[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Ok,

so what you guys are basically saying is, that when i unlock my phone thru HTC-Dev, the company knows about it.

From this point of view, it's better to downgrade hboot and S-OFF.

I have one more question - if original ICS for DS will be realeased, how can i install it ? Do i have to revert to original hboot and original sense rom to find the update and install then ?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
You'll find it here ...
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Finally i temprooted this way

Zergush & misc - to temp root and prepare phone to be downgrade

Downgrade to RUU with 0.98.0000

S-OFF & install ClockWorkMod Recovery

Install Cyanogen 7.2

As rom i chose Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. I am unexperienced with custom roms and dont want to be disappointed by semi-functional ICS roms by now.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
If you're going for gingerbread take a look at reaper as well. It's basically a much faster version of CM7
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
For now, i am going to stick with ginger till the kernel will be released and the roms fully functional.

In future i would like to test ICS roms, but after new kernel. And of course Jelly Bean, if someone port it.

Basically if i want to change ROM, i just put it in root of SDcard, boot revolutionary, wipe and install from ZIP ? Is that simple now, after S-OFF ?

Thanx for the tip to check out reaper, btw ;)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yep that's all you need to do. I have to say though don't be afraid to just make a backup of your current ROM in CWM and try out other things.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Dan-fish, thanks for all your help ;)

But i have one more question. What is all that mess around eMMC chip ? How can it happen to me ? Often flashing, installing from zip or ?
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
No the most common reason is pulling the battery out while the phone is on.

Dear remusator..

I'm trying downgrade hboot from 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 but I could not.

Can you explane how you make downgrade?

My device is "UNLOCKED"

Hboot - 2.00.0002

RADIO - 3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC - boot

Thanks..
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Mine was locked. Check the first post. I didn't unlock via htc dev, maybe that's the problem.

I followed these tutorials :

1, Downgrade ruu and hboot to make root possible

sw 2.11>=http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443636

2, S-OFF

section How To: S-Off your device with Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool (For HBOOT 0.98.0000, 0.98.0002)

3, Choose rom you like and flash via recovery. First i tried was cyanogenmod 7,2. Then i made backup, wiped again and installed AOKP. I'm not going back :))

While browsing forums, i found topic about downgrading while UNLOCKED. Search forums, i can't find it anymore.

Btw, check your software version - tutorials differ from sw version.

PS: don't be afraid. In my case, everything went just fine.

Stock Rom needed

Hi remusator, which stock ROM did you use?

I'm mostly finding a lot of dead links and very few live ones for stock Desire S Roms.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
I have used quite - Fallout / AOKP / Cyanogen 7.2

But i returned back to Stock. I used pre-rooted. I don't need root at the moment, but the prerooted rom can run on custom bootloader.

I use 2.10.401.9 sw version, take a look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480576

Before root my official rom was 2.10.401.8 - but the link here on forum is dead, so i decided to use newer 2.10.401.9 instead. I haven't found any bug yet. It seems to work fine.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
2.10.401.9 contains a minor bugfix for the Russian region. I doubt that you will notice any significant difference compared to 2.10.401.8

I was reading through the threads and saw a few comments from members who said the stock Samsung charger is not that good

This is my first experience with a Samsung Galaxy phone so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good USB Cable

I've already experienced some issues that may be USB Cable related. Some files I transferred through FTP would not complete. It showed up while the phone was charged but when I unplug it the file disappeared (on internal storage)

So if anyone could possibly suggest a good cable, preferably with a link to purchase , I would greatly appreciate it thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
I don't think its related to the cable. Its just the crappy windows MTP.

I am personally planning to purchase this looks damn cool :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JZR:
Honestly, the best USB cables I've used were Amazon Basics. They're very well built and inexpensive. One of the cables I ordered didn't quite fit right, and they shipped a replacement, no questions asked.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Now that does look pretty cool lol! Thanks for the link. When I get home I'll check and see if it's compatible with the Sprint SGSIII

Yea I actually bought a few from amazon for my NS4G. and yea they were good but also quite short.

