Since you are rooted now you can just flash a new splash screen, HERE's how to do it.

thanks alot man, wondering you have any idea why it did that though??
also may i bother you , and ask if you can get me original splash screen for g2 from yours?

Awesome i feel special now Lol...Hmm well i think its caused i used an older method.. as when i got this g2 it was on 2.2 with wifi calling.. and i think the hboot i used was for pre ota... in the end i got perm-root and all just still kinda scared bout it

I used the same method with OTA, and didn't have any issues, but that is a relatively minor issue, at least its fixable and everything else is working ok.

Hmm is there the stock splash screen anywhere? im trying to put original... then one on the first post is mmcblk0p19.img is that the original splash image.. if so can i just fastboot flash that... or do i have do the whole ffmpeg thing

[Q] Help Downgreading 2.43.661.1 TElus DHD

Hi All,
I tried using the 2.37 downgrade guides, including the Indian version , and of course no luck. Just wondering if anyone is working on the build 2.43.661.1 version.
My Phone: Telus DHD
Android version 2.3.3
Build/Software Number 2.43.661.1
Thank you all very much for your amazing work.

I rooted DHD any shiprom. No need to downgrade...

So thanks for that nt1303. However, I don't understand what you mean when you say "No need to downgrade" because your guide looks like you're downgrading to a lower version of the stock ROM. Anyway I haven't tried it yet. I also have a Telus DHD with build 2.43. I might give this a try tonight.

Won't work,
look at the last comments in the thread

Well then... that sucks. I guess we'll just have to wait until someone cracks 2.43 Ugh I don't even know why I upgraded to Gingerbread... got overly excited :\

Has anyone ever thought of downgrading to 1.84.661.1 (Telus stock Froyo)? It's an idea that's been floating around my head, but I haven't wanted to try in case i somehow screwed it up and broke my phone...

My wife did the 2.43 upgrade to her phone before I got a chance to root it so she is also stuck at the moment.

Just out of curiosity,
Does the gold-card flash a non-branded PD***.img not work with this latest update?
My understanding is you could use the goldcard method to force your phone to downgrade to a stock, v1.32 ROM, then use the rooting software to s-off, then you can flash any custom rom.

Hi
I was trying to downgrade my DHD but I could not.cause my bootloader does not work.I mean when going to bootloader the phone completely gets frozen and no key works.
help me please.

If you haven't flashed anything yet, just pull out the battery and stick it back in to restart it. It probably just means you don't have root access to your phone.

I have tried it several times,unfortunately there is no use. I have even tried factory reset!

Maybe I am not following you completely...but why would you try to take an OTA when you are unlocked and rooted?
Second, I don't believe there are any OTA updates for the Vzw One as of yet.
It looks like you attempted to install an update for the European/International HTC One.
Why you are trying to do so, I'm not sure.
But you don't wanna install that, even if you could...

Well, I assumed you had the Verizon HTC One, since you posted in the Vzw One forums.
If you have the International One, you may wanna post in the relevant forums.
Folks will be much more capable of helping you with roms/software intended for your model over there.
The OTA will not install while you are unlocked and running a Custom Recovery.
Try finding a rooted version of the latest OTA version for your device in your device's Development forums.
That would be the best, most appropriate way to update the stock software while staying rooted and unlocked.
Good luck! :good:

Thanks! I haven't yet.
I have gone back and forth about it quite a bit. (still thinking about it every day, lol)
Can't really give up or don't want to give up my Unlimited though.
Since someone was very kind and gave me a DNA a little while back, I may stick with it for now.
Still a vast improvement over the 'ol Thunderbolt, though I loved it too for quite some time.
There has been some talk of some very kind folks pitching in to help me get a One though.
So that way, I can keep my Unlimited and hopefully work on both the One and the DNA in the not too distant future.

HTC One X G-sensors not working all of a sudden!

Hey guys... My friend bought an HTC One X second hand. It is rooted with what seems to be stock 4.0.3 Sense 4.0. The phone is also S-OFF and everything.. I will post pictures of it.
So here's the deal:
My friend was watching a movie but suddenly he felt as if the screen wasn't rotating... Now (According to AndroSensor App) the magnetic field, orientation, gyroscope, accelerometer etc... In short.. All of the GRAVITY SENSORS and the orientation sensors aren't working.. They are DETECTED by the app but say "Waiting for event"
tried hard resetting and everything. I have put many Custom ROMs in phones before. So i can flash ROMs etc if i have to
I have attached the pictures about everything and need help.. Alot appreciated thanks.

you should update it first, that is a very old version, you should have updates available. as it is s-off you can flash anything you want but I think you will need to update the hboot first, once that is done you have a lot of options available to you

Go to settings and check for an update. What we all recommend is that you send it to HTC, all untampered One Xs should still be in warranty, so send it to them, if it can't be fixed they'll send you a One X or a One X+, or sometimes they could send a HTC One if you're lucky :/

Oh alright! Btw if i flash a recovery via fastboot, then i am able to flash (say) a custom ROM Sense 5, 4.2.2 right? Just asking for it i will update it by OTA (provided there isnt a custom recovery... Since i didnt check that) :/

Oh i'll get right on it when i get my hands on the device can i request you to stay put to this thread? Cuz i will report back here

if you flash a custom recovery you can do anything you want, ie flash a rom, sense or no sense, or flash back to stock and because you are s-off you can even change your cid to install an update from a different region.
this can go on and on and people are starting to repeat themselves and you have had all the information you need to move forward. so what you need to do, as you say you cannot fix under warranty, is :- let the phone update via ota, this will update everything including the rom, the version of sense and the hboot. then once it is finished with all ota's available you can install a custom recovery( I recommend philz touch recovery or the latest twrp) and then you can flash all the rom's or mods you like.
and if you find you still have a problem with sensors check @HTC Venom signature for a possible solution

Try to do the hard reset after couple of days. Once you feel your device is warm enough. Chances to get them back gets better with time

i got them back except for temperature sensor....althought i did this thing several times, but once it worked out...i restarted the phone by long pressing the power button, even after the TURN OFF menu appears...on the start screen pressed volume down button to go in safe mode, all sensors started working, then i restarted mobile to come in normal mode.
working fine uptil now, i dont have restarted or powered off after that. so dont know if they will keep working after restart or again same problem will occur
all the people having same problem, just keep on trying restarts, safe mode, factory reset etc etc most probably they will start working. its just hit and trial

[Q] Radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Is this normal? Need help
I just recently purchased the m8. I did lots of research learning everything I could before doing any modding. So today I decided to unlock my boot-loader so it was my first time getting into recovery. But when I get into recovery I see both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Its never been modified and I got it from t mobile and was the first to open the device. Not a second hand phone. Is this normal? I've been googling for hours and cant find any information. Its been sort of difficult getting any help in the htc M8 help threads honestly. If anyone can shed any information I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't noticed any thing wrong with my phone out of the box and everything about the functionality of the phone has been stellar.

I think something is off on that phone. I unlocked and s-offed mine and the only thing different was the os is blank but everything else was fine.
But if u have no actual problems with cell reception or audio then maybe u just need to update the firmware to latest after u s-off and that Will fix u up. More than likely.
Let me know I have done a lot on my phone allready. I even switched it to a dev edition just to get the 4.4.3 firmware and then flashed my backup back to my Rom of choice.
I'll help if I can. I notice there ain't many people helping on this forum there all on the international forum

I understand about the s-off but really it's the best thing to do because if something ever goes wrong there will be nothing stopping u from fixing it.
Also I was gonna suggest taking it back but they might trip on the unlocked bootloader and if u fastboot oem lock it Will say relocked. So they will know. But it's worth a try. T-Mobile doesn't seem like they know anything about technical stuff. so if you try to explain to them they might look at you like they don't know what your talking about.
I seen the picture if it is still locked take it back. And show them
Your firmware is allready the latest so that's a factory f-up.

More than likely. I got charged 50 bucks one time and I couldn't even fight it because they sent it in and my Bill went up I wondered why so I asked and they said because of modifications all they did was exchange it but I still had to pay. Try it or relock it and do the ruu for that firmware. And see if it will take off the tampered flag and fix the ver info

No apology needed. Thank you for helping me out. I was able to s-off and get everything back to stock. Boot loader locked not "relocked" , s-on, unrooted. But the "invalid version" message was still there. I just came back from the tmobile store and they ran some diagnostics and said there was a problem with the software. They exchanged it for me and I checked it before I left the store and this one is perfect. I even asked for them to run the same diagnostics and everything checked out fine. I'm gonna do even a little more research before modding this one. I'm a little nervous now ..lol....but again thank you!!! I really love the M8. I came from the galaxy note 3 from att and sadly att locks the boot-loader on it. I love the note 3 just not on AT&T. I'm trying to sell my AT&T note 3 to buy a tmo version.

That's great problem solved.
now u know u got a good device.
I love the m8 too. I got mine first day it came out at T-Mobile.
First thing I did was unlock and s-off then recovery and root. Till some roms came out then I went to Bad Seed Customs Rom and that's it.
I've tried a lot of the roms even the new stock with elementalx kernel will last all day.
There's a whole lot u can do but most of the info is in the international forum.
Anyways glad I could help.

First thing I did was unlock and s-off then recovery and root. Till some roms came out then I went to Bad Seed Customs Rom and that's it.
I've tried a lot of the roms even the new stock with elementalx kernel will last all day.
There's a whole lot u can do but most of the info is in the international forum.
Anyways glad I could help.

Weird bro...now I go into boot loader with this phone and I'm getting the invalid ver message again. I'm still unmodified with bootloader still locked. I haven't even connected the phone to my computer yet.

Lol....I'm gonna keep it. I think it's software related. Nothing wrong functionality wise just like the other one. And I went to a different tmobile store for inventory purposes and lessen the chances of me getting a bad phone. Like I said I checked it at the store it didn't have that message. And they ran diagnostics and it read clean. I'm just gonna flash away lol

Some research needs to be done to figure it out. I know I'm not the only one

Probably not but everybody just gets to unlocking and s-offing so fast they probably don't notice.
It's probably just the ones coming with that firmware out of the box.
When I got mine it had a different version.
