Hi everybody:
I need to ask this: what its the difference about the forum "One X android development and One X Original Android Development" until this day I only used roms from "One X android Develepment" but I see in the other post are roms too....
I installed cocinated roms on my HTC ONE X LTE AT&T, Im from version 2.20... but If I decided to install again the original factory rom ( version 2.20 ) nothing happen with my phone ? and If I decided to get it again, where can I get the original version version 2.20 and how to reinstall it ?
just ask because I try several cocinated roms ( the last used its viper rom ) but in this last rom my phone battery its drain very very fast, and with the original version 2.20 ( without a root ) the battery have a good life....
please, any help with this questions ? please ?
Android development is mods, tweaks, kernels and ROMs that have to do with sense based software.
Original android development has to do with raw Google software, I.e. aosp ROMs and kernels. Contains aosp, aokp, PA, miui.... in short its Google software without any manufactured overlays. Hope this helps

Or original is unique ground up builds. And then android is usually sense and slightly modded aosp, like brick beatz

Umm I'm not sure because of language barrier but, maybe he's referring to like a RUU? do you want the phone to go back to the way it was when you bought it?

yes that its my question, how if I dont feels good with install any cocinated rom, so No go back at all, just only stay root my phone but install the original factory room ( you say RUU ) , I just say this because I remember when I update my phone to the version 2.20 ( without root ) my battery its very fine because its longer life....
If I want to do this, where can I get that RUU and how to install it, and if I can do this, nothing happen with my phone ?
Nothing will happen, although you will lose root and you will be relocked :thumbdown: but very easy to root and unlock again :thumbup:
One more question before I provide the correct ruu, you are 100% sure it was version 2.20 before you rooted?

yes, this its the version that I was downloaded and installed to my phone, then I pass several months with this room, until the new exploit to have root show in XDA Developers... so I rooted..
My phone its those what we need first flash via Fastboot the "boot.img" and then flash the room...If I dont do this the phone dont start, just show the "initiating swager" and never start up.....
I came from this version :

Keep in mind several things:
1) Battery meter when you flash a ROM is not accurate. You need to use the phone for a couple days until the meter re-calibrates itself. Charge to full, then drain to 10-20%, and repeat a couple times to get the most accurate calibration. You need to do this every time you flash a new ROM, otherwise the battery meter readings can't be trusted.
2) Rooting in itself does not affect battery. Its not a matter of root versus non-root that is causing battery drain (my feeling is that the meter is just not calibrated, per item 1 above). Other causes for battery drain may be mis-matched radio and RIL. You can try a different radio.
3) If you just want to revert to the stock 2.20 firmware, you can try flashing the stock pre-rooted version here.
I wouldn't recommend running the RUU just to get back to stock ROM. You would have to relock the bootlaoder, run the RUU. Then unlock bootloader and re-install TWRP if you ever want to install custom ROMs again. Flashing the pre-rooted ROM I linked is just much easier.
4) Make a nandroid backup in TWRP next time, before flashing ROMs. That way, you can just revert to the old ROM, if the new ones you've tried are giving you any issues.
5) What the heck does "cocinated" mean? I Googled it, and aside from an obscure Twitter feed with no posts, this thread is the top result!

I always have a nandroid (TWRP backup) around, in case anything goes wrong flashing or doing other mods. At least on your computer, that you can load onto the phone. But on the phone's SD itself is the safest place to keep one (if you can afford the space).
Don't have to make a nandroid of every ROM you flash. But at least one known good one, that you can revert to in case of trouble. I always do a nandroid of the stock ROM (after bootloader unlock, root, etc) in case I want to revert to it. But its not completely necessary. Just a known good, working ROM.

