Does anyone know if there's any work being done to get S-OFF for the HTC One S then?
[HTC One S] gligi:
recovery.img

in my zip file there is no recovery file... where to find the right one?

tnx
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
it will be under firmware.zip
[HTC One S] b8drf:
I posted the same question in the HOS Q&A section ... no replies as yet ...
[HTC One S] ovimunt:
Well... I've tried some voodoo stuff just now.

I've unzipped the OTA package, went in there and edited the updater-script taking out the bits where it checks the current system so that it just goes on and installs regardless. Then, I tried to flash it with ClockworkMod recovery and it worked! However, the radio, hboot and the stock recovery didn't get installed - i guess that's because the phone is S-ON or because ClockworkMod can't flash those bits for some other reason.
[HTC One S] chrisrudolf:
can't flash... error cant mount sdcard ... what now?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
So did the package install all the stock crap back on to your phone ?? if so, Going back to stock recovery and trying to search for the OTA might just work...
[HTC One S] esk02k:
Good to see you here Lee! Very excited about your rom, it will be the first (and probably last) rom to go on my phone. Ive been checking the dev section daily hoping for your name to pop up.
[HTC One S] LeeDroid:
The ota is to only be applied over a stock 1.53.401.2 ruu base device with a generic HTC CID... More for devs than anything guys... Working on my S build tonight

[HTC One S] torxx:
Good to see you here Lee, I guess my ROM will be not longer needed then :D
[HTC One S] encho:
Can't wait for Lee's rom but you've done some great job till now.
[HTC One S] torxx:
Thanks, let's see if Lee spends them in this ROM or not because he might be busy with the One X..
[HTC One S] LeeDroid:
Rom is 80% ready for initial release, just have a few more mods to patch In ;)

So i can´t install this OTA over a 1.53.75.3 Orange RUU? If it´s right... how i can install some OTA without unlock my HOS?

I tried to found some topic on this forum about this but i don´t see nothing

Sorry for my bad english dudes...
[HTC One S] rpachecoh:
Well, is there any way I can install it over a 1.53.401.2 from Orange? Someone told about editing info.txt, where is it? I really need it as I need to update hboot

Edit: What about the people who got the message that SDcard couldn't be mounted? Any news? I get the same error when going into stock recovery.
[HTC One S] McGiver93:
Can i flash this update into my branded vodafone stock rom? Because i have bootloader unlocked and this fw version 1.78.161.2 thanks in Advance.
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
Talk to some of the guys in the S-Off thread on One S General. Maybe you can help us achieve S-Off on all devices? :P It's kind of a highly wanted thing.
[HTC One S] McGiver93:
I just used the HTCDev guide for S-Off. But my question is "can i flash this OTA over my vodafone uk brand version or i must debrand my phone? P.S. there is people with vodafone brand having issues to do s-off?

EDIT: sorry guys i make a mistake :P confused unlocking bootloader with s-off. I'm S-ON too. :\

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Hello. :)

I'm facing the infamous problem of "not enough space" when downloading from the market, while I actually have plenty of space. The ultimate solution seems to be moving download cache to the SD card (symbolic link). The problem is that the download cache with ICS and Google Play isn't located in /cache/download anymore, and I have been unable to find where it is located both searching with Google and browsing the filesystem.

Any help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKnitty:
Look in the market for opda system tuner lite, it'll clean it right up
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Go to /data/app/ and delete the Titanium Backup ODEX. If this doesn't work, read the PM I'm about to send you (moda will complain it's illegal (it isn't for this purpose though)).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Hello. Thank you both for replying, but you both answered a different question than the question I asked. I have already tried to clean market cache, to no success, and I believe very strongly that the solution is moving download cache to the SD card. I found lots of people with Google having my very same problem and fixing it this way. The problem is that I am now using MIUI ICS with Google Play, and the download cache location is different. Does anyone know where the download cache is located with ICS / Google Play Store? :)

Just to be 100% sure I also tried okmijnlp solution, and as I was expecting it didn't fix the problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Ok, solved the problem myself. The folder I had to link to SD card is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache. This worked on a MIUI v4 ROM (after rebooting).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohitblr_19:
Could you please advice how you have changed this, as i am new Android user hence not much aware how do go about it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Hello.

I have bad news for you: after writing my last post here I realised that the problem wasn't actually solved (it only worked fine for a few hours), so linking that folder to the SD card is not a solution to the problem I was experiencing. However you are likely to need to link some folder to another one on your phone at some time, so I am explaining you these steps anyway.

First, you need to be on a rooted ROM. If you aren't, then have a look on the forum about your device here on xda and good luck for the rooting process. :p

Afterwards, you need the "Terminal emulator" application. If you don't have it, please download it from the market. Then run it and enter the following command:

su

This will give root rights to the terminal emulator app.

