I've been getting the authentication error for about two weeks. I've called into sprint, they've had me pull battery, update profile,update prl, reprovision, reset, data reset etc....

Still get the can't authenticate error whenever I go on verizon roaming. My sprint 3g works fine but anytime I lose sprint service and roam, can't make phone calls!!!

any advice?
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Take the phone to sprint and tell them to replace it. You shouldnt have to put up with that.
[HTC EVO 3D] dave01978:
Yes,

Make call get error, then wait it will repeat message a couple of times, and will transfer you to someone that can actually fix this, it took me 3 days to realize it was posted here somewhere, and i tried it and worked great.

I think i spent about 4 mins on the phone, make sure to have another number for them to call you back at though.
[HTC EVO 3D] MarkGbe:
worked as advertised. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Crap! anyway to return to stock with S-on on the update hboot 1.5 and firmware 2.08.651.1?........I am shipping this phone to sprint and getting the Samsung epic 4g touch that's coming out on sept16th. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] empiire:
I think trying this bricked my phone. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Good luck. I soft bricked mine and thats how realized that this was the best way to get back. Im sure its applicable to the new RUU as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] bluerjb:
Just letting you guys know that i ran this with the latest Sprint bootloader 1.50 and it still worked.. just putting it out there.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Good to know!!!

Thanks! But yeah it bricked my phone, I'm headed to Radio Shack tomorrow to hopefully get it sent in for repairs. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Scott:
Sorry to hear that!
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
So is this safe? I would rather not brick my evo 3d....

Thanks for the help
[HTC EVO 3D] M5Rahul:
I need to do this.. right now lol..

So.. basically..

Download the stock RUU

Boot into Bootloader and flash PC86IMG.zip

The next step is what's not clear to me.. yet..

How do I switch from S-Off to S-On :confused:

I see SCROSLER has attached the S-ON files.. are those flashable thru recovery ?
[HTC EVO 3D] splat matt:
Re-read step 7. If you do not understand what fastboot mode then do a search.

Unroot but remain s-off, safe?

Question, sold my 3vo to a buddy who lives out of town, is not a techy type guy, and adb are just letters in the alphabet to him. He wants to go back to stock, can i talk him thru the PCIMG part and leave the bootloader s-off'd for him? He doesnt need to return the device and ill s-on for him next time he's in town. Is it safe to unroot and stay with s-off? Will he still have 4G and the such?

I tried the one mentioned above, but the system installation failed. It still installed the stock recovery though, so I had to reflash TWRP just to restore the phone and get it working again. I'm reluctant to try again. Did I do something wrong?

Will this work on ENG HBoot 1.04.2000 (PG1860000) with S-OFF RL?

I need to unroot my son's phone because of a faulty digitizer.

This is what is says on bootloader screen:

SHOOTER XC ENG S-OFF RL

RADIO-0.97.00.0518

eMMC-boot

Apr 16 2011, 19:34:31

There is a second thread that says NOT to use on a rooted phone with ENG HBOOT.

Will this method work?

Can anybody point me in the right direction if not?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Run the 2.08.651.5 RUU and you should be good to go, it'll say locked but still be S-OFF. You should be able to take it in like that and hopefully they'll be able to fix the phone without having to replace it
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Date of August 11th on that one? That doesn't seem right considering the kernel for it wasn't built until mid to late december.

I also strongly recommend against turning S-ON. With the new hboot it should still show it as locked so they're probably not going to pay attention to it, plus if your phone has any modified software/firmware on it odds are you will brick it by setting the secure flag.
[HTC EVO 3D] aagbulos:
Thanks Haus! I do have insurance on the phone so I'm hoping that would be it.

I'm trying to look, but can only find the 2.08.651.2 RUU...will this suffice?

But...what if the odd chance they notice it's S-OFF, is there any additional step I should take to get it back to S-ON?

Sorry for asking...I am not very familiar with unrooting :(

Appreciate your help! :)

oh and FYI - his phone is an original launch EVO3D...so I think it originally came with the 1.30 HBOOT? (correct me if I'm wrong)
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
I'm uploading a mirror for the 2.08.651.3 PG86IMG for ya but it still has a little ways to go.

If they say anything about S-OFF or ask if you were rooted just tell them that the phone is completely stock and you tried running the restore utility to see if it would fix it. Last I heard their policy was to not sweat people rooting, but that they needed to bring it in with the stock ROM before they could work on it. No need to lie to them about the RUU but anything you've flashed before hand is moot and not really necessary for them to know about.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
http://dev-host.org/kusgqszdifaw/PG86IMG_2.08.651.3.zip

Here you go, this one should get you back to stock. Make sure you create a full nandroid before flashing it though. System, Boot, Data and .android.

edit: and of course pull your sd card before taking it in ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] aagbulos:
Thanks! Can't wait to try this out when I get home tonight! I'll keep you posted.
[HTC EVO 3D] aagbulos:
UPDATE!

