Noob - HTC One S on T-mobile stuck on edge with S-ON

I recently purchased a phone on ebay in great condition. It was locked, and was on stock rom. I decided I liked how my custom rom operated on my other phone so I unlocked, rooted, and added a custom rom (initally Cyanogenmod, then I tried PacMan) using this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427.
Regardless of the ROM, I haven't been able to get anything over edge data speeds. I've checked the APN settings and they are correct. I have an unlimited data T-Mobile plan.
Here are some pieces of information that might prove helpful:
***TAMPERED***
***UNLOCKED***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.0000
RADIO-1.13.50.05.31
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot

I was told that going back to stock ROM would fix this but that can't be the only way to get 4G...help?

The HTC One S
According to the seller, the phone's model is PJ40110.

My phone got stuck on EDGE after updating to the official JB OTA. I've tried a lot of things and have yet to find a fix. Might have to resort to sending it in for warranty, if possible. Looks like yours is on JB. Did you update it, or did you get it like that?

I got it like that, then I updated it and still stuck on edge. Once I have tampered with the bootloader can I still use the warranty?

Going to try downloading the appropriate RUU to see if that fixes it.

Have you tried forcing it to WCDMA only in *#*#4636#*#*?

There is no RUU yet for t-mobile JB, not that I know of.

See attachment - when I do WCDMA only I get no data...

I'm beginning to wonder if it was a hardware issue...perhaps a bad antenna?

Doubt this will help, but have you thought about trying to S-Off and then running an old RUU (ICS)? It sounds like it could be a hardware issue, though, as you mentioned.

I'm working on that now, currently getting error: device not found once I type adb shell to get SUPERCID. Looking at other posts to figure out how to get this to work. Phone connected to computer and showing FASTBOOT USB so the computer sees that it is connected. Once I get SUPERCID then I can get S-Off and try going back to ICS.

With adb shell, am I supposed to have my device driver files in the "platform tools" folder so the adb server can identify my phone? HTC Sense and drivers are already installed and work fine.

Nope, just need HTC Sync, then uninstall it (so you're left with only the drivers) and get adb and fastboot files.
Edit: I don't think adb works in fastboot, works while booted only.

I've read that people that updated to the T-Mobile JB OTA can't get super CID, which means they can't get S-OFF. Let us know if it works out for you though.

I know you mentioned ADB not working when in fastboot. As a poster mentioned before, ADB only works when phone is booted up, not in fastboot. Make sure you have Debugging checked in developer options in the settings menue. I'm almost certain when you SuperCID, you start off with a booted up phone, not in fastboot, so that my be where you are running into an issue.
Also, do you have a custom recovery installed at this point? Just curios. Will your sd not mount in recovery, or just in general.
Keep working. You'll sort it out and learn a ton in the process. That's why I love XDA. Super helpful community.

I'll try ADB in regular bootup once I get sdcard to mount. This is in recovery...the latest clockworkmod recovery, I tried running Viperones rom and it happened sometime around 2 this morning, the details are a little fuzzy, I'm pretty sure I saw red and starting hitting my head against the wall and collapsed in tears and anguish

Been there and definitely understand. It can be frustrating, but I feel like most issues can be sorted out. Have you tried a different USB cord or port on your computer. Seems silly, but I've had similar issues, search high and low on xda, and someone suggested to try to different cord and it mounted. These phones can be moody.
Good luck and report back if you need more help.

Once I can find and flash stock recovery I think I'll be one step close to accessing my sdcard, and from there stock ROM or ICS ROM so I can get superCID, and then S-OFF.

[Q] HOX freeze isssue (on battery)

sorry if this isnt the placce for this question to ask.. I have a second hand HOX.. it was rooted before i purchase it cant remember what was the ROM. so I've flashed it to CM 10.1 RC5. worked for about one hour. after that its statrs to freeze. tried flashing with stock jellybean no luck.
I have noticed one thing that the phone doesnt freeze on charging (using pc USB or Charger). I can do anthing like browsing internet, play games etc. once i pull the USB cable its freezes please help... thanks in advance..
(cache cleared, factory reset, etc did all the things have to do...)
and also changed the battery of my device. with a frnd of mine.. no luck..

