There was a discussion here and I think it can depend on both.

Speaking from my experience when I bricked my DS I created the goldcard on my PC so it was not related to any device data.

Try to extract the Rom.zip from the .09 RUU, copy to the SD card and reboot to bootloader as you did before but with the goldcard this time

[HTC Desire S] paulie-uk:
If this means you still have a custom recovery, that custom recovery should still have root and therefore you'll be able to misc_version from it, even if normal android is unbootable due to partition table changes from changing hboot versions.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
1st off all sorry guys if this is another repost but i just got tierd of searching for this problem. It may be me not knowing what exactly to search for... don't really know. But...

I have one unbranded Amaze (guess it is unbranded since there's no tmobile logo or other's carrier). There is no way i can find a working wifi ICS rom. By now, i just found the same problem on tmobile support forum without a reliable workaround.

So... 1st i've used the stock ruu from tmobile. no success. wifi starts, some times it detects few ssids with no singnal but not mine wich is few meters away. I also tried android revolution HD rom with final firmware from their thread and latest hboot. Still no wifi. At first i thought it's a hardware isssue, but that thought is gone since i got back to GB and everything works just fine.

I'm thinking to get the security back on and try update to the latest official software... but i have a feeling that won't solve the issue...

Does anyone have a clue about this...? :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Provide the important details, bootloader status, s on s off status, custom recovery, cid number, and how you went from gb to ics :P
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
bootloader - unlocked / s - off / 4ext recovery (on custom roms), official recovery on stock roms / cid 1111111 (some 1nes :P) from gb to ics i used the official update utility wich means all the sw components installed were stock. I've only installed custom roms over official ICS so all the base components were for ICS... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Run the t-mobile R2 ruu >> flash latest firmware >> flash jbear hboot (optional) >> flash 4ext >> flash arhd :)

if your wifi still not working then it's a hardware problem :) good luck.. From what I'm thinking your wifi works but the correct module files are missing reason..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
i just put venom and wifi is back up but no bt :))) nice though... i guess it is a kernel issue on stock rom and i'm thinking of using faux kernel over stock rom... hmmmm let's try that out :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
BT is not working in venom rom :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Need more info, but let's see

Hi there.

You should give us more info as to whether or not you're s-on, s-off, supercid, etc.

Did you try and connect to other Wi-Fi's? Like a neighbors unlocked Wi-Fi?

You said it worked on GB and not ICS...

Hmm. I would try and relock, run a RUU, then finally unlocking it and doing S-OFF, Super Cid, and whatever you need to do again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
already specified in my previous posts... on some roms it works... i suspect this being because of the kernel. It worked with venom rom and it works with stock GB. the only problem is that venom has no bt.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
All the sense 3.6 roms are fully working your s off so it can't be the kernel either something wrong with your firmware, do it from the beginning from the ruu then everything will be okay
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
tried that already... even got all the files from your signature. the problem it is still there... :|

actually... wifi doesn't work on ruu either... the 2 only roms wich can bring wifi up (as far as tried by now) are stock t-mobile GB and venom ICS...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
You mean even the complete ruu failed?? I'm not talking bout the small firmware update in my signature I'm talking bout the R2 500mb+ ruu..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
i know what you are talking about. and there's no fail at all... everything works fine except for the wifi and bluetooth. it says turning on but does not find any devices (wifi) and the bluetooth finds devices but does not pair with them

[update] - i just flashed the videotron's ICS wich seems to have funcional bluetooth, still no wifi...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
All the roms are based on tmobile base so flash the r2 ruu and check the md5sum to make sure the download is good :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
If the actual ruu fails then the world will end soon. :D

Make sure that you actually used the right ruu since it would clear out all software problems. Sometimes even hardware problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
ok, so... from the beginning:

1) i bought this phone with some custom rom on... don't really know witch one... nevermind

It was already s-off and fully routed

2) i've installed the official t-mobile ICS from their site (r2)

3) NO WIFI / NO BT

4) I freaked out big time... thought it's hw issue

5) I've installed the official t-mobile GB from here

6) Wiped my forehead seeing WiFI and BT fully working

7) tried to find a working ICS custom rom

8) didn't find one by now except venom wich has working wifi but no bt and official videotron wich has bt but no wifi (funny, huh?)

9) now i got another GB from wich i'try to update OTA (wich GB, has fully funcional wifi and BT, btw :| )

10)... fml... i just want to buy a phone wich works from the first time :))))

...and yeah, it is brand new... no hw problem... drivers issues more likely
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Brand new with a custom rom on it? Hmmm... Sounds like you bought it used.

Anyway, make sure its not a configuration issue with your wifi router. Go to a local hotspot that's free and see if you connect.

BT does not work on viper rom. So the question is, does it work on another ics - based ROM, or are you saying BT does not work at all?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ciolansteen:
yeah, it had only 1 week out of the store :)

ok, finally got it up and running.

Thanks guys for the great help... seems that after i installed ARHD and did a full wipe + changed the wifi channels (i have a 2 spots bridge for one single ssid), radio connection is up and running. Also BT works perfect.

Thanks again! :) :D:good::good::good::D
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
Is there any way to get the stock T-Mobile boot animation (with sound) on the custom ROMs (ARHD, Speed, Kaioken, particularly)?

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Replace the boot animation up zip, in system/customization folder :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
Thanks... but... ummm.. how do I get it out of the stock ROM? lol

The RUU zip only has *.img files and 7-zip won't extract them.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
You get that bootanimation from the ruu no need to change anything in it
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
So, I take it the only way to get it is to:

Install the RUU

Copy off the zip

Install the custom ROM

Then replace the boot animation with the one copied from the RUU​

?
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Hey download powerISO or powerarchiver from Google

Than open that IMG file in it and extract the files you want.

Easy dude
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
There's a link in my signature which says gb stock rom, it's a stock tmobile rom even that has the boot animation
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
Success!

I pulled the boot animation and the ruby_startup_audio.wav file from the GB ROM in your sig, then used "Driod Management" to move them to the phone, rebooted, and voila! I've got an android rocket with audio!

Thanks! :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Another tip

Good job!

Well I have no idea why you like the Stock boot animation it's kind of irritating and loud but whatever.

You can also change the bootanimation by going into customize > resource > then finding the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip

Find a bootanimation you like and rename it to TMOUS_bootanimation.zip

You can also change the downanimation (the boot for when it get turned off.) Do the same thing except rename it back to TMOUS_downanimation.zip . :good::D
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
Using my daughter's words "it's so cute!" lol.

I've used MANY custom ROMs (as well as the stock ones, obviously) across a few different android devices, and I've never really liked any of the boot animations that much, but for some reason I just really like the little android rocket! I'll probably get sick of it after a while, but I plan to upgrade phones as soon as the new Xperia 1l comes out (hopefully T-Mo will carry it because I kinda need the wifi calling).

I'm still trying to find a downanimation I like... So far the one that's on your latest ROM is pretty cool.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
+1 I like the android rocket aswell lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] putergod:
Gotta have the audio too! Just doesn't quite have the same effect without it, lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Hahaha couldn't agree more lol I have the asian version so I had the crappy bootanimation, after 2 weeks i got my phone i tried the s off and soft bricked my phone and the gb rom in my signature was the one I flashed lol you can't imagine how happy I was when I saw that lil android rocket bugger with that sound hahaha

some browsers show the phone, but opera mini 7 always show 'posted from opera mini 7'

could i change that at all?

my phone is a chinese one but i'm guessing that makes no difference, but it'd be nice if i could type my own message in so it read something like 'posted from [my own text here]'

i could think of a few funny things to put, or simply just put iOcean X7 (as thats my phone)

Hi! I want to ask you something:

I am using HB 2.2 with Hunds Kernel, all is working properly, only the GPS doesn't work so well. I tried using GPS Status with the GPS Dongle attached to my TF, he sees some satellites, but he can't fix them, they suddenly disappear.

I don't know if is a ROM problem, kernel problem or what else.

There's something I can do?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiggerBux:
I have read some tips on the Internet. That was useful for me. I will post it here so if someone need that, can read!

Here's the step by step to setup GPS BT Streaming to a TF201 :

1) root the PHONE (not the Tablet)

2) download "Bluetooth GPS" on the prime (or tablet) by googoo android. This will receive the GPS signal over bluetooth.

3) enable mock locations under developer settings on the prime settings

4) download a GPS to Bluetooth app on the PHONE. There are several

4.1) I use "Bluetooth gps" by meowsbox free trial 1.49 full version

4.2) you will need to grant su privileges to the GPS to Bluetooth app you use

4.3) some apps work better with certain phones

5) start GPS and gps streaming utilizing utility from #4 on the phone

6) pair phone and prime under bluetooth settings, in the settings menu of both tech.

7) open up Bluetooth GPS on the prime choose the PHONE from the dropdown source menu and click connect

8) you should now be able to utilize GPS as if it were native on the prime

8.1) you can see feed from bluetooth gps, see sats with GPS test, utilize maps or special nav charts e.g. boats planes etc.

Hi,

My SGH-M919 says I'm on 4G while my country still didn't get 4G, this means my phone thinks 3G is 4G, how do I fix that ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lagunas11:
U cnt.. The only ones that can show u the real signal is a cm10 rom and it shows you 4G just because that's the way carriers want it to look so it can make you think that you're getting 4G whole you're not..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] J_Marrie:
You can change the model number in the build.prop file to "Galaxy Nexus" save it and reboot.

It should show "3G" in 3G areas and H+ is "3.5G" areas.

I figured this by doing the google wallet fix.

This might break some functionality with preinstalled apps though.

You can always change your model number back to "SGH-M919" though and reboot.

As others have said it's a carrier thing. If it says 4G, you're actually on HSPA+, and when you connect to LTE it shows 4G/LTE. So visually you can still differentiate between 'true' 4G LTE and 'marketing' 4G.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hurta:
Hello,

First off I'm trying to figure out what S-Off vs S-On is. I rooted my phone through the HTC-Dev page and it says I'm still S-On. Are there any drawbacks?

Secondly I'm currently using the google edition rom that was posted in this thread back a week or so. I previously used Cyanogen mod and liked some of I'ts additional features that are missing in the google edition rom. Also from what I understand, I'm not able to update my phone without having to manually reflash it right now.

So my question is, will cyanogen mod be able to use the google edition rom so that it will use the new stock camera and what not that are better in the google edition rom?

My last question is, since I'm currently using the google edition rom, what kernel works good with it? I think I am still using the kernel that came with the CM version i used previously.
