[HTC EVO 3D] jrvermee:
I have an Evo 3d with Virgin Mobile and I desperately want CyanogenMod 10.1

I am rooted, s-off, unlocked, and on hboot 1.57. To flash CM 10.1, you must be on an hboot version lower than 1.57. Is there a way to downgrade my hboot without reverting to s-on? because every link I find warns that you

must

be s-on, or you will irreversibly brick your phone.

I tried putting the PG86IMG.zip file with hboot 1.40 on my sd card and rebooting into bootloader, but I get an error message (see attached picture)

Please help, and Thank you in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnnyBeGood113:
I'm on Sprint and by all means I'm no expert. I followed ramjet73's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1889438

and was able to switch between hboot's version. Download QADERSO-V2-VM.zip and unpack to C drive. Install HTCDriver3.0.0.007 then open command prompt and do "cd C:\QADERSO\Root"

Then follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32259533&postcount=60
[HTC EVO 3D] jrvermee:
Thanks for the reply. I tried that method too and it didn't give me an error message, but when I booted into bootloader it still showed 1.57. Do you remember if you were locked when you downgraded? I think I read somewhere that you had to be but I don't really want to try it because relocking my phone will wipe everything.

And thanks again :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I'm not sure where you got the hboot you are trying to flash but it looks like it's only setup for the Sprint CID and not Virgin Mobile.

Since you are already S-OFF you can follow the procedure in this guide and the hboots linked from that post are setup for both Sprint and VM CID's.

I tried to search, but didn't find anything that matched my problem. Also, I'm not sure if this belongs in the RMA shipping status thread, so please move this there if it does, mods.

My Nexus 4 has been constantly crashing once I got the 4.2.2 update. Sometimes it would crash after a while in my pocket, sometimes it will crash just sitting there on the table. I have no clue what is going on as I've never dropped it, no water, no damage to it at all. Does anyone else have this problem? Should I try to get a replacement? Thanks for the help guys
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross1998:
Did you try rebooting your phone or factory reset, because if it happened after you updated to 4.2.2 it's software problem not a hardware problem
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpeopleunite:
Yes, I tried that, but it didn't help. I don't know whether or not it happened because of the update because it's just started crashing this past week. The phone's crashed at least 5 times in the last week. I said it started after the 4.2.2 update because it's never crashed while on 4.2.1 but I was able to run 4.2.2 up til now without crashes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Re-flash the factory image.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatpeopleunite:
I've done that to no avail. I'll continue to use it for another week or so, and if I experience anymore crashes, I may call up Google for an RMA
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pingus25:
Same here, I never had any crashes on 4.2/4.2.1 now (since 4.2.2 update) I frequently have crashes/locks...

After the update to 4.2.2, my (rather extreme) UV stopped being stable and i began to have crashes very often. Do you have it UVed at all? If not, maybe try OV a bit???

Good luck
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross1998:
If you did re-flash factory image and it's still crashing than that's a good reason for RMA, hopefully you've owened the phone for less than 14 days because if you owened it for more than 14 days they will redirect you to LG and thier repair process sucks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
I'd say quality flash back to stock is your best option.

I know you've done that. But have you done the manual method via fastboot?

All else RMA time... LG repair process isn't that bad. Just take pictures of you packing your device up for proof

Nexus 4 crashing all the time

Hi,

Got my N4 yesterday. Booted it up, it updated itself to 4.2.2, loaded up my saved apps, started playing with it. Opened Chrome, the thing crashed and restarted. Ok, started playing again, went into settings, the thing crashed again. This went on and on yesterday. Chrome, Twitter, settings, Currents, whatever. Crash, crash, crash.

So, today I restored factory settings. Tried using it without any 3rd party apps. It crashed when I was in chrome. Then it crashed when I was in settings. So it's not about 3rd party apps, I thought. So I then installed Twitter and indeed it crashed.

