Is it a verizon Trophy ? AKA the CDMA Verison ?
There is a GSM version that is not a world phone, so if you buy the wrong version it will not work.
Make sure you have the right version...
Would I be able to use it on Verizon's CDMA network? I know that the Verizon Trophy has dual GSM/CDMA capabilities, but is every Trophy like this?
Thanks
Standard trophy is GSM only.
Yes, standard Trophy (codename Spark) does not have CDMA capabilities.
The Verizon Trophy (codename Spark_W) has completely different hardware. You'll want to buy a Verizon Trophy (just make sure it has a clean ESN.
Unlocking is only important if you want to use another carriers simcard in the phone on a GSM network!)
In short: Buy the Verizon branded Trophy to run it on Verizon Wireless, then look in the dev sections for guides on installing HSPL and flashing custom roms.
They're both CDMA, would it work?
I'd like to know how to even unlock the sprint variant...
Hi, I made a mistake and bought a new non US unlocked HTC 10. I tired to hook it up to sprint with no success. My ultimate goal would be to make it work normally on Sprint network.
I have done a lot of searching, and it seems like I can unlock the phone, flash sprint ruu, and flash radios to make it work on sprint?
Can I clone my original sprint HTC 10?
Or am I S.OL.?
I would appreciate any help and guidance with my mission, or if it's even possible to get this phone working.
Thanks!!
Did you ever go through with this? I am interested in upgrading to an HTC 10 as it has the form factor (what is with the trend toward giant phones?) and features that are otherwise unavailable in any of the current crop of unlocked Sprint compatible phones. It seems like the only new HTC 10 models still available are the unlocked version. I understand that this method works for Verizon, but I haven't yet seen confirmation on Sprint.

I bought the Unlocked HTC 10 evo (not the Bolt) to use on T-Mobile.
Reading more and more about it, I am wondering if this phone will connect to T-Mobile's LTE bands (main bands are 4 and 12, and also has 2)?
Does anyone have experience or know if this is possible?
..if not, I'm thinking of returning it before I even open it! :crying:
Searching for anything that might work to get LTE working with this phone on T-Mobile, I found this thread to unlock LTE bands on an HTC 10
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/unlock-lte-bands-t3375736
I also found a YouTube video of someone unlocking the LTE bands on an HTC One M8 with Verizon:

Would any of these work for the HTC 10 evo?
At least anyone know how I find out?
Hi, I bought two of those same phones to try on T-Mobile. They are not reliable on Tmobile's signal at all. mostly giving me a line through the bars. I have also tried them on Walmart's TotalWireless plan, with no success (that's on Verizon). YMMV, however. Really disappointed, as they are great phones, otherwise.
