[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Ok so you did relock before running he RUU. Did you manually run they RUU or did you extract the ROM.zip and copy it to your SD card as PG32IMG.zip?

After that failed, did you then unlock again before trying to update the recovery or flash the boot.img?
[HTC Incredible S] dabih:
Actually I tried to do both, because this is actually my first time fiddling with the phone at this level. (I'm a programmer, but not a phone expert).

1a. I ran RUU both when phone was unlocked (not locked or relocked) and locked (oem lock)

1b. I've done both ROM.zip (sdcard method, PG32IMG.zip) and the PC version (*.exe)

In total 4 different combinations instead of 2 due to my lack of knowledge/understanding of lock/unlocked state of the bootloader.

Though all combinations fail at some point.

2a. PC Version RUU fails at "rebooting to bootloader". (Can wait up to 60 min, nothing happens even though it says wait 10 minutes. It is just stuck, as with the phone. Have to take the battery out.)

2b. Bootloader approach loads the Image just fine, (the blue progressbar up in the right corner) but gives me an error about ZIP file being corrupted or something. It's hard to see what it actually says because the screen returns to the bootloader menu very fast.

So. What I want at this point, would be RUU the phone, then revert back to my custom ROM. So maybe we can figure out how we can have the RUU work sucessfully.

I'm using this RUU:

RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_sig.exe

It has the SAME radio that was on the phone before I installed CM7 a few months ago. It's the same android/sense version also. (My GF has the same phone)

I've also tried with this RUU:

RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.11.405.2_Radio_20.4805.30.0822U_3822.01.08.14_M_release_252414_signed.exe

Will update with dmesg/ksmg info later because the phone is charging and is spamming recharge data in the kmsg/dmsg output.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader. I suggest you go through the unlock process, flash the latest clockworkmod or 4ext recovery then do a clean install of cm7.

After you flash cm7, wipe the cache partition then manually flash the boot.img from the cm7 zip file

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Incredible S] dabih:
I've gone through the process of unlocking with fastboot and the "Unlock_code.bin" file I received from HTCDEV. Still not able to do anything.

My wish is to use a RUU, but I need to downgrade my "version_main" first, which is not possible with "misc_version" for me. (It tells me it updated the "partition" etc. but version is still the same).

[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
So, I assume everyone browsing this forum has the G2. I really am still in love with this device. The main reason is the physical keyboard. I also know though that there are a lot of phones coming out that will probably blow the phone away.

So what are you guys doing with the releases of HTC One series? Also, what about phones from other carriers?

I thought it would be good to hear some opinions because I am carefully considering the HTC One S with TMobile.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
The HTC One S looks like a nice device- the S4 seems to have mostly better specs than the quad core international version.

For me, however, it is missing a few things: microSD card and NFC. If it had more internal memory, then the microSD card would be a non-issue. If I am going get a new phone, then I would rather get a phone with newer features (NFC), rather than a slightly better phone than I have now. It would be like getting a phone that didn't have a front facing camera or bluetooth.

I like HTC phones, but I think the One S is a little too lean on features. I expect that there will be better phones later this year that have all the features I want.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
Yeah, what do you think about the Nexus?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
The Galaxy Nexus? That seems OK, but since the dual core S4 phones are announced, it seems a little dated. If I had to chose, I think I would wait for a better phone. If I was still running a donut rom on my G1, then the galaxy nexus or the One S would be an easy choice. But since I'm rocking my G2 with Audacity, I would rather wait for a phone that has all the features I'm looking for. Hopefully, T-mo will come out with a worthy phone in the G series.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
Do you know what phones are supporting the Snapdragon S4? I thought that was a long time away? I haven't been in the mobile phone circle for some time now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
That makes 2 of us.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

There are only a handful of phones and tablets that have been announced for the S4 - One s and XL, and EVO 4G LTE. At this point, my dream phone will be released late 2012. The S5 platform is a 28 nm process, so waiting for the S4 will have a lot of added value compared to the current state of the art 45 nm process.

For comparison, our beloved G2/DZ is a 45 nm SoC, while the Tegra 2 and 3 series are 40 nm processes. So 28 nm is the next milestone. Of course, process size is not the only measure of a phone, but I would use it as a benchmark to see how much of an upgrade you'll be getting.

