So when i root does it have a internal counter like SGSII?
So that the service provider could check it and deny warranty?
When/is it possible to root the GSM version?
Does the s-off method thats available now not work?
Then i wouls also like to request a s-off for the gsm!
idk about the SGS2 but if the employee doesn't know what root is (most of them don't) then you should be good cause he won't know what such apps are like superuser or SETPCU. those are tells that ur obviously rooted.
but if u take it in for repairs they can see that your S OFF.
also if they try to update profile or prl they will not be able to connect to sprint and thats a tell as well. that happened to me once but i just came back unrooted 20mins later and they did it. Guys at the store i go to know what root is and don't really care, they don't lose anything out of u being rooted

You can still update prl and profile and remain rooted.

That's a lie, I was always able to update my profile and prl. OTAs were a no go though.
When sprint tried to do it they couldn't get to the Sprint towers and push it throught. i drove home real quick-unrooted-came back- and voila!

Really? You must have been in a bad area profile and prl you can do it rooted but no aosp (even tho nexus s 4G can) OTA is diferent cause the recovery doesn't work with htc updates
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

The Thunderbolt is the first phone that I have rooted so I am still new to this. Can I still use the Verizon *228 to update roaming or will that mess up something since I am rooted? I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Shea
*228 doesnt work on the thunderbolt..it runs off a sim card...there has been talk that trying *228 may negatively affect the sim..your more than welcome to search...
Read somewhere that you actually can't hit *228 on the Thunderbolt--phone won't allow it. Haven't tried it myself though...as stated its supposed to screw up the phone.
Update roaming
Is it unnecessary to update the roaming on the TB?

I've tried it a couple times. It doesn't do anything. You hit 'send' and it just goes back to the dialer screen. Phone still works flawlessly.
If for some strange reason you are able to get *228 to work you will fry your SIM card. Don't do it. You thunderbolt is designed to update your roaming list (also known as PRL) every time it boots up. Hit a new city? Just reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
from what i have been reading and understand, the thunderbolt auto updates the PRL (roaming capabilities) upon boot if and updated one is available.

I was flashed to ROCKO unlocked, and decided that I want to update my sprint stuff cause I wasn't able to on any custom stock ROM, it would stay on "Contacting Network" when I would try to update. So I SBF'd to 198_7 and unlocked again, and I am still not able to update my data profile or prl, still the "Contacting Network". My phone is activate, it just can't update profile/prl.
If I recall correctly, you have to have sprint push the profile update to you. I've read that people, who do stuff like switch roms get flagged in every their system. I think it was something asking the lines of security precaution. I'm pretty sure once you call, they can get your profile updated, then you should be able to update your prl.

^This exactly. Give sprint a ring. If thats still a no go try letting it activate and update through the Sprint Zone activation and updater app.
Thanks guys.
Would I have to lie and tell them that I never root or unlocked the bootloader/flashed other ROMS?
I've looked everwhere in Sprint Zone, and can't find the updater.
I personally have just told them that I was doing an OTA update and it had an issue or something along those lines lol they wont question too much, or atleast never have for me
IDK, I have trouble lying when it doesn't make sense lol. Could I mention that I'm trying to develops apps and need certain permissions etc. ?

It's activated(able to make calls, 3g, etc). It's either flagged like a previous poster has mentioned, or something about PDS partition, from doing all the SBF'ing flashing different roms etc.

Similar Problem Updating Profile/PRL
I am unrooted and for some reason when I go into the Sprint Zone App it tells me there is a Profile and PRL update but if I choose either it gets stuck in "Contacting Network" and all I can do is reboot.
I spoke to Sprint and they made me out an "eTicket" to take to the nearest Sprint "repair" store but I am without wheels at the moment and kinda hoping someone might know whats going on.
The lady I spoke to said that these was a problem with the nearest tower to me, that it was operating at 3/4 efficiency, and that may be why I can't get my phone to update? Has anyone been told this before and is this something that could be the problem or is it just BS?
She said that most likely I would get a replacement when I could take my phone to the Sprint store.
Someone had a similer problem in another thread and a got a reply from someone asking what their H/W version number was. On my phone under H/W version it says unavailable.
Why would that happen and if I could somehow fix that might that be the ultimate fix to my issue?
Any help would be great...This is really the only problem I'm having. I really like this phone. It is a beast. Being in a 4g area is pretty awesome and being able to get constant 8-10 Mb (outside) is worth every penny. In my house during daytime hours I can only get 2-3 Mb but thats pretty damn cool.
If the camera was just a little bit better at taking low-light pics, this might be one of those "near perfect" phones in my opinion.
By the way, everyone that contributes here is awesome. I love this community and all of XDA.
Thanks

I have been sucessfully using the phone since I purchased it in March. I know there has been a fix for data and I believe SMS. Now there is an ICS update. I cave not rooted or flashed or modded just kind of waited until the official update to see what it changed. Your thoughts?
I'm using my Rezound on T-Mobile. You will only get EDGE (2G) since the rezound doesn't have T-Mobile's AWS band. The same with AT&T I believe (only 2G). The Rezound is already SIM unlocked all you need is a GSM ROM
Unless you live in an area where they have refarmed their 2G to 3G. AT&T has already done it in New York City (downtown). And T-Mobile in Washington State (some city there idk).
The gist of it is. For the moment on the HTC Rezound with a US GSM carrier you will only have 2G (EDGE) data connection. Until those carriers switch their 2G off and refarm it to 3G.
I just want to update it with ics. Try the fixes for data, sim etc that everybody else has used. I just don't know where to start.
Phone service works
Phone service is fine live in California 3g/4g area no dropped calls. I use WiFi for data, but want to get data from my carrier and text. Any thoughts?

