OK i'm going to flash with the Rogers ROM but I am unsure how to flash back to the factory Voda UK image if I dont like it.
I have rooted the device and have 2 backups on SD card of the current system. However when I download the Rogers ROM it is a zip file install but the backup is a bunch of image files. How would I install the default system back onto the device using these image files?
I just need to know how to get back before moving away
Thanks in advance

You update the rom with the ZIP-file named as update.zip.
If you want to revert back to your backup, power off the device, boot with BACK+POWER or VOLUME DOWN+POWER and type the following:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Thanks, i'm guessing this is on my PC that I did the rooting on through cmd, is that correct?
Will those .img files need to be on the root of the SD card as well?
Cheers

Hello Mark
No. They are only on your SD-card in the folder Nandroid/HTxxxxxx/date and you need to copy/put them in the SDK/TOOLS on your PC.
OK thanks for the info, just flashing the Rogers ROM now, fingers crossed

How do you like the French rom? Compared to Rogers? It dosen´t have Exchange?

Haven't looked at Rogers. French ROM is rooted, has inbuilt utilities such as wifi-tether, anetshare, PDF Viewer, Quickoffice, Meteo, Useful Switchers. All very easy and no problems.
Confused

Ok are you saying that I need to reflash the origional image files using the info above and then run in this update to put the vodafone magic back to its origional state.
The update on the link re-roots the device is that correct?

Missed your other point - it does not have Exchange. I on the other hand do not need it. Google sync works great for me.

Am sorry but don't fully understand the ins and outs of Rooting and then Unrooting again. All I was offering was info on the original files that were presumably removed when you Rooted your phone.
There is also the original SPL now available - posted here
Is this right
OK
As i wont be the last to ask how to get back to a factory device, I have put all of your comments an suggestions into one file which is attached.
Hopefully this will become a guide for all future users to follow if they want to go back to the factory image on a UK Vodafone Magic.
Could you kindly read through the instructions and leave feedback for me.
Cheers

I have had a quick look through your guide although not tried it out. It is good. Only a minor observation that the spelling of "origional" should be "original" all the way through the file.
Thaks for the pointer on the typo, copy and paste job, you got me on that one
Hi,
I followed your instructions and now my phone is stuck on the vodafone screen.
I get these errors in the process:
me$ ./fastboot erase system -w
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
erasing 'system'... OKAY
erasing 'userdata'... OKAY
have i bricked my phone?
any advice?!
It will boot to recovery and the fastboot screens.
Does that mean its fixable?

The official rom should not include userdata, right?
--- Updated and simplified
Updates from HTC are randomly released for countries and regions. These Update may lock your phone. As of today, phones can be unlocked again by using the GOLDCARD approach. However, there is a much simpler way to prevent bad things from happening:
If you like flashing HTC roms and have no intention to lock your phone, follow these steps:
On the PC
1. Double Click the .exe from the update. Wait for the first window to appear (DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE). Don't close the application but do not continue
2. Open explorer and navigate to the hidden directory:
Windows 7: \users\$username$\AppData\Local\Temp\... followed by something like ...\{2A3DF7FC-1693-4C53-8883-6CF09DED700D}\...
Vista: documents and settings\.....
3. You should find the install application files along with a file "Rom.zip" (40 to 90 Megs)
4. Extract the ROM.zip to your SDK Tools directory, where fastboot.exe resides
5. open command shell and navigate to your Tools directory (supposing SDK, adb and fastboot are installed)
On the Phone
6. Enter recovery console on phone (press "home" + then "on")
7. Do a nandroid backup
8. Select Wipe your phone
9. Hold "back" and select "reboot system" in recovery to enter Fastboot mode
On the PC
10. Type: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" .... wait to complete
11. Type: "fastboot flash system system.img" .... wait to complete
12. Type: "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" .... wait to complete
13. [Optional] Type: "fastboot flash radio radio.img" .... wait to complete (note: some HTC radios locked windows mobile phones. I am not sure whether this applies for Android)
14. Reboot your phone
15. Keep the update if you like it, revert to backup via recovery and nandroid in case you don't
And sorry for any confusion caused...

