Has anyone seen this? My Sprint One has no Sprint branding (in software)....everything works as it should except I'm missing most of the settings in settings/mobile data. Sprint was unable to fix it & recommends swapping out....odd...I even called HTC, they were clueless, lol

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON
hboot-1.44
unlocked via htc dev
Possibly a bad/did not get a software unit flash at the factory whether it's Sprint or HTC that does the carrier specific branding. I'm assuming they flash all units with their standard image and then specifically flash their carrier image changes but looks like this one has not been given a carrier flash due to you not having any Sprint specific parameters under Mobile Data.
Try the official RUU and if that doesn't work get a new one.
Did you htcdev unlock it and root as soon as you received it? I did not and initially I had no sprint branding but as I was messing around with the phone it starting an update. Phone rebooted as if it had taken an ota. Does your phone show the sprint logo when booting? Mine initially didn't but after the reboot it does a now.

Yea I heard that the phone is completely HTC Stock at the time of purchase it's not till after it's been activated on sprints network that it then pulls down or loads their software on it. When I got mine from radioshack and the guy turned it on it had no sprint boot or apps then it went to a boatloader like screen and updated and then it boot with sprint animation and sprint apps. Was your box branded at all?

I can confirm this is exactly what happened in my case. I bought the sucka full price from sprint.com. Got it, booted up, no sprint splash screen. As I was setting up the device, I received an OTA which then rebooted the phone. I then saw the Sprint splash screen.
This may also explain why I had the calculator on the device...
I have the same here, I have sprint boot animation and voice mail, that's it. And operator is htc, everything has been working flawless, so a bit of a plus missing bloatware. Is yours having issues?

Trying to get my friends phone working on Straight Talk. So far, I found the APN settings but when I choose to add a new APN, enter the settings, and choose save... my APN list is still blank. Even after serveral reboots (I've read that sometimes that will make the new APN appear) it still does not show up.
I'm running CyanogenMod 10.0 with a fresh install after clearing all partitions and doing a factory reset. I've unlocked the phone with the app in the android market called 'Galaxy S Unlock'... I've tried everything I've read on the subject (and even had to re-flash from soft bricks)... What am I missing?
EDIT: I should note... after unlocking, my T-Mobile card worked without even editing APNs.

First off does the phone work for phone calls and text messages on StraightTalk? Secondly when you find APN settings in the phone is there any list at all? Clearly the phone is unlocked since you got it to work on T-Mobile so it's not that.
Also I'm curious where did this StraightTalk sim come from? Did it come out of a StraightTalk phone or was it ordered off their website?
Thanks for the reply... appreciate the help/direction.
Nothing appears in the APN list. It doesn't work for StraightTalk at all... no calls, text or anything. I'm guessing the SIM came with a StraightTalk phone but I'll have to ask my friend to be sure.

There's the problem. A sim out of a straight talk phone will not work. He will have to order one from their website and have it activated.
I'm assuming that is it then. This sort of thing makes me CRAZY! I will buy a SIM from the site (this friend of mine is past the age of online buying)... thank you for your help... I'll post how this goes, for future Android newbs like myself.

Keep in mind that I could be very wrong but I am on StraightTalk myself and have never had any issues with the sim I ordered. And considering that you had no troubles using the phone with your sim then I have to assume that's the case.
If anyone has any input on a SIM card from a phone package not working on a different phone, please let me know. It is about $20 after tax and shipping to get a SIM. We are thinking of just going the prepaid ATT route instead.

Well with StraightTalk they lock the sim card to the phone it comes with. So even if you had two phones from them you wouldn't be able to just trade out the sim card like you can with ATT or T-Mobile. Now if you get one of the sims off their site those will work in any ATT or unlocked phone.

After making sure you have a working modem (ugkg3 works great for me) you'll want to check and make sure you haven't lost your IMEI. It happens sometimes when you flash custom ROMs and that will prevent you from getting any service.

no cell coverage on straight talk with cyanogenmod
I have a galaxy s2 i727 with the cyanogenmod 10.1.2. I am a caveman newby (over 50) and i am not able to get more then 1 bar on the cell coverage and not able to make calls. Does the cyanogenmod effect cell coverage? should i use different apn settings? the wifi works perfectly well and i have received some texts. I live in nor. Cal and i believe straight talk is using att lines.
any help would be awesome!

