[HTC One S] fade2black101:
Hi guys

Basically I purchased a One S today second hand and have run into a massive problem. Basically I'm used to having an sd card and ended up accidental wiping the backup that I had of my stock rom. Totally my fault but now I have no ROM installed and cannot seem to do anything about it.

I can't seem to get adb to work (maybe because usb debugging is disabled?)

I have tried to flash roms such as

Ville_Europe_3.16.401.8_OTA_UPDATE_Stock_Rooted_ODEX_FULL

OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.9-3.16.401.8_release_314502nkooijnhkglckupn

These should be the correct ones given my CID is HTC_001 and my phone is an unbranded one. I have tried flashing them directly from

TWRP, ADB Sideload on the One S Toolkit, and also the "flash factory RUU Zip."

I keep getting various errors such as

In TWRP “zip verification failed”

Then when I turn zip verification off, I get “Error executing updater binary in zip”

I get the error when trying to flash via the toolkit.

“FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)”

I am sure these are the correct roms for my cid, so I’m at a loss at what I can do.

I think I need a stock recovery to flash a stock RUU, but I can’t find a way to flash the stock recovery back since I can’t get adb to work. The drivers installed are the correct ones and it was working before this problem occurred.

Here are my bootloader details

Tampered & Unlocked

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.11.50.05.28

OPENDSP-v31.1.0.45.0015

eMMC-boot

Dec 14 2012.17.10:57: 12687

Toolbox seems to recognise it and I can attempt to flash but the roms just don’t seem to work. ADB just doesn’t list my device and I think this may have something to do with USB debugging.

It has been several several hours now and I really am stuck and extremely frustrated and just don’t know what to do next and it’s beginning to feel like this is money down the drain. I have search online for hours but can’t seem to find anything that’ll work for me.

I would really appreciate some help if possible 

Thanks in advanced

Did you update your sdk files to newest version? Could be an explanation why your device isn't found by ADB
[HTC One S] fade2black101:
Thanks for your response

As far as I'm aware they're the latest ones. It worked earlier when I flashed the stock recovery back, but doesn't work now ever since I foolishly wiped everything.
[HTC One S] foeti:
Oh, ah you tried to flash OTAS. That won't work without any RUU. Choose the right RUU for your device, relock your bootloader and run the .exe

Btw. I never had to flash the stock recovery before running a RUU...

[HTC One S] fade2black101:
Sorry, I'm a little bit confused with what you mean :)

I tried running the exe RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4

After several minutes of looking like it was working it eventually gave me "ERROR (155): UNKNOWN ERROR"

"The rom update utlity cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again"

:(
[HTC One S] fade2black101:
Opps sorry.. Bootloader was still locked!

Will unlock and try again :)

Thanks
[HTC One S] foeti:
Uh, OK... Cause in your OP you wrote:

OTA_Ville_U_JB_45....

Do you have fastboot access to your phone?

If so, download stock recovery from here:

http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=ville_recovery_signed.img

Flash it via fastboot, relock bootloader and try to run RUU again....

For running a RUU you have to relock your bootloader. Many devices need stock recovery for that, so try the steps from the post above....

foeti - you're a star :)

You're advise to relock the bootloader and flash the exe file worked perfectly.

Thank you so much for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael Carleone:
This one is a weird one. I have not experienced this before.

My wife's HTC One X unrooted, factory unlocked from oversees, still under warranty. Latest JB available (stock).

Just the other day I went to clean up some of her redundant apps that I installed on her phone. All apps were from legitimate sources, Google Play.

Problem 1. I could not uninstall any app. The device would get quite warm, actually very warm. I would do a hard boot and sometimes I would then be able to uninstall the app, most other times no. I even have uninstaller apps and I tried using them and the app would go through the motions. it would seemingly uninstall the apps but it really didn't . On the times it would uninstall apps (it doesn't matter which app or how large or small) it often would take a long time.

Problem 2: Downloading apps from GP. I might be able to get away with downloading one app and installing it. However, most of the time GP would be stuck in "downloading', Again, if I do a hard reboot or even soft reboot, sometimes the download would start and you would see the small tray and down arrow. Most of the times, not. What is odd about this is that if I go to Google Play via desktop and remotely tell GP to install a particular app, it usually does without issue on the device.

Problem 3. I did a factory restore and after a few apps everything was ok. but problem would then develop again. I repeated the process to narrow down which app may be causing issue but I haven't been able to do so. Then, I did a hard reboot again and then the download would be very slow to start, several minutes then it would start up normally. I tried uninstalling an app and it too took a long time initially and then it was ok. However, in between this all, it was not. Even when going to SETTINGS, APPS, seeing info on the app (cache size, etc) would take a very very long time to populate.

The wife has her phone with her today at work, but for now it is operating as it should. However, I am very confident it will return to the way it was.

Does any one know what could be going on? Is this a s/w issue or hardware issue? Is there any way to test to see if the flash drive has bad sectors or is somehow damaged? Perhaps the HTC needs a brand new re-flash to the original ROM ?
[Oppo Find 5] davela72:
I searched through here a little but didn't see it exactly so don't kill me for asking. I think I've decided that I'm going to sell the phone and am putting it back with the latest OPPO ROM and I want to remove TWRP and install the original OPPO recovery.I'm downloading the OPPO ROM currently and will be putting this back to stock this evening.

Thanks!
[Oppo Find 5] MattCB72:
If you flash the Oppo ROM, you flash the stock recovery automatically. :)

(with romupgrade.exe and ntrw.exe)

But how can I make a backup of the Extended Rom and the Radio Stack?

my phone is stuck in bootloop(keeps rebooting at the sony screen) after trying to update it from 4.1.2 - 10.1.A.1.434 to 4.2.2 in recovery mode.and i did backup but i can't get into recovery mode either.how can i get my phone back??please help....:crying::crying:
[Sony Xperia ZL] spielnicht:
I am assuming you're on a stock ROM? Have you tried restore via PCC or SUS?

If that didn't work for you, download the stock 434 ftf (or 253 or 423) and flash it with Flashtool. Just make sure you download the correct firmware for your phone (e.g. C6506 US Generic, etc). Look for it in the below link.

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f778/all-xperia-official-stock-firmware-download-ftf-files-1675273/

When prompted to go into Flashmode, unplug the USB, switch off your phone, then while pressing the volume down button, connect the USB cable to the PC/MAC.

Good luck.

Hi ,

I need help , i have to use two different phone , one during office(some non camera blackberry) and one at home (LG optimus 2x). Can anybody tell me is it possible to use same whatsapp account( using same sim/phone number) on two different phone. Have been googling it alot but could find any thing rock solid.

Has anyone tried anything liked that and if yes please help me out. I knw it has to do something with MAC address but there are no way to change MAC adddress of android permanently i guess(if u knw that please tell me).

Thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] wouter-visser:
I don't think this is possible because it al goes through the servers of Whatsapp, but a developer may make a app that forwards the messages from one phone to the other phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] rugglez:
Simultaneously, no. But it is possible to switch your accounts between two devices (like if someone is using two phones in a day at different times, it helps them, instead of doing activation and all again and again)

There is only one way that I know of doing this. That is, creating a backup using Titanium backup, and restore the backup on another phone. Everything, from messages to settings, get restored and it works without any reactivation.

But since your other phone is not an Android phone, this method is not usable :(

I've tried the fixes I read for past builds in the development forum, reflashed, messed with the network/data settings, etc. Nothing is working. Any ideas?

Wow, you were lucky. I purchased a second hand Orange locked phone and because it didn't come with its original SIM Orange couldn't/wouldn't unlock it. They said it needed an Orange SIM in for them to see it to unlock, the IMEI alone wasn't enough. And, if they could have done it, they would have apparently charged £30. Advised me to go to one of those little high street shops to have it done.

Orange customer service (a misnomer) sucks, by the way. I've dealt with them before with a similar experience. Rant over.

I tried the camera/gallery version from the 4.3 update for Google Play edition and Photosphere definitely seems a fair bit better on the HTC One, although it's still not brilliant. It's seems most likely that it is to do with the Ultrapixel camera.

I'm having problems running the ROM upgrade by iMate. I keep getting Error 101 connection error, and I had grown to assume this was a problem relating to running from Virtual PC on a Mac rather than a real PC.

Today I at last managed to get access to a PC running Windows XP, activesync 3.7.1, and got exactly the same problem. I tried it several times.

I'm beginning to wonder if any of my past failed attempts on my mac have done something to the phone that is preventing it from being controlled properly by the ROM upgrade software?

Is there anything more than a hard reset to take the device back to factory settings?

Please - if anyone can help me get this sorted I'd be really grateful. The device is just too unreliable in it's current state, and I just cannot manage to get the ROM upgrade working. It's just unbelievably frustrating!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
A hard reset will take the device to the last rom upgrade.

Now in your case this could be the failed rom upgrade which you did over the mac. You would have to look at the device info to check that.

If I was you I would do a rom upgrade of a PC and not off a mac, not that I have anything agaist macs (apart from ...) Its just that I know it works of a pc.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bilbo--baggins:
I tried a ROM upgrade from a PC this morning and it didn't work. It kept reseting the device, then said Error 101 connection error (even though it was connnecting fine to Activesync 3.7.1).

I've made a little progress since then. I've pressed power-reset-record to put it into the 'bootloader'? and this allows the installer to go one step further and says installing the radio rom (but never gets beyond 0%). I now get the error 114.

Now that I've got this far, I will have another go with a PC on Monday and see if that makes any difference.

I've just bought the SE K700i which I hope will be a little more reliable. I really just want to get the PDA2K upgraded so it's in a fit state to sell, and perhaps I might even consider keeping it if the ROM makes a radical difference to reliability. It's so nice to go back to just using iSync with the K700i without go-between software and Virtual PC and all that hassle. My plan is to use the K700i until something comes along that catches my attention (I'm still not convinced by the Treo 650 or P910, and I wont forget my experience of Pocket PC for a while!).

If I may add my experience on similar situation, I got a device which was upgraded using a wrong ROM file, and now it ended up with no radio and no operator ID :shock: ... and can't accept "standard" ROM upgrade ...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Biso007

So what is the story if you let the device drain down and then take out the battery. Would a Normal offical update not work then.

I have yet to read anything about were on the device the Opid is coded in the hardware. What I know is that the ndf have the opcode in the header and this is checked against the getdevicedata.

I have had check for the opcode in regedit with no luck. (this I some what expected as I did not feel that it is part of the OS).

anybody have a better understanding on that issue?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
when I run getdevicedata.exe I get nothing except "PH20B" ... so I used NULL opid to upgrade ROM and Ext ROM ... but this trick didn't work with the Radio part ... more over, I tried the trick of draining the battery down ... it worked only once and the radio is back (I don't know how!!) however, with the last reset after the upgrade the Radio is gone again!!

My suggestion so far is that the Radio part is there but it's inactive due to a problem with the charging circute ... and since the Radio is the 1st stage of the upgrade, it holds the whole process failed.

maybe someone with solid experience with the device design itself can shed more light on this issue.
