And I have to say: by making this statement, Mr. OP, you put us all at risk. Do not EVER say that our toys... er, tools... can be lived without. These are vital to our very existence, and should NEVER be questioned this way.

I just shipped mine off to RMA due to a bent bezel and the power/volume buttons not working properly. I posted here about it before.

The mail lady said it should get to Texas by Saturday. What is the usual turnaround time for the RMA group?
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
Ok I just got a random call from some guy from HTC, said his name was Eric but would not give a last name. He wanted to "follow up" on me saying I was unhappy about the whole S-Off/Bootloader thing. I he kept skirting the question of "Are we going to get out bootloaders unlocked or not?" He finally told me that they were waiting on Corporate to let "Them" know WHEN they would be unlocked, so I asked him to confirm that he just said at some point they would be unlocked, and he back tracked really fast and said IF they would be unlocked, and his dept. did not expect to know anything for a "month or two", but HTC was watching Twitter and Facebook and know the customers are unhappy, and they strive to make thier customers happy...yada ..yada..yada....I told him at this point a simple Yes or No would make me happy, but we all know I didn't get that either. So has anyone else got a call from "Eric" or one of his friends over at HTC? Maybe if they work together they can find thier asses from a hole in the ground! :cool:
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
I honestly feel bad for Eric. Low level outbound call center representative. His whole job is centered around contacting angry customers and trying to pacify their concerns without giving straight answers (which he probably doesn't even truly have).

I'm glad you didn't claim to tear him a new asshole or anything. Bottom line, let's hope the bootloaders are unlocked soon and Eric can take a breather right along with us.
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
No actually I was very nice to him. I even told him I was frustrated at the situation and NOT at him and I felt bad for him too. I think it is a shame HTC has hung these poor people out to dry with no real answers for anyone. I really would hate to have his job right now.
[HTC Sensation] TJBunch1228:
Well that's good! Although when I worked in a call center, if the person I was taking to sounded like a cute girl, it made my job so much better :p
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
I don't believe that they will open the bootloader

.

It's been now almost two months since the first Sensation hit the market on 19th May. We all want to believe the

unconfirmed

rumours (on FB, Twitter, but non on any official HTC site or document) that they will open the Bootloader, first for new handsets and then to us who have already got the unit.

The fact that there are some S-OFF unit circling around just shows that they know how to do it, but are not willing to roll it over to us.

I have lost all faith in HTC in this matter and now rely on those wonderful and talented developers to crack it.

[HTC Sensation] charmz2k2:
Hi Chaps,

I've been having an issue with the signal on my phone, am now on my 4th Sensation..

I was on the phone to a really helpful chap at HTC and we were discussing exchanging my vodafone branded handset for an unbranded one (was never going to happen) but then I asked about rooting and unlocking the bootloader.

He went and had a chat with a colleague and came back and said that when the bootloader is unlocked, I will be able to flash the non branded firmware.

Rooting will void warranty, but flashing another firmware will be fine.

He confirmed this with another colleague, but as far as I can see, we will DEFINITELY get unlocked bootloader.

He didn't know when, but he didn't feel it would be too long to wait now!

Sorry for the off topic - though it is related...
[HTC Sensation] glhturbo:
I received a call from HTC from leaving a negative review from a survey they sent to me regarding an email I received from customer support. Basically said the same thing about the bootloader but did know about the temporary root for the Sensation. I guess that they are watching the dev. forum. ;)
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
Of course they know what to do. They knew since day one. It's their device and their bootloader. IMO the problem are the carriers. HTC knows that people are unhappy with the locked bootloader policy and that they have to give their customers what they want or else there will be consequences. But on the other hand they have to keep the carriers happy. I believe they will leak the way and let the devs do the rest ;)
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
Same here! I have faith that they will figure it out. :o)
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
No not off topic really. I was just really shocked when I got the call from HTC. I really did not expect to hear from them. Like I said I felt bad for the guy, but I feel that they should at least give us a yes or no. For that I have lost alot of faith in the company.
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
Hmmm.... Just got this in my email.

HTC wrote: "Hi Traci! We are sticking by our decision to provide a way for our users to be able to unlock their bootloaders. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update with more information as soon as we can."
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Now they are just copy and pasting. I received that exact email from them a week ago.
[HTC Sensation] ROM_Guest:
I received a call from a Gordon, and some girl on two seperate occasions. They are in my voicemail ...was planning to call them back.

Anyways, these were for my Mytough4g complaint, fwiw.
[HTC Sensation] anglkitty77:
Well at least someone else got calls and emails...was about to think my new phone had generated me a stalker! lol
[HTC Sensation] NRGZ28:
Really ? There's doubt in your mind that they don't know "HOW" to do it ? Ever occur to you that THEY are the ones that wrote the software for the bootloader and have every line of code for it available ? LOL

It was never a question of IF they know how to do it, it's a question of WHEN they'll decide to release the unlocked bootloader. It's politics, not technical know-how. Rest assured, they have plenty of that. LOL
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Uhhh....? I think you need to re-read his post... He said the exact same thing you just did..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgonma:
On my Nexus One that is running OS version 2.3.4 Build GRJ22, when I try to unlock Bootloader i get an error on my N1 screen that read tells me there’s “no image or wrong image”. It flashes on the screen for a split second in about 4 rows on the upper left and then disappears. Also, on my computer, in the cmd prompt, after I enter the fastboot command listed in the instructions it just gets hung up on “” PLEASE HELP!!! I’m about to throw the damn thing against the wall.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Since unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone anyway, why not try and do a passimg restore first, to make sure everything is as it should be?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgonma:
what is a passimg and how do i do it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Look at the unroot/restore guide in the wiki...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgonma:
So, why is this better or worth doing instead of unlocking Bootloader and then rooting?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
It's not an alternative.

You seem to be having problems unlocking the bootloader. I doubt the problem is the fastboot executable on your PC, so I would try fixing the software on your phone instead.

It's just a hunch, but I suspect that you will have more success unlocking your bootloader after trying this...
[About XDA developers] e.mote:
svetius,

This is in regards to the request for addition of a forum for the Nook Simple Touch. I understand that there are a large number of forums already. Forum management is getting harder, and that you must pick and choose for popular devices.

You said that you're gauging for popular interest, and there may not be enough by your reckoning to warrant such an addition. But would it be possible to add one or two subforums into the existing Nook Color forum instead? The existing mod(s) can oversee them, and it wouldn't add any more to the overall forum count.

In fact, it may be a good idea to allow more subforums for devices from a single brand, like the Galaxy Tab 8.9, or the upcoming 2nd-gen Galaxy Tab 7. There's more synergy, because existing users can better help out the new users. And there's less administrative work on your part.

Please, give this some consideration. Thanks for reading this, and thanks also to all the admins and mods for making this place available for all of us.

[About XDA developers] boborone:
Not a bad idea. This is something like what we wanted for the galaxy s phones. Now there are 5 sub forums for what is basically the same phone. Could have done something like the touch pro series where you have GSM dev and CDMA dev.
[About XDA developers] mdall:
Good idea especially for brands with few devices : it could be possible to make a general forum for the brand with subforums dedicated to each device and maybe other general subforums.

It could also be useful for devices that are very similar ...
[About XDA developers] Step666:
This would also work well for the likes of the Xperia Neo which lacks it's own forum but is similar enough to the Arc that the two could be combined.

In fact, the likes of the Xperia Play and the up-coming Xperia Ray and Xperia Pro could both be added to a combined 2011 Xperia forum, they've all got pretty much identical hardware.

[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Guys here is some info I wish I had when I got my first Nexus S OTA:

For 95% of you, you don't need to worry about getting the OTA. Only 5% of users get the OTA on day 1. It will be posted on XDA soon after the updates roll out. You will be able to download it and flash it from CWM like any ROM. There will also be rooted versions available.

So think twice before going back to stock to try to get your OTA, it might be a huge waste if time.

My two cents!
[Nexus S General] cptsmidge:
Thanks! I'm new at this...
[Nexus S General] info[]box1:
The important components will tagged and distributed via xda.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
you would be surprised on how many people will still do it tho :rolleyes: i want the new radio :P thats all ;)
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I know, I did when 2.3.4 was released. Then I was sitting there stock ROM, stock recovery, unrooted, waiting.... and then the full ROM, both rooted and unrooted, was posted on XDA way before anyone was really getting OTAs. So I ended up downloading from XDA and installing manually anyway, and I wasted a lot of time "going back to stock!"
[Nexus S General] apache2:
You don't waste that much time. 3-5 minutes tops :)

