I'm reading alot about S-ON & S-OFF these days as I'm very interested in flashing CM9 (as soon as some builds are available) to the HTC One S as I dont like Sense (not even the 4th alliteration).

Is the One S S-Off after this procedure?

(because I've read a lot of times that you can't flash a custom recovery or another ROM if the device is S-ON)

Would love to get an answer soon as I'm about to drive to my postcenter & take up my One S which I've won last week & I dont know atm if I should keep or sell it... (as I'm rocking a GT-I9000 atm I never cared much about HTC stuff, so pls help me ;))
[HTC One S] bmk90:
And again: You don't have to be S-OFF for flashing another ROM or a custom recovery...

I did it last night, so believe me, please! :-) Where have you read that? :confused:
[HTC One S] fipsib:
& thanks again ;) [edit] I've posted here before I read your answer in the other thread [/edit]

give me some seconds & I'll post it here if you want me to ;)

[edit] here we go. Mentioned in the 2nd paragraphe; but I also read it somewhere else, but not shure where atm
[HTC One S] bmk90:
It's not completely correct.

With an Unlocked bootloader you can flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM. even if you are S-ON.

But you can't access your NAND partition and change e.g. the size of your /system partition...only if S-OFF.

'Tampered' is due to HTCDev or due to Superuser...?

I used HTCDev to unlock, My phone shows 'unlocked' but not 'Tampered'.

Can someone please post a guide for the T-Mobile USA version? I'm hearing reports of bricked devices when following this guide.
[HTC One S] undercover:
Link the the reports?
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I've done so much browsing lately that I can't recall, but I DO NOT want to F this thing up. That's a 2yr contract down the drain and $200 minimum.

We really need confirmation that it won't get F'd up when following the international guide.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
well i spend all day on these forums, Cant say ive come across someone who has bricked their Tmo One S because of flashing root.. unless they did not follow instructions
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I do not have a ***TAMPERED*** message after unlocking with HTCDev

This thread seems to suggest that the tampered message comes from superuser... :confused:
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
maybe your right.. But why are you unlocking bootloader if your not gunna root the device lol
[HTC One S] dc211:
Just picked up my T-mobile US phone today.

Unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev website

Rooted it with Paul's Superboot

Installed a new recovery using Paul's Interm CWM

T-mobile US people don't worry about "bricking" your phones it's actually pretty hard to do.
[HTC One S] hoops129:
What happened to the link on the original "Download SuperSU"? Isn't that what I need for root after I unlocked and flashed a recovery image?
[HTC One S] puiutzuusa:
Please help!!!

I went on the htcdev.com page but can't find this phone listed, how did you do it? thanks
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
just select 'all other supported models' :D:D
[HTC One S] unk2009:
Quick question, I'm not sure I did this right(I was using the all in one toolkit,which is pretty awesome by the way) and was unsure of where the data file was or where...So for the lack of better judgement, I stopped using the toolkit(I know,not the smartestthing to do) but in the end I did manage to unlock the bootloader because It does say unlocked and tampered...I thought I had superboot(ty Modaco for giving us that much appreciated) but on sum apps, i.e a patch for titanium says no root and when I type su into Better emulator I get the $ sign instead of the # sign...So my question(finally...lol) is "Can I or do I have to go back and lock bootloader and start from the beginning ? And if so,could anyone who used the all in one tool kit let me know exactly what is or where is the data folder Hasson is referring too...

I know this is lo.g but I'm trying to be as descriptive as I can...Thanks XDA,You guys are Awesome
[HTC One S] rpedrica:
Hi All, I have my phone rooted/unlocked using Paul's interim recovery and SuperSU. When I use ROM Manager now, it says that I still need to flash recovery. Does this mean that:

1. flashing any zip still needs to be done from boot -> recovery?

2. ROM Manager-based backup/restore will not work?

3. I have to wait for an official CWM greater than 5.8.2.4 that works?

Thanks to all for the instructions and information!

Regards, Robby
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
rom manager wont work because rom manager didnt install cwm for you..

you have an unofficial version, dont worry about it, you can still flash roms and make backups, just boot into recovery manually, or use an app like quickboot (free) to save the hassle
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I will probably end up rooting the device, but don't feel the need to do so yet. Would prefer to wait until I can do it without a ***TAMPERED*** message and when S-OFF is available.

When I rooted my Desire, I had a strong need to do it. The Desire had much too little storage space and I needed a2sd.

The One S has plenty of space for apps so the need to root is much less strong. What I WOULD like to be able to do is repartition the storage so that most of the 1.9GB that I am not currently using for apps, could be available as extra data storage. When development of this phone gets to that stage I will be taking the plunge!
[HTC One S] rpedrica:
Will I be able to install a new CWM when it becomes available?

[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
try adb use the command ''adb reboot recovery'' or if you have root, download quickboot (its free)

if neither of those work, then re flash the recovery or try an alternative.. Sometimes the button combo can be tricky..

