I'm uploading now..I am really aggravated...I made a backup of my new phone just after unlocking it, and I restored my old phone with the backup, & still no mobile data! If u will look at post 1332 in the forums, I flashed something to remove the TAMPERED & UNLOCKED, it now says "firewater s-off"...maybe that changed something? Also my hboot is different than most..it says:

]This new phone has hboot 2.21.000, and my old phone is hboot 2.20.5555 also the CID-UTSI_005 seems to differ from everyone else's? Could this be what's causing me problems? Could flashing a different radio fix my problem of not getting mobile data?
[HTC Desire 601] jjbadd385:
No. Don't go flashing stuff. Cid is carrier dependent. That's why it's different[/QUOTE]

There has to me something very minor, that would fix this problem. And I've only performed 2 actions...I flashed that hboot file given to me on post 1332, & I flashed your Rom. And both were my fault for not paying better attention! I don't think it's hopeless though...and thanks for your hard work.

A couple posts back i believe Duir uploaded a stock HBoot,with the red text removed only.but thats for the zara_CL.also,i would try seeing if theres a way you can extract the hboot from the new phone you recieved,and have someone make a flashable zip for you.the second option may just very well be the answer to all your problems im not certain.

I did a little research for you bud.i think essentially youre gunna have to copy to boot partition from your new phone and flash it to the old one.however,theres no easy way to do that,it involves getting your hands dirty with terminal commands.your new phone is rooted and s off correct?

[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
Well if you mean an actual ROM. Jmz has one that works well and removes some bloat. I'm currently working on a senseless version and a Miui port, but that's taking some time. I can't get it to flash and I'm trying to figure out why. I think when 4.4 comes out (only two more weeks we think) you'll start seeing more choices pop up.
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
I think he was asking how long did we stay stock before jumping on a rom. I lasted under a week.

question,i am s-off running stock rom, with stock kernel, where can i find a good stable kernel, so that i can unlock my bootloader without bootlooping?thank in adavnce
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
That's not a kernel issue, that's a new "feature". If you want to stop your phone from boot-looping when S-OFF and Unlocked, you need to delete /system/bin/hcheck.

If your running virgin stock the urls to fetch the OTA won't be for rogers. Even if you grabbed the OTA update it would fail because some system files differ between carriers

The CDMA version has NFC and the antenna is in the back cover. Was this phone used when you got it? Sounds like it's s-off since it's saying it's a test phone. Nfc does work however when I had the phone i noticed flashing a different boot.img made nfc not turn on. If phone is used someone may have messed with it. Could also explain it not activating because I also had that issue after fladhing unsecured boot image. I'd run the ruu on it and see if that fixes it.

Has anyone else gotten this app to work properly with the Virgin Mobile Desire 601? I've gotten it to copy the files over, but the pinning results in an error.

Thanks!

edit:

I guess I should also ask if there's an easier way to do what I'm trying to do. Basically I'm looking to install large games on the external card.

For some apps like emulators, it's been easy. I just point them to the external SD card's directory. But for games like the GTA games, it doesn't let me change where the files are installed.

Ignore this, figured it out.

An update on my end just for that senseless rom I was talking about:

Launcher (Widgets and Plugins), Lockscreen (And Plugins), HTC Keyboard, Dropbox, VirginMobile Bloat, Chrome, HtcSetupWizard, various other things.

Added:

Nova Launcher, Google Keyboard, Xposed Framework with Sense5 Toolbox, Aroma Launcher, small small UI changes.

Before I release I've got some small tweaking to do. But I'll hopefully get it out and about tonight,

[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Did you start with your phone in fastboot or did it put your phone there? I ask because you want your phone powered on normal with USB debugging as the error states.
[HTC Desire 601] modifhigher:
Im Pretty Certain you can do it using a "dd" command,the hboot is the boot partition.

So the command would be:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/sdcard/stockhboot.img

The command cat /proc/emmc after su returns the "boot" partition being mmcblk0p31.

Execute this command on your new phone,then use a file browser to copy it to your external sd and put that sdcard into your old phone.

Then,get terminal emulator,and execute this command on the old phone.

dd if=/sdcard/stockhboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31

Make sure the path after "if" is the actual path to your stock hboot file.hope this helps out.

Thanks to mrplowdan also.

I couldnt figure out how to list the partitions by name.

That means it worked. The rebooting is because you're unlocked and S-OFF. You need to delete /system/bin/hcheck to be both or lock the bootloader.
