Do you know if this 2.21 update solved "home button issue"?

Thanks

Didn't know there was one. I've never had one.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
hahaha lol then check the home button issue thread in the q&a forum...

If you haven't got it thank God for he spared you from his vengeance... It is an evil little bug and HTC had been promising a fix since 3 month now.

To answer the question from the dude above: HTC begins to claim now that the 2.21 base will fix it, but it has already been confirmed that it does not.

It betters it considerably though. So if you suffer from the home button issue, best thing you can do at the moment is flash the update and hope the best...

[HTC One S] phositadc:
You said you did this to the international 4.0.4 RUU update. But I thought the international One S did not suffer from the app associations/linking problem that the TMOUS version suffers from. I thought international-based roms (including this 4.0.4 update) would allow you to open links with the correct app by default.

So it would seem that this process of deleting HTCLinkify and modifying the ro.da1 lines would be unnecessary.

Thoughts? Can anybody confirm whether the stock 4.0.4 RUU by default properly allows links (i.e., youtube, playstore) to be opened in the app rather than in the browser?
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
Did HTC tuurn off the GLONASS support in 2.21.401.10? My HOS no longer sees 22 satelites but merely 12 and none of them go up in the >65 range and it does take a while for it to get a fix to the satelites...
[HTC One S] kaiser347:
If be honest I did not check app associations befor modifying build.prop. I just saw HTCLinkify in system apps and deleted it, knowing the issue from T-Mobile ROM I came into conclusion that there should be the same problem.

[HTC One S] phositadc:
Ah OK can anybody else running the 2.21 ruu confirm whether it has the app associations problem? It was my understanding that international Roms didn't have the problem.

Did anybody update to 2.21 by flashing the TWRP nandroid restore posted back on page 25?

I have a TMOUS One S arriving tomorrow. It will probably have 1.53 installed by default with an hboot lower than 1.13. I am thinking I want to keep the hboot lower than 1.13. So rather than doing SuperCID and running the 2.21 RUU, I am planning to manually flash the radio and the TWRP 2.21 nandroid restore. That way I will be on 2.21 + latest radio, but I will still have older hboot.

Anybody else done this? Any problems with this plan? Any reason I should actually want to update hboot to 1.13 and do the full RUU install instead of the TWRP restore?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
I ran the 2.21 RUU, reunlocked, and rooted stock RUU, with a few build.prop edits. Haven't had a problem with my setup and have had the fastest DL speeds I've ever had.

Hi. What do you think, when will the sense 4.1 update come out? Because the One X already has it. In some weeks, months?

Gesendet von meinem HTC One S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] phositadc:
Yeah, doing SuperCID then running the 2.21 RUU is one option. But I was asking if anybody had run the 2.21 TWRP recovery file that was posted on page 25 of this thread. Seems like if I install that and also TWRP flash the radio, instead of the installing the full RUU, then I will get to keep my hboot at 1.09 or whatever rather than bumping it up to 1.13.

I'm trying to figure out if there is any downside to installing 2.21 that way instead of via the RUU.

BTW, what build.prop mods did you make? ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14 changed to ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24? I understand that lets the phone take full advantage of HSPA+ 42mbps. Anything else?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
The only reason I ran the RUU was to get what ever firmware was in it since right now all we can flash was radio. As for build.prop edits it was just that.

Same message when trying to install OTA on T-Mobile USA HTC ONE S

When I first ran RUU file of "RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2" and installed it without problems. After installation completed, I checked for an update and the OTA was there, but couln't install because of the same message as you had. So I grabbed newer RUU file from this thread and ran it. I hope I will be able to get future updates and won't have any strange messages. By the way, I am on SuperCID.
[HTC One S] phositadc:
So you manually ran the 1.78 ruu and after that you manually ran the 2.21 ruu and that worked fine?

By the way do you have to be in recovery mode when you start running the ruu exe from your computer? Or are you supposed to just be booted fully into android?

Sorry for the OT but I have a simple question - why is this in Q&A?

[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Good idea to keep the older hboot.

I haven't tried that TWRP nandroid, nor the thing I'm going to suggest:

Unzip the rom.zip from the RUU

Flash the boot image from fastboot, then go to recovery

dd the 3 radio images

and the system image

(system = mmcblk0p33)

(optionally flash super su)

Format your data and cache partitions

Reboot, cross fingers

Again, I have not tried this myself, but it is safe in that it does not touch your hboot or recovery.
[HTC One S] phositadc:
I might try the twrp nandroid first. Flashing a nandroid does not require a boot.img, correct? Thanks

Also, what exactly is the system image? I assume that if I never flash an ruu and just flash this twrp nandroid, my system image would never get updated? Is that bad?

Edit: one last question. Flashing a TWRP can't brick the phone, right? Worst that can happen is that phone won't boot, so I go back into recovery and flash my other nandroid backup?
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Since you have an old hboot and use twrp, there is a good chance it will flash the boot image for you. If not, flash it from fastboot.

The boot image contains a ramdisk with a root filesystem and a kernel.

The system image contains the android OS. It is normally read-only.

The data partition contains user apps and user data. The RUU has no data image since it doesnt install user apps or data. This is why I suggested to format the data partition.

A nandroid backup contains boot, system and data images. If you restore a nandroid, it does restore the system image as well. It does not contain radio images.
[HTC One S] Charkatak:
You can be in bootloader prior to starting RUU file or be in the Android normally and I tried both ways, they all work the same way. When I ran 1.78 RUU, I thounght that I would be able to apply OTA, but since it didn't work and just ran 2.21 and updated. I am waiting for some updates from HTC to see if I will be able to get future OTA updates.
[HTC One S] phositadc:
Awesome info, thanks. A couple more follow ups... 1. How do I know if the boot.IMG flashed with the twrp nandroid? 2. If it doesn't flash with the nandroid, where can I extract it from to flash manually?

Thanks again!
[HTC One S] rootrider:
The kernel can't be flashed by either cwm nor TWRP. It needs to be flashed separately by fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

If you downloaded the nandroid backup I gave you the link for, you'll need to flash the appropriate boot.img. Just download boot.img from here. torxxs kernel is the same as in the RUU file, as his rom is based upon 2.21.

[HTC One S] will1987:
Well it is different to the SIM card being locked, but worse case it will show an error, you cannot do anything wrong with the RUU. You literally download the latest RUU (check back through this thread or the Shipped ROMs thread in the dev section) which is an exe that you run and follow what it says on the screen. It will wipe the system and data partition so you will have to set it up again, but it won't delete your music, photos etc...

[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Hi,

Need some advice please.

I would like to return to stock on my One s, mainly because I would prefer not to keep having to flash new roms to stay up to date and would like to just use the OTA update to get future updates automatically.

I bought the phone second hand, it was already rooted etc running stock rom. But I then installed trickdroid 7.1 and updated the radio to the new one. I found out it was originally on orange uk because my CID is ORANGE_001 or something like that. I can't find an orange uk ruu, but probably wouldn't install it anyway as I would prefer to be unbranded. If I use superCID and run the Europe ruu and leave the bootloader locked would I then automatically receive future OTA updates? Or should I change my CID to HTC_002 (Europe CID) to get the updates? would this HTC_002 CID work to install 1.78 Europe rom first before I do the OTA update to get to 4.04? I'm not really bothered about keeping root, my hboot is 1.06 if that makes a difference. Also, my phone was bought unlocked because I use a 3 network uk sim in it, would any of this process carrier lock my phone back to orange? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've got an unlocked european S4 which I'm trying to update. It's got cid HTC__001 which I think is the european sim-free carrier ID, yet I can't find the OTA update to 2.21 through the check update. It's currently running 1.78.401.2, on Orange and everything is stock (so HBOOT = 1.13, radio = 0.16). The most perplexing bit is that I've downloaded the OTA update zip, renamed it to update.zip and put it in /sdcard yet when rebooting into (stock) recovery it gives an error message saying "E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)". When I select apply update from internal storage or external storage it gives the same error message.

--Invalid Operation. --

success rebooting by reason: oem-00

Any ideas what I need to do to persuade it to take the update? Or should I just put the RUU for 2.21 on it and redownload my stuff? (I've cleared the cache partition in recovery before trying this as well, it made no difference).

So, it is not installing. I heard that it might be trouble when you got youres locked, so I re-locked mine using the "All-In-One-Kit" from here. Still the behaviour is unchanged.

Anyone any idea what I could try to make it install?
