I have a very similar problem

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.

Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom via fastboot after restoring your backup.

[HTC One S] chrons6:
Thank you for trying to help. I understand what you are saying; however, my problem is that I cannot get the phone into fastboot.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.
[HTC One S] chrons6:
Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.

I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.
[HTC One S] zubeedubs:
does the pc recognize the phone via usb?? you could try with using CMD script to boot into bootloader... i think there is one present on windroid:

as you say you are already HTC-savvy, so its worth a try before you dish out any money on it!!
[HTC One S] chrons6:
Thanks for the help.

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2094414

But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?

Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.

Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Which error code?

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU ;)

And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

[HTC One S] emilianorossi:
How did you enter the fast boot?

I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.

All button-combinations tried.

The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.

Adb do not see any connected device.

I guess I have to change the motherboard.

No use Chrome you can use the user agent switcher in Chrome it's an extension, change it to ie8 that way you can use the browser everything else tends to just work from torrents to updates, you will have to retest the anti virus updates see if they still allow it (I haven't used windows since August)

No, this is a different item. Like you, I turn off the auto-brightness too. I haven't nailed down when it happens, but it's just a quick bit of feint flickering for me, then back to normal. Kind of hard to explain I guess. I've noticed it a couple times a day since I got mine last week with pretty heavy usage.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] icedtrip:
My thoughts exactly. The more I read some of the forums, the more I regret my decision of getting the HDX on sale vs the Nexus 7....I was looking at the great specs and not thinking of more, but last night showed me the potential this thing has when I installed the AOSP ROM. Not perfect, but potential. Liking AOSP over the Gapps ROM despite not having music and video.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] icedtrip:
While reading yesterday's XKCD "What if?", I was able to reproduce the flicker reasonably well. It showed up frequently on the white theme of "Press", but not the dark one (or I simply didn't notice it as much). I did a quick video showing it the best I could. Sorry for the shakiness. The primary time-frame it happens is between 12-16 second mark.

[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
Hello,

I am doing a bit of research, and was wondering if I could get some people to tell me what firmware version their chromecasts come shipped with.

If you have a new in-box chromecast, the best way to do this is:

Unbox the chromecast, and plug it into power.

Connect to the chromecast AP network (named ChromecastXXXX) from a laptop or mobile device. Do not setup the chromecast with the setup application!

Visit the following URL from the machine that is connected to the chromecast:

http://192.168.255.249:8008/setup/eureka_info?options=detail

and report back the build_version number it shows on the first line.

NOTE: If you have a device that was already setup using the chromecast setup application, then the device has taken a google OTA update, and will not help with my sample.

If you want to help, please report back the firmware version using the method above, plus the first 4 digits/letters of your serial #, as well as the country you purchased the device from.

Thank you very much!

Can you boot in recovery mode? I think you can disable MD5 check.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
An "MD5" file is a hash file that is used to verify that a download was successful (well, in this case, not in all cases. I use MD5's in some of my code for authentication so I don't need to store usernames and passwords in my database. An MD5 is harder to reverse engineer (especially if I salt the username and password pair) than a plain text username/password pair thing). If you go to the webpage in your browser for the ROM you are downloading, goo.im's website lists the MD5. If you go into shell on your phone and type in "md5 " followed by the name of the file you downloaded, it will tell you the MD5 of that file (you may need busybox). If the numbers match between shell and the website, you are good to go and can disable the MD5 check in recovery. If they do NOT match, you have a bad download and will need to re-download it.

Wiping caches shouldn't care about an MD5 as there is nothing to compare. Backups and restores and zip flashes care about MD5's as if you have a bad download (or bad backup or bad restore) you can brick your phone.

for more information on MD5's, look at the wikipedia page:

I have LG Optimus 4X HD since 2012. It was good until I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 (official). Severe battery drain, game lags, heating etc forced me to install custom ROMs. First tried CM, better than stock but not as good as I wanted; then tried MIUI V5, much better than both stock & CM. Never tried custom kernels though. I even tried other Chinese ROMs (based on stock) to see if better. Battery, UI etc were more than satisfactory with MIUI but lags in games and sometimes hanging while opening apps were still frustrating. Then one day I saw "Performance Booster" somewhere & gave a try with free version first. It drastically changed the performance then I installed donate version which improved overall experience. As mentioned in the app it didn't improve benchmarks but improved phones performance for sure. In other words, it saved my money from buying a new phone. Now I don't need new one as I have 'Huawei Mediapad X1' for reading, games & watching videos, which I bought here in China for less than 300$ (it's 400 Euros outside China).
