[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sagie:
I've noticed I've been having momentary WiFi disconnections ever since I upgraded to ICS.

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer to transfer files wirelessly to the device (not via USB), and ever since ICS it has became an unreliable way to transfer files. If I transfer a big file most chances are that the WiFi connection will drop during the transfer, causing it to fail.

The connection is restored immediately but then I have to restart the transfer process as it halts when the connection fails.

I have excellent signal level (physically located close to the Access Point), I tried flashing the latest modem firmware (XXLR1) - twice, I've set "2.4GHz only" in the WiFi advanced settings, all to no avail: I still get these connection drops.

Has anybody got any information about this problem? Been experiencing similar problems?

Thanks!

If you don't want to upgrade your HBOOT to blackrose 2.0 or 2.0.2 post here so the developers know who to support for the Sense 3.6/4.0 roms they release.

I can also try to help you, I am also on 6.13.1002 and don't intend to change it.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Im using the same hboot. However I may upgrade if you can still go back to S-ON with this method? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
I think that was made with an old hboot in mind, before HTC started 2.0 bootloaders and the lib partition. You could try it, but I don't know any effects.

As the time it stands from my knowledge reading around here, once you go 2.0+ you can't go back down unless you go to htc-dev and unlock thus putting your phone's imei in their database
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
OK, have you seen the tool made by NonverBose? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373697

it allows you to downgrade the hboot but not sure if it works with the new hboot or how the S-on method works with blackrose.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
6.13.1002 here.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Htc-phones posted this not sure if helpful
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
That's the thread where I saw you can downgrade from 2.0+ if you go to htcdev and unlock first. There is no known method to stay s-off and downgrade without going to HTC dev, as I understand it.
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Yeah, I have a sense 3.6 rom stock made from the RUU and it's booting and working fine, even after partition format etc.

I don't know if he can make it work since he doesn't have a vivo to test with, but he is doing sense 4.0.

Normally I don't like sense, but this is just a side project to get this working with the rev hboot.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I think it uses tacoroot. I downgraded before from 2.00 to 1.13 to use revolutionary without unlocking at htcdev
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Can you list your steps? for those who want to try it, we need a confirmed working method
[HTC Incredible S] bob8x:
I'm here with 6.13.1002 as well, and I would prefer to stay with that Hboot...

BTW kaijura I came from hboot 2.0 without passing by htc-dev, I just run nonverbose's tool...

Originally that tool used hellion bug or something similar but now uses tacoroot and work for sure with hboot 2.0 ( personally tested) not sure about 2.02.

The step are simple: just extrat the tool and answer the question...

If I recall corretly: downgrade, I don't have htc-dev unlock phone, I want to create a goldcard and that's it!

The script does all, u have only to reboot the phone and tell him when is rebooted!
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Interesting, thanks for the share. I will read into it on the tacoroot.

Here is a link for stock HTC Sense 3.6 ICS 4.0.4 from the Chinese RUU. It's not based on Niks' or Lost prophet's rom. I just made it so it's working for 6.13.1002 hboot for anyone who wants to test it to try it out instead of waiting.

I don't intend to develop this rom or add features to it. It's just a test rom to see if it works and if you want to see what sense 3.6 is like without having to upgrade hboot.

STOCK CHINESE RUU WORKING FOR HBOOT 6.13.1002:

some bugs I've noticed:

- No play store, this may be due to related with CN region as they don't have google services (gmail, youtube, etc). Need to figure if it's APK related or something else.

- SU isn't loaded in yet. I'll have to look later what's wrong.

- Wifi MIGHT or MIGHT NOT work. It seems to be a regional issue and I need SU to install wifixmanager to test it.

- don't know what else, I didn't use it very long.

Rest of everything should be working. Mobile data, camera/camcorder, gmail, youtube, browser. Like I said, it's just a test rom so you know what sense 3.6 is like when the official one is ready.

[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
kaijura, first yes its correct that with the newish tacoroot exploit we no longer need to unlock via htcdev (thanks for pointing this out guys).

Secondly I have successfully swapped from revolutionary hboot to blackrose 2.02 and then back to revolutionary, no PC connection required. Here's the steps I took (and that others may at their own risk :D)

Make sure you have a nandroid or rom you wish to install. I know I shouldn't have to tell most people this so late in the game but anythings possible.

Download blackrose and extract hboot_blackrose.img to your sdcard root. Its not necessary to use the root folder but fits in this context.