fde
Thanks a lot mate... I will try the official sense for my magic then using this method first =D...
Are you sure....
That this will work? I have made the RUU Flash: RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Europe_2.20.401.2_HTC_Nordic_release_signed_NoDriver
And that resulted in:
HBOOT-1-33-0014
CPLD-12
RADIO-3-22-23-18
I don't understand what you are meaning about the Radio.img file.
And what about the HBOOT file?
Yes it works. Just verfied it aigain. What the RUU package does is:
1. Extract the application to a temp file
2. Use ADB to flash the ROM to your phone
By the approach described in the first post, the application unpacks itself into a temp directory. This allows you to access the ROM-File which is stored as ROM.zip or something similar. By moving only the vital Boot, System and Userdata, you avoid flashing your Recovery console or Bootloader (Hboot).
It implies of course, that you DO NOT continue with the RUU application as soon as the first window becomes visible. (I will adjust the above Tutorial and make it simpler).
Problem
But the problem is that I allready have flashed my phone, is this the way to revert is så I can root it again and put custom roms on it again?

I also want to know how I can flash new ROM since people said that my spl is perfected after upgrading
I was learned that we need to use goldcard method to root again.
In our case, any idea which ROM to use as we gotta use higher ROM?
Or are we able to gain root access without touching the existing ROM?
Now even cannot boot to recovery mode.
So stupid to upgrade it although the ROM is stable and fast but no root access sucks.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,

Well I guess my post was too late then.
However, the GOLDCARD approach, is said to allow succesful flashing of the engineering SPL or 1.33.0009. Do that and your back in business.

Sir, would you please let me know how to flashing engineering SPL, right now i have HBoot-1.76.007 which shipped with the Singapore HTC sense rom.
BTW: i don't care i will lose the rom or not.
Many thanks!
I flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.16.707.3_SG_release_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, but got "check main rom verion" error msg.
then flashed using RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_signed_NoDriver.exe with golden card, same error msg again.

I did this twice on a Swiss Update, which btw wasn't worth applying. Just by the Size it's rom1.zip.
Let me download the Singapore and see what I can do.... But then looking at the guys post it seems the second file in the post is what you need. Download this package and only flash boot, system and data in fastboot mode. (From Step 4. onward in the guide). Anyway I will have a look.

Please follow the GOLDCARD method. I am not a recovery expert. I try to be cautious and was lucky until now (so I never tried it myself, but it is reported to work). Sorry for that. If :No-Frost: knows of a better guide with regard to GOLDCARD, please post!

For now the only method I know is the goldcard one... But in my country, using the goldcard method, makes the magics lose the 3g, edge or any internet mobile connection... =(...
Be careful, by using this method you can not upgrade to Snese UI (example TW). The reason being system image in Sense UI is larger than the previous 1.5 ROM system image, so system partition needs to be re-sized, which the RUU update does it for you. Otherwise you are struck with failed system image flashing.

You need the PRI file first!!! And if you have it share it cause everyone is wanting it. Once more people get this on their phone it should be a little while then someone should be able to drop that file so we can all update to the PRI.
Do we have to rename the zip file to "update" before we flash?

Was just reading the install instructions and says you can use unrevoked3 to install custom recovery (per their website says v3 works on all supported phones even if not previously rooted), then you should be able to finish the install of unrevoked forever and presumably flash any new rom.... hmmmmmmmmm.. sounds a little too good to be true.. .but who knows??? lol
I will definitely be playing with this on my friends evo just to see what we can do!
Hi,
Normally, I try to troubleshoot things myself without bothering others, but I'm in need of help this time. The tricky part is, I just bought this HTC One S from a stranger, so I don't have its complete history. With that said, here's what I need help with. The phone came with Pacman installed (v18.0.0). But, I would like to install this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451
It's basically a stock ICS ROM (the lite version mentioned with stuff removed). In attempt to do this myself, I found this post on here:
Yes the only other solution for you involves rooting. It is possible to go back to ICS by rooting your phone, going through a bootloader downgrade, hexediting a particular partition, then running an older compatible RUU... Its all possible, but requires some time to understand and do. And definately requires a few wipes of phone data in the mean time (which can be backed up through titanium and custom recoveries).
Only need to do that if you want to downgrade hboot. All you have to do is root and flash a rom, I have JB radio and hboot and run ICS Trickdroid 8.1.0.
So, I put the ICS ROM in the internal sdcard, did the usual wiping stuff (I've owned several HTC phones, so this part I know how), then installed the ROM. Unfortunately, it didn't work. When I rebooted the phone, it got stuck in boot loop. It would go to HTC logo screen with the development purpose only warning and just keep turning off and on. Fortunately, I was able to get back into recovery and restored it to Pacman. So, apparently, you can't just flash any ICS ROM over JB setup... Can someone help me figure out what I need to do to install that modified stock ROM please? I very much appreciate your help. My One S is S4 from T-Mobile.
Thank you,
GT
Did you flash boot.img?

