[HTC One X] cordell507:
I always wipe data, cache, system, and dalvik cache before I flash any rom. Just make sure to back up
[HTC One X] icke:
In most of the cases it is not necessary to factory reset your phone when U just update the rom itself (unless rom chef is saying it explicitly to full wipe)

Just flash boot.img in fastboot and then erase cache.

In CWM erase cache and dalvik flash rom and then fix permission.

For your market issue: system settings->apps->all->google play store->force stop->clear data. Reboot and look if it's working again.
[HTC One S] brandontamas:
ok so i wanted to put stock sense 4.0.4 one my one s its the tmobile us version and i already had a unlocked bootloader and rooted so i relocked it nicely but when i went back it to fastboot/bootloader it says ****TAMPERED**** ****RELOCKED**** ****SECURITY WARNING**** and i tried to go into twrp but nothing just bots back to fastboot/bootloader and i tried to flash cwm image and it says this

./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.1-ville.img

sending 'recovery' (6614 KB)... OKAY

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

and nothing can anyone help at all?
[HTC One S] Ksunnyv1011:
I recommend using an RUU to return back to stock completely. What is the H-Boot version you have?
[HTC One S] brandontamas:
i have 1.09.0000 hboot and my fastboost wont work on my laptop i cant install htc sync cause some problem with win 7 64 bit so i cant do that
[HTC One S] Rampage:
For me it works on 64 bit win7

If I helped in any way please hit thanks
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Run an RUU.

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] Ksunnyv1011:
You don't need HTC sync, just download the drivers, and this way fastboot will work. Then run the RUU 1.84 while in fastboot and it should update.
[HTC One S] brandontamas:
ok i tired to use the ruu and it failed and i called htc and im just going to get it fixed by theme thanks for trying guys
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
You will most likely end up with a higher hboot with more restrictions.

As long as you can get into hboot/fastboot, you're not bricked. I don't believe it is ever necessary to re-lock and ruu. Especially on lower hboots. It may sometimes be necessary to flash a stock recovery, but that's it.

What I think you should have done (I realize that this is not helpful to you anymore at this point, but maybe interesting to others) is format system, data, cache, and then just flash the system and boot images from the RUU and SuperSu in recovery.

You could even have flashed all images from the RUU in recovery (system, boot, radio, adsp, wncss, rpm, tz).

-Jobo
[HTC One S] brandontamas:
Well I tried flashing a boot image from a rom and nothing it says security warning and doesn't flash
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
As long as you're (re-)locked, you can't flash anything.
[HTC One S] dnwong:
I was able to RUU 1.84 version, however, all I get is the HTC white screen and then reboot over and over again.

Hello,

the trophy is stuck on the htc logo, I tried to flash this rom "RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.00_Spark_5.54.09_RELEASE" in bootloader but I have an error message (Invalid ModelID), then I tried to flash it with this ruu "RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Spark_5.52.09_RELEASE" I got the error message 262 and 264

Then I'm trying unbrand it like in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10176994#post10176994

but it does not work for me, the phone must be used as memory card reader but can not connect as that

So I would like to know if there is an alternative to the phone work again

thank you
[Trophy General] TheXev:
This online guide will help you build the "Goldcard" wire that is required. It is much easier to do then cutting USB cables apart. In that guide, you buy wires and plug everything in, no cutting required. You also don't need a 2nd phone to use as a card reader, instead this guide uses a SDCard reader. I hope this helps. I also hope google can translate this into your language so you can understand. :)
[Trophy General] octopus82:
Thank's dude

I bought today the HD7 unlock cable , but this

method

does'nt work, and I dont now if the phone need an flash boot with the riff box now

What do you think ?
[Trophy General] TheXev:
If your phone connects as a USB drive but doesn't start flashing rom, first rename rom image to the name in the guide (i think it is spark.ruu), then run bootloader format tool. 2nd guide has tools that are easier to use but still work with cable you have. Are you using a phone for SD Card, or an SD Card reader?
[Trophy General] octopus82:
Thank's

I renamed the file spark ..., I use a memory card reader, and I start the phone in usb host mode, but nothing happens so far as it is said in the tutorial, even in bootloader mode
[Trophy General] octopus82:
After my latest post, the phone tried to read the sd card, but it says : no file image found; when I go to home I'll try to put another ruu image and I'll change the way to do an goldcard, and I hope that's working
[Trophy General] octopus82:
Now after a minute the phone usb host mode shows "Loading ..." but still like that, so I do not know if this is the phone that does not respond well or if the cable is not too good, because I've seen on video, flashing happening very quickly

what do you think of it?
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Now that you have named the .ruu to Spark.ruu, then (step 2) use bootloader tool to install bootloader.

