Supposedly there is only one hardware version of the OnePlus One.
But I know that the Chinese version of the One has trouble on some networks in the US, like no LTE support and very limited T-Mobile support.
My question is, is it possible to flash the baseband of the international version to the Chinese version and pick up those bands? (Specifically the 1700 band is what I'm looking for.)
I know there is a hacked WCDMA band that was posted on the chinese forum, but I don't really care about that one. I'm just wondering if the international baseband has been posted anywhere, and if it will work on the Chinese version.:fingers-crossed:
Bump.
I've heard this as well. I would be more than willing to pay the $389 from oppomart and flash it myself.
You can get 4G LTE on T-Mobile, its listed as 4G and not LTE but you do get LTE.
Edit: nevermind you're talking about the Chinese version.
I have the Chinese OPO on T-Mobile here in the US and I get no 4g just hspa+ but its not bad at all. It would be nice to get an international modem though

Hi all, im very new to XDA & have no knowledge of bandwidths. I just recently bought a HTC Sensation (not sure what model, but it was from a local guy). Had it unlocked so i can use it with my ATT plan. every thing was working fine except i had no data & couldnt send/recieve MMS. When first turned on, there was no APN settings on the phone, so i applied the settings stated in the thread APN settings for unlocked Sensation on ATT by mekajt7 on 09/05/11. Now i have data & MMS is working fine execpt my data is only 2G??
If there's anyone out there with more extensive knowledge regarding this topic, or how to get my phone to pick up 3G?? pleeeeeese leave a reply.
ive spent hours online reading about the bandwidths & ive been getting mixed results.... some said yes, it should work & most said no.
I'm in need of some answers
thanks for reading
the only way an sensation can pick up att 3g signals is if you buy one from canada made for their bell carrier. other then that all you can get is edge. if you want 3g or even better, 4g and be in the usa, you need tmobile
thanks for the reply kpholmes. yea, that's the same thing ive been getting from reading online for 4 hours. do you or anyone else reading know the model number for T-Mo's version vs. Bell's version???
i know it's 710a or 710e. but which is which??

The Z710a is the North American (NAM) version sold by Canadian carriers and it supports the 850/1900/2100 3G bands that AT&T uses.
The Z710e supports the European and T-Mobile 3G bands.

so, T-Mo's is neither of these?? or is it the Z710e??
im just trying to get the model's correctly identified
thanks for the reply
T-mo is the same as european and asian version, it wont work with at&t 3G which is probably what you have. You need to get the canadian sensation from bell or virgin mobile model number z710a. If you look at settings>>about phone>>phone identity, the model number of your phone should be there. If it is z710e, then you are out of luck.
So the Canadian version can use 3G on AT&T? And 4G?

Yes the Canadian version can use AT&T 3G and HSPA+ network.
If i import an unlocked global version will i be able to use 3g on ATT? The reason i ask is that this is the sexiest phone ive seen in a long time.
From something awesome

Based on GSMArena the 3G bands are HSDPA 850/900/2100, so it will work in 850 with AT&T, but there are areas where you'll need 1900 to get 3G and you would only get Edge.
I'm not sure if GSMArena info is accurate but I understand that there should be a HTC One S for T-Mobile and that would require 1700/2100 so there's another coming with different bands or GSMArena is wrong...
There were posts on a number of blogs such as engadget that the t-mobile variant had AWS bands plus 850/1900 for AT&T. That would be great if it did. Wondering if the band specification was determined before the merger fell apart.
Hi all, it's been a while since I was last on XDA.
I recently received a One Plus One in Hong Kong and I am unable to tell if I got the China or the International Version.
I do not receive LTE in uptown Toronto but I do get LTE in downtown. This leads me to suspect this is a China device as it doesn't support band 7 lte.
I am currently using Virgin Mobile (Bell network) and I think Bell uses Band 4 and 7 LTE (Please correct if I am wrong).
Is there anyway I can tweak the phone software wise to enable LTE on the network? it really bothers me sometimes when I can't load a page instantly and instead have to wait for a good 8-10 seconds.
Thank you and happy holidays!
There's one very easy way to tell which version you have, the international version has Cyanogen branding on the back and the Chinese version doesn't.

