hi!

I'm going to buy HTC one S. Can you tell me if T-mobile version can flash custom rom or not?

Thanks
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Yes you can flash any ROM on a Tmobile One S.
[HTC One S] unk2009:
Once again, thank you for your help... I searched Google for the Firmware update 1.78 , but no luck yet... If I find a flashable version I'll post it :cool:
[HTC One S] unk2009:
I have that version and I am rooted :rolleyes: via HTC Dev and an all in one tool kit provided by Hasoon2000 (I am in no way affiliated with this kit, be sure to Google it and thank him) there are other options for unlocking the bootloader... I would suggest a quick search, and read through them to find what may be best for you... Good luck

If I've been of any help please hit the thanks button

that toolkit is amazing

my phone is currently locked to the Three network, but I'm going to be paying them to unlock it for me. If I root and install a customer ROM will it revert back to the locked status or remain unlocked? I'm not sure how it works when a network unlocks it for you?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Nope, Once unlocked... always unlocked :)
[HTC One S] blind_gangsta:
I have searched to the best of my ability and can't find an answer to this so here goes..

My phone came with Orange UK software and locked to the orange network, I have unlocked it now and have a 3 UK simcard in the phone. I also rooted and installed trickdroid rom.

I need to update to later radio firmware and have tried going back to stock to do so and also tried following the steps in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644371

What can I do? Do I need to wait until orange release the update or until 3 do? Is it dependant on my sim card or the original network my phone was provided by?

Thanks a lot
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you will have to wait until orange release it, as your phone will have the orange CID number.. However, when you know it has been officially released, you might have to put an orange sim card in to receive it.
[HTC One S] blind_gangsta:
Thank you - at the point that orange release it will it update ok from the ROM provided in the "[HOW-TO] Upgrade matching Radio for new ROM base" thread?

Also someone said in another thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642524&page=8

that Orange had released it!? does anyone have a definitive answer on the sim card issue? I'll have to order one if so.

thanks again
[HTC One S] :
My question is on going back to stock radio for 1.53, read a lot but still not 100% sure on safe process

I am currrently Unlocked/Rooted/Stock 1.53 with some HTC removed. Flashed torxx EU rom 1.70, but then restored my previous nandroid, so back to stock 1.53/rooted

I understand how to upgrade radio for 1.78, but if i flash say Ledroid 1.78 with boot.img/new radio and then want to go back to stock 1.53, what is easiest way.

Can I just--

1. Flash LeDroid's stock boot.img he provides then restore my stock nandroid

2. Just restore my nandroid and have it replace 1.78 boot.img back to stock radio--I don't think this works as radio shouldn't be touched by nandroids. Just thought I read it somewhwere. Never did on my N1 anyway.

3. RUU

Understand to get an OTA I will have to flash stock recovery first and maybe relock as I have read in some cases

Also, what radio is this, not latest I am sure but later than the .15 I have been seeing--

0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L

[HTC One S] ErriK89:
ok thanks for the answer, I hope that someone will begin develop s-off on one s soon, I've read that s-off for one x is in development.

Stuck at sending unlocktoken

Hey, I just got a T-Mo One S and was following the root tutorials and when i try to unlock the bootloader I get stuck saying that it is Sending unlocktoken (0kb)... I have verified the Unlock_Code.bin is stored in the correct folder. I have also double checked that i entered the correct info into the htcdev site

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Didnt you get an Orange SIM with the phone ? if not you can get them for free off the website.

You do not have to downgrade radio to downgrade ROM, the newest radio will work with any ROM, Restoring nandroids does not affect radio. Inside the boot.img is the kernel, You should also be able to downgrade ROM without downgrading the boot.img, however if it fails to boot, Just flash the stock boot.img and restore nandroid :)

or to go completely stock everything (say you want to return it) just relock bootloader and run RUU

And finally 0.16 Radio is the latest

Hi, Do you have the correct drivers installed ? I would start the whole procedure again, You said that

Which tells me something went wrong as the unlock code is 0kb is size so there cannot be any information inside of that file..
[HTC One S] happysteveo:
Hi all,

I have a problem in that I went to flash a rom(did nandroid backup) and now I have a boot loop where I cannot get any further than the white htc screen with the red htc developer warning.

I can get in to cwm recovery but I can't mount the sd card, I have flashed roms via fastboot but they wont show up on the sd.

Is there a way to flash a stock rom via ruu?

I have never gone down the ruu method before so I have no idea what to do or what I need to download, could someone point me in the right direction to do this please?

My phone is unbranded international btw :)

Thanks,

Steveo.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hey Steveo ( Not the one from jackass right ? )

What ROM where you trying to flash ? Some of the newer ROMs require a boot.img to be flashed before the ROM, Maybe this is causing your bootloop ?

Have you restored your nandroid backup yet ? If so, does that boot ?

Its impossible to use Mount USB Storage in CWM, This is something to do with the kernel i believe and cannot be fixed until we have the Kernel Source Code.. However it is possible to use adb to push files to the phone..

An RUU is a complete tool that restores everything to stock, Stock ROM, Stock Recovery the full monty..

However, I dont think you need to go down this route just yet !

@azzledazzle

Appreciate reply/info

This radio/baseband stuff has me confused as a non-tech person. With my N1 I just fastbooted a radio.img and was done with it. My last rom on it was ISC 4.0.4.

N1 was by HTC. So, confused on all this need to flash "boot images" on this phone independent of rom. I know it was said after 4.0.3 you can't flash the newer (1.78) boots due to no S-off, I think. Must be baseband and phone related as I did it before I S-off'd my N1 with Blackrose.

If I have latest radio "for US" I assume, the different numbers at the end of the baseband number btw mine and other listed basebands is just for regional purposes and I won't gain anything radio wise if I flash LeeDroid or any other 1.78, which has a different baseband number, although still .16.

I guess the confusion comes in where with the N1 I fastbooted the radio.img, to update radio. And, I fastbooted boot and system .img's to to flash a rom, minus data.img, in certain situations. Here we are fastbooting the boot.img or running a pre-made batch to update radio. So, being an idiot, I thought by flashing a rom with 1.70 or my stock bu (1.53) would overwrite baseband/radio.

I am going to flash LeeDroids new version when up today/tomorrow and will assume I don't have to worry about radios anymore unless that one doesn't perform well for me in US.

And, unless I totally misunderstand this--probably do--flashing any other rom will not change my radio. Only way to do that is to fastboot a different radio image, not boot.img, offered by a dev or to RUU.

Ken
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well the boot.img contains kernel and other **** NOT the radio. You can flash boot.img's without being S-OFF, However to flash radio.img you MUST be S-OFF or as you said running an RUU

flashing roms wont affect the radio whatsoever :)

There is ways to flash the radio.img so if the new radio doesnt cut the mustard you can revert back to the older one, Not that you should need to as newer releases always contain improvements and fixes.

I hope this made sense :) it did in my head lol

Take out what? :P HTC One S battery is non-(user)-removable!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
haha battery is non remove-able.. Leave the phone off for a while so it cools down...

Then try again..

If no luck i would send it back ASAP... this should not be happening on a 1 week old device

Guess I'll leave it to azzledazzle

Sorry.

[HTC One S] undercover:
loled at "remove battery" (no offence malybru :))

Try "3 finger salute". Hold power, vol- and vol+ down simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. Hopefully it will do a reset/reboot.
[HTC One S] ptweasel:
I don't have this phone... yet (shakes fist at T-Mobile), but wanted to give some general info on 5ghz 802.11n.

5ghz 802.11n operates on the old 802.11a band. So, with pretty much any computer equipment, if it doesn't also say that it supports 802.11a then it doesn't have a radio capable of doing 5ghz 802.11n.

Now I just have to wait a few more long weeks to get mine :)

Could a mod please pin this thread? new users will rather start new threads instead of looking for a help-thread in the deeps of the general section

Amen !!! it would be great if this was 'stickied' :D:D
[HTC One S] malybru:
:D
[HTC One S] O_G:
I do have threads like this in my other forums, they generally do a good job. But would you be willing to update the first post regularly with a kind of FAQ, this cuts down on the same questions getting asked over and over. You can tell people to read the whole thread until your blue in the face, it just does not happen.

Here is a example of a good one. Would you or another good user be prepared to build something similar over time? I can add extra posts as required.

