t rsd lite connected even though not showing boot loader but caught up with software update..only one it would install was 2.1 version .problem i think ive got now i cant install 2nd init to go through zip install as superuser wont grant permission...i think i have downgraded too far but hoping this is not the problem..i have 2nd int and super user on sd card and pc is recognizing it...had a cm9 nightly but quarx came up with a new one after so tried to install that but think i missed a step out and then installed wrong mod.
im guessing that if i can get into the vol down power on menu...i can wipe and install roms as i only have the screen with android and ! on so not giving me install options
can i get back on track to cm9 ..or is there a process of eclair to froyo to gb to ics....
help appreciated mrs hasnt spoke to me for 2 days while im trying to sort it but hey every cloud....

I bought the Gtablet yesterday and immediatley took it home to Install a Custom Rom.. I installed clockwork recovery, and then installed the cyanogen 6.1 beta 4..everything installed correctly and it rebooted, however it did not have the marketplace or flash support, and would not autorotate with the device smoothly, so I thought I might try a different ROM but when trying to access my device VIA usb it closes quickly and will not allow access .. also I am having issues with the SD card, I can mount USB in Clockwork and copied over Vegan 5.1...it said it installed succesfully but when it launches it still says cyanogen, but says vegan in the "about phone" section this did give me a few more icons including marketplace..but it launches and then has a white screen.then closes automatically...I am afraid I have really messed something up here...any help would be greatly appreciated ...I would like to move forward with a Custom ROM and right now I dont care which one as long as it works...
issues
1. no USB connectivity
2. Marketplace and Flash issues
3. mixed ROMS?!??!?

You may have to start from scratch.
Via recovery, wipe data andcache, then flash a more stable rom like vega.
Then flash gapps and adobe flash.
.
I also just realized I posted this in Devel and not general..if a mod can move it I would appreciate it...my apologies
thanks for the quick reply...I was reading and found out i installed the vegan supplement instead of the full download...i know have vegan 5.1 ...and its starting to function a TON better...the USB is working..im going to apply the update..I think it has market and flash...I will try that..sorry for cluttering...really happy with the way this tablet is turning out...extremley happy im not bricked!!!
Hello. I have been waiting a while for a CynogenMod for the i5800 and yesturday I attempted to use it on my phone.
After rooting via z4root apk, I downloaded the free version of ROM Manager and when it asked select your model of phone the i5800 isn't on there so I picked the ZTE Blade as it is another low end phone. ROM Manager then proceeded to make a 'backup'.
Then went onto trying to install from .zip using the current build for the i5800 from here and selected it from the recovery menu only to see after a long boot up that it had booted into the stock ROM albeit still rooted. Now everytime I turn my phone off it acts like its been wiped and has 0mb of memory (should have about 150 or similar) so I can't get a root explorer.
Hopefully this is a simple solution as its still on android2.1-update1 aka what the phone shipped with and I believe Samsung is in the process of sending out a 2.2 update so could someone please say how I can make sure the phone has no evidence of flashing and how to stop the constant wiping of the phones memory so that I can sell the phone without any risks.
Many thanks, JTS.
Hey fellows.
So I wanted to try a custom ROM for my SNS, so I rooted it with this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwe4sWH67dk
And since I'm completly green in all this root thing, I didnt manage to get a custom ROM on my device. So I just stayed with stock android and a launcher, and to be fair, I dont need any more than that.
Then the 2.3.6 OTA update came and I wanted to install that, so I hit "Install" and my phone rebooted. Come to the Google logo with the padlock on the button... and frooze (have to remove battery to restart my phone). Nothing I have done can help it, I tryed factory reset, nothing (get stuck on the same screen again)!
So I looked around the SNS topics in here, and frankly, I can't fix it! I read that locking the bootloader would probably help it. So I installed drivers for my device on my computer, and tryed to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875630 since it seemed fairly easy. But I cant make it work.
My phone version number is GRJ22 and my phone lock state is unlocked.
WHAT DO I DO? Remember, I'm completly green, so cut it into small pieces would be nice!
Hope that there is some helpfull sole out there that can help

