Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install a recovery on HTC ONE S (S4-1.7Ghz).
I've installed all fastboot/adb drivers needed, adb recognise the device and I've flashed successfully many recoveryes img.
The problem is: I'm not able to ENTER the recovery.
In bootloader, i press the power button when "recovery" is highlighted, so the phone tries to enter the recovery (pink text "Entering recovery...") but remains stuck on the "HTC - quietly brilliant" logo and a red text under it:
"This build is for develoment purposes only.
Do not distribute outside of htc without HTC's written permission.
Failure to comply may lead to legal action" <-- What?? Why?? What I've done??
I've bought this phone from expansys (UK model)... unlocked from any carrier.
Please help me :/
If your default clock speed is 1.7 then you have a s3.

Maybe I've damaged the phone installing an s4 recovery?

First of all, if that is your stock cpu speed, than you have an s3, not s4
Second, that message is normal, you'll see it everytime you boot into recovery.
It'll take some time to boot but you'll get used to it

First make sure if you have a S3 or a S4 (there are several threads which explain the differences)
If you have a S3 you have to be sure to install a custom recovery that works with S3.
I had the same problem, because I have a S3 and tried to install the wrong recovery!
Try with TWRP for S3 if you have one!

Yes, I've an S3 model
So I can't install... every ROM out there, except for stock-based Sense rom.
This is bad, I wanted to install CM10 on this phone, to leave forever the Sense interface and customizations...
There's trickdroid for s3. It's not sense-free but better than stock
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Well then welcome to the S3-community
Be patient, maybe someday we will get a ROM which is not based on Sense

I'm crazy, I bought the two worst-dev-supported devices: HTC one S (S3) and Nexus 7 3G (tilapia)
The funny thing is that HTC one S4 and Nexus 7 Wifi are insanely supported...
I'm sure that Nexus 7 will reach excellent dev level, but I'm not sure about this HTC one S... :/

Just wait for it. Every day the S3 community is growing bigger.
So there will be either more devs who get a S3 or more devs will port their Roms to S3.
Until then, I can recommend to you TrickDroid 4.0. It is still Sense but there are enough ways to customize your phone.

Hi guys, i've looked everywhere for the similar posts & i can't seem to find one!
Please bare in mind this is just a general interest as i no longer have the phone!
Sorry in advance if there is one!
Right, a few months ago i had my HTC sensation XE (with beats audio)...
Orginally came with Gingerbread and i updated to ICS successfully.
A few weeks passed and i decided to read up on rooting my sensation.
I went through the process of rooting and flashing recovery etc and that went through all fine, then i became interessted in ROMS.
I created a nandroid back-up in CWM recovery just incase anything went terribly wrong - which it did - the phone got stuck on HTC start up screen... wouldn't move from there. I kept restarting to see if it'd be nice and start up but it never did. So i panicked i started trying to run RUU's, flash my nandroid back up.. all of which were successful, but still stuck on the htc screen?
Any ideas what i done wrong?
I'm getting a HTC One X today and i'm considering rooting, i really don't want the same thing happening again!
All ideas i'd be happy to read!
Thanks!
Did you use the correct firmware for the rom? Ics takes 3.32 firmware. If you don't flash the correct firmware it will cause big problems.

Good question, that could be why- i literally tried so many rom's and ruu's and tricks to try and get it past the htc screen.
Do you think it's worth me Rooting my HTC ONE x?
Thanks for the reply x
When you do that you should update your firmware but sense you didn't it caused a boot loop and when you try to go to your nand back up you lost your boot.IMG thats why it won't boot extract from the zip file and place it in the same folder that contains your adb driver and fastboot and typ your commands to get your fastboot driver working and then typ fastboot flash boot boot.img when thats done typ fastboot reboot and watch the magic and you must have a copy of the zip on your pc or laptop meaning the Rom you made nand back up of

Best to ask that in the One X forum IMO as they can comment on the custom ROM's better of course.
I'd say depends if you're happy with the stock ROM. If you are and don't need the root features then leave it.
Otherwise go for it.

Its always worth the root...I've tested the one x on the stock rom and it ran buttery smooth....I believe it can only get better with a custom rom.

Hi All,
I bought a HTC Desire C phone for 100 and sounded like a good deal but when I rebooted the device it displayed a message:
"This build if for development purposes only and should not be distributed outside HTC ...."
Also when trying to restart, it gives four options:
Normal
Hot restart
bootloader
Recovery
Also when booting, it displays HTC One tm ....
years ago I used to work for Motorola and worked on devices like MPx, MPx220 and Moto Q, back then our test
unit displayed similar messages but the device use to lose any user data including contact list, settings ets
this one doesn't - the seller claimed that this started happening after he "unlocked' the device from the HTC's website.
Motorola's test units use to mention that its "test" unit next to IMEI number, this one doesn't and infact the sticker
looks just like my HTC Raider (nice and clean)
So my question to the gurus is, how do I suppress the "development" message and how do I make the restart option simple
Do I need to reset it somehow? etc
thanks in advance
Z
You could always find a RUU for the Desire C and flash it. then everything should go back to stock.
He was correct, it shows that message after using the bootloader unlock method on HTCDEV, flash an RUU as stated above. Go to settings>about>software information and it should tell you if your using a custom Rom.