The old one is the att.mvno APN but I deleted it so if u need that one you will have to search....
I would also search/ read about modems and what one may work good for your area. There are numerous threads (some stickied here) about modems. Try the APN first though to rule it out. After you make the new APN save it, select it, and reboot.....
Edit: I see you also have an s2 not a captivate so don't flash anything from here....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Also the APN will not prevent you from getting signal and receiving phone calls. So if you can't even receive or male calls you need to look into modems for your s2.
And a little more specifically in regards to the last post the two different apns depend on when you purchased a sim card from them. If you got one in the last year or so it will likely be the tfdata. If older it'll be att.mvno

What wasn't fair was when I lost my data and no one at ST could tell me why!! I had to read way more than I wanted to...From other posts around the web on the subject led me to believe the change was more to do with the 4g/lte towers. Seemed like at some point some users were forced to change to the new apn because they lost even 3g data using the old one.
Some have also posted about when traveling through certain areas, they had to change just the MMSC/MMS proxy back and forth between old and new to keep receiving mms.:silly:

Thus is my first HTC device. I won it via a One launch training in Philly. I was lucky enough to receive my silver One Tuesday 4/16. I am impressed. I have owned Moto and Sammy phones recently coming off the S3 and was a little skeptical trying this out. This phone solid and the screen is AMAZING!!!! All of my fears with owning a HTC phone have been quickly dissipated.
Thanks so much to Viperboy and his simple root thread. Although foreign, he made it simple and easy. I'm an AOSP'ish guy so I'm eagerly awaiting what awesomeness lies ahead!

The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.:...
and it goes on to later also state... "In their devices, HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.
Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted."

s off means the nand can be written to. With security off, can flash unsigned img's like splash, hboot, etc.
It is virtually assured that an exploit will be found and we will have s-off within a few weeks. Historically that is the case for every htc device to date.

So I habe a friend who owns the Optimus G. He somehow wiped his EFS partition. This S-on, is that one of the things HTC is trying to protect?
I'm already getting a good vibe from this community. I don't mean to bash the S3 forums, they were very helpful, but too many trolls and wannabe mods. This community alone is making this device enjoyable. And most of you dont even have one yet.

I also came from the s3 forums. :thumbup:
Im not exactly sure, but I would assume so, as the EFS has control over IMEI number and I would assume HTC would want to maintain control over that. Buuuuut s off does have its advantages, such as states above. Custome firmwares and boot images and the like.

The Sprint HTC community is very hard to beat... Over the years I have endured some device and carrier specific hiccups just to stay around this particular group of people.
Sometimes I have gone to other subforums when working with a friend or family members phone of different brand or on another carrier. The vibe is always just wrong, the people are usually absurd with their answers to any question. I hope you enjoy your stay here.
True true. Ive been a member of a few different communities over the years but I always felt more at home and surrounded by friends in the OG Evo and Evo3D forums. You guys are great.

My first HTC device also. Came from S3, Skyrocket, Atrix, and yes I know......an iphone. I want to root and put a rom on it but I'm being very cautious. I dont know this device very well yet so I'm gonna keep reading.
Same here. I spent over a year on the Skyrocket forums, and they could be touchy to say the least.
This is also my first HTC. Technically I had the Hero for 2 days but went with the Moment instead.
I'm coming from the OG Samsung Epic. Great group on their forums for the most part but this community seems great as well
Very cautious with rooting this as my last phone was practically unbrickable. I'm normally an AOSP guy but there are lots of features on here that I woukdnt want to part with. Hopefully we see a 4.2/5.0 update soon.

I'm sure it's with Sprint, but they dropped this to the Dual SIM model before the first international model.

And with 4.3 on the horizon... I still love HTC, this is just one of those parts about company that worry me.
The good thing is we at least know what we're expected to see with the update.

