When using wifi my Internet speed is great but if I use the Verizon network my phone stumbles around and is really slow to download Web pages or any data. Could a new sim card possibly fix this issue? S - offed, unlocked and rooted with stock recovery. Thanks.

No. A factory reset using stock recovery on a stock Rom could though.
Thanks for the feedback. A factory reset is a nightmare for me, I have a ton of work things on my phone that took forever to be able to not only install but also get to operate properly. Any other suggestion short of a factory wipe?

Nope. Specifically, stock recovery resets certain radio settings that can cause radio problems.
There's no way to just reset the radio? Not meaning to be a pain but damn it's a pain in the butt to redo everything after a factory reset.

That's correct. You have the HTC backup app? That does apps/texts/email accounts/desktop layout and more.

What do you mean by lose your bootloader? You won't lose it by doing a factory reset. If you're on stock it will bring you back to factory default settings and all apps and contacts will be lost. The contacts you will get back by signing into your Google account.

Do you mean root or recovery? There's no way to touch the bootloader as of yet...
You will be fine performing a factory reset. Make sure all your contacts are backed up with something like Google first or you will lose them all. The only way to remove all the ATT bloat is to root your phone and freeze it. I wouldnt recommend deleting anything off of the phone.
Recently I unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and succesfully rooted my device, but while I was tinkering with my device I accidentally wipe all data, partition, etc in TWRP now I guess I wiped out everything including OS !!!
How can I restore ? Do I need to flash new hammerhead image ?
Right now I'm following this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
It'll be great if anyone of you can point me right way.
You can just flash any custom rom using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2575150
Or
Follow the thread you posted to restore a factory image..
But restoring a factory image will unroot your device..
You have twrp so the first thing you did was make a nandroid, right? Live and learn.
Thanks for the help, I just flashed new image. Everything works good except wifi, random drops + slow speed.
I contacted google for replacement and they send me RMA form. Unrooted the phone, bootlocker locked + flag reset.

Huh? You're doing an RMA why?

Before rooting wifi problem was rarely occur now after rooting problem arise more frequently, now even after unrooting wifi is super slow sometimes not even connecting. I hate RMAing but seems like no other way.

Awesome advice. I made a nandroid of my N5 first thing after getting all my apps straight. Playing with flashing a rom in TWRP I did a manual "wipe data" which proceded to wipe out the entire SDCARD in the process including my nandroid. Sooooo.... Yes, make a nandroid but also back it up to your computer or dropbox right away.

Don't RMA it, there's nothing wrong with the hardware. All you have to do is reflash the factory image. If you didn't know what you were doing, you shouldn't have been messing around with your phone in the first place. Reflash your phone back to its factory state and next time do your homework before you start tinkering. People like you are going to cause Google to change their return policy so that returns are much more heavily scrutinized.

You know how to read right ? also I did reflashed to stock image and unrooted + locked bootloader but problem persists, what do you propose I do now ? I started loving my phone now I'm getting new one, it's hard for me too, it's like adopting a son.
So I'm S-off, Firewater, SuperSU, CWM, stock software, I have not loaded a ROM, fastboot flashed the nohbootimg firmware update, added the HTC browser, and flashed the OTA-killer.
Can I do a Factory reset without it messing something up? I'm having 3 issues that I want to see if a reset will fix, one is my alarm clock keeps turning itself off, another issue is that when I turn the phone on it seems to take a long time to "Prepare Sim card" , and the last issue is that I get a email "login failed" notice which is poping up before the phone starts seeing the data connection.
Thanks

If you are simply stock and rooted... you can factory reset using CWM without any issue.
Worst case scenario if you are backed up...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52115727
Since you have not installed a ROM I would think a factory reset would be a good first step. You will probably lose some if the customization you have done, but I wouldn't think you would lose root or anything like that. I believe a reset will just wipe the data partition ( maybe dakvik and cache as well).

Thanks! Just curious, I'm trying to learn as fast as I can , how does CWM reset differ from the the stock one?
And do you think that the CWM reset could help with the issues?

