First things first have a nandroid on your phone and pc and a sdcard bu on pc

Second follow OP flashing instructions

Third always wipe System in addition to data/caches btwn roms and version updates with major changes

Fourth find out your hboot if you don't know as some roms will not flash the kernel with rom and you will have to fastboot. Especially if hboot is .13 or higher

I usually fastboot kernel right after rom by booting into fastboot after rom flashes. Although, lately and since I have hboot .06, haven't fastbooted kernel anymore

I follow these step 100% and never have boot issues or many problems others mention--

I lost data, but rooted as soon as I got phone home. So, nothing to lose.

Follow my steps above. Especially with backups before rooting. MyBackUp Pro is good--from Market--there are others

Ok thanks. I come from the shooter, so I'm not to sure about this phone, but my roommate wants CM on it. But only if she can backup her angrybirds progress and a few others(lame). I use TB and always have, is My Backup Pro like TB but without root? If so, I can handle that.

TWRP

Hello all,

I just installed ViperOneS as a test (I wanted voice search), and it looks great. The only problem is that it tells me that I have updates, but will not install them (validation error). By looking at the forums I saw several people saying that I need to flash the TWRP, but I could not find info on what this TWRP is.

So my question is....what is TWRP? How do I install it on my phone? I found some info on another website, but it was a bit vague, and they only had instructions for windows (and I have a mac computer).

Thanks again!
[HTC One S] kirkcody:
its and advance recovery that offers more options than stock recovery.....the easiest way to install it is to use the htc one s all-in-one-kit, you have too have your boot loader unlocked to do such....its in the development section if your looking for it.
[HTC One S] :
MyBackUp Pro is not as extensive as TB. But I used it before rooting years ago and still use it. Google it.

Klins aokp rom runs great
[HTC One S] nushura:
Hei there and thanks for the quick response. I just installed the viperOneS, so it is rooted, and with bootloader unlocked.

I found the all-in-one-kit but unfortunately it only works with windows. Is there a way of installing it with a mac?
[HTC One S] :
Not for Mac

Just download Goo Manager from Market. Open it. Open Menu and tap on Install OpenScriptRecovery. It will install twrp.
[HTC One S] nushura:
Perfect. Worked like a charm. I am installing 1.1.1 now thanks a lot!! :D

USB Device Not Recognized, Will not remain connected

Hello,

I have an HTC One S on T-Mobile, unrooted, S-ON, and locked bootloader (Android 4.0.3; Software Number 1.84.531.2 710RD). I have not tampered with it in any way - it has only undergone normal use. As I am considering rooting soon, I attempted to connect my phone to the computer to back it up. However, I have been having problems with my computer (Windows 7, x64) not being able to recognize my phone. Every time I connect it, a popup appears in the Windows notification area stating that my "USB Device Not Recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". Sometimes, if I'm lucky, the device connects and appears as a removable device in Computer. At first it has no information, then after a few seconds the blue storage bar indicating how much data is used appears. I can then access my device for about a minute or so, and then it won't let me anymore. In Computer, the device changes to removable device with a description of FAT32, and its contents do not exist anymore. However, this does not occur very often, and the majority of the time, my phone is either not recognized at all (even though I can hear the device connected noise in Windows) or Windows states that it has malfunctioned.

I have tried many things to fix this error, but so far none have worked. I have attempted to connect with USB debugging both disabled and enabled, and have tried changing connection settings from Charge Only to Disk Drive and even to HTC Sync Manager. I actually have HTC Sync version 3.2.20 installed, which I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple time, with my antivirus off during installations. I have tried multiple cables, neither of which work. I have tried all the USB ports on my laptop, but the problem still occurs.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this error? Could it possibly be an issue with the drivers, and if so, how would I fix it? I have looked everywhere, but none of the advice I have found has worked, and I am becoming very irritated at my phone and computer.

Potential One S buyer trying to do due diligence.

How stable are CM10 and AOKP and what are the current bugs?

Do you users for see the One S being dev supported (at least CM) for a long time?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] :
They are both daily drivers for me--but, you can glean more info by scanning the threads

As for your last question--who knows. but, I would think so--
[HTC One S] thanamesjames:
Thanks for the quick reply, if they're daily drivers for you they probably are for me! I've been looking over the CM10 thread, and it's mostly problem posting, as the op has asked for no thankyou posts. So as a whole the thread kind of reads negatively even though I figured it was pretty stable.
[HTC One S] :
Depends which CM10 thread. One is pure dev the other in Q&A is Discussion. But you will get mostly issue posts compared to positives. I **** klin's aokp.

Important thing is proper flashing and wiping system as well as data/caches

Also, knowing your hboot so you know whether you have to flash kernel thru fastboot or whether it will flash with rom

Some questions regarding ROMs

Hi..

