[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I didn't know that you have already applied the OTA :)

Since you have the 0.98.2000 hboot download this RUU (which is for Asia-India and I suppose that is your version) and run it on your PC with USB connected phone. This should give you the previous version and complete Stock/S-ON. Then check for OTA update from the settings.

If the RUU says that your current version is higher and cannot proceed, you should have to flash a custom recovery (download and extract this zip file) flash extracted recovery.img from fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery {path to file}/recovery.img

, reboot to recovery, get root access through adb shell and use the misc_version from this thread (point 1) to change your version to 1.47.720.1. Then the RUU will work.

If you have troubles post back I will describe step by step what to do.

And remember - do not pull the battery in any case!
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
It worked!

The software version was already 1.47.720.1

Everything went perfect and smooth. You rock mate!

Applied OTA, and now i'm back on stock 2.3.5.

I realized HBOOT 2.00.0002 is not supported by Revolutionary for S-OFF and Rooting. Any other way? or if i want to have root I need to flash back to 2.3.3 stock revolutionary root and then install available pre-rooted stock rom?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Nice to know that you managed.

If you need root you can unlock your new 2.00.0002 hboot on htcdev.com I think there is a guide in the forum, search for it.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The guide you need is here, post #36
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
You rock bro! I need to sleep now. Will try the method tomorrow.

i'm not getting over the air update for my desire hd!

daily i used to check for the update but my phone says the phone software is up to date!..is there sumthin that i can do to get the ota????

:-( :-(

pls help me!!!

i've been tryin to get from the moment i heard there is an update!

pls reply asap!!!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Hey please relax :)

HTC is pushing the update to a limited number of devices daily to avoid overloading of their server. Keep checking and you will receive it it the next couple of days.

The other possibility is that you version is older. Check it from your phone settings, if it is different that 1.47.720.1 you should use the RUU linked in post #4 and then you will receive the OTA. Keep in mind that the RUU will delete your data so make a Google backup.

Also if you phone is S-OFFed with Revolutionary you will have to change the hboot (see posts above).

Good luck
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
Can it be carrier based?

Just try inserting someones Airtel SIM and check for an OTA Update!. You never know, it may work
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
:(

Hey Un Lock via HTC Site worked. I can see Unlocked in Bootloader.

On trying to Flash using AndroidFlasher nothing happens!

I downloaded all those given in links. Started flashing utility. It gave the following message

< waiting for device >

security: on

finished. total time: -0.000s

sending 'recovery' (4336 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.822s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.836s]

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.746s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.001s]

finished. total time: 0.747s

and phone got stuck at HTC White Screen with Green Logo for 20 minutes. Then i removed battery and restart Phone. Checked its still S-ON + Not Rooted. Phone is working as well.

Repeated second time. almost same message. Again stuck at white screen. still S-ON.

I have posted this on original thread as well. Hoping for a quick reply
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Have you formatted the SD card before doing this?

Read the whole thread there were other users with the same problem and I think you will find the solution ;)
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
Hi

I did formatted my card. btw Method pops-up an error message on windows : "Device is S-ON" if i run from windows (ir reboots in bootloader).

It shows no error if i boot into bootloader before starting the flashing utility.

Nevertheless No result. Device is still S-ON. and When i try to go to recovery, Phone gets stuck at white screen. Does that mean it has flashed recovery and the recovery is not supported kinda (maybe old). Maybe thats why It was going to white screen after flash and going again if i manually choose recovery from bootloader.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The device will remain S-ON. With HTC unlock you are able to flash recovery, kernel and even custom ROM. S-ON means that you cannot flash hboot and radio, but I do not think that you will need this in the near future (your hboot and radio are now the latest after the OTA)

Maybe you are on the right direction thinking that the recovery may be incompatible. So try this one - it is for Desire S. Extract the image and flash with Android Flasher
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
That did not work as well! Same getting stuck at white screen.

Then I gave a shot to CWM Recovery http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager Took the desire s one an VOILA!!! It worked in a second. Weird!

Anyways its S-ON + Rooted now.

1 quick (probably last), If i can do almost everything from Custom ROM etc, means I can now install TITANIUM Backup and get all my previous apps from backup right? No issues at all

I'd only need S-OFF to change HBOOT + Radio (I dont care). If i need to in future, I hope thats easy as well, right?

Your signature terrifies me about Sudden Death for Devices which were never S-OFFed! >.<
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Now you can use everything that requires root without a problem. Just remember if you want to install a Custom ROM you should flash the kernel separately.

About changing HBOOT and RADIO there is a downgrade guide here that can give you S-OFF back when you need it in future.

And about my signature - the most Desire S are dying when pulling out the battery, so keep that in mind and you will be fine.

HTC desire s OTA update india

I am using htc desire s in india. It is device from UK. I have not recd update of 2.3.5 yet. Contacted HTC india and htc UK but not got any satisfactory answer from them . Pls help for receiving the update. How can i do so? Is there any link for official RUU for android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0? Plssssssssssss...help
[HTC Desire S] FuzzyBlacken:
There are official RUU for both Asia / UK. Check the posts above. He included a link for RUU India. I can suggest to flash your device with that. All the Best!

Test
[HTC Desire S] sandy8925:
had S-OFF, no root and stock ROM - applied OTA update to 2.3.5 - borked

The title should explain briefly.

