Hi guys,
After a lot of effort i managed to:
unlock bootloader
install CW 5
root the device
Now i need a reccomendation for an ICS or JB rom.
I need everything completely stable, that is highest priority, and after that comes the speed.
Please advise also about which kernel if i do need to change it?
I'm currently on GB.
I want to upgrade only with install zip from sd card if possible, from CW5 or whichever.
THANKS!
If you want an ics rom you will have to update your firmware to ics firmware which is 3.33 or 3.32.I believe you must be s off in order to do this. If your on gb right now to load any ics rom firmware must be updated.then once your ready I recommend to try out several roms for yourself and see which meets your needs best. Depending on your Rom, different kernels can be tired with the different roms. I'm running paranoid Android by Dragun Korr, it's jelly bean. My kernel is 3.0 51 by Dragun. I really love this rom. It's smooth fast and stable. However I suggest you try out several because everyone is different and has different opinions. It's always best to try for yourself and make your own conclusion. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Remember to do your nandroid backup before flashing so you can return to your old rom if need be. As long as firmware matches.
Have fun and experiment. I also recommend 4ext recovery. Some roms require it. And it's really a great recovery!

i suggest you first flash 3.32fw then 3.33fw
but you must be S-OFF in order to ugrade your fw version
hm, when i tried to flash 3.33 i got installation aborted
didn't i s-off when i unlocked the bootloader? is it a different thing?

yes it is different
edit:i saw that you are still in GB rom, that means it cames with 1.17-1.18 hboot version
you can S-OFF with this method http://revolutionary.io/
yes, it was 1.18
i did it now and when it asked me to install recovery, i skipped it since i already have it, i hope that is ok
gonna try to flash RUU now

flash ruu for what reason?
what is your hboot version now?
did you achieve S-OFF?
i ment flash firmware
1.7 hboot
it looked like s-off was good, how can i check?
again i got installation aborted for firmware

ok then
switch off your device
remove battery
insert it again
then hold power button and volume down together until it shows you the bootloader screen
in the top of the screen it will say S-OFF
now to upgrade firmware just follow the instructions in the link that i provided you
at the top it says PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
i went into recovery again and tried with the 3.32 as suggested and again, installation aborted, what am i doing wrong?
by the way, i really appreciate the support, it's a lot easier with this kind of help, and i work as a support member for other stuff so i know how it is..

that is your mistake.see the bold one as marked
upgrading the firmware version it can be done only via bootloader
it is not like roms or kernels.
see again the steps in the link on how to upgrade the firmware.you missed something
and yes you are S-OFF
yeah, it should find the new zip automatically, the problem is that i didn't get that
but you are correct, i tried again and now it worked!
installing new ROM now, finally
hopefully that will go without problems
thanks again
Hi also 4ext recovery is recommended. You can get download on xda or play store. It's really a great recovery and almost all use it. Its very easy to use and I believe some roms require it. You can download after installation of rom. If you have issues with download try 4ext. You won't be sorry. It's a great recovery

thanks,
yes i've been using it since the first guy responded i should try 4ext
not bad, i admit
Hi there.
I strongly suggest Android Revolution HD. I've been using it now for almost 2 weeks and its rock solid.
Its very smooth with decent battery life and you get some sick mods for it!
There is a link to the ROM in my signature.
Hey guys, after loads of testing the Trickdroid 10.x I decided migrating to [ROM][S4][JUNE29]V1.8.1 T-Mobile HTC One S JellyBean Stock/Rooted/deodexed/. So, as it was advised over there to update the firmware before flashing the ROM, I downloaded firmware.zip and did exactly as mentioned.
S-OFF
1. fastboot erase cache
2. fastboot oem rebootRUU
3. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
4. fastboot reboot
Click to expand...

These are all I did in a step by step process:
1. Updated the firmware (Success) - I could see hboot upgraded from 1.14 to 2.15.
2. Booted into recovery (twrp 2.4.0.0, which had no problems flashing 1.7.1) and flashed 1.8.1 - Caused continuous boot loops, I know I am S-OFF and don't need to flash boot.img.
3. Tried getting my ass on another rom, flashed Viper - Booted but I don't get any network signals + reboot if I unlocked the lockscreen.
4. Thought of trying some aosp/cm ROM, tried LiquidSmooth - Same thing repeats.
Solved signal issue by disabling fast dormancy lol !

