Correct. Edge aka 2g data is all you will get for now.

You see, T Mo USA uses their 1900 MHz PCS band exclusively for 2g traffic. 3g data (HSPA) and "4g" (HSPA+) is used in the 1700/2100 AWS bands.

T Mobile is reframing their 3g and HSPA+ to the 1900 MHz band and will have true 4g (4th generation) LTE on those 1700/2100 AWS frequencies (previously used for 3g).

I have the international One X on T Mobile USA and am patiently waiting for the network to modernize their infrastructure. Supposedly, between now and the end of the year.

any way either of you could get me a 50.01? say its for a friend and mail it out to me and ill cover mailing, and then i can activate it myself? or tell me where you got it from?

atvxda i love your sig and also, it makes me feel so comforted and not alone as i felt before now knowing that you also are waiting for the bands change.
[HTC One X] swordsx48:
wow, thanks for that tip! i dont know about you guys but honestly, the s3 is better. i had this mindset that touchwiz is crap and the s3s physical home button is ****ty, super lcd is better than amoled and all that. but i bought my dad an s3 and i fell in love with it. it has much better battery life for a few reasons: touchwiz is light, useful, clean, and good looking. amoled has more true blacks, and the 2100 mah battery. moreover, just plop one in your wallet (on ebay for $3) and there is no way possible you could lose battery. removable back is also replaceable with a more stylish and secure back from ebay ($7). i mention that because i really liked the one x for its beautiful polycarbonate backing when really the s3 can have something even more sleek like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/40033322089...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/28093857636...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Suddenly I'm experiencing my touchscreen locking up. Sometimes immediately after reboot, other times it might happen after a few minutes or hours.

The volume and power buttons still work, and the accelerometer can flip the screen.

When the issue occurs all I am able to do is hold power for 10secs to force the tablet to reboot.

This has only started happening in the last 24 hours.

I haven't installed anything new.

Running stock rom 4.0.6 + GoLauncher.

I have recalibrated.

Anyone else experienced similar?

Any ideas what I can do to fix it?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extreme_One:
Yesterday I really thought my device was broken.

After the issues above I began to have a situation where I had to reboot but as soon as my device booted I was locked onto a 'homescreen' that I hadn't defined; it was on a secondary homescreen but my touchscreen was completely inactive!

I managed to boot into 'safe mode' and my touchscreen worked fine on the default launcher.

I rebooted and GoLauncher HD loaded up fine with my screen also perfectly responsive.

For 24hrs since I have had no problems whatsoever.

I suspect GoLauncher HD may be buggy?!?

QUESTION How did I boot into safemode? I did it by accident!

When I was trying to configure the aospx kernel and screwing around the kernel files, I think I remember getting something similar. I THINK I fixed it by removing my current gcc version and moving up to another. I can't recall it all exactly as I was blazed when I did it lmao. It might be something completely different though as i have no clue as to what the @%#& kernel is nor where to find an HTC @(#$ $.......

Ubuntu automagically had me on 4.6 or something and I moved up to 4.7 (if I remember right) and I think after that it started working. Sorry I'm not extremely ubuntu savvy :/ but yeah I think thats what got it working for me.

Hello All,

Please go easy on me, I have searched and the more I read the more I get confused. So here is what I have:

I have it rooted and running:

Baseband T989UVKL1

Build Number: Gingerbread.UVKL1

I hear that than OTA for UVLDE is rolling out, I have not yet had the OTA yet sent to my phone. (T-MO)

What if anyting should I do??? I am so lost here I have Busybox, SU...etc...

Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khizar:
if you really want to update just download either the ODIN tar thats in this forum or go to rootz and download the flashable zip that whitheawkx made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Or you can download Samsung Kies (not kies air, actual kies) as you will need it on the 11th for the ICS update.

Edit: nvm somehow missed you saying rooted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
would it worth it??? or should I just wait??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
Justananomaly,

If I download Samsung Kies....then what do I do...will it automatically update?? and then I will be ready for ICS....or should I just go back to Stock.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Nvm about Kies since you are rooted. Maintenance update will unroot you anyways youll have to use Odin to flash it then unroot unless you want to flash it and stay unrooted and stock until the 11th for ICS and yes kies will ask you to update on the 11th after plugging your phone in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
Justananomaly,

Ok,,,,I guess I should go back to unrooted and stock till the 11th.

If I go back to unrooted and stock, will I loose all my data......and is there a FAQ or step my step to go back to stock

or when I get this update will this unroot me and just wait till the the 11th.

