[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
So I bought an Evo 3D from a friend, he said he played with it quite a bit. Wifi (says error) and cell data is not working, haven't tried Bluetooth. Phone is supposedly from Rogers, so I'm trying to reflash the stock ICS rom that was linked from this site.

First off, the recovery wasn't doing anything, so I flashed cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru. Now I've got a recovery at least.

Phone refuses to flash either

RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.28.631.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262715_signed (obtained from the repository)

also tried to run the .exe version. The flash through CWM says Image Verification Failed or (bad), depends if I get it to actually check the signature. I have redownloaded and tried again with no success.

Hell, even the OTA update doesn't work, says the phone has been tampered with (duh).

Here's what my HBOOT says:

*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
RADIO-10.13.9020.08_2M
eMMC-boot
Jul 12 2011, 15:29:51

I have no idea how he obtained S-OFF or did the unlock, and I have no idea of the phone has the stock radio/software/anything. All I want to do is use the stock ICS rom from Rogers, as I'm lending this phone from a friend. I'm hoping the wifi and cell data will be fixed with proper software.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
if your using the zip file then you need to rename it to PG86IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sdcard. then boot into bootloader and accept the update.

if this doesnt work then relock the bootloader and then try running exe version from your pc.

btw what is your hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
Trying to PG86IMG.zip autoload, also my HBOOT is HBOOT-1.49.0007. Will get back to you when I'm done trying these steps.
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
Sooo, it started to update everything with the PG86IMG (i renamed the ICS SHOOTERU rom mentioned above) and about halfway through updating various things it powered off. It won't boot now, it gets stuck in a reboot loop, but I can still get into recovery and HBOOT. Going to try the exe while it's in HBOOT, see if that works (since I can't get the phone to fully power on.)

EDIT: So, since it's stuck in the bootloop now, I can't get the S-ON done. The RUU won't detect the phone now, either. (ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR.

So I think I may have just bricked my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
Rerun the PG86IMG.zip
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
Re-ran the PG86IMG.zip, CID is incorrect, the update failed. Do I have the incorrect ROM, or was the file I downloaded bad?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
Not exactly sure. I am on a CDMA but most times I have to run the zip twice. Make sure you have downloaded the latest version. Also most sites post md5sums so you can check to make sure the download is correct.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

The file was a zip or exe?
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
I've MD5 checked both the Rogers Gingerbread and ICS ROMs from http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Shooter, they're good. Both get checked then tell me the CID incorrect!!! error. The radio currently installed matches the Gingerbread (WWE) ROM, but that's the first one I've tried (3 times each, just to be sure after reading above. Also, I am using the .zip files, the .exe files are the ones you run on your computer, right? (If I'm using the wrong files I'll be so pissed.)
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
Yes zip is for sdcard and exe for PC. Was the phone unlocked (htcdev or s-off) before?

Just reread your op. Got an idea but I have to find the files. You can still get into recovery right?

Could not find zip files right away but here is a thread with more info. Should have the zips in it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1970252

The zip locks bootloader so you can run the pg86img. I forgot that it has to be locked because I use custom hboots that are locked but don't show **locked** or **relocked**.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
Any luck?
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
Just checked back now, lots of technical stuff that's beyond my knowledge scope, but I did find the zip you referenced. I can still get into cmw so I should be able to do this, ill edit this post when I have results (or not XD)

EDIT: Bootloader is now ***RELOCKED***, after running the query then the relock, now trying the PG86IMG.zip again.

EDIT2: CID is still incorrect. Going to see if I can hit the ***LOCKED*** status instead of ***RELOCKED***, see if that makes a difference.

EDIT3: CID is still incorrect. Must I have the wrong image?
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
maybe the phone isnt rogers. try an European RUU

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

and if you just aren't able to run a RUU then just flash a stock rom in recovery. you might also have to update your firmware. put on root of sdcard, boot into bootloader and accept update
[HTC EVO 3D] emulsification:
What CID has the phone actually got right now? (in fastboot, type "fastboot oem readcid").
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
I've tried fastboot to query the device if it won't boot. I've tried doing many other things with fastboot and it just says <waiting for device>.
[HTC EVO 3D] emulsification:
Are you sure that the bootloader says "Fastboot USB"?

When you boot the phone into the bootlader, you have to choose the "fastboot" option (select by pressing the power button). It will go into fastboot mode (and display "Fastboot"). Then, when you connect your phone to your PC via USB cable, it should connect to your computer (assuming you have the HTC drivers installed), and "Fastboot" will turn into "Fastboot USB".

Then in the command prompt on your PC, type "fastboot devices". If your phone is detected, it'll show you it's serial number.

You can also verify it's connected by checking Device Manager on your computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
in case you dont have the latest drivers installed, I suggest you do that first.
[HTC EVO 3D] zeropaladn:
Bah, I wasn't going into fastboot menu in the bootloader. Go me. It says HTC__001, which means it should be taking anything I throw at it. :(

EDIT: Changed the CID to ROGER001, the CID for Rogers devices using this information:

http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-3d-hacks/how-to-change-cid-on-rooted-htc-evo-3d-gsm/

Threw the RUU at it, worked like a charm! I have a Rogers ICS HTC Evo 3D now! YAY!

Thanks for everyone!

EDIT2: Wi-fi still doesn't work... Probably a hardware issue at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlmancuso:
Glad you got it. Try a couple custom roms and you might get WiFi if your lucky.
[HTC EVO 3D] emulsification:
Whoo! Congrats. :highfive:

I agree - WiFi is one of the most integral and most used features of a smartphone. Would be good if you can get it working. :)

[Moto X Q&A] greenro89:
So I'm looking to upgrade but don't want to be stuck in another 2 yr contract. I'm thinking of using Verizon's edge program and getting the moto x and then paying the rest off when my contract is up at the end of the year. I would like to know if its possible to then go with an AT&T sim card and prepaid option in the same phone?

