[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
the only thing that makes it seem different is that it worked before i messed something up

i can try another cable

i have a few old verizon cables, but my DNA cable is a little frayed, i can try it now

EDIT:

different cable doesnt work, i might try my sister's win7

the different cable actually makes it worse by disabling adb aswell

EDIT2:

is it possible that my fastboot doesnt work because my bootloader is locked?

EDIT 3:

apparently now i cant access my internal storage at all,

root browser tells me that google play store crashed (as does google play store)

cyanogenmod's file browser doesnt show any files or folders at all

the computer just shows internal storage but no folders inside that

adb says no folders exist except /storage/emulated/0/ which is read only and inaccessible

google chrome tells me that i dont have SD card(that was the one that scared me)

TWRP tells me that it cant mount any directory(cant wipe /cache)

i also recently cleaned out my downloads folder and backups folders(expecing that i could just RUU just like that)

i think i might have just messed up my phone horriblely

the worst part is i have no idea how to put it back to stock for warranty or mess it up badly enough that they wont know

i can format the internal SD from recovery but i cant acess my cache partition, so i cant flash anything

i also cant setup my rom because android.proess.media keeps crashing so now my phone is completely unusable :crying: :crying: :crying:

i did however back up my entire SD before i attempted to RUU so i got that going for me which is nice :eek:

EDIT 4: managed to finish setting up my phone and enable usb debugging in between the crashing process notifications(ugh) so now i have a slightly working phone with adb again

FIX: lol its linux

apprently fastboot is now a windows problem...

ubuntu picks up both

i also fixed my no sd card error(though im not quite sure how)

what should i do? use the first RUU(utility in wine?(help me configure wine)) the second flashing one?
[HTC Droid DNA] sassmk2:
Ok. Well as far as flashing which RUU I'm not sure. I would go with the one that is newer myself. I don't use wine so can't help you there. I hope you can figure it out. Good luck.
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
yeah i went with the multiple flashings because i dont know how to wine either everytime i tried nothing would work

i got everything to work this time and my phone is fully stock

this has been a helluva morning, i went from a $50 paperweight too the most stok my phone has ever been, seems like a big waste of time i just went through...

now i just have to wait to update it to kitkat, then firewater back :angel: thanks [MENTION=3766545].torrented[/MENTION] for the RUU's and alternates
[HTC Droid DNA] sassmk2:
Awesome. Glad u got it figured out!
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
quick question to you, does your boot loader say ***LOCKED*** at the top of it?

and did you use firewater?

i used firewater and seemed like it worked just a little too well

it says S-OFF

i have root but i get an error when trying to flash recovery

im just not sure...

sending 'recovery' (8758 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.168s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.203s

EDIT: nevermind doesnt matter, just used rom manager and it flashed just fine
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
What radio do you guys find to be the best? I decided to try the latest, but it seems like it doesn't like to hop towers as well as others, and I'm wondering if it's the cause for me sending double SMS to some people.

I know, kind of subjective, but opinions are nice :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Mav3rick40:
Try updating the roaming capabilities or whatever it's called. I had the same issue too when I updated to the latest version and that's what I did and everything is all good now. Hope this helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
Thanks! I called *228, option 2. My Sim card reset mid call, rebooted to get the phone to realize the call ended. Welp, we'll see what happens. Thank you!
[HTC Droid DNA] Mav3rick40:
Your welcome.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
FYI:

*228 fries Verizon LTE sim cards and should not be performed.

You will probably need a new one now.

This is not necessary for 4G lte sim cards on Verizon, they provision automatically on reboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mav3rick40:
No that's not true I called Verizon up and they told me that my phone needed updated it hadn't been done in over a year and I reboot my phone everyday. You are supposed to shut it off for 1 to 2 minutes and turn it back on. And for the *228 frying the sim I haven't and I did the *228 2 or 3 times and my sim card is fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
You may not agree, but that is what I know to be true.

Whoever you spoke to at Verizon, was misinformed, or didn't pay attention during training.

Glad it didn't hurt your sim any. I'd say you've been lucky...
[HTC Droid DNA] Epiel:
any solution?
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
Yarp. I get LTE for about a minute, then it kicks down to 3G. Airplane mode cycle and repeat. :(
[HTC Droid DNA] Mav3rick40:
Shutdown your phone and leave it off for 2 minutes and turn it back on. If that doesn't work call Verizon and they can push it from their end. That's what I had to do.
[HTC Droid DNA] supertoast92:
Thanks for the reply, but still no good, at least with shutting the phone down. I let the SIM card sit out of the phone for those few minutes as well.

Now here's something interesting: I changed my preferred band setting (running CM11) to LTE/WCDMA, which supposedly is 4G LTE and 3G, respectively. So far, LTE has held. But my phone has been on the Global setting for the longest time, so I might just pay a visit to the VZ store on my way home from work tomorrow to see if I can beg them for a new SIM card, since I probably won't be able to get 2G/1G signal on this current setting. At least, I don't think I will. And it probably doesn't matter, as I'm usually around LTE, let alone 3G, coverage... :confused:

Edit: Nope, dropped to 1X after about 15 minutes of LTE. To VZ I go!

