Hello I have been working on unrooting my EVO 4G LTE the past couple of days and now find myself signed into XDA-Developers late night in panic mode
-I attempted to complete regaw_leinad's guide on unrooting but have been unsuccessful.

- I executed LazyPanda S-OFF for my EVO 4G LTE and it completed successfully but then sent my phone into a activation loop. I am new to the site so am unable to post to the thread for assistance as I continue to read of known issues and hopefully posting here will get me some quicker answers while I continue to read...

- I Attempted to run RegawMOD S-ON Writer and received message "Wrong Bootloader version. Can't Set S-ON."
- I then proceeded to contact sprint since my phone seemed to be dead in the water and I was able to get phone calls and text working thanks to the sprint representative who got me to the Mobile Directory Number(MDN) & MSID menu (Dial Pad ##443382#) changed to my 10 digit cell number. So at least I can call and text, but have no Internet or GPS. We attempted several times while on the call to 'Update Profile" but continued to receive the Error Code: 1233. The sprint folks advised me to go into a store to have the phone looked at to see what the problem is but obviously can't as it still displays ---LazyPanda--- under the bootloader and S-OFF. The sprint rep also asked if I had rooted my phone and I supplied the obvious answer of "No, what is that?"
I am currently running Stock w Goodies 2.18 ROM, & Build Number 2.13.651.1 and would appreciate any assistance or direction where to go from here to confirm if I am SOL.
Thanks
***UPDATE***
I found and ran the RegawMOD Bootloader Customizer to set the bootloader screen back to stock (LOCKED, S-ON, Boot message disclaimer gone), but I am still unable to flash a stock RUU? I have tried all 4 RUU's that are out there through "Charge Only" and "FASTBOOT USB" and continue to receive the Error 155?
At this point I am almost ready to visit a sprint store to have them look at the phone but I believe I still need to change back the 'Softare version' back to stock and I will be set.
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Yes, this old chestnut.
I realise that this problem is as old as Android itself, but it actually appears to be a bunch of different problems that manifest with the same symptom. I've tried all of the solutions I can find, and none of them seem to work.
I have an Orange UK branded Desire S that I recently acquired second-hand off eBay. To begin with, everything worked fine, but the phone hadn't been updated in a while so I applied all the OTA updates (3 in total), one after the other. After the first two it was also working fine, but after the third update it stopped connecting to the Orange network.
When I attempt to connect to the Orange network manually, I get “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network”. When I try the same SIM in another phone, it works fine. I unlocked the phone using a code and tried a Vodafone SIM, but that didn't work either. I've tried removing the battery overnight, no luck. I searched a IMEI database to see if it was blocked, and it isn't. I've tried repeatedly switching airplane mode on/off, which doesn't help. I've tried a hard reset, through the phone menu and also via the boot menu, without success.
When I type *#*#4636#*#* to enter the service menu, I can see that the phone is receiving a signal, so the antenna's working OK.
Now here comes the odd part. When I try to change the wireless band to 'WCDMA Only', it refuses to change and stays put on 'WCDMA/GSM' mode. It doesn't matter if I use the service menu or go through the 'Mobile Networks' settings, it still refuses to change.
I'm open to the concept of flashing a custom ROM, but I don't want to invalidate any warranty I may have unless that's the only option. I'd like to try flashing an RUU, but I can't find a suitable one. The only Orange ROM in this post appears to be French language:

Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue with a HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) on stock ICS.
I bought this second hand phone and bring it back to Venezuela. The phone worked swell with local carriers but suddenly lost signal and got the infamous “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network” message.
I've tried every solution posted on the net with no results, leaving rooting as the last resort.
So, before I begin rooting my phone I just wanted to ask if you found any solution to this. :fingers-crossed:
Any help would be much appreciated! :good:
So,
I've rooted my phone. used HTCdev, juopunutbear, clockworkmod, installed Superuser and got super CID. Also, I called my carrier and checked that my IMEI was not blacklisted (just to be sure).
Messing around with the hboot I found something that I'm not quite sure what it means, in the SIMLOCK menu I found this message:
FAT32 init OK
Open MCCMNC file fail
Open CID file fail
Process done, reboot device?
<vol up> Yes
I've changed the CID to the original stock and got the same message. I don't know what it means and if it is related to my problem. I'm still using the stock rom (OTA ICS 4.0.3 T-MOBILE) planning to install OrDroid 9.0.0.
I really need some guidance over here. :crying:

Sorry to hear that. I'm still stuck with it.
I've flashed Ordroid 9.0 and the same error appears everytime I try to get signal from any carrier.
Someone told me that I should try flashing the radios or change my IMEI but I really don't know how to do it and I'm afraid I could permanently damage my phone.
Still waiting for fresh ideas to try.
Good news! (at least for me)
After I've tried almost all to solve the issue I took the phone to my carrier to get my sim card changed. they told me that someone has reported my phone as stolen in my previous carrier. So I went to the other carrier with my proof of purchase and they unblocked my phone IMEI right away.
If by any Chance you're having this same issue make your phone checked by your carrier for any kind of locks before messing with your phone.
Hope my experience will help any of you.

I loved my ChaCha so much I bought a second Black version from Canada's mobile network Telus. Of course it must be tweeked to get the most benefit, so I went to HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. When I run the RUU it tells me that I don't have the latest version. The Telus RUU on HTCDev is 1.24.661.1, but I already have 1.24.661.2 installed. I am lost as to what to do next. I've looked through the forums to find a similar situation but am unlucky.
What I am trying to do is make it so I can get data using my AT&T SIM (voice works, but not data), and run Didije's Custom Stripped Rom.
I guess what I am asking is ...
1. Is there a way to roll my RUU version back?
2. Does anyone have the Telus WWE RUU version 1.24.661.1, executable (.exe)?
3. Is there a way to get root with my current setup.
4. Any workarounds come to mind?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

I ended up finding a thread that explains how to work this. Simply put, just go to the next step. At the HTCDev site, you do not have to install the Updated RUU. Just scroll to the bottom and click, "Next Step."

Thank you! I reported this to HTC back in August, but they said just keep checking back. I didnt notice that there is now a notice on the RUU page saying "If your RUU is newer than the one listed below, skip this step and go to the next step"
Had given up hope for rooting this device - 4 apps and i am already getting "no memory" messages
A while back I attempted to root my phone on my Macbook Pro. I sort of gave up half way through because I was unable to find a tutorial detailed enough to unlock the bootloader. Basically, what I did was change my CID to 1111111, and then I did a factory reset hoping that to OTA Jellybean update would have been sent out from AT&T. Scratch that.... When I use the CID Getter app, it says that my CID is back to the stock "CWS__001," and now I have access to a computer running Windows 7 64bit... I am using this video tutorial.
I am able to backup my phone two times, but when it tries to fetch my CID, it says that it has already been unchanged. That is as far as I am able to go... I still have the token from when I tried rooting the first time, and htcdev.com has sent me the unlock_code.bin. I tried to just go ahead and run it via command prompt, but it just says "waiting for device." I know that the drivers are installed correctly and up to date, HTC sync isnt showing up in my task manager under processes OR service, the device is in USB debugging mode, I have tried it without disable fastboot before rebooting it in bootloader mode, and I have tried it disabled as well. I am stuck here. Am I going to have to try and flash a RUU or whatever, because I am new to rooting android devices. I am pretty savvy when it comes to this sort of stuff, but I am at whits end... What should I do?
What do you mean by "factory reset"? A factor reset or running the RUU will not change the CID.
It seems you meant to link a video, but didn't, so I'm not sure what procedure or tools you are trying. I would advise trying the all-in-one toolkit to temp root and change the CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426
My other advice would be to read up on the actual guides posted here on XDA, rather than rely on video walkthoughs that just spoon feed you the steps without actually requiring you learn anything.
SuperCID doesn't prevent you from getting the AT&T OTA (although root and unlocked bootloader will). So if you've actually changed back to the AT&T CID, it was for nothing.

Hi all.
I have A HTC Sensation, on Orange (UK).
The handset was completely standard, untouched. I have followed the guide to unlock my bootloader using HTC dev.
It seemingly worked, and I held volume down and pressed power and verified that the text at the top said "UNLOCKED". great
When I booted the phone, it gave me the "fresh start" intro screens, which I followed through on.
Once completed, the phone loaded to the normal home screen, but now gets no signal. Its always 0 bars and "NO SERVICE" warning.
Only thing I have done is as above, so unsure what could have gone wrong?
Only thing I can think is that I chose the wrong "what phone do you have" option on HTCDev. I chose HTC Sensation (EU), as the phone is not on tmobile, and not vodafone, and IS european. However, tmobile and orange are now part of the same umbrella company, so perhaps something bad happened there?
Unsure what I should do next? Re-lock the bootloader? Any suggestions very gratefully welcomed! Thanks
Hmm.. that's really weird. Unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect your cell phone signals. I would run a RUU and see if that fixes the problem.
Here's the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26541170
Follow steps 2&3.
Before you do, try taking out your sim and putting it back in. I highly doubt you put your sim in the wrong way, but I did this before (I don't think I'm the only idiot out there)

Thanks. I'll follow that guide.
SIM card is in OK. Was I supposed to remove the SIM when I was unlocking the bootloader? I didn't do that.
Just waiting for the RUU file to download.
The guide says I need one with a higher or equal version to my main version. My main version is 3.x and the highest version I can find via the links in the guide are 1.x. Will this be ok?
I'm really not sure how the phone got this screwed up.If I did select the incorrect device type in HTCDev (i.e. I selected Sensation EU and should have selected Sensation Tmobile) would that possibly cause this problem?
Would it be worth re-locking, then unlocking using the tmobile device? Guessing I would be supplied with a different unlock_code.bin?
EDIT: Just checked and the tmobile device choice is actually for "tmobile USA", so looking like I chose the correct device after all.
RUU I had failed. As I say my version is 3.x and this was 1.x so I'm not surprised.
My exact version reads: 3.32.61.51
Can anyone suggest a RUU file that I can have a go with, or any other suggestions?
Bootloader is currently RELOCKED.
Thanks
Did you try this ruu?
http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...0U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198549_signed.exe
EDIT: try looking for your ruu here: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...riginal-roms&catid=65:htc-downloads&Itemid=98
The general ROM section has 3.32 versions.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Yes, I tried the first one you posted, which wouldnt work (too old presumably).
I will try one of the unbranded ones; but unsure if they are suitable as I have an Orange logo when I boot?
Thanks
Still waiting for the RUU to download, so will probably carry on looking at this in the morning now.
A little more info that might give someone an idea:
If i go into settings, and click on "Mobile settings" and go to choose carrier, the phone searches for carriers.
25% of the time it says "no network found"
75% of the time, it finds O2.
25% of the time it finds 3 or vodafone
It never finds orange. It seems it IS looking for networks though?
If I put the SIM card in my very old dumb-phone, it finds orange fairly quickly and connects.
Thanks for any help
There's another option. You can try to s-off your phone with ganeshp's guide and then flashing the 3.33 firmware which contains the newest radio and stuff.

Hi guys
Thanks to you both for your suggestions.
This morning I unlocked the phone once more, and still had limited service. I then re-locked once again, and as soon as the phone booted it had full service, and has done ever since.
I have no idea what went wrong (they HTC Dev article is pretty straightforward, so I don't think I did anything wrong), and the action that I did above (unlock, relock) I must have done 5 times last night without any effect.
I am still determined to root the phone, so will probably end up with another broken handset soon But at least I will be doing it at the weekend this time, instead of midnight on a Thursday when I have to work at 7 the next day!
Thanks for all the help, I'm sure I'll be back with more questions (problems!) soon.
No problem! Glad to try to help

So thanks for all the help. I'm a complete beginner, but the guides on this site are great and really easy to follow.
Hello
So I think I really messed up my Verizon M8. I wanted to convert the phone to the Developer edition, so I found a guide on supercid, S-OFF , unlocked bootloader and changed the mid to the developer unlocked version.
After I S-Off and unlocked bootloader and supercid, mid changed my phone I did a RUU for the developer version but it did not flash. It gave me a 155 error, so stubborn me I found a zip version of the RUU and flashed it. Now my phone will not exit bootloader mode and I have no working recovery or rom.
I tried to RUU back to Verizon but now I get an error 42 wrong model ID.
Any Help for me or do I have a bricked phone here?
Let me tell you I know I'm an idiot and should not have been messing with things I don't fully understand. Plus I have already got the talk from my wife and might be sleeping on the couch for a while, lol.
So I figure I would hand this over to some way smarter people and hope I can get my phone working again.
Thank you