thats weird.. if you wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system.. it should be fine.
which recovery do you have? cwm or twrp? flashing the rom after wiping everything i stated before, and then flashing boot.img depending on your hboot [btw, go to bootloader and see what it says for hboot. if it is higher than 1.13, you need to fastboot boot.img.

2. are you trying to install a TMOUS ROM?
3. since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img [let me know if you know how to do that]
4. also since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to flash some partitions or else your WiFi won't work.
Let me know if you need help doing any of the above, but start out with installing TWRP first.

Thank you for such a prompt reply. Here are some of my answers.
2. Yes, the ROM I want to install is this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082451
It's the light version mentioned in that first post.
3. I just read up on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I think I got the idea, but just to double check, is this what I need to do after every time I install a custom ROM?
4. The partition files exist on the phone already, and I read some, so I have a basic understanding of it. But, the developer of the ROM I want to install says it is not necessary with that ROM, so hopefully that's true.
I am amazed by how different everything is from a HTC phone to another HTC phone even when they seem so similar!
A quick question. Does EXT4 exist for HTC One S? I used to use that for HTC Sensation and loved it. I'm guessing no, but I thought I'd ask.
So, to sum it up, is this what I need to do?
1. Flash TWRP recovery (please tell me how to find the right version for S4. all in one toolkit doesn't work on my phone).
2. Wipe everything and install the ROM
3. Flash boot.img
4. If wifi is not working, try the partition files
Please let me know if I got this right. Thank you,

If the Toolkit can't see your phone then you might need to install the drivers that come with it for it to work.

3. Yes, since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img everytime you flash a ROM, unless you want to downgrade?
3.5: like Darknites said, you will need to install drivers for your the One S if you haven't already. You can download HTC Sync, and they'll install automatically [this is needed for being able to fastboot the boot.img]
4. They do exist, but everytime you wipe before flashing a ROM, they also get deleted, but try using the ROM without flashing the partition files and see if it works, if not then flash the partition files.
5. Yes, I'm pretty sure EXT4 exists with the One S, but am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm this?
Lastly, here is where you download TWRP:

scroll down and download the link for the S4 VARIANT, but you need to have drivers installed before doing this. and you will need to fastboot the recovery, since the download is an image: to do so, go into cmd, type cd c:\ (whatever your fastboot folder is called) and enter
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash.
BTW, here are the drivers:

3. Yes, since your hboot is higher than 1.13, you will need to fastboot boot.img everytime you flash a ROM, unless you want to downgrade?
3.5: like Darknites said, you will need to install drivers for your the One S if you haven't already. You can download HTC Sync, and they'll install automatically [this is needed for being able to fastboot the boot.img]
4. They do exist, but everytime you wipe before flashing a ROM, they also get deleted, but try using the ROM without flashing the partition files and see if it works, if not then flash the partition files.
5. Yes, I'm pretty sure EXT4 exists with the One S, but am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm this?

Thank you so much. Yes, I tried installing the drivers using the toolkit's function, but I haven't tried HTC Sync option. Maybe that'll work better. I think I know what I need to do now. Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, dr_rick13 and other kind members who responded to my call for help.
I was able to troubleshoot this, and now my phone's working the way I wanted it. Just one correction on dr_rick13's instruction:
then, type: fastboot flash [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img. Should take about 2 seconds to flash
recovery is missing in that line, so it should be fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery, which is the name of the file you downloaded).img
I know it was just a typo or forgot to write it, but I wanted to point this out in case some other user finds this thread and follows that instruction.
All in all, thanks for everything! You guys rock!

