Can I flash stock ROM with S-ON, rooted (installed CMW) and HTCDev unlocked?

Hello,

My phone is rooted and I want to back to stock condition because after rooting there is so much issue about charging, USB plug, wifi tether stop working etc :(

My phone condition is S-ON, HTCDev unlocked and rooted and install CWM using guide from here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553

--

Then I follow guide from here to do SuperCID -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

But I am stuck on writing SuperCID because the cmd looking for a .CRD file that maybe required to do writing SuperCID.

Anyway, can I just download the stock ROM and flash directly to the phone with HTCDev unlocked and S-ON and rooted with CMW installed?

Thanks!

Sorry for my bad english :)

to flash Stock RUU you need :

install htc sync on your PC , you may need to connect to PC in sync mode

usb debugging enabled in setting \ application \ development

fast boot box unchecked in Setting \ power

bootloader must be locked again " fastboot oem lock " before flashing RUU.exe

disable firewall and antivirus software and any software that uses usb

start RUU.exe as admin

if you face problems then try the following :

do a factory reset then execute the following commands in fastboot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

And then flash the RUU.exe as admin

you can also read this thread [GUIDE]RUU related info (S-On with RUU, extracting rom.zip & other flashing methods)
[HTC Sensation] mokalovesoulmate:
Hi,

I tried your method but apparently I still need to do the S-OFF so I do the JumpBear S-OFF method to be able to write the CID.

Now my phone is back to the stock ROM GB and install to the S-ON back.

--

Just one more, I need to upgrade my phone to official ICS 4.0.3, I checked software update via OTA but there is no system update upgrade to ICS -- what should I do to upgrade to the official ICS?

Because I search through the shipped ROMs they all are only for GB...none of them are ICS...

And it is safe to upgrade to ICS with S-ON and HBOOT 1.18?

Because I am not sure...after reading I found S-OFF is required to upgrade to ICS but since I buy my phone, it already come with ICS (S-ON+HBOOT 1.27) so I am not sure if my phone originally was S-OFF or S-ON when the phone upgraded to ICS...

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] mokalovesoulmate:
Oh, yeah, greets! :D

Yes this is correct.

Yep, I am in S-ON.

Oh, well...this is the main reason I want to switch to stock ROM.

My current installed ROM is from there, too. The current installed is RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed.exe. And it is Gingerbread version.

I was thinking I will switch back to S-OFF.

If the OTA update is not available for my region then from where the phone got the ICS since I bought the phone it has ICS already :confused:

I see this is interesting; I just checked the ARHD thread and the ROM just looks interesting; I see that is 1.5Ghz maybe I will restore to 1.2

Yes of course! I will trying S-OFF and flash the stock ROm first. Thanks for your guide; I am currently downloading the ROM and will report the progress as soon as I am done flashing :D

Thanks again trkaaa!
[HTC Sensation] mokalovesoulmate:
Yep, finally the stock ICS version 3.32 installed :D

I do my installation basic on your instruction:

1) Install revolutionary to do S-OFF

2) Install proper firmware (I download for 3.32 ROM)

3) Stuck on bootloop (it shows HBOOT 1.27.1111)

4) Install CWM

5) Installing ROM but failed error status 1 :confused:

6) Downgrade firmware to 1.70 (it shows HBOOT 1.17.1100)

7) Upgrading firmware back to 3.32 (now it shows HBOOT 1.27.1100)

8) Installing stock ICS 3.32 ROM with success :D

Anyway, the charging issue still exist...I mean, since the Sensation turned off itself because battery's out, the power LED is blinking when I plug to wall charger...I installed the CWM version 5.

For temporary solution I might unplug the charger first and do power on and replug the wall charger.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
for ICS always install three items together before first boot

install firmware from here only User Friendly Firmware Upgrade :

firmware 1.17 should show hboot 1.17.1111 ( not 1.17.1100 )

firmware 3.32 should show hboot 1.27.1100 ( not 1.27.1111 , this is maybe Juapbear hboot )

for recovery :

when needed for custom Roms , install 4EXT Recovery instead of CWM , it is build on CWM core but it is better and needed for ICS

CWM v5.8 have usb bugs , don't use it

as for charging issue , maybe your charger is not working probably ( try connect to PC and see if it is charging ) or there is a hardware issue in the phone i guess
[HTC Sensation] mokalovesoulmate:
Yep I do firmware upgrade/downgrade from there :)

Confirmed, I am running HBOOT 1.12.1100 now :)

Okay will trying install 4ext soon.

I plug to the PC and it is charging. I am not sure about hardware issue but...I will investigate later.

