[Q] Help: ROM installation problem

Hello,
I have obtained S-OFF and root for my sensation. My first attempt at installing a new rom was successful, and I used Android Revolution 3.6.1. Success, and I was happy. Now I decided to change to 4.1.2 and it hangs on the boot screen after installing the rom.
Can someone please tell me why 3.6.1 works, and 4.1.2 doesn't? The procedure should be the same, correct?
Thanks in advance!

Did you use the Super Wipe zip?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Yes, I used super wipe before installing each rom.

it might be your radio if you haven't updated it yet. thats the only other thing that could be missing. many people including myself have had successful flashes with 4.1.2 so thats not the problem. try updating your radio and super wipeing again.

Thanks for the suggestion. I updated my radio, but 4.1.2 still hangs on startup.

Did you forget something? Check Mike's tips and follow it. I flashed 4.1.2 four times today, it's ok.
Try another ClockworkMod Recovery. 4.0.1.4 from AlphaRev or 5.0.1.0 from ROM Manager is recommand in Mike's post. Mine is 5.0.2.0, just ok.

I followed the same procedure to flash 3.6.1 and when I flashed 4.1.2. For some reason, I can get only the first one to work, and not the other. I am certain both roms are working properly, but I was hoping to get some help as to why the one won't work on my phone.

Fixed: Let that be a lesson to you, remember to check your md5 checksum! Rom is now working perfectly.

I had faith in you the whole time been thinking about the possibilities all day

Thanks! Its all part of the learning experience I suppose.

Issues with kernel on 4.1.2, it has been superceded by 4.1.3, which is working fine and available now.
You did nothing wrong.

[Q] Loss of Keyboard on RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.25.401.101

Hi All,
I recently installed the latest ICS RUU on my sensation after successfully flashing the previous versions of ICS for my XE.
My problem came yesterday when all of a sudden i lost the keyboard, tried restarting the phone etc but keyboard never shows no matter what app im in etc. Im now re-downloading the current ICS RUU to re flash and hope that fixes it but just wanted to know if any one else has had this issue and if they know of a fix (if the re flash fails)
Thanks
Rob

[Q] HTC Sensation Z710E ICS update problems

Folks,
My phone is rooted, h-boot. I can't load any custom roms, so I decided to just stick with the stock rom. I received the OTA ICS updated today in the US (t-mobile) and tried to update. It errors out giving me the exclamation sign and green android logo. I've done research and tried to flash the RUU, I've tried several RUU that I thought fits my phone description. Apparently not the case though. Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.
Here is my specs:
phone: HTC Sensation Z710e European non-branded T-mobile
on 2.3.4
Software: 1.50.401.1
baseband: 10.56.9035.OOU_10.14.9035.01_M
The OTA ICS update I received this morning is the following name:
OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401.1_release_252072fll6erq

It was told at least a million times, that never install official OTAs on a rooted phone. Search the sticky/guide threads for solution.
And when flashing the correct RUU flash it from fastboot and make sure you have HTC drivers (come with HTC Sync) installed.

What's worse case scenario installing official OTA update on rooted phone? I don't care if i lose root or not. I just want ICS.

Problems without root
Hi,
I'm getting the same problem on an un-rooted phone.
The phone died half-way during the update download due to power outage/low battery.
So I deleted the old update file, which was half-downloaded and ran "Check for updates" again. This time it downloaded the complete file, but when it begins installation it's stuck for hours at the Android logo. The update doesn't seem to be installing. Had to re-boot the phone to get the old ROM back without ICS.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Some phones don't like the update mine didn't if you want to try

OTA Update to Android 4.0.4 ,Ver 2.31.401.5 & Sense 4.1 for S4 is Out!

Update: the first users got this OTA update on their stock, non rooted, untouched HTC One S (S4). Everyone could choose to wait to get the update in the normal way.
Required
- CID HTC 304 (some kind of universal carrier ID/ region, named the 'developers region'). Everyone can install CID HTC 304, if you're on European users. Ofcourse you can always restore your original cidnumber if you want.
- The stock 1.78 WWE ROM (d-h.st mirror or hotfile.com mirror). Also everyone need this ROM and everyone can install this rom if you have got CID HTC 304.
- Back-up of your files on computer. This update will format all partitions, even the sd card!

I would love it if someone could post a clean twrp nandroid recovery zip, a flashable radio, and the new boot.img! That way we could all flash without waiting for the ruu!

