[HTC One S] rootrider:
Thank you and welcome to this forum!

Your bootloader is still at version 1.06. Which is very good, as yours and version 1.09 allow you to flash nearly everything (kernels, radios, etc.) from within your device. Bootloader versions higher than 1.09 don't allow this anymore. For flashing kernels and radios you then will need to get into the phones fastboot mode and use the Android SDK on your pc, typing things like 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.

Let's get started with recovery. To root your phone you usually need to flash a custom recovery. TWRP is the only one working bugfree atm. You can download it here.

To flash it and doing other usefull things try to get comfortable with the HTC One S All-in-one-toolkit.

So why do I mention this, also you wrote that the only thing you want to do is udating straightly to JB?

After the OTA update you'll be on bootloader version 2.15. It's just one more thing from htc to lock their devices even more, as at this time they don't behave very friendly to the dev community. Downgrading the bootloader is kind of pain and not easy so, unless you're familiar with linux (I did it succesfully several times).

Also stock JB from htc has one more surprise: Your system folder will be kind of write protected, which means, also you seem to have full root, after a reboot your formerly deleted (you thought so) files wil be back. Also added files in that folder won't be present any more. That crap is hardcoded into htc's JB kernel and sources are not available atm. But this problem was solved by flar2, who wrote a kernel module to bypass this.

So your hardware issues are left. As I'm not concerned by this I can only summarize what I read about these in the forum. They are obviously hardware related and therefore independant from software. Somebody wrote, a new radio had helped, others write different. In summary you'll have to check this out for your device.

Let's resume at this point:

Your device is unlocked and at 1.06. It needs to be relocked for the JB update and it will have a less comfortable bootloader version afterwards and it will be hard to get rid of the crapware in your system folder, as you'll have to unlock and root again for doing so. And it's questionable the JB OTA update will fix your hardware issues.

So I'd recommend the following procedure (you could still do the OTA update at any time, I'll help you then):

- use the all-in-one-toolkit, flash latest TWRP

- Flash latest EU radio 1.11 from here with twrp

- restore JB from my nandroid backup (download 3.16)

- if you experience troubles with your wifi connection, flash these wifi partitions

- check if your hardware troubles have been resolved

- to get root use all-in-one-toolkit again and flash elemental kernel (by flar2)

It seems a lot of work, but it's worth it. PM me, if you need additional help or decide to do the OTA update.
[HTC One S] rayaz:
wow, thanks so much for all the info. I will give this a try tonight as i have the phone @ home, using my One X as the regular phone until i get the One S sorted. Then i will hope push out the One X and keep the One S as my regular phone. I prefer the One S size which is more ideal for one handed operation, shame that HTC opted for a pentile display that took out the sharpness.

Also based on your suggestions would it be better for me to opt for a custom ROM than HTC standard to resolve my issues?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skramz:
I just noticed the issue today. When I tried making a phone call, the screen went completely black, and when I tap the screen, power button and volume keys it doesnt show any display.

Communication works because I can talk with the person I called. I also tried the other way around by calling my Nexus 4, and after answering it the display also goes out.

It only comes back after the call ends and you have to hit the power button to make it lit up. Did a factory reset and it didn't fix it....

Is this a known bug in 4.2.2?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skramz:
Did some research online. And I saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001861

Found out that the issue is with screen protectors blocking the proximity sensor.

I recently put one on my Nexus 4. Just the cheap ones from local vendors here. I just had to cut the upper left corner.

SOLVED! :good:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aspirinmatt:
I bought a second-hand note 2 on ebay, this guy tell me it's rogers phone, but it requires unlock code when i put in my rogers sim card. So i figured that this is not a rogers phone, and i need to unlock it. The problem is that, i can't get contact to the seller, and buy an unlock code on ebay requires information about the original carrier, or it will cost like $40. There is no carrier's boot up logo, nor carrier's custom apps, so is there any way i can identify the carrier? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinghu:
Not sure about finding the network but GalaxSim Unlock on the play store unlocked my phone (originally new and locked to o2 UK, but I was going abroad so needed to unlock it quickly to use a local foreign SIM).

Wasn't free but for a few £ it did the job. Does the box reveal anything about the network? Not that it'll help get your SIM working... I'd be unlocking and then flashing a rom/wiping the caches to make sure it was clean.

