Hmm, interesting. Did you flash the interim recovery that Paul O Brien posted, and not another version? Just wanna make sure. I've heard of this happening in my past experience with the Nexus S, but I can't recall what the deal was. Regardless, I don't think you're in trouble. As with your GNex, it's very hard to completely brick the device unless you flash perhaps a bad hboot file, however I'm not really familiar with HTC devices.

This is my first HTC so I'm still trying to learn how the hboot and other processes work together. Sry to hear you had bad luck.

UPDATE: You should try the root install script. It tells the phone to boot after install. That might get you booted atleast.

Some thoughts:

1. Flash the stock recovery back and reflash CWM

2. Clear cache and dalvik within CWM, and make sure to use the 'Reboot System' option if you aren't already.

From what I can tell, your "boot-to-recovery" flag is set on the phone, and isn't getting cleared.
[HTC One S] Thongvilay:
Is this part a must? Would you mind PM'ing me with how to do this part if it's a must? I have Unlocked and rooted my phone, just waiting for a good ROM to come by.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
That step is only if you want to flash ROMs, or need to wipe cache, dalvik, etc. CWM is used for flashing and recovery/backup purposes. If you're not using ROMs yet, then you have no need for it.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
thanks for the tips, i had tried clearing cache/dalvik within CWM and it still would not work. and yes i did flas the interim CWM from paulobrien

luckily the phone would work via ADB while in CWM. So i pushed three different ROMS to the phone, at first each oen would lock up and reboot within 20 seconds of doing anything. I then went back into recovery & wiped data/cache/dalvik maybe 10 times out of sheer frustration. Then re-flashed a fresh copy of black_dragon_v4.0, didnt do anything after boot. just let it sit there till this morning.

now the phone seems to be working perfectly...

so hopefully if anyone encounters this problem my last couple posts will help them out!
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Wow, I have no idea dude. That sounds kinda crazy. Hopefully all will be well in the future and you won't come across it again.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
the only variable i can think of is that i did have the phone about a week before launch. HTC mailed it to me directly.

I thought maybe that had somethign to do with it, but as far as i can tell the phone was the final shipping version.
[HTC One S] amademanmatt:
I sent you a PM, trying to find a solution.

Is anyone else having problems flashing the recovery image?
[HTC One S] kolyan:
yes. its flashing ok, but i cannot access recovery. i tried Touch and non-Touch versions. Phone just reboots when you hit Recovery

SOLVED: DONT USE Official CWM of koush (HTC One S) < BOTH DONT WORK FOR ME, PAULS WORKS FINE
[HTC One S] jdlorinser:
I have a Tmobile One S. If I Root the phone and flash a custom Rom, is there anyway to get the phone back to stock (with the Shipped Factory Tmobile Rom). If so where do I find it?
[HTC One S] androidcues:
yes there is. I believe if you spend not even 3 moments at this website called www.google.com you will find the answer.

EDIT: Bing works as well.
[HTC One S] jdlorinser:
I did search Smart Guy. Instead of taking time to post a smart remark, you could have helped in some way. Wow smh.
[HTC One S] Perion:
I just wanted to thank you for a great post, helped out immensely. Of course, I couldn't go a night after the release without unlocking and rooting.. :)

Now, I did this at 2 in the morning, and was pretty stooopid doing it, luckily I didn't brick my phone, but wanted to point out a couple of things I came across in case it helps out someone else, ymmv.. Remember, always best to figure you ARE going to brick your phone and work from there, if you're not willing to take the chance and consequences, you shouldn't do it, I take no responsibility how you use this, it's just my experience.

Modaco was down when I tried to go through this, so I couldn't get to O Brien's posts and had to do some hunting around for the files, one issue that I ran into was that, somehow, I got hold of R1 Ville rather than R3, don't know how I managed it, but make sure you use R3 for rooting. The All in One Toolkit was extremely helpful, make sure to use the Interim Touch CWM, the other two will NOT work, and put you into a quick reboot when trying to go to recovery.