Still no OTA update for HTC__001 CID for 2.31 from 2.21
Don't know if I did this right, but because I am rooted on stock 2.21 ROM , I flashed stock recovery.img from 2.21 RUU over CWM recovery.img, and checked for OTA in settings and got that there are no updates available. Is this the correct procedure to do OTA update ? Don't know if I messed up something

Seems we can't get OTA from 2.21 ROM, we'll need to wait an RUU to upgrade...

I found this link and it states that it is for new OTA, but don't know for sure.
HTC released 2.31 OTA for One S, New OTA has Sense 4.1, Android 4.0.4 and new Radio.
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_Ville_U_I...1.78.401.2_release_275773ape8z1mahr0gt8fg.zip

I got the update earlier today (I had stock 1.78 before of course) but I think there might be a problem with it. It may be a coincidence, but I did not receive all SMS sent by a friend today. I'm not sure how many of them I didn't get, but I did not get one long SMS for sure (long like 3 SMS's) and maybe one or two others, including one sent by someone else.
Another minor problem I spotted: if I want to send a long SMS, the bar with word suggestions places itself right in the middle of the typing zone (in landscape mode at least).
My network operator says there is no known issues with SMS services today, that's why I thought about an issue with the update... Anyone else having this issue after the update?

Why do people keep posting this stuff in Q&A? The new radio is working great for me.

This is only the OTA. We want a full nandroid ROM. Someone could take a stock rooted 2.21 and replace the files in the OTA and flash it?

Whats new ? is there a changelog ?

New baseband, new kernel. Didn't have the time to figure out the rest by now.

and still no solution for the home button issue. The reception seems to be beter in 2g and 3g modes. Still I'm able te reproduce the home button issue in 'gsm' and 'gsm/WCDMA' modus, only 'WCDMA' mode prevents the home screen from flipping.
HTC One S Android 4.0.4. Sense 4.1 update 2.3.1. stock, no-root, no-unlock.

I hope this fits in here:
I just got the notification for the 4.0.4 update on my One S (in Germany) and tried to install it. My phone is rooted and I have ClockworkMod v5.8.3.1 installed. After rebooting the installation is cancelled with the following error:
E: unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD: Download/OAT_ville_...zip]
E: Can't mount INTERNALSDCARD: Download /OAT_ville_...zip
Installation aborted.
Du I have to install the update manually using CWM? Will this wipe my user data?
Thank you for your help!

You have to use stock recovery to apply an OTA update.
It should not wipe anything, but be wise and make a backup before...

Im on 2.21 locked, non rooted stock. How can I apply this update?

to return of stock download this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89172728/R....27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe

This OTA only for the RUU 1.78.. and 2.21 need to wait..

Can confirm 2.31 update (from 1.78) on my Stock non-rooted Euro (HTC__E11 CID) One S [Netherlands]. Current phone info:
For those wanting to know what's in the OTA from what I've tinkered around with:
Current device info:
Android: 4.0.4
Sense: 4.1
Software Version: 2.31.401.5
Baseband:1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L
Build: 2.31.401.5 CL90817 release-keys
Kernel: 3.0.8-01575-gbcda118 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
What I've noticed:
*Smoother transitions on home screens
* "Tabs" button in browser
*Back/Forward buttons rearranged in browser menu
*Recent Apps button can be configured for recent apps and "menu" in any order (touch/touch and hold)
*Less H/3G switching, higher data speeds in same network area
*Slight improvement in battery performance
*Transition for Recent Apps improved
*"Rescue" and "EA Games" app available
Other observations:
*Quadrant score improved from 4600 to 5480
*HTC System apps open much faster
*Screen rotation faster'
A weird glitch though, anybody noticed this: When the battery gets low and the LED starts flashing, if you touch and release the status bar, it triggers a LED flash. Like, by repeatedly tapping the status bar the orange LED flashes very rapidly upon touch. Anyone noticed that?

I don't think its a software problem. When I run ROMs based on the old 1.78 or new trick droid ROMs I don't have the problem.
I think its a actual hardware problem with the antenna at certain frequencies making the screen think your touching it.
The 2g/3g antenna is right behind the home button almost.

[Q] Installing OTA update / reinstalling stock recovery

Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"
.

You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.

So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?

maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.

I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work

Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
