[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Thought I would try to upgrade Android from 2.3.5 to 4.0. HTC said it would work...

I've now got it stuck, though and can't move on. I do not own a Windows computer (I'm on Ubuntu).

What I did

I unlocked the phone using HTC's website tools. It uses adb, and you have to send some key to them and they generate an unlock code for you which you then do: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

I downloaded the RUU (RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_275068) from HTC.

Try 1: OpenRUU

I extracted the rom.zip file by using Wine, then searching on rom.zip. I moved it to ~/rom.zip

I then tried running the OpenRUU scripts which failed on attempting to flash (and failed on the automatic reflash attemtp, too):

sending 'zip' (410735 KB)... OKAY

writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...

INFOzip header checking...

INFOzip info parsing...

FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)

Try2: using hboot

I then tried with the hboot script. This is not for the "desire S" and has the wrong code in for the renamed rom.zip file. I then tried manually putting rom.zip, renamed as PG88IMG.zip into the root of the SD card as clearly summarised at (1)

I booted up into fastboot and the phone opened the zip file but then said "Wrong zipped image!".

Try3: using WinXP in VirtualBox

I then tried to run the RUU exe file in an XP VirtualBox VM. To do this I enabled USB devices for the phone (i.e. added filters for it both in fastboot and android modes), installed the stuff (HTC Sync) and tried running the RUU file.

It keeps saying "error 170 usb connection error". I've tried with the phone turned on (normally) and plugged in via USB, in charge only, Disk Drive and in USB debugging modes. I've also tried with the phone in fastboot mode. I always get this error.

...disable VirtualBox's USB2.0 support

Then it's able to connect to the phone. It ran all the way through the update process except that (a) there was never a progress indicator on the phone itself, (b) at the end it gave an 155 "image error". The recovery process then didn't really relate to anything I could see on the phone. The phone is again back in a2.3.5, so at least not bricked.

Trying to re-lock bootloader...

Then I thought that maybe the bootloader should be locked again (step 11 at (2)) - I had skipped this step before because I thought "I've just UNlocked it, why would I now want to RElock it?". But this won't work either! In fastboot mode, from a terminal, I type

$ fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Protocol error))

then the phone reboots itself, and it still shows unlocked. My fastboot screen (in case it's useful) says:

*** UNLOCKED ***

Rename rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip (not .jpg) then put on the root of ur sdcard (not in any folder) then boot into bootloader, it should find it
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Doh! my bad - I had of course named it .zip not .jpg. (I have edited the post since). It WAS found by the phone, but error-ed after opening it, as described.
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
I flashed my RUU on Linux simply by doing:

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot reboot

(yes, you flash it twice - it asks you 'please flush[sic] image again immediately' because it's upgrading your hboot)

obviously, replace YOURRUUZIP.zip with the zip file you extracted (e.g. PG88IMG.zip)

From the looks of your errors, though, it looks like your zip is simply corrupt...?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
What error exactly? What does it say?
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
As you'll see above - I can't do this, it errors about protocols and reboots the phone immediately!

Could be but I don't think so. I've extracted it twice, once under Windows and once under Wine and the md5s are the same. I have no way of testing the integrity of the file I downloaded since htc don't apparently provide any hashes, but I would think that the .exe file probably checks its own integrity before running.

Thanks anyway! it looks like I need to re-lock it as a first step, maybe.
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
As posted: "Wrong zipped image!". Here's an (awful!) screenshot: (new members aren't allowed images...) i.imgur.com JqsG71r.png
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
and is the PG88IMG.zip on the root of ur sdcard? im guessing not coz that green writing comes up every time u enter bootloader. make sure the PG88IMG.zip is NOT inside a folder

EDIT: heres a wee guide my mate wrote, its for the htc desire but its the exact same method.

