how to: debrand and unlock desire S - HTC Desire S

I have a desire s on Tmobile and want to debrand it to see if this solves my problems in failing to receive texts and phone calls.
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this, and can i rebrand the phone if I need to send it back?
Links or a how to guides would be great thanks!

De-branding alone won't resolve errors on your phone, but will void your warranty.
If your problems are reproductive and not just intermittent then I'd suggest that you return your device under warranty and seek a replacement.

Iv had 2 desire s from tmobile now both have done the same thing, I am sure its not a hardware issue I think its a problem with the tmobile software, or whatever enables it to use orange signal aswell

Hmmm....?
I can only take you at your word....but, my wife has a branded T-mobile desire s which functions fine and has done for over a month now.
Where as I have a non-branded desire s which also runs on T-mobile but is unlocked and runs customs ROM which also runs fine.
Failing to receive texts does sound like a network issue not a device problem?

I also have a t-mobile desire s and all works fine, am on custom rom at the moment and have tried most of them and not had a problem with any off them. Also all worked well when it was stock rom.
Are you sure all your apn settings are correct.

Im not sure could you tell me the correct ones please?

Google APN settings, they're easily found.
But I don't think these settings affect the way you receive texts or make calls, they're just for data, no?

How did you root? Are you sure you're sim unlocked and carrier unlocked? APN should have nothing to do with making calls; APNs are for data connections.

hi, gene poole.. i used the HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
if APNs is for data, then why the hell did the other forum members on this thread give me idiotic advice on settings APNs knowing i cant make calls?
anyway gene ppoole, i cant make calls. sometimes the tmobile logo appears on the top left corner.. then it disappears. and i made a call that lasted only 15 secs. then i wasnt able to make another call. this is strange. what must i do?
Could we get some background on all this? Where did you get the phone (it's an AT&T phone and you're T-Mobile--why)? Was it damaged, or damaged and repaired? Was it used? Was it obtained from a friend? Craigslist?
I ask because it sounds like there's some problem with the phone's hardware to me. It may be something as simple as a loose connection (if the phone was disassembled for repaires, i.e.). It might be worse. Is it warrantied?

hi gene poole. i got the phone through craigslist. the guy who sold it to me said it was brand new. and it doesnt have any scratches on it whatsoever. everything looks perfect.
as far as warranty, i'm not sure. this is something i can check. but again, the phone looks brand new. i got it with the box and manuals and everything included.
i did flash it 3 times on 3 different roms. and it still gives me the same issue. do you think i should take it in for repairs? if so, where can i get the stock rom so it doesnt look like i broke the warranty?
or maybe i should re-root it and s-off again? maybe this will solve it?
How did you go about rooting it? It might not have gotten sim unlocked and/or carrier unlocked.

hi gene poole.. or, it might not have gotten the sim unlocked properly since the tmobile signal comes and goes sporadically. i made a call that lasted 10 secs before the call dropped. and when i try to call, the call drops immediately. most of the time i cant make calls. and the tmobiile logo appears then disappears from the upper left hand corner.
i rooted it using HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3. the link is below.

i think i should unlock it with another tool. can you provide me with a tool that will unlock and re-root the phone? i really need to solve this issue.. thank you gene poole..

This has proven to be the preferred method of rooting/unlocking. I agree with gene poole that it sounds like either the unlocking step of the root process wasn't done completely or at all. I suggest returning to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507) and trying again.
I'm still leaning toward a hardware issue. Do you have a friend with an AT&T SIM that could let you borrow it to see if it does wonky stuff with a native SIM?

Is it possible that he had a bad flash of a radio somewhere along the line that would cause it? OP - did you try flashing any radios after rooting?

[Q] Halp! no data!

Alright here's the thing. A friend of mine went to Mexico a while back. There is a wifi access point in the area and he tried to get on the internet with his phone. He told me that he was able to connect for about 5 seconds before he lost internet. Back in the states, he has not been able to use his data at all on his inspire. He can get on wifi fine though. Additionally he cannot send or receive picture messages, but he can still text other than that.
I don't get it, I've tried a billion things. flashing radios/roms/etc and can't figure it out. Right now hes paying X amount of money for something he isn't using and hes probably going to have to buy a new phone soon if this issue keeps up. If someone could toss me some advice that would be great, thank you.
Have you looked into the apn settings?

yup, followed countless guides on different AT&T apns. tried it with two apns as well as just one, selecting it, rebooting. nothing. i dont get it.

Was it working before mexico, or did he buy it in mexico? Also have you tried to install the stock ruu for this device. If it was purchased in the states and you are completely stock then the sim card probably needs to be replaced. Warm climates like mexico can cause electronics to run hotter than expected and things can fail.

It was purchased in the states and the phone was completely stock and untouched by me when he was in mexico, I only started messing with it afterwards. I didn't even think about the sim card, thanks I'll let him know. Would it be possible to buy a new sim card while hes rooted or should i reverse that beforehand? Also got any idea about how much they cost? thanks!

