[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Hello.

I'm having a lot of issues getting this phone to work.

I just got my C2, and it was not working when I got it. I saw that there was no ROM on it installed what so ever, bootloader was already unlocked, there was twrp flashed, and that's it.

Whatever I try, I cant seem to force any ROM or RUU on it.

When I try with RUU (correct CID version), on the beginning of the installation it doesn't see my version of the image, it just shows what version I'm updating to. Then when it get's to a point of Updating signatures it finishes that step and I get error 155. I relocked the bootloader before flashing RUU.

When I try a custom ROM (I tried Liberty v4), it can't even mount system, data, storage, it just comes out bunch of errors in twrp, nothing happens.

Even factory reset through twrp has issues, it can't mount anything, just errors. Are the system partitions screwed up or something? I have formatted SD storage, it has 10GB, that's OK I guess.

My phone is CID HTC_032, it is S-ON, and has hboot 3.01.0000, latest twrp (2.6.3. I think).

Is this phone even C2? It says on the top of the bootloader villec2, but is it possible that someone flashed S3 bootloader on S4?

If someone could please help me get this thing to work, I'm stuck at this point, been trying for two days.

I can provide screenshots and aditional info if someone would be willing to help me. I used to have Desire HD, that one was easy to root and flash, this is a lot different and someone obviously messed it up badly.

I don't even need it rooted, I would like to have stock ROM, update it via operator and that's it. Rooting is the least of the problems, I just want to get it working stock.

Someone help me, please.

Thank you.
[HTC One S] Stano36:
Liberty v4 no custom ROM is kernel

RUU for hboot 3.01 no exist
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Huh. OK, what can I do next then, can you help me?

I just tried installing viper rom 5.1.0, at first when I choose the rom zip and twrp starts unpacking and mounting, it says Unable to mount cache, and I see now that that is the only error, just the cache, I can't even mount it manually in twrp.

The instalation with aroma goes OK, then I flash boot.img, restart the phone, but it just goes black screen and red LED is lit up, as if I'm charging the phone, but it's unplugged.

Do you know what's wrong?

I have spent my thanks today, I will click thnx for you tomorrow.

EDIT: I did full wipe/format each time, and bootloader is unlocked.
[HTC One S] Stano36:
Flash boot_onesc2.img via Fastboot
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Ok, I know what you mean, I was flashing the other file, boot.img.

I will try later from work, and I will report back to you.

Thank you so much.
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Ok, I have flashed boot c2 img, now the phone gets to viper bootscreen but then restarts, I get bootloop.

How can I solve that?

Thanks.
[HTC One S] Stano36:
Did a full wipe and Aroma installer also full wipe?
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Yes, I did all of that.

I have also tried with Viper v3, but the same result.

But I have noticed something else. Now when ROM is being processed by twrp (before aroma), there are no more cache errors, even when doing full wipe in twrp there are no mounting errors, just one error at the start of processing the zip -"Unable to find partition for path...".

I have attached the picture.

Does that mean anything?

I don't know what am I doing wrong.

Do I have to relock bootloader after flashing rom?

Do I have to manually flash superuser after flashing rom? Maybe the device wasn't even rooted, it didn't have any ROM on it what so ever.

Thnx

EDIT: What if I tried updating my hboot and firmware to 3.19.401 using this guide? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2234559&page=2

Would I then be able to flash stock RUU
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Yeah, wtf is wrong with this phone? Anyone?

Now I've tried ZackehSoul Official 3.19.401.101 ROM odexed, flashed the extracted boot.img from his zip, but the same thing happens, phone will not boot, same as with Viper, I get bootloop.

I've even tried superboot, it flashes fine but right away phone restarts again and I have to do hard reset to get to bootloader again.

Is this phone completely bricked or what?

It's either that or I'm missing something.
[HTC One S] Stano36:
Try TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.0

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/villec
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
So, I've managed to get the phone boot up fully, that was after about 5 bootloops.

I installed stock 4.1.1. rom, but didn't flash boot.img from that rom, I had to flash boot_onesc2.img from viper rom. Then it booted.

Also, I have managed to get S-OFF via moonshine, now my hboot is 3.01.444.

All of that was done on twrp 2.3.3.

So then, to fix wifi, I went back to recovery, did full wipe, installed Viper ROM 5.1.0., rebooted and again it failed to boot, I let it bootloop 5 times.

After that I flashed boot_onesc2.img from Viper flasher, rebooted-nozhing, I still get bootloop.

So, at this point the only way I'm able to boot this phone is by installing this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43853745&postcount=1 combined with boot_onesc2.img from Viper ROM, but then I don't have Wifi.

So after all of this I have few question if someone could answer:

1. What's the point of S-OFF if I then have to manually flash boot.img after flashing ROM?

2. Can I now install ICS roms or only JB roms? As I said, I'm s-off, hboot 3.01.444, HTC_032 cid.

3. How would I return to stock rom from this point? Would I have to S-ON and revert everything?

Thank you.
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Can someone please reply to me if it's possible that a guy who owned this phone before me flashed S3 RUU on it and it's actually S4? It now says villec2, but RUU flashes bootloader as well so, idk.

I'm really out of the ideas, there is no reason why after reverting back tu ICS RUU phone doesn't even get to HTC ONE bootscreen, just the first one when it vibrates ones. As for custom roms, it boot sorta fine, just no wifi.

If I flashed S4 on it, and it was actually S3 device, would I be able to revert it back? Would it brick the phone totally?

EDIT: Ok, someone who has S3, can you please remove your top antenna/camera cover and check what number says on the little black sticker in right corner by the LED? The FCC ID? Mine is nm8pj40200 and according to google, it should be S4.
[HTC One S] olrebo:
Look in the bootloader? Either there is villec2 or ville. villec2 is S3 version.
[HTC One S] Atrax2010:
Thank you, but I've been through all of that, I understand that part, but my question was what would happen if the device was S4, and the user who had it before me flashed S3 firmware on it somehow, broke it and then sold it as broken, for parts for that reason. Would the device become bricked, or would bootloader still be working and say villec2? Those were my questions.The device wasn't working when I bought it, wouldn't boot at all, just bootloader and recovery, that's why I'm puzzled, and it doesn't boot after full restore to stock s3 ruu. It boots with rooted roms, but wifi doesn't work. Strange? I'd say so.

I took the device to HTC repair shop, the guy entered my IMEI and S/N into his database, and it came out as Ville, and he has villec2 listed as well.

To be clear, I doubt it is actually ville s4, but something is wrong here, I was just trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with it so that I could fix it and sell it, I couldn't care less if it was s3 or s4 in that respect other than for repairing it.

Either way, doesn't matter now, I'll wait for it to come back from repair.

Cheers.

Root

Hi guys, I'm quite new to rooting. My phone works fine so far. The only thing that I do not like is the fact that it cannot record any phone calls. I have only my voice recorded. If I root the phone, do I have to make Flashing Recovery and install new Android (custom ROM), or I can keep this one? Oh and when rooted, will the phone be able to record both sides in a phone call?

Thank you
[HTC One S] SinanJan:

Hello All,

I just want asking about my DInc problem. My android version is 2.3.4 (Built number : 4.08.605.15 710RD) and few times I got message informed me that the newest update is available and ready to install (4.08.605.19 710RD) then I just hit Install and Restart but nothing happened neither restart. My DInc still use stock room without Root. Mybe anyone can help me to fix my problem. Thanks ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Try this. Pull the battery and reinsert. Hold vol down and power till a white screen appears (hboot). Use vol down key to select recovery and power to select it. A screen will show a phone with an arrow. From that screen hold vol up and power till a menu appears. From the list select wipe cache. Once done select reboot. It should then prompt you again to install it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] androiddecoded:
Any good screen protector for Atrix 2 in India? Please recommend.
[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
i bought the amzer one from flipkart.....its pretty ok.....matte finish makes the touch smooth.......but pics/videos on the screen look better without this scratchguard.
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
I did the same, really makes the display dull,..