I'll keep browsing. I know at Sprint they have cables for like 20 bucks where you can get one on Amazon for 3-5
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
No problem man.

Actually I just purchased the black one instead of white :P

Here is a thread that might help if you need to ask any question EZOpower

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sleestax:
Whether or not the Samsung cable is sub-par, you are going to want a better charger. You'll want at least a 2 amp charger (Amazon basics has a decent 2.1 amp one).

$2 cables from amazon have always worked for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Yea I've gotten a couple of those in the past. My only issue with those are that they are way too short.

yes very true, always like to have a couple of backups just in case

Hey thank you for the link! Have you used this on the SGSIII yet? If so how was it?

Yea they work. Again, I just find them too short.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiggytom:
I would not get this cable...the MicroUSB connector sucks. I had it for 2 days and its already loose (don't think it was ever good) and it disconnects depending when you move it slightly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Wow thank you for the input! It does look pretty cool tho lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Hey guys, so admittily I don't know much about this stuff

I found this cable and it looks good, durable and has gotten some great reviews

Do you think this is a good buy? I'm going to contact the seller to make sure it's compatible with our devices

Any input is appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] F_L_Abs:
Thanks for the link! Ordered a bunch for home and work. Lol

Just about the same price for generic chargers, so for OEM 2amps, why not!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] princeendo:
I used this charger last night on my GS3 with the old cable from my Droid Charge (which appears to be nearly identical). Seems fine. Charge was decently quick, and there wasn't excess heat at the connector or with the device at large.

My only complaint with the included TouchPad cable is that it "hangs" upon removal, whereas the Samsung charging cable feels a lot smoother going into and out of the port.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bldkcstark:
OMG! I ordered two Chinese chargers from Ebay that don't work right, and I paid $6 each for them!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Yea I think I'm gunna give that one a go
[Galaxy S III Accessories] theroyalwe:
I haven't had any problems with the HP cable that came with mine but I've also not tried all of the ones that I bought (I got 4) so I'll have to check them and report back if they are hanging.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiannichan:
I bought a bunch of these when I had my Captivate and SGS2...

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Data-...55094&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+captivate+cable

Looks OEM and it works as good. I have about 6 of them that I keep around the house, backpack and at work. Will be ordering a few of the HP Touchpad wall plugs as well since the price is pretty cheap.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
I have a few of those cables and they never work. For some reason they charge but cannot be used to transfer data or root a phone. I also end up using one and not realizing it every single time!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jiannichan:
That's weird. Each and every single one I have, I've used for rooting, transferring data, ODIN etc and they have worked perfect. I ordered a couple for a friend not long ago and she is happy with it. I can't even tell which one is OEM or the ones I ordered, I just grab them and use it. Side by side, all the markings and stickers are almost alike, just the one is white while the other is black inside the USB terminal. I don't remember which one is the original one....lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] princeendo:
Interesting. I've tried 3 now, all with the same problem. They aren't super bad, it just makes you feel like you have to be a lot more careful or you're going to damage something.

I actually had one of the cables die on me, unexpectedly. But, the charger is the real gem, anyway.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaisaroni:

im using ARHD 6.6.7 XE

i hope someone can help me

Happened to me once on ARHD 6.6.1 - I managed to do it by deleting all contacts (wiping contact storage data in settings/apps) and re-installing FB app - then synced from scratch again.
[HTC Sensation] BshadoW1:
so u suggest ill uninstalled facebook and delete contact storage and start again?
[HTC Sensation] phylosoph:
Clear facebook application data and log in again, when it asks you about sync. Choose the one that is on the middle. I believe it says sync only existing contacts. Then wait for it to do it's job.

3rd party apps won't use that photo, if you want it to use them install photo unlocker. You need root access to use that.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
The binary would be the files that are updated from the superuser app.

If you do the OTA update, I believe you lose root, not too sure with that one.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Yeah, the binary is updated from the app. find it in the options menu. It is not suggested to run the OTA update, you will lose root and if the update comes with a bootloader you will lose S-OFF as well. As far as I know, the ICS OTA will patch all known exploits, so you won´t be able to be S-OFF until a new method is found. Just flash the ICS update as a custom rom and you will be fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomajr:
Thanks you guys for ur response. But lets go back a bit.

In my initial post, i put the info i got from the phone. Now, what does ***Locked (OOW) *** and "IMAGE CRC" mean?

Secondly, is the phone rooted?

Thirdly, i have installed the superuser and read a bit on it and what i seem to understand is that with the superuser app, i can grant root access to apps i want to install that needs root access permission.

But the thing is, i do not see the apps already installed on the phone in the superusers list. Which still brings me to my question which is how do i remove the apps that came bundled with orange that i do not need?

One thing i think i should mention is that when i got the phone, it was using an older android version. and by then i did not know anything on rooting os s-off. I saw that a friend of mine, who also got the same model of the phone, had upgraded to the version 2.3.5. So i also upgraded.

but i think that meant that the phone was already s-off before the upgrade and it still remained s-off after the upgrade. I dont know if it was rooted or not. And if it was rooted before the upgrade, is it still rooted?

I have issues with the navigation after the app was updated with the 3D thing. The app keeps launching on its own and drains my battery. Is this as a result of the whole s-off rooting thing?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Have u rebooted the phone? make sure that after updating the binary you reboot the phone. If SU is not working, then try using SuperSU from play store...to check root access or u open an app that requires that or install terminal emulator and type there.....it will prompt u if you were granted SU access or not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ41:
I have figured out a work-around for the auto pairing failure. I will give a step by step workaround how I did it. In my situation, I have a Mazda CX-5 and a Samsung Galaxy S3. But I am confident, that it will work with all Android 4.0.4 versions and other carkits, because the problem is most likely the same issue.

The reason why the phone won't auto pair, is because the phone does not give your carkit permission to download call history and other data. Even if you granted the phone this permission with the initial pairing.

If you have a carkit that supports multiple bluetooth profiles (multiple phones), like my Mazda CX-5 does, then you can also have your phonebook downloaded to your car. If your carkit supports multiple profiles, start with step 1. If yours doesn't, start with step 7. This guide is specifically for the Mazda CX-5, so some steps may be (slightly) different for your car model or make.

Here is the step by step guide:

1. Make sure you have no existing bluetooth pairs. Clear all pairs in your carkit and your phone.

2. Pair the phone with your carkit. You can see the randomly generated code on your phone and on the car display. Press ok to pair. (other carkits may need you to input "0000" or "1234", or maybe you have to input a code yourself)

3. Your phone will ask 2 questions about permissions. Check the box and allow. The phone will start to sync.

4. You carkit is done with syncing and it will ask you if you want to download your phonebook. Do this.

5. When its done copying, clear the Bluetooth pair on your phone (not on the Carkit!)

6. Give your phone a different Bluetooth name

7. In your carkit choose to pair a new phone (with the new name you just entered).

8. When the phone asks for permission for the carkit, check the box and choose cancel. Do this for both questions.

You don't have to copy your phonebook again (you can't anyway because you denied permission), but the phonebook that was downloaded earlier will still be available. Now the phone will pair automatically! With this trick you have your phonebook and automatic pairing.

I haven't seen what this does for media-audio streaming. I don't use that, but I can image that it doesn't work, because of the denied permissions.

There is another downside to this though (there always is, isn't it?). You cannot update your phonebook easily. If you want to update your phonebook, repeat the whole procedure.

I hope this will work for other people with different phones and cars too. At least this is a workaround until Google/Samsung comes with a fix. Please let us know if this works in your situation. To keep things structured, please use this format:
