I never rooted or flashed or anything to my one s, yesterday I got the official jellybean update and so far I hate it
sure they made some things good, contact pictures aren't low quality any more but the downside out weighs the good stuff, I can't play any games cause it lags, the 3d effect on my home screens is gone
all in all I want to downgrade back to ics, the official htc ice, not custom ones. I'm willing to root or w/e it is asking is my phone is how it was yesterday before the update
please help, oh and I have the s4 processor
Edit: even after turning everything off I'm using up 800mb ram out of the 1gb
AW: Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4
RAM management on Linux/Android is different as the windows one.
Full doesnt automatically means bad, but yes the usage is higher then on ICS.
Only way to revert to official ICS is downgrade your HBoot or getting S-OFF and installing the ICS Ruu.

if s-off, hboot and ruu are unknown for you the procedure could be very risky for you..
maybe think about flashing a custom rom which is based on 4.0.4, like zenRom or Trickdroid 7, its much easier than downgrading etc.

no
this is normally the ruu, doubleklick, and it makes everything on its own.
but the jb-ota updated the hboot, so the ics ruu isnt compatible anymore.
to let the ics ruu run again you have to downgrade your hboot.

Fyi you will lose warranty if you attempt any of the above steps I.e root, s off etc. I think you should give custom roms a go if you are going to unlock bootloader and root. Trickdroid is pretty much stock but better and viper is amazing. Using hasoons all in one tool is probably the easiest way to unlock phone (stickied in dev section).

Manual Upgrade
Hi Guys,
I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile .... Its not rooted yet .....
But the software upgrade won't work .... The update gets downloaded (as I can see the update file in my file explorer) but it won't install ....
The phone merely restarts ....
I have 4.0.3, and want to upgrade to 4.0.4 .... fed up with the multi-tasking issues.
Is there any way to install the upgrade file manually, or do I need to install a 4.0.4 based custom ROM?

Android Version 2.2.1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.21-g3c08447
Software Number Inspired DHD AFR003
so now as I remember I did the s-off rooted and unlocked but need to go back to stock firmware (IDK just want it) so att made the update to gingerbread so my question is:
If I update like the way the htc page tells me to will it brick my phone ?
and if not what do I have to do?
ive just been out of it and im a little back behind but I find posts with other things than this thanks in advance guys!

It has all the instructions and tools you need to return to stock.
but I cant just execute the htc update and what would happen my main concern is messing up my phone by just updating to the official Gingerbread I am on still on the same specs
Yes you can just flash the gingerbread ruu. You will be stock but still have soff which is fine unless you were going to do some kind of warranty claim then I would suggest gong son aswell

Do you mean the OTA update, or the RUU from HTC's website? If the former, then no, you can't unless you are running a rock-stock froyo ROM (it will abort before doing anything). If the latter, then yes, you can run it, but it will wipe everything.

Flashing ghe htc OTA update while you are S-Off will not work. Found this out the hard way back when I first started messing with phones
You can un root your phone and put S-On and update it to gingerbread but I don't think you'll be able to root it as I believe the hack kit requires you to downgrade firmware anyway.
Best bet is to just flash a gingerbread rom. If your trying to keep sense I would suggest the rom virtuous unity.
Has sense 3.0 with a load of new features and is gingerbread I believe.
Either way, best of luck. Hope this helps

its best that you dont update with the official RUU because it changes your bootloader. If you dont want S-OFF, read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 or if you want be S-OFF (best choice): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919.
If you want be S-OFF update your HBOOT with one of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679338 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236890
And finally you can flash a custom rom in my opinion the best are Fallout (sense 4A), Virtuous (full sense 4) and ICE DS (sense 3.6). All of this roms are android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). I hope that i will explain well.
Happy flashing!!!!

Ok, then install a recovery over fastboot and then make a full wipe in you recovery ( 4ext is a great choice) and flash a custom rom with ics. If you want only ruu, put the pg88img.zip in the root of your sd and flash it through your bootloader. Ok?

Hello guy's
I have been searching on xda and google, but did not find a clear answer for my question. I know that S-off allows you to do anything to your phone, and i read 'Alpharev'.
I have unlocked my bootloader, flashed the recovery and rooted my Sensation Hboot 1.27.. using the Hasoon All in one toolkit.
The phone is still s-on and i flashed cyanagenmod 9. All working.
The question is: Wat difference does it make when i make my phone s-off? Is it meaningfull to do it?
I am just a noob on this territory, so is it usefull for me to doe the ('risky') wire-trick to S-off my phone?
Thank you!

Hi,
S-off will enable you to flash different firmwares and radios,and any RUU.
Until you NEED to do any of those things,you are OK on s-on.
What the post above says, there's really no need to unless you're gonna be messing with radios, different firmware, cid, and stuff like that

super cid you can flash any firmware region, but it is not required for your device's own firmware.. firmware upgrades are sometimes a must when flashing different roms (like going from gb to ics or vice versa) if you are already on ics I really don't think it's a benefit to upgrade to another ics firmware if yours works fine.. and you can flash different radios that might improve signal and better reception (results vary so only real way to know is to try one yourself) hope that was clear, that's as far as I know

Like above post says, basically you have more freedom to do what you want with s off. Also flashing involves less steps with soff. I'm s off and I'm glad I did it. I can change radios firmwares, with ease.

Yes i had allready flashed the Google apps. I now got it fixed by getting back to stock rom and synced the contacts once more.
But the strange thing is that CM9 still keeps saying: 'No contacts on SIM'.
For the firmware, I do not know which firmware is needed. Is it so that I need a ICS rom?, or must I look at the number, 3.33...
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I know I need a ICS rom, flashing for instance gb is impossible without flashing firmware.. but must the numbers match?

Well depends. I know some Miui 3.33 roms run awful on 3.32. Makes no sense as 3.33 was literally radio related update.
Otherwise yeah they should mat h. 3.32/3.33 seem to be backward compatible though.

Hello everyone! I just got my HTC Sensation 4G, and I really want to root it. The problem is, this phone is so much more complex than my Optimus V and there are many different methods to rooting this phone. So if anyone has the time, can you give me a quick run down on how to flash a ROM and which way is the easiest way to root? To me it seems like the Super Utility is the easiest, but VipeR's method is more in depth.
PS: I am currently on Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.4, the kernal version is 2.6.35.13. I want to flash Bruce's CM10 or possibly the latest MIUI JB. TWRP 2.3 seems like a good recovery, but I see a lot of people using 4EXT, so which would work better?
Thanks in advance!

All right guys, I'll make sure to read those guides and not use the HTC Dev method. I saw on some topics like Bruce's CM10 that I need the ICS firmware. This is achieved by downloading the ICS/Sense 3.6 update correct? And if it is, just grab it from under settings and go from there? Sorry for being such a noob at this!
As you are still on Gingerbread, I would suggest to S-OFF your device first as it is quite easy to do so. Later, on ICS and 1.27 HBOOT it will be more difficult. If you S-OFF your device now, you can update your phone thereafter to ICS. I think these would be the correct moves, I hope someone will confirm this! Have a good day!
Yeh if your still on gingerbread soff now instead of with ICS. Then you can update to ICS/JB by flashing 3.32/3.33 firmware once your soff.

So S-Off with Revolutionary then do the OTA update or use Kohr-Ah's 3.33 update? God I hate having to ask so many questions, but I just want to make sure I get through this all cleanly. No need for Super CID or perm root until I get updated to 3.33 correct?
Someone more clever should confirm this to you but I think if you s-off, then install ICS you can still update your firmware. That's the point of S-OFF-ing your device. You can do whatever you want with it. But wait until someone confirm this to you or it might be written somewhere.
Seems like doing the ICS update then using the Super Utility is the simplest way, with the wire trick being the hardest part. Can anyone confirm please?
S-OFF before you update to ICS! After S-OFF you can still install ICS on your device. It is much easier to S-OFF on Gingerbread. No wire trick etc... just simple instructions you need to follow!
No you want to soff first in gingerbread ad above posters suggested it will be best in the long run and a whole lot easier for you!once you update it will be more difficult to soff. Hope this helps so do the soff in gingerbread first.