Now you can run the following commands.This will create the new folder on your SD card:

mkdir /sdcard/downloads

This should move all the contents of the "cache" directory into the new directory which you have just created:

mv /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/* /sdcard/downloads/

This should delete the now empty cache folder:

rm /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache

This will finally created a symbolic link which has the same name of the old cache folder but points to the new folder on your SD card:

ln -fs /sdcard/download /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache

I am not a Linux expert and I haven't tested these commands on my phone right now, so I'm not 100% sure that I haven't done any mistakes.;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohitblr_19:
thanks for your reply

the solution didnt work for me as i dont have same .com folder. i tried searching on google and below steps helped in resolving the cache issue

1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.

2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).

3. Type ‘cd /’

4. Type ‘umount /cache’

5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)

6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)

7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6

8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’

9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which should have bigger partition size)

Now i am able to download 30MB application on my phone from market. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartu:
Yes, it works for me using the root explorer under CM10.0. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taynor:
Hi!

I'm having the same trouble with not enough space, and when i run these command, it says operation not permitted. What to do? :/ It says thatsome sd card doesn't allow links?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Have you typed "su"? What happened then?

In any case, let me repeat that the procedure above eventually did NOT solve the download cache problem, if this is what you are looking for. The only solution for me was switching to a different ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilderwind:
It's not need to use the console (Terminal Emulator). Just do the following:

1. Install Root Browser Lite (grand rood permissions if neccessary)

2. Delete the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/

cache

folder

3. Create the /sdcard/cache folder

4. Go to sdcard, select the new created cache folder by long press and choose 'Create shortcut' from list, you will see 2 buttons, 'Create' and 'Cancel'

5. Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/ and tap 'Create' button below

6. Enjoy!

You can use any other root file manager, of course.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsupersquid:
The download cache was also at /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ on the 4.2.1 jellybean ROM I'm running right now as well.

Thanks for posting the info!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda helios:
Thank you for your extremely clear explanation!

Nevertheless, despite having resolved the problem of lack of space for downloading apps from the store, with the help of your expertise, now everytime i reboot the device it shows me the message "android.process.media has stopped..."

I know it is related with the shortcut for the cache downloads.

Do you know how can I fix it?

Thank you.

[Windows Phone 7 General] HOFFERN342:
Hi all,

I was in contact today with both Amazon and Microsoft regarding an issue that neither of them had an answer to.. and they were both blaming each other on who had done a mistake, but none of them had an answer for me.

You see, Kindle (which was released on Windows Phone for something that seems like ages ago now), is not available in the Windows Phone marketplace in Scandinavia (and possibly some other markets such as for example Japan and Russia).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...ARMDJO72UN&newContentNum=84&ref_=cm_cd_pg_pg4

The Kindle app is available here in Norway in for example Android market (Google Play), in iOS (Appstore) and Mac (Appstore)... but not in the Windows Phone 7.5 marketplace. I own a Lumia 800, and I have been wanting to use this app for ages now.. does anyone know why, or can contact the right sources about this issue?

I am posting it here on XDA mostly because it seems no one, not even the company that made the app, and the one supposed to post it, has an answer for me. Therefore you could look at this post at some way of raising awareness, and hopefully someone will discover it and maybe help discover what has gone wrong in the process of publishing this app in the Windows Phone marketplace in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden at least..) and a few other other countries.

Kind Regards

One who wants to be able to fully make the switch from my old Android phone to my now 3 month old Windows Phone.

PS. This is currently the only app I am missing to make my switch complete. Being able to read my books on the Windows Phone will be the last thing I need, currently I have to bring both phones with me at all times to read.. and that sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sitizenx:
I can confirm it is available and works in the US.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HOFFERN342:
Yes, I know it is available in the US, and I think it is also available for the UK for example.

The thing that bothers me is of course that the Kindle app is available in the Appstore and on the Google Play market here in Norway, but not in the Windows Phone market. What makes WP so different? I cannot understand why it should not have been released by now.. and the fact that neither Microsoft nor Amazon had an answer for me and was just blaming each other, just tells me that they don't know either and should try to take it higher in the system.

As a customer I am having a hard time being able to get higher in the system, and the customer service should be able to do it for me..

[Windows Phone 7 General] aptcore:
Same here, I live in Colombia and there's no access to either kindle nor amazon app, but they are available for other platforms. I do have access to imdb, though.

Sent from my LG-E900 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] cspiliakos:
It's not available in Greece either. However, I did find the Amazon Mobile app available today. Kindle is available in both Google Play and Appstore for download, which is needless to say, weird. The solution is quite simple, Amazon needs to resubmit the application for worldwide status, every single time Microsoft adds new countries to the marketplace, otherwise it's just there for the original countries in Worldwide status.

There's a WP Dev. email about worldwide apps needing resubmission after each addition of countries in the marketplace that goes way back to the origianl expansion of the marketplace. In my opinion, Microsoft should fix this "bug" of their's and quite honestly, get rid of that.

