HTC One S, i think its "hard-bricked"

I was working fine, enjoying my new HTC One S with CM9 rom installed. Well the battery life wasnt the best on it, and i didnt install the custom kernel. So I looked for the custom kernel download(on my phone, not on my computer) and i found a .zip file. Well I thought that you could just download the kernel straight to my phone and open it up with "Rom Manager" which i did, it than said i needed to reboot the phone in recovery to continue the installation, so I did... it took me to recovery "to continue the installation" well than I looked away, looked backed down and it was black.... and i have tried powering up, booting into boot loader, booting into recover, and nothing... its just BLACK! nothing works, its literally useless ATM. I really messed up, is there anyway to fix this? Thanks in advanced!

----EDIT----

I think I accidentally flashed the kernel like i would normally flash a rom....:( cause i downloaded the .zip file(directly to my phone, not using a computer), than i tapped the download and it asked me if i wanted to open it up with rom manager, so i did. and i think rom manager thought i was flashing a rom, when i wasnt, it was a kernel.... am i screwed? or is there anyway out of this?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I dont think the phone flashed it as a ROM, The updater script inside the .zip would have told the phone it is a kernel...

Does any thing happen when you connect USB cable ? Does your PC beep, As if something just connected ?

Any lights lighting up on the phone ? More importantly, does the green charging LED light up ?

HTC Sense with custom ROM

Hi guys!

This is my first post :) (I'm a noob!)

I really like to install TrickDroid 4.3 ROM, but I want to keep using HTC Sense, it's possible? If not, please don't kill me xD...

Thanks!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
TrickDroid IS a Sense ROM, So You will still have HTC Sense if you flash it :)
[HTC One S] sambalo:
Oh, I see!

Thank you very much for the answer, you really helped me ;)

Another question (sorry), what does meant AOSP Inverted apps (in the tweak package)? I have a problem with stock calendar (it doesn't load my Google's calendar dates). If I install "Calendar","Install Calendar AOSP Inverted" from tweak package, it will fix the problem?

Thanks again!
[HTC One S] :
No fear of reprisal here--azzledazzle is great and patient

I have been doing this a long time and still have "embarrasing" questions--:)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
AOSP is Android Open Source Project, So inverted AOSP apps will be stock android apps (dont get stock android confused with stock HTC)

And they will be inverted, Like a camera effect, where white becomes black and black becomes white (or something along them lines:p)

It *may* fix your problem, But i believe the problem is down to a sync error not the app, Check it under settings > accounts and sync, make sure the option you need is checked
[HTC One S] sambalo:
Ok, I though AOSP inverted was something like waste-free app xD

I think the problem with the calendar is different... Look at this

Everything is checked...

I will flash the TrickDroid ROM and hopefully it will fix the problem.

Really thanks!

So what's AOKP? What's the difference between those two?
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
AOKP = Android Open Kang Project

It is a tweaked version of AOSP

Me again...why does it take so long to charge from 99% to 100%? It takes fooooorever to charge that 1%. Just my phone? I can't do the battery calibration until it hits 100%...

Can't get into stock recovery

Hi,

I have just got my completely stock EU OneS.

I did the OTA update to 1.78.401.2 succesfully.

I haven't unlocked the bootloader, flashed any recovery, anything...

I was about the begin with the flashing fun (as you can see from my sig., I'm a flashaholic with an HD2 - so I know about flashing, rooting, bootloader, etc.)

So, I wanted to take a quick backup before I begin but can't access recovery. I boot to bootloader, select recovery, then I get a green symbol (first screenshot), then a red warning one (second screenshot), then a reboot after a few minutes.

Is my stock recovery busted?

Thanks all.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
That is the stock recovery, If you hold the volume up botton and tap the power button once or twice you will end up in the stock android 3e recovery.

In order to make a backup, you will need to flash CWM recovery or TWRP recovery, You do this by unlocking bootloader (HTCDev) and then fastboot flashing the recovery image.
[HTC One S] wheeliemonster:
Thanks man. Boy do I feel like a fool!

I guess that what comes from having a winmobile device like the HD2 for ages!

-Got into recovery - am getting an error mount /sdcard and as you say - no option to backup.

Does unlocking the bootloader definitely wipe the device? Reason being - I haven't got my the old trusty HD2 with me and had already transferred some data (sms, etc.) to the OneS.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
there is no backup option in stock recovery, Only custom recovery.

Unlocking bootloader will erase your data. However there are some backup apps that you can get from the market to back up your stuff before hand.

It wont however wipe your sd card, So what ever pics / music ect you have will stay on the phone.
[HTC One S] wheeliemonster:
Ah well - went for it - already trying to get the CM9 build booting. Having a couple of issues, bit it's alpha anyway.

Here we go again, the flashing begins! :p

Thanks again.
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
My 1s has terrible battery life. I flashed trickdroid and the dual core mod. Not helping. As you can see, I lose nearly 20% in half an hour. The battery also climbs to 100 degrees a lot. Should I exchange the phone? What's the process? Walk into a TMo store and ask for an exchange? Does it have to be in the 14 day period?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm on auto brightness.

EDIT: If anyone's out there, how long does it take to charge your phone? I've been charging for a couple hours (3-4) and I went from 17% to 70% only. My G2 seems to fully charge in the same time. (Prob just the bigger battery, but still SO SLOW.)
[HTC One S] dhingra_vinay_in:
hey just a simple question..i m from india and here as we all know the units shipped to asian countries will be with the s3 processor. i had a device with s4 processor black but i sold it back due to the oxidization chipping....n i cant live without flashing..will these custom roms work with the s3 version as well...its a processor changed n i guess the cpu is same as krait only...any lights on this will be helpful for me to decide..thanks !!!
[HTC One S] wrickwrackwruck:
Hi

Do any of you know wether this is for real?

https://twitter.com/mdeejay_ru/status/213000869912903681

Don't want to install custom roms right now

because i'll have to exchange the phone

(chipping, touch button issue, heating (40°C ~ 105°F after 10min Browsing))

Would be so nice of htc to include that in an update!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
My Phone usually takes around 3-4 hours for a full charge 0-100%

If i was you i would do a full factory reset and see how batter life performs without any mods / apps installed, Then you can identify whether it is ROM / App related, or indeed a faulty battery

I should imagine they will work, But i cannot confirm this, Not many people have the S3 version so theres no definitive proof, It would be really useful if you could test this out and let us all know ?

I think the worst thing that could happen is a bootloop, So make a nandroid before hand so you can restore it :)

Never seen this before ! would be awesome if it is true, Maybe it was included in the latest OTA update ?
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
How much battery does your phone take up in, say, half an hour?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
on standby ? About 1-2%
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Sorry, I meant just browsing/using news apps or twitter.
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
nvm, found an old nandroid of 1.53 pre-ota, will try to flash old radio too, see if it helps. (wait, do I HAVE to flash old radio to match?)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
No but if you get weak signal you might want to revert / upgrade
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
Seems to be fixed. The latest 1.84 OTA was the culprit, it seems. Now, it's much better. Only about 8% every 30 minutes, and that equates to about 7 hours if I ever used it 7 hours straight. :P

Texting over WiFi calling

I'm running Zyroid 3.2 and my phone doesn't seem to want to send MMS's while in WiFi calling. Not sure if it's on the recipient's side or not. Anyone else run into this?
[HTC One S] brwetz:
Thank you everyone for your support with this thread. I hope everyone is learning their phones inside and out.

Never fear asking a question in this thread or creating a whole new thread. We're here to help. :)
[HTC One S] unk2009:
Good evening XDA, I have a quick question... What is the difference between SIM Unlock (thank you ascot17 for the great thread) and SuperCID11111?

Thanks for your help :cool:
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
I believe that SIM Unlock will allow you to use any SIM in the phone. (Carriers lock the SIM to their own carrier.) CID, I think, will let you use any RUU from any carrier. So, you can use unbranded RUUs to remove junk placed onto the phone by carriers.

HTC ONE S

Should I buy the HTC ONE S 1.7 ghz processor modle??

In India this is the only model getting launched "officially" but I have another website selling the 1.5 S4 processor model, BUT I had word with HTC and they say that this is likely to be a model imported from outside and the international waranty does not cover any part replacement if required..

Please suggest what to do....
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
If i was you, I'd go for the S4 version. I dont see how your warranty will be affected, If you have any issues, Dont tell them it was imported, Just put the stock ROM back on the phone and send it.

You shouldnt have any issues but if you do then do that ^^

Or just deliver it to the HTC centre in another country lol :) and pretend thats where you live
[HTC One S] brwetz:
My question would be: Are you planning on rooting and toying with it. Unfortunately for the S3 people, I don't see the "scene" being anywhere near as large.

If you want to mess around with it, go with the S4. As azzle said, I don't know why your warranty would be messed up. Your carrier might not "support" it, but HTC should.
[HTC One S] ankit.kanwara:
Thanks for such a quick response..

I was told that the HTC service center will be able to find out that the model is imported from outside by looking at the imei number.. I am not sure if thats true.

The problem is that I want to go for the black one s but have read a lot about the chipping of the handset and hence I am worried if i buy that and that thing happens to me i will be left hanging without a solution..

And also I am not into rooting my device as of now but maybe in future would like to do so for sure...

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

One more thing..

HTC said that even under waranty I will have to pay 50$ for the international waranty and any part replacement will not be covered under waranty and they will charge me for the same..
[HTC One S] brwetz:
I haven't heard about the $50 international warranty thing. However, of course HTC will know where your phone came from based on serial numbers, etc.

I live in the US, so I have the gradient blue HOS, so I have no personal experience with the Black one. I have, however, heard about the chipping. Do what fits you best. I'd love to see how the S3 performs at that clock speed.
[HTC One S] kgs1992:
To the best of my knowledge, HTC will throw their hands up & saw they can't support it because they don't have staff/tools equipped to repair the phone.

Even if they do support it, they will take a month to get the parts.
[HTC One S] swiss420:
I believe there is a little glitch in the graphics. Here is quick patch. After applying the Patch wipe memory as if it never happend. Or else you might experience unexpected behaviors in the thread.

Hi guys,

Just got my Grey One S and I'm very pleased with it! I have a small question though and this seemed like the best place to ask, so here goes:

When I started my phone up for the first time, I had to select some settings. I remember there being something like 'only auto-sync while on wifi'. Where can I find this in the settings?
[HTC One S] stevoknevo:
Go to the app drawer and set-up is in there :good:

can't access custom recovery

I successfully unlocked my H1s. I installed Goo Manager and installed TWRP from within Goo Manager. I manually rebooted. When I restarted with PWR-VOL-DOWN the normal boot menu popped up, not TWRP. When I selected the RECOVERY option, I didn't get TWRP, I got a black screen with a phone image in the middle with a green arrow circling and then that turned to a red triangle. I used PWR-VOL-UP and was presented with a screen with options like reboot, wipe something, etc. At the bottom of the screen was:

E: can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: failed to mount /sdcard

Why can't I access the TWRP custom recovery?

:silly:

I'm unlocked, but not rooted. Could that be the problem. Can I root without a recovery tool? I wanted to install TWRP instead of CWM, create a backup, then root. Can I root without a recovery tool?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
That image you see is the stock recovery, So TWRP didnt flash successfully, The best way to flash something is via fastboot.

Download the recovery image - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/twrp.img

Put it in the folder with all your adb / fastboot files, Open a command window from that folder (hold shift & right click) and type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

That should sort you out :good: you dont need root to do this, You can however flash the root package in TWRP
[HTC One S] esnittle:
Thank you, azzledazzle, that worked!! :laugh:

just flashed my phone

what is the best root kernal and ROM for the one s right now?:eek::eek:
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
There is no best or worse ROM, You can only test them all to find one that suits you.

What sort of ROM are you looking for ? Close to stock ? Totally Modded ? Nicely themed ?

All i can say is make a nandroid, Put a load of ROMs on your SD Card and try them all over the next few days.
[HTC One S] Rugged96:
I know the connector is compatible but will the charger for my HTC HD2 work with this phone? Anything i should be concerned about electrically speaking...?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
If it fits it will work, I have a few chargers from Samsung, HTC, Nokia I use them all without any issues.

Swyped From My Galaxy Note
[HTC One S] :
you can also look at the specs on charger

should be "around" 4.5 to 9.5v output and 800mA

i am using my N1 chargers on the 1s

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 AM ----------

Thanks for that link azzledazzle. If I try twrp, I would prefer to fastboot it, independent og goo-mgr

[HTC One S] brwetz:
True, but just make sure that its not over 9V as you could see overpowering issues. Most standard chargers will work without fault though.
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
I just got a "system optimization" update. Is that the 1.83 OTA? I'm rooted w/ CWM recovery. If I want to update, I have to flash stock recovery, unroot, and relock bootloader, right? Will the update still be there? Can I root after updating?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you dont need to unroot, however you may lose root during the update, I think its necessary to relock bootloader and have stock recovery,

If you are getting the update without all that, chances are it will still be there after :)

If you are on a custom ROM, DO NOT UPDATE !
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
If I lose root, will I be able to root while on 1.84 stock?

Another Question here : It says Tampered at the top. I know that that was because I was flashing stuff, but it will stay there no matter what? I can't remove it?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
tampered will disappear when you run an ruu and put everything back to stock.

and yes, you can root the 1.84 update.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
But to be clear - the unlock will change to relock after RUU not to original "lock".
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
that is correct yes !

No way to get **LOCKED** without S-OFF
[HTC One S] orangekid:
I have just spent a half hour searching this forum, including the dev stickies, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to restore a Tmobile One S to 100% shipped/stock when it's got a custom ROM.

Is there a shipped RUU I can use?

How about a PBIMG** I can stick on the root of my SD card? (preferred)

thanks :)
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
It is not possible to get it 100% back to shipped/stock without S-Off. The best you can do is RUU and relock the bootloader.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543588&highlight=ruu

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1697604&highlight=ruu
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
yes +1 to that ^^^

The only difference will be your bootloader will say **RELOCKED** Instead of just **LOCKED** But dont panic, as your warranty will still be intact providing everything is back to stock.

You will need to relock bootloader BEFORE running the RUU, If the RUU fails, You may need to flash the stock recovery too, So its best to just flash it before relocking bootloader, to save you some time :D

Might be ICS faults?

Hi!

First of sorry about my gramar, i dont live in a country where english is the first language, but hoping that you will understand what im asking/saying =).

also hoping this might be the correct thred to post on. If not im sorry!

I changed from my beloved Desire to a new One s since a month back but have had to many problems to enjoy this phone, hoping someone could help me with them, or tell me if im not the only one.

Have search all over google for most of the problems but cant find any fix/simular faults that users have experienced.

the problems

1. Some times when i power off my phone, (like every 10 time), i cant power it back on again. I found the HTC fix for it with charging up the phone and holding down the power button for x ammount of secounds and that fixes it, but my battery is full to start with when the problem happens and a phone new to the market should not have this problem, or? Should i return it to get a new one? or is it a problem most users have? And the problem is not the power button not beeing in the right place, i removed the back many times and the button is placed correct.

2. Sometimes when im playing games or listening to music, all of a sudden my ringtone starts to sound. Like right now, i was playing Anamoly and all of a sudden my ringtone started to sound. My screen did not change, i had no messages about incomming calls, and i checked my music player and nothing was playing there. Anyone had that problem befor?

3. Are the problems maybe related to the ICS? My htc desire dident have any of these problems and it dident run on ICS. if i reflash the rom/change the rom do you think the problems might go away?

4. This is not a question more then a wishing. If i reflash a new room, like cyanogenmod (i really miss them), will the multi-task handling be back? Because as it is now its nothing less then broken. Its really not worth much if you cant get out of a game, check a website, and resume the game, insted it reloads the game from starts =/.

If you have any answers please write in the post or to my inbox. Will be checking it often!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
1) I can honestly say I have never experienced this issue, nor have I seen other users with the same problem.

2) also a strange issue that I haven't encountered, I think you should perform a full wipe and see if it improves, It may also fix the powering on issue.

3) ICS is still a buggy ROM, but i dont think your issues are related to this however, I believe it to be a software issue, Is your phone stock at the moment ? Or do you have custom ROM installed ? If you are all stock, I would do a full wipe including all caches and if you still have these issues, return it for repair before modding it

4) Multi-tasking is good on CM ROMs better than on Sense ROMs anyway, However there is a multi-tasking script from the One X which One S users have been using and getting good results with (me included)

So, Conclusion: Do a full factory reset, See if issues remain or disappear, If they remain, Try to get it replaced by your carrier, If it improves, Consider getting a custom ROM to further enhance its features :p
[HTC One S] aasterix:
Thanks for the reply :)

I will try it and if the problem persist I'll reply here

I updated and lost root. Do I have to get a new unlock_code.bin for the bootloader through htcdev?

EDIT: Wait...looks like it disappeared when relocking the bootloader?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
What disappeared? You won't need a new unlock code unless you change CID however losing root after an OTA is common, just re root and you'll be fine
[HTC One S] Zolor23:
I lost the old unlock_code file. Whatever, I got a new one, and it's all rooted now. :good:

I'm running TrickDroid v5.0 and I'm having problems updating apps.

I attempted to batch update Google+, Instagram, and SwiftKey 3 via Market, but I got the following message for each:

"Package file is invalid"

I was able to update SwiftKey by updating directly from its page in the Market, but was unable to do the same with Google+ and Instagram.

I uninstalled Google+ and attempted to reinstall, but got the "Package file is invalid" message again.

Help!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hey, Go to settings > Apps and find the play store, Clear the cache for this app and see if that improves.

if it doesnt, you should ask in the trickdroid thread, if its a known issue there should be a fix :)
[HTC One S] :
Thanks for the suggestion. I cleared Instagram's cache, but it still is not updating.

I would have posted my question in TrickDroid's thread but I'm not allowed because I'm a new member. However, I did send torxx a PM about it. Hopefully he won't find it annoying that I'm asking him directly.
