[?]Htc desire s android

Please can you tell me if my HTC Desire S, which is rooted with a Three UK ROM added, will get the OTA Update of Android. It currently has Android 2.3.1 HTC Sense 2.1. My other HTC Desire S is not rooted but has updated to 2.3.5. The rooted phone also still has the old Market and not Google Play.

How many times?
Wrong place, wrong place, wrong place, wrong place...
Reported to mods for moving to "Desire S Q&A" where it should have been in the first instance.

Come on dude
You've done this several times now, and we've already said we had to report it for being in the wrong forum. Can't you take the hint?
Good job Simon!

It won't get the OTA because it is rooted and if you were given the chance to update it it would mess up your phone and it would not update properly. Which OTA are you on about? The ICS one that could be months away or the sense 3 one?

There must have some people can help you to solve this problem.

Is Alice trolling here? I can't honestly tell for certain.
The OP asked his question, there were then three posts relating to him putting it in the wrong place (again) and Sharpinator then answered him and asked a question back, so I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of your post was.

My query was about an Android, that's why I put my message in the Android Form.
Messages like, "Wrong place, wrong place, wrong place, wrong place," are not appropriate. People like me who are far from experts are only looking for some help from the experts.

You didn't put your query in the "Android Forum", you put it in the Developer Forum. If you are such a newbie here (which I find surprising given the fact that you have been on this site since 2004) then you could at least have the decency to read the forum rules first. As Sgt Slaughter stated;-

It isn't really difficult to look at a list of forums and work out that a question such as yours should be in the "Q&A" forum.
You were told previously on a different thread not to post in the Dev forum so you can't claim ignorance as an excuse, and you actually got your question answered as well, so I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.
P.S.
My query was about an Android

Any particular Android? Maybe the one in the 1982 film of the same name, with the memorable tag-line "He learns to love, he learns to kill ... Android becomes man"

help with root (htc sensation)

I'm on stock ics I have unlocked my bootloader. I tried rooting it through all in one kit but my phone reboot and stay on the HTC logo screen intill I take the battery out and restart it but its not rooted still. I follow the guides accordingly but can't require root. After unlocking bootloader do I need to s off first then root please help I can even pay

wrong section, you n00b.
flash a rooted custom rom via recovery, and you have the root access. you don't need to root until you want to keep your stock rom
read more, follow guides and watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
delete this thread.

thread shouldn't be here and there's tons of noob friendly guides to show you.
but to answer your question yes S-Off first

It is the wrong section because unlocking the phone or rooting it belongs in Q&A as you are asking a Question and need an Answer to get your problem solved.
It isn't a collaboration of people finding a way to make a s-on phone permanently s-off or unlocking a bootloader or giving it engineering capabilities for all of XDA. Therefore nothing is being developed.

as kohr-ah said it is in wrong section
and coming to the topic
as you are htc-dev unlocked
try my one click root tool..from my soff guide (link in my signature)

if you've unlocked your bootloader it should say (unlocked) at the top of the bootloader screen. you dont really need to s-off your phone just yet, if your phone has updated to ics it will already have the latest firmware already installed, so if i was you id install adb/fastboot then just use fastboot to flash your recovery instead of jumping to s-off you dont want to be messing that up

I think your in the wrong place if you have questions there's q&a part that you need to go

This is from the very first thread stating the rules for this forum
[MANDATORY] RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT Updated 21.03
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS FORUM IS ONLY FOR RELEASING AND DEVELOPING ROMS AND KERNELS.
SOME GUIDES REGARDING S-OFF AND FLASHING WILL BE ALLOWED BUT MOST WILL BE LINKED IN A REFERENCE THREAD
•Try to keep the development forum CLEAN! No offtopic posting and no questions.
•Use the report button in an offending post to let us mods know we need to take action. Dont take matters into your own hands!!!
•Sources need to be posted for all kernels!!!
•You need to use TAGS like [ROM] or [KERNEL] and so on as used in all dev forums throughout XDA
•Any disputes between developers should be handled by pm. No public posting in a dev thread regarding these matters
•Rom issues should be discussed within their respective threads
•Thread titles should ALWAYS coincide with ROMS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!!! No advance notification of incoming ROM through thread title. A changelog for the yet unreleased Rom can be included in the OP or in another post CLEARLY MARKED as EXPECTED CHANGELOG
•Posting in the development section means automatic ACCEPTANCE of the above Rules
All posts that are NOT about ROM development, or development in general will be closed or deleted and posters that will choose to disregard the previous guidelines will be infracted.
As you can see only roms and kernels should be allowed in this thead. If you have a question it needs to go into the Q&A section or if it is about a particular rom that has been posted here it needs to go in that rom thread.

