Why is it that almost every if not every Rom made for one s s4 requires boot.img to be flashed before flashing the Rom
This device is not user friendly at all with Rom flashing
Samsung is a breeze ,so why is it that on other HTC devices boot.img are included in the flashing process ,hassle free with the one s you either have to fastboot flash it from a pc first ,when not everyone has a pc around .
What's the reasoning behind this boot.img prior to flaahing any actual Rom

If you achieve S off you don't have to flash the boot.img

You can also flash boot.img via recovery if you have hboot below 1.13. This is a limitation of the htcdev unlock, I believe.

No its a limitation of the higher hboot.
Not the unlockmethod because the hboot doesn't change.

Well, technically, since htcdev unlock does not give you S-OFF, it IS a limitation.
Point taken, still a sucky device in my opinion , its def a bottom end phone shoulda kept my s3 ....
On a side note ,I have been able to flash Roms without s off on other Htc devices
Never had to flash boot.img separate even with s on with my EVO lte or droid DNA both had s on.
Must be just this device only or maybe a few more others ,its still a huge hassle with newer hboot.
Even soft bricked earlier and lost my nandroid, had mount usb storage and download a Rom and sideload it into twrp just to get off the HTC one logo bootloop.
This was before I realized about the flashing boot.img prerequisite

This may be an ok point at best. Lots of phones are different in their abilities to customize, the ease of customization, and similarly, the ease of replacing phone hardware. But your point above is essentially moot due to how easily devs have made the s-off process. Sorry, but that is true. Say what you want, your comments may have been relevant last year (and indeed, the hboots post 1.09 were worth complaining about)... But not in 2013. And if you can somehow go through the bootloader unlocking process but cant take the extra few steps to get s-off (since it seems to difficult?) well then I dont know whats wrong... And I still dont understand how not being able to go through the S-OFF process makes this a bottom end phone? And how your soft bricking makes it a bottom end phone (bc of course its the phones fault and not yours, right?) Idk but if you dont like the phone go back to your S3... But dont say that this phone is objectively worse.... Its better for some people, and maybe not better for others.

But it is never ment to give soff.
I don't know a single manufacturer that is willing to give soff on their devices.
Since lower hboots flash the bootfile.
hboot related.

This device has worked perfectly for me. IMO, a thousand times better than the S3. The HTC One doesn't require S-OFF to flash the boot.img within recovery, so they must have changed their stance recently. Still, one of the first things when you flash a ROM is to learn how to flash it. It is in every ROM, you need to flash the boot.img. I don't think it is the device's fault if a user will not read instructions.

Not getting cocky, quite immature if you ask me. I am merely stating a fact that ROM installation instructions are available in every ROM thread or updater-script. It's your fault if you cannot read it. Should have tested the phone if you hated it so much.
Whatever, enjoy your build quality while it lasts

LOL RAM??? Thats your only actual argument out of that silly tirade. That makes me laugh... The device is a year old, and most devices (including a few models of your S3) had 1G ram back then. The phone has a great form factor when compared to some other phones. With some good customizations, (replacing the internal batter too, which isnt that hard), and a good rom, you can get killer battery life out of this phone too.
But yeah, you just make me laugh.... OMG 1G ram, ooo nooooo doomsday is upon all One S users cuz of 1G RAM.... Hhahahahaha keep up the jokes!!! The phone was never as expensive as an S3 to begin with, and was released months before the S3... But yeah oooo 1 G RAM... I dont know what i am going to do... I may have to end it all right now..... hahahaha

When you start calling people names, you are the one that appears immature and childish, no matter how correct you may be.
The problem is, though, you are not correct. Maybe it only appears as a "simple" mistake to you, probably because you don't care or haven't spent enough time in the forums, but for people who frequent XDA then it has become a cumulative nuisance.
Also, when the majority of users responding in the thread you started is either questioning the logic of your statement or placement of the thread then maybe you need to reflect on what you were trying to accomplish and maybe take into consideration how you can achieve better results in the future. Long story short, try to learn from your mistakes.
Okay, so, International One x won't be compatible because of hardware differences, but what about the One S roms? I just tried flashing the CM9 port for the S, and it flashed successfully but upon reboot the screen was just filled with green graphical glitches. Rebooting back into recovery and attempting to restore my backup of the stock system didn't work at all, so RUU for me... but, why wouldn't a One S ROM work? It has 99% of the same hardware... besides the qHD screen. I remember being able to flash a Droid 3 ROM to my bootloader-locked Atrix 2 and it booting up just fine. What's different here?

LTE radio for one. Probably some other minor differences too.
Arg....seems like the devs have moved on to getting s-off and coming out with new roms and have given up on finding exploits to root 1.85. The threads for root have been empty for a while now...wondering if its time to exchange the phone or return it and want for the sg3?
I know i'm not the only person frustrated for upgrading to 1.85....

