:( Dear Developers,

Since few times ago I am searching information regarding with firmware downgrade for HTC One X updated on ****er version 4.2.2 bootloader 1.72. (I ma so sorry for bad words, but really I don't understand who and why created this firmware with so many bugs). Unfortunately there are a lot of information and disinformation regarding with firmware downgrade procedures. Already I tried almost all what I found until now to unlock the bootloader but everything I tried I didn't found solution to turn S-OFF on this model. Somebody say that is impossible to turn S-OFF on HTC One X, somebody else give some information, starting with HTC One X and finish with other model HTC One, so please somebody who know in details all versions, give us correct information what we are able to do on this particular device (HTC One X) with specific firmware already installed.

Any kind of help shall be much appreciated.

Best regards!

Actually:

Unlocking the Bootloader on the HTC phone maybe as simple as you think!

Note:

1.	Go here First xda-developers

2.	Register as a developer.

3.	Go to phone Setting’s

4.	For none Developer phones on Andriod

5.	Go to Setting’s then About, HTC SDK API Level and start tapping on it to get developer options, continue tapping till it says “Your now a Developer”

6.	In Settings go to Power, scroll down to where it says “Fastboot” and un-check it. You will need this to get into your boot menu.

7.	BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA. Because “unlocking your BootLoader” WILL WIPE OUT ALL YOU’RE DATA. You will go back to the settings when you initially bought the phone.

8.	Power Down

9.	After powering down, press Volume Down and while pressing Volume Down, press Power holding both buttons to start the device into Bootloader mode. If you have difficulty, power up normally, go to Settings->Battery and deselect Fast boot ( If you forgot to do this). Power down and try again.

10.	Use the Volume buttons to select up or down. Highlight Fastboot and press the Power button.

11.	Connect the device to the computer via a usb cable

12.	Go back to xda-developers, Login (If you already have not do so)

13.	Select the link for unlocking the Bootloader, make sure your phone is plugged into the pc as discussed above.

14.	Follow the simple instruction’s; you will get on the right of the screen where you can select one of the HTC this tool will work with only HTC devices on the list. THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR the phone’s on the list!

15.	A POP UP menu will come up after you select the phone on the list it will be a warning.

16.	Check off the warnings (AT YOUR OWN RISK) Remember this is heavy duty!

17.	The next screen will be the scariest for newbie’s “What to select”

18.	Download the following fastboot binary for your OS using the following links:

19.	Platform Download Size (bytes) Checksum fastboot binary, Linux

20.	(Unzip the file before executing) Fastboot 618 ffd3b02cdf9aa7609462e3957663d238

21.	fastboot-binary, OS X

22.	(Unzip the file before executing) fastboot-mac

23.	Fastboot binary, Windows

24.	(Unzip the file before executing) fastboot-win 83753	a90c25141e306b3062dc8e47e14a1005

(Make sure you are logged into XDA-Developers FIRST before linking to it)

25.	I have not gotten to the point past this because I unlocked my BootLoader the old fashioned way. But this way seems a great deal easier than searching for your HTC and not finding the right choice. I have already unlocked my cell and rooted, and through trial and error I got the right OS Modification “InsertCoin Here” Hope I placed this in the right Forum.

Hello people!

Help a HTC newbie out.

I am getting my developer edition m8 soon and been doing the necessary reading and preparations..

I come from 3 generations of Samsung devices so bear with me :)

From what I gathered, all developer edition means is HTCDEV unlock, nothing more, nothing else.

Second thing I gathered is that this alone isn't really enough to be flashing roms left and right which is my goal here really :)

So the way I see it is I'll need to htcdev unlock and then S-Off the device?

Is that correct? Where does rooting/custom recovery come into picture?

Will S-Off void my warranty? Is is really required?

Any tips are appreciated!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
You can flash rom with just the unlock as soon as you flash a custom recovery. Dev edition comes unlocked out of the box. S-off is not necessary if all you want to do is flash Roms and kernels.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Thanks [MENTION=2043788]housry23[/MENTION]! Ok, so why is s-off necessary?

Tapatalkin'
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
I suppose it's for more than that!

Like flashing modems, altering partitions or changing other partitions than the usual boot (kernel) and ROM partitions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
I read that w/o s-off I can't flash boot.img via recovery, only via fast boot which complicates flashing roms. So that's incorrect?

Does anyone know if an exploit is likely to be developed for my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Model SM-G730V? Kingo recognizes the phone but Root fails.

[General Questions and Answers] bangeko:
Root for this model already achived with VROOT.
[General Questions and Answers] Septfox:
I really hope this isn't a stupid question, but...

Where, aside from arrays.xml, could I possibly find the arrays used to control screen auto-brightness?

