Htc Desire S Stock Rom Download
.What is Android Flashing?Android Flashing means removing stock firmware (Software) from android device and replace with same version or any other version. Simply, flashing means changing the operating system. You can flash your device with Recovery mode or Flash tool.You may upgrade or downgrade the Android firmware with flashing. Flashing will fix software issues, IMEI related issues and improve device performance. Flashing delete all your device data like photos, contacts, and apps, etc.HTC Phones ListSelect your mobile below to download the latest HTC flash file for your phone.
After typing this out more times than i can count,i have decided to make up a thread for it,and stick it up top. Hopefully this will end some of the confusion about fastboot booting recovery,why its better,and what you have to do if you opt not to take advantage of its benefits.if you have not rooted yet, consider using the guide here,as ive tried to eliminate some of the confusion from htcdev's page,and using it will give you some basic knowledge and tools that you will use in happily modding your s-on device. Youll also potentially have an understanding of fastboot booting your recovery into phone memory,as it is the same thing as what the guide instructions are for a 'temporary recovery'.most folks that have come from other devices are used to the following sequence of events:1)root phone2)install a custom recovery(generally clockwork mod,or AmonRa)3)booting to that recovery to make and restore backups,flash roms,etc.
Since the root method generally gave access to all the phones different memory partitions,many of wich are modifiable via the custom recovery.even worse,are folks who have come from different devices and used an app called ' rom manager' to manipulate things from within the booted operating system. I am not a fan of rom manager period,even on phones that it works on.unfortunately,the above is a recipe for disaster on any s-on,high end htc device.to begin,a few words about htcdevhtcdev is htc's answer to the publics cry for unlocked bootloaders,and the ability to modify and install custom operating systems on their htc devices.basically,you send information to htc,and they provide an unlock token that is reusable,but unique to your device. This changes the locked lettering at the top of your hboot screen to unlocked,and gives you access to the /boot,/system,and /recovery partitions only of your phone. It is not s-off by any means,and there are still alot of checks being done by the phone,wich lead to disadvantages. Most notably,you cannot change any other partitions. Hboot,radios,and splash screens are protected and off limits. You also cannot roll backwards in software build numbers and firmware if you flash a leaked rom and dont like it.there are a couple of advantages.1)unlike the underground exploits used in the past,htcdev will always work.
Firmware Change/Update HTC Desire S. How to update. Let's start with a few things that we need know before downloading firmware needed for your phone. OK, I know there's stuff out there on this - but tbh I can't understand it. I have a UK HTC Desire S on T-mobile. I used the official HTC download.
You dont need to worry about unrooting and not being able to root again. If you need to relock your bootloader and flash factory firmware,you will always be able to re-unlock with your original unlock token.this makes it convenient for users that only want root access so that they can run a few root apps(titanium backup,wifi tether) and delete some bloatware. The folks that like to run stock,and recieve OTA updates can easily do so by keeping the STOCK recovery on the phone.as long as the stock recovery is in place,you are not in danger of an OTA messing up your phone.rezound user: but,wait!
Wont accepting an OTA break my root?!scotty: yes,but thats not a big deal. After the OTA has finished,you can quite easily relaunch your temporary recovery,and re-flash your root files,just as you did when you first rooted. Re-rooting is easily accomplished,and therefore nothing to be concerned with.2)the other big advantage of an htcdev unlocked s-on bootloader,is that since the bootloader is protecting itself,and the radios,it is nearly impossible to hard-brick(i.e.,unrecoverable) device with software flashes. Any damaged to the phones filesystem are almost always fixed by RELOCKING the bootloader,and running an RUU(factory signed software package)modding your s-on, unlocked devicefirst and foremost,remember this:.an htcdev unlocked phone CANNOT write to the /boot partition FROM its /recovery partition.what this means is that,unlike your s-off evo 4g,thunderbolt,inc 1,or just about any other htc device you may have messed with,the rom that you flash from a recovery that is permantly installed on your phone cannot install the boot image. Since the boot image houses the kernel, the roms kernel is not being installed along with the rest of the rom.this means that if your rom requires a different kernel than what is on your phone, it will not boot. It will hang indefinately at the splash screen.there are a couple options to work around this handicap with s-on phones:1)use juopunut bear's tool to s-off your phone. Doing this makes your phone and recovery act like you are used to(recovery can/ write to /boot) but does not come without consequence.
See this post for more info:2)flash the kernel manually. It can be done with the command fastboot flash boot or it can be done by placing the boot image inside a PH98IMG file and flashing it in hboot.PH98IMG flashing is a PITA on an s-on phone,in my honest opinion. The information on the 'android info' text document inside the file must contain the correct info or the phone will not let the file flash.
This leads to much aggravation,confusion,and an overall very bad rom flashing experiencetherefore,the better way to flash kernels,IF you want to do it manually,is to use the fastboot flash boot command. To achieve s-off:1)unlock via htcdev,install root2)run juopunutbear to achieve s-off. There is not a step by step for s-off,as all you do is run the tool,then do the 'wire trick' when prompted. My advice is to use a small spare sd card rather than your good one,as issues with the sd occasionally pop up after the process.more info on s-off here:if all you want to do is run the stock rom,you dont really need to be s-off.
Htcdev works fine to add superuser access and you can even leave the stock recovery on the phone so it will recieve OTAs without issue.if you want to flash roms,and are intimidated by the wire trick,you can always use the directions here to flash roms while s-on. Hi scotty85:Thanks for your reply.Can you verify the procedure to flash RUUICSGlobalPlus4.03.605.2v.1.2odexed.zip?let me give you Step-by-Step:I need the following file on MicroSD Card root:- RUUICSGlobalPlus4.03.605.2v.1.2odexed.zip- PH98IMG-global-firmware.zip- PH98IMG-ra-recovery.zip- OldFirmwarePatch.zip1.

