We should have android 4.1 and ban sense touhwiz and the alike as the slow down the updates. While sense may have a great weather program we can use go weather that does the.same thing. No need now for custom overlays expect for greed from Verizon and HTC. We need to be heard enough is enough with not.getting the.latest android version. We need.to.follow Microsoft and apple and how they update. After all how would you like to update your Rom faster then a year when its already yesterday news as a newer version was just announced.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
there's no we, i don't agree. look, you've been banned several times now and are in clear violation of XDA forum rules by creating multiple accounts. if you just voiced your opinion, others may disagree, but no big deal. trying to argue with everyone and press your short sighted ideas on them is a different story. you've repeatedly attempted to take threads here off topic with your opinions which others clearly don't share. you continually sight windows and apple updates to try and support your ideas. the problem is, this is an android forum, i don't care about apple, don't care about windows, and don't care what you think either. you obviously know nothing about the thunderbolt, android, or consumer electronics in general, or are just a relentless troll. i hope it's the former. you need to realize the fact that you're not wanted here.

Good question. Not sure what sense 4.0 has to offer, but im a sense guy and would like to find out.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
yeah, i'd really like to try sense 4 and see how it differs from the versions we have available for myself, data or not. the idea of a more minimal sense meant as more of a compliment to the android OS than an overlay is intriguing.

[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
First, you can get a pretty good look at Sense 4.x w/o having it on your phone, there are several reviews with video on the internet.

Here's one, Google will find more I'm sure.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-sense-4-0-review/

Second and more important (sorry to repeat what everyone already knows), ICS is the operating system, Sense is HTC's UI.

When the T'Bolt gets ICS it will almost certainly get Sense 3.x and, as a result, ICS will look VERY much like the current OS.

Sense 4.x may or may not be along later.....
[Thunderbolt General] JGoldz75:
I would love to see Sense on the TB, but im crossing my fingers for ICS soon!
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
Yeah, I've read all about it, and now the article you linked too. Thanks for the read. I was more meaning that I wanted to actually use it. I'm aware of the difference between sense and the android OS, as most are, and doubt the bolt will see an official sense 4.0 release as ICS for the bolt is already slated to include sense 3.6. I'd still love to see a sense 4 port though.

Thanks guys. I truly believe that the Thunderbolt still has a lot of life left in her. I have looked into the newer phones but none feel as good in my hand as this does. Such a well made device. I'm sticking with it for a while....and waiting for what is to come.

Yeah, I want more real estate... Maybe wait for Galaxy Note II or HTC One XXL... Time 4 a phablet
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:

[HTC Desire S] Forcefire:
try reading this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1728513

some ideas you can try
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You forgot to downgrade misc_version before restoring to stock.

Now, you have one of 2 options:

1) If your HBOOT is modified - you can fastboot flash recovery, connect by ADB, execute misc_version script in recovery (that step saves you ROM installation) to downgrade main version, and then execute RUU again.

2) If your HBOOT is stock and you can't do anything - you'll have to unlock it the HTC way, after unlock - execute all the above (including relocking the bootloader after main version is downgraded).
[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
Finally it solved, I manage to found firmware with main version bigger than mine, flash it, unlock via htc dev, install recovery, change version, and return to stock successfully.

Thank you very much.

[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
Since your hboot already using 2+, you can do following steps:

1. unlock your bootloader using htc dev

2. after unlocked, install recovery

3. go to recovery you've previous installed then connect usb and change misc version via adb

4. relock again the bootloader

5. then you can install the RUU

Hope this help.
[HTC Desire S] kisame d shark:
unlock bootloader

i have already unlocked my bootloader but every time i try to change my misc version my usb can't be recognized and i cant install any recovery to my device for some reason it keeps saying image fail or it flashes the image then i try to enter recovery mode then it just boots up to the htc logo and don't go into recovery

EDIT - Manager to open the thread by right click (Copy link address) and paste into google, The link is for the Chinese OTA, Can you confirm that this works OK and is all in English

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
It doesn't. At least in my case.

I had to add my cid to make it loadable but that's about it:

Loading .. [PG88IMG.zip]

Checking .. [PG88IMG.zip]

Then it returns to Fastboot menu again with nothing changed!
[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
Hi Ahmed,

What is the version of your hboot? is it already 2.00+? if it is you can just unlock via htc dev to flash the recovery. No need to flash the firmware
[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
IMO is that you dont need to flash the firmware, since you already said that you've already unlock the bootloader. I did flash the firmware because i want to unlock my bootloader.

I download this recovery image www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip, I flash this image in fastboot and the recovery installed successfully, maybe you can try it also.

after that you can install tacoroot for temporary root and misc version your device image version, then you can install ruu afterward.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
My problem is complex. Hboot is 0.98.0002 so i can't use HTCDev to unlock. At the same time adb is not working so i can't s-off. RUUs of 2.x or 1.x do not work either as latest image was 3.x .

I think i need to upgrade Hboot (somehow) to enable HTCdev Unlock then downgrade and s-off. That may require RUU > 3.x ... and it must be RUU not OTA or update package.
[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
My case was the same as yours thats why i flash the firmware so i can unlock my bootloader. But you are not able to flash from chinese ota i gave you earlier?
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
At first i wasn't able to. Then i edited android-info.txt inside firmware.zip to fake it to support middle east. But it just load and check without asking for apply!
[HTC Desire S] hansgregory:
Can you try using gold card rather than to fake it? Maybe you cannot just edit that file to fake it. I was borrowing my friend's android phone to create goldcard for my sdcard.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
I'll do the same ... i'll borrow a friend's android phone and try to make my gold card .... wish me luck!
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Alright, a bit of advance. I successfully made a goldcard and used it to flash the firmware.zip after renaming to PG88IMG.zip. I too was able to use HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. I flashed 4ext recovery but can't downgrade by misc version (as i'm not root) and can't use TacoRoot to have a temp root. I sent the sh file to the phone and ran it but it did nothing.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Unlock the bootloader.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (and make sure you're doing it right - if it doesn't succeed, read the guides and see where you're failing to do it right, because it's not the phone).