You can. That is what I did. It's pretty simple.
Revert to 1.82, root,
one click superCID
relock in fast boot
ruu 1.85
flash the unlock token from fastboot, it took me a few tries before it took
flash a recovery (twrp is working well for us right now)
and then use the recovery to flash the SU zip file. Then you're all set
Well this is how it works.
Once you update your RUU to 1.85 then install CWM (flashing utility in recovery) You will just flash the Rom you wish this will give you root.
Hope this clears things up?
I'm unclear on the rooted 1.85 but from what I gather you have to have done superCID hack before upgrading to be able to gain root. I believe you have to also have superCID to do ruu to a previous firmware. I may be wrong but if your on 1.85 without superCID I think your SOL for now atleast.

Yes, it's simply amazing how many people will write such non-useful crap that serves no useful purpose.
Look, we've all been there. We all had to learn from the beginning at some point.
I'm also sick of people lobbing ignorant comments my way when it comes to some of the things I do for others, especially here on xda. Case in point ...
Over the last three days I've prepared a 36-page manual that describes, in great detail, how to do virtually everything on a ONE X. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308
It's sad when, after working an average of 70 hours per week as President an owner of my LED lighting company, plus having a 2-1/2-year-old at home, who's a wonderful challenge, plus having issues with my 82-year-old mother suffering from Alzheimers, I still MAKE time to help others, most especially here on xda. Why? Because it's the right thing to do. As I said above, we've all been there, and I'm quite sick and tired of so many others (THEY shall remain nameless), who can't spend a few extra seconds of their precious time to provide a better explanation than the simple "just do it in fastboot," or "use adb," etc.
Yes, I've now learned exactly what these two simple statements mean, but it really would have been nice, and far, far, far easier not just for me, but everyone if, instead of saying the following ...
flash it in fastboot
...they instead said something like ...
open a command prompt, navigate to your adb folder, and flash in fastboot using the following line:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img
Wow, it took me an extra 10 seconds. Oh, my goodness, my fingers are now so sore. I think I'll head to the hospital. Be back later.
Peter
P.S. And don't anyone dare tell me, like someone did yesterday, that I should basically shut up and stop "sassing" (their word) the developers because they work so hard at what they do. You know, I probably work as hard if not MUCH harder than most of them, yet I will always try my very best to give some of my time to others. Again, as I said above, it's the right thing to do. You know, maybe if more people did just that, the world wouldn't be so full of self-centred, egotistical ingrates.

Or didn't wait enough. Don't update official firmware without knowing if existing root methods will still work, unless you are willing to live with the consequences.

It also seems like Samsung devices are not as difficult to deal with than HTC and the locked bootloader and S-On.

I thought getting S-Off would be hard with the new bootloader. All you really need is some free time (Hour at the longest), and some Tigers Blood (Keeping the SWAG up).
Carrier Unlock can be done for free, on a stock rom. A simple terminal command, and BAMN! Unlocked.
Rooting is so simple, ADB and 10 minutes.
Moto devices tend to not have a recovery image. Bootstrap is all you have. Going from an HTC device to Moto is a hard thing to do. When you root/unlock the device, alot of issues arise. Plus the D3 has no devs, only Hascode. You'll have 1, 2 good roms. Atleast here you have some more choice. Motorolla devices suck. I've worked with phones a better part of my life, and know many in the game. I'm best friends with a Motorolla phone tester. He's using the new Quad-Core Moto phone (Spyder 2X), pure Jellybean on it. It sucks ass, slower than slow. Our phone murders it in speed. I've never meet a happy moto owner. In the area i live in, having some best friends whos parents work for Moto is normal. Even there parent, engineers for the phones......say there P.O.S.

Lemme try and make a video. I have a spare DS, but none of the buttons work. I can try to make a video if it helps. But I'll have to see.

1 hour of research, like 20 minutes of work.
So quick and easy that months later I forgot that I did it already.
Also, I used the Droid 3 and Droid 4 at work and they suck. Build quality seems cheap, keyboards are too clicky, and phones are enourmous in size.

