[Q] My HTC Sensation XE is VERY S-OFF ?!

Hi to all friends!
I have Sensation XE with S-ON... After doing all tutorials to S-off, my phone is still unusable for GSM Network
First OEM phone was with HBOOT 1.27.0000 .
This is what i do next...
-unlocket bootloader via htcdev.
-used this to S-OFF: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
- After few reboots, on HBOOT menu instead *pink* "JuopunutBear", shows "-revolutionary-" but.... its still S-OFF. Anyway i tried to go
-Change my CID to 11111111
-update my radio with Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M to use newest ARHD
-Installed ARHD 6.6.4 without problem
Now.... I have "MAYBE S-oFF", because still I can't use any SIM to work, here is screenshots:

Does anybody have idea what else I can do to this Sensation can work?
This is very tricky....

Having s- off is a good thing as it will allow you to flash custom roms and radios ( as long as you have super cid).
Have you tried any other radios? I flashed the latest 11.72.3504 radio for China to fix my reception issues but am not sure if it will work for you...

S-Off doesnt mean your phone is Sim-Unlocked, thats totally different, but easy to do

Hey friend... yep, i think that s-off is security off, or sim unlocked... But it seems it is different. Can you give me advice for best sim-unlock? Thanks!

Have you tried a different sim? sounds like the phone could be blocked/barred?

Yes, its work on 2 other mobile operators (we have 3 in total), on one (mine) doesn't work. What is blocked/barred? Is there solution for that?

HOw ever somehow i found saga-lbc-mod-v0.5.4, and its working but it cut off the wifi, cut of the mobile network and signal too, cant use my phone properly but i CANT install any other rom, i tryed to install original RUU OR Any other one but all the time INSTALL IS ABORTED :-sss

This is as simplest as it can get.
Edit : You do know htcdev unlock voids your warranty. What is written on your hboot, unlock/relocked/locked?

And as a follow up, removing SIM Lock on the DS is not something you can do for free. XTC-Clip is your friend.

Try switching to gsm only or wdcma only. Probably it was switching between signals.

Edit your imei number out of the post, and try hitting the reboot option and see if it boots. They probably meant carrier unlocked

Care to provide details of what you may have done?
The bootloader screen you posted is not the problem, they always say locked at that screen until you either unlock it or relock it. Locked bootloader as has been mentioned is completely different than SIM unlocked for any GSM carrier.

but i not sure it completed or not,
the problem is that this message screen is always shown up and I can't open the phone.
thank you so much for ur replay

So everything was working fine with the phone until you accepted the OTA update?
What happened during the update that makes you think it never completed?

It said battery must be more than 30% though the battery was full , and I tried another time but it said connection error.
Then the phone never opened again and the boot screen showed up.

Download that, and follow these instructions. It can be done on windows in the same way. Minus searching for the ROM.zip, because that is what you are downloading

S-off and superCid

Hy,
I have an TMOUS HTC One S PJ40110, with the HBOOT - 2.15.000 and RADIO - 1.13.50.05.31 - Unlocked by HTCDev.
This cellphone is from US but is in Angola with the mobile provider UNITEL.
My problems are:
- When i flash a rom and insert the SIM card for the first time, I get HDSPA, but i receive a message like "privileges Changed", then i get stuck in 2g
- If i flash a rom like CM10 the cellphone cant connect to my Wimax router.
Just checked all apn settings and they are ok.
So, i try to S-OFF And Supercid to install an european RUU, i've followed step by step these tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911), get no errors but still the CID doensn't change from T-Mob010.
Now i'm in official cm10. Sory for my poor english.
Best Regards

Someone could help please??
Can i supercid with HBOOT- 2.15.0000? i've tried several times, get no errors, but the cid doens't change.
Please need some help here

doesn't matter which hboot you are. if you're S-OFF you can do in fastboot mode "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

I have the same problem with the cid not changing and my radio is half flashed and I cant flash an ruu untill someone finds a way to change the cid again.
Im not s-off

I'm not S-Off. The s-off thread says that i need to be superCid to S-off. But i can't get supercid.
I just keep reading threads about Stuck in 2g and can't find a way to fix this error.
I believe that this is not the radio frequencies, because when i insert a new sim card, it get's 4g like 5 seconds. then a message shows and i get stuck on 2g.

