Hello Everyone, I'm trying to activate my fathers Evo 3d on the Sprint network. The phone is currently running CM 10.1 "Wild for the night." I've gone through the process of activating the phone on Sprints end but every time I try to activate the phone I get a message that says that I'm "not authorized to call this number."
This feels like a stupid question but does this phone have to be running stock Sprint software/firmware to activate? If so, how do I know what version of the software I need?

Any stock sprint ROM will work for activation. Since your running WTFN, your hboot is incompatible with most Sprint ICS ROMS, so you could either flash an old Sprint gingerbread based ROM, or change your hboot to 1.58 and flash a sprint ICS based ROM

Can someone please enlighten me? Is the band compatibility issues on the HTC One GPE a hardware limitation or software limitation?
Reason I ask is that I would like to do a full GPE conversion on my HTC One that I got from T-mobile. If I do this would I still be able to connect to the same towers and have the same signal on HSPA+ specifically? Or would I have to (and be able to) flash a T-mobile radio? Or would I just be screwed?

I have the gpe 4.3 radio on my T-Mobile htc one and I'm getting better lte reception than the T-Mobile radio.
I'm running the arhd 4.2.2 Rom.

The Roms you install shouldn't prevent you from connecting to the HSPA network. The HTC One GPE has a physical (radio) limitation that prevents it from connecting to the HSPA because its lacking one of the radios for the frequency TMobile uses for that standard.
If you have a TMobile phone and make it be a GPE via ROM flash, you shouldn't have issues.

Thanks I wasn't quite sure what the limitation was. I couldn't fully convert to GPE like I wanted since I can't get s-off but I'm running ARHD 4.3 with the GPE radio and yep I'm getting even better signal. Thanks guys

What about the Dev Edition working with flashed radio
This may be a n00b question, but I have an opportunity on a sweet deal for a Developer Edition One, and am considering T-Mo for the service. I understand it lacks the HPSA+ 1700 radio, but is that a physical limitation, or can you flash the necessary firmware on top? According to T-Mo, my area of Atlanta is serviced by LTE, so it wouldn't be an issue at home, but I don't know what would happen when I step out of the coverage zone.
Any tips or advice?

It's a physical issue, it does not have a radio that supports T-Mo's frequencies, as much as I'd like one, I can't give up LTE

This post has answered one question of mine being whether the hspa issue was a hardware issue or not. Hkwver I have a normal T-Mobile one that I converted to fully stock gpe with stock boot loader and recovery and ever since making the switch in certain areas I lose LTE briefly cinect to hspa and end up on 3g. Before the switch in these same areas I would never lose LTE connection or suffer speed loss. Since the switch though there are a lot of areas that I cannot connect to anything but 3g. So if this is a hardware limitation the GPE RUU shouldn't effect this manner or is there something in the RUU preventing access to this radio seeing as it was written with knowledge of the hardware it was being placed on not having the proper hardware? Is there anything I can do to restore functionality of hspa while keeping Google play edition on my HTC one ?

I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm trying to figure one thing out - you were able to do a full GPE conversion (including RUU and changing the model ID) to a T-Mobile One and didn't brick it?

no it did not brick the device if fully functional receives ota updates and the questions I had in the OP I've answered. The device gets hspa+ 42 as well as LTE so the issue must be a hardware limitation of the gpe that u can actually purchase. In fact it is a at t model which is why it suffers the lack of HEPA connectivity. However if j flash a T-Mobile over to GPE RUU it will have HEPA+ connectivity. Also mid and Cid do not need to be changed in order to get ota updates. The OP has been edited since this was discovered all u need to do is flash the ruu and you'll have a fully official gpe HTC one with ota.
Few days ago i found a HTC EVO 4G Sprint I found out its been flashed to MetroPCS and rooted but it keeps turning off and vibrating 3 times then staying black screen maybe is missing some files since i found it with no sd card i tried putting a sd card but it wont read it. So my question is there away anyone can help me set it back to stock step by step. Thanks in advanced.

You need to go to the EVO 4G forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-evo-4g
The EVO View 4G is a 7" tablet made by HTC for Sprint. http://reviews.cnet.com/tablets/htc-evo-view-4g/4505-3126_7-34555254.html
It is a bit confusing for Sprint's line of HTC devices, much like Verizon's Droid line, where they use a similar naming convention.
There's the EVO 4G, the 4.3" smartphone.
Then there's the EVO Shift 4G, a smartphone with a physical keyboard.
Then there's the EVO View 4G, a tablet based on the HTC Flyer (which is the first device mentioned in this forum's title).
Then there's the EVO 4G LTE, a smartphone based on the HTC One X but modified to be the successor to the EVO 4G.
I cant pair my phone with anything. Does anyone have a fix for it?

Is this a new problem? Does your EVO show up on the list of available devices when looking from the other device? And does your EVO see the different devices?
I just returned a refurbished phone to Sprint because of this.

Hi, I recently bought a Evo Shift because 1. it was really cheap (a mere $15 and works fine and even good shape) 2. I wanted to put it on freedompop for their free service and this phone was on the supported list. (for those who don't know 4G is free and 3G isn't, weird I know..)
heres my problem though, coming from the very old and slow HTC Desire, I've gotten rather used to android 4.X and I very much like it and while there are plenty of roms for it, however none of the 4.X roms have 4G support.. so yay... back to GB it is then.. (no technical reason that I know of, it seems that everyones just lazy, doesn't want to bother and calling Wimax dead so they won't do it themselves)
so my question is, how could I possibly go about adding 4G Wimax support to a custom rom? I'm having a hard time finding guides or anything related on how to work with cellular data, any help is much appreciated.
