[Q] Backing up stock Rom (TMOBILE UK)

Right, got my replacement Sensation with Tmobile UK branded rom on.
Having found that there are no stock Tmobile roms about, I would rather back everything up before I root this time.
How do I do this?
Once done, I'm happy to share with everyone else so no one else has to go through the same prob in the future.
If there is a kind dev out there who can help me package everything up properly all the better!!
Thanks

Thanks for the interest but I want to create a virgin backup that can be used to get back to full stock, not to S-Off

Yes, that is why I want to create one as that thread has no Tmobile UK Roms

So is this not possible? I'm sure there used to be ways of dumping off images of yr phone. May have been back on the Kaiser though.
Is there a reason why we have have so manly stock ruus but no Tmobile UK?

Anyone? Surely a Tmobile UK stock ROM would be useful to the community?

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

No you don't need to sim unlock it. The only reason you would do that is if you wanted to use it on another network.

Ok and then root it and how to install 4ext?

Who is your service provider? You could maybe double check it with them if they released the ICS update at all. (they should have though... ) You could maybe reboot your device I give it a try again? Somebody more clever might help you out...

built in updater is the same I told you.

And one more thing! You could also have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 It is about RUU (Rom Update Utility). By using these you can update your device but you need to choose the right RUU for your device. Use this if you cannot get anywhere with your provider...

The answer is written in the thread I gave you and set up by kgs1992. Read all that stuff just to make sure you are familiar with that you are going to do. :good:

Just be sure you're connected to wifi and check for updates, it will prompt you to install the latest software available for your phone and region

Yes. When you tap on the check now button, a window will appear where it tells you what you are going to download. And It's better to be connected to WiFi as it will download a bigger amount of update.

HTC One S Extra Partions WiFi

Hello fellow XDA'ers!!!!
Does anyone have links on the flashing extra partitions for WiFi on other roms? I updated (big mistake) so now my WiFi does not work on any other roms, it only works on the stock rom!!! Any fixes anyone?
Help is much appreciated!
(I want the better battery life on trickdroid!)
If you don't have links, or anything else about the extra partions, do you have any alternatives?
Thanks!

I'm knowingly about to do the same because I ran into an issue with my stock ROM so I'll be looking for a fix as well. I'll follow this thread but If I find a solution first I'll let you know.

Ok, thanks a lot!

The OTA will flash new wifi partition and hopefully roms like Viper should work.

Nope not on T-Moblie and not even in the US lol. Ya I downgraded days after it come out which is way before JB come out and when JB did come out I flashed the radio and wifi partitions. I'm Viper 2 rom and see people have issue with wifi and it seem to be T-Mobile users so for a test today I flash the radio and wifi from the RUU that I last used which was when 4.0.4 come out and wifi still worked which make me believe there is something different in the wifi partition that T-Mobile uses and my guess for that is the wifi calling you have over there.