So I don't know what to do now. I got this shipped to my parents in the UK but I'm in Ireland. Maybe it's got UK GSM settings? Maybe it's hardware? Maybe I should try rooting it and trying another ROM?

Any help / advice greatly appreciated.

[HTC One S] mehcoib:
hi everyone!!

I come here to get information about the One S I'm planning to buy one very soon from Virgin Canada.

I'm pretty new to Android (and in general to smartphones) since I owned a Blackberry for 2 years and I switch to Android (Samsung Galaxy Ace II X) ~2 months ago. This is a great phone but sometimes too slow (single CPU). So I'm planning to buy a more powerful cellphone and I thought to the HTC One S. My wife has the One V, I like it even it's not powerful enough for my use.

So here are my questions:

- is there different submodels of the One S? (VilleC ?)

- is Android 4.0.3 the current version of the One S?

- will it get 4.1?

- is it easy to root?

- something I like with my Samsung is the number of "pages" (?) available for icons and widgets (7) and the fact they are cyclic (i.e. can go directly from 7 to 1). My wife One V has only 4 (5?) "pages" and it's not cyclic. What about the One S?

And most important: what are the cons of this phone? For instance on the Galaxy Ace II X, the way the external SD card is mount is a problem, or the fact that some people complain about cuts out while listening music, etc. Is there anything I should know about the One S?

Thank you for your replies.
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
for instance I just saw some One S have been sold with S3 CPU instead of S4 CPU, is Canada concerned by these models?
[HTC One S] eddiemurphy:
No, the s3 model is for the Asian market and is not sold in Canada.

The paging on the home screen is the same as the one v (non cyclic).

The two models are the Asian marketed s3 (1.7ghz dual core) and the international s4 (1.5ghz) and lastly the same as the s4 but only available in Taiwan is an S4 with 64gb of memory.

It is easy to root and there are guides on the one a development forums to help you do that.

Some Canadian carriers have released a jellybean update for the one s while some others have not so you might me on ICS for a bit.

Hope I helped somewhat. Please hit thanks if I did. Have fun if you get a one s:)
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
thank you, you answered lots of my questions! I see you have a One S as well, any cons you may think of?

Also, is there any app that could change the paging? Is it what we call a "launcher", like Nova Launcher?
[HTC One S] bluebenno:
Are you getting it cheap? I would say avoid if you have to sign up to a contract/plan - for sure buy if cheap or 2nd hand!

good points for me are:

Just right screen size - not too big not too small

I can load any ROM from latest JellyBean ( 4.2.2 ) to any of the Sense ones ( search for Viper ROM ) or even use Stock. There is heaps of active development on this model.

As above full unlock and S-OFF (all security off )

standard micro USB connector - friends/colleagues have latest iphones (lightening connector) or Androids

reasonable battery life - will easily last me a full day

Fast data performance (HSDPA+ ) - I get up to 10Mbps which around here is exceptional

looks cool

bad points for me are:

No sdcard and limited internal memory - you get about 9Gb usable

Too thin - until I got a case I kept dropping it when using it one handed

speaking of cases - there isn't a great variety ( phone is abit yesterday news for good looking cases )

n/a points for me:

I don't use the camera or video - but they are very good

The LED flash isn't great but will do the job

Best thing about Android - you change anything. Don't like the pager/launder: Change it. Indeed I use Nova.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Keep in mind OP that the Jelly Bean update removes scrollable wallpaper in exchange for a repeated cycle of pages on the launcher. e.g page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 7, 1, 2 etc.

They still also sell the S3 in Taiwan, but alongside the S4 (as a different phone altogether) with 64GB internal storage which they call the One S SE (One S Special Edition). The S3 (Snapdragon S3, also called z560e or VilleC2) as far as I know is still marketed as the One S.
[HTC One S] xantan:
AW: Wondering if I should buy One S. Any useful information is welcomed!

