or i need to go back to stock and install CWM make a new backup ?

Any other solution ?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] MrCzAjNiK:
You must back and then install.

Hmm ok

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] dbts25:
You can install your xrecovery backup with CWM. There is option for this
[XPERIA X8 General] newdon07:
can we install and use both recoveries in a single rom???
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
Most new ROMs have them both installed but If you haven't, install DualRecovery.zip from the multiboot thread in the development section.
[XPERIA X8 General] Hobbes2099:
CWM vs xRecovery

I don't want to hijack the OP, but I wanted to understand what the difference between xRecovery and Clockwork Mod.

I originally understood xRecovery was developed as an alternate to CWM because CWM couldn't access certain section of SE's firmware. Am I wrong?

How come we're seeing xRecovery and CWM used together now?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] codfreak:
CWM is using a newer type of update-script and it can do more than xrecovery, but this scripting method is more complicated and must be configurated for every device, and I guess that´s why some of the X8´s ROMs are still using xrecovery/amend scripting.

So it´s better when you have them both.

BGR reports that the next nexus device will be a lte at&t device with a 720p display, dual core clocked at 1.5 or 1.2 gz and will come will Android 4.0 ice cream sandwhich. The camera is only 5 mp but is beleived to be advanced and shoot very good pics. Hopefully it is made by HTC. It is expected in november to be the premere device for at&t. This device seems worthy of a replacement of my inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
If it's nexus I don't think it can be made by HTC because nexusbis made by Google... but I honestly don't think this is real because lte devices are not coming out for ATT for a while. 2013ish
[HTC Inspire 4G] kgeissler:
According to AT&T's website LTE is coming out this year:

"AT&T began trials of LTE in 2010 and we plan to launch LTE commercially in 2011."

http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/why/technology/4g-lte.jsp
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
They claim that but it may take longer then that. I'm just saying.. the device he speaks of could be true but I doubt it
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
So, you are really mistaken.

The Nexus One was made by HTC.

The current Nexus S is made by Samsung.

Google does not actually build any phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
Ok I didn't know I was misinformed

LTE is being released in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta and Chicago this Summer.

New devices will roll out this summer as well.

Upgrades

Does any one else here get upgrades every 12 months?
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
I get them as part of my corporate discount. But I paid full price for my Inspire, so I am still eligible for an upgrade.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
On my first line they are 12 months (mine, of course :-) ). My other 4 lines take about 16 months.

[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Same here! I can't seem to figure how some of my Verizon buds can keep a phone for 2 years............. Plus I use my wife's upgrade every once and while when I am bored.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
If does get LTE, I say it is a toss up between Verizon and ATT. I would initially think it would be Verizon, as they have not had a Nexus device yet. Then again, neither has ATT except as unlocked devices. They might initially release it on Verizon, then turn around and release it for ATT. Either way, it would be a "killer" LTE device for either carrier, if not both. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
The only thing I am waiting to see is the battery life on any LTE device released for AT&T. I don't think I can live with 8 hours a charge....... Hope Ice cream sandwich would improve that! Also what if any extra charges there will be for LTE speeds on AT&T. I don't care about data caps, as I am on wifi at my office and at home.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
While I thought it was awesome the first time I got 22 hours on 75% of my charge (impossible with AT&T bloat), I intend on using my smartphone as a smartphone.... I had to recharge my Blackberry every night (sometimes through the day) I had to charge my iPhone every night (sometimes through the day) and now I have to do the same with my Inspire. I guess as long as I enter into the relationship with any smartphone with those expectations, I can only be pleasantly surprised by anything better.

I currently own a rooted and over clocked Motorola backflip thanks to jr0dd's rom (dear god i love this rom) and im learning the terminal on my phone and i was playing around with vi and i realized i had no idea what my esc key was any help would be appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Oh my, isn't that a stupid thread title.

Your phone doesn't have a specific escape key, the terminal emulator app maps it to an existing key like track balls or volume keys.

Where it is mapped and how it is changed depends on the app used, which you didnt say \o/.

[Galaxy S II General] TheBishopOfSoho:
Hi there, Ive had my SGS2 for a couple of days, and had nothing but hassle. First off is a 10 second delay in unlocking the phone when I press menu/power.

Second is battery drain. As an example, I had the phone charged fiully at midday today, now, Im at 54% with minimal use (checked email 3 times). 50% in 4 hours or so? Im currently running Litening 1.3, previously KE7 and originally Vodafone BUKE1. The phone is also rooted. Had the same issues on each one.

Seems to me that the handset is faulty.

Anyway, spoke ot Vodafone and they are swapping it out tomorrow (I ahvent told them I rooted/flashed roms). I just want to get the phone backl to original rom/original kernel without root. How do I go about that? I tried flashing BUKE1 and its stock kernel but root was still mentioned in the kernel version there in the info screen in About Phone. What do I need to do to completely revert the phone back to stock and wipe it completely (apart from resetting the binary counter, Ill fight that fight when they call me)

S
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Flash original rom .

Source possible on dev section branded roms likewise binary counter removal post .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] TheBishopOfSoho:
In terms of removing root, is that done with flashing the Vodafone kernel and deleting the related root apps like superuser and busybox that are left on there? Specifically the mentioning of the "root@" text that was left in my kernel version in About Phone Information screen...

S
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
root@" text that says root not rooting is Android signature .

Any flash of full firmware removes root .

Installed with microSD and the tool win32diskimager :o

- 3-la Rom flash10.1-android2.2-20110416-v1001 " flash works, but problem of Ethernet, WiFi and more webcam "

She no boot not any more on the SD

Function menu + power for usb does not work any more the recovery: to power + home either buttons: Home + Round Button of the face of the touch-sensitive screen + Power, nothing either

I tested all the buttons in combination with power no result.

And last attempt, defused(unsettled) the tablet and disconnected the alim. (24 hours) absolutely nothing. :confused:

Thank you in advance for all your ideas, I stall ….

How about the serial number on the bottom edge of the TF, does that match up?

If you go into Settings>About tablet>Status>Serial number it will show a

[Desire General] undercover:
Facebook and Twitter is the only way to speed up unlocked bootloader process guys. You want publicity, not private conversation. So it's quite pointless emailing htc, we had a win, now we need to make sure that potential customers are aware that HTC is taking it's time in keeping their word, so they hold back on the purchase. If sales figures drop, HTC will pull the finger out and will HAVE to do something about it. PUBLICITY. REPUTATION. SALES. That's what we need to address. Make sure that you mention that even average Joe which doesn't want root can be affected, as if company doesn't keep up to promises, they do it to EVERYONE. Mention that they lied about Desire getting GB (well, calling it lie is exaggerating a bit, but we want to make it look bad, and I hope you heard the news), so average Joe can't expect to have his HTC phone to be up to date for the whole length of the contract (normally 24month in UK). Make customers think before buying, even if takes only one week for all the customers to decide, HTC will definitely notice it, and will realize what sort of impact small group of unhappy customers can cause.

Also, as a lot of us hang out in other forums (i still pop in to Desire forum now and again), i suppose we could start threads there with links to this one, or just quoting it, so we get a lot more people to help us (we are a small group of Sensation owners in the end of the day). I do believe that even Sammy, LG, MOTO etc. owners will be sympathetic to our cause and will help us to become louder.

THANKS LADS.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Erm... I got lost somewhere in this but from your first sentence, HTC are unlocking their bootloaders. I don't get what this whole thing is about.
[Desire General] killyouridols:
Yeah, I don't get this either. Are you asking for Unlocked Bootloaders like Meaple suggested? If so you are about a month behind. Already been announced. If not, I'm lost.

KYI
[Desire General] undercover:
I'm a very patient person. I did wait for unlocked bootloader quietly, but seeing how HTC is messing about with us ( GB update for desire ) I lost all the trust in them. So my thought is to put as much pressure on HTC as we can, or they will assume we forgot about it and will let it go on and on and on.... My 2c.
[Desire General] undercover:
It's been mentioned, not announced. I believe announcement involves ETA.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Sensation will probably get an unlocked bootloader with the next (bigish?) update.

Same with Flyer perhaps if that is locked?

other devices will probably not be updated unless there's another big update - as it stands the people that were threatening to leave to SGS2 were the ones targeting the sensation and sensations bootloader - with all the rooting abilities in the wild at the moment - what's the point of changing the rules and playing field? just leave them be to use unrevoked and alpharev etc. ?

Personally I'm thinking that I'm happy with the thoughts of an eventual unlocked bootloader policy, open source for sense bits, and a possible update to the desire, (being the last update we'll see!)

Anyone get the feeling that sometimes if you ask for too much in one go you get nothing at all?
[Desire General] undercover:
I completely understand what you are saying Lothaen. I had same opinion untill i heard about all that Desire GB business. It confused me a lot. What was the point? Anyway, while i'm a big htc fan, all i've seen from them so far is just talk. I do understand that releasing updates takes time, but i feel if they actually were in the process of doing it, at least they could release an explanation of how they are planning to do it, and why it will take some time. See, some communication does wonders sometimes. At the moment to me it looks like a dad/mum who can't be bothered to explain things to the child sort of a conversation.

Customer: i'm not happy, i want unlocked bootloader,

HTC: you can't have it

Customer: tantrum on the floor

HTC: ok you can have it ("just shut up")

Customer: any idea when please?

HTC: you'll have it....

Customer: i want my GB update for a Desire too, you promised

HTC: no, you are not having it ("not bothered to make an effort")

Customer: tantrum on the floor

HTC: ok ok ok, have it

Customer: but when?

HTC: you'll have it.....

Don't really mind about Desire, as it's unlocked so we can do whatever we want to it, but a lot of customers are not rooted, so they are stuck.
[Desire General] Meaple:
No company explains things. They can have a road map or what ever it's called but that's about it. You can ask them personally when stuff will get released but you will get "soon". That's how it is and always will be with ANY company. Don't just think it's HTC. I think they are a wonderful company that release some really nice products. Just because in the past 2 months they have said something twice and people have responded badly to it and demanded them to change their decision doesn't make them a bad company. It just merely suggests that that company has made a mistake and changed it's mind. If they turn out products that there is no unlocked bootloader or they won't release an update like they said they would then their reputation would massively go down, they inevitably would lose sales and would be back to square 1.

And as you nicely put

they have the option to root their phone. Not just for the Desire but other phones as well.

I seriously don't get it. You seem to have some personal hatred for the company just because they have made 2 mistakes and them mistakes have been rectified.... seriously now.
[Desire General] undercover:
Oh no, there is no hatred. Sorry if it sounds like that. As i said, I'm a big HTC fan, and I love their devices.

What confuses me, is all these promises, then u-turns, then u-turns on u-turns. :)

I should have probably explained that this is a copy/paste from Sensation forum. All I would like to achieve is HTC to speed up unlocking process, or at least give us some information. We are a minority (people who root phones ) so we have to involve an average Joe to be noticed. Quick promise without any more information I just can't consider as a serious statement.

At the moment it looks like they are trying to shut up people who are not happy with thing HTC are doing, so their Facebook page is not filled with negative comments. Saying that, some of the posts are atrocious, I always say that swearing doesn't get you anywhere.

Absolutely love my Desire, especially after rooting it, so Sensation didn't really live up to expectations. I truly believe that devs can improve it x-fold.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Well it is how it is and you can't change that. I think when a company goes back on itself in a good way for the customers is a good thing and you should expect good things. Like I said, company's will say something and then not release any information really. They might when it's close to releasing it but other than that it stays quiet. Purely because other competitive company's will keep tabs on each other. It's just a matter of waiting really.
[Desire General] undercover:
Have to disagree with your first sentence. We did force them to change their decision on locked bootloader (i hope) so things can be changed if a lot of people ask for it.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I totally agree that you want the sensation unlocking and that'll come 'soon' (hehe)

big outcry number 1 achieved that goal - shouting about it to get it sooner is probably not going to help.

as someone said htc didn't really have to go back on their decisions - and a lot of companies probably wouldn't have anyway - but the Sensation is brand new still - in fact it isn't even available here till next week on any network apart from vodafone if I read rightly - so you'll probably have to give them a month or two.

You know when you buy a PC game (or probably xbox and ps3) and as soon as you install it it says you must download a hotfix or patch and its day 1 of release, you think 'geez, they have to patch something so soon - why did they release it so early?' Well I guess it's the same sort of thing - technically the Sensation isn't broken so they don't want to make it look like they did a bad job - give it a month or two and you'll probably get the update which will unlock - or if lucky the unbranded/non-vodafone handsets might be unlocked anyway?

Then it's probably also down to the network again to push the updates out after htc release them so more delays...

So all in all I think you just need to give it a bit of time :)
[Desire General] killyouridols:
Unfortunatly, this is how businesses work. Old models get left by the wayside = More revenue for new devices. If Microsoft constantly updated Windows we would all still be on Windows 95. But, they stop support to force your hand into buying a newer version. HTC are no Different.

Personally, from a business point of view and not my personal view, its a sound business model. MAKE people buy your latest and greatest releases.

Unfortunatly, HTC have more support then I think they realised and HAD to give in to pressure, but I don't think it will continue for the forseeable future. I think they decided to ride the crest of a wave while it was till good.

KYI
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I know where you are coming from, but Microsoft supported Win95 for more than a year or two...

Also Win XP's support has been extended because so many people are using it on the same wavelength.

a 24 month contract and a phone that is out of support in less than that - it's no wonder people are grieved...

It'd be nice to get 18 months support on a phone, and after that you can almost expect it to be old hat.

I wouldn't expect any updates after GB (maybe a bugfix if there are any)
