[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Phaze1585:
Anyone out there rocking the XZU model: C6806 on AT&T? If you are, does yours shows that your getting LTE? I have the C6833, cause I thought this got LTE, but all I seem to get is H+

So, if your getting LTE, please let me know. Thank you for your time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] velgador0:
Yep, I'm on ATT with a C6806 and getting LTE. Had to switch to the ATT APN when I flashed CM, but yes, definitely getting LTE. And the 6833 doesn't get LTE for ATT, doesn't have the right band IIRC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Spectre51:
Yep LTE works great on the C6806. Was in LA the other day getting 30+mb down and 20+ up.

Sent from my Xperia™ Tablet Z
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dropofdreams2:
There are some locations in which the 6833 will get LTE but it's so not likely that it's not advertised as being compatible for AT&T. Even so, there were reports that some folks needed to have a recognized IMEI associated with their line of service to get LTE despite model and APN.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nOrbX187:
Hi Phaze1585,

When I had my Z Ultra LTE (C6806), I was getting LTE on AT&T. However, there are two things you need in order for this to work:

1. Band 17 support which the C6833 does not have. However, AT&T may support band 4 (which the C6833 does support) sometime in the future but don't know when. If you look on Wikipedia and search LTE bands, it says AT&T supports bands 4 and 17 but AT&T currently implements band 17 predominately. There are reports on this forum that the C6833 should work on T-Mobile's LTE since they are using band 4.

2. The SIM card needs to be activated or associated with an AT&T LTE phone. If it is an LTE phone but not "approved" (basically sold) by AT&T, you will only get HSPA+. Not related to Z Ultra but in lines with the point, I purchased my dad a Xperia ZL and activated a new SIM with AT&T (previous phone was a Moto Atrix 2, HSPA+ only). When I booted the phone, it only connected with HSPA+. When I inserted my SIM which at the time was associated with a Galaxy Note 2, I was able to get LTE on the Xperia ZL. Similar stories can be seen by searching on Google.

Hope this helps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace-user:
hi guys, i have my HO for around 3 months and i absolutely love the front facing stereo speakers..but lately i think that the speakers aren't as loud as they used to be..is there any tests/ways to test the volume of the phone to make sure that it's still as loud?

please help me out here..cheers ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kibmikey1:
If you recently updated from 4.1 to anything more recent, there was a reduction in loudness. Some claimed they lowered due to speaker longevity, others say hearing protection. In any case, unless you roll back to your factory shipped stock, your stuck with the levels HTC set.

[HTC Rezound] ximfinity:
Thanks. I'm on 2.22 and I've been needing up update to get wifi working well on Carbon, I'm giving this a go once everything downloads.

Edit:

Just finished in about 1.5 - 2 hours with downloading and all installs.

HBOOT- 2.28.0000

Radio- 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Are you s-on or s-off? You don't need to do all of these steps to get to the latest firmware, just some of the RUU steps at the end.
[HTC Rezound] ximfinity:
I'm on S-OFF which ones do I need to do in that case? its a ton of downloads!

I'm still on JuopunutBear Hboot- 2.25.2525

Radio 2.22.10.001r
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
I just saw you added your radio/hboot version, you're way behind. Still being s-off, you should be able to just upgrade your firmware/radios using the file marked "this 3rd PH98IMG.zip"

This guide I believe is intended for people who need to wipe their phone completely back to stock which is very useful with someone with a non working phone or just wanted to start clean.

I don't believe that zip wipes anything but back up your internal SD to be safe.
[HTC Rezound] ximfinity:
Yea i got pretty comfortable with sun dream for a long time. Just getting back to looking at some of the new work out there.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Edited original post as you should only be s-off for the downgrading part. If you dont know which versions would be a downgrade for you just send me a message and ill gladly answer for you
[HTC Rezound] jmvaught:
Excellent write up REV3NT3CH. I must say that if you are experiencing slow boots and/or random reboots you need to do this. Downgrade to the 1.00 RUU and walk them back up to hboot 2.28 one step at a time. You will be much happier, guaranteed. Thanks again bud.
[HTC Rezound] SoonerDude:
I'm on Part 2a, step3, installing my 2nd RUU, it's been on the Sending..... screen for about 20 minutes now. Is it normal? The first RUU only took about 8 minutes.

My phone is showing the same htc screen on black background as it did during the first RUU I ran, but no sort of progress meter like last time.

