[HTC One S] nikunrp:
Hi everyone, I am fairly new to doing all this, but for last three days or so, I've been really frustrated due to not getting S-OFF on my HTC one s ville. I want to run Sense 6 ROM by Liberty, but was having lot of problems, so someone suggested I try to get S-OFF. I tried rumrunner like 5 times, but failed. Tried installing other ROMs and did it again, still failed, but this what did it.

1) FIRST, flash the following ROM (CM11S_ville_2.15_v3.1_kk-final, from this link http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-oneplus-one-stock-rom-cm11s-one-s-t2869703), it has its own Kernel, so just flash the boot.img as usual and flash the ROM.

2) Now go ahead and restart your phone and activate the debugging, etc. Also make sure SuperSu is in there, if not, then go ahead flash that again, then restart your phone and open the app to activate it.

3)HERE IS THE KEY NOW --> CHANGE YOUR KERNEL TO THIS --> bubba_kernel-2014-07-26_Ville (get it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2134535). Download it from Post# 2 at the bottom under Donate and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM POST #4

4), go ahead and let the phone turn on. Make sure SuperSu is still there and activated. Also set screen timeout to maximum, so it doesn't go blank on you, DEACTIVATE all screen locks as well.

4) Make sure all your drivers are up to date (FOLLOW all the instructions on http://rumrunner.us/instructions/)

5) Tip --> Follow this video step by step --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeFwsqU4YL4 (key is to make a separate folder which has rumrunner and drivers together).

6) Run the rumrunner and don't forget to disable your antivirus software and firewell in your computer.

Here is the video guide on how to flash any ROM if you have S-ON --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNR84FST1KQ&channel=kinglightboy

I am sure this will simply get you S-OFF easily.

It just needs an "unsecure kernel" and this one does the job :).

[HTC One S] sjorge3442:
anyone else try this out yet? I am going to be trying later on today.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
please let me and others know if it worked or not. It most likely should as long as you do everything correctly.
[HTC One S] sjorge3442:
So I have installed the rom but I am confused on the part of installing the kernel. With my m7, all I do is flash it in recovery. THis whole, adb through twrp is confusing to me. How do I pull the boot image from twrp after I flash the kernel? Currently, I have not tried flashing the kernel, since I cannot figure out how to do adb commands through twrp. Any suggestions? When I go to ADB Sideload, all it does is says connecting to adb sideload, yet it never connects. I am on TWRP 2.7.1.2

adb pull /tmp/newboot.img

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot newboot.img

fastboot reboot

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

I just had the brilliant idea to see if my HTC one M7 would connect via sideload. It did not. I believe I am having a driver issue. I am in the process of redoing all my drivers now. On the plus side, that OnePlusOne rom is actually pretty sweet and snappy.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
Hey, go to control panel --> then programs and features --> search (via search box on the top) HTC --> any drivers that show up, uninstall them completely.

Now go ahead and download HTC Sync from online. Once it is downloaded, uninstall it (this will download drivers for HTC, but uninstalling will only get rid of programs and NOT the drivers. Now go ahead and search in C drive "adb" and then "fastboot" and delete anything that's there. Restart the computer

Now, make sure you have these 4 files in C drive (if you don't have them, PM me your email address and I will send it to you).

1. adb.exe

2. AdbWinApi.dll

3. AdbWinUsbApi.dll

4. fastboot.exe

Once you put these files in C drive, then anytime you open command prompt and type in these commands for HTC, it will work perfectly without you changing the location.

Now connect your HTC device to computer, open the command prompt (once it's done with driver installation) and type in this: adb devices and press enter. You should see HTC with numbers and it should say attached. If it is, you are set. If it's not, something is interfering.

Make sure you have the latest TWRP as well. When you have to flash the kernel, first put that zip file in your phone, then go in recovery mode and flash it (install--> and click on the kernel file, no need to wipe data or anything). Once it's done flashing, don't press anything and Open the command prompt and type in the commands it says. This will flash the kernel automatically and you don't have to do anything. Once it's done, follow the commands that I wrote.
[HTC One S] sjorge3442:
I did everything that you said to and I put those 4 files on my C directory (I had them saved my on m7) and I still cannot utilized adb sideload. It doesn't recognize any device when I search for adb devices after or before I flash the bubba kernel.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
why are you using sideload? your phone doesn't boot up? if it does. There is definitely driver problem and computer.

First check this video and see if you have the latest driver --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltR2uQJxNRw

If it's old version, delete the driver and install the latest one. I had that problem and did so many different things so solve, but then I found this video and realized that the driver was old.
[HTC One S] sjorge3442:
Im not trying to use sideload. I also have full access to ADB when the phone is booted up. Its just when the phone is in recovery that I cannot push any commands.

