Hey!
Now I've finally gotten my Incredible S, and so far I'm happeh with it.
But, I like to try new things and Sense 3.0 looks way cooler, better, smarter and everything and I've searched the forums and google for some answers but seems like no one have asked before...
3; (this one has nothing to do with Sense, but I still want to know...) Which official ROM RUU's from the collection thread are the European version? All those numbers and **** makes absolutely no sense at all. On the ones from Asia it says (pretty clear...) "ASIA", but from Europe I can't find anything that says the ROM is from Europe...
And by my first question I mean if it's worth doing the precedure for S-off and flash new radio (seems like that's something you have to do...) and all that.
And before someone rages; YES, I'm a noob. This is my first HTC device, and my old phone didn't have a locked bootloader so everything was so much easier and therefore I had to think less.
Thanks in advance! Hopefully someone can make me a bit smarter.
(EDIT; changed topic name and my first and second question are kinda solved for my case, now I just need to know about those damn RUU's .___.)
Hi guy,
I flashed a sense 3.0 rom (Virtuous Unity) and now i'm really happy with it. I was really anoyed by the lockscreen not so locked when you keep your phone in your pocket.
For the alarm clock i don't know as I don't use it.
Finally for S-Off that was pretty easy using alpharevx.
Hope this help.

Thanks for your reply
Well, I've gotten an answer from a friend and there's two buttons now to press instead of sliding down for turning off the alarm, and press a mini-button to snooze.
About the alpharevx, it is nothing to be worried about?
I was looking forward to a way to S-OFF my phone since I got it.
When the first beta of alpharevx was out i stayed tune and until now i never read about a bricked phone. So i would say it's pretty safe.
The only thing you have to think about is warranty void.
PS: You're welcome for the answer
Well, flashing an official ROM makes the phone S-On again (if I understand everything correctly) so that would not be a problem, I have an SD-card somewhere here if I need to make a goldcard ^^
And you don't happen to know which RUU that I should flash if I want an European ROM?
Wouldn't be so funny for me if I find a ROM without English... :/
As soon as I can find out which ROM that's from Europe and which ROM that's from Austria, I'd be a little bit less nervous about this whole thing...
Anyway, thanks for your help! Seems like using alpharevx is pretty safe, so I think I might do this anyway
Nop, don't know anything about official ROM codification.
Also interested to know if someone can explain.
Hopefully someone might answer to that question!
But, thanks for your help! Now I'm gonna have an internal fight in my mind to see if I'm man enough or not...

WWE = World Wide English. As far as I know that's the edition used for Europe.

Thanks!
And that means that any official ROM with WWE in the name and it doesn't say "Asia", then it is an European?
Sorry for asking such a dumb question, but I just want to make sure
If someone's wondering; I finally got my finger out of my ass and S-Off'd successfully on my 3rd try.
took a couple of tries before I succeed to flash recovery (pretty different procedure from what I'm used to...) but now I'm backing up my current ROM and I'm going to flash virtuousomething like that, wish me luck!
Now, let this thread die in peace. I've gotten my answers (kinda, but good enough for me) so I'm happy.
Thanks all for your answers, and I've never been this nervous in my life...
Which operator
Ok, so we know what WWE means. How do you know what operator and specific country it is for.
I am looking for the original Vodafone UK ROM.

The WWE ROMs are not operator or country specific. As far as I am aware, no network in the UK ever released a branded ROM for this phone as it's only ever been sold by third parties (Carphone Warehouse being the main one) and never directly from the networks themselves.
I use the Virtuous Unity 1.29.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid and i'm satisfied.
Well, good for you...
I just have to ask you though... what, exactly, does that have to do with this topic?

