It's driving me insane, it has to have some sort of function. I've already looked through the 482 page verizon manual on that damn phone and found nothing about it. I'll figure it out though lol, I won't be able to sleep now until I do.

EDIT: I THINK I MAY HAVE IT! LET ME DO SOME MORE READING.

GOT IT!!!

According to this post, it is for "online albums." I'm guessing probably for things like Flikr or Picasa. Your contacts online pictures will show up there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_maxx:
Just got the Next8P. What is needed to get Root ? Is there a custom rom which has the Android market?
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Anyone having this issue. Just started recently. Not sure exactly when but now when I go to netflix or listen to my music using the speaker on the phone I get a nice lovely crackling sound from the audio. Should I just go exchange it for a new one (No I cannot afford an SGSII for those of you who are going to suggest doing that) at Best Buy considering I am still within the 30 days? Actually talked to motorola about one of my issues and they want me to send this thing to them BUT I have to pay some one time fee of $5.50 to send it in and I don't get the money back ever. I mean really why am I paying to send a defective device back when I can just as easily go to Best Buy and pay Nothing when it is Motorola that are the ones who want Me to send it to them so they can see the issue. Seems a little backward to me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mandroid717:
happened to me on my atrix. they exchanged it no questions asked.

take it back to bestbuy. show them the issue.

build quality of motorola surpasses anything. to many glitchez with SGII
[Motorola Atrix 2] treehumper:
Best Buy can replace it and default the old phone back to the manufacturer.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Thank you for the replies.
[Motorola Atrix 2] planoman:
I was getting this on netflix with the speaker. I then put on two types of headphones and still heard it. I think it is the netflix app? I did not get it with music, pandora or videos that I shoot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I haven't had this problem, the speaker is pretty loud and so far has been clear.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
Now that you mention it, it does seem to be strictly Netflix that is causing the issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cuhrazy:
Its a Netflix problem.

Hello

How to enable S-OFF on android 2.3.5 with HBOOT 2.00.0002 ?

I'm unlock only bootloader: htcdev.com/bootloader but HBOOT is still S-ON

Kamil
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
no method as of now, lets just wait (and wish) revolutionary will support the new hboot to s-off
[HTC Desire S] pattrick1803:
how do you unlock your bootloader on htcdev.com/bootloader

because the htc desire s isn't listed at the list with the supported devices?
[HTC Desire S] Kamil1987:
Not supported on smartphones list but unlock working :)
[HTC Desire S] pattrick1803:
really? :) after the unlock ist your phone *unlocked* but security is still on and you can't change radio or simlock, right? does it works with the new hboot from the ota update with sense 3.0?
[HTC Desire S] Kamil1987:
@Skanob

How you install PreRooted_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.4_deodexed-signed

and 4EXT Recovery with HBOOT 2.00.0002 and without root S-OFF ?
[HTC Desire S] pattrick1803:
@kamil

he can install it after he unlocked his phone with the tool from htcdev

your phone is unlocked and security s-on, but he has gut lifted restirctions on boot, recovery and system. so he can flash an new rom, but not a new radio because the radio ist still lock ;)

I never changed my radio and simlock :) Unlock working on 2.00.0002 HBOOT. How I do install a new ROM ? :)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Patrick is right. HTCdev site doesen't s-off your phone, but it removes the lock so you can flash recovery and roms, but not radios ans sim unlock. Find the clockworkmod image file for desire s, and flash using PG88IMG method in bootloader. I'm not 100% sure, but seems like the only method.
[HTC Desire S] pattrick1803:
@kamil:

you have to flash a new rom with recovery, like the clockworkmod.

how do you get the clockworkmod?

you need root (for example gingerbreak)

then you have to install the rom manager from the market

and then you have to install clockworkmod with the rom manager

After unlocking with HTC tool is possible return to stock rom, locked and without custom recovery? Maybe flashing original 2.10 RUU?

is it possible to root my mobile after that method?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Once you have CWM or 4ext recovery, just download and flash superuser. Easily find it via a google search.
[HTC Desire S] Mpa4Hu:
but how I install them to root my mobile if it requires rooted phone O.o
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
The only way for you to get S-OFF again is to downgrade first.

Check my guide:

[GUIDE] Official HBOOT 2.00.0002 downgrade (My success story)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Obviously you do not like to read: the list is UNSUPPORTED devices

and all the listed devices below are in GREEN
[HTC Desire S] pattrick1803:
@skanob: i don't understand you

the htc desire s isn't in the list and isn't green, so it's theoretically not supported!?
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
you really didn't understand.. It clearly is stated on htcdev that phones released PRIOR to September 2011 will be supported.

Based on gsmarena that our phones are released on March 2011. That means it is released PRIOR/BEFORE September, right?

