I use it to check the facemachine once a week and read from xda once every couple days. I text more then call in my personal life and call guys I work with a lot at work, my work phone sucks and is slow so I use the personal for everything but calling customers (cable guy). I think most of my time is spent just reading the BBC and other news or googling somthing. Occasionally I'll put something on netflix or spotify when I'm in the garage working on something. I guess it's unnecessary for me to have all the power and Ubuntu installed on it but I dig it. Makes up for my lack of manhood the same as people who buy ridiculous things like 200bhp lawnmowers and AR15's with night vision scopes for deer hunting. :D

I can understand wondering why you got a high end phone when a three year old phone would do. My wife and I have always gotten the same phone, but not this round. She loves her Kindle Fire. It does everything she needs, so her new phone is more mid-level, while I got the S3 (last week, upgrading from the T-Mo MyTouch 4G- it was a great phone, but I'm still impressed with how much better the S3 is).

Hello

I have a Lapdock with my motorola atrix.

It is possible to play a movie from a usb key ?? (With the Entertainment Center)

thank's !!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemare:
Yes you can

I don't see why not....

If you use the Gallery to found the video, maybe it will no appear there. You should use file manager to find the file and double click on it to see the movie. It will start in the phone window.

You can try other galleries programs.

Rooting- error: cannot load "flashboot flash recovery r1-modaco-reco... .img"

I'm rooting my HTC One S the first time. And I was stupid and thought that HTC One X Clockworkmod flash would work.

Now I know how flashing and clockworkmod installing works but before that I accidentally flashed the One X command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img" and now when I go to recovery it gives me a red text and nothing works.

I searched everywhere for a guide to remove it and did not found. So I thought I could flash it over with an One S flash, but then when I entered the command: "fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img" It gave me this: "error: cannot load 'recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img'. My phone is connected perfectly, when I type 'fastboot devices' it shows me my phone is there.

So I think this is not a big problem for developers. Can anyone tell me what to flash or do to get rid of the One X recovery? Otherwise I just have to live with a phone with unlocked Bootloader and no access to root :(
[HTC One S] edscholl:
Do you have the IMG I the directory from which you are running fast boot?
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
Ofcourse
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
mabey I should just do a factory reset :/
[HTC One S] :
Why don't you dl goo manager from market, open it and open menu and tap on Install OpenScriptRecovery and let it install twrp--although, I guess if you aren't rooted yet that won't work

Did you try fastbooting the cwmr from here--

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Did you check the md5 on the modaco recovery before flashing

At the red text did you try hitting vol+ or vol- not sure which one takes you to stock recovery. What does red text say--

Did you hard reboot with holding down vol- and power at same time then release pwr after screen goes off and continue to hold vol-

Not sure what is wrong, just giving some ideas--
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
Tyvm for your reply,

the cwmr for HTC One S does not exist any more on the page you gave me. There's only a blank page if you click on it :P

yes I did hard reboot and the red text says: This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply my lead to legal action.

I tried the superboot from this site: htt p://w ww.m odaco.co m/to pic/352493-how-to-root-your-htc-one-s-for-windows-mac-and-linux/

This just brought up the recovery message again...

Then I tried flashing these files:h ttp://ww w.m odaco.c om/topic/353006-interim-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/

no help.

Any other ideas I should try?

However the flashing went through this time and there were no error, but the recovery is still f**ked.
[HTC One S] :
Try this twrp .img

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/100

The red text will stay till you relock, I believe, or flash stock recovery--
[HTC One S] addsfsds:
twrp recovery is the way to go. Me too I couldn't install the clockwork one!
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
I flashed the "openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img". Didnnt change anything :/
[HTC One S] :
sorry to hear that, not sure what else to do, so you still have onex recovery?

even if you run an ruu, i think you still have to flash the stock recovery first. haven't read up on that much, as never needed to run one

Don't know if trying to flash the stock recovery will help. I have the original one at home, but not sure if that is what they still call stock recovery with new ota's having come out
[HTC One S] usaff22:
If it cannot load it, you probably spelt the name wrong. rename the image file to recovery.img (make sure it isn't .img.img) and flash that. Make sure the file path is correct! (e.g fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Me\Desktop\recovery.img)
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
no no, the flashing finished successfully. I entered "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img" and then it flashed without problems, but in the phone it didn't change a thing. If I enter recovery then there's the android icon with a white background and under it is the red text.

