Verizon M8 LTE Bands - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Hi guys.
The Verizon m8 supports these LTE bands : Verizon: 700/AWS/1800/2600 MHz (taken from the official HTC web site),
but it seems like 1800/2600 are software locked and can't be used.
I had the same issue with the AT&T version of the M8, but installing a rom would fix this issue.
Unfortunately, installing a rom on the Verizon m8 does not help and these bands are still locked.
bootloader unlocked and soff.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi, M9guy
I have same issue with you, I am in China Now, they lock 1800MHz. I tried to find solution, but failured, android version for Verizon M8 can use QPST unlock Verizon Band limitation, but M8 for windows not support by QPST. Certainly, I am not expert, so don't know whether exactly support. After check XDA, found have some guys use QPST flash custom image for Lumia 1520, I don't know whether M8 for windows can use QPST.
If can use QPST, we can try to change Band data that should same as android version.
Thanks

I was wondering if you had any luck getting this on a gsm network..I know cricket is CDMA but I have read a few different websites listing the specs for this phone and some say it is GSM capable while others say it is not. Currently I am messing with it to see if I can get it on AT&T. Is this even possible. Thanks in advance.

***Here's my story trying to get GSM sim card to work on E8.***
Before I bricked my E8, I was able to get it UNLOCK (S-OFF) via SunShine(Theroot.ninja, cost you $25). I confirmed that with Sprint's original rom, you won't be able to use any GSM sim cards WHATSOEVER. (I've tried AT&T's & T-mobile) However, *I think* the correct procedure should be: 1.) get it S-OFF, 2.) change cid by fastboot oem writecid & 3.) wipe or install new rom in order to get GSM sim card recognized. Hopefully this info helps.
**BTW, can any one spare some time and do a TWRP backup for me to recover my messed-up E8? I would be very appreciated.

That's not acurate.
I have a Sprint HTC One E8 with lollipop (5.0.2) and it was sucessfully unlocked. I am using it right now.
You must try sunshine and buy a license. ATT an T-mobile sims will not work.

Hi everyone. I'm in a similar situation. I live in Italy (sorry for my english, guys ) and I bought a branded Sprint HTC One E8 too from USA (single sim and made in Taiwan version). It arrived here supposedly unlocked (my UMTS sim works fine) and with Android Kitkat 4.4.2 installed on.
My intention is to upgrade it to Lollipop but I'm wondering if it is possible, because:
1. If I flash the Spring rom, what happens? Should the phone remains unlocked or it will be re-locked to Spring? And how will I be able to unlock it again?
2. If I change CID and install a stock rom (asian or european ones), I don't know if my sim card will work properly, because the Asian and European Rom are Gsm rom while the Spring rom is WCDMA rom( very similar to UMTS), as reported in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
Very confused I need your support, thanks in advance :good:

Do you know if the previous owner had the phone unlocked by sprint? You should flash a custom recovery , do a backup and the try tu update to 5.0. If you lose GSM capabilities you can go back to 4.4
Do not flash any Asian or European roms, most of them are dual sI'm and sprint is single
So does anyone know a method to remain unlocked
My E8 is working fine on 4.4.2 with sprint badboy unlock but will it stay that way if i update to latest by OTA.

Unlock is permanent even if you take OTA. If you don't want to take a risk just do a backup of your current version and take the OTA, if you lose your unlock go back to your previous version.
Still not sure about it
Someone on other thread said that if u update u loose unlock and than u can't go back.
So has anyone tried.

How to enable LTE for Verizon M8 in india

Hi friends,
I recently purchased a VZW HTC one m8 from US and returned to India , now as per the specs I can see it's LTE
capable but what I wanted to clarify is it possible to use LTE in India and how can it be done?
Do I need to flash the RUU for Asia to enable the LTE bands or is it possible to enable without flashing any RUU itself,I am stock 4.4.4 rooted , s-off and unlocked.
Thanks for any suggestions !

I have selected all LTE bands however, still not getting 4G signals, I am on Fluent Rom V6.1
However, when I was on "DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_SF_6.0_RUU" i was able to get 4G by following your post.

Try reseting through stock recovery, maybe your nv partition has corrupted. Genrally happens when you flash ROMs. After reseting check if 4g works.

Anyone know how to GSM Unlockl the 'Trackfone/Straighttalk SM-S906L version of this?

Hello,
does anyone know the easiest way to GSM unlock the Trackfone/Straighttalk version of this Verizon S6?
This version is called the SM-S906L . Apparently it is identical to the Verizon version except running a different rom for CDMA.
Could I just root it, install TWRP and install a Verizon rom on it.........so it would be GSM unlocked?
Thanks for any info.
