[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Wierd you can access recovery!!!

Well All I can say is that never try to downgrade from any ics rom to stock ginger bread rom without downgradin your misc version mate.And unfortunately, i think you have to wait for official stock ICS rom.
[HTC Desire S] WhatWouldJesusDo:
yea, very wierd, isn't it?

i tried to fake a misc-version downgrade via adb cmd and i was able to do it once, but it was still higher than the ruu version.
[HTC Desire S] UmairAhmad:
Actually I myself encountered this problem using exactly the same guide but somehow i was able to find the higher RUU which did the trick for me. Try to find some higher RUU.

Otherwise go for jtag or xtc clip if u can't wait..

BTW update is just around the corner if you dont want to apply hardware methods
[HTC Desire S] WhatWouldJesusDo:
that's great news! hope is rising :)

hardware fixes are no option for me, yet. the hole point is to get my phone replaced, so i don't want to eff around too much.

you probably don't know the ruu file anymore, do you?

thanks again.

I very much doubted that it will help even!!!!

Try to look out for OS 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 for your region...
[HTC Desire S] WhatWouldJesusDo:
somehow i managed to install a ruu with a miscversion downgrade.

i did the same thing "nenad_l" did here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604255

i appreciate your support umair! thank's a lot!

Dats nice to hear it
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Having unlocked the bootloader and having a functional custom recovery, all you had to do was to run misc_version script from recovery, reboot to bootloader, lock it and proceed with RUU flash. Nothing more.
[HTC Desire S] AndroGio:
Got your same problem. I was stuck at the bootloader because I had my desire s unlocked with HTCdev.com. Relocked it and flashed with a previous RUU like 1.47... it worked and then flashed hboot and radio...

I have't got any problems whith it and with my S-OFF-ed phone i can install any custom rom i want. It is worth it because custom roms make our Hero an actual phone even nowdays. I am running ICS right now (thanks to jordfaz). From what i know, the fastest rom for our Hero is this one but i wanted a more current one ;) Hero devs can make miracles !

Windows Phone 8 is going to be coming out for the 2012 Holiday Season according to Microsoft. What the New Crop of Windows Phone 8 Phones should have is a Physical QWERTY Keyboard.

For ALL of the People who Also Want a Physical QWERTY Keyboard, Please Post it here your Support for it.

[Windows Phone 8 General] Dark lord me:
I'm not a QWERTY kind of person but I agree there should be at least two WP phones with keyboards, one low end and one high end, even if they are the only ones for a year they will still be there for people to choose from
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
I miss having a physical keyboard, depending on the impact in size it has, I might jump for one, if the screen is at lease 4"
[Windows Phone 8 General] crav4speed:
After having a physical qwerty keyboard on my DVP for the past 18 months and not using it for the last 12 of those 18 months, I can safely say that I can definitely go without one on my next phone. The on-screen keyboard is really that wonderful to use when you get used to it. Not to mention the extra thickness and having a sliding mechanism that can take a beating that's required for hardware keyboards. The only thing that does suck is the screen space that you lose with an on-screen keyboard.

With that said, I'd like to see WP8 with multiple hardware options. Let the consumer decide!
[Windows Phone 8 General] cyanidekiller:
On screen is nice....
[Windows Phone 8 General] IM0001:
I would really go for another HTC Arrive (or a similar Nokia device). I love the HW keyboard and Sprint has carried a Qwerty based Windows Phone since the PPC6700. To stop now would be kind of sad.

The only problem will probably end up being, me staying with HTC for the QWERTY, or going Nokia for the PureView Camera.

I know the Onscreen Keyboard is dang good, and the addition of some 720P res + 4"+ screen would make a HW keyboard almost a non essential, but there really is no replacing a goood hardware keyboard when you have been using one for so long. I can still out type anyone I have come across with it. Swipe style keyboards help a lot, but are still not game changers in my use. Other people might say otherwise however so it is just my $.02 here.
[Windows Phone 8 General] petard:
I would totally buy a WP8 phone with a keyboard as long as it's high-end. I am sick of low-end keyboard devices.
[Windows Phone 8 General] gd761:
I know there are those of you that don't like the Physical Keyboard at all. But for ALL of us People that LOVE, WANT, & NEED the Physical QWERTY Keyboard. We are a LARGE part of the Market. Quite a few of us either don't ever go to any forums or even if those people do, they don't post anything. The reasons that we want the Physical Keyboards are these few examples that I have been told from other people that would just Hate to see the Physical Keyboard go away. When you start typing a long letter some times you don't even look at the keyboard because you know where the keys are, but if you accidentally hit more than one key at the same time, you can physically feel it. If you are typing on a smooth piece of glass, you have no idea that you have either hit the wrong key or two keys at the same time. Another reason is that when you use the Physical Keyboard, you get to see the FULL Screen and not just a Small Portion of it. Another reason is for the People that have LARGE Fingers. They have a very hard time typing on the Virtual Keyboard and Very Little to No Problem typing on the Physical QWERTY Keyboard. Every person is different and they have their own Personal feelings which Everyone is Entitled to. there will be some of the People that will refuse to upgrade their Phone for the Simple reason of that they can't get a Phone with a Physical Keyboard. There are other people that will change from Cell Phone Carrier to Cell Phone Carrier just so they can get a New Phone with a Physical Keyboard. For ALL of the Different Kinds of Reasons that These Kinds of People have, you can NOT change their mind at all no matter what you say or try to show them.

