hi people,

new to the forum, never realised this site existed, thankfully im now a member of this great information community ;)

i am new to the whole rooting phones and software blah blah,

i currently have a htc incredible s with optus (australian software) on it,

now i am wanting to remove all the bloatware and just put a standard htc software on the phone that will allow me to upgrade to ics when it comes out in june for my model phone?

now i am not interested in customizing the rom or flashing it with any other aftermarket software, i just want to the original on there,

please note i am noob, and i have tried some of the methods already suggested, but still not having any luck,

so can some1 please shed me some light and explain to me how to do this in a noob manner please?

any info is appreciated

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
What methods have you tried?

HTC boot loader unlocked?

Lynts guide?

Novers tool ?
[HTC Incredible S] adthree:
i have tried a program called revolutinary or something, but bare with me as i am very noob,

if you have any other easy methods, id highly appreciate it :)
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
Hi dont worry i started off as a noob to so dont worry!

I am also with optus! YAY!

I need to know your hboot version and if you are s - off!

Here are some noob steps!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Go to Menu (The third button from the left on the buttons at the button). Then click Settings. Then goto Applications. Then uncheck the box called 'Fastboot'

2. Turn off your phone (If you don't know how to, unlock the screen and hold the power button until a menu pops up, then press power off/shut down!

3. When phone is completely shut down, hold the volume down button and the power button, (Hold it for a few seconds). A screen should pop up.

4. Note down all the information and private message me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This will show me what method you need to use. So Private Message me A.S.A.P!
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Every Australian with an Inc S nearly is Optus lol

OPTUS IS HOPELESSSS COMING FROM TELSTRA

Sorry just wanted to vent my frustration

Anyway if you root, you will not be able to install the OTA. Whichever method you use. Apart from temp root, but it will be lost after reboot.

If you want to root, whichever way you do it (I recommend Revolutionary), you will be able to install an ICS custom rom, assuming one will be made.

Just a warning if you wanted to root now and install the update later on

That is not possible :/
[HTC Incredible S] Epic.:
yeh i gotta admit optus suks compared to telstra in connection , speed and coverage
[HTC Incredible S] lippylion:
Just like you I was new to this also. I used Revolutionary which seemed fine for me. The one piece of advice I could give you is follow the instructions to the letter, I jumped steps, root failed.

Tried again this time more slowly and hey presto it worked and my phone is now rooted and S-Off.

As for roms just search these forums under your phone and read em, do the research first cos that will really help you later on. This made my phone loads better and got rid of the orange bloatware that I really hated, hence looking via google on these forums for options.

Cant stress this enough rooting is the way forward

Have fun
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
True, but do not attempt it unless you know exactly what you are doing and the risks it involves.

The bloatware on optus is ridiculous, NONE of the things I ever used. Just sitting there looking stupid in my app drawer, wasting valuable space and ram :(

That said, I would rather have an unrooted stock phone than a bricked one lol :D
[HTC Incredible S] adthree:
so no 1 can help? wow

btw i have hboot 2.00.000

seems to not root

helllllllllllllllllllllllp?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Revolutinary will not work with HBOOT 2.00.0000. You need to do this method/procedure first before you can use Revolutionary.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

The other option is to unlock the bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and then flash ClockworkMod recovery and then finally you can flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the Optus ROM. Then you could use Titianium backup to cleanup the bloatware.
[HTC Incredible S] adthree:
u might have to explain it a little better for me pls, as this is my first time doing this, like i said in the op + the download is a dead link my friend
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
can this process be reversed? , because if I have to take my phone back for warranty they will be like you unlocked bootloader flashed **** blah blah blah
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK I hate to be so blunt, but it sounds like you need to do a lot more reading and studying about your options and how to perform the procedure before you continue.

The days of simple one-click rooting for noobs on an IncS are no more my friend.

You need to understand how to use the Android SDK tools such as adb.exe and fastboot.exe in order to root your system these days, so I suggest you begin by reading the sticky posts in this forum and then find out how to use adb and fastboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
So as title says my wifes battery died then once plugged up and left to charge phone wouldn't go past boot animation. she was running beastmod 5.0 and had been for Weeks without issue. It would boot as normal but as soon as the animation completed it went to a black screen, screen was lit up just black with darker black blotches. Has this been encountered b4? Any known cause?

Luckily I was able to get into recovery and restore a nandroid and it seems to be ok now, but I'd like to know wth happened .

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
Maybe the battery didn't charge. But the phone booted and did not turn on touch screen or any type of resource that controls touch input. This has happened to me, I ran out of battery, 0%, and then I plug it up, it turns on but it doesn't not turn on any touch input device. So, I had to wait until it had 5% of battery to boot it up. This is the only issue I've had close to that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
Once it died it sat on the charger for about 4 hours and one I restored a nandroid it was at 78% charge. After the boot animation it was just a back lit blotchy black screen, no wallpaper, notification bar, icons or any remote sign if life
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] razormight:
So, is this fixed or you still having issues? If it is not fixed, pull battery, unplug, let it sit for 2 mins and (clean contacts if needed on batt and phone) and put batt back in, plug it. Let it charge for good 4 - 5 hours (don't power on). Unplug it and power it up. see if that fixes it.

