HI all

I have CM 10 on my defy which works brilliantly. I want to trade my phone in to one of these recycling places (Mazuma Mobile, Envirophone, etc) so I am looking for a UK rom (SBF) to flash. I tried the GB retail and vodafone roms to no avail. Or do you think these recycling places wil still give you a working phone trade in price even if it has a custom rom.

Many thanks

Hi All,

I am new to all this rooting flashing n stuff.

I have incs with stock ICS and its very slow, So i wanted to boot with custom ROM (JB by Nik)

I did unlock bootloader from htcdev.com and now my phone is unlocked, and I flashed JB codename by Nik and done it successful, but the phone is stuck on boot screen (HTC on screen)

My phone is still S on..

Pleasee help me out.

I need to Soff my phone and flash custom ROM. but the screen is stuck in initial screen.

Regards,

Milan
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
flash boot.img and everything will be fine;)
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
After unlocking with HTC dev it will remain s on.

Like will said, you have to flash your boot.IMG via fast boot for the ROM to boot. This has to be done after every ROM/kernel flash, unless the kernel of two ROMs are the same.

[HTC Incredible S] milan.gadakari:
Hi Brother

I tried boot img but still its stuck in the same htc screen.

Let me tell u wat i did.. after unlocking via htcdev i creatd a folder on my desktop android in which i saved adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and boot.img

then I stored NIK rom into my sd card, then flashed boot img post that i flashed NIK rom
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Hi back brother

Are you sure you flashed the boot.img correctly from fast boot?

Open cmd on your PC

cd to wherever fast boot drivers are on your PC

Put boot.img from the ROM you are flashing in that folder (it will be in the ROM zip)

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

And then flash the ROM from recovery.

You might want to Google search flashing boot.img from fastboot if you don't know how to do it

There are some nice YouTube guides out there

Also make sure you've wiped all partitions

Sent from my Nexus 7
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
I assume you forgot to full wipe.

Everytime you flash a new ROM, do this:

1. Full Wipe

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash boot.img in fastboot

4. Boot

If that doesn't work, do this:

1. Yell at your brother/sister/whoever

2. Full Wipe

3. Flash ROM

4. Flash boot.img in fastboot

5. Boot

Working great for me:D
[HTC Incredible S] milan.gadakari:
Thanks

Hi it worked for me.

Thanks all..

Just wanted to use one ROM.

Please let me know which is the most stable ROM as of now.

waiting for NIKS stable version, but till then i need one stable version
[HTC Incredible S] timleewm:
If you want a very stable ROM, I would recommend Nik's Project X which is a sense ICS rom so you won't feel too lost navigating about it.

If you want to be one of the cool kids on the block (like me ;)), Codename is the way to go!
[HTC Incredible S] milan.gadakari:
Is everything working in codename. I felt lot of bugs are there..
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Just read the buglist in the Codename thread;)
[HTC Incredible S] timleewm:
The buglist in the Codename thread seems quite extensive and does not apply to everyone. Most people seem to only have one or two.

For me, the only bugs are the video camera and the notification light not turning on when you are charging the phone. I don't have a newborn baby that I want to video every single second so it doesn't bother me ;)

And it's just so cool to be one of the kids on the block with Jellybean... whoop!
[HTC One X] BloomTwig:
Hi!

my phone is rooted and unlocked via HTC Dev. My head phone jack has been acting up in a most annoying way. The jack is very glitchy, if you touch the stiff part of the headphone (the part just above the hole so to say), it pauses the music because it thinks I pulled out my headphones. To get it to work again I need to pull the plug and put it back in again and start the music again.

This is very annoying and I would like to get it fixed. So my question is: To return it for warranty, shall I unroot and relock it or doesn't hthat matter because they will find out that I had it unlocked anyway? Any advice at all would be appreciated!

//BloomTwig
[HTC One X] Rodbouy:
I would unroot the phone and back to stock.

You then have the biggest chance to get it fixed, if they find out its a easy way to say fixing it

God, I had them tell me I had water damage and they sent pics, but I knew it was a lot of crap, so they took it back for a 2nd loook and admitted the pics were not even my phone.
[HTC One X] tgcp:
I think the manufacturers will cover you even if you're rooted, but I'm not entirely sure so don't quote me on that! i.e. Carrier won't, but contact HTC directly and they might be able to help!
[HTC One X] Rodbouy:
HTC are clear on rooted phones. DONT give them the info, if you do, do at your own risk
[HTC One X] BenPope:
That's backwards for most places (well, certainly most of Europe). The responsibility to uphold statutory rights lies with the retailer, not the manufacturer.
[HTC One X] Rodbouy:
If in 1st year then you can force the retailer to deal with it, but they would just send it to HTC cos they cover it for a further year. So the root problem would still be there.
[HTC One X] BloomTwig:
Thanks for the input. So I will just take a chance I guess... If they realize it's been rooted, what will they do then?

Will the fact that this is a hardware error, some kind of glitch in the connecting, and not a software mess up have any influence? The problem would be there even though it was never rooted...
[HTC One X] Rodbouy:
Even if its not related, it breaks their t&cs. If they find out they will just post it back unfixed or might fix it. Fingers crossed
[HTC One X] BloomTwig:
Ok, thanks all!
