1- What does kernel and boot.img do?

The kernel is like the middle-man between the hardware and the OS. it holds drivers for the hardware and tells the OS how to interact with the hardware.

2- What is the S-On and S-Off means ?

Security on/ Security off. It is another way to enable the phone to flash different Roms, The only way to flash roms at the moment is to unlock the bootloader but then HTC has a record of all unlocked phones.

3- Is it possible to return my device as it is in the first original rom [bootloader locked, No root] as a new device? and HOW ?

Yes it is, there are tutorials in this section on how to do this.

4-Does MODs works on any room or for specific ones ?

It depends what the mods are and how they are implemented, again it's best to read the threads on the specific mods.

5- What is H-boot ?

H-boot sort of holds the partition layout for the rom, from my experience with my desire different roms fitted different H-boot's. Not sure about anything else.

Added To my knowledge

Thanks All , i appreciate your fast responses
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
S-ON Locked = Security on + Bootloader locked = This is what your phone is out of the box.

S-ON Unlocked = Security on + Bootloader unlocked via htcdev = You can write new system and recovery images e.g. custom firmware. You can't alter the baseband or CID however. HTC run htcdev and know you unlocked it which will affect your warranty.

S-ON Relocked = Security on + Bootloader locked = You unlocked via htcdev and then relocked it. You can't go back to S-ON Locked normally. HTC know that you previously unlocked it.

S-OFF = Security off - You can alter anything you want in the phone including the baseband and CID value which determines what branding you get. You need a third party exploit to get S-OFF as HTC won't let you do it on retail handsets.

HBOOT is the bootloader. If you're concerned about getting S-OFF then you shouldn't update this at all since it may fix a vulnerability that is required later on for S-OFF.
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
Just for info:

Unlocking your bootloader does NOT void your warranty, your warranty is still valid for hardware issues but not software unless you have a branded phone, and if the software change made by you has affected the hardware somehow maybe by overclocking the CPU and frying it then the warranty will not cover it.

It should be noted that S-OFF DOES void all warranty.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
No, it definitely does not mean that.
[HTC One X] wolfraim:
so.... any explanation? xD
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
S-ON = Security ON

S-OFF = Security OFF
[HTC One X] DawoodWN:
Boot.img

Thanks all again..

other question :

[You NEED to flash boot.img via fastboot] HOW To i Do that? [Exact steps please]:confused:
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
is the command you type

Assuming you have the fastboot files in your PC and have the "boot.img" file together in the fastboot files.

1. Power Phone Off by Holding power button for 10 secs

2. select Fastboot with volume + or - then press power

3. plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.

(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK

(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)

4. cd to your fastboot files folder cd c:\fastboot

5. type in your command prompt "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
I did a search, and nothing seems to pop up, then again there are many ways to describe what the title says so it very well could be here and my searching ability just sucks.

I've noticed that UMS under CM9 is slow as hell with my external card, sub 1meg but when I plug it into my computer out of the phone, I pull 8+ MBs transfers (Class 10 card) I've discovered ADB works extremely well and is quite fast. The problem I'm running into is that I'm trying to transfer folders that have spaces in them. Using Windows and Command Prompt it interprets the space as "Insert next command" clearly it's not. Is there a way to have the ADB Pull/Push command work with folders that have a space in the filename?

I.E. I have a band I like called "Dark Moor" I have a folder called "Dark Moor" rather than rename the folder on the computer for transfer then rename on the Android and vice versa, I would like to do something like "adb pull /sdcard/music/Dark Moor /Dark Moor" clearly it doesn't recognise this as acceptable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Simply type the path quoted, like this:

adb pull "path/with spaces/xD"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
Tried that. On Windows 7 it gives me an error about a nonexistant directory or invalid command.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Hmm... look my attachment, I have no errors :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
Yea. I was an idiot. I didn't do the quotes. That worked this time around. For some reason I read your comment as "type what's in the quotes." Looks like my brain is fried this Friday! Leaving the office before I do damage to my work network. Thanks man!