I like going back to stock every now and then anyway. make me feel that my system is "fresh" again lol
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
You have to flash stock rom, reboot to get stock recovery, restore all your apps, wait for the ota, download the ota, install the ota, reflash CWM recovery, reflash superuser.... etc.
[Nexus S General] superm1:
If you've already got a stock /system (other than adding superuser), do you really need to reflash a stock rom?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
No, not if everything in /system is stock
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
can you just restore to stock rooted rom and just get the OTA or do you need to be fully back to stock?
[Nexus S General] apache2:
I don't like it re-installing my applications. if I don't remember to re-install it, it wasn't that important.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
You don't need to do anything except wait for a flashable zip of the full rom to be posted here in xda, which will likely happen way before you ever get an ota update
[Nexus S General] apache2:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock

not too bad

:D
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
And meanwhile I downloaded the flashable .zip from XDA 3 days ago and flashed it with CWM..... that's my only point.
[Nexus S General] The Killjoy:
okay, I just want to be 100 percent on this. I HAVE unlocked the bootloader/added clockwork and superuser- I have NOT added any custom kernels or roms yet though,

can I still take the OTA update and be just fine?

I just want to know 120% if I can leave my phone as it stands with root access but the stock everything. Originally I gained root access simply to do a custom kernel and then BLN- but waited because I was worried the netarchy kernel may provide less than stellar battery life.

sorry for being a rook, Just want to be positive on this.
[Nexus S General] mandaman2k:
Quick question if I'm on stock Rom but have the Matr1x kernel can I do OTA with out a problem or should I need to go back completely stock?
[Nexus S General] Igotsanevo4g:
Guys you dont need to get the update OTA, there will be a flashable rooted version of it here. Please read.

I do have a question for someone though as this is my first samsung phone, will the radio(Called a modem in sammy terms?) update be flashable as well? Or do i have to do some odin BS?
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
More than likely the. Img will be in the zip
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
You will download the update from XDA and flash it with Clockwork before you would ever get the OTA.
[Nexus S General] The Killjoy:
With all due respect, I did read, and understand I can get it that way(from xda, and flash it). My question was/is CAN I TAKE THE OTA update with a rooted phone and stock kernel/rom without any problems. Perhaps you should heed your own advice, eh? ;)

I guess I'd rather not flash simply because I'd have to reinstall my apps-- right?
[Nexus S General] The Killjoy:
I realize I can do it this way, but if I wanted to take the OTA update would it cause problems?

I just would rather not have to flash and then need to install my apps again is all. (I tried to use multi-quote, but it didn't seem to be working)
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
if your going from stock odex and flashing a stock odex "rom" thats prerooted no need to wipe... so you wouldnt lose your apps, as for the ota.. idk this will be my first ns4g ota
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I just grabbed a new nexus s so count on not having to unroot to get it. And it has the old baseband, not gonna update and see if its any different for me.
[Nexus S General] ZeroCool84:
I've actually been waiting to root until an ota update came out since I've been having reception problems. After this update gets baked into roms, I'll install some.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
New radio/baseband = must take ota.
[Nexus S General] Igotsanevo4g:
Rule of thumb once rooted is that you do not accept OTA updates. Nexus might be a little different because fastboot oem unlock will always be there, but the reason behind not ever taking OTA's on most phones is that you dont know if the exploits used to get root will be patched leaving you SOL.

That is all.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
I suspected as much. Thanks.

I don't want any chance of missing the radio fix. Is it enough to flash back to a stock rooted rom, or should I flash the stock kernel and recovery as well?
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
I bought a new nexus yesterday and it had GRJ06 on it as well as the old baseband. I didnt take the update and flashed a GRJ22 rom over it. I just spent an hour trying to get to the new baseband. I finally just fastboot flashed the new radio and didnt have to unroot or anything. So its not gonna be a big deal at all.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Ah, ok. Is it fastboot flash radio radio.img?

Now I just have to decide if I want to be unrooted, or be without the updates, until I get back to my computer on the weekend. :-p

