Not yet, only unlocked bootloader

Thanks guys. Might be a deal breaker for me...

Why would it be a deal breaker? Having S-On only means that you have to flash the boot.img manually which takes approx 5 seconds to do. You can still root and flash custom roms etc...

I guess some people just don't like the super hard work of doing things manually. /sarcasm

Well, I had a One X for a while and flashing the boot everytime a new rom version was released or changing roms got a bit annoying after a while. I also like being able to flash a rom without being connecting to a PC to fastboot.

Yeah "a bit annoying", that's as far as it goes. As for being a deal breaker, I don't think so.

Some roms don't require you to flash the boot.img manually, such as ARHD

Wasn't there an app that would allow you to flash the boot.img from the phone itself? I think I remember seeing it mentioned on the AT&T HOX boards, but I never used it.

They should stickie the soff issue so users don't need to ask.
Big letters soff not yet
Nothing against the op. Just saying for info purposes

Respect his opinion, you have your own view on it and obviously he has another
S-ON and locked bootloader is also what kept me away from this phone, starting on Samsung now and just going to port sense over.

This device can flash boot.img's, kernels, whatever from recovery. Unlike the one x with it's tegra processor. s-off doesn't really give you any benefits EXCEPT being able to downgrade firmware if you choose to do so.

^^ If you're htcdev unlocked how can you flash baseband, newer hboot version etc.?

Since this is Qualcom, will the ATT Qualcom One X S-off method be a possibility? Certainly glad its not a tegra..

So would this be the same version of dev phone HTC is taking pre-orders for? I didnt know it was s-off. I may cancel my att pre-order if so.

You've used it? If so that's a very relieving change... coming from a HOX. I'd live with it anyway, but flashing kernels in recovery will save alot of headaches

No sorry. I haven't used it yet, few more weeks to wait for mine. But, with a Qualcomm processor you can flash kernels from recovery just fine. Look at ROMs like renovate for example, everything is from recovery now. I just don't see s off being a have to have thing like it was a couple years back with devices like the dhd. Tho s off could be useful to downgrade software ( flash an old ruu) or to change the unlocked flag back to locked for warranty purposes. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a s off one ** fingers crossed**

Anybody who wants to flash custom kernels, should know the basic workings of ADB and fastboot. Some devs modify the ramdisk with their kernel, which can cause issues, if you decide to then flash another dev's kernel. A simple fastboot flash boot boot.img, will restore the stock ramdisk and save you a lot of grief.

try the restore to stock for canadian users in my signature. Post back if any issues. Are you planning to return for warranty or just to get signal
Things dont happen on their own. So either you did something or the phone is toast.

Well yeah just to get signal back. After I installed viper rom is when i started to get this probelm. Ive had the viper rom for awhile and if my phone died or i had to restart it would loose signal so basically i would have to restart the phone again to get it back but now for like the past 5 days it seems to have lost it for good

lol well a little to late now i didecided to go back to stock and i was following this one video on youtube how to do it so the phone says it is relocked now but when i went to flash the ruu it kept on saying signature fail. and all i can do now is boot the phone into the bootloader. Any suggestions in how i could fix this??

You dug a deeper hole for yourself. Nice.
Well now you need to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, and adb push or adb sideload a rom to get booting.
YouTube is good for videos only.

at OP, please disregard 99MB """RUU"""" (not sure how many quotes i can put)
go with @SaHiLzZ

What are you talking about? The first post ask for an RUU. If it's not what's wanted then so be it. But when did compiling a kernel ever occur in this equation? Do you know how to use HTC dev to find ruu's? It's all in the same spot. Been that way since the website opened. If an ruu exist it will appear in all after search is done.
If a full one isn't there then it isn't there. But it's a good spot to look.

No its NOT a good place to find RUUs, and should not be the first place to look.
OP, best to look at WRITTEN guides (couple linked in my Sig) to get your phone booting.

No warranty?
If not.. output of fastboot getvar all ?
Also.. was this phone modified?
Lastly.. if this happened only after you dropped it, hardware problem!

It sounds like you damaged the sim tray/socket so that the sim card can't make good contact with the phone. It should be fixable, though I don't know what it would cost.

you don't see IMEI, etc, in Settings -> About?
but doing a "fastboot getvar all" shows your baseband?
if yes, then you need to run an ruu, if they still don't come back after full ruu, then I would say it's a hardware problem
Good Luck

I've only seen two versions of this (but unlike you, they had no apparent reason why it happened):
1- full ruu, and it fixed the missing IMEI IMSI baseband etc -> good
2- even with full ruu, nada, still missing -> hardware problem, off to repair
don't know if fixing the sim tray will work.
sorry

Well thank you for helping me , one thing i need to know , do the RUU need to be the same os version as the phone os ex: 1.26.502.12 RUU and the phone is 4.11.409.1

if you're S-Off, then any ruu should be OK (use one for the same MID as your phone, don't bother changing MID), and CID won't matter once you set it to SuperCID or CID(s) that matches the ruu
hopefully, (once flashed successfully, and updated/downgraded everything) it will also reinitialize some of the corrupted partitions.

