Not trying to downgrade, I've done that already, currently on 1.09. Trying to rid myself of T-Mobile US firmware, tired of the signal drops that sometimes require reboot to reaquire. Didn't have that symptom while I was on HBOOT 1.14.0002

You can flash roms but you have to flash boot.img separately either with fastboot while in bootloader or with app called flash image GUI just befor you flash Rom. You can also change radio using Temporary radio instaler. The only problem for you could be the WiFi not working on sertain roms. But that does not happen to everybody.

Wait so all I have to do is that flash boot boot.IMG process before I flash a Rom. And do I use the app while on my stock Rom . And when do I use boot.IMG processes
Sorry I just did a little research and answered my own question. Oh and is temporary radio installer an app or what
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Yes look for Flash Image GUI App. You can flash boot.img before rebooting to recovery. Just open app, browse for your Rom, select it, wait until the app extract the boot.img, select flash boot.img, wait, the you'll get a toast message succesfull, then press reboot recovery, wipe everything a few times, flash Rom, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, reboot system.
The temporary radio installer its a zip, you can flash it in custom recovery if you need to change radio.
I also recommend to get a wiping script from ..Awesome.. ( its in devepomnent forum as well) its a zip file, flash from recovery, it will "full wipe your phone" .
I find it better then wiping in twrp recovery.
Good luck.

No need for the script. You only need to factory reset and wipe system in TWRP which formats it and not delete it.
Yes, no need, but wiping in twrp did not work for me sometime so if I change roms, I run script as well. If twrp would work 100% no need to do it 2 - 3 times isn't?

TWRP has always worked for me and had no issues but ya wiping more then once is even more of wasted time.

TWRP has always worked for me as well. CWM has also always worked for me (on my other devices).
The only thing I wipe more than once is cache and dalvik-cache (before and after rom installation, a total of 2 times wasting ~5sec or so), and I've never had any issue, on ANY of my devices (I have access to an Xperia P in addition to the ones listed in my sign., and Ive helped a couple of friends with flashing/rooting/etc as well)
I have been searching ALL day and can't find it I have hboot 1.14 on my new replacement One S, and I desperately need to update the radio. My room is an absolute dungeon with service, but my wife's T989 works great, so it's my stupid phone not Tmobile.

If you're S-Off, you can flash radios on any hboot. If you want to change your hboot anyway, you can extract an image from a RUU or OTA and dd it into mmcblk0p12. (Be careful with that.)

Hi
I'm in some sort of a probleme here...
I flash CM10 for the Ville by xkonni & intervigil everything went good ... Than I tried to go back to my nandroid backup that I did before but them the phone would be stuck a the htc one s and beats logo. I somehow manage to get almost everyting to work but , even with the bootloader re-lock and the original rom and file from my nandroid I cant restore everything using the RUU from my phone ( Rogers/fido ) . The thing is, if I look in the log from the RUU install it says : remote: 44 hboot version check fail
Any clue how to restore the original HBOOT ?

That does not change the HBOOT I look at that solution
I don't think you can do anything to the hboot w/o s-off
hboot and boot.img not the same
So, I doubt CM10 would have messed with it
But, it is very experimental--I have been doing this a long time and wouldn't touch CM10 yet--you are braver than me--
Did you wipe ALL including System 2 to 3x before trying nandroid--System would have to be wiped in this case or issues highly likely

Is there a technical explanation for the reasons multiple wipes will accomplish more than a single wipe?
In normal cases only official stock HTC RUU's will change your hboot/bootloader. So flash the appropriate RUU with the hboot you had before, first. If you was on software base 1.78 for example, flash the 1.78 RUU and you will have the right hboot.