Is there any way I can tell if it's still writing or just hung up?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
did you check the md5's on download...could of downloaded badly
[HTC Rezound] SoonerDude:
Sure did, learned a long time ago to check the md5's. I eventually just killed it and started the RUU over, it took 2 or 3 tries and it finally worked. Had to do each of the last 3 RUU's that way. Not sure if it was my POS work computer or what.

Everything is good now.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Glad it finally went through...it could be the computer. Also sometimes firewalls or antivirus programs could cause these kind of issues. I was able to do all of them succesfully on first try with windows 7 64bit
[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
I'm on HBOOT- 2.28.0000 Radio- 2.23.10.0123r/2.23.10.0124r already, i use a different method but having problems with not having full bar signals. Lots of drops also. Are you guys getting full bars? I will try this method hopefully it will work.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Bars mean nothing, they are just a comfort for users and typically exaggerated by manufacturers... CM based ROMs, like Tachyon, report signal strength more accurately, you can always check in Settings->About Phone->Status to see the actual signal strength you are getting...

A signal of -60dBm or higher is considered perfect, and at around -112dBm it is call-dropping bad (varies by make/model/revision but a good estimate). If you're above about -87 dBm, most manufacturers installation of Android will report a full 4 bars of signal, where CM-based ROMs more accurately register this as around 3 bars.
[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
right now im in my basement and getting -102 dBm.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
That is only about 1 bar, the phone is representing the signal it is getting normally. Under the factory ROM this would have been represented as 2-3 bars... remember that this is only an indication of signal to comfort people, not a real indication of signal reception.

If this level of signal seems wrong, I would first look at the back cover and verify it is an HTC brand back cover (standard or extended) and that it is seated properly, this is the root cause of 90% of all bad signal on the Rezound as the antenna are in the back cover. Many alternative back cover/battery combinations have poor backs and antennas, like Laza.
[HTC Rezound] dogface3247:
To do these step do i have to be S-OFF?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
to do my guide and downgrade or what acejavelin mentioned
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Before you go through all this, I would try to verify IF there is even an issue... Get a friend or two with Verizon 4G phones and everyone go to an area and read their levels, although there will be some variance, if two phones are in the -70dbm range and yours is showing -102dbm, then there is a problem with your phone (back cover, radio firmware, internal hardware, NV corruption). For fun, install Network Signal Info from the Play Store and walk around a bit, go upstairs, downstairs, in the yard, etc.

If all three phones show a similar reading, like within 10-15%, then there is no real issue other than your service in that particular location isn't very good.

This can vary a LOT by location... in our tech building by the garage doors in front I get close to -60dbm, I can see the tower less than a block away, if I go to the back of the building about 150' farther away, the signal strength drops to less than -90dbm.

When it gets right down to it though, all these numbers are irrelevant if your service is working... you can make/receive calls, texts, and use data services then the phone is working.
[HTC Rezound] Rolomoto:
Thanks for a great guide! I just got up to date. I started at step 2b because I was stock at 3.14.605.12 and s-on. Everything came off without a hitch.
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I was wondering if you relocked HBOOT before installing the OTAs. That was the only way I could flash the 1st OTA. It installed fine and I can see the revised numbers in HBOOT, but I can't seem to get the other two files flashed no matter what I do.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The third file is for s-off only phones and may be redundant if the second one is the last OTA that brought the hboot to 2.28. It can be used on s-off phones to just upgrade the hboot and radios.
[HTC Rezound] Rolomoto:
yes, I relocked but your post made me wonder if it totally worked because on the 2nd and 3rd parts nothing really happened, I didn't have to do any volume up and it never said "update complete" like on the 1st part. I think after the 2nd and 3rd part it just went to HBOOT. Here's what I ended up with, am I up to date?

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
both 2nd and 3rd ph98img's require special additions to work for s-on users

Edit...and none are redundant...the 2nd contains the system prerequisits for 2.28 hboot...the third contains radios for 2.28 hboot
[HTC Rezound] Rolomoto:
are they available in any way?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
i found that yes bootloader does need to be relocked for s-on users...but if that doesnt work it requires you to be s-off
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The second zip you have posted is the full OTA update with hboot 2.28 included, there's no prerequisites for system, the system stuff is to update the stock ICS Sense 3.6 rom only, the third zip is a trimmed down zip that only has the hboot and radios and has recovery and boot removed. The third is redundant if you're installing the second. The third file is handy for those who are s-off and just want to update their hboot though.

Pull the firmware.zip out of the second file and md5 the matching files in the third zip and you'll see they are exactly the same...

