I'm new to this and tried searching for an answer but couldn't see it.
How to i get S_OFF? And what are the advantages? Do I need to do it? Help Me. Please.
Thanks,
Dan.
The how is going to vary greatly depending on what phone you have. You may want to find the forum specific to your device to find that information.
As to why - one reason is the ability to do nandroid backups/restores (more specifically the restore, I believe)

You should have said which device you have and post it in your device's general section. Anyways if you happen to have an HTC Aria with HBOOT 1.02.0000 then check here: http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthr...boot-1.02.0000. The advantage is that you would be able to downgrade the HBOOT allowing you to be able to root the phone rather than being stuck with the dreadful software update. If you want more freedom on your phone, then yes you need it.N.B- This is only for the HTC Aria (As far as I know).
I need to reflash my phone to fix some issues within the OS. Can anyone help me to get the ROM for it.
Thanks

PM me if any one need this Titan II (AT&T) ROM..
Typically, the place you start is the XDA-Devs forum specific to your device, or the XDA-Devs Wiki section for your device. In this case, although I found a number of ROMs for the "Eternity" (which I believe is the codename for the Titan) I don't think I saw any Titan 2 ROMs. It may be too new for official ROMs to have leaked yet? Anyhow, that's where you should keep your eyes out, and also where you should ask (on the forum, nto the wiki, obviously). This forum section is intended for questions about the OS, not device-specific questions.
I am looking for one as well. Scouring the internet and still no results. Hopefully it surfaces soon. *fingers crossed*

Hi,
I have an HTC sensation software number 1.50.415.1 (living in Lebanon) and I am trying to search for an update to Android 4 all the time but getting the same answer always: No update / new OS version for your device.
As I heart, the Android 4 can be installed on this device since more than 6, 7 months. Can anyone tell why I can not find an update for this device? Isn't there an update or is there any way to upgrade to Android 4 (without jailbreaking sure)?
How to check whether the installed OS is official or not? (since after contacting HTC support team, they said this software is not official while I am sure it is. Anyway nothing to say about HTC support team that are very careless and non-professional).
Thank you for your help in advance,
Fadi

Hey guys,
I have a desire s and tried to update from cyanogen mod 7.2 (2.3.7) to the official htc 4.0 update, downloaded the wwe ruu 4.0 update from htc,
the update completed but i can't boot. just get a black screen.
I can load hboot screen by pressing and holding down the volume down and power button. how can i get the 4.0 or 2.3.7 back?
Thank you
Read the stickies and use the search function please. Do you really think you are the first person to ask this?
Also, when you do ask questions, give more info about your phone so the guys who know what they're doing have a chance of working out what's wrong. :banghead:

Dont be a fool here. When people asked you to search, is because very similar or exactly the same questions/issues have already been asked, discussed and solved. And when people ask u to give more info, provide it eg, hboot, s-off, relocked.

Thanks Rain - you getting in there meant that I didn't go diving in and ripping the OP a new one for his attitude. I almost expect it from a newbie, but not from someone who has been on XDA for 7 years (even if they haven't exactly participated much). I guess that with him having not posted anything for almost the whole 7 years he probably hasn't been on here and is a virtual noob anyway.
I really don't understand why people are unable to firstly search and secondly to follow instructions given when they ask for help
Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

That would indeed explain his obsession with his CID. Good catch.

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?