Cant launch recovery with Tmobile One S....

ADB works fine, bootloader is unlocked, recovery is flashed.....

when you press Recovery or do adb to Recovery, the phone simply reboots.....

SOLVED: DONT USE Official CWM of koush (HTC One S) < BOTH DONT WORK FOR ME, PAULS WORKS FINE
[HTC One S] FunkyELF:
I have a blue T-Mobile HTC One S.

Neither of the two official CWM recoveries worked form me. I tried flashing them multiple times and even tried "adb boot" instead of "adb flash".

I tried getting Paul's but the website just kept sending me in circles and popping up ads.

I found this and it worked....

[HTC One S] strker45:
Delete post.
[HTC One S] strker45:
it probably didn't work because you didn't use fastboot like your supposed too. the command is fastboot flash, not adb flash.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
+1, when in fastboot, dont use adb use ''fastboot flash nameofthefile''
[HTC One S] androidcues:
thats misleading --- it absolutely did not work because he used adb flash, but that doesnt mean the img's are sticking anyway.

of course adb flash gets you nowhere but thats not why Koush's images are not sticking. It appears that Obrien's version is working the most... I was able to flash Koush's regular one (non touchscreen) the first time... and when I was playing around I lost it and had a difficult time getting a new one to stick. I must have flashed 50 images since Thurs and only four stuck that I know about. One was Koush's and three was Obriens. I dont think I have one right now but thats OK, I finally got rid of all that tmocrapware and got my apps installed and all is well and backed up... so I dont want to fix anything anymore if it aint broke.

I am however tired of Sense... it is so gross. I really miss AOSP, I feel like I am stuck in Taiwan without a passport.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Does anyone know how to return the HTC one S back to original? Like s-on and unroot
[HTC One S] Cayniarb:
Confirmed that this is working and the ones on Koush's site do not. Also Paul's site seems to be down.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
There is no S-OFF yet.

Running an RUU will remove root.

The phone can be locked again via HTCDev. The phone will show 'relocked' in the bootloader.
[HTC One S] Dimson75:
relocked warranty will not be. close the boot loader can be a ADB

«fastboot oem lock»
[HTC One S] :
Sorry for a stupid Windows question, but--

I am looking at this phone for US TMO to replace my rooted N1 instead of buying the GN. I have sdk/java/adb/fastboot all setup from the N1. I guess I just need to get the One S drivers from HTC website or maybe phone will prompt me when i first hook it up.

Question--

I was doing prelim work on unlock instructions and see I still need HTC Sync on laptop--or do I--???

When I went to dl to laptop and run setup got a box that said something to the effect the setup app is not a valid win32 file or something like that. Does my 4 year old Viao not meet HTC Sync requirements to install. Running Vista32 with 2g ram and plenty memory or bad dl--tried it 3 times--never saw that warning before--and doesn't make sense--

And are all of you using the adb backup method prior to unlock or another way now availble. I could use MyBackUp before I put any of my apps on it--not sure if that would suffice--

Thanks for any help guys--phone looks great and with 42mb coming, semi-future proof for awhile as speeds go--unlike GN

EDIT: Got HTC Sync installed even if I don't need it to unlock--not sure why it worked all of a sudden--

I can confirm that the Modaco Interim Recovery works on my T-Mobile One S. It flashed on perfectly, however it did crash during my initial attempt to backup. I tried to backup immediately after installing and the phone shut down almost at once. However, after rebooting the phone and making another attempt, it worked flawlessly. I have not attempted to flash a ROM yet.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Great noob proof thread you have here.
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
i cant seem to flash cwm.. when i put my phone into fastboot, connect it via usb and run 'fastboot devices' it doesnt list my phone. I managed to unlock the bootloader via the all in one kit but i cant seem to flash cwm in any way. i thought it worked but when i select recovery i get "this build is for development blabla" but then my phone just reboots :confused: what am i doing wrong?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Have you got USB debugging checked ?

If your in fastboot, ADB should find your phone, If it doesnt, I would suggest you dont have the correct drivers..

Also try to get a newer / updated Fastboot.exe and ADB.exe
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
thanks for the help, do i need to have the android sdk and/or htc sync installed?

nvm, used another pc and installed the htc drivers from the all in one toolkit and now fastboot lists my device, thanks
[HTC One S] roakes:
Hi,

I installed CWM Recovery through ROM Manager and it worked a treat but just tried to run a Nandroid backup and it was painfully slow, could see it taking hours, anyone else have this problem?

Also it seems to have been backing up to the 2GB "system" partition rather than the 10gb storage, can this be changed?

One last one, how do I browse the contents of the 2GB partition? Astro doesn't seem to recognise it.

Thanks

Russ
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
The 2gb partition is your apps, So looking at apps under settings will show them.

nandroids look like they will take ages, but they usually take about 10mins depending how much stuff you have..

It will not back up your media,, such as pictures and music, This is stored on the SD card and will not be deleted unless you format it.

Always have regular nandroid backups if your a flasher.. even if you have lots of **** and it takes 30mins.. It worth it
[HTC One S] roakes:
Thanks for that.

I am a flasher (kind of a weird statement) just used to seeing the Nandroid backup whizz through when it comes to backing up the system, each app being backed up is shown but usually only for a split second on my GS2, with this it seems to be sitting on each app for a good 10 seconds.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I observed this. I also observed that if performed the backup quite quickly, so....
[HTC One S] porkupan:
In fastboot mode my phone was not recognized as an ADB device on Windows 7 until I specifically directed the system to the "Android ADB Interface" driver ("Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"). I needed to reconnect the phone and restart the ADB server for the fastboot to get going.

I have a US T-Mobile HTC One S.

r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img (Paul's recovery image) worked well. No need to pick any of the "alternatives" offered above. Installing SuperSU was not a problem, except one has to remember to use the touch interface in the "recovery" image installation menu (while using the Vol and Power buttons in the bootloader menu to get to Recovery or Fastboot mode).

If the phone doesn't start in recovery mode (Vol- + Power), just try again.
[HTC One S] jureca:
In order to return to the ROM stock and to receive OTA they are these steps: -

-To install Nandroid.

- Recovery stock: fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img

- RELOCKED.

He is correct to be able to receive OTA? , thanks

[HTC One S] undercover:
It doesn't see your device

1. you don't have fastboot drivers installed (get them from www.revolutionary.io)

2. You are trying to do it while phone is booted. Type adb reboot-bootloader

2. you are not specifying the path.

Open folder where you have your adb, hold right shift and right click mouse, chose open command window

Type

fastboot devices (when phone is in fastboot mode) to confirm fastboot sees your device.
[HTC One S] jamesgg:
Thanks for the tip, did not see any fastboot drivers at the site above, but went ahead on a macbook, grabbing the mac equivalent of adb and fastboot it worked without problems.
[Click General] mertzi:
Sorry if this should be in the general forum but there are different opinions for different phones so I thought it's better to ask here. I don't use my tattoo nowadays but I'm getting a new contract today and my old will run for 2 more months and I thought I'd use the sim-card for my old contract in my tattoo only for wifi hotspot usage and keep it on 24/7, like a router. Will that ruin the battery? I know it can't run on charger only but I don't want to destroy the battery cause the tattoo is a good backup phone. How does it actually work when the battery is 100%, does the charging stop?
[Click General] lanny25:
Yes

I used to have my Tattoo plugged in most of the time. Within one year my battery got swollen up and was able to give only 2 hours backup on standby. Although this was my experience, maybe the battery was defective in the first place. I suggest that you take out te battery plug in the charger and switch on the phone. If it does switch on, then you may usr it this way. I have also noticed that te phone goes very hot while in tethering mode.
[Click General] mertzi:
thanks for the reply! I know, it get's almost so hot that it burns when using wifi tethering, that's also an issue with keeping it plugged in all the time cause high temperatures is bad for the battery. Booting it without battery doesn't work. Can't understand why this isn't standard with all phones, a lot of people use wifi tethering and it eats battery fast and you have to keep the phone plugged in the whole day. I have unlimited data and it's fast enough so I don't need any other internet at home so I use wifi tethering daily.
[Click General] lanny25:
Alternate option

If you are not considering the cost factor, you can buy a 3g Dongle and a Wifi router that supports it. If that looks costly to you you can go ahead using your phone and then replacing the battery when it goes bad, if ever. A new battery costs about $12 here in India.
[Click General] kemoba:
How about making charge braker, a circuit that would stop charging and start it again every lets say 12 hours
[Click General] Ihaveatattoo:
Yea, a kinda timer. We have such things in Denmark.
[Click General] lanny25:
Sounds Cool

It sounds like a cool geeky idea. Never thought about such a thing. Does anyone have a DIY tutorial on how to go about it?
[Click General] JeremC:
Why don't you just plug you're phone on a programmable socket?

You just have to configure the socket to restart every 8-10 hours...giving your battery the time to normaly drain and restart charging.

SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT STOCK ROMS WITHOUT BOOTLOADER (NO HARD BRICK RISK)

WARNING: THESE ROMS ARE FOR GINGERBREAD USERS ONLY. FOR FROYO USERS, UPGRADE FIRST TO GINGERBREAD BY FOLLOWING THIS LINK HERE (thanks yagya)

I would like to thank them first.

fkrone for giving me the inspiration to make one for our device and for guiding me along the way.

kyrillos13 for starting this all on samsung galaxy 3.

parasmi, godell, dhlalit11 for telling me what to and what not to.

yagya for helping me repack the rom and many stuffs.

The following ROMs are tested and are working. I just removed the bootloader (arm11boot). Unsuccessful flash of bootloader will hard brick the phone. So if we flash a ROM without bootloader, the chances of hard bricking the phone is 0%. You can only soft brick your phone, and a simple reflash will fix this.
