Flashing official MIUI 2.11.30 for Desire S But No Success

I am using MIUI zero 2.11.30 by ahmedsalahais. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016648)
I saw that our ds is officially supported by MIUI and I wanted to give a try to install official release just for curiosity. I tried to flash miuiandroid.com 2.11.30 version but it does not boot. It is stuck with a black screen.
Then I followed this tutorial: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/tutorial-for-installing-miui-v4-desire-s.17470/
I installed official ICS using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858508
After official ICS, I flashed official MIUI 2.11.30. This time MIUI boot animation logo appeared. But I didn't succeed to boot again. I tried releases from miui.us, miui.com china but I did not succed to boot successfully with these official releases.
What am I missing? Why miuiandroid version needs stock 4.0 for desire s and specific hboot version, I did not understand but anyway I followed the steps but no luck. Can you tell me how to flash an official MIUI release (for example: 2.11.30) successfully? I will be glad if you help about this issue.

Just flash it how u would flash any other rom. Put the zip in the sd, clean wipe, install, reboot.
edit : bankup 1st before all else, always a must.

I know how to flash a rom normally. But this time, for official miui it didn't work. I wanted to learn if there are any different steps when flashing miui. But now my problem has solved. I formatted all partitions three times, wiped data, cache and dalvik, flashed the official miui rom from miuiandroid.com and magically it booted.

[HOW-TO] Revert to Stock ROM JB for user with new HBOOT

Hi to All,
I want to share my experience about revert to stock for users that have new HBOOT, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery; can't execute official RUU. ( This method i think is more safe that downgrade HBOOT )
Step ONE:
Install this custom ROM: MaximuS ROM ( read the thread for instruction about installation of this ROM )
( this ROM allow you to receive the message of OTA JB update, if you know another ROM that receive this message you can use as well i think )
Step TWO:
install the stock recovery of HTC One S via fastboot ( after flashing recovery erase cache )
Step THREE:
Reboot your phone in system, configure the rom for first use, go to settings, information, software update and press check now for update.
You'll receive the message for an update, download and install, and now you have stock JB ROM. after reboot you can do a reset ( go to setting => backup and restore ) to clean the application migrated from previous ROM ( MaximuS )
I hope this can help someone else.
p.s. Sorry for my English!

Thanks bro for this, but my problem is not resolved because this rom couldn't install on my HTC One S, i dont know why... Log show me: MD5 files not found

Witch recovery are you using at the moment? I installed this ROM ( MaximuS ) with Team Win Recovery ( TWRP ) v2.3.3.0 and it's works for me.
( after flashing ROM from recovery remember to flash boot.img by fastboot )

I use TWRP and CWM and the same. My mate told me that i have unmount 1 and 2 partition in recovery but i don't know how.

Hi everyone,
thanks a lot, this saved my ass ... I had upgraded my stock ICS to stock JB and then tried to go back to stock ICS with a CWM backup - with the result that I had a brick booting only to a black screen.
I still had access to CWM recovery and so could install the Maximus 2.5 ROM and also the update to stock JB ran through just fine.
I did a factory reset afterwards, is it 100% sure that I now have a pure stock JB or could there be some leftovers from the Maximus 2.5 ROM?
Cheers,
Tim

Yes you have a stock JB, because with factory reset you've removed all extra application that there is inside MaximuS v.2.5.
All other unneeded file or executable ( like root executable and all other script in /system ect. ) was removed during installation of new ROM.
Remember just that you need to revert to stock to give your phone back to HTC for guarantee, I thinks you must leave on it the stock recovery.

It's happened because from recovery the system was unable to flash the boot partition. So after you did the CWM restore, you have all the phone with ICS android, but JB kernel, this cause your black screen after boot!!!
If you have the boot.img ( with suitable kernel of your old ROM ) to flash after you did the CWM recovery, you can get back to your BACKUP without any problem.
Also if you don't have the exactly boot.img of your previous ROM of the backup, you can flash any boot.img by fastboot of ICS kernel and this is should be enough to keep your backup running again.

Thanks very much for the additional explanations. I do have the boot.img of my original CWM backup, so should be able to restore it via fastboot. Great!
But first I have to send in my phone to have the USB port fixed under warranty.

Holy ****, is working, thanks man...

Wait to see if i understood, i have now Custom ( Virtuous Ville+ RC-1) JB ROM, with hboot 2.15.0000... unlocked, root, twrp
1.install maximuS V2.5, wipe..
2. flash boot.img with fastboot
3.Check update for JB, and flash new update JB?
And that's it?
I guess we have to make relock bootloader, after flash ICS?
Tnx

You just forgot in the list to install the HTC Stock recovery before check the message of update, so:
1 => Wipe and install MaximuS V2.5 ROM
2 => flash with fastboot boot.img of MaximuS V2.5 ROM
3 => flash stock HTC Recovery via fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img , then fastboot erase cache ) or get it from One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0
4 => start the phone and check for the JB update
5 => after JB installation do a factory reset to clean up the ROM from the extra application that MaximuS ROM have.
You don't need to relock your bootloader, you just need to install the stock recovery, that's enough.

Hmm, wait, why need install stock recovery?
This JB will be working with custom twrp?
EDIT: I got it

I did it! I unmounted first 3 partitions in TWRP and installation successful.

I am on stock Rom now and used HTC offical update to get to jb...do u think I will have trouble rooting again?

