[HTC One S] propter delevit:
Hi everyone,

a couple of weeks ago I had to send my One S in for repair, as the soft keys (back/home/recent apps) were absolutely unresponsive (slightly off topic, but: this happened after I used the phone as a car GPS on a 13h road trip. Could this have caused it or was that just coincidence?).

Once I got it back, I re-rooted it and restored everything (system apps and data included) from a backup made shortly before I sent it in (using Titanium Backup). That, however, made my phone lose all push message capabilities, so I emptied the user and system app cache and deleted all user and system app data, which brought push capabilities back to life again. Yet, ever since then, the quick start icons (phone/sms/e-mail/camera) aren't showing up on my lock screen anymore and when I try changing background images in HTC's Personalization app, there are no images to chose from.

I'd like to try fixing this by restoring individual app data in Titanium Backup, but I wouldn't know which apps would be of interest here. Could anyone help me out with this?

Cheers,

uø

Seriously, it's the WORST written piece of garbage I've ever had the displeasure to use. Worse even than iTunes for Windows!

This is my first Sammy device, and though I love my N2, I really can't stand KiES. Right now, after installing it on my work laptop (XP SP3), it's sucking up 54% of the CPU time and all its doing is actually downloading the latest update. It's not even trying to install it yet!

54% CPU load to download a file is just taking the piddle.

Last night I installed it on my Windows 8 machine. All it did there was lag a lot, take over 5 minutes to connect to my N2, and then crash. Lots.

Whoever wrote this piece of ****e needs to be fired!
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
What Version number?

I don't use it myself but I had read that a new version had just been released.
[Galaxy Note II General] uvaman:
Who is still using KIES these days :D ? ODIN, Titanium, manager... But mostly agree, worst piece of s....
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Latest one.

As I said, this is my first ever Sammy. I've seen mention of ODIN around, and gather it's for flashing ROM's, but other than that I know nothing about it or where to get it...
[Galaxy Note II General] uvaman:
I saw 2000 posts so I thinked u would now still :) Just google ODIN and that's it there is new 3.04 version , very easy to use and that's only thing you need for flashing and 3 clicks to press.

You can also try with KIES AIR (need to download from samsung apps or play) kies air is using wifi connection between your laptop/mobile
[Galaxy Note II General] htc6500uk:
That's not the right answer!

It might be the latest one today but people who read this thread in future find answers like that rather un-helpful.

That's why software writers use version numbers so people know exactly what is being referred to.:)
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
I tend to stick to the fora I own devices for. ;) Takes time to get up to speed on new manufacturers... You get used to working one way, y'know? Still, have Googled ODIN and will grab it later tonight. Cheers. :)

Well, I suppose I could run it up again.... But that'll take a good half hour... :p

Seriously though... It IS the latest version... 2.5.0.12094_27, and it's a lemon!
[Galaxy Note II General] Medulla:
Just don't use Kies. That might read like I'm being facetious or reductive but I mean it as a serious suggestion because there's not a thing it does that can't be done another way. I'm about to be on my third Samsung device and my gf/sister are on their second and none of us have ever used it. It's not like iTunes where you really need to install and use it at least one; you genuinely never even need to think about it and can still do whatever you want.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Sure. But when I first get a new phone, I'll usually use it just like your average Joe user for a week or three to get a feel for it and the company. So far, loving the phone, but not so much its infrastructure!

Hell, my main reason for not wanting an iDevice is because of iTunes! :p
[Galaxy Note II General] aeonman:
still it would be nice to know the real back story behind why KiES is such a horrible mess.

There should be no reason for that, except maybe that there are soooo many countries and models of devices to connect to...

I don't know. With a product line this huge, there should be some semblance of reliability.

Actually, Korea in general, is way behind on software. You should see their #1 word processing program by Hansoft. Lord. And they are all still using only IE and XP over here. Its maddening.

And for my final smackdown...check out Naver and Daum search engines...you have to literally scroll through 2 pages of advertising before you come up with the site you were looking for. Try it.

They don't know any different. And they are less than hospitable to Google. I can't even access Drive from work. Sheesh.

:silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] comdinet:
Yesterday had to use it, for first time actually. Had 2 galaxy note's and no OTA update to 4.0.4.

General impressions = KIES is in competition with itunes. Problem is that competition goals are "Who can make worst software".

Abomination.
[Galaxy Note II General] gee2012:
Wow, thanks for sharing something that is allready commonly known mate ;) Kies has never worked well from the beginning till now. Biggest problems are the Samsung servers and usb drivers wich results in no downloads/upgrades and often the phone isn`t even recognized by Kies.
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
I thought this was common knowledge, but I'm gonna spit it out all the same:

Samsung:

- Great hardware manufacturer

- Not generally the best software creator

(although to be fair they do make some really good apps imho, such as the music player, s planner, and clock application to name only a three)
[Galaxy Note II General] dk206:
Very late to the party.

Had to put up with Samsung kies since the start of the original Galaxy S era 3 years ago...
[Galaxy Note II General] pakure:
first time sammy user....used to heavy modding on my htc hd2.......was trying desperately to root my note2,....at last could get it done after kies was uninstalled ..wasted my whole evening for a 1 minute job:mad:
[Galaxy Note II General] androidizen:
Ye it sucks hard, i dont use it prefer Odin if I need to flash and Titanium for all backup needs

Hi folks,

So, you wanna try the JB leak but want to use ICS after that? Yes, it's possible. Even if you upgraded your HBOOT. And quite simple.

1. First, make a full nandroid backup of your favourite ICS ROM.

2. Then follow the instructions provided by the JB-chefs.

3. Testdrive the JB ROM

4. Reboot your phone into recovery

5. Restore your nandroid backup

6. Reboot your phone

7. if there's a bootloop, then boot bootloader, then recovery and flash the boot.img provided by your ICS ROM-chef.

And that's all. I did this and it's working. Hope that helps other users as well.
[HTC One X] Sultan.Alkhuzaie:
What about the hboot no downgrade and no worries about that ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No the problem is that when you brick your device going to the new hboot there is no way back. There is no RUU with JB !

Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X
[HTC One X] lukacs.attila:
Indeed. But if you do exactly what the tutorial says, and follow the devs instructions, it's hard to brick your phone. Though it's possible...

Anyway, it's up to you... You should take the risk, or sit back, relax, and wait for the official JB RUU.

[HTC One X] Flow-Wolf:
HI :)

I get a big issue!

First of all thanks for your post!

2ndly, I got a One X with S-Off ;) yep lucky man!

But here is my issue:

I succeed in installing the Maximus custom rom :) And I am s-off so this is cool, but I have forget to use the update script.

So I decided to create a new zip with this update and flash it with the recovery!

But the flash aborted!

Once again, same result!

Then I say... Hum something wrong, I tried with the original custom rom.zip from Football! The installation aborted once again!

So I try to relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) succeed

Flash the PJ46IMG.zip (fastboot flash zip PJ46IMG.zip)

Unlock the bootloader (fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code_OneX.bin , I changed the name)

But since this moment my phone can't use fastboot command...

I have restarted the phone and no usb detection from the computer :s

and I try with fastboot usb: fastboot devices

Nothing

fastboot flash zip recovery.zip (waiting for device)

recovery and there is a phone with blue triangle!

I tried to use a RUU, but the phone is not detected by USB, so it doesn't succeed!

Then I do a factory reset... still nothing :s

I am locked with S-Off and can't use fastboot!

Do you have any idea about how I can do something???

Thanks for all your answers!

Flow.

Wow this sounds tricky.Have you tried moving to a different computer to see if it works there?
[HTC One X] mick1475:
Try reinstalling Android sdk drivers, the lot, on your PC.
[HTC One X] BlueJack22:
Can you flash any other rom based on ICS or other AOSP JB Roms with a ICS kernel like IceColdJelly?

