I imported my HTC first from America and a major problem I found was that the WiFi didn't work. I was prepared to return my phone citing hardware problems but I waited and instead tried to find a solution by myself. I finally got it working.
This thread is for all others who have the same problem that I did.
Temporary Fix
1) unlock boot loader, root and do s-off
2) you must be running ruu 1.08.502.1
3) make your way to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766
There you can see many people have the similar problem.
Follow the instructions and install the app by the OP
(Make sure push the wifix app in the /system/app folder) verify the app is working properly by dialing the code given in the other thread. Open the wifix manager and set code to 'us'
4) if you read the thread you will see the app works for android 4.0 but most users having jellybean report it as not working
5) try the steps of post #250 (I used the AT&T code)
6) now whenever you restart make sure WiFi is switched OFF before reboot. When your phone boots up again make sure you're getting network signals, then open the market changer app and select AT&T. Then turn on the WiFi.
7) your Wi-Fi can see and connect to access points!

UPDATE 13/5/2014
WIFI NOW WORKS 100%
Ok with a lot of digging around I finally managed to fix my wifi. Sim inserted or not, wifi on/off at reboot or whatever, it doesn't matter because wifi always works. And no need for any annoying apps to run at boot!
For this method I had to endure a lot of headaches -_-
Had to search the whole internet, learn about adb commands, logcat, compiling .jar files etc
1) unlocked bootloader, rooted , s-off and running deodexed 1.08.502.4 . I did this on a clean install with no wifix/wifi codes/market unlocker
2)
First you have to learn how to compile and extract jar files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719
You just have to read "1. How to Decompile and Recompile *.jar file or classes.dex"
3) THIS STEP NO LONGER NEEDED *Removed*
4)
You need to read this too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628707
modify "framework2.jar" which is present in /system/framework
And after you have decompiled, open on your PC
classout/com/android/internal/telephony/MccTable.smali
recompile framework2.jar , put it back in androids /system/framework and set permissions to Rw-r-r
Now we have to modify another file
This time its the /system/framework/framework.jar
after decompiling open in PC : classout/com/android/net/wifi/WifiStateMachine.smali
and edit as per the second post in the link, recompile and paste it back into system/framework,set permissions to Rw-r-r
Note : its best to use adb commands to copy and paste the framework files from android to PC and vice versa
(namely adb pull and adb push)
then do some extra steps:
"Extra step 1
click on "/system/build.prop" and open in any text editor(on android);
seek line
ro.product.locale.region=GB
and change GB to US; confirm OK for save file.
mount /system R
Extra step 2
because of first boots, in Settings database is written our country code,
which should be US.
for this: install "Sqlite Editor" (android app), run, grant ROOT access. after program finds
& lists databases, look for & open "Settings Storage" > settings.db > global:
find "wifi_country_code", select it and press menu button > Edit Record;
change value to US and press "save" "
Reboot.
Congrats!! Wifi now works no matter what you do!
(as long as your wifi is on channels 1-11 , if youre on channel 12 or 13 then I think you need to change wifi country code to an european country instead of 'us')
Note: Be sure to thank the original authors in the threads i've linked.
As usual, do these steps at your own risk, I am not responsible for your bricked devices. Do report if it worked for you.
Also I know i've made quite a bit of mess. Do tell if you have any problems with the steps. I was thinking about posting my own framework.jar and framework2.jar but i'm not sure if they are safe to share or they contain private data. I'll need to confirm from someone.

Hey everyone, since yesterday I've been having some issues and I hope you can help me with it...
My Captivare wont let me send sms or calls, and on the screen says "mobile network not available"I was using the CM7 last build, so all I did was flash it again, hoping that would solve the problem, but that didn’t do anything, later I tried going back to Stock... so I used Odin to go back to 2.2, but now my phone says ” PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM#6” when it boots, and when I try to call someone says “data network not available”.
When I use the SIM in another phone works perfect, so the network is working.
What can I do to fix this ??
Sorry for my english
Sounds like your IMEI is incorrect. Some carriers outside the US do block the generic IMEI for Captivates. Try checking these posts and see if that helps you fix it. If not, Mobiletechvideos can rebuild your IMEI for a fee.

Huh? Can I get a translation? I'm guessing English isn't your first langauge and it is making it hard for me to understand the point you're trying to get across.
Where and from when did they started this for free? ??????
I don't think they do it for free. But I would love it if they did because I will be using their service sometime in the future.
Ridhi, I think the misunderstanding is that Red_81 said MobileTechVideos will do it for a fee, not that they would do it for free.
Reading and comprehension are two skills that are sadly lacking in the forums.

Apologies friends i think i need to get the eye test done.
Hi everyone again, after 3 days of struggle with my phone I've been able to fix it.
Red_81 thanks for you response the problem was the IMEI but none of the links you gave me works for me
After a lot of searching I found a guide that solves the problem of my phone these are the steps:
- Make sure you are on Froyo (whatever ROM, it worked for me on the stock UCJI6 )
- You need to be Root and have Busybox installed
- Now download the version of Galaxy_S Unlock that is at the end of this post into your phone
- Go to your download folder and click to unzip, then launch the .apk file
- If Android doesn't let you install go to Settings > Applications > tick Unknown sources and try again
0. Go to the tab > Signal fix problem
1. Save efs folder
2. Delete nv_data.bin files + reboot
3. Restore data + reboot
4. Create bak files
- Last step that is "restore efs folder" is only there for if the fix didn't work. It's very clear in the app.
That's it !
Now my phone is fully functional thank to this guide and Thanks all who tried to help me.

Did you get the original IMEI back for your phone or do you have the test one that starts with 0049?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It's the test one but works fine.
Do you know wich may be the consecuences if I keep this IMEI ?
There shouldn'tbe any issues with that one staying on your phone. Some other carriers block this IMEI but none of the American carriers seem to.

Hope it works for you too
I was searching for a way to debrand my AT&T Samsung Focus S to receive the latest update and was at first surprised to find out that none of the registry editors work and secondly, that I could not find a simple way how to unbrand it.
So here is a simple way for anybody who was looking for the same thing.
Please note that this will unlock and debrand your phone (and I’ve also thrown in the 3G toggle tweak) but after you update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune, you will no longer be able to use the ProvXML method of deploying registry settings (that we are using here).
All credit goes to Deathbyvegemite who told me what to do and Jaxbot and his WindowBreak Project which helped me figure out how to do it. This is really just a simple modification of his work, so I have to thank him and all the other people that have worked on this.
Okay, so to do this, please follow these steps:
1) Open your mobile browser and go to: http://www.kremese.sk/debrand_focus_s.zip
2) The file will be opened. Follow the instructions and tap on “debrandfocuss.xml”
3) Press Start
4) Navigate to Phone
5) Dial ##634#
6) Type *#9908#
7) Select DebrandFocusS
8) Press Save and Reboot
After that, connect to Zune and you will receive the 8107 update.
Thanks for the hack! I'm completing the Zune update to 8107 now, it should be complete in another minute or so.
I have some wifi issues with the Focus S -- as well as several other people I know and I'm hoping that even though this update does not say it fixes the wifi connection issue, I'm crossing my fingers that it does.
Thank you again, I always love having the latest OS version installed.
-John

Well, it's been a couple hours since I completed the upgrade to 8107 and I just had the phone reboot during a phone call.
Thanks for the update, but I'll go back to my backup and wait patiently for the official update. Not that this one isn't official, but there maybe special tweaks that need to be done for the Focus S/i937 or AT&T.
-John
To be honest, I don't think it's related to the update, but I can of course understand that you want to be safe.

Do you have an unlocked device? If you have a registry editor you can check under this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
The string value should be "000-88". If it still says "ATT-US" then please try again and follow the instructions precisely.
Yes, unlocked. Do you know of a registry editor that works on Focus S?

There are a couple that work, but currently only in read-only mode.
This one is the most user friendly I think:
EDIT: Argh, can't post outside links. Please google "Registry Editor for Windows Phone 7 Beta Testing".
Got the registry editor working. It still says ATT. I've gone through the process 5 times now. Each time it tells me "debrandfocussProvisioning succeeded" but after the reboot it's back to ATT-US.
but does this just give the OS update? Does this also give you the firmware update?
is the focus s out there for anyone else but ATT?
Not sure about the firmware update, but my firmware version after the update is: 2103.11.10.1.

