Hello,
My internet doesn't work. I already checked the APN-settings, resetted them and made them completely new. The WLAN is working perfect.
I checked that the data connection is used at the preferences. But I still get:
at HTTP Client-Test: "Fail: IOException"
GPRS-Service is not connected
"state: dcactivatingState is connecting to..."
But no changes...
Phone: HTC Wildfire/Buzz
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1
Radio: 3.35.20.10
I'm not sure what to do now. Should I poste you some more information?
Regards, Florian

Oh, sorry. Just want to say Thank you. Maybe other People can use this thread later.
I had the 3.35.20.10-Radio. Then I installed the older version 3.35.19.25 and it worked.
Thanks Ankurcul.
Hi
Hope someone can help!
I got my brother in law htc wildfire.
And got a code to open it up to any network.
We got the code from an internet site called GSMliberty, the code has worked to a degree.
It receives calls and can make them, the time is right, and the internet works over wi-fi of course.
But it will not connect to the internet on its own ie 3g.
The phone was locked to 3 and I have tried 2 different sim cards in, orange and t-mobile, both have unlimited data plans.
I have changed the apn setting to match each network/carrier and all I get is connection failed.
I have called and emailed the code people who say it is down to the data set up.
I have been in touch with t-mobile his the network/carrier he wants and they have talked us through it, as have htc help centre but to no avail.
However if we put a 3 sim back in, it connects to the internet, swap it back and change the internet setting to the network required and won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas or help?
It has not been rooted or messed with, just the unlock code.
Kindest regards
Shaun
I would suggest that you root it and S-off it. You will void your warranty is SOFTWARE level, so if any problem occur in the future you could just roll back everything. Anything you'll need can be found here
Hi what do you mean by. S- off after I root?
Sent from my GT-I9100P using XDA
First root the phone and if the problem remains then s-off. EVERYTHING is in the link that I gave you above. Almost all questions are answered there, and if any remains we will be glad to help. But is is VERY IMPORTANT TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THE GUIDE THAT YOU WILL FOLLOW TELLS!
Thank you for your reply, but going to leave it. Tried to root it via superone click, but could'nt do it.
And not sure where to get kernal to do via odin.
When I have tried to get them for galaxy s2, seem to struggle to download them, hence using superone click.
Although I'm not thick, reading what people say on here is difficult to understand.
But again thank for your help.
Kind regards.

I once tried to sell a phone locked on 3 network to a shop but the Guy in the shop told me he wouldn't buy it as he has trouble unlocking 3 phones, something about the 3 software they use doesn't like being unlocked and used on a different network, I didn't really look into it as I already had a new phone and just gave it to a mate.
I think what the poster above may be hinting at is debranding the phone, i.e getting rid of any 3 branded software and flashing a generic ruu which should theoretically work on any network as long as the sim is recognized.
We have plenty of guides here if you want pointing in the right direction. Odin will only work for Samsung phones I believe and I'm not too sure superone click works on a wildfire either.

S-off is disabling the secuflag which HTC used to lock the bootloader, disabling it allows you to write to the system while the phone is on or flash a new radio, basically unlocking the phone completely.
If you take a read of "the complete wildfire guide" by 3xeno the first 2 posts contain just about everything you would need to know if you want to root and s-off the phone, Im not 100% sure you need to though as I think you can use an ruu (in post number 2) which will basically restore your phone to a stock rom without any branding. Its just a case of plugging the phone into the computer and running the ruu follow the instructions and when the phone reboots it should have been restored to factory and had the radio, bootloader restored too ruling out any problems with them if it still doesn't work after.
Sorry I can't post a link to the index as the app keeps crashing on my phone when I try.
Edit: silly me its the link posted before, trust me everything you'll need is in those first 2 posts, if an ruu doesn't do the job post here again and we'll hopefully get you rooted and on a different rom.
Hi have managed to root, but now I have internet access hut when I try connect to the android market it disconnects again.
Tried to do the s-off but was getting lost at what to do with htc supertool v3.
It is rooted but loosing signal on market access, it says conbection fail.
Untick the internet connection and retick and it starts again to surf.
Any ideas, market works on wifi!

How did you root?
Are you on a stock rom or a custom one like Cm7?
Did you install clockworkmod recovery?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
all stock rom, rooted with unrevoked
Ok then,the quickest way I think would be to try a custom rom to fix your problem, first go to recovery, turn off and press volume down and power together to get to hboot then select recovery.
Once its loaded first backup your current rom, while its backing up download a rom Cm7 I recommend, it should have all the apns setup already, look in the development section for the download or on the cyanogenmod website, you want stable 7.2 rc1. After the backups done, go to mounts & storage and mount USB to transfer the Cm7.2 zip. Then go to advanced and select reboot recovery.
Once loaded again you need to wipe the device completely, so choose wipe cache, wipe data and from advanced menu wipe dalvik cache, now choose to install from zip and navigate to where the Cm7 zip is on your SD card and let it install then reboot. It should take around 5-10 minutes to reboot as its rebuilding the software on the phone during the first boot.
If the market isn't installed you need to download Google apps for gingerbread and then flash that zip in recovery. No need to wipe anything for that, after the reboot you'll be prompted to sign into a Google account, everything should hopefully work then.

ps do you accept donations as I feel you deserve a beer!
I think the option you need is under nandroid.
I believe that's because you're on the old clockwork v2.xxx we're mostly on 5.0.2.0+ now. Its called a nandroid backup so I'm guessing choose nandroid and it should ask you to backup, restore or advanced restore. You want to backup.
Nah I don't accept donations everything I do is out of the kindness of my heart.

