Don't know if anyone can help me in my situation but I have a major problem at the moment too, my phone just refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.

I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating OTA my phone bricked!

So, I searched high and low for a solution and ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.

I've tried everything I can think of to fix this.. Hard resets, updating with Sony Update Service but nothing works. There's just so much conflicting info out there that I'm really confused at this stage. I have a perfectly good phone in that everything works bar the SIM and I'd hate to have to buy another one! :)

Any suggestions anyone or is my phone screwed for good? :/

Ok my take on this one, you unlocked bootloader fine with wotan, but bricked with OTA update, this is a known issue OTA doesn't work with patched bootloader. Sony update service should.

When you flashed the the relock, you have reenabled the simlock as that is not affected by the bootloader patch, your only solution is to pay again to remove simlock, I would suggest a s1boot repair on omnius, if not then an unlock credit will remove it.

Don't try to relock, you font need to to use Sony update service, the bootloader is patched to allow flashing, as far as sus is concerned it sees it as a locked bl

• Resolves signal fluctuation.

That's the big point right there.

Once its released, we should be able to have the update baked into a custom rom and made available to root users..right?
[HTC One S] FixedTheFernBack:
This might be a bit of a noob question here but this update is pushed out to carriers by HTC correct? So in theory, these fixes (mainly signal fluctuation is what im worried about at the moment) will eventually get pushed out by all carriers that have this phone?

Im on Telus in Canada and still within the 14 day return period of getting a new phone until next tuesday and so far the phone is fantastic except that the signal quality is absolutely terrible which makes it pretty unusable as a phone. On a sunny day outside where i would have gotten 5 bars with my Desire, i am either getting absolutely nothing (Emergency mode/0dbm) or at best one bar (-107 dbm). I really want to keep this phone, but if a fix doesn't come before next week i might have to ditch it and get a Galaxy Nexus or something else, which i would rather not do.

[HTC One S] nickmv:
Would you expect it NOT to? Rooted phones not updating isn't that uncommon. Simply nandroid your current ROM (make a backup of it too), and flash a stock nandroid to get back to your original state, and it'll most likely update just fine.....whenever the update comes out, that is.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
From what I read, you'll need to reflash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and flash an RUU to remove the tampered and unlocked so the OTA will work. I'm hoping someone will get the OTA and make a zip we can flash on top of the current stock to get the fixes...
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Agreed, but the issue at hand is whether or not it will flash a new kernel. As of now, i don't believe we have a way to flash a kernel, but I could be completely wrong.

Sure would be nice of HTC to release the source code.....those assholes

Thank you! I think I'm the only one that things the contrasting colors AND contrasting surfaces (matte/glossy) on the back is hot. Didn't anyone learn anything in Art class? Contrast people.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] javaraider:
While the paintjob is well done, I don't agree with the choice of color. Did you at least sand the cover before you painted?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
I agree. I think they pulled off the contrast very well, particular because of the red band. But your right. The phone looks sleek and different, but in a good way.

What I also like is that it was a bold design move. Not many are willing to break the conceptual mold that a phone is suppose to look like.

Do a test, go out in public, whip out the phone with its huge screen and contrasting back with a red band. People notice. What is that? Damn straight.

Color Choice

I did sand it first as I was following a post from another thread, and intended to just leave it sanded. I didn't like the result. Mine didn't look as good as the posted sanded phone, so I painted it.

I didn't mind the glossy black color at all, just hated the constant fingerprints. My old glossy black backed nexus didnd't seem to leave fingerprints as bad this EVO.

Believe me when I say that I had no intention of going the "buttercream" route at all. I had 4 colors of Krylon Fusion in the house and tried them all on my old Nexus S. Flat black, satin white, buttercream, and a light green.

For some reason the buttercream in person looked best to me, and best of all, no more fingerprints. I don't mind the derogatory comments posted by some as my wife gave me crap too before seeing the finished phone. The photo was taken from my work blackberry so it isn't the best and looks much better live.

I just thought I would post it as so many talk about changing the back, yet nobody has/does....... well I did for better or worse.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBigB86:
Hi there,

I have rooted Desire with a Gingerbread ROM. It is still S-ON, but I would like to have it S-OFF. I've looked at Revolutionary, but it requires a stock ROM.

The last time I tried to install a stock ROM, it crashed on that warning screen (/!\). I sent it to get fixed (had some other issues as well) and received it with a stock ROM.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but discussion around here has led me to believe that RUU's come with hboot and hboot can't be downgraded. And so I figured the problem might have been that I was trying to install a RUU with a lower version hboot.

So this time I want to be sure the RUU comes with hboot 0.93, but the RUU descriptions don't mention this.

TL;DR:

I could be completely wrong, but I think I need a RUU with hboot 0.93. Anyone?

I know how to change the icon in the apk but what I want to do isn't as simple.

I am using GO Contacts at the moment. Its a great replacement for the default dialer. My issue is if I change it in the apk when it updates it will go back to the default icon. I have tried placing the modified icons in framwork-res.apk but using the names that are used in the apk are not going to work (app_icon_contact.png, app_icon_dialer.png).

I have also added them to the launcher.

I am guessing the name for the icon will be something like com.jbapps.contact.png

Anyone have an idea on how to do this? I don't want to keep pulling the apk everytime the app updates just to change the icons.

[HD2 General] 11PCX:
I'm having a dispute with tmousa regarding them locking my phone to their network. I own my phone but put one of their prepaid sim cards in my phone. I guess they thought it was one of their phones and they locked my imei number to their network. Now for over a month I have been trying to get them to provide me with the network sim unlock pin so I can take my phone to another network but they're saying my phone has been modified and they can't find my imei number in their database so my phone is basically a brick now. They claimed they contacted HTC to get the number with no luck. Is there anything that I can possibly do now? Thanks.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
IMO you should contact one of the ebay's unlockers and check if your IMEI is unlockable(it is cheap to unlock, about 2-5US$).
[HD2 General] hengsheng120:
Did you give them imei number shown in the phone software (not the back)?
[HD2 General] 11PCX:
Wow thanks for the eBay tip! Just paid for the code so waiting for it now... I thought this was a different type of lock. I thought the Rom itself (tbd sense) unlocked the phone to other networks but I tried a wipe and re-flash and it was still locked so I should have asked the question sooner. Will post the result. :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Also just so you know it was not the sim card you put in it that placed a lock on the device to just use T-Mobile. The lock was on the device from factory, all US cellular providers do this to all devices they sell. It is a effort by the providers to keep you from changing providers so easily. They figure if you have to buy another device to change providers you would not be so willing to change to another provider because it will hit you in the pocket book harder. It is a very under handed practice in my opinion and should not be illegal. We pay for ower devices and should be able to use them how we want and with what ever provider we want. But then again we live in the worlds greatest country right.......what a joke.
[HD2 General] Dblfstr:
I have had an HD2 since they first arrived at T-Mobile. As stated, all phones in the US are carrier locked by default.

It was easy for me to have mine unlocked. I called T-Mobile and told them I would be traveling out of the country. I asked for the unlock, gave them my IMEI, and serial (maybe). That was all it took. I got a text message with the code.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dman918:
I'm awaiting the arrival of my evo lte and am debating on if a case is needed or not. It sounds like it's rock solid, and the screen is gorilla glass, so is something really that needed. Yes, I saw the one post where someone actually did crack the screen, so I understand it can happen, but is it really that likely?

The case I am considering is the basic TPU case that is cropping up on here. My biggest concern is that I want it as slim as possible, and even though the case is supposed to be about as slim as can be, it still adds some bulk.

Anyway, all thoughts are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

One additional idea I had was to get some kind of sleeve to put it in when not in use. I think it may also come down to how it feels in my hand once I have it.

I've never really kept a case on any of my phones. I'm very good at handling them (except when my wife klutzes it up). I just know that my hands aren't the biggest, and with these phones getting bigger every year, adding a case just makes it worse.

And... I have TEP, and have always kept it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lucidox:
I read that Sprint was sending out a free case with every EVO LTE, to make amends for the whole customs situation. Anyone receive one of those or know if it only applies to those who ordered direct from Sprint?

Since I opted out of the insurance, I'll be putting a case on mine. My OG EVO did quite well with the official HTC TPU case, so I'm considering this TPU case by Diztronic.

I'm also considering getting a screen protector, but not sure how necessary it'd be with the harder Gorilla glass. I'd be primarily using it to protect against scratches from keys, change, etc that might end up in my pocket.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

You can actually sand the top half to match the bottom. I might try this, though it's not that noticeable either way, as my case will cover it.

See here for instructions on sanding.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Papichulo06:
No, put at least a tpu case on it. It's super slim, hardly adds any bulk, and gives you grip on the phone.

I probably won't put a screen protector on till my first scratch but you got to remember sand or even dust can still scratch the gorilla glass. So be careful at the beach all you summer beach goers.

I would kick myself if I decided to go naked as I originally intended. For whatever it's worth, peace of mind is good to have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vulcZ:
I bought the TPU case everyone's been talking about for my phone, but I'm not going to install it until after I hold the phone in my hands. I have a TPU case for my E4GT and I love it.

It's not that I'm worried about dropping my phone, I just like the phone to feel good and feel secure in my hand. The E4GT feels pretty terrible IMO (partially because of how light it feels) unless it's inside of a case. With my TPU case it feels perfect. I remember my EVO 3D felt very heavy, so I got a case for it because I knew that if it ever fell it would probably screw something up (besides the screen). And it happened. I ended up giving it to my brother and he dropped it, and screwed up the digitizer. thankfully Sprint replaced it at no charge since there was no physical damage to the phone itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrtoastyman:
I had my OG EVO in an Otterbox Commuter and I got so used to that heft that this actually feels a little too svelt without a case. I'm going with a screen protector at the moment plus a gel case to offer some protection and make it a little easier to hang on to, but I definitely don't feel the need to wrap it in anything really substantial, for the reasons noted by the OP.
