Look at the stickes...you want to root, then unlock bootloader, then install cwm. can't turn off lte as of yet AFAIK. Without a PC you can't do any of the above anyways.
Thanks . LTE seems drain battery real fast . And I am on 1.73.something rd ... It's not gonna matter right ..

Ok so I rooted my phone through the one click root thingy ... It worked but my phone went through strange reboots and stuff and on one point the phone didn't even turned on.for a while but some how it got rooted and is now working fine .
Next step.was to.unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com . Downloaded the fastboot.files and got the token and when I submitted the token ... It said invalid toke or parameters not matching ... Any help on that . I guess I am pretty good at following instruction and I feel I did nothing wrong but it didn't work any help.would be greatly appreciated . Thanks .

Did you copy and submit only the key? IIRC the instructions aren't clear where to start the copy of the key.

Are you using Chrome to submit the key? I had all sorts of errors until I gave up and tried it in firebox on my computer. Also make sure to copy everything they specify including the appropriate "<" and ">" characters

sup ppl i come from the evo 3d forums and just bought this phone today. but the volume rocker is bad, so i have to request.
1) how do i fix the volume rocker.
2) and how can i get it to boot so i find out what hboot the phone has so i can root this bad boy.
thanks in advance
1) what's wrong with the volume rocker? did you buy it second hand? If not why not return it and get it replaced if its broken?
2) to boot into boatloader is volume down plus power button, but hboot versions don't matter on our phone. Its all rootable currently
The down button doesn't work I need to replace it. I've been watching YouTube videos on how to do this. But still need help on what I need to do. I just bought the phone today second hand for 75 bucks

adb reboot

Will try this out asap. Ill be back

Ace hack kit comes with a manual. Open up the folder and click on the "effen manual" and read it entirely. It tells you everything you need to do to make everything work. Make sure your USB drivers are current. Most people have USB issues that can be fixed by merely updating the drivers. It tells you in the manual how to do that as well.

Follow all the prerequisites and read everything down to the last section called FAQs. There is important information throughout the whole thing which attn1 has made this way so that you see the answer to all the questions people ask over and over. I would be going against the wishes of the dev if I told you any more than this. It really is easy though once you soak in all the info. Good luck. You can do it.
Yup reread everything tried downgrading that went bad also. I'll just I've rooted many phones b4 this is the only one giving me trouble ill just sell it.

You should probably stay away from buying damaged used phones. The inspire is incredibley simple to root unless its damaged.
R u serious. I hate the dev lol sry man I was just pissed I've tried like 10 times and even tried that other method lol I got it now lol

I know you succeeded in rooting your phone, but there is a free app from the market called Quick Boot, which requires root, but allows you to reboot into recovery, bootloader, simply reboot, and power off. It may help you down the road.

No it was that dam code I was using the one on the zip lol I feel mad and dumb at the same time haha. So all I need is a T-Mobile sim card right. Will I have to unroot the phone to set up a T-Mobile account or an at&t account?
Thanks man but does it require the up nd down volume buttons. I'm planning on fixing it maybe next week.

I'm not completely sure if an Att phone will just work on a tmobile network. It would be ideal to activate it on Att or if you already have Att just pop in your sim card. If you are already on tmo, you could pop in your sim in and see if it works. I'm not sure if they need to be unlocked even with custom roms. Does anyone else know the answer to this?
Update: the volume button thing could be an issue if you ever soft brick your phone so you might want to get that fixed asap. It's the only way to fix a softbrick is through hboot.
Hi
I've just seen this and tried it ,works perfect .
I could not flash boot thru twrp but this works for me.
How come this is not a more talked about feature ,is it really bad for my phone?

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.

you set the date ahead like the instructions say right?
If you haven't already, check out my guide for the Telus HOX (it's in my signature and in the sticky rollup). You are required to have ADB set up and have an account with HTCDev.com.
Basically, the attached Spoof-CID.bat makes HTCDev.com think that your phone is the Rogers version and allows you to unlock your bootloader. Once that's done, you can push TWRP and then flash a prerooted ROM.
Hope it works for you and good luck.
Idk how to use adb .. did a little of research with 0 luck. I know that it's needed...idk where to find it. Or how to download it. :/ why is it such a pain in the ass???? Seriously.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
platform-tools_r16.0.2-windows.zip is the latest
inside the zip all you need is
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
downloading platform-tools_r16.0.2-windows.zip makes it alot easier then downloading the whole sdk
if you want to check for updates yourself look at this file repository-7.xml and search "platform-tools" then just change the filename of this url http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_<new version>-windows.zip to download
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/ADB
some of those commands will or will not work on the evita. it's not a complete list or how they work but for the most part they are helpful links.
make sure you do these things first
usb debugging is enabled in developer options
fastboot is disabled in power options
some rooting and unlocking tasks require getting into bootloader manually, make the above settings and power off your phone completely.
to get into bootloader manually:
Volume Down + Power
Lights Blink A Few Times
Release Power
Tap Power Every Few Seconds Until HBOOT Screen Appears

You have 500 posts on xda and you don't know how to use adb? You could check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
Sometimes root takes a couple times to work. If you follow the instructions it will work.
But everything you need is in the stickies.

So the problem with my phone is that When i connect my phone with computer via usb cable it only charges i also change it to 'disk drive' or 'internet pass-through' but it didn't work so i need the help of experts who know well about HTC Desire S .. i also changed my cables but itdidn't work .
I checked many sites but i found this site helpfull
Please help me.....
Bro, there are some serious problems with your phone. I've read that locking post from you as well. Better reset it to factory default if using stock rom. Otherwise it's better to unlock the bootloader and start fresh with a custom rom.
