(Question) How to install blindice on s-on devices? - HTC Desire S

Hey community?
I have been following this wonderful community for more than a year and had a question regarding how to install Blindice v12 on my desire s with s-on.
I have had cm7 and miui on my device before. It means you can't straight flash through recovery( you have to flash kernel through fastboot). So when I open bindicev12.zip, I see a kernel folder and four different folders named : default, sio, smartass and sweeptowake which have their individual boot.img . So which one should I flash? The default one? Help is really appreciated.

Check the updater script to find hints and identify which boot.img you should flash.
There should be, somewhat close, to "if" clauses.
I haven't installed blindice yet so really just trying to help out, out from common sense.

Thanks I think the sweeptowake,sio etc are just governers. The default one is cm9. Is is safe though?

You'll never know unless you try. Based on experience, if the rom is on a wrong kernel, it just not boot up. You may end with a boot loop or boot directly to recovery. Those are the signs that your are not on the correct kernel(boot.img).

Cheers. Changed my mind. I am gonna install different ics from vampire36 as blindice is no longer under development.

I believe the dev is now focusing on BlindBean..

ARG!! how OCD can I possibly be

So, I'm loving CoreDroid, but it bothers me that it says DesireHD in the Phone info screen. I found the instructions to change it (and made the change in my coredroid zip file), but do I really want to set my phone up for a second time today just to change one entry?
In reflection, I think I will just check this particular entry in all future ROMS
Since it is the same rom and version, you should be able to flash right over top of it with out a full wipe.

Don't quote me, but it should work just fine actually what you could do is just delete everything and reflash the files you want to replace, this is how a theme is flashed.
So put the .xml file I need replaced in a zip in the proper folder structure, delete the file from the phone, boot into recovery and flash my zip?
I'll def be making a nandroid first, but thank you so much!
Speaking of nandroid. Does a nandroid capture EVERYTHING (apps, app data, call logs, etc) or just system state?
well what I would do (like you said) place the xml in the correct file structure, and then just delete anything else inside the zip that doesn't need to be flashed.
you shouldn't even have to delete it from the phone.
yes everything on the rom partition.

It also replaced my coredroid boot animation.
And it didn't fix the Model number in phone identity.
GRRR!
I did read elsewhere that this has to be fixed before the initial flash.
Oh well, next time I flash a Rom I'll make sure to change it.

Yeah. I just looked at the default.xml file and it was flashed properly.
Like i said in my edit, I did read that this has to be changed prior to the first flash to take.
Also, I'm kind of digging the Leedroid boot animation, and it fits nicely with the CoreDroid theme.

[REQ] Kingwolf Kernel

Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I recently saw that in proxusers runnymede 1.5 version, he has kingwolfs kernel itn it.
Is there anyway we can get it extracted and flash it separately to roms we desire?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Funny asked the same, but never got any response....
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
I think that you can use adb to pull the Kernel (boot.img) from a phone with this kernel installed (not sure but I saw a guide somwhere in Google).
The other way (I just did it to extract the kernel on my phone via the Terminal Emulator):
open the terminal on your phone
type
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 > /sdcard/boot.img
[*] actually I cannot verify this but the extracted boot.img can be flashed via adb or fastboot and then see the version in the Setings of the phone :)

[Q] How can I boot multiple roms?

Hi, I want to know how to boot more than one rom using Boot Manager... i've tried to do it numerous times but each time I just get frozen on my carrier logo on reboot. What partitions do i need setup? I'm a bit of a noob so if it's really complicated can you simplify it. Thanks in advance.
Dude, I made a thread on this - did you need to make another one?
I've had no luck either... Tried it on about 5 different ROMs, but never works! Have you tried formatting your memory card?

Are you sure?
Boot manager app has given official support for our device. And I have seen proof of it working - on youtube on a Desire S booting CM7 & MIUI.
Also bootmanager cleverly overrights the kernel with the new boot.IMG each time you flash.

I guess that's the point, miui and cm can use the same kernel.

Well the app allows you to change the boot.img before you boot into a different ROM. So it should still work

[Q] Dual Booting Recovery on One X

Question​I was wondering if dual booting recovery/bootloader was a possibility for our device? If so what do we need to do to accoplish this? I have this on my AT&T SGS2 i777 and enjoy being able to test a ROM before using it, and I could have JB on one and ICS with a custom kernel(Blackout BeastMode v2.1) on the other. I think an official CWM Recovery would help or include this, because I believe right now its unofficial. I dont know for sure, I have used TWRP for a while now.
Any input is appeciated so long as it is on ow the xda forum rules.
This is a really good idea I tried to manually set up dual boot from the market but it would fail every time at modifying the boot image. I would love to be able to bounce between to roms as well.

It would use the same method as boot manager

[Q] Sense based ROM's won't work on my HOXL

Hi every one ! since I rooted my hoxl I have only flashed aosp ROMS not sense based roms , so yesterday I decided to flash one (Hakataxl) when the phone booted up I cooldn't pass from the lock screen when I tried to slide the ring , boom reboot I even flashed the ROM twice !
and flashed another rom (VIPER) the same thing happend please help me
Also did you do a full wipe in twrp? Factory reset, system, cache, dalvik cache?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm on 1.09 hboot and after I switched From liquidsmooth Rom to viper, viper wouldn't boot. I actually has to flash kernel separately. And instead of the viper boot screen liquid smooth screen kept popping up. The Rom would boot but crash and reboot once I tried to do anything with the phone.. so maybe try flashing a sense kernel after Rom install regardless of your hboot. Also make sure you wipe everything venomtester said

Is your screen not working at all? Are your volume buttons still active at the welcome screen?
If this is the case it sounds like you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. This can be done here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

"System reboots on Sense" is almost always "out of date firmware".
You need to flash a firmware.zip for Jellybean ROM's.
There is one floating about in the ViperXL thread that contains a few things you need and avoids things like hboot 2.14 etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
"WiFi Partition Updates".
The other way to do it is to get a first round 3.17/3.18 ota and flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode.
I say first round as many carriers are now onto their second 3.17 and they are not complete firmware.zip and lack many of the firmware files.
The first round ones are all complete.

No tweaks. I just use greenify to nullify any wake locks and disable any radios I'm not using.
I get about 16 hours checking texts, listening to tunein radio to and from work.

I just use on demand. Though I have used smartass v2 and Wheatley in the past which also yielded good results.
I only use the Jacob kernel for swipe to wake, otherwise I would probably use stock.
