S-Off needed?

Hi,

I have followed the instructions as below.

1. Flashed with Stock .img file. For removing CWM.

2. Unrooted phone.

3. Locked the bootloader.

In bootloader i can see warning as ***SECURITY WARNING*** and also after selecting Recovery the phone is again reloading the bootloader with security warning. Not able to select the ZIP file. Also i havent installed any custom ROM before.

I have downloaded OTA and saved it in root of SDcard.

Please help!!!:(

Currently S-ON.

Do we need to S-OFF before applying update manually?

On HTC Sensation XE with Stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
Are you running a custom ROM?

The "security warning" usually comes if you're running a custom ROM or a custom recovery.

I'm currently running Elegancia (ICS) but I want to flash the radio from this. Is it possible, and safe, to do that?
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
What changes, it will be available in EMEA?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Follow all the instructions in the order that they are stated.

It is important that you format all partitions except SD card from recovery & restore backup of system from gingerbread if you flashed a custom ROM.

If you didn't, just unlock your bootloader again & flash the recovery again.

How can I do the recovery & restore backup?? Using CWM?

Please help... Comple noob here... :)
[HTC Sensation] nvnsh20:
I flashed my ROM with CWM recovery image. But again I flashed it to stock ROM before OTA.. still no luck... I guess device must be S-OFF...

Check the software number of your backup.

If Sensation XE it should be: 1.77.720.103

if Normal Sensation it should be: 1.52.720.3
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
I was running ARHD 6.6.7 ROM with the 3.32.401.5 firmware (unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com, rooted) so here's what I did prior to flashing the OTA update for ICS on my Sensation.

1. Search for the RUU for Asia_India, the one with the 1.52.720.3 firmware. This was the latest available software prior to ICS coming along. As stated by kgs above, you would need the RUU with the 1.77.720.103 firmware for your Sensation XE.

2. Run the executable, but do not proceed once it finishes extracting all files. Search for a file named 'rom.zip' in your local Temp folders.

3. Shut down phone and pull battery out.

4. Copy the file to the root of your SD card after having renamed it to PG58IMG.zip

5. Power up your phone into the bootloader by pressing the VOL DOWN button and the POWER button. The system should read and install the PG58IMG.zip file

6. When it asks you to reboot by pressing the POWER button, simply pull out the battery.

7. Delete the file named PG58IMG.zip from the SD card. Now copy the OTA file to the root of the SD card after having renamed it 'update.zip'.

8. Power up your phone into the bootloader by pressing the VOL DOWN button and the POWER button. Select the Recovery option and then press the VOL UP button and the POWER button. You should see a set of options including one to "apply update from sdcard". Select this option and choose the 'update.zip' file.

9. Wait for the OTA update to be applied, and then reboot as instructed.
[HTC Sensation] nvnsh20:
I have sensation xe, firmware 1.77. Where I can get the RUU for the same?? Can it be done by flashing the recovery.img file given by kgs??
[HTC Sensation] diosys:
Hi,

I am in the same boat as you are (running ARHD 6.6.7 on my sensation).

Any advantage of going back to the stock over ARHD ?
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
What kgs is suggesting is an alternative to what I did to get back to stock. The advantage here is you dont need to go through all the hassle of flashing a ROM in entirety just to apply an OTA update. You are only getting back to stock recovery.

What you would need to do is as follows:

1. Download adb tools for windows from here. Extract into a convenient location, like on your C: drive.

2. Save the 'recovery_signed.img' file to the folder where you extracted your adb tools.

3. Enable USB debugging on your phone. Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging

4. Connect your phone to your computer via USB in charging mode.

5. In the Windows command prompt, navigate to the folder where you extracted your adb tools. Type "adb devices" (without quotes) and hit enter. Your phone's serial number should be printed.

6. Type "adb reboot bootloader" and wait until your phone reboots into the bootloader.

7. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img" and wait for control to return. Screen output typically should print something like:

sending 'recovery' <1234 KB>... OKAY [1.234s]

writing 'recovery' <1234 KB>... OKAY [1.234s]

finished. total time: 12.345s

8. Type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and your phone should reboot. Screen output typically should print something like:

rebooting into bootloader... OKAY [1.234s]

finished. total time: 1.234s

At this point, your phone will be on fastboot with BOOTLOADER selected. Press the power button.

9. Select RECOVERY and press the power button. You should be taken to a screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark.

10. Press the volume up button and the power button. You should see a set of options including one to "apply update from sdcard". Select this option and choose the OTA update file (which should already be copied to the root folder on your sdcard).

To be honest, it was curiosity that drove me to check out stock ICS. There is no wow factor. I dont actually feel a difference in performance between ICS and GB, atleast on my phone.

I'll be backing up this ROM in a few days and experiment with Sense 4-based ROMs. I'll take a custom ROM any day. :)

[Error] Invalid operation - oem-00

Hi,

I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev for Custom ROM installation. Then i installed CWM by flashing the custom img file. Rooted the phone using SuperSU.

For the OTA update i have followed the following steps.

1. Flashed the stock image file given by kgs.

2. Unrooted the phone.

3. Copied the OTA file to SD and renamed it to update.zip.

4. Rebooted in bootloader mode. USB not connected.

5. Selected RECOVERY

6. Red ! came.

7. After pressing Vol+ and Power Menu came with error: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

8. Menu displayed:

a. Reboot system now.

b. Apply update from external storage

c. Wipe data/factory reset

d. Wipe cache partition.

e. apply update from cache

Selcted b. Apply update from external storage.

