question

can someone help me to understand this:

I have a telstra phone (sim unlocked and i am using Vodafone). So the phone has telstra ROM.

I use HTCDEV website to unlocked bootloader.

So if i press Vol- + POWER

it shows:

UNLOCKED

Sage PVT Ship S-ON RL

Hboot 2.00.0002

Radio 3.822.10.08.04_M

emmmc - boot

Date - Time....

1/ so can i use this RUU without any problem?

2/ because I telstra ROM and unlocked bootloader so that i can flash different ROM and in this case it's European ROM?

3/ What is S-ON or S-OFF ? what does it do?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] mayurh:
From what I've read, you need to re-lock your bootloader to run the ruu
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
Yes, OR you can leave it unlocked and use PG88IMG.zip image to update (instead of RUU)
[HTC Desire S] booce:
Looks like HTC have the RUU back up on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads . Same version number as the one they posted earlier in the week. I wonder why they pulled it for two days?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
may be due to server overload? i'm not sure

but I have checked 2 files and they are identical byte-to-byte

so dont worry mate
[HTC Desire S] totalnoob34:
Just to know, what happens if I flash this over a 6.x hboot?
[HTC Desire S] booce:
From what I can gather, you'll get stuck in a bootloop. Just flash it from recovery with the hboot from here :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679338 then install this ROM. That's what I did and it works fine.

[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
yes, use the PG88IMG.zip in the 2nd link

do not use the RUU.exe in the 1st link
[HTC Desire S] mayurh:
Why is the ruu in htcdev saying wwe now?

Exactly same as this one?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
I have the same question.

2 files are identical, byte-to-byte

I dont known why they named this RUU Europe while it can be used for WWE.
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:

This is the same also for the HTC Rhyme. Both phones got the updates at the same time.

1) Can I make a recovery image of the phone before trying to update to ICS, so that if I screw up it can be "flashed" back to it's current state?

2) Can I use the the PG88IMG.zip in the 2nd link, put it in the root of my SD card and boot from that?

Many thanks
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
Yes you can. I have a A1 branded phone which is nothing than the vodafone rom, and it worked ithout problems using the RUU. YOu only have to consider that yout HBOOT Version is 02.00.0002 ad that your bootloader is locked. Otherwise use the Zip method.

"1) Can I make a recovery image of the phone before trying to update to ICS, so that if I screw up it can be "flashed" back to it's current state?"

This is possible but only for rooted phones. Otherwise I don't know such an option. you can also flash back to any ROM. All ROMs from HTC can be found in this forum

"2) Can I use the the PG88IMG.zip in the 2nd link, put it in the root of my SD card and boot from that?"

In your case I would recommend using the RUU because you have the right HBOOT. If you would have an old one you would get stuck in a bootloop. The Zip method is used for unlocked phones to stay S-OFF. Also the RUU only works when S-ON.
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
You recommend the RUU method but I don't know how to do that, plus I have a Mac (not Windows). I thought the zip method means I could do it without a PC, just transfer the file and install from the phone? Are there any of my settings that won't work with the zip method?
[HTC Desire S] AlSimm0ns:
Small guide how I installed RUU and kept hboot and recovery ...

Hi guys,

this is how I installed the latest ROM, but kept hboot and recovery.

First of all, you should be on 2.x or 7.x hboot! By talking hboot I am of course talking about an

unlocked

one which

is S-OFF already. Otherwise you will not be able to flash anything.

If you're not S-OFF already you have to unlock your hboot. Maybe you want to go for HTCDev to unlock it.

Get the latest ROM

Get the file from here www.htcdev.com which is at around 400MB.

The ZIP file contains the RUU

[*]Extract the EXE and start it

When you start the tool it will extract the compressed ROM (rom.zip) somewhere inside your %temp% folder.

This is where you have to copy it from - which is important since it will be deleted once you exit the tool!

Once you copied the file, you can close the bloody RUU. We now have a stock ROM which could easily flashed from the bootloader.

[*]Now you can extract the ROM and remove hboot and recovery from it

As you can see, the file contains a hboot and a recovery which we need to remove to keep the versions we have got installed already.

[*]Create a new ZIP file called "PG88IMG.ZIP"

Create a new ZIP file and name it "PG88IMG.ZIP" without adding hboot and recovery.

This file should be copied to our SD card to make it available for the bootloader.

[*]Boot your Desire S into its bootloader

If you haven't switched off you phone already, do it now.

Press and hold volume down button, turn the phone on while keeping the lower volume button pressed.

The bootloader will now scan the root folder of your SD card for files which seem suitable for being flashed.

It will ask for start flashing the file. Press volume up key to accept flashing.

After this is done you have a fresh ROM including radio and stuff.

[*]Install SuperSU

After you have setup your phone you want to remove your PG88IMG.ZIP from the SD card, otherwise you will be asked to flash it every time you fire up the bootloader.

You also might want to disable quick start (or quick boot?) from the Power menu to boot into recovery, next time the phone is switched off.

Now you can download SuperSU from here.

Put the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip" on your SD card and flash it from recovery.

That's it!

I installeed few days ago RUU, using HTC procedure. Everything went fine

My HBoot:

LOCKED , S-off

2.02.002

I have no recovery ( red triangle ).

Is it possible to root my phone , but remaining app+data ?

Gps works fine, found 7 sattelites in 20 sec.

Seems to me font is to small.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] juergen_90:
You didn't mention that you are on Mac. If you don#t want to do it using Bootcamp on Mac do it like AlSimm0ns described it. This should also work for you. The way using the RUU would be the most easiest one! Just open the .exe and follow the instructions ... I own myself also a mac and upgraded with Windows via Bootcamp and RUU
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
I don't have a copy of windows and it seems like a lot of stuff to do to my mac just to sort my phone for ICS. Thanks for your help but I think I'll pass on the upgrade and messing with my phone (root s-off etc). It seems like it's too technical for me to get all the steps done in a mac only environment.
[HTC Desire S] AlSimm0ns:
Hi,

if I've got you right you used the RUU to get up to the latest ROM. This means that you now have an up to date but locked phone.

Since your phone is locked, you need to look for an exploit to gain root access to your phone. Once you have rooted it you would be

able to use an adb shell to dd an new hboot to the phone.

It is quite a while ago since I've rooted my Desire S and I am not very up to date when it comes to the latest tools to gain root access.

I will have a look and I'll update my post. But basically, this is what you are heading for ...

Gain root access to your current ROM.

Get a proper hboot and flash it yourself using an adb shell.

Now you can use fastboot to flash a recovery, or you could use 4EXT updater to flash a 4EXT recovery.

Nice guide, however this PG88IMG.zip file has been uploaded in the 1st post of this thread

http://yadi.sk/d/_5aEQA25Pm8i

For those who dont want to make by himself, just download this file and flash
[HTC Desire S] andrewfd:
So I thought I'd try again this morning. I put the PG88IMG.ZIP into the root of my SD card and powered on with volume down pressed. It scanned and said it could not find a couple of PG88DIAG files and then found the PG88IMG.ZIP file, loaded it (blue vertical bar completed), then checked it (brown vertical bar completed) and then went back to the original menu. No option to install new image, say yes or no?

I am missing something? Does the phone have to be root s-off for it to work? If so, back to square one as I have a mac and no copy of windows.

Battery drain?

Hi guys,

do you also experienced a battery drain? I came from ICE DS v4.4, but I am not sure which radio I was on before I installed

files from this release. Anyway I've got the feeling that my Desire S does not last that long anymore.

Has anybody made the same experience? Maybe I should do a downgrade of my radio and see how that will work.
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
I'm on the older radio version... And battery still drains much more compare to nik's sense 4.0 Rom... I think its the Rom problem... I notice it also on ice ds 4.4 Rom. Maybe u should compare other Rom and decide..
[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
What would happen if we use RUU exe instead of PG88IMG.zip..??
[HTC Desire S] AlSimm0ns:
Hi,

the RUU will flash everything including hboot and recovery. If you are S-OFF now, you will be S-ON after since the hboot will be replaced.

This is what most discussions are about ... how to get the latest ROM installed, without loosing S-OFF and current recovery.

What the RUU basically does is to flash a PG88IMG.ZIP with all its components. If you extract the PG88IMG.ZIP from the RUU you would be able to rebuild it using only the components you want to flash. Most likely you want to remove hboot or recovery, sometimes you also want to remove the radio.

All components (*.img files) could also be flashed manually, using the fastboot utility.

Hi!

The official ROMs prior to the ICS all used to have Hungarian language support, but the official ICS ROM does

not have Hungarian language in the settings. Will this stay like this (ICS will not support Hungarian language)

or will they release an update including Hungarian in the near future?

Does anyone know anthing about this? Thanks in advance. :)
[HTC Desire S] AlSimm0ns:
Hi,

to be honest I really do not expect anything "official" from HTC anymore when it comes to the Desire S.

You probably have to wait for a custom ROM which is supporting Hungarian language.

Have you already checked other ROMs like e.g. ICE DS v4.4 maybe this supports Hungerian?
[HTC Desire S] traian001:
if you have S-OFF ... try this (need full wipe) ... worked for me
[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
Why don't you try Live Bootable XP CD and let it done.

Just google Live Bootable XP and download any ISO image available or you may also try HBCD for this.

You don't need to remove your MAC or install Windows.

Official ICS 4

Official ICS 4.04 works fine... now I have more free ram than before...

I have 245 MB of free ram after boot (before I had telstra ROM it was about 200 MB)

- Everything seems faster from menu to launching apps.

- More features in Settings

- Got Polaris office

All good... I had to relock my phone before I could flash it bc i unlocked it from HTC website.

I think base on this rom, custom roms should be better... if he's a good chief.

I wonder if there is any custom rom that has 3G video call built in ??
[HTC Desire S] craftman:
Just installed the official RUU on my colleagues DS, and used "Set Locale and Language" from Play (it is way too newer than MoreLocale2) and it seems it turned ICS totally Hungarian. Give it a go ;)

I am currently running this Bootloader (Screenshot attached).

Which method should I use for this up-gradation,

1. Running RUU exe directly.

2. PM88IMG.ZIP method.

Device is made of UK and I am using it in India.

So after this update do I need to unlock carrier again to use Indian carriers ?

I had once used RUU for upgrade and since then I am having this *** LOCKED *** notification in Bootloader, whats that for ?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
your hboot was S-OFF so use PG88IMG.ZIP to update
[HTC Desire S] NIK3SH:
What would happen if I run RUU exe directly......???

It will block indian carrier usage ?

no, you will get the boot loop and phone will stuck at blank screen
