[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesertHawk:
You don't need S OFF to use ROMS. So long as you have CWM you can flash any ROM. But you have to flash the Boot.IMG separately as well.

E.g.

- Download your ROM

- Double click on the ZIP and take the Boot.IMG out. Just get a copy of it. Doesn't matter if it's still in the ZIP. You just need a copy of it.

- Flash the ROM

- Go back in Fastboot and flash the Boot.IMG

- To do that put the IMG in your Fastboot folder or any folder than recognises ADB (Fastboot mode)

- Open CMD and navigate to the Fastboot folder in which the boot.img is too

- Type with CMD : Fastboot flash boot boot.img

- It should say complete or OK

- Restart phone and enjoy

S OFF is mainly just for users who can't be bothered to do that. And to find out if you have S OFF you go in Fastboot mode and it will say up top if it is or not (S-ON)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VistaX:
But why not just get s off and flash roms normally? What's the reason for not get s off?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
you don't need S-off unless you want to change your phone's CID or downgrade the HBoot

if you don't know what these things are you don't need it.

You also don't need it to flash a kernel like the 2nd post suggested.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbull123:
I've flashed about 10 different roms and not had to that with any of them. Just flash the zip in recovery. I'm new to android a few months so maybe things have changed recently?

S-off is if you want change bootloaders, cid, etc. Once you have s-off it's easy to brick your device if you're not careful. It's not needed for flashing roms though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VistaX:
Ah, then I'm gonna skip S-OFF. I've flashed many roms with mye SGS3 and LGO2X, but I think maybe HTC is a little more tricky to handle.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rex2369:
Yes they are definitely!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VistaX:
So for the "common flasher" it's not necessary to be S-ON?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rex2369:
If all you plan to do is use custom ROMs then there's no need to be S-OFF. All you'll really need is unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP or CWM).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
S-off allows you to change your phone's firmware regardless of what carrier you have or model ID. So you can get the most recent firmware even if your carrier hasn't pushed out an OTA. That matters to some people but not all.

It also allows you to flash a custom hboot to remove the red text on your splash screen. This is wholly an OCD thing--there's no good reason to do it otherwise.

S-off essentially means you're taking full responsibility for your phone and can't rely on HTC's security checks to prevent bricks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eagle63:
Hey guys, I recently went from TouchWiz to CM 10.1, and today I went back to TouchWiz. I ended up flashing the latest "root66" TouchWiz ROM because it's the official touchwiz with root injected into it. I did this using ODIN on my PC. (I have all my data backed up elsewhere so I don't mind starting over from scratch like this)

Everything seemed to be fine until I started noticing that a little over 6GB of my internal storage was being taken up by "miscellaneous files". (according to System --> Storage) Turns out it's a bunch of old folders and files from when I was on CM 10.1. I did a factory reset before I loaded root66, so what gives? My questions are:

1. Did I miss a step somewhere? Again, I did a factory reset from within clockworkmod and I assumed that would wipe everything - but clearly it didn't.

2. Looking at the filesystem, I noticed that "/sdcard" appears to by a symlink to "/storage/sdcard0". Is this right? I know Android 4.2 (which is what CM10.1 is) changes around the filesystem and mount-points a bit, and I'm worried that maybe I've got some leftover cruft from briefly being on 4.2.

Thanks for any and all help!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
No problem. Use file explorer and go to /data/media. You can see everything there. There will be a 0, legacy, and obb folder leftover from 4.2.2.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eagle63:
Thanks for the reply, before I noticed your reply however I ended up doing another factory reset, but this type I manually wiped the /System partition using TWRP. Then I flashed root66 again using Odin. Now things look better, no more files hanging over from previous ROM's.

I did just go into /data/media and there's a bunch of folders like: Android, Application, DCIM, Documents, Movies, Music, etc, etc. I don't see the folders you mentioned though. (0, legacy, obb) Does this mean I'm all good now? And if so, is wiping /System generally a good thing to do when swapping ROM's around? Thanks again,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As long as your storage is reading as you'd expect, I'd say you're good to go.