So I successfully installed that RUU and went to Sprint today. They confirmed that the digitizer needed repair without any sort of reference to being rooted so now they're going to call me when the parts are in.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
All, unfortunately for my friend, his digitizer has gone on the fritz and needs replaced.

He is currently on HBOOT 1.4 revolutionary S-OFF. Looking over the previous posts, it looks like i need to run the 2.08 RUU and leave S-OFF correct? This will replace the HBOOT, but as long as I leave it at S-OFF, i should be able to downgrade HBOOTs etc (after sprint replaces the digitizer)?

Thanks for all the help.
[HTC EVO 3D] vin255764:
shipped 2.08=hboot 1.50 (do not flast it)

shipped 1.13=hboot 1.40

1.13 you can switch s-off/on root/unroot with revolutionary every day

I've done it twice.Used windows machine and ran RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_1.13.651.7_Radio_0.97.10.0530_NV_NV_SPCS_1.16_release_198109_signed.exe

Those who updated from 1.40 to 1.50 just to get s-on,Jesus,do not post it,its stupidest idea I ever seen

s-on can be done even if its loaded with any custom ROM.That would be different story

1.40 is priceless.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Thank you for the reply Vin. I will run the 1.13 RUU and return recovery and ROM back to stock unrooted with h-boot 1.4 s-off. I hope when my friend goes in there, the sprint employee will not try to update the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] vin255764:
They dont check if its on or off.

Im working on getting s-on wothout upgrade to 1.50.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Thank you. My main concern is since I've applied all the latest updates to his phone, returning back to old versions will be OK? I wouldn't want to brick it because it is not mine :eek:

I just mainly need to get it back to stock 1.4 HBOOT and leave S-OFF. Then hope like heck sprint doesn't try to update it after replacing digitizer lol
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Upgrading to 1.50 does not change you to s-on if you were already s-off. You just get **locked** at the top of bootloader mode, but you can still flash anything since you're s-off still. You can also use HTC's method to change it to **unlocked** and s-off. You can downgrade HBOOT's as well since you're s-off. I've done all of these things. I've flashed the 2.08.651.3 RUU a few times before, but haven't tried the newer 2.17.651.5 (though it doesn't have a new HBOOT and probably doesn't change s-off to s-on).
[HTC EVO 3D] vin255764:
Ok,I take my words back,the hex method I used on og EVO didn't worked
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Thank you for the response mwalt2. This is the situation I'm in:

HBOOT 1.4 S-OFF and on a 2.08 ROM now. Should I just run the 2.08 RUU and let it updated everything including HBOOT 1.5? I just need to be stock for when when my friend takes it to sprint so they can replace the digitizer. So basically the HBOOT 1.5 doesn't matter as long as it was S-OFF before taking the update? Appreciate all the help.

I have used this zip to return my evo 3d to stock. There were 3 or 4 OTAs after this RUU. The phone is having SMS issues. I get error code 97 class 3 frequently while trying to send SMS messages. Sometimes messages come through, sometimes not. The won't go out, though.

Sprint has reprovisioned my phone twice. I have factory reset it a number of times. The error will go away and then come RIGHT back again. Sometimes it will send or receive the same message 3 times in a row.

Any suggestions?

Worked for Me

Thanks scrosler! These instructions worked perfectly when I had to go back to stock/unrooted in order to get Sprint to replace the digitizer on my Evo 3D.

I was using CWM recovery, with HBOOT 1.4 (rooted w/ Revolutionary) and coming from the latest Sprint stock rooted ROM at the time of this writing.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you are currently S-ON, you can try doing only Step1 from my guide. If you have done the htcdev unlock your bootloader will say "relocked" instead of "locked" but the only way to change that is to do the wire trick and then go back and flash the RUU and set S-ON.

Give this thread a look, I went through the same problem the last 3-4 days:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37632662&postcount=8

Do you have access to bootloader and recovery? Also, what type of root and recovery do you have on your bootloader. In the thread I mentioned in the original post (OP) you can see if you are in the same place I was, if you are a match then read this statement carefully and follow the directions ramjet offered me:

best of luck, it took me 4 times before i really understood the directions and advice, meaning:

1. boot to bootloader,

2. go to recovery,

3. format all partitions except sd card,

4. flash ROM choice,

5. exit recovery and

6. reboot to bootloader,

7. then choose reboot from the bootloader menu space.

if you reboot from a recovery, then you get stuck in bootloop.

good luck, ramjet or others please feel free to correct me if I am not clear.

This might sound like a ridiculous question, but can I simply run the ICS RUU-image instead of the older 1.13.651.7? I'm S-Off hboot 1.04, running CM 10.1 and having no ends of problems with the digitizer...was hoping to simply run the ICS RUU from bootloader then set S-On.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblakev:
I had my phone stock 4.5.91 and ran mramirezusa's program to unlock/root/install cwm to my phone. After I did it I ended up with a factory reset, and I then restored my phone through a backup with Titanium Backup. After this I got the weird problem. I guess I must have restores my lock screen password and finger print data with Ti. However, now when I unlock my screen I am greeted with the "enter PIN to unlock screen" but there is no password for it. All I have to do is hit enter and I get through. So I tried to factory reset the phone, but when I do it under the privacy menu it asks me to swipe my finger real quick and then it exits the screen so I am not able to! :( Weird! Anyway what else are my options? On top of this my vibrate does not work anymore. Thanks in advance guys!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshyy_rey:
Did you just restore app+ data or did you did system data too. Cause that's a nono lol

And id try fastbooting or sbf to a fresh build
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblakev:
crap..

