I've thought about making this a post but it is a simple question.

When flashing rooms with TWRP I don't need to push the boot.img with cmd prompt right? Unless I'm using CWM, but it is recommend to use cmd prompt anyway right?

Also how am I sure I properly used cmd to push the boot.img?

[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
You don't need to use a command prompt with twrp recovery, it has the ability to flash image files providing they are in a zip with the flash image command inside updater script, however it won't do you any harm to flash it in fast boot too

It made a backup the very first time I tried and it worked fine. I used adb to flash the recovery.img. I was thinking about trying to restore my phone to the backup I have, then try from there again. I just don't want to lose all my personal customizations.

I got a question I used Hasoon2000's htc One x All in One kit by mistake to root my Htc one s. I unlocked the bootloader and flash a recovery Interim Custom CWM with no problem, but I mistakenly flash a kernel Stock 2.6.39.4 and now I'm stuck in bootloop. Is there a way to restore my phone the way it was or to get out from bootloop?

Oh and also I can't mount my sd card in recovery mode. it gives me an error for some reason.

Do you have a back up? Or do you know how to use adb?

How do a flash a boot.img and how can I know is the right boot.img ?
[HTC One S] brwetz:
The boot.img should be in the .zip file.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

^That's the command.

I got a question regarding HTC ONE S for tmobile. Anyone have wi-fi errors? I believe I may have started having issues when I was on stock and then went to OTA 1.84. At this point I should of gone to T-mobile to try to get it replaced but I ended up unlocking, rooting and trying various roms. All roms work fine except for bluetooth, wifi, hotspot, (basically anything wifi, bluetooth related). I ended up going back to 1.84 backup (rooted) made by CWM from another user. Before I relock and try to get it replaced in the T-mobile store. Anyone have any other suggestions on what I should do to get my wifi working?

I have always wiped - /cache/battery sats/ factory reset when I was trying different roms. I also loaded boot.img extracted from the .zip file of the custom rom that I flashed at that time.

I also checked the external cover over my sim card to check for damage, but it seems to be fine.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
It seems like you have tried all the possible steps to improve your signal !

the only thing i can think of what i dont think you have tried is a radio upgrade / downgrade, Its possible your radio was changed during the OTA and that could have been what caused it.
[HTC One S] mgkamiolo:
My dad has the same exact stock phone has no issues with the update. I did try a radio update 1.84 that i found on forums but I will try another one. I dont have to do anything special to downgrade the radio correct?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well you cant just flash it in fastboot like you would with a boot.img

However you can use fastboot to BOOT cwm recovery and flash it that way, It has to be in a .zip file with an updater script, Or you can use TWRP recovery instead.

I believe I may have done this but may have done it wrong. I will try again with a lower version of the tmobile radio. Thank you.

unlock branded htc one s (s4)

Hallo,

first of all thanks for the great dev work you are doing here. I want to unlock and root my phone with the All-In-One Toolkit 1.1 from Hasoon. I have a 1und1 (german isp) branded HTC One S (S4). Do you think it will work with my phone? What happens if it fails?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Yes it will work with your phone, However the AIO tool hasnt been updated for a while, So when it flashes recovery you might get a few errors now and then.

If you use it, unlock bootloader and flash CWM / TWRP in fastboot manually.

its fairly straight forward.

View internal storage on Mac

So, how does one go about viewing and pulling data from the internal storage such as pictures and music?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
Pulling them to your PC? Well, you can upload them to dropbox (or whatever service you would like to use). Then you can simply download them to your PC. Otherwise, you can plug your phone into your computer using the USB cord that came with the phone. You phone will prompt you if you would like to charge or to connect to the PC. If you connect to the PC, you will see all of your files that are stored on the SD Card. Simply copy them like you would a flash drive. When you're done, remember to go back into your phone and tell it to only charge (it will be in the notification bar). That will remount the sd card on your phone and then disconnect it from your PC.

If you want to view the pictures that are currently on your phone, you can use the gallery or download one of the many file system browsers apps that will allow you to browse the SD Card.
[HTC One S] mgkamiolo:
In the end I went to tmobile and had to pay 20 bucks to order a new HTC One S. Hopefully it wont get any wifi issues, and I wont be updating it or playing around with custom roms.
[HTC One S] brwetz:
Sounds like a possible device issue. I know the HOX had WiFi issues, have seen a couple customers with connectivity issues.

Custom ROMs are in our blood though ^_^

On Amazon Germany as of today in the ranks of the most sold articles in the area electronics:

HTC One X: Rank 128

HTC One S: Rank 116

It looks like the One S is the better seller in numbers, the fact that many here favored the X for whatever reason does not seem to be a very representative trend .
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
i think they favoured the One X before doing some research on it.

