I thought I had an OTA, and flashing it returned me to stock build with stock apps and no root, but didn't return the bootloader to the factory state. I'll download one of these that matches and maybe have better luck?

Are these supposed to relock the bootloader?

Also, there is an "HTC Update" available when I go on wifi and check. I should avoid using that, right?

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Turns out, there are three OTAs I found (I couldn't find your handle there specifically, but I found the OTA links) and I have the middle one. The kernel, the HBoot version, and the radio all match up byte for byte.

And just to be clear (I think you know what I'm doing, just making sure), going S-ON isn't what I need, as I never was S-OFF. I had the HTCDev-unlocked bootloader and upon relocking it, it says "Relocked" like a tattletale. Does T-Mo care if that's even on the phone as far as warranty goes?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
From everything I heard, they couldn't care less since it was provided by HTC in the first place. I returned my last one with S-Off and all they did was check the little tattletail moisture dot. Had a new one in 3 days.

Yeah, I understood you were just looking to get a "locked" header again that's why I kinda figured the OTA HBoot would get you there. It did everyone that accidently took the OTA when they were already S-Off and they ended up Locked, S-On with the 1.45.xxx HBoot and had to do the wire trick to get back to where they were before. I DO think you're worrying about something you don't need to though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Just flash a PG59IMG.zip via bootloader if you really want to unroot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Okay, then I shall quit worrying about it. Thanks!

I'll go ahead and download the HTC update then, too, just to see what it does. Since I'm not keeping this particular phone anyway... Before I do, I'll say, I expect it not to go back to locked because if they're going to go through the trouble of making it tattle like that in the first place, they'll check for that particular tattle in the updates and not reset that part of it. But I could be wrong. Lemme OTA update this thing and see what happens! :highfive:

Thanks again!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Congratulations! My phone has been updated successfully to version 1.63.531.2 710RD. Sys Info says radio is 11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2. Seems to match the latest offering here.

Okay, let's reboot to bootloader and see what it says.

Nope, still "*** RELOCKED ***". Oh well, no biggie. ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Those stinkers! LOL. You were right. I guess they're just not going to allow us the cover THOSE footprints. I sure do appreciate the feedback!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I figured this was coming. I've said for months that HTC is starting to adopt crApple's business model, and now they're starting to sell phones with no replaceable battery and no SD slot in addition to no hardware keyboard (the One series).

Sent from Spaceball One.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Yep. In my searching around here, someone was asking how it was done that e.g. Revolutionary and Juopunutbear were able to change their banners. If there were a tool or method for that, I'd consider it, but since HTC and T-Mo don't seem to care (and since I have a hardware issue and I never messed with anything that could have damaged that particular piece of hardware) I'm really no longer worried about it.

I've been on Google+ too much lately. I keep wanting to +1 the posts I agree with.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
BOY! They're sure going to loose alot of support if they start adopting those ideas! And I'd not even heard about the "no replaceable battery" issue. That alone will cause me to jump ship considering the lousy battery they insist on using. I'm not about to buy one of those car batteries to hang off my belt so I can make phone calls in the afternoon PLUS I just don't trust a car charger after I cooked my CrackBerry on one.

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

This is just a guess on my part but I ASSUME that a person would have to decompile the code for that particulat HBoot then find the area that the graphics for the banner is contained in, then with a hex editor change the text that it displys then recompile it again. BUT.....I'm no programmer either. :o
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I didn't believe it until I had a coworker's brand-new One S in my hand. My first question was "how do you change the battery in this thing?" Then I looked it up and saw that you actually had to take the phone apart for that.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
GEEZE! What are they afraid of? Someone will put one in that doesn't overheat the cpu & kill it prematurely?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
The HTC EVO LTE is the same way with the battery. A buddy of mine got a brand new one when they came out and shortly later it hard bricked overnight on charge and was replaced with a refurb. So this is the crap we are gonna have to start dealing with from HTC.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
"We" are not dealing with this. If Samsung keeps coming out with slider phones with high-end specs like the Relay I won't be dealing with HTC's bulls**t.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
If this is the path that HTC has chosen for their future then they are well on their way to becoming the Hasbeen Telephone Corporation.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lito99:
Quick question.