Flash any ROM from recovery.

Flash boot.img of the ROM through fastboot, in the same way as flashed recovery.

Boot into ROM.

If you want S-OFF:

Copy and run misc_version script in Terminal Emulator, if you can't set up ADB.

Flash an old RUU.

S-OFF with Revolutionary.

All the steps above are listed in the available guides. Knowing what the step is called should allow you to search and find the answers.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Thank you ... all was OK but the step to flash boot.img. Now I was able to boot the custom ROM successfully and Rooted.

I don't know why would i need S-OFF? maybe to forget about bootloader and flash ROMs without the need for flashing boot separately??

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Special thanks to hansgregory, without his help i wouldn't have fix my phone.

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
You might want S-OFF to be able to flash custom ROMs without the extra manual boot.img flashing step, and to be able to flash radios. If both of those factors aren't important - then no need for extra steps.
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Hmm .. now the fun comes again ..

All i know is that i have to unlock & relock using HTCDev before trying to downgrade using misc_version. When i relock the bootloader i get this:

**Relocked**

**Security Warning**

And then i get no access to recovery and the current ROM isn't bootable. To get myself back online i had to unlock the bootloader again, then i found the installed ROM not booting anymore. So i had to wipe everything and install from scratch.

What's more i could do?

EDIT:

I fixed it. I used a custom ROM to make the steps for downgrade (the only way i could get adb working). Then i Relocked the bootloader and flashed the appropriate RUU. Now I'm on Stock and ready to S-OFF using revolutionary whenever i need to.

Thanks all,
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Excellent job. You did exactly what should have been done.

Have fun with all the endless possibilities of an S-OFF phone :) Don't forget to flash the re-engineered bootloader after you S-OFF, it's a good way to keep things under control (it's useful because it allows fastboot commands).
[HTC Desire S] scan6:
so what you do is:

***security warning***

s on

hboot0.98x

1.download the ics stock rom from china

2.extacted the firmware.zip

3.make a gold card

4.flash firmware(PG88IMG) via fastboot

5.unlock

6.flash custom recovery

7.flash any rom

8.flash boot.img via fastboot

9.relock

10.downgrade and get s-off

is it correct??:p
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Almost correct,

1.Download the ICS Chinese stock OTA update.

2.Extract the firmware.zip and rename to PG88IMG.zip.

3.Make a gold card.

4.Flash firmware(PG88IMG.zip) via fastboot.

5.Unlock via HTCDev.

6.Flash custom recovery (4ext is recommended).

7.Flash SuperUser to gain root (so you could use adb commands properly to downgrade later) .

8.Flash any ROM.

9.Flash boot.img (of the ROM) via fastboot.

10.Run the ROM and proceed the downgrade steps while inside ROM.

11.Relock (without that RUU install would fail).

12.Install the proper RUU.

13.S-OFF using revolutionary and flash SuperUser again in recovery to gain root access.

14.Recommended: Flash eng hboot for better control overall.

These are not really necessary. He will have root adb shell right after flashing 4ext. Just reboot to recovery connect to PC and type in cmd:

and you will see the root prompt #

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] ahmed_ais:
Trust me, for the problem i had this didn't work, I tried that and failed. I haven't had root access until i flashed SuperUser and a custom ROM.

And i think to have the command "su" works that way you have to be rooted at the first place. If not then there is no point of a temp-root access tool like Tacoroot.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The recovery comes with its own command binaries, su included.

But I never said your procedure is wrong. If misc version change in recovery fails he can always proceed according to your steps

Just a sidenote: the temp root tools like ZergRush and TacoRoot are intended for S-ON and locked devices which will not be the case here after using htcdev.com

The custom recovery is able to mount the system partition as writable which is called "root access"

lol thats not sonys fault, a USB plug can only give a very limited amount of power. your phone needs LOTS more than a USB will give it to charge fast. Charging from USB is alot slower than charging from a Wall Charger.

USB "Standard" is like 500ma or 900ma if you are using USB2/3

your charger will put out like 1500 - 1900ma depending on the charger.

I went to the nearest retail store today to ask if they knew when they would be getting the 32gb version - all they could guarantee is that they will have the 16gb on the 27th (which supports what the flagship store here told me last Thursday).

They said they haven't been sent a barcode or anything for the 32gb version yet and have no clue when it will actually launch.

Have you guys heard anything different from your local stores?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neotoky:
I doubt they will sell the 32gb in stores. It's a web only purchase though T-mobile website even though they are out of stock at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
Just got off the line with customer service and they said that the 32gb would be available sometime this week in the stores. No clue how accurate that is but she said they typically don't sell off-contract phones over the phone that is more than $350 and that the retail store is my best bet at getting the full retail phone. And she was aware I only wanted a 32gb and not the 16gb.

Edit:

Okay just called the one in three stores in Colorado that had them in stock (all sold out of course) and asked and the lady said it was a 50/50 of whether or not they would get them in for the 27th. She thought that they would only be sold online. Conflicting stories on both ends so who knows. Hopefully they will get them in stock.