I would like to back to stock but keep all my data....how do I do this...I see outdated FAQ's, etc....anyinformation will be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Not sure if you will lose your data or not, most likely on the 11th you will anyways since it's an OS update. The maintenance update didn't wipe my data but did unroot me. But thats because I was on stock just rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
OK...well ihave all my data backed up....so I could just sit back and relax and let T-MO do all the updates and when done then I can unroot again.....and add what Mod I want....does this sound correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yrv_13:
yes kies resets your phone to stock as in out-of the-box if u choose to go back to stock i did it to my SGSII in order to get the UVLDE and lose everything... good thing i made a backup on my PC :D but remember that when u flash a new rom even a stock it wipes your data thats why is always recommended to make a nandroid backup.;) now im just sitting here... waiting for my ICS... no root till then...

edit: that is if you really dont want to use odin wich is recommended. check here for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332103 . good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
ok...now how do I do a nandroid backup??? I used titatium backup but please tell me more about nandroid...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Justananomaly:
Nandroid is built into clockworkmod recovery. It backs up your entire partition so it's basically like having a full backup image of everything, apps, ROM, data, everything the way it is. If you just want apps backed up, and not your entire phone, sick with titanium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chargedbird:
OK...now I got it. I do have clockworkmod recovery and titianium...will backup both and save to my pc and google drive.... then I will update to the maintance mod and will wait for ICS....thanks for your help

I was replying to the OP whom said he was on stock rooted. I was also running stock rooted with bloat frozen. I just unfreezed, delete dalvic/cache and rebooted. Then flashed via kies, rerooted, then refroze the bloat. It's probably different/cause problems if you are running a custom ROM prior to upgrading via kies. Hope this info helps...
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
Hi all,

I am new to android and just* want to root my phone as many apps demand your phone to be rooted such as full backup apps, firewall apps and other similar apps.

I am still on HTC's stock 2.3.3 with HTC sense v.2.1 (though i have downloaded the OTA update for 2.3.5 but kinda confused over negative reviews of 2.3.5 update..so I am holding it here right now)

But when I saw a guide here though quite helpful but I was a bit confused as what I read on other articles on XDA + on other blogs that a thing called HBOOT is a bit tricky to tackle while following a particular rooting method; as there are many ways to root like using revolutionary..installing custom bootloaders etc (is it really neccessary? I just want to root my phone and don't plan to install any custom ROMs in near future.)

I am confused

- as to should I really let my warranty go off the table as its just a month old phone :( sacrificing it for just a few apps I want to use.

- Please tell me that, will I be able to search for and install the officially released OTA updates such as the 2.3.5 / ICS after I have done S-OFF + Rooted my phone??

If answer to both of the questions above is a "YES"

then plz tell me step by step of how to S-OFF and ROOT my phone (I found multiple ways to Root the phone and now I am confused and not really confident on which way/approach to follow)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Sky770:cool:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
If you want to root, do not download the OTA and install!!

You are in a great position, and you can easily root your hboot with the alpharevx.

Do it, you won't regret it.

Also, we can't give you step by step guides... Follow the index links.

Also, you can't install updates after rooted. But you won't need to. We will have the official ICS prerooted before.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Revolutionary now, not AlphaRevX ;)
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
well.. :D

Thx for both of you replying here..

LOL accidentally pressed "thanks" for dan-fish so had to do the same for olyloh6696 :D (I mean should express gratitude towards both of you..but its actually better if I had done it at the end/mark the thread as "solved" :P )

Looks like we have a standoff here.. which one guys? the alpharevX or the revolutionary?

ok guys here is my HBOOT info:

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

saga pvt ship s-on RL

hboot-0.98.0002

radio-3805.06.02.03_M

eMMC-boot

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

So, should I be worried about the HBOOT ver. number? the 0.98 ? :|
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
You should be less worried that the hboot is 0.98....

No need of downgrading,

It's simple, just do revolutionary....

And you will have S-off

And yes, don't download the OTA

[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
There's a video in the index thread on How to root and S Off the HTC desire S ... Follow the instructions & u r good to go!!!
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
ok.. I really have no idea about what happens and what not happens if i do downgrade my HBOOT but I see many people here on XDA done that (downgraded their HBOOT) Can you shed some light on this topic?

Also, I would definitely want to try official 2.3.5 and/or the official ICS release (whenever they release one; around Q3/Q4 2012? :D) so is there any* way to install these if I do revolutionary? I would def. like to find these updates via OTA (will my phone detect these from official HTC servers?)

PS: I am trying to stay as long as with official ROM as of now :| so no near future plans to flash my baby with a custom one :P

Just need the root

just a few more noob questions to follow :D

Thanks for reading and replying :)
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You will not thank me for this, but for your sake I suggest reading instead of writing. All of the info you're asking for is written in the guides, and people that write the guides don't have enough patience to answer those that don't bother reading and ask the same questions over and over. Writing questions instead of reading FAQs and guides leaves you with less probability of having a good answer or having an answer at all, and clutters the already cluttered forum.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
As you are on the old hboot, there is no need of downgrading, that's why I said, do not install the upgrade.