I was pretty set on getting a One S, but the more I look into it, the more I want to wait for a bigger upgrade across the board. The one exception is size- the G2 is a great size and I don't won't to drift towards the phablet area. I want a cool phone, not a half-shrunken laptop.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Joe333x:
Im wonder why the G2 is still the last worthy qwerty phone tmo has had. It sucks because when i needed a phone the G2x had just come out and i was upgrading from mytouch slide. I love my G2x but i miss having a keyboard. Now i am due for a full upgrade and still tmo has no worthy qwerty phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
Yeah I am in love with the form factor of the G2. I also love the physical keyboard. I think a lot of users prefer that option, so I wish they would make more of these options available.

I do wish the G2 was a little bigger though. I don't think that phones like the Nexus or One X are too big, they are not the Galaxy Note after all.

I think I am going to hold off for the end of 2012 for multiple reasons. I will be more willing to upgrade then.

edit: I am actually waiting on TMobile to send me a replacement phone. Mine only boots in to the HTC screen and then never goes past. They offered me a Sidekick for free instead, but I don't know why that would be much better. I guess I research the ICS roms available and move that way until the end of the year. Thanks for the link, and the input.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
@gee_one the architecture doesn't really increase performance, at least not directly. It does lower operating temperature and power consumption, which may or may not allow for even more overclocking, and thus more performance.

@joe333x have you tried the htc doubleshot (branded as mytouch4g slide). It's a fast phone and perhaps a decent upgrade from the g2/dz. Although I think it'd be better to wait for a phone with the newer s4/tegra soc's.

[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
So if I read tech specs correctly, you want see much difference from the cpu the HTC One S offers and the phones in the next year or so?
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the One S is going to offer the Qualcomm S

4 Krait SoC, right? That's definitely going to last long enough till you upgrade.

Sent from my DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
You mean an additional 2 years?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The One XL (US AT&T version of the One X) has the S4, and that phone is speculated to be released in the next few weeks. Some folks on XDA are even hoping for an announcement this week, and a release date next week (4/22?). An early test device has already been benchmarked by an AT&T employee, and it smokes every other Android device around, including tablets:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Whippler:
if they come up whit One Z, and if it will look cool, might get.
[G2 and Desire Z General] javaman83:
I never thought I would say this, but I think I'll be able to live without the hardware keyboard. I won't qualify for the full upgrade subsidy until the end of September, and while the One S looks like a pretty nice phone, I'm much more interested in what Samsung is going to announce at the beginning of May. Then again, by the end of September, there may be something even better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
Yeah, I have full upgrade as of now, so I am trying to read up on the One S and the SGS3 for now. I think the lack of hardware keyboard will not be too much of a big deal, even though I will miss it. I do like that the SGS3 should be bigger, but overall I am interested in processing power and what will last the longest.

There is no information on who will receive the SGS3 is there? I have started to just live with the fact that there will be new, better technology in the mobile world every few months, so I may just be going with the One S. But Samsung will release more only a week or so after the One S release, so I may wait it out all the same.

Decisions, decisions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
At bare minimum, the krait will definitely last 2 years before it ends up in a DZ esque situation, performance wise, that is. Right now, it seems that it's the fastest chip around, and I really don't see a how android is going to need faster performing devices for the forseeable future.

The One S would personally last me 2 and a half, maybe 3 years. I'm guessing 2 years for the average joe. The krait is a very promising soc and will last for a while. Although, I'd still wait to see what else HTC is going to offer. Still hoping for a keyboard device, heh...

Sent from my DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yesshh:
Yeah, I am awaiting a keyboard phone also, but with my current financial situation I might need to hold off until the end of the year to see what they release and what the SGS3 looks like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
That is in fact the better course of action. Right now it's a really bad time to buy a smartphone..

Sent from my DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
I think the biggest draw for me will be stock ICS- when there is a new T-mo phone that has stock ICS, I'll be there. I can flex on the small things like sd card and physical keyboard, but Sense is a no-go.
[HD2 General] dr dish:
Hello

