Hi,

i'm having several issue with Pacman v23 on Desire S:

1) Random reboots, sometimes, in the middle of daily use, it just reboot itself, 'nuff said;

2) When changing some settings related to status bar or notification, the status bar crash and the desktop wallpaper disappear, there's no way to bring them back, unless i reboot the phone, that leads to problem #3;

3) When rebooting, icons on desktop loose their name, replaced with "java name" (eg. slide.cameraZoom.CameraZoomActivity). This happens only for installed apps, not for system like Gmail or Settings.

Beside that (!) the ROM is fine, JB is awesome, but these bugs makes me go insane :eek:

Make a Clean install by wiping all partitions except SD card. and try to reflash the Rom.... and make sure you are on updated kernel .. most of weird issues are solved this way... take a nandroid backup first...
[HTC Desire S] devinfriday:
Thanks, actually i already did a clean install (format system/cache/dalvik) twice but the problems reappears the same way. For kernel i don't know which one to take, my DS has a MDDI panel, any suggestion?
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Need some advice.

My hboot is 7.xx and recovery is 4ext rc9. I tried installing the different version of the last ics miui, but i kept getting booted back into the recovery.

1 - I did a full wipe(except sd) > flash rom > restart > rebooted back into recovery

2 - full wipe > flash rom > flash custom kernel > restart > rebooted back into recovery

3 - full wipe x 2 > restart recovery > flash rom > restart > rebooted back into recovery

4 - i did a few different combo, but to no avail.

Cant get a log cat at the moment, will try to get one maybe later in the evening.

Thanks.

Launchers are this.

u have what we call stock launcher, a launcher that comes with the rom, cfx rom, means should be a trebuchet.

Press home button to enter your home screen, proceeds to press the menu softkey(home - menu - back - search).

There should be an option to something like launcher setting/preference. From there proceed to disable "search bar" or "persistent search bar" something like that.

Just install apex, no need reflash a different rom.

Unlocked using HTC dev method and then flashed 4EXT recovery using fastboot... Now I want to S-OFF the phone...Hboot version is 2.00.0002..everywhere I read, I have to downgrade the Hboot to use revolutionary method..please suggest me what to do next as I will be flashing a custom ROM after S-OFF...
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Follow the downgrade guide, it's easily done if you follow it to the letter, after you've gained s-off then flash one of the eng hboots as this will enable you to flash any current roms in the dev forum. The revolutionary hboot also has formating issues.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November

What is the easiest way to downgrade my HTC desire s from hboot 2.02 to hboot 98.xxx? please help me I have looked at another thread, but it's complicated, I don't like complicated

Sent from HTC desire S Android 4.0.4
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Which thread?

With regards complicated, when i first did the whole s-off the instructions looked almost overwhelming. The reason is that the instructions are very precise and if you follow them to the letter you'll find that you can trundle down through the instructions really quickly and before you know it you've sudden gained your goal. Credit to all the people that have made the guides because your not having to second guess what comes next. Just make sure you have all the files to hand before you start, read through the instructions a few times then just go through the stages. It always looks more complicated than it actually is.

[HTC Desire S] Uggers:
Hey all,

So reading ferrao_malchom question I gather that to S-OFF with a HBOOT-2.00.0002 I'll still need to downgrade and use revolution.

I'm currently unlock via HTCDEV, should I relock this before S-OFF'ing? Also once I have S-OFF'd (are these even the correct terms for this lol) I would like to attempt to flash the 4.3 Roms that are appearing. Other than upgrading my Radio, would I then upgrade my HBOOT again?. Is it also worth changing my kernel as well to better support the Cyanogen roms?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
You will have to relock your bootloader at some point, because in the process of downgrading, you need to flash an RUU and that requires a locked bootloader.

Upgrading to an eng hboot, while technically not necessary for cm and most sense roms, is recommended, as the one that revolutionary installs has been known to have issues with formatting the partitions.

