[HTC Desire S] lowrider82:
Hi guys,

I have unlocked my HTC DESIRE S with HTCDEV method and it's S-ON.

Now I want to install the latest MIUI V4 that has just been released and I think in order to do so I need to first downgrade the HBOOT...

I tried this guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399331

but when I start putting the commands im not sure it works, when i get to ./zergRush.c I get permission denied :(

Pleaes help me, I'm desperate
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Don't bother. I love MIUI, but there seem to be nothing but problems with the new release at the moment.
[HTC Desire S] lowrider82:
U tried 2.8.3 on Desire S?

Still, can't you help me downgrade HBOOT and solve my problem in case they fix miui in the coming releases??
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Please read before posting. Your question has been asked a thousand times (and in the proper forum - which is Q&A).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
After fully wiping the phone with fastboot and using a 2.3.6 fruitcake, and not restoring any apps, my phone still hangs on every task whenever the wifi or mobile data are turned on. That is, if I launch a program it will hang for 30-45 seconds, possibly FC, sometimes completing the task if I select "Wait." If the freeze is really hard, it reboots. If I turn off both wifi and mobile data, it functions normally.

What I don't have are constant reboots, and -- here's the basis of my question -- I do not get the "Error" message when switching on wifi. It connects and establishes an IP address. Bluetooth is also able to be turned on. The phone just can't function properly when they are.

Motorola's website says my phone is still under warranty, though I'm obviously bootloader-unlocked. Should I chance sending it in for a hardware failure?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
There are known issues with GB236 fruitcakes. Try flashing a 234 or 235 (they work great) and see if the problem persists.

Out of curiosity, where did you get the 236 fruitcake?

Edit:

Motorola has historically been pretty uncaring about whether the phone is rooted and/or booted. Only problem is that they might return it with a bootloader that can't be unlocked (see stickied thread in dev forum).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheeparecurious:
I see. Well, this was out of samcripp's "rebooted" thread, and the problem actually started on Nottachtrix 1.3.1 which I'd been running for some time with no problems. The FC issue just started one day and persisted when I rolled it back to 1.2.6 with a full wipe in between, which is when I started knocking back my apps and traced it to the data connection. Flashing the fruitcake was a last option, though it's probably worth trying the 235 just to be sure.

And I did see the unlockable-handset thread, thanks for that warning. If I have to go back to stock rooted, I'll just deal with it -- this is a great phone and I'd like to hold onto it for as long as possible.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Court Jester:
Long Story short:

BlueTooth was not working on stock GB. Flashed an ICS Rom, still doesn't work. Flashed GB Ruu, took the OTA ICS update. Bluetooth still doesn't work. Took phone into Verizon and now they are mailing a replacement phone so I can send this one in for repair. Problem being, I need to revert my phone back to LOCKED without the Relocked/Security warning.

Sooooo, if I can S-Off the OTA ICS, I understand what steps to take.

Anyone know if the current version of ControlBear .5 will work for the OTA? Or can I just unlock and flash a ICS ROM that can be S-Off'd?

Thanks, and yes, I know if I had patience or the knowledge yesterday that I have today, all of this could have been avoided.

Thanks!

Mark
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Use the "WINDOWS (3.14.605.5 ICS Leak)" listing on unlimited.io. It should work. The firmware has not changed in all the releases newer than that one. I've not tried S-off on the x.12 OTA, but I did so successfully on x.10.

And of course make sure you have root on the ROM you're using and USB debugging enabled.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
To be honest...I would just send it back unlocked. Have we heard of anyone having issues with returning unlocked phones? :confused:
[HTC Rezound] RicoX9:
Good luck

I really wish I could get s-off to work. I've rooted many Thunderbolts. No issue with HTC unlock. I'll be damned if I can get my phone to work with the s-off exploit. I've spent many hours on each of my attempts. Gave up trying. Too frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Make sure you're using the right kind of wire (not a paperclip - mine wouldn't work with this either, until I used a speaker wire from my home theatre - worked the first try), and get the timing right.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamkul:
So I need to return my phone to stock for a warranty replacement. I have pm15img installed already, but after following all the guides to turn s on I can't get it to work. I keep getting the error that the emmc power cycle failed. Any help would be appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Erm, this should have gone in Q&A.