Closeif you flash the firmware,or full ruu,you will no longer need the old firmware patch,as you will no longer be on old firmware. So you only need these 3 on the root of the SD:- RUUICSGlobalPlus4.03.605.2v.1.2odexed.zip- PH98IMG-global-firmware.zip- PH98IMG-ra-recovery.zipalso keep in mind that flashing from permanent amon will not install the kernel,so if the rom youre looking at does not contain the stock kernel,then the flash will not work unless you fastboot boot amon.so your steps might look more like this:1. Rename PH98IMG-global-firmware to PH98IMG2.
Press Volume Down, Power to flash PH98IMG3. Pull MicroSD Card to computer and rename PH98IMG-ra-recovery to PH98IMG4. Press Volume Down, Power to flash PH98IMG.5. Pull MicroSD Card to computer and delete PH98IMG.6. Flash CleanWIPE1.0-10x-Rezound7. Flash RUUICSGlobalPlus4.03.605.2v.1.2odexed from fastboot booted amon10. Profit!!!you can use the cleanwipe script if you want,but you dont really need to.
Despite the recomendations of some folks(devs included ) to do so,a plain old wipe of data/cache/dalvik cache works just fine. Electronic wiping does not leave behind bits of info,like crumbs on a counter,that need swept up multiple times.

Hey Scotty, got a question for you. I've followed the directions to get S-On unlocked.
Now I've flashed Newt's One rom, thought it was cool, then flashed Nil's business. Didn't like the keyboard or the battery. So when I went to try to flash back to Newts, my hboot keeps trying to update some 'pg' file before I can even select recovery. (if I said 'no' to the update, it wouldn't let me go back to bootloader, just had me reboot). I had to take my sd card out and delete this file from my sd card before it allowed me to go to hboot and select recovery.
So I put Nil's back on since Newt's was now stuck on the loading screen.Using Nil's rom I was able to use my computer to get back into the bootloader with the commands. I now wanted to try Ineffabillis Deus which stated I needed to fastboot flash the boot.img. So I extracted the boot.img from the downloaded rom zip to the folder in your tutorial, then typed 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' just like the Rom's site says to do for S-On. The phone then rebooted and went to Nil's rom, so I then restarted the phone in recovery, and flashed Ineffabilis Deus from recovery, it said the installation was successful but now I'm stuck on the loading screen again.Am I doing something wrong here?
Why is it that Nil's is the only rom that will install properly now and everything else gets stuck on the loading screen after installing a rom?Now since Indeffabilis Deus is not loading, when I Power+Volume down into hboot, before I can go to recovery, it automatically asks if I want to start update for 1 BOOT (guess that was the boot.img), when I press no, I have to reboot again;( Guess I need to delete that from the SDcard again on my computer.' Still trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Ahhh I think I see where I was messing up, was a lot of information i was taking in and I missed this from the OP'i.e.,launching recovery from fastboot lets the rom install the kernel,and requires no seperate kernel flashing. This means that when you are following a rom developers install instructions,you can follow the set for s-off devices.'
So basically, since I perma flashed my recovery I don't have to unzip the boot.img and fastboot flash it? I think the way I'm understanding this now is, I have to use the computer to fastboot into recovery, then I can unplug it and wipe/factory reset everything, then install from sd zip file? And that should work? Or am I suppose to use the computer to fastboot into recovery, then flash the boot.img, then install the rom from Amon-ra?Also after I perma flashed my recovery, hboot now shows 'TAMPERED' in black above the 'UNLOCKED' is this normal?Also, if I want to go back to the stock rom but stay Unlocked S-on, do I have to download that and flash it? Ahhh I think I see where I was messing up, was a lot of information i was taking in and I missed this from the OP'i.e.,launching recovery from fastboot lets the rom install the kernel,and requires no seperate kernel flashing.

