any sugestion ow to make start what file i need what thing 1st to do...
things to xda and to the person will guide me here
If you want to learn about installing roms read "Beginners GUIDE:Rooting a HTC Dream(T-Mobile G1) and Installing CYANOGENMOD 6 (FROYO)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727688
As you already have an old Cyanogen rom, your phone is already rooted, so you can skip the 1st part of the guide (you may want to read it anyway for a better understanding of what was already done on your device).
Once you select the rom you want to flash, you can post your questions on installing that rom in that rom's thread.
Happy flashing!

Dear professionals,
I'm having a problem and I really need your help.
I have bought the "HTC Desire S" off ebay and it came out to be Orange locked, I have unlocked it successfully however it still has Orange ROM and all the useless Orange apps, can someone please tell me how to remove it and install a regular official ROM as they r very annoying and the ROM has no updates..
I appreciate your help
thank you very much in advance

take it easy, u might hurt ur self
ok its not quite in the right place, but no need to bite his head off.
anyway, in answer to your question, the way i removed the branding from my vodafone DS was this
http://revolutionary.io/ download this tool and follow its instructions, this will root your phone and give you a recovery tool that will allow you to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
With the phone rooted, you will be able to back up your data using an app from the market. Titanium Backup is the usual favorite.
EDIT : may be wrong about it providing root, I personally skipped the backup step as I had no data to lose, but if that is the case there are guides in the forums for obtaining root access
next look through this forum to find a ROM that suits your needs, from the sound of things you want the stock one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029 should suit you.
download the zip file and transfer it to your SD card.
next you need to reboot into your recovery mode by turning the phone off, then hold the vol down button and power button together and selecting recovery from the menu
finally use the volume buttons to select install zip from SD card, and point it at your downloaded rom. it may take a few mins so allow it to finish then select reboot phone.
again this first boot may take a little time, but once its up you should have a debranded ROM as if you had just bought the phone new.
Add the details for your google account and redownload your backup app so you can restore your data and you are good to go
thank you very much for your help,
I shall give it a try,
by the way, will be able to install official updates on it, or will I have to stick with custom ROMs for ever?
thanks again

Nooo, not forever. Just until you get a new device
But seriously: Custom roms don't work with official updates. The trick is that most of the custom rom developers provide their own flashable updates for their roms. The difference is in the way you perform the update. There are even fairly developed custom roms, like MIUI, which have their own over-the-air updates (actually more often than official updates are coming.)
EDIT: In fact, you can switch back to a stock rom anytime and get the official updates back.

OK, I understand... but how do I get the official stock rom?, and by stock that means it has no Orange apps at all right ?

Once unlocked, i.e. rooted, you can use titanium backup or a root file explorer to uninstall the apps you don't need from the rom you are running atm.

Well, again: read around the forum a little, please. There is a sticky thread right on the top of the development section, called ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT etc. It's a must read for newcomers. Very useful thread. There you find a link to a collection of stock roms. These are distributed as .exe files, so you can run them in windows and a simple-to-use installer will pop up and help you with pushing the stock rom to your phone. It is advisable that you double check that you are flashing the rom you really want. Someone here will help you to choose the right one.
EDIT: By the way in the general section (where we are now with this thread) there is also a very useful sticky. It's called Guide for Newcomers to Android. Seriously, it's a good read, given that you own an Android phone...

OK man, I will do that, thanks for the tips
Thanks chris5s, Ill definitely give it a shot.
This tool would help to get rid of the annoying Orange splash screen, and other useless apps could be removed as stated before.
Of course, best way is to install generic HTC European rom or custom rom of your choice.
Aforementioned tool would also help install roms, radios, etc, of your choice.
Good luck
Peace
Edit: sorry, Android flasher won't help install roms, but will help with installing custom recovery - Ext4 or Clockwork Mod - essential in s-off/rooted flashing.
Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs or silly questions is tolerated here!

Why wouldn't you SuperCID?
I put a question in the firmware/partition thread yesterday, still no answer so I'll kick off by asking it again.
I see a lot of people getting trouble with their CID when installing firmware, and the firmware package is constantly updated with new CID's, however it seems prudent to become SuperCID anyway.
Is there a reason for not wanting SuperCID? From my understanding it's just a "label" in the phone, so it doesn't affect signal strength / how good your radio works etc. So it seems weird to want to avoid SuperCID. Am I right?
The only reason I can think of is in case of warranty returns or so. But why are so many (with a working device) trying to install firmware with their original CID then?
I hope someone understands my question.

Yes you are right, If you want to go back to S-on sometime (which you'll only want in case of warranty returns), you'll need official firmware/hboot. However, S-on is a dangerous process, people have bricked their devices doing it.
The official firmware from that thread can be used for other purposes as well (If you're phone works better, you can switch to stock ROM/firmware and leave it S-off), but if you're not having troubles, I see no need to do that.
Also, you can make a NANDroid backup of your phone after you have rooted/S-off/CWM, so switching to Stock ROM won't be a problem.
For now, I wholeheartedly recommend Custom ROMs with the appropriate firmware.

S-on goes wrong if you do it on rooted phone only by the looks of it. Although, any of this nodding businessis potentially dangerous, all you can do is to learn as much as you can to minimise possibility of a brick.

From here:

And usually if you use an earlier RUU it will prompt you eventually for an OTA that will get up back to where you belong.

Do you mean can you replace the launcher with something that is different/more compact?
You can always try a different desktop launcher like Go Launcher or ADW but you will lose your ability to use Sense widgets. I don't know of anyone that has modified Sense Launcher to allow folders.
I don't want other launchers - sense stock is good, but I need something other for all programs menu - actually i've found AppFolders.
I just want to remap action on left button to app folder, for example. Is it possible in sense?

Cyanogen updates are like Fight Club.
Rule number 1. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
Rule number 2. You don't talk about Cyanogen updates.
That aside.....CM9 is being worked on. That's the only update there is. It'll get here when it gets here. (And yeah...I'm drooling with anticipation too and it drives me bonkers that I have no idea when we'll get to see it But that's the way Cyanogen rolls.)
Hello,
First of all, thanks for this great forum, i'm new to android and being here is really helpful.
I've read some of the guides posted, still i'd like to have some tips and infos.
I'm from Italy and my Desire S is still working on Gingerbread (!). I would like to update the firmware, if not to Jelly Bean (since the custom one is still beta, but advise me here), at least to ICS, but i don't know the routine to follow (ROOT, then Flash one of the custom ROMS? Being in S-Off mode is needed i guess). Another thing i don't get is flashing radios..
Help would be really appreciated, THANKS.
There is nothing to tell you that you can't find by reading the stickies and understanding what to do.

If you haven't messed with your phone, i.e. rooted it, flashed any fancy thirty party rom, etc, and the phone is running official HTC ROM and in the exact same state as you bought it, I'd suggest OTA and upgrade to official ICS since you are new to android. Go to setting - about phone then update from there.
If you'd like to try other ROMs then there's plenty guide in this forum already.
Imo official 4.0.4 is a bad idea.
1) It has bugs
2) hboot 2.02 cannot be downgraded without htcdev

My Desire S is new and "untouched". For what i had got, the official htc release is to be installed manually and has some issues, so I had thought a custom and more recent ROM would have been better.

Then use revolutionary (S-OFF) not unlock via htcdev.com, 4ext recovery and you are good to go
If you are on Sense 3 you will have to downgrade in order to use Revolutionary.io
And of course I concider the ROM in my signature as the best to date

If you are going custom better not use OTA
Revolutionary will install custom recovery so the next thing will be a backup of your stock ROM and installing the Rom.zip from the sdcard via the recovery. No rooting, because all custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
My ROM is ICS, there is no complete stable JB yet but once you have s-off you can try them all within minutes. And do not forget to sync/backup your data (contacts, etc) to Google or with some app from the Play Store. And read some guides before starting anything. I am just giving you directions not a tutorial

So why do you "root"? Just to unlock the phone without touching the FW?
Going custom i guess it's the only way, because htc is not going to update anymore, so better learn how to.
Anyway THANKS A LOT, it's more clear now

Yes you can root your current software (the stock one) if you need just root for an app or something specific without changing the software.
But going custom means to run Android and Sense version which you will never have officially. And they all come pre-rooted

They have different versions, because they are ported from different devices and there are difference between them. Not only visual but also performance.

The best app for applications and data backup is titanium backup. It also allows you to make a flashable update zip you can flash after installing a new rom

Ok, and for saving an image of my stock ROM, just in case i need to go back?
Nandroid backup is a part of the recovery and not an app.

To the answering guys, (almost) off-topic:
I have a riddle for you, or actually, a somewhat sad observation to share and see your opinions. Since this thread is one of the examples for what I'm going to talk about, and it's useless anyway, I won't feel any remorse diverting it.
I've seen several threads during the last couple of weeks where a random noob got the best out of one of the knowledgeable members of the community - in this and other forums - and they helped him instead of sending him to read stuff that he was supposed to be reading to know the answer.
In absolutely all of those threads, noob questions continued and deteriorated to the most basic ones. There wasn't even one thread where the noob wouldn't continue with flood of basic FAQ-sort of questions.
I've wrote in a couple of them more or less what I wrote here - an unpleasant message to stop the flood of baby questions.
All of the noobs were offended.
All of the noobs actually searched and found their answer after that message, and stopped the flood (with a message that here, they were so great they actually found everything themselves).
It's kinda sad, don't you think? Quite a few times bad treatment seems the most efficient way to achieve the best results... Guess there's no miraculous other way I'm missing, or maybe there is?