Will this work on a T-Mobile HOS with CID HTC__001?
I have followed all the steps from above
- installed the rom
- installed the stock recovery
- then I was able to start the update but when it finished downloading .. I was told that the HTC software on my device has been modified and please revert back and try the update again and it would not preform the update.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance

Hi once more,
after going back to pure stock JB this way, can I relock the bootloader to get "RELOCKED" instead of "UNLOCKED/TAMPERED"? (That would be good for sending in my phone under warranty.) Or will the phone stop booting if I relock the bootloader?
As far as I understood, the "canonical" way to get "RELOCKED" would be to lock the bootloader and install the RUU, but since there is no RUU for the unbranded JB yet and downgrading with an older RUU is not possible, I cannot do this.
Cheers,
Tim

The only word of caution that I think needs to be shared on almost all threads related to JB updates is to make sure you DO NOT have SuperCID... There have been numerous reports of phones bricking with the OTA JB update with a SuperCID... So if you had previously SuperCID your phone with 11111111, definately change it to something else.

[Q] I Can't flash anything from TWRP...Help please!!

Hi all,
a friend of mine has bought his HTC One S 3 days ago, but after using the all in one toolkit we aren't able to flash anything....Let me explain better:
1) we follwed everything step by step (unloocking and rooting) with success
2) we can mount the sd card from the recovery and copy any ROM
3) when flashing nothing happens, just errors messages (we tried with Viper and TrickDroid)
4) As far as I understood, the boot.img must be flashed AFTER flashing the ROM, not before, right?
The CID phone is vodap102. It was updated to the latest JB before messin'it up....so it has Hboot 2.15. The latest RUU for this Cid is unavailable so we can't back to stock...how can we solve this?? any idea???
Please help us, we're quite desperate :crying:
Thanks a million guys!
P.S. Just noticed that when rebooting from the recovery it say that SuperSU is not installed and can't be pushed to the sd .....if I install it manually says "successful", but that message, when rebooting, appears again...

Great, after thousand of various recoveries we found the right one (TWRP 2.2.2.0) and we flashed Viper's ROM!
Thank you man!:good:

As the poster above said, it's good that the 4.2.2 ROM wouldn't flash, or your device would have bricked by now with possibly no means to recover it. Flash a ROM from the S3 Development section.

Can’t Flash Anything on TWRP
Hello,
I’m using a Kindle Fire HD ( 1st Gen ). I rooted it and I’m running on CyanogenMod 9 ,Android version 4.0.4 . I also have TWRP installed,version 2.2.2.1 .I have decided to sell my Kindle Fire but I have to unroot it first. So I booted into TWRP 2.2.2.1 and tried to flash the Kindle Fire update bin file which is zipped. After flashing it, it says “ Error flashing zip ‘/sdcard/update-kindle-6.3.2_DO1E_4110520.BIN.ZIP’”.What should I do to unroot my kindle now? Please Help !!! :crying:

[Q] reboot loop after flashing the PAC-MAN rom, but can still enter recovery

I have my TF300T with official rom, but unlocked and installed TWRP 2.3.3 about 1 years ago,
after that I didnt do anything special liking flashing rom except regular use
Yesterday, my wife complained the tablet is too slow, so i tried to flash the customized rom PAC-ROM 4.3, then my device enters reboot loop.... and it hangs at the ASUS logo for about 30 second for every reboot.
since I still can enter recovery and run TWRP, so i searched around and followed some posts by doing wipe system, factory reset, reflashing multiple times....but nothing helped. I also did the wipe data button on the recovery menu besides the RCK, but after reading some posts, i am afraid that i softbricked my device by doing that.
however, now i still can enter TWRP, but dont know what to do to restore my device, I wish some one can help me here by giving some suggestions
I would also to know the cause of the failure, my device is running the offical 4.1 ROM, and i followed exactly the steps mentioned by the post on PAC_MAN, Is that because my TWRP is too old?

There is two version of JB bootloaders. It looks like You have an older one and all current custom roms require new one. So here is Your mistake. To unbrick Your device it need to be reflashed to 4.1 stock rom. Then, if You still need to flash pac-rom, upgrade to 4.2 stock rom first.

Thanks so much!
i just want to confirm, since i already did wipe data button, do i need to goto fastboot to push the stock rom?
or i can just flash the 4.1 stock (or customized rom) using twrp?
in addition,how should i upgrade to 4.2 stock rom? can you refer me a thread?
thanks again!:good:

I think fastboot is prefered to restore 4.1 stock. And IMHO best way to upgrade to 4.2 is stock recovery.

sorry that i am a newbie without much experience.
i am not very clear about the steps.but if i understand correctly, i need to
1. goto fastboot to restore stock 4.1, which will automatically remove TWRP and replace it with stock recovery
2. copy stock 4.2 rom to the root of a sdcard and run stock recovery for udpate
3. root the device again? and install TWRP
4. use TWRP to install the PC-man 4.3
am i miss anything?
thanks alot!

All right. Little hint: twrp for new bootloader have 4.2 in the end of file name and version 2.5.0.0 is most stable.

Hope this Helps
Try here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
Basically, you have 2 options. If you want to stay on 4.1 bootloader, download the older 4.1 Asus factory image zip (v10.4.x.x) from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758, and install it using one of the three options mentioned in the first thread.
Option #2 is to update to the newest 4.2 bootloader, download the newest 4.2 Asus factory image zip from the same thread (v10.6.x.x), and install it
I would go with #2 because most of the newer custom ROM are made for 4.2 bootloader, plus it's the offical newest Asus bootloader. The only reason I can think of to use option #1 is for some of the older custom ROM that still uses 4.1 bootloader.
Hope this helps.