[HTC Sensation] iscarechyu:
Hi, is anyone having problem sending mms with ordroid's rom? If you figured out how to fix it could you please help me? Thanks! :-)
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
Why don't you go and get the fix for MMS or use a other texting app from the market.... if you use the fix that is posted on the OP's page, you have to install it when you first install the rom......
[HTC Sensation] iscarechyu:
Thanks. :)

No Problem I hope that helped you out.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Oualdo:
Hi,

NEW nightly CM9 20120418 for TF201 is out.
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
I am not sure if anyone else is annoyed by this problem, but I am. Everytime I get into my car I have to make sure to take the phone out of my pocket because if i make a call or receive a call using bluetooth, the screen gets unlocked and thus causes accidental button presses while on and after the call.

This is a real problem. I am not sure if HTC is doing anything to address this, but I know that Motorola and iPhone do not do that.

Please help. If you know of any app that will help out let me know.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] paallday:
Lol put the phone with screen faceting out?
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
it doesn not feel very comfortable as the camera lens is rubbing against my leg.
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
Does no one else has this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] paallday:
I think ur phones broke.... Tried it in my buddy's car, screen never comes on...
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
How did you try it? Did you try both inbound and outbound call using car dialer?
[HTC EVO 3D] paallday:
Just out. But screen didn't come on at all maybe it depends on car? R u useing something built into car or external?
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
build into the car bluetooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] MadRed:
anybody has any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I have the same problem. I get really annoyed by it. As soon as the call ends the screen comes up and calls someone else. Sometimes it comes on during the call and I hit the end button I think
[HTC EVO 3D] Mako-Wish:
Still no ideas? I found this on a Google search hoping to find an answer. My old iPhone would stay locked if I answered or made a call via my car's Bluetooth. The screen would light up, so I could see sho was calling, but when I answered, it would stay locked. Not with my androids. Had an Inspire, and now have a One X. Both of them will unlock the screen when answering a call with my car's Bluetooth. SUPER annoying!!! Anybody know of an app to keep the screen locked (display lit up, but locked) when answering with Bluetooth?

Cant open device manager in settings (force close). Its apk named PLUS, some Chinese signs. In Super User it is said that its com.fancy.cm.plustoolbox package. I use alfs ICS kernel, and allowed Super User permission.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I've been laboring away with the amazing XDAndroid devs have put together while waiting for HTC to release a true successor to the TP2 (pro 7 doesn't count, sorry). That will, apparently, never happen.

htc abadons keyboards

No one ever made a better landscape slider, and perhaps now, no one ever will. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
Say it ain't so!

I was still hoping for a TP2 replacement as well... Ugh. I guess w/o a kb, the phones are a lot cheaper to build, and there's a lot less crap to break.

Still sucks... :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Maybe once their billion dollar exclusive is up Nokia will get rid of the trojan Elop MS planted behind their walls, they can support multiple OSs and innovate again. They used to have some really impressive form factors, including two tilting sliders.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] شیرخدا:
Why HTC? Why?

One of the main things keeping me from upgrading is this amazing and very useful keyboard.

Anyway lets hope they change their minds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] whitecracka:
even if something like swype or slideit isn't a satisfactory replacement for a hardware keyboard, imo they definitely improve the usability of a software keyboard. by no means am I against a hardware keyboard (i really like my tp2) but eliminating it from a phone does allow for a much more compact device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Eric Z:
Oh no...;)

I am really a fan of physical keyboard too, and it must be those with a separate row with number-keys, just like our TP2. Without keyboard I will be sure go for a phone with 4.7" screen. But still, it's just not the same good feeling on a keyboard.

but however thanks for posting this "news", at least I know from now I shall not wait from HTC. Maybe Nokia one day??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I actually use a flip phone now, my TP2 is more of a PDA. I'm considering never buying another serious smartphone and just having a dumbish phone and a tablet.

5 lines, offset with comfortable spacing and good feedback was what finally got me to converge. I didn't care about the tilt until I used it, now I don't want to be without that either. If I can't have it, well, maybe I'll deconverge. Better bang for the buck in tablets anyway.
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
Right, so I have stopped development totally, because I just don't have the time.