100% Work For Gsm Unlock Stock 4.4.2 ( Permanent )
Step 1 - Unlockbootloader-custom recovery-root-s.off
- Unlock bootloader from htc dev
- donwload and Install Custom Recovery TWRP link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698400
- download and install SuperSu from TWRP link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698400
- S-Off Using firewater and follow Instructions (normal, rooted device method) link http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/ or Using Sunshine (25$)
Step 2 -
Download HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk and put in internal storage phone
Download and install root explorer
Download and install htc one sim unlockhelper from playstore
Step 3 -
Open root explorer and hit button Mount r/w for permission read.write
Backup original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk and HTCOMADM_SPCS.odex by changing the file name ( anything that is easy to remember ) From /system/app directory
After rename the original file, copy modded file HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk to /system/app directory and make sure you have set the permission rw-r-r and reboot device
Step 4 - Begin Sim Unlock
Open htc one sim unlock helper on your phone, it will say htc one device check fail. now click the 3 menu dot and click on "Display SIM Unlock Log" It might ask you for Permissions. Make sure to Grant them. After that it will say "SIM Unlock Log". There shouldn't be anything there. Now hit the back button and now it should say Device Verified, Root Available etc.
Next hit "start" button. If everything goes well, within seconds you should be in the OMADM Test Client Menu and Scroll all the way down to the end and tap the selection SIMLOCK. The phone will freeze a couple of seconds and then return to normal. Once done and normal, tap the back button and the SIM Unlock Helper should show SIM Unlock Results. If it says Successful, hit back button then show Device Verified, Root Available etc menu again. Then reboot the phone manually from power button
Step 5 -
Once Rebooted, Insert your SIM Card of your GSM Carrier and go to your Settings> Mobile Data> Network Mode. Once you tap that, Tap GSM/UTMS Only. If successful your phone will switch from Sprint to the GSM carrier. All there is next is to setup your APN settings to be able to receive the carriers data services.
Step 6 -
delete the modded file HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk
And rename the original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk and HTCOMADM_SPCS.odex to original state which we renamed in previous steps to avoid vdm client stopped error
Step 7 - optional
Changing signal logo to H or 3G icon
open root explorer then open in text editor file default.xml from /system/customize/ACC
Scroll all the way down find this line <item type="integer" name="sku_id">10</item>
Change the number to 42 and save
reboot

HTC ONE M8 Sprint Unlock - NEED HELP
Hello guys
I just bought a US Sprint Version M8 and It is driving me Crazy.
I still am not able to unlock it. HELP HELP
My device is htvdev boot loader unlocked.
S-off
Rooted as well
I first tried the Universal sim unlock method via http://www.sieempi.eu where you flash in the config.dat file via simlock option, everything failed except it said successfully applied imei code.
I popped in a foreign gsm sim card, still it was locked. Nothing happened
I than proceeded with the SuperCid 11111111 trick, I was able to change the code successfully.
But when I tried in ma foreign sim card. Nothing worked.
After doing the above two steps I than tried the HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk mod trick on my currently installed stock rom.
I renamed the original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk and HTCOMADM_SPCS.odex to something else
And pasted modified HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk and changed permission to rw-r-r.
I ran sim unlocker helper program, granted it SU rights reached the page with the start button but when I press the start button no pop up window appears. Nothing happens at all.
I than decided to flash my Stock Rom to BSC_Stock_Rooted_M8_RLS_21 Rom
I tried the same trick and switched the original HTCOMADM_SPCS.apk with the modified file.
I open sim unlocker helper, grand su access and it takes me to start button but when I press start nothing happens still.
Now with the new Rom when I pop in the sim card I get Invalid Card. Please contact customer care.
Note: I also changed the network to gsm only directly via the menu and also by using the #*#*4636*#*# code
Attached is a screen shot :
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?
i still cant get the menu after pressing the start button...
do i must be in an ODEX rom?? Sprnt HTC One

Great. I might need a couple of files from your phone, since you have received the official unlock straight from Sprint. I am also hoping your phone was first activated on Sprint as well.
To extract those files, you will need to be S-Off and rooted on a Sense ROM. Let me know if you can provide those files, as they are needed to enable roaming and Wi-Fi Tethering options on a non-activated Sprint M8 when using on GSM abroad.
Your help will be really appreciated.

Everythin mentioned in the guide here.
However 1 change : I changed CID to super CID.
Remember in step 3 after renaming the files, do reboot of your phone, and then run the app.
1st time I forgot and it didn't work. Second time I redid step 3, rebooted and went on to step 4 and 5

If you're running an odex rom you may also have to wipe dalvik after renaming the files.

Ok, so i think i figured it out how to get the start menu to pop up for those who cant achieve it:
If you already followed the OP but didnt reboot the first time and so, didnt get the pop up menu, even if you delete the modified .apk and reinstalled it and then reboot the phone and open the HTC unlocker app, if you y dont get the Pop up menu, What you have to do is:
1.- open root Explorer and delete HTC unlocker folder
2.- go to setting/apps/delete data from the HTC unlocker app
3.- follow the OP instructions and DONT FORGET TO SET ROOT PERMISSIONS AND REBOOT
Hope this help to those who cant get the pop up menu in the Sprint HTC one m8

cant rename files
Hi all
I can't rename the files on the root.
Do I need to flash a custom rom or it can be done on the sprint rom?
Please help cause I'm trying for two days to sim unlock my new sprint HTC M8
Thanks
Hello All,
I have Gt-N7000 note mobile. I am running JB germany official rom. Suddenly my phone has restore it default imei "0049999010640000" so i can register on any network. Also, the power button problem appeared to me. When i press it for a long press the menu of restart does not pop up instead the phone just power off and if i pressed for a short one, the phone will just turn off the screen so if press it again or the home button, the phone would just open and bypass the lock screen.
Thanks for ur help guys

Try to explain this again.
Can you register on a network?
Or can't?
This IMEI is not a "restored" one. You simply lost your original one. If you did not make and do not have a backup of your /efs then it's lost.
So: was your device rooted? What did you do before "suddenly"?
i really mean suddenly. The phone was OK then it lost its imei. I can not register to my network anymore. the mobile internet is working fine but i can not make any voice calls. The phone was not rooted then but i root it now.
For the EFS folder, i do not have a backup

Workaround 1: disable SIM pin number. After that the network should work
Workaround 2: use an older version of android.policy.jar (from an unofficial developer release from Samsung). In this versions the check for a corrct IMEI seems to be disabled.
I have this problem myself and was lucky to get an upgrade with the so called developer imei. Since then I use the android.policy.jar from this upgrade.
But please try W1 first. If you'll get the network then it is solvable with W2.
If W1 doesn't work then even W2 will fail.

Of course you should try it.
First root your device. Go to Philz kernel thread and download the kernel for your JB version (XXLT4?).
Tomorrow I will connect to my PC in Germany and download the old version from there (right now I'm in Thailand).
Will attach it here.
With a rooted device and a file explorer with root options you can copy it to your device.

Great..thanks alot.
And for the power problems? do u have any opinion?
sorry but it worked on an operator and did not on another. i could not register on my main network using the W1 solution.

Yes, same reason. When I use the other jar this problem disappears too.
I just copied the file from my N7000 and attached it here.
Copy it to /system/framework. Change permissions to rw-r-r.
For this you need a rooted device and something like Total Commander with /system mounted as writeable. And before you do this make a backup of you android.policy.jar.
If you do not understand these things right now: start searching and reading here about root explorer, mounting /system, permissions. There are enough examples and descriptions.
But first: root
Hi Guys. First off I'm posting this for information in hopes to help anyone else having this problem. I'll go over the problem I was having. What caused the problem for me and the steps I took to resolve it.
Problem:
A Handsfree activation bootloop. More specifically, no matter which rom, RUU, OTA, recovery or firmware I flashed, my phone would go threw a HFA and PRL update, say that it was successful and reboot on it's own and start the process over again. If at some point by chance I could catch it and disable the vDM.apk would be the only way I could stop it and boot normally. I tried resetting my profile, factory resets, Sprint support (which was completely useless) and everything else mentioned above. I even threw the kitchen sink in for good measure. lol. I was able to make phone calls, receive text and mms. I even had LTE and 3G service. But my wifi calling and sprint zone didn't work. So I knew something wasn't activating properly.
Cause:
Well for me it started when I accidentally flashed a M7 rom. Yeah don't laugh, it happens. Anyway, in recovery it said it failed but not before it formatted "/dev/block/mmcblk0p37" which is the system partition on the M7. But on the M8, it's the /carrier partition. So it erased all my info and filled it with a bunch of s**t. To the point that the partition was full and activation couldn't write to it. It also injected a bunch of s**t in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p39" which is the /devlog partition on the M8. So just a big mess. This is just how I got to this point. I'm not saying this your cause but the fix might help you.
Fix:
1 Get your self to a point that you are booted up to a rom. If you can't, try flashing an international rom made for sprint like "insert coin" for example. Those don't HFA bootloop from my experience.
2 Download MSL reader from the market. And get your MSL you'll need it later.
3 With a good root explorer, go to /carrier folder, do a backup of it (just in case) open the folder and delete everything in the folder.
4 Go to /devlog folder, open it and delete everything in there. (You don't need this stuff, it will rewrite itself).
5 Download the zip at the bottom of the post, extract it and copy the contents to your /carrier folder. Don't worry about the /devlog folder. leave it empty.
6 Now your going to flash a RUU. Download the one you want. I used https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604379 (Don't worry it won't get you S-on or lock your bootloader). It will probably do a HFA again and it should fail. If not, try disabling it. Because we need to get to the dialer.
7 In your dial pad enter ##786# and go to edit mode. Enter your MSL if it asks you. Go to the menu button at the upper right and hit reset. Go threw the promps, the phone should reboot and restore. Let it boot up. It will go threw HFA again. But now you'll notice it activated properly. At this point your all done. Flash a custom recovery again. Profit.
Special Thanks to @Captain_Throwback You rock.
Let me know if this helps. Please post any questions and I'll try guiding you threw.
Dude iv been having some serious issues with data. I'm going to try this and see what happens thanks.

What ROM?
If it is stock based you can try this, either go through TWRP and select file manager or do this in the zip before flashing.
Go to system/app/HtcOMADM_SPCS and rename the apk by adding .bak after .apk.
After the phone boots and you pass setup you can always rename the file by removing the .bak
You might get better results by posting this question in that ROM thread, or make a thread in the Q&A and put the ROM name in the title of the thread.
