Hi,
I have a HTC One SV bought in Sweden, so it has 4G LTE Frequencies of 800/1800/2600
But unfortunately T-Mobiles 4G frequencies on the East Coast(at least) is 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz.
GSM and 3G works for me fine though.
Is there any way for me to flash my modem / radio / baseband to these frequencies?
I see Boost Mobile also uses 4G frequencies of 700mhz/1700mhz/2100mhz. So I was thinking if possible to flash my HTC One SV to the Boost Mobile RUU and it will change the frequencies accordingly.
Or am I totally wrong about how the technology works and its not possible to this?
As far as I know, device uses special radio hardware for every radio band. It would mean, that One SV has HW capability for all these frequencies, some of them being disabled on software level, which I doubt.
So nope, you wil not be able to connect to your LTE network.
And there is no way to hack it? Like similar to a CPU frequency clock or flashing a GPU to a different model(not common but seen it before)?
What would happen/change if I were to flash my HTC One Sv with the Boost Mobile RUU thats out here, what would change and will it only accept Boost Mobile Simcard afterwards?
You couldn't Flash a ruu of boost. Because you have an other model. If you test it, you can brick your device. Think that you don't can do anything to change this.
Wait, you can buy an HTC one sv boost mobile
If I wrote wrong things you can correct me...

If i were to flash my inspire 4g with CM7 rom and say flash the inspire 4g with a radio and ril from dhd,would that mean i am able to use the inspire 4g with the 3g frequency being used in europe and the rest of asia?
I understand that the 3g frequency used by at&t(850/1900) is different from the rest of the world,say singapore or france(2100) of course by flashing a dhd radio,i lose 4g connectivity but thats fine by me since i like experimenting.
i understand also that most htc phones are quad band and i4g's hardware is not that much different than dhd.
Is what i suggesting possible?or this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue.
The frequencies depends on the hardware

I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G (uses the 1700/2100 frequency) and was wondering if I could flash a Bell Mobility ROM or any other carrier that uses the 900/2100 frequency ROM onto it. Would there be any possible issues due to this?
I believe you need to root the phone first. There's a how to in the Sensation for noobs..I think you'll brick it if you don't.
hello there
i`m from IL and i want to know if i can change the GSM bands to my location
as i saw a few post on that but iwm dont understan that
thank all
I think the gsm bands are for the network provider (tmo, att, verizon) you cant change hardware.
I assume you mean the data network bands not voice or 2G.
There are 2 physically different phones z710e (most of the world & TMobile US) & z710a (US AT&T). Look at the following and put in your country to check carrier compatibility.

The second post was for a completely different phone.
The first post (I had a quick scan and will look in more detail if I have time) didn't seem to address the issue you have.
As far as I know (happy for someone to shout me down) the HTC Sensation is NOT capable of universal frequencies, it is EITHER:
Z710a (2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 ----- 3G HSDPA 850/1900) (US AT&T)
Z710e (2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 ----- 3G HSDPA 900/1700/2100) (US T-Mobile)
That's fixed in the hardware of the phone and can't be changed. As you can see GSM is the same BUT the data side of things is where it gets different, you will always get EDGE as it's 2G.
The Baseband mentioned is flashed as part of the firmware.
The RIL (Radio Interface Layer) is the bit between the ROM and the radio. That will almost universally come with the ROM and will have a pre-requisite radio version that you have to flash separately.
Now if there is a way to change the 3G frequencies I'm sure there are many folks that would like to know how, it'd make the Sensation more universally available and hopefully cheaper in the 2nd hand market.
You haven't mentioned what your exact issue is, what are you trying to change and why ?
you answer me thank u and have a nice day

I was on the phone with HTC last night and according to the tech there the UMTS bands can be changed on the T-Mobile Sensation 4G, but this would require a custom rom. I am not sure if there are any roms out there that do this already.
How does the Vodafone Germany HTC One XL differ from other carrier / location specific variants of the Qualcomm based phones like the Australian Telstra One XL or the Northern American AT&T HTC One X ?
Some specs from the website:
Code:
Qualcomm MSM 8960 Dual-Core 1,5 GHz
Internal storage 32GB
130g
LTE (Frequencies not specified)
If this has been answered previously I'm sorry and would like to ask a moderator to close the thread. It would be nice to create a table comparing all available variants.
Ok I just compared the Qualcomm One X Linux Kernel sources from htc developers evita-ics-crc-3.0.8-271616b.zip (AT&T USA) and evita-ics-crc-3.0.8-a6dad.zip (Vodafone
Germany).
29 files differ, the majority is non platform specific networking stuff. The platform specific changes are of cosmetic nature and I doubt they are a result of different board revisions, indicative for a match of AT&T USA One X and Vodafone Germany One XL hardware.
It looks you have 32Gb internal storage like international one and Dual-Core 1.5 GHz MSM8960 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor like xl variant. 32GB is big plus!!

does that mean i could flash a AT&T One X with a german One XL stock rom? and the LTE band/frequencies would be changed too? ie. utilizing 4G/LTE network in Germany? sorry, my questions maybe silly, i am noob.

You can flash the rom and everything will work, but you still won't get LTE in Germany. The radio frequencies are set in hardware, and they aren't the same as the North American HOX variant. Everything else should work though, and you'll still get HSPA+ / DC-HSPA+ depending on your carrier.
I have an One XL from Vodafone Germany, too. At the moment I am using King Cobra 1.5 ROM and everything is working fine on T-Mobile Germany network. Can't tell if LTE is working coz i don't have the high speed internet option in my contract but edge, 3g and hsdpa/hsupa is working without any problem.

What do you mean the radio frequencies are set in hardware (like radio rom?) and how do you know?
Does anybody know how to check which LTE frequencies are available on a device?

I am not 100% sure how much anyone has actually tested, I think most is based on assumptions.
There is many LTE bands and most just expect the amps in the One XL wont suit all frequencies.
Likely type A: 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz
This would suit Europe, Australia and Asia.
Likely type B: 700, 800, 1700, 1900 MHz
This would suit North America.
Hi
What is the difference between the original htc one x and htc with at / t
can I flash rom form oryginal htc one x to phone from at/t?
I ask because I can buy a phone from this network from US,unlocekd, but seller says that I have to
adjust MPN settings and then phone will work on another network on 3/4g.
Can I only flash with stock rom form not branded htc one x?
Thanks
First off, what is called the "One X" in most places is the quad core Tegra3 variant (code named ENDEAVORU). The AT&T is the dual core Snapdragon S4 variant with LTE (code named EVITA). Its really a completely different device internally. Flashing a ROM for the ENDEAVORU will not work on an EVITA, and may also brick the device.
You can flash any EVITA ROM on the AT&T version.
As far as network frequency support, you need to be more specific as to your location, carrier, and (if you know) the frequencies you are looking for. The AT&T version of the One X is compatible with 3G (HSPA) bands 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz. If the phone is unlocked, it should work on your home network, if your carrier uses one of these bands (you may also need to obtain your carrier's APN information, and manually enter it into the phone for 3G to work). If you carrier does NOT use one of these bands, the device won't work on 3G.
The AT&T One X works with LTE Band 17. I don't believe this is commonly used on other countries, so I would not expect LTE to work (but might, if your network uses LTE Band 17).

Thanks, it will not work on my network.
Thanks again