Currently I am at school, and I have to revise for exams, and with my spare time I should really be revising instead of developing, and I have realised this recently. I want to do good in school so I can go to college to study Maths and Physics.

With the rest of my spare time, I am going to find some work, maybe it will not be consistent but I need to futureproof my bank account, which currently stands empty. I will be hoping to buy an Xperia S, but I will probably end up with another device, its too expensive. I will also need the funds to cover travel and books. And for university :)

If at any time I feel that the conditions change, then I will start development again, say if its the holidays and I have no work or exams or anything. The main issue is the money, my parents won't give me any (that might sound teenagerish, but its not) and I need some. I'm going to sound really greedy here but I would like another Android device.

Anyway, my kernel sources are at: https://github.com/DarkforestGroup so if you want to continue my kernels, and you have sufficient experience, then you can. Otherwise you are free to fork it and use it as a base for your own.

My ROM's will not be updated, and so after time you should use another ROM, because mine will become outdated.

I'm also not going to apply for XDA Recognised Developer status.

Over and out,

Keiran

EDIT:.After thoroughly thinking about it I have decided that I can continue to develop, but only when I have done sufficient revision. I will continue my kernel and ROMs, but they wont be updated as frequently. This is the best I can do :)

And thanks for all of the positive replies.
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
Sorry to see you go, you will be missed :(
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Sad to see you go, You were a very important part of the community, Good luck with your exams (They suck).

Good luck. By the way, you make the best ROMs.

[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Well, this is sudden, and unexpected. I'd bet you've had some bad grades which may have come from your huge dedication to us. It's a wild guess, bit I've been in a similar position in the past. At any rate, the only thing we can do is give you a great applause for your work here and thank you for your huge efforts, plus wish you luck in your future endeavors. You'll be remembered as the young man who stepped up the game on this phone (pun intended). Feel free to come here anytime you like, though some withdrawal may be good right now.

[Xperia Play General] Atarii:
Who are you again? I don't think you posted much on the forums.

Anyways, good luck, whoever you are?
[Xperia Play General] KeiranFTW:
Haha, and you are? :P

Anyways, it was mostly because of coursework, but I've worked out, I can spend a few hours on the weekend so maybe I can do a little development, but nothing heavy.
[Xperia Play General] Atarii:
Haha :p

All jokes aside, it's better to give up something you enjoy in the short-term, instead of ruining things in the long-term. It's really easy to pick up developing again whenever you like, but it's not easy to go back and make up the time to get good grades again. :)

Good luck with things and well done on making this decision now. xda is not going anywhere and all the trolls will still be here. :p
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:

[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
Keiran, you do whatever you need to, bud. I think we are all in agreement here that you don't owe any of us anything, and we all owe you a whole lot of gratitude for all you have done while here. We're all proud just to have known such a creative, intelligent, motivated young man, and we all wish you only the best in the future.

I don't know what things are like in Europe, but here in the colonies :p , a young person with such drive and determination can often apply for and receive scholarships to pay for part or all of his college tuition. I encourage you to look into that.
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Good luck man, hope you the very best.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
To echo what netizenmt said, you should probably look into getting internships that would really allow you to demonstrate your abilities. Not only would they be more likely to contribute to your schooling, but you'd also have your foot in the door for a good career, right off the bat.

As far as developing on Saturdays goes, I would honestly recommend taking a back seat and being the support for other developers around here. That way, you could still contribute as you'd like to, but wouldn't necessarily have the pressure of keeping your own kernels/roms up to speed on your own.

Either way, do what you think is best for your situation, not for what the noobs think they need. Good luck, man, you deserve it.
[Xperia Play General] jjkkyu:
Though I have joined this community not for long, I learned much from your works.

I'm going to have one of my course exam tonight and can understand your situation.

Anyway, put your energy and time on the most important things you think.