I had a similar issue some time ago and I think I can help you. In my case, I had removed some system apps. I removed books and talk, and it couldn't update because the recovery didn't find these apps to update them. Also, if you don't have the stock recovery, but clockwork instead I think it will not work. You can find in the General section of this Nexus S forum links with the official updates zips. Download one of these and then flash it in recovery(stock or clockwork). Copy the zip to the USB storage and in recovery select 'flash update from usb storage' and select the downloaded zip. Personally, I downloaded the GRJ22 and flashed it, so I can have a clean and upgradeable GRJ22. Then I updated using the incorporated update tool from google OTA to GRK39F. It is better to do a factory reset before you flash the zip with the rom. Sorry for the messy explanation hope this helps. GL
Hmm, I downloaded the GRJ22 fitting me device from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664, placed it on the SDcard and tryed to go to recovery in fastboot, then the same thing happend again :/ (If that was what you meant)
I installed ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager, then I installed the downloaded file on my device. Now I'm running 2.3.6 :O Thanks for the help dude!
Hi
Many people complained last days that they have problem with SuperSU 0.99 app.
They cant update the binary and phone reboots its self after "update failed" message
I got an HTC One S with S4 cpu last week and i got the new Jelly Bean Update 4.1.1
Then i unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP custom recovery with One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0 tool kit
After that i tryed to Root the phone with SuperSU 0.99.
Seems worked fine until i tryed to update my binary.
I get message "update failed" and my phone restarts.
I tryed to wipe and reflash the root but still same.
I even tryed to remove SUPERSU from System/App but with no luck. It keeps coming back even if i
removing it and revert everything to stock its still in SYSTEM.
Now i found this new Superuser version and flashed it and now my phone works fine and updating binary.
No more phone restart.
Even my SuperSU 0.99 is gone from system.
How TO:
Download superuser from this page http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Then boot into recovery
Flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
Restart and voila the root works...
Hope i helped you guys.. Good Luck
Version 3.1.3 is reported to work better.
And doubt it really needed a new thread starting its discussed in most rom treads.
I started this thread just because of the issue SUPERSU 0.99 brings to HTC One S with Jelly Bean update.
I hope i can help someone because i didnt find any solution to my problem until i flashed superuser and it solved my problem.

I agree that this adds clutter, but I have been lightly following the threads for the JB ROMs and tried using superuser (though not the rc) without it working (still unable to update system). It's good to have this kind of solution in its own thread but general would probably be a better section.
Sent from my HTC One S Special Edition using xda app-developers app
This doesn't belong in the dev section for multiple reasons
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Im sorry i didnt see that it was Development section. If someone can move it pls do so.
everyone uses SU...... this is very important for everyone using JB... leave it in here...
I feel it belongs here... this is where SU apps are in the development section... SO, this is where it should stay... (that is just my opinion)
I never want to start this thread like an development because im not a developer.
Reason is that i want to share my issue with anyone who is facing the same problem as i did.
Just like i said if someone think this thread doesn´t belong here then admins can move it to right section.
Updated to JB with OTA yesterday night.
Short version:
-Initially rooted with CWM recovery-> flashed MoDaCo stock recovery
-Apply OTA
-Flash CWM recovery
-Used CWM recovery to flash SuperSU 0.99 zip
-Uninstall/reinstall SuperSu from the Market
When starting SuperSU, it asks for update, if agree -> reboot.
BUT
When using root needing apps, like Titanium backup or FX file manager, they ask for root permission through SU and everything runs normally.
So SuperSU seems to work, only the front end app has some bug. I'm staying with that config waiting for an update.
Hi, same problem here on S3 cpu. Is this method works on S3 cpu as well? Thx for replying.
Hi. I think I have a problem with SuperSU (or something else??). I first started SuperSU last thursday (31.1.2013.). It ask me to update binary, I hit OK, and then it took about half hour to restart. System then recovered, and everything seem to be OK, but it's not!
When I connect my HTC One S to PC I only see files created (photos, videos) until 31.01.2013. Also, when I run Settings -> Memory com.android.settings crashes.
What to do?
I'm new to android. Plese help!

