How to update HTC One S to Android 4.1+ Sense

The next paragraphs that you’ll read below contain the steps you must follow to upgrade your HTC One S to the Android 4.1+ Sense ViperOneS 2.2.0 custom ROM.

To be able to do that, you should first consider these guidelines: do a factory reset and after that a wipe out of the phone’s cache in Recovery Mode.
Then download the on your laptop and update it, with the help of OTA, to the 2.2.0 version we are using.
Next up: be sure to plug the HTC One S to your laptop with the aid of that USB cord we previously included in our list pf pre-requisites.
Go to the ViperOneS 2.2.0 custom ROM you saved on your PC and send it over to the phone’s SD card root. Go to the device’s “Settings” next; there, tap “Power“. Now uncheck “Fastboot“. Continue by powering your handset off and then downloading (file name: Boot_Flash_Script_ViperOneS.zip) on your notebook.
Unzip the necessary zip file; you can do that via an unzipping tool. Save the content of what you just extracted here: C:/ partition. Then do as follows: press and simultaneously hold the buttons called Volume Down and Power. Wait while your device shows you, on its screen, Hboot Menu.
Then it’s time to do the following: go to the Recovery Mode by using the button for Volume after you’ve let go of Power; now press Power. When you are in the Recovery Mode, you should opt for “Install zip from SD card“.
After you’ve made that selection, you have to opt for the update firmware and confirm via Power. This is the action that will begin the flashing of that file on your HTC One S.
Your next move should be this one: go over to the place where the boot.img Flash file directory is; then launch Command Prompt. Make sure you type in the following (only if the notebook runs Windows):
flash-boot-windows.bat
Should your PC run Mac instead, you need to enter a different command, which is:
flash-boot-mac.sh
In case the laptop has Linux on it, type in:
flash-boot-linux.sh
