Proceed with caution. I will not be responsible if you end up bricking your phone. So, I got this phone some days ago and thought I'd make a helpful guide for people who are using this handset or planning to buy it to use with Reliance CDMA. You will need: 1. DFS (Google it) 2. The APK attached to this post. MSLUtility.apk 3. Reliance/ Other CDMA RUIM 4. HTC Drivers 5. Android Platform Tools for troubleshooting if required. (RECOMMENDED) 6. Some knowledge of the UNIX shell and DFS The steps I explain in this guide will help you have the most painless experience with this device to get it working properly on Reliance CDMA. 1. Get S-OFF using Sunshine. It will cost you $25 but it is very important that you get S-OFF. 2. Unlock the handset using this method. (OPTIONAL but recommended) 3. Flash Custom Recovery and ROOT the device using THIS. Feel free to skip to step 23 because the rest will be taken care of by Sunshine anyway. 4. Download and install MSLUtility.apk 5. Run the above utility and connect to a WIFI network before doing so. 6. Press READ SPC button on the utility and it should give you the SPC for your handset. Please note it down. 7. Open the dialer of the phone and press # # 3 4 2 4 #. Now enable the diagnostic mode on the device and connect it to your computer via USB. 8. Open DFS and send the SPC that you got in step 6. 9. Now get into the programming tab and switch the CONFIG setting to RUIM ONLY. After this click the WRITE button. Now you have successfully enabled the handset to use any OMH RUIM. 10. Exit the diag mode. 11. Pop in your RUIM card into the phone's SIM tray. 12. It should start working off the bat along with data. Notes: 1. All your numbers must be saved as 0xxxxxxxxxx and not +91xxxxxxxxxx, otherwise it will not be able to send texts or make calls. 2. To get delivery reports consider using the Messenger app from Google instead of HTC stock messaging app. 3. To make a conference "MERGE CALL" button won't work. You need to press the three dots, tap "PEOPLE" and swipe to the dialer. Then press 3 and tap CALL. This will establish your 3-way conference. 4. Use a custom ROM instead of the stock SPRINT ROM. I use ViperOneM8 and it works perfectly. 5. Remove /system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and /system/app/HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS, to get rid of the SPRINT Hands Free Activation Nagger. You can do this by mounting /system in TWRP and using the TWRP file manager. Before this step read Further Notes below. Further notes: 1. After flashing a custom ROM, you may need to go into TWRP, mount /system and in the terminal there enter the following commands. This is to enable adb on the device before you get into the first boot. It may be required to get rid of the Hands Free Activation screen: ok mount data cd /data/property echo -ne "adb" > persist.sys.usb.config chmod 600 persist.sys.usb.config chown 0.0 persist.sys.usb.config chcon u:object_r:property_data_file:s0 persist.sys.usb.config This will enable ADB on the device for some further troubleshooting in case you aren't able to get past the Sprint Activation Screen. 2. After this you will need to disconnect the USB and let the phone boot. Then you will need to extract the process list using the command: adb shell ps > pslist.txt 3. Now open the pslist.txt file and search for htcsetupwizard, note the process ID and type this in: adb shell kill -9 <process_id> 4. You will need to repeat steps 2 and three once more and then do step 5 from Notes. Feel free to ask questions in this thread for any help. All credit goes to the developers of Sunshine and Team Venom for helping me out with these steps. They're wonderful people and I urge you to support them.

HiCan you confirm whether the RGE sim is working on 1X only or EVDO is also Working? I have tried the same in RGE sim but only 1X shows in my case. Let me know. I tested in an area where they only had 1x so that worked but I have used this phone with EVDO before on the earlier OS and it worked perfect. Showed up as 3G.I can test it and let you know soon. Will wait to hear from u. Sent from my HTC One M8 3G/ EVDO working but no tether still. Waiting for some genius at Crackberry to figure this out. I tried sideloading an older escreen bar but that doesn't work because the Adobe AIR libs are missing.. I even tried merging the two but that didn't work because you need to re-sign it.. It is very frustrating..

On putting my R-UIM back in, it seems to again want VZW Tether plan or something and doesn't tether. The steps using escreen in 10.3.0.x don't work anymore either. EVDO is working perfect though.

Cool.. Good luck.. It will work for sure.. BTW.. Anyone know if Blackberry Classic (Q20) from Verizon works with R-CDMA?

Working for me boss. But you need an RGE series R-UIM.Sent from my HTC One M8

I have finally tested this. The escreen:// is back on 10.3.2.556 and we can use Reliance CDMA RGE SIM with data even on this BB10 OS.

Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of the process? Sent from my iPad

Yes. That shows up anyway after you insert the RSIM.Sent from my HTC One M8

I tested this using an R-SIM 10 Nano Cloud on an iPhone 6 A1586. Even calling and text didn't work.. It just says "No Service".

Really? Can you show a screenshot for this and tell us the steps to do this?

Anyone? Please help here!Sent from my HTC One M8

U have install any leaked os 10.3?Is cdma working fine in leaked os? Pls tell me. Coz m on 10.2 Phone saying already installed latest os. No update yet to my bb10. 10.3.0.x works perfect. That is what I am using. Don't upgrade to 10.3.1.x though. That doesn't work at all.Can you downgrade from 10.3.1.x to 10.3.0? I'm thinking of ordering one q10 or z10 from US. Will I be able to activate data after downgrading? Since I don't know what OS will be installed on the phoneSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes you can downgrade. Go for it!Sent from my HTC One M8

I have an RGE series RUIM. Can I use a Q20 Classic from Verizon with Reliance CDMA with EVDO data and everything else?

I have an RGE RUIM, will I be able to use Sprint/ Verizon iPhone 6 with data? Any guides I can follow to accomplish this?

Oh yeah, I didn't realise it doesn't do WiFi.. I used it for wired tethering..Sent from my HTC One M8

Try the ClockWorkMod Tether app

I have made a small guide in this subsection: http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37355-howto-get-reliance-cdma-up-and-running-on-htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-from-sprint/

Okay.. So data confirmed working with RGExxxx SIM and Q10 (Verizon), along with EVDO, which got activated on my new SIM card today. We still need to enter the escreen though. Any methods to bypass this? Because then we cannot be on software versions above 10.3.0.x, which don't have the necessary AIR libs to be able to get us to the escreen. Also, even if ALT doesn't show, it still works.

I agree Aakash. I and some friends bought the SIM from you (we even spoke on the phone, if you remember) and I am very happy. I just need to get my EVDO data sorted because that seems to not work after the SIM transfer. As I understand that is a buig from the network itself.

What I wish to understand is why is it that data seems to be working flawlessly in the RGE series sim and not the others.. Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim

REC RUC 06 .....is available at mostly all store.so no new thing if you got in 200 for 50 sim.RGE RUC is special sim .this one is complicated. [emoji4] I agree.. RGE series SIM is really helpful for people who wish to use imported handsets. It works flawlessly in Blackberry 10 devices from Verizon at least.Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim

You're right. The old SIM works with EVDO. I have raised a complaint using Instacare and called the secretariat office. They have given me a maximum TAT of 24 hours.
