Is there a way to enable CallRecorder on IncS to record clean sound from both sides from line, not from mic, because the sound is very bad? I found THIS site and there is sad that "Requires the kernel with 2-way call recording patch"? I tried but cannot find anything about that, anybody know where to find that kernel, or is there some other application that can do call record with clean sound? I tried couple of them from market but none is good. Thanks.
Unity kernels have 2wcr patch. There's app in first post and mirror in last.
Thank you. You mean on THIS therad? I have Incredible S v.2.3.5 sense 3.0, stock ROM, rooted, unlocked bootloader with HtcDev, S-ON. Is this compatible with my device? I just need to flash form CWM/install from zip? Where i can find stock kernel, if something go wrong to return to stock? Thanks!

Yes sorry I forgot to post a link. As you are s-on, the easiest way to flash this kernel is to replace your cwm with the latest version of 4ext touch recovery. To restore the the stock kernel, just restore the boot.img that you backed up as a nandroid in 4ext before you flashed unity But you should have no issues.
Thanks again. I never used 4ext touch recovery, is necessary to flash kernel with that tool or i can also do it with cwm? I already done nandroid backup from cwm.

You cannot flash a kernel with cwm on a s-on device. 4ext is very easy to use. You will have to redo your nandroid as I don't think the cwm backup method is compatible with 4ext.
So i just install 4ext, beside cwm, wright?

Download the app in the 4ext thread and flash from there.
I downloaded 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk and install from there, everything went ok but when i boot into recovery it's still CWM, not 4ext, what to do?

You need root access, then select online install. I don't know if you have done either of these things as your post contains insufficient information.
Yes, i have root access (superuser) and i selected online install, and installation went well, installed 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC3 (latest). But, when i want to boot into recovery (power+volumedown), phone boot in CWM (which i installed 2 days ago) instead of 4ext. What i am doing wrong?

The app should give you a copy of the 4ext recovery in your downloads folder, you might want to flash it manually. The app gives options to reboot into recovery, you might need to use it.
I use the option in the app to reboot into recovery, but it rebooted in CWM. How to manually flash the 4ext?
Ok, i used 4ext file from download folder on phone and flash the img with fastboot flash recovery command and now i have 4ext touch recovery. Now, i boot into recovery, choose install zip from sd card, and install UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 from my sd card, and i will have unity kernel, right?

Use the app to flash the kernel. Make sure you have s-on smartflash enabled in the recovery settings and create a backup first.
"S-On: 4EXT SmartFlash - This setting is unavailable for your device". This option is greyed-out and i cannot select it?

Hmm, did you tell the app you were s-on when you installed it?
I don't remember i sow that question during install, can i check it out now, or re-flash and tell the app that i am s-on?
edit: i just re-flashed and there is NO question at all, just installing and done!
I found this: "This is done when you install recovery and answer the question that you are s-on with "yes".
You can also change that setting later on via RecoveryControl -> Recovery settings, or by editing 4ext.prop manually"
How to edit 4ext.prop manually?
I found that file on sd card and edit it, now is s-on=yes (was NO) but nothing changed. I reboot and recheck 4ext.prop and there is s-on=NO, again. I send mail to madmaxx82 and this is what it say:
"yes it's like that. Your device is unsupported by SmartFlash, because it's technically impossible on your device, which means you need to flash kernels/boot and even recoveries with fastboot. Sorry, but there is absolutely no way!"
So, can i flash UNITY kernel with fastboot with s-on?

I guess you could try booting the recovery in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
and flash the kernel.zip from there, but this method is unconfirmed on our devices.
Otherwise you will have to go s-off if its that important to have this feature.
Ok, thanks. I want to try to downgrade and gain s-off.
In your thread "[TOOL][SCRIPT][20 Feb 2012]S-off for HBOOT 1.16 and above v3.1" is a link to RUU used for downgrade. In that RUU the radio is 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03 and i have higher radio (20.482.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M). Somewhere i read that downgrade the radio can brick the device? Or that can happened only if try to downgrade with lower version of android, like from Gingerbread to Froyo? I have Gingerbread, like the RUU for downgrade. Can i safely use your script to downgrade and s-off my device?
Alright. Short and simple.
I want to flash twrp recovery via zip file using hboot method. I am s-off. All files for twrp are in .img format. Is there a .zip flashable file available?