hey everyone,
I have been on this forum many years but now I have to restart again: I switched to the Desire S, over from good ol' windows..
I am confused by all the posts and just need a quick answer so I can start contributing here. I bought a Hong Kong Desire S in Beijing, it is S-OFF (I checked) and has some ROM on it which contains a lot of preinstalled stuff. Now I would like to switch to a pure, clean stock ROM.
Question 1: is there a clean, official ROM I can flash on the phone which will be updated over the air by Google/HTC legally, or will I need to do the update (as soon as there is a new Android version) from now on myself?
Question 2: IF I flash, do I need to care which ROM I use or can I flash in there whatever I want? Like, try a Europe ROM first, then a US ROM and maybe an Asian one afterwards? Will they all work, despite my phone being from Hong Kong?
Question 3: will the phone keep being S-OFF even after flashing?
I am aware that there are all the answers out there somewhere if I search long enough, but I would really appreciate if you could be so nice once and give me short answer here
thanks a lot!!
henrik
If you take a look in the thread a little way down, there is a selection of shipped tons 'shipped desire s rom collection', currently they are mostly various carrier based European, there is a clean stock rom also, which I'm running until I get s-off. However there are a couple threads with customised roms one from MarylandCookie and one from LBC, that may be a little more interesting. The custom roms won't change s-off, but I am unsure whether the stock roms will....
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Once you are S-off flashing roms does not take you back to S-on, in fact I don't think its possible to go back.
Its also now possible for you to become root.
I'd be more tempted by the custom roms in this thread than by a stock rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
haha,
you guys are good, thanks a lot! "sent from my desire S", guess I need to install the xda dev app too asap
ok, then as a last question: I also would tend to install a custom ROM, however, isn't it true that after flashing such a ROM I cannot use the Marketplace app AND also will not receive official OTA updates?
On the other hand, if I install the Europe Stock ROM, I keep both these opportunities right? meaning, the stock rom will be updated regularly and I can buy apps on the app market?
You'd be best off to try both and see what you find to your liking
makes sense.
will download both and first try the newest MOD rom.. Hope I only have to connect it to the PC and run the exe.
Thanks both of you for your help!
cheers!

Custom: no problems with market - no ota updates (don't even try it - will mess your system if forced - but normaly will abort)
With EuropeStock you will be able to update without problems - but you will not have the nice sense3.0 lockscreen.
For both: root with "gingerbreak"
Than with clockworkmodrecovery (ROMmanager from market) you can do backups of the ROMs and could try both. BUT: BEFORE you install the OTA-update you have to switch to stock-recovery.
"good old win": I was on win-moblie for years - you will not miss it..
hth
I rooted my phone with gingerbreak successfully, but the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" process stops after 5-10min, saying it was unsuccessful.. Is there another way to flash the custom rom, or better: is there something I forgot? do I need to change a setting somewhere? format the sd card?
Got it!!
Thanks everyone for your support!

Hey , I'm new here so ill say hi too. Anyways , a week ago I got a Desire S for my birthday and before i had an ipod touch. I know that jailbreaking an ios device is easy and if you mess up you simply restore. What about an android device? What are the risks of rootibg and can you restore itback to its original state for warranty purposes? Are the roms there any roms available for daily use? ( 3.2.5, sense 3.5 , ice cream sandwich? ) Thanks in advance
Oh and, if ill decide to root what should I do / save to uunroot?
Android's are usually quite easy to restore. Just download the RUU thingy, available on this forum.
this thread is really good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
just give a good read through all the threads in the guide section.
I've found that it's not easy to brick an android device or mess something up. All you need is a backup of your rom (which you'll understand after reading the guides) and you should be safe.
Well all I need to do is save my ROM? How do I do that?
Also what are kernels and radios and hboots? completely newbie to this..

Follow the link and read the general guides. If you still have questions then please do ask
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Well I couldn't really find anything about kernels and radios, and to backup my ROM I need a rooted device? What if its too late? How can I know if I have a faulty chip?I don't want to wreck my device...
Well there's not much you can do if your chip is faulty, but you can do things to stop your phone breaking.
Never pull the battery out is a key one. If you have to, try pressing volume up + down and the power button at the same time. There are also other things you should do. Ben Pyett is great with helping about the eMMC problem
The radio and hboot is something you shouldn't worry about. I've never bothered messing around with them and you really don't need to.
Kernels are flashed in the same way as ROMs. Through clockworkmod recovery or 4ext recovery. Whichever you want. All you have to do is choose the right one for the ROM you're flashing ie a sense kernel for a sense rom. In the desire s section you'll find 3 sense kernels and 1 aosp kernel. AOSP are ROMs like cyanogenmod which don't have any GUIs like sense. With two of the kernels ( Hyperion and Endymion) you must choose the right version of sense. Hyperion is for sense 3.0 and Endymion is for sense 3.5 and the unity kernel can be used for any version of sense.
Making a backup is easy. All you have to do is go into recovery and select the backup and restore option and choose backup. You must do this before flashing a custom ROM because if the install fails you'll have something to fall back on.
I've tried my best but if you still have more questions then ask.

Always make a nandroid backup, it just means if anything goes wrong you should be able to restore your phone to it's exact previous state.

