I s offed with the ICS leaked firmware and want to downgrade to the gb radios. I have seen lots of posts saying different things and would like someone with experience doing this to tell me what you did and in what order
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
If your S-off and on Juopunut bear's modified Hboot, you can just download the exe. version of the GB ota found in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338916 . Just be aware that once you run it you will be completely stock again including locked bootloader. If you still want to preserve your locked status I would flash this hboot in this thread..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1618140

Now, you will still be locked but able to run fastboot commands without unlocking. Now, you have to flash Amon recovery found here..http://www.mediafire.com/?l9dgzvvsdku7g3c This is the recovery that works for GB firmware. If you upgrade back to leaked ICS then you will have to flash 3.15.

Prior to flashing Amon Ra recovery.. you may watch to do a factory reset in hte stock recovery to prevent any possible data connection issues. Once you did that and now have flashed Amon ra.. you can either flash a rooted rom to get root back or to go to developer menu in Amon ra and install SU there.

Remember if you now flash GB based roms you don't need any patches, but if you flash ICS roms you will need this patch here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508118

It will be the old firmware patch you want to download.

After all this you should be set !
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
???

Why is the 'old firmware patch' necessary when moving from GB to ICS; is something not getting properly overwritten when using a PHxxxxx.zip instead of a full RUU?
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I am talking about if he stays on Gingerbread firmware , but wants to run ICS roms. Then he would need to flash the old firmware patch so his SD card mounts properly.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Yes, I get that ...

Yes, I understand why people need a patch after running the PHxxxx.zip

I am asking why the PHxxxx.zip leaves that a necessary step. What is missing from the PHxxxx.zip that requires this to be done.

I suspect when VZW releases their RUU, such a step will not be necessary (i.e., it will properly update the firmware). So I am trying to get to the bottom of why the PHxxxx.zip does not properly update the firmware.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Very useful information mjh. Two points/questions:

1. If the OP doesn't need to use fastboot commands, they can simply flash a PH98IMG.zip of the AmonRA recovery. They can be found in the Amon Ra thread. That way they still get custom recovery without having to change away from the stock HBoot. (I did this earlier today.)

2. Does the factory reset need to be done in AmonRa or bootloader?

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

I'm not sure I follow what you're asking about here. mjh doesn't mention running the PHxxxx.zip at all. If you're S-OFF, you don't need to, as the boot image will already be installed properly in recovery.

If you're S-ON, then you have to run the PH98IMG.zip in bootloader after installing a ROM like CleanROM 4.4. That's for installing the boot image, and more or less the same PH98IMG.zip that is included in the upgrades.

The firmware fix is not a PH98IMG.zip and can be flashed in recovery, regardless of S-ON. If I understand correctly, the latest ICS firmware changes around some of the mount points (and probably other things), and thus the ICS ROMs assume those new mount points. Running the firmware patch just updates the system files to point to the right place given the old firmware. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) As it's not normally needed (ICS ROM assumes ICS firmware), there's no reason it would be included in the PH98IMG.zip that has the boot image. Plus it's probably a different command than what the boot image flashes -- I'm not sure the bootloader can do more complex control flows like that.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Which is the basis of my question ... that a RUU will be able to properly handle the issue and the PHxxxx.zip cannot.

Thanks for trying to answer. Perhaps your last sentence is my answer.
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
An RUU will put you on the proper firmware for the ROM you are installing. It doesn't have to deal with the issue of you possibly running a different firmware than what the ROM was built for because it will just install the right firmware.
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Almost There

Thanks ... we are getting SUPER close to the answer to my question. I guess the final nail would be .... 'why does the PHxxxxx.zip not do that'
[HTC Rezound] scubasteve85:
The PH98IMG.zip does fix that. You only need the patch if you're running an ICS Rom (anything based on 3.xx firmware) while still on GB firmware (2.xx and below)
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Is there a PH which will also push the ICS firmware at the same time?
[HTC Rezound] destro158:
Yes. The RUU (or whatever you want to call it) just leaked is a PH98IMG.zip that will do the full hboot, firmware, radio, and Rom upgrade and is installed in the bootloader.
[HTC One S] pauldavid77:
I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.

With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.

Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.

Is anyone else having issues like this?
[HTC One S] cabello80:
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.

Sent back in time to find Marty.
[HTC One S] cabello80:
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
[HTC One S] crashtestdummy:
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.

Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.

I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
[HTC One S] cabello80:
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
[HTC One S] pauldavid77:
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.

Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?

This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.

Is it still possible to do the toggle in ICS or is it disabled in these roms also?

