Hello,
A friend of mine asked me to root his phone. He has an HTC One S (S4). I unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, flashed TWRP recovery and installed CM10.
I installed CM10 by flashing it in the recovery and then I flashed the boot.img using fastboot. After that I also flashed Gapps.
Btw the phone has hboot 1.06.
The first day everything went fine but then his phone suddenly started vibrating and went back to the homescreen for no reason. When he tried to open another app it just went to the homescreen, started vibrating again and it opened the app switcher. After a reboot it worked well for about a minute but then it crashed again.
Anybody got any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance,
Maxim
What CM10 ROM did you flash exactly? Something may have been screwed up in that one build.

I used the stable version, 10.0.0. So I don't think that that is the problem.
AW: [Q] problems with CM10
Maybe redownloading the Rom and do a clean flash again.
After installing clean dalvik cache again.

Maybe you can try the new nightly version. The stable version still have some bugs.

I have always liked making changes to my phone and after seeing the latest ICS released I thought why not... as we were being told it was backwards compatible
So I updated my firmware and played about in ICS for a bit but then decided it's not ready for me yet and I rolled back to my backup of HyperSensation
When it finished restoring I was greeted by the white HTC screen and that's all, it will now no longer boot my backup... "I have restored from this backup many times"
I then downloaded Android Revolution 3.6.11 and installed and it booted ok but I always have a problem with the kernel so flushed bricked as I always do and it stopped booting again with the HTC screen, I then re-flashed faux123 kernel on it again, and again it would not boot... stuck at the HTC screen
The firmware update seems to have messed up the ability to change kernels at all.. or roll back to an old backup, but new installs worked ok as long as i didn't change the kernel..
I then restored the H3G Ruu exe to my phone and that loaded ok and booted fine, I then tried to restore my backup that uses bricked 1.6 kernel and this time it booted
I then tried to re-flash the kernel and again I'm greeted by the HTC screen and it never loads
This firmware update has changed my phone and not for the good... even restoring the Ruu didn't fix it completely...
Anyone else have a similar problem with the new firmware

The partition layout for the 3.12.401.2/102 firmware is different, as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Indeed, but then restoring to an older Ruu should remove the changes right?
As the Ruu has the firmware in the update?

That's the problem as the changes seem to stay even after I returned it to the stock Ruu

Yep I'm thinking the same thing too
Hboot 1.17.0011
radio 10.43a.9007.00p_10.51.9007.27.m3
but all I know now is I'm unable to change kernels anymore or even reflash the same kernel over the top of itself..
What's your recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
I can see no reason why your kernel updates are failing. Check your downloads to have the correct md5 and if you still have issues try an alternate recovery(which I highly doubt to be a problem but anyway). Also check that you are downloading kernels compatible with your Rom, otherwise they won't work. Another tip when flashing kernels is to wipe cache after flashing. Good luck

After installing a stock RUU you need to install Superuser to root the stock ROM, and update the binary and busybox. Then you can flash kernels.

I had a similar problem with mine;I restored GB 2.3.5 backup, reflashed original ROM on top, and booted up fine. After it booted just fine I did a reboot and it wouldn't go past the first HTC screen. So, I flashed my 1.45 firmware (inc. hboot 1.18 & Clockwork 5.0.2) and still stuck at the same spot.
Finally, I flashed back the firmware from ICS 3.12, reflashed my 2.3.5 ROM, wiped cache & dalvic, fixed permissions, and rebooted... Strange enough, I booted to the setup screen, which I went through that to find my data gone. SO, I super-wiped and restored my backup, which booted & rebooted fine, and proceeded to reflash the original ROM again. Now I'm good.
Observation(s):
1. Reverting to Firmware to 1.45 causes bootloops that can only be broken by restoring ICS Firmware 3.12.
2. Even after reverting (1.) device will not be stable until you super-wipe. From there on, you can restore backups and flash a ROM as usual.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
no problems with the new firmware and old miui here in the moment

Hi, this is my first post ever on XDA so sorry if im doing it wrong or if its in the wrong spot . anyways i am running stock and am on rooted & unlocked vzw gs3 . I downloaded and installed Scotty's Clean Rom 2.5 which was released just last week. I wiped/factory reset/ formatted everything and the rom seems to install fine, but then when i reboot it stays on the sgs3 boot screen forever? I dont know why it is not working.

I had the same problem with 2.1 and 2.5 on my phone. For some reason, the flash does not work on my phone the first time. both times I had to pull the battery when I got stuck on the boot screen then boot into recovery, re-wipe, fix permissions and reinstall. It always worked for me on the second try.
Good luck.

This happened to me once. Try to re-root the phone again then flash it.
Did you do a dalvick cache wipe too? Also were you flashing a kernel with 2.5? Are you coming from stock or a custom rom too? And if you are coming from a custom rom does it use a custom kernel? You should also check the md5 of the rom and verify it didnt get corrupt on download/transfer.

