That's not the T Mous version, that's a Euro version which according to Google doesn't have correct bands for T Mous 4g. The T Mous one is htc sensation z710e.
Edit you are missing HSPA/WCDMA 1700 band which T Mous uses for 4g.

Seriously dude, how are you missing the fact that his phone doesn't have the correct band for T Mous 4g? SIM card won't change that, it's hardware related.
This amazon link shows the model and bands for T Mous Sensation 4g bands in case you don't believe me

The thunderbolt is not a gsm phone which is what t-mobile network is, so it will never work.

Further added, the band of LTE is 700, while GSM carriers use 850, 1900. So no, it absolutely won't work.

Hi all
Just a quick question about the radio and flashing.
I understand that when a device is flashed to a custom ROM, that a radio is cooked in. (am I correct?)
Now my situation is this. I live in Australia, and am thinking of purchasing a 2nd hand Inspire 4G (AT&T) from the US, but from my research, due to the Inspire's (from AT&T) frequencies being 850/1900, this causes a small problem in Australia, where only telstra's NextG network operates on this band.
So in effect, I would be limited to NextG if I had this phone in Australia. the other major carrier here (optus) uses 900/2100.
Not a biggie right now as I use telstra nextg, but I may want to change.
So, question would be, when a phone is flashed, can I change the radio via the ROM, or is the frequencies a phone uses controlled by hardware?
thanks.
It's hardware mate.

now to decide if its worth it.....can get one pretty cheap compared to here in Australia.
Check out tmobile I don't recall the bands they use but they sell the desire HD which is the Inspire 4G for them.
Edit: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-desire-hd/#specs
Looks like it is 900/2100
So now the question is, what provider will you stick to in Australia

Yeah its a tough decision ...I'm going to be moving soon to study, and where I'm going both carriers are good, but telstra is prob the dearest. Where I currently live needs telstra and I get a sim card through work (I use my own phone though)
So I basically need a 850 phone for 3 months then I can use whatever .......
I just bought one and I am on Telstra. I also have a desire hd. Inspire in my opinion is the best choice.
Inspire can still run on Optus. My missus uses it occasionally with no issues.

I have a Sensation Z710a bought new from Telstra Australia.
I have rooted the phone, S-off and installed Coredroid 2.5
All is working well. One unexpected advantage I have found is that my phone is now 4G compatible.
I found that when I download from the Android market, it uses the 4G network.
It also now shows my phone as a Z710e.
Telstra web site says that 4G is only avalible to USB devices, NOT phones as the HTC 4G has not been released in Australia. I rang Telstra and they confirmed this.
(Q) does changing ROM allow 4G to work? Or is it something to do with rooting the phone?
Do I have Australia's only 4G phone?
The Rom you installed is most likely to be US based, so H icon has been replaced with 4g.

Thanks Tinky1, I had seen the H icon and didn't know what it was.
But, there is not supposed to be any phones available in Australia that use 4G.

Don't live in the US but don't Verizon use LTE and CDMA and T-Mobile USA use HSPA + which is GSM?
So I assume the actual hardware would be different which means you couldn't just flash the Sensation to Verizon?
Jar curious because I'm getting one for free
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I have not heard of a CDMA Sensation, so my answer on this question would be a no, as the Sensation is traditionally a GSM device.
No. Not possible at all.

Please help
Doesn't matter if you can put the sim card from Verizon into the Sensation, it's not going to work. The Sensation does not use LTE, so an LTE sim isn't going to work.
ok, thank you. Can I unlock it or will it still not work?

So as of tonight I bought a HTC Merge on ebay. Is it gonna be able to work on T-Mobile at all. I ddon't care about it being edge. I just want it to work because its a bad ass phone. I really love this phone and can't wait for it. But I wanna use it. I Googled it. And it has the frequencies match for edge. Please let me know.

I found root and s off for it. Which is a plus. And a few roms aand unlock codes.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
Yeah. it should. It's only going to be EDGE though. So, don't be shocked, and it's also got a single core 800mhz processor.
that's not bad. Its comparable to the G2. And yeah edge. Was expecting that. my only phones right now are currently edge. I'm use to it now. I have wifi at home and work. Do you know of anyone who's using a us cellular merge with T-Mobile

And is it possible to do software wise. Or would I have to get the code via blowfish Unlocks?

Well. I got my Merge unlocked and rooted. And it just says no service. So does anyone know of something that can mod it to work?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE Z715e with Beats Audio
You're gonna have to ask some Merge experts on that. Surely theres something special you have to do because its provisioned as a CDMA phone by default. You probably have to do something for it to recognize your SIM properly for GSM.
Probably. Honestly. I found one on Craigslist that the dude was running on tmobile and I tried to find it just about an hour ago and now I can't. So I couldn't ask him. But I tried to contact one guy who was in the merge dev. Or at least he was

It IS the G2...
The G2, Desire Z, Vanguard, and Merge is actually called "HTC Vision". But the Merge never had the Z hinge that the G2 and Desire Z had. But that's why they all have the 2nd Gen 800Mhz Snapdragon.
The thing about the Merge is, it was meant to be the HTC Vision for Verizon, but Verizon never let it be released in their stores. I think US Cellular has it right now though, and it is completely compatible with Verizon's network. So the Merge is like the long lost brother of the G2 and Desire Z.
Anyways to answer your question, your HTC Merge will be able to be serviced under T-Mobile (and even At&t) according to phonescoop.

I really like how it has both GSM AND CDMA radios

I remember on my cousin's Droid 2 Global, have you tried to go to Settings and Wireless settings and then you had to change something from like "CDMA only" or "GSM only"?