The section that they would normally be in looks like so:

<array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels" />
<array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues" />
<array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues" />
<array name="config_autoBrightnessKeyboardBacklightValues" />

Now, I know something, somewhere has to contain values for it, because auto-brightness...well, works. Not especially well due to its stock settings (a bit too bright in dark, too dim to use in full sunlight), but it is definitely receiving input from the light sensor.

Related information:

This is on an LG Ally (vs740), running Velocity 1.2. I did check the stock rom's arrays.xml, and found the same thing, so it's not just a custom-rom oddity.

Perhaps related:

Apparently, the Ally doesn't use a standard interface(?) for its light sensor. All that programs trying to access it can get is its model ("Temporary v1"), no readings; this makes using a third-party solution impossible, as I have yet to find a program that can properly access it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oadbylad:
I was hopeing i would not have any need to post for help...but there you go

I brought the above phone with the "sony boot loop" fault thinking that i could fix it after reading loads of tips and threads

Turns out i cant :)

I started with Flashtool everything went ok said it had flashed .....still stuck in boot loop

then went on to Sony Mobile to try repair that also went all the way through the process

result

Stuck in boot

Up next was Emma

That told me the phone was locked

so now over to Sony support for unlock code did this with adb/fastboot back to Emma said phone was locked :) now bald!

Back to Flashtool unlocked the phone in -777 sec or what ever

back to Emma

Result see att.

Now ive gone trough this twice now and the phone id still in "Sony boot loop"

I was now thinking i could be a hardware error .....but when the Sony logo comes up it looks just fine so not the screen and at one stage i even had the Xperia logo

Any help or ideas would be muchly appreciated

Thank you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oadbylad:
All sorted now and running just great

It was a fault on the battery ....replacement fitted and it cured the problem :)

Hi,

I have flashed my phone with the new Android Revolution 63 ROM, and i have a problem where no matter what i select in the Sense toolbox, my status bar icons are all white. I had this problem before with the Android Revolution 52 ROM but i managed to at least get my battery icon to be coloured, but only if i selected the one which included a percentage on the icon. I have tried restarting the phone after i make the settings changes and this doesn't help. Has anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks,

Matt.

[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Are you tired of seeing all that free space in your system partition? Well let's make use of it by moving your dalvik-cache to the system partition saving you a lot more space for apps and downloads;) Its all done automatically at boot all you have to do is hit thanks and flash the zip provided in recovery and reboot.

Update: should work on every rom just flash in recovery. hboot version no longer matters
[HTC One Mini] theodorius123:
thanks! sounds nice!

two questions:

1. what partitions are used for actual CM-nightlies? I flashed the 4.4.2 OTA a while ago, does this mean I have the new partition-layout?

(maybe a quick tip for everyone how to check which layout is used)

2. do we have to flash this every time we flash a new nightly?
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Yes but as far as the second question you'll have to modify updater script anyway since you have the newer firmware every time you flash a new nightly. So what I do is also delete the line that says "format" also. That way any system modifications you make won't be touched.

Sent from my One Mini
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Also with this mod you can make youre own init.d scripts and just put em in the init.d directory and they will run at boot. So you don't need a scripter app. Just set the permissions of your scripts accordingly 755 should do the trick;)

Sent from my One Mini
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
AFAIK CM still uses the "old" layout. That means you'll have to modify the CM nightly zips to flash them successfully to your device, if it has the new partition layout.

I made a new thread to share my insights and to describe how to check which layout a device has: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713849
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Its very very easy to do simply open updater script look for the number 33 change it to 35 then look for 31 and change it to 33 then flash the ROM and flash my mod from this post and you're good to go.
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
I'm just wondering if it's necessary to modify the boot.img, too? It contains a fstab, doesn't it? However, it seems to work as well with the original boot.img from the cm zip.
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
There is a custom kernel in this mod with the adjustments made that's why theres two different versions.lol
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
this actually sounds great, never understood why htc kept 5gb to themselves.

however im on hboot 2.19, s off and quite happy with my phone as it is...would love to free up an extra 1GB though

thanks
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Yeah there is really zero advantage to upgrading hboot.lol
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Quality! so for users like myself that are on (hboot 2.19) pre hboot 2.22...just flash the 4.2/4.3 link.aye ??
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Yessir
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Brilliant! so re: the CM nightlies.."simply open updater script look for the number 33 change it to 35 then look for 31 and change it to 33 then flash the ROM and flash my this mod".

also i normally unzip,delete all the apps,libs that i dont need/use, add pure x performance mod, add google launcher.xposed etc ..i can just do that the same way huh?