Ehm, im kinda new to custom roms and so on so bear with me pls :D

I have a One S with Stock 4.0.4

Its unlocked and rootet.

So now i thought i might try some custom roms, especialy CM nightlies with Jelly Bean.

A couple of questions.

1. i guess i will loose all my data (at least those on the internal storage) and applikations, configurations and so forth?

- is there a way to back things up in a way that i flash CM10 and then get all my apps and configurations (as far as aplicable on JB) back on my phone in one go?

I have heard of

a) Titanium Backup. Is the free version capable of doing so?

b) the command adb.exe backup -all from the Android SDK

i guess b) just makes a complete backup and if i try to restore this on CM10 ROM i end up haveing stock 4.0.4 installed again? Right?​

`

2. Is there a way to make a snapshot of the current state of my phone (maybe that adb.exe backup -all command) so that i can safely load that snapshot back to my phone and all is good again? i want to try to flash CM10, try it out and if its not what i was looking for or in case something goes wrong i want to be sure to be able to go back to a working state with all my stuff installed.

3. Do i have to back up the SD Storage? Or will it stay untoched by wipes and such?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] steiner84:
ok , meanwhile i installed cwm via ROM manager and successfully backed up my phone.

I tried installing CM10 but all i get is infinite bootlogo of CM. I logged the boot with adb logcat and i get thousands upon thousands of lines like

E/SchedPolicy: add_tid_to_cgroup failed; policy=1

anyone knows what causes this and what i have to do in order to get CM10 working?

I didnt download from within the ROM Manager, instead i manually downloaded "cm-10-20120927-NIGHTLY-ville.zip" from the CM Website.

before is installed CM i cleare data cache and dalvik cache.

Any suggestions?

Hi

I'm trying to unroot my phone by running an RUU and flash a stock rom but i can't seem to find the files. If i'm honest i don't like the idea of flashing a rom just for an update, i'd rather get the update over the air.

Hi, i want to update my Rom from (inofficial) AOKP 3.0 to 3.1

How do i do this without loosing my entire apps and settings?

Is it the correct way to make a nandroid, factory resetting then flashing rom and gapps and then restoring the nandroid?

Or is this the completely wrong attempt? :D
[HTC One S] :
ALWAYS have a nondroid on phone and pc, plus sdcard bu on pc

If going from 3.0 to 3.1. Boot into recovery and flash 3.1 followed by gapps. No wipes needed. I don't lose anything doing that.

Between different roms and major updates, say to framework etc, do full wipes to include System--

[HTC One S] Stainless7221:
Thank you. I just read your post in the actual AOKP Thread, but cant post there yet.

I also wanted to ask if the link ville.giev.de with the radio flashing tutorial you just posted there is up-to-date.

I want to flash another radio (EU) [RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2] because i am on stock and it draines the battery quiet a lot.

Also: Can you recommend a kernel? Is klin1344's kernel the best atm?

Third Question: Do i have to reflash the rom when i change kernel and/or radio?

Thanks
[HTC One S] :
I always use stock kernels, even when running klin's aokp rom. They just work better for me.

That site is up-to-date. Just make sure you know what hboot you have and flash accordingly--
[HTC One S] Stainless7221:
Last question, you probably overlooked it in my previous post, i edited it in ^^

"Do i have to reflash the rom when i change kernel and/or radio?"

Thank you a lot!
[HTC One S] :
Sorry, no rom won't be effected. Some wipe caches after the flashing though. Kernel must match rom though, so even with dev kernels(boot images), make sure they are listed for your rom.

I just tried flashing the RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2 / 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L Radio.

I did it with the tutorial on ville.giev.de, which means just flashing the zip in TWRP and rebooting. The step "Installing Radio Image" took like 5 minutes. Also it didn't work, it still shows the old radio under baseband in hboot aswell as in the phone menu. I tried this 2 times already. Can somebody help me? (Hboot version is 1.14)

Thanks.
[HTC One S] bsd1101:
our Hboot is too high. I have the same problem. We need to wait for S-off then we can flash radio by itself.
[HTC One S] :
I wouldn't be flashing radios without getting up to speed on the phone and its flashing procedures/restrictions. Also, get a nandroid on your phone and pc and a sdcard bu on pc for insurance.
[HTC One S] Stainless7221:
Yeah, i read that, but on the link you provided, they said that TWRP wasnt restricted, i misunderstood that, my fault.

Everything else is working like a charm ^^

Paranoid Android ROM

[Q] Paranoid Android ROM

1. Download ROM

2. Download Gapps

3. Do a full wipe in recovery

4. Flash in TWRP or CWM recovery

5. Extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot

Re the above installation instructions:

Do I have to download the ROM and Gapps on a pc then transfer to my phone or can I download using my phone?

Flashing in TWRP - I presume I have to flash both the ROM and Gapps, does it matter in which order this is done?