Edit: ...unless I could install the update through clockworkmod + the update would not then wipe clockworkmod. (?)
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
It is likely a stock rom with superuser will be posted the day the OTA is released.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Flashing a rooted GRJ90 rom isn't going to update your radio. I think that's the main thing people are worried about. t
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
I don't see what all the fuss is about. take the update and re-root. if your worried about loosing all your data than do a back up with titanium back up.
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
It should have a baseband update for the radio.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Eh, I think typically radio is included actually (assuming there is a new radio).
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
Yeah, i couldn't imagine that they would not be touching the radio, considering all the issues.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Included in what? You told people not to unroot to update. Just wait and flash a rooted rom. Im saying that if they do that, and there is a new radio, they will not get the new radio. A radio will not be included in a rooted rom. They will either have to unroot to take the update, or fastboot flash it.
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
Just to clarify, will a rooted stock rom work, or should I go back to bone stock, including stock kernel and recovery?
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
why wouldnt the radio be included?
[Nexus S General] jmoney579:
It seems like everyone is flipping out over something simple. It's going to be like any other android phone out there. Once the OTA comes out, there will be a flashable zip file that you can flash from clockwork and you're good to go. Else if you want to update your whole rom or haven't rooted and unlocked the bootloader then you can do that and install a rooter rom with the updated radio. If everything is locked and stock then just wait for the OTA.
[Nexus S General] shiftr182:
The radio.img inst included in roms, you have to flash through fastboot or odin. The radio image is in the top level directory, not the rom level.
[Nexus S General] joebags:
the radio CAN be flashed in a rom.zip. I have personally done it, accidentally flashed a gsm rom containing a radio on launch day of the 4g, softbricking the phone until someone was able to get the radio image off the first ota. You can flash anything if it's a signed zip.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Im wrong. Sorry
[Nexus S General] joebags:
More than likely the radio.img will NOT be included in any rooted roms. In which case you would flash the rooted stock rom image, then still have to fastboot flash radio radio.img

sorry for adding to the bickering about what this update will do or wont do. I feel like i'm doing exactly what i hate seeing done in these forums. If i had time i would write a very informative post explaining what and why everything is the way it is, but no one would read it, and there would still be fighting back and forth. so screw it :P

Beware i wear fire retardant clothes your flaming will not effect me :P
[Nexus S General] shiftr182:
Lol, that is pretty much what I was trying to say. I know it can be done, but most likely it wouldnt be included in roms. It is fairly easy for a begginer to flash the radio, so I wouldnt imagine it to be included in every rom.
[Nexus S General] hellcatt:
dont be, i just dont understand why but im a partial idiot. if i had a better idea when this update is coming i might just keep the new phone and leave it stock until after the update.

stupidest decision that i ever had to make that i cant right now lol
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
Soooo...where's this update from sprint?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I might be missing something, but... I'm pretty sure most of the stock ROMs posted around here do indeed include radio.

For example, after 2.3.4 OTA, one could easily go to this thread and flash the appropriate zip in CWM, flash SU.zip, and be done, with latest ROM and radio. That is the fastest way to get updated and letting people know that is an option (vs "unrooting" and "going back to stock" and waiting for the udpate from Google) is why I made this thread.
[Nexus S General] shiftr182:
Those arent roms (at least for ns4g) they are the update patch.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Your wasting your breath. Just agree and watch them...
[Nexus S General] joebags:
+1 and ten char
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
They are not patches, they include full /system, /boot, /recovery, and /radio images.

EDIT: the last few at the very bottom of the OP are "update patches." But the rest are all full ROMs.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Didn't happen to dump the original radio huh?

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
wouldnt matter, a dd dump of the radio cant be flashed again.. at least thats how it was with the epic
[Nexus S General] 4redstars:
Has there been any proof that there is an update coming besides the sprint feed website?

CM7'd Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] mstevens:
No. The only link in the original post that applies to the Nexus S 4G (which is what we're discussing here) is this: http://android.clients.google.com/p...7.signed-sojus-GRJ22-from-GRJ06D.df4305c4.zip

Yes, I know that near the top of the post the phrase "FULL ROM" appears. Saying it, though, doesn't make it true. Look at what the link points to: a file that contains "GRJ22-from-GRJ06D" right in the filename. It's not a full "ROM". It's an upgrade from GRJ06D to GRJ22.

Overall, it's better to check these things out rather than simply making stuff up.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Ya. I dumped mine in the beginning and flashed. No go. Oh well. Forward not backward I guess

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
LOL, belive me I tried. Thats why I ran it for a few days. Honestly, after I took the new radio, my wifi and 4g went to crap. It was fine on the old radio.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Lol OK well what about all the i9020t, i9020a, and i9023 roms? I like how you ignore 90 pct of the post and pick the one that is the exception and then accuse me of making things up.

In general, the full Rom gets posted as a zip that includes the radio. You can see that in the link. No need to be a jerk, dude. I sure wasn't. I'm just here trying to help people.