If so then i would be prepared to sticky such a thread.
[HTC One S] QuintusDias:
Great thread! I'll check back here when I get my One S:)

For now, how do I survive until then?:(
[HTC One S] Taiko0:
I tried that, all it does is blinking the button backlights five times, then it vibrates and that's it.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Hi, Yes I am willing to update the thread with some FAQ's, I am also willing to spend hours helping assist people (unless my GF boots me off the computer) And hopefully over time, If I see regular contributors I would be more than happy to make a team with them (if they would accept)

I would be grateful if this was stickied, I do not know the answer to everything, But as i mentioned a few posts back, If we all chip together i recon we can conquer the world !!!!........... Or at least the HTC One S :p

Thanks...... Cant click thanks, Im all out sorry !

[HTC One S] greenkabbage:
The Snapdragon S4 is supposed to support 2.4 and 5GHz bands for Wifi, see http://www.qualcomm.eu/products/snapdragon but I think the problem is that HTC didn't add another antenna header to the circuit, so retrofitting probably won't work unless a magical dual-band antenna exists.

I guess that's another trade-off they made to keep the One S slim :/
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
As has been mentioned before, the Imagesense seems to be part hardware image processor and support from the Camera.apk. HTC has no reason or obligation to reveal the drivers for their proprietary chip, so unless someone does some serious reverse engineering I doubt that AOSP ROMs can take full advantage of the cameras features due do the missing driver...

What router is that? And what firmware / mod if available? I have seen routers that do "N" but do not support 2.4GHz but it would be the first one I hear that does N only on 5 GHz. And indeed, the phone itself does not seem capable of the 5GHz band.

My network is dual band, I run two SSIDs one for legacy b/g on 2.4 GHz and N restricted to 5GHz only. Phone won't see the N only network, but when I switched the router to do N on 2.4 it was visible.

You press and hold the VolDown key all the time while pushing power? And it does not go to Bootloader? What happens when you connect it to the charger? Does the LED come on? If that does not happen the device sounds indeed fried.
[HTC One S] Taiko0:
Yes, I hold it down all the time, and no, it doesn't go to bootloader. The led doesn't come on either, when I connect the charger. I'll talk to support tomorrow...

anyone else think its weird why so many went to the one x? i get it..its quad core..besides that im lost..what else is there..the massive screen and crap battery life? the processor is a common debate of..is it really necessary on a phone lol. plus if the screen was such a plus point the htc sensation xl was released?with sense 4 already being on here,i think development for both phones will be slow..now once asop is onboard then it will begin i reckon? does seem quiet in here..not fussed i know i made the right choice lol..my batterys lasting ages and i use my phone a lot!

yep i know im ranting a bit but im still working out reasons for the mass flocking lol.

anyway back to question time,anyone else underclocked yet as i have and its fine.as i stated im getting great battery life with the s..my desire hd used to run out way to quick!
[HTC One S] :
lol--it made sense to Einstein when he explained his stuff too--:)

I have looked at boot image structure before and never saw radio in it. Just a lot of posts talk about fastbooting the boot.img since no s-off. And, giving you latest baseband/radio. Guess this is a terminology issue with baseband and radio. I thought the baseband controlled the radio and they are two different things, not one and the same.

Either way, no more dumb questions. As, my radio is the latest and if I flash LeeDroid, and want to restore my last stock nandroid, no issues.

Thanks, Ken
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
well thats news to me lol.. to think i made a thread to help noobs, I am the noob lol

anyway, you wont have any issues, just always keep an upto date nandroid.. you can never have enough backups.
[HTC One S] :
always nandroid and bu sdcards

never had a problem I couldn't resolve after two years flashing on N1, will figure it out here "knock on wood"

off we go to flashing my second one s rom

btw azzledazzle, your thread is great and very helpful to noobs and people who once were and again are noobs--:)

[HTC One S] happysteveo:
No, I'm not quite as daring as that Stevo lol

I couldn't access the internal sd, it just wouldn't mount no matter what I did, couldn't access my nandroid, or the original rom, couldn't push anything on via fastboot.

Was trying trying to flash the leedroid one supreme rom at the time when it went wrong.

Now gone down the RUU route and restored so I can start again, so all good now :)

so I recently aquired this phone, quite satisfied with it so far other than the horrendous keyboard (switched to ics one).

anyways the question:

landscape mode in messaging applications, I see a huge keyboard plus one massive field to type in without any visibility on the previous messages send and received (I'm used to the iphone) I want to know if its possible to have this visible while in landscape.
[HTC One S] Jundstars:
One S will be out in India soon. but am having second thoughts after looking at the Galaxy Nexus stats.

Quite impressive when you consider its cheaper than the expected price of One S.