I'm not trying to knock your guide, just pointing out flashing that 3rd zip isn't required if you go through all the steps.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
actually slightly incorrect there bud ...the this second is firmware version 3.14.605.13 with the release keys where as the this third is 4.05.605.14...im wondering if a fix in hboot update for s-on can fix this by changing a few certain things....noticed the this first is 4.05.605.2.....which can cause this...thanks for making me investigate
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Did you happen to check the release key version in the firmware.zip in the 2nd file? The second file is the last OTA, it installs the /system updates then runs the second firmware zip to install recovery, boot, radios, hboot and bring the release keys to 4.05.605.14.

Just speculating but s-on users may be having issues flashing the OTA (2nd file) because the first zip is an unofficial leak. If you're trying to upgrade in order from the original GB build, it wouldn't be used. I haven't checked to see what version your RUU.exe's leave the phone at.

The third will only work on s-off.
[HTC Rezound] Rolomoto:
I'm s-on and tried to flash the 2nd and 3rd parts via fastboot and it didn't work, here's what I got. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
as stated in above post of mine i noticed the version script needs to be changed for s-on users...they also arent signed packeges which im going to fix here shortly as well....but guide does say this is meant for s-off
[HTC Rezound] Rolomoto:
OK, thanks. I may try s-off if I get up enough nerve.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its actually much easier than it sounds...when i first got the rezound close to 2 years ago and s-off came available it was the first thing i did...and i had no knowledge or experience with modding the rezound at the time...took a few tries as the wire i used wasnt a working one...but was very simple...if you follow the s-off guide to a tee its really all you need to do...its alot like what your used to if you've ever fastbooted and such when doing it.....and once you do it it allows the flashing of such zips (just ensure they are meant for the rezound and such) and youll never have to fastboot flash a kernel everytime you flash a rom.....as gor geronimo...i had the same issue with phone overheating....partly due to bad radios and hboot if on newer rom...but when i did all the steps in my downgrade upgrade guide and then flashed twrp (i recommend 2.6.3.0 for 4.3 roms) and flashed a 4.3 rom i had no reboot or overheat issues what so ever

Release keys 3.14.605.13 patch - http://www.wizwire.net/vigor/OTAPkg-3.14.605.13.zip

It looks like your RUU section gets you to 3.14.605.12. You want that patch then the one you have labeled this 2nd PH98IMG.zip. That will take a phone through all the ICS OTA updates and get it to the latest hboot/radios without using the global leak.

The android-info.txt in the firmware.zip files is what bumps the mainver once it's complete.

ahh ok ill deffinately be fixing that
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I have downloaded your S-Off guide, Ubuntu and am downloading the RUUs and MD5 text files. I'm really not comfortable with the procedure. I've seen enough frantic posts from people who were trying it and bricked their phone to be cautious. But, I'm going to assume that they didn't follow the procedure. I have a project out of town this week and need my phone, so I'm going to go over the procedure until I understand it and then try it next weekend.
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
Is the fix only for s-on devices? Or do i have to re-download something and go through a different flash process?

BTW i'm s-off
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
S-off
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
So i have to go through the whole flashing process again?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
No this guide is for s-off users only right now...as only 1 of the ota zips for s-on users works because its the only one that's signed...
[HTC Rezound] abby_nitewolf:
Hello,

I am having a small problem that i can't seem to figure out. I'm on the steps where i flash the OTA zips. 1st zip flashes fine, but when i load the bootloader for the second one it just scans then just says parsing. I thought it is supposed to ask me if i want to flash.
[HTC Rezound] JustinChase:
Okay, I've finished running all 4 RUU's without any problems, then flashed the first OTA zip file, and that went fine. I'm trying to flash the 2nd OTA zip and when it boots into bootloader, it reads the file, then goes to parsing, then falls back to bootloader. it never gives me the option to 'continue' or 'update' with the 2nd OTA.

I've verified the bootloader is still showing locked, and that I'm still s-off. I've tried a couple of times, and have verified teh MD5 of the file on the card, and it's fine.

ideas on how to get this OTA flashed?

thanks!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
go ahead and skip this 2nd and go to this 3rd

Verizon Activation

First off great write-up! I'm working through this piece by piece as time allows (had to trouble-shoot getting the Ubuntu live cd to work yesterday).