I have read all Verizon 4G phones come sim unlocked. I can't find either if the Verizon version comes with the GSM radios necessary to do this.

Any help on the subject would be great! Really tired of Verizon..

It is possible to use a GSM carrier's sim in Verizon's phones for both voice and data. What would you like as Proof?

I don't have an X yet, but....

I have both Verizon and T-Mobile lines for work. (Verizon for personal).

My T-Mobile phone is a Galaxy S3. When T-Mo started supporting the iPhone, our corp rep swapped my sim to a T-Mo Nano SIM for me.

Since then, I have put my T-Mobile sim into my Verizon iPhone 5, VZW Galaxy S4, VZW BB Z10, VZW BB Q10, and VZW Nokia 928. Doing so works fine for voice, data and text messaging on T-Mobiles network, but at EDGE speeds since these VZW phones don't support the 1700mhz UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ bands that T-Mo uses. They do support the 1900mhz band that ATT uses, but I don't have an ATT sim handy to pop them in.

Oh, and I did need to use a SIM adapter to convert between nano and micro since only the iPhone 5 uses Nano sim. I do not recall results of trying to SMS, I really don't sms anyway.
[Moto X Q&A] Polymira:
I hate seeing this response all the time on Verizon devices. Most modern Verizon LTE phones do GSM just fine. Verizon used to call this being a "World Phone", but really all Verizon phones are world devices now. Galaxy S3/4, Note 2/3, all of Moto's phones, etc.

[Moto X Q&A] sleepyguy007:
i think in the past verizon phones were GSM locked for only europe / asia and not US GSM carriers.

i think the moto x, and the droid ultra/maxx/mini are not GSM locked for US.

i just switched from verizon to t-mobile. and my last phone was a droid razr m. i unlocked the radio to be able to use t-mobile for a week before my moto-x came, and it DOES work on at&t / t-mobile.

in this case it supported at&t / t-mobile on edge and voice. with 1900mhz hspa+ at&t 3g (and refarmed t-mobile band). no LTE support.

i think the xt1060 is the verizon moto -x and it doesnt havef support for t-mobile HSPA + 1700/2100 AWS or the t-mobile or at&t LTE bands.

so if you bought a verizon moto x, and used it on at&t in the future you'd only get hspa+ 1900mhz at&T "4G". and edge/voice. but it should work fine.

Maxx works...ish

I got a T-Mobile SIM for my VZW Droid Maxx (same chipset as the Moto X). With no changes to any settings it gets voice and text, and after manually inputting the T-Mobile APN I picked up H+ and the 1900 MHz 4G in my area. There's an article on Android Central with pictures of a Droid Ultra on a GSM network (I think AT&T).

That said, Verizon's tech support maintain that their unlocked phones aren't allowed to use any non-Verizon US carrier. They also said that if I take a U.S. T-Mobile SIM card roaming outside the US it will work there. The last generation of carrier locks were based on the nationality of the SIM card, not the tower, so that doesn't make much sense. Further reason to question anything tech support tells you.

Basically there is some sort of issue with telephony when connected to LTE in any GSM mode. Until Motorola fixes it the only current solution is to disable LTE otherwise you won't be able to make outgoing calls or send text messages. I do believe the setting to use in Phone Info through should be GSM (auto) and not GSM only though in order to ensure HSPA service.

Unlock bootloader to get AT&T's LTE on Verizon Phone?!

Fascinating! Well, I ordered a Verizon Developer Edition yesterday, after hrs. w/ tech support and sales at Moto X and researching to see if Verizon developer's edition will or could conceivably work on AT&T's LTE. AT&T has LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, and 17. TMO missing 5 and 7. But it seems these could be accessed if International unlock, yes? Anyway, VZO's LTE is band 13 and 4, though even Wikipedia isn't sure if the Developer Edition supports 4, so from that perspective it seems not supported.

But, the Moto reps and salespeople all emphatically said the Verizon Developer Edition is totally cross-platform and will support LTE on AT&T ( yes I got all names and etc. ), so I ordered it, but checking further last night, most forums ( and common sense ) say no. Users say after placing nano sim card, HSPA+ only, no LTE.

To go a bit deeper, on XDA, some, such as SOMFW, claim 4G works on AT&T using the VZN phone. Others, such as yourself, say LTE is possible if I unlock the bootloader and flash the ATT modem files. Anyway, the reason I did not change my order to GSM despite how daunting is because of your post. So if you could shed any more light on that, I would be grateful.

BTW, other posts say never use another carrier's ROM on a different carrier's phone. Others say do it it works great. Some say if you do it you lose the ability to make a call and use LTE at the same time, or some such, and that it's a known issue that Motorola is working on ( or was until today when they sold the company ). For me, no LTE is not good.

So perhaps a more in depth question I am having is: Is there really just one Moto X with lots of different firmware?﻿

You've obviously read false. The Galaxy Mini hasn't even got ICS, let alone Kit Kat. The DS will be kept updated by XDA devs much better and longer than any Galaxy Mini.

And nope, it's not outdated, the latest Android ROM is CM10.1 which runs android 4.2.2 which won't be dropped by Google for another 2-3 years. So you can enjoy your DS longer, like most of us do, thanks to devs! ;)

Read the replies to the thread. No-one really believes in that. And that are all just rumors.