since more than one year I use android via sd and have magldr as boot loader to boot from sd, and had no problem ever, two days ago I installed "NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9-SD V1.5" on sd also I noticed that first time on setup I did set the time zone and everything correctly but when I restored the mail from backup I had an error because different versions, so I deleted and copied again , this time I was not able to change the time zone, but everything works fine at the mid of day rom begin to freeze so I pull out battery and re-insert and it work again , then it begin to freeze frequent, I did wipe task29 and reinstalled magldr I got back the old "HTC sensation boxmax9.0" one I have and also it begin to freeze, and noticed that always I get a warning about the time zone not right, and I was not able to change it , I mean I select from list but the phone don't accept it then it begin to freeze dramatically, and even the logo don't show I did hard reset then the logo shown but no start at all, I did again task 29 same prob not even a logo shown, I left it to the other day, I did task29 and installed an original rom from htc website "RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_India_3.14.720.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship" - because this one I can download when I put the serial of my mobile - , but always stuck at 0%, I left it till the night again task29 and original rom and it flashed 100% and the phone start completed setup then freeze after 10 min, and since then on white screen

what should I do, I tried to put on charger, even after a 30 min or so didn't start at all and the red light freeze still on even when I remove it from charge so I pull the battery out and it but stuck again on boot white screen even did a hard reset but also stuck on white

if there anything I can do I don't prefer to send it to repair.

Thank you
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that sounds like a hardware problem.
[HD2 General] dr dish:
i took it to repair center they told me that I must change the board and they don'y have one lol,

so I bring it back, after I put it on charger for a long time it turned on (weird) and I left it all night on charger as I read on a topic here and till morning I found it on and functional but when I begin to use it about 5 min it freeze again and back to the same problem.

I tried to wipe it task 29 but can't succeed on the phone said that 100% and finish normally but on pc the hd2 toolkit said error check image utility.

even when I try to install magldr it finish normally 100% on pc and 100% on phone and phone reboot but on the finish page (hd2 toolkit) same prob: error 270 update error - the image file is corrupted please check your update utility.

thank u

[HTC One X] batjnr:
Hi folks. Today I experienced a strange behavior with my phone. The physical touch buttons at the bottom of the screen stopped working. I have tried installing other launchers but that did not solve the problems. It seems like a hardware failure. Can anyone help with ideas to solve this issue? Thanks

UPDATE: I pressed all three buttons simultaneously and they now seem to work fine. Hope this is a solid solution.
[HTC One X] pranam:
Hi

I have the same problem with my device but pressing all 3 buttons simultaneously does not work.

What is the exact process you followed when pressing the buttons? were in you in a specific screen or app when you did this? or perhaps you held the buttons for an extended period?

Thanks
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Probably a general android bug, had this on my old nexus one and a reboot always sorted it
[HTC One X] batjnr:
do a factory reset(back up your stuff first) then if the buttons are still not working then try to press all of them at once. that should definitely work.
[HTC One X] pranam:
thanks but nothing seems to work. The bottom bit of the screen (just above the buttons) is also not working so I've sent it back in

hopefully i get a working one soon!
[HTC One X] restart_77:
i have the same problem with extras :(((

bottom buttons not working, none of the three. when i try to press back or menu, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes i press above, like menu at home page. And also when i try touching them after a while the phone gets crazy, and starts to make strange things like entering some apps, switching between them, taking screen shots (normally i do not know how to do it), beeping, and going on like this without stopping. if i can press power of, it stops, otherwise it goes on himself.

My device is original , original rom without root, or something else. i just install apps from market thats all.

Please help me, now i can not use my phone :(
[HTC One X] Nemesco:
I had a similar problem, it was a hardware fault.

Couldn't use the hardware buttons anymore and the 1st centimeter above the buttonskeys was living his own life.

Friday I brought my phone back (unlocked) to a HTC service center near me and today (Monday) !! I got it back, repaired with a new LCD screen (all under warranty).

The positive side is that I have no scratches anymore in my screen, 1st thing i'm going to do is buying a screen protector.:D
[HTC One X] hajaku:
Hi.

Same problem, physical buttons on bottom does not work.

The story:

Left my phone with my son for 3 days, came back, got phone back with buttons not working any more.

(Homer Simpson struggling Bart mode on).

Naturally, my son got no idea what happened etc.

Sent it back to HTC on warranty, they picked it up last friday, and I already got it back.

Reason for fault was water damage (got pictures attached from htc).

(Homer Simpson struggling Bart mode on).

UNREPAIRABLE as HTC states.

Problem is, buttons are ONLY thing which does not work. Everything else works fine, touchscreen, camera, etc etc.

As I went and read few forums, seems that there's some connection lost between physical buttons, and mainboard, is that correct?

Finally my question - If I will replace whole front panel (LCD + panel with buttons), would it be possible to make it work again?

Brand new complete front panels are like 40GBP on ebay...

(I will not be trying to replace buttons only, as I read, it is a bit more difficult...)

Help?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Install a ROM which has on screen buttons. You won't even notice the cap. buttons after a couple o' days especially if you switch off the lights.

And they are totally customizable - you can have up to 5 buttons if you want.

Cost: 0 (zero) GBP.

PS. Don't strangle your son LOL :)

Sent from my One X
[HTC One X] hajaku:
So thats one way of doing it, btw - which rom?

but i really would like to make buttons work... maybe I will risk those 40gbp and I will try to repair it....

[HTC Rezound] Bonetwizt:
Is there anything i need to know to minimize the shock of the adjustment? I'm just curious because the TB was epically developed for, rezound seems to be at a much younger place in the regard. Are there any other things i need to keep in mind?
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
you wont have much of a problem at all i feel... i had a Dinc and once u understand that u need to use amon ra recovery and the difference of using hboot to flash kernels i think u will be fine
[HTC Rezound] Bonetwizt:
So, if I am understanding the situation correctly, The three main things are:

Amon Ra is our recovery,

htc DEV to unlock is necessary (ie, your warranty is void)

Kernel through hboot (for now).
[HTC Rezound] djh816:
Just came over from a galaxy nexus myself but everything yojoe mentioned covered my initial confusion. The kernel through hboot really threw me off at first as in the past I had only ever used it for radio updates. As for dev scene, I came from an official google phone so I expected less development but as you stated it's really early for this phone anyways. Already though I'm loving the Sense based ICS roms (running cleanrom pro, personally) and Cyanogenmod 9 has made much progress if you are a fan (though no working ril yet).
[HTC Rezound] Bonetwizt:
Well i think everything will pick up for the rezound once the official ICS drops (devs can take it apart to learn how stuff works) and once S-Off is released.
[HTC Rezound] StinkyBurrito:
I just left the tbolt for the rezound. The hardest thing to get used to (and its not that hard to get used to) is flashing the kernels. Other than that, this phone slaughters the tbolt.

I started with the evo 4g, which is a great phone. (Has the biggest dev following out of all of the phones i've had, thats the biggest thing I miss about the 4g)..then to the evo 3d, very nice phone, just not as many devs.

Then to the tbolt, very nice phone...but a major step back after having the 3d for awhile.

Now I have the rezound...hands down best phone I've ever had.

1 thing to remember though, from what I have seen you don't want to upgrade to the ICS ruu....I almost did this to run some of the newer roms (the ones without the patch for gb) But I have someone strongly advise me against this due to people having issues with the ruu, then wanting to downgrade back to gb. But you can't downgrade back to gb after upgrading to the ICS leak.

Just do some research and you'll figure it out.

I always wait a week or so after getting a new phone and let it run stock so I can see what it is like before I root it. But thats just me.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
I'm actually glad I read this, as I was thinking about flashing the leak, and I hadn't seen that yet. I just flashed nils with the patch, so I don't want to be stuck on the leak if there isn't a way to downgrade yet.

OP, I went from the Tbolt to the bionic and now the rezound. So far I really like the rezound. Although I have only been using it for 2 days now, I do really like it. It seems like the main thing that is a "shock" to learn, so to speak, is the flashing for kernals compared to the Tbolt. But the trade off it ICS, which you couldn't daily on the Tbolt, or the Bionic. The bionic had a working RIL, but since you can't flash kernals there was no hardware acceleration or anything.
[HTC Rezound] Bonetwizt:
The locks on motorola devices is why i chose to stay with HTC. the TB was my first phone, but i think it was an awesome phone, just poorly supported by Verizon. My usb port is coming undone so i got a unused, new in box ReZound on ebay for 200 bucks (lucky auction). Lets just hope it doesn't have any issues hardware wise. Really cant wait to get the chance to run AOKP on this bad boy.
[HTC Rezound] Dancershrink:
The previous posts sum up the differences well. The hardware on the Rezound is a huge improvement. I flashed the leaked ruu and have had not problems, but most of the ICS roms now have patches so you don't have to.:)
[HTC One X] DikkeD:
hi guys,

On the development page is a really good mod which removes the ugly ICS dot menu button and replace it by long pressing the home button.

I really hate the dot buttton but what I don't like is that with this mod the multitask button is now relocated to long pressing the home button, because I'm very used to the multitask button being on it's original place.

So is there someone who can remove the ICS dot menu button and relocate is to long pressing the home button? (just switch the buttons from the original mod)
