Panel is ok, rom should work fine, Flinny puts a link to the needed gapps package on his site (same place you found the rom. Place rom and gapps on sd, open recovery, Format all but sd card (4ext) flash zip rom, flash gapps fix permissions and reboot. Profit :D

Sorry but I'm still not clear about gapps.

Below are the doubts,

1. Format all but sd card ........ ?

2. Gapps fix permissions......... of whome it fixes permissions ?

You are aware of my bootloader state, do I need to use this gapps files ?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Gapps = google apps

Boot recovery

Flash gapps

Reboot

[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
Hi,

Can you please provide me gapps file.

Cause both links provided on http://andromadus.flinny.org are not working.

Dead Link-1

Dead Link-2

Actually non of the link is working on that site,

I also did downloaded flinnycm101_saga_21.zip from another mirror.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager it will enable you to download gapps directly, make sure you download the correct gapps for the rom you use, all the threads will tell you which version

[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
I think installing wrong gapps using that app may brick my device.

It would be helpful if you could provide me that exact gapps file.

:)
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
It provides a direct link to all the gapps files, Flashing the wrong gapps won't brick your device. The app just links you to the goo site. Use search.

Hope it's the same one which was provided on http://andromadus.flinny.org/?q=node/35

The method is the same for all roms.

I would search for the latest 4ext recovery (rc9 i think it is now) and flash that over your existing version and you should be good to go

Hi. I can't understand how this can fix my problem. ROM flash normally. No white screen with green letters. Phone is working properly. Just camera freezes. Any other suggestion?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
My apologies for just throwing the link out without any explanation.

My suspicion is the the mddi panel is the cause of more than just bootloops in jb, in fallout it causes camera issues that lowveld has said he can't support. I'm curious to see if it goes further, i had no problems with reaper and still consider it one of the most stable roms around along with quite a few people here. What harm could it do to run 1 line in terminal just to prove me wrong ;)

[HTC Desire S] asotiriou:

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
I realise that reaper isnt JB, the different panels only really became apparent with JB based roms (not booting etc) like i said, my suspicion is that the problems started long before that. If you've got a sony panel then i will help you to try and solve your problem if not then i don't think i can. :o

I've flashed the ROM(the problem was I did not move the boot.img from the .zip file) and it's running properly I think. However, I did not do a full wipe because that part was not mentioned in the guide. Should I reflash the rom again with a full wipe? What will be the difference?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
If your changing to a different rom then full wipe is necessary, if your upgrading an existing rom then wiping cache and dalvic is ok, it may seem to work but you could have problems later. Seeing as your s-off you shouldn't need to flash the boot.img. If you intend to report problems in the development thread then i would always recommend a full wipe even on upgrading the rom

[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Hey jugg! Thanks for your help again. I need your expert opinion again. The reason I flashed the custom ROM was that my phone takes ages to charge and battery drains heavily and heats up while browsing or playing games. I've not tested fully the battery life but the heating up is still there. What do you think the reason for this heating up? The phone does not heat up while charging.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Has the battery expanded at all, i had to change mine when it wobbled when i placed it on a table

"Man is like a banana: when he leaves the bunch, he gets skinned." - Proverb
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
No, no change in size at all and not only the phone's back side but also the top of the phone(front speaker) gets heat up. Maybe the heat from the battery is spreading to it because of it's aluminium body, I don't know. By the way, do you have any idea on the Gold 2400mah battery? I saw it on eBay and try it out.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Sounds like the battery might be on its way out, no idea on the gold 2400mah but you should look at the anker ones :cool:

Replacing HTC Desire S Android 4.0.4 by another rom

Hello, everyone. I own a HTC Desire S. A couple of months ago, I flashed the Android 4.0.4 rom which was made available on the HTC website. As many of you might know, this Android 4.0.4 rom version which was released by HTC is very problematic (with loads of very frustrating bugs). Now, I would like to flash Flynny's Andromadus rom. The only problem is that all of the tutorials I found so far seemed to consider, for the installation, only Android version 2. No clue as of what to do now. Could anyone help me please? Thank you very much in advance.

you can consider downgrade first, since your phone is rooted?