How important is it to allow verizon to activate? The phone I'm working on is not connected to a Verizon account at the moment. Will I need to activate it on Verizon before this will work?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
only if you are a verizon user....if gsm then no
[HTC Rezound] postal302:
I'm pretty sure that answers my question, but looking back I see how I worded it poorly. It's my wife's Rezound and a Verizon phone but is currently not activated on a Verizon plan (or any carrier). It died a couple weeks ago and I was finally able to revive it, but in the mean time I re-activated her old LG Ally (painful I know!). Will I need to re-activate it to her Verizon plan (effectively de-activating her Ally) for this to work or can I simply connect to WiFi and not re-activate it on Verizon for the updates to complete?

I ask because after bringing it back to life, unlocking with HTCDEV, loading a new recovery and ROM I tried to re-activate it for her but had no phone connectivity so I'm wondering if it won't connect again until I get these issues fixed.

-Edit-

Oh btw, forgot to say thanks for the help and fast reply!!
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
well if your using verizon on the rez you will need to switch the plan back to that phone...make sure verizon 4g sim is in and that the back cover is on...then activate
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
I cant remember how to do this, could someone please give me a mini-tutorial on how to get back to Sense? I'm currently on CarbonRom/S-OFF and would like to be back on Sense/S-OFF

And 2 quick questions..

- And once I get back to Sense, will be sdcard be fixed again, so I can put apps on sd?

- If I want to go down from a 4.3.1 rom to say a lower 4.x.x rom, do I have to do anything special or can I go a head and just wipe & flash the rom?

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Assuming everything is ok with your phone and your S-off, go back to first post and do part 1 (parts you need for the rest of this) pickup up at part 2a, step 5, and continue til the end... You will be on latest stock Sense ROM.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
what [MENTION=2001582]acejavelin[/MENTION] said...follow the guide to a tee and you'll be gold
[HTC Rezound] torque240:
So all we really need for the radio and hboot is to flash the 3rd one only right? Or is it really necessary for me to flash the 1st and 2nd. Sorry but the reason i ask this is because i followed this guide four times and the 2nd ota zip file never wants to flash for me. It only says "parsing". So i skip it and finish the guide and after that i just flash my twrp and attempt to flash the cleanwipe zip and doesn't work. But if i don't flash the 1st and 2nd and just the 3rd, cleanwipe flashes fine in twrp.I'm not sure if this makes any sense since i am typing this at 5am. I been going at it with this phone since 10pm. Any help is greatly appreaciated. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
So is this what I need to do to get back on the most update OTA? I just want to make sure I understand.

And I'm guessing my phone will be s-on and re-locked again, meaning I'll have unlock and do the wire trick again?

1. Do Part 1 (steps 1-4)

2. Do Part 2a (just step 5)

3. Then finish up by doing Part 2b (steps 1-4)

It was a pain to get s-off this time since control-bear isn't supported anymore except for Ubuntu.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its is highly necesarry to flash the this first and the this 3rd....the this 2nd will be removed as its not needed
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
and no in part 2a you will want to run the all....a missed ruu can cause many issues such as overheating or weird other things in rom like failed signal...also dont forget to activate after the this first ota.....on part 2b as mentioned above only do steps this 1st and this 3rd
[HTC Rezound] xXezmacXx:
ok, so do all of the steps in part 1 & part 2a. then in part 2b, flash 1st PH98IMG.zip, activate & then to finish flash 3rd PH98IMG.zip? i cant understand some of your typing, sorry.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Yes....and sorry if you cant understand the guide...it is very thorough and gives step by step instructions on what you need to do
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You won't lose s-off.
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Thanks to you and luis86dr I have my phone S-Off. It took me several tries and I had to re-install the htc drivers at one point. I had forgotten to uninstall htcSync and that gave me some problems for awhile. It was great to see Controlbear finally running the S-Off.

I have loaded all of your RUUs and OTAs except that the 2nd OTA refused to flash - no "vol up". I saw where you told JustinChase to go ahead and flash the third one. I have flashed TACHYON and am testing for battery life, overheating, FCs, etc. Too soon to tell. I didn't do all the suggested multiple wipes before installing TACHYON. Should I go back into TWRP and do them?

I also noticed the post by mjones73 talking about a patch. Do I need to install that?

I used a Windows version of Controlbear I found in the old [FAQ] S-Off thread started by luis86dr (For anyone looking: HTC Rezound > Rezound General & search for FAQ). It was taking me too long to figure out the Ubuntu command line. I'm probably much older than you and learning these things is more of a challenge.

I hope I've got this battery drain and overheating problem fixed. Thanks so much for your help and encouragement.

You may recall that this is a replacement phone (original can't get past the htc splash). Once I'm satisfied the problems with this one are fixed, I'd like to send you the other if the offer still stands.

Thanks again!
