I unlocked my phone with HTCdev, installed TWRP via adb, and used it to install SuperSU.

Now, will I have to reflash recovery everytime I want to use TWRP, or am I not doing something right?
[HTC One S] wobblezd:
ya i did do that no reply yet at this point i am reaching out to anyone
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
You should not need to.

Make sure you actually flash the recovery image and not just boot into it.

This:

fastboot flash recovery your_recovery.img

Not this:

fastboot boot your_recovery.img

-Jobo

Thanks. That's the command I used. Seems like it just kind of works when it wants to...

Problem with my One S

Hey

First day at xda ....

I had recently got a HTC One S (T-mobile, unlocked) ....

One major issue is that the FACTORY RESET won't work ....

Tried it from the settings & from the hboot screen as well ...

The phone merely restarts .... all apps & data remains as it is ....

Secondly, the software update ....

It worked one time .... and after that whenever i try to update the software ....AGAIN, the phone merely restarts ....

Any views .... REALLy need to sort out my phone.

Thanks Already !!!

The factory reset from bootloader (hboot) will need the stock recovery to work.

Download the all-in-one toolkit

Download the stock recovery from here https://dl.dropbox.com/s/2kv0b1iir127ev4/recovery.img?dl=1

Place the file into the /recoveries directory where ever you installed the all in one toolkit

then you should be able to use the factory reset from bootloader.

Howdy, the HTC One S is a great phone but there is soooo many things to learn from all different angles and most things seem hard to find direct answers to with searching. Anyway i hope someone can help me here, I am not sure how the ROM base/versions work. I downgraded to hboot 1.06 and am on 2.31 base, can I flash any base ROM like Zarboz 3.16 or do I have to run different RUU's whenever i want to change the base version to match base versions? Please explain how this works it will be greatly appreciated!
[HTC One S] shahoai23:
Hep me please

First day on XDA, I was going through the process of installing a custom ROM on it. I Rooted the phone, got CWM on it, and have the zip files on my phone for the ROMs. The thing is it only boots into CWM. I was reading in another thread this is probably due to me at some point setting my boot partition to CWM, but I was not sure how to fix it. Any and all help would be appreciated also in very descriptive steps. Still getting the hang of all this ha.

My phone won't go into a recovery

I have unlocked it, but every time i go into recovery to do the perm root, my phone just restarts.I keep watching videos and i still cant get it right. the recovery flash never opens.
[HTC One S] gourd:
downgrade/unbrick

So I've gone through the entire process to step 9, restoring hboot. Yesterday when I tried it it successfully went through the entire hboot flashing process and then froze up. I assumed it was because I was running ubuntu from a livesd and took that time to install ubuntu on my hard drive proper.

Today when I start that I stall on 'waiting device /dev/sdg12.....'

I have tried holding the power button and it resets in the other terminal but the flash doesn't start. I have tried swapping it into different usb ports but I generally get either 'please connected device' or something about blacklists. I tried the line that resets it but it doesn't seem to register in the flashing terminal.

It also seems to spend a lot of time blinking in and out of existence on my monitoring terminal, I'm not sure if that's normal.

Can't post in the actual thread because it's in development.

edit: I have also restarted my computer and redone the entire process more than ten times and tried every port on the computer. It's ubuntu 12.10. I'm not sure what other information to give. :)
[HTC One S] dc211:
If I were you I'd go post some random crap around XDA until you hit 10 post and get into that development thread. The unbricking is a pretty specific process. I'll try and help I've done it myself but you'd be better off in that thread.

You should start at back at "Enumerating your partitions" again just to make sure you get the right sd*.

You said yours was sdg? G is pretty far along do you have a lot of hard drives or something? Either way just make sure the next time you do it that you double check.

In that first window when the phone resets do you see "Qualcomm. Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem" go away? If you don't have you tried

$ sudo ./emmc_recover -r

I think mine got stuck kinda like yours and I just went back up higher on the steps starting at step 5. I've also seen reports that some USB chipsets in computers just don't work well with the process you might want to try a different PC if you have one. Also try a different USB cable.

[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
Why does The One S use up so much storage space? I barely have anything on it, no music yet and barely any pictures and I am left with about 3gb out of a supposed 16gb. Is there any tricks or tweaks or advice on how to alleviate this? It's quite disturbing to say the least lol.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