Particularly like the display and the larger screen.

Processor and build quality probably wont match HTCs ofcourse.

Someone help me decide.:confused:

Linux help

So i skimmed thru this post and also other tutorials online, mostly dealing with Root and Roms and such.

My issue is I need assistance with unlocking the BL using Ubuntu. I have the SDK installed and such and I am registered at HTCdev.com. I just keep seeing people ending up in boot loops or no boots with what they say " red writing saying tampered, won't boot right to Android like normal".

Basically I'm wondering if someone can assist me with first just unlocking the BL using a Linux machine. I dont' want to brick my brand new phone. Once unlocked I know I can flash recovery and roms. I'm a crack flasher who came from first the G1 and the Vibrant.

This is my first time with unlocking a BL and I only have my Linux machine.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Go for what you feel is better, Better for you in terms of cost and feel, Obviously my opinion would be biased because i have the One S :p But the Galaxy nexus IS a great phone.

Has for the MAO issue, Im not sure if it been addressed, It should have been now, with new batches being made. But that only affects the black version anyway, If you get it in silver / gray you will be fine.

Well for me, I dont have this issue, I use Swype Keyboard and LeeDriod's ROM, So i would assume in your case it is the keyboard which causes that.

Try an alternative keyboard and if that doesnt make it any better, Take the plunge into a custom ROM :) you wont regret it

Hey man, Sorry im not a whizz with linux :( used it for a while but i couldnt adapt to the differences lol.

Anyway ive stumbled upon this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...bootloader-through-htc-dev-linux-edition.html So give that a thorough reading and you should be fine
[HTC One S] joontje:
Thanks for the response!

At the moment i am using TrickDroid v3.1, it looks a lot like the original but supposedly its better, listening to music about 8hrs a day and the battery at the end of the day lies around 40% so im quite satisfied with that.

I switched from the Original HTC keyboard that comes with it to the Stock ICS keyboard, it seems i have more room but as the keyboard frees up space the textbox only gets bigger (and i dont really like swype sorry :( )

So you think the solution would be the LeeDroid ROM ?
[HTC One S] -Leviathan-:
Hi guys.

I've got an HTC One S branded with the Vodafone Italy rom.

The rom is full of crapware, as usual with the brandend roms...

There is a way to debrand it and install the no brand europe stock rom

Thank you
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Sure man ! give it a try, you got nothing to lose. Make a nandroid beforehand that way if you dont like leedroid, just resotre the nandroid

You cannot debrand an RUU nor flash an unbranded RUU on a CID other than HTC__001 (unless you have supercid)

Ok, and for the supercid we need the s-off, that is actually in development.

Correct?

n00bISH

T-mobile USA Stock.

I want to get the pure android experience as I gave Sense a month now and I am not liking it at all. Looks like CM9 is the closest thing to get. Correct? I have used HTC Nexus One for 2 1/2 years and got accustomed to the pure android releases.

Today 05/24/12 I see another friendly competitor emerged, AOKP JollyRancher. My reserch shows that this ROM is like CM9, or in other words close to vanilla ICS. Any thoughts on CM9 vs. JollyRancher? Did I understand correctly that JR is a universal ROM and not HTC ONE S specific, if so issues with this?

When you install a new ROM you reset everything, correct? Then, when you install updates, patches, extra features do you reset everything again, or only if you install completely new ROM. Example: if I install cm9 alpha now, will the next release make me re-install my apps, settings again?

When, and hopefully soon, HTC releases the kernel code, will this expedite the completion of CM9, etc? Will we get at all official version? Will this benefit my device since it is T-mobile branded? Do HTC really wait 90-120 days to release HTC codes, based on previous devices?

Even we have several ROM version did they address the multitasking issue, where apps are killed in background, browser reloaded, or this will be fixed once the kernel code is released?

...Looks like HTC ONE X got completed CM9 version. Isn't possible to be modified and used in HTC ONE S?

I see ~10 ROM version for this device. Some of them quite similar. It would be nice if developers could join efforts to finish ~2-3 distinct versions.

....Some question might not sound logical but this my understanding so far

Thank you!

Ok, Use adb to reboot recovery, If it takes you to CWM then recovery is installed correctly, If it doesnt you will need to flash it via fastboot.

Once you have done that let me know, If you do get into CWM, do a full reset and try to reboot.

The red writing on boot up is normal dont worry about it..