You can't flash recovery in recovery. I mean, think about that for a moment.

Well. Lets clear a few things here. Recovery zips for flashing on locked bootloaders are common. (sony xperia z).
As i said i am s-off. Means I can access files and can flash unsigned zips. However to flash recovery on a locked bootloader but with s-off i need to flash it from hboot fastload.
I cant do it from the adb shell sinc ei am not rooted. But what i can do is have the twrp zipped flash file. Rename it at "PN07IMG" and put it on the root of sd card. SO when i boot into bootloader the file is recignized, picked up and flashed creating partition. Since i am s-off Partiitons can be accessed.
Once i have done that, i can flash unsigned files from recovery as well via zip.
Now, If there is a twrp flshable zip file for those who want to flash via zip I would be thankful

Aha. I see what you mean now.
I did something like that with my One X, but I haven't seen anyone doing it with this phone, sorry.
there's no need to re-invent the wheel here. Unlock your bootloader with revone -u
flash your recovery.
rebootRUU mode would probably work, if you knew how to write the android-info.txt file, but nobody is going to do that because you can unlock the bootloader without any trouble.
It won't wipe your system if you do it with revone.
if you are interested in CWM... here is the link for you:

So I updated to all stock 4.3 GE but can't flash the needed superuser zip. Do I need to flash a custom recovery than root and after that flash stock recovery back? Is there any way to root with stock recovery directly?
Thanks.

Yes, you need custom recovery for root. No need to change recovery back until the next update is due at which time I believe you will have to unroot and go back to completely stock which can be done by running the RUU again.

I believe you would need to flash CWM or TWRP then flash the superuser.zip then flash back the stock recovery afterwards.
can someone post the superuser.zip?

You can't backup stock recovery if you don't have S-Off.

Yes, you can backup your stock rom with CWM or TWRP, but not the recovery. Recovery and rom are two different things.
Do you mean it's possible to boot a custom recovery without even unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev, i.e. without losing the whole /data filesystem? If that's the case and you haven't unlocked yet, would you mind creating a full backup along with /data and posting it somewhere? I'd really like to know what's missing in the backup I made after unlocking.
Also, it might be possible to read the recovery image from its partition using dd within a custom recovery. I know no specifics, though, and it's just a guess anyway.
so say i upgrade my rooted htc one once the ota update becomes ready.. what happens? i dont want to end up with a bricked phone.. would it harm my phone in any way?

An OTA update will not work on a rooted phone! For the OTA to work it needs stock recovery, stock rom and all of the files that it is attempting to update. If anything is missing then it will error out and return to your present setup.
and to complete what majmoz already said, if your rom is 100% stock, and you have flashed back your stock recovery, the phone will update fine but you will loose root. You'll need to flash a custom recovery after the OTA to re-root the rom.
Guys you're very helpful and i must thank you for that. i am on the official 4.4.3 rom so i just need to restore the stock recovery? how to do that? and will the current rooting method work on lollipop (and should i follow the same steps to install clockwork recovery)? Will the ota update relock the bootloader?
i'm sorry if i'm asking too many questions but i don't trust any other forum.

If you have not modified anything to your rom (Kernel is stock and always was, you have not deleted any /system files and you still have or restored all the content in /data/preload (wiped during bootloader unlock), so yes all you need to do is to flash back the stock recovery that match your version.

You always flash the recovery using the same commands, stock or custom, on all versions its always:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache

OTA updates will never affect the bootloader status (S-ON/S-OFF, LOCKED/UNLOCKED/RELOCKED)