They both typically wipe the same partitions however the stock recover also resets some radio elements which is why you will always see me suggest to someone with radio issues to do a factory reset from stock recovery.

I used the reset in CWM and I'm going through the setup now, I guess we'll see if this helps. Thanks guys!!!
Well the alarm is staying on so far and I'm not getting the email login failure but I think I lost my CWM, guess I'd better reload it.
Interesting, I can't seem to get into my hboot mode? hmmmm
nevermind, I'm a dolt, forgot to turn off fast boot and I Still have CWM but when I select reboot I get a message "Root access possibly lost. Fix?" Anyone know what this could mean? Should I Pick "Yes - Fix Root" . I'd assume so, what the heck lets see what happens. lol
Hello!
I was running CM11 7/17 build and randomly my phone lost all phone service. Or so it seemed. So it seemed. I was able to call *228 to try to update roaming service. Well, it worked, except now, my phone stays in 3G and still doesn't seem to be full strength. Does anyone know what I need to do.
Also, I've updated to 7/27 CM11 and that didn't change anything service wise.
Thank you!

im pretty sure you dont want to use 228 on a smart phone, its not like a dumb phone that needs updates like that.
i would put stock on and see if you still have the issue.
if that doesnt fix it, or you dont want to do that, i would get a new sim card and see if that helps. you may have burned the 4g out of the sim.

Stock works fine. And I had this problem before when I used a locked boot loader ROM. But when I upgraded to KitKat and unlocked the boot loader and tinstalled CM11 everything was fine.
Is there a way to reset my phones cell/data service back? Instead of Verizon Wireless it just says T-CDMA 64 now as well.

i dont know exactly, i can only say what i would try if i were in your situation.
first i would re-flash the rom, just wipe cache's and system.
if no fix, i would try re-flashing only the modem's. edit the stock xml file and dump every line except the modem's and modem wiping lines then flash with rsd.
if no fix, i would have to say, a full wipe and re-install of the rom is in order.
if that dont fix it, i dont know what else to try.
i would do a backup before you try any of that, although its mostly useless, as you would just be backing up the broken setup. would just help to recover any data if you need to.

Okay. That was what I was fearing. But I'll give it a try when I get home! Thanks!!
I had the same problem, and I ended up getting a new SIM card. That fixed the problem, but I don't know if that was the only way to fix it...

Hello,
I'm having issues with WiFi, it doesn't connect to my home network at all. This is what I did..
I sunshine rooted/s-off with success then I fastboot stock recovery then took the ota. That went well, but the WiFi doesn't connect. Should I reinstall tarp and see if it connects or maybe flash the radio??
Thanks for your time.

You aren't the first. Can you backup and factory reset first to see if that fixes the problem?
I have a backup already, can I factory reset and still have my apn settings??
I'm still on stock recovery, should I flash twrp now??

No...Stock recovery is best for factory reset.
@dottat
So factory reset in stock recovery?
I'll still have my apn settings intact? Sorry I've only messed with a Sprint HTC one m7 ONLY on CDMA with no 4G LTE when I was on Guam. Now I'm afraid I'll lose settings I need to get it functioning properly.

I am having some wifi issues as well. I just tried a factory reset and the issue still remains. I will try doing the full RUU tomorrow, but off to bed for me for now.
My wifi issue is that it connects but constantly drops the connection. I haven't been able to make sense of it yet. I'm at work most of the time and this is where I notice it. I'm not sure if it is only here or happens on other routers, but I will keep trying to track it down.
Ok, I've tried to reflash stock recovery and redo what I did to take the OTA, but now it's just a RED triangle when it tries to install....
What am I doing wrong?
What/where can I find the stock recovery?
Also, I can't get into stock recovery also, to try and factory reset.
Also to add:
When I take the OTA is the phone still rooted? I remember vaguely that I wasn't able to use root apps at all, so maybe that's my issue with stock recovery.
Thing I am most worried about*maybe I'm overreacting* is carrier settings, when I factory reset or maybe doing a RUU, so guys please enlighten me about this.
