[HTC Sensation] Paten:
There is a thread in the development forum for the sensation that includes links to the official RUU roms for various regions of the world. I'm wondering if you would be able to flash one of these official roms to your phones. I think you should be able to flash a rom for an unbranded phone since I'm assuming your phones are unbranded. You might want to try it.
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
I don't have Canadian English only Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Philippines.

Time to look at the other ROM's

-jm
[HTC Sensation] Differentiation:
Yes my phone is unbranded.

As soon as S-Off becomes official, I think I will flash a North American rom onto my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Paten:
I don't know if the radios are compatible. North American Sensations are the T-mobile branded one, with 1700,2100,1900MHz 3G bands, and the one that went thru the FCC with 850/1900MHz bands for an unknown carrier. As far as the Vodafone/unbranded European/Asian phones, their 3G frequencies are listed as 900/AWS/2100MHz. I would make sure it won't brick your phone before trying to flash a "North American" rom onto your Sensation.

In the mean time, you might try one of the unbranded European roms and chose UK English.
[HTC Sensation] Differentiation:
Oh you are right! I have the 3G version, not the 4G.
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
I tried 3 different HTC Roms, all 3 ended with the 131 error of invalid ID.
[HTC Sensation] chrisg1548:
so if MoreLocale 2 wont work 100%, should i send it back and get the t-mobile version or can a us english locale be put on the phone. i love the fact that theres no bloatware but i need to have us english locale on my phone. what should i do.
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
wait for s=off, there will be plenty of roms. The phone works fine otherwise, it is just a couple of menu's. Hand the phone to someone and they would never know.
[HTC Sensation] Differentiation:
Even then, would I be able to flash other roms if my phone is an "asian version" of the phone? (that is of course...without bricking the phone)
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
yes shouldn't be a problem.
[HTC Sensation] chrisg1548:
mixmaven what menus are you having with no us english or what areas are effected by not having us english. just want to know to prepare myself.
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
I don't have the phone on me today but under language settings, the IME and possibly one other. enjoy!
[HTC Sensation] GG007:
I have the same problems. Just recently got an unlocked sensation and my IME settings are in Vietnamese. It's really annoying me since the phone didn't have English for the U.S., only for other asian countries and have a thai keyboard. Luckily my keyboard is in english but the IME setting in Vietnamese is bothering me. Is there any way to somehow translate it into english?
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I too have a sensation that only has English from the asian countries (no UK, no US, no canada) but on the box it says:

HSPA/WCDMA (900/AWS/2100 MHz)

GSM/GPRS/Edge (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

So check to make sure. Some of them wont have the AWS band. I'm glad the one I got did :) So far I selected English from the philippines and havent really noticed anything too too off
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
Just S-Off'd Now I can flash a new rom!

Life is better.

[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
Hey,

I've been trying to root my HTC Desire, which led me to Unrevoked (instructions from rootmydroid.co.uk).

I've installed and uninstalled HTC Sync, enabled USB Debugging, allowed Unknown Sources, etc.

Using both the latest version of Unrevoked 3.32 and older 3.21 - the software reports "Internal error: Couldn't find misc".

I was then told to use a custom recovery image, which I downloaded and used with Unrevoked (both versions), where it all went well until it stopped at the recovery image screen and appeared to be doing nothing. After reboot, still no root.

Hopefully you guys can help me out. :o

Chris
[Desire General] Lothaen:
installed the hboot drivers from unrevoked?

actually - do a search on the forum - I am 99% sure someone had the 'misc' error before and there's a fix for it...
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
Just spent an hour researching and as I went to post it I got a white screen, losing my post. Stupid phone, I'll use the app in future.

Basically, I couple posts say that downgrading the HBOOT worked for them. A couple others recommend following the manual DIY guide, though being new to this I'd probably avoid that.

I should probably point out I have an Orange branded Desire. One post said that previously these phones needed to pay for a 'gold card' to get rooted, but wasn't sure if this was still the case.

So, just wanted to ask afresh on advise for steps to take to do this.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Gold card probably needed then as branded
[Desire General] Lothaen:
You can make yourself a gold card
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
I implemented the gold card successfully. Using Unrevoked3, it goes well until "running root...", "this was a triumph", "Internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash?". (The older Unrevoked 2.2 still returns the misc error).

