[HTC One S] frdd:
I'm would guess this is due to the RUU not matching your CID, in other words it is not for your carrier or region. When bootloader is locked only stuff signed by HTC can be flashed and it must match CID (or you should have supercid) and your phone must have stock HTC recovery. Also your RUU can have download errors, check md5sum if one is given where you downloaded from.
[HTC One S] Zfalconxx:
i try to install this RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.11.401.110_Radio_16.12.20.02U_16.05.20.16_M2_release_263510_signed.exe

and how to install stock HTC recovery ?

(Sorry . noob here XD)
[HTC One S] clewis:
Anyone know when the 4.0.4 update comes out for s3? And does the new trickdroid rom have 4.0.4 for s3?
[HTC One S] Zfalconxx:
Ive already install and update ruu RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.11.707.112_Radio_16.12.20.02U_16.05.20.16_M2_release_264458_signed.exe .

Install and update success .

But when i try to use Paul's Superboot , It stuck at The Boot Page , 'HTC quiet brilient' and some red text ...

Can help ? :'(
[HTC One S] Wyall:
So you installed that clean Version, unlocked the Bootloader and then followed the steps in Paul's Thread step by step?
[HTC One S] Zfalconxx:
Yes .

Is it correct ?
[HTC One S] Wyall:
Yes, I think It's correct. Do you try to get into recovery or simply want to boot your phone? Because you just get root but no custom recovery
[HTC One S] maxvador:
Hi,

I've a HTC one S (S3) from Asia. I'm not able to update the CID, is it anyway possible to install the trickdroid rom?

And has it been released for S3?

Thanks
[HTC One S] tattooalex28:
Instal the europen ruu, after that unlook bootloder, afer that root with paula superboot from modaco, instal twrp recovery from xda, instal rom, flasboot scrip and thats it.i made'it this way and ora working great.
[HTC One S] maxvador:
I already unlock the bootloader, root it. But when I want to change the CID for installing the european RUU it doesn't work.

Then I can't install the European RUU. Did you install it on a S3 Asia?
[HTC One S] Wyall:
Did you try to relock it first? RUU doesn't work on unlocked phones
[HTC One S] maxvador:
Yes I did. I guess it's a CID problem but I can't change it. I'm sure I'm not the only one
[HTC One S] tattooalex28:
Nope I have the European version of the s3, but I think the hardver it the same.butt u need to relock the bootloder tu instal another ruu like will said
[HTC One S] Zfalconxx:
i just want to root my S3 .

So what should I do now ?
[HTC One S] Wyall:
Look at the Modaco.com Forum, in the One S Section Paul O'Brien posted a superboot img for the ville c ( the s3 One s). If you flash that, you get root. Cant Post the Link atm, hope you find it on your own
[HTC One S] Zfalconxx:
the superboot img from here , correct ? This one - Superboot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) from http://www.modaco.com/topic/352493-how-to-root-your-htc-one-s-for-windows-mac-and-linux/ .

So, i just follow the instruction ,

How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX

- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory

- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then pressing the power button again to enter fastboot.

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'

But , then , it just stuck at reboot screen.boot and showing 'htc quietly brilliant' 'and red text ' This build is for development purposese only . Do no distribute outside of HTC . Failure to comply may lead to legal action '

PS : My One S3 is from Asia , Ive install the clean version ruu of asia before this ,

[HTC One S] kenyw:
I am wondering, now with the news that AOSP work is is going to be done on the Sony Xperia S (link), which has the same MSM8260 S3 chip as the VilleC2, we might in the future be able to make use of some of that for basing ROMs on.
[HTC One S] qzem:
Ok guys that really sucks, that there is no development for our phone. It strange that from 6000+ downloads that TrickDroid for S3 received, there is not a singled experienced rom developer among us. I don't have any experience in making cyanogen mod, neither I have enough time to learn everything. I have some experience rom building with kitchen and stuff, and modding them a little bit. I really hope that someone will appear and start to port Cyanogenmod or some other AOSP based rom on our phone. Or at leaste make a decent custom kernel with new governors and may OC capability and some other improvements, for a stock deodexed rom. I would love to step in but my lack of time (due to a full time job) is not in my favor.

Maybe in future if nobody else with more experiance will try to make some quality custom rom, I will try it bymyself, but the chances for success are very small at this point...
[HTC One S] philrieberer:
Hi... I'm new on htc.... have a lot of eperience with rooting and flashing samsung devices... htc .. no.....

unfortunately I got an HTC one s (C2) phone..... okay.. I will learn to live with that....

my first question.... do i need the stuff from htcdev.com ? how dow I know if my phone is a retail device or not ?

i have some kind of czechian phone... no real english language availabe.... (my mother's tongue is german) and also no german....

actually I want to flash only a european stock rom for now... ?

is this possible ? and how ?

best regards, philipp
[HTC One S] Wyall:
First thing to do is to unlock your bootloader. That is the thing with htcdev.com. I don't know it, but I'd say that you can unlock every one s, also those with branding or something. I'd just give it a try. But if you are not sure, wait for an answer from somebody with better knowledge
[HTC One S] kenyw:
Having effectively been forced into owning a VilleC2 through a warranty exchange (HTC UK have tried to get me an S4 unit for 4 weeks and failed), I would like to try helping the development effort. Unfortunately I don't have the experience or knowledge needed to build a custom ROM at this point but I can help with testing and such while figuring things out, albeit slowly as I am working full time, as you are.

