Unfortunately in my haste I removed a few bloat apps BEFORE a nandroid backup - the VF OTA update to 1.78 fails based on these missing apps - I have been unable to locate the missing apps (with the correct checksum)

I have hunted everywhere but can't find a VF UK RUU so I am left with the hope that some kind xda member has a clean VF UK nandroid backup that they could upload - this would enable me (and a few others I know on this thread) to go down the standard VF UK OTA route which is definately available.

Cheers!

I even have VF OTA zip file saved (OTA_Ville_U_Vodafone_UK_1.78.161.2-1.53.161.3_release_258436nm53vcqtcv7k3bh9.zip)

But I can't use it as these cannot be flashed - if only we could unpack and modify the check script but I don't think that is an option ...

Sigh ... why is this so painful ;-)
[HTC One S] zeroprobe:
upgraded radio thanks.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Agreed !! Way too much hassle for a damn radio upgrade lol

Im someone has a Vodafone Nandroid, Please share :) Or let us know what apps are needed to be put back in to the ROM
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
You are certainly right, if you have all these issues. Would be way more painless with S-Off, but this is at least a workaround for those, who are suckers for a new Radio :D

Send from my One S
[HTC One S] b8drf:
To let you know, neither of these dropbox links work any longer - could you re-post your stock 1.78 nandroid please ?

Cheers!

Quick question to the experienced Dev's on this thread - what do you think are the chances of achieving S-OFF for the One-S ?

I remember this took a little while for the HTC Desire platform and was wondering if you felt it was just a matter of time before someone figured a way or have HTC locked us out permanently ?

I enjoy the freedom of loading Custom ROMs with the unlocked bootloader etc, but to be stuck on the original shipped baseband/radio feels like we are wearing handcuffs ;-(

Thoughts appreciated...
[HTC One S] limestar:
I am lucky enough to have s-off so just flashed official and then did ota and now back on custom ROM. Thankfully the new radio fixes my stupid connection problems I had on 3g.
[HTC One S] xkonni:
why didnt you just flash the radio.img if you have s-off?
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:

[HTC One S] xkonni:
Do not update radio when using aosp/aokp/miui/cm!

I have a question.

This is my following phone information

Android Version 4.03

Htc Sense Version 4.0

Software number 1.53.531.16710RD

Htc SDK API LEVEL 4.11

HTC Extension 4_03.1.ga.4

Can I do this upgrade....? Im on Tmobile US My Bootloader is *Tampered Unlocked S-On

Reason I need to do this is because Im having Wifi/GSM issues for some reason while im on wifi I get data/signal/ drop. I cant send txt, browse pages, call. I see the 73 issues fix this.. I just need to be sure that this is it...

thanks guys!

any information will help.
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
As far as I know the Tmobile US version hasn't received an OTA just yet.... So unfortunately we have to wait on Tmobile to push it out. Hopefully they will get with the program soon. As soon as we get it I'll be updating my radio with this guide.
[HTC One S] did91505:
Ouch, Hopefully soon... sucks... for some reason, when I turn on WiFi it cuts my gsm signal off "X" but I cant call/browse/text/or receive text.. basically it cuts out my connection I gotta keep Airplaning it on/off---- until it decides to cooperate.. lol.

thanks for the update, I was doing a lot of reading.. correct me if Im wrong, is there a way to revert "Tampered-Unlocked" so I can return it.

Im sure they could get me one thats already been updated.

Many thanks!
[HTC One S] Smokem_I:
Yeah I've had several problems with wifi and data... It's a known issue and Tmobile confirms data issues. We will have to wait on them to fix that as well...

As far as the tampered goes once you tamper with it theres no going back lol. Someone might figure it out eventually. The bootloader can also be relocked but you will not be able to get say locked like comes stock. Again someone might figure out how to fix that as well but it doesn't matter cause a real Superuser will always root ;)

Edit: If you need to return it just unroot and relock your bootloader. Your will get a warranty from HTC for a relocked bootloader. I'm not sure what it covers and the various changes because it's relocked....
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
If you really are one of the lucky one`s, can you then just pull your complete Radio firmware with:

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/radio_firmware.img

and upload it here?

Maybe that can help progressing towards S-Off...
[HTC One S] Cayniarb:
You can dd radio images to the device from the sdcard in recovery if you fastboot boot the recovery session.

NOTE: do NOT start dd'ing things if you do not know *exactly* what you are doing.

Hopefully the OP can rewrite this with directions for that - but I can confirm that it works and have had others test this as well.