ok ok sorry
Ok I'm sorry if this post hurt your feelings because I posted in the wrong forum, I'm truly sorry ill take it down soon as I get home

Drivers for Amaze camera-Big test

Dear developers for the Sensation, I have a special request.
Could one of you please provide a flashable zip that contains the camera drivers for the HTC Amaze 4g? However, I've read that drivers are also in the kernel image of the particular device. If so, could one of you please modify a Sensation ICS kernel (if you are allowed to) to include the camera drivers for the Amaze 4g?
If you would be able to help with this request, I'd be able to try something, if it works I'll be able to provide a great gift for all the HTC Sensation owners here on XDA

This needs to be in Q&A not in the ROM thread.

It's a request, not a question This is something that will most likely need help from a developer, most of which are here in the developer's and Roms section. That is why. I hope I didn't offend you

True but the rules state that all requests / questions go in the Q&A.
Developers do look in the thead as well and help out if they can. This thread is purely for Roms and Kenrels for users to downlaod.
If you have any questions look at the top stickied thread in this forum and it will explain the rules.

No problem. If you are not sure where to post, you can ask in the general or Q&A sections. That way if you find your thread should then be in the developemt thread you can ask a moderator to move it.

I guess that is true, but sometimes it depends on the situation If this is something that I and other members of XDA can benefit from, I wouldn't mind posting directly into this section, considering it is a direct route to the developer(s) rather than an indirect route.

I've actually managed to think of a solution! Could anyone with any experience in linux kernels (eg compiling them from source etc) contact me? I'm on to something I believe

JTAG points

Does anyone have the jtag points on the HOXL ?

Really! You've been a member since 2009 and you don't know that you shouldn't post Q&A in the development section.

Yesh because Jtaging is development and not a Question, if I was asking what jtaging was or how to to learn to do it then Q&A would be the right place to put it, but ive ben tagging since the HTC magic and think that this is more about development e.g. unbricking devices , turning S-ON S-OFF etc , i see that if you have a tagger and are using it on a phone then its Development and not a basic Question and answer or else most of whats in development should be in Q&A would you not agree ?

What did you develop and/or are releasing in this thread?
It looks like a question to me.
If you were telling people where the jtag pins were, that is development.
If you were telling people what can be done over jtag, that is development.
Asking a question is a question.
PS. Dont be off-put, we will all love you if you put some time towards something like s-off

It is still a question and does not belong in development.
This post by 18th.abn contains a video of a teardown of the hoxl not sure if he actually points out the pads or not but that thread would most likely have the most relevant information about what you are looking for. Hope it helps.

[Q] s-off, rom htc desire s

who can show me s-off ?????
i find the best rom for htc desire s, please .......

You'll find guides to unlock your bootloader and s-off in the stickies of the development forum with a list of all the roms and anything else you need. We don't do 'best roms' we do 'best roms for you' in other words. Flash a few roms to figure out the best one for your usage. If you really run into problems then you'll find lots of help in the 'help thread' i would suggest using search first though (it's actually quite good when it works) otherwise use Google and just add xda to the end of the search.
"The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting."
- Gloria Leonard

Seems like new users don't take the time to read the stickies. Those particular thread are important as they hold some troubleshoots that previous users have experienced and solved.
Cheers and good luck to Op but u don't need luck as the methods work, many users have s-off their phones using the same thread.
FromBeyondThisWorld

As mentioned above, we don't allow 'best ROM threads' as they usually turn into a pointless argument.
Also, while we don't mind helping you we want you to help yourself so you should test out the ROMs for yourself so that you can discover what YOU like the most.
As also mentioned, you can find guides for S-OFF via the stickies.
Please search for your answers in future as that's part of the forum rules.