I've already engaged in a email conversation with HTC Dev and they ensure me that updates are coming soon and they are working on releasing the sources as well soon(sounds like everything else we read but it's nice they are directly communicating with me).

Only thing missing, time frame. I don't even need an exact date. I just need something from HTC like "Middle of July" or even something from Sprint saying, "Expect it in July".

It's not HTC. There are many parties involved when an update is released on a Carrier phone as opposed to a unbranded phone.

I appears that this update being pushed to the phones if China Telecom or some other Operators. The rough order is Google releases an update. OEMs get it working on theier hardware and add there stuff to it. Then the OEMs send it to unbranded phones and/or the Operators for them to put their stuff in it and test per thier networks. Then the Carriers push an update.
My guess here is that the Chinese Operators did not care to do much testing or what they did was fine, where as I read HTC was not happy with some of the firmware in the 4.2.2 update and have slightly delayed pushing thier's out. That seems awfully scary if an Operator is rushing something out.

Seriously... These kind of things make me regret being on sprint. Already our GSM brothers on GayT&T & Fail-Mobile converted their devices to Developer editions & Unbranded devices. We're stuck with stupid CDMA policies

You just dissed every American carrier that carries the One.
Even the sprint and Verizon GS4s received GE edition ROM ports, which has me going crazy. I'm seriously considering ditching my ONE for the GS4. Not to mention the signal for LTE on this phone is seriously getting to me in places I had perfect LTE with my GS3

No demanding. Just frustrated with HTC at this point. 4.2.2 was supposed to be out mid June. It is now July. I had confidence in the ONE but I'm losing it quickly and so are some other people. No projected date, statement, acknowledgment to customers. This is why I left the EVO LTE. I had a soft spot in my heart because of the original OG Evo but it is starting to leave.

There was never a time table. There were rumors that 4.2.2 was supposed to hit in June. And this was for unbranded EU handsets not the US ones....

Regardless, it's been too long. Especially not relaying information to your customers. When your competitors updating older devices quicker than your newest device. That's sad.

I'm a firm believer that VZN and LG both couldn't get figure out a method to properly secure KK. I think the final OTA will have some method to ruin someone's day. My opinion, VZN is having fits over the old bootstack booting the ROM. I also figure they wanted the root method from ioroot to try to close it as well. Talk amongst yourselves ?
I just can't buy that there was an accidental slip up by both companies. Seems they setup a situation and decompile everything the devs post.

Definitely a possible... Tho our devs have skills that border on the magical, and the power of collective knowledge is a wonderful thing haha.
But as far as VZW's predicament, I have no doubt that someone watches these forums, and curses over the extra dollars they'll have to spend on keeping their big red fingers locked tightly around our phones. As to whether it actually delays their official OTA, I'm sure they have deadlines to meet (esp. where the bloatware vendors are concerned), but it would be anyone's guess.
I'm just thrilled we have these leaks period. Even if the official OTA seals up security holes, this leak means a big boost to VS980 custom development!
The new KK leak seems odd, especially when some of its not even working correctly. I'm kinda stuck now. Device can get into Download mode but it just locks there.

You ever think maybe they release it so devices get bricked and they gotta pay for new ones?
Well, if we're tossing out ideas...what if it got leaked so vzw could track who has 4.4 installed? Then they can red flag the rooters.
Today, I called to get a replacement. Speaker stoped working... she asked me if it was the original one I bought. I said Ya, then asked if I traded it or rooted it. I was Like, root? Lol...anyways, something on her end was flagging the phone. Of course, at the time of calling my phone was 100% stock. But I DID have 4.4 installed..replacement is in its way but still..more complicated then I expected

I don't really believe it, but I've seen some say VZW knows what apps you've installed. I saw a user once say they told him exactly what root apps he currently had. If that's true, some root app you've installed at some point may have flagged it. Or she was a liar. Lol. To be honest...once it was confirmed that you could downgrade and keep Loki on the other variants, I'm surprised LG didn't pull the Sprint rollout.
When the KK kernel source was "accidentally" leaked early after the devs were having problems with trying to create a zip rom from the KK leak and needed that info, that's is when my eyebrows were raised....lol. I was like, that's too much of a coincident. Somebody" was reading and listening to our cries....lmao. Nevertheless, thank you to whoever it was.