Unfortunately, mine doesn't have the cm branding on it
Is there a way to enable those lte bands still?

It is IMPOSSIBLE that you get LTE on the Chinese version of the phone, you can't get it in downtown and not in uptown... You have it or you don't

That's really weird, I have the LTE signal in downtown but not uptown!
When I was using the HTC One, I was able to get LTE both down and uptown too!
Bump, thanks.

NOTE: I am on Rogers Wireless.
I get LTE in Markham, Richmond Hill (A lot of H+, little LTE rates compared to downtown), Mississauga (Also a little, but a lot of H+) and Downtown (97% LTE rates)

Flash the latest 44S or 38R modems. Get out of the stock ColorOS modem.

This is false information, they are both the same device. The modem just needs to be flashed out of the stock ColorOS modem.

I understand, I was confused before when I had 25R modem installed, I didn't get LTE much, and I switched between G, H and H+ when I was riding the GO Train.
There's no difference between the China and International models, except the Cyanogen branding. Just need to get out of ColorOS modem.
I can confirm this as I have a Black China Model OnePlus One, and the Limited Edition OnePlus One Bamboo (which is only available in China). I'm from Hong Kong too so I handed over 4 OnePlus Ones to my friends in Toronto, from Hong Kong.
That is very good news to me. I will search a bit regarding that modem.
Thank you!

Good luck man, hope you get better signal!
Just fyi, when I ran ColorOS modem, I got worse signal than CM11 modems, but no modem is the best, you should try a few from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
You can see a chart to see the difference between the modem versions, as they all report the same values in About Phone.
Is the the HTC A9 on Amazon the normal one or is it some kind of International version that is different? Seen here....
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-A9-5-0-In...ie=UTF8&qid=1455904718&sr=1-5&keywords=htc+a9
Will this work on T-Mobile here and get the full LTE like Band 12.
Thanks

That listing is for the international version. Here a copy paste from the features:
Nano SIM; Works with GSM carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile etc. 4G in N/A in North America
Aside from the typo, this clearly indicates it isn't compatible with US LTE. You'll still get 3G and HSPA, but that's probably it.
hi wonder if the european version of this phone will work good in us?
when looking on network specs on the uk and us page it seems they support same bands and so but the us version is a single sim and the uk one is a dual sim hope somone can give a good answer thanks in advance.
here is the links to the us and uk sites.

the u12+ is fully unlocked and supports all bands afaik, doesn't matter if dual or single sim. unlocked even supports the carriers and you get the same phone, just different software version. but should work fine
ok are u sure about that ? .Was talking with htc on their chat. but they didn't to make any promises if it will work in us or not. From what i have understood the uk (european) version and the us one has same network capabilities. So in theory the europé version should work on same network as the us one or do i misunderstand ?

If the bands are complete the same, since it's unlocked anyways and both variants share the same bands for GSM/WCDMA etc, it should be fine. You can always buy the phone and test it and otherwise send it back
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs
So since I am in the US and have a US u12+, if I RUU using the Exodus firmware, I should be safe, correct?
I go back and forth between Europe and the US, the U11 works there, the U12+ has more bands available. You won't get band 71, unless someone works out an activation hack and somehow the hardware can still use it, even if not the specific band 71 hardware.
You'll get 4G on ATT, you'll get band 12 4G on T-Mobile. If the carriers lock anything out on non-native devices, I don't know. Also the local municipalities may not have certain bands available, either. Too many variables.
A lot of the confusion comes from Samsung and other companies that uselessly institute the same practices as them- they cripple their phones so they can't be used properly on another continent. I would buy an S10, but will be stuck with Exynos and bands not fully compatible with the US, while the US gets Snapdragon, bands specific for North America, but due to the Snapdragon, has a better chance of having the missing Europe frequencies activated.
The idiots pretty much locked out the frequencies for the other continent that would give one 4G, leaving most all others the same.