Open terminal, or download and open if you dont have, and type:

su
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_blackrose.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

then reboot into recovery.

4ext touch recommended that I do a full system format, but you could probably just get away with formatting cache.

At this stage you should probably verify that you have actually installed the blackrose, by entering hboot.

To revert to revolutionary, its pretty much the same procedure. Simply put revhboot.img in your sdcard root folder and type:

su
dd if=/sdcard/revhboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Reboot into recovery and format the cache, and verify again if necessary.

Edit: using the dd command does carry some risk. You should check the md5sums before flashing. This can be done in terminal

md5sum /sdcard/hboot_blackrose.img

md5sum /sdcard/revhboot.img

or in your favourite file explorer.

hboot_blackrose.img

MD5: 9ccb6c894bba1a32a551a6569fc6fccd

revhboot.img

MD5: b9758c59b660cb3dcf5037ec5ccd6b78
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I am still on the revolutionary Hboot, and I do not intend to change unless there is either a performance improvement, or if I have to.

I am on ice cold sandwich

I dont really want to be messing with things I dont usually mess with, just as a precaution

Haven't you guys got around the problem anyway?

Just be careful using the steps in my previous post, check the md5sum first and type the dd command very carefully. Would also help to increase the font size on the terminal so you can see what you're doing :)

And yes, you can just flash the revhboot.

[HTC Incredible S] dr.pythagora:
hi,

thankls for the post. i do have onbly one question:

where do you find the file hboot_blackrose.img?

i have unziped blackrose_120421.zip, the only blackrose i have found in the web. it does not have

the file hboot_blackrose.img, but is does have hboot_blackrose.nb0.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Search the BlackRose thread. There is a post that has links to HBOOT images, including BlackRose.
[HTC Incredible S] dr.pythagora:
thanks tpbklake for the answer.

i have found blackrose for htc is (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1509236) - strange enough, the search engine at xda-developers does not work as it should sometimes.

i do have a few questions before i give a try to blackrose hboot:

- can anyone of you confirm that the method with dd at

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26909973&postcount=13

works well in htc is?

- if i like to go back and recover (or reinstall) my ics+sense4.0a rom (from nitsuj17), which actually works fine with revolutionary 6.13 hboot, will it work with blackrose hboot?

- can anyone cite a few 'strong' reasons why blackrose hboot is better than, for example, revolutionary 6.13 hboot?

thanks
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
The method works for me.

The sense 4 rom by nitsuj17 works on blackrose 2.02.

The reason why blackrose is better than revolutionary is engineering commands, /lib partition support for some roms based on ics ruu and many more :)
[HTC Incredible S] dr.pythagora:
i also confirm that the dd method for installing blackrose (http://xdaforums.com/show...3&postcount=13), works for me. note that as recommended, i wiped just the cache partition (and I didnt touch the format partition).
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Hi,

I'm kinda new to the Android world, I was an iPhone user. But finally made the witch =)

Well like the person I am, I like to experiment a bit. But I think I overdid a bit this time and here I am asking for help:

When booting, I see the HTC logo after a few minutes I get the following message:

Then above I have a menu. That's it. I can't fix this.. Tried a few things. Formatted my SD card etc but nothing is working. Possible to help me out please? Already told you guys that I'm new to this amazing world so please don't kill me

I see the following in the Bootloader Screen:

How to fix this? Can someone help me?
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Can really noboy help me outta this please??
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
First of all you posted an issue on an old thread and you post had nothing to do with the original thread's content.

You have not given enough details on how you got to this state. The only info you gave us was you tried to format your SD card.

After you gained S-OFF and installed a custom recovery using the Revolutionary process, what did you attempt to do?

Did you try to install a custom ROM? If so, which one?
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
I don't know which custom ROM, don't remember :(

Is it possible to fix this or is my phone for the trash?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Your phone is not trashed. The fact that you can get booted to the HBOOT screen is good.

From there can you get booted into the Recovery menu by selecting RECOVERY? Or is that where you are getting the errors from?
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
When I select RECOVERY I get to see Bootlogo off HTC then directly those revolutionary errors again
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, then it sound like you need to flash a new recovery image and then flash a new ROM.

Use this thread for a reference. You want to start at step 4 in the process since you already have S-OFF and then stop at step 14.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Thanks for the fast response!

The link in the 4th step is down :s

You know any other link?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Here you go. The zip file contains the recovery img file.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
I have to unpack it or just place the zip in root?

Thanks!!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Unpack it and put the img file in the same directory on your PC where you run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Okay I'll try it out =)

Thanks for the help, I'll post feedback !
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Okay I reached step 11. After that (takes around 3-4 minutes), go back to the main menu. Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm. Go back to the main menu, select Advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache > confirm. Always best to do these 2 things before flashing a new ROM.

When I do that

I get to see HTC bootlogo for like 5 seconds

then I see the following:

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

Then Menu

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Did I do something wrong now, or really just can't be fixed?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
So did you get that error in Step 11 after you selected Wipe Dalvik Cache?

Did you even get to step 12 and flash CM 7.2 ROM?

Not really clear based on what you posted.

Also, once you flash CM 7.2, you should be ready to go. I made a mistake by telling you to do steps 13 & 14. You can stop after step 12 is completed.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
U kinda were a bit too fast :D

Check my previous post again, I've Edited it. I have reached step 12. But installation aborted :(
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Which menu option are you selecting when you are attempting to flash the CM 7.2 ROM?

You should be selecting

Install a zip file from the SD card

.

Where did you find the link to download CM 7.2? Does that link have a MD5 checksum value that you could check to make sure you got a good download?
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
Thats the menu I selected indeed

The download happenend in step 8, that's the link. I've chosen 'stable mod'

no md5 checkup
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, so that link has the MD5 checksum value listed, so you can check the MD5 value of CM 7.2 zip file on your SD card using a tool like Astro File Explorer or Root Explorer and compare the values. If they aren't equal, then you have a bad download.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
I can only find APK?? No EXE?? Is it for android devices??
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yeah sorry these are Android apps from the Marketplace, so they won't do you any good until you get a ROM flashed.

While the phone is in CWM Recovery, you can open a command window on your PC, set the working directory to where you have adb.exe installed and then type:

adb shell md5 /sdcard/[name of CM7.2 zip file] and that should give you a value to compare.

If you downloaded the md5sums program on your pc and copied the program in c:\windows\system32 and want to use the windows program to test the rom md5sum, do it this way.

Connect your phone via usb to your pc,

Start your phone (vol down + power button), go in recovery/mounts & storage/mount USB storage

Windows will assign a drive letter to your phone, for example G.

Open the windows cmd app and type the following command (note that I assume that windows has assigne the G: drive letter, but you'll have to replace-it in the following command by wathever letter your windows environnement will have assigned to your phone:

I'll leave it like this now? Or is there something better to update to? Thanks for your help!

PS.Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, so you got your phone booted, right?

This process wiped out CWM recovery, so first you will need to flash the CWM recovery image again and then try to make a 'nandroid' backup of this ROM installation. If the backup completes successfully, then you can try installing another custom ROM from the Development section.
[HTC Incredible S] glussier:
If you look, a couple of MakhouT's posts back, there seems to be a problem with the sdcard.

If it was me having this problem, I would back the sdcard on the pc and freshly format that sdcard.

Yes phone is booted and running. Can get into options and all now :)

Okay I'll look up a bit, because it is kinda hard to blend in all this new android stuff. Reading all stuff about ROM, Kernels, etc etc But I understand a bit more now by being busy with my HTC. You have a topic you recommend me where stuff are well explained?

Thanks again for the help!

That wasn't the issue. Before asking for help I formatted the SD card and even replaced with a new one :)
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The best thing you can do is keep searching, reading and learning. Read the sticky posts in this General Section as well as the Development Section is a great place to start.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
I already have a new problem :s

Android asked me there is a new software update to install. I proceeded. Then it went booting for like 15 mins

I took the battery out of it. Now when I boot I see the bootlogo afterwards I see a cellphone with a red triangle and a red exclamation in it :s and can't get any further than that :s

EDIT: tried installing back the stock ROM (called RUU I thought, the one you gave me) but keeps having the same problem
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That is because the OTA update is not compatible with the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT that you have installed. You need to reboot into recovery and restore your 'nandroid' backup to get back to a bootable state and then ignore any HTC update notifications.

If you want to 'upgrade' the HTC Sense ROM you have, then you need to look at the stock, rooted ROMs such as 3.08.405.x or 3.11.405.x in the Development sections. You can flash these from CWM recovery and it will be as if you applied the HTC OTA update.
[HTC Incredible S] MakhouT:
I hadnt done the back up yet :(

Edit: Tried going into recovery gives me that triangle with exclamation again

Edit 2: Hope you can help me with this one?

I ran out of thanks but I think you're right. Would also explain why only running the ruu managed to fix the phone.
