hand holding isn't recommended . a search could bring you results. there are tons the of guides out there.

anyway....

1 . Download a recovery of your choice. also download the superuser zip.

2.put the recovery in the same folder as fastboot.

3.put superuser zip in your sd card.

4.open cmdline on your computer

5.cd /path to fastboot

6.fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery). img

7.flash superuser zip that was in your sd card in recovery

8.???

Backup the HTC Tasks widget ?

Has anyone here been using the HTC's Tasks widget ?

If yes, is there a way to backup its notes/ to-do lists somehow before rooting ?

The longer way to do that would be to copy paste all the to-do list, one by one, for all pages to an email or some note taking app.

Thanks

AFAIK there is no known method.

maybe you can try to backup the files with Herlium (former known as carbon). This app does not require root for backiung up data of apps.

seems so. probably time to move to Gtasks or Any.do or Wunderlist.

A security related question - if I let GTasks manage by google tasks and provide my gmail's password, is that safe ?

or should i rather make a separate Any.do or Wunderlist account or a separate gmail a/c for tasks (but that would be inconvenient).

thanks

Is there any tweak or fix for live wallpaper lag ? No matter what rom , phone will always lag with a live wallpaper,,
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
As someone has sugested somewhere before:

1. use lwp's not biger than 1 mb- and preferably even smaller

-in lwp settings try to reduce number of frames per second

-try to reduce picture quality ( 32 bit-> 16 bit )

2. Use supercharger script, if you are so keen on a lwp running on your device,

3. try to assign higher priority to the process, so that all else except launcher and lwp

will be anihilated, when memory resources'll reach critical point..;)

Edit: funny,... sometimes I'm using < dynamical ripples lwp > running on

viper rom, and haven't expearienced any ui lags so far...

on the other hand , using neither heavy social apps or games, nor any background data syncing ( ussualy )

I have been a lurker on the forums for a number of years but don't post that often.

I am currently running Andromadus [21] (clean flash), stock kernel, S-OFF.

Problem is not specific to this ROM as it has happened before on other ROMs (don't remember which).

My problem is thus:

When I enter a number or select a contact to call from the default Phone app (or from say the default Messaging app) and hit call, the Phone app closes to the home screen. It doesn't force close nor present any error messages. If at this point I hold Home to open the recent app menu it shows 2 Phone instances. To solve the problem I reopen the Phone app, dial the number again and hit call, it returns to home and this will repeat around 20/30 times until it finally works and starts the call as normal. Please help me, it is driving me mad.

I have included a CatLog output for your reference.

This is a dupe post from my own thread but I thought it might get some more attention in here.

upgrade ics to jelly bean htc desire s

Hello, firstly I am an amateur at this and I'm asking for anyone to help me update from ICS to Jelly Bean on my HTC Desire S handset. I upgraded to ICS from the HTC Dev website. Today I was trying to root the handset in recovery mode at the top I had "Locked" below the other sub menus. Is there a way that I can upgrade to Jelly Bean from ICS. I would need a step by step as my phone is not rooted either.

to avoid some incompatibilities with certain ROMs (although I've not done this yet but I understand that most use it).

Then choose the JB ROM/s you would like to use.

I would suggest you read the above threads carefully, gather the stuff you need and have an understanding of what you've to do before starting.

The problem doesn't occur 100% of the time and when it does sometimes it only takes a few attempts, others is can take 20+. Might it be a radio issue? or should I look for another Phone.apk?

Well you could try the radio and framework from the ics ruu, amidabuddha created a flashable version. Im stumped other than that because as you said, it has happened on more than one rom

[HTC Desire S] karlj38:
Well I'm not 100% certain it has happened on other ROMs. I have flashed a variety of ROMs in the past including older versions of Andromadus. I never really much paid attention as to when it occurred. So it maybe that it has only ever occurred on this ROM or it could have happened on others. I assumed it was not ROM specific as its happened a lot but I may well be wrong. Sorry if that confuses things.

Urgent

I'm not sure what state is it about my desire s

I just wanted it to work again

I used the desire s toolkit

unlocked the bootloader,installed the recovery

however i realised i can't boot up with custom rom due to s-on

but I've already wiped the stock rom

I tried to Use RUU to revert to stock

but it doesn't work ( ruu main version is older)

what should i do?

Helium looks nice, but unfortunately for the phone client it requires Android 4+. while I am on 2.3.5

good evening gentelmen:D

I`ve quick question

device is: s- off probably stock, but with locked bootloader,

in order to flash recovery, roms etc...