I have installed Unrevoked's HBOOT drivers & restarted PC, installed and uninstalled HTC Sync... to no avail.

Any help appreciated.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
What hboot version do you have?
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
0.93.0001
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Downgrade your phone to stock 2.1 and run unrevoked again:

Actually, unrevoked can root android 2.2 (froyo), but sometimes there appear issues like yours.
[Desire General] fragargon:
hi, wich clockwork did you use with unrevoked??

did you already try this one => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-bravo.img

before launch unrevoked, look into your phone for an app called Zysploit, if there uninstal and go to proceed unrevoked.

launch unrevoked click menu file select custom recovery and go to this dowloaded. make sure disable security is check.

let us know how this work

hopez
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
Hi, thanks for the suggestion but I still get the same error with the custom recovery. I removed the Zysploit app. I don't know if "disable security is check", where is that?

Also, I don't know if it's worth pointing out but when it reboots during the Unrevoked process and goes to the menu it says something like this (copied from internet)...

sd cheking....

Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Thanks, seems like the only solution. So I backup, downgrade to stock 2.1, root with unrevoked3, then flash a ROM?

Could you point out which ROM it is I need to have HTC Gingerbread unbranded please? I want to upgrade to 2.3, while also removing Orange's crapware to save space. :)

P.S. Why is there two categories for Desire and Bravo on shipped-roms.com? Aren't they the same thing?
[Desire General] fragargon:
Hi, it s normal process that phone reboors during unreevoked process BUT it annoting that it checking and loading that file on your sd card... Why os that file PB99XX.IMG on your sd card? Try rename extension by adding. old and redo the process. Should work without doing downgrade or ruu.

Hope this help
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
That file isn't on my SD card.. which is why it says it can't find it I presume. I don't know why it's looking for it or what it is...
[Desire General] fragargon:
Dunno why it s asking this... Maybe anorher could give the reason.
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
I followed the guide, but I'm getting "adb not recognized as an internal or external command" repeatedly. Do I need the Android SDK installed or something (it doesn't say that).
[Desire General] danarama:
I reaplied to you an android forums. But matDroid is correct. And yes you need adb set up. See the adb faq in my Sig. It gives you the minimum effort method to achieve this
[Desire General] ChrisLoz:
Thanks, I got adb working after isntalling Android SDK quite some time ago, just haven't updated this thread since.

As I mentioned on Android Forums, the downgrade didn't go well (similar to this photo).

I then tried installing a couple RUU's, which I'm told were the wrong ones, leaving me with the HTC logo and 4

/!\

Installing a stock RUU has brought it back to life. :)

I'll continue trying to root soon.

I've got a retail from June 8th and I'm not sure wether or not GPS works. I've enabled it and the status bar icon shows up but I don't think it ever finds any satellites. I've got GPS test installed and it doesn't have any GPS show up.

[edit: after choosing 'choose zip from sd- I see RoyalGinger, choose it, but rather than flashing, two options of 'system' or 'META-INF' appear.]
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Are you checking the MD5SUM?

please check

___ Yes

___ No

It sounds as if you have a bad download. When you go

flash .zip from SD card > let me pick > the file you want

It shouldn't give you any choices. It should just flash it right away.

If you do not know how to check the MD5SUM it's really simple

adb shell md5sum /[location]/<file.zip>

and match it to the MD5SUM posted from where you downloaded the ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Not to be mean but this entire thread could have been avoided if someone [OP] would have not rooted before knowing what they were doing. Anyone with any working knowledge of their device would have known that the file does not get unzipped.

There are way too many people rooting their devices and thus clogging up XDA with threads that could have been avoided just by simply learning their device and reading, reading, reading and re-reading before attempting to do something just because they thought it was cool :cool: to do.

JMHO though
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I will agree with you, however ....

1) Everyone starts somewhere. You were once a n3wb getting p3wnd once as well.

2) This person is doing the correct thing. They are asking more experienced users, what they are doing. And how to correct the issue. Nothing wrong with asking questions.

3) XDA is known as the "GOTO PLACE" for all things hackery/slashery/and modified phones. It's easy for them to find this place when it shows up on nearly EVERY google search done regarding Android or WinMo phones.

To the [OP]. At this point in time i would recommend stepping back, after you get your phone up and running, and take some time to read up and study. IF you want to get into hacking your phone i'm all for it. Just don't go in with blinders on. It can get pretty deep pretty quick.

ive had a g2 for 4 months and it has some good roms and good devs but looking for a change. im not such a big fan of the keyboard since i dnt use it much and it makes it really thick. the mt4g also has more ram which is better for future development since the g2 only has about 100mbs left while running a sense 3.0 rom. ive alreasy had a mt4g for a week but traded it back for my g2. didnt get enough of an impresion to really decide. any thoughts? what would you choose?
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I would choose the MT4G....IF you can check it first to make sure it has the good eMMc chip. Check out the threads in the MT4g General Forums...If it has a bad chip it can only be rooted using g-free, but your phone is a ticking time bomb. Don't be fooled by the poll, the 3 people with the good chip that got bricks did it while flashing a radio. Other than that the phone is amazing, and there are a TON of great ROM's to choose from.
[General Questions and Answers] stumpyz9:
Well the guy I'm getting from already has the phone rooted so I don't think I need to worry about that. But I've checked the forums and saw some awesome roms and I can't wait to try some.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pretlord:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pappasmurfsharem:
not better than say android... But a surprising treat...

I don't know what to day about it.

The ui is just fun to use. The XBmod I used ran smooth as silk (similar to iphone smoothness). I like the messaging app. I didn't call microsoft for an activation code so I didn't get to try all the other great features although I'm sure it would have been worth the hassle
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Surprising, indeed. I used WP7 for a couple of months, everything fine. However, I missed the tweaking and modding - but I don´t like Android either. So I´m back to Windows Mobile/Sense...

WP7, imho, is far better than most reviews. Its completely new approach has its advantages; it´s fast and smooth.

At the end, it´s maybe a little too "simple" in the design. I think many people like all those fancy little icons on their smartphones, especially iOS users.

Oh, before I forget: One of the functions of WP7 is the integrated voice recognition/control. It works far better than anything else I ever tried before.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pappasmurfsharem:
How was your battery life? I only flashed out for a few minutes, but it seem like it wasn't charging
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] soapbox23:
Agree about the UI being fun to use. Very user friendly and fast fast fast. I did activate live services and while the app selection is not that great at the moment, the marketplace is very nice although a little convoluted when looking for apps. I'm currently dual booting Xbmod's build (v.1.11) and AmeriCanAndroid (which I usually use) but I'm holding out for the Mango update and hopefully that'll bring on some cool new apps and features so I can switch between the two without losing data. My biggest gripe is lack of apps. If I could somehow integrate my texts/call log between the two OSs, It would be a tough choice which one to run more.

I am a former iPhone user (2G one only) and I gotta say I thought I would miss it, but my HD2 is miles and miles better :D

How are you dual booting? Does haret run on wp7?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pretlord:
does your led has an alternating sequence of red and green when plugged in??

if yes: then check the temperature of the phone,if its high,wait for it to cool down and then plug it in again(try switchin it off for cooling it down)

red green sequence means ur phone has overheated(yes its a bug) and as a risk of damage to battery, wp7 refuses to recharge it :)

(thanks to the developers :))

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] stephandelaat:
I don't miss the tweaking and modding....and it's for a reason. With android i was constantly occupied with modding. With WP7 you can't tweak.....but you don't need to either. The UI works perfectly to begin with. The UI is designed to access basic functionality fast....phone, mail and messaging. Off course not everything is good, for example....i miss vibration feedback from the keyboard. The keyboard could have been larger as well.

WP7 doesn't have as many apps as android...but i only use flickr, facebook and twitter so i don't care.

If you're not changing to WP7 now....i would definitely give it a try as soon as mango is launched.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
I agree. I was one of the loudest when it came to trashing WP7, when I hadn't even tried it, lol! Now I wouldn't use any other OS. Will definitely be getting a native WP7 come upgrade time. It's such an easy, smooth, & very reliable OS.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] pretlord:
well there are two things you can do:

1.charge ONLY when its not hot,and try to remove and plug in the charger again.see if the continuous red light comes on(that means it charging,till its heat up again)

2.dual boot android and wp7 and charge in the android mode(its the best)

try Yuki's ROM,it heats up the least for me :)