Thanks! :D
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
never heard of

HBOOT 1.12.1100 ?????????????????????????

is your device Sensation / 4G /XE or it is an other device ,

or it is an other device or it is a different device " Sensation XL "

this is the second time to Post a strange hboot version !!!!!!!

as long as your device is charging from PC , then your AC charger is the Problem , change it or try another one to make sure
[HTC Sensation] mokalovesoulmate:
Oh sorry man, looks like I was a little bit > :confused: when replied to your post, keyboard button 1.27 and 1.12 is far away haha, sorry, I am actually running 1.27.1100. :D

Will find another one...:D

guys i done the s on and no my phone aint rebooting into anything i cant even start it up
[HTC Sensation] zozo10k:
I would like to revert my Sensation to full stock using your guide, but i'm on ViperS 1.0.1. rom. Rom is based on HTC Ville C2 latest RUU (1.11.401.110).

Do I first have to flash 3.32 fw, then flash some ics rom, after that write original CID (in my case HTC_032) and use apropriate RUU?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Assuming I set my CID to superCID and flash an unbranded stock ROM, is it possible to get OTA updates with superCID set?

Or should I set it (after flashing) to a normal value e.g. HTC__001 (appropriate to the flashed ROM)

EDIT:

With superCID I only get this small update ...

I noticed if I flash RUU (stock HTC) with set superCID later during setup I can select all languages at all locations. After finishing I set the CID back to e.g. HTC__001. I did an OTA update and all the languages an locations, which were available with superCID were gone :D

So you don´t have to set superCID for flashing RUU to be able to choose all languages, if you want to change the CID after it to install OTA updates. ;)

I tried both steps in step 7 but i cant get passed the dos windows waiting for device

Any1 got an idea what im doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance for the help

S-ON

You may want to put your phone back to S-ON after following the rest of this guide, for example if you have reflashed your original rom and want to return it for warranty repair. Thanks to ikhzter thread, we have a way to do this!

1. Open Command Prompt, either Run "cmd" or go to Start, Accesories, Command Prompt

2. Enter the command: "cd C:\platform-tools" (Or whatever location you copied the folder to earlier)

3. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings > applications > development)

4. Enter the command "adb devices". It should come back with list of devices attached and then your serial number.

5. Enter the command "adb reboot bootloader". (You device will restart and boot into fastboot USB)

6. Enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3". (Thanks Dazweeja)

7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.

8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.

9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal

You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.

10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**

Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot

11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one you downloaded earlier) and then reboot. It should work now

@martyzzz,

At step 4 do you see your device?
[HTC Sensation] fprado06:
SIR.... thanks for the thread...

but mine was error...

i tried to change my CID to flash any stock rom...

i follow your guide...

i choose the 11111111 method...

but its seen this...

writecid 11111111

...INFO[ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.006s]

finished. total time: 0.006s

what should i do now...

any help plzzz.
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
As seen from the output, you used an incorrent command.

Regarding this thread (step 4.3) the correct command would be "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (with no "") ;)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
Hi,

I was gifted the Sony Ericsson Arc as a replacement for my current phone the HTC Desire. After using the HTC Desire for the last 1 year , I am finding it very difficult to get used to the Sony Ericsson UI (problems like : no smart dialer, the contacts are all messed up,all the text size is huge, the randomly flickering display etc..).

I was wondering whether there is anyone or any place I can pay money to create a custom ROM. When I say custom ROM I dont mean Cyanogen or others like that (I mean the stock ROM with the proper replacements for dialer,contacts editor, facebook integration etc..) , I just want a ROM on my phone which will look and feel like the HTC Sense UI (again I am not asking for the actual Sense UI, as I understand thats impossible).

Thanks.

Any help is appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You understand the HTC apps require the sence framework, so they will not work on the arc, there are many other dialer and contacts replacements, you can download from the market, Go dialer and contacts for example is excellent :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
The makers of TouchPal Keyboard have a smart dialer app called TouchPal Dialer. Haven't tried it out but it's available for free on the market.

The android 2.3.3 update brought Facebook integration to the xperia range.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
How does relate to my post?

Thanks for the reply, but I don't know how this relates to this my post.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
Thanks!!

Thanks for the info.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Sorry, I should have explained. You wanted a custom ROM basically a stock ROM but a replacement for the dialer, right? I was just pointing out an app using which you could replace the stock dialer (and which supported smart dialing).

Facebook integration was another aspect you mentioned.

xboxfanj posted a thread by which you could the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen using Agile Lock. You can find it here.