4.4.2 RUU

Just curious if there's a RUU out for the DNA. I'm S-ON and Locked. Tried flashing Santod040's RUU and the second piece of teh update failed thus I'm stuck with the firmware and no ROM. I really NEED a device functioning before mid August. I'm visually impaired and my phone acts as a camera for reading text. (I need at least size 36 or above). Figured since NuSense was so good that I'd trust the stability of the RUU that Santod released. Any help is greatly appreciated. I need it working before the 12th if anyone was curious.

My CID:

VZW_001

Locked (no tampered or relocked)

S-ON

Hboots the latest as well as recovery

Anyone? Really need my DNA working.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
4.4.2 RUU

Super sad to see such a purposeful thread go down the drain. The developers were all in a situation similar to mine at once, but the difference there was a fix. Could someone not upload the ROM or something at the very least. I feel as if the devs are abandoning the DNA, because it is obsolete to them. At some point I was promised a fix, but here I am now a couple months later looking for it and the original thread where I received the RUU packages was removed due to some idiocy that the RUU no longer meant crap because HTC and Verizon could shake their hands on something. The sad part of it a;; is there were probably tens of people in my situation with my device, but no does anything for it. Screw the M8 if I can't afford an upgrade. Verizon never responded to my situation either when it was THEIR cracked RUU. never received the update in April so I rooted and then went back to stock. Then this happened. Not to mention I'm in school in about a week without a phone for my work. Being legally blind in a non disabled school is hard when you can't see! Just someone who could upload the stock OEM ROM would be nice. Is anyone working on this or are they abandoning this device?
[HTC Droid DNA] Colomonster:
I have one somewhere on my computer I'll dig it up and post it before the 12th

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I believe you are supposed to flat that ruu twice the fact that out fails one is in the OP if I remember correctly. Terry flashing it again after the fall.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
4.4.2 RUU

No luck. Thank you for responding. Do you think that since I am locked and S-ON the OEM 4.4.2 ROM could be flashed?

It would be nice if you could upload before the 12th. Once again thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] Colomonster:
Go s-off first if your are running. Fw:2.16.xxxx you can still use module

[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
There is nothing to work on or abandon.

HTC makes the Oem signed stock roms.

They haven't provided anything newer then the last RUU which did not work out.

It has the same issue as the last stock rom/ruu they had for the Verizon m7.

I have posted every ruu up until the Sense 6 update for the m7 and they all worked 100% as intended/expected.

The last one for the Dna and the m7 on Verizon, have the same problem.

it's not something that any developer can fix for you, even if they wanted to.

So to blame it on the developers abandoning the device, is not accurate.

I also highly doubt that anyone would "promise" to supply you with an Ruu that HTC doesn't even make a habit of making available for Verizon devices in the first place.

I am truly sorry that you are stuck and having an issue.

But there is nobody here in these forums to blame.

In fact it almost seems that blame has been tossed my way for posting what I did.

I stated when I posted it, that it had not been tested by me and I couldn't guarantee any specific outcome.

Due to the fact I wasn't sure if it would work out or not, I was hesitant to post it to begin with.

Only reason I even did, was there were folks that were already on the latest firmware, with no OS, and s-on, with no way to unlock or do anything with their device.

So for those folks, they had nothing to lose by trying it.

My roms are always tested and stable and safe for your device.

But when the file comes from a manufacturer or elsewhere and I state that you are flashing at your own risk, that's exactly what I mean.

The OP is still around as well, but there is nothing more he can do for your situation either.

I hope for your sake, that a new RUU comes about, but seeing as this device is now discontinued by HTC, I kind of doubt that it will.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Thanks

It isn't your fault. I just somehow need to find a device and fast :) (for cheap too)
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
4.4.2 RUU

Would an odexed ROM be flash able?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
If your boot loader is locked and you are s-on, you can't flash any custom Rom, odex, deodex, doesn't matter.

You have to use a signed, encrypted, factory image.

The device won't accept anything less, while locked up.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
So long and thanks for all the fish

Sad to see my device go. Just got it in April. Even more sad that I can't afford a new one. hTC made such a great phone. Mine could overclock up to 1.9 ghz stably and is a better device IMHO than the Galaxy S5. Guess I'll just be using my iPad Air as an over sized phone and CCTV for now. Really hope hTC fixes this, but with the device now not having support I don't know what I'll do. Maybe Project Ara will replace it come January? Best device ever. Even more so than my maxed out Precision 690 I'm building (first build too). If hTC can't fix this then I can't develop android apps and tons of other stuff I planned. It's unfortunate that the M7 is facing this too. These are great phones and their developers are equally as great. What's the point of HTCDEV if I can't update using the latest RUU or go back to stock using it? I saw a Note 2 for $0.99 on eBay. Maybe I'll get one of those (hate the feel of plastic though). Thanks to all the devs who helped me, and others. It would be great though if someone could point in the direction of how I can contact hTC on this.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
JTAG

Saw a JTAG service for $25. Would this work?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
That sounds fairly cheap for Jtag service, but yeah, Jtag would work.
[HTC Droid DNA] Colomonster:
I agree, go with a trusted source.
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
JTAG

Does this seem legit:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-DEBRICK...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item27e6d8b812
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Hard to say, can't find much info about that company.

