Heloo im new to all this and i ve searched through forum but couldnt find solution that works for my problem :) I tried to root my Htc One S, using the Superboot posted by paulobrien. Any way, i did everything that needed on htcdev,and it worked. When i tried to run the superboot, i get white screen with warning written in red letter that this is only for developmental purposes blah blah and i cant get pass this. I ve tried several times and its always the same. Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance, sry if im boring wit this :))
[HTC One S] :
I am not familiar with Paul's SuperBoot (I know of it) as I manually unlocked and fastbooted recovery then flashed a rom that had SuperUser in it. Or, you fastboot Chainfire's SU.

Some points--

Do you have and S4 or S3 phone

Did you flash a Custom Recovery before flashing Paul's SuperBoot

Do you have usb debugging checked/fastboot unchecked and allow mock locations checked. I think after first root and reboot with SuperBoot, usb debugging is turned off.

Can you reboot to bootloader--holding down vol- and pwr, then relaesing only pwr after a few seconds till phone boots

Do you want a custom recovery, if so I would fastboot one then fastboot Chainfire's SU if you don't have root

Back up whatever you can including sdcard as you progress on this

I rooted and unlocked my One S[S4] by this guide http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1583427 and it went fine.

Wifi was working fine on stock Rom but when I flashed LeeDroid's Rom and booted the wifi didn't turn on. I just said error.

Then I tried Flashing Viper One S rom and no luck it gave the same error. I tried flashing the kernel and still didn't work.

Anyway I kept on trying different things and got the wifi to turn on but now it shows the connection but doesn't connect to it. It tries two three times and automatically turns off or the phone hangs and restarts.

Please help I need wifi and I can't get it to connect.

Baseband version: 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L

Build Number: 2.31.401.5 CL81535
[HTC One S] elena99:
Thanx for you trying to help me ;)

1. My phone is an S4

2. No i didnt flash a Custom Recovery before flashing Paul`s SuperBoot,I thought for some reason i should get my devices rooted first

3. I checked usb de bugging, allow mock locations checked, but I dont know where to have fastboot unchecked

4. I can reboot to bootloader

5. I want a custom recovery :)

So i sohould now do a Custom Recovery flashing and then Paul SuperBoot and my phone will be rooted and ready for custom ROMs?

Is there any other way you would suggest?

And one more question, is all of this reversable?

Thnx in advance, I apologize one more time if im boring with this :o

And one more questi

btw i tried to do a recovery with a clockwork manually with a fastboot flash like here is sad (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427&highlight=boot+img) but unlike the guy in the video nothing happeneded after the showing of white htc screen with red letters, while according to the video I should get into Clockwork recovery. I have no idea whats going on since it looks quite simple, and i did everything i was suppose to. Help any one?
[HTC One S] :
First off when at white screen can you hold down pwr and vol- as I described above and have it take you to to bootloader then recovery

I am at work and on CM10--not Sense--so I forget where Fastboot is--it is under one of the Settings sections like development--just look under a few or someone may chime in

can you boot into your currnet OS to get to playstore?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

If you have nandroids or bu's on sd save them to pc, or just copy all of sdcard to pc for safety

I would get TWRP recovery from playstore thru goomanager

here is an image of twrp, an older version though, it will auto dl if you can't boot to OS and use goomanager

https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Miscellaneous/twrp.img?w=37b3b706

rename from twrp.img to recovery.img and place in your fastboot.exe folder on pc

boot into bootloader where fastboot is highlighted in red

from command window fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

then fastboot reboot-bootloader

then try to get to twrp recovery

if you get to recovery try to boot into your rom and dl something like root explorer or titanium backup and see if you at least have root with Paul's SuperBoot. If not I can get you another rooter like Chainfires SU or you can flash a rom with SuperSU/Superuser in it.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Are you wiping system along with everything else. Also, search in Viper One thread, I have not been there awhile but thought there was something about flashing partitions--may be wrong