Well, yes, it is STILL not in the list. Never the less, it works. It maybe is just that they haven't updated the phone list yet. Or maybe they didn't know that works on our phones.

I haven't confirmed about this, but it may ONLY work for the new HBOOT 2.00.0002.

Based on observation, that version ONLY has the visible "***LOCKED***" display on hboot. So, means it is unlockable. But the two versions before/prior that doesn't have that.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey guys you are really funny :) The list is of UNSUPPORTED devices, ALL THE REST are supported, Desire S included
[HTC Desire S] Archer74:
Just wanted to unlock with the HTC Dev SDK however the fastboot.exe file needed is not included in the ZIP file or the installer (r14)

Edit:

Forget it. Found the file for download on the web. Worked. Thx
[HTC Desire S] kwisatz79:
You are wrong, it is written "unlockable", wich means you are able to unlock them. Nevertheless alot of people report, that its possible to unlock the DS anyway using the page.

Btw, is there any advantage to unlock the bootloader, when u got the ENG S-OFF hboot 2.00.2002?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Maybe there's someone willing to clarify things a little bit since I feel confused after reading some topics here.

I expect to receive next monday a Desire S. As it's new, I also expect to have it delivered with the latest HBOOT 2.00.0002 and S-ON (don't think I'm lucky enough to receive one with older HBOOT).

What I'd like to achieve is to flash CM 7.1 stable (or the nightlies) and perhaps a different kernel. I got used with and "dependant" on this ROM from my actual Legend. I saw the procedures for rooting, making it S-Off and so on, differs from Legend so I've start reading.

I understand from one post in this topic that:

I figured out the folowind steps (correct me if I'm wrong):

1. Unlock bootloader with the HTC bootloader unlock from HERE

2. ROOT using gingerbreak like described HERE

3. Install ROM Manager

4. Install CWM Recovery from ROM Manager

5. Flash the ROM of my choice (CM or something else)

Some questions though:

1. At step 2 above, when I should root, on that topic is clearly stated that gingerbreak does not work on S-ON devices....so, am I missing something? How to root if I'm S-ON?

2. I don't really care about what HBOOT I have (don't know the real advantages/disadvantages anyways). What I would like is to have a CM ROM on my Desire and eventually to be able to flash another kernel. I've read a topic made by Skanob with the following:

Does this mean that instead of trying to gain root with gingerbreak (that is theoretically not working anyways since I'm S-ON) and install CWM Recovery, I should be able to instal 4EXT Recovery instead this way? I consider that I fall in this cathegory: "unlocked 2.xx.xx hboot s-on"

Thank you in advance and sory for my long post. I just wanted to put all things toghether since they're related instead to ask a question here, anotherone there and so on
[HTC Desire S] hekermeker:
I think it won't work your way.

The 1 step unlocks the bootloader but does not give you s-off.

The 2 step is not working because you don't have s-off

The 3 step is ok, but you can install 4ext recovery also, pushing in fastboot

The 4 step ok

The 5 step is not working because the 2.00.0002 bootloader has many differences compared to 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002, also is not s-off, also the runnymede based dev. roms have different kernels, hboot, etc.

I think the only method for now is the downgrade, but using Skanob method you can't, or you can if you're lucky...

Sorry Skanob but I think the your "downgrade method post" will be more useful if you describe exactly what did you do, giving us at least some links with all the files.

I know "we can search" but if you search let's say after "misc_version file" you will find at least 3 types...if you follow the steps you will have error messages because these steps aren't described exactly, in my opinion many of us (noobs) need more....
[HTC Desire S] Mpa4Hu:
I think I downloaded everything with sdk manager, but still can't find fastboot

win7 64
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
This is your easiest way to achieving what you wanted, this assumes that you will be having the latest HBOOT:

1. Once you receive your phone, boot to bootloader:

a. make sure phone is off

b. press and hold volume rocker down then press power once and let go.

c. Check the display indicated in color purpler/violet. It will state if its unlocked or locked.

d. Use volume rocker to choose and power button to select, go to fastboot then reboot or power down (turn off).

2. If HBOOT is "LOCKED", go to htcdev.com/bootloader to unlock it first, follow every step.

3. Check this guide on how to flash a new recovery:

[GUIDE] Possible FIX for the infamous eMMC problem..

4. Once you have a new recovery, you just need to download the ROM you want to use (e.i. CM) and flash accordingly.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 PM ----------

Check the guide again. This is the simplest that I can make of the guide.
[HTC Desire S] hotpointdave:
Guys i followed these guides... only to find i had s-on still after unlocking bootloader from HTCDEV but could not root install a recovery fornthis very reason of s-0n

here is how i manges to work round it and all good for me.

