ATT bands. They solved it because there are a few of us who root our phones etc. Most people who buy phones don't do any of this XDA stuff
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I see it this way, with the $100 rebate and the HDMI device I am getting from HTC and ATT the one will be pretty much free. I am switching from Sprint which I had originally switched to with hopes of buying the Nexus 4. Since they stopped doing Nexus on CDMA this is my move back. The One will turn into a backup phone and the next Nexus will become my main. If a Nexus doesn't come out in the next 4 months I'll just buy a Nexus 4 for now. I'll just never do OTAs on the One until a root is found or just sell the thing when I get a Nexus.
Btw, who is this Steven Bell guy? Does he have an HTC One from ATT that he tried to unlock?
Im glad i got the dev edition. I canceled ATT pre order day after i ordered. My Dev edition says backorder now but says shipment scheduled Tomorrow the 10th.
Either some lazy people here.. Or trolls.. It only takes an additional few seconds to flash a kernel if you need it. Those few seconds certainly wouldn't keep me from owning this device. This phone looks like it'll have a lot of Dev presence. S-off might not be far off. :victory:
I dont know who Steve bell is (guy paul obrien quoted) And how he would know The ATT is locked since its not out yet. I guess he's credible somewhat if Paul is repeating it.
Hmmm....im really starting to second guess this phone....im confused why att locks down HTC phones but not other android phones like Samsung? Sorry really new to HTC phones....

I would just enjoy the phone for now and wait. There is confirmation on unlocking the boot and getting root if this is true which it seems to be there is not much we can do with it until our devs start cooking home made goodies. The only reason I would be anxious to root is for tethering but there are apps that will give you tether without rooting in the play store.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
Yea, I'm unlocked and rooted. I wanna flash something !!!! Lol

I'm 99% sure it will work. 100% of the internals are the same except for the bands on the radio, which are just a matter of changing the APN. Go ahead and do it for us

In the rom request thread, CM and other developers are hopping on the G3 bandwagon. The unlock is less than a week old, patience. Be happy we were able to get a true unlock.

with this custom rom.. we can enjoy a factory unlock gsm lte and cdma phone? it will work to domestic carrier network?
A general rule of thumb is to never assume a US phone works outside the states. Sprint phones are not designed to work outside Sprint.

OK.. But the same like at&t and others carrier but people can unlock it.. With a code or some another way.. Sprint is more difficult to unlock but is not impossible.. So.. That's my question reason.. Maybe some Dev found the way to unlock it like factory..
