Hi...

Not really a n00b but its been awhile and my questions are rudimentary.

Around June I flashed TWRP after using RM/CWM recovery for 2 years, and I am having some problems flashing a new ROM at the moment. The problem I am having is a strange "restart" of the TWRP recovery after about 5 seconds into flashing the new ROM.

One idea to fix this (as I troubleshoot) is to reflash the recovery. However, GooManager does not have a "flash recovery" option like Rom Manager did. I cannot even remember where I got the TWRP recovery to begin with... and when I search for it... it seems model-specific.

Can someone point me to a thread or give me a link to the most recent TWRP recovery? And once I have that.... how do I flash this recovery since there is not an option to do so in GooManager (and I uninstalled Rom Manager awhile back).

Thanks in advance....

Paul

Try using the all in one tool. It can flash recoveries for you and I'm pretty sure it has a relatively up-to-date twrp along with the touch version of cwm.

Hey folks, I am kinda noob, can u please help me to flash custom Trickdroid ROM(4.00). I cannot upgrade my os on air because phone is rooted, and this ROM requires Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1. I have 4.0.3 OS and 4.0 Sense. As i know, i should flash RUU and relock the loader to be able to upgrade on air and then i could flash Trickdroid ROM. Can u please tell me what do i have to do and please how? THX in advance

[HTC One S] slainbybeats:
It doesn't require 4.0.4 but installs it for you by flashing it on your device. The ROM is sense 4.1 and android 4.0.4. Just flash it and enjoy!

Hi,

I've just re-locked my bootloader and get OTA update. now my root is gone. is there any way to root it again? my phone is One S VilleC2 (S3)

Question - I used the all in one - and now have dark jelly running - I cannot enter the unlocked code unless I go back to stock - which I made a back up for full back up.

when I do a restore it won't boot, but I can restore back to dark jelly. I have the latest tmo ruu downloaded. So if I understand all I have to do is relock the bootloader then run the ruu correct?? This will put be back to stock locked Bootloader etc...??

Question about roms :D

Hello, I recently bought a One S (coming from a galaxy nexus and and htc desire before that). Now i was just wondering if you could tell me what else you need to do to install a new rom other than installing the Rom's zip (and maybe GAPPS). I'm used to just simply factory wipe/dalvic wipe, then installing and rebooting on past phones, however doing that same with the One S seems to not work for me most of the time. I end up getting stuck at the boot screen and what not.

TL;DR Other than installing the Rom zips in CWM, do i need to do anything else to install Roms properly? (example unofficial AOKP)

flash the boot.img in fastboot.

the code being

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
You have to fastboot flash the boot image that comes with your ROM. For most ROMs, this is mentioned in the installation instructions in the ROM's thread.

Hi to all,

i'm quite confused and worried at the same time.

I bought an Htc One S in Hong Kong (S3 model), and it should be a no brand model (antutu shows htc_asia_hq in Brand info).

I live in Italy and use an italian carrier (vodafone) and i'm unable to get OTA updates.

Completely unable.

I'm stuck with release 1.11.708.110; even though both european and asian ota have bean released (respectively on August and on 9th of November).

Any advice?

Hey guys,

i got a little problem here.

My HTC One S isn't booting.

I unlocked the bootloader on htcdev.com and then i installed the Touch Recovery from cyanogenmod.

After that i downloaded the ROM CM Mod 10.

I placed the file on my storage card of my device.

I was trying to install the ROM via touch recovery, by

1. saving the current ROM

2. wiping all chaches

3. install

well and reboot..

now my device loading for at least 30 minutes.. nothing happends..

can you help me?

one guess: have i update my kernel first?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
When installing a new ROM, you should wipe the data partition as well. (I would just format everything except sdcard.) Before you boot into the ROM (or even before you install it) you should flash the kernel (boot image) from fastboot.

