Hello,

I m sorry, I couldnt reply early as I was quite busy with some work.

1)Can u plz tell me what build u r having? Is it 4.0.0.A.0.42 or 0.62? To check it go to Settings->About Phone. there u'll find it.

3)Before going ahead with rooting, make sure u have latest drivers installed. Install the latest version of PC Companion.

2)If it is .0.42 then u can root it using the Superoneclick but if it is 0.62 then I'm afraid, u need to flash the cell with already rooted .62 firmware cos rooting 0.62 manually is not present at the moment.

3) The pre rooted .0.62 firmware is available on the forum just check u'll get it.

4)If u have 0.42 firmware, then to root it. Make sure u have USB Debugging selected. To select it, go to settings->Development->USB Debugging

5) Now open the Superoneclick software. And connect the cell to PC via USB

6)Dont make any changes to Superoneclick Software, just select method as Zergrush and click on root.

7)Wait for the process to complete, the SOC will send a su command to ur cell click on ok when a pop up comes.

8) Check the cell and check for Superuser app in ur app drawer.

Thats it!

rooting 4.0.0.A.0.62

I used wotan server to flash my firmware to 4.0.0.A.0.42 and then root it. Its a long process but worth it.

Can't seem to find the thread right now...... The thread goes...

What you need to do is flash a custom ota firmware.zip which has a main version higher than 12, it will then give you the 2. hboot which you can unlock , install a ROM,then change your main version etc.

Will find the thread in the morning.
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
Ok, I think that the thread you were looking for is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412398

I read it all several times. I flashed the firmware.zip as you said, thanks to the chargetw post nº41, and now I have HBOOT 2.00.0002. So I went thru HTCDev.com and the unlocking process concluded successfully. Now what? I still cant boot to use adb and misc_version, and fastboot.exe getvar version-main is 13.10.401.8.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
@Rostwildch

To to be sure, you hboot now says UNLOCKED right?

Now you have two routes...

They all start with flashing a custom recovery have a look here at section 1 Step 2 to install a recovery via fastboot. If you want 4ext you will have to find the image on this site somewhere.

Next will have to install a custom ROM.

Now you have a working phone and can now change your misc version and can downgrade (then s-off) to a older RUU or you can carry on using you Unlocked phone.
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
Phewww that was close :S

At last I could flash a custom recovery via fastboot (my fear of a bricked phone clouded my view so I didnt realize I had an unlocked bootloader... what a noob), then flashed a custom ROM, so now I have it functional.

I want it fully stock, so I think I should now use misc_version to use an old RUU, isnt it?

Thanks foX2delta, wouldnt fixed it without your help :) I'm going to edit first post to make a pseudoguide to help ppl in my situation.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
Spot on, since you rooted already all you need to do is change the misc version, then install the RUU. Glad it all worked out. You also may need to lock your bootloader to install the RUU
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
Yep. Thanks foX2delta :).

I have detailed all my process in first post so everybody can read it. Hope it helps someone. Let me know if I misspelled a word, or you dont agree with something.
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
I dont want this thread to get down. Seriously, and with more reasons now ICS is officialy being developed by HTC, a lot of people is going to do what I did. I just dont want them to make the same mistakes.

BUMP!!!
[HTC Desire S] xtr3m3:
Thank you!

I followed your guide, and managed to recover my phone! :D

With me, the firmware.zip (extracted from OTA_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8-1.47.401.4_release_225210uj1q93xrps74xzje) didn't flash via fastboot, so I copied it to my micro sd and renamed it to PG88IMG.zip.

Now with my (officially) unlocked bootloader, I have now flashed [4 FEB 2012]HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Prerooted_Deodexed and will try to sell this phone to go back to WP7. (withdrawal symptoms :rolleyes:)

Many, many thanks, Rostwildch!!!

[edit]

I decided to do step six, and have now managed to relock the bootloader + flash the original T-Mobile UK RUU.

Once again, thanks!
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
With the official ICS on its way, all you'd really need is to use any of the available Sense 3.0 RUUs to return to Stock.