Edit: also, the new radio seems to be an improvement for the T-Mobile USA variant as well (working fine on mine and a few other testers, improved signal for some).
[HTC One S] stumpyz9:
you dont even have to unroot or anything. i returned mine because of a touch screen issue and this and all i did was flash a stock-ish rom and they accepted it. as long as its hardware related i dont think they care
[HTC One S] Reevine:
You are correct. They don't really care. They dont say unlocking your bootloader will void the warranty. They are just giving a warning saying the warranty may not be applicable if it's damaged. Like by you. Say for instance you decide to overclock you CPU to 3 Ghz and burn out your core. Then they might not replace it lol. :p

A Mirror of stock 1.53 nandroid please ?

I found my backup of the 1.53

[HTC One S] Cayniarb:
** this assumes that you have adb and fastboot in your PATH and that you know how to use them.

** this also assumes that you have some recovery.img file (named as such) saved in whatever directory you are running terminal commands from.

** this also assumes you are running linux. If all of the above conditions are met, the process should also be the same on Windows and OS X, but I have not tested that and cannot confirm that.

** this assumes that if you do not fully comprehend all of the above, that you will stop reading now. I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device by following these instructions.

Step 1: Find and download the following images from the 1.78.41.2 RUU: radio.img, wcnss.img, and adsp.img. Save them on your device's storage partition (/sdcard) named as listed here (** this assumes that if you use other names you also know how to adjust future commands).

Step 2: Boot your device into fastboot mode. Your choice of 'adb reboot bootloader' or manually powering down, booting to hboot, and selecting fastboot. (Future commands assume your device is plugged in to the computer at this point)

Step 3: On the computer, run: fastboot boot recovery.img

Step 4: Wait for your device to boot in to what looks like a normal recovery session. While it looks this way, it is not normal. In this recovery, you have the ability to do pretty much everything you can on an s-OFF device (flashing boot or other partitions, etc).

Step 5: This will depend on your recovery. Whatever the process is, make sure that your /sdcard partition is mounted (not mounting USB, but making the /sdcard partition readable to things like adb).

Step 6: On the computer, run:

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=/sdcard/wcnss.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19

dd if=/sdcard/adsp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Step 7: In the same recovery session, on the device, flash whatever 1.78-based ROM you like (Note: I have not seen ill effects using this on a 1.53-based ROM, but YMMV).

Step 8: Reboot. Enjoy.
[HTC One S] dc211:
Thanks! Worked like a charm. I now have the latest radio on my TMOUS phone.
[HTC One S] c19932:
Thanks Cayniarb. I got it to work. 1 question...by following your instructions, only the new radio in flashed right? no other new stuffs from the 1.78 firmware is flashed? I would like to completely update to the 1.78 firmware
[HTC One S] Tecardo:
could he do this with his hboot? so we could try flashing this, if possible.

First thing i need to do is flashing a rom without... i have much errors in terms of sdcard.
[HTC One S] nintendolinky:
I have used the above instructions to flash the newest radio on my EU rom, but can it also be used to update the hboot. Is the hboot also on mmcblk0p18, like many other HTC phones.

Server is down again for the Ruu's. But i have a question someone posted up the update file to download. Can is use the recovery.img and the other .img files off it or do i have to download the full rom and not just the update to use the files.

I have never used fastboot or adb before but want to give it a go cause having the wi-fi signal drop in and out is starting to bug me alot and the reception is brutal

Can someone just eleberate for me how to enter the commands to flash the .img files. I have them saved under the download folder on the /sdcard of my phone. So how do i enter the line to make sure it works correctly??

Also when the phone is connected to pc, and when the guide says boot into fastboot mode. It should be fastboot usb sincethe phone is connected by usb(just double checking)

CWM will be fine but you may have to do a fresh install of a rom, my backups didn't work for some reason
[HTC One S] snwman:
Regarding entering the highlighted part in the qouate above. Do i enter adb shell and then press enter. I get this ~# and then do i enter the rest word for word. Because it keeps sayin that it cant find the files. Even though they are on the sdcard. The sccard says it is mounted. Im using Touch clockwork mod recovery.