Hi guys,
I've just gone through a guide on how to unlock my phone, so awesome, Step 1 is done!
Now, with having currently an Orange (UK) based stock rom, I'm looking to get rid of it, and needing to know before I flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
What is a Stock Rom?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and I did search quickly, but nobody has asked this, and all the queries come up are people talking about stock roms.
Thank you,
It's not a stupid question, a Stock ROM is a ROM that is provided by your telecom company or the manufacturer of your phone (Like HTC), so that means a standard ROM without any of the wonderful hacks and additions the guys on this site came up with .
So when you buy a brand new phone the ROM that is on there would be a stock ROM.
Wow, thanks Mad.
Now the problem I have now, is it says "flash stock rom before flashing this", so what should I flash it to first?
I like the look of that rom above you see, and just not sure what to flash it to first.
If you bought your phone from your provider and not
second hand, it will have the stock rom on it, so you would be good to go. Make sure you read the flashing guide, and check radio compatibility with the rom you would like to use.
My preference is to flash with the sd card, rather than a RUU from the desktop. I've had much more success that way.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Criss
Thanks Criss,
How would I backup my stock rom, and radio?
Because a few people who make the Rom's are abroad, I've no way of knowing if the radio's they've used are compatible with my network provider here in the UK.
Whats some things I should look out for?
Thank you,
the search area at the top right hand corner.. Then just type in "how to backup stock rom"
Thats what I would do.
rofl, thanks Chumley.
I've just been lazy and started flashing from my Stock ROM.
Balls to it, hopefully I won't ever need to go back, but nevermind. My mistake and downfall!
I would keep a copy of your providers shipped rom around

You'll need it in case you need to make a warranty claim. You can check with the support section of their website, or the Kaiser Wiki could point you in the right direction.
No warranty on the phone, its secondhand.
I'll have a look to see if there are stock roms available through Orange / HTC for it.
Thanks once again!
The rom loads and looks lovely, shame I cocked up the theme, but i'll sort that out later when I can be bothered!
hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..
It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.
Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck
HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.
ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,
thanks for ur response.

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.
ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,
I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4360836&postcount=2
BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.
wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.
Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.
Dave
Hi all,
I have Incredible S, all from the factory (software, Sense..etc)
I would like to know step by step how to :
1- Install a new ROM.
2- Having the news HTC Sense 3.5 on it and also if that have any negatives or if something might not work.
3- The latest ROM I can install.
4- Any additional info you think I should know as I am new to Android and HTC world.
Thank you,
Michel
The best bit of advice I can give you is search, search, search! All the info you need dude has already been asked and answered so hit that search button and spend a bit of time finding it out for yourself. Best place to start is the development forum where you can learn and download many different ROMs and find out which is the best one for you. Good luck...and welcome!
yep, you are right,
but sometimes when you are totally new to something you need some help at least with knowing the name of the best ROM as I've found many of them with different issues.

Go read the sticky threads in the Dev section. You have some work ahead of you before you can flash a custom Rom.
Yes, I went, and all is ready, my PC and my mobile,
the only thing I need is a ROM which doesn't have problems and won't effect my device plus a new version of Sense.

Ok, then nandroid backup and start flashing Roms then. Only you will be able to determine which Rom will fit your criteria. What you may think is a 'problem' on one Rom may not be that big of deal to someone else, so just start trying them yourself.
Problems like WiFi, Camera, SD Card, Backlight, Bluetooth.. all these are problems which I think might be issue for all users .
only a starting name would be enough to me

I would agree totally with all of those which is why I personally have not even tried any of the Sense 3.0 Roms. IMHO the current GB 2.3.3 Rom with Sense 2.1 runs just fine on my IncS so I won't be able to offer you any suggestions.
Revolution HD has no known issues download that and stop complaining. There is no "best ROM" try them all, the only thing you have to lose is bandwidth and time.
I use Newt pyramid beta 3 sense 3.0 gb 2.3.4 its stable, crazy fast, as current as you can get, and if you check the last of the comments almost all of the bugs have been fixed.

try a new radio...
I find the 20.2810 one has great signal
Is that a newer one than I have now? I received a 30mb update recently. Any negatives effects with it, battery life?
My current radio is 20.208.30.085AU_3805.06.03_M

yeah it's the newest. I think it works perfectly and has the best signal of all the radios I've tried
Right, I might have to look into that, just hopes it improves things for me.
I'm still considering returning the phone though due to the signal drop outs, I'm a bit reluctant to root or do anything that'll stop me from being able to return it. Can I take it that running an RUU will put everything back to stock, including radio and S Off?
Yes. If you root using AlpaharevX and not a permanent root using a gold card then flashing a stock RUU will bring you back to S-on. Give it a go, I did, happy so far and have the stock RUU downloaded and ready to go if need be.
I don't think I need a Gold Card with it being a sim free unit? So it should be just a case of following this guide http://is.gd/5wKZRZ and then flashing a different radio?
If I don't like the results then I should be able to run an RUU to get me back to stock?