Or wait 24 hours. I'd dare day that's the maximum lag time before an official/unofficial version becomes freely available for download on any number of Desire S forums clouding the web.

Perhaps another 24 hours for a fully rooted version to appear.
[HTC Desire S] coolbook1:
Hi guy´s I really got a huge problem.

I have the same situation like others in this thread, but I have an o2 branded device. So i could not flash recovery.zip because it´s the completely wrong version.

Any ideas I´m now stuck on HBOOT-0.98.0002 and s-on.

Please help me.

Thanks a lot

@coolbook1

M u s t m m m m a k e g o l d c a r d.... (said in a slow dying voice).

So yeah that's about it, you need to make a goldcard, if you have another android phone make it on that, or if you have a memory card reader you can use that on your PC.

Things you will need and to do

-A memory card (preferable a spare one), and also preferable smaller that 2GB

-A Phone/card reader

-Backup all the info on the memory card, we will be formatting it!

Creating a Goldcard on a working phone

Step 1) Get memory card CID and goldcard image

-Insert the memory card you wish to make into a goldcard into the phone.

-Go to Settings/SD and Phone storage on the phone and select 'unmount SD card'. Once the card is unmounted select 'Erase SD card'.

-Download and install 'Goldcard Helper' from the market.

-The app will run and give two CID's which are all ready reversed, write down the mmc2 number.

-Go to psas.revskills.de website here and enter your mmc2 CID and download the goldcard image (goldcard.img).

Step 2) Create the Goldcard

-Download 'HxD-Hex-Editor' from here and install it on your PC.

-Connect the phone to the PC in 'disk mode' i.e. view your SD card on the PC (Removable Disk).

-Open the Hex Editor (Run as Administrator if Vista/Windows 7)

-Select the 'Extra' tab and then 'Open Disk'. Under Physical Disk select your Removable Disk (your SD cad) and ensure 'Open as Read Only' is not selected and then select OK.

-Now goto the 'Extra' tab again and select 'Open Disk Image' and select the 'goldcard.img' file you downloaded early (Step 1). Press OK when prompted for Sector Size 512.

-You will now have two tabs open, one the SD card and the other the goldcard image, now to merge the two

-Go to the the goldcard.img tab and select 'Edit' then 'Select All' then 'Edit' and 'Copy'.

-Now go the you SD card tab and highlight offset 00000000 to 000000170 , and then 'Edit' and 'Paste'

-Lastly goto 'File' and select 'Save'

Allll Done......

You can also have a look here for a more modern/complex method

Or here (has a video).

Excellent guide.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
[HTC Desire S] coolbook1:
I finally killed my Desire S after hours of restoring it. At the end I made the OTA Update and it freezes in Recovery Mode.

I pulled out the battery and now it´s death. I couldn´t even get any life sign.

So RIP Desires S.

Thanks fox2delta for your help...
[HTC Desire S] rzabcio:
Rostwildch: BIG THANKS for great description step-by-step. I believe no only me, but lots of users with the same issue, have problems to gather and apply informations from many topics.

One note for branded phones:

- before any action prepare golcard (with GoldCaldHelper.exe and standard card reader, method with Hex editing didn't work for me - card was not visible),

- do step 1 with goldcard inserted,

- after this - unmount it and keep safe for future use,

- like for step 6, when installing non-branded RUU.
[HTC Desire S] userdesires:
It's a shame that it's easier to root the phone than it is to return it to stock..

just checked and it still working

if you have problem with this link, you can post your CID here so other may help you to get goldcard.img

I just left Sprint for Verizon and picked up the Galaxy Nexus. Really love this phone so far. My only problem, I came from the E4GT and I'm left a little disappointed by the Nexus' screen. Is there any way to tweak the Nexus screen colors, or is it as good as it can get? I know the E4GT is AMOLED Plus and the Nexus isn't plus, so is it as good as it can be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
Most custom kernels have Ezekeel's color control and can be tweaked using the Franco.kernel app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Today I was confronted with some battery stats I was dissapointed in so I decided to look if I could find out what might have caused it.