Any idea on how to get SuperSU work instead of SuperUser? I purchased SuperSU in the play store and I think it just looks better...
The Afterlife6.0 was said to be compatible with my Nitro 401D which has the aame MTK no.
However, whenever I try to flash it (using cwm) it says installation aborted. It doesnt say any status about it eg Status 6 or Status 7 but i still used the fix for one which is trying to change the name in the updater script to fit the name of my phone but when I looked, it doesnt have that particular line for checking the name. And the other one was changing the directory of the lines in it but I didnt want to change it because i wasnt so sure about the directories myself.
Ive tried downloading from another source, still didnt work. Now Im wondering maybe its my phone so Ive been considering using SP flash to force it in(? Im still not quite sure what it does tho) and also change my custom recovery (currently cwm) to twrp or ctr. Maybe my phone cant flash anything at all so ive been also considering trying to flash a small file or like a test rom, are there any of those?
What should I do next? Im scared of forcing it in causr it says that if the phone has the wrong preloader my phone can never be recovered..

Do you install CWM successfully? Did you try another custom rom?

From everything I have done on trying to root this phone, I guess MTKdroid tools installed CWM in the process. It is rooted now tho, checked with rootchecker basic. I havent tried any other roms since Afterlife 6.0 is the only one i found.
UPDATE:
Apparently, the CWM wasn't properly installed, my bad :crying:
I tried to install another ROM like Lollifox (will try MIUI later, still downloading) but I don't think I ported it successfully tho because it just showed installation aborted, no Status whatsoever.
I have now flashed Afterlife6.0. However, its now stuck at boot but a while ago it was on boot loop but after wiping caches and doing a hard reset, its now on boot forever. By boot I mean it just shows the Sony logo (supposedly the Arc Mobile logo before I flashed the rom) then the logo disappears and then its just a black screen (a black screen as in its still turned on and not a black screen as you would see when a phone is off).
I'll try to flash my stock rom and root it again so that I could flash other roms for now while waiting for your reply.
try stock rom on the official site. than try to update cwm and try rooting again.
I already fixed it by flashing the stock tho so no worries I guess.
I successfully ported Lollifox but I encountered a problem where I couldn't save anything because my phone doesn't recognize my SD card. It can be seen in the settings/storage though but what the rom can't do is recognize that the "SD card" is internal not external. Its sort of hard to explain, I have 2 storages: Internal memory and Phone storage. The internal memory is the default place where apps go while the Phone storage acts like the SD card of this phone but its internal as well ( at least that's how it acts on the stock ROM). I tried unmounting it (apparently I have that option on Lollifox but its internal so I don't know how that's possible) and remounting it but no dice. Also, since it doesn't recognize the SD card, it kind of explains why there's no USB mass storage option when I connect it.
I tried to port the MIUI and did the 2 ways of porting it told in the site where the rom came from but whenever I flash it, it boots up and gets stuck at the logo of MIUI.
I'm leaning away from Afterlife 6.0 now cause I can't really see it would be a better ROM (and you got to give it that the themes of MIUI and Lollifox are pretty AF) but I think its more suitable (still can't flash it tho) . Can anyone give thoughts on the best rom for this or a fix for these problems?

sometimes you need to format the phone memory at the beginning for one time after you install new ROM. Try that and restart the phone. One time i did this like this problem. Sorry for my english.

Solved
I think I already solved my own problem though. I just had to do a few tweaks and do a little bit of trial and error myself. However, I still couldn't flash Afterlife (also tried porting it myself and Im suppose to do a logcat or something but I lack free time) but I still have a rom flashed don't worry. Kind of feel sorry it feels like a waste of a thread.
Now Im asking for this thread to be closed(or atleast I think thats how it works cause I dont seem to have that option myself)
Thank you