Back up your current ROM just incase you f*ck up and get going flashing some ROMs I only flashed Android Revolution HD yesterday after asking the community a few questions and look forward to seeing how it goes, check out some of my posts for some of those questions if you want. If not happy will try something else and always have a carbon copy of my original stock ROM to restore if need be....simple
Hi all, This is my first post so please be gentle!!
I have searched the forums but dont really know too much about what I need so please forgive me if im going over old ground.
Basically Im sick of waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update of my HTC One from 3UK.:crying: As everyone else is getting their update 3UK have changed their tune numerous times about weather the update has been pulled, Is in testing, Is being rolled out or now low and behold its back in testing again. They never give a straight answer and after tweeting them someone else has reccomended changing my CID? to allow me to ge the update.
I have been reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and I was wondering if this is indeed what I need to do. If I follow the instructions in this thread I understand it changes the CID on my phone, but how do I then go about getting the 4.2.2 update?
Where would I get it from and would that affect any future OTA updates. I dont want to root the phone as Im quite happy with Sense 5 I just want to be able to get the 4.2.2 update without having to wait for three to push it.
So basically can I use the procedure in the link above to change my CID. And after doing this where do I then get the update from. Do I then just check for updates??
Thanks in advance for any replies!

Use Revone to s-off and unlock, change CID from H3G__001 to HTC__001, flash the unbranded RUU, updates will appear when available on your device.
Use search for all of the above, unless someone else wants to give you the links..

The reason why Three are taking long is because they're loading it with their logos and bloatware.

My mum's a GP, if she ignored all the people who came in asking her the same questions every day, she'd be out of a job and would have some pretty sick patients
OP I appreciate you're new but you could have found the answer to your question yourself without posting this. You won't get any carrier updates from 3 until 3 release them, even if you have superbloodyunicornCID, isn't that obvious? All superCID does is allow you to bypass regional ROM restrictions. The only way you're going to get 4.2.2 before three release it is by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a stock 4.2.2 ROM. All you'll probably do messing about with your CID is brick your phone, and then you'll have to spam the forums more.

Hi. You will have to change your CID and whilst doing anything of this nature carries a risk, it's a very low one.
I too was stock brand with 3. Follow one of the many video guides to use revone and get s-off as suggested above. Then download the stock wwe (world wide English) RUU and follow the on-screen instructions. The one I used was a standard 1.28 version. Again, use one of the great guides on here to download adb and change your CID to htc__001. Bear in mind there are 2 underscores there. You're phone will then see a small update and then again will recognise the 4.2.2 update.
That's if you want everything official. Mike1986 has a great guide on all this as does vomer in the android development thread.
If you want to run a Rom using 4.2.2 then it's just as simple, I personally was using mike1986's android revolution.
It all sounds daunting but take your time and follow the guides and you will be fine. It's very difficult to brick these phones.
Always make a nandroid backup before doing anything just in case.

Hi,
I am a compulsive tinkerer who has just found out that I can tinker with my HTC one international (without getting oily hands from a bike or car lol!)
I have dipped my toe in the water and hope someone can give me some recomendations as I plunge myself in to world of custom roms and enhancements.
Currently I am running a stock 4.2.2
sense 5.0
software 2.24.161.1
Super cid 11111111
Hboot 156
S-off
Latest trwp recovery.
I would like to try some custom roms but because I am still wearing my L plates want to keep things simple.
I dont want to have to flash new firmware (yet) I just want a rock solid custom rom that will give me an newer version of android but is inlikely to cause any hereditary problems that are tough to solve.
I also want to rid myself of the OTA update reminders that plague me now I am custom recovery.(I dont fancy reversing what I have done so far to allow the OTA's work)
I am not sure there is answer to my request although I am certain there will be a raft of suggestions based on personal taste,I just want to go through the process as gently as possible until i get more daring and confident!(BTW I have made a backup in TWRP FYI)
I cant see this question being asked before and sorry if its a dumb one or one thats controversial by flag waving for particular custom teams.
I didnt have any problem prepping my phone to this stage...but this forum and you-tube made it relatively easy!
