[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Thanks for helping me out if you can....searched all over but didn't find anything on this specific topic. :o

I came from Blackberry just a few weeks ago and it was as simple as connecting the BB to my PC, going into the SD card, finding video I recorded on the BB...watching it on my HTPC and or simply saving it on my PC.

I was curious if it's at all possible to record an HD vid on the Sensation, connect it to a PC...save it and/or play vid?? Obviously without a MHL dongle.

I know the vids are on my sd card....but I cant find them? Or it seems they are encrypted or something. I searched for .3gp...file size... etc. Nothing?

Is it not as simple as it should be...like BB was?

Thanks for your time! :)

Thanks for the reply....

Thought I checked that and every other folder....I'll look again.

Sorry for the noobish question....This is driving me a little batty. Should be super simple....

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancooper93:
Can this wiki to root a Desire Z be trusted?

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting

Also, once i get the end of this wiki and have rooted etc, do I find a ROM I want and then flash it to my phone?

I am wanting to use Virtuous ROM, so i need to download this and then flash it to my phone, correct?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
That guide is safe lol. Cyanogen is highly trusted. After you are done rooting install rom manager, flash newest recovery(which is the top click within the app) then its pretty obvious from there what to do next...click download rom and choose out the growing list.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Yes that guide can be trusted, but I would trust the xda wiki guide even more. There probably aren't major differences, but most here would agree that if you had to choose one guide, choose the one below.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JesseJames:
I've read 50 or so post's related to this issue and I'm well aware of what I should have done (nandroid backup:eek:). I ordered my phone June of last year and rooted it as soon as it was possible. (it's out of warranty/ no TEP). I don't even remember what method I used to gain root but I know there's no Wimax backup. Last night I was able to get a Sprint supervisor to give me my Wimax key#. If I had a backup Wimax.img from someone else would it be possible to edit the file and insert my key#? Please, no d-bag comments ;)

You can use the wimax keys checker app and it'll tell you they're gone. Also if you can't connect to 4G for any reason, that is a good indicator.

And to the OP, if you can get one, you can TRY it, but I don't know what will happen.

I've been searching and didn't find a satisfying answer (yes)....

For me the most important reason to have s-off on my Desire is to be able to change the partition table layout.

Now I've managed to s-off my wives Legend and I'd like to change it also on her phone.

So if anyone's got it or knows how to....let me know please

I know about this method. I'd rather not use this. Need a changed hboot, like available for the Desire.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonesy:
You cant use a custom hboot like desire as we do not have them! The only way to do it is in that post....

Start off by flashing your chosen rom, while in recovery do..

adb shell df -f -h

This will show your partitions,say your system has 130000kb used and 2000kb free

open up mtdpartmap.txt and change the first number to 135000 and the second to 10

mtd 135 10

That will do 135mb /system and 10mb /cache leaving the remaining for /data

If you do a backup you SHOULD be safe.

Why do you want to do it though? Theres always A2SD or Data2EXT
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums. I also got a really big question to ask. Well I usually root my phone with Visionary using a TempRoot. Then I updaed my Evo Shift via OTA, or going to the HTC Software update thing and now I can't really root my phone I guess. Is there a solution to root my phone even though I have Gingerbread? If not right now, maybe soon? I really want to use the tethering app to tether to my PS3. PLEASE HELP!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] dabiddabird:
As of now no there is not. And it might take a while before there is one. Idk if your phone already came with the ota update, but if it didn't you could have waited cuz the same day the ota went live there was a rooted version here already.
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
Just about 2 hrs later it was rooted.Pretty much a fundemental, if htc or sprint push out an ota update it will unroot your phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
So basically I'm screwed???
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhodiggah:
Not really, you'll just have to wait a little longer. At least you have Gingerbread unlike others who are still rocking eclair...;-p
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
About how long???
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwnyourace:
You can use the sprint RUU to downgrade to froyo and then root it, worked for me, I'm not on my computer so I can't link it but it shouldn't be that hard to find. And instead of temp rooting it there's a nice gui in the dev section that will perm root it pretty easily then u can flash the rooted 2.3 update through CWM
[EVO Shift 4G General] dabiddabird:
That worked for you? That's cool I thought the new hboot couldn't be overwritten that way. It might be hit or miss though I read others were getting errors when trying to ruu the stock 2.2
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
I'll try it out right now. If I could find it. BUT I REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU. No homo
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
Now wouldn't the RUU thing erase all the data on my phone. Do I need a computer to use the RUU thing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] drewbuchman:
You will need a computer but if you remember setting up your gingerbread update it asks if you want to back up your device on google..... Use ruu to go back root and flash a rom like cm7 and you can restore your device or you can use titanium backup to... Well... Back up and restore your apps. Also google as you know backs up your contacts. So you should be set.... Anyone else let me know if there is something i missed.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
I'm tremendously sorry, but can you walk me through the steps. Like how to use and where to get the RUU. I just don't want to mess up my phone or waste time. Please, I REALLY appreciate your help.
[EVO Shift 4G General] SirThumpaLot:
The RUU can be found in the Evo Shift wiki by going to the following URL: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy

Luckily the RUU pretty much walks you through the process itself. You'll need the HTC sync drivers if I remember correctly in order for it to find your phone. You should be all good. Good luck, dood
[EVO Shift 4G General] drewbuchman:
I just tried this on my and another phone and got a error 170 boot loader i will see if i get some more shifts in today and try it on them i hope what your trying do do is possible but ill keep you updated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] anthonyyy15:
Anything yet?
[EVO Shift 4G General] drewbuchman:
I have not been able to do tis all day at work i tried 3 different devices and no go im starting to think that its not possible and you will have to wait for a new root.. (which is never a long wait).... Thanks to the fine people here at XDA.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Dear forum members,

In the following A, B, C and D sections is described the flashing process

of the NON NoDo unbranded ROM: RUU_Schubert_Cingular_US_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.66.09.09a_22.46.50.21U_Signed_by_ansar

It is suitable for chevronWP7 unlock and can be upgraded to 7008 and then to 7392 NoDo OS and keep unlocking

See my relevant thread: [Guide How To]Pass ChevronWP7 Unlocker from 7004 to 7392 NoDo via zune, by ansar

A. Pre-Requisites

If your HD 7 is flashed with a ROM of the following release:

1. RUU_Schubert_Cingular_US_3.03.502.02_Radio_5.66.09.09a_22.46.50.21U

then you can flash the following NON NoDo unbranded ROM and when you like you can comeback to your previous NoDo ROM

In case your HD 7 is flashed with a different of the above 1 ROM but your Firmware version at your phone settings>about>more information

is of the form xxxx.yy.zzzzz.502 i.e. with characteristic value 502

then you can also flash the following NON NoDo unbranded ROM, but you can comeback only to the above 1 ROM

B. Downloading

You must download the following 2 ROMs:

1. Download this zip ROM file: RUU_Schubert_Cingular_US_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.66.09.09a_22.46.50.21U_by_ansar

Extract the downloaded zip ROM files with an unzip / 7zip utility in separate folders of your choice

C. Flashing Process

In order to successfully flash the provided ROMs you must follow these steps:

1. Flash the ROM of the above (B.1.) extracted zip ROM file

2. After flashing HD 7 will automatically enter again in bootloader mode

3. In the screen of your computer the ROMUpdateUtility will report an ERROR[270]

4. Ignore it and exit from ROMUpdateUtility

5. Now flash the ROM of the above (B.2.) extracted zip ROM file

6. After flashing your HD 7 will boot normally

7. Exit from ROMUpdateUtility and proceed with your brand new ROM

If you do not want them you can delete all operator apps, in order to have more free RAM

Beware, in WP7 deleting an application means it is deleted from ROM

D. ROM Flashing Instructions

In order to flash a ROM follow these steps:

1. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone

2. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode

3. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button

4. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista pc/laptop with a usb cable

5. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop

6. After completion of (D.5.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen

Hi, i can't update... it stays on 0% and then it shows me Error 260 which is Comm Error... but the usb is fine, and i tried in the 3 usb ports of my pc... so, what could it be?? thanks.

	ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.

EDIT: Now it shows error 262...

	ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.

i upgraded it to 7392... does it have to do something with it??
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Do you start from tricolor screen in bootloader?

Regards, ansar
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] t0mmy:
Thank you for this rom, great work!

For anyone wondering, if you have the HD7 S with AT&T, flash this rom, chevron unlock your phone, apply registry hack to keep phone unlocked, then update through zune to get back to NoDo

It looks pretty decent.

I think it uses the same kind of protector as the zagg shields, and it also includes a carbon fiber back skin.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I picked up a Sensation at Walmart today to compare to the G2X and see what the fuss was all about. First impression was downright disappointing and the more I use it the more I am starting to miss using my G2X.

I'm going to force myself to use the Sensation for at least 2-3 days before I return it because right now I'm longing for my G2X. I really don't get why people are leaving G2X to get Sensation. I have both now and the G2X is night and day a better phone to me.

Things I've noticed so far after only a few hours:

- Sensation takes much longer to boot than G2X - I thought the Sensation had frozen at startup but nope, taking its time

- Worrying most to me - a few times the touchscreen will just stop responding to touches. I have to hit a soft key or something and then it starts working again. Very weird.

