Here is my question I have an HTC 7 PRO (aka HTC ARRIVE,HTC GOLD) the model is HTC USCCHTC-PC93100 I have a student unlock but I need a full unlock. I am new to rom flashing on windows phones im used to jailbreaking and rooting android and ios. I was looking at try to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981 to my phone what I want to know is is it possible to flash this to my model of HTC and if I do flash it will it will I have to take my phone back to US cellular to have them reprogram the phone to their network or will it work just like normal after flashing any adive would help thanks.
Do you have a GOLD (also known as the 7 Pro) or a GOLD_C (also known as the Arrive)? The GOLD is a GSM phone, and won't work on Sprint or any other CDMA carrier. The Arrive is a CDMA phone and won't work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier. Flashing the ROM won't help here, either - this is a hardware issue (literally, the radios are different, plus GSM phones have SIM card slots and CDMA phones usually don't). Do *not* attempt to flash a GOLD_C ROM to a GOLD or vice-versa; it'll probably fail but if it doesn't you may make the phone unusable and unrecoverable short of using a JTAG connection.
However, if you want to flash a GSM ROM to a GSM phone, or a CDMA ROM to a CDMA phone, go ahead. However, that won't remove the SIM-lock if there is one. The odds are, if the phone can't be activated with your preferred carrier right now, re-flashing the ROM won't help.
US Cellular says its a 7 PRO but model says 93100 which is the arrive it doesn't have a sim slot so it is a CDMA and DFTs XSPL Tool says its a GOLD_C it has spl version 4.1.230513.1 I have tried the spl downgrade tool but it fails at 4 percent and says invalid vendor ID but if I did manage to flash it would if have to be reprogramed by us cellular to work again since its CDMA and not a sim card
I ran a system information tool and it reports the phone as the HTC arrive so I'm not sure why us cellular markets the phone as the 7 pro but it is definitely the HTC arrive gold_c with a sol of 4.3
Try to flash the older version of your US cellular radio (download from the website in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427907)
And then try to flash it, using the directions listed here

In other words, you want to downgrade your SPL with just a radio flash (task 00). It is not necessary to flash the whole ROM. (Or you can do a hard reset - no big deal, as you will loose all your stuff anyway if you do flash a new ROM)
Then, you can go ahead and try to change RSPL and flash the ROM to see if it works. If not, not big deal, can always flash back your stock rom (also avail on above web site)
I have managed to downgrade my htc arrive us cellular spl and I used the xspl tool to install rspl and hspl now is it possible for me to flash this rom image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981
the only thing is the rom image says gold_c_sprint and my carrier is us cellular will I be able to flash this and use the phone like normally or will I have to take the phone back to us cellular after flashing and have them set the phone back up with there network
I have managed to flash my phone with the rom I posted and it still works but all branding on the phone is now sprint is there any way to get the branding back to US Cellular via reg edit for warranty purposes I have went into
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\ and changed mobile operator to USC-US which is US cellular
I also changed the MODeviceName into USCCHTC-PC93100 which was the original name of the device. but im not sure if there's anything else that need to be changed and I cant figure out how to get the marketplace back to the us cellular marketplace they had apps that were only available when it was set up with us cell
I would be careful of changing things in DeviceTargetingInfo; poke the wrong setting and your Marketplace (and all apps installed from it) can stop working or your phone may receive an update that damages it due to an incompatibility with a prior update from a different MO or something.
There is a "Marketplace Config" app available that allows you to select the OEM and MO marketplaces. On a GSM phone, the MO marketplace is usually automatically switched depending on the SIM card (this switch may take a day or two).
Another option would be to start with the US Cellular ROM, and customize it with full-unlock and any other changes you want. This is not my area, though; I have no real experience with creating custom ROMs but there are entire sections of this forum devoted to the topic.
that might be what I have to do is just make a custom us cellular rom Ill look for a section in the fourm to see what I can find on how to make a custom rom
please give me link for us cellular raido

Hello Xda, I am new to posting, but I am legit stuck on this and i require help so hopefully I can here. I own a US Cellular Galaxy S4 sch-r970 running stock (flashed stock) 4.3 flashed to Ntelos using CDMA workshop. Its not running 3g (damn 1x) but i hope to soon resolve that with prls updates. But before i can do this i need to find a way to root with ruining the flash (basically no flash rooting with odin or custom boot menu :'(... ). I have already tried framaroot (they don't support 4.3 with aragorn or gandalf....) and i wanna try kingo but they won't give me a straight answer of weather or not their application is compatible with flashed phones. So to put it simply i wanna root my phone and if there is no way not to ruin the flash can i keep root and reflash??? plus if anybody can help me with the prls because my phone everytime 1x is turned on/off the phone calls *228 and i know i need to update the prls.... sooooo yea if anybody can please help i would appriciate it very much. Thanks.
Hi,
I´m a noob with the ROM/Firmware matter, so I need some help from you. Here I go, I rooted and unlocked my Sprint S8 (G950U) and I´m trying to change the ROM/Firmware to get the international version (or I don´t know if what some call generic is the same as international version) to avoid my cellphone boots with the Sprint logo, but everytime I flash the ROM/Firmware, an error comes up when the update reach 30%, then it shows erasing and then reboots again with Sprint logo. What am I doing wrong?
Odin version is 3.12.3 patched and it always pass. Version ROM/Firmware is G950USQU1AQDE_SPR, I tried with the same, but TMK (G950USQU1AQDE_TMK)
I hope to be clear about it, any help would be very appreciated.
Regards.
If it did work, you'll most likely either brick your phone or if that doesn't happen, not get cell service. If I'm remembering everything correctly. If you really cant live with the Sprint boot screen, I say wait until theres a custom rom or find out how to remove it yourself.
Hello everyone, I've searched everywhere for T-Mo firmware in a flashable zip to basically install it just like a custom rom to be able to get a temporary sim unlock until I pay in full my phone, right now my phone is running flawlessly with dual boot, latest global firmware and a custom rom on the other, 2 sims T-Mo and AT&T, but instead of reverting back to T-Mo to unlock the sim and converting back to international I just don't want to go that route, so if someone can provide me with the android 10 flashable zip link( I don't know if there is an existing one) for TMobile I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks bud.
I need a new phone as I'm on Sprint's CDMA that's being shutdown by T-Mobile.
My current phone is the Moto G5+, running Magisk, TWRP, and cdroid.
I am in search of suggestions for a new phone, preferably one which can be rooted, use TWRP, and custom ROMS.
Can anyone suggest a replacement phone?
(I'm not looking for an Apple device.)
Thanks in advance.