Here's my solution for it..:p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo1z4_31y_0

Anyway. I got another screen protector. Just bought another BIG screen protector and cut it to Atrix 2's screen size.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Super_Commando:
wouldn't applying vaseline to screen make it messy & attract more dust?
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
didn't get any dust or get messy. I thought same before. .. it just didn't :)

Of course I wiped off excess Vaseline off it. It also made the screen a bit smoother to operate.
[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
Niiice !!! It does make a huge difference !! :D

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

I forgot to mention...I have a habit of wiping the screen with a wet cloth after every phone call......so how often do I apply the vaseline? :confused:

And does the vaseline make the fingers oily? :/
[Motorola Atrix 2] NHS2008:
Once you will wipe it with wet cloth it will remove the Vaseline, When the screen loses all the Vaseline residue, It will develop the slight fogging effect on the screen. I say once a week won't matter. Fingers don't get oily if you do not leave excess Vaseline on screen.

I found it out during the horrid winter we had in December...
[Motorola Atrix 2] johngeorge82:
ok cool thanks:good::highfive:

I tried getting my infuse back to stock via Odin but it won't recognise the phone in DL mode.. I have windows 8 now and kies installed.. Any help would be great , thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TokyoLee:
I don't think windows 8 limit the amount of things you can do.. I found that out the hard way.. Idk what to tell you but use a friends windows 7 cpu or something :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Windows 8 has compatibility modes just like XP & 7 did. Also Windows 8 Pro has a virtual server built in. It's called Hyper or something like that. From within that you can install an older OS.

Also try uninstalling kies and load Samsung drivers instead.

Samsung Infuse - Windows 8 Froyo to Ginbgerbread

I agree with this 110%. I spent a day reading and trying to make it work. Took me 10 minutes on windows 7. if windows 8 should update on its own or run an older version, its really a hassle just to figure out

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
What rom are you on? If a cm build then what is the date?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mejet:
i have tried several different roms. my current rom is Stock w/ Goodies 2.23 Project Silk.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevlar3d:
I am using CM 10.1 (nightlies) and for a period of time I had this same problem. I unchecked the "noise suppression" in the "call settings" options (go to dialer and hit menu then settings). That solved the problem although I've had it re-enabled for a week now and it seems to be working fine. So you might either kill that setting or update your rom.

Hope that helps!

My US Galaxy Player 5:

Model: YP-G70

ROM: CyanogenMod 7.2.0 KANG ROM

Firmware: 7.2.0 Cyanogen

Launcher: ADW

Rooted: Yes

I have been messing with different ROMs recently and have been installing many different ones to see which I like best. CM7 is hands down my favorite, so I installed and tried to use it. Everything on it works perfectly fine except I can't connect to the google server when I try to add an account. When I try to connect using the add account button in the settings menu, it will attempt to connect for about a minute before changing to a server settings screen, which will then lead to a "cannot connect to server" error message.

I have obviously installed Gapps, I have tried to both factory reset and completely re install but no dice. I can connect to my google account using the browser, and can get onto the Google Play store on the browser as well and see all of my account information, but can't connect using the add account button. I know it's possible to connect because I have done it before using the exact same CM7 installation.

Has anyone else had a similar issue, and if so, how did you fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
It could be the wifi bug on the device. I get the same issue on my SGP that is currently running CM10 right now. Its a notorious bug on the device itself.

Hi,

I have some questions regarding encryption.

Are there any downsides to encrypting an Android device?

What about encrypting SDCard, will CWM still be able to mount and read it?

Last, after encrypting a device is it still possible to update the rom normally through CWM?

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] worf_1977:
If you encrypt your phone, CWM will not able to work.

Backup/restore functions cannot de their job...
[General Questions and Answers] naraynar:
Yes.. thats right.
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
What do you mean? Will CWM be deleted or is it just the rom updating? What about factory resetting in CWM?
[General Questions and Answers] worf_1977:
CWM will not be able to mount System partition, nor Data. So factory reset option will not work at all...
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
Oh. OK, thanks!

One last question: is it irreversable?
[General Questions and Answers] worf_1977:
It let me decrypt my phone... Agreed i encrypted memory area only. But there should be the option to decipher it...

Takes more than encrypt, but CWM will work again as it should do ;)
[General Questions and Answers] pingaan:
I'm not quite sure what you mean? How is it done?
[General Questions and Answers] worf_1977:
Cannot remember... It shows up ONLY if you already encrypted the phone...

Well, i think :P
