[HOWTO] [HTC One SV] Unbrand your phone to get the OTA updates

Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...

Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).

I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.

I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?

If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.

There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?

Is there any chance to make this for the k2cl ( boost mobile ) version?

old.splatterhand, you seem to know this and that about One SV. No chance for older RUU, right? I can't seem to find a clean WWE JB OTA update. I just want a clean, stock, not modified ROM from HTC and I thought RUU is the only way to go :crying: Any advices?

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:
rollon76 said:
To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.
reboot to bootloader and flash.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.

Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Yes, of course, everything is appreciated! You can use this thread, please post ruu name too. You can look at my posts there. Hboot, boot.img, recovery, radio, would be fine.

Did you use rollon's method and flashed PL80IMG.zip in bootloader mode ?

Even cooler for you.
Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?
Did you manage to apply it ?
Thanks and congratulations !

Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested

[How-to] HTC One XL (Telstra) - ROOT/ SCID/ SOFF/ T-SCREEN / CM10.1

This is for all the people out there who currently have the most up to date version of the stock HTC One XL (Telstra) software/ firmware 3.17.xx and wish to be able to install CM10.1 and other ROMS alike.
I found it very hard to find all the information out there to be able to do this and now that it is finally done I feel the need to share this valuable information to all who are possibly having the same drama.
Here it is!
Step 1 - HTC Dev Unlock
This is easy! go to the HTC website and unlock your phone via their steps, It's simple and you can't stuff it up.
***MAKE SURE YOU KEEP ALL FILES FROM THIS, AS YOU'LL BE NEEDING IT LATER ON***
***THIS WILL RESET YOUR PHONE SO MAKE SURE YOU CONTACTS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT IS BACKED UP***
***MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THE LAST STEP USING THE FILE HTC SEND YOU, AS YOU WILL NEED TO BE DOING THIS AGAIN LATER ON***
Step 2 - SuperCID
Firstly do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41482419
Once done, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155069& and follow exactly!
Step 3 - S-OFF
Click here and follow exactly!
For steps 5 and 6 I reccomend combing those two lines of code into a .bat file and the same with step 7.
Step 4 - Downgrade Touch Screen
You can't go wrong if you follow this think exactly!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863
Step 5 - Flash Custom Recovery
I reccomend CWM
Step 6 - Install ROM!
Ok! So you've done all the steps below and you're now ready for the best part!
1. Go to http://get.cm/?device=evita and download the latest CM10.1 nightly.
2. Locate 4.2.2 Gapps via a quick Google search.
3. Fully wipe your device from Recovery if you are not coming from CM10.1 already.
4. Reboot into recovery and install ROM and then Gaaps.
That's if and you're now done! You phone is now like every other Android phone out there and you can now install any ROM via the custom recovery! Without having to flash the boot.img seperatly.
If you want to go even further and get rid of the red text on boot about your phone being tampered, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156368&highlight=supercid

Any testing done on AT&T One X?

Sorry only tested on the Telstra version (being the model I have). I've had CleanROM 6 R6 on my model which was built for AT&T and that seem to work except for tethering and major battery pwnage and that to me suggests that this -may- work.
I can only suggest that you try it and let me know how you go. It would he interesting to find out!
Good luck!

Hi All,
Was wondering if these steps are still valid for software number: 3.17.841.9 with Android 4.1.1 (One XL Telstra)?
For instance, do we still have to downgrade the touchscreen?
Also, when the phone is reset (wiped) from recovery, wouldn't this also wipe the images that I've downloaded?
Would I still be able to use the stock telstra image unstill Step 6 (after step 4 or 5 is complete)?
Thank you...
Cheers

Yep, should still work. If the downgrading hboot part doesn't work, you can also use jet tool to downgrade hboot then just RUU after S-OFF

Not for cm10.1 on 3.4 beta kernel. And not for sense Roms. Just remember that it is a beta kernel and there are some weird glitches and a few reported bricks so if you have no plan if your phone happens to brick, you may want to avoid it until it's stable. The chances of bricking are extremely slim, but it has happened.