Data is just a matter of Setting the APN... While SMS is deeper in the ROM..
If you are on Stock ICS then flash this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46585775/HTC Rezound/STOCKGSMFIX.zip
Then go into your dialer *#*#4636#*#* and check under phone information that GSM is selected.
BACKUP!! BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING
Or you can just flash one of the ICS roms (GSM) that have Sense 4 so you won't get the "Invalid Sim blah blah"
My APN area is locked down and grayed out. How can that area be unlocked? I am currently running th and want to update to ice.

? Even when I had Verizon the APN settings was changeable...
Why don't you just backup and flash either the Stock ICS or a custom ROM and then restore just your DATA and see if it doesn't give you any issues?
What do you recommend for a good back up application and where should I get the ics flashed from? I don't know why the APN is grayed out if I knew how to do a screen shot I would post it for you.

If you are dev-unlocked or have S-OFF you can use amon ra to do a complete system backup...
But there is an app in the Play Store called ROM Toolbox Lite which lets you backup apps, bookmarks etc to your sdcard... Then all you got to do is flash a rom you want and redownload the Toolbox app from the play store and restore.
I downloaded the tool box lite and received a message that it failed to obtain root access. I guess that means that I am unrooted? Not quite sure what root or unroot means.

By that I assume you do not have an unlocked bootloader? And you are as stock as you can get.
If you are 100% Stock and you want ICS.. You could update by flashing the ICS PH98IMG.zip via the bootloader.. but that will cause a factory reset with no hope of getting anything backed up.
Back when the rezound was released there was a Temp Root method but it never worked for me. If you acheive Temp Root you can run ToolBox and do an app backup.
Root = Having control of Androids System and being able to do backups/restore
Yes, I am out of the box as stock as you can get. The only thing I did was change GSM to get T-Mobile and then patiently waited for official ICS to come. With that said where do I start and please assume I know nothing it is just safer for the phone that way.

If you achieve Temp Root using the link i posted.. All You will gain is root privilege until the phone is powered off.
While in Temp root you should be able to create a backup of your phone to your sdcard.
So Make Sure you Have the HTC Drivers Installed
And that you have ADB installed
Sounds good.....here is my hand please walk me through this. Is this what I need to do to upgrade to ics?

:highfive:
Well technically the update should present itself to you aslong as you have an active DATA connection. Now being on T-Mobile might be whats stopping the update from coming to your rezound.
You do not need Root to update to ICS since the update is available on the internet for you to download and install it via sdcard. But you won't be able to backup anything besides what Google Backs up on it own (Contacts & App purchases).
So If you want to stay Stock and upgrade to ICS then you can go ahead and download the ICS update and install it via sdcard. Just remember you will loose everything not saved in the sdcard (internal or external won't be touched).

I am backing up my data now. Still on stock GB. Can you tell me what I should flash to if there is a link to upgrade this to ICS since I am on
Verizon I will not get the upgrade notice and need to do a manual install. I also want to get data and SMS too. A lot of this has been since
resolved, but I am not sure which are which. Could you please, tell me so I can get this done once and for all. I feel like I am living in the stone

Hello all! I am need of assistance, I recently traded my black rooted s-off lte for a white unrooted ota having beast. After letting Sprint do their thing we weren't able to successfully have data on his phone. I have walked the guy through nandroiding back into a ROM I had and he updated the PRL successfully but, had an issue connecting still. He tried updating the Profile with no luck. Here is a little info:
BASEBAND:1.05.11.06.06
PRL VERSION: 25006
S-OFF
Stock w/Goodies 2.10 is the Sense ROM he is using.
what are my options?
call sprint and have them as they say "refresh" your services. had the same problem last weekend. you could try a ##72786# and reset it and let it go through the hands free activation and see if they will fix it.

I tried that too.Currently on the phone with Sprint now. So the phone being rooted has nothing to do with it not updating correct?

i did all this rooted on tranquility rom.
Thanks for being helpful.

Still no luck I was given the advice to update the radios. Would this fix my issue? Whats Sprints stance on it being rooted. I know my warranty is
void but will they still try to fix it?
do the##3282# go to edit then put the msl....select data profile....active profile put a 1 press menu select commit modifications....the do the##72786# that should work...if it didn't work try updating your profile over WiFi

No, its your MSL code. The one you get from running MSL Reader if you have root. Just put that code in after ##72786# prompts you for it.

yea stupid me realized after I posted that. Just had to root to get it. Well it seemed to work for a minute. Got service and then it disconnected.

If you didn't get sprint insurance does the warranty cover things like this?
For future reference the free version of CDMA workshop will give you msl without root and if you call sprint tech support and ask for it they have no reason to not give it to you. You should take it to sprint and see if they will swap it out.

So got it swapped for a new evo 4g lte. But the other evo would work only in 4G areas. Data would work but neither voice or texting would work.
Strange. Maybe this phone handles the "handoff" better I hope.