I have my s3 from Vodafone Germany
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
thanks! actually I think I can get it brand new for $150 :eek::eek: I was also looking at Nexus 4 ($360) and Galaxy SII X ($300) but I won't really play games or look at videos with this phone I just need something to quickly switch between emails/SMS/calls/internet browser (business use, always in a rush...), which my Galaxy Ace II X doesn't do very well. That's why I want a dual-core CPU phone with a 4"-4.5" screen and Android 4+. External SD card would have been great though.
[HTC One S] justin0025:
This phone is by far the greatest phone I've ever had. Here are my pros/cons:

Pros:

- Perfect screen size. Not to big, not to small.

- Its FAST for its price. I got this phone back when it was about $500, and i don't regret it.

- Amazing camera.

- Easy to root

- Great for gaming, movies etc.

- I hear negative things about the screen, but j love the colours it puts out. They're very vibrant.

Cons:

- Battery life. I can get about 3 hours screen time with the P.A.C man ROM.

- Sense 4+. I really don't like what HTC did with jellybean (Sense 4+, Jellybean 4.1). I feel like they removed features, and found it yo be a little slow.

- Non removable battery. I feel like its a good thing to have.

- Non removable storage. You're stuck with whatever's inside. (I've still haven't managed to max it out).

If you can get the One S for $150 like you said, get it. Its worth it. Don't spend thr extra $150 for the nexus. If you root the One S and flash a stock 4.2.2 android ROM, you'll be getting the exact same experience.
[HTC One S] mustardman29:
I just got a One S slightly used for $180 from craigslist/kijiji.ca. Pretty good price considering what you get which is dual core 1.5G and lots of RAM/ROM. It is an S4 as are all Canadian versions.

It's quite a bit faster than my other phone which was only single core 1Ghz.

I had a bit of trouble following some of the rooting and s-off procedures but I eventually got it figured out. It's not point and click unlocking s-off ing yet like some of the other phones that have been around longer but it will probably get there eventually.
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
thank you. I agree with you, removable battery and storage are great features but for that price and this power I think I'll be happy with a One S, and I'll probably root it. Just for fun :D

I should have it by Thursday. Several cellphone sellers told me to go with the Nexus 4 but I guess they just wanted me to spend more. For my use, a dual-core CPU will be just fine.
[HTC One S] RiffyDivine:
My biggest loss of getting his phone is the lack of an SD card reader, never thought it was a big deal till I had to go without and it quickly became an issue.
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
I agree. For me it's not really a problem since I don't plan to store music/pictures/videos on this phone, but that's definitely a bad point for this cell. And for Nexus 4 as well since it has no external storage neither!!

The Nexus 4 exists in 2 models, 8GB and 16 GB, so maybe the lack of external storage can make people buying the 16GB model, but the HTC One S doesn't come with different storage sizes, and that's a pity.
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
It's a great phone, and now that Bell/Virgin has released the 4.1.1 update it has been brought into early-2013 standards (only the Nexus line has 4.2.x as of today).

Some people don't like the changes that JB brought but overall the phone for me has improved.

If you buy a case consider this one: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007ZTA522/
[HTC One S] eddiemurphy:
I really suggest getting a ballistic SG case as the phone is really thin and delicate. Plus the case is super sexy, feels great in your hand,is grippy and is as strong and durable as an otter box case if not more.:p
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
thanks for the link, it looks great, + free shipping!
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
wow... just got my One S :laugh::laugh:

Here the deal : brand new (S4) for $145 + $100 in store credit. Does it worth the price? :D:D

More than 2x faster than my Ace II X according to Quadrant and Velamo. Looks great! I will probbaly root it this weekend if I have time, can you guys give a link for easy and safe rooting?
[HTC One S] eddiemurphy:
Here is a link if you can do it manually but if you want it really easy and you are new to rooting, I suggest that you use the all in one kit. But you know you can do it and you are comfortable, use the tutorial,more fun.

[HTC One S] mehcoib:
sure I hit Thanks!

what's the advantage of doing it manually vs all-in-one kit?
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
I've never been a big fan of benchmarks, but Quadrant results are amazing!