I noticed within that media server had kept my phone awake for almost 2 hrs (with the famous AudioOut_1 wakelock) although I have all system sounds (exept off course the ringtones and notifications) disabeled, did not listen to music, played my games without music and sounds...

Anybody have an idea what could have caused the mediaserver to wake up and keep my phone awake?

Is it possible that a game/app might keep it awake even if sounds are off and how could I find out which app?

Can anyone say me a good screenprotector thanks

PS: I'm living in germany
[LG Optimus Black] Zakyz:
You don't need screenprotector for this phone, bcuz i think it has gorilla glass. I've been using this phone for 8 months now, but still no scratches.

PHONE: LG Optimus Black P970

[LG Optimus Black] interdan:
I bought and a couple of times they have saved my screen ;), I bought them on ebay on Italian sites, you must be careful to have this form, look at pictures in the link ,there are different types ,with few cutters are better.
[LG Optimus Black] ogremount:
I have to agree that there very few situations where screen protector will help at all.

Only if you actually grinding the screen on sand or metal edges there will be use.

In reality a silicon or TPE bumper will give you much better protection.

I mean the gorilla glass really WORKS on this phone, being so lightweight there is hardly any pressure when you put out down. Off out falls from high enough nothing will save it.

I only have couple of little scratches and they are self inflicted (cutter knife ) to see the actual force that starts to make visible damage.

P.s. And not to sound out of idea i actually had couple of protectors. One was utter rubbish and peeled within a week. The other was good, stuck alright and was hard (ish) enough but there was some obvious loss of sensitivity of the screen - more often undetected button touch, wrong button etc.

So ended taking it of.

I prefer some (possible) scratches but responsive screen and less reflection and natural colours.
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
I've been using on my phone a Clear screen protector for a month,

But the problem is that the screen protector isn't smooth and it's hard to slip the finger on this screen protector.

Therefore, I've purchased a matte screen protector, once I'll receive it, I will write a review about it, but I've already seen it, and it's so smooth.
[LG Optimus Black] jusatin:
I used to have a nice 20+€ screen protector on the phone for about two or three months, then it lost the touch after it gained a few scratches so I took it off and was going to buy a new one.. that was more than 3 months ago and still haven't needed a protector for my screen, over 3 months "unprotected" no bag no silicon, nothing and still 0 scratches. one doesn't really need a protector with this screen.
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I had my phone since 1 month, it got some hardly noticeable scratches :S

It sucks... I have to get a screen protector now..
[LG Optimus Black] aveenhuysen:
Got a screen protector with a silicon case from ebay for a few euros and the protector is already on it for 6 months and seems to be glued onto it (so excellent one) and the silicon case saved my phone a few times already from being seriously scratched or broken. Worth the few euros for sure, especially if you want to sell it one day (now it is still as new)!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Segfau:
I use screen protector. I bought 5 for a bunch of euros. Even with Gorila Glass it's never to much protection ;)

[LG Optimus Black] BoyBawang2:
No matter what CPU and other specs your phone have you will always look at the screen and I want the best of it. For that reason I'll rather take the risk of taking extra care of the naked screen than even a 5% compromise of screen clarity due to the screen protector. What's the point of the IPS technology if the cover will reduce it to normal LCD or Pentile quality.

Is there a way we can change the color of those buttons????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
There is no way short of disassembling your phone. You can not change the colors of the LEDs with software you would have to swap out the LEDs. When I was on the OG Droid someone swapped out the LEDs with blue ones, so I guess you could look in that forum to get an idea of what the process entails. I actually don't know if its possible (or easily possible, anyway) and I wouldn't suggest embarking on such a project as you could easily damage the motherboard. If however you find a way to mod this, definitely share your results.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioweb:
I'm not sure flashing any HK/Chinese rom would be wise as the official Chinese roms will be built for the Chinese version of the Note, the i9228, not the European/International i7000 Note that you own.

I've read about people soft bricking their i9228's by flashing an i7000 rom so I guess the other way round would do the same.