[HTC One X] Willieumm:
Does anyone know for sure if we can use Google Wallet with our One X and if not why not? I'm looking for a solid answer, not speculation if anyone knows for sure. Thanks a lot in advance!
[HTC One X] jdunne:
It all depends on your carrier. Even if your unlocked. I'm using an international version on US's AT&T. I can download google wallet, but as soon as I open it tells me my country/carrier is not supported at this time.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
No. You can download it from the Market but when you open it you get "Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device/carrier." I'm hoping it's not the former because it's picking the phone up as being from the UK. If it's the latter I'm hoping that when AT&T launches the One X it'll be Google Wallet certified. That may not benefit us though because the AT&T phone will have a different model number. Bottom line, don't buy the international One X if Google Wallet is one of your hot buttons.
[HTC One X] jdunne:
Unlikely AT&T will ever allow this as I believe all US carriers are collaborating on using an alternative to Google Wallet. The only thing I can think of is to edit build.prop to spoof a UK carrier.
[HTC One X] Willieumm:
Well I'm on AT&T as well and when I flashed the google wallet .apk on my Galaxy Nexus I had no problems using it. It wasn't a download from the market, it was a cwm flashable zip and I was able to use it just fine on AT&T. Could this not be done with our One X just the same?
[HTC One X] brent8577:
if not, then everyone should get back $50+ on their phones. even descriptions on store sites mention NFC and Google Wallet.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
AT&T supports Google wallet on the GN and NS.

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/0...still-nothing-for-the-lte-variant-on-verizon/

Neither HTC or Google can do anything if AT&T doesn't add the device to their supported list. The GN and NS are designed to be used on multiple carriers while AT&T has their own version of the One X(L). You can root your phone to get Google Wallet working but I advice against it as it's way too easy for your financial info to be hacked.
[HTC One X] Evangelion01:
I'm not too sure about that. The application only seems to work on the Nexus devices; even a rooted and unlocked One X with Market Enabler will receive the same error about device compatibility. Sounds to me like Google will have to update Wallet before One X owners can use it.
[HTC One X] beanbean50:
I read the other day that google has suspend Google Wallet for now as it's so easy to hack in to anyone's account...

http://pymnts.com/briefing-room/mob...oogle-Wallet-Prepaid-Capabilities-After-Hack/
[HTC One X] krichek:
That is an old article. Wallet has received a few updates since then and all is working fine again. Wallet itself was never suspended either. The ability to add new Google prepaid cards was turned off for a short time, and the ability to re-add existing Google prepaid cards that had been removed was disabled for a few weeks after that.

If you were an existing wallet user prior to all the hype you were completely unaffected during that entire time so long as you did not remove your existing prepaid card from with the app itself or wipe/reset your device etc.
[HTC One X] mobilehavoc:
I installed Google Wallet on an AT&T One X in store and it had the same error about being unsupported. FYI
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Well, that sucks. They could be supporting the Nexi under pressure/cajoling from Citibank/MasterCard/Google. Do any of the phones they sell directly have NFC and support Google Wallet? Being optimistic the One X launch was pushed up and maybe their just not ready yet. There's still no telling if the international version will work because it has a different network ID. Sigh.
[HTC One X] brent8577:
if there is some hacked version that works, post it here because i will use it. i don't care if it's not secure. i don't keep money in my bank account for long and i have nothing to hide. ;p
[HTC One X] mobilehavoc:
FWIW, I think it uses Market to determine carrier and I'm guessing build.prop possibly for device. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work especially since AT&T is officially supports so it's just the device you have to get over.
[HTC One X] bufodill:
It worked on my Galaxy nexus with market enabler. It doesn't with my one X...

Is there any way to fool the phone in to thinking it's a galaxy nexus?
[HTC One X] mobilehavoc:
Pretty sure you can fake it in build.prop
[HTC One X] bufodill:
So... anyone wanna try? :)

Wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that the wallet app would accept it if it believes it runs on a galaxy nexus on t-mobile us?
[HTC One X] Willieumm:
How? I tried changing my carrier to t-mobile us with market enabler and had no luck.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
it's my guess that after the security flap, google has really beefed up the barriers for wallet. i've read that google is working on whatever has to be done to jump through the hoops in the eu to enable wallet, so if that happens things might change. or maybe if an agreement is reached with at&t, for example, to enable wallet on its one x's that would change accessibility. otherwise everything i've read says no joy on this right now.
