no it is not. unlocking the bootloader gives you the option to flash custom roms. to have S-OFF it will give you the option and freedom to flash kernels through recovery(which means no stupid fastboot no more) and radios. Currently the only think you can flash is roms. Kernel is through fastboot which stinks but we can live with it

S-OFF – What And Why?

HTC have installed a sort of security check whose level is determined by S-OFF/S-ON. Essentially, this security level is a flag stored on the device’s radio that checks signature images for any firmware before it is allowed to be written to system memory. This hinders using any custom ROMs, splash images, recovery etc., and also restricts access to the NAND flash memory. However, when security level is set to S-OFF, the signature check is bypassed, allowing a user to upload custom firmware images, unsigned boot, recovery, splash and HBOOT images, as well as official firmware that has been modified, this enabling maximum customization of your HTC Android device.

Furthermore, S-OFF also reduces restrictions on accessing the NAND flash memory on the device, allowing all partitions (including /system) to be mounted in write mode while the operating system is booted.

[HTC One X] mehras1991:
well, u guys make me wonder, but I'm sure of what I saw, after I went through HTCdev instructe & unlocked the bootloader it wrote on my htc screen S-off the second before it reboots & finish everything
[HTC One X] mehras1991:
Thanks

think I'm going for jdroid exodized, I'm gonna miss sense a little bit

& one more thing, if u noticed there's nice transparent theme on status bar in sence which is not there anywhere else, is there anyway I can apply the same thing myself in any other ROM? I hate the same usual boring android status bar color
[HTC One X] dodge3003:
Yassou.

There are a few roms with the transparent status bar, one of them is this one here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625816 and it has by far the most tweaks of any rom. Enjoy :-)
[HTC One X] mehras1991:
does this rom overclock? I mean like overclocking by itself

because I have good experience on that & I don't want the rom to overclock the cpu by itself, it harms the cpu in long term use
[HTC One X] dodge3003:
I can not remember, sorry. But I have given you the link, go and research it please. :-)

Hey so i recently rooted, im boot loader unlocked S-ON, flashed the boot.img and am running CM9 alpha 4 on my double shot.

however as of yesterday, all it does is keep blinking an orange light and and not charging, the few times i have been able to turn it on it shows 0 - 4 % battery.

i was running CWMR the latest version but i read another similar thread that was resolved and flashed stock recovery i think, i cant turn it on to check currently :/

Checked for similar threads nothing could really help.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] manimmal:
If you have no juice to experiment, you will need a different battery thats charged in order to work with it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Try leaving it on the on the charger for little while. Sometimes the batteries take a while to accept a charge. My Anker will take quite a while for it to start showing charge if I ran it all the way down.

Barring that get another battery and the standalone charger such as the Anker battery two pack.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
make sure that Tis not your charger. Did you try charging with a different charger.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Script Kitty:
Ok well i still have my broken phone(the one i have no is the warranty one i got from them, didnt send the old broken one back yet), and ive put the battery in there to charge before the problem seems to be this.

The phone isn't charging while its off. It can charge while turned on however at a VERY VERY slow rate. ive read on some thread that CWM recovery might be to blame due to a fastboot thing?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
This was a known bug with the old Madaco recovery, is that the one you are using? If so, update to the latest one from rom manager in the market.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Script Kitty:
No im using the 5.0.2..7( i think something around there) CWM, finally charged the battery up, and it went from 100% - 88 like that* snaps fingers* , trying to calibrate the battery to see if that helps but the voltage is almost 4200 mv and the percentage is decreasing... so i might just flash stock, flash stock recovery lock boot loader then just see if i can warranty it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I have been rocken Caulks roms for a while and have always been happy. I am using 1.6 and battery life is being a problem for me.

I see that Caulkin posted on the HTX X forum that it appears he is getting an ATT X, so I guess that dev will dwindle. I hope that isn't the case and maybe he is just waiting for the final release, but he has been quiet for a while.