Lol, well she was definitely not lying. I didn't want to pry to much on what the issue was. Playing ignorant is sometimes the best rout but my guess is the Mac ids or sns from the day I bought the phone to now changed. She just kept saying "something is preventing me from sending you a replacement, are you sure you didn't trade phones with a friend or something?"
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Serial number is hardware level. Not possible unless you actually were swapped. They don't check it until old one is sent back, which is why you are given a purchase clause on returns. I'll assume your account was a bit jacked up if she wasn't lying, otherwise, liar.
Maybe Verizon wanted to wait for the knock code update to release KK instead of releasing it and then putting out another update right away for knock code.

You said in the other thread that you wiped your Rom in recovery,not really conspiracy related just an accidental goof on your part.happens to the best of us.

I don't know if it was necessarily a leak; I pulled it off their servers and published the link here one xda like a week back. It took us a few days but @xdabbeb found a way to trick our devices into taking that OTA. One thing I find suspicious is that it hasn't been taken down yet, which means it *might* be our official, it just hasn't had the green light yet. Also, the kernel source is still alive (direct link download) it just has the link removed.
Agreed. At the very least I think it was intended to be the official release. Whether they're holding off on pushing it to everyone because of a last minute issue they found or internal delays is anyone's guess. I tend to believe it's the latter.

Liar? About what lol what is there to lie about. It was just an interesting conversation that kind of applied to this thread. And by the way, when I said serial number I was referring to the IMEI which, like the mac address is supposed to be unchangeable and yet there have been cases where they changed. But like I said, I don't know what the issue was. And obviously wasn't that big of a deal because my new phone is on its way

When I quit working for VZW a couple years ago, the systems we used listed all the software/update/PRL version info of the software you had installed on your phone. It seemed that a lot of that info was based on the updates your phone pulled from the servers, and I never saw anything that actually indicated root status. However, they are constantly updating their capabilities so I wouldn't put it past em. I am of the opinion that most manufacturers don't check all that closely for root, at least if the phone is on a stock rom. I have never actually heard or read online of a VZW customer whose phone got rejected purely because it was rooted.

I don't think it was rooting but maybe my update status. Example, my warranty date on the phone 2/4/2014. This is located in hardware information, hardware not software. I'll assume the warranty date is assigned the day you buy your phone. Now, it's changed. Point is, if that's changed what else could have changed

Ok, I got the Samsung Gear S2 watch which runs on 4g today thinking the Nexus 6 at least had HD Voice because the 5 did and you have to have it to connect to A&T's NumberSync or it wont work on 4g and its useless. Anyway, I got everything to work except I couldn't get it to connect to the NumberSync with the error "We are sorry. We cannot set up NumberSync because your device does not have HD Voice...." I called AT&T and they asked for my IMEI number and that will tell them and they said it must not have HD Voice. Is there some way I can get this enabled on this phone so I can use this?
Thanks!

and what does hd voice have to do with Volte??? Volte = voice over lte. without volte, lte is only a data line, with volte it is also a voice line.

if you make a call on lte, and you have voice, then its on.
Im not sure if the phone has it. I keep reading Verizon version does but AT&T dont at the time. Here is someting else. I thought she said my phone was coming up as something else but the IMEI number I gave her was correct or the same as I read off.
if you go to the main settings, more, cellular network, turn on enhanced 4G LTE mode.

Does your phone company support VoLTE on this phone specifically?
The various Android 8 roms should support it if it works on stock. But many telcos check the specific model of the phone, and only enables it on the models that they have approved.

I'm on a AT&T MVNO (Red Pocket Mobile) so I don't know. But if you're talking about the backbone (AT&T) I still don't know because I believe my N6 was purchased from Google. I'm pretty sure AT&T branded N6's are approved.