I am part of those Kinds of People myself. I have used both kinds of Cell Phones; Without any Keyboard and With a Physical QWERTY Keyboard. I don't like the phones without the Keyboard at all just for the simple fact that it has No Keyboard.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DavidinCT:
As I said, I agree as long as it's not large. For those people who dont care and dont think they should make them, think about this.

Could you fully type a email or a long text with out looking at your phone ? (dont say voice) I could type an entire email with being about 98% accurate while sitting at a meeting talking to people with my old Touch Pro 2, with my current Trophy, if I am not looking at the phone, I am making lots of errors.

There is something to be said for the value of a QWERTY keyboard...
[Windows Phone 8 General] Tesno:
I think WP8 will not support full landscape, for example on desktop. I also hope nokia would remake E7 on WP.
[Windows Phone 8 General] JVH3:
Bluetooth keyboards

Not sure if Windows Phone 8 will support it, but bluetooth keyboards are available for other platforms. (iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy 3 and guessing others)

I don't see any reason why it would not be possible for hardware manufactures to make bluetooth slideout keyboards that would clip to the phone.

If they did something like this, they could sell it as an option and not need to make extra models.
[Windows Phone 8 General] pizzaguy:
I have mixed feelings about physical keyboards on WP8. I do miss having one, but at the same time, there are plenty of draw backs. Having moving parts just gives you another thing that could break if it's not really well made. (I don't know if it's related, but my sister had the WP7 LG that had full keyboard, and it broke after less than a year for no noticeable reasons). While I miss the keyboard I had on my old AT&T Tilt, I've really fallen for my sexy slim Focus—I'm not sure I could go back to something thick enough to have a physical keyboard.

However, yes, there should be WP8 phones with physical keyboards on the market, and hopefully they will all be well made.
[Windows Phone 8 General] cdgoin:
Dell Venue Pro

I want a replacement.. and if it were lighter and more durable that would be great..

Long story short, I want a Qwerty portrait slider, or something like the old HTC Dash with a touchscreen.
[Windows Phone 8 General] guyver76:
Need a keyboard

I'm more comfortable with an actual keyboard. I have used the touchscreen but end up pulling out the keyboard even for short text messages. I am hoping for WP8 with a phyiscal keybaord.
[Windows Phone 8 General] gd761:
That would not be as nice as a Physical QWERTY Keyboard that was designed to be Permanently Attached to the Phone. That would also be another piece of hardware that you would have to worry about loosing all the time when you are out and about. For the phones both With and Without, they don't have to worry about Any Extra piece of hardware to carry around except maybe for an Extra Battery. The extra Battery would not be attached to the phone though. It would either be in a Pocket or a Woman's Bag.

A Physical QWERTY KEyboard should Always be designed for Every Model Phone. Let the people decide which ones to buy. If the Carriers and the Manufacturers are worried about taking a Loss for each device that's NOT sold, then give US, the CUSTOMER the Option to Preorder the phones so everyone knows that there won't be hardly anything wasted at all if any at all.

When a person wants a Car with Options, they Order the Car and they have to wait to get it. They get what they ordered and nothing gets wasted. So, why can't we do the same with the Cell Phones?
[Windows Phone 8 General] gd761:
I'm glad to see that there's a bunch of people who feel the same way as I do about the Physical QWERTY Keyboard. They both WANT & NEED the Physical QWERTY Keyboard. If enough of us make it known to both the Carriers and the Manufacturers that we WAND and NEED the Physical QWERTY Keyboards, then they will have to stand up and take notice of how many of us there are that Support the Physical QWERTY Keyboard.

Both the Carriers and Manufacturers will have to rethink their decisions that they have previously made about trying to kill off the PHYSICAL QWERTY KEYBOARD!

Just like Sprint did with the iPhone. Sprint saw how much that there were people that wanted the iPhone, so they went into a deal with Apple to get the iPhone to satisfy the people who wanted to get an iPhone and were considering leaving Sprint just so they can get one.

I hope that the First Post here that I started gets a LOT of Attention and gets seen by both the Carriers and the Manufacturers so they can see that there's Still a Huge Following for the Physical QWERTY Keyboard!
[Windows Phone 8 General] fathamburger:
Glad someone brought this up. I'm still using a DVP and I will probably still be loathe to give it up when WP8 hits, not sure what I will do. I am definitely in for a Nokia Pureview if they pull that off in time but otherwise while I can use the soft keyboard, it is still maddening to use compared to the physical keyboard. It ends up saving me a LOT of time when texting so here's another vote for there still being a market for QWERTY devices
[Windows Phone 8 General] JVH3:
The bluetooth keyboard for the iphone is a slide out and actually attaches to the iphone. There are other models that attach to Samsung phones. To the user, it is like the keyboard is attached. Obviously, since it is not directly connected, you need to seperately charge it. But, it also does not need to always be charged.

http://www.brookstone.com/bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-case-for-iphone

There are a number of leather cases for other phones that flip open where the phone is on one side and the keyboard is on the other. So, in effect, it is like 1 device.

I googled a little, but have not find where to purchase the ones for other phones in individual units. Maybe ebay.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Technosquid:
I'm in this same boat. I'd love for Samsung to make a WP8 handset that is the spiritual successor to the Dell Venue Pro.
[Windows Phone 8 General] dp1l:
I agree

I have been searching for a replacement for my htc touch pro ii, unsuccessfully. The htc 7 pro looked good, but I think I want to avoid a sliding keyboard now.

I have a tablet now, so i use my phones a lot less while at home, and myrequirements have changed a little. I want an HTC windows phone with a 5 line, physical keyboard ( dedicated number keys)That looks quite unlikely, as htc seem to have almost abaondoned windows. I have resisted android so far, but the chacha looks like the best compromise available at the moment. Does anyone know when Windows 8 will be announced? Seems like it could be in the next two weeks. I have quite a lot of brand loyalty to htc and windows, but it looks like I have to choose between them now.

Are there still a lot of people that want physical keyboards? The numbers seem to be dropping, but whatever I choose, it will have one.
[Windows Phone 8 General] JVH3:
Most things found searching with google show October 29 to be the release date for Windows Phone 8.

There's been a lot out there on the phone that Windows Phone 8 that Samsung announced. Nokia will be making announcements soon.

With less than 2 months to go, it is well worth the wait to with Windows Phone 8 than to go with Windows Phone 7 and only be able to get updated to 7.8.

I haven't seen any announcements for phones with keyboards though. Bluetooth keyboards should be an options. Hopefully they make one that is a flip out case.

I'd like a keyboard as well... but the bluetooth ones and phones are getting to the point where they are as thin as if they are combined...

[Windows Phone 8 General] Prolek:
Keyboard is a necessity

I agree, qwerty keyboard is priceless for professionals doing lot of writing on the go. I wouldn't replace my 7pro with a big-touch-screened phone. Size and weight is not the matter here - I don't keep it in my pocket, I use it. It is also for traveling kind of people, who don't always bring their tablet with them. Lack of such device in Nokia, Samsung and HTC offer so far is most troubling... I hope someone up there is reading!

HTC's devices have always been mostly for professional use and 7 pro proved to be a good quality tool. The company has experience in making solid slide-open phones. Why not making the next '8 pro' with a similar or slightly bigger screen, replacable battery and a SDcard slot? I'd even vote for an old-fashioned tilt screen, if I can.

Samsung is a fast developping company in terms of both technilogy and quality. I am actually considering buying a ATIV pc pro tablet myself. Why not winning the professional market this time with an innovative slide-qwerty keyboard, big superAMOLED display and possibility to connect with other Samsung devices? I would be among the first to try.

Nokia sounds most promising because of the best apps and integration with the new Windows. It used to make some qwerty phones in the past - now is the right time to bring it to the future! Very good camera and built-in big storage, not mentioning great apps necessary for every businessman... It would be my pick without a doubt.
[Windows Phone 8 General] magicsquid:
I agree - a few phones with physical keyboards would seem logical given that WP8 (unlike WP7) is meant to be suitable for businesses / enterprises.

Personally, I would like a reasonably high-end device:

- screen around 4" (or slightly bigger) with HD resolution.

- good keyboard (ideally portrait slider).

- 32GB storage (or expandable using SD card).

The manufacturers seem to be targeting the mass market for the first batch of WP8 devices. Hopefully, there will be a couple of decent keyboard phones coming in a later batch.

I suspect the market for keyboard phones is declining because of the increase in screen size. i.e. typing on a larger (e.g. 4.3" to 4.8") screen is probably okay for most people.
[Windows Phone 8 General] fatclue:
You just described the Dell Venue Pro to the tee. Shame that Dell or HP won't be bringing a WP8 device like that one to market.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Art4:
I'd support and buy a Blackberry-style qwerty-keyboard Windows Phone 8 device.

I decided to ditch my Samsung Omnia 4 for a Blackberry 9360 a few months ago and never looked back.

I'll wait for the new BB10 devices and buy one if there aren't any WP8 devices like that by then... I really hope Microsoft and its Windows Phone hardware partners will come up with something by then. Given the streak of bad luck of both Apple and Blackberry, they might actually stand a chance after all.
[Windows Phone 8 General] goldaar:
I would purchase a DVP wp8 device in a heartbeat, but alas, none of the manufacturers seem keen to release one in the initial wave of devices. I personally hate the landscape sliders, they just end up being awkward to switch between different tasks. I hope one of the manufacturers will bring a device with portrait keyboard, but Huawei is the only one with devices still to show for launch, and I doubt they will do anything in the space.