We have a ROM, by Proxuser, which is the rooted version of the OTA with no modifications and will work out pretty well.

Once rooted you will not be able to receive any OTA upgraded, but IMHO, hardly matters, you will get the same and better versions out here.

We already have the leak of ICS build for desire S, and it's pretty fast, forget q3

Also we have very functional sense 4 lite, which is faster than sense 3.6

So again, do the revolutionary, it's quite simple actually for you, and flash the saga 3D,, for a stock experience

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Well the beauty of rooting is trying out custom ROMs... I don't think you should root if you don't intend too. You seriously won't regret it. Just take a NAND backup, you can always restore to it if you don't like the custom ROMs.

And as I have said before... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

No, you can't get OTAs once rooted, but you can still install these maually, and you will be able to do it way before the update actually hits your phone 'officially'.

As we have said too, you are in a good position. No need to downgrade at all. Your hboot version is the right one.
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
:|

well..thats what forums are for..uhmmm? to ask people about your doubts and things you don't understand simply. period. :P anyways..thx for motivating me to through 100+ threads :D

thx bro :) I have not upgraded my 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 so np :cool:

well can you name me the ROM which is the ICS build for htc desire S + has the sense 4 lite (faster than sense 3.6? :O )

Right.. :) When I acually was craving for a droid I was crazy as hell to root n try out new ROMs but... :D when I got an HTC I was simply hands down n thought not to touch this beauty. :D HTC Desire S is quite a package at this cheap price + hardware config. :rolleyes:

PS: just a last ques. for now: which OS is the recommended one? I do have linux mint 10 32 bit edition installed on my machine; its a bit old.. rarely updated the packages n all AND I have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit edition ..so which one would you recommend me to root with?

Thanks a lot guys.

I'll get on it.. and will tell you how things go :)

[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Well i felt the same too. It's great out if the box, but you can achieve so much more when rooted.

Do it. Also, Windows 7 is easier.

ROMs? Have you checked the dev forum yet?
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
First thing, you dont need to read 100+ threads, the index is in my signature with all sorts of information

STOCK ICS Sense 3.6: Virtuous Saga

Sense 4.0A(One V port): Fallout

And yes, any OS that you are comfortable with should be fine.. I did it on Win 7
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
No, that's not what forums are for. You should probably look at the name of the forum and think, what does "-developers" part stand for, and why isn't it called "XDA-users-in-doubt-that-are-too-lazy-to-bother-reading". Your "period" you can use elsewhere.

To your last question: Windows is what the guides are written for, so doing everything on Windows will be better - it won't require you to understand and "translate" everything to Linux.
[HTC Desire S] TheOldMonk:
:D (wish I could give this a thumbs up too :P )
[HTC Desire S] dannyhoughton74:
@sky770... The guys are right, In my opinion it's only worth rooting your device if you plan to try a couple of custom ROM's. You seriously won't regret. HTC have a habit of leaving some of the older devices to "fall & die" without providing updates. Through the hard work and determination of some of these guys on here, You will not only have your handset kept alive but also at the same level as some as HTC's flagship devices.

As for recommendation on ROM :)

hboot-0.98.0002

radio-3805.06.02.03_M

eMMC-boot

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

I had that exact same info and followed this link to show me how to s off and root

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If you decide that s off and root is what you want, the video literally holds your hand through the entire process,btw, if you install the ota this method is no good
[HTC Desire S] anchemis:
I'm not 100% sure about S-ON and SuperOneClick rooting (never tried it myself tbh...) But from trawling the forums (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682), looks like there are different 'grades' of rooting:

1. Shell root: gives you root access for one adb session only (as soon as you exit adb, the phone is unrooted)

2. Temp root: installs the SuperUser app, but phone is unrooted once you reboot

3. Perm root: SuperUser app is installed and kept on rebooting

For some devices that are S-ON'd SuperOneClick only gives you shell root (not ideal), but the post is a bit old and desire S isn't on the list lol! So I've no idea really. Best way is to try it and see whether the root sticks?

Maybe GingerBreak do things differently? (I've never tried it) Otherwise you might have to go down the S-OFF root to get full permanent root.

Generally safe, but its a good idea to backup anyway, in case you want to S-OFF / downgrade / the battery blows up / thermonuclear war etc.

My guess is that it will only give you shell root...

What sort of ROM do you want to run on your phone?

Stock Sense 2.1?

or something more *interesting*... (say the newer Sense 4.0 ports!)

The beauty of android is the awesome dev community who continues to keep old phones alive! (Desire S will probably never get a proper Sense 4.0 OTA... but a custom / de-bloatware one from one of the devs will probably work just fine once all the issues are ironed out)

I'm personally using the CM9 alpha (well.. pretty stable for alpha), that has stock ICS (since I really like the clean interface of the GNexus)
