[Q] Which ROM's should i install?

Hi everybody. I recently bought a HTC One S z560e it says on the box.
I documented on wikipedia and that is the S3 processor variant.
My question is that: S4 roms will work on s3(i doubt they don't coz of CPU architecture), i have seen some ROM's(threads) in which the developer doesn't specify whether is an s3 or s4 ROM.
I have also seen the HTC One S C2 variant.. what is that?
I know that the codename for htc one s is "ville" but i have also seen "ville2".. which one is the s3 variant?
Tnx in advance!

hi. s4 roms will definnetly not work on your device. you need to look for roms designde for the s3 processor. as you were wondering, the s3 process variant of htc one s is also called htc one s c2 or villec2. any rom that is compatible with any of these names is good for your device.
but....you should first root your device. good luck

Thanks for quick-answer. I managed to root my device and now i am trying to install hboot 2.15 for 2.4 kernel (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42540922) but unfortunately i can't manage to install coz it says can't pass signature verification. hmm

This is not a kernel for your device.
Here you will find everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2138

I have another question then.. The Hboot needs to be updated in order to make 3.4 kernel based roms to work? or how can i find what hboot version i have? in bootloader mode it says that i have 3.0.0 but i don;t think i'm looking where i need to.

The bootloader you have written HBOOT.
Here are kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402148

And how i install the kernel? in recovery mode?

Yes, through recovery + boot.img via fastboot

and how i write? "fastboot flash recovery boot.img"?

I wrote by mistake fastboot flash recovery boot.img... the phone rebooted but wi-fi wasn't working so i gone back to fastboot and i reinstalled recovery properly then i "fastboot flash boot boot.img" now my phone is stuck at htc one logo..
However i managed to do a backup earlier, i entered recovery restored the whole backup but it stays the same.... what should i do?
Any guide to reinstall stock ROM? to get a fresh start?
Tnx in advance!

If you are able to get into ur custom recovery, all should be under control...
I was in the same situation as you when I rooted my phone and went for custom ROMs... Here is what I did...
1. Confirmed that I have indeed an S3/villeC2 phone.
2. Confirmed that I have minimum HBoot version required for the ROM mentioned below.
3. Went into Thread for Luxandroid ROM and installed the ROM as per instructions. Luxandroid is the ROM almost same as stock.
4. From within the downloaded Luxandroid ROM zip, I extracted boot.img file, connected my phone to pc, booted in fastboot usb mode... And flashed the extracted boot.img with 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command.
On booting into system, my phone came alive.
Also know that the HBOOT version you see in 'bootloader' window, is related to your phone firmware. You can't update it by flashing kernels. It has to be through RUU and/or OTA updates released by HTC. (google for more)
A boot.img, contains the kernel, which should match the ROM you have or have recently installed. Else your phone will either keep constantly restarting or will get stuck in HTC One S screen.
You should also know that If you are S-On, when you recover a back up from TWRP, you will have to flash the related boot.img from PC as well. If you are S-Off, you need not.
Viper C2 | Liberty Sense V4 | S-Off

I have Hboot 3.01 and i am not quite sure how do i downgrade.

Why do you want to downgrade HBOOT?
Hboot 2.09 - Android 4.0.3
Hboot 2.11 - Android 4.0.4
Hboot 3.01 - Android 4.1.1

I didn't wanted to express downgrade..... it don't work(4.1.1 ROM) that's why i asked for a downgrade... now i am trying to install Luxandroid from the site with bulletproof kernel v1.2

Good choice :good:

Btw.. i read that the word TAMPERED need to be above ***UNLOCKED***, but i dont have that word, any means?

Tampered be the model of S4 processor.
You have UNLOCKED bootloader, ROOT and RECOVERY?

I don't know if the phone is rooted right now.. i have twrp that is on the luxandroid site(2.3.3.0)
I have done everything it says, dow it says on luxandroid site. How much should it take to boot?

Booting from 10 to 15 min.
During installation you follow the instructions?

yes i followed but i think i will start again because i installed the boot.img from luxandroid archive..
At the kernel install, i install the zip in recovery then in fastboot boot.img, after this i must install again the zip?

HTC One S Bricked HBOOT 2.13

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to return the Mrs' HTC One S back to stock but I seem to have bricked it instead!
The phone is running HBOOT 2.13 and RADIO is 1.11.50.05.28 and S-ON.
To return it to stock I relocked the bootloader and then attempted to run RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
Unfortunately I got the 131 error and now the phone is left without a ROM and only boots into the bootloader.
How do I fix the phone? I believe I need to find the correct RUU but for the life of me I can't seem to find one that works...
The phone is simlocked to T Mobile UK.
Thanks for your help guys!!

