Does anyone know how to flash clean firmware on 8s?
Is there a tutorial?
What do you mean by clean firmware?? Remove the software branding?
is there any way to "root" or something this phone? I love my htc 8s but you can't do nothing with it
What do you mean with "nothing" ? You can do way more than with standard WP7 . Most of the stuff you needed unlocked rom in wp7 is now allowed/available in wp8.
Tho some things are still "locked" yes, but theres no custom roms yet.

You can developer unlock your phone to side load apps...
Nokia Music or something that would not be available normally...

You'd need an exploit in ICS 4.0.3 itself to do that and we don't currently have one.

lol...please NO!! brainwash
you cant do root here easy way because HTC doesnt wont us to do so. ... thats all and simple as that. with another brands like samsung is the process short and easy. blaim HTC ...
android is open source... ICS 4.0.3 its not the problem at all!
If you really want root follow the tutorial at htcdev.com to unlock your bootloader and then follow one of the tutorials on how to install a custom rom (those are basically always rooted)... I'd wait for an S-OFF though.
Some pretty useful guides in Development section...
I found them fairly straight forward with no hi-cups along the way.
Always prefer a challenge over a click of a button
Well for me I would like to root, but I dont want to loose warranty. Altough I want to get rid of soe annoying apps HTC brought with the phone like flickr and 7digital.
You will get back your warrenty if you un-root your phone.

Not sure what you're on but you can't root a Samsung phone from inside Android without using an exploit which is exactly the same as HTC and what the OP was asking for. You need to restart the Samsung and put it into the bootloader same as on a HTC.

Not if you use HTCdev to unlock your bootloader, they keep a log of your device, regardless if you re-lock it.
They'll still replace your device if it's a hardware problem though.

As long as you revert back to stock rom and flash stock recovery you should be fine. Don't see the need to relock as it'll just show unlocked what signs will we have that we've flashed a custom firmware? On SGS devices we had a count number but using a jig we could wipe this back to zero and return to complete stock.
Hey guys,
I wanted to ask you for your opinion. Will there ever be wp7 or wp8 based ROM (windows phone)?
I love that UI, but I love my HOX to and don't want to spend money on another phone. So what do you think?
no, closest you can get is a windows phone launcher

And there is no way to port windows phone as a ROM for HOX?
No simple answer.

that's difficult, but the biggest problem is to avoid the registration code, cause WPs has a kind of product key so we can't port anything without it
You will need a custom bootloader in order to load other operating systems on a phone.
This means a customized HBOOT. Sadly, we don't have S-OFF for the One X so a custom bootloader isn't possible to begin with.
That, and you just don't program a custom bootloader within a couple of weeks time.
Simple answer: hell no.

This may seem like an obvious idea, but are you making sure your actual phone is in fastboot mode? (Step 10 under unlocking your bootloader in the tutorial linked above.) Usually when I get this it's because I forgot to do that, assuming everything is connected.
Do you have windows 8?

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I have a HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim bought in Australia and I unlocked the bootloader without rooting, but now I have received the interim update for Android 6.0 and cannot apply it because of my unlocked bootloader. Can somebody help?

I suspect I have a broken TWRP for Android 4.4.4, the stock firmware of the phone. I downloaded the most popular one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-820/general/htc-desire-820-root-easily-t2913064) and didn't realise it wouldn't work with Lollipop. Since then, I have not been able to use HBOOT on bootloader or boot in Recovery mode. And just tonight I attempted to flash the linked TWRP but it didn't work. It just did what it always does when I hit Recovery - boots into Fastboot. Can you help?

The phone is a HTC Desire 820, single sim, Android version 5.0.2. I made the dumbass decision to root it and after trying to update android and almost bricking it, I would like to return it to stock. I have TWRP 2.8 i believe... I am in over my head here tbh...