If not done in that order, GoldCard will not work correctly. You can probably have it working after doing this!
[Trophy General] octopus82:
Thank's

When I try to to use bootloader tool I have this message

"[Error Description]:

OSPL detected. Please run RSPL launcher first!

[Info]: USBWorkHSPL.cpp (286)"

And when I try to use RSPL tool I have this:

"[Error Description]:

This installer supports only limited number of the phones.

SPARK, MOZART, MONDRIAN, GOLD, SCHUBERT.

If you have phone from this list, but still have this error, please contact with DFT team.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (235)

[Error Description]:

[Trophy General] TheXev:
Oh, you do not need special cable to run that program (regular USB works fine), but you need to do bootloader downgrade first. Can you take a picture of your three color boot screen? It will look similar to this:

disable Ad-blocker to see this picture).

You may probably need to downgrade bootloader first.

If you have successfully downgraded the bootloader, then you must make sure you you are using DFT_XSPL_WP7FG3.rar, and run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG3_LAUNCH.exe, then run DFT_HSPL_WP7FG3_INSTALL.exe after.
[Trophy General] octopus82:
Thank's

My bootloader is 1.29...., dont need any downgrade I think; but I see that you've give me an G3 RSPL, and that I used is G1, and I dont used the G2

But now the phone is in my friend repair hardware; he will repair boot with the riff box; and now I want to try ti install de G3 rspl to see the result

Thank's
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Are you missing the "USB/Serial" in the white part?
[Trophy General] octopus82:
no, there is

Thank's
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I wish I had this exact phone to test. lol

Yeah, you need a bootloader that matches the OS version (or you install HSPL). With your bootloader version, you should be able to install HSPL with that bootloader. If not, try a rom that is version 1.10.
[Trophy General] octopus82:
I tried this rom, but I got "error 266 and 264"

[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Anyone using this? I like it better than Antutu. The only thing my phone doesn't kill it at is the complex 3D. Guess I'll have to start looking into tweaks to get that score up if at all possible. I saw in the comments section on the Play Store that users of several different phones were complaining about low scores in that test.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Benchmarks aren't very accurate. They run like a normal app so they get limited by the OS in what they can do. A true benchmark would be a separate ROM that only does benchmarking. That way it could use all system resources to test the hardware.
[HTC Rezound] scy1192:
We're always going to have relatively poor graphics performance due to our 1280x720 screens and last-gen Adreno 220 that was made to handle qHD (0.52 million pixels) not 1280x720 (0.92 million pixels)
[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
Hmm, never heard of this. Any link to this info?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Yep, my wife's galaxy proclaim gets a higher 3d score simply because it draws like a fifth of the pixels my rezound does lol.

But seriously I've learned to not trust benchmarks, if it's smooth then it's fast enough

Just seen the Open webOS ported to the Galaxy Nexus on xda's front page.

I know its early days for Open webOS now but, I really enjoy using it on my Pre.

[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
Oh god yes. I want webOS on this thing - just for multitasking alone. Android doesn't even come close (and yes, I tried V6 supercharger, mcTweaker, changing my kernel, Overskreen, changing OOM values, ROM Toolkit, all the build.prop tweaks, Startup Manager, Autokill Memory Manager)
[Nexus 7 General] zim2dive:
I had a Touchpad for a while.. WebOS was nice... was always missing too many need applications to be able to use it all the time, but I truly did enjoy it.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
Well, apparently there's a Dalvik emulator coming out soon - so Android apps will appear, just like on Blackberry Playbook.

Besides, I really like how webOS is closer to proper Linux - to the point where people can run distros as cards.
[Nexus 7 General] sprogurt:
Thank god it's not just me wanting this, fingers crossed the team behind the nexus port releases their methods and findings soon.