I never root or use custom rom but still using original rom on my Note

may i know how was the performance of your current rom ??

currently using the official ICS Rom from software update, the battery is just gone within few hours even the phone is under standby mode, the camera is still the same but not the ICS super fast click - saved - click - saved camera and still can feel the laggy of the OS.. Can anyone please let me know your experience with the ROM you're using ? i need to choose wisely and get the nice rom to experience but to testing one by one instead because it's sound risky...

ROM Name:

ROM Link:

Version: ICS

Performance: Laggy | Standard | Super Fast

Why dont you read through the different rom threads instead. And from there you can build an opinion on what to flash etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spencerlim:
because there're more than few thousand thread from the beginning until today... with such feedback i guess will benefit a lot of other people as well =P

[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
I wanted to change the colours of LED Notifications but when i used this app, the LED kept on blinking Green light and nothing more! I did EveryThing to make it stop... but I couldn't! Then I uninstalled the app! And STILL the LED was blinking... I kept the phone in charging so that the Solid Orange light comes and the Green light goes away. But after charging, when I switched the screen on, again Green light started blinking. At last, I had to restart the phone and then it was fine. I strongly recommend NOT TO USE This app again.

UPDATE: Do not think that I'm blaming the app! it works fine on my old phone (xperia mini). I just want to say that HTC One V does not support Light Flow Light..!
[HTC One V] shubhamchamaria:
Maybe a problem with ics not being supported....
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
MAYBE...
[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
I installed this app today and then quickly uninstalled it because yhis app just didn't work. so anyone has alternative ways to change notifications light? thank God I tried the free version first..
[HTC One V] andrewpmoore:
The app will only work on htc devices if they are rooted due to permissions set on htc phones.

If the led keeps flashing green after uninstall a reboot should fix it. I am the author by the way. It's such a shame htc changed the permissions on the files on every gingerbread and up device. They also only have green and amber leds in the hardware.
[HTC One V] liebergott:
Android 4.2.2. / Light Flow 3.6.3

Hi, I tried Light Flow 3.6.3 on Android 4.2.2. (CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG).

It hangs on the first start - scanning installed applications... Tried to reboot, same problem again.

Tried to reinstall the app - same problem.

Seems like it doesn't support Android 4.2.2 (my handy: HTC Sensation - rooted)

Or is this a bug?

Best regards,

Ronny
[HTC One V] andrewpmoore:
I've pm'd you about this. I know there's a bug in some current kernels that means the /sys/devices directory listing never returns.

I don't know if this is normal but the cell standby odds the mist thing that shows battery usage so is this normal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naguib.elsoussy:
Anyone will help in this ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay Ssj:
Not quite sure but i think thats happening because you might have left that "Hey galaxy" command on because of which the microphone is always working and therefore the battery gets consumed.

And if thats not the case then idk whats wrong :o :)

Well in my HOX after 4hours of standby i get only 2% loss or less. Tegra 3 5th companion core helps saving it.

has anyone checked if one of the system's features is always on and that is why battery is getting low?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Claytop:
Yep having similar problem too, anyone have an idea?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikeabuchi:
4 hours 2% or less on the HOX, It maybe that yours is faulty. mines doesnt seem to change whatsoever from when I go to bed until the time I wake up over 8 hours or more ,

back to the SGS3 its definitely software related. just wait for an update from samsung :-)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skunk Ape1:
I know the epic had a similar issue. Check the time without signal and see if that shows a high percentage. If so, try cycling the airplane mode on and off and see if that helps. It was a work a round for the epic.

_______________

Just Flash It !!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam_r:
i would say this cell standby drainage issue is down to either one of these being on:

S beam

Smart Stay

or you have left the voice command on.. the "hey galaxy" rubbish.

i would say the latter two would kill your battery fairly quickly as you are always having the FF camera on / the mic alwasy on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naguib.elsoussy:
Normally what's the average off the battery if I'm using the device normally for calls and having wifi link all the time?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allenk524:
cell standby is the battery used by the radio mine is @ 38% top of my list two.

54% battery left, thats 17h 40m 20s lol on battery.there is nothink to worrie about mate!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naguib.elsoussy:
Maybe cause I switched from iphone I used to have my mobile for two days and a half when I lower my screen brightness

But here it stays max for one and half day
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocombneeded:
The Cell Standby is an idle process that must run: your CPU is always working, it can't ever turn off or it wouldn't recognise wake-ups, emails etc, so when it's not actually actively doing anything it has to run a low-priority process to keep it doing something.

