After I successfully got s off on my phone and my wife's phone, when I first make a call it connects to sprint to activate the radio. My question is am I gonna have to do this every single time I flash a new rom or no? Just curious is all.
I doubt it, it probably has to do with cracking the bootloader. That's probably where the exploit was.
I have s off and root. No problems so far with tibacup, texts or calls. And I've yet to be connected to sprint pre call

Same here rooted and can receive/make calls/text without needing to contact sprint.
Your handset prolly failed the handsfree activation after you unlocked it so it dialed sprint for activation
It's Sprints new enhanced security. The rep on the phone told me it could be activated by a few things including hands free activation the phone battery getting low going out of service area. I didn't tell her I rooted of course.

If you are getting error 16, wait a long time and speak with representative, have them reset the service thingy. It worked for me after not being able to call.
So what is everybody saying when they talk to sprint?

S-OFF means you can install Superuser. Superuser lets root apps know you have root and they can send superuser commands to your phone.
Same here, calls didnt work - error 16 message. Connected to a sprint rep automatically and she asked if I changed anything on my phone recently, all I said was nope. Asked her why this happened, she said new security enhancements. She pushed a "fix" and said to power off power on and I should be good. Did that, S-OFF still there.... I am Golden.

Fellow Rezound users!
After many phone 1 hour+ calls, exchanging phones, sim cards, drives to VZW stores and waiting. HTC finally seemed to take a look at the problem and confirmed it to be a software issue regarding the mobile hotspot. Got a call from an HTC rep yesterday and said they are fixing the issue. However, there is no lead time on how long we'll have to wait for the update. Good/bad news, take it however you want it. Just letting everyone know that a fix is coming hopefully soon.
Now if we can get them to send us a free charger or something since we're paying for a service that's not performing as it should...

They are talking about the verizon official hotspot which I don't pay for. I have hotspot on my 5th line (to get the unlimited data on that line), so I'm using my bolt for hotspot.
Some users are reporting poor performance on the hotspot (youtube buffering severely), that doesn't happen when using temp root and wifi tether.

I'm with you, and I thank you! Squeaky wheel gets to oil. If all we do is complain on a forum, nothing will get done. So I even told them I am calling back next week to get an update on the OTA. If they don't have a date, I may press to get a $30 refund for a useless service I paid for.

So my phone all of sudden has been getting really slow data speeds. I'm talking 50-100 kbps down. It's not the area because I just compared it to my friend's Evo 3D while we in the same room and he was getting over 1 mbps. I already updated my profile, prl and data profile and it didn't make a difference.
If I take it in to Sprint repair, they're probably going to update the firmware and software right? I'm on HBOOT 1.4 right now and I definitely don't want HBOOT 1.5.

Did you make any changes to your phone before the slow speeds started? New ROM? New kernel? New radio? Also, if you keep your hboot S-off, it won't mater if they update it, you can revert back to 1.4. Updating it won't set you back to S-on.

Nope. My phone is completely stock, s-on, unrooted. Should I get s-off and then take it in?
If your phone is stock, call Sprint at *2 and have them send a reset to the phone. That would most likely correct your problem.

Well, it depends. Do you have intentions of rooting and flashing down the line? If so it's easier if you're S-off. If you don't, then it won't matter if you update. I'm still not very clear of Sprint's policy of working on phones that are S-off.

Just the basic settings in the phone. It would no effect any contact data, apps or such. It's the quickest fix for problems such as yours. It would even work with a rooted phone and likely all they would do at the Sprint store.

Thanks for being so helpful but I figured it out.
I'm wondering if anyone has been denied a return. Does sprint check the bootloader for *Tampered* or *Re-locked*?
I really want to start flashing roms but there is the possibility that I won't keep the phone.
Just relock your bootloader and run ruu. Then it will be acceptable. At least that's what I had to do after I showed up at the store all rooted and everything.

Well my power button was in the fritz the first day. Unfortunately the Regional HTC was at my local Sprint. Guess what he did? That's right. Booted into the bootloader. Why. I have no frikken clue. All the reps were amazed by what I did to the Dr ice so soon. Even another local sprint about 5 miles away found out (a friend of mine that works there told me) I was pretty pissed that I went in there to exchange it out and he booted Into that. O asked him for what reason, but he seriously had no clue what the f**k he was talking about. Honest to god. I'm mean, I'm sure he was just a sales Rep for HTC. But damn. When he seen that Tampered sign and when he also booted into TWRP, he was like "jeez, android in gone. Why did you do that?" LOL. So, o talked to one of my girl friends from Sprint, she's gonna hook me up. But I wad so shocked that he did that, all over me ha ing an issue with my power button. That was the first for me. Thank is god tha issue I had was due to a couple of apps .or allowing my phone to sleep correctly. Ahh well

Well to be fair a bad kernel could affect the power button. Maybe he thought you were flashing kernel ports or something

Both AT&T and Verizon appear to be equal in almost every aspect in my area( Coverage, cost of the plan I need, subsidized phone cost), so that leaves the 1 question that really matters:
Which is easier both to root, and even more importantly, unroot to the point I can still use my warranty?

Hi everyone: It all started last night when I tried to do a PRL update but accidentally hit Profile update...Now my data doesn't work! I took my phone to the sprint store to see if they can get it going and they couldn't.
They tried a prl/profile update and a hard reset its a no go, They also tried ##72786# code and the phone won't activate the MSL screen even ##DATA# won't work. They said they never seen this issue before and said I need a replacement (Refurb).
I don't want a refurb! Is there anything I can do to fix it...Im 100% stock with the new OTA update.
this also happened to me- I had to get them to order me a new one yesterday... Also from what they said, they still are sending out new ones as replacements here..
