Hey Guys,
I purchased a new One S from T-Mobile and they sent me a phone that can't connect to 4g. I know that the problem is the phone, I attempted to get a replacement phone and they shipped it but gave me an excuse saying something about fraud and sent my phone back to the warehouse before I could even get it. But yet T-Mobile doesn't mind taking my $$$
So enough of that I called HTC and they want to take a look but I'll be 7-10 days with no phone. Any solution for this problem? My phone is stock and for some odd reason won't connect to anything but 2G I checked the APN settings and dabbled with that but to no avail I even factory reset and tried other sim cards no luck.
Any advice? I think I'll end up ending it to HTC but I'm trying to fix this on my own and a last resort send it to HTC for repair.

Yeah, that doesn't work. It's an issue with the 4.0.4 update. T-Mobile has been dragging their ass on a fix for it, I'm getting my 3rd replacement for the phone I've had less than 30 days at some point this week.
There's an official thread going on T-Mobile's support site...I'd post a link but it won't let me.
My One S has the same problem. Not rooted yet. I wonder If I root it if it will fix the issue. Anyone tried that?
If you run the 2.35 ruu it'll probably fix the issue you guys are having. Pretty sure.

If the 2.35 ruu does not work is there a 1.85 ruu which we all know it works fine? Sorry, it is just very frustrating.

If you're on 4.0.4 I'm pretty sure only the 2.35 ruu will restore your phone. And I think you'll have no more issues your having. I was having issues with data and wifi when I updated via ota. Ran the ruu and haven't had any problems since.

I will give it a try. Hopefully it works. I will be rooting it too. Do u suggest to flash the ruu, see if everything works fine and then root or just root and try it later?

Ruu first. The bootloader has to be locked to do it

Naah, Ruu 2.35 didnt work for me either ... Can it be possible for a 4.0.4 Update cause a permanent Hardware issue???

Regarding the European RUU, I have a completely stock branded to vodafone desire S with the 2.3.5 OTA. Will I have to take any measures besides backing up my stuff to install the RUU?
Normally i wouldn't ask this, but the phone being limited to vodafone only sim cards makes me wonder if the RUU will affect any of it or if i have to do extra steps that I wouldn't with an unbranded phone.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think no one really knows yet. RUU is still too fresh. My guess, yes you can just install this on your branded Desire S. Your SIM lock will stay (this is never affected by a ROM). If you now have a Vodafone boot logo, you might lose that. Any apps put on there by Vodafone, you'll also lose, of course.
Actually that would work great for me, tired of the preinstalled crap As for not losing the sim lock, doesn't bothed me so much.
Kinda just want to update without issues, wondered how it would fit this specific situation.
Thanks for the reply m8
Update:
Installed the RUU without issues, phone seems to be working fine so far.. actually have more free memory than before (both without apps installed, did a reset before installing the RUU)
Wifi and 3G are working, phone is smooth but to be fair.. only installing apps atm.. glad to have the update

Did you use anything else except the ics RUU from htcdev? I also have a stock branded TIM Italy Desire S last time updated also via OTA to android 2.3.5 and I want to upgrade to ICS. Sorry for posting in your thread, but I didn't find anything in the forums to answer my question.

I have a tim desire S if you want update it you must debrand you desire S but you can lose your original tim Rom and probably your lost the garantie..

I don't care about the guarantee because I don't use the phone in Italy from where it was bought. Debranding is also a good thing for me. Just want to know if it worked just with the RUU for hin or he needed extra stuff.

no need to unbrand. This RUU is WWE and can be used with all Desire S. Just run RUU if your phone is s-on.
Or you can follow my instruction if you want to use goldcard to update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866204

Did the update with the RUU. Everithing worked fine, the phone is now unbranded. Still has somebugs. On the homescreen some app shortcuts refuse to open on touch sometimes and apps crash when you click links inside them. Hope there will be at least a minor update to sove the bugs ..

ive looked and cant seem to find a flashable zip of the most recent tmo firmware. i found a nandroid but wifi didnt work. if someone knows where one is or can post one id appreciate it.
It's not going to work for you regardless. There is firmware you need included in update for Wi-Fi to work on that build.

I personally had to relock the bootloader and flash the 1.53 RUU, get the 2 updates, unlock bootloader, flash recovery and finally root....... Took me 2 hours but worth it, everything works

Do you find wifi connectivity is better on the latest firmware? That's the reason I want it. I have the oldest and have bad wifi issues. Won't stay connected.

I personally had no Wi-Fi issues running stock 2.21 RUU and data network speeds where faster than this latest T-Mobile release too. Thinking of going back to it.

very sad too cus my phone blows now.
2.21 runs great with awesome data speeds. I was on that for weeks till yesterday, giving this 2.35 a test drive. 2.31 gave me random reboots.
I'm on T-Mobile US.
HTC One™ S
Hmm. So I was having even worse data/wifi issues after updating. Like I said the speed test app wouldn't work, wifi calling wouldn't work. So I found the newest ruu which is posted here in the [email protected] section, like 2.85 or whatever. Ran the ruu and I'm having zero issues. Something with taking the updates ota didn't agree with my phone. If you're having issues after the ota I'd suggest just running the ruu. Seems flawless now.
Is there a way to reset the gps stats on this phone? Every time I go into Maps it shows my location at 20 or 40 meters and keeps moving between those two. I seem to remember my gps being as low 3-4 meters before.

I assume you tried clearing data in Maps?
GPS signals can be wonky. Lots of things can interfere with your reception. Does it seem to change based on where you are?

It just seems like all of a sudden it's not working as well.
This is related bit I've also noticed that my phone is laggy on any Sense rom that I flash and can't figure out why. It's like my phone hit old age and doesn't wanna work as smoothly as it did a few months ago.

Might be time for a RUU and re-root?
That app will give you the raw GPS data. You can use it to see if the problem is the signal or something else.

The 1.85 root method will still work even tho it finds 2.20 in the last step?
EDIT: Isn't there a way now to downgrade your hboot so if I ran the 2.20 ruu I'd still be able to downgrade and flash kernels and radios in recovery?

The downgrade method is pretty hairy and requires Linux. AFAIK the 1.85 root method still works (but I never used it myself).

Hey everybody,
In the past I tried to install the Viper One S rom for my T-Mobile phone. Sadly, the wifi did not work so I was forced to revert back to my original rom. The issues revolved around my hboot being 1.14 and causing those wifi problems. Just now, I successfully got S-Off on my phone! Now what's the best way to get Viper One S working on my phone? Downgrade the hboot? Do the wifi partitions work now now that I got S-Off?
Thanks

If your installing 2.1...make sure you chose to do a custom install, you will see the T-Mobile option there.

I have the outdated version....that explains it. At first I believed 2.1 to only work on Jelly Bean but under further inspection I see that it isn't.

Its a JB Rom, yes, but that doesnt mean your old rom has to be JB as well.
