the cpu of EVO 3D gsm vertion is 8660 or 8260??
and if it is 8660, it means that EVO 3D could support 3 network types including GSM WCDMA and CDMA.
is there any one have a method to make EVO 3D gsm vertion to support CDMA???
thx

The Evo 3D is a msm8660 processor device, but the GSM version cannot work on a CDMA network due to the radio band frequency. That's in simplest form.

Here are the specifications for the GSM Evo 3D. The radios are all based on GSM technology and the phone would require different radio hardware to support CDMA.

My major is microelectronics. As i knows,the radio hardware is integrated in SOC(system on chip) which is MSM8660. is it right? if so , can we flash the radio to solve this problem?

I had used the rom that you developed. is it possible to solve the problem by flash radio? because the band chip is integrated in 8660.

The specs on gsmarena are mostly incomplete or sometimes wrong. The GSM evo 3d has MSM8260 chipset and CDMA has MSM8660 or is it region dependent?
Im not sure but according to some sources gsm has 8260
@OP
MSM8xxxs' are chipsets. The CPU is Scorpion.
And
No the GSM 3D does not have the hardware to support CDMA but the CDMA 3D has hardware (except sim slot, software, f/w, software radio) to support GSM.

This is correct. MSM8660 has support for HSPA+ as well as other GSM frequencies. It has no sim attached to the chipset altought there is a mount point for it. I read on another forum some time ago that a real computer genius was able to hack the 8660 to recognize GSM but that was it because without the things mnomaanw mentioned all it could do was recognize the signal.
The MSM8260 that is in the Sensation and EVO 3D GSM version have no CDMA radio at all.

PDADB.net is the best source for this kind of info I find. Here you can see the different versions of the Shooter or EVO 3D. Basically there are 2 GSM versions that use the 8260, the Sprint version uses 8660, and the KDDI version uses the 8660 as they use some CDMA in Japan I think.

Perhaps the chipset in the GSM Evo 3D varies by model or region then because the CyanogenMod table of devices also shows it as an MSM8660, but that may just be for software compatibility. The XDA specifications do reflect the MSM8260 for the GSM model.

Well, the only difference is CDMA, so it doesn't really matter which chip it has.

I know it's a WCDMA / GSM phone, do i follow instructions for GSM hero phones or CDMA Hero phones?
I checked the specs of Sprint CDMA and it doesn't have GSM on it so i guess i have to go with GSM instructions.
Can anyone confirm please...
The Telus Hero is a GSM Hero.
indeed.
Note that CDMA and WCDMA are not the same thing.
WCDMA is the 3G evolution of GSM, whereas CDMA is a joke
Thanks a lot!
Looking on google I found several models of EVO 3D, however I could not find the differences between them. I also searched the forum.
I want to buy a EVO 3D to use in Brazilian´s GSM TIM carrier (3G - 2100MHz and some times 850MHz), I think the correct model is the X515m, but X515a also seems to work.
Can someone help me understand what are the differences between these models?
(I want a Android cell with 3D pictures, there are another good options?)

I'm also very interested in seeing the answer to this question. As far as build models of the device, I was only aware of two, shooter (CDMA) and shooteru (GSM).
I'm not sure where the different variations of the GSM models provide the unique identification in their software. Also, haven't seen anything definite around here on different GSM versions operating on different frequency bands.
As far as I've seen, the only difference in these GSM devices could be operating frequency as all other features and internal device identification seem to be fairly similar between them.
Hope somebody with some GSM knowledge can post up and clarify!
I dont no if it's a correctly information but I found this:
:: X515a (negrielectronics.com/htc-evo-3d-gsm-unlocked.html)
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 MHz
:: X515m (negrielectronics.com/htc-x515m-evo-3d-black.html)
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
So I need a EVO 3D GSM x515a
Since the GSM Evo 3D has a dual-mode radio and an MSM8660 processor that is capable of CDMA 2000, wouldn't it theoretically be capable of running on a CDMA network?
The PG86300 Evo 3D has an MS8660 processor, or am I mistaken?

It wouldn't be the processor that makes any difference, just the radio.
I don't have experience with it because I never have had the interest, but Google "CDMA Workshop" and supposedly you can use it to get phones to work on different networks, I.E. I've heard of Verizon phones being changed to work on Sprint. So theoretically you could get any phone with the right CDMA frequency radio to work on a given network. Not sure of the legality though... ha

Don't think the cpu will have much impact on radio operations, other than perhaps speed of the device.
If the radio works with CDMA and operates on the same frequency as the network, yes, it should work. Keep in mind, just like GSM, CDMA frequencies will vary based on carrier and country/regulation.
Would research the specific country/carrier's CDMA frequency in order to determine specifically if your device will operate correctly with it.
Good luck!
Hello,
Evo 3D uses SQN1210 WiMax chip which supports 3 WiMax bands.
Including the one I need (3.3-3.8 GHz).
I found some ways to change frequencies in 2.3 and 2.5 GHz bands.
IE:
unzipping the PC36IMG.zip file
open system.img using a hex editor program and replace each occurence of 2647000, 2657000 and 2667000 with alternate frequencies. There are 2 or 3 occurrences of each of these 3 numbers
re-zip the files into an new version of PC36IMG.zip
complete the simple root process using this new version of PC36IMG.zip
I wonder, is it safe to try this in 3.3 GHz band?
Damn, found that this is for Evo 4G...
Anyway, is there some way to change those bands?
Even if you could change the frequencies, I'm not sure what that would do for you, as the wimax on this phone can only be used with sprint towers.
Really?
As I have the GSM model...

If you could get the frequencies to work, there may be other steps. Some people have figured out how to get off of the Sprint WiMax and onto Clearwire.
Although, if you have the EVO 3D GSM, there is no WiMax radio in it. This becomes moot.

Yep, which is why I assumed you had the CDMA model.
My name is Carola and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I understand you would like to know if Evo 3D GSM model supports Wimax beares.
I can help you with that, it does support Wimax.

Don't know where that came from, but the KDDI and Sprint Shooter variants support WiMax, however the gsm do not have a WiMax radio. Anyone who tells you different does not know what they are talking about.
Hi
Is it possible to use CDMA version of EVO 3D with GSM band??? I know that there is no SIM card slot on board but except this PCB looks very similar.
Of cource firmware is different aswell, but I saw on forum that someone use ROM from CDMA version on GSM model even without changing H-boot, so porting from GSM to CDMA should work aswell??
And last thing if I will flash radio from GSM into CDMA I will permanently brick my phone or I will be able to repair it with bootloader??
Thanks for replay....
Erm... Quite simply... No. Too risky as software / hardware differences will leave you with an irrecoverable brick.
There are no drivers for GSM to CDMA bands etc.
People do change their bands with Custom Roms but im pretty sure that it isn't easy at all.
Invest in a GSM version. They have dropped severely in price.