Also I can't understand the skin/theme. I am used to themes that theme everything, the dialer, contacts statusbar and all. I like black backgrounds it saves on battery rather than the bright white backgrounds and can't find any themes like we have with the Nexus phones or other Android no Sense phones. I love my One S but I think this might be the biggest thing that bothers me. We have all kinds of skins and things but everything no matter what still has a stock look it seems. I know I have to learn how to make my own themes but I haven't had time yet. I mainly need an all hot pink theme for my niece. I have it halfway themed but her dialer is still ICS Blue, settings and other things are still white and the status bar only has stock like icons, I am just wondering is it possible to have everything themed dark with the other color of choice like Hot pink. I apologize for sounding like i am ranting and I am not explaining myself well I am just looking for the best advice to help me know my possibilities. I know I can flash an AOKP type ROM but then we lose the Good Sense camera I suppose. I guess with the new Jellybean, the camera is a little better in aokp but won't be as good or close to competing with the Sense camera unless we get JellyBean 4.2.1 with photosphere camera, maybe then it will be worth switching to AOKP. As far as theming I would like to know if there are any true Themes, where it themes everything and we can pick out which color we like. Sorry if I sound like I am complaining, it is just kinda disappointing. I probably shouldn't even open my mouth, just keep working and searching til I find out what I need but it's too late I already typed all of this lmao. Thanks to all who contribute to this great phone, it seems this is a great time for the HTC One S and look forward to seeing how far we can go. I wish I knew how to do these things i would love to be able to help contribute. I guess my main question is are there any fully themed themes and if so is the market the best place to get them or will I have to make them myself or can you point me in the best direction? I see a ton of $2 themes in the market but none of which theme everything. I don't mind paying I just want a good dark theme for my HTC One S and a good Hot pink theme for my niece. I will figure it all out eventually, it just seems there is so much information about so little. But I am just happy we do have some development here and the downgrading of our hboot and things make it look a little promising. Thanks guys. Oh and then I just read somewhere that we are losing Zarboz, that doesn't sound good.
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
This is the kind of theme I am used to and my niece used on her nexus s, absolutely everything is themed, calculator, contacts and all.
[HTC One S] evilRafael:
I'm not sure how to help you, but I know this: the HTC One S has got to be the device with the ****tiest image compression in the market. The camera is "okay", a little worse than my Xperia neo's, and the photos take twice as much space or more. It might be the same with videos.

I think the clean system alone takes a lot of space (it reserves 2.34gb for itself).

And finally, as with all devices, 16gb doesn't really mean 16gb. In my particular case it actually means precisely 12.27gb (look up your storage). Maybe 12.27gb is something close to 16,000,000,000 bytes? Perhaps but then why not call it 12.27gb instead? Hell if I know. Perhaps if people started sueing the smart ass companies for trying to pass 12gb as 16gb they would think twice next time.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
10.6 GB is your 'sdcard'

2.5 GB is your apps and user data

(Only these two are 'yours'.)

1.7 GB system

0.3 GB cache

Rest = sbl, radio, hboot, recovery, and such stuffs.

So technically, there is (almost ;)) 16GB, but less than 13GB is yours, and even that bit is split into two. Anyway, it is not because of the difference between 16*10^9 (16.000.000.000) and 16*2^30 (17.179.869.184).

Funny story, i woke up one day and wanted to check the time but couldn't, cause my phone had died just like that. Tried plugging it in but it didn't even hook up the power, cause the led even didn't start glowing not talking about being able to turn the device on :) sent it to the support center in riga. Waiting it to come back now.

What could have happened?

Has any1 any idea how this could have happened?

I do treat my phone with great respect :)

Whuch RUU?

Hey,

im in need of some quick help. I need working RUU with these details:

cid: HTC_Y13

hboot 2.15.0000

radio 1.11.50.05.28

E: Also I live in Finland, EU.

I have already tried a lot of ruus but none seems to be working. My processor must be S4 if I have already installed Dark Jelly S Edition and JellyBam, right?

www(dot)htcruu(dot)com/?dir=Ville I have tried some these but when installed it gives always the 132 error, which implies that the ruu is wrong. E: Also while installing it says the source is always 3.16.401.8. What does that mean?

Any working RUU will do because I really need my phone tomorrow.

E: Btw I re-locked my phone etc and in bootloader it says tampered, relocked and security warning. Is there something wrong because of the security warning?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] hunabku:
Try using astro file manager to find & open the files, or try copying the apk files where you can find them.
[HTC One S] :
Make sure under Settings/Security Allow 3rd party apps is checked. Or adb push them.

Can't get out of cwm recovery

Hey guys I need some help. I'm usually able to find answers to all my problems because they've already been answered, but for once, I'm stumped.

I can't seem to get my One S out of CWM recovery. Every time I try to reboot, the screen will flash briefly a couple times, and will come right back to cwm. I can't access the bootloader screen, and cant mount my sd card (error given is: "Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory"). I think I may have caused this by not first flashing boot.img via fastboot before flashing trickdroid. I followed all steps to root without a problem (not my first phone rooting).

I'm not quite sure what else to try at this point. Since I can't access bootloader screen, I can't use fastboot. I can adb push files to my device, though.

Any help/suggestions you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. tHanks in advance.