Ok, so S-Off well in GB. Do I use Super Utility or VipeR's Guide?
But can someone tell me the correct way to get the 3.32/3.33 firmware after that? I am assuming I should follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
And that I should use the 3.32 TMOUS firmware from here, as I am on T-Mobile US:

Alright, so I did all the reading up I could, and I think I got this down. Im going to use VipeR's guide to S-Off, root, and SuperCID, then I'm going to usejoaquinf's guide to flash Kohr-Ah's 3.33 Universal firmware update. After that going to put on Bruce's CM10 and away I'll go.
PS: Anyone here use the latest TWRP Recovery on this phone? It seems the focus is one 4EXT.
Use 4ext! It will make your life easier later... good luck and report back how you got on!

Hello everyone! I just got my HTC Sensation 4G, and I really want to root it. The problem is, this phone is so much more complex than my Optimus V and there are many different methods to rooting this phone. So if anyone has the time, can you give me a quick run down on how to flash a ROM and which way is the easiest way to root? To me it seems like the Super Utility is the easiest, but VipeR's method is more in depth.
PS: I am currently on Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.4, the kernal version is 2.6.35.13. I want to flash Bruce's CM10 or possibly the latest MIUI JB. TWRP 2.3 seems like a good recovery, but I see a lot of people using 4EXT, so which would work better?
Thanks in advance!

You dont need to s-off if you just want custom rom and root acess
First update your sensation on ics and then look here

you have right but with S-OFF you have a fully unlocked device and you can flash whatever you want such as firmware,radios,rils

I would rather S-Off so I have total freedom to do what I want. Plus it doesn't seem to be that hard with GB. I'll see if I have time to root today, if not then definitely during the week.

Hello, I am fairly new to XDA so, I do not know much. But I am fairly knowledged on technology so just say what you may to help out.
I rooted my HTC One X (Evita) And I installed Cyanogenmod 10 . Now I wanna install cm10.1 nightly, now I installed the
M-2 Release and went back to cm10 now I hear there is a HBOOT requirement.
Now, what would happen if. I tried the nightly (boot loop)?? Because I wanna try it and I don't really trust any other dev except AOKP. Thanks!
There is no requirement. But if your on hboot 2.14 from either a ruu or your hox came with 2.14 then you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. The thread is sticked in original dev section. You should be fine flashing the nightly

No you wont get bricked but if your not soff you will need to flash the boot.img of the ROM in question in fast boot because your on 2.20. All the instructions for flashing will be in the roms thread in the first post.

You won't brick. Just make sure you flash the boot.img if the ROM requires it. Just check the 1st post in the ROMs thread and there should be instructions for flashing if your worried still

This is true. I am on 1.14. I flashed about four roms. If you are stuck in bootloop, then just reformat /system and /data, and reflash, and then use fastboot the boot.img. Most of the CM roms requires it. But, I seriously suggest you get S-OFF, while you can. It is worth it, and makes life really simple. The link is in my sig

You have the middle eastern variant of this phone, none of the firmware/hboots/radios etc from the normal version are compatible and will most likely brick your phone if you try to install them. Basically, you can't run any aosp ROM because you can't flash the necessary upgrades. It's unfortunate but you're stuck with Sense ROMs.
The problem is that there simply aren't enough of the middle eastern variant around so there is no development specifically for it, so all you users with that variant are kinda stuck coming into this forum where not everything is compatible.

how about to get supercid then flash ruu 3.18??
You could try, but there's a really good chance you'll brick. Personally I wouldn't risk it.

I believe I am running hboot 2.20.502.7 and I want to install cyanogenmod 10.2
I keep getting errors when attempting to flash. it says something like:
assert failed getprop( ro.bootloader )
^this is followed by some numbers including 2.14.0000 and 2.15.0000
do I need to downgrade my hboot firmware to install this rom?
thanks

There's no such thing as hboot 2.20, that's your software version. You need to upgrade your firmware by running the 3.18 RUU. It does state that very clearly in the CM thread. You must have s-off to do this or you'll brick.

I tried getting s-off with the facepalm method and had no luck. I had no erros other than the ones expected in the instructions. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe my firmware is too old. I now know that my kernal version is 3.0.51.
Why not update your ROM and try again?
