Yes in that case be sure your sbf is safe or has "pudding". Akaik sbf is only way to remove the unlocked message on boot screen. You'll need the sbf for your carrier/region.
[Atrix 4G General] upndwn4par:
See the link I posted earlier for going back to stock options.

Flashing an sbf is never a good idea even when you know your exact model and version. Flashing an sbf without knowing this info is just asking for big trouble.

The answer to your last question is no.

Thanks.

I'll go with a CWR restore. I'll let the "Unlocked" mention...

Thank you !
[HTC One S] skyler1994:
Hi there,

I've had my One S for about a month now and I really love it. So far I haven't rooted my phone yet so I'm using stock (T-Mobile, Netherlands). However, I find the battery life a bit lacking and T-Mobile installed some bull**** apps that I can't uninstall.

So I'm tempted to root my One S, as I did with my previous phone (Wildfire S). However, I have some questions. First of all, I read about a difference between S3 and S4, and that S3 isn't rootable + there isn't much support for custom roms, is this true. Second of all, what's a way to definatly find out if I'm S3 or S4, without looking on the box or anything.

Third, how safe is rooting atm and which guide should I use? And last but not least, what ROM do you recommend?

Thanks a lot for reading :).

Greetings,
[HTC One S] Kamilr97:
I believe you can find out what processor you have by going into settings, about phone, hardware information. If not, download quadrant standard from the market and go into system information. Look at the max frequency of the CPU. If it is 1512mhz, then it is S4. If it says 1700 or something around there then you have the S3 version.

Hi ....to root a device ...you really need to know what your doing....or you could damage the device

There is just so much diversity of what you can do ...it can get very comfusing

But go to OneXroot.com.....& follow Max's ..."1 click method"

Its the easiest way to root the HTC One S .....the videos are for the HTC One X ...but the method works fine for the HTC One S

Hello. In my recent attempts to try out different roms, I realised that I have to flash different boot images. However, I realise that the boot.img is also the kernel. So, for example, if I flash a kernel that is compatible over a number of roms, does that mean I won't have to touch my computer when flashing different roms? I am aware that kernel modules need to be reflashed. So.. am I right?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I assume you're good to go.

You could try it and let us know.
[HTC One X] treebill:
If the rom you flashed has ram disk tweaks then not repackaging the boot IMG will make you lose these.

Flash stock boot.IMG and flash any rom and it should boot so should work fine.

Give it a go. Report back.

I'm running a CM ROM for the first time, just loaded up the re-release of CM9.1 with the battery fix, etc. It's running great so far. I do have a question about how to configure the Gallery. It is showing me every image file on my phone and I don't want that. I only want the folders where my photos are stored, like the Gallery on stock roms, etc. This Gallery is unusable because it takes forever to find the folder or picture I want having to scroll through everything. Surely there is a way to exclude folders, but I have searched every function I can locate and nothing seems to work short of deleting every image. And that is not a solution.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawstyle:
Hi!

I have just installed Windows 8 64bit on my PC. Now I want to use flashtool (flashtool-0.9.7.0-windows).

However, it's telling me that I need some drivers before I can flash my phone (xperia play r800i). I tried using this method:

However, I think that I'm failing miserably. I get this error (while installing the drivers in failsafe mode):

The drivers I am installing is:

"Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, Xperia Neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro IS11S, Xperia acro SO-02C drivers"

(From a list inside the program "C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe")

I also tried to do something listed on MSDN:

From: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsdeveloperpreviewgeneral/thread/941a4bf5-84d3-4bc3-88c6-96f30b787a3c/

But that failed too. Didn't really give me anything but the same error.

I am using Flashtool 64, since I'm on a 64 bit computer.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED!

/edit

When I try to execute the drivers in normal mode (ie. not fail safe) I get this:

" Driver name / status

[ ✓ ] Sony Ericsson (WinUsb) sa0102AdbDeviceClass (12/10/2010 2.0.0010.20010) / Ready to use

manually install them

report back

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDigitalPhantom:
I do not think windows 8 it self the problem. I tested flashing with flashtool 0.9.9.0 in a windows 8 VM, the driver appear to be installed and it attempted to flash, but the phone would disconnect before it could flash. I think the reason for that is the VM.

On my VM i have smartscreen and UAC turned off

the drivers i used are in my previous post

i installed flash tool and the drivers on windows 8 32 bit without any problem or errors or pop up security screens the only screen i got was the driver not verified by windows crap and just installed it anyway and worked fine...if u just want to flash your phone just install the flashmode and fastboot drivers dont worry about the xperia play driver...and dont forget to disable your antivirus
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusJZ:
I had a similar problem the other day while working on getting my r800at's fastboot to be identified in Flashtool. I did the same as you, regarding trying to install the Xperia Drivers from the flashtool app itself, but it didn't work.

What I did to successfully install drivers was use SuperOneClick. There should be an option in the Advanced Tab to "Check Drivers", and since it won't find any, it'll ask if you want it to forcibly install the drivers. Allow it to, and it should immediately have working drivers. This worked on a Windows 7 64-bit OS, I'm unsure of how it'll pan out with W8, but good luck.

If you have a backup of the stock rom you like to go back to I would recommend flashing Abyss4.2 kernel first which over a long time has been considered as safe with wipes and stable with install/restore (except for some backups made with cwm 6+).

After install of Abyss4.2 and rebooted recovery: perform a full wipe and restore your backup.

If you want a clean stock rom instead you can download one and install with Odin =)