Hmmm I guess I did restore all system data... I did not know you werent supposed to do that. So in the future only restore the apps with data? And also if I flash straight to the alien build will that be ok?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshyy_rey:
Yeah if your making drastic changes like unlocking the bootloader I wouldn't restore system data because things have changed. And it'll mess up. Its best to stick to just using titanium to back up apps and remove bloat. And you can try ti go to alien. I don't see a problem. But don't hold me to that lol anything can happen
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innodroid:
what version were you restoring from?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
Here's the solution same thing happened to me way back when also when you back up using TiBu make sure to not have the finger print or security selected restoring that data messes it up.

1. Get the program SQlite editor & root explorer.

2. Using root explorer goto directory: /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

3. select settings

4. scroll down to lock_type; lock_fingerprint; lock_timer

5. Long press on each and delete.

6. Reboot phone and you're good to go

From unlocked/rooted GB Atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mramirezusa:
When you restore a backup never restore system data

And always be carefully with app+data best way app only

But any way I think best way to restore as follow (note this is service sbf and, so supposed to preserve data but always be aware to have a backup)

Download the following file:

http://www.filesonic.com/file/150732...PE_P011.sbf.gz

and unzip it at the same location you unzip my menu script, you will ended with a file with .sbf extension like this:

1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

So now do this:

1. TURN OFF your phone

2. PRESS VOL UP while you turn on

3. Hold until it said RSD....... , so now you are in RSD mode -> connect the phone to the pc

4. Then go to the folder with the menu script and run the following file: "SDL.exe"

5. It will show up the RSDlite moto screen

6. Under filename press "..." and select the file you just download & unzipped:

1FF-olympus-user-2.3.4-4.5.91-110625-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P011.sbf

7. Check if in file description said 2.3.4.....

8. Press start (Remember you must have a phone with charge 80% and if you are doing this in a laptop please connect it to AC)

9. Wait until reboot... and said status PASS in the RSDlite (take a while)

10. Then you can re run menu script options 1 from the first menu 3 on the second menu.

11. And re apply root option from the menu

Remember: once you are GB 2.3.4/4.5.91 YOU CAN NOT RSD ANY DOWNGRADE SBF FROM MOTO FOR EXAMPLE 1.83/1.47

BUT you can still downgrade by CWM or moto-fastboot commands

I hope it help

Dear all,

I recently bought an LGP500 and im lovin it..!!!! Came across this forum and found that there are heaps of developments thats taking place in this platform! Really wanna thank each and everyone for their time and effort in trying to improvise on the OS.

I came across [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][stable:6.5.5,testing:6.6] CyanogenMod 7.1-RC1 (Android 2.3.4) and i really want to install it (or in that case, and good GB OS) over my froyo. I have been through a lot of threads on flashing and rooting, but im still very unclear about the whole process. Im not a computer geek, and all these jargon kinda make me feel like a bozo :(.

As a last resort, im trying out this thread. Would really appreciate if someone could spare some time and provide a simple walkthrough from - (a) backing up the original OS, (b) on through flashing and rooting, (c) to installing this custom ROM and (d) finally restoring it if needed for warranty purposes. Im pretty sure there are a lot of people like me who has difficulty in understanding all these processes and missing out some great developments.

I hope everyone understands this and wont consider this as one of those spam/duplicate threads, where the same Qs are repeated again and again...!

Thanks a lot for any support :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yes, the same Q's are repeated yet again. But I'm in a good mood today and I'll try not to give you much flak for it.

1. Root your phone, use z4root if android v2.2, use gingerbreak (both are apps) if on v2.2.1/2.2.2.

2. Install a custom recovery, of two kinds: AmonRa or ClockworkMod. Search for these threads.

3. Boot into recovery mode for backing up your current rom and installing a new one.

I hope this is a good summary. Before asking any further questions, check out the FAQ link in my signature.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Also read some stickies to enhance your knowledge. The_error has made a very good introduction thread on technical stuff.

In android, for using custom roms, first thing is to root. Then one has to install a recovery. Then make a nandroid backup from recovery. Then wipe everything from recovery and then flash your desired rom.

I suggest you do this:

1. Instal z4root app from market and Root your phone via it.

2. Install rom manager from market.

3. Install clockwork mod recovery via it.

Now you can go to recovery via rom manager or swith off and press and hold for about 15-30 seconds home+volume down+ power button.

Once you are in recovery, you are free to fly.

Otherwise if I should be going the ADB route, pointers to a thread that has working drivers for the O V linked would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
