yes it is bell mobility canada..

for the nandroid, copy it to your sd card and restore it in recovery

i forgot about your sd card problem.. you might want to run the ruu and make the changes after it... try to get your phone in a working state first.. bugs and issues we can iron out. we just need it booting
[HTC One S] kmao2004:
Thanks for the tip, but I am stuck. I tried the first step and get the error "unknown partition 'Rom_xda.zip" Error: cannot determine image filename for 'Rom_xda.zip'

I moved on to the RUU, but I cannot push it to the phone because error:device not found. The computer does not recognize the phone anymore.

What can I do now?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
does your PC make any noise when you attach USB ??

can you boot into bootloader?
[HTC One S] purpstar:
ok now im having trouble with extracting the RUU.. it simply isn't working.. i cant find the appdata file and the process monitor way isnt finding anything either.. what am i doing wrong..

Edit: Nevermind.. Figured out the problem..
[HTC One S] kmao2004:
No noise and yes I can get to bootloader.
[HTC One S] :
Picked up One S tonite and unlocked bootloader, did not see any "tampered" but said "unlocked" on bootloader screen.

1. Didn't see a reboot/power off option on bootloader screen (not hooked to pc) so I booted into recovery and got the red triangle with exclamation mark. That should identify stock recovery. But, it just stayed there then rebooted to lock screen.

2. How do you get to stock recovery screen/options from the triangle?

3. Been dragging some items from my N1 nandroid to sdcard. Movies/Pics/Ringtones etc. It is a little weird not having an sdext and a2sd.
[HTC One S] purpstar:
How do I get the text file in the RUU to stay..
[HTC One S] iKarusOne:
Lol thanks for replying yeah it was the exact same hardware, it was pretty such a consumer phone that got the IMEI put on a list of phones used for demos.

Anyways, did the factory reset blind (felt like Daredevil with a smartphone xD) three times and nothing happened. Ran out of time to play with it because the District manager swung by the store and took it lol. And is RUU to HTC as sbf to Motorola and odin tar/pdf to Samsung?

Thanks again!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
When in bootloader. What happens when you connect USB ? Does fastboot come on, and does adb recognise phone in this state ?

I dont think its possible to access the stock recovery like you would CWM, I think it requires certain things, Ive never been able to access it on The One S, or the Sensation.

If you have unlocked you may as well flash CWM recovery.. Much more useful that stock.. it can be removed too !

extract the rom.zip, modify the android-info.txt, and then repackage it and continue with RUU. Im sure this is how its done ?? You have to have phone connected and follow the instructions until you reach the begin process, Thats when you extract and modify.. DONT START UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THIS!

RUU is ROM Upgrade Utility - the same as you would get when upgrading something like a sony ericcson or a nokia... Only more advanced, because the phone is more advanced..

Cant flash recovery

I'm absolutely desperate.

I have the bootloader (when i start in bootloader mode my phone says ***tampered*** and also ***unlocked***.

BUT

I've been 2 days trying to flash my recovery on my htc one s from my macbook, and after i use the command prompt to get to the folder where i have adb, fastboot, my recovery .img file,etc... this is what happens:

-----

MacBook-Pro-de-Alejandro:platform-tools alexjuanes$ fastboot flash recovery r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img

-bash: fastboot: command not found

MacBook-Pro-de-Alejandro:platform-tools alexjuanes$

please some help?
[HTC One S] purpstar:
I keep getting error 156 or Not Implemented and file not updated.. I'm doing as it and you say.. am I missing something..
[HTC One S] kmao2004:
The computer does not recognize the phone at all. ADB cannot find the device either.
[HTC One S] undercover:
Fastboot command on Mac should be : fastboot-mac

flash bla bla bla..... (-mac is the important bit)

Ok, you need android drivers. Go to www.revolutionary.io and get drivers from tutorial.

Azzledazzle, you can get into stock recovery by holding +vol and pressing power button ;)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Haha that's why I've never been able to get in to it lol.
[HTC One S] purpstar:
How do you get the edited text file to stick..
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Your in r/w mode yeah?
[HTC One S] purpstar:
When editing the text in the RUU file.. it says not implemented every time I try to change my cid..
[HTC One S] arknailed7754:
Do you extract then repackage...I'm jumping in on the conversation here...there's no reason you shouldn't be able to modify whilst not actually doing anything and contents unzipped
[HTC One S] purpstar:
Extract with 7zip, modify the txt file, rezip with 7zip, replace rom.zip in temp folder with rezipped one.. correct?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
just edit it without extracting it
[HTC One S] purpstar:
When I edit the android-info text file and save it and x out it asks do I want to modify the archive.. when I click OK it says not implemented then can not update file..
[HTC One S] purpstar:
Do I need to re-lock the bootloader in order for this to work..
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I dont get why your having these error, Its possible you may need to relock the bootloader.. Try the command ''fastboot oem relock'' then try again..

