[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You do realise you can flash a custom rom via recovery whether you're super-cid or not right? S-Off isn't hard, but not every one has that little courage they need to do it, custom roms don't require super-cid, only if you wanna switch to another carrier's complete stock rom then you'll need to super-cid and I'm talking via a ruu/ota/exe image file.

And I second the last part of your comment.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Isn't it possible to add custom CIDs on the ROMs you install? I forgot where you would add/change it. In the build.prop maybe?

Something just keeps telling me it's AndroidInfo.txt or something, but I can't find that in many ROMs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It's in the build.prop but that's not the only place the CID is stored, it's also stored in the bootloader/hboot file, that you can't change the way you would a build.prop file unless s-off but in the case of custom roms, it doesn't matter, only system files and kernels are being changed, not the entire system, therefore the verification of CID isn't checked or needed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marathone:
I'm on Mobilicity and I haven't used any specific roms for them. I'd root and unlock though.

Have you applied any ROMs prior? Be happy to help you along if not.
[Android General] Habarug:
I use TWRP for pretty much one reason only, it can mount through USB, which cwm can't do on the one s. Other than that I don't really find much difference in use, except that naming backups directly from recovery is nice :)
[Android General] kyokeun1234:
Oh there's no mount option on one s? You positive? Clockworkmod touch on galaxy nexus has that feature under mount I think. I can use adb to push files to the sdcard directory :)

[Android General] Habarug:
It's there, it's just that it does not work :P at least it did not work. I switched to twrp because of this and have never found a reason to switch back. On some units twrp also makes you able to flash boot through recovery (we don't have s off) but that doesn't work on mine.
[Android General] kyokeun1234:
Haha ok :)
[Android General] Kavrocks:
Should you not include 4EXT Recovery then also? That could be the right recovery for somebody.

Currently on 4EXT but wondering if I should go back to CWM.
[Android General] kyokeun1234:
Oops, I forgot 4ext :/ my apologies, but I never tried it, so I really can't give my opinion on it.

[Android General] visinacgile:
Hello there !

I got question which could be silly for most of you but I really appreciate if someone would be nice to clear that for me.

When I want to do nandroid backup in clockworkmode recovery, everything is clean and simple. And backup folder is quite small. e.g. For Haier w910 that folder is about 25mb. And everything is saved. I can do wipe data formating and when I want back my earlier rom he is there with all settings and customisations.

When I try same thing to do through TWRP (on Huawei g510) I get few options for backuping. But if I want to backup all system and data and rom, TWRP shows me about 850mb.

Is there any options in TWRP to do nandroid backup of all system like in CWM Recovery ?

Thanks infront !
[Android General] Atrvscet:
Good comparison.Anyway I love TWRP:laugh:
[Android General] MrAzerty:
Another big plus for TWRP : its abitity to charge the battery.
[Android General] MattKneale:
Doesn't CWM do this as well? At least I've never noticed any battery drain when plugged in.
[Android General] kyokeun1234:
Yup cwm also let the phone charge. Twrp just shows the battery percentage

Download the animated wallpapers pack at huexxx blog and flash it

Thanks a lot .. it worked..
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
Hello

I have downloaded the install and uninstall files in section "Animated wallpapers pack (flash from CWM)" from huexx's blog.

After installing + wipe cache, wallpapers are installed but not able to work : they are not present in animated wallpaper list.

I'm sure applications are installed, because I unzipped the apk from the install zip and tried to install them has legacy apk : installation asked me to replace the already installed application.

After using remove script with CWM + wipe cache + reboot, I tried to install apk a second time : apk installation worked well, but related animated wallpaper were still no available...

Tried all this with v6.39n
[LG Optimus Black] touheed..:
Are u able to see live wallpaper option when u tap add wallpaper ?

If u cant see the livewallpaper option then tht mean u didnt properly flashed the pack.

Make sure u just enter cwm

Install zip frm sd >select animated_wallpaper_zeus. zip

Reebot

Thts it , hope it solves ur problem
[LG Optimus Black] touheed..:
Btw i hav done this with same v6.39

Hope u too get it
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
This is exactly what I did first time, and I just tried now a second time with same result.

Out of that, I can't imagine how it is possible to flash a zip NOT properly... With CWM, you flash it.. or not. that's all.

Of course, I Checked MD5 before flashing.

You are using v6.39 or v6.39n ?
[LG Optimus Black] touheed..:
Both r one and the same
[LG Optimus Black] touheed..:
Did u get it in second try or not ?
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
nope. And I got an other problem while trying to reinstall , see here
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] mitchellvii:
This may seem silly (because it probably is), but one of the things that has always annoyed me about writing on a tablet is that it is utterly and completely silent as the stylus slides across the glass.

I've often that that it would be cool if you had an app that mimicked the sound a similar writing instrument has on paper. For instance, if writing with a pencil tool it makes the pencil noise with each stroke, or with a magic marker tool the squeakiness of a magic marker.

