[HTC Wildfire S] Yepi69:
I have a HTC Wildfire S, its a GSM device and I bought it from Vodafone a year ago, its still under warranty. It came with 2.3.3 pre-installed but I OTA updated it to 2.3.5. I unlocked the bootloader using the guide from htcdev, rooted it and installed Clockworkmod Recovery and backed up my current stock rom. I have installed Marvellous Sense 2.1 Cyanogenmod 7.1 on my Wildfire S and I ran into a problem with my phone, the POWER button needs a little bit of strength in order to actually work (I took the phone once to the beach and the button has been malfunctioning ever since) so I'm thinking of sending it to Vodafone to repair the button, my Wildfire S is SIM Unlocked (I went to those 'specialized stores' to unlock it, my guess is they used an unlock code for it) so I don't know if Vodafone will actually notice it, so I'm thinking of locking the bootloader again (not relock it) and then proceed to use the right RUU for my radio version, however I am dead afraid of bricking my phone, so can I get a little help with this? My theory is as it follows:

1- Leave the clockworkmod recovery installed and the custom rom as well

2- Lock the bootloader using a bootloader tool (I forgot the name of it)

3- Run the correct RUU for my radio version (7.57.39.10M)

4- Hopefully the RUU will delete the custom recovery and custom rom

5- Device would be back to normal with a completely stock ROM almost as untouched

Is this the correct proceeding? Also my stock Vodafone rom has a lot of portuguese Vodafone crapware installed which I don't think its in the original RUU for this phone (I might be wrong) I've been reading around XDA forum by forum and gathering everything I can get to safely restore my phone for warranty issues but I'm afraid I might f*ck it up, specially since it wasn't cheap and it was a brand new phone.

Thanks for the help guys :good:
[HTC Wildfire S] Yepi69:
BUMP sorry guys I hate bumping but I need to know this because I'm thinking of sending the phone soon.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Hi :) your procedure is correct and will work allowing the ruu has the correct cid for your phone.

An alternative would be to flash a stock rooted rom, and tear open the rom.zip from the ruu you have and then re-add your vodaphone boot animation.

And if your really stuck you could post a link to the ruu and i could make a safe flash rom from recovery, and pass you over the stock recovery as well. Then the plan would be

Nandroid backup

Wipe everything

Flash rom

Boot to fastboot

Flash stock recovery

Reboot and check all is well

Bootloader to lock bootloader

Profit lol also, last thing. Htc records when people unlock their bootloaders and you may have voided your warranty in the process. Just a thought :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Yepi69:
I'm aware of that, but even so I don't believe that alone voids my warranty because on HTCDEV's website it says it *may* void it, all I care is to bypass Vodafone's smartass checking, so basically I have to extract the rom.zip the RUU temporary creates, flash it everything (boot.img, system.img, recovery.img) through fastboot, reboot and check the rom's status and then finally use the tool to lock (not relock) the bootloader, can't I just wipe everything, lock the bootloader and use the correct RUU?

Also thanks.
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
You could assuming that it has a higher software version than yours, higher hboot and the correct cid you can by all means run the ruu. If you extract the rom.zip you will see a file called android.info or androidinfo.txt open it in a text editor and lists several Cid's that it will work for.

If you issue the following command via fastboot mode it will output lots of useful information about your phone including your cid.

Fastboot getvar all

Assuming everything matches up then by all means make a nandroid then run the bootloader tool, Then the ruu. The ruu wont run on an unlocked bootloader, and when you get your device back all nice and repaired you can just restore your nandroid backup and your back to were you left off :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Yepi69:
Can I run a RUU with the same baseband and radio version?

Basically I'll just need to lock the bootloader first right?

BUMP :highfive:

EDIT:

I have a backup of my vodaphone stock rom when I first rooted and installed clockworkmod, however that rom is rooted (but unmodified, clean 100% stock rom updated from OTA when I got it) I only made a backup after rooting it.

Can I just restore that backup, re-flash recovery to remove the root (I tried the rom's own recovery but that didn't remove root, superuser was still there) and then use the HTC bootloader tool to lock the bootloader?
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
Yeah restore the back up and flash the stock recovery. Then install SuperSU from the play market. It will state that it has compatibility issues with all other superuser apps and remove them upon request. Then from supersu's app menu select full unroot and it will remove all traces of it :) then relock the hboot using the tool. :)

[General Questions and Answers] kenlohwj:
Dear forumers, I'm having a problem turning on my location settings of my Motorola Atrix 2. Before this everything was fine, till I transfer all of my old SD contents to the new one I bought. After switching on the phone on my new SD, the GPS and WIFI location service are inaccessible. I remembered it pops up a box asking "Google will take the location information for something something" and I pressed disagree. Now when I tried to swipe the OFF button towards ON, it will force itself to the OFF position no matter what I tried. Clearing the 'Settings' data in Apps failed too.

So now I could not access it anymore. I even tried turning the GPS on using widgets and apps(that require me to turn on location) but to no avail. My phone is the Atrix 2, with customROM slimkat 4.4. Kindly help, thank you.

The standard programs -- wizSplash and splash_bmp_to_wizard -- produce an error message (ITWRITEDISK). Does anyone know how to change the first splash screen? (I'm using Xelencin's wonder T-Mobile customized version.)

I can change the second splash screen simply by dropping the appropriately sized 320 X 240 24bit png file named welcomehead.96.png in the /Windows directory. But I would like to change the T-Mobile first screen, too.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cizake:
Works for me.

just convert your image in PNG format 24bit.

write the file name: welcomehead.96.png

do not forget the . between 96.

rotate the image and resize it to 320*240 EXACT size. you may need to change aspect ratio.