- Ace II X : ~2300

- One S 4.0.3 : ~5000

- One S 4.1.1 : ~6200

:D
[HTC One S] eddiemurphy:
The advantage of doing it manually is that if anything goes wrong, it is easier to figure out the problem vs doin it with the all in one kit because it enters the commands for you at the touch of a button. If you are getting more into flashing roms, kernels and that kind of stuff, I suggest you do it manually as the experience will help you later on when flashing. :)
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
Where did you get it from?
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
Virgin Mobile Canada, but I think it was the very last one of the whole province of Quebec... I called the store and I had to come right away to get it.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Welcome to the One S world. I've used a couple of Android phones in the past including SE, Sony, HTC, Samsung. I've to say this is by far the best one on average, it outperformed a lots of phones including many new models and make me think that I don't really need to buy new phone again in this year(but I want to get Ultrapixel with imagechip2, let's see how well of HTC M4 the replacement of One S).

1. excellent camera

2. slim and light weight

3. very unique design

4. hard coast

5. ongoing 3rd kernels/roms support on xda

6. ongoing official updates by HTC(we will get sense5 + JB412)

7. AMOLED with better colour accuracy compared to Samsung though the panel on One S is Samsung

8. cheap in price

9. performance is fast

10. battery life is acceptable

11. radio/wifi is good

Actually, the major thing I don't like is QHD resolution which isn't enough for me to read e-book/pdf. So, I may still end up to get HTC M4 with 720P IPS upgrade during in summer.
[HTC One S] mehcoib:
I did it!

you were right, it was pretty fun :victory:

Hopefully I rooted my phone before I install all my apps and data, because unlocking the bootloader "erased" everything.

So my last question is: if I load a custom ROM, will it erase everything again? Will I have to reload all my apps and settings? It's a PITA to load everything (I don't have a lot of apps or data but it took several hours to set up everything...)
[HTC One S] CuzCrostyPwns:
I don't see why people like the camera on this phone so much. Me, personally, am a bit disappointed in the image quality.

HTC made the mistake of not placing the front cam more on the surface instead of deep into the body.. That way dust will collect in there and make the image quality worse than it already is.

Another con is that the body is really easily damageable. I don't use a case ( and I know you guys are gonna tell me to use one ) because I don't like the extra bulk and all that.

Ive also had a lot of issues with the simcard not being read correctly or something.

I'd get no reception and my phone tells me I should place a simcard. After rebooting my phone, it doesn't even give me the option to unlock my simcard by PIN. I solved this by shoving a piece of paper on top of the simcard in the simcard slot.

Everyone experiences their problems differently and if these problems are minor to you, then get the phone.

I'm not entirely unhappy with it.. Its just that the basic things like these are supposed to work flawlessly before adding the extra features that not everyone would use.
[HTC One S] npiper05:
Get Titanium Backup. If you like to flash Roms, it's worth it. You can find it in the Play store.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

And if you flash correctly you will erase everything as you should wipe when moving between custom Roms.
[HTC One S] hwddj20:
how about ONE XL
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
It hardly compare to modern DC for sure but already second to the best on mobile level. It's goal is for snapshot purpose, not for guys to take professional image. And for the image quality, you will need 100JPG mod to real dig the potential out, default is a bit over compressed.

:?: Is there any way to copy radio ROM from one XDA to another?

Thanks!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Re: Copy Radio ROM (don't!)

Yes there is, and no you don't want to do that.

The new version of the Manipulator, due out soon, will have a feature to dump the Radio ROM to disk. However: overwriting a radio ROM with someone else's data is dangerous, and Manipulator will not offer that option.

The reason is that Radio's are likely to contain what is called 'Calibration Data'. These are tuning values specific to your transceiver module. Using someone else's values could and probably would degrade performance of your phone, possibly to the point of making it not work at all.

Now when we figure out which parts of the ROM are code, and which parts are data which is supposed to stay in the phone, that's another story.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Zviratko:
