Seems strange people are having bad battery life. Did you start from scratch or used some backups or such?

I used to have very bad battery life with lastest viper OneS, bricked or bulletproof kernels, undervolting and using greenify too!

Now with maximus 10 i have awesome battery life and phone is as fast as it was with 4.0.4 or maybe faster :)

I've installed the ROM without Sense and also flashed new ElementalX 6.0 Kernel. Battery Life is outstanding! :)

Because of I've installed without Sense, there are no apps on my lockscreen. Is there a way to assign my favorites apps?

Hi guys,

I don't have enough posts to post on the rom thread so here i am. I have a few questions and somethings I'd like to clear up before I flash the rom because things always go bad for me.

1) first time u install the rom you don't wipe anything?

2) 2nd time u flash the rom do you wipe in aroma and in recovery?

3) is the new twrp stable because I know previous versions were terrible

4) if there is a problem while flashing can I just restore the nandroid backup and I go back to my old rom?

5) does this rom automatically flash a compatible kernel with 4.2.2?

6) how do you downgrade to flash other roms again?

7) when it says wait for device to boot up does that mean the system will boot and whole rom can be used or u will just see a black screen?

What's the risk of messing up the device completely?
[HTC One S] tsphan:
I'm having what BL4zD is having right now and this really sucks. Was looking forward to trying out a Sense 5 rom and now no roms have a working radio. Had S-OFF, followed the instructions closely, and everything went perfect in the install too. Just doesn't boot and constantly loops with no signal. :(

I'm gonna try to get to his state where it works with S-ON and will experiment. I don't have the luxury of exchanging this though so if I brick this then I'm stuck with it.

Sometimes, the risk isn't worth it and there's no amount of bread crumbs can lead you back. :(
[HTC One S] luxandroid:
1. Do wipe won't harm

2.Don't wipe

3.It's stable but U can't mount to PC in recovery

4.If new firmweare flashed,first needs to be dowgraded,so U can't just restore

5.Yes if U are s-off ,if U are not don't even proceed with installation of this ROM

6 Read dev thread it's answered many times

7.afther second flash ROM should boot and can be used

Risk is always present,all depends on U ,if U meet all requirements and do it right shouldn't be any problems .

Note: flash firmware and recovery manually,steps described in page 7 of dev thread.

Just fixed my phone after experiencing S-OFF crashes

I was having those issues too!

Including no RUUs working with S-ON, no radio for the first 5 minutes of booting, etc.

I figured out what to do based on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46060809&postcount=1215

The file is located in this post:

Something about our rcdata is completely messed up. Here's how I came about getting it installed with s-off.

You can probably just install the rcdata fix while S-ON and in the recovery with adb. This is probably the best idea. But I didn't try it and so I don't know. After you replace the rcdata, just follow the regular steps from the Maximus OP

I did this with S-OFF + Supercid and experiencing major crashing as typical.

Please do not copy the commands verbatim as you might be storing your files elsewhere. Learn how to use adb and fastboot and this will be simple.

1) Flash latest RUU.

2) Flash TWRP

3) Boot (it will crash and freeze on Preparing Storage)

4) Boot into Recovery

5) Goal is to now access ADB and mounting the proper /sdcard. It wasn't working until I got this working:

-a) Go to Terminal in TWRP

-b) Type "mount" to see a list of mounts. I saw that the data block (p35) was being mounted again in /sdcard, which should be (p36). Checking /etc/fstab shows that the /sdcard was commented out!

-c) "umount /sdcard"

6) "adb devices" seemed to show up after this. But results may vary and this is one step I'm not sure about!

7) Remove the # of the "#/sdcard" in the /etc/fstab, /etc/recovery.fstab, and /cache/recovery/recovery.fstab

-a) I did this by "adb pull /etc/fstab", editing it via notepad++, "adb push fstab /etc/fstab", "adb push fstab"

-b) "adb pull /etc/recovery.fstab", editing it via notepad++, "adb push recovery.fstab /etc/recovery.fstab" "adb push recovery.fstab /cache/recovery/recovery.fstab"

-c) Go back to TWRP's Terminal

-d) "mount /sdcard", now your sdcard should be mounted and hopefully adb is working

8) We need to fix the rcdata, "adb push mmcblk0p20 /sdcard/mmcblk0p20", "adb shell"

-a) I find it easier to work via the adb shell for the phone stuff.

-b) In adb shell: "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"

9) Now we need to install Maximus, you can probably use sideload

-a) I chose "adb push HTC_One_S_-_MaximusHD_10.0.0.zip /sdcard/flash.zip"

-b) Wait for it to complete, and then flash the rom with a wipe.

10) Follow Maximus's step to flash the firmware.zip

11) After flashing recovery again, reboot and it should boot up to Sense 5's intro screen.

12) Reboot to TWRP and reflash the rom again of course per instructions from Maximus.