Just return it to stock firmware and take it to your carrier and tell them MMS isn't working. They will most likely just give you a new one.

Running the phone after Factory Data Reset Without Verizon SIM, How ?

Hello guys,
After loosing my HTC ONE X on the street a week ago, I bought from some guy an almost brand new GALAXY S3 without knowing it is a VERIZON version.
I live in Israel so i had no idea what is the meaning of buying a device that will work only on Verizon network, we only have GSM here.
The guy i bought it from also had no idea what it means as his father bought it on the US and brought it here wishing to sell it as he had no use in it.
Without realizing the mistake I've made, I then made another one, Taking out the VERIZON SIM CARD and giving it back to the owner!
I thought to myself... well... that's his SIM CARD, not gonna be using that one...
Well, i got home to find out i'm in trouble with this deal I've made, i searched for a way to unlock it for GSM networks and i saw that here in XDA someone made it possible.
As i started working on it i had to download from Google play an application, when i was asked to pay for it i saw it's running on the old owners google account, so i decided i don't wanna pay with my credit while he might get the receipt for it and i figured i should do a Factory Data Reset for the phone and start from point zero the whole process.
Sadly i had no idea i'm doing another big mistake because when the phone finished the reset it asked for a VERIZON SIM CARD in order to run, well you know where that SIM Card is - back at the previous owner and i'm not even sure i will be able to track him down again.
I wish to get this device working without any traces of Verizon, maybe beside the name on the back panel of the device.
Now that the device won't even run without the SIM, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance,
Ohad.

Thanks but i was able to track down the previous owner and get the verizon sim card.
I found away to use it on GSM but still im very disappointed because im not sure there´s a real way to remove any trace for the verizon stuff installed here and there are few errors like it is connected to the provider but it says no verizon sim card connected.
and im not so sure all the device's frequencies are "open" for my provider.
I was wondering if there's any option to burn an international galaxy version to the device and it will bypass all of these issues.

not unless you want paperwieght for a device.
Why don't you just flash CM10 or similar to get rid of all the VZW stuff.... that's what I did.

Not sure how to do so, but either way i'm not sure i will get the device working completely normally with my local SIM card on a gsm network, without bugs, without asking me to put a verizon sim card all the time, without having any option to update the device...
I dunno, i thought i could easily get this Galaxy version to become unlocked completely and get it running like all the other guys around...
Unless anybody here have a good recommendation about what should i do to overcome the verizon and networks issues, maybe i should just sell this guy on ebay and get a normal version...
Do you think this would be a smart move to do ?
Beemer - after you flash the CM10, do you still need to unlock the device and do you still get issues running on other than Verizon providers or do you enjoy a device that is similar to the worldwide versions ?
Thanks,
Ohad.
If you flash an international ROM on a Verizon S3, your phone will no longer power on or do anything useful. That's why it will become a paperweight. Flashing an international ROM on your Verizon S3 is one of the easiest ways to make it useless.
International=quad-core us=s4 processor, very different guts.I'd listen to the ppl on this forum, unless you want to end up with a paper weight.

Know it works on Touchwiz roms. It may not be in AOSP based roms.
Well, i flashed CM10 successfully, i was able to receive and send SMS before with the Stock ROM, and also to make/receive phone calls but i had sim card issues and errors and also some unwanted Verizon apps and stuff.
After updating the device to the latest Verizon version, i couldn't make phone calls, just receive and i could send and receive SMS.
Now that device runs much faster on the CM10 and i can make/receive phone calls but i can't send SMS.
*UPDATE: I have updated to the latest CM10 version, now i can't connect to the provider at all... no internet/phone/sms at all.
SOS
Ok, Im going to try a different tactic, i saw some people tried flashing At&t Roms on their verizon devices and they done it with success.
So far i tried doing it twice, one time with CM10 ROM for at&t, the 2nd time with stock at&t ROM.
I've tried doing it through CWM.
Both times i got an error while installing... it just didn't move on.
Luckly i had the CM10 for the verizon Zip file over there aswell so i installed that ROM again just to get the device running.
Any ideas how to flash the AT&T ROM on the Verizon Device ???

[Q] No Sms/Call in or out - data fine - hardware or software issue?!

Hi,
I have a fairly recent HTC One Mini which I bought off a friend so I have no proof of purchase for it.
It was working fine with calls / texts / data apart from a few texts from iPhone devices.
I removed my number from iCloud on all devices and phoned up apple for them to remove me from their phone list.
Phone was still working fine and I could text / phone / use data no bother.
Then one day it decided to stop receiving and sending any texts and phone calls.
The data is still working fine and connects to the network.
I went to my service provider who provided me with a new sim card. I tried the sim card in a different old phone and it works fine with texts and calls.
I put this sim in my HTC One Mini and it still does not work with texts and calls but connects to the network fine and works fine with data…
Any ideas on why this might be?
I was going to try and downgrade the software to 4.3.1 or something but after reading all the different steps I have to go through I might just end up getting another phone and trying to fix this whenever I actually have some time to loose on this!
If anyone has any ideas as to whether it might be software / hardware issue it would be great… seems like an odd one since I can use the data fine but the rest won't work?!
Cheers in advance for any suggestions...