Phone locked up

I recently unlocked and rooted my One S phone and tried flashing a new theme onto it using TWRP. After i rebooted the phone stays at the splash screen and won't go no further. I can't even boot into recovery mode. Any suggestions to fix this would be helpful.

Guys,

you have to flash gapps after rom

strongly recommend reading the OP page and first/last 20 pages of any rom thread you are using--;)

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

what did you do prior to this

have you done a hard reboot without phone connected to pc

holding vol- and pwr at same time then releasing pwr after a few seconds but still holding vol-

or

try flashing twrp recovery from fastboot

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/Jl2Mmb87wo/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-ville.img

rename it to recovery.img and put in your fastboot.exe folder on pc

if you have a nandroid on phone try fastboot erase system if the flash doesn't work first time. doing this and not having nandroid may force you to push a rom to phone

This is quite stupid question:

One s's specs doesnt say that it has html5, but when i have chrome i do have html5 in that browser?

And what does mean RUU?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
html has nothing to do with the device itself, if the web browser you are using supports html5 (and they all should at this point)... then the device can run html5.

Ville-Z kernel problem

I guess i did something stupid :angel: - I've installed cm10 stable, on HTC One S (S4), and than i saw Zarboz's kernel on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886010&highlight=ville-z, so i have flashed latest build via CWM. That went fine, Aroma installer was helpfull. After reboot, CM10 has boot up, the led was on (red) stating that battery is charging and i can't activate wifi. Tried Pedja's Kernel tuner, and those settings went ok, i guess. Than i flashed new radio 1.08es.50.02 over 1.08ts and nothing changed. Wifi still can't be activated and ofc ididn'e expect for led to be fixed :). My hboot is 1.14.0002. So, what i can do to fix wifi and led? Can i revert kernel to CM10 native, and if i can from where i can DL it couse i don't have backup? I've searched but in vain. Please help :)

Bootloop with CM10

Hi there,

I tried flashing CM10 several times the last days on my One S with CID=VODAP110 (Swisscom) and TWRP 2.3.1. I had stock rom before, so this is the first time I try to install CM on this device.

After flashing CM10 and gapps via TWRP and the boot.img from the ville.zip via fastboot, the device loops showing the green cm10 logo. Logcat is repeating messages about missing jar.files in /system/framework. Having a look into that folder I noticed it is indeed quite empty.

After recovering to my backup stock rom the device looped at the HTC logo. I had to manually flash the boot.img from the backup using fastboot, although TWRP told me it flashed the boot.partition (which took 403 secs).

To me this looks quite strange - is my TWRP defect? How could I fix it?

Any hint is appreciated.

Thx for your great work,

Bernd

Hi everyone,

i have radio 1.08es and i cant find appropriate RUU for my device. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance
[HTC One S] mikolaj87:
Hi guys. I need some help. My phone recently start to restart after I've turn on WiFi. Than it keep looping during the boot. Finally when I've tried to access phone storage via the recovery (I'm using twrp) it only allowed me to format it using my PC. So I've formatted phone storage, installed new room (I've tried viper, trickdroid and paranoid one) and each time I install rom everything is fine until the phone restart. After restart phone stuck in a loop during the boot process and just keep restarting. To over come it I have to restart it to factory default using twrp. I'm clueless now and honestly I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas guys?

ok, I've searched for a while. havent quite figured it out yet. Heres what I did. Used the all in one kit. Unlocked my phone. then flashed twrp, all working fine so far, fashed kernel from jb milestone, rather flashed boot img from milestone... then bootloop, accidentally wiped system in recovery.. able to get to recovery and unmount sd card but not able to mount sd card and use the flash kernel option in the all in one kit due to no os... could someone point me in the right direction?

despite my sig i am using an s4 one s

uh oh. seems i may have really messed up. my comp stopped recognizing the sd card and told me to format.. now after having turned off the phone i can no longer reach even the bootloader to get to recovery now... have i just created a paperweight?
[HTC One S] AVAR05:
You need to flash Boot.img which comes with a Rom and it will work fine had same problems couple times.If you follow the steps how to flash the rom exactly as it says you won't have any problem.:)

Hi everyone. I've a rooted S4 running on the Jellybean milestone 1 ROM. I'm wondering if there's a way to make the virtual keyboard's "enter" key submit. For example, when I'm done typing a text message I'd like the enter button to send the message. It currently (and always has, since stock) simply makes a new line below the text when I press enter.