From what I read, Embryo 2.2 ROM have this feature.
[HTC One S] DigitalMonk:
I unlocked my bootloader and installed CWM Touch 5.8.3.1 last night and made a nandroid backup. After booting out of CWM I get the attached notification. Booted into CWM again this afternoon to see if it was a one time thing and I got the same messages. I just tell it No and clear the notification and everything seems to run fine but is anyone else seeing this or it just expected behavior when running CWM? I encountered no errors at all when unlocking and flashing CWM last night.
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Congrads with your release.

Side info:

The V3 is a better and newer unlocked ICS bootloader 0.3.12 where V2 = 0.3.11 is , with that version you can go to fastboot with power off button and volume up button , that was not possible with V2.

ps:

If you want I patch the kernel for full root , pm it to me.
[Acer Iconia A500] ebonikeys:
downloading... woot!!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Will Do. And Thanks for your help! Between baby and stuff, never thought I would get it done!
[Acer Iconia A500] thevilish:
Dl'ing

Have to get some PC to hack bootloader ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
HA! Just remember... ICS Bootloader!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] shadow147:
Very goodddd!!! Tomorrow download and flash.. Thanks for your work!
[Acer Iconia A500] Tommmii:
yeah baby!

ty MD.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks!

Thanks to you all. But it's bedtime for the homeboy! Have to start on Alex V in a few days. Still have this new baby and Moderator work!
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
Glad to see your up there with the big boys where you belong!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
I am very glad that you are prepared and have the firmware-based ICS, use your firmware back to Alexandra III rev 1.1. The only thing I would like to achieve stable 3g connection, but then of course have to wait for the next course of Acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
will download this thing in the morning, and test it with ics bootloader v3. i don't think there will be much problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks. I am sure next "leak" will have permanent fix for 3g. WakeLock fixes it for now. But battery life suffers because of it. Keep plugged into charger at night :D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
I think will run fine on v3. Maybe if I get time I will NVFlash it today or tomorrow.
[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
Just remember an old saying "phone on Android is not possible to lose, he is always near the battery charger" :D
[Acer Iconia A500] imaulana:
OMG

oooooooh........my god.

it's the long waiting ROM, finally here. Alexandra IV.

will try to upgrade my Alexandra III. yippeyy.....

thank u moscow. :eek:

can't wait to get home.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
HA! Must remember this. Alexandra is a "she" and she is married to her charger :D:D

(waiting for a700 babies)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
HA! On your way home, I suggest to stop by the Liquor store, grab a bottle, then stop by a sport shop, grab a "jock strap". Reason is, you still have to update your Bootloader if you have not done so already.

I run Ver2 of the patched bootloader, but I hear ver3 is ok also. So you may want to NVFlash ver3 as it has the Fastboot enabled.

Big Note: With ver3, they have a modified CWM to use. The old "it's magic" is no longer required with the version3. At least to my knowledge. If I am wrong, somebody please correct me.
[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
Oo 4-core child, it is excellent! ;) And I think to wait 701 baby, but that's not entirely clear when it is born :)

knock, knock, got official ICS yet?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Who's there? No. Nothing yet :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] thevilish:
Will ever ICS come to A501?

They will not provide update in Americas, so why do they'll do it on old continent?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Considering they did a leaked rom , I would say chances are good eventually Acer will release ics for the 501.
[Acer Iconia A500] droiduzr2:
It's surprising that they have not released any patches or further updates.

I am guessing some carrier is having major problems.

@MD

Will it be possible to get the phone feature to work?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Nah, unfortunately the radio in the 501 is not fully featured enough. Also, it would look damn funny walking through the Metro at rush hour, with your tab pressed up to your ear! :D (not to mention the mic is on the opposite side! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] gfinockio:

[Acer Iconia A500] droiduzr2:

MD did you do this when you read his reply.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Everything's "tiny" in Canada :D:D

Seriously, the chances of getting a BT earpeice to pair correctly with Acer is improbable. Not impossible, but improbable. There are a couple devices that work...... I would think.
[Acer Iconia A500] droiduzr2:
Well played Sir:D

Do they have another tablet that allows the unit to work as a phone?

If so can you see if you can port the drivers assuming the hardware is the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Thanks :D:D:D

3g tablets do not work as phones. At least not the models available. And really nothing I know of, will have a full GSM capability.

I have my eye on the Asus Infinity. Am not sure yet how it behaves with 3g. Should be released hopefully in the next 1-2 months. But am sure, it will be a nice addition.

Don't worry, will still keep my 501. Will hand it down to my wife if she wants. She uses it as much as me anyhow. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] droiduzr2:
Do you mean Acer tablets?

My Samsung Tablet (7 inch, first tab p-1000) has the phone feature.

They have ICS running it on too.