Can someone please put a small tutorial for the One's with S-OFF. It would be much apreciated as I'm trying to understand what to do and what not to do in order to change the radio succesfully.
[HTC One S] Stroid01:
type ADB Shell when you get the ~# type su it will return a # sign now you can execute your commands and they will work
[HTC One S] stumpyz9:
If you have s-off I'm pretty sure you can just extract the right files and flash them via fastboot.
[HTC One S] snwman:
Dead on will try that tomorro
[HTC One S] nebuneli:
I managed to extract radio.img and tried to flash it via fastboot but I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" error message. what now ?
[HTC One S] stumpyz9:
Are you sure you have s-off? Its not just unlocking the bootloader. You'll need to boot to fast boot and then go to recovery and flash the 3 files listed a few posts back via adb
[HTC One S] snwman:
Thats not working either just keep getting /sbin/sh: ab: not found

but then i entered one of the command just to see if i was entering it wrong last time and was writing the one for the radio.img and presses enter and nothing happened didn't get an error or anything but the ~# command didnt come up either and i cant enter anything on cmd. Been a good 5minutes and nothing
[HTC One S] snwman:
Still can't get it to work anybody got any information on it...
[HTC One S] nebuneli:
Yoohooo !!! I upgraded the radio :D I did it the classic way so to speak (I have S-OFF) by relocking the bootloader and installing the RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2 ...

So now I have to get back to work (unlock bootloader, put custom recovery, root, restore the nandroid) :( Am I missing something or thats all ? :confused:
[HTC One S] dc211:
Make sure all your files are in the right place.

- radio.img, wcnss.img, and adsp.img: needs to be at /sdcard.

- recovery.img (or whatever yours called): needs to be on computer in the same folder where adb.exe is located.

Now do set 2 and 3.

If your using clockwork recovery you need to select "mounts and storage" then "mount sdcard"

Now do step 6 with an enter after each line.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
if you have s-off you can just flash radio.img's without any issues, You still need unlocked bootloader to allow fastboot commands..

S-OFF and Unlocked Bootloader ARE NOT the same

@OP

i had to laugh a little when reading this. Sly little trick :D

Takes some gray matter to have that idea. I thought to myself yesterday, when i began working on my device. "hey, what about upgrading to latest base first, before flashing any custom stuff?"

What i didn't think of was the chance to lock things away for good with a new base (as had already happened with another device for me), but luckily, that didn't happen...

So, i really appreciate this Post of yours. You got a massive thanks counter. Higher than your post counter. I deduce from that, that you hardly ever post any OT stuff like i do just now. I just wanted to leave some sign of respect for your work. I really do appreciate people that stand here in the middle amongst us and help everyone out. Thank you, Sir!

Can anyone tell me why when I get to "Fastboot boot recovery.img" it doesn't boot into recovery, but rather, right into the ROM as if I just restarted it? I did it over and over, it never booted into this special recovery session you guys speak of? =/
[HTC One S] dc211:
Is your recovery.img in the same folder on your PC as fastboot? Which recovery are you using?

[HTC One S] snwman:
I was having the same problem. Easiest thing to do is make a nanodroid backup using clockworkmod. Then have your device hooked up to your pc so you can see your sd card. Then find the backup you made with clockworkmod and copy the recovery.img to the folder where adb is located on your pc. So could be something like this c:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ now bearing in mind that is where adb is loacated on my labtop. So could be different for you. But anyway paste the copy of the recovery.img in that folder and it should work from there..
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Sorry to ask this... But what does this exactly do? I am not a complete n00b (well perhaps with ICS directory structure) but I have used adb, done some theming, modified apks, changed bootanis, etc. on CM7 on my last device, but for some reason I am confused by this post.

[HTC One S] solace88:
Hi, to clarify Cayniarb's directions - essentially flashing any custom recovery will allow you to adb/dd updated Radios to the device for that session?

Is this method applicable to other S-ON devices eg HTC Incredible S etc?
[HTC One S] cualla84:
hello, a question, do not know anything about a new update. In HTCmania some people have received the OTA Update 2.21.401.10
[HTC One S] frdd:
No this means that if you fastboot boot a recovery you can do this, and also CWM which usually has trouble flashing boot.img is able do do this.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.zip

The command above will use fastboot to flash the file named recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.zip to the recovery partition permanently.

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.zip

The command above will use fastboot to boot from the file named recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.zip, like booting from a Live-CD. This will allow CWM and other recoveries to circumvent protections that it cant when booted from its own recovery partition.
[HTC One S] solace88:
Thanks - much clearer. What about applicability to other S-On HTC devices? Theoretically yes but not practically tested I suppose?
[HTC One S] dc211:
That's correct as far as I know. HTC changed what S-on and S-off allows you to do in the One series. You could try it on something like the Amaze and if it works (don't think it will) great but if not you won't break anything you will just get a permission denied.
