Hey guys,
So I'm selling my Rezound to a T-Mobile user (my sister) and I want to get it ready for her to use. Currently, I have the 4.03.605.2 710RD software loaded on it, which I know makes it global capable. At this point, would I just need to flash a GSM and have her put in her T-Mobile SIM card? Or do I need to update to the new OTA software first? If so, is there an RUU for it?
Thanks for the help.

I don't think thats such a good idea especially if she uses the internet a lot because GSM users only get EDGE which is almost the slowest data connection.

Hey all,
So I'm using the DNA on AT&T and it works great. My question is, how do I go about getting the new software update that's being pushed out to other users while I'm on AT&T? For some reason, my DNA won't pick up the OTA on AT&T, and even sticking an old, deactivating Verizon SIM in it won't work either. I've also tried just using no SIM on wifi and checking for the update but still nothing. Any way I can download the RUU or something? Thanks!
how to unlock network AT&T
I think you can just download the update. Zip on the server and then flash it to your phone and you will have the update I know people over seas are probably going to do it that way since they can't get the ota in another country where there is no service.

Wouldn't flashing a zip require root? Or are you taking about an RUU? I'm not rooted and don't plan to be, just want the ota.

Aside from getting a GSM ready ROM (or patching a ROM), what steps do I need to perform to get this phone ready for travel in Greece? I'm thinking just adding global services to my contract since I won't need to activate this phone as its my primary device. Or am I wrong?
I'd like to keep voice, text and data operational.
Will my normal US Verizon SIM work?

Global Update
The Global Update has been announced so you should be getting it soon. Then your phone will be able to run abroad.
I'm not so much worried about the ROM as I am SIM card requirements or Verizon plan changes.
Will my Verizon SIM work there provided I'm on a GSM ROM? Do I need to enable international or us that a gimmick on Verizon's part?

You'd probably be better off suspending your Verizon contract for the duration of your trip and getting a Greek carrier's SIM card while you're there. Verizon's international roaming fees are absurd.
I'm new to Android.. coming from iPhone and WP7/8.
I love the HTC one and paid cash for this phone. I hate being controlled by the carrier when it comes to updates.... I know now.. that next time I will buy a unlocked/developer version if available.
My question is this. Being that it is an AT&T version, can i unlock the boot loader (assuming they haven't stopped this yet) and enable receiving my software updates directly from HTC? Just like the Dev phones.
I'm not so interested in "rooting" and loading custom Rom's at this point.. i just want to make sure i get the updates ASAP.. I don't want to wait on AT&T. (I wouldn't mind deleting some of the AT&T crap off the phone though)
I have searched Google and this forum and can not find an answer that is in such simple terms that i understand it lol ... sorry if this is a stupid question.
No.

Why would you buy an att device to use on tmo anyways?

You can unlock the bootloader, you'll need the carrier's help to SIM unlock. Check out the tutorial in the development section.
Unlocking your bootloader has nothing to do with when your phone gets updated.

Also, I don't believe that T-Mobile 4G HSPA or 4G LTE will work on the AT&T version. (But I wonder if the T-Mobile version of the phone will work on AT&T's network?)
If you want to run on T-Mobile US, you need the T-Mobile US version of the phone.
I am still deciding whether I should buy ATT version or T-mobile version but I can not tell how these are different.
Can you guys enlighten me? Can I unlock T-mobile version and use it on ATT 4G as well as LTE? Flashing ROMs based on stocks from both carriers work ok on both of these phones? I have not had HTC since HD2. Thank in advance.

The TMO version will get full speed on both ATT and TMO. The ATT version will not get TMO specific AWS (high speed 4G). However the ATT is available with 64 gb of storage.
I would get the TMO version and unlock it - TMO will do it if you pay full price up front.

I'm looking to S-Off my wife's DNA so I need to upgrade from 2.04 to 2.06. But were using her phone on Net10 Gsm (ATT).
So my question is does the 2.06 firmware upgrade lock down or restrict the gsm network options at all?
I know the DNA was the first and only phone to come from Verizon completely gsm unlocked and other phones im thinking the S3 and others came with cellular unlocked but data locked so u couldnt do what we did and run from verizon with their phone. So if 2.06 restricts gsm access were out of a phone and my wife might even kill me .
Cmon somebodys gotta know if they were able to switch their DNA to a gsm network after taking the 2.06 update?