You left out the most important details, what are your bootloader details?

All threads marked with Q should be posted on this section.

I'd suggest running the latest RUU. But as mentioned above, more details are needed. If the phone is SuperCID (very likely is, if its a modded AT&T version) and S-on, running the 3.18 RUU will brick the device.
If RUU doesn't help, it might be a hardware problem.

Well, you didn't do everything, otherwise there would be no point in you asking what to do.
Just a pet peeve of mine when people make statement here like "I tried everything". Be specific as to what you exactly you tried. Otherwise, we have no way of knowing what has been done or not been done, and its hard to help.

[Q] Sensation xe continuesly restarts, restart loop, help

htc sensation XE
Hi to all, I’m a newbie to the site and therefore apologies in advance if I’m asking or going to ask simple, newbie questions. I hope someone can help me, many thanks in advance
I went on holiday - whilst abroad I used my phone extensively to take pics, vibers calls, whats app and gps tracking without the SIM. on return when I touched home soil and placed my SIM into the phone it started rebooting in a constant loop i.e. I’m powering the device and it loads up to the home page and then restarts.
What I have done so far, very reluctantly: wiped the cache and restored factory setting with out the SIM card and the SD card - result = NO JOY
Can anyone help me please??? I keep reading that the phone may require flashing, can someone give me step by step instructions.
Much appreciated

Can you confirm if the following is correct - just been reading a little about fastboot - am i correct in understanding that i have to download SDK to my pc/laptop and then connect my phone via usb thereafter, i need to go into bootloader of the phone and select fastboot, and then issue the command via the PC. What does the command do? many thanks

Correct. The command gives information about the board (the phone itself). Some of it is firmware version and many more. For security reasons when you post it to anywhere, remove the IMEI number and Serial.
Also, There is an issue when connecting to 2G networks on some devices that the device reboots. Can you try locking it to 3G only? (On the dialer Type *#*#4636#*#*, then choose "phone information", and there there will be a drop down list of network modes, choose WCDMA Only).

many thanks, i need some guidance, can you point me to a step by step guide if there is one available?

@astar26 I asked him to post this so that it is clear what we're dealing with.
Before going into flashing, make sure you have tried all the obvious ways like battery connections, change of SIM card etc.
The easiest way would be to do an ruu. It will reflash all your partitions and can help you out. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
Alternative is to unlock your device and flash custom Rom. Since you did a factory reset already follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 to unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Then either flash the ahrd Rom (link in the thread) or the stock one again
THESE METHODS WILL MAKE YOU FORMAT YOUR PHONE AGAIN (YOU'LL LOOSE YOUR DATA).
Happy to help.

many thanks again for the reply
I can’t get that far i.e. to the keypad, the phone starts, I see the htc logo and then it seems normal for maybe 2/3 seconds and then reboots. I have to remove the battery to power it down otherwise it continues the restart boot loop over and over again. I can get to the bootloader if there is a way to do it from there please provide newbie instructions.
Also the bootloader is unlocked - the previous owner unlocked it (I have had the phone like this since it was 4 months old and has been absolutely fine)
I’m thinking if it’s not a hardware issue then to flash the ROM and see if it resolves it. Now my issue is that I haven’t done anything like this before and when I Google for info it’s a bit like opening up a can of worms lol.
Am I correct, please confirm the following and put me right please

1:As the bootloaders unlocked can I download htc syn to my laptop, then download the correct RUU to the laptop, thereafter connect the phone via usb and boot into the bootloader and select fastboot, after selecting the fastboot option it should change to fastboot usb. Once this is done I can run the RUU and job done. (Is this correct)
2:According to an article I read my phone has a codename, is the codename for my phone Pyramid?
3nce I know the correct codename I can download the RUU from ‘shipped roms’ (http://www.shipped-roms.com/?category=android), Also at this stage when I select Pyramid I get a load of options for various RUU’s – which one is the correct one? And how do I know?

1) Bootloader unlocked means you can flash custom ROMs, but not firmware (only via RUU).
2) Yes, it is Pyramid
3) Since you are not S-Off, you need the exact RUU for your CID, which is HTC__001 in your case, which means you need a WWE one (good for you, as this one is easily found).