So long as you don't select SD Card when wiping, it won't touch your SD Card.

After flashing custom recovery, your stock rom may not boot unless you flash su in recovery.

Root?

Hi Guys,
I started with following this guide. Went through the HTC DEV process without a hassle (cancelled and backed everything up just before flashing the unlock token - Phew!)
Then I get to the first part of step 2 for the SuperCID and it seems to require root.
Austempest said:
Apparently the 3.17.841.9 update placed a write protection on the CID partition, so the only way to gain SuperCID, then S-OFF to install an AOKP Rom is to downgrade.
This will only work if you stay within the same HBOOT versions. 3.17.841.9 and 3.17.841.2 are both on HBOOT 2.14. Both root and SU is needed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've found a few other guides that did the Custom recovery ROM immediately after the HTC Dev. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2326329
This thread suggests that it should then be possible to flash SuperSU to gain root. I'd guess I can't skip a step to flash a Custom ROM directly due to the issues with the 3.17.841.9 update.
Is this the right way to go?
Edit: It worked. Then followed the rest of the steps for SuperCID and S-OFF. If we don't have to downgrade the touchscreen as per exad's post above, then I'm good to go! Woot!
Looking at the CyanogenMod page for the OneXL it has the following:
HTC One XL
CM Support: 10, 10.1
Notes:
The CM 10.1 builds require you to be updated to the newest 3.17/3.18 RUU (for the updated firmware and the 2.14 hboot). You also must downgrade your touchscreen firmware, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38304611&postcount=1

My phone is a Telstra HTC One XL (Evita). Current software is Android 4.1.1 Software Number 3.17.841.9

You no longer need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware to run the latest aosp builds. If you want to run older builds you will need to though.

Maybe out of wack :S
Hey all,
I hope this guide has helped some people, I know that with the HTC One XL doing everything can be a bit of a pain.
This guide was written up after I had done everything so some steps maybe out of wack. eg... Gaining Root before SuperCID.
I'll update this as best as possible and if anyone ever has any input to this to make things simpler then please just let me know.

Hboot 2.14.0000
Radio 0.23a. 32.09.29
OpeDSP - v31.1.0.45.0815

My first question is should I follow tesltra method or the AT&T rooting method since in a few threads I got the impression that I should be using the AT&T method but according to this thread I should be following this method.
Secondly I am by default S-OFF and super cid so do I need to unlock my bootloader to root?

Hey mate,
If you're Telstra I would suggest this method, my phone is Telstra and thus this guide has been written up for those users. If you're AT&T this may work for you, however there maybe some weird bugs to go with... Or it may work 100% and honestly I wouldn't know.
I would highly suggest unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery onto your phone. Having this has saved my ass heaps of times when I've been stuffing around with new settings from custom ROMS.

If it's unbranded, you can just go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader, then flash TWRP 2.6 recovery, then flash the ROM of your choice.

Well, it's my first post on here, i've been reading about rooting/custom roms etc. for a few months now and i couldn't seem to find a nice method to root my htc one xl. I just read here that all i need to do is to to unlock the bootloader, is that correct ? can i directly flash a recovery and a custom rom after that ? (i'd like to try cyanogenmod 11)
thanks in advance, and by the way i love this forum it's very enlightning.

Yes. Unlock your bootloader, then you can install TWRP recovery, then you can install a custom ROM. You might need a firmware upgrade first though, what are your bootloader details?