thank you sir you are a scholar
I'd hate for you to leave the doubleshot scene because you couldn't get the phone rooted. Its a great phone with great devs. Its a touch confusing, this one, because the firmware rev changed the process, and it may not be immediately apparent which of the instructions you need.
These are the steps I took three weeks ago to get a new-in-the-box 1.63 phone from its original condition to cm9. I ended up using hassoon's toolkit but not his gui. But the download contains adb, fastboot, a working recovery, and such dlls as are required. Used htc unlocker procedure, and I'm still s-on and it hasn't been an issue (except that I have to have my laptop to flash new roms.) So you can put the wire down.
Fetch hassoons toolkit. Fetch the HTC sync installer. I presume you've done all this, but I'm putting it down for the sake of completion. Download cm9 alpha6 to your phone's sdcard. Also, open the cm9 zip and copy the included boot.img to your computer. Probably should put it in the directory created by hassoon's, right next to fastboot.
Run the htc sync installer as far as installing the usb drivers. Cancel out before installing sync.
Extract hassoons toolkit somewhere handy.
Go to HTC's site and walk through the unlocker process. Use the binary adb in hassoon to perform the instructions therein.
Now you have hboot 1.63, unlocked, s-on.
Use fastboot in hassoon's kit to flash cwm. Don't forget to clear data and cache. I usually go ahead and wipe system and dalvik cache.
Boot into cwm. Install rom. Power down, then power up to hboot. Switch to fastboot mode.
Flash boot.img using fastboot.
Reboot.
Profit.
My phone is always with me. I'll pay attention to yer thread if you have more questions. Call it my contribution. Ftw.

Oh and I have no idea what the actual process is for rooting the stock rom. Use miktouch for that. Stock with all the work done. Its the only way to keep the camera AFAIK. But I live on cm9.

maybe we could get on irc at 11 est because I for one need to try the newer radio to see if it will stop my X for signal sometimes, and with the rev boot loader the new radio boot loops me as soon as it goes to sleep and I wake it

Just so you know if you go to the development section and on the XDA app you will see there are three tabs at the top ....one says topics one says stickies one says announce. If you click the stickies tab there are all the tutorials , guides , and FAQs you need . Make sure you are in the dev section then click the stickies tab ......

This "S-off" thing is a big disappointment I am supposed to get my One S tomorrow but now I don't think I want it. Locked bootloaders suck lol. I thought everyone says HTC One S is the best phone and better than Samsung Lmao I don't see how but I guess I will see...

The only pain is for all you crack flashers that flash 5 roms a day (which is ridiculous)....and not having s off doesn't make it that much more time consuming to flash a Rom , all the roms have a boot IMG script that does all the commands for you , so if you already have fastboot and adb on your cp (wich you should if you flash roms) it is a minor issue ....
Sent from me
I got my answer from someone who owns both the gnex and the one s. The galaxy nexus rules. US crack flashers like to be able to flash whenever we want to or when we need to. Especially if I am away and a ROM isn't running as it should or if a kernel is buggy it's always nice to be a crack flasher. Opinions are like assholes.

I have had many android in the past and have never had to reset the phone and lose everything to root.
I have had the Motorola BackFlip, LG Optimus V, HTC Inspire, Droid Razr Maxx, Droid 4 and not one Forced a reset to root why with this phone and will there ever be a all in one tool kit like the Ace Hack Kit from the HTC Inspire that was the far best root and only took 3 minutes to unlock the boatloader,root, S-off, and sim unlock.
Its possible but why do you need that data? Anything you need you can backup to a PC, even apps can be backed up using adb backup
Besides any ROM you flash you will have to wipe before running it
I suggest doing some research on your part to understand the process better, if you are used to one click toolkits then there's a chance of you bricking your phone if you aren't careful.
Everything you need to know can be found here on xda or with a Google search
Also, this is in the wrong section. We have a Q&A section

I have been flashing rom and rooting my androids since 2010 I know that if I'm going to go and flash a rom I have to wipe everything but I prefer to use Titanium Backup to backup your apps plus the data of the apps and It's a lot faster then adb. also just so you know I'm not dumb I do know how to root the phone and everything I just prefer not to wipe my phone since I haven't ever had to in order to root.
Every device is different, and HTC is constantly updating its security schemes to make it harder and harder to root and flash custom ROMs. So you need to forget what you know about past devices, as they no longer apply, and you need to get used to the fact that its going to be more and more complicated moving forward.
Either use adb or cloud methods to backup what data you need, otherwise you just have to suck it up and do the factory reset and start from scratch after you are rooted.

I'd advise you to slow way down and not do anything until you're more familiar with this phone. It's guys like you who've gotten into the most trouble because they barge in here assuming that because they've rooted and unlocked other phones they already know what to do with this one. Then they go blundering around and hard-brick because they assume stuff that worked on their last phone should work on this one. I've seen it happen repeatedly, whether it's trying to use "universal" one-click methods that aren't supported, trying to flash recoveries and roms with ROM Manager (also not supported), or flashing ports of their favorite roms without realizing that they're for the quad-core HOX version.
This phone has some idiosyncrasies that aren't present on other handsets and you can easily perma-brick it if you aren't careful.
This has to be one of the most retarded Op's I've come across in a while.
You don't like the root method, make your own. If you can't, go buy some tissues and cry in the corner. We don't want to hear it:beer:
