[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-ro-mex:
I have a Xoom using Android 3.2 since yesterday.

Totally agree, even at stock GPU/CPU speeds... 180° is perfect (or is very close to, even with lots of widgets), portrait mode is only slightly laggy, probably wouldn't notice it if you didn't know. Very happy with it.

Browser redraw seems much improved as well with sites like XDA with flash enabled.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjsoviet:
Excellent. Using the Transformer on portrait mode would be less of a hassle now. Since you're on a 3.2 Xoom as well, could you verify if there's a major improvement in the stock browser text input? Is it as responsive as, say, Opera Mobile?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave-ro-mex:
I would say there is slight improvement, altough it may be in my head as everything in the OS seems a little more responsive in general, but it is still bad.

I can try and make a video of text input on certain websites if required. Just let me know which sites, as obviously some sites are better than others in the stock browser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjsoviet:
Thanks. Maybe try XDA, Engadget, Overclock.net as reference. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kreeckmann:
Hi, i'm a brand new user of Transformer Asus,

and its really great the experience,

i've installed recently Clemsyn Kernel, and got improved in 70% mhz benchmark but FPS continues same...

I will be patient to developments solving this problem.

Regards! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I don't suppose anyone knows if the 3.2 update will fix video judder with audio?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
So is it case closed on this, now that 3.2 is out?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
hmm... from what I have read on early builds of 3.2, this issue has not been fixed at all. In fact it would seem that Asus rushed out this upgrade without fixing many of the previous issues like scrolling artifacts and browser typing lag.

I get the feeling that Honeycomb is never really going to be all that great, but especially if source is locked down. I truly hope that ICS will be made available on existing honeycomb tablets..... maybe then we will see some magic happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowballz69:
Def hasent been fixed . Big bummer on 3.2
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamedok:
Still not fixed in 3.2

Bumping this up again to be noticed. x.x;
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspiby:
This still isn't fixed in JellyBean, does anyone know the cause and have a fix before I sell up and get a decent tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xufuchang:
it's the tegra 2 problem. the only way to fix it is to buy non tegra 2 device :p
[HD2 General] Spendy:
I have been offered a straight swap for an unlocked Nexus S in white and was wondering what peoples thoughts would be. I have never seen the Nexus S in front of me only Pictures. I am running NexusHD2-Froyo on my HTC which I love but is the Nexus S a better phone or will I be dissapointed? Any feedback would be great :-)
[HD2 General] silverwind:
If I were you, I would stay on HD2 because the specs is not really difference.

If you want to move, then choose HTC Sensation or Samsung SGS II.

Cheers
[HD2 General] Spendy:
I ended up buying it for £170, Will see how it is and If I don't like it I can sell it for more in Ebay :-)

ORIGINAL ENG HBOOT FOR HTC DESIRE S from asd0r :)

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF

RADIO-38.03.00.03M

eMMC-boot

Can also be used to S-ON AND return to stock

THX

Http://marsdroid.6te.net
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
before people are asking and trying: flashing bootloader with dd if= of= is NOT working with temproot only

so we need another way to flash it

1 Click flash for S-Off + perm root is attached, just extract the archiv and run the flash.bat

if someone is curious what its doing:

wrong code, attached new 1click eng s-off at next post
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
added PG88IMG and your 1 click bat blezz

thx
[HTC Desire S] zzz16:
Will this work on a S-ON desire s? To make it S-OFF?

Regards
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
the simple answer is NO NOT YET !

sry

marsdroid
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
please update 1st post with new 1click

made a little mistake, included gingerbreak for root even if perm root is required for this 1click :D

new code:

@echo off
cls
adb devices
echo If your device is not listed exit this program now, enable usb debugging and try again.
pause
cls
adb push hboot.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/hboot.img
echo Please accept superuser request on your phone
adb shell su
pause
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
echo Bootloader should be flashed to your device now, backup from old bootloader is saved at /sdcard/backup.img
pause
adb reboot bootloader

edit: attachmed removed cause brokenworm added it to 1st post
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Sorry, but newbie question here , what benefits are there to me (soff/root/unsecured boot.img) having used XTC and super one click would this engineering hboot provide?

I'm currently on hboot 0.98.0000

Thanks for answers
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
eng s-off is offering more options like flashing radio & recovery with fastboot (over bootloader)
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
its done

10char
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Ty

And all I need to do it's flash the PG188IMG.zip as per normal?

am I correct on thinking that this update doesn't contain a radio as I've already update mine?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
it's only hboot, well u can use the PG88IMG.zip or the 1click i offered, both ways should work without problems
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
These HBOOT is based on my boot?

In that case I'm very happy for this :D
[HTC Desire S] heavyhms:
Is possible to restore original hboot and stock firmware for warranty purpose?
[HTC Desire S] suiller:
probably it comes from your device even if it isn't the only one... you're special but not "so much" :p

anyway it seems that one (or more) developer inside htc flash randomly an un-locked hboot :D
[HTC Desire S] suiller:
with an original update from htc for sure... the classic RUU trough htc sync
[HTC Desire S] heavyhms:
Overwrite ENG Hboot also?
[HTC Desire S] suiller:
yep, so wait before flash ;)

anyway you can flash the recovery so you can start by upgrading your radio
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
shortly said: htc ruu will restore everything EXCEPT xtc clip s-off
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
hmmmm the text says soff and perm root

we have clockwork mod recovery images for desire s

so we can finally flash other roms

rephrase: i am formiliar with cmd/adb

if i flash the pd image and then the clockwork recovery over fastboot then i would be able to flash the coredroid rom
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Will this new guide applicable to s-on desire s? To male it s off?
[HTC Desire S] ludemon:
Hi,

An old thread I know, but I've recently been using the information here to get my phone to ENG S-OFF and HBOOT 0.98.2000 (PG8810000) mainly to use more Fastboot oem commands. One command I tried was fastboot oem changeCid 11111111 however it does not seem to work. There is an initial response then it stops at Start to change CID! and the phone bootloader freezes which can only be revived by removing and replacing the battery.

Here is a readout of what happens :

...

(bootloader) Chage CID command

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) Start to do authentication

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) sdcc_init_memory_device done

(bootloader) Start to change CID!

Can anyone help with this?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
@miniterror: to flash the image from brokenworm or my 1click you need s-off and perm root

@yerfdes: no
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
cant the pdimage be signed so s-on users can also flash it to get root?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
it can, but first we have to get some special forces to break into htcs building and steal there key they use to sign ;)

installating a new bootloader is way more complicated duo to s-on

here is some description from jkoljo:

(taken from htc sensation forum, anyway still the same thing)
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
That sucks big time

Thanks for that cleared it up a little for me
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
How big is the chance off brick?

If it signs and writes but fail at the end im screwed i think.

Or is there a program like odin with a downloadmode combo just like samsungs have:p
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
Haha is that for the chance off brick or for a program like odin?
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
both

there is no program like odin and well there are 2 options, it flashes or it doesnt flashes, no way how it should brick ;) except your download gets damaged and it flashes a corrupted bootloader
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
hmmmm

i downlaoded the pg88img file

renamed it to update.zip

signed it witht he software(btw wich device are those keys from that are in the signer package? do they need to be changed by files from the device?)

rename the update_signed.zip back to PG88IMG.zip

this is the correct way?

im a little scared to brick the device as booth devices arent mine:p
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
yes thats the right way, put it on sdcard, reboot your phone into bootloader, it will check the file and then nothing will happen ;) no flash no brick simply nothing ;)
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
i hope it will work:p

where to get other keys:-o

edit: cant the goldcard helper get the keys from the desire to have the actual keys?

dunno as i never used goldcard

pps: sorry for all the noob questions:p
[HTC Desire S] Blezz:
well we simply have to wait.. i'm trying around but i still don't got any useful idea to bypass the s-on or the key check, if the post is true that the evo got the unlocked bootloader today we may be lucky and get it soon too
[HTC Desire S] miniterror:
lol im really dumb:p
[HTC Desire S] Asd0r:
In the root there isn't any file, but I don't know exactly what is a strange file :(

Where I can search better?

I have changed the stock SD but I copy all the file and folder to the new one. Is it the some?

As mentioned: I think that my phone with ENG BOOT isn't in the right hands. Does someone want to buy it?
[HTC Desire S] ghuk:
I hope someone could develop and fix this thing so that we could s-off our DS :D

Btw, is it worth swapping my Desire S for the DHD? what do you think guys? I think DHD has more community support than our DS.

@Asd0r

I've successfully applied and given thanks. :D

Now comes the daft question, I have to ask as I'm curious, after I've flashed, when I now enter my bootloader, rather than get

HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000) as shown in post #1

I get : HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG88*****)

Can anyone tell me why? and what the *'s mean? :confused:

[HTC Desire S] codryn:
My Desire S was S-ON with HBOOT 0.98.0000. I have unlocked it with alpharevx and now I have HBOOT 6.98.1002. Should I flash this version of HBOOT? And if yes how could I do this in most easier way.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I read this post yesterday from ieftm the project initiator of the AlpharevX.

So apparently AlpharevX HBOOT should contain the same functionality.

So don't bother.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Something is wrong; After zipping I get -"Bypassed". Then the option to reboot.

As per sigi I'm rooted and S-off.
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
This ENG hboot is the REAL DEAL .ORI. not some text edited alpharevx hboot ..BIG diff
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
so are you saying that device with the alpharevx hboot doesn't contain the same functionality as our ENG devices do?

Have you actually used One to compare ?

I don't understand what you mean by text edited? Please could you explain?
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
its the same hboot just with their name at the top.. and new version edited...

the one i got from asd0r is a ORIGINAL hboot from a real HTC developers saga .

There is NO useless adds from alpharevx added..

Its Untouched. Big diff
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15493125&postcount=1

With this one, you won't get the "Bypassed" message.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Is this revised? Because I'm sure this is the one I used!
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Your right! I don't get the "Bypassed" message any more. Lol, but I don't think it changed any thing. I still have the Alpharev logo.
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
Wow, this is strange, I don't have the logo anymore with this one...

EDIT : Did you try "fastboot flash hboot hboot_file.img" where hboot_file.img is the one you can find on the first page of this thread ?

By Alpharev logo, you mean the text in the head of hboot or splashscreen ?
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I'm not even asked any proceed y/n questions it just parses and returns to HBoot. Any way that I can check its worked?
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
Is ENG written at the top of the hboot screen ?
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
No its same as before I just tried still says alpharev

Would flashing the hboot img with Android flasher 1.8 be worth a try ?
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
Flash it using fastboot.
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
Ok ive done it I extracted the PG88IMG.zip on my laptop then put my DS in fastboot then i ran Android Flasher 1.8 and browsed for the extracted .IMG file

my hboot now reads

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT 6.98.2000 (PG88100000)

RADIO 38.03.02.11_M

eMMC-boot
[HTC Desire S] Igl0:
You're done !
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I still have the Alpharev logo

my Hboot is 6.98 1002

I'll try and push the SPL via Fastboot commander later.
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
1002 is too new.
[HTC Desire S] craig1965:
If you follow these instructions it works
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I used Fastboot Commander to go via Fastboot and there should be no difference between that and Android Flasher! Are there any downgrading or compatibility issues with this? I'm told that this is HTC own S-off bootloader yet it says "eng S-off" which strikes me as being rather an odd label! Surely an in house piece of kit wouldn't need the "eng"?
[HTC Desire S] cyberspaced:
The camera broke on my wifes phone, but I got s-on and back to original rom with the eng. Hboot, so I hope to get it repaired without any problems, thanks all!! (o:
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
Request this sticky plz. It was before .
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Tried everything. PB88IMG, and pushing via Fastboot Commander and Android Flasher and I still have Alpharev hboot 1002! Both programs say they have successfully completed the task! When I try the 1-click I'm told that adb is not a recognised task.

[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
OK, what exactly are you doing? There are more radio's here.

Rename the file PB88IMG.zip not PB88IMG.zip.zip. Put it in the root of your sd card and power up via Hboot.
[HTC Desire S] szrobi66:
It does not work :( PB88IMG not PG88IMG? With SDK installed radio.img
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
Have you tried Fastboot Commander or Android Flasher?

You should consider putting an echo (press any key to continue) above the "pause" instructions. When you run the script it just stops and you do not understand why and how to continue . . .

it is a clean fresh HBOOT, (no "revolutionary" or "alpharex" at the top of the bootloader screen)

it also gives you extra options and the ability to flash other HBOOTS

worked great on my revolutionary s-offed device. i had to push the .img file via adb though

@Ben

I have just flashed this ENG HBOOT and my bootloader screen is just showing

HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)

no stars like you have....

also on a side note. i have noticed that with this ENG HBOOT it gives you the extra option to view system info. And from within that you can clearly see what eMMc chip you have! it either says "samsung" or "sandisk"

mine is Sandisk;)
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
So, i just flash PG88IMG.zip or use the other one?
[HTC Desire S] Sib64:
If you're perm root and S-off you just flash PM88IMG.zip
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you're considering applying this ENG HBOOT then check out the later one (although do consider this to be a dangerous activity - so read all threads and understand what your doing and what the implications are first) 2.xx.xxxx as it permits you to run both OLD and NEW ROMS and ultimately future proofs your device...

See my signature for details and versions...
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
So, flash this one first then flash the newer one?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
That would probably be the most sensible method, I'd say upgrade to this one, live with it for a few days. While you read the threads on the new one and decide if you want to move up again.

There's also the new leaked Radio, which is getting good reviews....I've used it two days now, with zero complaints, seems good if not better than my previous.

Although one change at a time...there's no hurry! :D
[HTC Desire S] zyotty:
I have flashed the new radio yesterday and i haven't experienced any trouble.:)