Ohh ok , can you give me a link for original RUU

Need some help regarding RUU and OTA update

Okay so been some time since I've been on here and since I have got a oneplus one and I am selling my M7.
I was rooted and running tickdroid 8.0 I think it was, 4.2.2 as I didn't feel the hassle to update it etc.
Now I managed to get back to stock by flashing the stock RUU and my software currently stands at 4.1.2
I searched for an update but it says it's up to date? The phone has stock recovery etc I just want to update it to the latest firmware before I sell it. So any help to get it up to kitkat would be appreciated
Bootloader is relocked
Software 4.1.2

No unfortunately not. Setting 100% Stock is not so simple. The firmware to match the rom is on hboot 1.57. You need to lock the bootloader on hboot 1.44 and go back to s-on before you update to hboot 1.55, after you lock the bootloader you'll have no way to install the Rom.
You can use my reset zip method though. I don't have the time to knock up a guide for you right now because I'm in work. If you can wait I can get it up for you later on this evening. Or just go and read the nkk71 nandroid guide. It's a liitle more involved than the reset zip method but does the same job :good:

you might want to check the MD5 value of your nanadroid backup zip file. Use WinMD5 program (google it)
The MD5 should be ea7969028463b7c14317cc6ea312e76e, if not then its a bad download.

Hey @alray, Tonight I was gonna farm the OTA for the firmware you need in the other thread. I was planning a full wipe for ARHD 84 anyway. But I see @nkk71 is already sorting it. I did find a link for the .9 but it was dead
I don't know if it makes any difference but I did learn that the .8 is for Unbranded Vodaphone and the .9 is for Branded Vodaphone.

Went to the Verizon store to get my droid unlocked only to have the tech people there input different codes that did not work and the security feature unexplained. I went to try the sim and within a few tries it was locked.
Tech support has given me the sim network code that goes with the phone now that it is subsidy locked.

you mean unlocked?
I have looked at the steps on Sd Shadow's site about flashing and rooting the phone and have gone so far as to download and install the motorola drivers (signed by microsoft?). The device now shows in device manager as an ADA interface.
I have tried flashing with rsd lite, only to hear several sounds as if the device is reconnecting and see flash failure at 6/18 partition.
Am I using an incomplete .Xml?
The Fast boot version is 0A.53 and the xml downloaded from http...........://......................motofirmware.center/files/ was
VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.xml.zip

That should be fine, did you verify md5 checksum?
Haven't seen anyone trying to unblock for use with Pure Talkusa. I don't know if it makes any difference what third-party carrier i decide to go with.

The carrier must use bands that are compatible with the Droid 3
see TECHNOLOGY section http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-DROID-3_id5305
and see if bands match the carrier you want to use.
I have used three different cords for the flashing, one of them does not "wiggle" in the ports like the others, but it is an older cord.
I am using Windows 7

Which RSD Lite version?

The phone had become locked by the time I knew what to ask for.
Codes match. I am using Rsd lite v.6.1.5. I remember seeing somewhere that it will work with that carrier. I can't post pictures, but Rsd shows "N/A" for all the device properties, though in the bottom box under model it shows "fastboot CDMA_solana s"
Could this be a driver's issue. Too many extra non Motorola drivers? I installed the remaining network adaptor and modem drivers.

That should be correct. You only need to use RSD Lite, if you have a custom rom installed, or the phone will not boot correctly.
If stock rom is work goodm you can skip to next step
Root

I have rooted. Verizon is not giving out any pin numbers that will work. Is there a software work around for this Sim Network Unlock Pin? There is no contract for the droid 3. I picked it up on Amazon. I can still access the menus.

Stock rooted should be fine
some Droid 3s just do not accept the unlock code
there is a limited number of times unlock code can be tried
what is current system version?

ovelayer’s .906 1_click sbf .exe

no I would not
i may have misunderstood,
you have tried unlock codes?
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

if you are seeing "The phone is subsidy locked. Please contact...",
an incorrect code was entered too many times, and the phone has locked you out.
even if to get the enter code screen again, and have the correct unlock code, I don't think it will work.

Because of the way the phone was locked, every droid 3 has 3 or more possible unlock codes, only one of them will actually work.
there is no point entering the same code more than twice.

You need root, verify root access, with a root checker
you need a file manager with root options

Is the sim network unlock pin necessary for verifying root access?
Verizon did give me an 8 digit pin. As of now I do not have root access with the droid 3.

No, but if you want to edit build.prop, you need root access

Just rooted it with the 1 click root by http.......//www.psouza4.com/droid3/unbrick.htm
Unless that isnt a real root process.
I am thinking that it is likely that once it is subsidy locked no other codes will work.
