It is my understanding that the Verizon HTC 10 is unlocked for other carriers. So I'm hoping that someone here can tell me if the bands in the phone work well with ATT service.

I have not tested it out personally but I am 99% sure it will work.
I had a Verizon M9 (which is unlocked just as the HTC 10) and gave it to my girlfriend about 2 months ago. I only had to change the APN settings and she gets flawless service.

For the correct APN settings (for any carrier), search google for "*insert carrier* APN settings".

ATT and Tmobile sim cards work i guess, does LTE work too? Is there a way to flash an international firmware and covert it to a real unlocked phone without verizon traces?
Not working! It shows error as soon as I try to activate it

Do at your own risk.
You should be able to s-off, supercid and flash att ruu, converting to 100% at device.

The unlocked ruu would work at the very least. Just need to change mid and Cid and flash the unlocked ruu. No doubt in my mind it would work then.

I use Cricket which is a sub-brand of ATT. I am able to receive decent speeds, but not anything over 8 Mbps due to my plan.
If you are not able to use an AT&T SIM on your Verizon HTC 10, you can always flash the unlocked firmware.
You can follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/guide-aosp-roms-booting-vzw-10-via-t3487903
Since you will not need to use a Verizon SIM, you can skip the part about deleting the .img files.

Hello guys as you guys may have heard from other sources the moto X first gen is sim locked by the firmware I can unlock them as long as I can get a nv dump from the phones an a nv dump from a unlocked version (example dev edition or one that has be on taken in store an unlocked) if I can get the nv dumps I can compare them an provide a easy unlock I have the US cellular version on 4.4.2
If you post a nv dump post it like this
@(mytag) (carrier) (android version) attachment
I'll post a tool to use an instructions on how to dump it
My Moto X was never SIM locked. Where are you getting your information?
@afox27 Your thread title might be a little misleading since...
The Verizon XT1060, and the GSM XT1053 are Sim unlocked out of the box.
The ATT and Rogers XT1058 are SIM unlockable by getting the code from the carrier (might have to meet their criteria), or by purchasing from one of many online retailers that sell SIM unlock codes.
I believe the XT1052 in Asia and Europe is also SIM unlocked out of the box.
The Sprint XT1056 and Republic Wireless XT1049 can be sim unlocked via the steps/process posted in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
As for the US Cellular XT1055, and the Regional XT1050, well, those I am not sure about. So if you have a way that works for them which is different, cool! Please expand on what is needed!!

That's very interesting. So, flash AT&T's OS, for example, and it'll work. That's what you meant by another carrier's system?

Yes. Ik it works with T-Mobile. Awhile back some ones gf had a xt1055 on T-Mobile. Verizon should work. To. But. Funny thing is you don't need a sim card for Verizon. I'm. Right now experimenting with the xt1042 aka moto g 4glte. I will confirm this here in a bit for the xt1055. Or. You could. Root your phone. An get a APN editor. An try that.

Ok, so unlocked the bootloader, flashed the 4.4.3 Tmobile image, and rooted the phone. I didn't have a nano sim to test with, but it could see AT&T's network. I'm hoping that means that it'll work on GSM networks overseas, since my brother is going to the UK. Thanks so much!

Lots of people have had success unlocking their on contract and NEXT devices by using the online portal. I was able to get 2 on contract iPhones unlocked by submitting a request. The first went through no issues, the second took about 40 tries and I had to do it as a GoPhone even though it wasn't. Human error I am sure but idc I got the devices unlocked.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
I think for the on contract phones that are w/in like 60 or 90 days of the onset of their contract, they get automatic denials. But everyone else is reviewed by a human and if you submit enough requests, you eventually get an unlock.
Hey Folk,
Will the Sprint variant of the HTC 10 work on tmobile? Thanks in advance!
I am also curious about this!
It will need to be modified, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and S-off. Most likely you won't see a thread for this as the US Unlocked version can work on T-mobile

Hi bro, i have unlocked my 626s in the past with this seller and so i asked him about my HTC 10 half week ago. He told me that he can but that the data would not work and i accepted for 35.00 (phone will be used overseas and they don't care too much about data) checked my SIM with T-Mobile and yes, voice and messages working great but no data. He said he was working to fix it or something (i don't really care now because phone will be in another country on a few days lol)
Didn't find the listing that i bought but find a similar one, but ask him to see if he can help you.