Personally, I never wipe /system. If something goes wrong and your Rom won't flash you'll be left without an os till you either download another or Odin flash stock firmware.

Never had any issues doing it this way. Plus when you flash a Rom it overwrites everything anyway. And some devs code a system format into their updater-script btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eagle63:
That's what I thought too, but clearly that didn't happen to me given that I had 6GB of stuff hanging around after flashing root66. (using ODIN) Oh well, unless someone tells me otherwise I think at this point I'm good to go. Thanks,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Odin won't wipe your data.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eagle63:
That might explain it then. Thanks!

"Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe if your still on the stock kernel you could run the following in a terminal

Su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Then zip the boot.IMG and flash in recovery. I believe that makes a flash able zip of the current kernel your on. I'm not 100% sure though..."

I currently have a HTC One and am thinking about selling it, pocketing most of the money and getting the Galaxy nexus.

Well since the One is better than the Nexus it would be a easy disicion for me. I think since the play store version is released the builds will come in in no time. I think it is only a matter of time before the aosp custom roms will come. The Galaxy Nexus has awesome kernel and ROM support since it is a Nexus phone. Some developers are leaving for the Nexus 4 but this phone is stille alive and there is plenty of development going on.

Hi guys,

I recently attempted to flash a rom (PACman found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948034) to my Virgin Mobile HTC one V and I am having some problems with it.

When my phone reboots (from TWRP 2.3.3.0) it gets to the white HTC screen (With the red letters under the logo) and goes to the PACman bootscreen. Then the rom starts and I am able to use the rom for about 1 minute. Then it reboots and the process repeats.

I have successfully flashed the boot.img. The only problem I can see is that I was unable to factory reset it. (It would say it failed).

Thanks for any help.
[HTC One V] MameTozhio:
This sounds like a problem with your Radio/HBOOT. Is it up to date? I'd recommend going back to stock with bootloader locked stock recovery stock boot etc and checking for updates. It could also be a kernel issue with Radio and HBOOT.
[HTC One V] Harshizzle:
Hboot

I have hboot version 1.57 and as far as I can see, that is the latest.

When attempting to factory reset, the error shown is

"E: Unable to mount `/sd-ext`

I dont know what to do to fix that

May it be a problem with the rom itself?
[HTC One V] russellvone:
It's not a rom issue It's just your custom recovery trying to wipe a partition on your sd card that does not exist. Please downgrade your recovery if you wish to stop setting this message

The failure your talking about is normal, and is actually a good thing. Try and find pacman ROM version 19.3 as far as I know that is the most stable version and it's no longer being developed.

[Pebble] JCAndroid87:
Hello everyone, I just received my pebble watch yesterday from best buy and I had a good idea or concept for pebble. I'm not an expert on making apps or hacking but, I do know a little and I'm still learning. What I'm trying to do if possible is remote start/lock and unlock your vehicle from your pebble, calling it pebble smart start. Of course you would need a viper smart start device installed on your vehicle or by hacking an odb scanner dongle to send commands via blue tooth. So far I'm figuring out what I can do with Tasker and pebble Tasker app. I know it's not impossible to come up with this, I just don't have enough experience but, if anybody wants to help or start developing something of this sorts I will gladly donate some cash and help on anything I can. In the mean time I'm gathering info and more Ideas to make this happen. I think it would be awesome to have something like this. People are already opening garage doors with the pebble watch.
[Pebble] 3Shirts:
With Pebble Tasker or Glance you can launch any tasker task and since tasker can already do this with compatible Viper equipment, it's not only possible but really very simple. You just need the watch, tasker and a viper remote start compatible system.

Go into Tasker and create a new task. Start adding actions and fill them out according to the line descriptions in the previous post. Do it all again for the second task listed. That one will need to be run on its own once to grab the vehicle id.

These are pretty complicated tasks that will likely require personalization and troubleshooting based on your individual setup. I'd highly suggest working on some simpler tasks first to gain familiarity with Tasker. It's a really complex program, but highly worth learning.