- Weirdly slow wifi speeds. I get 2mbps down on my Sensation while I get 30mbps down on the G2X - Same router/AP. No other changes?!?

- Screen resolution on Sensation is excellent for reading text and whatnot BUT it's horrible for color saturation and viewing angles. Just holding a G2X next to it really is quite a drastic difference

- Lag city due to Sense and other overhead. Scrolling homescreen, app drawer, lists, even apps like CNN, etc. is shockingly laggy. I hardly have anything running or widgets and it feels slower than my old Incredible with Sense. Not sure what the hell they did to this phone.

- Sense app replacements for stock apps (sms, email, etc.) are complete resource hogs and not fast like stock android. Takes forever to get things done.

I've installed Launcher Pro and am going to try running it with LP to see if it makes this phone livable. So far it's a big fat suck for me.

Will post more here.

Your phone's defective...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Not a disappointment to this G2X owner. The G2X is ready to go out of the box but the Sensation requires some tweaking. First you need to turn off those silly Sense animations. Then get rid of the 7 pages worth of widgets. Go into the WiFi settings and turn on "Maximum Performance". Lastly, do not let the Sensation automatically install your applications and uncheck back up settings and app data under privacy.

-After the initial boot up, the Sensation actually boots much faster due to HTC's quick boot.

-Never had a problem with the display not responding to my Touches. It's actually miles more responsive than the G2X display since I found myself swiping 3 times to unlock the G2X. I believe you though. Some people have this problem.

-WiFi speeds are just as fast on my Sensation. I get around 20mb/s down and 8mb/s up on both devices. Want to see pics?

-Viewing angles are atrocious on the Sensation and it's contrast is not on the same level as the G2X IPS panel. That being said. Colors on the Sensation are much sharper and vibrant. I think it has better colors but this is more of a preference thing. I can tell you whats not preference and that's the brightness of the Sensations display. When viewing both devices in direct sunlight. The Sensation is a mile better than the G2X.

-The UI is not as responsive as on the G2X but when your in an app I think it's faster than on the G2X. The Sensations browser also loads and scrolls web pages faster. In the end, if you tweak Sense a little bit, there is no more lag but it's still not instant like the G2X.

-The Sense email app doesn't get used since I use Gmail. I never use manufacturer email apps due to the stock Gmail app having true push mail. The Text Message app is just as fast and better looking than the one on the G2X. I use to use Hancent until it lagged on the G2X. I am back to Hancent and it doesn't lag on the Sensation.

Everyone is going to have different experiences just like they do with the G2X. I am not biased by no means since I own both devices until I sell one. I am not in debt to either of the two.

In the end, use what you like. Everyone is going to have a different opinion. If you want to see a unbiased review than check mine out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Either that or he's telling stories. There is no way in the world the G2X is going to boot faster when the Sensation has quick boot. It boots in 1/3 of the time it takes the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Sense has that fastboot feature which doesn't really shut down the phone, but rather puts it in a hibernate mode. From a dead start (after pulling the battery) the sensation does take longer to boot than the G2x. I say that from experience after playing with one at the store ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
When turning off fast boot mine boot within seconds of each other. When fast boot is on it is still rebooting the system and restoring all of your lost memory that apps suck up over the course of use.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
OP I have to say you sound incredibly biased. Not the least bit of objectivity in your post. You illustrate this when you say the difference in the screens is night and day. Anyone who has both (such as myself and jrwingate) will tell you if you sit them side by side there is not very much difference at all. The G2X has better viewing angles but that's about it. But one thing the Sensation does have over the G2X when it comes to the screen is uniform blacks. Since there is NO screen bleeding at all, the blacks are at least uniform..something I cannot say about the G2X. The sense replacements for certain apps such as SMS and email run perfectly fine and without lag. So your assessment is definitely without merit. You spoke about the difference in boot time...from a cold boot, they are almost the same, and when doing a quick boot, the Sensation boots MUCH faster than the G2X. All in all it sounds like either your phone is defective...or you don't really have one. I say that because too much of what you said is off base. Your description is very inaccurate (as you can see from the responses you've received in this thread). The only night and day (as you called it) difference is the difference in stability. The G2X is a good phone don't get me wrong, but until it's a stable device (freezes, random reboots, battery life) it won't stack up against a phone that is stable. I've had the Sensation now for 11 days and it hasn't crashed once. Care to guess how many times my G2X would have froze or random reboot in that same amount of time? lol ...let's just say A LOT. LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Side by side, they seem about equal to me. I can't really discern a difference.
