[HTC Rezound] jasonmerc:
Thanks for the advice, but I'm just not ready to sell this yet. This is more than just any old phone to me, this is like my crowning victory in Android un-bricking. This is the first phone I've succeeded in unbricking, and I just like to show that off to all my friends so to speak. Even the guy I bought this phone from was damn impressed I managed to get it up and running with a ROM again when I showed it to him, let alone how I got it to work with GSM. So this is starting to have some sentimental value to me, just like my old LG Thrive (my first Android, also ironically the first phone I bricked). In fact, if I hadn't got that LG stuck in Emergency Mode, I'd still most likely be using that today. But anyway, thanks for the advice, but I don't plan on selling just yet :)
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
Oh understood keeping it already, just clarifying. You might even consider reversing the tampered flag and using one of the hex edited 2.27 hboot files floating around that says "BOSS" for the bootloader flag one day. Show that off to your friends lol.
[HTC Rezound] jasonmerc:
Sounds interesting. Can you explain to me how to do this? And does this have a risk of bricking the device?
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853871

You'd download to your external SD card's root and rename to simply PH98IMG.zip. Reboot to bootloader and let it detect and flash from there.

The initial risk of brick for hex editing an hboot to add a vanity tag is high *before* testing and confirming. Now these confirmed ones carry only the same risk as any other factory firmware upgrade; just make sure download isn't corrupt and check md5 sums before use.

Haven't had anybody ever report an issue directly stemming from using 2.27 hboot instead of 2.28, however updating to the latest hboot and other firmware available is always suggested traditionally if troubleshooting ROM/phone problems ever come up. I would make sure my ROM is working 100% as I want it on 2.28 firmware then swap the 2.27 hboot in; keep 2.28 handy just in case.
[HTC Rezound] jasonmerc:
Thanks, I think I might try that. I'll do a full nandroid in case anything goes wrong.

Now what I'm about to say next will be a little off-topic, but this is my next step in restoring this phone to perfect condition. The software is back and functioning properly, now I'm going to ask about fixing physical issues.

So I have 2 main issues with the hardware. Not very big problems, but it would be nice if I could fix them. To begin, the battery that's in here currently lasts about an hour on full charge. I looked on Amazon and eBay for a replacement. Pretty much all reviews for listings within the price range I'd like to spend (around $7-$8) are a balanced mix of either 5 stars or 1 star. Some people say it is great, and others say stuff about how the one they got doesn't work any better. Sounds a bit risky. If any of you guys bought a replacement battery for the Rezound online and are satisfied with what you got, can you please send me a link? Amazon would be preferred, but other sites like eBay or NewEgg or something are fine as well.

Also, the glass in front of the camera lens is cracked. It doesn't show up in pictures unless the camera is looking straight into a light source. If possible, could someone give me a link to where I can buy replacement glass, and then instructions as to how I would actually replace it?

EDIT: Moved to a new topic. In conclusion, thanks to all you who helped me out with the software issues with this phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Perry2547:
It was OFF, then after reading this read, I changed it to ON, turned phone off, removed battery, restarted, no data. Waited several minutes, I might add.

Then, I went back in changed it to what it originally stated: OFF. Now everything working.

I'm running cm 11. Would that matter?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totalneewb:
So hi there, i am going to give as much detail as possible so that hopefully someone can help me as i know NOTHING about rooting phones or any of the jargon. So please be patient.

SO...

Bought an HTC desire from gumtree here in the UK about 3 months ago not knowing it was a rooted phone, when the phone started it used to say RC MIX and i know it was on RUNNYMEDE, but i have bno idea which version.

Sadly the SD card has gone BUST leaving me with a hanging screen on the boot screeen (not the white HTC screen but the BEATS screen after the white screen)

SO after ALOT of googling i came across the RUNNYMEDE tutorial and download with had the stable and beta versions so i downloaded the stable version.

Heres where things got a bit funny for me.

After transferring the Runnymede ZIP file to the 4gb sd card and doing the doing the partion ext4 thing it will not allow me to install from zip as it does not find the ZIP file after doing the partition, although before doing the partion the ZIP file showed file in EXT4 recovery. SO me being me i just reformatted the sd card to FAT32, the put the ZIP file onto card and installed runnymede using the installer which al went well.

Then i Transferred the files from sd to PC, Partitioned the SD card and put the stuff BACK onto the SD card from PC.

Sadly none of this has worked for me and ia m at a total loss.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Partitioning ur sdcard wipes it clean, thats why zip file aint there. So partition ur sdcard again, 1gb (1024) ext4 then copy the rom zip to sdcard, then go to wipe/format and press format all partitions except sdcsrd then flash the rom. Should boot fine then.

Huh?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totalneewb:
Thanks for the answers. In the end i went to the top of this forum to troubleshooting and used the TUT and installed Cryro, which is now working great on the phone.

I just need one more teeny bit of help if possible.

Now my SD card is registering as DAMAGED, which its not lol and will not mount (it is fat32 formatted and has zip files for crya mod and runnymede, that is ALL) Can i just format the sd again? Will thephone still run or are there files needed for the phone to boot on the SD card?