Firmware Update Q&A [extra noob friendly]

WARNING*WARNING*WARNING
do this at your own risk! This is for s4 only!!
It has been brought to my attention that there might be a mid (model id) conflict
With flashing this and me along with others are trying to narrow down the issue. Thanks to @real187 for bring this to my attention.
I'm
S-off
Cid 11111111
MID PJ4011000
And had no problems flashing this firmware but others with same setup have reported soft brick.
OK I think @mkinney88 may have pin pointed where the soft brick may be coming from. If you s-off using facepalm, flash the firmware.zip and get soft bricked try this.
1. Get back to s-on (warning read directions several times before doing you CAN hard brick your phone) ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38267667
2. Get s-off with moonshine ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42613403
First off this is mostly ment for the T-Mobile branded phones but ill try and help all please let me know when asking questions if you have a T-Mobile or HTC branded phone (it has it right on the front of phone ).
I'm starting this thread to have a place for noobs and long time users to ask and answer questions. This is going to be as noob friendly as possible but please keep questions firmware related only. So lets get started.
i really dont know how to make it any clearer then @mkinney88 did in his rom OP. all credit goes to him these institutions.

--> Unlock your device
Step1. download and use this program to unlock your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604677
Step2. SuperCID your phone so you can S-OFF and so you can also write the T-MOB010 CID if you are on a different carrier and want to run this ROM. You will need to be CID T-MOB010 if you want to run the firmware.zip Follow this to SuperCID http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26516911
Step3. After you have sucessfully unlocked your bootloader and SuperCID you can either S-OFF your phone or Not, it is up to you. I would recommend you achieve S-OFF so you can flash radios, kernels, and boot.img's. Follow this to achieve S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155135
If everything went well you should be able to reboot into bootloader using the All In One Tool and in the top left your bootloader should say Unlocked, S-OFF, CID-1111111
--> Writing T-MOB010 CID
If you did everything right then your all set. Next you will want to run the fastboot command " fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010 " and reboot into bootloader again. Now in the top left it should say CID-T-MOB010. If you have made it this far you are doing great. Now we are going to run the firmware.zip package to ensure everything works without a problem.
--> Flashing the firmware.zip
Now if you are coming from STOCK OEM LOCKED T-MOBILE PHONE that already has Andorid 4.1.1 Jelly Bean on it then you do not need to do this step. You must be CID T-MOB010 to flash this or S-OFF CID 11111111 (I had no problem flashing firmware with s-off and Cid 11111111 but others have reported problems so if you don't want to chance it write your Cid to T-MOB010)
1. fastboot oem lock
2. fastboot erase cache
3. fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, and you might get an error
5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip again and it should pass and install a bunch of files should take about 2 minutes.
6. the phone does NOT reboot on its own so #7
7. fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Now we need to unlock the bootloader again so just do step 1 again but you will already have the Unlock_code.bin from the first time you unlocked you phone so no need to get another one from HTC but if for some funny reason it doesn't work you will need to just resubmit for a new one.
--> CUSTOM RECOVERY
After doing all the above steps you will need to install the custom recover. You will need to use TWRP 2.3.3 to insure no problems. Here is the link to download it http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/vil....3.0-ville.img after you download it go to the DIR where you have the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit v3.5 extracted. example: C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.5\Data\Recoveries and in the Recoveries folder rename the downloaded twrp2.3.3.img to TWRPS4.img and replace the one that is in the folder and then proceed to install the recovery,
now youve followed that and now your stuck ether getting errors or phone is now acting all erratic? that's why you're here. go ahead ask any question you want about firmware noobish,dumb,anything as long as its firmware related. (sorry i cant tell you how to get the cute girl at the mall)

Bricks
First off if you can get into bootloader then you don't have a hard brick.
If your phone is in the black screen of death there may be hope but we're still trying to figure that one out.
If your phone doesn't respond to any input from you (power, power+volume down) then congratulations you have a hard brick but don't through it in the junk drawer just yet, you can have it jtag repaired (they open phone plug into main board and flash everything)

--> Unlock your device
Step1. download and use this program to unlock your bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604677
Step2. SuperCID your phone so you can S-OFF and so you can also write the T-MOB010 CID if you are on a different carrier and want to run this ROM. You will need to be CID T-MOB010 if you want to run the firmware.zip Follow this to SuperCID http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post26516911
Step3. After you have sucessfully unlocked your bootloader and SuperCID you can either S-OFF your phone or Not, it is up to you. I would recommend you achieve S-OFF so you can flash radios, kernels, and boot.img's. Follow this to achieve S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155135
If everything went well you should be able to reboot into bootloader using the All In One Tool and in the top left your bootloader should say Unlocked, S-OFF, CID-1111111
--> Writing T-MOB010 CID
If you did everything right then your all set. Next you will want to run the fastboot command " fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010 " and reboot into bootloader again. Now in the top left it should say CID-T-MOB010. If you have made it this far you are doing great. Now we are going to run the firmware.zip package to ensure everything works without a problem.

