Hi,

My brother just give me this phone to me and I'm still wonder if mu phone is unlocked and how can i make this phone S-OFF and how to update Hboot? Thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] 42freelancer:
Try using Moonshine with the correct radio and firmware and you should be S-Off. Be sure to read and follow the prompts exactly. It is also important to have all of the phones drivers (including ADB drivers) installed PRIOR to attempting the S-Off.

Is the phone rooted?

Is a custom rom & recovery installed?

If so, you might consider running an RUU for the phone first. After the RUU finishes, do not root, do not install SU, and do not flash a new recovery. Just run the Moonshine S-Off method first.

Anymore questions, just ask away!
[HTC One S] dongddoi:
Hi, thanks but can u give me the link for RUU and drivers. I searched but found nothing. Thanks
[HTC One S] 42freelancer:
For the drivers I recommend this tool made by Snoop05. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

As for the RUU, I need a bit more information.

What is your carrier?

And can you run

in fastboot and post the reply here?

I don't need your serial number and imei, blank those out for your safety.

This way I can find you an appropriate RUU.

Also, I posted a FULLY detailed instructional with a few links here for s-off.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
The symptoms are similar to those which occur when internal eMMC flash memory is wiped from boot menu via a pc(I've seen this before). That however, does not help at all, since there is no fix for that:(

Anyways, try the factory cable once before you can use it as the most expensive paperweight you may come to own:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I was afraid of that. I suspect that TWRP wiped the internal memory instead of the sdcard.

I always use the factory cable when flashing an sbf, but unfortunately that didn't help in this case. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Now, I'm sure that is a sign of some rather deep seated bug, but the thing is it has neither occurred on other devices, nor were the steps taken by you any different than the standard ones.

Your theory explains the outcome, but the thing is that partitions can't just "switch places", because even if such a corruption occurred, the locked boot loader should have kicked in on reboot, (probably) saving the device.

So how exactly it occurred, is quite a mystery, which lies somewhere on the eMMC chip:what:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
problem is old: Epsylon was done something like this when he try to change the partition. Result: maybe the ONLY way to hard brick the Defy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Well, he certainly did not trigger eFuses or tamper with the partition table, atleast not by any of the steps taken. So, the diagnostics are similar, but the causes quite different:)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipCetero:
I think that is what happened: the way Linux device numbering works, when /dev(/block)/mmcblk0 doesn't exist (because your MMC card or chip was broken), /dev(/block)/mmcblk1 is never created, and becomes mmcblk0 instead. On the Defy, mmcblk0 is the external MMC card, and mmcblk1 is internal memory. TWRP probably never checked and repartitioned mmcblk0, which was your internal memory because the device it should have been never was created.

I've done something similar (tried to repartition /dev/block/mmcblk1), and thought I'd bricked my phone, but two things happened:

1. with the original cable connected to the charger, the white LED would flash for just an instant when connecting/disconnecting the charger

2. when connected to the USB port, mashing the up/down/power keys randomly for a while would eventually result in white-LED (but no screen) SBF-flashable mode. I suppose there's some sort of menu or code, but it's not as simple as holding up while pushing power.

It's recovered now and is running Quarx's CM11. Worth one last try before you give up on it entirely.

Please let me know if I've done something horribly wrong, this is my first post.

ETA: I can confirm that TWRP is misbehaving when no MMC card is inserted in the phone, though for obvious reasons I've stopped short of trying what you did (I've only got this one phone!) It's probably worth a bug report to the right people, though I'm not sure who that is.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
+1 for misbehaving TWRP, however it did not mount any partition in my case, and so it was not possible to wipe anything. Not that I would have. Also, the "No OS found" message was triggered, probably because /system wasn't mounted

The difference between a fully wiped device and a partially wiped is the led, and the steady boot loader mode connection, which may or may not display any text on the device. Probably the only way to recover a fully wiped defy is JTAG(if interface exists)

Hi

do you try to flash a mb526 sbf?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I can't flash any sbf at all, because it seems TWRP deleted the bootloader.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
So , you can be happy :silly: .You are the first? one which have a unlocked bootloader on Defy. (sry for the silly)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x.theme:
Seems I am the second.

Today my defy suddenly can not boot into TWRP or andorid. After a sbf flash, I was following Quarx's site instruction of " from sbf to CM11 ", after a command though adb as root: cat /sdcard/bootstrap_ext3.img > /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 , defy got black screen and never responeded from there. No reaction on boot and plug in battery while holding vol+ and power. Still have not find a way to bring it back to life.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proverbs2:
I'm very sorry to hear that. Maybe your battery is dead? You could try charging the battery with an external wall charger, or try the "McGyver" method to charge it.

Good luck!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x.theme:
Tried both, still no luck, T_T

After the McGyver method, defy has white light on and black screen, can not get into bootloader, RSD still can not recognise anything...

Anyway, thanks for the tips!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool1007:
Hello,

I'm giving away my phone, and I thought it would be best to give it with stock Gingerbread ROM, because battery life was never good since ICS (at least for me, I have to charge the phone twice a day).

I have searched in the forums but can't find a safe guide to downgrade from a custom Android 4.3 to stock Gingerbread.

Your recommendations are very much appreciated.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ursa Warrior:
First of all you need to download your stock rom. You can download it from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

You will see a search bar when you open this page. Type i9100 in that bar and the page will open all stock roms of all countries. You can download a suutable rom.