1)you are correct:good:
but i think you don't need htc sync(i am not sure for that)
2)sensation/xe/4G's codename is pyramid
3)the ruu have to correspond with your region(same firmware or higher) and your cid
you can also see Far_SighT's post for RUU
but i suggest to flash first the stock rom from recovery
if you don't have a custom recovery flash 4ext(again from Far_SighT's post on how to flash it,only step 2)
then from recovery :
nandroid backup just in case
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
done

Many thanks to all that have replied and viewed with the intent to help
I have managed to resolve the phone using the guide provided. I downloaded an RUU.
It was quite interesting doing all this 
I flashed the phone with an identical ROM i.e. version 3.33.401.153 – so I’m guessing whilst on holiday something happened which caused the software to get corrupt!
Next question, is it possible to flash the ROM again but with maybe the latest firmware – if yes can someone recommend an RUU.
many thanks

if you used a RUU with 3.33 firmware then you have the latest

@astar26 has the right idea. I had this issue for a long time, and after my own investigation I concluded that it was either the phones connection to 2g was resetting it, or I damaged the cpu by heavy overclocking. But the fix for the former helped me very much. One thing to note, if you can power up the device and have it perfectly without your SIM card in it. Or you can power it up with the phone in aeroplane mode then it tends to help the rebooting stop for a little while when your simcard is reactivated

I flashesd stock rom few times, even tried few custom roms like MiUi v5, and now I'm running it on Google play edition rom and still having reboot problems on 3g network
Any idea or suggestion what to do?

i think this problem is not about the rom or flashing or anything about system, i finely rooted my htc sensation and instalet many roms, the last one is Rnny KitKat, and i still have the same issue. so i give up now and i will just use the 2g and wifi

I'm using 2G for now, but it's slow, I wanna use 3G.

Found the FIX for our problem!:good:
Just when I was about to give up on this cause I tried enything that was suggested online i downloaded XLMultiTool.v2.1 from this forum and flashed new radio into my phone. I was using ICS radio and now I flashed GB radio just to see if that helps, and it did!!!
My phone is over 48h on 3G network and I didn't have single reboot!! Plus internet is super fast and smooth and I have better network signal with this radio!
Someone please make thread about this in development part of forum so other people with this problem can fix their phones! I'm unable to do that cause I don't have enough posts or something like that...

Someone help me please. I just got HTC Sensation 4g. When I'm in big cities like one where I study, this phone works perfectly. When I go home (a small town) my phone keeps restarting like retarded. I tried switching from 3g to 2g but that doesn't work.

Stuck on 3G

Long time M8 user with S-OFF and root. Been using GPE H11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...om-htc-one-m8-gpe-stock-custom-aroma-t3254245) for the last month with no problems until about a week ago when the phone mysteriously got stuck in 3G mode. This weekend tried a lot of things to no avail.
Toggling preferred network from Global and LTE/CDMA
Factory reset via ROM
Full data erase in TWRP 3.0.0.1
New SIM card
Installed mostly stock RUU (DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_SF_6.0_RUU.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972)
Restored stock NAND (VZWm8StockNAND.zip - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972)
HTC Sync Manager - Verizon Software Repair
Both Verizon and HTC support have exhausted all their options and state it must be a hardware issue with the phone. Out of warranty and I dont feel like upgrading, so exploring any other remaining options left. Attached are logcats (captured from syslog) from a stock MM verizon nand (with supersu 2.65), in case you happen to find the smoking gun on the root cause.
Suggestions?

Try flashing the s-on Android 6.0 ruu, then do a factory reset from within bootloader (key is doing this with stock recovery which the s-on ruu has and the s-off one doesn't) to reset NV radio partition.

