[HTC Rezound] JayXL14:
Hey guys I was thinking about picking up an HTC Rezound for my father.. for Father's Day (yeah I know I'm a little bit late but he's cool with it).

I found a bad ESN one, could it still be used on AT&T?

He doesn't have texting or data, and simply wants to make/receive calls, and of course WiFi.

Will it work even with a bad ESN or do we need the SIM unlock code (it was necessary for the Droid 2 Global AT&T band unlock)?

Can anyone point me to a guide?

(I've been reading this thread all day and just have been having trouble finding the specific answer. If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!)
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
im about 95% sure you could use iit. since it is blocked on vzw, not att. thats all my help...
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Yup it will work on att, text data calls EVERYTHING. Though you'll only get EDGE which according to you won't matter to your father anyway ;) All you gotta do is flash a gsm rom or a gsm patch for the sense4 roms we've here. No unlock code is required, Rezounds come unlocked out of the box.
[HTC Rezound] EclipseX:
Thats not true, in some builds the mms ano data dont work with this patch. You have a rom made for gsm only from Siul. The maiesters roms don't need this path
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
The hell you're talking about man? Att is confirmed to have both data and mms working on the Rezound, which is the provider he was asking about.

Besides you should get data with the patch as you've the right APN set. You baffle me sometimes.
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
Hmm no credits to the one that gave the fix to joelz?
[HTC Rezound] exynos5250x:
It wasnt joelz who fixed GSM SMS for the rezound, you all need to get ur facts straight, he had no idea how to fix it, until siulmagic came along the picture, he knew siulmagic had MIUI ported to the rezound and it had SMS working for GSM users, so he asked him how he did it, so siulmagic went ahead and gave him the GSM SMS fix, and then joelz came here and posted it as his own, which he knows it utter rubbish, thank siulmagic for the fix not joelz.....
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
i didnt post it as my own i gave credit to siul and raffy really not my fault if people dont know how to read or look for posts..and he didnt give me the fix he told me where it was...theres more to it then just telling me what jar its in....but whatever not going to argue dont really have the time for it
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Guys, come on. Do we really want more fighting? Look where it brought us. We've lost numerous devs because of stupidity and misunderstandings. Do we really want to add more to that number? Sure maybe credit wasn't given where it should have but this isn't joelz thread so he had no control. Maybe we can get the OP to change the title and credits? I mean we don't need a flame war. You guys are both great devs and it would be a shame if either of you left! :)
[HTC Rezound] EclipseX:
Abu, if I didnt try I dont tell here. In some builds mms and data dont work at all. The pokemon work but have too many bugs. The siuls builds all work. The others dont
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
Joel there's nothing more to it, just the framework jars, from ether ville,villec2, or any gsm based sense4 rom, this will make gsm work perfectly, your just trying to make it look complicated but its not, we just needed the right framework from the right ruu, there was no smali edits needed ever. this is how newt probably did it, using the inc 4g leak that he kept to himself.

Im not looking for donation or fame, i just whant to get the fact's straight, me and my brother rafyvitto, were the one that figured out the gsm fix, me more than him ofcourse since i have the rezound

Also taking 4-5 jars a build.prop, and ziping it calling it a fix and then posting it does not make you special. if i never told you what to use, you would have never figured it out.

And im sorry for being so harsh but you made no effort to correct the mistaken about who discovered the fix.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I don't think that is true. It would have happened eventually.

He credited you guys...
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
jars from villec2 wouldn't work on qualcomm s4 based roms neither would ONE X jars so really only one s :P my rom isnt exactly stock i dont remeber if i used stock jars or not but oh well....yea he did do it like that...but i have a newer one :)....i did credit u..and ur brother u never talked to me about this privately u have my gtalk could have easily sent me a message but u decided not to at least from what i see [just checked my chat logs so no u didnt] either way u couldve emailed me and we couldve talked..but nah i guess u wanted to turn this into a big issue just like u said paulie kanged ur rom..even talking about me on twitter? think i dont see? next time email me or gtalk me...again u said it all u figured out was the jars...its not ur smali code u didnt write it urself...so lets all take a moment to think about this and why would you let this turn into a argument when we couldve privately dealt with it.....
[HTC Rezound] siulmagic:
First off the jars from s3 roms and s4 work from each other and the other way around too , as long as there from sense4 roms, they do work np, smali code was never needed, we needed the right ruu's,and yes it works for us( i have proved this with my rom), no its not my smali code, its htc's code, i never claimed i wrote the jars? and i did not contact you before, because i would figure you would have pmed the guy from this thread to fix the incorrect credits, and really i did not think i had to contact you joelz we go way back man, i figured i know this guy, he wont let this thread get miss informed, but no =/, ether you forgot to check the thread or dint care i dont know( i would like to think you dint have time, to check them).

oh and i never started this issue , my post only requested/asked for me to be given credit for the fix, thats all.
[HTC Rezound] renzo.olivares:
not the framework.jar or services.jar anyways..still really the best wouldve been to contact me.....I do agree with you however i should've pmed him and im really sorry this had to happen..sent him a pm to change it...

Vodafone in Hungary - success

On a trip to Hungary and figured I'd slap in a Vodofone SIM card to try this out. I have an unrooted stock Rezound.

First tried a test vodophone SIM card in the store, after entering the special menu and selecting World Phone it worked.

So I purchased a new SIM card, upon reboot entered the SIM PIN # and then had to go back to the special menu to select GSM. I could see a GSM signal picked up almost right away.

I can receive text messages apparently but when I try to send it does not, just "hangs" on the message. When I do this I think the phone connection dies, so I have to go back to the special menu and re-select either GSM or WCDMA or World Phone. (Just playing with different options, all of whch seem to basically work the same way).

I do get the "This sim card is from an unknown source" error too, which I can ignore.

However, for some reason when I try to call a number in my address book, as a mobile number, it seems to change the number so the call can't be completed. I have not figured out how to fix this besides just dialing the number directly.

Anyway - key thing is on stock unrooted Rezound I apparently can make and receive phone calls, and receive text calls, with a few quirks along the way which I can live with.

EDITED: Another weird thing I found, in Network Settings, I wanted to shut off Data Roaming (since I didn't pay for that anyway), even though I selected "Deny data roaming access" it says "Connect to data services when roaming". Maybe it did that with LTE and I never noticed.

coming from dinc2

hey guys -- probably is a noob question, but i technically am not a rezound owner yet. i'll be leaving for europe next week, and last week i bought the voice/data global package through verizon for my dinc2. if i bought a rezound today, would i be able to throw in my dinc2 global sim card and get vzw/vodafone service in europe?

thanks for your help...again sorry for not going through the 75 pages of this thread.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Buy a rez, then a local sim from Europe then pop that in, turn on the phone and dial the hidden menu *#*#4636#*#* and pick gsm and you're good to go.

No sending Texts though this way, you gotta flash a gsm rom from the dev section for that.

HTC GSM problem

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I am trying to install install GSM FIX but my phone does not boot up after installing this.

I have S off,unlocked bootloader on GB.

so I did complete wipe using Clean-wipe-1x given on XDA and then what kind of ROM i have to flash and where i can get that?

previously i installed CleanROM 1.7.5.zip and was let me setup but no GSM signal and when i installed GSM fix,my phone does not bootup.

so if i clean wipe all and install this ROm again i can bootup but not with GSM FIX flashed.But here i dont get my GSM working in phone information menu(*#*#4636#*#*) i am able to refresh SMSC(gives me no) but not updating it says update error.Do i have to flash anything else to get this properly updated?

I would really appreacite your help to get my HTC rezound in working conditon on GSM and SMS.

I will donate if it works.

thanks,

using in Canada for Rogers GSM(having USA varizon HTC rez)
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
Hello cmp211. if you just need GSM. if can flash any of ROMS by siulmagic. there are MIUI, sense 3.6 and sense 4 ROMS developed by him.

Not sure which GSM fix you are referring to. If that is from pkmn thread, use it only on that ROM. Usually that should work with sense 4 ROMS

You can also find a GSM fix on CONROM's thread. that should work with CONROM or any other ICS ROMs based on stock sense 3.6 or senseless

If you are on any non sense-4 ROMs or other ROMS you may try editing below values in your build.prop

ro.config.lte=false

ro.telephony.default_network=3

-Also since you are on GB firmware, you need to flash old firmware patch whenever you are flashing any ICS roms.

--

You may follow below procedure ( this will give you GSM + ICS )

1) Download latest RUU from link mentioned here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27241752&postcount=4

2) since you are already s-off just place the RUU on root folder of your sdcard as PH98IMG.zip and flash it via bootloader,

3) Unlock your bootloader using htcdev.com --Not needed if s-off

4) Flash a recovery of your choice using fastboot

5) If you wish to just run on latest RUU. skip verizon setup and flash stockgsm.zip from below link --everything on GSM works here

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Rezound_Developers/Joel/

6) If you wish to flash any custom ROM of your choice - based on latest RUU and sense 3.6 ( CONROM has a GSM fix - if you can that along with ROM ), flash that ROM and try changing below values in build.prop and do factory reset once

ro.config.lte=false

ro.telephony.default_network=3

7) If you wish to flash PKMN rom, you can flash GSMFIX.zip at below link

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Rezound_Developers/Joel/

8) If you wish to flash Newt on other sense 4 based ROMs, flash ROM, skip verizon activation, change below values in build.prop and do factory reset once

ro.telephony.default_network=1

ro.product.rat=GSM only

Again as said above, YOU CAN ALSO FLASH ANY OF ROMS BY SIULMAGIC for GSM without doing any of above steps. ( if you are on ics - sd card fix needs to be flashed )

How to enable the phone in Europe

Hi all, I have learnt that the rezound works in Europe.. I have searched this forum and on google but have not been successful in finding out what exactly i need to go to use my phone when i go to Italy (I dont care about data or SMS). I am not sure if i need to root my phone or not. I had the samsung galaxy nexus with ics and rooting was easy. with the rezound it appears to be more complicated and i would prefer to not root it. regardless if someone can summarize for me and direct me to a post that explains what i need to do to use my phone when i travel to Italy, I would really appreciate.

Thanks a ton,

From my experience you must be on an ICS rom to get gsm working and that requires root. But, I am not fully sure.

wht is the best method for S-OFF on VzB ICS?

Reg GSM ROM, so i need to go back to Gingerbread?
[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
No need to go back to Gingerbread.

GSM will work just with stock OS itself .

You can just flash change below values in /system build.prop or flash stockgsmfix.zip listed here --> http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/Rezound_Developers/Joel/

ro.config.lte=false

ro.telephony.default_network=3

If you flash stockgsmfix you will find RUU version changed in system info and it can be ignored as build.prop in stockgsmfix has old RUU number listed in it ( it can be edited later)
[HTC Rezound] Fixup:
Hi, I've read through all the pages, but still not so clear. I have a Rezound running stock Android 2.3.4 (2.01.605.11), rooted and working perfectly on PagePlus (a Verizon prepaid) with 3g. When I insert an ATT SIM, I can make voice calls fine but no any data. How can I get GSM data and still keep all CDMA functions?

If required, I'm willing to flash to any stock ROM and apply necessory patches. But I won't flash to ANY custom ROM (200% firm on this rule).

So, is it possible to use a stock ROM + fix to have both GSM and CDMA data? I understand that I cannot have both at the same time and I use *#*#4636#*#* to switch.

BTW, I figured out this trick: after you made a switch in *#*#4636#*#*, you have to reboot once before shutdown for the changes to stay. Afterward, you can shutdown and even remove the battery, the changes will stay. If you never do a reboot and then shut down the phone, the change won't stay.

If I try to add T-Mobile's APN, everything seems to go in, but when I press Save, it does not save and is not in the list. There are no error messages.

I strongly suspect the problem is that the build.prop has the mmc and mnc hard coded.

How to confirm network selection in hidden menu

Hello everyone,

here is the procedure irule123 used to activate WCDMA :

After dialing *#*#4636#*#*, I get the hidden menu. But when I pick up GSM (or any other), how can I confirm my choice? I mean, there is no "Apply" button in this menu. So when I go out of this menu ('back' or 'home' sensitive buttons), the change is simply not applied, and when I go to that menu again, the network picked up is LTE/CDMA again. Same thing when I reboot my phone, ofc.

Could someone please detail the procedure to select the network? Do I need to click on a particular button (I see Update and Refresh, but I believe that is used for the text field to the left).

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Rezound] kent17:
After too many problems with ICS ROMs, I finally updated the firmware (radios and hboot) which were too old, causing my phone to randomly reboot and crash. Anyway, I got stock android+sense 4.03.605.2 (you can find it at androidpolice), which was released in August.

And here are the good news for non-US rezound (future) owners: no need to go to hidden 4636 menu, you can pick CDMA, or GSM in... Settings :) Moreover, the sms issue (cannot send) seems to be fixed in this firmware :D (no need to patch GSMfix) .And I got data very easily by following the tuto at the beginning of this thread.

I had flashed rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG and then with the sim in there, I tried to get it working, adding apns, changing settings, etc. I was about to load nils business global ROM, but then I did the factory reset as part of the nils instructions and then it worked. I was surprised, but somehow the factory reset made it work, I didn't even have to add any APNs or anything, it loaded everything automatically (didn't even have to select network type, etc).

After that you just login and it takes you to a vodafone login site for the "web session" ...