I'm been trying to read up on if I can flash a tmobile ruu to convert it to a tmobile version. I just can't find a definitive answer of if it will work and if it would be like having a tmobile variance or if it will mess up the radio or something
Also is anyone using the Verizon variance on tmobile on stock? And have you been getting delayed calls and messages?
I'm trying too... I'll be watching

It might work, but it's also a risk and as you said there aren't many reports of such conversions. Read the first reply here about flashing non VZW software on VZW phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-10/help/looking-straight-forward-answer-verizon-t3447959
You can however flash the U.S Unlocked RUU, provided you're s-off. I've done that myself.
Okay so I can just change Cid, flash the unlocked US ruu, with radio img and all? Does wifi calling work for you? If you can, can you do a step by step? Just wanna make sure I have everything in order

Yes, changing CID (need S-off) and running the RUU is the jist of it. Need to back up everything first if course.

I'm not using the phone on VZW network so I can't tell you about Wi-Fi calling, but I don't think it will work.
I'm trying to use it in tmobile so as long as everything works for tmobile then it's cool

I was in fact successful, thanks to dottats advice. Here's what I did.
Rebooted recovery. Wiped with twrp. Installed Insert coin (because it had T-Mobile support)
Booted, set up for T-Mobile. Rebooted into download mode. Flashed unlocked radio from this thread (the first download link): http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/radio-htc10-radio-collection-t3398233
Booted into fastboot. Changed CID to unlocked version
fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
Rebooted to Rom. Selected T-Mobile network in the data settings. All is good so far, except Wi-Fi calling seems broke.
So I have seen multiple people here on the forum claiming to do it or wanting to do it and I am a bit confused. I have an s7 edge on contract from ATT. Can I do this? If I flash T Mobile's firmware on this does this make my phone usable with a T Mobile sim?
Thank you

Wouldn't you still need to SIM unlock your AT&T phone to use on T-mobile network? I don't think just flashing another carriers ROM will allow you to use their network. Am I Wrong in thinking this way?

Flashing the phones firmware will not carrier unlock the device. That is tied to the IMEI. It will boot up the Tmobile software, but it still will only work on AT&T network.
Also in order to unlock the device from AT&T they will most likely bill you for the remaining value of the device as soon as you request an unlock code. You cannot take a phone from one carrier to another unless it is fully paid off.
I have an Unlocked AT&T S7 and I can put in a T-Mobile sim and it works. So why Flash T-Mobile onto an AT&T phone if its Unlocked??? My AT&T S7 is Paid for in Full.
My question is, if you do flash T-Mobile firmware on AT&T phone will you get OTA updates off of T-Mobile, like when Nougat comes out????? Also would you still have wifi calling and get all the LTE bands of a T-Mobile phone????

Yes. All the edge models have identical hardware. Their only differentiating factor is the firmware they run. I flashed the unlocked firmware onto my AT&T model and now get updates directly from Samsung. If you flash the T-mobile firmware on the AT&T device, all features will work and updates will come from T-Mobile. Same would work if you flash the AT&T firmware onto a T-Mobile variant. Or Verizon to Sprint, Sprint to AT&T, etc.

So you are saying this about S7 Edge, does this work the same for the AT&T S7 SM-G930A? Mine is not the Factory Unlocked model but I got the unlock code from AT&T. I thought the firmware came from the carrier and not Samsung on updates on a carrier branded phone???
So if I flash T-Mobile into my AT&T S7, I can also flash it back to AT&T firmware should I go back to AT&T???

Well people on the S7 edge have flashed the tmo firmware on their AT&T models. Updates come from carrier on branded phones. So if you have an AT&T phone and flash another carriers firmware, it would only be branded by the physical logo on the back. It's like buying a Windows PC and installing Linux. The updates would come from Linux, not Windows, and vice versa. You could always go back to the AT&T firmware, just make sure that both firmwares you flash are on the same bootloader version.

Updates do come from the carrier. However, if you flash a different carriers firmware you will start getting updates from the new carrier.
