I have a problem I dont even know what to do... maybe one of you can suggest me something...
i bought htc thunderbolt on a first day when it came out then some time later after drooling over my phone my boss got one too ;p
when last update came out he went ahead and upgrade his phone and his hotspot feature disappeared, yet i didn't do mine as i still wanted to use that feature...
now i s-off (whatever that is) and i even rooted my phone using this Revolutionary method (without wiping out my phone (thank god)) and i even installed wifi tether.
thankfully i also installed clockworkmod recovery *and* made a backup because every once in a while even though my radio (internet/wifi) is off verizon somehow kicks my phone into enabling radio (internet) and start downloading that update unless i cancel it, obviously when i dont see it i can't really cancel it... so what happened i wake up and i see android dude next to a question mark, my assumption that since i didn't really hit cancel it went ahead and apply update and probably because i mod it it fails somewhere along the line so i have to go to recovery through hboot and restore my backup...
i'm kinda of getting sick of doing it, my voip analog adapter at home died and i'm waiting one from my voip provider, so now my htc thunderbolt acting up with this stupid verizon update so its becoming really hard to communicate with outside world from my walls ;p
so any ideas how to deal with this situation? maybe either disable update somehow (since i've got root maybe *now* i should have an ability to disable it) i mean i even tried another rom: synergy ... oh yeah, apparently that rom isn't compatible with my radio and now i need to flash radio too in order to get that synergy to work... i mean what a pain in the ass this whole mess becomes (thanks to vzw,htc for not giving us gingerbread in october ice cream coming out already and we still using froyo ... so stupid!) or maybe somehow, dont even know if its possible but to apply that update without android dude w/ question mark... maybe roll everything back: unroot it, s-on then update it and back s-off and root it.
i'm confused... anyone?
You don't have to restore a backup to fix the failed update. Just boot into clockwork recovery and wipe cache. I would suggest updating to a rooted version of the newest OTA. Also if you go to about phone or software updates, I can't remember which, there is an option in there somewhere to uncheck scheduled update checks. I THINK that will stop it. If not, updating manually to a rooted version of the update will. Though I think you will have to update your radio with that as well. A custom ROM would also solve this.
Here is a link with some newer builds and radios:

OK, I rooted my t-bolt but haven't done any custom ROM flashing yet. I checked today for the s/ware update and when it found it I chose "reject" ... 2 questions..
First, will this sucker eventually push to my phone automatically via VZW?
Second, should I install another radio (and if so for what reason?). I do have some intermittent GPS weather issues (right now it says I'm in Vosu, which I think is near Finland somewhere --- I can assure you the phone is wrong) but IDK if this OTA (or leaked) update addresses that or something different.
I do plan on, one day, running a custom ROM I'm just not ready for that yet. I would update the radio though if it does something for service or whatever.
Advice, thank you.
The new radio is a piece of ****. Don't bother with it. I don't think that HTC pushes silent updates so I wouldn't worry about it. Just check your software version to make sure you're still running the stock radio.
everytime i have had a rooted phone, OTA updates did not succeed in installing itself, even if i agree to the update, and am not running custom roms
So, I guess if it asks me I'll just keep telling it 'reject' - it told me where I could find it if I needed it again, lol.
this will stop it from asking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077405
or showing up
and the OTA is the same the leak here by jcase and radio is also same as leak so if you flashed new mecha and flased new radio in hboot and ran this buildprop
you would be up to date like the rest just rooted atleast
I am sending my phone back into samsung for repair, and I want to bring it back to its stock condition. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed CW recovery, and installed superuser with no problems, however cannot seem to figure how to go into reverse. I understand how to re-lock the bootloader. I have read on the forums through the countless amounts of people asking this. I am however trying to use the ROM for the GTJ61 build found from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13478981 When I try to use Clockwork Recovery, and go to restore, it states there is a MD5 mismatch. Am I suppose to install from zip or update from SD with CWR, or should I try to flash everything back onto there? I do not know what to do. Am I even trying to use the right ROM? The GTJ61 build is the original build that came on my phone, but would another one work?
follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033269
all you have to do is clear your data, flash the stock rom and stock recovery, and then lock the bootloader
Thank you very much. I figured it out. All I have to do now is destroy the evidence on my sd and seen my NS away.
I realize superuser is still alive and well after I did everything. How I would I get rid of it?
I just uninstalled it. it might have gotten restored when you logged in with your gmail account. did you wipe data and the cache with cwm before you flashed the rom?
edit: did the ots update to 2.3.4 install fine for you?
I am guessing you mean ota. I ended up using the 2.3.4 rom. Should I have used the 2.3.3? Yes I did clear out the cache and factory reset.

I did mean ota lol. my bad. where'd you get a 2.3.4 rom from?
edit: if you used the 2.3.4 rom from the thread you posted, just be aware that it isn't official. i'm not sure if the link I posted has the official rom, but you can download OTA updates with it so I would assume that it's pretty damn official lol
I don't know too much on the subject, but I'm afraid that since it is a different build in the link you suggested that I will mess up my radio settings. I don't know if it would make a difference but when I did install superuser it was from CWR and not adb from the command prompt. Do think I should use the 2.3.3 rom you suggested?