I did find their website which lists their services, but they seem to be mainly PC oriented and mention nothing about Jtag on their site.

I think using a company with no real amount of online reviews and feedback is risky in itself.

But that doesn't mean that they are not legitimate or that you shouldn't go with them.

It's really up to you.

If you want to spend a bit more and go with a reputable company, that has been doing this for quite some time, on many devices:

Then you might wanna check out: mobiletechvideos
[HTC Droid DNA] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
JTAG

Think iI'll go with mobiletechvideos. Higher chance my device will arrive in its original condition. Thanks all for helping me and hopefully others with the same issue. I'll make sure to wait for more experienced developers to test firmware and software before I do. Funny that I have had the previous three years experience with Linux, but can't fix my Android device's firmware. Keeping it S-OFF for good.

update to 4.4

How can i update to stock 4.4.2 kitkate android version on my droid dna outside usa

Im currently running 4.2.2 no off or bootloader unlock

Any help would be appreciated as always
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Two ways:

1) Unlock the deivce and flash a stock 4.4.2 ROM

or

2) Come to the US and connect to VZW's network

Best bet would be option 1.

(option 2 was meant for humor, not sarcasm)
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
The highlighted red section is not needed after you unlock the deivce, it was meant for people to return to stock or run the RUU (which is for going to a stock device)
[HTC Droid DNA] schoolguy_10:
unlock??

Thanks fr the reply man but what do you mean by unlock? Booloader??

And yes i wanna flash a stock 4.4 rom im on 3.06.605.4 firmware
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Yes, you will need to unlock the bootloader, best bet would be firewater s-off method
[HTC Droid DNA] princesaravanan:
help

I would like to install the update 4.2.2 with sense 5 ,but before i need to unlock and s-off...OK........i am not going for moonshine.

For firewater method, which option i need to select: (htc droid dna)

1.Instructions (normal, rooted device method)

2.Instructions (WeakSauce method - some m8 models and maybe others)

3.Instructions (temp-root method)..

After unlock and s-off Next is:

Step1: fastboot oem rebootRUU

Step2: fastboot flash zip PL83IMG_#.##_hboot.zip ---> 3.06.605.4 hboot (1.54.0000)

Step3: fastboot flash zip PL83IMG_#.##_Radio.zip ---> 3.06.605.4 Radio (1.01.01.1112)

Step4: fastboot reboot-bootloader

Next what step i need to choose..........
[HTC Droid DNA] schoolguy_10:

i wanna update my hboot version to latest one ! is it possible to just flash this new hboot version without updating baseband (radio)

i am getting good reception and good wiifi signals ! i dont wanna change anything in radio !

just wanna flash 4.4.2 rooted stock !

kindly reply ! also suggest the lastest hboot to flash !

also i need to back up my radio image for a safe side ! how to back up radio image ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
You can update your hboot without flashing a new radio. Just a warning, the hboot flash is for the Verizon variant and may cause you some issues.

The latest DNA hboot is 1.57.

hi there im trying to dwon grade my dna back to stock or any other firmware right now im stock in hboot 1.57 im s-off and i and relock because it ask me to lock my booth loader so i can flash to recovery but every time time i run ruu i get error 155 idk how to fix this can anyone help me
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
With s-off there was no need to relock. Unlock using the adb command and try to flash recovery again.

What specifically asked to relock?
[HTC Droid DNA] azteca1:
It ask me to relock bootloader and that's what I did but when I run the ruu it fails
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
What is it? The exe? Are you S-on or off? You likely need to flash the hboot first and then the ruu.
[HTC Droid DNA] azteca1:
Yes is the exe and I'm s-off but my my bootloader relock I find out that I had to flash the hboot but I dont know how to flash the hboot or get the drivers for it if you can help me with that I'll appreciate

Yes please someone help!!!! Already tried rumrunner and firewater, both don't work. Can't find moonshine online. The only way is sunshine, but it's too expensive, please someone help with a free way to do this!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Sunshine is the only method.

moonshine would only work on older firmwares. For the up to date version, only sunshine will work. There most likely not be a free method. Each time HTC closes an exploit, it makes it that much harder for the exploiters to find another security hole. HTC usually allows unlock codes for bootloaders, but Verizon gave them a cease and desist. Blame Verizon for our phones not being as easily unlocked as other carrier HTC devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] ghstrdr1985:
Verizon is only good for one thing: service. Other than that, they suck. Their prices aren't that great, selection of devices can sometimes be mediocre, & this whole deal with bootloaders, it's almost a deal breaker.
