[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister_tu:
Hi,

This is my first post but, I'm an avid lurker. I am having some issues with my girlfriends 920i. It received an OTA update to marshmallow and ever since it won't read the Sim card. I've tried to flash the official fw through Odin and still having the same problem. Because it doesn't read my Sim card, I have zero access to any mobile network settings.

I am wondering if when they updated the marshmallow, I lost unlock capability.

Also, her imei and sn still match. Most of the problems I see people have are mismatched numbers, and her phone seems fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mister_tu:
So, I checked the firmware that I flashed and it was INS which seems to be the locked version.

I flashed the INU firmware this morning but still not reading my SIM.

I'm out of options at this point, I'm going to go back to lollipop and see how that goes.

Hi,

I am having this issue for my SM G-920I since 2/3 Jan, 2017. I am using fine on US Tmobile network since Oct 2015, but all of a sudden got the no SIM, emergency calls only and continues to stay like this.. I am curious to know if you resolved the issue and how. Thanks for any feedback!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyoo x:
Help me please

I'm having the same issue. Just flashed INS 6.0.1 firmware on my brand new G920I and now i can't get any mobile signal or data. Tried to flash ZTO firmware for my country, but same issue. My phone was fine before flashing INS firmware. IMEI it's fine too. Recovery shows: Applied multi-csc. What can i do? :(((((((((((
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upengan78:
Do you also see: " No SIM, Emergency calls only" after rebooting the phone? What's the baseband version ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyoo x:
Thank you so much for helping me. Baseband version shows: G920IDVU3EPIF

I see only Emergency Calls Only message
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upengan78:
Try to connect to Wi-Fi only and once connected, check if there are updates for Software/Firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyoo x:
Already updated and tried to downgrade to 5.1.1, but no sucess. I don't think it's a hw problem, cause it was working before the INS firmware flash, and IMEI number still shows right, no matter what rom i flash (now on MIUI). Can i clean EFS partition and try to flash ZTO firmware again, or i might lost my IMEI and get more problems? Also, wondering if advanced wipe with everything checked on TWRP can help. (data, internal storage, system, sbfs, cache, dalvik cache)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upengan78:
Can you open the phone dialer and enter this code *#*#4636#*#* then clikc Phone Information, and send a screenshot of what you see in the screen (Make sure no IMEI in the screenshot, before you post it here) ? Also check if Radio is OFF or ON.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyoo x:
Codes on my dialer doesn't work, but i'm sure the IMEI is right cause it's showing in phone information. Also, radio is on cause when i search for mobile networks the carriers of my country appears on the screen but when i click on then, just appears a message saying that can't connect

Same problem, any solutions?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
I had same issue for over a year, you can check details in my thread, resolved by factory warranty motherboard replacement (free of charge, even thou knox was tripped when I bought it, and I told lady in authorised repair shop that i don`t have warranty).

Forgot to mention that I also tried to repair it via Octoplus box, both by me and some other people (wanted a second opinion), DRK fixed, few new certs written, etc.), not only by flashing fw via Odin or Smart Switch.

And I was 99% sure it was hw, turns I was right. ;)

P.S. country dependable: - in some countries they will probably want to sell you a new motherboard in Samsung (happened to me), but in other factory warranty will be accepted (probably, if the phone is not older than 3 yrs I guess)

[GUIDE] Safely set your bootloader back to "LOCKED" from "UNLOCKED" or "RELOCKED"

*EDIT*

A percent of those that went S-OFF/LOCKED with SunShine 3.3.8 will have kernel flashing issues. We addressed this in 3.3.9 (released May 28th 2016 5PM PST).

Either go back s-on/unlocked and redo sunshine (may throw an error, if it does lmk and i can fix on server) or go s-off unlocked. This was one of those errors that only occurs on other people's phones, so it was a PITA to track down.

*EDIT*

HTC has made some changes into how the lock status are handled. The old methods are no longer safe, and can/will revert on you, or damage your device.

To deal with this we added a feature to SunShine to allow you to pick your bootloader status.

On the HTC 10 S-OFF LOCKED will behave the same as S-OFF UNLOCKED in addition to having all the S-OFF perks.

To get back LOCKED, make sure your phone is UNLOCKED and S-ON. Run SunShine, pick the "S-OFF LOCKED" Status, and let it complete.

At this point, if you want to go s-on, then you can flash your stock RUU and run "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" in download mode.

We currently recommend the S-OFF LOCKED status, as S-OFF will force the device to behave unlocked anyways.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
If I debranded from tmobile germany to wwe (....401..), did I have to go back to tmob or is it ok to set it s-on in wwe?

that I can go back to s-off with my license, I know
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Does this work if one's already S-OFF/Unlocked?

First step would then be to set the secure flag to S-ON and run SunShine again, as I'd assume!? Am I right?

Thanks for taking your time and for your hard work on this great app.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] with S-off & locked option, will I still have to format data in TWRP after I s-off like with previous version?

