1.) Once you have perm root and flash a custom rom you can use any SIM from any carrier correct?
I had a HTC Inspire from AT&T and running a custom rom put in a Tmobile SIM card and it worked but I had terrible reception.
2.) I also have a HTC Sensation from Tmobile that I just recently rooted and it wouldn't work with my At&t SIM. I understand this is due to the Tmobile rom on the phone and to have the at&t SIM work I'd need a custom rom or unlock the sim right?
I've read some about SuperCID but I understand that is only if you want to run another carriers rom (exp: run a european carriers standard sensation rom on a tmobile sensation) Is this correct?
3.) My main question is that since a phone's radio deals with how it interacts with wifi,gps and the carriers network wouldn't using a tmobile radio with a at&t SIM always give crappy performance and is there anything I can do about this? At&t doesn't have a radio for the sensation. Or am i looking at this all wrong?
Thank you for your help!
AT&T and T-mobile run off of different frequencies. The frequencies the phone uses does not change with the radio. When using a T-mobile phone with an AT&T SIM, you are only going to get edge (2G) speeds, and vice versa.
There is nothing to be done about this? Edge might as well be no data at all :/

Nope, nothing that can be done. There are some pentaband phones out that will get 3G/4G on both...galaxy nexus, and versions of the evo 3d and optimus 3d.

Moving to Q&A
I've been keeping my eye out for used Sensations to replace my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. The big attraction to me is being able to run ICE.
I have a pre-paid plan with T-mobile. I see some Sensations offered that were meant for Canadian or European Carriers but are unlocked.
I know they will work on T-mobile at 3G GSM, but will they make use of T-mobil's "4G" HSPA+ like the T-mobile badged models?
Also, how about ROM's? Will developer ROMs for the T-mobile version work on those?
If you get one and have any issues then you can simply change your CID for TMOUS or supercid and then flash the 1.50.531... RUU.
There are no hardware differences so you'll be fine.
Is it possible to move a Sprint HTC One M8 cell phone to Virgin Mobile in Canada (or any other Canadian carrier for that matter)?
If so, what is the process involved?
Thanks in advance.
Wht can't I use my LTE on NewZealand? Currently using rooted stock rom on HTC M8 Verizon 32GB?
Does any one know if a sprint version U11 will work on verizon ? Yes no CDMA compatible with verizon but as published on line verizon no longer requires a phone to have CDMA as per the unlocked version being able to work on verizon and the verizon version itself having no CDMA support either.
I"am asking because I know someone that can get me a discount on a sprint U11 I just need to know if it will work on verizon.
I tried looking up the gsm bands and all I get is one set I cant find any just specific to the sprint version. I know that even if verizon wont activate it I could just pop in a sim that was activated in a verizon phone previously.
Here is a link to an article that lists verizon no longer requires phones to support CDMA to be activated on their network as they are getting rid of CDMA.