Hoe are you flashing boot.img and there is an app called Flash Image GUI from Market that flashes boot for you from within rom
[HTC One S] elena99:
I found where i should uncheck fastboot,tnx :) i can get to bootloader and i can click recovery but nothing happends (white htc screen with red letters and then nothing, but at least i can get back to my OS)... Tnx for the explanation below I will try it, hope it will work :) btw i m unable to open the dropbox link for some reason:( I dont have nandroid and Im not really familiar with what should i do :( Also my ohen is practicly empty since i lost all when i unlocked bootloader and i pretty much didnt back up anything :((

Is any of these methods (Paul s SuperBoot, Chainfire SU and so on ) reversible process?

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

p.s. how can i use goomanager when my phone isnt rooted? (apologyin advance if this is stupid question :))
[HTC One S] :
1. goomanager will allow you to install custom recovery without using fastboot. You only need to be unlocked to flash custom recovery. Then you can root. If you are more comfortable with fastboot you can fastboot twrp 2.2.2.0 here--this one should work--

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia...recovery-twrp-2.2.0-ville.img----------rename it recovery.img

2. I would try goomanager first--there is an app called mybackup/pro thta will backup all you can w/o being rooted

3. you can always go back by running the correct RUU after you relock

4. I think some of these root/recovery zips need to be updated in OP's--but out of our hands and best thing is to read/read/read before doing to much. I spent weeks reading before even rooting my N1 years ago--

5. When we get a working recovery we can address root, although like I said, flashing a rom with root will take care of that

6. One other thing i don't know if we addressed. But, on the higher hboots, you will need to flash boot image separate. Extract it from rom and copy to your fastboot.exe folder on pc. Although, Flash Image GUI app will do that. But, may need root to run, not sure. Some searches may get you to these threads that will explain things better.

7. For now I would try twrp with goomanager, think i mentioned how to do that and bu with mybackup pro

8. Once you have and get to recovery--should be easy

9. There are some nandroids floating around that you could copy to sdcard if needed--someone would have to link it and make sure it is appropriate for you at this time--never done one from someone else--
[HTC One S] Mekuso:
I've been searching around a bit for a CM10-compatible kernel with working volume wake from deep sleep, or perhaps sweep2wake. I did find this one. The thread is closed though, which made me curious.

My question is: are there any other good alternatives? My power button is quite unresponsive. CM10's built in volume wake doesn't work well from deep sleep, and I'm really sick of Tap Tap App which I've used previously.

Flash Partions

I had (and still have this issue). You can try flashing the wifi partions found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32230552&highlight=partions#post32230552. They didn't work for me, but people have reported success. It the Viper ROM it says if you did the most recent upgrade to 4.04, you may suffer a loss of wifi. You can use TrickDroid 7.00 (the TMobile version). Wifi works for me on it.

Good luck.

A few questions about rooting

I'm a total noob, but I've been wanting to follow this tutorial (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604677) to get fiddle around with rooting my HTC One S. It seems straightforward enough but I'm puzzled about a couple of things:

If I unlock the bootloader and flash the CWM recovery, will I be able to receive OTA updates?

All the roms specify S3 or S4, how can I figure out which one mine is?

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction!

inline music control on headphones

Just switched to an HTC One S form iPhone 4S.

Inline headphone music controls with apple buds is giving me problems, HTC does not mention this feature in manuals and guides.

What are the controls? One click seems to be play/stop. But double or triple clicks seem to start up the phone - seems clicks corespond to speed dial numbers maybe? i.e. 2 clicks = speed dial 2.

Is there setting where I can setup the inline control for music use?

[edit] I just downloaded and installed doubletwist dot com which commandeers the headphone controls. The two built in apps are junk IMO.
[HTC One S] AVAR05:
1)it depends on your rom provider,for example i have ViperOne S Rom and i was able to receive OTA updates.