HTC Desire S perfoming great with Flinny's Andromadus rom

Thank you very much, mates. I was able to unlock my bootloader and flash Flinny's Andromadus build 22 rom. It is perfect by the way! I had never seen my HTC Desire S performing so well. So far, no bugs at all! Moreover, the user interface feels so responsive and smooth. Project butter is indeed an unbelievable achievement in terms of mobile software development. Flinny, if you are reading me, I would like to thank you very much for the work bringing the newer Android versions to our old models. You did a great job indeed! Before flashing this room, I thought that I would have no option but to buy a Nexus 4. Now, I am very satisfied with my cellphone. Even being an old device, it is performing great! This forum is great!
[HTC Desire S] antimage05:
Congrats!!!:)
[HTC Desire S] t0bb:

And believe me check out the entire forum there are a lot more interesting stuff... now you can flash lots of roms, and make backups so that you can always return to the previous one etc.

returning to the start

Question: How would I go about returning the Desire S back to where it started (was on official ICS manual update from HTC). Android V 4.0.4 HTC Sense 3.6

OK, I followed the guide yesterday and it worked perfectly first time (excellent guide thanks). I installed the rom [ROM][04 JUN 13][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10.1 - SAGA

Then today I realised Sky Go does not run anymore. I researched and it appears the Sky app will not run on any rooted phone.

If I wanted to return the Desire S back into a state where Sky Go would run, is this possible? If so what/how do I go about this. I have the RUU downloaded from the HTC site (assuming that's what I need), but I do not know where to start?

It's not the end of the world if I can't go back.

I did look at the other posts and there is one but it relates to an earlier version of the HBOOT and expects S-ON to be OFF, so that post I think is not suitable?

Any help gratefully appreciated

Berni
[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
Try using PG88IMG.zip method.

Follow below steps.

1. Run RUU in your system.

2. Grab ROM.zip file from %temp% folder.

3. Open rom.zip file using any archive manager like winrar or 7z.

4. Delete hboot.img and recovery.img files from that rom.zip archive.

5. Rename rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip.

6. Copy PG88IMG.zip on root of your memory card.

7. Boot in to bootloader and it will scan PG88IMG.zip and will give you option for UPDATE. Select yes.

8. Now stock ROM has been installed and it should boot normally.

Let us know the Result.

Best Luck. :good:
[HTC Desire S] berniath:
thanks

Hi,

Thanks NIK3SH, I will give it a try over the weekend or earlier if I get the chance.
[HTC Desire S] berniath:
done!

I managed to restore stock rom, maybe this will be of use to other people.

This is what I did:

1) Download an RUU that is for my phone. I went with:

RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed

2) I had to relock my HBOOT, which I did using 'fastload oem lock' command whilst in fastboot (volume down and turn on method).

3) Ran the RUU exe (mentioned in point 1), and hey presto a stock rom was installed.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Yh this is the correct way to do it. But this is just me personally, i would also boot recovery, format all partitions except sdcard, reboot bootloader, re-lock bootloader then run ruu. Its just to wipe the phone clean before ruu. But thats just me :silly:
[HTC Desire S] berniath:
Hi,

Good points, nice to know, and useful to others. I have a question though. How would I have done a boot recovery, format all partitions and reboot bootloader? I ask as I'm not sure how this is done.

Finally, one thing that made me laugh, when I tried running Sky Go, Sky refused as I have changed my devices to many times this month. So I will have to wait till next month to set it up! Typical.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
u were rooted so u woulda had recovery installed, correct? so boot into recovery just like u would if u were flashing a rom, if u were using CWM recovery u would wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, (advanced) wipe dalvik cache, then if u were using 4ext recovery then simply go to tools/ format all partitions except sdcard.

To boot into bootloader in 4ext recovery just go to power menu and reboot bootloader (fastboot) or just power off ur phone then press n hold volume down + power n select fastboot and run ur commands. (like u already did.

It isn't possible to unlock without using htcdev, after installing ics.

After unlocking you can still s-off your phone, but you have to use HTCDev first.

[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Looking through that thread I'm fairly certain that having installed the Ics ruu, you would need to unlock the bootloader first anyway.
[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
Hi,

Your provided link method works with S-Off devices only.

If your device is S-OFF, you are the king and free to do anything with your device.

But in case if you are S-ON and with LOCKED Bootloader, you must need to first unlock your bootloader to make any changes in your device.

However it is advisable to first unlock your bootloader using HTCDev, Install EXT4 Recovery and Flash SU binaries using it.

This is the simplest and safest Method for sure.

Let us know if you are having any doubt regarding the same.