Do you know what the message says? Try going into the dialer and pressing *#*#4636#*#* and forcing WCDMA Only.

It's not possible to get scid, and S-off on OTA updated JB devece, the partition is WRITE-protectet . We need to wait for new metod to write s-cid.

I took the JB OTA and it worked fine. Same goes for most other people. And also, the S-OFF exploit was released after the JB update.

Ville S4 - No Mobile Data after flashing CM 11

Hi all,
I got an HTC one S (ville S4) that used to be a branded phone for TMO Germany. Assuming there was no SIM lock (or that it would be removed by changing OS), I flashed CM 11 on it and now want to use it with Orange PL. Telephony and messaging is working just fine, but mobile data refuses to work.
Here is a list of what I did:
Confirmed APN settings
Checked with different SIM of same provider - same result
Checked with same SIM in different phone (galaxy s3) - worked like a charm
Tried with TMO PL SIM in ville S4 - worked like a charm
Checked endless forum entries to no avail - either I am not knowledgable enough or links are broken or the issue described is slightly different
Made radio logs for ville s4 with Orange PL SIM and with TMO PL SIM - I can supply the relevant parts - generally though I hoped it would tell me something, but it doesn't really do that...
In short, I think I might have a SIM lock still in place which messes up my phone. I found a guide on how to remove SIM lock, but for this, I would need to be on stock. I found some links to RUUs, but most of them seem to be borken, and I generally do not know which is appropriate.
Questions:
Is there a way to remove a potentially left over SIM lock without making changes to the general setup I have atm?
Can somebody please supply a stock RUU for my phone? Would the one below listed below work?
Thank you so much!
Best wishes,
Friedrich

Your problem seems to be very specific. Thats probably why you get no answers. Your phone was TMO branded, means the radio is TMO version too. The solution could be to S-OFF your phone and flash unbranded EU firmware including radio.

Hi LS.xD,
Thanks for taking the time to reply! Very much appreciated!
I was already thinking about flashing different radio and S-OFF the phone. However, none of the guides I found for achieving S-OFF seemed to apply for me as I felt some prerequisites weren't met by my specific case. Do you happen to have experiencing with S-OFF'ing a HTC ONE S?
If S-OFF wouldn't work - is there another chance to get another radio version and/or firmware installed?
Thanks again!

Try flashing a stock RUU or sense based rom. Then use rumrunner.us to gain S-OFF.

Howdy! So I went back at this and, oh boy, did that work.
I tried some roms and ended up with MIUI from here. Ironically internet worked without problem using this ROM...
I then followed all instructions from rumrunner and it worked like a charm. Fast boot is hidden away in a different place though on MIUI and I can also confirm that on Ubuntu 14.04 64-Bit rumrunner is working despite being not supported.
All that just in case someone else will have the problem too.
Now I am trying to figure out how to install new firmware and / or change my CID from t_MOB101 - but I guess I'll manage eventually...
Thanks for the help so far!

If everything is right your device will be listed, otherwise you'll have to reconnect it.
Are you still running Linux? Fastboot must be executed as "root" or with "sudo" prefix

Yes, I noticed... I flashed boot.img so many times with S-ON. I tried a couple of times and then simply used "sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader" to check if there is anything at all. After that it just worked with "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" - upon rebooting another time into bootloader, now all is shiny! I still think the better explanation for this is that I did do some stupid mistake, but well...
Thank you so much! Just so you know: you helped me fix something that was bugging me since Christmas! So _really_ appreciate the help!
And with proper CID internet is working too! F**K YEAH!