Hi The name is Devon. I am a complete nub wanting to know more about android and yay first post! lol
I am posting a thread to ask is there a difference between the officially branded htc one x and the carrier version (e.g AT&T) htc one x ?
Are there difference in the stock roms (based on carrier) and also what are the requirements to install/upgrade from a stock rooted rom 4.0.4 to jelly bean 4.2.2 ? To flash a newer rom, must the hboot be upgraded ?
My device is an unlocked AT&T HTC One X with superCID and S-Off running rooted stock rom 4.0.4 (Ice cream sandwich) with TWRP custom recovery. I live in Barbados and my current service provider is LIME. I wish for some response asap as I would like to install one of the jelly bean roms, either 4.2 or 4.3. I would like to know as much as possible. Thank you and have a good day
My thanks to you kindly,
Devon or NZXTBourne
Big difference. Stay in the forum for your model.
Start of in the CM10 thread and follow the steps.
Each step will require you to search the forums to understand what they're asking you to do.
As you search you will find the best thread in which to ask specific questions.
Good luck!

The two phones look very similar but on the inside they're completely different. This means nothing from the HTC One X (Endeavoru) forum is compatible with your phone, and will likely brick it. Basically make sure you stay in our forum which is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Bookmark that page and make sure you stay within it, and make sure you only download ROMs/kernels/radios/mods from the two development sections within it.
In order to flash the ROMs you mentioned you probably need to update your firmware. To confirm this I need to see your bootloader details, post the first five lines please.

The screen isn't the issue, the older ts firmware is compatible with newer ROMs. It's the other way round that's a problem. Plus, if he's stock rooted there's no reason his screen wouldn't work anyway. It's actually the firmware modules contained in the RUU that are important.

This is actually incorrect, at least in light of what aaron.a is asking. Thing is, the term "firmware" is confusing. He actually seems to be asking about all the modules aside from the actual ROM that get installed with an official RUU or OTA, which include hboot, media modules, touchscreen firmware, radio, etc. What you are giving instruction to check is simply the ROM or OS version, which is actually independent from the other firmware modules (particularly if you have been modding the phone.

Back to your original post, the absolute best thing you can do as a n00b is READ READ READ (and did I mention read?).
Especially since it seems that you bought the device used, and bootloader unlocked, and s-off, its extremely important that you have good understanding of what those things mean before attempting any type of modification. In particular, s-off means all security checks are off, meaning that flashing the wrong file can brick your device as the safety checks that would for instance normally prevent you from flashing a potentially fatal (to your device) file (such as a ROM for another device) are now being completely bypassed.
So just do yourself a big favor and take a few hours to read, research, and gain a good understanding of the lingo, concepts, and steps before trying any type of mod on your phone.
Start with my Index threads, and also the very useful threads maintained by timmaaa:

I just do what I'm told in the cm threads since most roms rely on cm dev, so if its not specifically detailed in our cm thread.. lazy (or just good at conserving energy)
My touchscreen doesn't work on cm10 so I assumed he hadn't ruu'd.

Must my bootloader be relocked in order to use the RUU ?
No, because you're s-off you don't need to relock, just run the RUU. Your unlocked bootloader and s-off status will survive the process so after it's done you just need to flash TWRP recovery again and then you can flash your ROM.

Don't worry about the kernel, just flash the firmware. You'll find the firmware is on the first page of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45122768
That aokp ROM dev doesn't look familiar to me, don't flash it. A quick word of advice: don't go searching all over the web for ROMs, other sites don't properly distinguish between our phone and the HTC One X (Endeavoru). They're two completely different phones and flashing the wrong ROM can brick a device. The only place you ever need to be is XDA. Our device main page is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Bookmark that page and stay within it. You'll see two development sections there, Android Development (mostly Sense ROMs) and Original Android Development (aosp ROMs). Every compatible ROM for our device can be found in either of those two sections.
Is there any particular reason you were looking at a 4.2 ROM? That's pretty old now in the world of Android seeing as we're up to 4.4 KitKat now.
I have some detailed instructions on basic flashing operations in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, the link is in my signature. If you decide that you want to flash a KitKat ROM you will need to install a different recovery. The one you're looking for is the unofficial modified TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001 which can be found in the first couple of pages of our Original Android Development section. It's a very easy thing to do, just check out my guide thread.