Of course there would be the option to turn the sounds off for public environments so as not to annoy others.

Anyway, just an idea for someone who might have the skill to create such an app.

Hey guys, I have a HTC Amaze running Gingerbread....

I have CWM installed, with ***Unlocked*** PVT SHIP S-ON RL, and the H-Boot is 1.90.0004...

I'm wondering how I can install ICS/JB (step by step would be great, as I got confused reading the other threads)

^ Do I need to flash Stock? Is it possible to flash ICS/JB Without S-Off?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
The bible linked in my signature has all information you need- this is a link that goes directly how to flash ICS firmware. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...a-E_iDtKBuAC9jc/edit#bookmark=id.d02ccdce695a

Also, use 4ext recovery, it is much better, and if you enable smartflash you can flash kernels without s-off. CWM has not been supported for a while and may have issues like not charging while the phone is off. There is a thread about 4ext in one of the forums if you do a search.

Lastly, I am pretty sure you have to relock your bootloader to flash the RUU as the instructions in the above link should show.

No, you have to upgrade to ics via a stock ruu, read that thread properly and not just skim through it.

K. Think I got this..

The steps::

From GB -> ICS

1. Flash Stock ICS RUU

2. Unlock Bootloader again through htcdev

3. Install CWM/4EXT

4. Flash Rom

right?

Do I need to relock the bootloader if I want to flash stock RUU?

1. Relock bootloader

2. Flash Stock ICS RUU

3. Unlock Bootloader again through htcdev

6. Flash Rom

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You don't need to go back to htcdev to unlock the bootloader after update, the old unlock file works fine.
[HTC Amaze 4G] nitrogen618:
Is it okay to relock bootloader while on a custom rom?

I don't have the old file from HTCDev, so I need to go through the process again...

Thanks!

Btw, can I Flash kernel using hasoon2000 tool to flash kernel with S-ON?

same questions

I have the same issue. I bought my wife's phone on eBay. It has GB 2.3.4 with a custom energy rom. I'm trying to find the easiest way to upgrade to ICS via OTA. My thought is to go back to stock ruu and use T-Mobile's OTA upgrade. T-Mobile's Amaze 4G

Hboot says:

***UNLOCKED***

RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

eMMC-boot

I've spent days and hours reading threads after threads. After learning all the terms, I'm ready to try something but I'm scared of bricking the phone.

Can you give me step-by-step instructions on exactly what you did? I think I should go with hasoon2000 toolkit. The phone does not have a stock recovery. The recovery is by Team version 2.0.0. I'm guessing this is what I need to do:

Using hasoon2000 toolkit:

1. go back to stock recovery. Is this necessary?

2. relock bootloader. Can I do this with the toolkit?

3. flash stock GB ruu (or is it the same to flash stock ICS ruu here?)

Since this is my wife's phone, she doesn't really care about custom roms. Do I need to:

3. Unlock Bootloader again through htcdev

4. Install 4EXT

5. Superwipe/Wipe

6. Flash Rom

Is the toolkit the best method or can I simply have the ruu on my SD card and run it through Hboot?

Any advise or tips will be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Download a ROM, extract its boot.img then use fastboot command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Oh and p.s dont use tools designed for other phones in future - why you needed one to htcdev unlock is beyond me though, the instructions are perfectly clear on the htcdev.com website
[HTC Sensation] Reatret:
Its a lot easier that way, I found. Anyways, could you pleaselink me to a stable working rom? I dont trust myself on finding one. and what do you mean by "use fastboot command: fastboot flash boot boot.img"
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
You need the adb/fastboot files to use the fastboot command, there is a link either in the "flashing ROM's with S-ON" guide or in the "Guide to S-OFF, custom recovery and SuperCID" thread - sorry, Im on my phone so cant link it.

Then put the files in C:\adb and open command prompt and type:

cd C:\adb

then press enter

Next you need to extract the boot.img from a Sense ROM zip file - any from the dev thread will do as long as its a Sense ROM - and place boot.img in the C:\adb folder then put phone into bootloader, connect to computer and select "fastboot USB" from the phones bootloader menu and then type the following command into command prompt:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

hit enter then type:

fastboot reboot

press enter and all done

Fastest - Andromadus

Bug-Free - Any Sense 3.6 ROM based on official RUU/leak

Combination of speed and stability - Fallout
[HTC Desire S] Tango One:
I tried Reaper V3 very fast but I couldn't pair the phone with my car kit so moved to Endymion_V3.5 which is great so far.
[HTC Desire S] Fredericosilva:
Endymion or Reaper.

Fallout or another 4.0 ROMS are not fast/smooth enough.
[HTC Desire S] Kavrocks:
Why don't you just pick a few, flash them, try them out and then decide which is the best for you?

What suits somebody else might not suit others. For instance I currently need ICS but I don't want Sense because I think Vanilla looks much better, I also don't want a pile of crap on my phone at the start so I went with CM9 but somebody else may prefer Sense 3.6 or 4.0 so they choose a Sense ROM.
