Hi,
I have a HTC One M8 Verizon. somehow it does not detect the WIND mobile carrier.
I have s-off, rooted and Revolution ROM installed. Still I not working.
It supposed to be unlocked and work with T-Mobile. My old lg g2 is from tmobile and unlocked, which works without any problems with the Wind Mobile wcdma.
Changed Cid to 11111111
There is no issues with are all the others carriers like Rogers, Telus, Fido, Virgin and Bell. I successfully tested with them work colleagues Sims.
Any idea i can detect Wind Mobile?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think, an M8 will work with Wind Mobile if you bought it unlock not from any carrier.

Not possible. As with all CDMA carriers, this is only possible if they allow the devices ESN into there databases to authenticate on there network. No CDMA carrier (In the US that is) really does that, so good luck to you sir.
NOTE: I know some sprint phones can go to virgin though, but thats because virgin uses sprints network.
I had heard that you infact could do that. However, i do not if it is true. You can call Virgin Mobile and ask them if your phone can be activated.
I wonder with it being unlocked and now with the option to switch to GSM, you could switch to any carrier?
If you do, will you report back here please

This is really wierd. Hope someone can help.
I bought an unlocked LG Optimus G E971 phone in Toronto, Canada this May. Inserting a Rogers and Fido SIM card was perfectly fine and working while I was in Toronto Canada. No SIM network unlock PIN required.
In October, I travelled on vacation to Hong Kong with the same phone that I thought was unlocked. As always, I would buy a local SIM for my unlocked phone. To my surprised, it prompted for a SIM network unlock PIN. I went to a total of 3 carriers, including 3 Telecom, China Mobile and one other (cannot remember the name). All asked for a SIM unlock PIN.
Not believing what had happened, I went back to the shop in Toronto, Canada after returning home. Tried inserting Rogers, Fido, Bell and AT & T SIM card, all worked perfectly.
My question is, could this be a region lock? Like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3?
Anyone has similar experience to share?

Probably.
Region locking or maybe that your phone did not have the right baseband? I dont know. My phone had a similar problem, it displayed roaming in the native country I was.
If you find something about it, please do post back, ok. I am very curious to this issue.
You need to unlock the phone from your carrier in order to user unlocked sim on your mobile

I can use both Fido/Rogers and Bell. They are different carriers and Fido and Bell are competitors in Canada. My LG Optimus G E971 is manufacture unlocked meaning its brand new and unlocked when I bought it from the shop. I don't buy locked phones from carriers and I don't need an unlock code. Been buying and using manufacture unlocked GSM phones in the past 10 years, never had an issue. Not a believer of locked phones and it's ripped off plans in North America.

The LG Optimus G E971 is quad band and it has HSDPA 850/1900/2100. I matched this to my Samsung Omnia II (I8000) which has HSDPA 900/1900/2100. My Omnia II is manufacture unlocked and is usable in Hong Kong (Asia) without an issue. Not a phone tech person but I would assume my LG Otpimus G E971 is quad band and is useable in Hong Kong.
I didn't know there was a section for LG Otpimus G, I have also posted my replies here:

There is a thread in the development section of the VZW M8 forum with a how to enable fully functional T-mobile usage.
But out of the box I think it supports Voice on GSM and HSPA+ data and there maybe some additional fooling around necessary to get Text and MMS working. This is generally the story with all Verizons new smart phones.

Lol there are some threads already and some videos. I also have purchased one. I can confirm it is unlocked. Works great with Canadian Fido, rogers, telus and bell.
Somehow it cannot detect wind mobile at all which is really odd. It is confirmed that it works with T-Mobile. My old lg g2 is from T-Mobile which is unlocked and works great with wind. I simply don't understand why the tmobile sim will work Verizon HTC one m8 and not my wind sim. Both are wcdma. ��

Wind uses 1700 mhz which T-Mobile uses as well but not exclusively. This is why t-mobile phones will work on wind but just because a phone works with T-Mobile doesn't mean it will work on wind.

Yea I really need a fix for this. Does anyone know how to make the Verizon HTC One M8 work on WIND Mobile (1700 and 2100 MHz on GSM/UTMS and AWS frequencies)
I really need help and quick.
Thank you in advance!
Can anyone tell me if the phones is region locked? Thanks
i am not sure what you are looking for but i do know that there is a thread on here where someone tried a Verizon SIM in a Tmob and ATT S6 and neither one worked on Verizon.
Generally Verizon phones are SIM unlocked so u can use them on Tom or att but don't expect to get lte coverage since the phones have different bands enabled.

That's because those don't have CDMA radios, and at least the AT&T one is locked. Verizon phones come SIM-unlocked and work with other carriers. If you use a T-Mobile SIM you'll see an "unknown SIM" message, but it will work assuming the bands match. You should be able to get LTE with T-Mobile as most of their network uses band 4.
He means region locked, like usa

Anyway to get rid of this message? My g2 I had to root it to get rid of it. I hope I don't have to root the s6 just for that because it gets really anoying just having the icon showing unknown sim the whole time.

Can anyone confirm that will the unlocked Sprint version of HTC U11 work with AT&T or T-Mobile? I chatted with both HTC and Sprint agents but not getting a sure answer. HTC agent said that even it's unlocked it will only work with CDMA carriers. The Sprint agent said it depends on the other carriers to be compatible with the device. Thus has anyone tested and confirmed it will or will not work on AT&T or T-Mobile? Thanks.
If Sprint unlocks it, it has the radios according to HTC's own specs page. There is no band 30 support for at&t on any model and there is no band 66 for T-Mobile on the Sprint model but the main bands are there.
The question is if Sprint will unlock it for domestic usage though. They have an inconsistent track record with that.
Sprints domestic unlock policy
or
unlock it yourself I have confirmed this method works
the US Unlocked & Sprint models have the same hardware, just different ROMs. I have only tested w/ a Verizon sim, but I am confident ATT & TMO will work fine.
if we had s-off, it would be even better, then you could flash the US Unlocked RUU
The hardware is the same on all models so it will work fine once you get it unlocked.

The hardware is not the same across all models. The Sprint model has a CDMA radio and does not support all bands the US unlocked version does but it will work fine on AT&T and T-Mobile.