Also Whilst i am here, Does anyone else here have, under settings / mobile network ''disconnected because the service is unavailable'' ?? i have it all the time even with full signal.

see the screenshot. thanks.
[HTC One S] purpstar:
No luck.. This is all I get using windows file explorer and 7zip..
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
are you extracting it, Then modifying it, then putting it back in the correct folder ?
[HTC One S] purpstar:
I tried extracting the rom.zip to modify the text file and I tried just extracting the text file but both ways when I try to update the archive I get not implemented.. when I double click the rom.zip I get file invalid..
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
maybe its a bad download then, Especially if your getting errors just trying to open it !

I cant think of any more solutions, Head over to webchat.freenode.net and join channel #helpmenow

some of my mates from the sensation are there and they know quite a lot about HTC in general, perhaps they can help you with this
[HTC One S] purpstar:
OK.. thanks for the help thus far.. :cool:

ROMs and losing data

When I flash a ROM, do I always lose everythin' from the phone's memory? I mean, do I always have to set-up HTC/Google/Dropbox/etc. accounts, configure settings and restore my SMS's and so forth?

Or is there any way to keep settings, accounts and all the other stuff?
[HTC One S] undercover:
Depends. If you do a full wipe (it is required more often than not) you'll have to start from scratch. If toi flash rom over the top, ie without wipe, settings will stay.

To backup Apps use titanium backup app from the market, for SMS SMS backup from the market, a lot of settings will be restored when tou sign in to google. Not sure if accounts can be backed up though.

Rooting

Hi,

I'm all new to the rooting stuff. I had an iPhone for 3 years, but I decided to switch teams because for every little thing of themeing and stuff I had to jailbreak and the OS wasn't what it used to be anymore for me and go for a more open approach; Now I bought myself an HTC One S and since I am new to this. I have a few questions:

Is it like a jailbreak and will it delete all my data on the phone if I root it?

Will I lose my warranty?

What is the easiest way to root my HTC One S on a mac? Or do I need a Windows PC (since I have that too)

What is the best guide too rooting?

What are the main advantages of rooting?

Thank you for taking your time to read and maybe reply to these questions, thank you :)
[HTC One S] GerBBAR14_c:
Thanks a lot!!!!!!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
1- It will (correction) delete your data. But when you flash CWM recovery, Make a nandroid backup and keep a copy on your PC

2- you wont lose warranty as long as you return to Stock ROM and Recovery And relock bootloader

3-The easiest way is Hasoon2000's tool - Its in the development section, Or link is in my FAQ section (3rd post, 1st page) Double check to see if it works with Mac - Otherwise use windows.

4-There are a few guides in development, Its a simple process and the tool above with do all the hard work

5-There are many advantages of having root, depends on what you use for the phone, It allows you to use a lot of apps that require root, such as Titanium Backup (a must have for flash-a-holics) and apps like AdAway and many many others.

Hope this helps :)
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
Ok I have an issue trying to Flash a boot.img.

I was trying to flash AOKP and one of the steps says Flash boot.img.

Well I extracted the boot.img, flashed the ROM in CWM then went into Fastboot mode and tried running the boot.img and installer by double clicking the .bat file and it just sits there saying waiting for device. But If I flash the ROM without doing the boot.img everything works fine.

Is the boot.img needed? what am i missing. i searched the thread and found answers that were close but nothing definitive.
[HTC One S] :
@DevliegereM

just a follow up

you will lose your data when you unlock your bootloader, which will be your first step in rooting and flashing custom recovery

best to unlock before too much on phone--can use MyBackUp Pro to save alot though
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
if you have 0 errors without the new boot.img i would just leave it..
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
Damn :(

Thanks a lot, it really helped me! :). Going trough this as soon as possible and hoping on a rooted phone :D. Too bad I had all my music and agenda's, apps on it I already wanted :(

Thank you, but as of this moment, I have so damn much on my phone, but heck. It can easily be replaced once I have the time to root it! :D

Thanks!

How can I find out what baseband version my phone is running?

And can someone clear this out for me: is it the phone or the ROM or somethin' else, which is "running" the baseband?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
settings > about > software information > more

I dont quite know what you mean about the second part.. The Phone and ROM and Kernel all use the baseband. Im not sure of its location as its used by almost everything that requires a signal.. But flashing ROMs does not change the baseband.......yet
[HTC One S] GerBBAR14_c:
OK! Thanks!

But what does it mean that some ROM is built upon a certain baseband?

How can you update the baseband?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
There isnt a ROM built on a certain baseband, there are ROMs built on a certain RUU that maybe contains a newer baseband...