I rooted my wife dinc but she didn't like it so I went ahead and put her stock rom back on. She is receiving the Nov. Update regularly and wants it but doesn't want to wipe the phone. My question is..of I turn s back on will it allow the update ? If not... is there a way to unroot without wiping? Please...I need the nagging to stop lol . Thanks for the help.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
...
If you search the threads in here you'll see one way to stop the nagging is to modify a system file (changing some text). But you'll have to use root explorer to make the modification because it has to be done with root access. I've done it and it works... I just don't remember where the file is at off the top of my head.
Go here. Read all the instructions and warnings.
I updated two DINCs yesterday. They were rooted, s-off, stock Froyo.
I followed the instructions (imagine that!), applied the Nov OTA update, re-rooted, and re-installed SU.
Nothing was wiped from the phone. Probably because it is an update. A patch. Not a new version of the OS.
Same as Ed. Just finished today cause i was getting annoyed with the update asking to install all the time. There is no wipe as it is a simple update.
Ok so if I follow those directions it will unroot the phone?

Hmmm... My post says to read the instructions which includes re-rooting the phone. The instructions also mention the step to take to re-root. the phone.
If the instructions tell you how to re-root, then, yes, the logical conclusion is that your phone will get un-rooted by the update.
But if you actually follow the instructions, that one simple step will re-root your phone.

adb is needed only if you have removed the "crapware", because you need to re-install it before running the update.
I FOLLOWED the instructions. Updated and re-rooted two stock Froyo, rooted phones. And did not use adb. I don't have it installed either.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Steps 10 a c and I I'm not too sure what that means ed . Can u clarify a bit
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Step 10 is a list of things you see/do as the OTA update runs.
a. through f. lists things that you see on the screen. Just sit and watch...
g. tells you to wait 30 seconds. So you wait 30 seconds.
It then tells you to unlock the screen. So you unlock the screen.
It then tells you to skip the keyboard tutorial. So you tap the "SKIP" button.
h. tells you what you will see next
i. you only need to do if you run WiFi and it doesn't connect. That is, if you normally have WiFi running and it fails to connect at this point, turn it off then turn it on. It should then connect. I don't run WiFi on my phone. I mean, what's the point in that?
j. tells you how you can check in Settings to see that the update has run.
If you would have read Step 11 yesterday afternoon, you would not have had to ask if this process unroots the phone.
Please. Relax. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Then, if you want to apply the update, follow the instructions.
I've read it, just some other questiond. Will it push the stock recovery back on ? Will it allow other updates in the future by doing so? And all my wifes set ups , sync and other stuff she did to personalize will not be wiped by doing so, correct ? (Just clarifying so I can do this with confidence for her)

Because usually with the keyboard tutoriAL comes wiping of the system. That's y I ask one more time

We lost no data. I did not lose any messages or email. All my settings were retained. Did not have to restore any apps or anything.
That being said, I do not know what all you have set up on your wife's phone so I cannot, from this great a distance tell you that EVERYTHING will be left intact.
Your best bet would be to take backups before proceding with any updates. Just makes plain sense.

Steps 13 through 15 put the ClockworkMod recovery back on the phone.
With the non-standard recovery there, future updates will be blocked as well.
Look, at this point, I would highly recommend some reading into just what rooting is, what it does, its implications, the effects of s-on/s-off (and why you would want it one way or the other) before you procede any further.
As I stated earlier, the instructions are for a DINC that is rooted, s-off, running stock Froyo. And they guide you through applying the update, re-rooting, and re-installing SU.
I am beginning to think that this is not what you are looking to do.
She just has colors for handcent re syncing Facebook. I just don't need to hear it from her cuz when I rooted it for her she didn't like the fact that she had to re do all that . I know what rooting and all that is. Just in rooting I don't want her to have to redo the syncing for Facebook and reset the colors for handcent . Thanks for the help though

You don't really need s-on for anything. Unless you want to remove all traces of being rooted.
For that, I would suggest you look through the threads here that deal with rooting and s-on/s-off.
Hi, I sold my EVO on eBay and I need a way to return it to stock software. Thank you!
Download and flash the ODEXED version of the stock rom from here. Remember to do a full wipe/Factory reset prior to flashing. NOTE: The EVO will still be rooted.