I almost made the same mistake, I instantly thought, 'Quad core is way better than dual core' But after some searching about i realised thats not always the case..

Im glad i chose the One S, I think it was the right decision IMO. I just wish development was as popular as the One X :(
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Yeah...impulse to be fair I looked at it but the screen size is tool big for me. You are right though when development begins it'll be interesting. Probably when devs upgrade. Or hopefully when a rom becomes multidevice

How do I reset the data stored in "My profile" in the people app?

When I auto-synced for the first time, the people app fetched data from my Google+, Google, and Facebook profiles.

Some of the these contact details are wrong, I deleted what I could delete from the aforementioned sites, and edited "my profile" on my phone deleting everything, but still has a lot of emails and phones I can't delete or correct :(

Of course I tried syncing again, to no avail.

Is there any way to clear / reset the "my profile" data? Even if I have to delete everything from the people app (ie all of my contacts), I don't mind...
[HTC One S] maddes1402:
First of all this thread is a great idea. I can´t decide between HTC One S or X.

Comapring both devices I was surprised when it was about the RAM. Both have 1GB but in Antutu benchmark the One X reaches twice the amount of points than the One S.

Okay....stupid benchmarks :p But what really surprised me was the task manager (first pic One X, 2nd One S).

Does anybody has an idea how it is possible that just some less MB RAM are reserved for the One X system while it is more than 300MB RAM for the One S? :confused::eek::confused:

Or do I evaluate something wrong?

Thanks :)
[HTC One S] undercover:
Free ram is wasted ram in Linux. So just don't worry about it.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
try to find the app 'my profile' under settings > apps > all apps. and delete the data.

or if your rooted, use titanuim backup and search for it there qnd do the same,, clear data.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Unfortunately no app with that name... :( I tried the same for the people app, but it only resets the app's settings...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I have similar issues, I have all my facebook contacts under 'phone' No matter how many times i remove them, un sync them, they keep coming back.

I specifically selected 'do not sync with contacts' when loading facebook.

Same goes with my calendar,, everyday is someones birthday lol

I can clear data from 'contacts storage' this is a temp fix, But other than that im not sure

Il get back to you about this, Im gonna try and find the culprit and clear the data for it.

Anyone else had a similar issue ? did you find a work around ? let us know !

Thanks
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Clearing contacts storage and resyncing solved my main problem, thanks.

Only the facebook details of my profile are a little out of sync, but I can live with that...

I also lost the connection of my fb contacts to the google contacts and have to redo it, which is weird since htc sense stores the required script for the connection in the notes field of the google contact, which should have been restored with the rest details after my last sync.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
see for me the issue is still there...

i have deleted contact storage... but after a sync they still there.. I can live with it because i just type the name i want to contact. but its a pain in the arse having like 300 contacts in my phone book lol.

anyway, glad it worked out for you :)
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Weird... I have no contacts under phone despite having facebook contacts synced with the 2nd option (sync with contacts that are already in the phone, or sth like that)

Try clearing data from contacts storage, people AND facebook...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
ive deleted them all. Ive unchecked sync contacts from facebook under accounts and sync. Ive been onto google contacts website and deleted all the ones i dont want.

rebooted my phone, they are still there lol

something is playing games with me

EDIT: Ive finally done it, I think 'google contact sync' was the culprit.. I cleared the data from that and they all disappeared :D

I unlocked my phone and flashed recovery via all-in-one-toolkit.

Now I have downloaded rom-manager it won't flash CMR and gives the error: 'an error occured while attempting to run priviliged commands.'

I know this a noobish question but what do I do now? Go back and flash recovery by a different means?

That's my first issue.

As a supplemental, obviously I managed to unock the bootloader using command prompt but when I now try to access C:/Android it keeps giving me an error message. I did download another version of CWM with a view to just reinstalling but get stuck at this point.
[HTC One S] bmilleker:
I just flashed my device with CM9, and I was wondering if I have to reinstall all my Google Play apps every time I do a new flash. I understand the app data will be saved to sdcard in most cases, but reinstalling apps can take a few hours.

If yes, are there backup utilities I can use to quickly get the apps back?
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Titanium Backup from the Play Store seems to be the most popular.
[HTC One S] Kom-Si:
doesn't matter. on a Mac your phone will show as an external drive, i.e. like any USB-drive for instance. just wait a few secs, let your Mac discover the new plugged-in storage, and proceed like you would with any other disk on your system.