You cant flash radio.img's with out having S-OFF, Unless you receive it via an OTA or in an RUU

There is a thread in the development section with a method on how to get the updated baseband without S-OFF, but the OTA has to be available for your device for it to work.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Do you not have unlocked bootloader already then ??

Check out this thread http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...zZTmAw&usg=AFQjCNFPNfd7Par7Zum682xt1U5Q_ud0CA Some people have sucesfully managed to get root via this method, without unlocking bootloader and without flashing recoveries... And it wont wipe your data either !!
[HTC One S] :
Good luck
[HTC One S] GerBBAR14_c:
Allright!
[HTC One S] undercover:
As azzledazzle said, if it works - leave it be. For a future reference. Newer recoveries have a workaround so you don't have to flash boot.img manually, but shall you ever have to do it just use command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

In fastboot mode. boot.img has ro be placed in the same folder as adb.
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
Thanks

Thank you, both of you. I was still planning on wiping my phone though. This is just a start on getting to know the phone and stuff. I don't mind the data being wiped, I was just curious if there was a way to do it without wiping it.

And it seems that it is for the one x, you sure it will work for the one s?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yes people have used it on the One S.. look for proof in the general section.. You can root that way, Make a backup using Titanium, then wipe... that way you have all your apps and data backed up :)
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
Ok, nice, will try it now :D Hoping it will work! :D fingers crossed :D
[HTC One S] DevliegereM:
SUCCES!

Eureka, My rooting has been succesfull! :D

I am now running a rooted HTC One S with the Black Dragon Custom ROM. Wow, much easier then it looks like. Struggled a bit getting the phone in bootloader but hey, it works like so much better then sense :D
[HTC One S] Vivimagic:
Question on restoring phone as stock.

As stated by on this post (and might I add a great post it is) would the RUU restore the phone completely for example s-on est? Anyone successful in restoring fully? Thanks
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
RUU will restore you back to stock, Meaning Stock ROM, Stock Recovery And removing ROOT... It WILL NOT put S-ON (if you have S-OFF)
[HTC One S] pimacolown:
If i use RUU to go back on Stock (because maybe i habe to give my phone back to HTC) do i have to go to stock recovery before? Or can I just run the exe?

thx
[HTC One S] undercover:
Just run ruu, it will replace everything for you.

complete action using

Hello,

My phone will not prompt me "complete action using" for anything. IE maps, YouTube, yelp, It is super annoying. I have tried uninstalling/re-installing apps, different browsers, factory reset, and some apps that manage apps. and it still won't prompt. This is my first phone with ICS and sense. Please help me.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
have you found these apps under settings and pressed the 'clear defaults' buttons ??
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
Yes I have tried that too. Can someone please confirm that their phone prompts them complete action using.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I confirm mine does on apps that have no default...

Try a wipe and test a stock app before restoring your apps.. If it still fails then we can look a bit deeper into the cause,

By the way, which ROM are you using and is this a known bug ?
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
I did another wipe and it still won't prompt. I have stock rom 1.53.531.16710rd
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hmmm. Has it always been like this ? it sounds like a bug in the ROM, have you thought about using a different ROM ? There are several custom ROMs out there, Some are stock clones too, but with added tweaks incase you like the stock feel
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
I just got off the phone with htc again and i was told this is the way it is. and there is no way around it
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Thats bull****... If i see a video on the browser (stock or Chrome) i click it and i have the option to view it in the youtube app or via the browser...

Try another ROM, if that doesnt work send the fcuker back !!!
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
Ok I am at t mobile playing with their in store model, I dl yelp went to browser clicked a yelp review and it opened the mobile help site, it did not prompt complete action using wtf?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well it must be the actual app then, It has no option to open in the yelp app only option to open in browser... i thought you had this problem with ALL apps ??
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
It did the same when I clicked maps and YouTube videos from the browser It went straight to mobile site
[HTC One S] gregdreg:
It seems I am not the only one having this problem.

I can confirm that this does not happen

To me. Seems to be only affecting TMobile users. Which tells me it's a bug in the TMobile ROM
[HTC One S] dragonblade1214:
Hi there, I was wondering if there was any RUU that is compatible with the US ver. of the HTC One S? I just only wanted to get rid of the "tampered" message on my phone.

Also, my phone is labeled as "relocked" at the moment. Is there a way to re-unlock it again?

And lastly, this whole thing started with the "tampered" message. Given that you can still flash custom ROMs under the condition that your phone only needs to be unlocked, is there any harm with the message in the first place?

Thank you for answering!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well all ROMs are universal, which means they run on any version of the One S.. So you could use a international RUU. However if you are looking for a Tmobile RUU, Your out of luck because one hasnt been released yet.

Tampered is just to show you have modified software on the phone, If you run an RUU the tampered will disappear..

As for Relocked, This is to show the bootloader had previously been unlocked and is now relocked.. This wont affect your warranty and there is no way to get rid of it.......yet.

