Can someone suggest a decent s ON rom for this phone ????Im unlocked but it seems all the roms are for s-off THANKS
Any ROM, listed for ur device (ville-S4 or villeC2-S3) can be flashed even if you have S-ON.
With S-ON, after installing your ROM from your phone custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), you will have to manually flash the 'boot.img' file within your ROM zip from a PC. Guides are available for that.
With S-OFF, installing the ROM takes care of the boot.img file as well; no PC needed.
That's the only difference as far as I know.

Hi. I rooted my phone with this tool: http://www.unlockroot.com/
I wiped my current android and tried to install a rom (not matter what rom i try, it's stock on the HTC logo when booting)
A nandroid/cwm backup might be able to fix the problem (I'm not sure) but i don't got one, and it would be very appreciated if someone could take a backup and upload it
Do you mean you need to flash back some stock ROM you had on the phone before wiping the data?
What about to flash (via CWM) some of the pre-rooted stock ROMs available here:

Try to run an RUU and then put you costum roms on you´re device again
I prefer this RUU "RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed".
I've got to sell my Sensation XE. I've done S-OFF, perm root, 4ext recovery, firmware update to install ICS by Android Revolution HD. Now I would like to delete perm root and install a stock rom, so the person that buy my phone can do OTA update without provlems. How can I achieve this? Thank you

stock recovery image file needed
Hi, needing a bit of help here to restore stock recovery on my Sensation so I can catch OTA ICS update from Three uk. Phone is rooted with revolutionary custom recovery. I need a copy of image file for my software version: 1.45.771.5 so I can use Android Recovery Manager.
All help greatly appreciated!!!!
Any stock recovery should do the job, it doesn't matter whether it's from a 3 ROM or not.
Can your not stick the OTA .zip on your SD card and flash it via the custom recovery, though? I've done that via CWM on a couple of other phones.
Thanks for the reply Rusty, unfortunately had no luck using both methods you suggest, must be doing something wrong
Hello, I have a problem after S-OFF my One S, describing a problem:
I decide to s-off my one s, I'm on stock rom jb witch newest hboot, do everything like in tutorial, supercid etc. and finely got S-OFF :good:

I turn on TWRP chose instal zip and it starting and after 2 second stopped with failed operation. I tried for rom thickdroid and viper checked md5 and file is OK. After failed flashing the phone cannot start, helps flashing stock ruu jb from .exe file and it flash without any problem and then work but if I try ones more the problem is still happen. Any idea what is happen ??? thanks for any idea and helps
Use older version of TWRP or use latest CWM recovery instead - TWRP version 2.4.3.0 does not work well, not sure about 2.4.4.0.
you've got a right, on CWM everything working and I can flash rom
Hi,
I want to root my Mate7 but I am not comfortable with messing with recovery. What is the way to backup stock recovery so I can put it back with fastboot flash recovery after rooting is done?
Thanks.
Hi xtonda - the package going around for unlocking/rooting the Mate7 currently that contains the recovery_b60.img also contains a copy of the stock recovery.
If you follow any of the guides available (off hand I can remember http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/ from the other day, but plenty guides available on XDA and elsewhere) the tools/driver package includes the stock recovery.
Flashing the stock is done in exactly the same way as flashing the CWM, just with the different file.
So you'd unlock, flash CWM, root the device, then flash the stock recovery again
Cheers - hope that helps!
Hi, I found two guides to root Mate7 here and each has own package with CWM recovery and some original recovery. However these original recoveries are not the same so I am not convinced that they are exactly the same as the one in my device (obviously at least one of them is not) since there are several Mate7 variants and ROM version and is unknown where these "original" recovery images come from. That is why I want to download original recovery from my device and flash it back after rooting.
Or to boot CWM recovery only temporarily without flashing it, I found that it should be possible using "fastboot boot" command. Is that possible?
Hey, so I installed newest oxygenOS 2.1.4 for oneplus one which cames with its own recovery...I want to go back to cm12.1, don't have backup so I want clean and fresh installation. Now I am not sure what is the best method to do it without problems or bricking my phone, alot of people are bricking their phones when reverting back to cm12.1.
I want to know few things and can't find it on web, can I flash TWRP recovery without problems? Saw posts where people get into bootloops when doing this. Should I download fastboot zips and install it via adb or flashable zips and install it with recovery. If I choose flashable zip than I need to download kernel and modem also right? Or if I choose fastboot zips and don't install TWRP, would there be any problems because right now I see oneplus logo when I am in fastboot so I assume its their version and people said its buggy and flashing ROM with it is like playing russian roulette.
This is so confusing to me and I can't find those answers in flashing guides.
I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 to go back to 12.1 than installed custom ROM
