[HTC One S] Mr_Gb:
I just thought I'd post my success story as I found it quite difficult to find any s-off support for my O2 branded HTC One S. It was a slightly bumpy ride (things not working, brick panics and stuff) but I got there in the end and all is well!

Firstly many thanks to the all the Devs, forum users, mods and the forum itself for the amazing pool of knowledge contained within! :good:

I wanted my Phone S-Off and so I embarked on my journey and learnt so much within a few days.

Original Phone Spec:-

HTC One S (S4)HTC One S (S4)

HBOOT - 2.15HBOOT - 2.15

S-ON

Carrier - O2 UK

ROM - O2UK

Final Spec:-

HTC One S (S4)

HBOOT - 2.15

S-OFF

Carrier - O2 UK

ROM - VIPER (Although I'm changing this later to try out CM11)

To get my phone S-OFF I went though several processes which I will quickly list below:-

ROOT

Firstly, I rooted my phone using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427, however I used TWRP as my recovery not CWM as described in the tutorial (Personal preference, nothing wrong with CWM)

BACKUP YOUR PHONE IN RECOVERY

ROM

Secondly, I installed the VIPER ROM by downloading the info and following the instructions here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850917

S-OFF

and finally I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2487888, and used RUMRUMMER to S-OFF

and there you go. All good :)

I wish it was as simple as that for me, however I learnt a fair bit along the way trying to S-off my phone by doing supercid then use Facepalm. However Supercid doesn't seem to work as the phone has some sort of write protection and just change back from 11111111 to O2__001 regardless of how many time I tried. So after a lot of messing about the above steps worked. O2 made things difficult for us in the UK compared to abroad.

Anyway I hope this is of some use to someone in the future to make things a little easier.

Please note you do all the above at your own risk and if you **** up it's your own fault not mine.

TWRP for the win! My preference too. Good to see you here buddy ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russellvone:
hi guys, I'm in need of information of each of my individual blocks.

of course all know how to

cat proc/emmc

and this will list named partitions such as boot, recovery, system, fat, etc, etc.

I am asking for help on how to identify the unnamed blocks. particularly Hboot, sp1, and so on.

I know there are super genius devs that support this device that have already done the countless hours of work that may have been needed to accomplish this output, and that is why I'm asking inside as sub-forum besides my own device's.

a PM or thread reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russellvone:
alright, great!

I've been reading and re reading that thread for the past 3 days, I attempted to install the sdparted.zip through recovery but it fails.

I've used gdisk and sgdisk like instructed via that thread

gdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

and yes it gives me cylinders and all, but not names of each block, maybe my commands are wrong?

it looks like the parted binary would suffice the info I'm looking for but in the zip there's a symlink.sh that I'm not sure how to execute if I were to unzip and push the binaries inside.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eXperianceHD:
Ive also gotten this problem. Ive looked into it and it occurs when you delete a system app. I believe the update wont be applied unless all stock apps are installed
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bregga:

I have not deleted any running stock just s off and unlocked Ill have to look for a stock rom then thank you I will give it a shot
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bregga:

I nandroided back to my original backup and it is doing the updates thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] neutrino37:
I have S-OFF and 1.10.605.15, and had deleted a bunch of the Verizon bloatware. After reverting to stock recovery, I tried to apply the OTA; it got stuck with a red triangle. I pressed volume-up + power, which showed me a bootloader menu and an error message that it couldn't find Kidzone (one of the apps that I had removed). I selected reboot in the bootloader to reboot the phone and, obviously, it was still in 4.2.2 and the software status had error 410.

I don't have any backups with the bloatware apps on them, can you think of any way to apply the OTA without wiping my phone? I'm a little annoyed that Verizon made the OTA check for those apps to be installed on the phone; I find it hard to believe this is necessary...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
You have to have all apps present or else it fails to patch them.

It can't guarantee a full clean install if some files patch and some don't.

(This is why we root, so we can flash already rooted roms and remove things as we want. Not so we can take OTA's)

Install the stock rooted rom and firmware in the dev section.

OR install the previous stock rooted rom in the same thread in the dev section and stock recovery and then ota update.

You will wipe your phone by flashing stock recovery though.

If you just flash the firmware and then the stock rooted rom, you won't have to wipe.

Just be sure to do an odex version, since yours is still stock odex.

Make sure you have enough space on your system rom.

Or search for "universal_gb_root_v17" it's not require much space.

1. Download it, place it on your SD card

2. Turn off your device

3. Go into recovery mode by press & hold HOME+POWER button

4. Choose Apply update from SD card

5. Choose the zip file "universal_gb_root_v17", wait for it to install

6. Go back and reboot your device

Got to agree with you. I paid $9,95 for a case that looks exactly like this one. Different brand, I just ordered one.

how do you like the case? is the back slippery or is there a good amount of grip with it?
[Moto X Accessories] tonyguy2000:
Good amount of grip on half the back. The sides have ridges.

"Google play services" and "AndroidOS"

Booth are at the moment the most problems (accu draining) , because the phone goes not in deep sleep. Booth are bugs from Google after Update. The phone is sometimes always awake and drain the accu.

I found no solution at the moment.

Only some temporally things that you can do. Clear cache from "Google play services" then remove accu and restart. Helps only for a short time.

try some other apk btw i sended you another apk which might work then

This reason is for testing first before you are actually maybe going to buy it cause you can't do nothing if you payed for it and it doesn't work on your phone.

Btw if you like this game then buy it and support the developers to make it better.

[Zooper Widget General] -4ndr01d-:
up until tuesday when I received the 4.7 and 4.7.1 update of gmail, my email count is wrong

i have it as followed:

$(#SUG#+#SUG1#)$

which has always worked and displayed my total number of emails from both accounts.

now on both my htc one and droid dna, the count is equal to -2

the above code has worked flawlessly between numerous updates of gmail and zooper.

i have deleted both the gmail and zooper pro apps, deleted cache and data and installed them fresh and configured them again. still results in a -2

also if I just do a #SUG# or #SUG1# each one of those yield a -1

:(

is anyone else seeing this issue?
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
This is a confirmed issue between Zooper and the latest Gmail update. There is already a fix for it in testing, though I don't know when it will become available to the public. Don't think it should be long :)

(Not that this get taking as an official statement: I'm not from the Zooper team, just a user sharing what I know)
[Zooper Widget General] akirkby:
Unfortunately I am also seeing the same issue - I purchased Zooper yesterday because of the excellent reviews and feedback, however, the Gmail count just shows -1 :(
[Zooper Widget General] BentMetal:
This is a known issue. I just recently worked with a support guy from Zooper for a couple of days trying to figure this out. The workaround for now is to point the Widget to your "All Mail" folder. Use this syntax: #SUG^all#
[Zooper Widget General] twill82:
I was having this issue too so I tried putting in #SUGPrimary# and so far it seems to be working. I sent myself a test email and it says I have one unread message. So I changed it to $(#SUGPrimary#+#SUGPromotions#)$ to see if it will show me unread messages from both inboxes.
[Zooper Widget General] Pavel Lukovic:
try #SUG^all#
[Zooper Widget General] ArtieQ:
That syntax works for me. I wonder if there's a way to show other mail clients than Gmail on this unread count? I do not use Gmail primarily, I use Hotmail so would make sense to have it there.