I'm new here too. I understand that you need to flash the boot.img with that hboot, but why? And will it ever be fixed?
I've owned and rooted many a phones and never had to do that. Just curious why it's like that, and if it will be fixed. It's just easier to not be that way. Again, I'm new here, just trying to understand

we do not have S-OFF yet, so until we do.. people with hboots 1.13+ will need to flash boot.img. But HTC still hasn't said anything about when we will get S-OFF or if we will get it.

Its just the way HTC wants us to do it and maybe they feel it be better for us but mostly them. There is a way round it but you have to downgrade the Hboot.

Thanks. Is there any downside to downgrading the hboot? Why don't people do that instead?
When I had the Amaze, the recovery 4ext had "smart flash" which did this same thing because it was s-on

Because of Linux and the fact you brick it to do it too. We meant to be getting 4ext but don't know when.

This seems like out would make things so much easier. I'm not always around a pc when wanting to flash things. If I use this, I should be able to flash away.
But what about resorting nandroids. This doesn't work with that. Hmmm
Just trying to wrap my mind around it

Yep very good app I did use it in till I downgraded.
10i for T-Mobile V20 H918 is out.
It's still anti-rollback v00. :good:
Android Security Patch: 2016-12-01 (dirtycow/recowvery patched)
Download Link
UPPERCUT should work if using LGUP/KDZ.
If you flash this KDZ there is no current root method for 10i... so no TWRP etc (at this very moment anyway).
Everyone who can only boot to download mode.. this should save you.
those w/TWRP already can use the images (or wait for someone to make a flashable "rom" zip.
H91810-system.img.zip is just the system.img compressed, not a flashable zip.
if flashing the stock system.img/boot.img be careful not to lose TWRP..
delete the "recovery-from-boot.p" in system while still in TWRP if you want to be extra safe.
I don't have a V20 and won't be supporting this thread. Just providing files.
Thanks for this. Wonder what the changes from v10d are (other the exploit patch)
If and when someone creates a flashable zip, can we flash SuperSU after we flash the ROM to still have root?
Great.. My replacement is coming today which means it'll probably self update on first boot before I can do anything about it..
I love you daddi
Is this also OTA? I see nothing

yes, that's how it works. tho.. idk if it's user-error or what... sometimes people flash supersu and it doesn't patch the boot.img and when they boot into android they lose twrp. hasn't happened to me but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . so that's why I also suggested removing the recovery-from-boot.p as an option.
people could also just dd the images manually if they don't want to wait for a zip... but I guess those comfortable with dd already know that.

altho now that i think about it.. they may force you on the setup screen. but theres no way it'll download/install in the time it takes to get through setup. so just disable internet as soon as you're setup. :good:

What I usually do is make a twrp back up from my old phone and restore it on the new phone after making a fake backup and moving the old one in the new folder the fake backup created. Theoretically this should restore my google account without ever having to initially setup my account when I turn on the new phone. Right? Or do you think it'll cause authentication issues?

Is he coming to the v20. Plz say yes.
System.img.zip, do I just rename it to system.img? Cause I extracted from zip file and system.img did not flash. But when I renamed it, it flashed but wouldn't boot.

If you really want this, just use the LG Bridge and update it through that. It's much easier than flashing manually and accomplishes the same thing.

Oh sweet! But for the file itself do I need to extracted or rename the file? I flashed the system.img and boot in twrp but it hung in LG logo. And I'm also trying to retain root.

You don't need the file at all. Just download the LG Bridge from the LG website, install the LG Universal mobile drivers, plug in your phone and use the software update option. It does it all by itself, and will restart your phone on it's own.

Do i need to be back factory stock including recovery to use this option? And I'm guessing this way would make me lose root? Thank you for your responses.

You only need to plug in your phone and let it work. Since this is a stock image, you will lose root. Also, the as described in the original post on page 1, the December security patch also patches the dirty cow exploit used to achieve root, so once you flash this, you'll be stock unrooted until a new method comes along.