Yes I have.
I am starting to believe the phone might have been reported stolen / blacklisted as it seems to do that for others too after some more research… however when I check on a free imei checks websites the imei seems fine...
I think you're running Stock Rom without any modifications, am I right? Did you tried a SIM by another provider yet?

Yes It is the original ROM and no modifications.
I have a feeling the person I purchased it from might have been nice for a few weeks and then decided to report it stolen and make it blacklisted however when I check online it is not a blocked IMEI so I am unsure what to do…
Would there be a fix to this or would I just need to sell it for parts / use without the network?
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

Issue with 1.25.617.4 update

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but after I updated to the latest OTA update (1.25.617.4) I can no longer access call forwarding settings nor call waiting settings. It gives me error saying 'Network Error or sim card error' when trying to view either. I thought it was an issue with my sim cause I just used the one from my HTC 10 so went to AT&T and got a new one only to have same issue. Did a factory reset and same issue. After that I figured it could have possibly been the update, so I used the ROM exe from HTC to get back to 1.21.617.3 and can access those settings again. It was nice to get VoLTE, but I don't want to lose some settings access to get that.
If anybody has had the same issue, have you found a fix other then going back to 1.21.617.3 or staying on 1.25.617.4 and not being able to access call forwarding and call waiting?
Thanks
Interesting. Mine is completely normal with the same SIM card from my HTC 10 as well. Have you tried wiping the cache partition? That actually helped me get VoLTE on my HTC 10.
Here's a link how to do it in case you don't know...

I know, but it's just instructions (from T-Mobile) on how to do it on your HTC 10.
No issues here, on t-mobile and used same sim as HTC 10. I know it doesn't resolve your issue, but maybe there is an issue with the update and AT&T. See if anyone else on AT&T has same issue.
I'm on Verizon and I get the following when I try to go to either Call forwarding or Additional Settings. It never gets any further.
Have not tried going to these on the previous OTAs.

I was hoping to hear from others on AT&T (and other networks) by posting here. Seems T-Mobile is ok and Verizon has a similar but different issue.

I don't know if I mentioned it before but I'm on AT&T, and everything is normal.
I'm on AT&T, U12+ on 1.25 firmware (+ Viper 1.01), SIM card is from HTC 10 (actually even further back than that, same SIM card since 2014 or 2015).
No issues accessing call forwarding / call waiting settings. All of those features are working for me (forwarding to YouMail, waiting definitely works, so does conference/merging calling) and also now VoLTE.
You mentioned it didn't work on 1.25 even after factory resetting. Were you modded in any way? So you RUU'ed back to 1.21 and it works. Have you tried OTA'ing back to 1.25 and seeing if it now works? I'm just trying to think of anything. Sorry dude, that stinks. I'm on 1.25 and heavily modified and it all works...
I get the same error message as well. But im on T-mobile. Really doesn't matter to me personally as i don't use settings in there.
But you're not the only one that gets the error.

Hadn't done anything to phone at the time, was completely stock, nothing done at all as of yet. Only thing i have done now after going back to 1.21 is unlock the bootloader and so far that's all. Going to try taking the OTA to 1.25 again and see if it wasn't just some fluke of nature.
Will update afterwards.
Edit: went back to 1.25, getting same error and can't access call forwarding or call waiting settings.

I'm on Verizon and I get the following when I try to go to either Call forwarding or Additional Settings. It never gets any further.
Have not tried going to these on the previous OTAs.

I'm still on the original firmware (no rush to update as of yet) and I get the same situation when accessing those settings.
1.25 RUU is available. I'm on T-Mobile with an Unlocked boot loader and custom kernel however everything works on this end.
I have the 1.25 update and I'm on ATT, and I apparently have the issue as well. No bother, though, since I don't use call forwarding.
And, this is the sim card from my 10.
I am on AT&T and my firmware 1.25.617.4 and everything working fine here
I realize this thread is a a little old but I am having the same issue. I am on AT&T. The only tweaks I have made is to unlock the bootloader and disabled tethering guard. The problem existed on 1.25.617.4 and persists on 1.30.617.2. I thought the problem was a provisioning issue with AT&T. After multiple calls with them and a couple with HTC, I found this thread. Of course I should have stopped here first. I actually need call forwarding and calling AT&T to have them manually provision it every time I need it just won't cut it. Has anyone been able to figure this out?