I got a warranty exchange last week BUT, turns out the cursed headphone jack does not work on the "new" replacement plus the camera has a circular area where its a tint of red, not too noticeable tho. i want to return it to stock even with a relocked bootloader but i was wondering, since i have a backup of the stock rom (which is what im restoring to on nandroid right now), can i just relock the bootloader or do i have to flash the PG591IMG.zip?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Should be able to relock the bootloader after you do a nandroid restore if I understand you correctly. But you'll still have to flash the boot.img file after restoring since you have S-On.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lito99:
I see, thanks! Suddenly, now my phone wants to work perfectly...i have the worst luck with phones. Ill see how long it works but now i know i case i have to do it, thanks :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
No problem. Talk kinda mean to it & tell it to just straighten up and act like somebody. Maybe it'll get the hint you're not kiddin' around. LOL :laugh: ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lito99:
jaja i think i need to! now it doesnt want to work anymore XO lol im not sure if its because i installed a few apps thru mybackup pro or because i rooted thru cwm using superuser. it wont read the headphone jack anymore :( its still just the stock rom, i guess ill have to tinker more
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Well Good Luck....and let us know how it goes but I SWEAR all those issues just don't sound right to me. Try going into recovery & fix permissions under advanced. Sometimes app restores will do odd things.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] lito99:
Alright well what i did was uninstall em all and redownload the ones i could off the market. so far its good. im just going to do a nandroid since ive reset everything and every account just in case i do something in the next few days, that way i can retrace my steps. ill fix permissions too and should be set. At least now i dont have to return it AGAIN lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Tell you what,

If my warranty replacement isn't 100% functional it's going right back. The phone it's replacing was itself a warranty replacement, but it was AFAIK brand new or very nicely refurbished. I saw zero wear on it.

The only question is will it go in its original box because it's worse than not having a touchscreen, or will it go later on in a new one because I've warrantied it as well.

@Blue6IX: I know you can't well carry TWO phones with you everywhere (though I myself did before I lost the work one) but at least for while you're in the car on breaks, couldn't you hook the DS up as a bluetooth keyboard to the GS3?

I wonder if anyone's ever set one up as a network repeater. I mean, like, keep the GS3 in a pocket or a well padded pouch and use the DS like a bluetooth headset paired to the GS3. Would need special software I would think. Definitely a niche market if ever there was one though.

But I'm back OT again... sorry...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
You know....that's a marvelous theory. I hope he sees this. I'd be very interested in his thoughts on your idea.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
It's funny that you say that. I made at least two posts maybe 8 or 9 months ago in separate threads talking about how I wanted to have a little android network on my person, where I could have multiple devices but destribute tasks across the processing power of all of them at once.

The idea is certainly within the scope of reality, so much so that there are a few ways to go about making them happen.

All of them require a metric tons worth of work and unique code to make happen.

The more androids I can get, the more likely i'll start putting serious time into doing it. Believe it or not, the root of my desire to do this stems from the desire to eliminate the computer completely.

Specifically one instance I talked about it was floating the idea of spreading a kernel compile operation over a couple of devices to remove the need for a full computer running linux.

I have a bunch of notes on this back at home somewhere, it's definitely on the todo list. The S3 is another step closer, and for the sake of my sanity i've chosen to stay with the snapdragon line of processors, at the very least qualcomm brains.

dig around the doubleshot forums and sooner or later you'll find a couple of posts where I mentioned it in some obscure thread somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gs_0523:
Okay So my phones IMEI has been a bunch of 0's since maybe january of this year. I had a efs backup on my computer but someone wiped it and now i dont have that folder anymore to restore it. Ive tried a few one clicks and nothing fixed it..but my question is, can having a bad IMEI have a negative effect on my phome? What are the problems to this? And just so you all know, my phone has been running fine since the number became corrupted. I dont have any of the bad symptoms that everyone else gets.

Keep in mind, im not trying to fix it(i have lost all hope for that Lol) I just want to know what can happen because of a corrupted IMEI. Thanks In advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
You can't receive or send data to your carrier and that is all.

Once your phone has lost its IMEI it's as good as a iPod Touch.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gs_0523:
What do you mean data to my carrier? i wouldnt say its as good as an iPod touch since i can still make calls, text and have data. The only thing i have noticed is that when i log into my tmobile account, it doesnt show what kind of phone i have. But thats all.

