[Q] has anyone flashed incredible s eng hboot (with CWM) on dinc2?

I have had a Tmo G2 and when sense Roms grew to be a bit too large, one of the Virtuous guys made a guide to flash over to a desire s hboot. I wonder if its possible to do something similar with dinc2 / incredible s? It can be a bit scarey (easy to brick if you don't know what you are doing) but I'd enjoy flashing over if possible.

I'm kind of a noob, so I'm not sure what the advantage is of using a different hboot.

Because if you install a GSM radio over a dual-band CDMA/GSM radio, you will likely lose all CDMA connectivity and i'd be utterly shocked if it booted at all.

If all you're using is the GSM band, use a rom that supports GSM (skyraider Zeus I recommend) and get the unlock code from Verizon.

Tried the RMK Rom. It does see the sim card and says switching to global mode now but I still do not get reception with any French carrier. I wonder if I had to do something before I left with Verizon. Some of my colleagues were told to dial *228 to activate global usage and theirs is working, so I am thinking that might be the problem.

Try the GSM/UMTS mode, instead of global, and you may have to add your carrier's APN yourself.

I put in my colleague's Verizon sim card which was activated before we left the US and it worked just fine, so obviously it was my sim card.
Thanks for all the tips.

Ah, okay! I thought you were using a local sim card.

s_off discussion thread.

To keep the development clean you can discuss here all related things concurring s off benefits and more.

Huh?
There is a huge thread that's never far from the top.

think he means that the thread is now development not development and discussion now.

Yes because that thread is cleaned a several times i do not want to risk its getting closed or the developer is getting sick of it and stops.
So please if you have something to say about soff that is not helping in anyway to get us nearer to a soff device please post out here if you want it of your back :good:

Just wondering, can we safely flash radios without S-OFF?

Yes unlike early version the radio is within the ROM. So if you flash a ROM with new base you are flashing with the new base.

What are we wanting from s-off then? If we can change the radio, remove carrier branding, change roms and sim-unlock, what else is there?

People want S-OFF so they can do stuff to their phones without having to use HTC's tool to void their warranties. I would assume that's one of the biggest ones.

The ability to flash boot.IMG from recovery is also a good perk. No need to get to a computer to flash a new kernel or ROM.

You can remove carrier branding without s-off by rooting and installing a custom rom but, for sim unlock, s-off is needed.

Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Google for a website that sells them.
You bought it in the uk, did you buy it from amazon uk or any online service? Contact the seller to see if he can help you.
I don't know what you mean by booting method.
Right now, all I can say is google is your friend.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.

As I know, all Dhd can be rooted by AAHK you must only follow the instructions.

[Q] Australia M8 wont connect to cell network after Google Edition Conversion

Hey guys, I put the google pay edition on my m8 but now it wont connect to the cell network. i used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589 and have tried the unrooted and rooted versions and every time it doesn't allow me to connect.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I'm on Telstra if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Well done space cadet, should have just bought the GPE......

I assume you flashed the gpe radio? That's most likely the problem.. Would check APN settings first, and if no, then you need to flash your radio back.

do you know how i could find that file? thank you for replying with a helpful comment.

i have searched everywhere and i can't find a replacement telstra radio.img
if anyone has this i would appreciate it so much.
it has been a few years since i last had an android and feel like a real dummy for not removing the radio.img before flashing the RUU. i really hope this problem is fixable. i'm loving my new phone but i really need it to be a phone.
thanks in advance to anyone who offers me some help. you are all amazing!

Has anyone found a solution to this? I was stupid enough to do the same thing. Aussie with Telstra htc one m8 and converted to GPE. It works well except for no service or data

I've got a backup of a Optus radio. My telstra work sim worked fine in it.

Can you please share it here ? Thanks

This is why it's important to make a note of everything before flashing anything. Obviously doesn't help now but hopefully lesson learned...

A bit off topic question for you.
I see you have M8. I am deciding btwn S5 and M8. Any suggestion which should be the "ONE"?

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread - has this been resolved? I'm having the exact same issue. Also with Telstra.
GPE installed - no service.
I tried flashing the radio found on Whirlpool through Recovery ZIP but nothing...
Any info would be much appreciated.