I have minimal software skills and no coding skills so noob-friendliness would be appreciated. Thanks :)

A2DP on CM10?

I'm really happy with my CM10 install, for the most part. While I understand it is in development, I have a problem that I haven't seen addressed.

I am having a problem with an A2DP bluetooth connection to several sources (car, helmet intercom). I can initiate and receive telephone calls, but music won't stream. I did have it stream once from Apollo, and once from Amazon MP3, but those were rare occurrences that I can't repeat. It was reliable before leaving stock.

I have seen instructions* for modifying the /system/etc/audio.conf and that seems plausible, since it could be that one of the MP3s might be created with a bit rate. However, that help suggests added a 44100 sample, and mine has that, but no 48000 entry.

BTW, I am running 10-20121120-NIGHTLY-ville now, but this has been an issue since I installed CM10.

Any help?

[HTC One S] Digital_Fidelity:
Ok, so I have been searching for a while and can't find anything. I'm coming from Sprint, they terminated my service because I was using 30GB of roaming a month and it was cheaper to just boot me. I had T-Mobile last year and decided to try Sprint since at the time T-Mobile didn't have truly unlimited data yet, they throttled after 5GB, which I used in a week.

Anyway, I think I heard something a while ago where T-Mobile fixed hotspot exploitation somehow. I was wondering if I can still get a hotspot to work (wifi-tether, barnacle or anything like that) on the One S, or any T-Mobile phone I guess. I haven't seen any mention of a hotspot in any of the ROM pages. I'm starting a contract with the truly unlimited 4g and looking at the One S right now since it's free.
[HTC One S] Dave77459:
The stock T-Mobile HTC One S comes with Wifi hot spot as a feature, as well as Wifi calling. Wifi calling is lost with non-stock ROMs.

Dave,
[HTC One S] mikolaj87:
Yeep I did. I've pushed it using fastboot.

Also an update. I've tried all available roms for one s, and the only one that seems to work is a miui rom, but I'm keep getting error regarding the permission manager and updater, plus it often cause issues with installing apps etc. Zen rom was perfect for a day but than I was writing back to my m8 using google talk, and when I pressed on google talk icon the phone restart and keep restarting like it was in some sort of loop. I've tried to install again the boot.img and it didn't help, I also tried to clear cache and still it didn't help. I'm going back to miui now but I hope that any one have any ideas.
[HTC One S] Digital_Fidelity:
I mean a free hotspot without paying the extra 20 dollars a month for a limited plan. I need my unlimited data but I want a hotspot also, I guess I've been kinda spoiled on Sprint. If I root and put the Viper rom on there will I be able to use a hotspot without upgrading my plan? I just ordered this phone yesterday so I won't be getting it until Monday or Tuesday, I'm trying to get everything I need for it before it gets here so I can do everything all at once as soon as I get it.
[HTC One S] Dave77459:
Sorry, I suppose I have a grandfathered plan (I got the original G1 Android phone). I have unlimited data and don't pay a fee. I just thought that was true for everyone.

Dave
[HTC One S] Digital_Fidelity:
Yeah I had the MyTouch 3G Slide back when that came out however long ago. When that stopped working and they sent me the 4G Slide as a replacement, that had hotspot and it was fine but I was throttled after 5GB on those old plans. The new plans with hotspot have a limited data plan and it doesn't specify if it's only limited for hotspot use and still unlimited on the phone or not, it just looks like a completely limited plan which I can't do. They have a truly unlimited plan now with no throttling, truly unlimited, but no hotspot. I'm hoping on a rooted phone you can still use other tethering methods (OpenGarden, Barnacle, WiFi Tether) than the hotspot that comes on the phone.