Heres what I do.

I flash the bubba kernel zip via TWRP (Whichever version the OnePlusOne rom says to use).

Then, without touching anything, I try to run the adb commands listed in Post #4, which pulls the boot img.

^^^This does not work. The phone doesnt recognize the commands.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
before sending any command, when you type "adb devices", does the device show up?
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
before sending any command, when you type "adb devices", does the device show up?

When you say phone boots up, can check the phone (settings --> about phone) if it already installed this new kernel, if it did, then run rum-runner software and see if it gets you S-off. If not, then I'd fix these drivers issue, then re-install CM rom and Bubba kernel and run rum-runner again.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
I have HTC one S ville, i thought you are getting s-off on that. I am not sure how kernel thing will work on M7
[HTC One S] sjorge3442:
When i flash the kernel, and check the version while the phone is booted, it still is listed at the cm based kernel. With the phone up and running, my ADB drivers recognize it fine. Its when the phone is in recovery that I cannot read adb. Neither the S or my M7 are read while in recovery from ADB.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
i would still uninstall all the HTC related drivers and everything. Then again download HTC sync and then uninstall it. Then again make sure you have the right "tools" installed (those 4 files) and try it then and see how that goes. I had to do that like several times to finally make it work.
[HTC One S] nikunrp:
found this interesting video, which is similar to your situation, so might want to try it out and see what happens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8mheIkQ-1o&ab_channel=DanPasanen

Also what I have noticed that different data cables worked differently. Just right now, I tried using one of the USB cables, and it doesn't work, while it works on the other USB cable. So try switching cables.
[HTC One S] odroopie:
In December I went S-OFF (to go super CID) using rumrunner. I was HBOOT 2.15 using CM12. (I was also TMOBO10). It didn't work. It seemed the SELinux was causing problems. I reverted to the CM10 ROM that I had been using. I clean installed and didn't bother with gapps. After that, rumrunner worked just fine. I ran it off of my Ubuntu box.

Either flash a kernel, or ROM with a suitable kernel. I knew my CM10 would get me where I wanted to go, and it seemed tiresome to root through all the descriptions to find a kernel.
[HTC One S] k3v1nj4n:
Tried other ways 100 times, only this worked. thanks!
[HTC One S] mr_verystock:
Um... Just use this?

[HTC One S] justcallmeTHEKID:
worked for me,I couldn't get it to super cid for some reason so I said **** it and just s offed. Rum runner worked after 2 trys so don't quit if it doesn't work the first try.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kregstrong:
Anyone notice their screen getting scratched up from just normal use? I've never dropped mine, just keep it in my pocket, and it has all these hairline scratches u can only see in the right light. I can honestly say I don't treat this phone any different than any of my others and I have never had this happen. Gs5, g3, g2, gs4, note 2. The only one I seem to remember doing this is the galaxy nexus. Anyone else having this problem? Guess I'm gonna need a screen protector. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N166A LOG1K:
I had a screen protector on it since day one.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
This has happened with all of my previous phones as well. I always end up with a screen protector because of it. This time I went with a Tempered Glass screen protector immediately after pulling the phone out of the packaging. It wasn't worth running the risk again.

Take a look at the tempered glass protector thread. There are a lot of options in there. Jelly Comb and Orzly seem to be the best. I've used both and recommend either one.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicomtesse:
My phone was working fine till this morning when I had some weird phantom touch issues. So I thought to simply reboot my phone and see if that helps.

When I rebooted... it went straight into TWRP Recovery (2.8.0.1).

I tried System Reboot from there. Straight back into TWRP.

I tried restoring an old backup and rebooting. Straight back into TWRP.

I tried factory reset, wiping everything manually, installing new roms, installing old roms (all of which have worked before)... everything just booted into recovery instead of system rebooting.

I tried powering off and booting into Fastboot by holding down Power + Vol Up buttons. The phone can turn off successfully, but it will not enter Fastboot. I just get a black screen after the 1+ square logo.

Whatever I do, my phone seems to be stuck in recovery. What can I do to fix it? Thank you!

I have a rooted nexus 6 . When i download a song using music download apps from playstore they donot show up in the music player tracklist. I use musiXmatch to play music . When i download a song it gets stored in the music folder in storage. The player reads all the songs that present in the music folder but the one downloaded from the app. The music file i downloaded and the pre existing music files are the same type audio/mpeg.

Hey, my buddy has got Hermes with 2.11.255.1 [03/07/07] ROM version (test with 3.3 Aku) on aboard. And guess what - it seems he doesn't have WModem.exe in his Windows folder! Now he can't make his new Herm a modem for his laptop. Please, if someone has cab file with WModem.exe (and other needed files and registry values / keys) , attach this cab to this topic,ok? Thanx in advance from me and my buddy.

