correct RUU link needed for H3G UK three mobile for SLCD

Hi

Sorry to bother you mate

but I hope you are the one who can help me out

I just installed the RUU from one of your thread on my htc deisre .93 Hboot, clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.0 radio rom 32.44, and then i installed RUU for H3G UK and now my phone's display is gone as i can feel vibration, lights working but touch screen is not working

I am not sure if my touch screen is SLCD/AMOLED and there is not specified on RUU links if they are for SLCD/AMOLED.

Even I can not send it back to three.co.uk as I am not sure if on the phone three software is installed including recovery, radio etc or some custom rom.

I will be glad if you could reply to me and send me some link of both SLCD and AMOLED displays RUU.

Many Thanks

Raj

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
So today I went to the Sprint store to have my screen replaced, but upon doing so, somehow the technician made it so the device will no longer power on. She tried 2 different screens, so I said to just put the orignal back on so I at least have a working phone. The device still does not power on. I've noticed that the power button no longer has a clicking sense to it like it once did and it now easily sinks into the device. It seems like it just sinks right into the phone, but no matter how hard you press it, or how fine you press it (fingernail) it just won't turn on. Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there anything I can do to fix this myself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Why did you let the tech give you a phone that doesn't power on? Get a full replacement phone. I'm sure it's just a spring clip or something that didn't get replaced quite right, but whoever did the service obviously has insufficient skills to be performing repairs.

Besides, if you try to take your phone apart yourself, you'll void the warranty.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
1. There are no Evos in stock. They are currently waiting for them to get back in stock so they can order a replacement. The problem is I'm away on business and need a phone.

2. The phone has already been opened, there would be no way for them to tell whether I did it or the techs did. I have a receipt for the repair order if it comes to them accusing it was me.

3. I'm looking for ways to get my phone powered back on. I appreciate your help, but I really just need answers to my question, nothing else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
call mgt or walk in and talk to mgt. the store tech made the device nonfuntional, then the store needs to ensure that you have a communications device for your trip and a brand new EVO waiting for you when you return to your home city. perhaps you don't travel with a EVO this trip.

i don't understand why you would walk out of the store without a phone given the situation you describe. i would strongly advise having a different tech break down and rewiew your EVO. perhaps she put it together wrong (if you're lucky).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
She tried it 3 different times, I doubt she would have messed up 3 different times. Also, do you not understand that Evos are still sold out...everywhere! I walked out of the store without a phone because they didn't have one to give me. What's hard to understand about that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
I also don't understand how you can just leave the store without a functioning phone. They (in my eyes) bricked the phone, meaning it doesn't turn on at all. They should have scoured the area, calling other stores, repair centers in the area to get you a working evo (while you're waiting for a replacement).

I hope things work out for you. I'm waiting for a replacement phone and the store told me it would be less than a week wait. I had them activate an old phone for me (that I brought with me)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
And even if they don't have an Evo to give you, they should be able to give you something comparable as a temp phone. You could almost have a legal issue here if their screw-up is causing your work to suffer.

If you're hell-bent on fixing it yourself, just open it up and see what you can see. Or I think there is a tear-down video somewhere from when the Evo first launched. Google it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
Well I opened it up and sure enough the button for the power was broken inside. The part that the external button presses into was snapped off somehow. So now the external button doesn't contact it. Not sure how the tech could not have discovered that herself, considering she did it. First I tried to remove it and replace it with one from the volume rocker, but decided that for now, I'm leaving the two top screws on the phone removed and using a needle to trigger the power button.

I at least have a working phone and can hold out for a replacement when they get back in stock. Yes I shouldn't have left with a phone, but this is Sprint. When asking about a loaner, they told me they could only replace it with the same phone, even for loan. It just baffles me how this company could not leave enough phones in the warehouse for replacements. It's quite simple Sprint, stop being greedy and shipping out every phone for sales. That way you can service the current customers you have that have already been paying you. It's no wonder you keep losing customers each quarter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
They "serviced" you alright.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i understand that when i was in sales my phone was as important as the shoes on my feet. i would not have walked out without a working phone. evo or not. the sprint folks can fix their screwup.

whats hard to understand is why you cowed under and meekly walked out the door.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indianacurly:
hate to judge, but I kinda agree. prolly would have figuratively broken that place up before I left. at the very least, the mgr would have gone home tonight and kicked his dog
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
I didn't. What part of they didn't have any do you people not understand?