Thinking of moving to Cyanogen. For those that have, how is it?

I don't like the 4g reboot issue with Caulks rom.

I did run AOKP and noticed that apps kept disappearing on me and it had the emmc issue that I didn't see on Caulks. Is this problem apparent in Cyan?

Can the PRL be updated in Cyan? If not, how do you update it?

Is anything NOT working with Cyanogen?

I would assume to flash to Cyanogen I would need to odin back to 29, then flash cyanogen, gapps, modem?

Feel free to add in any difference that stand out that I am overlooking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Majin101:
Have u looked at the cm9 thread?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Download ROM toolbox PRO (worth every dollar.)

Go into App Manager and select Batch mode > Backup user apps (Select app+data).

Then, odin EL26 recovery,

wipe data/factory reset,

flash cm9 alpha 5,

flash gapps 4/29,

reboot.

Once booted, download rom toolbox pro from Google Play,

Then inside app manager of ROM Toolbox PRO, Batch > Restore all apps (hit apps + Data) and you'll be right back where you were before. If any apps cause problems, wipe data indivudually. (the only app I have a problem with as far as daat goes is Opera Mobile so far.)

*Optional*

Flash the new TWRP recovery/kernel in Android Dev section next via Odin/Mobile Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
Since some people are having troubles rooting the new ICS update, I thought I would help out using the method that I used.

First off, you will need to download the Galaxy II Toolkit for the T989.

This is by ajster1989. All credit goes to him.

DOWNLOAD HERE

http://www.dillonpos.com/fmanager/Android/XDA/SGSIIToolkit2.4.zip

After you download and install the toolkit, you will need to connect your phone.. Then open the program. It's default path is C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit. After you connect your phone and run the program, click T989 as your device, and it will download the necessary files to your computer in order to do everything.

After you are to the main screen, click on 'Flash Clockwork Mod HARD/TOUCH Recovery. I recommend the HARD recovery, as it is compatible with most roms.

It will then open Odin and your phone will go into download mode. Click on PDA, then go to the C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit directory again, click on devices, then T989, then Recoveries. Select the 'Hard' one.

Your phone will then reboot. You are not quite rooted yet.

When it is rebooted, connect your phone to USB storage, and open your External SD Card, and copy the root.zip to it. This is located in C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit\Devices\T989.

After that is copied, reboot the phone by holding down the power, VOLUP and VOLDOWN side buttons. Hold them all at the same time. Hold them until the phone reboots, and you go into ClockworkModRecovery.

When you are in there, use the Volume Down button to scroll to 'Install zip from sdcard', and click on the root.zip that you copied earlier. It will ask you if you are sure you want to do this, click yes. It will then install SuperUser to the system. After that is complete, click 'Reboot System Now'.

Your phone will reboot, and congratulations, you are rooted!

Just trying to help, as I had troubles at the beginning.

Good day all!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tozak:
Hi all,

I am just wondering if anyone has heard of an update by supercurio for a newer voodoo sound codec for the g2x. The development on github shows nothing has been done on it in nearly a year.

I really like high quality music and a higher version is the only piece missing from my puzzle.

Any news at all would be great for better or worse. Have a great day everyone!

-Tozak
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
The g2x doesn't truly support voodoo, so he most likely discontinued work for it.

All voodoo can do on the g2x is amplify the audio.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rbryant1983:
I flashed the beats audio apk and used voodoo to turn up the amp.

Sounds great and I can get the loudness I wanted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I wish there would be sound improvements with all this stuff but I see little to no difference! My real question is how loud do you guys need the music to be lol, if I turn it all the way up on my crappy ear buds I eventually have to turn it down cause its too loud, and my right ear is 60ish % cause of gun fire and fire works and stuff haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rbryant1983:
Just in my truck. I have a tape player with an adapter to use the stock stereo. The amp boost allows me to drowned out try he tape player sounds. Haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tozak:
Thanks for the feed back everyone! Looks like its v1 for life lol.