Ps. We don't want to reflash to another Rom image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] krntehknik303:
Has anyone experienced random reboots on the latest firmware update from T-Mobile?

Don't know how to reproduce the problem to pinpoint what's causing the issue. This is the third time it has happened... Is doing a Master Reset the only option? (Wanted to mention I'm all stock, first phone where I don't see Root is necessary, IMO, just yet.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Commodore 64:
Didn't see a need to update mine. Still on BH5 and things are working great.

I guess I would try clearing cache first, from the recovery menu. If that didn't solve the reboot problems ... Clear cache+factory reset but make sure you back up everything first. Full factory reset on the S5 wipes the internal SD card as well. Downloads, files, pictures, text messages, phone call log ... Will be all gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] krntehknik303:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] krntehknik303:
I don't understand. I try to wipe cache partition and it works on command but once I reboot the phone it says error and it just loads up the phone. What's up with that? Do I need to factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicknsxy:
Some are saying that the volte is causing this. I have turned that off and havent seen a reboot since
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] krntehknik303:
That's weird because I've never had this issue until the most recent update. Sigh. This is annoying as hell. Can't even enjoy the phone stock.

Funny, I just checked my settings and I don't even have volte on my phone. There is no toggle for it so I'm assuming its non existent for my phone??

Do tell once you get it. I'm interested in well, but I will wait to hear from some of the early adopters. The pictures online look more like design drawings, not actual photos of a note edge in the case.

seidio case and belt clip

just received my seidio case and belt clip.... loving it ... not bulky and great fit for the note edge...just what i've been looking for. :D
[Note Edge Accessories] emtownsend:
I will be ordering one too. I have the Verizon clam-shell case and it is very inconvenient to put the phone back in since it is "loaded" sideways. I'm afraid I will drop it putting it back in!
[Note Edge Accessories] *Omnipresent*:
Belt clip holster and case boxes.

Belt clip holster and case

Installation is easy. The case comes in 2 parts that slide together and interlock.

Kickstand deployed

Imo, Seidio did a great job. The case is of very good quality and is lighter and thinner than my Casemate pop case. The case itself is made of high impact plastic, with a soft tough rubber coating that feels wonderful to the touch, providing a smooth but good grip. The belt clip holster is made of similar plastic as the case and has a soft felt lining inside to protect your phones display. The belt clip also rotates 180 degrees to the left or right. Your phone can only be inserted face in, right side up. The kickstand is metal and feels sturdy and tucks away flush in the case when not in use. Only complaints are the high price and i wish the kickstand was a little wider.

I give it a 9 out of 10 with 2 thumbs up:good::good:
[Note Edge Accessories] emtownsend:
OK, I ordered one from Android Central tonight. The combo was only $44.95! (On sale I guess) Thanks for posting the pics.

I've had Seidio combo cases in the past and they have consistently been my favorite in function and quality.

Placement of the mic holes

I have the Verizon Note 4 that I'm swapping out for the Edge. I also have the Seido combo for the Note 4 and the microphone holes on the bottom of the phone don't line up as Verizon slightly changed the placement of the mic. Which variant do you have and if it is the Verizon version, do the holes of the Seido case line up with the mic holes of the case? Thanks in advance.
[Note Edge Accessories] steve austin:
sold american!

This is just what I have been waiting for. A sturdy case with a kick stand that is not bulky (like the other 3 I purchased). I ordered just the case for 31 bucks off android central. It will be here in a few days. Thanks for yhe heads up.
[Note Edge Accessories] steve austin:
My case came in the mail saturday .. This is THE case that I haave been looking for. Its thin, adds little to no weight and has a freaking kick stand! Thank you for the introduction to this product .. :good::good:
[Note Edge Accessories] misterwal10:
I just received mine today that I ordered from Newegg last week ($35 for the combo). Overall I have to say this is my favorite case so far ( had a $10 one from Amazon when the phone first came out and the Incipio dual shock pro since that was released).

It is much slimmer than both, which also allows me to use my right angle cord for my headphones(beats-Android version). The kickstand is awesome and its holster is much better than having using the note 2 otterbox, that fit well-but the clip kept breaking...this one is much more sturdy. The buttons are also cutout and are much easier to use. It's also easy to pop on& off, so if u are a spare battery person is a breeze.

The only downfall I see initially is that it is a little slippery for now, but I feel like that will go away as I use it more.

That picture made my head hurt... The simple fix for this is the settings button that CM and most aftermarket ROMs include on the volume bar. Tap volume, Tap the gear and then adjust whichever volume you want.