"Oh yes, well I'm going raise my voice act all mighty and tough a demand you just whip up an Evo right here and now. Come on, don't try to bull**** me, I know there must be someone here that can build those outside of it's normal manufacture plant!" I didn't meekly walk out the door, they just didn't have any. You may take the I'm an asshole customer approach, but I've learned through many years in retail that it doesn't get you anywhere. Just like it wouldn't have gotten me anywhere cause again, ranting and raving isn't magically going to make an Evo pop up in that store.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indianacurly:
you're a good person. I wouldn't have left the store without an equivalent replacement
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indiearmy:
You probably would have, because they didn't have any. Also, I was probably 75% sure I could fix it myself, or at least get a temp fix going like I describe I've done. It wasn't worth the hassle to me knowing I could fix it within the hour myself.
[HTC Tornado] kviaff:
hey all.i have problem with my htc tornado.so i triyed to update rom,and i have "data crashes" when sim card inserted.so what i must to do with my phone?i tried to use any unlockers for that and any ROM's,but it still data crashes.

so what should i do with that?
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
Here is your answer:(
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
As gutek85 already pointed to my post, let me add that your problem has nothing to do with ROM upgrades. ROM upgrades (aka "flashing") have different parts you usually do not touch (Splash-Screen, Radio + Low-Level-loaders: IPL and SPL) and those that you want to change (OS - aka "Windows Version").

None of those are touching the "encrypted block".

When getting a device from anyone, always check if the device can work with your SIM Card. If you get the "data crashes" message - see the post referenced. If you get a message about entering an unlock code then your device is SIM locked.

The Lokiwiz tooling can remedy this problem and (if applied correctly and with care) supply you a SIM unlocked and CID unlocked device.
[HTC Tornado] kviaff:
i was bought this phone and unlock it with code one year ago..

i think its need some soft operation
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
The diagnosis is 100% sure. If you have the message "data crashes..." when inserting your SIM and trying to get Radio contact, then your encrypted block IS corrupted. If everything was ok after you unlocked the device, why did you bother to do something more to that? What went wrong? I never had problems with lokiwiz - enough written about it in my kitchen post.

Please mind that to my knowledge all tools dealing with unlocking (lokiwiz or wizardunlock, which does not work on my Tornados) are reading the whole encrypted block (just 64k), modify something inside (either remove CID lock or remove SIM Lock - some even claim to change the IMEI) and then write back the whole block. So if anything goes wrong to the things these tools are writing in the encrypted block, your only way to get back is to restore the original block. If you do not have it any longer - you are lost if on your own. You can play around for hours or days (and fail) or pay 10GBP to the imei-check.uk guys and you are done - your choice.

Luckily you can still use the device as a WinMo music player or alike - just GSM Radio will not work as long as your encrypted block is broken.
[HTC Tornado] kviaff:
i can pay 10 GBP...they send me block's or they send me code only?
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
look it up here: http://imei-check.co.uk/c600_unlock.php

C600 is one of the many Tornado variants - it will work for you as well.
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
Is it posible to write backuped encrypted block from another Tornado phone?

It could be a solution for people like kviaff...
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
No it does not work - you can try (if you backup the original to restore later). It seems that the IMEI (read with *#06#) is taken from another (hidden?) place and it must match the one stored in the encrypted block.

This is why the "data crashes..." message appears! The IMEI do not match. I had received such a wrong written Tornado board (from AlainL - we had a thread about this here in the forum, in my kitchen thread I believe) and it could successfully be recovered with the imei-check.uk method (paying them, of course).

Mind that the lokiwiz will not take care of existing lock-backup.bin files in its directory. The next call to any option will overwrite the previous. It could be safeguarded in the batchfile (for those who are batch wizards), but you can rename this yourself before calling the next option.
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
What if I change my imei (with Wizard Service Tool) to imei of the phone with corrupted encrypted block and then create backup? Maybe it can help fix problem...
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Well you are the only one that has reported that the Wizard Service Tool works on the Tornado - and only with the 6.5 ROM from SGregory.

I don't know what actually these tools are doing in detail to the devices - and time as well as effort to investigate on this is not worth it if you just shell out 10 GBP to have it working again.

You would also first need to find out which kind of corruption the encrypted block actually has. It could well be that a non-matching IMEI is just one of many reasons to issue this "data crashes..." message (it was for me - as reported).