The kernel is flashed along with every rom. If you want to use a different kernel than comes with the rom, you can flash it after flashing the rom.
[HTC Desire S] Uggers:
Ahh so I don't need to worry I'm HTCDEV unlocked with CM10.1

Re-Lock bootloader

Downgrade hboot and s-off

Upgrade Hboot

Upgrade Radio

Flash new Rom

Flash new kernel if desired

I assume I will also need to install a new recovery as my TWRP will get removed when doing the s-off part? I'm Thinking about trying out 4ext
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
That's about the size of it :thumbup:

Re. 4ext recovery, in my mind and many others this is undoubtedly the best recovery for the saga. I would use it on my s3 in a heartbeat if it was compatible.

- may it be possible, that branding blocks rooting with SuperOneClick (can anybody pls check out my log history? contact mail.)

- what is the least stable version of cyanogenmod? Why is it called "mod"? Does it need any other ROM?

- can I only permanently root my desire s, when I downgrate it?

... I just wanted to de-install some unwanted apps, like facebook, etc. and use TOR as proxy... but I need permanetly root for this...

greetings and thanks,

Hi,

me again...

I scanned some german forums about my questions and found out, that there is no easy way to permanently root the htc desire s hboot 2.00.0002

and espacially when you have a brand (like T-Mobile in my case)

it all comes with alot of work and high risk, so that I choose now, not to touch anything...

for future guides pls mention that there occur problems for those with branded phones...

best wishes,

still trying every rom for Desire S.... now on "IceColdSandwich Perfecto-Linaro Edition | ICS | CM9 Kernel", seems the best between performance and features... after installing the rom i followed every steps but still got the "SytemUI is taking too much.."

Cannot boot into recovery. Phone stuck on htc logo.

Hi guys, a few days ago I dropped my phone and the volume up button got forced inside my HTC Desire S's body. Now, I cannot press Volume down + power button to get into recovery mode to install ROMs (as the volume up button remains forcibly pressed). My Desire S got stuck in between while installing a ROM and now I am stuck with a white screen and a green htc logo. So the problem is, I cannot go into recovery mode and therefore cannot install any ROM or even flash my device with RUU because it is stuck in the boot screen and does not get recognized by RUU. Is there any way I can flash an RUU or a new ROM without booting the device into recovery? Is there any way to enter recovery mode other than volume down + power key? Please help.

Try to connect your phone with usb to your pc and try to reboot via adb or the aio tool for the desire s. That worked for me when my power button was broken.

Hi folks. yesterday I purchased this device second hand. This is an awesome solid device! but I digress.

I have read guides our there about flashing ROMS and Kernels. I can't seem to understand or figure out what's wrong but my device is S-Off and Locked. The guides and tutorials out there mention that I have to be at least unlocked by HTC to start flashing any aftermarket firmware. But no guides out there mention anything about S-Off and Locked. so, I am wondering how to flash ROMS and Kernels?
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
If you are indeed s-off then the locked status doesn't matter. You'll need to flag an eng. Bootloader though and custom recovery. Could you post a screen shot of your hboot screen?

Flag one of the eng. Bootloaders found in the index and a custom recovery i would recommend 4ext recovery, you can do it with the 4ext recovery updater from playstore. Then you should be good to go

Doesn't necessarily mean it was done by the previous owner. He would have downgraded to s-off, that hboot wouldn't be there unless ruu was flashed in which case he would have lost s-off

[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
It is safe, not as stable as 4ext that I'm aware, there is a thread for it here where you can go and read about it and decide for yourself. Most of us past and current users will swear to 4ext any day of the week though.

3 Network UK Desire S stock rom wanted

Hi all,

looking to get the rom that shipped with my Desire S. I have tried everything I could read online to try to fix it but no luck. Think rom flash is only option. Symptom is that the handset will stop booting after the carrier splash screen (3 network) and then display a small handset with a large red triangle with exclamation mark. I can still boot into the recovery menu but as the handset wasn't unlocked it will not accept any rom except the stock rom. Other options for unlocking bootloader all require more functionality that I currently possess.

thanks for looking

Why would I wanna touch the stock ICS? I've been reading for a couple of days this forum and guys do not have any serious complaints from it (unlike custom ROMs which are mostly full of bugs).

Any recommendations for a ROM? As far as I understand the radio hasn't been updated after RUU ICS 4.04 so besides rooting and S-Off (plus the custom ROM) I guess I don't need anything else to get the max of the Desire S.