sorry for all the questions bud and thanks again
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Yup, though pure x is virtually a placebo. I wouldn't even use it.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
yeah , see i wasn't too sure about it. as you say a placebo. although it does reduce the animation scale down...which i feel makes a difference but i suppose that can be done in dev options
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
You can switch animation off in development settings.lol or adjust it.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
just a heads up!! flashed your zip but keeps rebooting into recovery. hboot 2.19, twrp 2.6.3. latest cm11 nightly
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Did ya flash the right one
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
yup! for firmware 4.2/4.3
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
I'll check it out right now
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:

Try this. Did you ever downgrade hboots? I just flashed the zip and it worked?
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
no been on this hboot since day one. i will dload and try out now, gimme a min

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Same again!! seems to flash ok in recovery,extracts,sets permissions, unmounts filesystem BUT again just keeps booting into recovery. tried it twice
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
I'm still looking into it. I'll see what I can do. this is strange cuz I've flashed it several times now.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
yeah no problem, as i say am using jmz twrp 2.6.3, are you using YOUR (port) cwm advanced recovery, maybe??
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
No I'm using the same recovery and everything I'll getter sorted shortly here.
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0xIhMfx77oQSXFBSDhGYUVzU3c/edit?usp=docslist_api

If this don't work idk?
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
nah, still no joy! enter recovery, install zip,reboot system and it keeps booting to recovery. no matter cheers anyway
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
One thing you can try is flashing the boot.img with fastboot just extract it from the folder.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
might give that a bash, am s-off tho and normally flashing boot.img doesn't matter
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Eh it might actually do the trick the system files flash just the boot didn't.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
fair play, i'll prob try that tomorrow after i slim down my cm11 and gapps to the bones.cheers and i will let you know how it goes
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Yeah just keep me posted if problem persists so we can find a solution.
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
ok so tried the 3 versions that i downloaded, flashed the zip,rebooted into bootloader and flashed boot.img (adb said it was "okay" and writing boot) again it just kept booting into recovery. so am not having any luck? not to worry i have enough space for now, cheers tho
[HTC One Mini] cmvienneau:
Sorry bout that bro. I do have another mod I'm using now which puts your system in the cache partition and gives you a big cache partition then remade the boot.img so the dalvik goes into cache rather than touching your system. Iam using it right now iam s-on so its a safe mod. Anyone wants to try it let me know.
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
Do the common recoveries work with that mod? Especially wiping dalvik-cache via recovery.

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try with vipers rom 5.1.0:cool:

lots of tweaks

you will love it i think

before flashing the rom

make a nandroid just in case from 4ext

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)

flash the rom

done

by the way i suggest to update 4ext recovery to the latest version

download and install 4ext updater

from the app install the latest version of 4ext

[HTC Sensation] vinukondamahesh:
thank you but i think i made some mess here i didnt do nandroid backup for original rom so i think i never can go back to original rom if i want?????
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
don't worry you can always flash the original rom
[HTC Sensation] vinukondamahesh:
ho how ?

after installing rom ViperS/C2 5.1.0 - is it needed to flash with thisss...

'Venom Kernel flasher for S-ON user's"
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if the rom booted fine then there is no need to use it

otherwise use it

or if you have 4ext recovery enable smartflash from it and then flash the rom
[HTC Sensation] vinukondamahesh:
yes rom is but right nw i am in india will this rom support indian freq there anything to change because i dont want any t mobile things so that i can get better signal
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the flashable roms doesn't affect radio at all

don't worry
[HTC Sensation] vinukondamahesh:
everything is awesome but battery drain is high i check with gscam battery monitor showing -151mA
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
don't judge the battery exactly after flashing the rom

give 4-5 circle charges until it settles down

then see how the battery behaves

hiee guys!

I have found an interesting launcher which is approximately ~ 388 kb!!

Though there are many launchers available everywhere which are quite interesting but the thing that annoys much is their size!!

Requirements : Requires Android 2.2 and up.

Some Features:

1. Light in size (~ 388 kb)

2. Faster than many of the available launchers..

3. great graphics/ icons

4. new folders layout

5. smoother vertical apps grid scrolling

6. ics: manage wallpapers defaulted

7. ics: fixed dock bootstrapping for browser.

8. no special requirements.

9. ics: preferences icon updated.

DO THIS IF YOU WANT KIT KAT STYLE (ANY ANDROID VERSION!) VERY EASY TO DO :

After applying launcher..

GO TO PREFERENCES>APPLICATIONS GRID>APPEARANCE>TRANSPARENCY>DRAG IT TO "0".

FOR DOCK:

GO TO PREFERENCES>DOCK>BACKGROUND>SEARCH FOR TRANSPARENT & SELECT IT!

DOWNLOAD FROM:
