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.

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..

Actually no. It consisted of doing data refresh's, hard resets, profile updates and username resets. Also we had to flag the phone stolen then have it taken off.

Activate Device
Mine was doing the same thing after a pushed PRL update...scratched my head for a while figuring it out. I used "Activate Device" in settings: it took a few tries but eventually showed results. Afterward, it allowed the profile update.
Last night I decided to try to update my prl through the updater in Sense and I got an error code 1233. Called sprint tech support and spent an hour trying to get it fixed. The tech ended up just sending me a new phone, which a huge buzz kill because I've had hboot 1.12 since the beginning with s-off. Was running toasted-deck from irc, and I don't know if that had anything to do with my phone getting screwed up so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has had this problem? I want to unlock this new phone when I get it too, and I'm really going to miss TD if this is a common problem.
I got the same thing while trying to update my firmware.

I was getting this too. I had to run an errand up to another major city north of where I live. While there, I figured I'd give it a shot again, and it worked there. If you get the opportunity, try running it in a different area from where you tried.
I'm surprised that they are sending you a new phone for this.

I searched high and low for a fix before I even called Sprint Tech. Any chance you can point me in the right direction? I'll just send them their locked down phone back if I can fix this one.

Unfortunately I did try in a few different areas. I live in Cincinnati and go to school in Dayton, but got the same error in both places. I really wonder how this even happened because I never had a problem running AOSP on my OG EVO so I don't think that could be it.
I had this happen on my 3D and when it did work it only connected to Verizon....weird I know and even the tech couldn't believe but I did a data reset on it and never had that problem again.

So I was on stock with goodies and just out of curiosity switched to mean rom to try and activate my phone. The activation went off without a hitch and now my phone is working perfectly again. So pumped.
if u were able to do it before then all of sudden u can't, it must be sprint

I had the same problem a few days ago. I was Running CM10 and switched over to Stock w/ Goodies to update my PRL and Profile so i can take advantage of LA's new LTE network but i kept getting that error. I ended up unrooting and relocking my phone and restored to complete stock after that it updated fine the first time. I doubt being rooted prevents you from updating either the PRL or Profile.
I was getting the same error code at work. I googled the code ansomeone said it was a connection problem. I believe this because I never get a good signal at work. When I got home my prl updated. I'm on meanrom.
Easy Fix
Turn off WiFi and LTE radio (CDMA only) and try it. You should be able to update the PRL and Profile.
As "zAcHcOmA" mentioned, I also gave them a Thanks for it.. I had the same issue with "Error Code 1233".
My problem started when I noticed every incoming call I tried to answer thru the Handset would basically act as if I missed the call. Seems I didn't have an issue answering through Blue Tooth though. Not exactly sure what is causing this. I'll keep an eye on it after updating my PRL & Profile. Anyways, I did the following and was able to update both PRL & Profile..
1. Make sure Wireless is off
2. Set network to by going to Settings - Mobile Data - Network Mode "CDMA only"
3. I was then able to update both PRL & Profile through System Updates and I then rebooted my phone.
I'll now find out if my issue is resolved or if I still have on going issues.
It happened about 10 minutes. But can't seem to find what changed. Has anyone else gotten one recently?

Was it an HTC software update? I don't have one... Unless you just now got the Jelly Bean update.
It was probably this:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/content.aspx?id=191316
It may have been an HTC update. The pop up was generic. I checked the link posted, that wasn't it.
The pop up said the an update has been downloaded and will be installed.

Deff can.
Sprint can force a number of things to update. PRL, and just a profile update are the most common to come through as they deal with your connectivity to towers and with all the tower upgrades they are likely to be needed more often now to ensure everyone is the most up to date.

I think there is at least an attempt to give one Android update. If you are lucky you get 2. What I mean is aside from security or "fix" updates you will get an Android level update. For instance the Thunderbolt, shipped with 2.2, got an update to 2.3, was lucky to get one to 4.0. Rezound, shipped with 2.3, got an update to 4.0. Now the DNA, shipped with 4.1, should get a 4.2 update. Doubtful it will get a 4.3 (or 5.0) update, but possible. This is just from my experience and observations.

I think HTC will make 2 updates for the GLOBAL DNA phone and possibly one for Verizon, but Verizon will only officially put out 1 update IMO. They won't sink any more $$ into the DNA. But that doesn't matter since as long as the GLOBAL version exists, Verizon users will get theirs. After Moonshine, how can we not believe our DEV can do anything. The only thing that would hurt this phone is if Beaups leaves the DNA community. I've seen where just one strong dev left the community for my phone and the phone support practically all but dried up. He seems to be the king of the DNA. As long as he supports it, we'll be fine.

Beaups doesn't develop ROMs. If he left there would be no difference as far as that goes.

Somewhat related question. I recently moonshined and now have all the s-off goodness that comes along with it (still on stock ROM minus bloat). Question is, when Verizon starts pushing the next software update, do I need to worry about my phone trying to accept it? Does the customized hboot preclude us moonshiners from getting the update?

Do you have a custom recovery installed. At the least I believe (and its been a while since I go an update on the phone with a custom recovery) that the recovery will not automatically install it. But I think there should be something you can freeze or remove that would prevent the OTA.
The HTC rep I talked to yesterday claimed thatthe DNA is HTCs favorite device. Even more favored than the One. He also claimed that the DNA, for that reason, will be supported with various updates for years to come....carrier permitting.

He was trying to make you feel better by saying so. From VZ track records, we'll be lucky to see Sense 5 by the end of the year if HTC releases it in the next 3 months.
There's no reason it shouldn't get updated. It's still quite new, and hardware is top notch. Now when? Who frigging knows! Verizon hates it's customers.
Sent from my DNA all in ya mouf
It does have the hardware and specs. Take Verizon out of the picture and this phone would already be on sense 5 (maybe not 4.2.2 yet). I think once the HTC One drops on Verizon it won't be long before the DNA gets it. Kinda funny Verizon is the last major carrier to get the HTC One and S4. They gotta get their dirty little fingers in there first, just so beaups, adamoutler and crew tell them to suck it.
Honestly, the ONLY thing I like about Verizon is there data speeds. Other wise I'd never of jumped ship from sprint.

Let's get the facts straight, it was just shy of 2 years from the phone getting introduced that it got ICS (Intro March 2011, ICS Feb 2013). Yes it was after the phone was EOL, but at least they did it.

Yep, that was exactly my point. We might not see a TIMELY update, but I am sure we will see one eventually.
TBH, if one is running the stock ROM, they are so far from stock Android it isn't funny anyways. I actually prefer Sense 4+ to Sense 5, HATE how they took away the animated lockscreen weather.
