[Q] Using ATT One X with T-Mobile and getting 4G - possible?

Just curious about this question - because I would really want to use this with T-Mobile.
So, a few days ago I noticed that an aquintance of mine was using an ATT Samsung Note with T-Mobile. I asked him - but you are only getting Edge (2G), right? So he says - "No! I flashed the GSM version modem, and I am getting HSPA+ (4G)", or whatever you call it.
I was shocked! Amazing solution.
Do we have this?
Thanks

Ever thought to read the other thread that's already open about this phone on T-Mobile?
We don't even have a bootloader unlocked and you're asking about flashing different radios. SMH.

Sigh. If S-Off is ever achieved then it will be possible. All you need is a similar phone with the same SoC that has a T-Mobile radio. In this case a One S radio may allow an S-Off One X to work on T-Mobile.
ANYONE CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM SEEM SMARTER THOUGH.

Hey other smart guy, you never said that but there is nothing wrong with someone asking a question. If they already made the thread they obviously haven't read any other possible threads so there is no point in not answering the question. I get people need to search but the thread is already here.
And when I say other smart guy I mean it in a respectful way because you gave a respectful response.

Ohh good one. As if no one has ever said "cool story bro" before. All he did was ask a simple question; would have taken less time to give an actual answer than to chastise him.

one x motherboard swap

I have a Rogers htc one x that is ICJ bricked, and a line on a working, rooted Rogers one x that just has a shattered digitizer for $135. I'm planning on swapping the motherboard. I'm not worried about the physical swap, I've already disassembled the phone and I'm totally comfortable with that.
my only question is if there will be issues with hardware that I'm unaware of. my impression is that the motherboard has all the components with IDs on it like imei etc. and all the other components are totally swappable. so in essence, putting this other motherboard into my phone is more like transferring all my parts around his phone.
like saying "a brain transplant will never be possible, but perhaps a full body transplant one day."
but I digress...
is there anything I'm not considering?

Your imei is stored in mmcblk0p4 you can just dd it and hex edit your imei and cid into it and then dd it back

It turned out quite well! I needed to unlock the Frankensteined phone, note that the imei needs to match the motherboard. Also, I needed to have a stock based (i.e. sense based) Rom installed for the unlock to work.
Other than that, the phone isn't too tough to disassemble (find a video, if you need help, let me know), although when I pulled one of the phones apart, it pulled the button portion of the power button off. I needed to swap the power button assembly with the other phone.
So as it stands, I have a perfect condition one xl, and one bricked xl with a shattered digitizer ($25 part) and no power button ($15 part). Still trying to figure out what to do with it...right now I'm just waiting to see if it can be unbricked. If so, I can fix it and sell it, or just let my wife have it.

It can't be compatible with both the X and XL at the same time. I suspect it's probably the one NOT compatible with our XL =(

Well, if you get it and it's compatible with your ATT One X, I'd love to know because I'd want one too.

It's relatively cheap, so I thought I would risk it and order one. I'll let you know how it works out.

Looking to buy one, this post has the same pic but it says it works with "HTC One X XL" whatever that means, so, does that mean it would fit?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3200mAh-Cha...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item460e8ca7cb

It almost certainly means they just don't know and it won't fit when you get it.

Don't buy it won't work. I speak from personal experience. I bought one. The fit is close, but the pogo pins just don't line up to provide power.

Sorry for the late response. I bought the white version of this and it didn't work.

Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping to get something like this for my HOXL.

Does anyone know if this will really work with AT&T model?

No idea. Tempted to buy it with bounty money and take one for the team if it doesn't fit, though.
Can anyone find one of these that ships from the US, so we don't have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to find out if it's legit?

I didn't notice this before. In pic number 3 on this page I noticed that they had an AT&T version. I am assuming that this means that this will work for our phones, maybe, hopefully.

It's coming via Singapore Post, so it'll take up to 26 days.

replaced broken screen/dont have original

so I have a practically new one x with a brand new scre3en but don't have the original screen to prime so to speak to get the new one going,i guess this is common you need to plug in the old screen start the phone then plug in the new one, is there any way around this, like I said I don't have the original screen and cant get the new one to come on when I plug it in......thanks in advance for any and all replies...jim

I believe the only way around it is to have the exact same model screen as you had before since 3 models were made by 2 different manufacturers. Though, I am no expert, I did do a fair amount of research on this and did not come up with any way to get around it while researching.

What did you do with the old screen? Trash it before you knew it was needed? And do you remember the color on the tab? The 3 screens have different colors. You have 2 choices left. And if I recall I think the Sony screens work on them all. But like exad I'm not a expert either just too much time to read threads on XDA

I think I read somewhere that you have to connect the new screen while the phone is powered on, so it will sync properly. I may be wrong though.

Was gonna say that but figured I probably would have gotten a wise answer. Don't know why but for some reason, the XL forums are seeing a large increase in helpless noobs recently. Probably cause of the One being released and everybody trading in their XL.

Yup. HTC really botched the naming on this phone. It's like Hardees and the Six Dollar Burger. It is both a burger size and a menu item. I've ended up with the wrong order a couple times because of that. Just like people brick their phones confusing the One X international and the One X from AT&T.
I think it would help if they'd sticky the 3.18 method in this forum. I had to do a bit of digging and read through quite a few threads to make sure I was reading the right info for rooting my freshly repaired phone and getting s-off. I know it's still in the hack and chop no one-click phase, but I'm sure the guys asking feel like I do and prefer stickies because it gives the post the feeling that the info is the most accurate available and that's where the geniuses who cook up these exploits will be posting.