A quick solution would be to add a UK/US address to your account and install the app, and then change the account again back to your home country. I don't know what on earth will happen with any paid apps and updates as I've yet to try it, but if you don't have any paid applications, or you're not interested in any, a quick change will solve your issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alejandrohh:
Since this is my first android phone I'm not sure which earbuds or headphones to pick up that I can use with inline controls for it? Thanks for the help
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
of the few headphones ive tried, they were all designed for iphones, so the mic would work, but none of the other controls.

only way is to test it and return it, or read reviews.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jason.hamilton:
There have been a few other threads about bluetooth headsets and voice control. I think there is a missing app on this phone that would handle the incoming bluetooth controls. Currently when i push mine, nothing happens. Found a possible fix for this today. When i get home, i will try it out and post confirmation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] roryjoe:
I have a pair of Beats Tour with ControlTalk built inline (not my normal choice of earphones... but bought them for very cheap off a friend who didn't want them!).

It seems they are primarily designed for the iPhone. There is a rocker switch (possibly for volume on the iPhone?) and also a button in the middle. There's also a microphone on the inline switches.

The microphone works fine, as does the one middle button. There is no response from the rocker (I have tried headphone keymapping apps available on the Market, to no joy). It's not such a big deal though as my primary music player is PlayerPro, which you can asign multiple clicks or click and hold etc. to do different functions. For example, one click pauses, another single click unpauses, double click skips track, triple click skips one back, press and hold to cycle through volume etc. - it's not ideal, and I'd love to have that rocker switch working, but I think it's the best it can do.

The single button works fine for accepting and ending calls, too.

I assume this setup would be the same for 3-button iPhone headset, and any of them would work in a similar way to the Beats Tour.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ZombieLinux:
Try the Klipsch S4a's. I had the S4i's for my iPhone that I just replaced today (battery was unbearable after 3 years of use). The difference between the two is the microchip in the inline controller. Otherwise they have the same driver (and same good sound). I'm just upset I'll have to break a new set in :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
I haven't tried the Klipsch S4a's myself, but I have a friend who swears by them. I've just never wanted to spend the $$ because I beat up my headphones commuting on the train everyday, plus I need something loud and tinny so I can hear podcasts over the train noise (and I wont do over-the-ears). ironically, crappy phones work fro me so I just use a pair of $6 HTC phones from amazon that were marketed for the vivid and thunderbolt (and probably every other HTC phone popular at the time prior to those two...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
I have create a script file that will flash a recovery from the terminal in the Galaxy Nexus.

I got the command from xda but I could not remember it when I wanted to flash a recovery,

so I wrote a script to do it.

AS WITH ANY FLASHING OR MODDING OF "YOUR" PHONE, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU MAY CAUSE!

I have tested this on my:

Unlocked Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 takju (flashed from yakju)

Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4

Thanks to -viperboy- for help.

Created by Smurph82 2012_0512 (c) v1.0
flashr [-h] [-r] [-m] [-s s] -- Flash a recovery
to the Galaxy Nexus.

where:
-h show this help text
-r will reboot after flashing is complete.
-m image is in the root of the sdcard
-s source of the recovery image (/sdcard/recovery.img).

To use the script:

Download and Flash the script file from your current recovery

Or download the zip file and move the flashr file in the /system/bin folder to /system/bin with RootExplorer

or other root level file manager.

If you manually add the file you must

chmod 0755 /system/bin/flashr

or change the permissions from RootExplorer

Then open Terminal and type

su

first, yes you have to be rooted to do this!

Next type

flashr

or

flashr -h

to get the help

If you want to flash a recovery you must have the recovery.img

somewhere on your device that you can remember. Like the root of the sdcard.

To flash a recovery type

flashr -s /sdcard/recovery.img

or if the recovery is in the root of the sdcard type

flashr -ms recovery.img

If you want to reboot after the flashing is complete next use

flashr -mrs recovery.img

In the code examples above I used recovery.img as an example.

This should be "what ever you named the recovery".img it does not have to be recovery.

i know you might think that im trolling, but im really not. what id like to know is what makes that better than just flashing the recovery, via the terminal, the old-fashioned way..

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter, if you want to go to the recovery)

providing ithe file is on the main fs in the sd storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
flash_image does not work with ics, that I have found. So I wrote my own. If there is a new flash_image that works with the galaxy nexus then I could not find it. Maybe it is because I'm still using the stock rom and kernel. I took the flash_image out of cm9 but it didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E:V:A:
Would you be willing to share the sources for this? It would be interesting to know how this works, since it may be useful also for other purposes than flashing recovery images. Or not?

It is just as easily done in a terminal by the following (assuming you downloaded the recovery you want to /sdcard and named it recovery.img):

Yes I know that but who wants to type all of that out. I just made it shorter more

or else. If you want to type the whole command then by all means have at it. I just

think that "flashr -mrs twrp.img" is a whole lot easier. Just my thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rattking:
Hi

Nice enough script.

Although I feel I should warn people that it looks like this script will write anything you tell it. making no effort to verify that the file is a valid or correct for your phone. so be careful not to specify the wrong file.

fastboot flash recovery $file is much safer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smurph82:
That is true if you are connected to a computer but this script is run on the phone from the terminal. If someone knows a way to check a file from the terminal running on the phone please tell me and I will update the script. I understand that there is currently no verification of the file that is being written so please make sure that you are writing the right file.