FYI I run voodoo sound (as I hear it improve sound quality), with Neutron mp3 player no settings on (improves sampling to 32 bit instead of 16 bit like other players), along with equalizer app with basic EQ setting to get bass n treble poppin and just the reverb set to large hall.

320 kbps mp3's sound out of this world on my Sennhieser 598.

That is what I found works for me. These days I am finding less is more for sound quality and no longer use beats audio or my fiio e5.

Will CM work on Defy XT??

Thanks i got that link for sbf. But i want to know if the CMs and MIUIs would work on this phone or not :confused:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImBridge:
Is there any established method to root Defy XT ?

Not sure if the information is already available.

I am not able to decide between Defy+, Defy XT and Xperia Ray. Your answer would help.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanpurite:
among those xperia ray seems to be the best . you can also try htc one v.

xperia ray has good support as well.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImBridge:
Thanks for suggestion.

My dillema :

If I go for Defy+ : I get biggest user available memory - approx. 1.2 GB but will not get ICS from motorola. I have to update CM9 which is not yet stable. And I have never done so in the past.

If I go for Defy XT : I am going to get ICS from motorola but not the 1.2 GB memory and I dont know it is rootable or not. That is why my first question - is Defy XT rootable ? If it is rootable, I can remove some app and free up some space.

If I go for Xperia Ray : It is also ICS promised. But has 300/350 MB user available memory and it is a delicate phone. Not as sturdy as defy series. Also it is the costliest among all three.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanpurite:
I'm sure defy + will get a stable cm9 build soon (thanks to developer here)

defy xt should be rootable(if not , there will be a solution soon)

xperia ray has already got ics in India,but the user interface is not that good .

now its your choice .
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImBridge:
Infact I was also inclined to Spice Steller. It has got everything highly superior than Defy/Xperia except the user available memory - only 150 MB. And it has go amazing price - Rs. 9600 !! But it is not rootable so far so no way to free up space. There is already a thread here on it but no luck so far.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsk_kelkar:
Superoneclick should be able to root Defy XT

Superoneclick works for almost all phones they say. Works for defy, defy+, fire xt, fire, cliq, cliq xt. So i guess should work for Defy XT too
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImBridge:
Yes, I checked superoneclick thread and I agree that it can root most of the phones. However, I need defy xt in their compatibility list. Or somebody confirming that yes, it can be done with it. Plz. note that Spice steller could not be rooted through it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsk_kelkar:
Somebody has rooted Defy XT

This guy delenati seems to have rooted Defy XT as said on this thread.

You can contact him and let us know too

Is there any news leak or anything about ICS on Defy XT or just because the touch keys look like the ones in ICS thats why you saying it??

[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
Hi guys,

I just have an issue caused by me. When I've opened the phone I've managed to damage one of the components and that cause my vibration motor is not working anymore :( unfortunately as it is a part of the circuit for it. I'm just about to change it but the problem is I don't know what is the value of that component as I couldn't measure it as it was damaged so much so it wasn't possible to do so.

I would like to ask if is here any1 who can tell me what is the value of that SMD 0402 capacitor ( value in F = farad) - ( see the picture )?

Only problem is if some1 want to check the value it is mean that the capacitor have to be unsolder at 1st to do so. So please, if is here some1 who can do that for me I would really appreciate ;)

Or maybe some1 have the BOM (bill of material) and schemes of HTC One X ? that would help too. :)

Cheers guys

:cool:
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
DAMN! i doubt many people would want to do that mate, bit risky opening it!
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
Actualy to open the phone is not risky and it is pretty easy.Only thing is to unsolder the cap ad than solder it back ;) that may be tricky and that would need a good SMT experienced person.

I just hope we have some1 like that here (except me lol ) :)
[HTC One X] ikeabuchi:
If you get a multimeter and see whether the capacitor is across the power rails if thats the case then more likely it would be a decoupling capacitor that decouples the inductive spikes from the motor when running. I would take a guess that it would be in the order of nanoFarads maybe 100nF.

Even if this component is open circuited that wouldnt stop the motor from working are you sure you haven't put excessive force on the capacitor and it has subsequently levered up the flexible pcb and open circuited a feed i.e. track)from the controller chip that feeds the motor?

For such small work I have a handheld microscope with an inbuilt lcd screen. makes life easier :-)

you need to look more closely in that particular area if theres a minute tear on a corner or 90 degree bend of the flexible mylar pcb :-)
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
I have checked that under 8x magnifier and I couldn't see any other damage other than that crushed capacitor so I guess it is only that. But to be sure I will check it once again and I look closer on the whole circuit and all the paths ;)

I can't check it at home as I don't have any equip here so I hope I will have some free time at work tomorrow

But thanks fro info, it may help ;)

:cool:
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
so I've checked the whole circuit for vibration and I haven't found any other fault than that damaged capacitor.

So it have to caused only by this for sure.

So I hope some1 can help me as HTC get back to me they can only repair in their repair center and they will not provide any details about any parts and they can't sell any parts either.

So as usual no help at all from HTC, grrrr...

Their customer service is one of the worst
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
So no luck at all with HTC customer service as I expected :(

1st HTC Reply

2nd HTC Reply

So now there is only hope left for me, some1 can find out that info for me

:cool:
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Have you a feed at the motor? Although if it sees the caps open circuit it may just stop the supply anyway.

That's a resistor isn't it? Not a cap.
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
I haven't tested the circuit with multimeter in any way but it is a capacitor for sure and not resistor.

SMD resistors have the metal contacts only from top-front-bottom side of the component

SMD capacitors have the metal contacts all way round

There are caps on that circuit, some are black and some grey color .

Only problem is that the caps don't have the value marked on the body as some resistors usually have, but normally bigger than 0402 package, so from 0603 and bigger as on the 0402 and 0201 would be really hard to read anyway :)

:cool:
[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Might be worth getting a meter on it then, while setting it to permanently vibrate somehow.. Sure they're apps for that.

Unless your positive it is that cap, then id just pop it out and take a trip to maplins. I've soldered SM parts on phones before, it's fiddly but its possible. They were 50 quid Nokias mind, not 450 quid htcs. Fine iron, and don't get it to hot.
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
problem is I couldn't test it as the cap was cracked on half ;) so no way to measure :(

There is no problem to solder/unsolder for me ;) as I'm experience (work in Electronic manufacture business for some time ) :)

:cool:
[HTC One X] ikeabuchi:
If the SMD package is brown in color then it will be a capacitor. if black with no marking then may be a resistor or an inductor. if it is the latter then that would explain why the motor doesn't vibrate.
[HTC One X] mysdavey:
Surely you understand that HTC can and will not help customers with voiding the warranty of their phone? They support the devices as they are sold and if you decide to open and break the phone yourself you're basically on your own. Helping out with this issue would be to spend time and money to help a customer who has already agreed that no help will be given. Not to sound harsh, but you can't possibly expect any manufacturer to help out with such an issue?

Your best bet would be to contact a repair centre, not HTC. Regenersis, for example, might be able to tell you what component that is.
[HTC One X] bozza1001:
They only cost Like 50 p for that capacitor
[HTC One X] bigoliver:
Hi,

Did you manage to get your phone fixed, please give us an update mate.
[HTC One X] rikardo1979:
well, not yet as I still haven't found what component is it.The HTC won't help as I posted before and I haven't found any1 who could.

But as someone mentioned here before that it may be a resistor instead of capacitor, so I've risk it and I just tried to shorten that pads and vibrator is working.

Problem is I still don't know what component should be there :( and I'm afraid that if I leave it with just a link between that may damage the whole circuit in time.

So it looks I have to live without vibration or send it for repair what I would have to pay for it.