I completely forgot about cyber Monday and I just ordered this phone yesterday. My buddy that works at a T-Mobile call center says the Galaxy S3 is supposed to be free on Monday. Oh well, I guess I'll be waiting for the HTC Butterfly to come out over here.
[HTC One S] Dave77459:

Are you using CWM recovery? If so it's a cwm problem.
[HTC One S] khuynh:
Hi guys,

I was looking to try some different roms but they never get past the boot animation?

I always have to go back to a sense rom like Viper or trickdroid which work fine but the non-sense roms never make it past the boot animation.

Any thoughts? It seems the usual ways to fix the problem is flash boot.img in fastboot and that works for sense roms but not non-sense roms for me...

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC One S] Dave77459:
When I had this problem, I was not doing a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM. I wiped the cache partition, and wiped the Dalvik cache, but wiping data seemed scary. Once I did that, CM10 installed and worked perfectly.

Very worried, possible hard brick

Hi,

i've a BIG problem :crying:

I've unlocked bootloader via htcdev and tried to install CWM recovery.

Evrything ok except for the recovery, it doesn't worked. Fastboot said flashing was ok but i wasn't able to access recovery.

I wasn't worried too much, i've read other users had a similar problem and, at least, succeded in flashing recovery.

I've been using my phone without problems untill it ran out of battery.

I hate when it happens so i've plugged it immediatly to usb adapter.

And now, it doesn't even start up.

There isn't even the notification led.

If i keep pressed the start button the screen flashes for a moment but nothing else.

I'm really worried, please help me.

flashing rom via adb failed

Hi,

My phone(Tmo US HTC ONE S) has been bricked so I tried to install rom image file via ADB.(ADB installation was smooth) I tired to follow the terminal command with Mac and PC(Win7) but still can't get to the last process.

I've followed the steps;

adb shell
mount data
adb push ./ROM.zip /data/
adb shell
recovery --update_package=DATA:ROM.zip

The problem is, when I entered

recovery --update_package=DATA:rom.zip

the terminal says

sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found

I've tried it multiple times but always get stuck at the last step. Anyone knows why? Please help!

FYI; I both tried 'rom.zip' and 'ROM.zip' in case it matters...the file I placed was 'ROM.zip', though.

Where did you get these instructions from? That's not how you should do it.
[HTC One S] Rigel_k:
please, someone...
[HTC One S] puwa:
I'm noob or at least that was my first post so i cannot input any URLs so..

I've actually got it from XDA....if you modify the end of your current url to

showthread.php?t=1628421

then you can find it. In the middle of the thread, the instruction was written by 'by.adrian' and the posting start with 'This is for all those who don't have a working sdcard, sdcard slot, etc. but want still to flash a new rom'

FYI, the rom.zip I got was TrickDroidV7.0.0(forS4 chips) and renamed it as so.

FYI2, I also read the thread called '[TUT] Downgrade/Unbrick Ville S4' but since my phone was fully wiped while I was trying to install ViperRom(it actually caused the brick issue) so I don't know if USB debugging option is still active, which was one of the prior condition to follow the instruction.

[HTC One S] dc211:
Ok I looked at your instructions and it's totally not what you need. In the future be careful of using instructions from another phone.

You didn't post how your phone became bricked so it's kind of hard to help fix it. If you can still get to recovery or bootloader it will be real easy to fix your phone.

So can you get to recovery?

Do you have the all-in-one toolkit setup and working?

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Let the phone charge for awhile, keep in mind that using a usb port from a computer charges much slower then a wall charger. After that flash TWRP, clockwork recovery isn't offically supported for our phone and has a few bugs.

On low hboots, 1.06 and 1.09, we can flash pretty much everything except sbl and hboot in recovery. Also, there is not too much space to win from repartitioning. So not really that necessary. That's not to say I'd refuse if you're offering ;)
