[HTC Desire S] Alize:
Hi,

I'm very familiar with flashing ROMs on phones and have flashed a fair few in my time. I flashed my sisters Desire S a while ago but recently the phone has stopped detecting the SIM card and subsequently has to go back for warranty.

I've flashed a Stock rom over it - trouble is, I now have the locked HBOOT v 2.00.0002 with S-OFF!

Could someone verify if these steps are correct? I'm not too familiar with the Desire S.

1. Downgrade HBOOT to earlier version - 0.98 i think it is.... or 0.68

2. Turn S-ON

3. Flash RUU Stock ROM

I cannot for the life of me downgrade the HBOOT version - I've tried every method out there!

I am very familiar with working in command line on Windows and Linux so don't be afraid to get technical!

Any help is very much appreciated!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Daft question, but have you tried a different Sim?

Does she still have the box?

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] Alize:
Haha I spent hours debugging the sim card issue and finally came to the conclusion it's a hardware fault!

Yes - tried several different sim cards from two different carriers (this household only uses 2 carriers!)

Also tried several different ROMs/Radios - she was happily using MIUI for months then she just told me it stopped detecting her SIM card - she certainly hasn't been playing with ROMs so I know it's nothing she has done.

Update: Box is long gone :(
[HTC Desire S] Alize:
I've flashed a Stock rom over it - trouble is, I now have the locked bootloader v 2.00.0002 with S-OFF!

Could someone verify if these steps are correct? I'm not too familiar with the Desire S.

1. Downgrade bootloader to earlier version - 0.98 i think it is.... or 0.68

2. Turn S-ON

3. Flash RUU Stock ROM

Can I skip the first step? I guess not.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
What has me confused is that you flashed the 0.98 hboot and you said it was s on, now you ran the RUU, and its s off....

Did you use revolutionary to get s off or was it s off to start with?

The correct steps would be.. (if you use revolutionary)

1. Use fastboot to flash 0.98.2000 over the revolutionary one.

2. Run correct RUU.

Problem you could run into are cid's of the RUU (make a goldcard to avoid error) and two misc version being higher than RUU.
[HTC Desire S] Alize:
Thanks for the reply. I never said it was S-on, the phone was running a custom MIUI ROM with S-Off, I flashed a stock rom straight over the top of it by running the RUU (pretty sure I shouldn't have done!) now I have stock ROM with S-Off and locked HBOOT v2.00.0002

I cannot remember if I used revolutionary to get s off originally - it was many months ago, more than likely though. I remember the phone came with S-On and I had to make it S-Off.

I just want to get S-On again with stock rom but it's proving impossible!

So just to clarify, it is currently running stock rom with LOCKED HBOOT v2.00.0002 and S-Off.
[HTC Desire S] Alize:
I've tried manually overwriting the version with miscinfo, I've also tried the zerg method - all to no avail.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
I have NEVER heard of a stock hboot that is s-off, only when the phone was s-off to start with (early models), or if you used a clip.

Flashing the RUU would bring the phone back to completely stock. (if it flashed correctly)
[HTC Desire S] Alize:
Haha want screenshots? I assure you that's what I've got.

Ran an older RUU which has downgraded my HBOOT to 0.98 or 0.68 (can't remember off top of my head) and am running stock rom, HBOOT says ***locked*** at top and also says S-OFF.

I think I'm getting there now.

My battery temp

On standby is around 28 C

When using wifi and surfing then goes to max 45 C

Is that normal. Also after playing crazy birds space version after 15 minutes i got force close annd battery is also around 40 - 45 C

I am using minicm 2.1.9 and + nAa 11 on my x10mp
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matthias1203:
Come on. Am I only one with this problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] R[O]K.O.:
Nope, if i watch some videos online (WiFi enabled), then my phones temperature goes till 48 C. I doubt this is normal. By the way, am using minicm7 pro v21 for my mini-pro u20i. And at standby it is 28 C, same as urs. I initially thought it might be some battery calibration problem, but re-calibrating it didn't make any difference. :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HooLIMAN87:
In standby i got 21C and max is 42C that my battery heated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] R[O]K.O.:
I haven't checked though whether the issue exists with stock rom on u20i (but i don't recollect battery heating up to such high levels which would make me feel the difference) and unluckily am little lazy to check now :D But would really like some suggestion regarding heating problem, cause the phone gets heated up very badly and i am quite concerned about what impact it could have on the components of the phone itself :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] R[O]K.O.:
@matthias1203, where you able to get any solution for this? The temperature today completed a half century for me :( It reached 50C. Really would like some solution or suggestion for this...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] demoniacs:
normaly my phone on standby is around 35-40c. with wifi it goes to around 45c with bluetooth and wifi around 50.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matthias1203:

Hello , just installed CM9 nightly good so far but why the hell does data enabled by it self every while :S anyidea how to stop that i tried everything possible in settings , stop data , data roaming , delete APN still nothing !!! thanks in advance .
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolas60:
this you must do is to go to settings mobile network settings access point names click on your apn for example tmo us and after it will say APN and and if you click inside a text with the word internet you pres any letr you want and after back and ok you disable data if you want to reopen delete the letter you put back and data worrks again this works on all roms
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monzer_:
will try this thanks alot
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranks1989:
You also may try Widgetsoid. Create a custom widget for data and use it to toggle. It toggles by appending a '-' to the APN name. Data turning on by itself is a bug to be addressed in CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
i would like to start a team to port the webOS on to this phone

i would like to do this with webOS 3.0.5 and it is opensource

http://opensource.palm.com/3.0.5/index.html

i just dont have all of the knowledge to do this by myself and i would to have people help me with it.

i know android is better but every other OS get android ported to it so why not port something to an android phone???

HP is now slowly but surely making webOS opensource; when HP bought webOS from palm they made it closed source and now are slowly but surely making it open sourced. open webOS 1.0 comes out in sept. 2012. but i cant tell if it's releasing the source code to webOS 1.0 ( palm released it when they controlled i) or a new version of webOS that will be open source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tshile:
i'd love to help, but am unavailable until late may. i'll check back with you then. in the meantime good luck, i think it would be great.

i firmly believe webOS was the better mobile OS, it just had poor marketing and hence no sales; couldn't compete with apple and google.

it'd be fun to see it on the phone, if for no other reason than just to play with it for a little bit :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I love webOS, in fact it was the only thing about my Pre then Pixi that I loved. lol If I had even an ounce of developing knowledge I'd be thrilled to help, as it is I'll be anxiously awaiting the results of your endeavor. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:

While I doubt I would use it as a daily, I would love to see this done.

Would be a great thing to play with, and I believe that offering choices like this can only benefit our little E4GT community. The more roms, the better. (and it would look darn pretty on this screen...)

WebOS was the ****. My Pre was the bomb. Too bad it flopped ;_;
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I honestly still miss my pre till this day! Too bad web os didn't survive :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
I still have my piece of chit pre flashed web OS 2 wifi only the stupid thing is almost as good as a iPod ....oh it's better cause you don't have to use itunes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
I would LOVE to have my old Pre to mess around with: When I upgraded to an Evo, I didn't know at the time that you got to keep your old phone: so I WAS gonna keep it, but they gave me like 36 bucks for it (come to think of it, it was borked anyway), but I do miss that little feller once in a while. :-)

