Amazing, finally running Lollipop!

I bought my HTC One M8 last year at AT&T but I use it outside the US, so I had to S-Off with sunshine, Unlock bootloader and SIM, what caused me to lose the whole capability of installing AT&T's OTA updates, therefore I was stuck at 4.4.2 and would need a lot of work to get the Lollipop using other methods.

The method you stated is quite simple and effective, I just had some doubts because a few tasks just took way too long, as of the RUU loading time in my PC (the app took almost 5 minutes to load!) and as for the 8 minutes of the ROM installation.

Anyway, fma965 I can't thank you enough, everything went well, flawlessly! Keep up the good work!!

I am trying to restore my device to stock but i am unable to. Im trying to use the ruu. but i keep getting the 155 error. I relocked my bootloader but its not working. im using a telus htc one. My hboot is: 2.15.000 and radio 1.13.50.05.31. No os btw

But i can get to the bootloader
[HTC One S] tzzeri:
I might be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, it can't work on a locked bootloader, so you'll need to unlock it again.

Make sure you're using the correct ruu, double read the instructions for flashing it...

That's the most I can say, I don't really have that much experience in this.

Also, another option will be to send the stock ROM.zip to the phone using adb, flash a custom recovery, and boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
[HTC One S] izzyisawesome:
i could have swore that it needed to be locked. and to do adb,i need a os
[HTC One S] izzyisawesome:
still doesnt work
[HTC One S] tzzeri:
If you already have a custom recovery, you can use adb there without an os
[HTC One S] kdd998:
The suggestion to relock the bootloader seems to be confirmed by this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1655832

If you didn't do it, you also need to restore the stock recovery.

I relocked the bootloader. I installed the stock recovery,from another post. i am pretty sure its the right one. yes i keep getting that error

If you want to be sure of the recovery you can find the good one in the RUU. You'll find guides to get the firmware.zip from the RUU on XDA.

Hi there. I'm trying to see which ROMs give better signal (i.e. Sense rom vs. AOSP [lollipop]) and which radios work the best.

I'm on the newest radio and the newest GPE lollipop version but I'm curious as to which radio is the best and whether sense ROMs have a better signal (and speeds) than AOSP does.

Any help is appreciated :)

Contrary to popular belief, ROM/radio/firmware has little effect on cellular signal strength or dataspeeds. Certainly nothing measurable. Some might show more "bars" than others, but the raw signal strength doesn't change significantly.

Hi

I have a dell venue 11 pro win 8.1 i5 tablet and have purchased a Sierra wireless em7355 4g card from eBay.

The card clearly is not a dell version and shows itself as an HP lt4111 which is based on the same em3755 card.

I have tried all the drivers I can find from the likes of dell. HP and Panasonic who use this card but none will install the device - yellow exclamation mark... There are no drivers for this device comment. I assume there is some customisation of the driver or system uids to stop the drivers installing given it is a common chipset.

Is there anything I can do?

If the issue isn't the bootloader, help! How do I get Verizon off my phone?

Thank you all for all the great work!
[XDA Assist] Negan:
Generally you need an LTE sim card and sometimes you need to configure your apn settings in order to access LTE network. You'll need to contact your carrier to confirm that they offer LTE in your area, and also to double check your apn settings.

Bootloader has nothing to do with this.

good luck

Did that work? I'm going to be trying this for a phone my daughter bought a couple of days ago. It's an AT&T S4 that she wants to use on Tmobile.

The phone is on 4.4.4 and using I337ucuFNJ4. She used Ebay unlocking service and said they couldn't do it because of money owed on the previous owners account. She gave me the IMEI and it looks clean (as she did check this online and with AT&T before buying).

How can the phone essentially have a clean IMEI if money is still owed on the account? I'll get it from her on Friday and see what I can do.

Ok so I have the s4 rooted with towelroot and flashed the modem back to NJ4. Everything works fine.

I hate asking for help, but if someone could give a little more detail it would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I first off sorry for your trouble and hope the phone is not damaged buddy.

I used this technique here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guaranteed-free-sim-unlock-mk2-nb1-nc1-t2852979

Odin 3.10 was no longer working for me to flash baseband modem so did it all using safestrap. The files that safestrap uses are zip files and use them like they are (don't unzip them to use) and they are about 22 mb's in size.

The trick for me is it didn't work right away. I had to reflash with safestrap my NJ4 modem and reboot.... and put in the correct APN settings for T-Mobile.

So it does work and hope I can help others that fall into the same problem. If you need help just leave a message in this thread and I've subscribed to it so will get an email letting me know.

The good news - only the battery was burnt.

What boot loader do I have? getprop ro.bootloader returns I337UCUFNJ4 and getprop ro.boot.baseband returns MDM. I presume that MDM is the bootloader version and I337UCUFNJ4 is the modem version.

I'm concerned that the guides and tips are for older versions of the GS4 that don't work on 4.4.4 and may actually do damage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nicetucu:
Ok glad to hear the good news man. The I337UCUFNJ4 is your modem right now.

A nice little free google play store program to use to get info on your phone is called Phone INFO, download it now please.

This will show you all kinds of information on your phone and what you need is to know is Device Type to know which Safestrap to install. Mine or my daughters was klteatt.

Keep in mind I don't have the phone in hand anymore, gave it back to her last night.

What you'll need to download from the modem page link is the I337UCUFNJ4 and the MF3 modems and keep them in their zip format to use. Create a folder on your external sd card ( mine was EXT SD Downloads ) and put both modem zip files in there.

Another program that needs to be installed is called BusyBox and I just used the free version https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

You will need this busybox installed for safestrap to work properly. And also have developer Options activated and check install from unknown sources etc etc (you can do a quick search on this one) it's key to have this done and very quick to do.

Now if you follow the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guaranteed-free-sim-unlock-mk2-nb1-nc1-t2852979

the only thing I did different was flash back the modem MF3 firmware back to the NJ4 that you currently have. APN T-Mobile settings might have auto populated once the card was recognized (I had manually put it in earlier when it didn't work before flashing to NJ4) so not sure.

When safestrap is installed properly it will say so at the top of screen and nothing is greyed out. Do a backup so you can start over if you screw it up. Take like ten minutes or so, no worries.

I've had very little coffee this morning and sorry for being a bit all over the place with this. Let me know how it goes and if you need more help. Good Luck! At least you know it will work, I didn't.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nicetucu:

I don't have a step by step process. I deleted the files and instructions to the many things I tried.

I rooted the phone without any problems by rolling back the modem and using towelroot.

I tried all of the "*#" dialer combinations. They failed.

Next I tried to unlock the hidden menus. When nothing worked, I thought that Knox might have something to do with it so I removed Knox.

I finally noticed that there was no cell phone functionality though everything else worked.

I tried to restore the phone from backups. That failed too.

I tried flashing various modems. No joy.

I did get the GS4 back to its original state excluding the AT&T updates.

When the GS6 is released in a couple of months, I'll buy an unlocked one and put it on T-mobile.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Thanks to the following Devs, I followed their steps: muniz_ri, hashcode, RockRatt, and Chainfire, I take no credit. Sorry for the long post, but this is how I unlocked my S4 running 4.4.4 NJ4 stock:

Step 1. Root NJ4

Follow muniz_ri's instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-root-i337ucufnj4-4-4-4-11-13-2014-t2939553

1. Take the NJ4 OTA update.

2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).

3. Place your phone into "Download Mode" (press and hold the "Home", "Volume Down", and "Power" keys until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press "Volume Up" key) and flash the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

4. Open the Towelroot app from your app drawer and press "Make it Rain" to root your device.

5. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again and flash the I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel also in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).

6. Install SuperSU to manage root access. Done!

Step 2. Install Safestrap

Follow hashcode's instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448925

1. Requirement: Root

2. Requirement: Allow APK install from Unknown Sources

3. Download the Safestrap APK

4. Find the APK using a Filemanager tool and open it on your device, then click "Install".

5. (If updating from an existing Safestrap you might be warned that this will over-write the existing installation. Click the "Yes" equivalent to this message.)

6. Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.

7. Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..

8. Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.

9. From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.

Step 3. User RegionLockAway to unlock

1. Download the following to your phone: MF3 modem zip, NJ4 modem zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2496517 - thanks to RockRatt

2. Download RegionLockAway from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470551 - thanks to Chainfire

3. Once you have both modems and RegionLockAway downloaded to your phone, boot into Safestrap recovery.

4. Install the MF3 modem, and reboot.

5. Once booted into phone, install the RegionLockAway apk.

6. Run RegionLockAway app

7. Reboot once, may not be necessary but I did anyway. At this point I did not have any service.

8. Boot into Safestrap recovery

9. Install the NJ4 modem zip

10. Wipe cache/davlik cache

11. Reboot

12. Go into Network settings, and make sure your correct APN is selected. In my case, there was only one APN, but it was not selected.

13. Once selected, I now had T-Mobile service on a rooted stock AT&T S4 running NJ4.

Hope it helps.