What's the "uncommon" common knowledge?

Hi all,

I'm coming from an HTC Incredible on VZW to a One S on T-Mobile.

I've been lurking around trying to get the lay of the land, and I'm asking if there's any "common knowledge" that you're expected to have but nobody tells you about until you stumble across it.

Examples from the Inc are things like: CM7 and later don't have 720p recording. Camcorder is broken in CM9/10 (okay, not entirely anymore). Flashing an RUU from HBOOT requires a precisely named file and your SD card must be FAT32, not FAT16, etc. It's info that's available, but underdocumented (initially, if not still).

What kinds of things am I "expected to know" about the One S? For example, it looks like nobody's managed (or bothered trying) to root without unlocking the bootloader. Is that correct? There's no S-OFF or Eng bootloaders available? Is there anything that doesn't work on non-Sense based ROMs, like Camera/Camcorder features? Picture quality is comparable? Can an RUU be flashed from HBOOT if placed on /sdcard? If so, what's the proper filename (e.g. PB31IMG.zip)?
[HTC One S] dc211:
I don't think we know a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader.

On a Non-Sense rom the things that currently don't work are: Advanced camera functions made possible by the Image sense chip (these will never work on a non-sense rom). Picture quality I think is comparable, I can't recall anything about the camcorder features. WIFI Calling for TMOUS won't work on a non-sense ROM. Some of the recent radios don't allow wifi teather with the screen off on either the stock rom or AOSP based roms (I think they will have this resolved soon though for AOSP Roms). The last report I saw on FM radio was that it wasn't working very well but I don't know the current status.

There is no S-OFF or eng bootloaders. But here is a run down on what we CAN do with s-on

Root

Unlock Bootloader

Change Radios (recent discovery for later hboots)

Change Kernels

Super cid

And a lot of phones can SIM unlock also

A RUU cannot be flashed by being placed on the SD Card I believe that requires an ENG Hboot and an ENG hboot requires S-OFF.

The only other thing of note off the top of my head is that on Hboot 1.13 or later the kernels (boot.img) must be flashed in fastboot or using TWRP's dumlock feature. It's annoying but once you get the dumlock figured out it's not horrible.
[HTC One S] ardax:
First of all, thanks for the info! It's been enlightening.

Bummer. :( Can't say I'm surprised about that.

That's stuff I haven't seen mentioned yet. Thanks for the info!

That's unexpected. With the Incredible an RUU could be flashed from the bootloader by simply placing the correctly named .zip file on your SD card. Without S-OFF, the phone needed to validate the signatures, but S-OFF allowed for flashing things like custom recoveries and splash screens from the bootloader. I expected the One S to work the same way.

I thought that the 2 were sightly different (and unrelated) beasts -- though it'd probably be a significant hack to get an ENG HBOOT onto one of these without achieving S-OFF first.

Good to know. So TWRP is the preferred recovery for the One S? What about CWM? I saw that 5.8.something is available. Recovery is one area where I like to have a lot of trust in the authors. Koush generally does good work, and TWRP is only very very recently usable on the Inc. Looks like I need to let that go though and get used to TWRP.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
As long as it is signed with HTC's key, you can flash it from HBOOT I think. But not custom ROMs or software etc, unless maybe your bootloader is unlocked.
[HTC One S] ardax:
That makes more sense. Thanks!
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
This is not true about WIFI Calling. It does work on a non-sense ROM, however it does not work without the TMOUS framework. What that means is you cannot use any ROM except those build off the TMOUS image. This includes all of the AOSP, AOKP, and all ROMs built on international ICS images or S3 builds.
[HTC One S] ardax:
Are there any source-built ROMs that include the TMOUS framework? Can it be modded into other ROMs?

I know it's technically possible to get WIFI calling based on the newer version working on a AOSP rom. However, it doesn't exist. I don't know of ANY rom that can use WIFI calling based on the new framework for any phone. I've seen some phones get it that was based on the old APK but none based on the new framework.

The T-mobile SGS3 guys are offering $340 to anyone that can get it work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1922861

To clarify myself though I was wrong in saying that it won't work on Non-Sense roms. Wifi calling doesn't work on ANY rom that isn't based on a TMOUS version. It doesn't work on unbranded HTC roms either and it doesn't work on AOSP based roms at all. Parts of Sense can be stripped out but it has to be based on a TMOUS version to work.

I'd love to be wrong so I could use it but I won't give up AOSP for it.
[HTC One S] InsolentMinx:
anyone? :angel:

thanks :)
[HTC One S] WCCobra:
That is 100% correct. And by WiFi calling, we are referring to TMOUS's free, built in WiFi calling feature. Obviously Skype, GrooveIP ,etc, work on any ROM. There are some ROMs in the dev section which are built off of the TMOUS rom (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.)... you just have to search really hard to find them.