This is the log from the RUU.
<T212848><DEBUG><OUT>INFOchecking hboot version...</OUT>
</DEBUG></T212848>
<T212848><DEBUG><OUT>FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)</OUT>
</DEBUG></T212848>
The orignal Hboot from my provider is 1.08 ( And RUU)
but I check in the rom that I use to flash CM 10 and I cant see any trace of a new HBOOT
so... Where did I get hupdated from 1.08 to 1.13 ?
Because as far as system partition is concerned the wipe does not totally get rid of all files and some stuff can be left behind. Also, installing the new Rom may not overwrite all of the partition. It can cause issues with the new Rom running well. With my N1 even some devs recommended 3 to 4 wipes. System wipe is recommended if going to different Rom or changing basebands. Definitely with coming from CM to Sense.
wiping or formatting a partition multiple times and getting any benefit from that sounds like urban legend
I've seen it recommended by numerous people but there's not any reason to think wiping a partition two times or three times is going to be more effective than one time.
Although if there's a technical explanation I'll hear it out...but stating that formatting a partition one time simply doesn't get it all gone or someone heard it from somewhere else doesn't suffice as enough evidence for me.
Hi guys, been reading through the threads. Fixing to try flashing this rom soon. Have a couple of quick questions tho.
My phone is bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, and rooted. Will flashing this rom change any of that? From the looks of that thread it seems the answer is no, but just wanted to confirm.
Also, I see that this rom does not come with a radio. Should I download just the radio, or do I need the radio + RIL?
Am I fine with the HBOOT that came with 2.20?
And as far as installing...boot into recovery, wipe dalvik, factory reset, and then flash the zip?
Oh...and this is for a AT&T HTC One X
You're fine. Just flash it. You can flash the radio if you like. The RIL is in the rom.
Well the biggest thing bothering me is the HBOOT. It's from the AT&T 2.20 Ice cream sandwich update. I for sure won't have any problems with that? Oh, also...like I said I am bootloader unlocked, but as far as I know I'm not S-OFF. Is that ok?

Should be fine, you just need to flash the boot image manually using a computer. After you get everything up and running I'd s-off and then flash the 1.09 hboot from here for convenience sake.

Correct. If you are stock rooted, it's a good idea to do a backup in twrp just in case.
Also twrp 2.3.3 is suggested as 2.4 seems to have issues wiping.

I would only flash radios if you notice low signal strength or battery drain from radio usage.
If you check the radio thread it tells you if you need RIL's or not

I believe that's HBOOT 1.14? You would need to S-OFF or downgrade to 1.09 using the JET Tool to flash radios but you may not even need to flash radios, it's your call.

I would wipe system too or flash the wipe tool, then flash the zip. Then fastboot flash the boot.img (You can flash it before the rom too, either works) from the rom if you are indeed on hboot 1.14 which I am pretty sure you are.
.
Thanks for all the help guys. It appears I was over worried. After spending the day reading threads and getting an idea of what I needed to do and in what order to do it I finally decided to just do it. I pulled the boot.img from the rom and flashed it with fastboot. Then flashed the rom with twrp (yes I had 2.3) and did a backup before all that. Let the rom boot and then rebooted to bootloader and fastboot installed the new radio. Everything is up and running great. Will look into S-OFF and downgrading my HBOOT later. Thanks for all the help!

Hi everyone,
I don't quite have 10 posts yet, so I can't post in the UrDroid thread.
I had UrDroid 1.8, and it worked just fine, had some wifi issues (sometimes after turning the wifi off, it wouldn't turn on again unless I rebooted), so I upgraded to 1.9
Now I have a few issues:
It stays "connected" to a wifi network even after losing connection
Occasionally, after rebooting, my Beautiful Widgets go away and my default keyboard reverts to the stock keyboard (from swype)
occasionally I cannot turn the wifi back on after turning it off without a reboot
That's about it. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks! :good:
Could be just bugs in the software. Recommend trying different ROMs
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I really wish I could try other roms, for some reason UrDroid is the only one that actually works, I have no idea why this is!
For instance, when flashing any verison of CM, after flashing and rebooting, it stays stuck on the loading screen, and doesn't go further, even after waiting a half an hour. AOKP and the others basically brick my phone. I think it has something to do with the UrDroid using Aroma Installer that seems to work well with my phone and twrp. I'm a bit of a n00b, so don't know for sure.
Was hoping someone else had these issues and could tell me how they fixed them.

Because of your hboot version you need to flash the boot.img seperately. It is possible that you are doing this but still encountering bootloops and the reason for that would be Hboot compatibility. I have noticed that some ROMs just do not play nice with certain hboots. The most compatible hboot that I've seen is 2.14 which seems to be the same accross all carrier phones.
That being said, my suggestion to you is to S-OFF if you aren't already, then, while keeping your bootloader unlocked, RUU up to 3.18 or 3.17 or whatever is the latest for your carrier which will update your hboot to 2.14 and then downgrade your touchscreen firmware which is super easy and there's a sticky for the process in the Original Android Development section.
After that, you should be able to run all roms without much issue AND you won't have to fastboot flash boot boot.img anymore.
That explains it- I literally have just been going into TWRP, installing the zip file, and then rebooting. I'm not even sure where I would find the boot.img, would that be inside the zip file?
So to S-OFF, should I follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
I'm not sure how to RUU, any chance you or someone might have a link on instructions to do that? (I have an AT&T phone that I use on Straight Talk)
Thanks for your help, and if I'm asking for too much information, I'll keep doing some reasearch. I think the RUU is what kind of puzzles me (I'm clearly pretty green when it comes to rooting, I've only ever done it on this phone, not very successfully!

Yes it's in the zip. You extract it then fastboot flash boot boot.Img right before or after flashing the rom in recovery. Before flashing the rom and boot.img you should wipe cache, dalvik, system and factory reset. And only ever flash roms for the one xl or you risk bricking.

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.

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.

My One S is one of the ones that got ruined by MaximusROM 10.
I've been able to get it back up and running with the latest RUU, but have some severe radio problems. Dropped signal in good areas, reported strong signal but no data transfer, complete connection drop and reconnect, calls not coming through occasionally, texts only working sporadically.
Is there any way to completely wipe and reflash the radio more than the RUU itself does? My phone is nearly useless when not on wifi now.
If you previously installed a radio that altered your rcdata partition then you will need to clear that up.
Previous RUUs going all the way back to ICS don't fix it.
You didn't expand more on your phone's settings but if you're forced to be S-ON and S-OFF constantly bootloops then you're probably having an rcdata problem.
Flash this partition back into your phone.

If you're on the latest RUU with S-OFF and experiencing bootloop you can repeat my steps here:

You're describing my symptoms perfectly, S-OFF bootloops with anything, S-ON is required.
I'll be giving this a shot RIGHT FREAKING NOW. It's the first hope I've had of getting this thing working properly, thanks.
DD'd the partition over, reflashed stock recovery so I could run the OTA update, and it looks like everything's working.
Not as fast as I'd like but that's just the area I'm in atm. Ping times are at least reasonable, and I can MMS pictures again.
THANK YOU.
I'm having the same issues. How do I flash that partition?

You need to get the file onto your sdcard partition. You can probably do this while S-ON on a working RUU but I haven't tried yet. If you're S-OFF you can follow what I did to get the sdcard mounted and adb working.
Then using adb:
"adb shell"
$ "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"
The commands in the quote of course.
Could you tell me what you mean by latest RUU? Are you referring to the tmobile RUU or the EU RUU?

Well, the problem is partially fixed.
I can at least run non-stock ROMs now, and the radio (when it works) is better.
It's still incredibly unstable though. Gonna S-OFF and try updating the radio.
i've also been having few problems since i installed maximusHD 10... i'm trying anything to get it back to work... i lost 3g/4g/hspa/...
now my internet runs only on EDGE/GSM and i know that there is 4g/hspa available in the area where i am
Crap, that didn't fix it. In fact it's back where we were before I got the phone semi-working anyway.
Bootloop central.
Worried I'll never quite get it back :/
E: This was after S-OFFing it. I S-ON'd and RUU/restored backup.
The fix works by flashing the rcdata partition and re flashing firmware.zip

What hboot you have when flash rcdata partition? You flash over stock RUU or MaximusHD

i had 2.15. You can use any software maximus, cm10.1/2.. (not in recovery) that lets you adb shell.
once you flash the rcdata (mmcblckp20) flash the firmware.zip in this thread. You should have radio 1.11 and hboot 2.15 after flashing. Then erase internal storage and install new rom should work now