Also, while it didn't hurt the phone, the Root process in the All in One did not work with my T-Mob one s, noticed some issues with mounting the System folder (already mounted), and missing su in bin/, and any files I wrote to /system being cleared on next restart. R3 worked for me.

While I did go ahead and flash CWM, I'm holding off on a new ROM until we have a definitive stock ROM to fall back to, and to see what little kinks TMOB managed to put into their version of the phone this time.

For the person asking about stock ROM, I did see a recent thread here that someone is working to extract the T-Mob stock ROM, but I'm not sure how far they've gotten yet. Ignore the poster above who probably hasn't figured out there's a difference between the T-Mob publicly released 3 days ago and the Eur version of the One-s.. :)

I don't think you're going to be able to get rid of the Unlocked/Relocked and Tampered tags in the bootloader, I'm going out on a limb and guessing that these are very base toggles for the telco and will be independent of the bootloader, I noticed that the tampered tag came up after my first root attempt, so I'm guessing it checks for any modification to the /system folder, then trips the flag, I'll guess that once that flag is tripped it's going to be VERY difficult to reset it.

Anyway, just my experiences, currently running with a rooted stock rom and interim cwm, looking forward to where the development goes, having a lot of fun with this one.
[HTC One S] jdlorinser:
Thank You sir for the input.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
As far as the "Tampered" message goes, Samsung phones have a "triangle" that shows upon boot to signify that custom roms have been loaded, etc. They also have an app called "Triangle Away" that manages to remove this if you're on ICS. Maybe someone will come up with something similar for us :)

GPS Problem After Unlock and Custom ROM?

Hi,

I have an HTC ONE S Tmobile US version, unlocked, with CWM 5.8.3.1, rooted using Hasoon's All In One Kit. It is currently running Black Dragon 4.0.

Prior to flashing Black Dragon 4.0, I cleared all settings, cache, as well as Davlik cache. Everything seems to work pretty well except the fact that the GPS does not lock on. It gets stuck on the "Searching for GPS" and never locks on.

Anyone else having this issue? Any help of suggestions is appreciated.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
This'll sound funny, but UPgrade to Black Dragon 3.8. Yes, that's correct, upgrade from 4.0 to 3.8. Don't ask.

Anyways, that may solve your issue.
[HTC One S] xibReALix:
Didn't notice the 3.8 was the newer version. Will give this rom a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Help Question

After unlocking the bootloader via HTC Dev, and doing Paul O'Brien's superboot root thing, can I stop there? Or do I have to flash CWM or some rom or anything? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob to this kinda stuff
[HTC One S] Anartic:
I think it's suggested that you flash a custom recovery since that will be the key to flashing custom roms on the phone. If you plan on leaving it stock with just access to root, you should be fine.
[HTC One S] Jordan4804:
Thanks! So if I leave it stock with just access to root, can I still Wi-Fi tether and remove bloatware?
[HTC One S] CESAROX:
Sure can...
[HTC One S] skoll8:
plz help, for some reason when i tried to unlock bootloader through htcdev, i got to step 12 successfully but it doesnt prompt the image of an unlocked lock.
[HTC One S] physx51:
I just did the same thing.

1. Unlocked with htcdev. (easy)

2. Rooted as instructed in this post. (too easy)

3. Flashed Paul O Brien's intermin CWM touch version.

4. Installed Cyanogenmod from zip.

5. Rebooted phone and it goes straight into CWM... and again and again and again.

Tried clearing cache and dalvik cache. I feel like I'm missing something just stupid simple so I'm sorry in advance to those that think I took the short bus to the forum. Any ideas on why I'm in a loop to CWM?

Found this bit at GuidingTech and it seems to have helped get me out of the boot loop. Now I'm booting into CyanogenMod that I installed.