- does its bootloader need to be unlocked?

-if so, could it be unlocked with command

fastboot oem unlock

only, or are there ussual steps needed to unlock it

If you're s-off it shouldn't matter about the bootloader

and when it was made s- off, i`ve never had a chance to test

how stock, locked bootloader behaves on such device...

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Neither have i, I've only heard about stock s-off. Would be nice to hear what happens, worst that can happen i suppose is you have to unlock the bootloader. It's only my understanding that if it's factory s-off is doesn't matter about the bootloader because it's already security off (if that makes sense)

[HTC Desire S] karlj38:
I decided as a test, to wipe all and flash just the ROM and the gapps, no additional apps or flashes and the problem doesn't seem to be happening.

I then flashed pimp my rom beats, pimp my rom x-loud and pimp my rom bravia (as I normally would). And it's still fine.

Which leads me to believe that the problem looks to be caused by either an installed app but not the phone.apk itself or arises from a uninstalled system apps. Do you think this may be true?

It is most peculiar as I haven't been able to find anyone with the same issue.

Re: device s- off, locked bootloader

Good evening:D

It seems, locked bootloader on an s- off device,

allows to flash to any of the device's partitions,

by: PG88IMG.zip method...( probably even an ENG HBOOT itself )

While flashing via fastboot- it throws the

< FAILED <remote:not allowed>

error...

so, as an assumption: to push files to any/ some (?) of the nand partitions- via fastboot,

on an s- off device, its bootloader probably

needs to be unlocked as well as on an s- on one...

whether such bootloader is willing to be unlocked by:

fastboot oem unlock

command, or other measures are be taken to do so,

is the knowledge to be obtained yet....

Perhaps somebody with similar phone and expeariences,

could comment this post,

so, the info might latter help others, to resolve such rare- yet not uncommon cases....
[HTC Desire S] paulie-uk:
It would be much more preferable to put on an ENG hboot, rather than unlocking bootloader (and therein telling HTC).

As PG88IMG.zip method works, if they only want a custom recovery/ROM then there is no need to use "fastboot flash" at all.

You don't have to flash the su zip, CM is rooted.

Was there a su request popping up?

Open the Superuser menu in the system settings and enable root access for apps and adb if you want.

If it still doesn't work, then try a different app. (AdAway, a root checker, esfile explorer or something)

If you still don't get root access, then try a other su app.

Edit: fixed the post...

the only real solution would be to flash su, but u did that. its a problem that shouldnt of happened in the first place, the only thing i can think of is re download the rom, full wipe and try flash it again, it could just of been a dodgy download. happens sometimes. iv seen it before in the Desire section and people flash a rom and they r missing some apps then others say that all the apps r there so only suggests a bad download.

I am little bit confused

now

I used htc desire s all in one kit hsoon2000

I want to install this rom Vanilla ICE AOKP

my hboot=2.02.0002

I couldnt find how to s-off for my hboot version

are s-off and root same things ?

if it is not

whic one should be done first

root or s-off

in hsoon2000 it says flash a recovery but I didnt s-off and rooted my phone can I still flash a recovery

as I know not every recovery support every rom so for Vanilla ICE AOKP which recovery should I use
[HTC Desire S] VnnAmed:
1. Flash recovery. You can use twrp from hasoon's kit or even better, download the one from my signature.

2. When you have custom recovery, you can flash super su/root. It will not give you S-Off, but you don't really need it. The only difference is that when you have s-on you have to flash boot.img manually. To get boot.img you have to open ROM zip (vanilla in your case) and extract it. After flashing ROM from recovery you have to go to bootloader and flash boot.img (you can do it through hasoon's kit) before you restart your device.

If you have any more doubts please ask.

Open the rom zip and look for "boot.img". It should be there when u open the rom zip, if not, look in system folder or devices folder, its there somewhere, then when u find it, drag/drop it to ur C:\ drive . Then in recovery, full wipe and flash the rom, once thats finished boot straight into fastboot. Then plug in ur phone to computer and open fastboot command window and type

fastboot flash boot C:\boot.img

Then reboot ur phone and enjoy :)

Ps: make sure boot.img u use is for Saga, coz some roms support other devices too. Should be in Saga folder.

Seeing as your still s-on you should be fine flashing the boot.img first because the rom can't flash the kernel during install.
