Right now I am running Cyanogenmod 12 on my HTC One S.
In terms of getting hboot 2.16 (to get more app storage) I need my phone to be S-OFF.
So now I am trying to get S-OFF using SunShine.
The problem: «SunShine encountered problems with your rom. Please flash a stock, or more near stock rom and try again.»
So where to find a nearstock rom? Is it the right approach to just try some random rom with sense in its name?
Thanks for any help!
The "random rom with sense in its name" you've linked is a Sense-based ROM. Its safe to use.

I have tried to go with that one. Unfortunately it seems to only work with Hboot 2.16. I do only have Hboot 2.15 ... Any other ideas which rom is stock rom enough?

There is a thread fixed somewhere with stock RUUs to download. Use them to return your phone to stock.

I feel like I have tried every rom with sense in its title. Either I suck at finding this thread you are talking about or it does not exist or it does not work? :/ thanks for your help anyway

what's up guys!
I read about a new fw for our sensation and I have few questions...
first! I use aokp roms...does this fw improve my phone experience?
2, this is a firmware, so, I have just to flash it from bootloader and I have not to wipe anything just like the 3.32 update from previous versions, right?
3 what are your impressions about this? maybe if you tell me what rom are you running...would be great! thanks...
4 what are the improvements that this fw brings? does this handle the heating problem? or is still there...
thanx a lot to everyone
Great question I'm going to follow this thread, I'd also like to know !

1. Just a difference in radios
2. Correct
3. Radio related but if you are stock I heard it fixes a lot of issues (the 3.33 rom not firmware)
4. Not sure as hasn't been reported to me

thank you very much, so...i'm not supposed to flash it until I use a stock based rom...it changes nothing...or maybe it could...I'll wait for some aosp based user's feedback
what about the stock rom...is it really better with the new update?
i'm running aokp, put the zip from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 onto my sdcard, flashed from bootloader and hey presto new firmware.
Can't say that i've noticed a difference though.

no, ok, I know how to flash a fw, I did it for the 3.32 version...thanks anyway
I'm gonna flash it...let's see if improves something
what about the sense 4 roms? any change?
So, I'm using Fallout 5.0 and it's ok, but I have a gapps.google.com error all the time and it's not working well at times. I wanted to go back to the stock ROM and just enjoy it until I buy a newer phone. But I saw that to get the stock ics ROM you have to update the HBOOT to keep root access. I really am scared to do that as it seems to really do nasty things if I screw up.
So I'm trying to find the best ROM that is closest to the stock ICS ROM that was realeased. What are my choices?

But you will have to upgrade your hboot first.
Yep but anyway, why staying on the outdated revolutionary hboot when most roms actually require hboot 2.00 2002 or 7.00.1002/2002 ?
And 6.98... is write protected.

Most Roms?! No. Ice cream saga, miui v4, stock ics. Only those Roms require a newer hboot. All other Roms ignore the separate /system/lib partition.

Use 4-EXT recovery and enable Smart Flash option to flash ROMS without S-OFF
Ensure u take nandroid backup, and update to 3.33 firmware before flashing.

thank u
i will try
Just do an S-OFF, it's a very easy thing to do. And will definitely make your flashoholic life much easier
I did and it took me like 10 mins to complete the whole thing.
Btw youb should try albinoman887's CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG it's really good one. Also search for Dragunkorr ROMs on droidevs site, he's got some of the best non-sence JB ROMs with tablet mode, dpi per app, cm+aokp+other tweaks - nice stuff to play with.
Good luck
I already S-off and rooted my phone. I just wanna know if i can use Official ICS firmware.
Where can i download the official ICS firmware for HTC Desire S?

Don't do it! It will re-flash the HBOOT, etc. You can get the official ICS through
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Desire S, version 4.0
Desire S HTC WWE RUU N/A v4.0 404.0 MB 14.01.401.2
Run the RUU up to just before the actual install step, then find the zip package in your temporary files, copy it elsewhere and exit the RUU installer. You can then modify this to have the hboot you want, to protect your S-OFF (either the ENG version 2, or the version starting 7), then put it on the root of your SD card as PG88IMG.zip and reboot to fastboot.
This will still wipe all the data on your phone.
I would strongly suggest you just flash an ICS or JB ROM from xda instead though.