The other thing I wish I had was that charging stone thing: you can totally hack those to work with SGS2's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
One of the rumors of the sgs3 is it will have some type of inductive charging like the pre
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
I had the original Pre as well, still do in fact. Makes for a nice paperweight. The reason the Pre flopped was because the hardware was too weak for the OS, the phone quality was lacking big time, and the OS itself was severely unfinished at time fo release. In fact, I would consider it still in the alpha stage. Hell, some alpha builds of CyanogenMod are more capable than WebOS at it's release. I mean seriously, no video recording, no scrub bar in the music player, no APIs that allow apps to access the microphone or the camera, and bugs out the wazoo. And no voice dialing. Hell, even my old Moto Q running Windows Mobile 5 had voice dialing. Performance was sluggish at best, and boot times could be measured with an hourglass. Then the promise that every webOS device would be getting at least version 2.0, and the reneging on that promise shortly thereafter. Even overclocked at 1 Ghz, the iphone 3GS would smoke the damn thing, and it's clocked at 500 Mhz. WebOS 3.0 should have been the initial release.

However, the concept was great, and some of the features are great as well. Now that it is open source, I'm hoping that some of it's features make it into Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wotan2525:
It will certainly be remembered as an OS that was ahead of it's time. The iPhone was originally going to be all based on web technologies but Apple released pretty dang quickly that they couldn't muster the hardware to render the graphics without breaking the bank. Eventually, the hardware and battery technology will catch up to WebOS and it will make sense -- then the community will be able to focus on adding features. HP/Palm was just too bogged down trying to make it do every day things that they never could compete on the API or feature-sets. It was a damn shame.

I'm hoping that the opensource project will gain the same legs that linux, apache, firefox, wordpress and others have enjoyed. I think that the only thing holding it back will be a "reference" hardware design but (fingers crossed) HP may just come out with one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheHighlightGuy:
I would LOVE to see this happen! I miss my Pre from time to time :( I had the original. WebOS was such a beauty, too bad the dev support for it was lacking (on the app development side, anyway). Kudos and donations to whomever gets this going!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sputnik767:
I agree, definitely ahead of it's time. I wish I got my hands on a TouchPad (or 5) during the fire sale, but I had a med school exam coming up and had to miss it. It seemed pretty nice though, when I played with it. Definitely came a long way from my original Palm Pre.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
This thread gave me such a feeling of nostalgia I actually found myself on ebay perusing the Palm Pre listings. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
Overclocked to 1ghz my pre scores better in sun spider than my epic touch stock in GB. I bought a really good iTunes remote app that I still use on that thing. I sold my of epic when I upgraded, but I still have and love my pre. I am not a dev by any stretch, but when you get to testing phases, I'm a pretty good beta tester.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aur0r4:
Hi there!

First...sorry for my bad english:

My S2 was on Hydrogen-ics rom...a few minutes ago i decide to go back to stock. Factory Reset, Cache/Dalvik cache cleared, format /system...all done then I started Odin and choose PDA -> I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5 (its from samfirmware)

...everything was OK, then i reboot and flashed siyah kernel (v2.6) via Odin (PDA). Reboot again...everything was ok...

So I decided to go to checkrom. Reboot -> CWM -> Factory Reset ..and here something goes wrong..it stucked at wipe data or wipe cache (doesn't know exactly) after a few minutes I do a hard reset ...since then my S2 doesn't boot anymore. Galaxy S2 Logo appears with yellow triangle and that was it. CWM won't boot, too. :(

Download Mode still works, but when I try to reflash the stock rom from above it stucks at <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!! .

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tungstwenty:
From what I've read, your mistake was doing the repartition ...

That's the one thing that if interrupted or somehow failed (you stopped it during the process) will trash your bootloader and therefore preventing the phone from entering download mode using either the keys combo or a JIG.

If you hadn't messed with repartition, I'd say you should try on a different USB port, different cable, different PC and eventually you'd be able to flash a kernel, a ROM, whatever, but never compromise the bootloader and thus still be able to enter download mode...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aur0r4:
I forgot to say that there was something crazy after I flashed Siyah Kernel. While the "Galaxy S2-Logo" appeared the logo split into to parts...one side go to the left, the other to the right...it was very strange, after it has splitted there was green pixels all over the display...and they growed up..I mean first there was only one green pixel, and before I did a reset there were over 40 green pixels...

after reboot everything seems to be OK.