Is the battery life better with the new hboot?
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
You should be able to revert to an ICS rom on the new hboot (reflash ICS boot.img and then restore nandroid backup) but apparently the AOSP roms don't work. Users on the new hboot and JB roms do comment that the battery life is much improved.
[HTC One X] Arthas92:
AOSP didn't work :(:(:(

flash aosp with the boot.img from rom -> stuck at HTC logo

flash aosp with the boot.img from 4.1.1 sense rom -> stuck at boot animation
[HTC One X] Rongogo:
Use a boot.img from insertcoin jb rom, and aosp wil work.

[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
That's exactly what my post said :cyclops: although per post above this one it can work with IC.

Need againto UNLOCK, you can use the FASTBOOT command!
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Yes, to unlock the bootloader you use the cmd: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin using the same unlock file you used the first time you unlocked.

Recovered ICS

Hi everybody

I updated the firmware to tried JB ROM InsertCoin 10.4.1 and this worked very well

Now the HBOOT is 1.23.0000

I decided to restore to ICS ROM and reflash de boot.img from ARHD 9.7.2 and I've copied this ROM into SDCARD and then I installed this ROM for Recovery and everything is working very well.

I tried to install Original RUU 2.17.401.2 and I wait for the Official JB Update but I could not. :mad:

- I did this method I flash the original boot

fastboot.exe flash boot boot_signed.img,

-I relock the device

fastboot.exe oem lock

- I've extracted the rom.zip from RUU and I sent to phone the rom.zip but I removed the hboot.img

adb reboot oem-78

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

I get an error about the signature of the zip

Nowadays I'm using the ARHD 9.7.2 and I like it

Excuse me if my english is so bad

Yes you can.

Any rom can run with the new hboot 1.23 it being ICS or JB.

So ICJ is included :)

What if I don't have a nandroid backup?

I am now running Android Revolution HD 10.4

Can anyone tell me whether just flashing CM10 or other AOSP Rom is possible without backup?
[HTC One X] -fluffy-:
even go back from hboot 1.28 works :)
[HTC One X] DanteGR:
So u flashed 1.28 hboot and u were still able to go back to ics right? Which ics rom if i may ask mate?

Thanks :)

[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
hboot 1.28 gives ability to use "old" kernels? For example, CM10 stock?
[HTC One X] -fluffy-:
i flashed the newest from baad

then when back

flashed my nandroid backup made a setup

there came no network

then i flashed the boot.img an it all worked like it didt before flashing the new HBOOT 1.28

i still have HBOOT 1.28 but running ice

an the rom is my own rom base 2.17
[HTC One X] leventccc:
I forgot to do a nandroid backup before flashing 1.28 hboot. Is there any other way to go back aosp derived roms?

as fare as i know there isnt

but u can see if there is someone there have a backup they will share with u
[HTC One X] ky3bmu4:
After finishing the steps in OP I stuck on the HTC logo as many others. Is there a possibility to revert from the Sense JB roms (like InsertCoin for example that I istalled) to the Official CM10 nightlies (which i have backuped)
[HTC One X] -fluffy-:
have u flashed the boot.img there came with the rom u are trying to downgrade to
[HTC One X] ky3bmu4:
yeah ofcourse (
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
AFAIK you can only go back to ICS, the CM10 roms don't boot on the new hboot versions.
[HTC One X] ky3bmu4:
Heh, thx for info so far... Wish I was more careful and read about it before trying the JB Sense roms, which are btw has no improvements at all. Sense is so slow and ruin everything ((

does it work on 1.28 or still need the one from mdeejay?

[HTC One X] gabrielvl:
yes , you cand flash. But u also can try this rom if u like it,is my favorite ics after viper x,but fo me it fits better.

Now i want to find a solution to upgrade to JB
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
No luck. Tried flash CM10 after restore - stuck on htc logo.
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
Try repacking the boot.img from the rom with this ramdisk file (courtesy of mdeejay) - Note while it should boot, GPS doesn't work.
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
Already did it. This is a nightmare. For now there is no one pure kernel that works with hboot 1.23 (I'm a little afraid to raise it to 1.28).
[HTC One X] gabrielvl:
not boot loop? remain in htc logo?

One more thing ..,you have to flash coot via adb

fastboot flash boot boot.img

boot.img u will find in the backup folder,becouse u have another boot.img on your device.Try now ...
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot erase cache

Stuck on htc logo with pure CM10 kernel. mdeejay's boot.img works.
[HTC One X] gabrielvl:
This backup is what i poivided to you? if that is not cm10 ,is rom renovate(backup from renovate 5.6

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705334 Here original thread.

And please tell exactly what u did.
[HTC One X] waz675:
Sounds like he is trying to boot an ICS ROM with CM10 kernel (jellybean)? If so, it's wrong. As the quote says, use the boot.img in the backup/renovate ROM (or any lateish ncx ics kernel, I think they're made with renovate ramdisk of late)
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
I'm tried ncx v9 beta5 AOSP - not works.
[HTC One X] waz675:
That's because *IF* you're trying to boot Renovate, you need his SENSE kernel + modules as AOSP is for Jellybean. i.e

SENSE

ncx_217_v9_beta5_SENSE

boot.img -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/qqmuiwvdt2rekax/ncx_217_v9_beta5_SENSE.img?m

modules -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/13g5gtp0objw307/ncx-217_v.9_SENSE_modules.zip?m
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
Sadly I don't like sense. And of course, I do not use any sense-based roms. CM10 is good. I will try CM10 + ncx_217_v9_beta5_SENSE and report.
[HTC One X] waz675:
Yeah, I'm not a great fan of SENSE, I actually installed Renovate ROM (have been using IceColdJelly for ages, really is the best ROM out of the 20 or 30 I've tried on this phone for me) just to verify if I am missing out anything not using SENSE, so far, the only thing positive for it compared to ICJ is it looks like it take better photos. Going to investigate that later when I'm free just to make sure since I'm using the ROM mainly for the photos atm, a few relatives far away want oceans of photos of our 2 kids ages 1 + 3.

On topic, yeah, even though you don't like SENSE, if you have installed the SENSE ROM backup to reload, you will need to use the boot file for a SENSE ROM to boot the phone so you can then copy and (full wipe if moving to JellyBean) installing something like CM10 or ICJ. But to successfully boot a phone, you need a matching kernel to the ROM it's trying to boot.

That is of course if you do have Renovate installed, I can't recall seeing if you actually specifically said "Yes, I am using the persons nandroid backup that is Renovate" or whatever.

Ok, back to playing host to people here!
[HTC One X] leventccc:
Flashed paranoid android 4.1.2 and ncx sense beta9 without any modules. It passed the htc screen and its on boot animation part. Adb works. I hope it will boot :)

Edit: Didn't boot. Stuck at boot animation

Edit2: Flashed aosp kernel modules of ncx kernel. Here is the logcat

http://pastebin.com/8WdY3yyL
[HTC One X] waz675:
Stop flashing AOSP (Jellybean) modules for a ICS kernel as it will most likely work.

You need to for an ICS flash:

Goto recovery:

Flash ICS modules

wipe cache

Dalvik-cache wipe might be good too since you were on a whole different ROM earlier before loading nandroid

Goto bootloader(only if you haven't flashed the boot.img obviously):

fastboot flash boot.img

fastboot erase cache

Then reboot, it *should work*

And as said, then you can work on downloading another ROM ('normal' Jellybean or ICS), flashing that properly and then go about using the phone how you want to. Flashing JellyBean modules (or no modules at all) when flashing a new ICS kernel/boot.img file or vice versa is just asking for trouble.

hello is there any way to revert to stock ics 4.0.4 from jelly??
[HTC One X] noahhomsky:
Can you give concrete example? boot, modules, ROM?
[HTC One X] waz675:
Well, it all depends on what you're doing. As from:

Are you using that backup for restoring or trying to boot another ROM (or backup)? I can't see any replies like that stating what you're exactly doing.

For clarifying sake, what have you done (I've posted the example kernel + modules earlier I am fairly sure that if you are doing nandroid backup) but anyway, let us know what you've done so we can help!
