[Q] Do I Need S-off to flash a sense 3.5 rom?

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine got a IncS with Hboot 2.00.000. I know how to install recovery by using the adb and fastboot. But is it necessary to S-off your phone? The phone is bootloader unlocked by htcdev. Is there any rom sense rom with beats audio where i don't need an S-off?
Many thanks to you!

I think you can flash the ROM's with S-ON, but you'll have to flash the boot.img manually trough fastboot.

Okay that's no problem for me.
For the one's who don't understand the question, you need to extract the rom after flashing and flash the boot.img in fastboot. You need the Android SDK Kit
Open CMD and go to your folder where you got the sdk it installed and enter then the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hi all,
I ve unlock bootloader via htcdev 3weeks ago bcause i need my Inc S is root. I was followed all instruction how to root Inc S hboot 1.16.but my boot still S-On. I ve root with CWM and finish root. I ve root,clear all data,and put costum room and finish instal rom.
Q: after finish install new costum rom I reboot and loading with Htc logo for 10minutes and not changing anything w/ my inc s.i am.confuse my phone cant load.what my problems help me guys since hboot 1.16 cant s-off

Manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot.

I think it needs a sticky that you can perfectly flash a custom rooted ROM with S-ON.
Oh, and also a sticky that you have to put the back cover on to get a good signal.

Mine is s-on, and running virtuous affinity rom with sense 3.5, as above, need to flash boot img through fastboot. Took a while to remember this when I flashed the quattro rom :banghead:

[Q] Hboot 1.57 OS 5.11.401.10 reboot loop

Hi,
I just got a brand new HTC One 7 (WWE, CID E_11) after my last one died. Im trying to root it and install a custom recovery to install arhd or insertcoin. I used htc one toolkit for this. Everything seemed to work ok, but after booting the installed rom (ARHD or insertcoin) the phone reboots after i see the login screen. I somehow managed to reinstall my phone again yesterday, as it was a complete (soft) brick.
I used this to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
Now does anyone know why I get a reboot loop? Does anyone know if i installed this stock rom if I get the normal OTA updates again? And do i need to relock the bootloader for this? I would really like to install stock roms again but I'm a little anxious after yesterday. (I've installed custom roms since the old HD2/HTC desire, and also on my old HTC One M7, never had any problems, I think it has to do with the Hboot).
Hoping to hear from you guys,
best wishes,
Olaf

Flash the stock firmware 5.11.401.10! I think your firmware is mismatched.

By flashing the firmware after installing the Rom I might fix the bootloop? Or is the stock firmware necesarry to go back to stock? Sorry bit confused, thanks for your response btw

Flashing the firmware might fix the boot-loop, since you flashed the stock rom! If it does stop the boot-loops, you can re-install TWRP or CWM to get the custom recovery.

when using a sense custom rom you need to make sure you use twrp 2.6.3.3 recovery, do not use the toolkits, most of the time they are out of date and not updated, this would explain the bootloops, take the time to learn how to use adb and fastboot, you'll never look back.
nothing to do with the firmware and no need to flash it, if your firmware was knackered, you would have a hard brick.

First of all thanks for the quick response. I know how to use adb and fastboot (at least I think).
If i would (in this order) do the following, would that be correct?:
unlock using htdev
Flash twrp 2.6.3.3 using fastboot command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (naming twrp 2.6.3.3.img = recovery.img)
reboot bootloader
Flash SuperSU.zip in TWRP
reboot twrp
flash custom rom (ARHD).
The thing is it isn't a normal bootloop (which normally would come with the HTC logo all the time)
It reboots when I try to setup the phone (in the setup menu). Restoring the phone with the link in the OP, ive recoverd my phone, but I would still love to use custom roms again.

unlock using HTC Dev
flash TWRP 2.6.3.3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery
no need to flash super user it will be included in the rom you flash
flash custom rom, or stock reset rom, if its not rooted, twrp will ask you if you would like to root upon exit.

It seems that insertcoin had a problem in it's installer:
http://insertcoin-roms.org/category/devices/one_m7/one_sense6/
the changelog says: Fixed SuperSU install (might solve the sudden reboot issue in SetupWizard)
It left me without any rom to install, so i had to sideload ARHD, which it didnt want to install via sideload... The next step I isntalled stock again, which I'm using right now.. but I miss xposed framework and other tweaks too much..
I'm gonna try to unlock it again this afternoon and install insertcoin again, but this time ill make a backup first. Does installing the recovery wipe anything?

no it doesn't wipe anything, but you can use xposed and its tweaks on stock rom, you just need to root first, just install TWRP, enter recovery and again upon exit it will offer to root stock rom for you.

Am out of ideas

check the Frequently Asked Question sticky page 3

Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3 and then flash ARHD again.
Then let it restart. Remember the first boot can take a while....sometimes 5 minutes sometimes 10. Just wait patiently.

[Q] Stuck on boot with Insert Coin 7.0.7 (unlocked bootloader + twrp + s-on)

HTC Butterfly S (901s) (HTC_622)
Unlocked bootloader S-ON
Hboot 1.57.000
TWRP - 2.8.5.0
Hello. Would somebody be so kind to help me with my case? I've read a lot of topics and googled even more, but still no luck :crying:
I had unlocked my bootloader and made a full wipe of everything I could). Installed [UNOFFICIAL][RECOVERY] TeamWin Recovery Project 2.8.5.0, flashed InsertCoin 7.0.7 for Butterfly S from their official site via aroma and after successful it stucked on boot or just boots into bootloader. I've tried fastboot erase recovery (failed "not permitted"), fastboot erase cache, flashing boot image one more time, installing [5.0.2] GP's Kernel v1.2.5 and still nothing.
While trying everything I can, I managed to wipe stock rom completly, so now I cant boot to use adb, I can operate only through fastboot.
I really looking forward to any advice from the community((
May be I am using a wrong recovery or I need to flash another HBOOT? Or I even do not know...

If S-ON, need to flash boot.img again.
You can find it in the zip file.
Try it.

maybe a bad download of the rom? did you try to download it again?

Solved!
So, I managed to solve this. May be someone could use my steps to solve similar problem.
After I had failed to boot IC 7.0.7 I decided to try to S-OFF my device and tried it with rumrunner method, but it failed on 8th bottle, nevertheless I've installed Falter kernel because RR method had a conflict with my stock kernel. After that I tried to install IC 7.0.7 again and installed boot from the zip through TWRP, not from adb and it finally booted.
After that I've installed new 1.25 kernel and now everything works flawless.
Thanks everybody, who tried to help me! + karma))