You should know (you do, I think) that changing the IMEI is illegal and you must obviously obey the rules how an IMEI is constructed. So why bother with all this?

kviaff must discuss what he did to the device with the guys at imei-check.uk and ask them if their procedure will recover it. We can only guess here as he did not tell how that happened to his device yet.
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
I know, that imei changing is illegal, but in situations of service it's legal. Similar to Windows Mobile modifications (you know it, I think):p But back to the cost of reconstructing, 10 GBP is enough money to fix it by myself. In Poland i can buy SPV C600 for equivalent 15-20 GBP (in good condition) so it's uneconmic;)

I have one reserve C600 so I'll experimented with it (I'll make a backup copy of course) So wish me luck and of course will inform you of the results;)
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
By searching for something else I found this blog and finally also this XDA thread. I have not checked the tool yet (maybe will never do) - but in case anyone dares?!

Possibly the data-crashes goes away if everything is re-constructed in the encrypted block for a new IMEI (or the original one)? Should have found it in January this year when I payed IMEI-CHECK.UK the bucks to recover a Tornado board.
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
I'll try it and write if it works with "Data craches..." problem:)
[HTC Tornado] rajathvsm:
I can vouch for the fact that Wizard Service Tool works on Tornado. I had Super CID unlocked my mob using some other method and then while doing some random stuff, had changed the IMEI to something like 000..123..90 or something just for fun's sake. Then a few months later, India passed a law which made phones with invalid IMEI useless. So, I had to use some software to recover my IMEI from a memory block, forgot which one I used ( I had erased the IMEI off from the surface below battery due to another freakish accident :o:o ) Then I used WST to restore my earlier IMEI.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Most probably you have loaded the WM65 ROM from Gregory - there it works and the "data crashes" message is suppressed (by the ROM). The corrupted block would not work with any other ROM and the WST would not work with any other as well.

At least these are the conclusions from gutek85 so far.

Mind that the WST is not the IMEI changer for the wizard!
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
It's posible to read original IMEI from (original) CID block with WST.

CID Action => Read CID block
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Ok, finally I tried the IMEI change Wizard on one of my spare Tornados. Result is:

it works in changing the IMEI, if the device was ok before the change then there is still no "data crashes" after the change

it should NOT work in getting rid of the "data crashes" message because obviously the encrypted block is not linked to the IMEI of the device but to a HW characteristic of the device itself.

If I remember right (when searching for a solution for my old "data crashes" PBA) the encrypted block is linked to the Disc-On-Chip-ID which is HW unique per DOC in each device. It cannot be linked to the IMEI because otherwise a change of the IMEI would have created the data-crashes message. I have checked if the encrypted block is changed by the IMEI Update Wizard - and it is not. It is still possible that the "encrypted block" is extending beyond the 64k that lokiwiz is backing up.

So it is a nice tool to play with but has no real purpose for those who are legal owners of their devices. There is plenty of information regarding the consequences of changing the IMEI (legal and technical), so let me pick the simplest: If you change your device type (the first 6 digits) then the network may treat your device in a wrong way and you could experience strange behavior of e.g. MMS or configuration messages.

If you pick the IMEI of an existing (and connected) device you may bring the legal owner in problems - not only yourself.

For the curious:

In the scope of changing the IMEI the tool reads (and decrypts?) a block of 16k. It saves it temporarily in its program directory under "pdocread.dat"

after change (before write back) it holds the changed data there as well. For the Tornado you see that the IMEI is stored at offset x'300C safeguarded by some checksum at x'3008.

Mind: "IMEI Change Wizard" is NOT the "Wizard Service Tool (WST)"

I also finally succeeded to make the WST run with a stock WM5 Tornado. You have to manually add one policy setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies

add there a DWORD "0000101a" and set it to the value "1". This is what the "Cert_SPCS.cab" does but this will run only on PPC devices and not on a smartphone. Not sure though which of the operations from the WST will actually work on the Tornado and which will kill the device in one or the other way.
[HTC Tornado] gutek85:
Good job;)

So there is still no way to fix Encrypted Block for free... Maybe someone could crack IMEICheck tool for avoid keyfile or make keyfile generator:p I tryed, but haven't enough knowledge...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I think you miss the point - whilst there is a legal aspect here, I think the main point is not the license associated with open source, but the source code itself.

As Android is open source, it can be compiled to different targets, and deep changes can be made to the source code to get everything working.

As WinMo is not open source, you do not have this luxury, and so the porting exercise would be much, much harder.