UPDATE: After what seemed like the 100th time I tried to restart the device, it finally booted normally. Not sure what caused it, but the device works fine now.
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
Your hboot is 2.15 which means you have recieved a Jelly Bean update. We do not have a Jelly Bean RUU yet. You cannot flash an RUU unless the hboot on your phone is either equal to or less than the one in the update. If you want to flash an older RUU, you will need to go to the dev forums and do a bootloader downgrade. You will also need to hex edit a particular partition on your phone too. You will have to read through the dev thread on this (it is a stickied post over there).

The source is the htc software number it seems. Thats just the base version of the SENSE rom and actually relates to the Jelly Bean version of the SENSE ROM that is already on your phone (from the JB OTA update you likely accepted).

If you run into issues with a corrupted sd card in the future and cant access bootloader there is one other method to format the sd card http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

Its a handy post I made in case you ever are flashing ROMs again and for some reason they corrupt your sd card and it needs to be formatted.

downgrade to 4.0.3

Hi,

If I update my HTC One S C2 to 4.0.4 via RUU can I downgrade it back to 4.0.3 afterwards ?

Thanks
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
You can downgrade, but only with some technical steps being taken along the way. You will need to root your phone, follow the bootloader downgrade method in the development forums (which requires a linux interface, can be easily done though by running linux off a usb stick), and then hex edititng a particular partition (also mentioned in the same development thread).

So yes, it is possible, but its harder to do than a straight upgrade. This is because RUUs generally wont flash older info on top of the newer stuff. Your hboot version for example generally has to be less than or equal to the one in the RUU
[HTC One S] bogdangabriel:
Thank you for your answer. In this case I know that if I update to a new version I have to stay with it...
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
No problem. You may feel that way now, but spend a few months on these forums and you may find that one day you feel 100% comfortable with hboot downgrades, hex editing, and generally flashing all sorts of cool stuff :)

Click around on the development forum as much as you can. Its cool!

Once you can mount an SD Card, you can copy a ROM, and then flash, and go from there.

Hi I've been searching around and I'm a little stuck.

My wife (who is Chinese) has a Chinese version of the One S (just bought it) on the back it says Z2560e but for the life of me I have no idea if its a S3 or S4 chip.

It currently has Jelly bean on it but I screwed it up and for some reason some of the apps on the rom wont work anymore.

I'm downloading this rom:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_VILLEC2_U...11.20.24_M_release_303237zzidki5gzxfkv5gs.zip

That's the Taiwan one (she needs Chinese) for the S3 as I'm assuming its an S3.

I can still install apps on the phone and access it in JB. (btw its a stock rom).

Any ideas how I should continue please?

Thanks

On the phone under software it says 4.1.1 4+ 1.0.0.Z560e 4.65 HTCExtension_Sense45_5. Kernel 3.4.10-g94f358 root@abm009 #1 Baseband 16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_M Build: 3.17.1400.100 CL146701 release-keys

Hello all devs, i just aquired a HTC One SV is what it says under Phone identity. I got it from a Cricket Dealer who was liquidating!! So all that bizz out of the way is it still pretty much the same as this one, The HTC One S?? Can i root it with the info in this forum?? I am not a newbie I have flashed may phones before. I have used all kinds of tools like QPST, CDMA and the like. I am just looking for a pretty definitive answer before i proceed so I dont brick this thing. If I am in the wrong forum just point me in the right direction. If this is where I am supposed to be then Great.

Hi guys,

I'm very interested in rooting my one s (the whole waiting for T-Mobile to give me Jelly Bean thing just wasn't working out) and I had a couple of questions. This seemed like the place! If anyone could help me out that'd be great. I tried searching a bunch of things, but I'm not sure what has become recent or not. Thanks for the help!

1) I have Windows 8, and my phone isn't recognized (at least in device manager) like it was on Windows 7. How can I fix this, or am I just stuck with waiting until HTC gives out new drivers? I looked around and tried to use some Windows 7 workaround I found either here or on another thread, but it didnt work. I like having it plugged in because I can get internet pass through, and sometimes my wifi can be spotty whereas my ethernet is super fast (I'm at a uni).

2) Obviously I'll follow the rooting threads and such, and they seem pretty self-explanatory, which is great. I'm planning on using Cyanogenmod, just because it seems to be the most widely used. Are there any other ROMS I should be seriously considering other than Cyanogenmod?

3) I know Sense sucks and stuff but what exactly will I lose by rooting (with regards to Sense features)? Like my main worry is how the camera (which I think is pretty cool) has the continuous shooting feature and the shoot while taking video feature. Will I lose that?

and lastly 4) is there a way (assuming the windows 8 drivers thing gets fixed) to just backup the phone as is now, before I unlock the bootloader? Or does it really matter in the scheme of things?

Thanks again!