I don't know much about it either, but I would assume that you should put it on a stock rom if you're sending it back into samsung. I could be totally wrong though
I just am not sure if having super using on there would make a difference. They are suppose to do a wipe anyway. But I will contact them to make sure. It would still be nice to have superuser gone though.

I would guess that superuser would be one of the first things they check for to see if you broke warranty. you could just uninstall it and wipe everything through cwm again to make sure it's gone
I managed to fix everything. I just was searching through the system folder of the 2.3.4 rom and to my surprise there was little old superuser. So I deleted the .apk and bin files. After that I restored the ROM. Fixed everything. The stress of sending in a phone with superuser is gone and I am back to being stocked
Two questions for you OP:
1. How do you have a warranty on a I9020A? Is it the subsidized version from Best Buy (i.e. "AT&T's sanctioned model")
2. Why do you need warranty repair? What broke?
Yes I got my phone from best buy. I just registered the imei with samsung and I am under the 1 year warranty. I have a problem with my battery draining 80% in 6 hours little to no use with all radios besides 2g turned off. I know that the NS has not so stellar battery life, but there is genuinely a problem with mine. It cannot even survive for half a day.
Hmm, I had that very issue with three past i9020a's (two from Amazon, one white one from Newegg). They were all the Rogers model, which is said to be identical to the one Best Buy is selling as a subsidized model.
I just bought another i9020a on eBay (no, I never learn) and hope to try some fancy methods to save on battery life (ROMs, etc). I also experienced VERY slow 3G with the i9020a on AT&T's 3G network here in the US. Like 300kbs download slow. I read that if you flash the radio to KB3 it gets very fast, like HSPA 3G should be.
I don't care about rooting and flashing because my phone will not have a warranty. I do, however, suspect that there is nothing wrong with your phone, rather the battery life is just random. One of the i9020a models I had drained a fresh charge in like 3 hrs of sitting idle w/full bars. The phone was burning hot. I restarted it, charged it up, and it lasted over 16 hrs the next time. Very erratic and strange, but that seems to be par for the course with the NS.
I would first see if the phones you bought were registered yet. You never know when you would need samsung to take care of something for you. The correct radio for the US ATT is UCKE1. You should be getting data speeds of about 3.3 megabits. My battery has been consistently low.

So that may explain what's different between the international (i.e. Canadian) I9020A and the "Best Buy" AT&T sanctioned I9020A...a different radio?
Is it possible to flash the KB1 radio of the Canadian I9020A to the AT&T friendly UCKE1 radio?
Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"
.
You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.
So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?
maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.
I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work
Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
i found the solution for those stuck on 2g speeds here in the US after flashing an RUU....your phone is probably on ICS 4.03 or 4.04 after you installed the official tmobile RUU...you have to keep checking for software updates on your phone until you get the official JB update installled from tmobile (it was officially posted at the end of April and available as a manual download through the "check software updates" option on your phone). i had to check for updates and install them about 5 times because the RUU i used restored my phone to ICS 4.03...i kept updating until i got to JB (it's going to be very large file, over 600mb).
IMPORTANT!!! --> after the update, your phone will still be stuck on 2g speeds....you them have to do a FACTORY RESET...yes, you have to wipe everything from your phone so make sure you backup to your laptop or something like that and then do a factory reset....once your phone reboots, it should now get 4g speeds (hspa+)...i read through alot of threads since my phone was stuck on 2g after i restored to the official tmobile RUU and finally got it to work after incrementally updating through the "check for software updates" option til the official JB update was installed.....good luck and hope this works for most of those that were stuck on 2g after the previous update!
I tried the above and it did not work. The following did, however, and I GOT 4G BACK on my HTC One S!!
I did not ever have S-OFF, I tried pretty much everything I could think of in terms of factory resets, flashing tons of different ROMs, bootloaders, even going completely stock again with RUU. I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause and a waste of time.
Solution: I relocked my bootloader and sent it in to HTC because I was still on warranty. They had it back to me in a week's time, and 4G now works fine. I'm going to try to find out what they did, whether it was hardware or not. Note: I did get it back with the bootloader being "locked", not "relocked".

Hi,
Did you find out what changed on your new HTC ONE S that fixed the Stuck on 2g issue?

4G? You mean 3G? HOS doesn't support 4G. Anyway, glad you fixed it! Considering the bootloader is locked again, I'm guessing they swapped a few parts?
I'm going to try this. I've been stuck on 2G ever since I updated my HBOOT to use 3.4 Kernel ROMs. I will get back to you to see if this method works for me.
how would you go about doing this method if you are coming from a custom ROM?
I'm on UnKnown v1.8 with S-Off on HBOOT 2.15 if that helps.
Yes, I suppose in the interest of accuracy I got H+ back, which shows as "4G" on the Sense UI. I'm really not sure what they did or how I would find out. According to the timeline they gave me it looks like they only had it in repairs for half a day or so, so it was either a simple hardware issue or some kind of deep software reset I wasn't able to access.
doesn't work. tried it the same exact way you said and it didn't work.still on 2G
Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.