Note that in bootloader, radio is now 1.20.50.05.16. I think this problem has been the culprit this entire time and flashing the rcdata seemed to have fixed it.
[HTC One S] tzutzus:
I just finished to flash my htc one s device with this amaizing rom. i'm a noob in flashing htc devices, 12 hours of documentation, guides and so on, but now i;m a very happy and proud user with htc one s - sense 5. To flash this, i had to unlock bootloader, root, change CID, S-OFF and finally flash. i make all of this without problems, thanks to xda guides and tuts.:good:

On development forum, on install instructions it says to repeat rom instalation once again. I didn't do that because in twrp recovery i can't find (anymore) any .zip files. But the phone works like a charm...

I really have to repeat rom instalation ?
[HTC One S] addsfsds:
Yes, just turn on the phone, connect it to the pc, copy the rom on the sd, restart in recovery and flash again :)
[HTC One S] gelo01:
I'm just curious.. what's really the purpose of the 2nd flashing of the rom? I mean, after you boot into android, it seems that everything is working as it supposed to be. I also checked if i have the storage bug, but luckily i don't. Nevertheless, i still flashed it again just to be sure. But i'm still curious. :p
[HTC One S] tzutzus:
I try this, but after copy again maximushd .zip file on sdcard, TWRP doesn't see it. i don't know why, it's the latest version of twrp. When i fflashed for first time, i find .zip file immediately...same version...

Anyway, the phone works perfect.

One more question: If HTC decide to update One S, we can flash or receive it via software updates?
[HTC One S] luxandroid:
Use TWRP 2.6.1.0 provided with ROM not latest

I've one question: I'm still on Maximus HD (firmware.zip is installed and Android Version is 4.2.2). But I want to make a fresh install (because of several reasons). Do I have to install the 'install-package.zip' again?

Or is it possible only to install the ROM.zip?

How can i fix that,if it can be fixed at all ....?

You 'll need to downgrade to hboot 2.15 and old partition size and official ver of cwm/twrp. But I don't think you have to relock and unlock like in this guide because you got s-off.
[HTC One S] stefannsv:
Fist of all, sorry 4 my worst English ;)

I flash a RUU Image (exe) over it! Thats the easiest Way, You only must Root your Handy after that Procedure!
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Hmmm.... All I can say is the above link is also a RUU method but just do it via command lines, not run by official RUU.
[HTC One S] K7Cobb:
So i was just wondering will the rom still work properly if i am s-on because when i goto the rom thread it says you must be s-off
[HTC One S] nino1004:
I have the same problem, all the while in 2g and I've tried everything.

I installed the ROM 3 times to manual and got nothing
[HTC One S] tivofool:
I wish I could remember what exactly worked for mine.

After a couple of days after install, I was stuck on 2g.

I remember going into twrp and doing the wipe. (I remember because I was irritated that it wiped everything and I had to install apps again)

I remember freezing stock browser with titanium backup and installing boat browser. (not related, but just mentioning)

After restart, It was still on 2g.

I turned off the phone and let it sit for about a half hour.

When I turned it back on I had 4g never had the problem again. (been about a month)
[HTC One S] nino1004:
Ok thanks but I'll let stand 1 day (for work) and not served at all, and if I have my data is like a brick, I needed the data.

install another kernel can be the solution?

[HTC One S] Zdog291:
No you will not be able to install the firmware properly nessecary to make the rom run if you are S-On and even if you do get it installed, downgrading to get back to a differnt rom or stock will be very hard with a higher hboot and s-on leaving you with no RUU that will flash
[HTC One S] nino1004:
still no data and I've realized I'm missing the file mmcblk0p4 imei (I really need a whole line, the 240 is full of whole 0)

It may be that the reason?

Thanks for the help
[HTC One S] tivofool:
I don't have a understanding of how to fix mmcblk0p??, sorry.

I would have went back to stock configuration with a RUU.exe and run factory reset and clear storage from bootloader. Then start over again.

Anyone know how to downgrade firmware in order to return to 3.16.401.8? I did tried with ruu but got errors 155 and 158.

PS. I'm S-OFF..
[HTC One S] LibertyMonger:
I get this occasionally on my GNex and I call my service provider and tell them to send a reset for your signal, they will have you shut down and take out your SIM for a few minutes. Worth a try it works for me.
[HTC One S] Will972:
I face this problem on first installing of Maximus.. for that u need to flash RUU older . For me i used last ICS (sense 4.1) than run 3.16.401.8 RUU after that . It seems that your error is related with signature . Well keep trying this ;)
[HTC One S] anko184:
Thanks for the info but although the RUU came with errors every time i run it,

i managed to decrypt the rom.zip and flash it with "fastboot flash zip" command from fastboot.