I have a German t-mob101. Is it currently possible to go s-off debranded and then back to s-on locked t-mob101? Considering that there is no RUU for it, I would only have a nandroid backup.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
So when we have already "SunShined" the 10 to S-Off and unlocked we should simply lock the Bootloader with fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and let SunShine do its job again?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
Long as you are stock, it shouldnt matter

You have to go s-on before doing this. If you have no reason to go LOCKED, no reason to go through the hassle until you do.

Yes

Doesnt matter, if you need LOCKED in the future, go s-on, and re-run sunshine, but wait until you need it.

Yes, go stock first.

Yes but dont bother unless you need LOCKED, no point in going through the hassle at this point.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Wow, thx for your reply jcase.

I've just read that the license ist bound to the hardware (think motherboard) and can be reused.

So "until you need it" apparently means in terms of warranty?

Or is there another reason where locked is really needed?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Well, I got S-Off but haven't really done much with the phone yet, so RUU'ing, going back to S-On and re-running SunShine to set bootloader to LOCKED right now seems less of a hassle than doing it in the future when things need to be backed up.

However, I'm somewhat paranoid about going back to S-On. I remember than on M7 / M8 / M9 it was generally not recommended as there was at least a theoretical possibility that an RUU would not return the phone to a completely stock state and you'd get a hard brick on first boot. Is this no longer a concern?

Also, I seem to have a vague recollection that flashing an RUU zip from external was preferred to just running an executable RUU from a PC, as the latter might still skip some partitions under certain conditions. True / false?

Lastly, does this thread basically mean that the good old way of changing the LOCKED and TAMPERED / Software Status: Modified flags (M7 LOCKED, M8 LOCKED, M8 TAMPERED, M9 LOCKED, M9 SS:Modified) isn't safe on HTC 10? Also, does the SS:Modified flag even get triggered on HTC 10 when S-Off?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcase:
It is still not recommended to go s-on.

I would just stay s-off/unlocked for now no point
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Gotcha. Well, I'm still within the return period, so if I were ever to go back to LOCKED, now seems to be the time.

Any comment on the preferred way to RUU (zip vs exe), the old way of flag resetting with adb echo and triggering of the Modified flag on HTC 10?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
RUU will clear tamper flag. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended to not try to do that manually.

--beaups
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Right, but are you advising against writing the tamper flag value as a general recommendation for all HTC One iterations or is that a new thing unique to HTC 10? Couple posts above I linked the M8 / M9 threads for doing exactly that, didn't seem to have any negative side effects.

My other question was regarding what actually triggers the tamper flag on the 10. I remember couple of weeks ago [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] was saying that it doesn't even get tripped when S-Off, again unlike the way it worked on M8 / M9.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
S-OFF isn't what tripped that flag on those other devices either....it never has been. Which is why running an RUU clears it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Guess I didn't word my interpretation of your statement unambiguously. I meant that I think you said that on the 10, after gaining S-OFF, nothing trips the tampered flag. This is unlike having S-OFF on M8 / M9, where the tampered flag could still be tripped after gaining S-OFF.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Captain_Throwback:
I couldn't trip that flag after S-OFF on those devices. You sure about that?

If it was tripped prior to S-OFF, I don't think S-OFF would clear it (though I'm not sure about that), but if it was official prior to S-OFF, it wouldn't get tripped afterwards, at least not in my experience.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] beaups:
Flash stock ruu. Set s-on. Use sunshine and choose the s-off/locked option.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
are you sure that they will recognize it?

I send my SOffed M8 once for repair, 3 times, without any problems.

german provider.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
I am not really sure. If they recognize it, i think they don't repair it for free. I got still warranty on it.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
hmmm? maybe there changed something, in sunshine, but I did like you.

SOFF unlocked bootloader and SuperCID for my 10 and read that soff locked is maybe better. so I used Sunshine again to go unSOFF and afterwards SOFF with locked bootloader.

But be careful! You need the signed bootloader and not that one without the red warning, cause then you could brick your device.

my steps was run a RUU. Then used sunshine.

but maybe you wait for another answer, caused the last time I read this thread is far away.

Do not want that you run in trouble cause off my lacking knowledge

But, If they do not repair it for free, they will call you and you could do it then and send it for repair again?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
Ok

I must pay sunshine again to go s-on?

The thing is, i don't know which ruu i must use.

Gesendet von meinem HTC 10 mit Tapatalk
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
no it recognize the device and your PayPal account. You pay only for one device.

only if they changed the PCB at repair (new IMEI) you have to pay again for SOFF

BUT BE CAREFUL IF YOU GO unSOFF that you run something unsigned!!!

beaups and jcase could help you more with it
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
k. thank you. hope they can help me. :)

btw.

"software status: official" in boot loader.

"security warning; if you flash this phone with any rom that was not officially released by htc you take the risk of releasing your personal and financial info to unknown sources." in dl mode

"on boot i get a warning too. this build is for dev purpose only do not distribute outside...."
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
In my case I had to tell them what part was broken, cause they only exchanged unassary parts, twice, which not was broken..

so my opinion, they cook also only with warm water...

repair center was Arvato

did come the warning also if you use a RUU to go stock?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
my problem is, that i get random reboots which end in bootloops when my battery goes to about 30%. but not everytime. sometimes i can go under 20% and nothing happens. it shut down by himself; then try to restart. after a few secs it shuts down and restart again. and then loop till i use the buttons to go to recovery or plug it with the cable to the charger.

i use the viper rom.

and now when i send it to my provider (cause they repair it); i don't want to risk my chance for a repair. if they see it's rooted etc. they will not fix it for free - thats my fear.

nah; i did not try a ruu yet cause i don't know which i must use.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wiQbold:
we go off topic now. Pm me.

but if you SOFF and supercid you can use every RUU, for my opinion. It will also check if your CID matches right. (use a zip that you copy to your sdcard, instead of a Windows RUU, before you ran in Windows related problems)

but Switzerland, you can go WWE..

2.41.401.41 seems to be good for that..

maybe it is only a rom related problem?

did you ask in the Viper Thread, for this behavior?

I had two times the same behavior, I think cause why I updated magisk.? after a dirty flash, I fixed it.

(I am on MaximusHD)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
ok. i will try that.

seems not; i asked in the thread; there are other ppl with same problems. they say it's probably the age of the battery. so i hope they will change the battery in repair center. i flashed the newest version of the rom several times; same effect.

edit: [MENTION=1312247]wiQbold[/MENTION]

ok tested it. the ruu you provided was not working; could not flash it. so i used this one: 2.41.617.3 from here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked

it worked. my phone is now english only; could not choose german. but get this to work with morelocale2 > after reboot; back on english only

but now i'm still unlocked & s-off

CID 11111111

MID 2PS650000

OS 2.51.617.32

"C:\platform-tools>fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.054s"

could not lock my bootloader; so i can't use sunshine.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
Ok I haven't followed your whole discussion but, you shouldn't try going to s-on while having supercid.

Also, you're running U.S Unlocked software on a phone you got from Switzerland? Yeah, that will definitely be a sign that you modified the software to anyone that would care to check.

And last, are you entering that fastboot command from download mode?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
flashed now this one:

2PS6IMG_PERFUME_UHL_M60_SENSE80GP_Vodafone_CH-DE_1.21.166.4_R_Radio_1.0.U010013@60331.4_41.13_F_release_477457_signed_2_4.zip

after several otas (no more available), it looks like this

unlocked

s-off

cid 11111111

mid 2ps620000

os 2.41.166.31

so i should be able to change my cid to VODAP110 and get back to s-on & locked?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tarima:
CID VODAP110 and mid are the original ones for your phone? And the ruu you ran is the correct one for that cid? Just make sure that is the case.

If the above is true, and you're fully stock with no further modifications to your system after doing the ruu+updates, then yes, you should change your CID back to the original and then be able to do the procedure for going s-on locked.

Edit: Actually I'm thinking that once you back to s-on/unlocked and then try to go back to s-off/Locked (as described in the op), you will have to root your phone first since I don't think temproot (needed by sunshine) works on 2.41. You'd have to ruu again after that to remove any trace of root.

This is what I would do:

1) change your CID back to stock.

2) run the 1.21 ruu

3) run the steps in the OP to go s-on/locked
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidler92:
Thank you. thats exactly what I did. Now I'm back stock with locked and s-on. Ota updates works too.

Can someone refresh my memory? For safety I will update my Stock rom from RUU ZIP. It`s possibile to do with S-OFF or only from S-ON?

Or maybe best way is Restore Stock: system, boot, recovery partition from TWRP and than change flag from s-off to s-on by fastboot oem writesecureflag 3?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Well, I don't remember the exact sequence of events for my M8 (used firewater, so it was a long time ago), but on the M9 I flashed the latest RUU, then unlocked and ran Sunshine, then flashed BB ROM and had to clear the tampered flag. I guess it could have been tripped when rooting prior to Sunshine, so you may be correct and I'm just misinterpreting the way it behaved on M8 and M9 because I didn't RUU after Sunshine.

---------- Post added at 07:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

On the other hand, I went through the exact same sequence of actions when S-OFF'ing the 10 as when doing the M9, and it tripped the tampered flag on the M9 and not on the 10.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Black-FR:
On the m7/m8/m9 the tampered flag was only triggered, while you are S-ON.

E.g. while flashing a custom recovery.

As soon as you went S-OFF, the flag won't be triggered again.

And to reset it back to "official" a flash of a ruu was enough.

On the 10, the tampered flag didn't get triggered for me at all and it's still official.

But I guess, we are here pretty much off topic