NOTE: when you delete files on you phone (SD) Mac will place them into its trash bin. to completely remove deleted files it's recommended to empty trash before unplugging.

I currently have CWM as my recovery. I'd like to switch to TWRP.

Do I have to flash the stock recovery before I make the switch? Or can I go directly from CWM to TWRP?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
You can go direct. Just simply flash the image in fast boot

Swyped from my Galaxy Note - XDA App
[HTC One S] :
Did you root by installing SuperSU from PlayStore before attempting Rom Mgr

I don't use RM--you can try downlosding Goo-Mgr and installing TWRP thru it--open goomgr and tap on menu and select Install OpenRecoveryScript

Or recheck all drivers and make sure adb and fastboot work--once adb working type adb reboot bootloader to get to fastboot then fastboot devices to ok connection. Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" no quotes. Recovery.img must be exact name of recovery image. Check that by right clicking on the recovery image, which should be in your adb/fastboot folder, probably tools and click on properties and copy the exact recovery image name and paste to command window. I just think something is wrong in your adb/fastboot setup and/or commands.

[HTC One S] :
Crap. I wanted to make a backup up before I flashed some new stuff, so I booted into CWM and hit "backup". But now it's been stuck on "backing up .android_secure..." for around 10 minutes.

Is this normal? I'm afraid it's stuck.

Suggestions?

edit: After more waiting, I just ended up turning the phone off. It booted right back up, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
If you have a lot of apps and data installed a nandroid can take up to 30mins !! (in my experience)

if all seems well dont panic, Try another backup as it shouldnt power off, Dont keep the existing backup as its probably corrupted and wont help when you need it

Just to check...

Friends,

I have been reading the forums for the last two weeks because I want to get rid of the Orange branding on my One S, so that I can just run a WWE ROM (preferably with OTA updates).

So far I have managed to unlock the bootloader and install Koush's ClockworkMod Recovery and flash CyanogenMod 9.

From there I was hoping to flash the HTC stock ROM, but was unsuccessful. I got error 130, which I believe is an identity problem.

So as far as i understand the problem is my CID and what I would need to do is change this to HTC_001? My understanding is that once I have changed the CID I should be able to flash the HTC WWE RUU, Correct? So I ended up at this thread (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911), but that seems slightly advanced for me.

Is that the only way to get what I want? I know some people are trying to get S-OFF, will that make it easier to flash a HTC ROM?
[HTC One S] brathazgrimm:
How should I update from CM9 alpha 8.1 to alpha 14?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hey, Unfortunately that is the only way for now, It looks more complex than it is, You can just copy and paste the commands, The whole thing should take about 10mins or less.

And S-OFF would make it sooooo much easier, But it depends how long you want to wait ? There is no breaking discovery for S-OFF yet, so that means there is no ETA, To be honest, working on S-OFF has slowed right down because we can do pretty much anything we can do with S-OFF, albeit they take longer and are not as straight forward, But it works

Put alpha 14 on your SD card, Reboot into recovery and flash it, Then finish off by flashing the boot.img in fastboot (unless you have TWRP recovery)

I've been browsing xda for a year or two now and I've just gotten around to making an account so hello everybody!! I'm wondering if anyone has unlocked the bootloader on a linux machine because I'm having complications with using "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command. I keep getting "fastboot: command not found ", when I try to use it. Obviously I'm on fastboot usb with my phone and I made fastboot executable by chmod a+x command. Thanks.

P.S. I'm using linuxmint 12
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
Run fastboot as root.
[HTC One S] AO.Zerosource54:
I've tried already but it gave the same error, thanks.
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
in the terminal, browse to the directory where fastboot is located:

cd /path/to/fastboot [enter]

If you have spaces in the path, you use quotes around the full path. Then run:

sudo ./fastboot [enter]
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Sorry if this has been asked before. I've been reading and am slightly confused about TWRP. It gives you the ability to flash boot.img's in recovery. Isn't that basically S-OFF? With this, what is the point of S-OFF? Thank you, and sorry for the silly question :p.
[HTC One S] AO.Zerosource54:
ahhh thank you so much I didn't think of doing that!! All I did was cd /path/to/fastboot and then typed in the command while being sudo. That's the trick!!! sudo su /path/to/fastboot oem get_identifier_token

Re:

So I don't need to wipe system cache or memory or any of that?
[HTC One S] brathazgrimm:
Nvm I figured it out. I'd like to flash the touchscreen fix img how do I do this?:p
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Its not a silly question, Its had me puzzled in the past too, With S-OFF there are a lot more benefits, You could for example, Flash a different HBOOT, Or downgrade using an RUU, change CID with 1 simple command, However, We can do pretty much all this with the many workarounds we have so S-OFF isnt so important any more, Albeit everyone would still like to have S-OFF but the community has lasted without it.