Erase Cache

The first thing you can try to get out of boot loop is to erase the phone cache memory. To do so you will first need to boot into phone’s bootloader and connect the USB cable to the phone. Now open the command prompt in administrative mode and navigate to the folder which contains the Fastboot files and write down the command fastboot erase cache and press enter. After the command is successfully executed, type in fastboot reboot-bootloader and try to reboot your phone.
[HTC One S] RussianBoots:
Ah much thanks. I was going through the One S All in one root when I noticed tmob users were having issues with the root so I came here and figured things out. Much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luistmw:
So i basically want to either remove the pattern or do a factory reset but the phone is not rooted and the power button does not work. i get to the original recovery but i can't select anything because of the broken button. ADB works though. Can anyone help???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
If you flash Glitch kernel i think it has capcasive button selection

Edit:: Misread sorry, you can flash through Odin and it will clear user info. If that didn't work, adb dump and Master clear in Odin
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luistmw:
how???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
What firmware are you on?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luistmw:
i don't know its basically stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leezrd:
Try using an Odin then
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luistmw:
Thanks. I tried but i cant remember bad power button. Only chance i have is either make a jig or desolder the switch from a nother captivate. Or samsung for that matter
[LG Thrill 4G] Acid X:
Recently flashed v20p and rooted using the latest ThrillSeeker ROM (love it by the way, great work) but because I use the phone on Tmobile i do not get the 3g/4g access because i don't have the correct baseband.

Before going to v20p, i had simply flashed the o3d v18a GB baseband and rooted with the Acurateam Ginger ROM. With that rom i was getting 3g and 4g speeds consistently with no issues, but for some reason superuser would deny root to ANYTHING that wasnt itself (except adb shell root requests) and i couldn't fix it no matter what i tried, so thats when i went with v20p and lost 3g/4g in the process.

I tried simply reflashing the o3d v18a baseband in hopes it would work, but it just broke reception all together.

So what I'm asking is: Can anyone provide me info on what baseband i can try to flash (with an easier process to do so, if possible) that will let me use the proper bands for tmobile?

I love the ThrillSeeker rom and am afraid to try and convert my phone to an o3d all together by flashing its firmware and roms but i feel that may be the proper thing to do.. but i have no idea if its the same process.
[LG Thrill 4G] latinohot:
You must not use V20P as is based for the thrill only.

the one I use for my daughter's thrill on t-mobile is V20E
[Nokia Lumia 900] xwill1212:
Music is to quiest even on level 30. What can I do to make it louder?
[Nokia Lumia 900] dr_nxn:
I've had this issue with my own MP3s that I've imported and not downloaded through the Zune Marketplace. Volumes seem to vary a bit, even with Marketplace content that is supposedly normalized, but the only solution is to run your files through an amplification and re-sync. There are a lot of MP3 tools that will allow you to do this in batch... luckily, you'll only have to do it once for the worst offenders and be done with it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
How can i restore my Razr XT910 to its ORIGINAL FACTORY operating system and settings(WITHOUT ROOTING) ?

My Wi-Fi reception is way too low and poor, sometimes it even disconnect !

so i was hoping that by reinstalling the operating system and reseting the original settings i might get it to work properly !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
I hope you already got the help you needed. Otherwise, if you hold down both vol buttons and the power button, wait till the little android with the triangle shows up, then press both vol keys again, you'll be able to access the recovery menu, which is were you can reset it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornaljoe:
I'm mainly trying to edit the eri.xml and apn.xml for a non Sprint carrier. I tried APKTools but it's not really working. I keep getting a java not found error even though its installed. Also it doesn't seem that you can edit this xmls with APKTools anyway. Anyone feel like pointing me in the right direction?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
You can do that straight from your zip archiver. Just open it as a zip. The xml is in res/xml
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
I'm pretty sure eri is encrypted.

He'd have to decompile it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Hmm do you have the android sdk installed and the resources... you need more than the java developemnt kit... you need that version of androids resources and dependencies to decompile it...

And no you can't edit xmls without decompiling the framework completely.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornaljoe:
Where can I get this?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Google android sdk.

Or go to the android.com
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornaljoe:
Already on it thanks.

Edit:

Wow my old developing persona is awakening in me as I watch the SDK install. Look out... maybe a "Hello Epic World" will follow after I'm done with this.