Everything went fine and my phone returned to 3.16.401.8!
[HTC One S] jamus28:
HOLYS*#*$#& It worked. I was sure I was stuck with a brick or s-ON only. I'm able to boot into older JB RUU, but I still don't have radio signal and The 1.20 radio over 3.16 jb gives me cell signal but no data and empty apns with "no sim detected".

Probably because I need the mmcblk0p20 devblock from pre-maximus. Can someone with a working RUU please upload theirs? Thanks!

EDIT: I fixed it by upgrading all the way to maximus, got data working, then downgraded my firmware, cleared storage, and RUUed. Now back on stock. Thank god.

Can I flash rcdata with hboot 2.16, maximushd rom, s-on ?
[HTC One S] kant1988:
It work. Flash ok with s-on, hboot 2.16, Maximus rom. Very simply use adb in recovery.

Before my phone reboot random with radio 1.20, very annoyed. I should use radio 1.15, with gps + 2g not work. I refer 2g because it less power, improve battery life

After flash rcdata, my phone perfect with radio 1.20, 3g + 2g ok, gps,...
[HTC One S] atown706:
Ok im having a problem booting my phone since i flashed this rom. All it does is bootloop or the screen goes dim while on the htc splash screen. I upgraded the firmware and flashed the modded TWRP recovery. ive tried everything possible to my knowledge. i even upgraded the firmware then adb pushed the ROM onto the sdcard and flashed it and it boots up and i can see the status bar and a black screen. It sits there for a minute and reboots and most of the the it goes into a bootloop. Any help would be appreciated!! Is my phone bricked and shoudl i get another one or is it still salvageable?
[HTC One S] tsphan:
You're experiencing the rcdata partition problem. Reflash the rcdata partition from adb if you can. (see my post, as I'm not sure how to get adb shell working exactly it just does it when it wants to)

If not, install the RUU for JB 4.1.2 Sense 4+, S-ON, install the rcdata, S-OFF, upgrade to Maximus.
[HTC One S] atown706:
Thanks. How would I go about doing that? I can't see your post right now since I'm on my girls iPhone. I was able to run the the ICS (the latest I believe) and it still does it.
[HTC One S] jamus28:
No. You need to be unlockedf to push the devblock.

Fast boot or ruu fastboot flashing the rcdata.img does nothing. I tried plenty of that.
[HTC One S] Zdog291:
Update?

Have the dev for this Rom abandoned it? it says it has OTA updates but it's never been updated...
[HTC One S] gelo01:
What else do you want from the rom? I think this is the most stable rom i've ever used so far. This rom + elementalX kernel + sense 5 toolbox, there's nothing i could wish more than this..

But we don't know if this rom would be updated to atleast sense 5.5, but i think that's highly unlikely.. :/
[HTC One S] kant1988:
It work. I flash rcdata with pack's tsphan. Unlock bootloader, s-on, hboot 2.16. Flash in recovery via " adb shell"

There is no need to update indeed, this rom is super stable with 1.2 radio. The only problem is photo/video quality not good but no way to fix it in 4.2.2. We are waiting for 4.3 Sense 5.5 port to fix the camera.
[HTC One S] biggyt:
Awesome smooth ROM. One problem for me, pinch and zoom doesn't seem to work correctly. Hard to explain exactly, but if I have zoomed in on an image in the gallery it is sometimes as tho there is another 'touch' on the screen so instead of scrolling around the zoomed image my phone will unzoom the image.

Anyone come across similar (it happens in Google maps and chrome too)

I was able to load Maximus HD ROM with S-On but had issues with wifi, it never worked. I am waiting for the next update of this ROM with S-On.
[HTC One S] gelo01:
I'm afraid there wouldn't be a next update to this rom, let alone for S-On devices since this requires you to upgrade your firmware for this rom to be fully working.. another problem, that i assume you haven't seen it yet, is the storage issue where you are left with only 2gb of internal storage, may be less.. i suggest you to do s-off via facepalm/moonshine to eliminate all those issues. Good luck mate. ;)
[HTC One S] santo_2k:
Yes, I was left with 2GB memory alone. I was on hboot 2.15 and rdio 1.13, I was unable to get S-off on my phone as I had issues with adb. I had this badluck with adb issue and trying to figure out how to make it work.right now am on magicrom with S-On and only issue is my mobile keeps on rebooting every 2 or 3 hrs. still waiting for a stable rom and lookingforward for 4.3 and sense 5.5.
[HTC One S] wmdunn:
If you really want to fix your phone, you will need to to RUU back to your stock release. Going against the specific instructions which came with the Maximus rom was not a good idea, and most likely that needs to be cleaned up. The RUU should take care of that. Then you can root, flash a custom recovery, etc ... you know the drill.

Of course, you are free to disregard this advice and continue having issues with you phone ... good luck!
[HTC One S] gelo01:
Maybe you should try updating your android sdk. I remember i also experienced problem with adb, not recognizing my phone in bootloader after adb reboot-bootloader, but after i updated android sdk, all things just went fine.