You can unlock and relock the bootloader as many times as you wish...

hope that helps :)

EDIT: Found this http://www.filefactory.com/file/n7n..._2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_259421_signed.exe Its Tmobile but i think its Tmobile Germany, However that shouldnt matter providing you edit the android-info.txt to match your CID... The RUU will have english language
[HTC One S] dragonblade1214:
Thank you for the quick reply! Now I wish I hadn't posted a thread beforehand.

As for my phone being relocked at the moment, I was wondering how to unlock it again?

And thank you for the link. I'm not exactly sure match the CID exactly. Could you provide me a guide? And what's the difference between this and a Tmobile RUU?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Im being told that flashing that RUU would just fail, So until we get the official Tmobile US RUU.. were gunna have to find an alternative solution :(

when you unlocked it through HTCDev, you got an Unlock_code.bin

use this command in fastboot - fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin and that will flash the unlock code and re unlock the bootloader
[HTC One S] dragonblade1214:
Okay, I see. Thank you. But yes, I'm just wondering though.

Is there any point to flash a RUU besides getting rid of the "tampered" message?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
nope :( thats the price you pay for running custom software lol

until we get S-OFF theres limited capabilities
[HTC One S] dragonblade1214:
Okay, thank you so much.

So at the moment, there's nothing wrong then with the "tampered" message? I can just flash custom ROMs with no problem?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yeah thats normal... dont worry about it, Its only if you want to send it back you need to get rid if it
[HTC One S] dragonblade1214:
Okay, I see now.

I wish I had found that out sooner! You've been a real help. Thanks!

Removing VODAFONE

I just got today a HTC ONE X with VODAFONE, the problem is that my friend who will be receiving the device doesn't want to see any of this VODAFONE anywhere, no annoying VODAFONE boot animation, no VODAFONE apps, etc...

device comes S-ON, do I have to root to change this or just changing CID?

Regards,
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Root the device and use something like Titanium Backup to clear the phone of any bloatware
[HTC One S] aviatorboy:
thanks again

Just finished rooting the HTC ONE S; now the question is which apps should I remove to clean all the VODAFONE Bloatware.

any help would be most appreciated...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
go to backup / resotre and in the top left click edit filters or something like that, Type in vodafone and delete them all :)

you could also browse through the whole app list and delete things you dont like the look of, But also back them up before you delete them, just incase its a system app thats needed
[HTC One S] aviatorboy:
thanks x2

I've done as you did, phone is backed up, i've clicked edit in Titanium and up to 7 VODAFONE Apps pop up, now the question remains which ones are system used and which aren't.

I will be happy when I don't see the VODAFONE Boot Image and Vodafone Apps...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you can safely delete ALL the vodafone apps.

I was talking about removing more unnecessary stuff that ARE system apps like Stocks, Tweeter, Showme.. I removed all the ones i didnt use..
[HTC One S] aviatorboy:
warned about deleting sys apps

They are all sys and both Titanium and Root Uninstaller are warning me about deleting system apps. Having said this, i have made a back up, so I will give it a try.

App Select

Music Shop

Discover

HelpLogin App

Help Login

My Web

Help Login Security

I wonder if after deleting all this the boot image and apps will dissapear
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
the apps will dissapear, the boot animation will go to default android which is pretty ugly, but not as much as the vodafone one lol

In apps section there are some nice bootanimations you could install :D

[HTC One S] unk2009:
Good afternoon everyone, first off I would like to thank all of you for being so supportive in this thread...

I rooted my HTC One S on the same day Tmo released it and have been rooted ever since...I partially did the unroot with the all in one tool kit, but, had to finish up with Paul O'Brien root method...Everything was fine. bootloader unlocked/tampered and I have root..I wanted to update the recovery and chose CWM Touch for HTC One S...The problem that I'm having is that when I turn off my phone and plug it in to charge it turns off for a few minutes, but then my phone boots into recovery. I reflashed the interim recovery by Paul O'Brien,but it does the same thing ? Any suggestions, I'm concerned that my phone is always on 24/7...

I would also like to know is there a way to update the1.78 firmware and kernel without having to unroot and then re-rooting our device?

Thanks in advance for your help
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
if you select usb debugging under settings > developer options, then you can use the adb command 'adb reboot bootloader' then the command 'fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img'

as for the update, you will either have to flash the OTA update (if you have it) which needs to be flashed with stock recovery ONLY.. or flash a custom ROM based on that firmware, and also flash the boot.img <-- This has the new kernel inside..

If you are flashing the OTA, Make a nandroid in CWM, flash stock recovery, apply the update, reflash CWM recovery and restore the nandroid, This will restore root too, so no need to worry about that..

there is a detailed guide on how to flash the OTA in the development section
