How to revert hboot?

I was on CM9

i did this

a) copy new hboot.img to sdcard

b)reboot into recovery

b1)In cmd run the following commands (after each command press enter):

adb devices

adb shell

c)backup your alpharev hboot:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img

d) flash new hboot:

dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

reboot to hboot and check your hboot version it must be something like this

***LOCKED***

Now can i revert doing this:

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/backup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

?

P.s cause the stock rom is in downloading (400MB) and my phone is stuck in boot animation of CM9
[HTC Desire S] karabaja2:
I don't think so, I think this is all we'll get from HTC... Of course it's not fair since we all hoped for an ICS update that would be the best for this device. But maybe this rom can be used to build some better custom roms. :confused:
[HTC Desire S] thijs84:
Hi,

I think I found a bug:

I'm using my phone a lot with a headset, but the mic doesn't seem to work anymore (had the same issue with a custom rom a while ago, but it was working fine on cm7)

Anyone who can confirm the issue?
[HTC Desire S] krzyqacz:
app link bug solved

The app associations bug (not changing the app links in the appropriate menu) has a simple workaround. Go to Settings->Apps->All-> look for the app that is currently linked as the default one and select it-> scroll down and hit clear defaults. Now you can set a new link in the Apps associations menu.

Does anyone have a working notes widget apk? Preferably the newer one with better funcionality than the older yellow sticky notes, but actually any would be fine. Really miss it!
[HTC Desire S] teddy_irish:
May I ask you how did you revert back to Gingerbread? I am trying to switch back aswell but without success. I upgraded from stock ROM, s-on Gingerbread. Now I can't go back through the RUU. No one of the temproot methods are working for me - I can't change the misc version. Can you give me some advice please! I even posted a thread about this issue. Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] d14r1:
It's not working, links crash/don't open all the time. I have not yet set any defaults, thus can't clear any.
[HTC Desire S] Don_Gore:
has anyone with a rooted ds tried the method described in this thread:

I think the htc.linkify solution could be the problem here.

Worked like a charm (whatsapp links don't make the app crash anymore).

unsatisfied

ok i'm really unsatisfied with this update. :( it's anoying not to be able to open any links without crashing the app. battery drains much faster. and i think incoming calls need longer to come. but that can just be me. (i don't think it was like that before ..)

i don't know if i can ask this here, so tell me if this is unwanted, but would one of you recommend flashing fallout rom? or is there any better? never flashed anything before because i wanted to wait for the official update .. which wasn't worth it.

i like sense 4 much more than sense 3.6 - it's prettier.

has anybody any experience? advantages/disadvantages?

thanks kenny
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
I liked fallout pretty much actually. I didnt like not working hotspot, because in our school we have weak wifi, so with notebook i rely on wifi hotspot.
[HTC Desire S] dmatik:
I tried, there is no HTClinkify... Apk in our ROM.... So this is not an issue.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Just wondering, why is the base of the ROM 14.XXX?

Should it be 3.XXX?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
To make it possible for use by the regular users that had the previous updated OTA and their main versions are 12.x and 13.x. Not much of the regular users know about XDA and the misc_version trick, moreover HTC cannot propose misc version change as an official method ;)

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Ah, I see, but want the last OTA update before ICS,

2.10.XXX?

And before that was 1.46.XXX? (Sense 2.1)

That's why it seemed logical to go to 3.XXX.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
These are the RUU versions. HTC never released them and only the users here can use them, thanks to Football.

Officially there is no version 2.x (I am not aware of Desire S sold with Sense 3 out of the box, but even if there are such devices, still the majority of the users got Sense 3 by OTA and got version 12.x or 13.x), maybe some users had 1.47 if they bought the phone in Q3-Q4 2011

This is to fix the crashing of apps when links are clicked?
[HTC Desire S] wapz:
****, now I need to root it to fix this :)

Is there already a solution to root the phone on a stock ICS that was never rooted before?

I don't agree with the stories on the reduces batterylife btw, it is much better here!
[HTC Desire S] sMhsn:
same here battery is good on my phone now, is this line resolving that link opening issue on someones phone i havent tried it yet do we have to root to add this line?