No offence intended... but have you encountered this situation before and those exact steps were the solution or is this a shot in the dark guess?
Does S-ON really need to be enabled again for a factory reset to reset the NV partition? What's the logic behind that it only gets reset when S-ON vs S-OFF?
Has sunshine been updated so it now can s-off a verizon m8 on MM? Basically not looking to go through all that hassle again, if possible

1) Yes actually I have done this last week, and this is the only known way to reset the radio NV partition.
I wouldn't waste my time posting nonsense.
2) You are not going back to S-ON, did I give you the cmd to set back to S-ON? No... I gave you an S-ON RUU (it's more complete to help your situation). If you don't want help to fix your issue and are going to question a known DEV.. why make a thread asking for help? (I think you can see I am no noob).
3) If you read my post fully... "Try flashing the s-on Android 6.0 ruu, then do a factory reset from within bootloader (key is doing this with stock recovery which the s-on ruu has and the s-off one doesn't) to reset NV radio partition."
I said nothing about going back to S-ON (I said that the S-ON RUU has the stock recovery and the S-OFF one doesn't, and you need to perform the factory reset with the stock recovery). I am not going to make it so you either have to re-pay for Sunshine, or they don't have support anymore without warning you. I told you the key to resetting the NV radio partition, which IMO is your best bet to solve your issue.
Best of luck. It helped me, and many others on GPe ROM with signal/radio issues. I hope it helps you.
If you have a better solution, or even another one, I am all ears and would love to have in on it.
:good:

Gotcha, thanks for taking the time to assist. Much appreciated.
Ok, so did more reading and S-ON also means stock/signed. How can I validate if the various RUU's I'm installing are signed or not instead of guessing? Or happen to have a link for a s-on ruu for MM? I've tried various RUUs from dottat thread...

Done.
Installed DOTTAT_VZWM8_M_S_ON_6_0_RUU.zip via fastboot:
- htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
- htc_fastboot flash zip DOTTAT_VZWM8_M_S_ON_6_0_RUU.zip
rebooted and waited for android to finish booting past the setup wizard.
Reboot back to HBOOT, selected factory reset. Saw the Phone image with the circle and down arrow, phone rebooted, optimized all the apps again, completed the setup wizard.
Still stuck on 3G.

Did you also only get 3g when stock ROM booted?

I basically gave up on the stock ruu resetting stuff by now. In reading over the various 'lost LTE' threads, I came across a few who claimed they got it back by installing CM13. Since by now, have nothing to loose, did that... and now its on LTE! CellInfo no longer shows the xxx as before... or is that the default for what it does when not on LTE?
does the order of the text in "preferred network type" actually make a difference in the order the RIL uses? Or purely visual for humans?
'bout to try going back to by NAND GPE backup and see if LTE sticks.

Awesome. GPE restored and LTE is still functional..... except given the speedtest seems 'fake' and more like 3G. Will do more testing tomorrow around town and see if any better speeds than in my basement.
What I really want to know is how CM13 appears to have fixed it. Was a developer a while ago and root analysis is very interesting to me, instead of glossing over the high level summary. I like the meat of the answer Ideas?

Might find answers in the thread u found the suggested cm ROM flash to fix. I'm sure others are curious as well.
If you still have the thread ID like to read through it myself. I'm finding that others had luck trying an older radio.img
And yea those are def not 4g speeds

Once I went outside (and wifi off) did another test and got 28/3 Mbps, which seems a bit better

Strange, the first post is same suggestion that I gave, then the last vagely explains CM. He was using CM previously 12.1 though (those are the CM forums..) so that makes some sense I guess. We're you ever using CM? I couldn't begin to explain as to why flashing a CM ROM would fix LTE.
Either way it's fixed, and this may hopefully help someone in the future.
Enjoy. :good:

Same problem happened again and same (and faster) solution fixed it.
Went to Europe, so dirty flashed Blues* GPE 5.07.1700.11 MRA58K.H11 over itself selecting GSM instead of Verizon. Phone worked fine with a local SIM a week with HSPA (no LTE since missing bands on phone). Once back in the USA, dirty flashed H11 again, this time selecting Verizon in the installer. Back to stuck on 3G.
Created NAND with TWRP 3.0.0.1, performed a wipe, installed CM13 (cm-13.0-20160507-NIGHTLY-m8.zip), went through the setup, and LTE was now present. Restored the NAND with H11 and still had LTE.
Makes me really curious what CM is doing differently than GPe to 'fix' this. Since a NAND restore doesnt 'break' it, the fix possibly resides in one of the many partitions?

Few months later, same problem, same fix.
No one still has any idea why this works?

Could probably tell you how to fix your radios without a factory reset. Just need some time this weekend to double check the syntax.