Bricks can't be recovered (unless you jtag) , you had a soft brick.
I had no problem doing this with s-off and Cid 11111111.
But I remember you from other threads and I have a few questions.
1. Is your phone t-mobile branded or htc? 2. When you first did the firmware update what was your hboot version?

thank you!

I'm on Stock JB 4.1.1 and my CID is BM___001, rooted, unlocked BL.
There is no RUU for this CID and only a JB OTA, The radio version and software version match with those of the phone.
my question is: Without S-OFF and SuperCID, Can I use the OTA.zip to be flashed for getting stock ROM? e.g if I am on CM 10.1 and I want to revert back to stock, can I use the OTA.zip?

OK since your on hboot 2.15 there's no need to upgrade firmware.
Since there is no RUU for stock the next best thing would to to make a back-up of stock using a custom recovery I would recommend twrp 2.3.3 (if you need help with this just ask that's what this thread is for)
Then I would copy the back up to your pc for safe keeping (you might even want to back it up on a cloud too I'd recommend goggle drive or Dropbox)

Thanks for the reply, really much appreciated.
I already have rooted the device and custom recovery TWRP 2.5. Though I am considering to downgrade it to 2.3.30. Now I made a backup of stock ROM. (System + Boot Partition)
So is this the only way I can get to stock?
I read somewhere that the following method could be used too(?)
S-OFF ---> Run an older RUU for Bell Mobility (probably ICS RUU) ---> Then update OTA.
Is this valid?

Yes, if an older RUU is available for your CID just get S-OFF first then use it. Then you'll be able to update via OTA.

This is very interesting to me because I have a unbranded one s from a small spinoff of T-mo in Iowa. I got s-off with facepalm and SuperCID at the same time, then on hboot 1.13. Now recently I upgraded hboot to 2.15 with a euro RUU, soft bricked but was able to recover with only a firmware flash. (details are a bit fuzzy right now) I didn't relock the bootloader, but did install stock recovery. Ever after this stunt I've had tons of problems with radio disconnects. I first thought my problem was hardware, but I just got it back from a very good repair shop and the same thing. Although better on a different carrier, I suspect only because the better carrier has stronger signal. I'm ready to try a older RUU or euro firmware or just about anything, this phone only has service 10% of the time where it used to be 100% right now I'm running the latest Trickdroid 10.3.2 Changing the fast.dormancy=2 helped a tiny bit but it's something more fundamental than that I'm thinking...

[Q] S-OFF F/W 3.14.531.17 (T-MOB) possible?

I have S4 Ville on firmware 3.14.531.17 and need to know if S-OFF is possible using whatever method available. Moonshine thread states that only 3.14.531.11 (T-MOB) is supported and haven't found any details in the Facepalm thread.

Look for 3.14.531.11. It should be available somewhere. Lock the phone back and RUU it. Then you can unlock again and S-OFF with moonshine.

He probably cannot downgrade from *.17 to *.11.
I don't know what parts of the firmware moonshine needs. But you could try downgrade using a OTA or Nandroid.

Same here
I'm pretty much stuck with a One-S Bootloader unlocked with S-on.
I can't find a way to get S-Off. Just googling and throwing prayers in the sky someone develops a way.

It took me 5 hours total to begin finding all req's and trying the above method, finding it not to work, redoing the RUU *.17 and getting BACK on CM10.2 and having a phone to make calls with. The method above took maybe 20-30 minutes of double checking and making sure i didn't miss something.

Maybe PM this guy. He posted that it moonshine worked on .17.

