Just curious, since someone asked over in Q&A if S-On devices will still be supported, how many people are staying or not.
to me, the whole physically taking wires and jumping those pins is what turns me off to it.
i remember s-offing my inc, and just running that one click program...meh, if something like that comes along, i'll do it..but as for right now, i'm a bit weary of it
Yep, its a super easy, painless process. I have done it on 2 Rezounds so far, took me 2 tries on the first and I got it on the first on the second.
Yes, wasn't easy at first, just took patience & making sure the tiny pin connection actually got touched.
Do you still need to do the HTC dev unlock to get s off?

You have to be unlocked and rooted to do it, then once you s-off it will switch the bootloader back to locked.
Got it done. It wasn't nearly as hard as it was made out to be.
Did it Saturday night... Took me more time to back up my internal memory then anything. I had a spare SD card also.
Not yet.... waiting for a free block of time... perhaps this weekend
yup - took all of like 5 minutes - I used a paperclip wrapped with some electrical tape

Did the same thing...never had to leave my computer desk! Now I have a prison shank and nothing to do with it.
I felt compelled to be free. I did s-off on both my phones. It feels great to nandroid back and forth now.

Yeah, it's pretty generous to call it circuitry in this instance! I mean, it is, technically you're completing a circuit.

Hi,
So as the title states i have 0 data [3G/LTE]..
Background:
This afternoon my rezound went dead and wouldn't charge.
So after 6 hours on the charger and no turning on my girlfriend came home with her rezound. i popped the battery in and it started right up except it wouldnt boot all of the way.
After a few tries i wiped and tried again. Still no go. So i wiped and went to flash a backup and sdcard wouldnt mount. After a few unsuccessful tries on device and computer i pressed reformat. That got the SD working.
I downloaded a few roms both ICS and GB wiped and installed. None will provide me mobile data. It sees wifi networks just fine.
My girlfriend has both LTE and 3G and i have full cell bars.
WTF!?

Well this sounds to me like a phone specific problem. I've heard of people's batteries going dead and not charging again, but I've never heard of no data before. If I were you I'd take it back to verzion. I heard they're offering people galaxy nexuses as replacement phones for people who have problems with their rezound!
Hope I helped!

IM not trolling I had a no data issue leaving work and was going to mention it. The only way I fixed it was a full reboot. Also after I rebooted I was stuck in cdma prl. Changed it to cdma/lte and it started working. The weird thing was it said data was on but no 1x 3g or 4g. Toggled everything and nothing helped cept the reboot.
Also atleast HTC doesn't make you wait for over a year for a barely updated version of the same thing and make you feel like you need it (Apple)

Wow. Well I'd just take it to a Verizon rep at one of their stores and see what they have to say because the battery problem is definitely a recurring problem with other rezound users. I don't know about the no data problem though. I've heard of people constantly dropping data, but I've never seen someone who doesn't have it at all.

Anyone ever go into download mode and notice that their phone is making a 'clicking' noise. Really the only way to describe it. If the phone isn't in download mode, no clicking when connected to the USB cable.
Yeah, I've heard it before as well. I just imagine it's tiny little Samsung elves laboring away inside the phone, making $#!t happen.
It's the hard drive.

I get it too, but usually after installing a rom while rebooting.
Thats just the loudspeaker given short spurts of electricity. Or sparks inside your phone that makes the battery explode, not sure.
Its the LTE radio trying to connect to the towers so your phone can boot up to 10X faster than 3G boot times.
It's the BEATS hardware giving you a little somtin-somtin while you wait.
Its the awesomeness of this phone banging against the glass trying to get free