Your phone is running the Nameless custom Rom which is fine, and on the matter of the RUU it depends where you are and what carrier your on, also it depends if you have NFC, if you want to flash a stock Rom for NFC or non-NFC let me know

Hey guys, can anyone help with this situation?
My housemate got a sensation off eBay and it was working fine, he got an OTA notification and accepted it and it downloaded. Half way through the OTA he pulled the SD card out for some unexplainable reason.
After that it wouldn't go past the HTC splash screen and didn't even show the quietly brilliant part, just HTC over a white background.
The steps I have taken so far are:
Unlock BL
flash twrp
Wipe everything
Flash venom ROM (or whatever its called)
Then reboot.
Now we are still stuck on the same white splash screen.
I'm at a loss here as all my experience with android phones is with nexus devices (nexus s, gnex and N7) and a galaxy s3.
These are all pretty easy to fix if something stupid happens, in the case of the nexuses just fastboot flash factory image or the galaxy s3 can flash with Odin and then order is restored and all is well in the universe.
Is there such a magical tool available for the sensation or any other way to revive it?
TIA.
Nodstuff.

The Update is rolling out! :laugh:
In Serbia & Croatia and other countries, for free k2ul.
You can follow the happening from here.
Usually HTC is updating free k2ul (with LTE) first. If all is fine, free k2u are next, together or followed by provider k2ul.
After that, cricket & boost get the update.
At least they did this way for the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update.
Pictures: Look at this post
==================================================
You need to get back stock, if you are rooted and have custom recovery/rom:
S-On, you have to S-off your device and do the S-off guide
S-Off you can do from the beginning like told here.

I hope (and believe) of course this will come, but its not confirmed officially.
And i don't think it will come before august/september. All before would be a real suprise cause even the update for HTC One isn't released officially. Then will follow OneX, OneX+...
But there are rumors that One S maybe don't get it (technical issues). That would be heavy for them.
Other news say, we get Android 4.2.2 without Sense 5:
HTC One X, One X+, Evo 4G LTE and Others Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 Upgrade
HTC Upgrade List, Who’s Getting Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5?
Here's a video about Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5. Its from HTC One, but features are almost the same (except some things like Zoe or so):
So let's start here a discussion thread about the update to Android 4.2.2 & Sense 5.

They will probably get it eventually via dev / mod roms, have you tried that CM10 rom for the boost one sv over on android forums ? I was thinking about trying the rom only on my phone, I know the kernel wont work as its for boost.

For sure. But it states the end of official lifetime.
Here in germany people always say "don't buy the One SV, buy the One S, cause the SV will get no updates". That news was a little bit funny for me :angel:

Football is continue claiming that there will be an update.
A german "insider" is sure there will be nothing.
To make it clear: atm we don't know anything for sure!
But related to One S: it was canceled because of their different processors. Qualcomm does no longer support the S3 version. And before they only update the S4 and user are asking "why does he get an update and i not, we have both One S", the have canceled.
But this problem don't exist on our phone!
So let's hope and keep fingers crossed.
There's article on gottabemobile: "HTC One SV Android 4.2 Update Pegged for “Near Future”"

Most people go with the flagship phones or the cheaper (Desire X). Most time people complain about resolution, but when you used to 800x480 (like you and i from Desire S times) its not a problem i think.
But all in all i would say the most devs are working on the flagships.
It is clear that our model is not very popular. If by the end of summer does not release update, then it is likely that 4.2.2 will not.

And as i have heard, the HTC One mini will also have the same processor and 1 GB Ram. So also not a big alternative/difference in 4,3" phones. Better screen, but no sd card, so i'm staying with lovable One SV.
But lets come back on topic, please!
The One SV stands in between the One V and One S in terms of specs(hence it's name),and if the One S isnt getting an update,there is a high chance that the One SV won't get one
But we cannot miss the fact that it was launched after the One S so there is some hope for this device

all i find is for HTC one X and HTC one XL, but not for the HTC one X+...
even though I consider myself to know not so a lot about computers and software, android ROMs are one of those things i know nothing about, so I have tried some roms and i haven't found one to work well on my phone, so i know it may be bothersome, but we need information on how to setup and how to do things and not brake the phone...

It's not the same problem, since it's not the same phone, or even the right device forum section.
I wasn't all that familiar with the X+, and for that matter I don't even remember all that much about the phone I actually owned (One X) since it's been 3+ years since I even powered it on. But I do recall the X+ was kind of an oddball "between flagships" device and not much of a community not development. So your ROM choices, and other resources are limited.