Yes i wiped the dalvick, fixed permissions, formatted just about everything and factory reset, when that did not work I formatted and wiped everything before and after the flash. still no luck. I was not flashing a kernel, (to be honest im not even sure how to do that) and im coming from a stock rooted rom that i got when i first rooted with odin. I checked the md5 and everything matched up too.
How!?

How do you re root? would i have to use odin to flash the rooted rom again?
The process of how you flashed sounds right.
When you say it's stuck forever, how much time did you give the phone to reboot. Sometimes with a new rom, it may take 5 min or longer for reboot to finish. If you haven't already, just walk away for 5-10 min before checking it.

Clean rom wouldn't install for me on my phone... Weird stuff happened on the screen during boot animation and then would vibrate like crazy and go into boot loop... I came to realize that it was the kernel and I flashed lean kernel and it worked perfectly... I think these roms act differently on everyone's phones and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to why things work for some people and not others... Just my. 02 cents

Hey guys!
I just unlocked and rooted my HTC one s today and wanted to install a custom rom.
I've tried so many roms but none of them boot up.
CM10 booted up once but the keyboard kept crashing so I tried installing other ones like viper and cm10.1 and trickdroid but none booted. then I tried to install CM10 again and that wouldn't boot either
What am I doing wrong?

You flashing the wrong roms make sure you flashing a S3 rom.
After you flash the ROM from recovery, you must flash also proper boot.img for your new ROM. Normally you can find boot.omg inside of ROM archive.
Good luck!

Okay so Im trying to install miui v5 but im having isuues getting it to boot...again. ok so when v4 3.2.22 first came out I couldnt get it to boot. I would install the rom, then gapps and could not get it to boot past the optimizing apps screen. it would just stay at starting apps. I was told by another user to flash rohans kernel version b5 as that has worked for him on a different rom, and it worked for me. Now trying to install V5 its been a nightmare. when just installing the rom, then gapps I could not get it to boot past the splash screen. it would load it for a second then just go to a black screen. I then tried installing rohans kernel version b5 but now I get stuck at the starting apps screen I tried wiping cache and dalvik and that did nothing. tried installing different kernels and most I tried wouldnt let me get past the boot animaion Im using twrp 2.3.1.0, Im s-off and I even tried lowering my hboot from 1.14 to 1.09 just incase that might be it but nope. im no sure what else to do and help would be greatly appreciated

Wipe everything. Install your rom only. Does it boot?

no. It loads the splash screen for a second then goes to a black screen.
You've verified the md5 right?
Boot to bootloader/fastboot and do fastboot erase cache in command prompt then wipe everything cache, dalvik, system, factory reset, then flash rom.
Does it boot?

redownloaded 3 times. erased cache. wiped everything and same problem as before loads splash screen then back screen
Redownloading != checking md5 you could Redownload 500 times and all 500 downloads could have corruption of some sort.
You did fastboot erase cache?
If you're positive your download is good and after fastboot erase cache and wiping everything isn't working. Your last step is to s-off if you're not already and ruu to the latest version then flash twrp then wipe everything then flash the rom.

Just making sure since I have only researched slightly, since im s-off If i run the latest unrootable RUU Id still be able to unlock bootloader and regain root?
What other roms have you tried to flash? Is Mui the only ones giving you problems? Try other ones to see if it is not a bad twrp. It may not be wiping correctly.

I had the same problem with Chameleon. Took four different downloads to get it. Avatar took a few too lol. Take above advice. Check sum. Might even try wiping cache in adb.

Search MD5 Sum Checker. It's a program that is pretty self explanatory and will check it for you. The MD5 is attached to the download. You copy it from the site and past it in the checker.
And after you s-off you don't need to re lock to ruu so you won't lose bootloader unlock

Running the 3.18 RUU fixed my problems. Thank you both for the help
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I bought a used htc sensation (TMOUS) from ebay and immediately rooted and s-off'd (using the stickied toolkit, and revolutionary.io respectively). I then updated my firmware to 3.33 and used clockwork recovery to install the CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG. The ROM would load but it would freeze and soft reboot at the welcome screen, after I selected my language. I tried again with the PAC-man ROM and experienced the same problem. Then I tried again with Cyanogenmod 9.1 and this time the phone would lock up if I tried to pull down the notification bar or use any apps. In one of the ROM threads I saw that it might be an issue with the radio, so I tried an variety of radios but still have the same results or occasionally the ROM will get stuck at the boot animation. I'm currently using firmware 3.32 (downgraded to see if that would help), hboot 1.27.1100 and radio 11.23.3504.07 M2. Any ideas on why my phone just refuses to boot up?

You may also try the installation using 4Ext touch recovery.
It seems Recovery is the culprit
Change it to 4EXT

I tried flashing 4EXT using the multitool and for some reason the phone entered a bootloop when I tried to boot in to recovery. I then tried flashing the TWRP recovery image through the multitool and it worked! After formatting everything and reinstalling the PAC-man ROM, I was finally able to get past that welcome screen. I bought this phone as a gift for a friend, and it is blowing my mind that this rom makes this 2 year old phone have newer features than my galaxy s3! Thank you again for all the help!!