Locate the at&t option and select DLK3. That's the touchwiz at&t jelly bean firmware. The instructions for flashing it to your (unrooted) phone are on the page. There are also videos on YouTube of people using Odin to flash stock firmware if it would make you feel more comfortable.I would boot into recovery, wipe data and reboot. Flash the firmware and then boot into recovery again to wipe data again. Should be good after that.

Erasing battery stats simply resets the stats that are shown in Settings>About Phone> Battery Use. It does not calibrate battery, or anything else.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] b16flybye:
Coming from the original epic 4g, My brain is overcome with confusion. Whats ma5 and ma7? Out of all the 100 ROMS available, which would YOU prefer? Do I need to odin clockwork mod as usual, cause I read a post that said to dl and flash in stock recovery. Grrrrr. It feels like 2010 all over again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
MA5 and MA7 are references to the factory firmware, ROM, and modem. Personally, I prefer JellyBomb. However, you should try a few to find what you like. And yes, you'll need ODIN and all the rest. There's guides that cover all this...look at the stickies.

Sent from an evil, dark place...

~ ROM: JellyBomb v14.0

~ Radio: L900VPAMA7

~ Kernel: Perseus alpha32
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blakestr:
I came from an epic 4g too! (what a difference!)...

I personally had such a bad experience with roms on the epic 4g I still haven't tried any after having the note 2 for 3 months... use the toolkit and Odin to root and you are good to go if you ask me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] EVO-lution of Man:
MA5 is a leak. MA7 is the official 4.1.2 build. As far as odin goes, I didn't need it. Still don't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
basically, the MA5, MA7, LJC, LK8 are just firmware versions (official rom, modem, kernal). MA7 being the most recent. Some are leaked, some were OTA releases. You'll get familiar with them in time.

Right now, a lot of roms are based on these. The AOSP roms are few, and they're all in alpha or betas.

Plus, what was said above is correct.

As for recovery, once you're rooted, you probably won't need ODIN on the PC. Just picked the recovery you like best, TWRP or Clockwork. I've been using TWRP and works well from that I can tell. Just remember to test to your nandroid(s) because a backup you can't restore from only takes up space on the SD card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
Questions and help issues go in Q&A buddy.

There is a toolkit and several videos that explain how to root and add a recovery. Make sure you get the latest recovery since the one I got with the toolkit did not back up all data from some reason. Back up your stock ROM and then start flashing. Modems and firmware are now flashable, no odin.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A30N:
Hello, I have a bit of a dilemma. My Sprint Gnex has been overheating more and more recently, to the point where the 3G/4G radio shuts down until the phone cools off (about half an hour), and GPS locks are taking longer and longer as well, sometimes I don't get a lock at all.

So far, I tried 4 of the top-rated 4.2.1 ROMs, with and without low-voltage kernels, 5 of the top-rated 4.1.2 ROMs, also with and without low-voltage kernels, and of course, factory stock from Google. The issues are easily reproducible whether I'm standing on the street under a Sprint tower, or at home at the edge of reception. I also tried all the root-required GPS and 3G/4G hacks, with negligible results. Time for a new phone!

My question is this: Should I...

A) Go through Asurion and get a refurbished phone; cross fingers that it's not worse than what I already have ($100 one-time)

B) Buy a used Gnex on Amazon in so-called excellent condition ($125 one-time)

C) Activate my perfectly good trusty flip-phone and my old WiMax hotspot ($50 a month)

D) Sell my girlfriend into slavery and upgrade to a Galaxy Note II ($550 one-time)

E) Burn all my electronics and go live in the wild as a hermit (Free)

I dropped my Sprint service and started using a T-Mobile hotspot and Talkatone's VOIP app. So far it has been working very well for me.

The battery life of the hotspot isn't great, but the Toro+ with all the radios disabled lasts forever!

This may sound like a weird question but did you put the back door/cover back on before checking signal? A lot of people don't know or forget that the antennas are on there and you won't get a signal unless it's on.

Second thing to check is that the mobile service is turned on in the phone and if it is try toggling it off and back on again. The ROM I'm running needs to have it toggled after a reboot. Even though it shows on I get nothing. Once I toggle it off and back on the service comes right on no problem.