With regard to OC capability, the S3 in the VilleC2 is probably operating at its physical limit when running at 1.7GHz, although it's pretty amazing that the governor steps it all the way down to 160Mhz, that's lower than the Desire's CPU lowest clock rate :)
[HTC One S] philrieberer:
Thanks, I already Made it... unlocked bootloader -- root with superboot --- flash touch recovery with Goomangager from the playstore

wipe cache and factory reset in recovery ... flashed trickrom in recovery ... start again with fastboot mode.... flash boot.ini ... reboot...

set up my phone new ... that's it.... worked perfectly . I have Trickdroid running on my C2 device.
[HTC One S] clewis:
is the s3 chipset dead or something why have we not had any update 4.0.4 yet the s4 version has had 2 this is a joke....
[HTC One S] philrieberer:
yes, this is really a joke... because of this I ordered toady a s4 version and will give my s3 crap to my wife.. she won't feel any difference.
[HTC One S] clewis:
Hmm I'm thinking of doing the same now tbh I don't care about it having s3 because htc did good and there isn't a big difference between them almost no difference.

But seriously they should atleast give us the same Fuxking updates its a piss take I reckon the one v will get the update before us.
[HTC One S] philrieberer:
no difference ? have you ever seen the great custom roms for the s4 ?
[HTC One S] clewis:
I'm talking about stock. Not custom roms I know there is a big difference there but that ain't htc's fault, well kinda.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
True, HTC isn't responsible for custom ROMs.

But it is their fault that there are two variants of One S hardware which might perform nearly equivalently in stock firmware, and yet the S3 one has hardware pushed almost to its absolute limit (1.7GHz is the highest clockspeed Qualcomm has specified for the S3 MSM8260) while the S4 one has extra potential performance to be tapped by custom ROMs.

Additionally, advanced users and enthusiasts (the slices of buyers which are more likely to include ROM developers among them) are probably going to avoid the S3 One S where possible, if the same price is being charged for both.

Plus, right now one has Android 4.0.4 and the other doesn't.
[HTC One S] clewis:
Well HTC has now official added there word to the update, it's now on the update section for the one s on HTC UK, but still no word for the S3 version, im guessing as it's been added there we should get it in the next week or so because the UK website does list 1.7Ghz there.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
And here is a problem now.

The update mentioned on HTC's website is only for the S4 version. People with the S3 version of the One S are just going to get confused by this news item.
[HTC One S] clewis:
Yep unless it gets released in next couple days which I don't see, I don't understand why htc doing this coz u pretty much can't get an s4 version anymore.... So users with s3 chip always catching up.
[HTC One S] joni_strokes:
hi everyone, i just bought htc one s with S3 processor for 1 month,

i already unlocked it, but have a problem with the recovery,

i don't want to use the superboot, because modaco itself said that "it is not safe",

so anyone here have a link for the CWM recoveries that compatible to S3, and so that i can rooted manually?

thanks
[HTC One S] azenra:
I've used the superboot from modaco and my phone is working just fine :laugh:

dont know any other method for the S3 for now :(
[HTC One S] qzem:
Where did you hear that it is not safe? Maybe you have read the warrinig that says that, but this warring is present with all the hacks. I would say that there is 0,001% chance that something goes wrong with super boot, since it doesn't actually flash rooted kernel, it only fastboot's it and enable you to root the phone.

On the other note:

Does any one here knows any foreign site (like chines or other Asian site), where some development might go on for One S with S3 processor. Since Asain market was the first with this type of One S. Maybe we can get there some custom roms.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
I've done some Googling around for "HTC Z560e ROM" and found one or two Chinese forum posts where custom ROMs based on TrickDroid were posted, with additional customizations to suit Chinese users' needs.

Also we need to consider that any custom ROMs we find in the future are likely to be based on the Asian or Chinese RUU/OTA and might not be fully compatible, although the fact that they have TrickDroid based ROMs going around suggests this might not be a major issue.
[HTC One S] qzem:
I don't care much of a region base until the rom includes english version. The main thing is that you have proper radio (baseband) for your region,and custom rom doesn't include the radio,but other things should on any one s c2 phone.
[HTC One S] joni_strokes:
yeah i've actually tried the superboot, and works fine, but it just didn't right, i want to try for rooted manually, thanks for your info anyway,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427 (in this post, i've tried using r2- modaco cwm, but after i boot using recovery, it just stuck on the white screen which is shows the red message "this build is for development only bla bla bla")

that's why i'm a little bit frustrated, why other phone works, but mine wasn't.
[HTC One S] qzem:
The link you've provided is for One S S4.
[HTC One S] clewis:
I have just been on the phone with HTC for about half hour about the sense 4.1 update. They said to me "It does not change anything that you have a different HTC One S model, All One S models will receive this update" And then i said okay but how come the s4 models have only got the update atm and they said the s4 models are probably the first batch to receive the update and expect to see the update for your model in the next few days to a few weeks.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
OK, I'll be holding them to that.

