    Post broken port need s-on before i send back to vzw

    have to do this,,,, hboot was replaced with revolutionary, so running a stock RUU should put it back. s-off is unlocked NAND and signing, so although part of root, is not root in itself. A stock RUU 'can' put s-on back but I am not sure for sure if it does. It is really just setting of some...

    Try this Go into EPST and set your REV-A to enabled instead of the stock eHRPD, as the algorithm has trouble in some locations. I had the same and even somtimes could not lock to either 3 or 4g until i did, made me think the device was bad but is ok now.