You can use it, no problem, but as paulie-uk said, it's better to install custom rom than stick to official software. If you have your bootloader unlocked, than you're ready to go.

Go and read the development threads, choose a couple of ROMs that look good and don't seem to have problems and then try them out.

First of all you should check if you have Sony or Hitachi panels - check this thread for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943524 If you have Sony panel, then you're ready to go without additional preparations.
You can try blindanddumb's or flinny's CM 10.1-based roms. They still have some minor issues (especially if one has Hitachi screen panel) like problems with led notifications lights, but as a whole they're smooth and stable. Maybe one of the more experienced custom rom users will say something more about those two, or will propose others. Myself, I'm a happy user of bnd CM 10.1

I just want to say try some. I'm currently using the JellyFireBeanv2, nice and smooth. This is not a Sense ROM. Just try some, there is always one for you out there.

Thanks mate! What a big help from you! :good:
I also would like to revert to 235 official. I've used pacman 22, changed to fullysamsung 101, sagasation and now pacman 23& this one it rebooted once and drops frames when recording in 720p. What rom u recomend me custom that works flawless and is rooted?

There is no flawless rom. Try blindndumb cyanogen port. I've been using it for more than two months as my daily driver and except for some minor issues it's very good - fast, stable and with great battery life.
Just flashed and so far running almost perfectly! Loving it. Only bug I have noticed so far is that the quick settings toggle for GPS is broken. It is stuck greyed out on "Location Off", even when GPS is toggled on, and whether it is being actively used or not. Touching the toggle doesn't seem to change anything. Also along with that I just noticed that the GPS icon never appears in the status bar when being used like it would in Jelly Bean.
What launcher is everyone using? I wanted to stay KitKat based but also want a lot of the extra functionality like gestures and such. So far it seems Holo Launcher HD best fits that. Tons of customization and KitKat based. I'm missing a couple of things, mainly the swipe left for Google Now (just has Jelly Bean home page system), and the launcher font is the old Holo, so looks just a bit different than system font. But that's just nitpicking, I really like it so far. Just curious to see what other people are using.
Thanks JoshX!
This might be a dumb question, but would it be better or even necessary at all to update to the 2.15 firmware and/ord HBoot when using an AOSP ROM? The unofficial CM11 that JoshX built specifically, if that makes a difference. I ask because for CM10.2 I believe it was necessary to run the 3.18 RUU prior in order to be on the 2.14 firmware (maybe I'm mistaken about why?). I haven't flashed or done much anything with my phone until recently, so I just noticed that there is now a 2.15 HBoot. I'm running CM11 at the moment and my bootloader shows 2.14 HBoot.
Just a bit confused and was curious, thanks in advance.

That's normally the radio that handles that but keys double check. Did you do the 2.15 hboot/firmware update?

Not necessary, it's only necessary for Sense 5 ROMs.

Got it, thanks! If I wanted to update to a newer radio from that firmware though, would it still be unecessary? Just read a few times that firmwares and radios are typically bundled, so wanted to double check.

My bad, I didn't see the post in the kernel thread until after I started this thread. Will keep it to one place in the future!
The first post that's here now I did mean for the ROM thread though, it was separate from my question about the new hboot. Would it be alright if I posted it back to that thread? Thanks. Apologies again for repeating my question elsewhere.
It's basically suggested to use the radio (1.31) that's bundled with the 2.15 firmware for proper use with a Sense 5 ROM. In any other situation you can use whatever radio you want really. Anecdotally I have tested the 1.31 radio while on the 2.14 firmware and it performed terribly. That may have been confined to my experience though, you can always test it yourself. If a radio doesn't work well it's super easy to just flash another one.
