[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Seems not to be so urgent then. If you're bored, here is the way to get back to stock:

Unlock bootloader again, flash custom recovery, flash custom sense based rom, set your phone S-OFF ( This will allow you to flash RUUs with lower version number than actually installed), Flash latest available RUU, Set your phone back S-ON, run latest OTA via android.

If you really want to go this way, i can write some more detailled guide with links :P
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Thanks for the help :) and I will try it soon. If you could provide me with a detailed guide and links; that would be great. I really appreciate it :).
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
I' very sorry, just wanted to collect the needed links and had to see that "firewater s-off" has been discontinued and is no longer available. As far as I know we have to chance to set your device s-off :(
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Oh does that mean I cannot revert it back and what is firewater?
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
[MENTION=6449734]MatthewAllan6[/MENTION]

Firewater was a website to set your phone S-OFF. It has been closed and the owner has now the same service with other name but for 25$ per use instead of free. But i found some alternative that should also work for you.

sense based ROM flashable via custom recovery

S-OFF with detailed guide

pm me if you need some assistence
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Thanks :), I will try this out now. So just wondering what where wrong with the RUUs that I was using then because they had my network three uk (h3g) and model in the file name.
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
The installed firmware is NEWER than trhe RUU. With S-ON you can only flash same RUU or newer but not an older version. Thats it.
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Oh ok :), so if I follow the guide that you said before and then use them RUU files, I could get it back to stock fully or would I just have to use the rom that you provided a link to earlier. I am just making sure :).
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Unlock bootloader.

Flash custom recovery.

Flash sense based rom. (Needed to get S-OFF)

Set your phone S-OFF

Run latest RUU
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
On the ViperOneS rom, it comes up with the following error on my phone when flashing via clockworkmod recovery:

I also tried to use TWRP recovery to install zenROMplus rom, it installed fully and I had to flash the boot.img on the phone to get it to boot properly :).
[HTC One S] LS.xD:
Yup, on S-ON phones you always have to flash the boot.img manually.
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Ok thanks for that information :), I have set the bootloader to s-off now and also got the stock rom installed :). So now I just need to update to the latest OTA update and then I am done. Thanks for your help with this, I really appreciate it :).
[HTC One S] MatthewAllan93:
Also is there is any way to make the bootloader appear locked instead of relocked, just wondering :).

Thanks man

was trying to use the online cwm builder but it kept failing. have you managed to get busybox to install?

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

First I couldnt get MTK tools to find the img file. (put it in the root of your sdcard everyone). Next, when i said updated recovery, it just took 1 second and said 'reboot into recovery'. when i rebooted, it was still stock recovery. Any help appreciated.

EDIT2: IT WORKS. Use the Flashify tool to flash the recovery img. Now we have CWM. Lets repartition our sdcards and use link2sd!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ThunderSky7:
Thanks for the feedback.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dixit.rahul94@gmail.com:
how to know cwm is successfully installed or not?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ThunderSky7:
1.Reboot in recovery with key combination.

or

1. In MobileUncleTool or In Flashify press reboot recovery to check that recovery is flashed or not.

You may be right but that wasn't the case for the note edge and the note 4. Both were separate software due to the icons on the edge. I know there was a separate forum for the note edge for developers. I would just assume that there would be a forum made for the S6 edge just in case the edge display have icons and not just a stretched display.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopri:
Oh, I am sure there will be a separate forum if the edges actually have on-screen utility like the Note Edge. I just do not think that will be the case. Especially when both sides have curves. Having taskbars on the edges of 5" phone wouldn't be Sixy. (sorry I couldn't resist)

[P3600 Accessories] Craic Dub:
I read about www.Shieldzone.com and their full body protection.

Of course, they dont offer anything for the P3600 out of the box but they are able to custom design a full body protection for $45 within 1-3 business days.

Does anyone know if it is worth paying $45 for this kind of protection? I really dont like silicone cases, since they are too big and collect dust. I have tried numerous leather cases but in the end I simply dont use them since the device inclusive case doesnt fit into my pockets.

Any comments on their products?
[P3600 Accessories] hanmin:
If I remember correctly, it isi quite difficult to apply it on. Have you applied a screen protector before? I think a full body shield is.. very much difficult than a screen protector. Anyway, you might want to look at this http://www.skinit.com/, $10 only :D
[P3600 Accessories] Craic Dub:
They would apply the protector on the device, which is included in the $45.

I totally agree, applying a screen protector is difficult enough and a very tedious and I wouldnt want to deal with a full body protector.

The thought of not having to deal with any paint problems and perhaps being able to sell the device scratch free in a years time is quite appealing.

Thanks for the link, I will check them out too!
[P3600 Accessories] d.cortez:
i've bastardized the 8525 shieldzone skin to use on my 3600. in my opinion, it greatly minimized the "fingerprints" and provides adequate protection for me. i don't really like the rubberized skins. they are not very difficult to apply and can be peeled off when necessary. i wish shieldzone would make a skin for the 3600...
[P3600 Accessories] KamaL:
Can you plz post pics of the final results on your P3600?? I'm also interested in this skin. I think it's a great idea..

Thanks
[P3600 Accessories] shoey5:
I've used them for other devices, they are 100% worth it. They are a bit of a pain to get one but they do work as advertised. They are clear so they show off the device and protect the unit from scratches without adding the bulk of other type of skins since they are very very thin.
[P3600 Accessories] turcomora:
Do you know how long the turn around time is since they install it. If all is true then $45 bucks is cheap for the protection that it offers. I am very interested.
[P3600 Accessories] Craic Dub:
They told me that an approx. turn around time would be 1-3 business days. You have to add shipping times for both ways to it, which depends on location and shipping service you choose. So, I guess a far assumption would be to have the unit back within 10-12 business days if you ship via UPS ground.

Also, the $45 price quote does not include shipping charges. So, it is quite expensive to simply protect the device against scratches.

Perhaps anyone can post some pictures of the protection applied?
[P3600 Accessories] turcomora:
So what if I need to change my sim or take my battery off?
[P3600 Accessories] KamaL:
Good point :eek:
[P3600 Accessories] Craic Dub:
I would think that they are installing the shield on each part individually, hence you have up to 7 different pieces to apply to the unit. Subsequently there shouldnt be a problem to reach the SIM or battery, etc.
[P3600 Accessories] shoey5:
Maybe there's someone who lives in the area can take their unit in or get a dealer to drop one off for a fitting. Once they make a custom one, they sell to others. With that said, I think it's pretty bad business on their part, you'd think they'd be willing to do the first one for any device free knowing they will be able to sell others based off their template.
[P3600 Accessories] daeveman:
Good idea!
[P3600 Accessories] mtudor:
Hi guys,

Sorry for dredging up an old thread but I just wanted to add my piece as someone who has had one of these shields before (on an HTC Prophet).

They are very very good, and you really can scratch away at the device with keys / brick wall etc and it doesn't scratch (obviously not something you would want to do on purpose)! The application is tricky but very doable, and should your protector ever become creased or damaged you can have it replaced for free, for life.

The turnaround time is quick, no more than 5 business days, but I'm in the UK so when I sent mine off for a custom shield I got hammered on the return for customs duty etc - a nasty shock. That's the only reason I wouldn't get a custom shield made up for my P3600. Let me know if you do though as I will be hot on your heels ordering one!

On my Prophet, you could see the edges of the protector in places, as they have to make the shield up in sections so it can be curved around the top of your phone etc - can't see any way they could apply it in a single sheet. This was not a big issue on the Prophet, and looks a million times better than covering up your device with a silicon case or whatever.

