Hi everyone, I'm in need of urgent help.
I S-Off, rooted, and installed LeeDroid on my mother-in-law's phone. We believe it has a hardware issue, so need to return it to HTC/T-Mobile for repair.
I've followed this guide to originally root it, and now to return it to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Within this thread is a link to stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I installed the lateset TMOUS ROM, but it's not what it had originally, I'm assuming it's not UK specific?
Can anyone help? I tried to update the software via the phone but it failed. It said something about it being modified???
I also couldn't ask on the original thread due to my low post count.
Many thanks, Chris
Give a try with the old UK Ruu and update. Did you changed back the CID? I'm wondering why you are able to flash tmous when you changed back everything.
Tmous means T-mobile USA and that is deffently not a part of UK since some years.
You need the UK ones

I changed the CID when rooting it as per the guide, but didn't change it again while returning to S-ON. I don't know what it was originally? And to be honest, I have no idea what it is/what it does?

Do you have a link for the UK version? I can't see one in the thread?

Was there a branding from t-mobile on the mobile ? I only see uk Vodafone in the thread ... maybe there is a generic uk rom or you can use the generic europe one...you can try the last europe ruu and check if it's the same before the installation of the leedroid.

The CID basically decides which ROM you can flash to your phone.
And of course I'm talking about RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) which checks if you have the right CID to install the chosen ROM.
The SuperCID, is a code that gives you permission to install any RUU. Not just the one you should have.
So, when you got the SuperCID, you were able to install the USA version of the RUU.
You don't know the old Software Version and Radio you had?
Edit: I assume you did a nandoird backup, restore it and search for the RUU coresponding to software version and radio and so on...

The original ROM was a T-Mobile one, lots of bloatware on it

I'd still recommend calling T-Mobile or even going into one of their stores nearby. They will help you troubleshoot and may just confirm that you need a new sim card. I had this issue and needed a new sim card when converting from my Nexus One to my MyTouch 4G for some reason so it is a possibility.

Well I went to the store put in the sim card and nothing happened, I wonder if maybe the previous owner messed the phone up trying to unlock it and if he did I don't know if it can be fixed.
Bummer, $350.00 right on jeopardy.
I turn it off and will give it 10mins hopefully it works now.
Fingers cross and drum droll going on!
Id call that dude back up and get my money back if a Tmobile store couldnt connect it either. Didnt you see it work in person before handing the guy money?
Matt
It's not working and says no data, I didn't try it because there was no sim card available then.
So I ask is there a possibility that by unlocking the phone it maybe damaged?
you didn't test the phone before paying the guy? you might of purchased a stolen phone try doing the super cid and installing a usa based rom like beast rom or stock tmo rom the other rom might have the apn messed up....install the latest tmo usa radio

I am doing a wipe and then reinstalling the ROM but version 2.4
I don't think it was stolen, the seller is a UCF student and was a Chinese guy (lol)
If the Full Wipe and ROM don't fix it I will try your solution, I appreciate everyone help.

Start fresh and install the latest T mobile US ruu, then install the 2.3.4 OTA update, that should get you going. Sounds like there's a setting, radio, and or RIL that is incorrect. I am assuming you checked the apn settings.

Right now I am at the Stryper concert at HOB, when I get home I will try the RUU.
Don't think it's a bad APN because I did a full wipe in recovery and reinstalled the coredroid latest ROM and still can't get service.
Also the tech support at T-Mo check if the phone was blacklisted and no it wasn't so that's good.
It should work on their network.
Which radio are you using? Menu>settings>about phone also is it a T-Mobile branded phone or EU version ?

Definitely try flashing the RUU for T Mous, I have read a number of posts in the development section about it. From what I've read some key software components may not be flashing properly or something to that affect so some recommend flashing the Official RUU and then flashing the custom ROM when a problem such as yours presents itself.
Enjoy the concert.
Report back how it goes.

I am running the latest TMOUS RUU (RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed)
And it recognizes the phone and it says it is on version 1.45.531.1 then I press the Update buttom to update the current ROM and then the RUU says it will update the phone to 1.29.531.2 and I click nextthe the RUU says it's checking then waiting for boot loader then the phone goes to a screes that is black and says in the center htc and stays there with no progress and the RUU then gives me an error # 171 USB Connection ERROR.
Am I missing something here? Maybe it's the USB driver for the Sensation that is wrong?
Thanks for all the support

What kind of Sensation do you have? You could always change your CID to super CID and then install a RUU from any region.

So if I want to get back to the original CM radio without reflashing the rom again which file should I use, I am on ATT?

Did you go into about> baseband? If it doesn't match that of 2.20, then the op probably accidently uploaded or misnamed the wrong file. But I think it should be correct.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yeah I was looking at that and after I flashing the ATT 2.20 radio from the link I am still seeing the one, ATT 3.18, which I flashed earlier.
I looked the update-script from the zip, EVITA_ATT_2.20_for CM10.zip, and it is actually stated "Lets flash the HTC ONE X(EVITA) Telstra 2.40 (0.20os.32.09.15_10.113.32.28L) for CM10" so I guess that is not the correct file but I don't have the permission to comment on the post therefore i was trying to confirm here to see if i was using the same file.
thanks for the reply...
To some of you this might sound dumb, but I indulged in rooting and s-off my m8, and am initerested in going back to stock and update. Every time I use the 0P6BIMG.zip su always comes back with it and I am unable to update. Any idea on what I can do to fix this or no? Thanks in advance.

You would need to fastboot a stock recovery after you did everything needed to remove su... If you are a experience Linux user you can remove su from ruu before you flash it easy.

If you are on the latest firmware but your custom rom is not running the new firmware will your phone show the old firmware ? Asking because I tried updating firmware a while back but I"am running viperone 1.8 and I think they have not updated the rom to the new firmware I have no clue why they have not as most roms have. And I dont want to ask on the rom forum because they the devs are a bit touchy about people asking about updates on the rom and I tried asking on the rom forum before and no one replied about it. I just know verizon told me that the new firmware is supposed to help with weak coverage areas like where I"am and they advised me to update my software to 1.55.605.2 and my phone shows 1.54.401.5 CL325784 This was what verizon told me back on 6-28-14

You can check your firmware an radios via the boot loader that will show u what firmware your on...your build keys r only what firmware your ROM is based on. There for viper being base in the international firmware which is 1.54. That is why you are seeing that info under about phone. Hey no worries you can post an ask things here no one will jump you like other places. If you have not updated to 1.55 from the old one which I believe was 1.12 or something like that.

My bootloader screen does not list the firmware it shows the hboot number and the radio which the radio is the latest one, which may be because I had flashed the new radio on its own so I may still not have the new firmware. It also lists april 1st 2014 and the hboot is 3.16.0.0000 So viperone uses the international firmware for the cdma verizon and sprint that seems odd ? Is the 1.54 the newest international firmware then ?

What does your OS in boot loader? That would be your firmware. An yea viper plus others base there Roms off 1.54 firmware. I don't use viper myself but pretty sure that's always up to date.
Edit. You can update your firmware an run viper no problem at all if that is what your wondering. As my wife m8 does run viper an she is up to date on everything. No issue at all. FYI.

So I might have messed up my phone (hopefully not). I was trying to back to stock but the RUU comes with SU installed, I already used this to "lock" my bootloader, and now firewater when i run it says the following "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye".
if you have any suggestions let me know. For what you told me I want to go back to unlocked but might have screwed the pooch with the bootloader lock.
Thanks again for all the help.