What does it say in the ROM thread ? All instructions should be there, Some ROMs have completely different install / upgrade methods. If its a .zip file I assume you will flash it through recovery.
[HTC One S] Alie360:
Hi, i'm new to the forums, i had a stock tim branded rom on my htc one s with ugly icons and useless apps so i searched how to flash a stock rom but found out that it's impossible without an "s-off", i didn't understand very well what's this "s-off"...

Can anyone explain it to me?

I also don't get why i can install a custom rom (i'm running TrickDroid 5.1) but not a villa stock one...
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
To flash any custom ROM (AOSP, Trickdroid, etc.), you must unlock your bootloader (this will void your warranty) and root your phone. You do not need S-Off to install custom ROMs.
[HTC One S] Alie360:
I understand and have already done that, but why can i flash a custom rom and not a stock villa one like any other custom rom without s-off?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
There is nothing stopping you from flashing a stock ICS ROM. The closest thing we have is CM9 which is in alpha and might be a little unstable.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Thanks, that cleared stuff up a lot! So really S-off isn't necessary right now.
[HTC One S] :
The biggest advantage for most of us would be in the hboot that azzledazzle mentioned, where we could then change our partition sizes to get more data partition that will help with the low internal data memory we have now
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Oh. Well I had less than an 8GB SD card on my last phone, so I don't have that much stuff :p. Thanks for the help everyone.
[HTC One S] :
may misunderstand and don't know the internal tech reason--but

if you are running TD 5.1 you can run any CUSTOM Rom which CM9 is. But, if you want to flash pure stock, RUU or a Nandroid of one (?), you will need to reflash the stock recovery

Ken
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Couldn't he just flash a stock rooted nandroid without needing stock recovery?
[HTC One S] :
maybe--haven't done much research on that, just quick scans of posts--but i think i did read that as an option to get back to stock to flash an ruu--don't think the nandroid will return everything like the radio, if seding phone in--not 100% sure though

don't know why I would root, flash custom roms then want stock--:)

unless returning phone

i thought i would do just that with this phone, since I "thought" i was flashed out on my N1 after 2 years of intensive flashing

just wanted root for Nandroids and Titanium

i was wrong--could not resist the pull of trying custom roms again--:)
[HTC One S] Alie360:
I had a branded rom, so i wanted a clean install of a PURE STOCK rom without extra apps & stuff that the carrier installed in my phone.

If i flash the stock recovery wouldn't my phone reinstall the branded version of my rom?

For the s-off i was just curious about what it means as i've read that term many times :)
[HTC One S] :
I believe so, that is why we root to get rid of the apps

Oops, accidentally hit thanks instead of quote--helps your count--;)
[HTC One S] brathazgrimm:
I figured that out as well actually it was an img. It didn't actually fix the touch screen problems though. I'm thinking about changing my rom but I don't wanna lose my data. Help?
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Backup using titanium backup and SMS backup and restore (if you care about SMS.)

I have a question of my own - I read somewhere that TB could backup your homescreen. Is this possible, and if it.is, where is the option?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
just back up HTC Sense (the one with icon that looks like the home screen) and restore that

I need help

ok, so i have a one S. I unlocked it and installed recovery. then I erased all of the partitions. Now I can get into recovery and I can even push a zip file to the internal memory of the phone, but I cannot get my recovery program to recognize any zip file that is not on the sd card. Since this phone does not have as SD card I cannot load anything. I am thinking that maybe if I load an RUU from my pc it might work, but I cant find any.

ANY IDEAS????

question

Hello. I found a guy who sells a HTC One S and he says that the phone has the processor of 1.5 Ghz but on the box it's written z560e (that means that is the S3 processor). Is that possible? If there is the S3 processor, than it must be at 1.7 Ghz, right? :)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
S3 = 1.7ghz - S4 = 1.5ghz

Is the phone brand new ? if its used, he could just have a different box, you'd be surprised how many people sell empty boxes lol
[HTC One S] prophet.:
Yeah, i know that s3 means 1.7 ghz, but i was intrigued. He says that the phone is all brand new, sealed in his original box. Maybe he just made a mistake, because he showed me a picture with the box and it is z560e, so it's a s3 with 1.7 ghz. That sucks :|

P.S.: does it worth to wait to find a htc one s with s4 processor?