I'm guessing that the edges of the protector will be less visible on the P3600 as it is already shiny, where the Prophet was matte. The shield will not cover the buttons and camera on your phone. In 18months my Prophet did not pick up one scratch, despite being dropped on concrete and in a pocket with keys, which is a good selling point in my mind!

As for the cost, $45 is more than a case / screen protector, but these things protect the device for it's entire life, and even if you don't like parts of the protector, you can always take those parts off (with the risk of them not being protected) and leave on the parts that you do like. Some protection is definitely better than none anyway! You'll probably find that you leave the whole thing on though!

As I said, drop me a line if you get a custom one made up as that will mean that poor UK based P3600 owners like myself should be able to follow up and order one without sending our devices in!

Good luck!

Mark.

[P3600 Accessories] MrTW:
Looks like that they finally sell a body shield for the P3600:

http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCP3600.html

Now, the question is whether this is only a screen protector or a full body protector? Its not very clear according to the description.
[P3600 Accessories] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
That's just a screen protector. It says at the top of the picture. ;)

I've gotten these put on for a Wizard and Hermes and would not go without them. I, like most, don't like bulky covers on an already large phone.

As mentioned, they come in several different parts and don't block access to anything that needs opening or the like.

I'm also just a stones throw away from their corporate office. I've had them apply the skins for me (just $10 extra) and they've told me that they'll make a custom skin for any device that's brought to them for an extra charge of only $10 or $15 more. But, once they create the template, they hang onto it so they won't charge the next guy for the custom job.

All in all, I think they're probably the best choice to protect your device.

Just a little first-hand input for ya.:)
[P3600 Accessories] nealed:
come on - someone in the US can order one if it means that I can order one to be delivered to Europe. I'll pay $10 of the $15 say extra dollars once I can have one shipped:)

(The full body protector).
[P3600 Accessories] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Sorry, I don't quite follow your meaning. Can you clarify?
[P3600 Accessories] shoey5:
Says right on the page that it's a screen protector ("Screen Shield") not a full body protector.
[P3600 Accessories] nealed:
What I meant was - after your comments "I'm also just a stones throw away from their corporate office. I've had them apply the skins for me (just $10 extra) and they've told me that they'll make a custom skin for any device that's brought to them for an extra charge of only $10 or $15 more. But, once they create the template, they hang onto it so they won't charge the next guy for the custom job."

Because I am in europe it would cost me a hell of a lot of money to send my phone to the US to have a custom skin made. If someone else did it - you say that they will charge $10 or $15 more to make a custom skin for the Trinity. Once they have the template - I could order one without being charged the extra money of having to send my phone to them. - once it's shipped I would happily donate to the person that sent their phone and had the custom skin made to make it worth their while, too.
[P3600 Accessories] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Ahh... gotcha. Yeah, I'm willing to help out however I can. If someone has a Trinity, or even a "dummy phone", that they want to send over, I'd take care of it from this end.

That's of course if anyone would even want to do that. :)
[P3600 Accessories] nealed:
Great - and thanks for you help.

I have had a reply from "the horse's mouth" as follows: Hello,

Thank you for contacting ZAGG, home of the invisibleSHIELD! My name is Nathan, and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

I have takin down all of your contact information. My desginer is going to try and get his hands on the htc phone and build a full body shield for it. Once we have done this we will contact you and let you know when we have it ready.

Thank you for choosing the invisibleSHIELD. We appreciate your business!

All the best,

NATHAN

So there is hope. I sent them details of this thread and said that there were lots of Trinity users wanting protection to stop their paint form peelin! So let's get orderin as soon as Nathan gets a full shield built. :D
[P3600 Accessories] dwphoto:
I have the full sheild

I used to use a aluminium case but its so bulky and cumbersome. The shield works just as advertised and even makes the unit stick in my hand a touch more.

The only complaint i would mention is that near the edges of the sheild some gunk can build up but its a minor issue. I have also used the shield on my dslr and image viewer.

