If you want help, you need to give us something to work with mate! ;)

Did you do a full wipe?

Did you check the md5?

Did you by any chance follow any guide?

Et cetera...
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
I wiped all partitions using 4EXTrecovery, then installed miui 2.8.10, I saw the boot.img file in the zip so after that I did not install any kernel, I just rebooted.

Ho, one more thing, system data and cache partitions are ext4 formatted. This could be related, I did not try ext3.

Of course I checked the md5 too.
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
I had that too, but with hboot 7. Did you wipe dalvik? I have superwiped everything again, and dalvik seperately, and finally it worked. If you see MI logo, stay cool. First boot took a good while.

[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Thanks for the tips.

Just tried but still the same thing, well actually I think the black screen lasts less time than before but then, again, phone is rebooted to the recovery.

I'll try again tomorrow flashing different kernels.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I had exactly the same issue when I first installed as well - I had followed the guide for installing v2.8.3 in the "General" forum. The correct steps seem to be to follow the basic steps from that thread to install the correct hboot and the Chinese leak - then use ADB to reinstall you recovery of choice (I use EXT4). Reboot into recovery, wipe Cache + Dalvik and format Data (Do NOT do a full wipe). Then flash MIUI 2.8.10 and fix permissions before rebooting.

That worked for me - Thanks to Dr Higgins and maderijanus for their guidance along the way.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Just tried again the same way, plus fixing permissions, nothing changed. I did not format data after the installation but there should be nothing written on this partition during the update script. (Wiped everything before the flash)

Well, I won't flash a modded hboot and a crappy recovery just to test a rom.

This is too bad, but I hope they'll update their installatiin script for the next release
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Firstly, sorry for not picking up this thread (been away)

Secondly, no, you should not have to install another hboot.

I'm on the same hboot as you and it works fine. It's all about the extra partition, witch you have.

In fact, your setup is identical with mine.

And reading your post, it looks like you've done everything right.

I was about to add the permission thing, 'cause that resulted in a bootloop for some other devices (though, not DS, not before and not after the second .10), but you did that too, so...

The ext3 vs 4 shouldn't do any difference either (I have 4)

I am trying to figure out the difference between your actions/setup and mine, and I come up with zip!

Sorry mate :(

PS. I agree with you, and Oly, it would've make things so much easier it they only did a bit of editing, fixing the hboot thing.

It seems to be such an easy fix.

I doubt they will tho. The Xiaomi team seems more keen on adding new features than fixing existing bugs, and the english team fixes mosty the translation.

Request to some willing XDA mod? :rolleyes:

I don't know that it will help or not the same thing happened to me so I also flashed boot.img seperetaly and it worked.I'm using twrp recovery

By the way I'm on hboot 7.xxxxx

S-OFF

I don't know why flashing boot.img worked?
[HTC Desire S] FulesMacko:
Thanks, working. One more question, how could I erease the chinese symbols, from lock screen? Near the date.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Thanks it finally went through.

Here's what I did :

- I wiped everyting

- I wiped cache/dalvik

- formatted data

- flashed the rom

- flashed the kernel

- formatted cache/dalvik and data

AND !!

Between each step, I did a 4EXTrecovery reboot

Well that's a bit too much, maybe the only thing that I needed was to flash back the kernel, maybe the boot.img is in the zip, but the script won't install it xD
[HTC Desire S] croesus:
It happened for me once too. After all the steps it rebooted to recovery. I made a full wipe and repeated all the steps again and it worked for me. It booted normally.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Good news is that MIUI celebrates 2 years anniversary this week, I am quite sure they'll release MIUI 4.1 to save the date :)

.....................

Would be awesome, but I don't think so.

They would have to do the rom on cm again but they stopped to do so with 4.1

For now only a few devices have original JB
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Ok so after almost 24 hours on this rom here's my feedback.

Well, this is still MIUI (coming from latest GB, MIUI 2.4.13), I managed to get my home back as it were before, this is how I like it.

So long, no FC at all, but ES File Explorer won't get root privileges, don't know why yet, so I had to download root uninstaller to remove apps I didn't want.

Basically, the new super user application is more intrusive (5 spash screens to get root access) and not bulletproof (ES FileExplorer).

Some new features that I won't ever use, like antivirus and some other stuff I forgot about already (uninstalled).

Smoother reactivity in menus, nice transition effects, better performances in decoding videos (1080p, I know this is useless but that's just to have an idea)...

BUT, home is quite sluggish, wich is weird as performances seems to have increased. I tried to disable icons shadow and rounded corners (from dev settings) but it did not change anything, I only noticed that rounded corners is a prerequiste for GPU rendering (I would have thought the opposite).

I am a MIUI addict, I'll stay on v4, hoping home to be smoother in the next release (JB and its butter project next week maybe).

ATM, I am waiting for this week release wich should not enhanced my experience.
[HTC Desire S] first_damned:
To get root access in es explorer install supersu, allow it in lbe then you can un install lbe as supersu will be used now for root privileges
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Strange, my ES is working fine?

I answered yes a few times and then the "remember tick"

I don't think we'll see an JB-based DS-rom from miui until there's an official JB to our DS, from HTC...

And that's not very likely :(
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Well, is there any official ICS for our phone ?

Nope.

But we got MIUI v4, I am not worried about JB, just a matter of time :D
[HTC Desire S] dr.higgins:
Well, not in our part of the world anyway :rolleyes:

But so hope you are right, I really do! :D
[HTC Desire S] nagorimayank:
Does the latest 2.8.17 flashes the Kernel automatically or I've to flash it manually ????

[HTC Desire S] vampire36:

[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
OK. Sorry if this has been answered previously, I just don't have the nerves to search for the answer if one exists.