I've been lurking around this since I heard the news of open webOS, well this and native Linux :P.
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
We need a WebOS/Android hybrid.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
Well, that'll take a lot of work - pretty much the only similarity between Android and webOS is the Linux kernel.

However apparently there is some sort of an emulator in development.

Im sure it wont be long before we see it on the N7, I am no wiz when it comes to this but I would assume that if it is possible to get it working on the Nexus then it shouldnt be to much more of an effort to get it going on the N7 being in the Nexus family and all.

Oh boy. I haven't heard seen a good android multitasking vs webos 'true' multitasking thread I years. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
that's because they get overrun by android fanboys that can't accept that their os isn't perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] edscholl:
EVERYBODY knows android isn't perfect. Thing is, only people who don't understand code says stuff like android doesn't have 'true multitasking.' It's different than webos (though not all that much in truth), which is fine.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
Here we go again. If Android had true multitasking, apps would continue to work in the background, so a YouTube video would keep playing and etc.

Android caches apps in RAM, and easily kicks them out when it wants to. You say that that is fine, but I disagree.

I am sick of having to waste bandwidth because Android decided to kill my browser when I switched to Twitter, forcing it to reload pages when I return.

I am sick of losing text I typed. I am sick of having to go all the way into settings just to kill an app I started on accident.

And don't even give me the usual "it's all app dev's fault" bull**** - almost every app behaves like this.

You may be fine with Android's idea of multitasking, but I am not. I can see why they did this on phones, battery life and all, but we're speaking about a tablet here.

I'd expect to be able to manage apps like on a proper computer while using a tablet.

Nexus 7 has 1GB of RAM - my previous tablet had 256, and it still managed to multitask just fine.
[Nexus 7 General] TheSpaceManatee:
How about you go get a surface tablet man.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
You sound just like an Apple fanboy, they always told me to get an Android when I was unhappy with something. So I did. And look where I am now.
[Nexus 7 General] TheSpaceManatee:
No I'm an Android fanboy am I'm telling you to get a Windows.
[Nexus 7 General] edscholl:
For fuggs sake, yes. And your comments show your misunderstanding.

That is a function of the app, not the system. OS X and safari does the same, BTW, but would you say that is x lacks true multitasking? I would hope not...

Some of it is the app developers decision (not fault, but design decisions) - frankly, most people probably WANT YouTube videos to pause when the leave the app, so Google designed it that way. I sure don't want videos playing in the background.

But yes, android does more aggressively kill processes than webos. But you act like webos never did it (it did - you don't recall the browser card greying out and reloading? That was because it had been killed), or that 'too many cards open' is a message most users would prefer seeing vs mostly transparent aggressive killing off background processes. Hell, the new htc's are even more aggressive than stock android in killing processes, and our know the result? Reviews that praise ow responsive they are...

Look, webos was awesome in many ways. But it's multitasking wasn't any 'truer', jus different, and not necessarily better. Go ahead and say you like it better, but don't be the idiot that goes on about how it's true multitasking and others aren't, because it's simply incorrect.

I'm fine with you not being fine with it. Just don't be the idiot making bogus technical clams. ;)

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------

Hmm, sounds like people don't want you around. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
My definition of true multitasking is that apps continue to run while they aren't being used (in the background), and don't get killed by the OS, just like on a proper desktop OS.

I'll be honest, I didn't get a chance to play with webOS for too long, so I didn't see the browser card issue - but I'd rather get the 'too many apps' message, instead of Android randomly killing whatever it wants.

And god damn, stop being such an asshole.

No need to call me an idiot because I disagree.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Here's a simpler question. How do I keep my browser in RAM?

Just now I wanted to see how much RAM it uses, and by the time I actually opened settings, it got killed.

My browser getting killed and pages get reloaded when I come back is the biggest problem that I have.

If your precious Android is so amazing at multitasking, why can't I make it keep the browser alive?
[Nexus 7 General] edscholl:
If you want it to run like a desktop is, you should use a desktop is. But even then, you may not get what you want (I already gave you the example of os x and YouTube).

I used webos over a year. Killing processes in the back and resuming them is way better than the too many cards crap. Especially since dismissing cards (even all of them!) didn't guarantee you'd be able to open more! And as I said, webos WOULD a times kill browser processes and force reloads.

To be fair, I don't think I called you an idiot - you ARE saying some idiotic things though, and that's said not because of your opinion (differences are fine), but your use of meaningless terms that try to appear technical.

My precious android? That's going to be your argument? :rolleyes:

The overly simple answer to your question is to not leave apps open. Go ahead and kill them like you go on webos, which you didn't use much. ;) but again, webos WOULD a times kill browser processes and force reloads.
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
I used Mac OS for 4 years, and I have never had any YouTube issues. Though considering where Apple is going with Mac OS, I wouldn't that surprised.

Okay, webOS was a bad example.

Doesn't change what I want, though - to manage running apps myself, instead of the OS.

So you seem to really dislike the term 'true multitasking'.

How else should I describe what I want to achieve, then? And don't give me some sarcastic crap, please.

That's the solution you offer? Don't run other apps? How would I achieve that, considering how there is no easy way to kill an app - swiping away just removes it from the list, and rarely actually closes it.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

And maybe we should stop derailing this thread.

We can continue here.
[Nexus 7 General] edscholl:
I dislike out it because it is a meaningless, made up term masquerading as technical jargon. That's not sarcastic, it is fact.

What you want is whatever app you want running at your chosen priority , which doesn't even really exist in windows.

It is about as good as you get with a non windows tablet at this time as they all work the same way, unless you want to mod android yourself. And as a test, earlier I swiped away all apps except for firefox, chrome, and overdrive, and left the browsers alone for over an hour while I read. When I went back to them, neither reloaded.

Your only real option is probably a windows tablet (non rt if win 8) since you want it to act like a desktop os.
[Nexus 7 General] TheSpaceManatee:
I second that lol maybe you should create your own perfect OS you hedgehog
[Nexus 7 General] mstrk242:
Instead of the pointless bickering, how about some facts? :)

http://mobworld.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/memory-management-in-android/

Read this article, the whole thing. It's a pretty good, although basic, rundown of how memory management works. At the end, it talks about process states, this is what's relevant here. The app controls, for the most part, what state it runs in. If you want multitasking as in the background always run, like on a pc for example, all applications will have to be continually in an active state. One of the earlier posts I read used Youtube as an example, saying it should still play in the background. Well, this is how wakelock's happen, and why poorly written apps drain the battery/interfere with other parts of the system. Some apps, mostly launchers, have the option to "keep app in memory", or something similar. This keeps the process in an active state, and it'll therefore be running continually in the background. For almost all applications, there is absolutely no point in writing them this way.

You don't think android multitasks truly, huh? Try this, I do it almost every day in my car:

Turn on an mp3, and google maps, navigating me to a customer's place. Plus, if I am at a stoplight or something simliar, and I open up a 3rd app, the turn by turn directions and mp3 are both still going, with the map/gps keeping my location up to date. How is this not true multitasking?

Sorry for the hijack, this is after all a thread about open webOS.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I know I'm continuing the insanity, but I'm trying to figure out what the hell Hedgehog is talking about? Right now I have Tune-in Radio Pro streaming music from my local radio station, while Dolphin has a web page loaded and I can switch between Tapatalk and Dolphin and nothing needs to "reload" or whatever.

Am I not understand his umm... issue, or what? I mean I know I can't just out out of an active movie playing on Netflix but it stops the movie by design of the app...that's nothing to do with Android the OS.

:confused:
[Nexus 7 General] SilverHedgehog:
I did the same thing, and they reloaded.

Honestly? I wish I could.

There are apps that I need to never get killed, ever, but I can't get that to happen no matter what I do.

Android's way of multitasking works for most apps, but not all of them, for instance, browsers.

Sometimes, Android will close them in the background, which is very annoying to me.

So what I wanted was to make it so that the user killed background apps, and not Android.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

See, my problem is that the user is not in control. It's either the app or the OS that decides what runs in the background.

I'm not really happy with that - because somehow it's always the app that I need that gets killed.

On iOS there was this tweak called Backgrounder, it allowed to let the user manage app states manually. I have no idea why such thing doesn't exist for Android.

In the end it all comes down to one problem - my browsers getting killed and tabs reloading. I checked - browsers get set as 'empty apps', which means that they get killed first.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
It's funny that everyone I know who bought a Touchpad during the firesale... are doing all they can to get Android on and WebOS off.
