[HTC Desire S] moonjak:
Hey everyone!

Just bought my first android ( well any smartphone really ) and decided to go with this trusty HTC Desire S (294€). Even the 3.7" screen seems big to me and i couldnt imagine my self having any bigger phone than this...like most of the new models have... im in need of phone now so could'nt wait for Primo Allso the looks we're really appearing compared to One V and some sony arc minis etc... so this is it for me... This phone will be my future 3-4 years as i'm mostly used to use phone to talking..

now i wish this new phone to help me with calendar for work mostly and some www surfing&facebook&gps and camera that works and is with me when needed.

wanted to ask all of you cause this phone has been on market over year now and im all new to any smartphones that what should i do? so much inform on the pages i cant follow, witch rom/sense etc to upgrade.

i see all those roms&senses and stuff... im going to follow the newbie guide for battery optimising with tasker and stuff, but any direction what should i do to get best out of the phone...

i read the phone has gorilla glass and update to android 4.0 + sense ?

what is the use for all that rom upgrades? any trusty roms to recommend?

what is rooting and should i do it?

what is S-on S-off hboot?

So, is there on some working roms/upgrades any amazing features over the original i should be looking into?

phone is my notepad/calandar for work and facebook&camera on freetime...

happy summer everyone!:)
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
Frankly, as you are new, don't get into rooting and flashing new roms, hang around the forums, read a lot about it, make yourself comfortable and then get into it.

Enjoy the room that HTC has given you for some time.....

[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Welcome mate!

At the very first I would suggest you to get used to your phone. Check out all stock functions, applications, settings etc. before you go the rooting way (because this is what needs to be done if you're interested in any custom ROM).

I would deal at least a week with my stock phone, there are many new things to explore :-)

Second, after you got used to your phone a little bit, you should spend some days only reading this forums (guides, tutorials etc..). Since you want to spent the next 3-4 years with your phone I think you don't want to mess it up. Go the safe route like I did some months ago, read up what needs to be done and try to understand a little bit how things work, before you attempt to do anything.

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] moonjak:
Ok mates.. its just.... i've used to oc the hardware i own to get the juice out... i thought with all this rom etc.. the software has been tweaked to best... so its worth doing... i'll be hanging here for sure a long time so no hurry... just anxious to learn what the phone is capable...

thanks for repplys... still i think i'll end up tweaking it to suit my needs and get best performance like with all stuff i own... just the more reliable&secure the better...

[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
Go to the general and dev section, read all the stickies in both then mod away, uta your phone after all. If in doubt search on the forum and good then ask on here, following all the stickies u should have access to fool proof info but if your ever having problems there is almost always someone online who can help

Also, /dev/block/bml5 is the kernel, and modem's bml10

A partition table (without the entries for the first and second stage bootloader, param and efs partitions is available here :

[Galaxy 3 General] tom3q:
The GPU is called FIMG-3DSE (rev. 1.5.3), so maybe it's better to use this name in the first post.

I would also add information about USB switch - FSA9480 and try to find the model of LCD controller, PMIC chip(s), modem and other sensors (akm8973 is only the compass/magnetometer).

For partition table, there should be a file in /proc listing the complete partition map with exact offsets and sizes, in case of Spica it's /proc/rfs/bmlinfo.
[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
Or you can just go through /proc/last_kmsg

[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
It is indeed the correct, and the partitions you've marked as ??? (for the mount points) aren't mounted in the android system, they contain the Samsung bootloaders which are used only to initialize the phone and then load the kernel, and then complete control is passed to the kernel

Also, might wanna remove the / in front of kernel and modem in the first post, as they are directly accessed from the block device's location

Flash error

Hi guys,

i'm trying to flash my atrix 2.3.6, i downloaded the files in this post (the ATT ones since i have an ATT phone), i replaced the files, downloaded the usb driver and then procceded to flash it with RSD lite 5.6 and it showed me this error on the status: "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 3/18 flash mbmloader "mbmloader.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected"

Also, in the device properties it shows me this:

ESN:

Flex Version: N/A

DRM Version: N/A

Can anybody help me please?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
It sounds like you tried to flash an international version previous to this.

What you need to do is make sure you've unzipped the fxz, then open the "

InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.xml" file with notepad, and delete the following lines:

<step operation="flash" partition="mbm" filename="allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin" MD5="2F5211B8011CBA58290D7B51B56F8DFB" />

<step operation="flash" partition="mbm" filename="mbm.bin" MD5="DA1A78B87D8FE6D8DA6DE7CA2C5B0A7E" />

Save and close, then try and reflash.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cal8:
still not working

Ok, i did that and it worked. But after the flash process it sends me to the recovery image (the one with the triangle where you do the fatory reset). After it went to bootloop, in the status bar it said "please power up manually this device" even when the c/p where on. So i turned it off, and then turned it on again to the fastboot screen. The status screen changed sayng the process was finished and the resul bar said "PASS". But nothing changed.

P.S: i have the american version of this cellphone and nothing works, i cant delete aplications and the cellphone reboots randomly and factory resets doesn't work with my device
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
It worked very well all functions are restored, later updaed to 2.3.6 using OTA over wifi.

I only have a question that what part will not be flashed after deleting those lines and what effect it may have on the phone?

Flashing sbf is a different thing. Sbf's are flashed through RSDLite by connecting your phone to a pc..

Custom ROM's(flashable zip) are flashed through the phone recovery itself

.. Flashing a zip is a better way of doing it..

Also, while flashing, before doing a wipe, don't forget to make a backup from recovery..

Yes.! You will lose your apps, if your contacts are synchronized with you google account, you can get those back after..but for apps , make backup with Titanium backup or Mybackup root etc. so that you can restore those back..

Its so hard having grown up in the 1970's -1980's to understand how younger generations appreciate nothing and expect perfection. It has to do with the internets. When I got my Atari 2600 in 1980, I was sooooo happy with it. There was no forum to chew the Developers asses. Not to mention, its just rude.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"

But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.