Thanks for the quick reply btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
Well the only way to get back imei to normal is to restore thru 1-click heimdall or whatever method you use to go back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gs_0523:
I know, I've tried plenty of one clicks and none of them restored it. So I gave up on trying to restore it a long time ago. But the phone itself is working perfectly normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Check under /sdcard/aroma and see if there's an efs backup in there. If you installed any roms that used my aroma installer there's a good chance your efs partition got backed up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VillaCastana321:
I also noticed that yesterday before I fixed my imei with my efs backup I couldnt access voicemail at all. Ate you having that same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gs_0523:
I don't even have an aroma folder on my SD card FB lol. But thanks for the suggestion.

And actually, I can still access my voicemail.

Well, i guess im just lucky that everything still works even with a screwed imei number.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dragon5944:
dont mean to jack this thread but fb im having the same problem i have the aroma back up how do i restore the efs back up
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I'll need to post instructions soon or post a restore zip for you guys. Are you on ICS? It might be easier to try a one click back to gingerbread and to reflash your ICS rom.

Don't expect me to make the zip but maybe a savvy user can give you instructions on restoring the backup using adb.

Basically what you'll need to do if the one click to gb and reflash to ICS doesn't work is:

Flash to gb

Reboot to recovery

Mount /efs

Untar the efs backup into /efs

Reboot and test voice, data, imei

I'd give you specific commands but I'm not at home
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dragon5944:
ok thanks i dont like the one clicks. when i use them to go back to gb my imei is unknown but when i use your gb starter pack and flash a gb rom it works great so i think ill stick with gb
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] USSENTERNCC1701E:
That is not correct. I got screwed over on an eBay buy, the phone was blacklisted by T-Mobile. I've been running on a null IMEI for months with no problems. Edge, 3G, HSDPA, phone calls, texts: no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Lol thanks for correcting me, as far as I know you can't do stuff with the carrier, but I have no clear evidence of that. But if its working fine for you then I feel bad for other people who has no IMEI and can't do stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Huh, I wonder if it is related to the towers in their area, I've heard also of a person with an SGSIII running on T-Mobile with null IMEI. I have not been able to connect to AT&T, although I was able to connect to them with the original IMEI.

Sorry on the noob question but, I just bought a HTC vivid from a guy and he said the phone was rooted. How can I unroot it or how can I fix it so my att sim card works. The guy said it was unlocked and on t mobile so maybe the setting are messed up. It's on Android version 2.3.4 and htc sense version 3.0.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] andymedders:
Same here

in the same boat except I am the one that unlocked the SIM. I used it with T-Mobile and am now trying to sell it. I met a customer at an AT&T store & tried multiple SIM's, but none of them worked. We reset factory reset acouple of times, but that didn't change anything. The weird thing is that when you put an AT&T SIM in the Mobile Network settings are grayed out. Take the card out and the settings are able to be selected.

Sorry to piggyback off this, but Idid want to add that I don't think it has much to do with the current version of Android you're running.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] elbscorp:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] andymedders:
Nothing changed

Resetting to default APN settings doesn't change anything in my case. After a factory reset there are no APN settings anyway. The issue I have is when an AT&T SIM card is installed, everything under Mobile Settings is grayed out. You can't select a network to register with and you can't add AT&T's APN or even reset for that matter.

Should I look into doing a hard reboot? Or does anyone know the codes to dial to get access to the radio (ex. ##12345##)? I read through the first couple of posts in the threads linked, but they don't really address the SIM issue. Sure, I saw the notes on APN's, but I don't think this is what is the base of my issue.

Thanks a lot for the links. I actually got it working last night, I changed the apn setting to say phone and it started to work. But I still want to return it to stock to install ICS.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] elbscorp:
In the SUPERGUIDE start at the very top, first paragraph. You need the RUU that came on your device If yours came with Gingerbread I would guess this one,but it is only a guess. .Download RUU_Holiday_Cingular_US_1.63.502.4_Radio_1.11.1020.03_30.77.551061.02L_release_221238_signed.exe from FileFactory.com

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] almony8:
I was in Best buy with my girl and she was talking to the guy about possibly getting an s3 over the evo lte that I already have. She couldn't decide which one to get. Either way, the best buy guy showed us a cool feature involving videos playing in the corner while he was also searching online. He could also grab the video and move it around the screen while it was playing so he could read something in another corner of the screen. I thought that was the only thing about the s3 that I really liked at all better than the evo lte. Is there anything available for the evo lte that can do this, or is that something that can be ported over to work on the lte? Just curious, thanks in advance if anyone has any info for me.