I don't quite understand. You said you installed it, but it won't power cycle? What happens if you pull the battery and reboot?

Personally, I think Go Launcher Ex is the best Home Launcher yet, thanks to a myriad of go launcher widgets, but the problem is it is wayy slow. Apex launcher provides almost par experience, but as a +point, its super snappy..

[LG Optimus 2x] Vorb:
I'm hoping to find a new launcher to replace Go Launcher EX. I'm really irritated they are now adding icons to your app draw. I have "AppCenter" and "GameZone" icons that I don't know how to remove. Hopefully this thread will lead me to a new launcher. I'm currently on CM7 and have been happy with Go Launcher EX until now.

Im using Nova, it's clean and fast. I don't like the borders in xperia.
[LG Optimus 2x] speedme:
I'm using GO Launcher Ex, but mainly because of the grouping of apps in folders (like iPhone style).

However I'm also annoyed that GO Launcher Ex is now adding usefull stuff to their product, as I don't need (and want) App Center, Game Zone, etc.

Does someone know a smooth/fast launcher, which can group apps in the app drawer like GO Launcher Ex can ?

Preferably the same style as GO uses.
[LG Optimus 2x] davidssohn:
I guess most of the launchers, if not all, make you pay for this feature.. (apex pro, nova pro)

I just use Apex and hide whatever I don't need, that way my drawer is quite organized too und Apex is smooth and fast. :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] reverendhtc:
Yes, app grouping has to be paid for in Nova launcher.

Be careful using next launcher on the gs4. It can cause your phone to get stuck at the carrier logo on boot up.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
I wanted to change again the Baseband cause i had some problems. I used the Guide of Dr.Notor. All went well he made the Backup of nv2 fiel and started the phone in Emergency Mode. After that the program tried to write ass but now it is on timeout after 45 minutes. I have no idea what to do. Please help me. The LGMDP is already running and the phone connected. What can i do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FD.:
First of all, edit the thread's title to something more descriptive, like "Problem changing baseband"

Did the NV2 Backup complete successfully? It's the main thing, without that say goodbye to your phone signal.

Weird that 45m timeout, I changed my P500's baseband in less than 10m I think... did you follow drnotor's guide entirely? Including the part of disabling LG modem and not touching the phone until it finishes?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
Yes.

Sorry for the bad title
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FD.:
If you have your nv2backup you could try flashing it over once again from step 1, maybe that works.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
It worked. I stopped the program and run it again. My Phone is running again. The problem with error searching network on CM9 persists. The Baseband rechange doesn't bring the solution.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
Now that you already have NV file if you use lgmdp always in emergency mode dont mather if you flash only bb or recovery or the entire rom but flash with phone already in emergency mode and lgmdp will not touch the nv file :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
Good tip. Next time I make it from emergency mode.

The stupid thing is that I risk a lot for nothing, cause the baseband didn't bring me something.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
It has more signal for wifi and 3g
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
The new baseband was already on my phone, but I thought that maybe something went wrong the first time and therefore I get the "Error while searching networks" on CM9. After install it again the result remains the same.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
Its a rom bug not your fault ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
I asked few times but nobody answered. I don't see it on Bug-List and so I thought it was the fault of my phone. I like ICS and JB but as I explained on other posts I live on the borderline to other countries and I cannot live with automatic search of networks, cause It can be really expensive for me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lolphirae:
As said above, you will have the bug as long as you are using the junky Froyo RIL stack. This issue exists on CM7 as well since they've "fixed" the stupid 128KB SIMs by reverting the RIL stack. Messing with baseband will not solve anything for you.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5182

Ask your operator to have roaming deactivated, best I can offer if you want CM9+. On CM7, the RIL can be switched back to GB, with CM9 this causes a force-close loop with the phone app -> no go.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
Is there a way to check whether I have a Funny SIM Card or not? And in case I have, is it possible to let it change from provider and with which excuse?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lolphirae:
Well, flash latest CM7, flash the attached ZIP and if your SIM does not get recognized, it is funny. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
Thanks a lot.

I made all the steps and the SIM works. Now I have to hope that CM will revert the RIL to GB too, so that I can use CM9+.

You wrote that this Patch runs only on CM7 and not on CM9+. Is there in fact no chance to make a similar patch for the newer firmwares?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] optimusPRIME:
Yes maybe its a faulty rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] joker12:
yes it happens to me too.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lolphirae:
Sure there is, however I am not going to recompile CM9 for this, it requires patching files, overwriting the libs is no longer enough, as said above.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Goldian:
Do you mean mik_os git changes in the above issue link?

Easier would be that CM changes back to GB RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V00D00.:
Hey guys. I just got a Galaxy Nexus from Best Buy yesterday and I was pretty excited until I walked out the door. I tried texting my friend and the phone could hardly send texts, most of them caused a red exclamation to pop up next to them. I also tried sending out calls and the phone would just be silent for a couple seconds and then it would automatically hang up. I also was dropping 4g when I tried to use it (but I did have it intermittantly). I tried dialing *228, but a message always popped up saying "Call not sent" when I did so.

Having these issues, I went back to Best Buy. They said it was probably because it was taking awhile for the phone to fully be on the 4g network, but they troubleshooted anyways. They tried updating the PRL (which didn't work). They tried doing software and hardware resets. They also ended up going through 4 different sim cards that all did not work, so they had to call Verizon to try and fix it. Verizon said that the phone wasn't even shown as activated on their system. So what they did was activate a sim card before putting it in my phone. My phone activated fairly quickly after this and seemed to be working well. My signal had full bars, my 4g was working. They did test calls and texts and it worked perfect. So, they gave me the phone and told me I should be all set. 5 minutes down the road I start trying to use it, and my signal was cutting in an out. So I tried making calls and texts and they worked, and I went on my 4g and it worked. But slowly as the day progressed the service got worse and worse and now today, my phone is even worse than how it was when I started. It is constantly "searching for service" and now I never have a signal. I don't know whats wrong with this phone. Is it software? Hardware?

I checked and I am on a software revision 10 phone, which from reading I thought was supposed to fix many of these problems. I am also on the latest software and baseband update.

Just upgraded to ics last night from stock rooted gb though kies. Have not rerooted yet.

The first thing i noticed was i lost flash player support on a streaming page i go to a lot. So i updated the Adobe flash and it loaded up in the webpage but after a few seconds of skipping sound and video it freezes.

I've tried another browser chrome which didn't load. Made sure it wasn't internet connection speed by using both wifi and LTE.

Anyone know if there's anything to try or a fix? I know adobe stopped supporting it or something so maybe it's not compatible with newer android firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marinemansf:
I know that adobe support for flash on chrome will no longer work at all and android support in general is over. but i've heard that guys are still able to load their tibu backups of flash and get them to work in dolphin, so maybe try that. i don't have any flash problems yet, but im running skyics by seanz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kaede177:
Wow i just tried dolphin and it worked smooth as butter! Thanks! Guess the browser just sux lol.

Side question though, I've never flashed roms, only rooted phones and i read about people flashing so often. Do your apps or settings etc. Transfer over or do you start fresh every time and have to set it all up?

I am thinking one day i might try that but if i don't like it i don't wanna go back and have to have a complete do over.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jhong209:
Usually you have to do a full wipe, which means losing all your apps. But, it shouldn't matter if you have Titanium back up. And most launchers have back up settings, so there wouldn't be too many things you would have to re-setup. Just remember your Gmail pw( which none of my friends do when I help them flash a rom >.<)
