about to get this phone. Roms?

ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help

Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!

can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.

If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

Stock T-Mobile rom

Does anyone know of a stable stock TMO US ROM without the T-Mobile apps?
For some reason I keep getting random reboots on CM10 and don't care for any of the other ROMs for the one S. Just gonna revert back to what the phone was built on.
I am pretty sure I have the One S from launch date, but how can I be certain which version of the One S I have?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

You can remove the T-Mobile apps with titanium backup. So if you made a nandroid just flash back to that and use tb to uninstall apps you don't like.
Your profile says you are in Dallas..I'm in Austin and I have the s4. I think that is/was the only version sold in the US

Just fine the RRU for your update to your phone it should be 2.35 RRU google it should be the first one ^_^..but if you updated from dec 10 and up you have to wait for the new RRU from Football

Or if you made a nandroid you don't have to run ruu which requires you relock bootloader...

Alright, well, I need help.
From my understanding of reading, i need to relock the bootloader, get into fastboot and run the exe.
Every time I run the exe the damn thing closes on me. Doesn't go into "not responding" or errors out or anything, just fracking closes.
Now that the bootloader is locked I can do anything with the phone lol.
Some of the posts I came across said that they found that if you don't have CWM as the recovery it fails, but other posts nixed that idea saying it doesn't matter. Is there any truth to that?
EDIT: the 2.35 RUU closes without warning the 1.53 RUU goes into not responding.
EDIT #2: Was able to unlock the bootloader again, flash the latest nightly and now im back on CM10 with a brandnew phone and factory reset to nothing. What do I need to do to be able to successfully run the 2.35 ruu...?

Are you running windows or linux on your pc..??
Sent from my HTC One S Special Edition using xda premium

Windows.
I have the ability to do so in Linux as well if need be.

I can provide you the latest nandroid backup if you want restore it in twrp or cwm then get the boot.IMG from the ruu , open ruu , goto temp files, find the folder which contains the extracts of ruu and then open the Rom.zip in there , there you will find the boot.IMG , flash it in fastboot , flash stock recovery , relock bootloader. You're as good ruu , or if you want I can do the ruu manualy for you on teamviewer pm me !

Doesn't ruu require windows? You try a virtual machine to emulate windows. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to achieve s off?

Are you S-OFF already?
Is this an AT&T one X? you would have had to supercid to root, if you RUU and you are not S-OFF you will brick.
To RUU, you'll need windows be it through a VM or another PC.
You can flash an OTA through stock recovery if you download the zip but if you're superCID that will also brick you.

I have S-on Relock hboot 1.09
I guess im gonna ask a friend to let me borough hes windows laptop i think thats the easiest way to go back

[Firmware] 3.18.709.2 red-warning removed plus TRWP

For those of you who want to try the new 3.18.709.2 firmware.
Here is a custom package I made, containing all the 3.18.709.2 files but recovery
is changed for TRWP recovery 2.6.3.0
Also the RED WARNING from the Hboot is removed!
I am running this firmware at the moment, and everything is fine!
Check screenshot for information of the new Radio, enjoy!
Warning:
The boot.img from 3.18.709.2 doesn't like the 3.17 ROM's at the moment, so Camera won't work!
You can fix it by flashing Elemental or Bulletproof or the stock boot.img from 3.17.
If you flashed the firmware package first and after that you flashed a 3.17 ROM you won't have this problem
removed

Flashed it all OK thanks for sharing mate.

flashing firmware will not put you back to s-on. At least none have to this point.

That's a general issue with custom hboot, discussed already here.
BTW, if you got S-Off with revone you should update to v0.2.1 that prevents exactly this:
UPDATED revone binary (v0.2.1)
* Safety update: No longer allows -s 3 since this can lead to bricks with custom HBOOTs, use: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (which is safer - and checks such things)
* Fix: delusions of grandeur - revone now no longer reports success when it fails.
* Outside chance some previous failures will now be successful but most likely they will just correctly report failure.
Please note that due to the safety update ALL previous versions have been replaced with v0.2.1 and are hence no longer supported.

I removed boot.img from your zip file as well as recovery.img, that's why I have no issues with the camera.

does it say revolutionary or something else?
in any case it makes things easier
with supercid you can use any ruu.exe you want
i don't know which one is for your region but if you want to use the european one here you go
http://hotfile.com/dl/176652568/312....24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed.exe.html
in my opinion the device comes with custom rom and custom recovery that's why you can't do official updates
do you know if it has a custom recovery installed?
