Hi guys,
so I have a HTC one M8 verizon but want to use it with another company. Once I put the sim card on I'm able to use wifi and make and recieve phone calls but not to use the internet. It's says there's no connection. I bought it second hand and it supposed to be unlocked.
It has android 5.0.1. so it's not easy to S-off.
Please help

What carrier? Did you change the APN to your carriers? If not, that's your problem.

Yeah already try that. I live in Chile so I have a foreing carrier.
I think it has something to do with being a verizon phone in a different country.
There still no way to root my phone with android 5.0.1 ?

I am a complete noob and this is my first ever post on XDA. I have searched the forums but unable to find it. So here are some of my queries.
I am using at&t one x, sim unlocked and I am using it in Pakistan with Waridtel. Now when I check for updates in at&t software update, it says service unavailable (because I m not using at&t I guess). So does this mean I will not be able to update it unless I put at&t sim in it?
The other query is all the methods which I searched including one click method and manual ones have a step where one has to check for update. But as I cant have it because it says service unavailable, does this mean I will not be able to root unless I put at&t sim in it?
Sorry for being so dumb again but help will be highly appreciated. I have attached couple of scrrenshots of firmware and baseband etc.
Regards,
Remove the sim card and try again using wifi. That worked for someone in Japan. Just remember not to accept the update. There are instructions for how to proceed.

Hello everyone!
I'm writing for help from the experts. I don't know if this had been answered somewhere else but i looked all over the place and i didn't find anything for this phone.
After trying and trying for a few days now, i have not been able to unlock my verizon SGS3 so that i can use it with other sim cards.
I currently have it running on JB 4.1.2 it is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked thanks to the EZ- Unlock technique.
But when i put in a non verizon sim it says "sorry, this SIM is not supported. please....."
Can it be done ?
Thanks in advance
BTW: i've tryed the "galaxsim", and "Sim unlock" by chainfire as well as all the other similar apps i could find on the playstore but they have not worked for me.

Verizon S3 is sim unlocked for GSM, but not sure about the cdma. You can use it with t-mobile, att etc. There is a thread in android development forum about how to setup s3 as global phone. Try that one if you are using gsm.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Hey !
Thank you so much for responding. I am trying to use it on a gsm network but it wont register, that's why i figured maybe its locked somehow. Also because of the message in the top that says non-verizon sim, it says sorry this sim card is not supported etc..
Where can i find the thread you mentioned?
Thanks again.
Go through the below thread to check how to setup the Verizon GS3 as world GS phone :

Ok so i worked on it till very late last night, and was able to do everything in the thread. My phone now shows the network apn in the apn list in the settings and i was able to get rid of the non-verizon sim message that poped up at startup.
But my phone still won't register on any network, I've tried to different sim cards and tried in global settings as well as gsm/utms auto or manual but it wont register onto a network.
What can i do ? Is it locked by Verizon or something ? Should i flash a different rom ?
Thanks for your invaluable help, i really appreciate it!
Have you tried using phoneinfo? Try using the phone info app to select preferred network type by going into device information. Find link below to the app. Try with different network type
http://uppit.com/5eua0rken6jx/myc.phone.PhoneInfo-1.apk
If this doesn't work then try with lte sim card.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

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.

Your last & only solution if you want to use your phone, it's to root your device.
Because it's your radio which is bad. Your baseband is for only USA and not for Greece or World West Europe (WWE)
You need to root your device and change for an European Baseband.
That's why you need to know what exactly your device:
Go to settings => About =>
Phone identity
(you will see model number, and lot of infos that you will need write somewhere for giving on your next post)
Software information
(remember these infos)
and finally click "More"
You will see your baseband and more infos that you need to give also.
Give me your model number and your device serial number, and I'll give you the good way for searching

I've got a bad news for you because you cannot unlock your sim card.
In fact your phone is only use for US cellular (CDMA) not European (GSM)
Uscc is not a gsm phone the sim card slot is used for thw 4g service the phone itself is cdma
If you use "search all forums" just above and type:
Code:
Samsung galaxy s4 sch-r970 unlock
you will find a lot of posts about this subject but with all time same answer: You CANNOT
Sorry for this bad news.
Good luck

Did You unlock GSM on Your phone?
I too have an r970 from USCC. I too went to the corp location to have them courier unlock the phone. I have installed "OctOS" rom specific to this device. I have put a t-mobile sim card in the phone and get intermittent "LTE" but cannot make or receive calls. Is there anyone who has any info on this subject?
i broke my phone last night and my friend lent me his S7 edge to use. im with freedom mobile and its a Verizon version phone. my sim card is in and it reads it no problem i have signal and everything but it wont make or receive calls. or text messages. i have read a few things that says the G935V firmware is incompatable with Candian carriers. can i flash a diff firmware like G935W8 onto this phone to make it work?? or there some other way that i can make it happen? im sry if this sounds like a stupid question to some of you but i just need a phone that works PLEASE

First, you probably need to identify if your network is a CDMA network or a GSM network, the Verizon devices are CDMA. Try finding a S7 Edge firmware for your region/carrier, then try flashing that. Do some research and make sure that there are significant differences between the model number that you actually have and the model number of the firmware that you attempt to use, you might cause a brick if you aren't careful.
