Hi there,
I was recently given a htc desire S so i could work on android app development some more, but for some reason its stuck on no service/emergency calls only.
In searching google i landed back at xda developers after some years (used to have many xda's/htc phones), and discovered the "rcmix3d runny s v2.1" rom, but as i've not installed the custom rom myself, i don't really know much.
I'm very new to android and was hoping someone could help me to resolve the issue?
What i know is the following info about the phone, what i don't know is the original network provider;
---------------------------------------
Desire S S510e
Android Version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense version: 3.5
Software Number: RCMix3D Runny S v2.1 [proxuser]
Kernel version:
2.6.35.10-g71db9d1

Baseband:
20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M
Build:
1.01.401.1 CL176843 test-keys
Browser:
Webkit/533.1
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure of some of the technical states, though i do know the phone is rooted as the Root Check Basic app reported this.
I guess ideally i'd like to just restore to a working android rom - i think the factory version was 2.35 Gingerbread, however, i don't know (1) what network the phone was originally on, or (2) whether the current state might prevent or cause problems in trying to restore an alternative rom.
Note that when i was given the phone i used an online service to provide me with an unlock code which i think was successful, though i've not been able to test.
I'd be real grateful if anyone could provide some guidance or pointers with getting the phone working! - At present it works perfectly outside of being able to make calls.
If there's anything further i can provide, please let me know!
Thanks very much,
Ant.
Just wondering if the phone is locked to one carrier while your SIM is from a different carrier.
Hey BillGoss,
When i was given the handset, i used an online service to provide an unlock code.
I entered this and i believe the hendset is now unlocked to all networks - I have tried tmobile, voda, o2 and orange sims, but all show 'no service'.
I'm pretty sure the unlock code worked, because prior to entering this, certain network's sim cards would result in a message asking me for the unlock code - since entering the code this doesn't show.
Though i'm not sure as i don't know too much on the android side, i think this could be a baseband issue... Just don't have a clue how to go about changing this or identifying the real problem.
thanks for your reply/suggestion though, appreciated.
Anyone else have any ideas? - thanks!

[Q] Brand new HTC EVO-Flashed to Cricket, rooted by paid "Expert",still no 3g
Hello and thank you for this forum.
I decided to buy an HTC EVO after seeing some ads on my local craigs list about thethering (wifi hotspot) on Cricket service.
I decided to buy a brand new phone unpacked with a clean esn.
Hired a pro to flash it to cricket, and then found out I would also need to root it afterwards. This guy did not offer rooting.
So found a second pro to root it and after I paid him, discovered the wifi hotspot does not work. His answer to me was search the web to learn how to use it. Great.
So while trying to figure out how to use the wifi hotspot, found out how to load htcsync from the phone to my pc. Never did figure how to fix the wifi hotspot and now, the 3g quit working all together.
Of course, these experts have my money and wont return my calls.
Sad story over....

I guess my first question is what does this phone information tell you? I have been reading the net and watching videos for a week now (when I have time) and am so confused and afraid I am going to ruin this new phone. Looks like the OS has been reverted from 2.2 to 2.1? I am guessing Bugless Beast is the ROM? Where should I begin to fix this phone myself? Thank you.
Anyone please?
Been there ... Done that

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum. I hav just got HTC Desire S and facing problems from the first day. The problem with my fone is that it freezes every now and then in approx everythng like calling, messaging, browsing r even watching movies/pictures. Sometimes, i have to press the touchscreen for a longtime and it starts working while at some moments this technique doesn't work and i have to lock the screen using power button and then unlocking it restore the previous work that i was doing on it. this situation is very much annoying for me and making me crazy:crying:. I am new to android and this is my first android fone. when i bought it it was on:
Android Version: 2.3.5

My first thought would be HW issue, because you have updated your ROM with a newer version and the issue still persist. In that case I would call the HTC service desk or the store where you purchased the phone and sent it for RMA.
As you mentioned your phone is new so make use of the warranty.
BTW if this issue occured the first day then you should sent it as a DOA. That way you should receive immidiate a new phone.

Thnx for ur early response. Actually it is not a new fone. I have bought it from a second hand market on check warranty so the warranty is ruled out. I didnt knew that it will create problems afterwards. At that time, it worked perfectly. Even now, sometimes it works really fine but sometimes just freezes and i either have to wait or press the power button twice to make it usable. One thing more that i need to share is that when it freezes the process which is running doesnt stop only the touch screen doesnt respond and the soft keys. e.g. during call, the touchscreen freezes but the call continues and if i need to activiate loudspkr it doesnt respond as the touchscreen is freezed. One i checked it during video. i was watching a video song on it and the screen froze but the song was still playing. i rotate the fone, the display also rotated and the screen began to work. I am not sure, what is the problem with this set...

Hello,
Could someone be so kind and point me in the right direction to this Chinese Galaxy knock off, My friend purchase it and im trying to get it rooted and install a custom Rom. It has the stock Rom but for the life of me we try att,tmobile,net10 sims with the correct APN and still says no service, So I would like to root it and try a different rom to see if that works,
Any help would be great. And yes I did a search and that model doesn't show up.
The corrent rom on it is:4.0
Baseband: DM_BASE_12A_W12.43|sc6820_modem|11-01-12
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Software: 6820_4.0_c910_YP_v13
Hardware Ver: 1.1.0
Duo Sim
Thanks in advance.
This has nothing to do with the Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562), unfortunately. Incompatibilities relate mostly to hardware differences.
Cheers,

Hey everyone, so I recently bought an at&t branded HTC One M8 phone. I got an unlock code for it and popped in a t-mobile sim card.
Everything was working fine, until I saw that I couldn't send/receive mms messages, and group chats. I've tried different APN settings, I've tried 3rd party apps to send messages, still no go.
I read somewhere that a fix for the MMS on the HTC One M8 is to flash the at&t system to a t-mobile system.
So far I've:
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Installed TWRP
- S-Off
- SuperCID
Now, I'm stuck. I've tried running the stock T-Mobile RUU for the HTC One M8 that I got on the official HTC site, but still no go.
Some software info...
Android Version - 4.4.2
HTC Sense Version - 6.0
Software number - 1.58.502.1
HTC SDK API level - 6.17
------------------------------------
Can anyone help me out here? Willing to give some money over paypal to the person who makes this work.

If you somehow can revert back to stock AT&T you should return it and complain. It sounds like the device is defective.

Made an account! I'm the original poster.
Anyways, since I did s-off, root, and unlock, I don't think I'd be able to return it.
Also, I am going out of the country soon (Less than a week) for a trip and I need this to work right now! I can't return it in time, I bought it over amazon.