I don't normally post just to post...but had to say I LOL'ed a couple times. Wonder which one of these is true?
Maybe ALL of them! YES!
Sat here and tried to come up with my own add on...but I can't match those.
Hi everybody, I have a bit of a problem. I was rooted and unlocked running CM10.1 perfectly fine but with the minor bugs that come with Cyanogenmod, no biggie. Its not the first time ive been running custom ROMS, I unlocked/relocked and 2 times before that perfectly fine. I started noticing that while running cm10.1, I would touch one thing, and a bunch of other things get clicked on, and I couldn't back out of them, or press home. I have to lock the screen, then unlock it and it works, I thought it was just a bug. It got really annoying, so today I relocked and unrooted my phone back to stock. But it does the same thing. It will freeze constantly, touch screen calibration is off sometimes, and does things on its own now.... I cant take it to sprint because I dont have warranty, and my HTC warranty is voided because I unlocked it. Has anybody experianced the same thing? Any advice, fixes, solutions? It will do it about every 5 minutes or so. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Are you currently on a stock rom?

Hello,
If anyone can save me a couple hundred bucks that I dont have, I would appreciate it.
Im running an S-OFF Unlocked DNA with
This rom - http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2141129
and this kernel - http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2021714
I've been running it without issues for two weeks. Today it just wouldnt turn on. It doesnt accept a charge. Ive gotten the white HTC screen to come on for a second a couple times, and I've gotten it to boot up fully once. But after the screen timed out, it wouldn't come on again.
Any help would be appreciated. Dont have money to buy another phone.
I've tried searching. Most people that have boot issues can at least get to a bootloader or recovery screen. I cannot.
Have you tried letting it charge for a long while? I've heard it takes some times up to fifteen minutes for the charging led to even lit.

Open up the phone and try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it if you feel comfortable doing that. I suggested that to a user having the same problem as you and that fixed it a couple of days ago.

I personally have never opened up this phone so I wouldn't know. But this is a suggestion that worked for someone else and has also worked when my nexus 7 did a similar act. It wouldn't indicate it was charging and wouldn't turn on but disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it worked for me. I doubt it's something to do with software as you said your set up was working fine for 2 weeks. I'm pretty sure this should fix it for you.

Well, I got the battery disconnected and reconnected. Even though the battery sits under the motherboard, the battery has a thin connector that its accessible without removing anything else. It doesnt appear that my problem has been fixed. I guess I wont ever know, my screwdriver slipped off the screw and connected with a pin on the board and sparked. Pretty sure I just shorted the whole thing.
Claim insurance or warranty. It sounds like a hardware problem if that didn't fix it.

I should mention it was jtagged. Not saying that was the root cause. But the inside of the phone is definitely different than a stock one. Mobiletechvideos.com put a different film on it than the one it came with. Any chance of warranty or insurance is out.
You can still try to claim it. Most of the time they aren't looking inside the phone. Though this really isn't your fault. It sounds like the hardware failed and that is why it wouldn't charge and boot. But we won't know now. I don't know how jtag works but it could have contributed to it.

Just to add my 2 cents,
I have sent back phones to verizon and asurion for issues and every phone except one was rooted and never had an issue. I even traded in my thunderboolt towards the dna when it came out (they offered me $72.00) and all i did was uninstall superuser/busybox & titanium backup right in front of the rep and my fiance then handed it right to the guy on the spot. He turned it on, made sure the touch screen worked & then said ok, you get full trade in price.
As for the other phones that I sent in, droid eris, incredible and 2 samsung, all with one issue or another, never once did they charge me or call or anything. Got the new phone next day, sent the old one in and thats it. I have never had an issue.
Now I know this may not have happened for every one but I think if you just send it in via mail and not have an instore rep look at it, you will never have an issue. I think if an in store rep sees an issue and realize its rooted, they may flag it in case it goes in for verizon replacement or asurion replacement but just a normal send in should not cause an issue.
I have been using my Rez as a dashcam for a few months since getting the S4 and during the last cold snap it killed it. I walked out to the car and it appeared to be charging, then tried to power on and it kicked the bucket. No lights, sounds, nothing. Tried swapping batteries, and still can't get it to respond. Oh well, RIP Rezound.