I also asked for information on updates as condition for accepting an S3 replacement for my S4 One S (they did try very hard to obtain one for me) and they confirmed that the Jelly Bean update will come also.

HTC have created a bit of a problem for themselves in having one extra distinct hardware platform to prepare ROM updates for, although the production of the S3 One S has been a big blessing for the Sensation owners, as evidenced by the ROMs on that forum.
[HTC One S] Wyall:
few days would be great, few weeks would be definitely to much time in this case. But I can't change anything *wait*
[HTC One S] qzem:
Some time ago I've asked to developers if they could port HTC Sensation kernel to our phone I didn't get any response but i don't care there are other developers there too. Since HTC sensation is also using S3 processor (only lower frequency) and since they have ported our ICS rom to their phone, maybe someone could try to port some rom from sesnation to our phone. They have CM9 and I belive CM10 is on the way. THings could go vice versa :). Is anybody interestd to bug them a little bit :)?
[HTC One S] joni_strokes:
thanks for your help, and now my phone is already using custom rom from Trickdroid, which is v1.0.0 C2,

does anyone find another alternative rom for S3?

solution

Hi Everybody :)

I have one solution for you who still dont have recovery (and finaly root) for your S3 or willec2 htc one S

download and install this app from store: GooManager

then in right bottom corner in settings click on Install OpenRecoveryScript and you are done.

This app shoud download and install correct recovery for ours One S with S3. But in my phone it only dowload correct recovery. I think it is no problem because recovery is on SD card so everybody who reed this post is able to flasth this recovery with cmd.

Good Luck

I am now rooted :)

any news fors tweaks for S3 / C2 ?

best regards ....
[HTC One S] Wyall:
You should better ask in the Trickdroid Thread. The Tweak Package is not provided by torxx. The guy who made them now makes the Viper ROM and puts all his time in that project i guess. But the Trickdroid Thread is the best place to ask. I think the question was answered there, too
[HTC One S] septamobile:
thanks for reply

you are right but i have not enough posts to post in development threads, we need developer who port S4 roms to S3.

but who will do it? i'm not enabled to to it or i need a howto what should to do to port S4 roms to S3.

i think the time will help, maybe in near future we will get what we expecting.
[HTC One S] raikesy:
You could just make your own 1% battery using the UOT kitchen....

http://uot.dakra.lt/
[HTC One S] Wyall:
You can't simply port a ROM. Because of the different CPUs, the One S Version are quite different. The S3 is quite near to the sensation, that's why they could port the One S S3 stuff to their phone.

There may be a Viper version for the S3 Model if HTC finally could release a update so that both one S Version have the same base. But until now, we are on 4.0.3 and the S4 has android 4.0.4 with a newer sense version.
[HTC One S] septamobile:
this sound really great, thanks to all for reply

(which files i do upload in the kitchen to create a flashable zip file? All three framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, com.htc.resources.apk?

for my moto defy i needed to upload only one Androidian.apk)

thanks for answer
[HTC One S] torxx:
UOT kitchen does not work with sense 4.0/4.1 yet.

I will work on Viper ROM for S3 tonight but I can't promise anything

ok, that the reason why the kitchen give me no file to download (UOT-09-06-20-13-1 error) hahaha

thanks a million to look in to S3 units, i'm awaiting nothing but i think, i and a few more people will be very happy with what you will do.

if i can help, tell me how.
[HTC One S] torxx:
Actually there are way to less people with S3 processor and they are not really thankful.

Don't know if it is worth it
[HTC One S] septamobile:
give me scripts, howtos or what ever you need to get a tweakable / modable S3 rom (or tweaks / mods for TrickDroid C2)

maybe i speak only for me but i think really, that the most of the S3/C2 users will be very thankfull for the first tweakable / modable S3 rom.
[HTC One S] mrepovz:
Agree. I have a filling that we are just being quiet like mouses and waiting don't want to bother devs too much so they have time to develope.

Regarding the amount of S3-it is more and more that only S3 are being sold so more and more people will have S3 and demand for S3 ROM is growing.

I was already looking on tutorials for ROM modifying but since I have electronic background and very little knowledge in programing... I don't want to brick my phone.

If any dev has time please make tweaks for S3 (e.g. gor TD)

[HTC One S] shwick:
Not thankful? Hell, i'll name my firstborn after you.

But in all seriousness, it looks like the people with S3's are a minority, but their numbers are starting to grow. I wasn't going to bug people about porting stuff to S3, because i'm thinking that as our numbers grow, the work being done for it would naturally increase as well. Also., i don't feel like bugging people to work on something they probably don't own themselves.

Porting Viper to the S3 would be incredibly awesome though, and possibly an entry way into more work on it.