Then phone rebooted with following message.

Invalid operation. Rebooting with oem-00.

Can anyone help here pls?? :(

I am not able get where i missed.

Device Status: S-ON, Bootloader Unlocked, On stock ROM now.
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
Since your bootloader is unlocked you need to re lock it first by following the "fastboot oem lock" step.

Go through the steps again.
[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
See, this is where I'm really confused. I've unlocked the bootloader within days of purchasing my Sensation. I used the procedure at htcdev.com and then the Revolutionary method for gaining S-OFF. Since that time, I've gone through various custom GB ROMs, back to stock GB, then to various custom ICS ROMs and now back to stock ICS.

I've always had an unlocked bootloader on my phone and always been S-OFF. I'm curious - does unlocking the bootloader via htcdev.com make any difference?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
For anyone who is still having problems with the update, please follow the new instructions word for word.

I have uploaded backups for The /system required for the update.

Use that one because I can verify that it works.

No more PMs for backups please.
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
I'm no expert, but I have little knowledge I gained while trying to S-OFF after unlocking the bootloader with the HTCDev method.

S-OFF and unlocked bootloader are two different things. If you're S-OFF you don't need to lock/unlock bootloader for anything. But if your bootloader is unlocked, it needs to be re locked for some procedures, such as flashing official OTA zips.

There's a thread explaining the difference between them in a more technical manner somewhere. You can search for it if you wanna know more :)
[HTC Sensation] nvnsh20:
Thanks....

Finally installed ICS with S-OFF and and still with unlocked bootloader.

@kgs1992: Thanks a lot for helping throughout the installation :) :)

@ganeshhp: Thanks for clearing my doubts in middle... :)

@arnieshwartz: Thanks for sharing your exp... :)

At last Thanks To XDA :D :D

[HTC Sensation] arnieshwartz:
YEAH!!! Good to know it all worked out for you. :) So, what did you do, flash the RUU and then the OTA? It's a constant learning process, so please let me know.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
S-OFF & then flashed it.

The OP has been updated with instructions.

I had to go back S-ON to verify that.
[HTC Sensation] jiteshg:
Thanks :)

The guide is precise, plus easy to follow. Thanks for the back-up, bookmarked the thread.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Just be very careful about the S On & S Off points.

I have confirmed that the recovery will not let you flash an update from SD unless you are S Off.

Also, I'd recommend S Off before update if you don't wanna use JuopunutBear later.

This is a "Moral Down" Act, trying over and over again, i get the same thing. Too, i must tell, i tried ruu and the trick suggested by the good man on page 3, with no outcome successful.

The backup trick too is tried already.

Any trick or walkthro' with low bandwidth consumption is heavenly.

All he have to do is call Samsung and they will replace it you have a year factory warranty as long as theres no physical damage. They send the phone fast. I did it four times already don't waste your time looking for solution just tell them it won't boot just turned off and won't start that's all i said. You don't have to have insurance either.

I used to have an Epic 4G Touch and yesterday accidentally flashed a kernel for it on my S3. I was left with a beautiful pebble blue coffee table piece. I started to freak out because I couldn't power on or anything. Long story short, I purchased my phone less than 14 days ago so I took it back to the store. The technician took a look at it, couldn't power it on and they gave me a replacement phone, no questions asked!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
I promise if you hard bricked hell or even soft bricked you can get it exchanged from Samsung as long as it's been less than a year and no water damage or cracked screen .I really think they don't look into all the rooting stuff they just install new software in the phone and send it right back out to someone else which works for me.

If you go threw your carrier avoid it they ask to much question call Samsung and i sware they will send you a new or refurbished phone but a working one and that's all you can ask for and i didn't pay a dime the box they send you to send your phone is prepaid by them i just put my bricked phone in there then dropped it off to ups. I will say this two times i wasn't at home and ups left the damn phone in the box right on my door step than goodness no one stole it.

You should really do some searching - the search function will be your best friend. Assuming you are rooted and have a custom recovery installed, I would recommend installing AOKP from this thread and giving it a try.

Again, I would do some searching and READ A LOT. Not everyone is kind when it comes to random posts spamming up the forums.

:laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ginryu:
Well aokp it's a really good rom but you should take into account the fack that the camera it's not working on any ics rom at the moment.

As for your question about the apps i find out that the best way it's to make a cwm back up and then using titanium back up pro (you have to spare some bucks) restore the apps + data that i want from the back up. Also you can make the back up using the free version before flashing the new rom.

Cheers!

Hi all.... i have just moved from blackberry to the samsung glaxy s3....

I have a few questions regarding the contacts and the phone dialer....

1- is it somehow possible to customise the contacts view so that i can see the company name under the na.e of the contact without actually opening the contact..... this was a default thing on my blackberry n was extremely useful... i want the same to happen on android also.

2- in the phone application also i want to see the company name of the contact under the contact name.

3- i also want to see the company name in the call screen (incoming calls and outgoing calls)......

I have looked for an answer to this in these forums, google n lots of other places. I even rooted my phone to edit the contacts and the phone app, but since i have negligie knowledge of programming, was unsuccessful in that too....