After you have downloaded the rom follow the tutorial here on how to flash the rom on your phone.http://forums.androidcentral.com/ambassador-guides-tips-how-tos/300296-guide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html

After this is done, you are bound to receive errors like the process com.google.calendar has force stopped and whatnot has force stopped. Don't worry. Switch of your phone. Go into the stock recovery by pressing volume up+home+power key in serial order. Keep on holding these keys, until you reach the recovery. Once you are in the recovery navigate using the volume keys and select by the power key. Select wipe data/ factory reset, and agree to it. Now your phone will be fully wiped

After that you can reboot and your phone will work normally.

Hit the thanks button if i helped! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flasherruts:
Ursa Warrior is right.But it would be easier if you wiped before flashing the stock . enter recovery ( of PACman rom ) wipe data , cache and dalvik cache . go to settings and then select power off ( if there is no option of power off , press power button , volume down and home button so that you'll be in download mode .then follow ursa's instructions and flash stock via odin . hope i helped and all the best !

Having problems finding/identifying the latest ROM upgrade for your HTC Phone Edition device? Here’s the solution and full explanation!

It has always been rather complicated to find HTC ROM’s, especially if you live in a “peripheric” country (for example, Eastern Europe) where official IMEI numbers are not necessarily accepted. (This is the case with, for example, Qtek and some Eastern European countries – even if you buy an absolutely legal Qtek device from Qtek’s resellers, you won’t necessarily be able to use its services to, say, access the ROM upgrade download section).

Fortunately, the Dutch (it also has an English section, so, don’t be afraid of the language) HTC-related Pocket PC Web site, HTC Club collected all the links to all the currently available latest HTC device upgrades HERE.

I’ve thoroughly scrutinized their list and was, in general, pleased. All the download links are valid and the links indeed point to the latest available ROM upgrade versions. Make sure, however, that you compare the version numbers (more on their identification in the next section) in the “ROM Update” and the “Country specific ROM Update ” column (if the latter has a WWE version) because, in some cases, the latter may have a never version than the former, as is the case with the Qtek 9100 ROM.

Identifying the version number of a given ROM upgrade installer EXE file

How can I decide the correct version of a HTC ROM upgrade? - you may ask probably the most frequently asked question. It’s not that complicated.

The CWM web site shows 5.8 as the latest version. I searched these forums, but can't find a working link anywhere.

Can someone please tell me where I can download a CWM 6.x recovery?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Some people use the blasphemy kernel to flash from… but you need to already be on cm/aosp/aokp based rom for that kernel to boot back to recovery reliably.

I prefer to just flash a 4.3 rom then while still in recovery… pick reboot recovery. Do your wipes… data, cache, dalvik and format system..then flash the 4.4 rom of your choosing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xybyre:
Wait... so ROMs also contain a recovery? I always thought recoveries were independent from the OS, sort of like the BIOS for a PC.

I will download a 4.3 ROM and give it a shot. Thanks for the quick response!

[update]

Success! I had to flash two 4.3 ROMs, since the first one (ReVolt) only had CWM 6.0.3.3 (Status 7 when I tried flashing Kit Kat). The second one was Dirty Unicorns, which came with 6.0.4.4.

I also had to install the micro Google Apps package. The bigger ones wouldn't fit, for the Epic 4G Touch.

Thanks again, Gil81!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
When you flash a rom zip it will come with a kernel… on our device the kernel and recovery are locked together. In other words. We have to flash a new kernel to have a new recovery..most devices have a seperate partition for the recovery. So it makes this device a little bit of a pain. But if you read through some of the stickies and i have a little guide about flashing with mobile odin. You will get the hang of it.

Let me know if you need any other help. Glad your up and running.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iantrich:
Be Warned: Not all ROMs have recoveries. That being said, if going to CM11, I recommend starting with CM10 rom, which does have a recovery that is compatible with CM11 to an extent; flashing CM11 and then booting into the CM11 recovery and flashing CM11 one more time, then you gapps and what have you. This has worked the best for me in the past.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NEXUS_SEVEN:
Hey!

I have my newly imported Nexus 7 from New Jersey and I'm having some issues when it comes to gaming. Thing is, I'm new to Android as well as tablets. But being a hardcore PC gamer, I did my homework and found the most elite racing games before I ordered my tab. Turns out, Real Racing 3 and GT Racing 2 are the best there is out there, atm. So when I received my tab, I tried downloading RR3. Now lets look at the REAL problem- I have a ****ty internet. No, really. It goes out like 10 times a day. Then I have this speed issue. I pay for a 512 kbps speed but get only 50. Why don't you change it then, you say? I live in a Central Govt. colony and all internet providers are forbidden to set foot inside the colony gate. Failure in complying with the rules will result in their licenses getting cancelled (whoa!). So I have to live with what the central Govt. provides me with.

Anyways, so I have registered here just to post this topic. Since RR3 took centuries to download, I had to uninstall it. Then, I tried GTR2 and found out that downloading it from Playstore doesn't give you resumable download facility if your internet connection dies for even a sec. Fed up, I decided to give sideloading a try. Downloaded RR3 cache via PC from a website and put it in android/data/. The file was well over 1GB but running the app shows it has downloaded only 356 MB and still needs to an extra 711 MB. Downloaded GTR2's cache and put it in obb folder. It starts up and then crashes right away saying "Unfortunately GT Racing 2 has stopped". I'm so embarrassed and kinda screwed right now. I bought N7 only to find out I can't play games on it. I bought it solely for gaming when I'm on the move and now I can't seem to download these huge data files or the game just simply refuses to run. I have got Internet Download Manager on PC so I have downloaded game caches from third party websites without a problem but as you can see, even those efforts were futile. Are there any hopes for this situation? Anyone here knowing a workaround? Suggestions are more than welcome.