Sure you can, but why? You are selling it, right? It will still work normally and if the buyer is into rooting, he or she will be grateful and if the person is not into rooting, the device will automatically be unrooted when he or she accepts an OTA update from Sprint.
UPDATE: follow the steps here to unroot.
In the meantime, I don't want a problem with an inaccurate item description, as they make take it into Sprint for something.
I understand and updated my previous post to include a link to help you unroot.
Thank you 10char
You're very welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day...
How do I eliminate or decrease the possibility that it can't be rooted after O di this?
I'm not sure I follow you. I mean there is nothing you can do to prevent the buyer from rooting if he or she wants to do so.
posting & replying via the XDA Premium app.
Ok please help let me know what you guys think...
In theory could this same thing work given the following situation. My phone is rooted but the power button recently shorted and stopped working. Sprint didnt flag my phone as rooted but said get it back to stock and we will exhange it. Do you think it could work if I flash the odex using Rom MANAGER which ive never used to flash but im useless flashing through recovery with no "power button" to use as enter. Once I flash the rom using rom manager it will be back on sense from there can I then unroot without using the power button though bootloader or even HTC Sync because at that point I think HTC sync will recognize it? I hope all that makes sense im just trying to get my phone replaced. :/ Thanks!
**UPDATE** Scratch that Rom Manager took me to clockwork

If you have a card reader you can flash a ruu through the bootloader also why would you want to unroot completely? Based on your info you wouldn't be able to root if you unrooted because Unrevoked requires usb connectivity

with rom manager touch? well really i'd like to have it to default stock so that I can sell it without all of my info on the phone, i.e. telephone number, voicemail etc. I figured that returning to stock would achieve that. it isnt currently activated but my voicemail number shows up.

You can definitely just unroot it and leave it S-OFF by doing what evo4gnoob said. Copy a stock ROM PC36IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard using a card reader connected to your PC (If you go to the 1st link under "My Links" in my signature, there are 3 you can use at the bottom of that post) and rename the file to just "PC36IMG.zip". Put the card back into your device, and boot into Bootloader mode (hold volume down while pressing the Power button), and it should read the stock ROM. Then choose to install the update, and the device will be fully reset and back to stock.
By the way - unless you cancel your service first, the device will still be linked to your account. If you want to get rid of that information, you'll have to do a full data reset using an EPST code. There should be a thread around here somewhere that will give you the proper code (you'll need your MSL code).
ok Ive done exactly as you guys stated getting back to stock and unrooting.. was able to reroot using unrevoked3 so im good to go! thanks guys!!
as far as the msl, i dont know that and will just have to sell as is because my phone info is obviously still there. but thanks again for the fast responses and insight

MSL Reader from the Market will tell you what it is, but you need root to use it, so you'll have to flash Superuser, if you really want to get rid of your phone info (which is probably a good idea).

First part of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21891574&postcount=9
But if you let the phone reboot and re-activate, it'll just link back to your number, so if you don't want it to do that, you'll have to turn it off and cancel the service to it.
thanks again!
Hi folks. First post here and a bit of a weird one, I’m hoping some of you with more experience in rooting etc can point me in the right direction. I’ve got a GSM Galaxy Nexus which I previously rooted to get updates as I was stuck with some horrible build that had to go through Samsung and my carrier to update.
Now my USB port is faulty and I want to get it serviced under warranty but I don’t want them blaming the root access and trying to squirm out of it. I’m actually running a stock ROM of ICS so I don't need to change that - but I still have CWM installed along with its custom recovery mode(?), Superuser and the bootloader is unlocked.
Can anybody give me some suggestions on how I could undo this, preferably limiting my use of USB or eschewing it all together? It’s so unstable I’m really afraid of bricking the device. I want to just make it look as stock as possible so things go smoothly with the service or replacement.
I found suggestions in some threads for using 'Mobile ODIN'. Can anyone tell me if this would help? Thanks!
I've read on here multiple times that they will repair it even if rooted...maybe someone can confirm.
I think there is a apps on the market called adb wireless... May be it can help you!

Fantastic! Thanks to those above too. I'll check out part 3 of your guide as mentioned since it's in your sig. :good:
ok let me just preface this by saying that i am a complete moron and didn't make a nandroid back up. i am new to this stuf obviously and didnt research enough before i dove in.
also this is referring to the htc on v cdma on virgin mobile.
so i was able to successfully unlock and root the phone. bootloader says unlocked and root checker from the market said i had full root access.
i installed the team win recovery on the phone. the first rom i flashed was the cdma pacman rom from here. i did a full wipe and flashed the rom, and then flashed the kernel from said rom via fastboot on my pc. upon firing it up, it boots and gets through the boot animation and into the OS. but after about 10 seconds my service shuts off (it shows a little R above my reception bars) and the phone reboots. just does this over and over.
so i thought maybe it was the ROM so i tried AOKP jellybean. same issue.
any idea what i did wrong here? thanks in advance.
lol, i had the same problem as you. It happens because of the OTA update or radio version, try using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018518
I just followed Solution 1 and it worked for me, I was originally on CWM but moved to TWRP cause it's more convenient.
After using the RUU you'll be back to bone-stock and will have to unlock the bootloader and all that fun stuff all over again that's if you use solution 1; however, atleast you'll be able to get the stock-rom backed up again for just-in-case. Skip OTA updates, and then proceed to recover and then start rom flashing/fastbooting kernel and all that fun stuff.