PM'd him for more info. Thanks!

So I was having problems getting s-off as well, eventually I got it done, but it was definitely a big trial and error process.
What I ended up doing was:
1) Get the 3.14.531.11 RUU from http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Ville (make sure you get the TMOUS one) This link is also provided in the first post in the Android development section
2) I ended up using Moonshine S-Off (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325590) but I needed to use it in conjunction with running it on Ubuntu. Luckily I had a spare hard drive lying around. If you don't, I believe you can run it through the CD as well as long your burn the Ubuntu.iso on a disc. Plug in your phone to the computer and let it do its magic
3) From there, if you wanted to, you can change to SuperCID. Since you have s-off by then, you can change it from the fastboot usb in the bootloader with the line fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (double check, i'm just writing off the top of my head)
4) Then install roms and etc through the usual custom recovery
Note. I tried the Maximus HD, yes it was nice, but it didn't allow me to utilize my phone as a hotspot, so I ended up using the Dark Jelly rom instead. So far it's been very nice. The hotspot works, but the tethering portion is still unavailable. Just my two cents.

I had a hell of a time getting S-OFF pyrocide
Just like you I had H-boot 2.15 and the .17 firmware
here is what you do... this worked for me

You might already have SuperCID, you can use a fastboot command to check. The command is:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
If it comes back as anything other than 11111111 you can use this method to get SuperCID.
Once you have SuperCID you can use this method to get s-off.

The 22222222 CID only applies to at&t phones trying to unlock their bootloader via htcdev, this is because at&t stock CID (cws__001) plus 11111111 CID have been blocked at htcdev. For your purposes 11111111 will be fine.

No problems, did you use the fastboot command the check your CID? I only ask because there are apps available which claim to display your CID but they show the original CID, not the current one.

A quick question - in regard to the facepalm link, it says "Download patcher and unzip it in your working directory" - can this be any folder on my phone (eg: Downloads)? I'm also guessing the other file (OneX.zip) goes in the same directory?

No you place the extracted patcher files and the PJ8312000-OneX.zip into your fastboot folder on your pc.
You need to have adb/fastboot and HTC drivers installed on your pc to do the s-off process.

You should keep better track of things you are doing or you will end like NASA on Apollo 1 and not knowing what went wrong.
To repair something you need to know what you did to break it.

Big thanks timmaaa, have upgraded successfully!
twistedddx, you're not wrong - i should have kept an eye on what i was doing. Luckily for me, all went well!
Thanks again.

Glad to see you got it all sorted mate.

Hi guys, since updating Android, i seem to find my service connection (no service) is being lost fairly easily - is there something i need to do in regard to this, or is it just me?!
Cheers

Which ROM are you on?

You either need to update your firmware to 2.15 or just flash the Beastmode kernel.

Thanks, when you talk about beastmode, is the following link what you are referring to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797251
Also, with firmware 2.15 - i would actually like to keep it as stock as possible, so perhaps the firmware upgrade would be the better option? I have found a link that looks like it goes to the correct download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45646878 - (see last post)
Would i be right in saying the instructions for updating the kernel would be the same as at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423735 - (OPTIONAL: Installing the Firmware)
Thanks again for your help.

The first link is incorrect, you can find the Beastmode kernel in our development section. The kernel you just install in recovery.
The last link you quoted is where you'll find the 2.15 firmware, and the install instructions see in the first post on that thread (it's a manual install using fastboot).

Thanks - looks easy enough. Can i ask what why i would install Beastmode instead of the firmware upgrade? From what i gather, it is to overclock the CPU?

You can leave the Beastmode settings stock, it's just an easier and safer fix rather than upgrading firmware. You can OC if you wish to of course. There's always a small risk involved with anything that touches your hboot.

Thanks, maybe i will install beastmode instead then if it will help fix my connection issues. Sorry, but would you be able to point in the direction of where it is in the development section, i cannot seem to find it.
I promise if this works you wont have to hear my noob questions anymore!!