I have NO android market app and need it soooooooo bad.. whats the quickest way to get it on there... cheers again.

:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
For runnymede rom u need to make a partition on ur sdcard for the rom to work, because of the size of the rom. So if uv anything on ur sdcard u want to keep then copy it to pc. Now we have to partition ur sdcard, so boot into recovery,

go to tools and choose partition sdcard,

then choose remove all partitions and start from scratch,

then choose 1024,

then press skip then skip again,

it will then ask to choose ext3 or ext4? Choose ext4.

When its finished go to main menu and choose

wipe/format then format all partitions except sdcard.

Once thats done, copy runnymede rom back to sdcard then install the rom and once thats done reboot. First boot will take up to 10 mins so dont pull battery after 5 haha. Theres a guide here on xda by abaaaabbb on how to partition sdcard if u get stuck but ul be fine if u just follow my instructions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totalneewb:
Thanks but as i said i have given up on runnymede and installed cyanogenmod which is working great i can make calls and texts no worries now .

My only issues now are the ones i said above :)

Cheers for the help from a fellow scot lol (well you have the scottish flag)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
haha i am scottish, just living in ireland now. just so u know, if u plan on changing roms them ur probably gona have partition ur sdcard at some point.

Anyway.. so what do u want now? playstore? so with cyanogenmod roms u need to flash g'apps (google apps) in recovery. what cyanogenmod rom did u install?

I think TouchWiz has some nice things, but the bloat is too heavy. CyanogenMod or SlimKat make this phone great.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
Hey guys,

My first time installing cyanogenmod on this particular device (verizon galaxy s4), had an AT&T before.

Whenever I make phone calls or receive phone calls and try to hang up the dialer hangs on "hanging up". At this time the can still be heard until the other person hangs up.

When that happens and the call is ended, the proximity sensor still operates as if I'm in a phone call. My only solution is to reboot the phone everytime.

This did not happen on stock, please help me.

I'm on vruamdk baseband.

happens both in latest monthly snapshot and 20140127-NIGHTLY jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Go to your dialer, press menu, and check your proximity settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
I don't see any proximity settings in the dialer app. Running cm 11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
so you have a verizon S4 with MDK base and loki'd and have a CUSTOM RECOVERY like TWRP or CWM. Is the CM11 download a good file? You checked the MD5 checksum to be good? have you tried to reinstall it?

[HTC One S] HTCExplorerPico:
Hi there!

I just figured out that in "WCDMA Preffered" mode, in call time signal strength reach 16-17 asu makeing screen go crazy, than I simply set "WCDMA Only" and signal strength has stabilized with 12-13 asu or less in call time. The issue dissapear..

You can set it up eighter entering "Test menu" (*#*#3424#*#*) or in "Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode - (WCDMA Only)

NOTE: The setting persist after reset so you don't need to reapply it every time.

Later edit: My test was made in a high signal area from my carrier. Now I'm testing in a lower signal strenght area (neutral zone) and my asu is 6-7 and this is great.

Enjoy your HTC One S
[HTC One S] HTCExplorerPico:
Soo far the issue gone. Keep this up (vote and say thx)
[HTC One S] HTCExplorerPico:
Hi again, after 3 days testing my theory the issue seems to completely gone. I reactivate long press home button eveything is normal.

Ohh.. just a little thing forgot to mention that doing this you lost 2 lines of signal. No more helicopter but -2 lines cover and probably this ain't so helpfull those with allready low cover in some areas. BUT this seems to be the only way to get rid of this issue.

My final decision!

Edit: Please pin my topic!
[HTC One S] scorpionatthepc:
I have tried that but it resets to the default setting when you restart the phone.

EDIT: Seems to stay at that setting now. Will see how it goes.
[HTC One S] HTCExplorerPico:
This issue manifest most often durring calls when gsm signal interact with capacitive sensor. So you can test it very simple by makeing a call even to your free carrier number, put on speaker and tri to browse the web durring call or just play with the menu.. open / close apps..

My One S is not rooted yet and as every one knows HTC didn't update nothing for us. Before knowing about this issue i though my phone have some problems and i need to go to a service or something.. after i heard about the issue.. i was thinking.. mabe HTC will develop some update, but now that i realize that HTC will never do such a thing i was looking for something to stop the issue without doing any sofware changes.

Please keep me up to date about your ROM and if the issue is not comming back, i'll think about a software change..

As a fact you can give us some fresh links with your ROM

Best regards,

I did managed to Unlock / Root / S-OFF my HTC One S, i had some issues with the CWM untill i got a good recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-villec2.img but i still not receive any update from HTC..

Finally the issue is continue to manifest so.. the only thing we can do at this moment is switching to "WCDMA Only" as i sayd before.

This is a hardware issue that i read about .. there are 2 HTC One S models (probably motherboard series) and one of them has this issue.. so do what i did and stop searching for answers, this is the only way without risking of bricking your device or void your warranty searching for a better solution.