The only way it can ever do literally nothing is when it's turned off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndreiLux:
The point is that it's using too much power, or at least it's being reported of using too much power. And nobody has been capable of showing details until now and I don't have my phone yet. It should not use more power than the S2 since they have almost identical broadband chips.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
My standby is high as well but i get really good battery time though. Still only a couple of recharhes and a fair bit of use as i have had to hard reset as well.

sent with SGS3

[HTC One X] mavrick1591:
Noticed something strange for the first time , screen is laggy and not responsive while charging the phone , I think it maybe is the kernel as its the first time to notice this , It happened after flashing franco-r6 kernel and iam using insert coin 6.3.1 Rom

Is this normal ?
[HTC One X] TommUK:
You flashed a ROM, You're not stock therefore you need to consult the dev of that Rom about the issue.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
To be fair, I had this issue on stock.. so it probably isn't a problem with the ROM
[HTC One X] mavrick1591:
Is it still present ? What did u do about it ?
[HTC One X] mimik13:
Yep I get this issue at times as well. Especially when I've left it to charge for a while and try to perform a pattern unlock. Happens about twice a week or so. Screen returns to normal after 10 seconds or so. Weird.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
+1 this happens on stock roms all the time. it's intermittent, and often can be temporarily fixed by switching the screen off then on again.
[HTC One X] culac:
I'm about to send my phone in for repair because of this problem. I actually have a dead patch on the screen which is intermittent. If I go to Developer Options > Pointer Location, and then trace my finger around the screen, I can see the patch where it's not picking up the input. Also sometimes the phone behaves erratically and can become completely unresponsive and flicks back and forth between home screens. Turning the screen off and then on again fixes it temporarily.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruXav:
Hello all,

Yesterday I wanted to try the Kingdroid V2.1 + GS3 addon. After installing, everything OK but no addon on the Note so I decided to go back to my good ol

GB Rocket Rom v23.

As the kernel was reported as safe, I did a full wipe and tried first to install my latest backup. --> Dodn't work.

I tried to wipe again to install zip from SD --> Wipe didn't work neither

I tried to install a stock rom KJ1 via ODIN --> Stuck at the end of Nand write start!!

Could anybody tell me what to do next?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhasg1007:
May be a case of Superbrick
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
Your post is slightly unclear. Can you please specify from which kernel you wiped the first time?

Kingdroid V2.1 used an unsafe LP8 Kernel. In that case you might have a superbricked phone on your hands. In that case I'm very sorry for you.

Now I cant find Kingdroid 2.1 anymore, it seems to have been taken down.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruXav:
Hello all,

The Kernel version was indeed LP8! I should have used odin and not wipe

it at all...Sh**!!!!

After trying to restore KJ1 via ODin it failed and now my Note shows

a smartphone + yellow triangle + computer and saying Firmware encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. When doing this I can't find how to recover with Kies.

Superbricked or not?

Do I have any chance to get it fixed in a Samsung Service Center?

Could I say that I was doing a firmware update and that is got stuck or do they have a way to see that I was actualle flashing?

Any idea of what this could cost me?

Thanks guys,

Bruxav
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
Try getting it to a service center and just tell them that upgrading via kies fooked your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prakashraobs:
This problem started increasing because of Kingdroid V2. and bad guide on installation of the ROM.

I hope Samsung Service Center is the only solution for it.

I too have tried to use Kingdroid V2 rom and my samsung note is gone now.

for getting little things we wasted a lot time, and we are now paying money to get it to its original condition atleast.

Lesson Learnt is Never ever Root or try any S**t Rom. speciall on Samsung handset. :( :confused:

was good enough to do everything in HTC
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdumitru:
I also bricked my device with KingDroid and don't seem to be able to recover. I even tried to repartition from ADB, but I get input/output errors, which means the emmc is corrupted, from what I can understand.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
Really sad to hear that. How did you go abot to brick it?

That could be valuable info for others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruXav:
I found a threat on this forum and as far as I understood, the kernel I had LP8 was not listed as dangerous (might be misunderstood by myself)

I did install Kingdroid 2.1 without any problem and then the S3 mod too. After rebooting it worked smoothly but had no Svoice or any S3 specs. So I decided to get back to RocketRom V23 wich is to me the best (Quick, smooth, batteryfriendly) I've tried so far.

As I thought Kingdroid was safe I did what NO ONE SHOULD DO...wipe it and there began the sh*t!

I tried installing a KJ1 stock rom this morning using Odin but it got stuck at the end of the process. When I unplugged it said ther had been a problem installing software. As requested I tried to restore with KIES but it didn't recognize the device.

Finally I brought it to the service center saying I got stuck trying to upgrade the software with official release in Kies.

Let's just hope they won't be able to restart it and get to know it was rooted and flashed a dozen times ;)

THanks anyway for all your messages, answers and tips.

See ya,