2) install any CPU info app and check if your CPU is 1500 MgHz i belive it is S4 and 1200 is S3 i saw this on some threads i dont remember now wich one

Help. Cant get my one s to work.

I had the hTC EVO Design 4G as pretty much my first Smart Android. (Im not including the LG optimus M). There is no development forum for that devices in XDA so I used SDX-DEV I actually started learning how to kang my own roms.

im blabbering....

let me try to STEPbySTEP explain my steps up to my not working Device.

!. I tried to Flash the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip rom through TWRP at first. (thats was the suggesttion in the thread. So that the recovery would Flash the correct Kernel. But upon reboot. I discovered that contrary to the devs suggestion the WiFi still didnt work. So I flashed CWM through ROM manager. reboot into recovery flash wiped cache/ factory reset. But I dont think I wiped system, data, or anything not in the main Menu, Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and I reboot. Upon reboot the HTC screen had the warning for use in htc do not distribute...then the bootanimation popped up and finally the booted up fine. Wifi was working this time. But now my network wasnt right. I didnt give the rom time to settle in though. I panic and open CMD and ran adb reboot fastboot.

Waited waited

now the boot loader was up. I had to unplug my deviice for the screen to show fastboot usb.

then this is where I think I ****ed up my phone

(I extracted the boot.img from the Energy_9.07.2012.OneS.zip and placed it in my android folder on C:) I also adb pulled my twrp recovery to

C:\android and renamed to recovery,img I wanted TWRP back I hate how CWM automaticaly boots when you plug it in tp charge from dead)

Now I had in my C:\Android\boot.img and \recovery.img.

I ran the command (im not sure if I ran boot or recovery first)Also my phone was anywhere near a full battery cloase to dead but my CMD window showed complete.

C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash boot C:\android\boot.img

C:\Windows\system32>fastboot flash recovery C:\android\recovery.img

Now my phone is plugged into my Lenovo Thinkpad t410 with Win7 Pro OEM The red light to the top right isnt blinking like the battery to low to power on notification. Its steady. but when I hold down to turn on either the lights for the capacitie buttons flash untill I let go of the button or I do a combo of plugging in and out the usb and holding the power and volume bottons not sure Which order. PLEASE HELP! iM EXPECTING A PHONE CALL ABOUT A JOB INTERVIEW RESULTS.

In my time in CMD this error did pop up a few times. But I open HTC sync let it load. and then it would work.

C:\Windows\system32>adb reboot device

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

Would A ruu fix this????? Although I haven't once successively used one.

Device not recognised in fastboot mode

Apologies if this has come up already. I've searched and nothing seems to quite match my issue. I'm trying to root my one s with the aim of putting cm10 on it.

I've got fastboot and adb installed. With the phone connected as normal (debugging mode enabled) I can see it listed as a device using "adb devices". When I reboot to fastboot mode windows gives an error saying the device is not recognised and 'fastboot devices' shows nothing. The phone doesn't switch from "fastboot" to "fastboot usb" either.

I tried going ahead with "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" but it just hangs at "waiting for device".

Is there anything I can try to get it recognised in fastboot mode?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] Agumby:
First - Thanks for all the info guys!

Second - I rooted using TORXX method and had no luck when I flashed a rom - it booted fine once - then when I restarted the phone it would bootloop at the RED SCRIPT with the HTC Brilliant screen - so I had to run a stock RUU on relocked mode, etc.....

Third - now I'm back to stock rom and on RELOCKED and I want to root using the All-in-One KIT - Do I have to get a new "Unlock_code.bin"? or could I simply load the same one I already got from HTCdev even though I flashed an RUU rom?

LAST - I really want the CyanogenMOD 10.1

are these the steps?

1. Wipe

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Kernel? boot.img? <---- this is where I get confused.

4. Install Gapps

5. Wipe before rebooting?

6. Reboot - and it should load to the OS right?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] :
First, what version is your hboot--if below .13 you probably don't need to flash boot.img separate

I didn't use all-in-one, so what is below is all manual--as long as you are familiar with adb/fastboot

After unlocking, fastboot twrp (custom recovery), there is thread for twrp in forum.

I don't currently have a download link for twrp 2.2.2.0 image which is best for me--maybe someone else does, and even a SuperSU flashable zip or apk.

If fastbooting twrp recovery image--command is--fastboot flash recovery recovery.img--where recovery.img is the exact name of the recovery you downloaded. I just rename it to recovery.img. Then type fastboot reboot-bootloader

When you flash a custom rom, it will have SuperSU or superuser in it and root for you.

Otherwise, download rom and gapps to pc. Make sure you get right gapps for rom. 10.1 takes 20121130 gapps. The other JB's 20121026.

Extract the rom and copy the boot image from extracted rom to pc. Then copy rom and gapps to sdcard/downloads. Copy the boot image to your fastboot.exe folder.

boot into twrp recovery and wipe all including System--before doing this make phone and sdcard backups and copy to pc

flash "tap install button" rom then gapps while in twrp

go back to main twrp screen and tap on reboot, then tap on bootloader. you should now be in fastboot mode with FASTBOOT USB highlighted in red

now you can cd to your fastboot.exe folder in command window and fastboot boot image--copy of my command window is below--your fastboot folder name may be different

after boot flashes type

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

rom should boot

i usually set up Google Accounts the reboot again, then finish setting up rom

Hi everybody,

After 2 years full of bugs and frustrations with my LG Optimus 2X I am quite tempting to jump ship to this phone. The problem with my current phone is that LG seems to have abandoned it. They only to release a half-arsed ICS update just to try to dampen the complain and petitions from us. I wonder if this phone is any better or will it suffer the same fate some time soon?
[HTC One S] mathlete76:
It was checked, but having unchecked it I am getting the same issue. As soon as it goes to fastboot mode windows pops up an error message saying the device has malfunctioned. This time it actually showed up as fastboot usb for a short while, but it is not doing that now either.

Hi,

i have an HTC One S, with S3 CPU, android version 4.0.3. I bought 2 weeks ago. As i was informed by HTC support a new firmware release exists 4.0.4. My phone cannot find any update. HTC advice me to make some actions:

I followed the above mention actions with no luck at all. I informed HTC support and they told that i have to send it to the service center. I think it is a software issue and not a hardware.

Can i do something by myself, like flashing a new rom or something? As i saw in the forum, most topic are about S4 CPU. Please provide your feedback.

make sure you read the OP page for exact flashing steps

if you flashed an s4 rom you may need to run your ruu/unlock etc

when you are stuck at red letters what do you do to get out of it

your sequence steps are wrong too

wipe all including system, flash rom, reboot into bootloader and fastboot boot image then reboot. after you reboot into OS i would set up maybe wifi and/or gmail and reboot again.

4G and ROMS

Which HTC One S ROMS will be able to use 4G (T-Mobile)? I am running MIUI (JellyBean) and am not receiving 4G speeds. I've run several different ROMS and none of them say 4G, they all indicate H or H+.
[HTC One S] Dave77459:
T-Mobile does not provide LTE data, which is what people outside T-Mobile refer to as 4G. Instead, they provide HSPA+ data. CyanogenMod uses 4G to refer to LTE, and H+ to refer to HSPA+. So, you are seeing the best that T-Mobile has to offer.

This, according to the CyanogenMod FAQ.

Edit: I see you may not be running CM, but I presume the same is true of many ROMs.

Hope this helps,

Dave
[HTC One S] just2great:
Indeed it did. I was confused because T-Mobile's commercials tote their network as 4G. Upon further research I found out that it is indeed not an LTE network but they plan to be soon. So that's great, I'll just continue using the ROM I've been using. Once again thank you Dave for the prompt and precise response.