Then place the file on your storage card and from the storage card copy it or move it to the root windows directory.

Soft reset and enjoy.

Second splash screen

This procedure -- welcomehead.96.png -- replaces the second splash screen, which on my MDA says "Windows Mobile." You can replace that by pasting the right kind of file -- a png, 24 bit, 240 X 360 -- over the existing file. I used explorer on activesync, and then just "Cntl V" to past the file. I couldn't delete the original (it is protected) but just replaced it this way. A hard reset would recover the original, but this procedure survives a soft reset.

Replacing the first splash screen is more complicated. There are threads (search for splash_bmp_to_wizard) that tell you how to do it, but they only seem to work on the older ROMs, at least they don't work for me.

ITWRITEDISK problem

My understanding is that molski's strategy does get around the writedisk error, since that was the problem I encountered.

Please post how it goes, I haven't had time to do this and the value seems low, since the screen is only on for 18 seconds on my unit. Changing the second screen was much easier and lasts a lot longer.

I'm currently running "blueish" but I tried several successfully first.

I am using T-Mobile 2.26 with only a few of the extended roms and that may be the reason; perhaps some of the extended roms lock the splash screen.

I tried to install one of Faria's splashscreens which you are talking about with 2.17, 2.21 and the latest 2.26 (ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...Mobile_US_226102_22610105_022511_WWE_Ship.exe) ROMS but for each of them I get the CHECKSUM ERROR, the device gets stuck and I have to reflash it in order to work again.

Prestonmcafee, if you say that it works for you there might be some differences between our installations. I flashed the 2.26 ROM and I bypassed the installation of all the cabs from the extended -rom and I didn't install any othe programs except the SPB & Resco packages. How come that those splashscreen updates work on your installation? Do you have any ideas, please, and could you please tell me how you installed the 2.26 for which those splashscreens work ?

Thank you !

Re: I tried those ones, too ...

The programs I installed can be found in this thread:

The splash screen I tried (all worked) are HTC logo, one of the HTC + WIndows (I don't remember which), T-Mobile (to see if I could change back), and bluish.

I had gotten the checksum error previously using the earlier automatic program (wizsplash?). These new programs worked for me. What device are you using? I have a US T-Mobile MDA, about 4 months old. I'm not sure what the types are but there is a fair bit of discussion of G4 device differences; perhaps that is the difference.

Thanks for the reply

Hello, Mr. Prestonmcafee . Thank you for the reply and for pointing me that thread. I got the idea about what splashscreens and ext-rom you installed. There is still one thing I didn't get - sorry for that. Which ROM (version) did you use ? You say that "I'm still using Xelencin's extended rom (with 2.26), nothing from the 2.26". But here you are talking about the Ext-ROM, right ? Could you please tell me exactly the link to this 2.26 ( AFAIK there is only one 2.26 which is not that old, though).

Thank you so much.

PS I have a Wizard(Qtek 9100) - 8 months old (I think the original ROM was 1.17 or smth like this)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Here is what I did. First, with Xelencin's 2.24 installed, I copied over the extended ROM onto my miniSD using Total Commander. Then I installed T-Mobile' 2.26 but interrupted the installation of the extended ROM, and restored my previous files with SPB Backup, which has the effect of reinstalling the Xelencin extended ROM, since these are installed into ROM.

That worked fine. At this point, I copied the new extended ROM to my miniSD, and began the thread to figure out what each of these program does. Then I reflashed with T-Mobile 2.26 and installed my choice of file, which are found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=57726&highlight=

I did this manually, installing them as regular programs. All of the program except the last three come from 2.26, not from Xelencin; the last three come from Xelencin's extended ROM, though not from T-Mobile. This is the configuration I have when I was able to flash the splash screen.

Hmm, not too well...

Thank you, Mr Prestonmcafee for your time and support.

I tried to do as you said, but I got stuck from the very first step. I tried to install Xelencin's ROM - I installed it and at boot time guess what: I got the same message "CHECKSUM ERROR".

Now, I am at a dead end, except that I have a hope - I noticed (finally) a strange thing: for every update of the SplashScreen that I tried to do (and which failed, unfortunately) the update utility reports that the installed ROM version is 1.2.0.0 (I think this is the ROM that I bought the device with); the same thing happens when trying to flash Xelencin's ROM (which fails); as for MR Clean's ROM - I tried it too, it reports the old version as being 1.2.0.0 but the system is installed OK ( and it has the fastest boot time I saw until now).

I attached also the pictures (the last 2 steps) with what I get when trying to update the splashscreen with the custon blueish one on the latest T-Mobile 2.26 ROM.

It says clearly that I have the 1.2.0.0 version.

Where is the ROM version stored? How come that it reports a 1.2.0.0 when I have installed 2.26? Is this a problem? Cause I really hope that this is the problem and that someone knows a straightforward solution :?

Please, please, can someone help, cause I.m getting more and more frustrated.

Thank you so much.

Out of my league

I don't really know, but it sounds to me like the ROM didn't install properly. I'm surprised, however, that you have functionality.

Some machines need to be CID unlocked to have the ROM flashed; Xelencin's ROM has the CID unlocker built in. There are various threads about what to do about improper ROM installs -- search "bootloader" --but as I have never encountered them, I didn't pay much attention.

Probably the right thing to do is just enjoy your device and hope that by the time you really need to reflash your wizard, there is a fix on the board. Personally, I would keep trying until I fixed or bricked it. It is a personality flaw.

Hi, thank you for the reply. My device is CID unlocked, I did it the days after I bought it. Thank you for the advice, I will try to find some more info. As for myself, I am exactly the same: fix it or not, I will try it until something happens (good or bad).
