I had HBoot 0.98.0002 and used Revolutionary to get S-off then loaded su file for root.

I now have...

SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.98.1002

RADIO-3805.04.02.01_M

eMMC-boot

I tried running Android Flasher to flash the EngHboot file but it is not doing anything.

It changes the phone to fastboot so I know it is communicating but after that the phone stays on the fastboot screen and Android Flasher stays on the "please wait while flashing your phone" screen. This has been unchanged for over an hour.

Can anyone advise what might be the problem ?

You can have a look here androidforums.com/desire-s-all-things-root/438830-guide-how-root-desire-s.html under section 2, it shows you other ways to flash the hboot.

Does anyone have a guide for returning to a stock ROM when you unlocked using htcdev.com? I tried (re)locking my device, but I can't get a RUU to install.

Edit: I unlocked and installed ClockworkMod after previously having upgraded to Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0.
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
I've converted my FileSystem to EXT4 (using 4EXT Recovery Control) !

Can I still follow this process ? or Do i need to convert the filesystems to EXT3 (if possible) ?

EDIT : Back to Stock ! :D

(Converted system to EXT3 using 4EXT Recovery Control, Restored an old backup of the Stock ROM, installed & Flashed CWM Recovery... Followed the Guide!)

I don't know where to start!

Hey guys,

My sister bought a Desire s second hand, but it seems to be locked to Vodafone Ireland ie. only accepts Vodafone sims (apart from a week or so when it would accept any sim.) Vodafone claims they have no lock on it and never did. After being in contact with HTC they claim the phone being S-OFF is the cause of the problem, and the only fix would be to send it off to them to get the original software back on it. It's not rooted (apps requiring super user privileges won't work) but whatever the guy before me did he messed it up somehow.

Since she purchased it late last year it has received on OTA update. It's currently running Android 2.3.5 and HTC Sense 3.0. I'm unsure what the sofware was before the update, but I'm told the lock screen has changed?

I'm not entirely sure how much of the OP is relevant to my case, and could really use some help.

[HTC Desire S] agentdangermouse:
I think there are major issues with these instructions for me anyway.

I am on the telstra network and i had the original telstra ruu. I followed the instructions all went well and i removed revolutionary but when i tried to run the ruu it said an error and that the rom version was incorrect.

I did not know what else to do.

Out of desperation i restored a clockwork mod i had before i originally rooted my phone and then i applied the original ruu.. THIS TIME IT WORKED.

Why is this so, obviously it now detected a correct version maybe HBOOT ? im not sure... but i would like an explanation why this would of worked.

Im very curious because if i never had the clockwork backup i would be STUFFED!

Cheers.

Restore and Keep CWM

Quick question. Would restoring the RUU also wipe the cwm recovery that came when i downloaded it from revolutionary? Because i would like to be able to update my phone with the RUU but still keep cwm recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
After u're done using the RUU, your phone will completely revert to Stock, as it was when u bought it (the android version depends on the RUU u use though) without any CWM , Root ,custom ROM , etc ...
[HTC Desire S] xPeterJx:
My issue is that I don't know which RUU to use because I bought my phone from a website and it then turned out to be a Taiwanese import. Any ideas? I thought I'd kept my stock backup somewhere but clearly not. Argh!
[HTC Desire S] usmanxhmed:
Well i was having same issue, i bought my phone from second hand market and it was rooted and i could not get OTA. I was unsure which RUU i need to flash as i didn't even know my Desire S belongs to which region. But you you know your phone is from Taiwan.

Anyways all i did was to match my software version, kernal, baseband and radio version from settings, software information with the same version on website, unbranded UK RUU. same software same versions, and after removing removing revolutionary i flashed with it and i could install the OTA as well.

Here are my related threads to this problem and tutorial as well.

[HTC Desire S] xPeterJx:
Yeah thank you but the reason I went custom in the first place was because of the language settings. The stock rom my phone came with was Taiwanese so the language was set at 'Taiwanese (English)' which would have been fine but then some things we're showing up in Taiwanese not English. I'm sticking to custom roms now. The one I have is by a guy called Lowveld and the support he provides for his rom is amazing and he wouldn't/doesn't release versions that would effect our phones adversely. Like someone has said I think you ought to reword your posts, sometimes some things are better left unsaid. :)

Thank you for your help though.

I installed CyanogenMod 7 for the HTC MT3GS stable on my wifes phone yet we can not get the phone to stop vibrating when we call out. It vibriates when you hit dial, then again upon connection and yet again if you move the phone away to use the dial pad. I have disabled everything I can find in relation to vibrate during calls. Anybody have any idea how to fix this? driving us nuts.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superatrain:
In Settings -> Call settings, there should be a few options for vibration. (Vibrate on answer, every 45 seconds, on hangup, call waiting, etc.)

You can also try disabling haptic feedback with Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Input -> Haptic feedback tweaks and disabling it. There is also Settings -> Cyanogenmod -> Sounds -> Vibrate during calls but that is only for notifications.

If all else fails, you can always try switching to a different dialer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licensedtoquill:
I have a T-Mob G2 and sipdroid installed on it. Using a VoIP provider in UK. I have a speedtest app installed which shows 5 mbps download speed 3 mbps upload

People report that they can hear me clear as a bell but I can hear almost nothing. I hear a half second of incoming sound followed by a second or two of silence, then another half second of sound, repeating about 10 times till all incoming sound stops completely.

VoIP provider says yes, some other users OF THEIRS have reported this problem and this is an inherent problem with Android and Android users cant use VoIP. They allude to some mysterious latency problem (which is identifyable on line except that users say it affects OUTGOING sound, not incoming so): I say baloney: There is something wrong with their server. Or can T-Mob recognise that I am trying to use VoIP and i suppose there is a remote chance they are blocking something to prevent me using any VoIP service other than their own (which uses their minutes!!). Cant imagine what they could do to stop me but i can sure imagine why they would want to try!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licensedtoquill:
Sorry about that, I just did a check on questions posted on VoIP and found all of them had been in this section headed 'question and answer'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] licensedtoquill:
Sorry I forgot to update this posting for the benefit of others who do a search and find it.

There are only two or three settings which need to be changed from default with most VoIP services, - the sip server, userID and password.

The problem is device and software specific. Unless you have got something obvious VERY wrong indeed, if you have apparently insuperable problems with anything on VoIP, change software. My provider says users have success with lots of different softwares which dont work on my G2 (or my BA or Wizard or 8525 or Wing). They said that most users have success with 3CXPhone which didnt work for me at all.

Immediately I changed to various other ones, the problem completely disappeared. Sometimes new problems arose (they specifically recommend SipDroid with similar lousy results) until I settled on CSipSimple. Since I started using it, I have had no problems at all and it even worked when I switched to a Galaxy S111.

Dont worry too much about the packages which supposedly have all settings pre-installed for your specific provider! Just keep switching apps until you find one which works.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this. Apparently it's been an issue since 3.2.

If someone could post the stock browser apk for 3.1, I want to see if its got anything to do with the browser itself.

Ive read elsewhere too that the jig only works with the 2.3.4 bootloader and below. Im from 2.3.6. Can any kind hearted soul give me a link on how to do so? Download links would be sufficient though.

To root my 'glorious' SGS2, i used the methods posted at:

www.galaxys2root.com

Which I should have nandroid a back up of my system BEFORE i rooted..

Anyway.. Every forum, and every 'how-to's shows how to get back to stock if you had a T989UVKID, but nothing if you have a T989UVKL1.. In other words, I purchased my Samsung Galaxy SII from T-Mobile with the T989UVKL1 already installed.

There is a thread in this very forum, howbeit in the developers section HERE with an image of the T989UVKL1 that you can download and Odin back to stock using the image in the PDA field, however it doesn't get rid of the CWM.. or does it?

Has anyone rooted, then decided (for what ever reason, non-important) to un-root and return back to COMPLETE stock T989UVKL1????

Does the Odin way with the image work like as if I was just turning on the phone for the first time? I also know that the stock kernal would need to be reflashed.

Any help un-rooting for those who purchased a T989UVKL1 phone from the start, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noodles2224:
Yes, itll be back to how it was when you bought it. And it removes cwm and puts in stock, everything. Factory reset within the phone, when it reboots and does its thing.. Wait for the animated bootscreen. Not the first splash screen. Remove battery, then odin flash that file from your link. You will have to unrar it, get your odin ready and have your phone in download mode. Put the file in the pda section. Then flash away. Only reason to factory reset first is because it just overwrites the system files and adds your stock recovery keeping all user apps, but if you want a fresh clean install like nothing happend :) unless you had custom roms, i think your binary will have how many times you flashed custom when you get into download mode on the phone.

Can someone explain me how to do these things?

my last question.

If i buy a branded xperia,can I flash a general stock firmware non branded after i installerd Clockworkmod for locked bootloader?and next,unlock bootloader and flash doomkernel?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
A better way to do that is just to not flash the CWM for locked bootloaders. The reason being that doomlords kernel includes CWM in it already, I'm not sure how the locked version is stored or whatever but you might run into problems if you have both "installed".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giga304:
So there is a Doomlords kernel for locked bootloaders? mmm..this is a good news.In fact i wanted to flash CWM first because i thought that i have to unbrand my xperia and than flash another kernel.So i can buy xperia branded and install doomkernel? or i have to:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frankieee:
easiest way to debrand your phone: search Wotanserver on google and use their software to debrand (really esay, there's a step by step guide), then do whatever you want...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
No, how it works is you have to unlock your bootloader in order to flash a kernel. As for unbranding you can either use the Wotan server or a .ftf file, neither of these require an unlocked bootloader. You can also flash CWM with a locked bootloader, however this is not the one included in doomkernel, and it will not grant you the ability to flash ROMs as you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the kernel. You want to touch the kernel? You need to unlock your bootloader. Unbranding? You can simply use the two methods listed above. All I was saying earlier is that if you plan on getting your bootloader unlocked (which in most cases is going to run you $24) theres no need to install the locked bootloader CWM first as once youre unlocked you can just flash doomkernel and already have CWM installed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giga304:
ok thanks.i heard that the italian xperia and not the verizon ones can be unlocked with an official method released by sony
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Yep thats true, it's the case with a lot of r800i's, if you can put your phone into fastboot mode (turn off, hold search button, plug into usb, blue light comes on) you can unlock it for free through sonys online tool. While the light will go on for the CDMA version you don't have an IMEI to enter on the site so it wont work. All other plays CAN be unlocked, but its not free, you need to go through a pay service to enable fastboot.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giga304:
Very thanks!however one of my friends bought an xperia and it was GSM R800i TIM and he was able to debrand and unlock :D so i think that also i can unlock my future xperia,or almost i hope it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BuckM:
Ya it all depends on where you get it from, but keep in mind it only costs $24 to unlock, so even if you find one say on eBay thats cheap but locked to a carrier, you could still just pay $24. That being said they're going pretty cheap now so I don't think you'll have a problem finding one, unlocked or otherwise. As a side not though, you don't need to be unlocked to debrand the phone, you just flash a different firmware file ;).
