[Q] Why am I getting the HTC Development Build text on boot running CM10?

Hi - a wild ride dumping Sense this morning. Now I think I'm running CM10 nightly without issue.
Question - why when the phone boots am I greeted with the HTC bootloader, with the red Developmental warning? It cycles once or twice like that, and then I get the CM bootloader. Phone boots fine.
I have Hboot 1.14. Unlocked through HTC Dev. Is something wrong or is that how it boots?
thanks.

That's how it boys of you are unlocked

How'd it go?

It will usually say one xl but I had that happen to me too but I didn't want to flash it like that so I went to my comp

Yeah it's fine to go ahead and do it, I did it earlier today and it worked fine.
After all they're basically the same phone.

Download this. Plug your phone in and just run the exe. Should have no problems since you say you're s-off.

NO. you are s off. Just run the ruu, then push a twrp recovery. After that just flash a Rom

Is this something I will have to do often when switching Roms now?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

You shouldn't be having any problems changing roms if you're s-off and doing the wipes.

No there is not. You just fast boot your recovery to your phone and then flash a rom
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

OK so just d so I got this straight. Ruu back to stock, unlock boot loader, flash recovery. And can this be done in Ubuntu?
Sent from my One X using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2

Ya do I have to lock bootloader to do this? Then get it unlocked after? Cause its telling me to charge ny phone when it is.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

If you're s-off bootloader unlock no longer matters. You can just run the ruu and away you go.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium

I believe you still need a locked bootloader to run an ruu

[Q] New to HTC One S

hello everybody! ive had a iphone for about 2 months now and couldnt take it anymore so i just bought a htc one s! i want to root it but i want to make sure i know everything that need to be done. i see the videos and the step by step processes but i have a few questions. every tutorial i see looks to be done on ics. i bought the phone and it was already on android 4.1.1. do the tutorials still apply? also when i plug my phone into my laptop it doesnt have the charge only/ sd mount (or whatever its says) like it does on ics version....it just says usb connected and wen i tap that it goes into hotspot and tethering options. it is a htc one s S4 so can someone please help me? thanks

You can still unlock boot loader the same way. To get s-off go through the development section till you find moonshine s-off
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Ok now what exactly does s off do and do I have to do it in order to root?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

No you don'tHAVE to do it. All you have to do is unlock boot loader. S-off just allows you to flash whenever you want. If your s-on you have to flash the boot.IMG from the rom.zip through adb

Oh ok. So how do I go by rooting this thing when I'm on android 4.1.1
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

You can use hasoon2000's toolkit to unlock the boot loader then install a recovery

You don't necessarily have to s-off except for certain things. If you want to flash custom ROMs, can be accomplished even without S-Off

There are these ROMs TrickDroid and zenROM. Sense 5 based. Head over to the Development section you'll find them there. Read the requirements for flashing the ROMs. If it says S-Off is a must only then should you go for it. Otherwise no need.

It's not that difficult. Also try non-sense ROMs like CM 10.1, ILLUSION 2.0 by $droyd$ (very good and stable ROM), PACman ROM.
best of luck.

I'm having trouble installing Elemental-X

I am running kickdroidXL on my at&t hock, and everytime I try installing Elemental-x, I can't not boot past HTC's splash screen. I've tried all default settings, and none work. I'm currently on whatever firmware the 3.18 ruu comes with.

Also I'm unlocked, s-off, super-cid, and have official twrp 2.3.3.0 recovery

Is there a reason you didn't post this in the Elemental thread instead of creating a new thread? Which build of Kickdroid? Which build of Elemental? Have you read the Kickdroid thread regarding the steps you need to take to stop signal problems and reboots?

Latest version of both. I posted here as you're not supposed to post questions in the dev thread as it clutters up the thread. I posted here because it is help and troubleshooting, which I need help with.

And I don't have any issues on rebooting or signal dropping.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Interesting, you'd be the first person to not experience signal loss on a Sense 5 ROM without upgrading your firmware. You could try updating your TWRP to the 2.6 version, see if that helps.
Sent from my Evita

Well, honestly, I don't have phone service so I can't know if I do or not.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

Um, you don't have service but you claim to not be having issues with signal? Am I missing something here?

Um. I never said anything about signal?

What do you mean by service?

As I do not pay for phone service. No calling or texting. Only using WiFi to call or text.

If I can chime in here. It looks like he's not even able to fully boot into the ROM after installing the kernel. I haven't used Elemental before. Does it have an aroma installer with different setting options?
Also looks by not having service he means that he is only using the phone via WiFi for apps and such.

Yeah it does and you're right. I can't boot past the HTC quietly brilliant splash screen. I've changed every setting possible and it simply won't boot.