I bought my HTC Desire S from Singapore through Starhub (so the Asia model I guess).

Had applied S-OFF using revolutionary a few months ago. (was in version 1.48.707.1). Got OTA update notification yesterday, and said OK for updating. Unfortunately, after rebooting a couple of times got stuck on HTC screen for about 20 mins.

Tried many things and erased my system partition (pretty stupid idea, I know).

I was able to flash ENG hboot and it came back to normal hboot but was S-OFF.

Ran an RUU for HTC Asia (not the India one) from this page: (6th in the list)

Uploaded radio and bootloader fine but then gave bootloader error. Restarted phone and it shows normal hboot (0.98.0002) and S-ON. Ran RUU again and it still doesn't work. Keeps showing error 140 (bootloader error). I'm pretty sure it's the correct one.

It shows the current version as 2.15 something (most probably the 2.3.5 update version). I'm guessing it doesn't work since it has to downgrade. using fastboot, tried flashing recovery image that you suggested in this thread, but it fails to do so. Is it because it's now S-ON? Do I have to make it S-OFF again and then try flashing the recovery thing? Or should I try with the recovery image from the original RUU?

Thanks for reading and helping :)
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
You cannot flash anything with your current state. Only RUU should work. Try Zergrush exploit to gain root and change the misc_version. Then run the RUU again.

Ok, so I am on my second rezound. I returned the first one because it was boot looping. Now this one seems to mark the time incorrectly. Every time I just leave it there for a while it rolls back one hour. Like if its 6 it will say it's 5. Is this a network issue or is it the phone?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Schmidty850:
Hey guys I just wanted to ask and see if any of you guys had a fix for this problem. I flashed MIUI and I really really liked it, except that I did not have any sound on it.

Before you yell at me for "not looking in the forums", I will tell you that I have. I looked in the forums and I saw a thread that had a supposed audio fix for Desire HD ROMS on the Inspire. I flashed this though, and when I rebooted my phone it wouldn't go past the splash screen so I had to restore back to my stock ROM.

PLEASE HELP because I would really like to put MIUI on my Inspire.

Thanks

[HTC Inspire 4G] nooomoto:
You need to flash Lord's 8.2 kernel...and yes it is in the forums because thats how I know. I used one of the MIUI builds from the Desire HD forum. There are several builds there and don't remember exactly which one I used, head over there and do some snooping. You'll find it.

I've found that TalonACE MIUI also works (Kernel-wise). Flash the latest TalonAce MIUI kernel, and your set.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Schmidty850:
Gonna try flashing Lordsmod, saw that on their page they say that it works well with MIUI.

BTW though could someone please explain to me what the difference between LordMod and TalonAce is and what does flashing a different Kernel do for me?

Then I would like to know that if I end up not liking MIUI with LordKernel could I restore my phone back to the way it was before without LordKernel using ROM Manager or would the Kernel stay and just the ROM change?

What are the best non-motorola androids?

All motorola phones have call recording capabilities specifically crippled in their libaudio.so file.

I currently have an atrix and I don't have the knowledge of android OS to fix the libaudio.so myself.

Please FFS do not post anything about the legalities of phone recording in this thread. They are easily found by searching and not the topic of this thread.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolosus:
As someone pointed out earlier in the thread... call recording works fine in Miui roms.

Since you're looking for a software solution that would be the best way to go. Install Miui rom on your phone. If there is a Miui rom for your phone. I've recorded my calls multiple times and not for other folks for listening to it at a later time. A client calls me, I'm out in the field, we talk about specifics of the case, I record the call in progress and when I get back to the office I take notes. It does not work using bluetooth... or more specifically the client's voice can be heard but not mine.

Is there a 3rd party app that gives you the same functionality? I'm not sure. Haven't looked since Miui is my rom of choice and it does the job natively.

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is because it is illegal in alot of states unless you tell them you are recording them. If you don't they could sue you and have you put up on federal charges. The carriers are not gonna risk that.

If you want it then use an AOSP based rom that supports it. You could use MIUI but I wouldn't suggest it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pernicus:
YOU WILL NOT BE BROUGHT UP ON FEDERAL CHARGES. You obviously don't know the laws and this is not the topic of the thread anyway. If you can't read then don't post, I specifically stated not to bring this off topic drivel into this thread.

Just in the spirit of the holiday here is the law

I never said you would, just that you can be. And just so you know. Every Android phone I have had has had the same issue. Only a few have been able to get it to work on AOSP roms as they dont use the stock files.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pernicus:
As I explain in PM, You CAN NOT be brought up on FEDERAL charges for recording your own phone calls. Federal law only requires one party consent, YOU are that party.

In the states mentioned in that link you can be brought up on STATE charges for violating the state laws.

However, all of this is off topic, I clearly stated in the first post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Your right this has gone way off topic. Topic is about the call recording software which is prevented on said phones.

You have answered. Of you want tgat ability you have to use a custom rom with it built into the kernel.

After this, no more access to the extSD by the Windows PC but only with Ubuntu, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribh:
Since it's generic Linux kernel and busybox functionality it should work on any 'droid. The SDcard device name might be different than in the above example - you will see the correct device and partition names after you insert SDcard and run `dmesg | tail` on the tablet or phone.

(of course your device must be rooted and have busybox...)

Typically Windows is engineered not to recognise anything that does not come from Microsoft, so you will not be able to mount the Linux partition via Windows.