Also , my dad really liked the 3.5 update so I tried doing the same on his Desire and well when its reaches "zerging root" it says that it failed with a sad smiley..
Could it be because he has a update available but won't install it? ( As its impossible for him because at the end of the New firmware download it says damaged file or something.. )

Hi
I if you use sense 3.5, swype is already built in. Go to the keyboard settings and turn htc trace on.
Swype away!
However if you want full swype, its a beta, I recommend just signing up on their website to get the apk, its free
Not to sure about your dads desire, best bet is to ask the desire forum
Hope it helps...

there's the swype installer, that's what you need to install swype, but i think you still have to sign up. Might be wrong though.
As per title, is there a complete JB Rom that I can obtain?
I'm a new Android user and yet to touch the stock Telstra One XL rom, so yes I'm a newbie to this.
I basically want the full functions of the phone like using the camera etc, as I noticed some roms here aren't final.
And Sense 4.0 is quite laggy and I'm really anal about it, so thought a clean and bloatware-free OS would do the trick.
If anyone can assist please.

What you need to do first is look inside the threads for original android development when you see 1 that said jelly bean or c m 10 read the very first host of the thread and see if it says a daily driver. If you're new to routing and developing for android you may get overwhelmed really quickly so it's best to wait until you find a rom that is available as a daily driver .

OK, thanks mate. Yes I want to use it and pretty much forget it, until a new software update becomes available from HTC/Telstra.
Just looking for a clean installation. Not really liking Sense 4.0 performance-wise.
I'm gonna be honest: I love Sense (at least the way the widgets look), but everything else is ehh. Check out the AOKP ice cream sandwich rom. It's optimized for speed. Once you root and unlock your bootloader that should be the first one you check out: it made MY XL run smooth as butter

Currently I don't think there are any Jelly Bean Roms that are 100% done. I am using the CM 10 by h8rift and I think this one is as close as there is to being 100% done. Here is the link to check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032.
I am using this as my daily driver and haven't had too many problems with it and I love how fast and smooth everything is. That being said if you are looking for a rom that you can flash and leave and not mess with basically forever I wouldn't recommend and of the Jelly Bean ones. Some of them are getting close to being complete but none are quite there yet. I would stick to one of the Ice Cream Sandwich roms. I haven't tried any of them so I don't have personal experience with any of them but I do like the work h8rift has done on the CM 10 rom so I would at least look at his CM 9 rom and see if that looks good for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808206. As I copied the link still seems like there are some things that need to be sorted out so I might go with the person above me's recommendation as he at least has personal experience.
Hope this helps!

no, you'll brick your phone with that ROM. ROMs in that section are ONLY for International HOX.
regarding on unlocking and rooting, like others have said, I'd suggest you go to this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541
read as much as you can on threads related to unlocking and rooting, otherwise, it can brick your device if something is wrong. And reading those can also helps you understand how things work so you can troubleshoot problems later on.

Can someone please confirm that these steps are either spot on or if I'm missing something?
Just to recap, its a HOXL - version 1.89 - Telstra (AUS)
Plug phone via USB (Charge only)
Enable USB debugging
Go to HTCDev to unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP custom recovery via Fastboot (GooManager) Google App store
Flash Pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Telstra AUS tick approval).
I just did a backup, factory reset and wiped all data. I want to keep the factory ROM, just in case things go south.

Yep! Though your recovery flashing step is worded a bit weird. What you can do is download GooManager Beta from the Play Store, open it, hit menu, and select Install OpenRecovery (or something like that, I forget the exact wording). That will download and install TWRP for you. Reboot into recovery to confirm it worked.
Forgive me..I tried searching but couldn't find anything. I was previously rooted and bootloaded unlocked, then my phone constantly was asking to do the ATT update. Eventually it forced me to do it and now I don't have root. Is there anything I can do? Currently I really only need root to use wifi tethering, although I would like to be able to be rooted and unlocked to install new ROMs in the future.
Right now there is NO root exploit for the new update. Your gonna have to kick back and relax. Sorry Honestly you should have flashed a custom Rom. That would of prevented your phone forcing itself to update.