And that should work?correct. That should workAlso after I perma flashed my recovery, hboot now shows 'TAMPERED' in black above the 'UNLOCKED' is this normal?yup,perfectly normal. Tampered comes from installing a custom recovery,and will disapear after an RUU.Also, if I want to go back to the stock rom but stay Unlocked S-on, do I have to download that and flash it? Scotty - You have helped me greatly to root my sensation in another thread and advised me to look here with regards to flashing a new ROM with s-on so here I am. It is because your guides are so clear, straight forward and easy to understand that I am asking your advice/opinion on the following:-I saw this ROM on another site which claims to be able to -turn your HTC Sensation into powerful HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio technology and 1.5 GHz dual core! Which is indeed fantastic and kind of what i wanted to achieve by rooting my phone, i.e. Make it run faster.
In your opinion is this possible?If so, it also says - It's necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM - however your guide doesn't mention flashing new fi rmware as fa r as i can see.As i said, your advice has helped me get to this point so I value your advic e/opinion on t his - also if there is a different ROM you would suggest then please let me knowCheers.

Glad the guide was helpful.first off,firmware=hboot,radio,and a few other hardware related bitsthe firmware patching is likely a scenario unique to the rezound,where a firmware change between GB and ICS neccesitated modifications to run an ICS rom on GB firmware,or vice versa. If the roms that youre flashing do not mention the need to be on 'hboot x.xx' or make mention of any other specific patches to flash,etc. Then it is not a situation that you need to worry much about.i believe the desire s did get an official ICS,but you likely are on the newest firmware,wich hopefuly most roms would be designed for.ill look into it and see if i see anything,but in the mean time just make sure you read the rom install instructions for special steps,and you should be fine. Hey Scotty,A new newb here. I've been doing as told and read, read, read, reading as I embark on the world of root.
Htc Stock Rom Download
So far I have followed this thread and others and have unlocked and rooted (su) but I'm still s-on and struggling with a debate to go s-off or not in my head. I've been looking at ROMs for the Sensation 4G (see phone description below) and i'm getting a little confused.
So, that being said, I had a couple of questions for jedi master.1) I loaded CW recovery into RAM as you instructed and all went well. I've done a nandroid backup and in looking at the backup folder, i noticed there was a recovery.img file. Since I did this backup just after unlocking, would this be my STOCK recovery? Should I save it for future flashing if needed?2) I noticed that using the s-on techniques, I can't SuperCID. Okay maybe I can live with this. How will this limit my choice of ROMs? My stock rom is 3.32.531.14 but I don't see many based on this rom.
I would like to try CM9 and CM10 but I don't know if they are compatible. I see that RevHD is based on 3.32.531.14, is this the better choice? Is this the kind or question that should drive me to s-off?You guides have been awesome! I am an old time DOS and Windows programmer and have programmed some instrumentation so the cmd approach is very comfortable for me. I don't like the mystery of letting some super program do the work.
Train hands down definitely deserves 10/10, the setting combined with the perfect atmosphere sets up for a very thrilling experience but also a sense of realism and how it feels like your just playing a horror game, but that your in the horror game and your experiencing. Aug 14, 2013 The Train is a first-person horror game in which the player controls a character that wakes up, without knowing why, inside a railcar. And it won't take more than a few seconds for you to realize that something's not right. The train horror game for pc.

As long as you are on ICS firmware(you are) then you can run any ICS rom. The biggest issue is that you cannot downgrade back to gingerbread firmware,if you wanted to run a GB rom. Tho in all fairness,unles syou constantly like to mess with and tinker with things,there isnt really much of a reason to go back to GB. Ive run cm10,and a couple of the sense roms on the stock t mobile firmware.having said that,there are a bunch of factory ruus for the sensation. I started running european ICS onths ago,prior to functional cm or t mobiles release.IMO its almost required to be s-off and supercid to compeltely enjoy such a wonderful phone as the sensation.
Both are easily reverted back to stock if you need to.just do your research and be sure youre comfortable doing the 'wire trick' as alot of folks are somewhat imtimtaed by it.its commonly misconceptualized as a 'short sircuit' causing a 'soft brick' but thats really not the case. Youre just grounding a certain pin in to complete a circuit to put the processor into a special diagnoistic mode.my advice if you want to attempt s-off,is:1)use a small spare sd that you dont care about2)make sure youve looked at,and are familiar with all the instructions on jp bears website,and especially the troubleshooting tips:You guides have been awesome!