EDIT: Sorry, I misread your post. I thought you wanted a stock arc ROM with the necessary changes; not the HTC ROM. Ooops! :o

But hey, I got the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen part right. LOL! :p

Blagus is working on a HTC Sense port for Xperia Play http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174309 once he starts the work it maybe matter of time once we get it for Arc since both are almost similar. If your talking about hiring someone then talk to one of the developers who are willing to accept the offer.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
Now this reply really helped. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
Well that's kind of the problem, I don't know which developer to ask. I can't do a post in the Sony Arc Development sub forum, cause the rules say I can't post Q&A queries in the forums. Is there any one I can ask or PM to find out how to build this custom ROM ??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallimo:
As anyone else can tell you, a custom rom for the arc maybe a while before all the functions are workable, the camera is the problem, so maybe do as others have suggested and use third party apps to get the experience your after
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
The main problem with custom ROM is going to be Camera function because Arc has the latest Camera technology they haven't released the drivers or source for it so developers can make it work on custom ROM. So we have to wait until someone manage to port one so others can use it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenken:
Thanks for the reply.

However I have explained in my first post that the kind of custom ROM I am asking is based on the stock ROM with appropriate replacements for the dailer,contacts,facebook integration,text size etc... Basically I want to simulate a Sense UI.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Perhaps a theme could you help you out for the time being till someone makes a custom ROM for you? At least you should be able to get similar icons, background wallpaper etc.

•Then examine the files carefully, and delete the *.fota, and (mid).rc1 file•Now if you are flashing bada 2.0 open multiloader 5.65 if not any other version is okay

•Okay now after opening it tick the "Boot change" and the "Full Download"

Above i marked in red can u plz explain...

1. why to delete those files

2.many site says dont tick Boot change

Thanks in adavance..
[Bada Software and Hacking General] abd28xd:
sorry do not delete the *.rc1 file but yes fota can be deleted .... the reason is that deleting is not necessary , but you still dont be needing it anyway! because its of no use!

no boot change has to ticked strictly , because bada 2.0 and bada 1.x have different bootfiles so boot change is necessary!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] deepsas:
no boot change has to ticked strictly , because bada 2.0 and bada 1.x have different bootfiles so boot change is necessary!

FYI, i flashed successfully to bada 2.0 without ticking boot change and also it is running from last 4-5 days without any issue..(As usual msg bug and known bugs in bada 2.0 are there)...

:cool:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] pao9195:
yeah no need to tick boot change if you ticked already the full download, coz once we ticked the full download, boot change tab is grayish w/c means deactivated.

Hey guys,

I have been looking for an accurate battery app that shows battery drain for every % level. I have tried many different apps that claim to show each % drop, but these apps tend to show every 10% drop, not every 1% drop. Unless I'm doing something wrong, does anyone know of an app that will actually show each % drop? I am trying to monitor my battery drain, now that I am on GB, and an app like this would help a lot. Apologies if this has been brought up in an older thread.

Hi all,

I am a total noob here and i will sincerely hope that you all give me some advice.

I decided to flash ClockworkMod v08 on my gtablet.

However during the flashing process, i think i screwed up somewhere.

I press the power button and +volume until i reached the unloading package symbol. Then i reached a sort of recovery screen with the bottom left saying installing updates.

I waited very long and being impatient i press the restart gtab on the recovery.

When i thought i had successfully installed ClockworkMod v08, I press power button and +volume button and i see the recovery button press and booting recovery kernel image on the 3 birds splash. It loaded for a long time.

I then press the power button and i on the power without the pressing the power and +volume button. I was able to get into the my usual stock gtablet and everythings works fine.

I then reset the gtablet to factory setting on the setting and when i reboot, i was stuck on the 3 birds splash saying booting kernel recovery image. Even when i press the power and +volume button i cannot boot into recovery.

I tried using NVflash but to no avail, my gtablet cannot go into apx and i cannot access my tab.

After i realised i pressed the wrong button (power + +vol buttons) instead of (power + -vol buttons), NVflash works for me.

However after doing the NVflash, my gtab cannot reboot as in i will need to reboot the gtab with NVflash.

I went to research on xda website and found similar problems.

I managed to solve this issue and will be willing to help out anyone who has this problem (gtab unable to reboot after NVflashing). Just PM me if needed.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djab67:
VinMee,

I messed up the G tablet big time by flashing a ROM with a different bootloader. I spent many many hours researching posted solutions and trying them out. Towards the end of the process I too could only boot using nvflash. Almost decided to just live with it, but ended up getting that fixed too.

In an attempt to help others I posted the guide referenced previously to detail the restoration steps I used. As mentioned above, I do not need nvflash for booting anymore. When I completed the steps in the guide the limitation was fixed. However, I do not know the "hows" and "whys" behind the fix. For example which step or steps fixed it? Why does the problem occur? Is there a quicker solution if that is my only problem left?

I encourage you to post the fix that worked for you right in this post and include links and/or references to any other posts that helped. Making the information public and readily available is of greater value to someone trying to fix a problem than asking them to PM you and wait for a response. No matter how quickly you respond, it is not as quick as just having the information in the thread. A person could then PM you if they needed additional guidance.

Thanks,