This is the third time I flash this rom. First I flashed 2.8.3, then 2.8.10, and now 2.8.17.

In all three instances the music player crashes... the overal experience is OK. But opening folders is extremely laggy, scrolling through the different app pages is laggy as well...

I relly think there's something on my part.. that has gone extremely wrong... just don't know what :(

Please, help if you have answers to those issues ^^

Crap! In 2.8.17 we also haven't got HW Acceleration: here is code:

[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
I'm on 2.8.10 and yeah its quiet lagy but music player never crashed for me actually nothing has crashed on my DS so far. and I played asphalt 7 and it played perfect without any glitches I also tried couple of games and it ran flawlessly. Folder opening and closing where I see lags but so far never had a FC or REBOOT which is impressive knowing that its ICS rom. Coz when I used aosp ICS I used to have 1 reboot at least a day and more than few FC. So I think this will get better by every update and maybe cause of lag could be visual theme of miui. I used stock sense 3 and it was bit laggy to so maybe DS is not powerful not anymore :mad:
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
I didn't do something special - but do not have a single problem.

The miui-"launcher"/home is laggy - but I use adw-launcher (I love the style/.. of miui but not the idea of this miui-launcher)

For me everything works - even wifi-hotspot

ROM is very much customizeable (notification tabbed or cm-styled, themes,..) and the calender app is much better than sense1-4

And everything is styled in same way (eg gmail and exchange mail) - and it responses very, very fast (when using adw)

Very impressed by this ROM (2.8.10)

THANKS to everyone working on this..

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

Only home is lagy. Settings, apps are very fast.

Try another launcher from market.. (eg adw, which is also more customiseable than stock-miui - and you can theme via miui)

For sure there is a Play Store.
[HTC Desire S] monkey21stc:
For anyone who feels that the Rom is laggy.. try turning off animations under developer settings..

[HTC Desire S] slurpdroid:
If you have problem with laggy home, change "wallpaper scrolling type" to "center/left/right" under launcher settings, smooth like hell on me :D

And I have v6 supercharger installed ;)
[HTC Desire S] niravnn:
only home is laggy and only sometime and opening and closing folder is bit laggy but it's not annoying :) in performance wise it's best ics rom nothing crashes no reboots every feature works and app and games works without any problem.

so I guess next update will get rid of lag on home and folder

Edit:- after closing animation in developer and changing scroll type in launcher setting lags in home is gone but still in folder lag is there I'm not completing though coz I love this rom and it doesn't annoy me at all.

Superb work by developers I love my DS more :)
[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Hboot?

What's with the hboot, people?

I'm not a Desire S user myself (see the signature), but my girlfriend has one.

The hboot was 0.98.0000 (or 0002), but after I S-OFF`ed it via Revolutionary last autumn, I remember it went up to 6.98.0000 (or 0002, or I could be wrong).

In any case, it's S-OFF alright.

I was able to flash any ROM with no problems so far : IceColdSandwich, Sense 3.0 & 3.5 ROMs, and even a MIUIv4 port two months ago. 4EXT TOUCHCOVERY flashed the ROMs (& whatever kernel I threw at it) flawlessly, and phone always booted up.

I also updated the radio (to the latest Gingerbread one, don't ask me what number it is, lol) via fastboot.

So... why should I take care of the hboot? I mean... first of all, I don't even know what that means : is MIUIv4 (or maybe other ROMs, too) not going to work properly (or not at all) on a specific hboot version... or what?

:eek:
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
My understanding is that this is because ICS uses a different partition structure (it needs an additional partition to run) which isn't catered for on the other versions of hBoot. This is likely to be a problem as when HTC eventually release the RUU for ICS it will (I expect) include a new hBoot as part of the package, which is why there is the warning about "This will wipe ALL of your data - make sure you know what you are doing"
[HTC Desire S] anazhd:
can you assist me on v6 supercharger?
[HTC Desire S] dont know:
Miui just not booting with wrong hboot.

So, if you want to flash miui you have to flash a new hboot fist.

[HTC Desire S] Formhault:
Haha... it did not boot. Screen remained black (yet lit on), right after the HTC boot splash. I guess the MIUIv4 port I used two months ago was with GB kernel, since the ICS ROM the phone is on right now also has 2.x kernel, not 3.x, and it is working. MIUIv4 official has 3.x kernel and doesn't work... Maybe that has something to do with it...

Anyway. Yeah, the hboot is 6.98.0002 or something like that (S-OFF). So I can update the hboot to that 2.x with no issues...? Will I still be S-OFF? Or it will be S-ON but fully unlocked...? Since it's an engineering version :-?

I'll update it next week, format all partitions, then flash MIUIv4. Lucky I did a 4EXT backup today :D .

Sorry to ask in the wrong thread, but connectivity is very scarce where I'm at right now, and I don't wanna risk loading another thread, lol.

Also, 3 comes after 2... Oh well... So the Hboot is made by Revolutionary. Cause only they made 0.x into 6 when S-OFF`ed.

Do you have Screen Filter app or any such app? Those kinds of apps tend to interfere with the OS's ability to install .apks - since they modify something at the very core level of Android, where the ability to install .apks is...

At least this is what I heard (on a Galaxy S2 thread) when I had a Screen Filter app on my EVO 3D :) .

That couldn't be it. If he hadn't had that checked, he wouldn't have been brought to the actual installation menu.

There are some applications that if running, can interfere with the OS so bad that you can't even open an .apk (pressing on it does nothing). Generally, such apps are those who have very low ratings and do nothing useful - or force close before you actually open them, haha - and could be seen as viruses (might do harm to your device - asking for unnecessary permissions etc.).