Highly recommended.
[P3600 Accessories] Johnno:
Hi DWPHOTO,

so you have the shield for the P3600 now?

We can start ordering?

Thanks

Well this seems promising but I think a more important question would be when will Huawei start supporting unlocking the bootloader without the hassles of sending emails for the US version?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] p51d007:
Thank you, and I wish you well with the beta program, but count me out. THANKS to those that will take the beta challenge, but I will wait for the final release.

Even after release, I'll wait a week or two, to see how it goes. If it appears stable, then I might have a go.

Why the hesitation? Because Huawei did such a great job of tweaking 4.3 to the specs of the mate2, that I have experienced ZERO issues! I can run for weeks without any lock ups, and only reboot it because I feel guilty that I haven't had to do anything to it. I see so many of my friends having this trouble or that trouble with their flagships, with the "latest & greatest" specs, that I just have to snicker that I spent 1/2 of what they did, and I get as much or more bang for the buck than they did.

4.3, on this device is so stable it begs the question for me and my use pattern. If it ain't broke, why fix it? Yes, at some point, there will be an app that I want to use, that will require LL, but, the 83 apps that I have on my device now, run perfectly. I even went so far, to install a few of the same apps on my device, as a coworker did on his Nexus 6, setting the screen brightness to the same levels, then, running the apps side by side. MAYBE there was a split second of difference in opening or running the apps, but, both were smooth, clear and easy to read. Yes, if you ran a benchmark, the N6 would blow the Mate2 out of the water, but, I'm talking about "real world" applications. Is that split second difference worth paying more than 2 times the price? Not for me.

Huawai, you hit one out of the park, and the LL update will be welcome, but, for now, I'm sticking with JB4.3, until the LL update proves to be as stable as JB4.3
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] chriss29:
You've been posting the same exact crap in all possible threads regarding the lollipop update for the HAM2. While everyone else has been pressuring Huawei to release this update, as is deserved and expected from such a major company,you just go on and on about how happy you are with the current build, and don't care about any future support. truly unbelievable , we are all excited discussing a future update here, you should really go and post in the Happy owners HAM2 Jellybean thread !!

I called him out for being a shill in another thread. It drives me bananas because this phone is buggy as hell and he's always talking about how stable it is.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] chriss29:
Correct, there are quite a few bugs I'm experiencing. Wi-fi not connecting except after 3-4 tries, a few random app crashes and a few but annoying random reboots. Even if it wasn't for these problems, who wouldn't want the latest and greatest Android version on their phones? It's common sense !
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] rdbud:
I put this list of bugs in an earlier thread (I apologize for repeating):

- Audio cutting out is a pretty common one. This occurred when I first got the phone, then again after a factory reset. Eventually it just stopped happening both times.

- Google Calendar reminder pops up, calendar crashes over and over again until I dismiss the reminder.

- Reboots randomly about once a week.

- Switching from portrait to landscape is slow and inconsistent at best.

- That looping reboot that occurred during a random Amazon update a few months back (that did not affect any other phone). I had to do a factory reset because of that which is a major pain.

- The bugs with Emo (strange text wrapping, delay when closing an app that's in a folder, improperly sized widgets), which is such a hot mess of an Android skin, makes it practically mandatory that you put a new launcher on it.

-Pulling down the notification bar has become an adventure. Sometimes it's fine, other times it comes down and stops halfway and I have to hit the home button an try again.

- Unless it's super bright out, really long shutter lag after the update.

I know the thread was started by a Huawei rep, so hopefully they're working on fixing these bugs along with the update.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arampapaz:
Just curious, has anyone having bug issues installed TWRP recovery? I have my HAM2 for 3 months, I am rooted but stock recovery, and I haven't had a single issue with this phone. No lagging, no reboots, no wifi or bluetooth issues. I am wondering if there is something else causing the bugs. Or maybe there are a few bad devices. That being said, I always welcome updates, but I also understand peoples concerns with a new update.