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

How to edit it?
[HTC Desire S] wapz:
With ES File Explorer for example (click and hold for a while and choose edit). Since it is a system file you will need s-off and root.
[HTC Desire S] esque:
In case you still need a solution:

- deactivate synch for contacts

- check that GMail still has the current set of contacts (just to be sure)

- delete all contact on your phone

- activate synch again

Your phone should pull the contacts from GMail, and as you said those are still ok, so you shoud be fine.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
I'm just wondering, whether people who installed it really via RUU, not PG88IMG experience same bugs as we do.
[HTC Desire S] Ice Code:
Had no troubles upgrading.

From latest official upgrade (Sense 3.0, Android 2.3.5) => Official ICS RUU. Took about 15 minutes.

Had phone state as follows:

SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.00.0002

RADIO 3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot
[HTC Desire S] .bucch:
Agree for the battery thing, it boot faster also.

btw for rooting you have to unlock your bootloader first, it will wipe all your data so back it up, then flash a custom recovery via flashboot. I used 4ext recovery.

Once installed the custom recovery you have to flash superuser then reboot an your phone is rooted.

I used RomToolbox for editing the build.prop but there are many editors.

No need being S-off, i did it on my S-on, HTCdev unlocked and rooted.
[HTC Desire S] padraic93:
I'm looking for some advice.

At the moment, my T-Mobile Desire S is S-OFF'd with Revolutionaey, hboot 6.98.1002 and CWM Recovery, running Ice Cold Sandwich, and I'm wanting to move to this official ROM. At the same time, I'm tempted to remove revolutionary and that and go back to my official ROM as shown in the tutorial vid from Desirefanatics... My question; say I S-ON my phone and that and go back to t-mobile GB: Would running the ICS-RUU also update my hboot to 2.x? (The guide I'd use for S_ON leaves me with hboot 0.98.x) and would I then have to S-OFF etc. again if I decided to go back to GB?
[HTC Desire S] .bucch:
Keep s-off and follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858508

[HTC Desire S] stevennekens:
I'm not really sure that my battery consumption is worse with this ICS ROM, but I do think that the registration is wrong. When I look at the apps that consume the power, I only see screen, phone calls, cell standby and phone idle. Why aren't the other components (android system, the browser...) suddenly not using any power anymore?
[HTC Desire S] Changi:
HTC sync not working for me after the upgrade.. :(
[HTC Desire S] d14r1:
After two cycles of recharging, battery is much better now. The only niggle is slowish drop down menu when locked and links not working on SMS and Whatsapp. On another note, anybody managed to extract Sense 3.6 Notes App?
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
the problem with links can be solved if you're rooted. look few posts back...
[HTC Desire S] wapz:
Install the One X version.
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
After reading entire thread, I see there are 3 main issues:

1. WiFi issue:

Wifi was off when phone sleep, even if the option "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" was set to Always.

Solution: not yet. May be this is the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26262473#post26262473

2. Linkify dispatcher issue:

App crash when user click on a link.

Solution: Solved by editing build.prop file. Search for ro.da1.enable=true in the file, set it to false and then add this line right after it: ro.da1.method=false

3. Battery life issue:

battery life is shorter than on Gingerbread.

Solution: After two cycles of recharging, battery is much better now.

4. And may be some issue ralated to lagging, smoothing, performance...? (not sure)

Is there any issue you have encountered?
[HTC Desire S] sMhsn:
I am having that link issue which crashing the app thats it otherwise everything is smooth like anything battery is much much better then before I have never faced any issues with wifi which so many people are facing its been 5 days Im running ICS and not for a single second wifi go disconnected, I guess Im lucky enough not to have those issues which so many people are facing :)
[HTC Desire S] Constantly:
when i try to install the RUU it says: ERROR [132]: Siganture Failure...

whats the matter? how can i solve this?
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
Try to re-download and install again.

The file may be corrupt?
[HTC Desire S] wapz:
One of the big improvements is the camera, lightning fast shooting as promised in ICS, works well!
[HTC Desire S] Nuladen:
Really silly comment here (has to be for my first post right? :p) but on my Desire S with GB if I did not enable Best WiFi performance as well as keep alive it would still disconnect when the phone went to sleep, similar issue perhaps? Apologies if that has been covered already but I've not seen it mentioned.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
No - this is, apparently, an HTC decision to automatically turn Wi-Fi off between the hours of midnight and 7 am. There is a fix here - as referenced by Skanob in his Dev thread for the ROM here in post #2
[HTC Desire S] Adion:
Since I updated my phone I also have a strange problem.

When the screen is off for a while, sometimes I can't turn it on anymore. Anyone else experienced this?

If my music player is playing it continues to play, but the power button doesn't turn the phone on anymore.

Also, if the phone was charging, the orange charging led remains on even when I disconnect the charger.

The only way to reset the phone seems to be by unplugging the battery.

I've had this happen 5 times in 2 days now, so the phone is becoming unusable now :(

Update: It's not even only when the phone is sleeping. Had the screen on while charging now, and it just became unresponsive. The screen is still on, but no buttons or touch works anymore.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Small question: Flashing RUU does wipe your data, right? I have friend with a Saga who probably won't flash this if it wipes the data. If yes, I'll just tell hem to root instead. He'll still lose the data, but at least he'll have better options :p:p:p
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
yes, flashing ICS ruu wipes the data.
[HTC Desire S] dmatik:
Tell him first to root, to make Titanium backup, and then flash the RUU. Root again after that, to restore.

Is it useful in your opinion to format micro sd after updating?

[HTC Desire S] babaibhat:
Few more bugs that I FACED

(Apart from bugs mentioned previously - link crash etc)

Few more Bugs (IMHO):

Link Contact issue (intermittent)

Sometimes linking 2 contacts (both Facebook contacts & Google contacts) does work at all. Screen seems to revert to unlinked version of that contact, like nothing happened at all. :confused:

Selecting a contact icon

Contact icon selection sometimes does not work (specially with contacts linked with FB).

Flickering redrawing in browser

Browser flickers while scrolling up-down in rich HTML5 contents. This issue is somewhat present in Chrome also.

(links such as m.wired.com etc)

Multiline textbox copy-paste context menu problem (specially in, built in Mails app compose screen)

If you want to paste a text copied from other app or textbox, then positioning & pasting it between some existing multiline text is troublesome.

It'll try to select other text already written in that textbox. So pasting will overwrite the selected text.

In GingerBread, you could paste a new text/line just by keeping your cursor on a empty space and keep on holding on it, a menu was shown to paste it. Now it first selects some other text, then shows the menu. :mad:

There could be more. I sent them a mail about few of the common bugs and in reply they said they will look into it.

But I don't trust them anymore. We are goner with Desire S - ICS.
[HTC Desire S] vicusbass:
Diacritics missing

For some reason, the character ț is missing in RUU. Probably not included in Roboto font? It's really annoying, I cannot see in in e-mails, internet pages, in SwiftKey predictions and keyboard, etc. Quite crappy for romanian users..
[HTC Desire S] carlone83:
Does it wipe the data in the SD card too?
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
no. sdcard is safe.
[HTC Desire S] emdotdub:
Google introduced with ICS the quick responses for incoming calls, where you can instantly send a predefinied text message instead of answering the phone.

I haven't noticed that feature. Do I have to activate it or is it just not there?
[HTC Desire S] d14r1:
That feature was implemented since Sense 3.0, though does not work when key lock is on.
[HTC Desire S] horaceCJ:
It's not missing but the behaviour is strange. I can see it in most places, I have it also in the Swype keyboard. However, when I sent a test email from my laptop to my phone I got the attached result :)

Also I noticed the missing letter in some other apllication, but I didn't payed much attention. I'll keep looking from now on.
[HTC Desire S] emdotdub:
Ah, ok. That explains why I haven't noticed. And makes it practically useless...
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
I've noticed quite big battery drain.

[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
You didn't revert back to GB?

In GB sometimes this symptom does happen to me

I checked the battery usage and see "Android OS" eat a lot of power

Just restart the phone and everything is OK

Try to restart your phone and see if it still persist?
[HTC Desire S] steste01:
Is there any way to set my language to English (UK)? Currently there's only English (US). Would it be this that's causing a lot of apps such as amazon mp3 to show me items in us dollars?
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
I did. But then i decided to give second chance for ICS.
[HTC Desire S] nradu:
Reject with Message

Indeed in Sense 3.0 the feature was not available when screen lock was active, but now in Sense 3.6 it's working again - just press the menu key under the screen, no matter if lock is on or off and you get a menu with the desired option included.

I installed ICS on my phone,but phone is really slow. Anybody know it possible to fix that and how
[HTC Desire S] axisminden:
All those who suffer from stuttering: Try "Force GPU rendering" times in the Developer Tools. Have the impression that it will help.
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
it shouldn't be. if you're rooted you can wipe everything and flash it once again.
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
U can try downloaden MoreLocal from the play store, not sure if English UK is included but u can try.
[HTC Desire S] horaceCJ:
Missing languages?

Maybe related to this problem. My phone was set to Romanian, however I didn't had that option in languages. So I switched to English to see if it appears... guess what, it didn't. I don't know how it was set in the first place, maybe by restoring something with Titanium.

Anyway, now I'm searching for a sollution to have Romanian in the options, maybe this will solve the missing letter problem.

Later edit: I switched back to Romanian using MoreLocale 2 from Google Play. However, the problem persists, even within the same application (Google Maps, Settings, Settings for my location).
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
you shuld have a choice to select romanian...
[HTC Desire S] horaceCJ:
I don't have it, I didn't have it neither in the initial configuration on the first boot. I forgot to mention that my phone was/is rooted and I used this guide to update (not the RUU): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858508
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
the same as installing by RUU except for hboot and recovery
[HTC Desire S] toxic-hero:
have you restored any system setting with titanium backup? or maybe flashed some tweaked version of this rom?
[HTC Desire S] horaceCJ:
I restored my apps and some system apps data, but even on clean ROM (on first boot) I didn't have Romanian in the list of choices.

I have a stock S-ON HTC DS with 2.3.5. Can i root the phone after installing ICS with RUU ? Or do you recommend rooting the phone first and after then installing the official ics upgrade ? Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] belgianrebel:
No need to root prior updating, as you wil lose root permissions after updating. Just run the ruu, unlock thru htcdev, install custom recovery (4ext) then flash superuser and your done.

Hello there,

I didn't know where else to come so I thought XDA could be the place for my answers!

I'm an Android user so I've got experience in flashing roms and recovery but I have found my old Samsung Tocco Lite and my little sister wants it, it's currently locked to Virgin Mobile so I need to unlock it. But first I want to know how to hard reset it or even reflash the stock firmware to get everything back to default. It has some form of pin code on it which I can't remember so I can't reset the phone via the settings. It's currently charging as it was well and truly dead when I found it so any advice would be great.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] MacGyver Jack:
The tocco lite isnt a smartphone i dont believe, i had a tocco before it went through the washing machine but it doesnt seem to be a rootable device. You cant even install apps unless im thinking of a different phone
[General Questions and Answers] CurtisAndroid5:
Yeah it isn't but you can flash roms using software such as MultiLoader (Similar to Odin).

The phone now has a dead battery and refuses to charge. Thanks anyway!
[Streak 5 General] spdivr:
Hello,

I have a Dell 5 that I had left in the junk pile after dropping it and cracking it's screen until I found out how to replace the screen. I am onto a new phone now, but I would like to reuse the phone as a wifi only tablet for my kids.

I have rooted it and installed the cwm recovery. Now I am trying to work on getting a new custom ROM onto it, but I am having a few issues. First, there are a LOT of roms listed on the rom sheet with little information on what the differences are. Second, when I click on the links for the various roms that seem like they might be a good choice, it appears that none of the pages exist any more.

I am looking for a clean ROM, where reliability and clean performance are the main concerns. Fancy stuff is not required.

Thanks for any help!
[Streak 5 General] abauer:
look on the dev section for a Rom called DSC v 1.4 , it has around 5000 posts but the first 2 posts have all the info you need to install the Rom properly, I don't know any other Rom that can come close to it.

you can also try longhorn 2.7 for starters ...

dsc > gb v2.3.3

longhorn > gb 2.3.7

for dsc... go for 1.0 first and once you get the hold of it.. go for 1.4

same to longhorn.. go for 2.7 and when you feel like trying.. go for 2.9.1
