[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpaine88:
So I have been on AOSP for a good bit but somewhere along the way a few weeks ago my GPS started going from great to bad.

Normally it would find a lock in under 10seconds outside, and pretty quick inside too, about the same depending on the building and such.

Recently it has gotten really bad, taking a minute or more to find my location and even then the location is pretty bad.

On TouchWiz(CleanROM), my GPS is great and locks in about 5 seconds with about 2-4 less satilltes from the total on GPS Status app such as 19/22 Sat's. It also has a very low error range, like under 15ft.

On AOSP(CM, Liquid, Carbon), I am getting awful locks taking 1-3 minutes to lock. Even then it is only 5/17 sats, dunno how it even has a lock but the lock is horrible, showing 100+Ft of error.

This is all happening off of clean wipes, doing nothing but booting up and downloading GPS Status app.

I also tried doing the "Wipe GPS data" in the GPS app with no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aromig:
This is a common issue. TW comes with a qualcomm gps server stock that is very accurate, while many custom Roms come with a very general one (such as all of north america) or none at all. This sever provides the a-gps data to help the phone find the satelites. Download FasterFix from the play store, this allows you to specify your gps server as well as see what it is currently set to. If you're in the US, try selecting 'custom' and enter us.pool.ntp.org for good results. Stock TW uses gpsonextra.net which I have not tried on AOSP, but may still work well. Alternately, you could google some local ntp servers in your area (universities are good ones) for a hyper accurate fix, however this may or may not create issues traveling far from home. If you're feeling like tweaking, you can even modify your gps.conf file for multiple sources. Just be sure to make a backup first. YMMV

Hi guys,

I've jst dropped my nexus 7 and the digitiger is broken. In addition to that, I was dumb enough to factory reset my device. Now i'm stuck on the language selection screen without usb debugging. The only way I can get adb access is through the recovery.

Is there any solution to skip the initial wizard using adb/fastboot ?

Thanks a lot and Don't drop your n7 :( !!!!

Hey!

Glad this was the top most unread thread, random knowledge to share.

If you have white or clear caulk (the original stuff, not water based)

mix 50 / 50 with Corn Starch.

This will create a flexible putty...

If you want it a little tuffer and quicker to dry try this

mix 30 caulk 70 Corn starch

Note, to get colors use ink dye, and mix into caulk first, few drops say 10 haha

Can break open a black pen or ink for calligraphy pens

Its similar to a substance called Suragu (sp?)

Use this to fix missing rubber feet, screen stoppers, even the weatherstripping on an old car :D

Would it work as an update for phone which doesn't "see" the OTA update and cheating recovery by placing the OTA as update.zip on phone's memory doesn't work either?
[HTC One S] xander1993:
hello mate,

ive tried before but it didnt work,you really have to do the stuff,but incase your one s is in different status it will be different..for mine im still s-on

and the ota rom will only work for the firmware .zip that is inside the ota which you will have to manually flash..
[HTC One S] xQrzy:
Hi xander1993,

I am sorry to bother you but your answer is not clear to me :)

You say you tried it but didn't work and just after that you write I have to do the stuff :)

So let's clarify my situation and then I will wait for your answer:

I am currently using TD6 because I could not update to JB using OTA. My HBOOT now is 2.11.

I did go back to stock 4.0.4 (by RUU, my CID is HTC__032) several times, tried OTA, but no result.

Then I tried (also several times) to download the OTA zip file from splanet, place it on phone and reboot to stock recovery - every time it was showing me first a pgone with green arrows shaping to a circle and one arrow inside the circle and after several seconds it was a phone with red triangle with an exclamation mark - at this stage I had to wait few minutes for reboot every time. No effect.

So my question is:

Will your guide help me to get just update from 4.0.4 to JB?
[HTC One S] xander1993:
okay now i got your question my guide is about s-on devices restoring to jelly bean stockbecause s3 version havent got any RUU,all the RUU i found is ICS so i made this to restore back to stock,so in your situation you are still in ics? are you s-off? or s-on? and do you have the bootloader unlocked?

i can help you to update to jb with the OTA just find your OTA that matches your phones CID and MID,

after that you will need to have custom recovery like twrprecovery

then just follow my post above start 2nd step... i will wait for your reply...
[HTC One S] xQrzy:
As I mentioned above I am on TD6 now (TrickDroid 6), HOS S3, ICS base, S-ON (there is no S-OFF for S3 :( ), bootloader unlocked.

Hmm, what is MID? I haven't heard of it before..

I will follow your guide once I get an answer for this simple question :)

[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:

[HTC One S] xantan:
AW: (GUIDE) RESTORE JB HBOOT 3.06 TO STOCK AFTER CUSTOM ROM ONE S C2 (villec2) !!

