I've heard it's possible to flash the EVO 4G to things like Metro PCS and that it involves some sort of MEID hack. I was wondering if this is possible, but do it with TELUS (Canada) or Bell (not preferred)
Thanks.

So after being with AT&T since 1998 I'm am going to give T-Mobile a try. Unlimited everything for $70 with no throttling. Excellent T-Mobile coverage in my area as well as LTE. My S4 is already rooted, custom ROM installed, and sim unlocked. However I can't get the dialer codes to work to enable AWS &HSPA. *#7284# or *#0808#. I have downloaded and installed the required Phoneutil.apk and no go. Anyone have any suggestions. here is the link on how to enable the T-Mobile bands, but it's not working for me. http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/

You have to be on a stock touchwiz rom to get the dialer codes to work.They wont work on a custom rom or aosp rom.

Hey there,
I know both phones are exactly the same and that Videotron's D801 phone is indeed a mislabeled D803 and that it's compatible with almost everything from D803.
But I saw someone who flashed a Telus D803 on his Wind D801 phone and got problem with it.( See here, Post 23 )
My goal is mainly to see if LTE should work without problem and faster than the speeds I'm actually getting(that are more of a HSPA+ 42Mbps network) and also to see what are the build.prop values in this Bell's official firmware!
What should I do to proceed without problem and to make sure I can go back if something's going wrong? The guy in that thread seems to be knowing enough about flashing and it seems like he wasn't able to do anything else than bringing it to repair for them to flash it back to stock?
And about the regional code he's talking about, is it something in the build.prop thing? How do I do
In the ROM(CloudyG3) I'm currently using, build.prop network things are currently as follow:
ro.product.name=g3_global_com
ro.build.target_operator=GLOBAL
ro.build.target_country=COM
I'm guessing I should put it to the following or maybe something isn't good? I don't even know how to backup build.prop!:
ro.product.name=g2_vmc_ca
ro.build.target_operator=VMC
ro.build.target_country=CA
I'm using Virgin Mobile(Bell network)
I'm in Canada, using Telus Mobility (currently on an LG G2 with a smashed screen). I was recently gifted a T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T). Wondering if it's possible to flash this phone with a stock Telus Note 3 ROM, and if that would effectively unlock it as well?

Not sure if you can flash Telus ROM on N900T. But that will not unlock the phone.

So since the other "free" unlock methods I've looked at don't seem to work with 4.4.2 (RegionLock Away, and the UMTS menu), is there any other way short of paying some unknown on the internet 30+ to generate a code for me? Flash a generic ROM, or a new kernel or radio, or...?
I suppose I can ask T-Mobile but me being in Canada, I doubt they'd oblige.

Not sure but typically you can buy it online. There are many sites available.
Did you try these secret codes to enter directly to the Service Main Menu: *#27663368378#
Will it even work on Telus? I'm thinking it won't since it uses AWS (1700MHz) instead of 850/1900MHz that Telus uses for HSPA
Unlocked now, Telus SIM in and registered... data icon shows "4G LTE", so I guess it does

How did you do with it.

Finally gave in and bought an unlock code... cellunlock.net I think, or one of those.
Does the Sprint variant work with Ting GSM (essentially T-Mobile towers) if you SIM unlock it following the SIM unlock tutorials? Or would it require more than that? I looked on HTC's site and its shows the phone has all the same bands for the Sprint version and T-Mobile version. Does anyone have a Sprint version working with Ting or T-Mobile?

I believe it does if you change your cid and flash it to the unlocked firmware. There are threads everywhere on how to do this, make sure to check the un-carrier branded HTC 10 xda site.

I run a Sprint device on T-Mobile. Works perfect with the exception of WiFI Calling which I am currently trying to get working.
Simple way is to unlock SIM NV method, load custom recovery, load latest Viper ROM, on AROMA pick the proper base install MM or N and Choose T-Mobile for carrier and that's really it man. the LTE bands are already all there, reason why I say Viper after the unlock is because other people including me had trouble getting data to work on stock Sprint MM. Flashing Viper solved that beautifully.

The only thing that sucks is you will be missing WiFi Calling which to me was a little annoying. I have tried everything, I went as far as S-OFF (kinda of a waste of $25) installed multiple firmwares (T-Mobile stock with Sprint radio, etc), different rom's, so far nothing, it seems tied to the actual us unlocked/t-mobile radio which as we know isn't compatible with the Sprint variant. On the plus everything else works including VoLTE.

If you ever figured out Wi-Fi calling on the Sprint HTC 10 for T-Mobile, do you remember how and can you tell me?
Hi everyone, title basically says it all. The phone was fully paid for and unlocked. Formally an At&t phone. I'm trying to use it on Sprint's network as it should support it but however I cannot get it to activate at all. Apparently it isn't even recognized by Sprint's system at all. Any advice?
Is it because Sprint is a cdma network and at&t is a gsm network?
I could be very wrong but I dont believe gsm unlocked phones dont play well with verizon/sprint even though they have all the bands.
Let someone wiser point you in the write direction but probably flashing sprint rom on the phone would probably help. There is a thread in rom section that has you flash the unlocked firmware and then flash carrier firmware. I did this with my att unlocked 10+ and now using as a tmobile device(for carrier stuff).
Take it to a store or call ... they're picky as to letting devices on the network that aren't in their system
Gotta flash the g975u1 firmware on it...
