Is it even possible to use my T-Mobile sim card with a verizon android phone?
I got S-OFF, rooted it, flashed a new stock android ROM, and still the little fucker won't work. It gives me a cell signal but no data. I think I have tried every single documented method for converting this thing and none of them have worked.
Can you guys offer me any advice before I just give in and buy a new phone?

Did you use lucky patcher?
Did you set the APN
CDMA=/=GSM
No
I've been messing with that all day. No clear instructions as to how I'm supposed to change it though
Phones especially newer ones tend to work on both if it has the hardware.
This. Verizon uses CDMA, Tmobil uses GSM.
I read that the M8 was compatible with GSM though? If it wasn't how would I be able to use cell service but not get data
Cellular wise yes, but not data.
Just Google the correct APN and set it in the settings. It's an easy fix and it sounds like that's where the trouble is coming from. That T-Mobile phone has the correct bands and frequencies to work on Verizon's network.
What's strange though is that the 4G icon appears in my overhead, but just grayed out - the settings tell me mobile data is "disconnected"
Does that mean you're right?
You will be able to make calls, but you won't be able to use Tmobils towers for data.
And there's no fix for this?
no. sorry.
Wow. Thanks for telling me before I spent any more time on it
There's no fix because there's no fix needed. The phone can work with Verizon data, texting, and calling. It has the hardware just set the correct APN.
>no
Then how did you even get s-off?
I used sunshine
Are you telling me the phone can work with T mobile data somehow? Please dont get my hopes up user, I want off this ride
That's IF the phone has the correct hardware. I would be very surprised if it did.
no. it can't. that other fag is baiting you.

LTE band 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 7(2600), 13(700) - Verizon
All the bands and frequencies the phone supports.
LTE Frequencies:
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
Lower 700 MHz band 12 (in development) / in service in selected areas
3G/4G Frequencies (WCDMA):
1700 MHz & 2100 MHz AWS band 4
1900 MHz PCS band 2 (in refarmed areas)
2G Frequencies (GSM/GPRS/EDGE):
1900 MHz PCS band 2
God damn it guys
So can I or can't I use it
The phone has full LTE access through band 4 frequency 1700/1900
100% can work fully on T-Mobile's network.
bullshit
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction to do this?
so does the fucking 1+2 but it cont work on Verizon.
won't*
>Bullshit
The facts are there sweet heart.
I told you what to do just keep trying APNs until they work that's your problem.
If it has the hardware it CAN but if it doesn't it CAN'T.
OP's phone on the other hand can without a fathom of a doubt.
Can you guys explain this video then ? I'm not trying to argue, just genuinely confused
youtube.com
I have to go OP just keep fucking with the APNs that phone can and will work.
Why don't you unlock the phone?
Okay, thanks I'll try
I did.
It has BOTH hardware in it.GSM and CDMA.
Just Google "How to add a T-Mobile APN on a Verizon HTC M8." Keep trying those guides until you find an APN that gives you access to LTE. After every time you add an APN restart the phone.
Exactly
Good luck OP, god speed.
Appreciate it
So that means I CAN use t mobile data?
I don't know. I was talking about the phone in the video. Of that's the same phone you have and are trying to fix and it still doesn't work... I dont know. Have you tried praying about it?
Yep, exact same phone... I think I'm gonna go sacrifice my neighbors cat or something. thanks guys
TMO Bro Reportan.
Short answer: Yes
LTE wise, nah. Verizon uses Band 4, a band TMO doesn't use. You'll get some HSPA+ though, so 3.5G
Pretty much go to Settings -> More Settings under Wireless Connections -> Mobile Settings -> Switch your connection type from CDMA to Global.
Then on that screen click on APN and type in:
Name: Whatever you want it to be
APN: fast.t-mobile.com (if that doesn't work, use epc.tmobile.com no hyphen on T-Mobile).
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: internet,mms,supl,default
Save and reboot the phone, and it should be good to go.
Trying it right now, thanks for all the details I appreciate it a lot.
Do you know if I need to change my SUPERCID to anything for this method to work?
Meanwhile in Europe...
> Install new SIM
> Android automatically sets up network settings
> Phone is ready for use
Here are my working Tmo APN settings. Hopefully they work for you.
1/2
2/2
Tried it, doesn't work... If you're still around would you mind telling me your preferred network setting ?
No.
Even if it technically can work on our network. 95% of the time it will fail to activate. I don't know exactly why but dealing with 100+ prepaid accounts I can tell you. It will most likely not work.
The prepaid phones get about 40% off while being junk tier phones. Better then nothing and on par with unlockfag tier phones to begin with.
