Telstra LTE issues

finer6 · Feb 23, 2009 16 3 0

I bought a New One XL, and all was perfect... 4G worked no problem. After about 3 weeks I flashed a number of ROM's to my new One XL, trying them all for a few days each I settled on the Yanis ROM, which works very well. However I noticed that my phone wasn't going into 4G/LTE when in the city or at work in St.Kilda Rd Melbourne. Both locations are well within the Telstra 4G service area.

Since then I have tried everything

Various APN settings (Telstra.wap)
Network modes (GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto)
Swapped SIMs with a mate who has a 4G One XL working without a problem
Various Radios and Radio's +RILs
Relocking bootloader and
Returning to the Stock Shipped ROM
*#*#info#*#* and tried to select LTE only
Factory resets
data/cache/etc wipes

None of the above have given me 4G back...

I suspect the problem was caused when I flashed a US Rom (Sick Sense) which doesn't seem to exist anymore. It was the only ROM that wasn't Telstra based, and I had to manually enter the Telstra APN settings in to get the data working. Because it was a US ROM it reported that 4G was constantly on, which was the main reason I dumped it and went looking for an Aussie based one.

As far as I know I have wiped/reset/replaced everything software related, so i am starting to think it's hardware, but that doesn't make sense since 3G works perfectly, i'd imagine the hardware would be common.

Any suggestions as to how I may get my 4G back?

I would doubt running a non-Telstra based ROM would do that given many of us on Telstra are running ROMs like Clean ROM (and also CM10 Jelly Bean) and have 4G working just fine.

I only run the Telstra 1.89 radio (no ril files needed now) with Clean ROM 4.5 and get 4G, yet with CM9/AOKP there is no 4G (just have to work out where the settings are to tweak to get it back)

I guess if the RUU didn't work in getting 4G back it could very well be hardware, although like you, I doubt it.

You are back running a stock standard Telstra radio and ROM now?

Can you give us your current software and radio versions so we are all on the same page??

Which method did you use to unlock your bootloader?

I had the same issue but it was my own fault for not completing the unlock process properly and my phone still had the spoofed partitions and wouldn't connect to 4G no matter what I did.

Check that your IMEI is the same as what you have on your sticker in your HTC One XL box.

You can check your phone one under Settings > About > Phone Identity

Thanks for the replies guys...

I'll send the Rom/radio details tomorrow, but looks like last post by thejosh is on the money... My IMEI is incorrect...

I used the one-click method...

Now... How do I sort that out?

thejosh86 · Aug 13, 2012 at 1:02 PM

Hopefully you only ran it once or you followed the instructions and made a copy of the folder so you still have your original partitions.

If you so you just replace the spoofed partitions in the folder with your original ones, run the tool again but only to the point of where it flashes the partitions back. Then you can disconnect and reboot - check your imei matches and you should have your 4G back.

Have a look at this post - you will need to get a hold of those mentioned partitions:

I will see if I can get them off my phone and put them in Dropbox, unless someone else has them ready to go

*edit - wont be able to get them for a while, computer here at work doesnt want to play nice! sorry

Very nice of you to offer your phone's identity to someone in trouble :good:

finer6 · Aug 14, 2012

Yes indeed... I am happy to grab the partitions from a mate of mine if your more comfortable with that... otherwise, use the HEX editor to remove your IMEI, SN etc...

ill HEX edit mine back in...

I just have to say thanks for the help you guys have all given me. Wouldn't have any idea where to start with this problem, and i'd hate to think the trouble i could have been in if it were not for a few good samaritans.

finer6 · Aug 14, 2012

ok...

I grabbed three partitions from a mate with a Telstra One XL

mmcblk0p4
mmcblk0p5
mmcblk0p6

Used a Hex editor to fix up the details with my IMEI, SN, etc...

re loaded them back into my phone, rebooted...

Phone now displays the correct IMEI etc. but 4G is still not working... I might add, that *#*#info#*#* now lets me select "LTE Only" where it didn't before, only the phone displays no service

Is it possible that some partitions were over written in the early days of the Spoof CID scripts, that aren't in the current ones? The first time I unlocked the boot loader was when all this was brand new

Scrap that... Working perfectly... Took about 15 mins and a second reboot and 4g came alive

Pats on the back all round..

Good to see you had a happy ending mate.

You feel a bit lost on this phone without the 4G, I know I did.

Hi guys..
I managed to screw up the imei details on my phone also.

Using the tool above I was able to pull the 4/5/6 partitions, edited what looked to be all the SN and imei details and the tool seems to sucessfully push them back to the phone, however when I reboot the phone it all stays as it was.

Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?

finer6 · Feb 23, 2009 16 3 0

Yeah the restore.bat script is wrong... The flash partition command is back to front, ie. Its pulling the partitions again not putting them back.

kyl3 · Aug 19, 2012 at 3:58 AM

Ok thanks! So how did you get yours back to your phone?

finer6 · Feb 23, 2009 16 3 0

I looked at the line in the bat file... Corrected it and typed it into terminal emulator... I'll have the pc on Monday, if you haven't sorted.it out by then I'll fix the bat file.and repost the.HTC fix zip...

Thanks for your help.. Trying to figure this **** out!

So what do you think needs to be altered?

Code:

REM ############################################################################
REM #   Fixing your IMEI Numer
REM ############################################################################


CLS

@ECHO OFF
ECHO This script will restore the modified partitions

PAUSE


adb kill-server
adb wait-for-device

CLS
FOR %%i IN (4 5 6) DO (
	ECHO Pushing and flashing mmcblk0p%%i ...
	adb push mypartitions/mmcblk0p%%i /sdcard/mypartitions/mmcblk0p%%i
	adb shell "su -c dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p%%i of=/sdcard/mypartitions/mmcblk0p%%i"

)

adb shell "rm -rf /sdcard/mypartitions"

ECHO Hopefully this get you close


PAUSE
EXIT

This line

adb shell "su -c dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p%%i of=/sdcard/mypartitions/mmcblk0p%%i"

needs to be...

adb shell "su -c dd if=/sdcard/mypartitions/mmcblk0p%%i of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p%%i"

I have corrected is below in the code... you should be able to copy this