First you must instal Htc One S Ville Europe 2.31.401.5
Instal Europe_3.16.401.8, after 2.31.401.5

Hey null0seven
Thanks for the suggestion.. Unfortunately I'm still getting the 131 error when trying to use the 2.31.401.5 RUU.
I think I need a T-Mobile UK RUU in order to get the phone working again.. Do you know of any that you can link to?
Thanks
Robbie

Hello, you forgot to "S-off" your phone.
I find that to get SuperCID and S-Off only works if you have a ROM that has Sense on it. Try this:
Download ViperOne Rom and in install it. (Hopefully it will load and bootup)
If it doesn't get past the Logo screen go into the "Bootloader" on the phone (Power + Volume Down). Connect it to your USB and make sure it's says "Fastboot USB". Extract "boot_hboot2.15.img" in the ZIP (in Kernal Folder).
Put the file in the same folder in your Fastboot/ADB . Type in "Fastboot Flash Boot boot_hboot2.15.img" and is should allow you to start up the ViperOne ROM.
From there you should be able to do your SuperCID and S-off. (Make sure your Rooted, SuperSU, and Busybox is installed before doing SuperCID and S-off)
barbudaniel20 if you just want to load up a ROM that is designed for 2.15, then just find the "boot.img" in the ZIP file of the ROM and then got to "Bootloader" type "Fastboot Flash Boot boot.img"
That should load up your ROM. S-off allows the ROM to automatically install the boot.img to the phone.

Thank's for reply valky. The phone runs now on viper rom but with signal problems and is not s-off 'cause i don't succed in this action. Maybe I don't find a good tutorial. Did you know one good?
PS: Maybe I have to flash back the stock rom and after do all these, s-off, root etc.? Is possible if I didn't remember which was the original? I can flash wathever I want? :S
PS: I want to solve that problem with the signal..

Viper rom actually installed? Then use rumrunner.us to set the phone S-OFF. Once done you can install another radio version.
BTW whats the specific problem with the reception / signal ?

I will be back next month with my s.off news thank.s for site.
The problem is that I use my phone for 2..or 3 hours and after that I have to restart it because I lost my signal and I.m unable to make calls .. and I think that I can fix it by flashing another rom but I have to succed first in s.off.. then I have to chose one good rom

You can install any HBOOT 2.15 rom with S-ON. S-OFF is only needed to flash custom radios or HBOOT 2.16 roms.

Can't flash anyting to my One SV, help(I want to revert to stock)

Hello guys,
As you can see from the title I am in some deep trouble. The device I have is the HTC One SV 4G LTE. This is not my personal phone, a friend gave it to me to see if I could fix it. I got the device with S-OFF, SuperCID, rooted, I downgraded to HBOOT 1.01(or atleast I think I did it), I am using a stock deodexed 4.2.2 ROM(the one from old.splatterhand), Soft Number 3.11.401.1. The phone has a problem with the radio and you can't really talk because the only thing you hear is a robotic voice. My idea is that if I can revert it to the stock ICS software, kernel, firmware this would be fixed(my friend updated to JellyBean and this problem with the radio happened). He actually had some authorized services try to fix it but they only ended where I am now. I can't seem to install the ICS RUU because I get an Error 158(wrong image), now I get error 170(no connection). The only thing I can do is fiddle with the CID and flash a new recovery. Anything else gives me <remote notAllowed> in ADB. I tried the PL80IMG thing with the full rom from the RUU and the ones that were with some downgraded HBOOT but to no avail. I get wrong Model ID. Does anybody have any that does not involve selling the device for spare parts(or running over it with a hammer)?BTW the device is from Europe, Balkan region and it's now unbranded.

I managed to flash the stock 4.2.2 kernel and some stock recovery and boot IMGs but I can't seem to apply the OTA update. The baseband is that of the 4.0.4 ICS K2_UL and when I tried to install the corresponding RUU it says that the model ID is wrong... Any ideas?

Case closed. Extracted the firmware zip from the OTA, opened the android-info.txt and replaced with my CID, rezipped and flashed using RUU commands in ADB.

Trying to install 6.0.1 dev edition

Hi there been a while since I've flashed stuff on htc devices and i'm trying to get dev edition 1.55.617.4 rooted odex rom on my device, i'm s-off and super cid rom installs but won't boot, i'm presuming its boot. Img or firmware related? Just after info if I extract boot. Img and firmware from the rom and flash separately will this solve the issue and will it remove twrp?
Currently on dev edition 1.12.617.6 CL639737
Thanks for any advice

Change the SUPER CID to BS_0001, install the original RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_HIA_AERO_UL_M60_SENSE7GP_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.56.617.1.exe, then proceed to install the TWRP and Root with Windroid.

Hi there it won't let me change the CID to what you've stated above it says invalid, also the link i think is for the ATT version, i'm in europe so believe i need the GSM version ?
I can change the CID to HTC__001 for example but not what you've quoted...
Really struggling to get my phone updated to 6.0.1 i've only had it a few days tried numerous methods but not getting anywhere fast I thought if i was S-off and Super CID you could pretty much flash anything as long as it was for your correct phone model ?
Hence me presuming my issue was more boot.img and recovery.img related ?
I downloaded the official Dev edition RUU from the HTC Dev download section but that won't install either...
Getting confused i'm sure i'm probably missing a pretty easy step somewhere...

I think you have the wrong forum ?

Got it sorted in the end, changed the info.txt file in the firmware to suit the phone, even though it said it failed when installing the firmware it had actually installed and then the 6.0.1 dev edition rooted rom installed... Happy days...
So i'm not sure if the Mid or Cid was the issue but either way when i changed the info.txt file to suit it worked...
