One problem with the HTC One S and any other phone without a removable SD card is that it is more difficult to recover your phone from terminal meddling.
Today I tried to install the unofficial CM 10 20120801 from the ClockworkMod website, I read a bit about this ROM from around the web and one issue that people are having is that the phone wont boot sometimes, well this is exactly what happened to me.
I tried to install the new image from the GUI first, then from recovery but it led to the same unbooting state, luckily I choose to backup the current ROM before the install, so I was able to use the awesome backup/restore function to go back to a state like nothing had happened.
This is a little life lesson when working with anything, not just slightly experimental phone builds....ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP and if at all possible automate this.....how much was that last weeks worth of work worth to you? (Doc, Spreadsheet, CAD, Program......) how much work would be required to recreate it if your computer died?
For all my (and my Boss's) work data I have an automated backup just using SyncToy and a scheduled task! It is pretty basic, but it works well and it has saved out bacon once or twice already. There are much better solutions but it works for us.