Im testing this
[HTC One S] xander1993:
Yes it will work because this method is also tricking the custom recovery so that ota can be installed
[HTC One S] xander1993:
Mid is the model of device so if yours is one s s3 don't worry about mid,
[HTC One S] xander1993:
Yes you can it update you to 4.1.1 just download the right ota for your device specifically the right ota for your cid
[HTC One S] krlwarrior:
I read the guide and I barely understood how it works, but my question would be this:

Im on CID BSTAR301 (yeah, Latinamerican fked up CID stuck on 4.0.3) and if I change some of the code of a RUU.zip file (with other updated CID), would it work on my device? Is there any way to cheat the RUU to make it work on others CID? I think this could be possible, it's just some editable files, I hope this could work because I don't wanna be stuck on 4.0.3 while others Villec2 are with official JB :(
[HTC One S] xander1993:
sorry i am bad in english...but the method up is working...ill help you..first download your OTA for your CID..then tell me when you got it

you can find yours here http://splanet.info/
[HTC One S] krlwarrior:
The problem is that my CID is not in the list, BSTAR301... I want to use other RUU because there is no RUU for my CID :( Can we cheat on other RUU file?
[HTC One S] xander1993:
no you cant cheat the RUU but can cheat the OTA update,even if you dont have the the correct OTA it will install but first you need to be unlock via HTCDEV and you got to have twrp custom recovery

HTC One S Arabic JB update

Hi,

I bought an HTC One S from Dubai(Arabic Region) and I am using it in India right now. I have not yet received the JB update for the phone.

I was able to find the OTA files for the JB Update to the One S for the Arabic Region here -

splanet.info/

My CID is HTC_J15 as given by the CID Getter app.

I booted into the bootloader and got the following information -

***Locked***

VilleC2 PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.09.0001

RADIO-16.05.20.24_M

OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

eMMC-boot

May 10 2012, 17:19:49

This was followed by the HBoot, FastBoot, Recovery. Factory Rset, SIMLock, Image CRC and Show BarCode options.

Can you guide me as to how I can install the JB update?

Please bear with me as I am a noob.

Thanks.
[HTC One S] xander1993:
first thing first you need to have htc dev unlock boot loader http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader select "all other supported models" then follow the on screen instruction then after that go back here....
[HTC One S] bubert:
I have unlocked my bootloader .
[HTC One S] xander1993:
then flash a custom recovery now download from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/villec

after download you got to have fastboot and adb , put the downloaded .img file on the folder where fastboot and adb is.

plug in usb cable to phone then open go to the folder of adb and fasboot and click on the background of folder then shift + rightclick if youre on windows 7 then select select open command window here after that type in the command adb reboot bootloader then your phone should now be in bootloader then time in this command fastboot flash recovery (filenameoffile).IMG then hit enter it should be flashing after that on your phone select boot loader then go to recovery then boom you have it come back again for the next step/...

this is fast boot adb http://dottech.org/downloads/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip

[HTC One S] jimmy16:
I want to sell my phone but i want to try a custom rom based on jb, to see any diference on battery and if i'm not pleased, i will turn back to stock with this guid to avoid warranty problems. I really hope this guide to work, i will give a shot to custom roms and kernels.

Thank you
[HTC One S] xander1993:
custom rom selection in our device is not that big and i am disappointed because htc make an htc one s s3 version,how i wish all s3s are s4 but go ahead good luck

Hey,

At 3rd Step the first lines of the updater script are :

What should I delete?

At the 6th step I used :fastboot oem rebootRUU

work this too,because with adb reboot oem-78 there is an error.

At 7th Step I stuck on the process with the green bar at about 90% and when I unplug the phone I come into a bootloader only with the option ruu, but i can't select it.

What I should do? Any solution?
[HTC One S] androidfreak16:
Reboot into update mode.

How do we reboot into update mode? And can we keep our bootloader instead of unlocking it again if we want to stay on stock..

I was on CM 10.1[4.2.2] and i followed your guide to get back to stock JB[4.1.1]

but after installing OTA.zip from cwm, my phone doesn't boot up.

FYI, i didn't flash the firmware because adb reboot OEM-78 command doesn't work for me.i directly installed OTA(after editing updater-script).

i think problem is that i flashed a different boot.img while flashing CM 10.1. now do i need another boot.img in order to boot SENSE ROM.?

Please help.
[HTC One S] bilal_liberty:
yes u need to flash stock boot image
[HTC One S] ashu007:
from where can i get stock boot.img.?

it isn't prsnt in OTA.zip.

Ok. i think boot.img is inside frimware.zip . am i right.?