But keep guessing, maybe I really am doing something stupid wrong :P

When I go to Fastboot USB mode with my phone then I open the command prompt and firstly type "cd c:\CWM" (the folder where my flashing files are). Then secondly I type "fastboot devices" (just to be shure). And thirdly depending on what I am flashing I type "fastboot flash recovery name.img". I have tried "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img", "fastboot flash recovery r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville" and "fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed". Every one of them finishes successfully but doesn't change anything in the phone. I already have recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-ville.zip and CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip in my phones directory to install root when I get into the recovery. In the C:\CWM folder in my computer are these files:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

fastboot.exe

(these where exctracted from fastboot.zip)

openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img

r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img

ville_recovery_signed.img
[HTC One S] stunner2002:
the text won't disappear with unlocked bootloader, so that's ok.

Try to boot into bootloader hit fastboot reboot bootloader and then choose recovery. It can take a while to boot into recovery.

Gesendet von meinem HTC One S mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
fastboot ->reboot bootloader ->bootloader ->recovery. Absolutely no change, It took half a second to bring up the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and about two seconds for the red text to appear under it. No buttons work after that and I just have to hold the power button down to shut it down.

And by bootloader is unlocked!
[HTC One S] frdd:
As stunner said above it can take a while to boot into recovery, how long have you waited?

Give it a few minutes... Also you could try flashing stock recovery, it is distributed in the all-in-one tool and also in paulobriens posts about superboot. Then run a RUU.

But my best to would be to try fastboot booting a custom recovery, "fastboot boot cwm.img".
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
If this is the thing where you go int recovery for a millisecond and then back to the 'red text' screen (you have to watch carefully to notice), you should try erasing your cache in fastboot mode.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] :
It's gotten a little confusing and some suggestions are being repeated. I wonder if the android icon you are describing is the stock recovery symbol. At that screen have you tried to press vol+ or maybe volume-. I forget which one takes you to stock recovery. May want to check on that.

Also, have you tried typing "fastboot boot recovery" to go straight to recovery, bypassing htc restrictions

Here is very early stock recovery--not sure if it is still considered "stock" with new versions out now--I did mention that earlier--

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/go28kc1NeP/ville_recovery_signed.img

I did have issues fastbooting recovery before. You can as mentioned try fastboot erase cache before fastbooting recovery. And change the name of your recovery to just recovery.img before you fastboot.

I assume you have nandroid backup on phone and copies of it and sdcard backup on pc.

I think when I had issues with recovery sticking it was my N1 and I typed "fastboot erase system" first, then fastbooted recovery. Then wiped all and restored nandroid. I am not sure we can do that on the 1s with no s-off. Someone else may know.

Can you access sdcard where you could reformat it fat32 thru a windows formatter program. Of course copy all to pc first. Sometimes sdcard formats help things you wouldn't expect it to.

Some folks have reported formatting works better thru phone on the 1s, maybe because it is an internal card. I did it once and think I had to redo it thru phone. But, if it gets recovery working, no big deal.

All these are suggestions and as the devs say--at your own risk--

I thought you said you said in first post, phone works, just no root capabilty. If that is true it should be fixable--I hope.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

you should also have adb.exe if you are using adb--
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
Okay I waited for 10 minutes, nothing happens. I've even tried to hold down all the button combinations(with the three buttons) for a few minutes.

I've tried flashing everything and fastboot boot just takes me directly to the recovery with the red text. I flashed both the recoveries in the all-in-one tool.

As I know absolutely nothing about RUU(only what the letters stand for) then I'd rather not do that because I read from some threads that RUU has quite a high chance to mess up your phone. Or if you direct me to a tutorial that u insure me that is 100% good then I could give it a go : D
[HTC One S] luccos:
[

I think I have made ​​the same mistake of flash recovery, but I can not get into cwm recovery, I only appear for 1 second the recovery, then restarts and returns to the operating system. SD card, all changes are discarded when you restart the phone, which is also only if I try to install or remove some utility. Can not install any recovery, even if fastboot works well and looks real mind install the recovery but when I reboot, it returns to its previous behavior, with recovery not working. I tried to install the recovery in every way, from fastboot, from All in one with quickroot, but none of these operations has changed the state of the system.

Unfortunately you can not install a Stock RUU because the bootloader unlocked and the recovery is not the stock, and especially not when there is no tutorial to follow to bring this situation to the ONE S, to its original state

Hopefully someone will be able to find a solution to your and my problem.
[HTC One S] :
One option you guys may need to entertain, if applicable, would be to exchange phones with Carrier. Worth a shot--

I have not heard of this exact issue, but most comments say if you can't boot to recovery you are bricked--