1 i downloaded the new android fash tool in android development section.

2 i downloaded a clockmod recovery .img for my desire s phone.

3 i installed the android flash tool which i found to be user friendly and then i loaded the recovery .img in in which the android tool have drop down boxes (so easy)

4 i pressed the flash button after loading .img in the android flash tool...........and thats it i have a recovery image installed on my desire s with s-on.

NEXT STEP.....

i then rooted my phone this way

1 i downloaded from the su zipfile from the alpharevx/revu help page looks like this.......Does Revolutionary give me root?

No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.

2 i installed this file to my root of sdcard

3 as i have a recovery in fast boot now i select install zip from sd

4 install the file you loaded on your sd.... something like this...su-2.3.6.3efgh-singed

ALL DONE YOU HAVE CLOCKMOD RECOVERY AND ROOTED WITH S-ON WITH A UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FROM HTCDEV.

hope this all helps if not been coverd before but of course at your own risk.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
method not working

I easily unlocked my Desire S phone's bootloader, but could not install neither the clockwork recovery, nor the ext4recovery 9which is reported to be even better than the CWM). Could you please inform which version of the recovery you have used (in xda-developers forum the link for last version of CWM had been removed, as a kernel incompatibility issues had been reported, and the older versions of CWM do not work: phone reports "older version" problem).

I tried also using SuperOneClick which stuck on step 6 (unplugging the usb cord or temporary disabling debugging mode did not help, though advised as helpful in superoneclick threads).

So I still have an S-On deisre s with HBOOT-2.00.0002, unlocked bootloader, but cannot go further with rooting, while I tried nearly all available methods :(
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
No method that you describe in these fasts did not help me and Bootloader is still S-ON. Will need to wait for the new tool for Revolucionary HBOOT 2.00.0002.
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
You need to extract the recovery.img from either the CWM or EXT4 zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT mode using the command:

fastboot flash recovery [path to image file]\recovery.img

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

The methods describe in this thread do work and will allow you to flash a custom recovery and install custom rooted ROMs or root your existing ROM.

The HTCDEV unlock process will not physically set the HBOOT flag to S-OFF, so if you are going on that assumption that it doesn't work then you are mistaken.

After you perform the HTCDEV unlock process you can flash ClockworkMod and install su-3.0 for root access using the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
[HTC Desire S] hotpointdave:
Hi... The recovery i used is as follows... i went on the filecorp web page and then typed in the search bar ..PG88IMG..... download one and it had the recovery.img in the zip folder.......

if you are using the androidflasher tool you must load the recovery.img without it being zipped up in the folder.

Failing that... the clockmod img i used is v3.2.0.0.

just a pointer for you....... you wont root with any tool without you having a recovery .. you must flash a recovery first in order for you to install the su zip i explained early in my post. that su zip will root your phone... there is no other way apart from this... hope this helps

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

just to mention also you are not rooting because you have s-on, with a unlocked bootloader you can flash a recovery but not root.. you root after you flash a recovery because then you can install the su root zip though recovery...
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
Finally it worked

Thanks guys for your replies and additional details.

Actually I was able to finally install the 4EXT recovery through Android Flasher using the extracted recovery.img. By the way, it went through only after formatting the SD card. Prior to formatting the same procedure gave no results though I tried it multiple times.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
Written procedure should be how you did it succeed. Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
OK, so here's how I managed it

Fisrt of all I unlocked my bootloader through the easy and user friendly guide in http://htcdev.com/bootloader/. Desire S is not listed in unlockable phones list, but it perfectly worked. WORNING: after unlocking the bootloader the phone did a factory reset, so backup all your personal data prior to running the procedure.

And also I disabled the antivirus, which appeared to hinder several procedures.

Then I did the following:

1. Installed HTC drivers from this link.

2. Disabled Fast Boot, Enabled USB debugging

3. Formatted microSD card

4. Downloaded su file from this link and placed on my microSD card.

5. Downloaded AndroidFlasher from this link.

6. Downloaded 4EXT recovery file from this link, extracted recovery.img file to my PC.

7. In extracted AndroidFlasher folder run (as administrator) the exe file, chose the Desire S (or any other) phone, in the Recovery section browse for the recovery.img file (see the previous step) and sit back to relax :)

8. The 4EXTRecovery screen opened afterwards, and through navigating with volume up and down keys and choosing with power button go to "Instal from SD card" and choose the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file from the sd card.

After these steps I gained superuser access to my phone and was able to change the system fonts, for which I endeavored to gain such access.

My phone is Desire S,

Android version: 2.3.5

HTC Sense version: 3.0

Software number: 2.10.401.5

Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g9ac6c7a

Baseband version: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M

[HTC Desire S] luky4:
ovanitas What Android_SDK you used to unlock Bootloaderja? (android-sdk.r15-windows.zip)?

Thank you. My phone HTC Desire S.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
As I mentioned in my post I unlocked my phone's bootloader via http://htcdev.com/bootloader/. It's official HTC guide and tool.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
ovanitas Yeah, OK, just me interested in what you choose on this page

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
I did not use the Android SDK for gaining superuser access :)

But for various reasons I have downloaded "installer_r15-windows.exe (Recommended)"
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
ovanitas Please just tell me if it should be in the Android Flasherju bottom right (I'm already fastboot) is marked with a tick? Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
You check that just if you have already entered the bootloader, if not, leave it unchecked and the software will do the job for you :))

[HTC Desire S] luky4:
What do I install the CWM Recovery on HTC Desire S. ? Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
That's right. I guided with your method, just changed the CWM to 4EXT. Thanks indeed!!! :)
[HTC Desire S] utkas:
Just a question.

How long does it take for the recovery to be flashed???

sorry, please ignore it.
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
couple of minutes
[HTC Desire S] utkas:
I have done the following to my desire-s

1. Flashed the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 (couldn't do that with the 4EXTRecovery)

2. When to the recovery and installed the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file with no problems at all.

3. Flashed the MUI.us_saga.1.11.11. At this point trying to boot the device it stack at the white screen and the green HTC written in the middle and wouldn't boot.....

Have I forgot something to do, or is it problem with the ROM I wanted to installed????

And I noticed that when the device is at the BOOTLOADER and trying to find the PG88IMG it says the no image found (even though I have the PG88IMG.ZIP file into the root of the sd card......
[HTC Desire S] tpbklake:
Yes you have forgotten something. After you flash MIUI, you then need to extract the boot.img file from the MIUI zip file and flash that with the phone in FASTBOOT mode using the FASTBOOT command.

Also once you flash a PG88IMG.zip file in bootloader mode, you should erase it from the SD card. Otherwise, it will get flashed every time you go into bootloader mode.
[HTC Desire S] utkas:
Did what you said, but still the device is not booting... :(

thanks for the answer anyway.....
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
I have the same problem as you, Utkas.

How can this be fixed. It freezes with every rom now.

Thanks, this fixed my problem :)
[HTC Desire S] utkas:
Can you please explain to me as well what have you done and the problem was fixed??? I mean if it is possible step by step??? We are at recovery and flashed the new custom ROM. After that what?? ok, I have found the boot.img file from the MUI Rom. Where shall I copy that file and how I will flash it from FastBoot? I know might sound dump questions but I am not very familiar with all this...

Would much appreciated if you can guide how you fixed that problem and many thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
Once you have flashed your rom, choose the option to reboot into Bootloader.

(I understand you allready have the Android SDK installed? All the phone's drivers etc.?)

As you can see from the attached screenshot, I copied the boot.img to the main folder of Android SDK, just as a copy of the cmd.exe (search with windows search for cmd and just copy it to the Android SDK folder).

Connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable while you are in Fastboot! It should say "Fastboot USB" on your phone.

Now, open the cmd.exe from the Android SDK folder and type

It should say that your device is connected.

Type:

It should flash the boot.img from the rom you want to use in a matter of seconds. Reboot your device and youre done!
[HTC Desire S] utkas:
My many thanks for your patience to analyze for me all this. Everything went smoothly and now I can enjoy an MIUI Rom in my mobile.
[HTC Desire S] TimMun:
Youre welcome :)

Is MIUI 1.11.11 any good? ;)
[HTC Desire S] andrey.kozlenko:

[HTC Desire S] bora61:
I have received unlock code for my Desire S ( 2.3.5. Sense 3.0) using procedure decribed at htcdev. My questions:

- If I unlocked hboot, what is gain ?

- If I unlocked, is there any solution for my data ( contacts, programs..) remains ?
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
- after unlocking bootloader it is possible to install custom recovery, gain superuser rights, access system files (without having to S-OFF the phone).

- when I unlocked the bootloader, the phone underwent factory reset, so you'd better backup your contacts. Actually having the phone synced with gmail contacts ensures that nothing will be lost. The Android market also saves purchased programs and reinstalls back after the reset.
[HTC Desire S] yas87:
it will break my warranty with htc, right?
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Yes it says that on the site
[HTC Desire S] ovanitas:
I guess so. On the other hand you do not S-OFF your phone, so you do not access kernel or radio. So it's a matter of interpretation. You'd better check it with your local HTC service.
[HTC Desire S] jamiethemac:
Hi, I have a quick question:

I don't want to format my SD card, so instead can i take it out and replace it with another already formatted SD card then swap back once the process is complete, or do I have to keep the memory card in there when I perform the rooting in there for good? Many thanks :)
