you want sense 5? Stay on Hboot 2.16 <<<stable-fast-smooth but not realy much variety/choice of roms

you want aosp-CM-AOPK or anything like 4.3 or kitkat it´s better you´re on 2.15. <<< more choice- nice playground for flashaholics-not all stable and smooth but it goes on..:laugh:
[HTC One S] Rapier:
I could ask you the same... What's the point in having 2.16...?

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] searchworlds:
The point is that people do not want to send perfectly working oneS to repair after going back to 2.15,a lot of people have experienced lost of radio signal after going back from 2.16 to 2.15, so you end with a unusable phone and there isn't a fix for that yet! Still not clear what causes the issue, and why some have it and some not.

That's a really strong motive to stay on 2.16 at least for me.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
You answered the wrong question. I was asking what's the point in having hboot 2.16 NOT (other than having a good Sense ROM running ofc) what's the point in downgrading
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Did you try the method in the first post?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Compatibility with a large number of Roms, more recovery options, USB mount in recovery (this is huge).
[HTC One S] nicknc:
You can always try walking all the way back to 100% stock and start again. See if you get 3g there.

It sucks, I know.

Or sell your phone on ebay and buy another. I've had to resort to that before. Some countries don't have 3g, so it's not a problem for them.
[HTC One S] Insecret:
DAAAMN :)) some countries does't have 3g network coverage, and they use one s ??? Where you sell the phone in Congo to governor ?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Man, I don't ask questions from buyers on eBay. If they want the phone, knowing the condition, it's no problem to me.

There's a couple of folks even in this forum that report only having 2g coverage in their area of the country and they're fine with the one s.

I am unable to find a radio update thread since i am on my phone. Can any one tell me where is the thread located in which section?
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
Dude, give me your radio, hboot and carrier info. I can find a RUU for you. :/
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
I am on hboot 2.15 carrier tmobile and for radio i attached the screen shot.
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
How did you try to upgrade? Did you say earlier that you tried to upgrade the hboot and radio via adb? In any case, run this RUU:

http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe

First, make sure HTC Sync is installed. What you'll want to do is go into fastboot mode after making sure your phone is charged at or near 100%, and connect your phone to your PC. Then go to wherever you have your fastboot files on your PC and enter these commands from cmd:

fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock

This will relock your bootloader and allow you to run the RUU. Keep your phone in fastboot mode as the RUU will be able to work with that. Run it as administrator, follow the prompts and you should be back to stock with a working radio. Then unlock your bootloader again, install TWRP, install CM11 and see if it works then.

And while you're at it, when the RUU finishes you might as well S-Off to avoid any issues in the future. http://moonshine.io/instructions/ You'll be upgraded to the proper firmware to do moonshine S-Off after this, so go ahead and do it.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Thanks for jumping in. Predictably, I was out of data for awhile.
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
thanks a lot my man, it is working. i am installing the RUU right now. tell me if i need to update my radio any further? and if i need to where i will get the radio itself?
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio any more, since T-Mobile hasn't released an update for it past the one included in the RUU. You could try the 1.20 radio but I really don't think it's worth it.

Also, be sure to click that Thanks button. ;)
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Radio is in the radio thread. I recommend 1.20, but some folks really like 1.13.

Still on my phone, but you should be able to search for it.
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
What's the benefit of using 1.20? I didn't notice any difference.

That is really strange. Explain to me again how you upgraded your firmware without a RUU before this signal issue occurred?

[HTC One S] nicknc:
Are you in a good 4g coverage area?
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
yes i am! where i live i have never seen 2g icon before..
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
Yeah, I wouldn't trust that method at all...it looks like a way to upgrade the firmware while avoiding running a RUU. I don't want to be a pessimist but you might need to send your phone in to HTC, this probably caused some sort of hardware issue with your radio.
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
yeah i thought that too.. because i gets 4g but for like couple of seconds and then booom all signals gone.. i dont man.. probably trying installi radio 1.20 might help?

Yep, that one is what I am running on T-Mobile. Also, what data plan do you have on TMo? That brief 4g notification sounds an awful lot like throttle...
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
i have a good t-mobile plan high speed internet data.. i had galaxy note 3 and i was using that.. then i put my sim on it and i was getting 4g.. after this firmware updating thing something happened..
[HTC One S] nicknc:
When you flashed the firmware, did you replace the appropriate file with the TMobile version?
[HTC One S] mdanish4:
well thats a good question.. when i first was flashing firmware i flashed the unbranded one first then i was not getting in the system i was stuck on bootloader.. then i did again and this time i flashed the right one and everything was fine.

[HTC One S] Spakainz:
Hi, I have probs with downgrade from 2.16 to 2.15 hboot . I use this simple method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755. When I boot to recovery after flashing 2.15 firmware and 2.15 compatible recovery, the Internal storage size is 0. I have used same downgrade method couple mounth ago and everything went good. But now I it wont work...Is there another way to downgrade to 2.15???
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Sure, check the OP of this thread.

Other than that, have you formatted internal storage yet?
[HTC One S] Spakainz:
How I can format it?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
In recovery or via a factory reset.

Honestly, if you are unsure how to perform a simple format of your internal storage partition, I would caution against anything on the level of firmware upgrades or downgrades until you have done some more reading and grown your understanding.

I am not insulting you, but advising that there is a basic level of understanding that is recommended so as to avoid undue mishaps with this particular phone. It is not an easy phone to work with, compared to some others.
[HTC One S] Spakainz:
I understand everything. Yes I've tried format this way. But nothing happens, when I format from bootloader, phone reboots to twrp..Maybe I should try to flash firmware from another PC.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
I don't know that that would make a difference. Why not try one of the two methods listed in the OP, substituting the appropriate RUU for your phone?
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Hi nicknc!

I'm having some problems with my EU One S ( here the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2780004 it's very short so you can take a look if you want to ). I'm thinking about flashing back the RUU but I'm superCID and as you have written on first page I don't know if it's safe...how can I remove the superCID?
[HTC One S] nicknc:
fastboot oem writecid YOURCIDHERE would let you change to whatever CID you need provided you are s-off.

Honestly, I'm not sure you would have to worry about it. Plenty of folks here keep superCID enabled when they RUU without issue. It is just a general warning from the Evita (HTC one) thread.

Staying superCID would allow you the latitude of trying RUUs until you find one that works. It seems like you EU folks have some very specific RUUs.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
atually I'm S-ON and I have to try to S-OFF but as I have my pc with windows 8.1 x64 I'm stuck as I cannot use fastboot. I'm gonna install windows 7 on an old hard disk to do that as soos as I have time..
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Just stay superCID then, you should be fine.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
Actually I didn't know that it was safe to flash the RUU with both the supercid and the S-OFF . Indeed I was thinking that the RUU would have restore the S-ON even if the S-OFF was there before the flash....
[HTC One S] nicknc:
It never did for me-- surprised me too, but I kept s-off after the RUU.

Try running the RUU while in fastboot. That frequently fixes error 155
[HTC One S] dariusz666:
When I run in fastboot mode it reboot bootloader and on screen i see silver HTC on black background.

I cant run in any other mode coz ROMs wont boot and i can only go to bootloader and enable fastboot.

I think it is related with that akward model ID, RUU check probobly that id and show error coz model is not the same.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
You had to have flashed firmware for another phone by accident. What you are describing with "silver logos" doesn't make any sense to me.

I don't have this phone anymore, so I'm out of ideas. You might consider starting a new thread in one s general and post a link to it here.

Sorry man
[HTC One S] dariusz666:
Same logo as when u type fastboot oem rebootRUU

Running RUU automaticly do that command and u see on screen this ( from google pictures )
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Got it. I thought you were referring to the HTC boot screen.

So you are attempting to RUU from fastboot then.

How did that model number get changed anyway? That is what makes no sense to me.
[HTC One S] dariusz666:
I have no ffff idea. I just wanna go back to full stock and next change relock to lock in bootloader to be 100% genuine ( I do this about half year ago with success but turn back to s-off etc. now I wanna do the same thing to give phone to my friend ( I wanna buy Xiaomi Mi4 coz I love MIUI)) I was S-Off/ hboot 2.16/ TWRP / Super Cid / and unlocked bootloader.

I start with change CID 11111111 to my original HTC__032 with success.

Next i lock bootloader and erase cache ( fastboot oem lock and fastboot erase cache ) witch success.

Next i go back to S-ON witch success.

Next i run 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.exe and FAIL.

I get error 155 with relocked bootloader and 158 with unlocked. When i check model id in cmd it wan no more PJ4011000.

That's the story.
[HTC One S] nicknc:
Any chance you have a c2 ville and flashed a c ville RUU, or vice versa?
[HTC One S] dariusz666:
No way, I have this phone almost 2 years and flash many things, don't have single file related with villec2 on my PC.

Well I will try do some things and at the end destroy PCB and send to HTC support. I work in SONY Support and daily have about 20 phones with dead PCB, all are done on warranty, maybe HTC is same xD

Unlock Bootloader

Write TWRP recovery

Sideload Paranoid Android + Gaaps ( u need some OS to do facepalm S-Off )

Do SuperCID

Do Facepalm S-Off, other methods for S-Off don't work.

Write stock boot and recovery.

Relock Bootloader

Now ICS RUU Work!!! ( JB don't and I don't know why, but you can still do OTA update )

After RUU change CID to your original and flash RUU Again.

Now only change RELOCKED to LOCKED with tutorial and do S-ON and voila, like never touchaed.

[General Questions and Answers] aureljared:
I don't think it's a good idea to flash ROMs from other carrier-branded S3's. But since you were looking for steps:

Assuming you're on Windows:

1. Download Odin 3.07 or higher, and also Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones. Install.

2. Open Task Manager, click the Processes tab, and end the tasks names "Kies.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe", if any.

3. Download the firmware you wish to flash from SamMobile. Search for GT-I9300, then click the link of your desired ROM. You have to keep in mind that you must be flashing a US rom. (Head over to this site to see updates in real time - just choose your device from the dropdown menu at the upper right of the website.)

The download will take a while - you're downloading 1.2+ GB of data, after all!

4. The file you downloaded will have a name like this:

I9300xxxxxx_I9300xxxxxx_XXXXX.tar.md5

Open Odin.

Now, turn off your phone. Once it is off, press and hold Vol Down + Home + Power. At the prompt that follows, press the key for Continue. Once you see the robot, connect your phone to your PC. Odin should now display a blue box at the upper left. Click PDA, then browse for the file you downloaded.

Press Start.

5. The process will take a while. Odin will turn the blue box to green when done. Your phone should automatically reboot and display a green robot with a spinning icosahedron (?) on its belly.

Afterwards, it should reboot (just navigate to Reboot system now using Vol + / - if it doesn't, then press Home) and you will be taken to the initial setup screen in a little while.

That's all!