PG88IMG Method
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Yep. And the phone reads it all (takes it about 3 minutes to open, with the little vertical progress bar), then gives that error. The error goes away fast, so I had to make a video and freeze frame to get that picture.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Oh rite. Must be corrupt download id say, coz it should work. When u downloaded the ruu, was there a md5 next to the download? If so, check it, make sure it matched, if not then try re download the ruu and try again.
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Good suggestion. Just done that and the md5s are the same. It's

RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_14.01.401.2_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_275068.zip

from htcdev site.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Hmm strange one. I have that ruu on my laptop so il upload the PG88IMG tonight, i know it works coz i already used it. Only thing i can think why its not working is maybe something to do with taking the rom.zip from the ruu using ubuntu, i got no idea why tho.
[HTC Desire S] turekk:
u can't use auto install from sdcard with s-on, u can flash ruu by using fastboot commands
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Haha what a tit i am. :o

I know that u need to be s-off, cant believe i forgot, what a noob. I even made 16 hboots for the desire and 4ext recovery this way. Hope thats the last noobie moment for the year :sly:
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
That's probably because you're trying to run this through VirtualBox - does this also happen if you use adb from within Ubuntu rather than putting VirtualBox between your OS and your phone for no reason?
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Maybe, but I think VirtualBox was working fine (e.g. HTC Sync worked).

As for "for no reason", I have read that the executable does quite a bit of stuff in terms of resetting various low level bits, and of course, being an HTC, there are hundreds of flash options, not just the usual handful.

I have been in touch with HTC directly (they told me initially the 4.0 upgrade was available), but they now say that this won't work with my phone.

I believe that the update is not accepted during the normal means because it is the WWE not the UK edition, and therefore the CID/MID do not match and are getting rejected because of S-ON.

Thing is, I don't want to risk bricking the phone by trying to get S-OFF and forcing the update because handsets are expensive! I've given up on this project for now... :eek:

Thanks to all for the help and advice.
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
Nope, all it does is this:

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot flash zip YOURRUUZIP.zip
fastboot reboot

This is what I did with my phone (I never ran the RUU) and it updated to ICS just fine.

My phone wasn't WWE either and that was no problem for me.
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Was yours a Desire S? I was going on this article: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/do-we-really-need-s-off.html
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
Yeah it was a DS. The article you link to even mentions that flashing a WWE RUU should always be possible: 'Everyone can de-brand his device easily by flashing a stock system image' (although, that sentence continues, that will make you unable to receive carrier OTAs, but that doesn't matter for our device)
[HTC Desire S] shinyblue:
Can I confirm that

means the whole RUU.zip as downloaded from HTC, or the rom.zip as extracted from running the .exe file within the downloaded RUU?

And also, http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/09/new-ruu-zips-posted/ says "You still need to have the proper CID for the RUU. You can run the RUU.zip with super CID, but you will have to lock your bootloader first."

AFAICS the RUU I have downloaded has a different CID so won't work. Also my bootloader is unlocked (and the oem lock command fails, as mentioned above). (And I'm S-ON.)

I really don't dabble to much into Sense Roms, because I prefer AOSP, so I really don't have a good answer for you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The easiest to port from are devices which share the same chipset and display resolution.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] -MightyMouse-:
like the evo 4g lte. or the one mini. kind of curios to see what can and cant be ported. and can you port CM 10.2 to run sense or would it be easer to port from a difrent device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
it just came a few hours back on the portal that HTC one X and one X+ wont receive any further official updates.

and as far as ports are concerned we dont have any device with a similar chip set the latest desire series 500,501,700 etc have the snapdragon 400 or lower versions... the flagships like m7 and the m8 when it will release will have the snapdragon 800 version!

the s4 chipset is only available for HTC one s and ours so its highly unlikely!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] -MightyMouse-:
well there was a port from I think the m7 or a difrent one that was 4.1.2 with sense 5 so there is a device that can be ported. I dont know how but it can be done.

If you are able to boot to recovery, can't you wipe completely? (System, cache, data) Once CM is gone you should be able to install other Rom. I'm a little confused how CM could continue to boot if it has been wiped from phone...

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
You can flash a Custom-Recovery using Odin.

You´ll find a link latest recoverys in my signature.

If Stock Recovery still boots you need to uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin. When Odin finished flashing, wait 1 minute to be sure. Then directly boot into recovery from download-mode and enjoy the custom recovery.

This will increase your flashcounter!

Put your Rom & Gapps on your MicroSD Card

In CWM / CWM based recoverys:

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvic Cache

Wipe Data Factory Reset

format /system

fromat /data and /data/media (this will format your internal sd! be sure your rom placed on microSD card)

flash the rom

reboot (first boot can take ~30 minutes - if it still bootloops: something´s worng :p )

if everything working:

reboot recovery

flash gapps

reboot

[HTC Sensation] Frubots:
Hello everyone,

First of all sorry if what am about posting had already been discussed, I just couldn't find it. My device has been behaving weirdly recently. It all started by it turning off randomly when I flashed the JellyBean 4.2 custom ROM by albinoman. And each time I turned it back on it showed a battery percentage that was either smaller or bigger than what was there before. I decided to move back to Revolution theme but the same issue persisted. Now, my phone can't go pass the Beats Audio logo when it turns on, but stops and goes off. If I try turning it on again it wount untill I remove the battery, wait like 15secs and put it back again. When I plug in the charger, the LED comes on, goes off and comes on again after 5secs or so...just assuming that. Please if anyone out there could help me out I'll be absolutely grateful :(, please...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
post your bootloader details

and what recovery do you have?
[HTC Sensation] Frubots:
My bootloader is unlocked but I can't get the exact details cuz my phone wount turn on anymore. The recovery is 4ext touch V1.0 and I'm pretty sure my firmware is "universal"
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have universal firmware as you said then you are on S-OFF

follow this

format all partitoins except sdcard from 4ext

flash the rom

if it doesn't boot then flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command

the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Sensation] Frubots:
Little issue is, its getting worse everyday. A couple of days ago I could still turn on the phone and get to the recovery but now it wount even turn on or charge anymore. Could it be my battery is dead?. Cuz it started behaving weirdly recently...like when the phone rebooted it showed a far different battery percentage either lower or upper. Then one day it showed grey with an exclamation sign on it. Then when I plugged in the charger, the LED turned on, then off and then on again and went straight to green, like it charged faster. Thanks for your help, I just hope my phone aint just good for the trash

[HTC One S] edwinek:
Hi,

(This question concernes a One S, rooted, s-on, running CM10.1)

I have this irritating problem. Every once in a while (about once per six days) my One S spontaneously reboots. It seems to restart normally, but after briefly showing the SIM-card pin-code entry screen it reboots again. This will repeat until I shut down the device by holding the power button for ten seconds.

After that, I can boot normally and everything will work fine.

Still, this has two big disadvantages:

1 - if my phone's in my coat pocket, I won't notice it and this will happen until the battery dies, which is very annoying.

2 - I can't find out what causes the spontaneous reboots, since I can't access the original last_kmsg (it's overwritten during the boot loop)

Of course I can do a fresh install and step by step (one app per six days...) reinstall, but that probably won't help me find the cause since it only started happening after months of problem free CM usage.

So, does anyone have any idea how to solve this, either by using some other way of finding out what caused the spontaneous reboot, or by helping me find some way of stopping the boot loops?

Thanks,

Edwin
[HTC One S] Deleted member 4736186:
You're talking about bootloops which are significant issue in cm10.1. These issues have been fixed in cm10.2 stable. Random reboots are still present but it won't bootloop. To update just flash the ROM and gapps in recovery and flash boot.img in fastboot. You can wipe cache and dalvik but it's not necessary.
[HTC One S] edwinek:
Thanks, I'd read about that and am planning to, but unfortunately I'm running Windows 8.1. ADB works, fastboot doesn't...
[HTC One S] Deleted member 4736186:
You can use Ubuntu Live CD or USB stick to use fastboot. Google how to create and boot to Ubuntu Live CD/USB Drive. When you're in Ubuntu, download fastboot and adb and use them to flash new ROM. No drivers are needed in Ubuntu, since they are built into the kernel.
[HTC One S] edwinek:
Good point, hadn't thought of that. Maybe this would even work from a virtualized Ubuntu? I'll give it a try, thanks