If the op still has the unlock code he can use it to unlock it and flash a custom recovery and ROM

100% this
If you EVER unlocked, you still can. Just unlock BL again, install recovery, push root, or just install another ROM.
Cool. Thanks people.
I don't really feel like there is a completely stable rom right now which is why I never flashed one in the first place. Unfortunately when I was getting the OTA update notice I must have some how hit accept, then it was too late and I couldn't cancel it in the middle. Now I'm updated and stuck.
I'll try to do the unlock again but I'm not sure what you mean but "push root".
edit: the bootloader unlock did work. I have twrp recovery new. Last step is to root. Thanks for the help.
Completely stable Rom? Wow, there are plenty ... Wcx roms are 100% stable and his sense 4.1 rom is not only 100% stable but has all the mods and tweaks built in, all built none ported And honestly there is none faster ....

I must be a tard. I searched the dev forum for "WCX" and came up empty.

Cool. Thanks people.
I don't really feel like there is a completely stable rom right now which is why I never flashed one in the first place. Unfortunately when I was getting the OTA update notice I must have some how hit accept, then it was too late and I couldn't cancel it in the middle. Now I'm updated and stuck.
I'll try to do the unlock again but I'm not sure what you mean but "push root".
edit: the bootloader unlock did work. I have twrp recovery new. Last step is to root. Thanks for the help.

Wcx roms are outside xda, search with google
And of course clean roms, and Mr. Magicals roms are pretty sweet as well

i am new to the one s but not to flashing. i am coming from a galaxy s sprint epic. while i was on that, cm10.1 & 10.2 were great advancements to the stock gb which always seems to take forever for updates. but with this huge leap in smartphone power, do i really need to root & flash? even with all the bloatware that i don't use, the phone is very fast. and i can get two days easily from my battery (which i charge every night so that's not an issue). i used to flash just to have the latest but i think i just want functionality. also, i don't put that much on my phone so 16g should be plenty, even with all the bloatware. not that i wouldn't flash to get better use out of my device but i just don't think i need to. please convince my otherwise.
Root just to try new roms or mods that improve your experience. Otherwise no need

The stock experience is great IMO. Only point in rooting is to remove bloatware

I'm surprised--
You joined in 2008 and still posted in wrong section
You have flashed roms before and still curious to the benefits of rooting
No disrespect--just a thread you would expect a new member/user to start
Either way, Happy New Year to you and all--

Once youve been rooted, you cant be without root, regardless of ROM.
There are plenty of benefits in rooting even on stock roms.
Infact, a non-rooted device is like a windows PC with only access to your desktop...

explain why?
why?
i guess i wasn't clear. i know the benefits of root. i've been flashing roms on my last 3 devices. the answers i was trying get were more along the lines of what are the main changes people are making to their stock phones. does all the bloatware inhibit speed or limit space? are there roms or tweeks that people can't live without? or do people unlock, root and flash just because they like to mess with their phones/have the latest even if it doesn't work correctly?

No, it is in General--It's all good--
When I get my Note 2/3 I will probably only root for Nandroids and Titanium BackUp. I think that phone and maybe SGSIV may stand on their own without a need to flash roms. Might be wrong though-- There are still more sweets after Jelly Beans--
Your last question answered your own question. Today's smartphones don't really require root, UNLESS you like tweaking your phone.....which most of us love to do, otherwise we wouldn't be here. You can easily get rid of bloatware with a new launcher. IE: Nova or Apex are my favorites. Just disable and hide them, you'll never see them again. Back in the day people rooted mainly to get the latest OS quicker....these days the newer smartphones already come with the latest OS, so it's all a matter of whether you like tweaking your phone or not. There are still great benefits to rooting, but these days it's more personal preference over flashing the latest OS.
Just my 2 cents.

I can explain it in one word: Control.
I want to be in charge of the device, not letting the device be in charge of me. If you want that you might as well go with apple, who makes good devices with a terrible OS, imo.
Well I will root my htc one s because the latest update to 4.1 is crap. My battery drains so fast. So if I don't find a solution for this I might downgrade back to ics 4.04 or maybe a better custom rom...otherwise I would've kept the rom not rooted. Especialy because now we can disable an app that it is not usefull.

Can't comment on stock but Blackout rom has been good for me.
I root because you can never seem to turn the screen brightness down far enough without root access, that and I don't like being locked out of a file system by manufacturers who don't trust my common sense.
I flash only when a device is older and/or no longer getting updated and something like CM gives me a major improvement.
Even if you want to run a stock ROM, unlocking/rooting (and flashing a custom recovery) enables you to make and restore nandroid backups and use tools like Titanium. It's also makes it easier to repair if you ever run into trouble like boot loops.