Ok, well can you hurry it up and get ICS running on this thing already:D:D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Realistically. I can put a phone dailer app. But it will be IP. Similar to Skype.

And Dude, I wish Acer would just suck it up. Release the current kernel source for the 501, so our folks can get the 3g working like it's supposed to.

Won't bother you to say what has been going on behind the scenes concerning the 3g. But without source, it's hard to fix.

Clearly Acer can't get it going. Time to turn it over to those that can.
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Yeah they do have phone functionality but you have to remember it is basically an oversize samsung galaxy s.... I have 1 too...:D
[Acer Iconia A500] grimm18:

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Make sure you do good wipes. Sounds like you got maybe something left-over from a previous rom. Or are you restoring something from a Titanium backup maybe?

Haven't had any reports of any wifi issues. And I typically connect at home, work, and several corporations I visit. I don't run any special apps.
[Acer Iconia A500] chmp:
Hello Moscow Desire, Is there hope soon to solve the problem with 3G.

This seems to be a global problem with 3G on A501, because all ICS ROMs have problems with 3G. regards
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Sorry, but no hope till Acer dumps some source, or fixes their issue. Best guess it's obviously a power management issue in the kernel, and without 501 kernel source, not a lot than anybody can do.
[Acer Iconia A500] chmp:
It is clear that ACER also can not deal with this problem :( :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] ultramag69:
Yeah, they should pass it along to the guys who can fix their little problems.... Then they'll put the fix in their own kernels and say that it was their idea all along....:D:p

News update: Will have to run the stock kernel for now. Deodex in progress (80% done with zipalign and PNG Optimize). Then changes to systemUI, settings and framework, and then signing on certain apks. Hopefully, if wife and baby co-operate, I will open to Testing... MAYBE tonight or tomorrow. And that's a slim MAYBE (for tonight). But family comes first, always.

I know who the testers will be, you will be notified by PM when it's up. So please....DON'T send me PM's wanting to test. :D:D:D:D:D

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:

[Acer Iconia A500] ubutnux:
For some reasons root explorer cannot get root access. Anyone experienced same problem?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Did you run "zero-nulls" root app (link in the OP under Post Installation)? None of the testers had any issues (and lord knows I did it many many times this past week ;).

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] khangozzy:
Been on this for abt 4 hours, everything seem fine, feel more smooth than Alex IV :) Great work MD ;)

Only one small issue, I couldn't uninstall some apps such as Facebook Web, Top HD Games and Zinio. I tried uninstall by TB but no luck, only disable in Apps setting (or Freeze in TB) worked.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Did you run zero-nulls root as in the OP? Also, you have to use your file manager to set /system to RW. I used FileManager HD.

I just deleted several things a few minutes ago and deleted just fine.

I'll load TB....ugghhhhhh and see what's up with it. Personally I never use it.

EDIT: TB uninstall of facebook web worked great.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] khangozzy:
Run the ZeroNull root is the first thing I do after first boot when flash, then open Root Explorer to set Sys R/W, then using TB to restore apps and uninstall some games, it went fine, after several reboot its had problem when trying to uninstall FB web.

I just check the Sys R/W again in Root explorer, it set back to Sys R/O, set R/W again and TB uninstall work fine.

Maybe I have to check the sys R/W before doing anything related to system app/data

Tks so much :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Ok People, seems there is some confusion about /system R/W.

Do the following.

1. Set USB Debugging to ON

2. Download to your pc, Zero-null's root package. Do Not install Superuser again, I already have it installed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546593

3. Connect tab to PC

4. Double click runit-win.bat from where you unzipped the root kit.

5. After tab reboots and message given, disconnect.

6. Open Root Explorer or Filemanager HD. Set the /system to R/W

Be Happy.

In the future, I will get a hacked kernel so we don't have to do this procedure. But for now, it's easy, and it works.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problem.

I haven't had an issue with it changing back. Maybe it's TB? Might have "burped" when restoring something.

Ehhhh.... she's working now, so enjoy!

Great from, but still the issue of buying things on market place. Error in paying for an app, but free ones work.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, I've run into this so many times with the market it makes me ill sometimes. I really don't know why when they have something that works, they insist on changing it.

It's the Google Play Apk and not the rom itself. In HC days, I would just do a manual delete the hard way, then install a different version of the Market manually. But with the play store, not a lot of versions. Then of course, Google always wants to update what you have installed!

I'll look around and see if there's different versions.

EDIT: Found some different in gapps. Will experiment and see if I can get it into a flash update for you. Will be a few hours as am in the park.

You should probably wipe and re-install the rom again, as I do no know what After OTA installs.

You may, after using TB, have to set to R/W again through root explorer.