I had this same issue. What I found after hours was that the only solution was to start at the beginning.
I had to return to S-ON (But keep SuperCID)
Lock Bootloader
Flash a Stock RUU w/low Hboot (Keeping SuperCID lets flash any)
After that was completed, I was up and running again, but I still had a signal issue. With the Lower HBoot I was able to re-flash the radio and I was up and running.
From there, I re-unlocked the Bootloader, installed the custom recovery and was able to flash a different ROM again.
I found that it was very dangerous to update to the 2.15 firmware, just caused problems for me. Hopefully that helped.
Also, with the [ROM][S4][JUNE29]V1.8.1 T-Mobile HTC One S JellyBean Stock/Rooted/deodexed/, it is USA based, so unless you are in the US I would just avoid it. I am but I chose Viper just because of the Firmware updates.

Thanks a ton for the help!!
What Hboot does the latest Tmob JB RUU contain ?? And why lower hboot in specific ?
Any particular reason ??
The new ruu updates it 2.15. Lower firmware= lower hboot. The lower hboot means makes it easier to flash radios. Most cannot be flashed higher than 1.13

That's where the lower HBoot comes into play. You are still able to flash a different radio. In the dev thread is the new 1.15 radio. Works great.

why didnt you just updated the official way,
mostly all problems are caused with flashing it manually or flashing only parts,
since there are multiple firmware versions for multiple devices its easy to **** up.
genericly people do it like this-----> flash first---->read/research later.
if your s-off reverting back is easy.

Hello.
I have an htc one xl (evita) which will not boot certain roms. I can boot some roms such as miui v5 and magiRom but I can not figure out why it will not boot roms such as CyanogenMod, ChameleonOS or TeamBaked BB9 as examples. These that will not boot will only boot loop and I'm going froot loop.
I am S-off, HBoot 1.09. Using TWRPv2.3.1.0.
I have tried TWRPv2.5, Hboot >1.09 and flashing boot.bin separately.

It may be I am mistaken. I thought it was baked but i was also trying a rom I was trying to port. During the time i was flashing from 1.09 to 2.14 and also seen that baked required 2.14. So with all that going on i was just trying boot.img and then the rom to ensure no errors.

Maximus HD --- No you need S-off for this. The firmware updates your Hboot, Radio, and you flash a different recovery and finally Rom
You might check out other Rom's that have Sense 5 4.2.2 features. They do not require S-off like Maximus does.
Hi thanks for your reply.
Do you know of any such roms that don't require the s-off?
I installed odyssey, its got no google playstore..suddenly my computer no longer recognizes my sd card / phone.
I tried adb push, managed to get a stock orang001 tmobile uk package to the root folder, but when i turn off the mount, it says its bad..which is a little odd.
Seems thought I got odyssey installed / flashed etc, its so bare as its practically useless to me unless i have google, plus its got weird glitches on boot up, taking forever, always booting into the developers screen etc.

With Odyssey you have to flash slim gapps after you install the rom.
Your Sd card (partition) may be corrupted, the way to fix that is to put the stock recovery back on your phone then go to bootloader and "clear storage"
All of the other Roms don't require S-off, MagioRom is being actively developed with the sense 5 and 4.2.2.

Maximus HD --- No you need S-off for this. The firmware updates your Hboot, Radio, and you flash a different recovery and finally Rom
You might check out other Rom's that have Sense 5 4.2.2 features. They do not require S-off like Maximus does.

I was able to load Maximus HD ROM with S-On but only issue I had was wireless.

Please tell me how did you manage to install MaximusHD ROM without S-off!
I'm a little scared since I read they have a lot of problems while installing this ROM.
I'm using CM10.1 right now, but I would like to have sense 5 on my HTC One S.
I have unlocked boot loader and TWRP recovery.
I read there are other ROMS with sense 5 like MagioRom, which doesn't require S-Off (As far as I know)
Is there a great difference between MagioRom and MaxiumusHD? All I want is Sense 5 on my phone without all the terrible of S-offing!!

I tried Maximus with CWM, did i using sideload and them flash the boot.img file. but it was a disaster as my device didn't connect to wifi and had some call drops then I tried flashing twrp and then sideloaded magicrom 4.0 and flas boot.img, it looks lot better now but only issue right now is my phone keeps on rebooting and am still waiting for a stable rom to be released.
I read MagioRom comments and they say with that ROM phone reboots a lot. So I think the only way is with MaximusHD. The WiFi problem I think it can be fixed. I don't know about the call drops, but many have this ROM as daily use so I guess it's ok. I will try S-off with moonshine method, then try install Maximus. Hope my phone survives.

Hey guys,
I have been looking everywhere and I know there are tonnes of threads on this but I cannot seem to find anything that will work for me.
Here is my dilemma:
My current Rogers HTC One X is on a PACMAN ROM, the last few days it has been awful. Several bootloops and it will not stay on. My current setup is this:
Unlocked
S-off
HBOOT - 2.14
Radio - 0.23a.32.09.29
I feel that the issue is maybe I need to be using firmware 3.18 and HBOOT 2.15, but for the life of me cannot find anything for Rogers to get me to this point.
Like I said, I am sure there are hundreds of threads but I have looked and cannot seem to find what I am looking for.
I am wondering if i should go to stock and start over....if so, I hear that I cna use the AT&T RUU....again, whatever info or direction that anybody can point me will be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried clean flashing the ROM again? Have you tried flashing another ROM? You show that you have the 2.14 hboot but then mention you have the 2.15 hboot, which one is it?

I have 2.14, I cleaned flashed with the Beanstalk ROM, seems to be ok, a couple of freezes and reboots still.
I've experienced the same issues with Beanstalk, try flashing the Torched kernel and those issues should stop.

I flashed the kernel, everything was working ok for a bit.
I rebooted the phone and it stuck at the Beanstalk flash screen, so I had to reflash everything again. Started to reinstall everything and it did it again. So my phone is now stuck at the Beanstalk flash screen.
I updated the ROM to 10/27 as well.
I would like to flash it back to stock and start over but cannot find the stock RUU for Rogers, I have looked but everything seems to be AT&T RUU's.

Perfect
So i will download the stock firmware and the 2 OTAs
Flash back to stock, will I need to flash the OTAs or will they just automaticlaly download once I am back to stock. I did this once before but cannot remember??
I know there is a link on this site showing how to flash back to stock, I use to have it as a favorite but I formatted the pc, so i dont have it any longer. Would you happen to have a link??
Hate to bug you for this, just want to get my phone back up and running.
Thanks for all you help
You can try using the "search for updates" tool in settings, it may or may not work. I don't have a link but there really isn't much to using an RUU, just connect your phone in fastboot mode and start the exe program in Windows. Make sure no other programs are running and make sure screen saver / hibernation is turned off. Follow the prompts once the program has initiated and that's it.

Awesome.....for some reason i thought there were a bunch of fastboot commands that had to be done for RUUing. If the phone doesnt automaticlaly find the OTAs, then i can do each one separately the same way as the stock firmware.
If it doesn't find the OTA's and install them automatically, you can install them manually through the stock recovery.

Alright, was able to flash back to stock and then it automatically updated the OTAs
I am now back at firmware 3.17.631.2(4.1.1), hboot 2.14, with s-off
Everyone is taking about being on 3.18 and hboot 2.15, does that make a big diference?
I havent reflashed my ROM yet....will also flash the kernel at the same time
anything else i should do before i flash my ROM

Flashing 2.15 is only really suggested for sense 5 4.2 roms as it will eliminate any issues you might run into. While its often ok to flash both rom and kernel at the same time I always push for a full boot after a rom flash before flashing something else and factory reset prior to flashing the kernel.
3.18 software vs 3.17 is just carrier related and makes no difference.

Good to know, i havent used any sense 5 ROMS, been using PACMAN, Beanstalk, ones like that
Since I am on Rogers, is there even a way to get to 3.18, would it have to be a different carriers firmware to get there??

The 2.14 firmwares are practically identical except the radio firmwares theres really no point but you could run an at&t ruu if you wanted. 3.18 is the software version which will be overwritten when you flash a new rom anyway so its beyond pointless.
