[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sky93:
But now my device isn't showing up under adb. It keeps saying device offline. I already restarted the phone, computer, and reinstated the drivers...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
If you just finished the downgrade, check Settings->Applications->Development to make sure Debugging is on and fastboot is off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Also make sure you are in htc sync mode

Sent from my rooted stock OTA MR2 Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schedonnardus:
when i rooted my phone on sunday, i had a random reboot of my phone as soon as the downgrade was loaded. After that, the phone would show as offline in adb.

What i did to remedy that was to turn "USB Debugging" off, wait, then turn it back on. Then check if it shows up as online. Repeat this process until it works.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramcharger1979:
I do not think that matters. I rooted my phone on charge only.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxphreek:
If it doesn't go right, make sure you start all the way over from the beginning. I don't know why, but this phone was a pain in the butt to get rooted. It took me a good six or seven tries before it finally worked for me.

Oh, also, for some reason you'll probably need to enable check "unknown sources" in applications before you'll be able to copy stuff to the SDcard. that freaked me out the first time I stumbled across this problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Yea, I've never used an "htc sync" mode since I bought it so not sure about that one.

It's pretty straight forward if you follow the step by step root guide instead of trying one of the scripts that have become oh so popular.

And I'm not sure about the "unknown sources" to copy to sdcard. The only reason you should need that is to actually install an apk that wasn't dl'ed through market.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxphreek:
For some reason after downgrading I wasn't getting the option to copy stuff to my SD card, i would charge but it wouldn't detect the connection.

I was following the guide.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
The only reason I say put it in htc sync mode is because my phone shows offline unless it is in htc sync mode. Odd though.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dra$tiK:
Rooting problem also

I have tried and tried and tried to root my Thunderbolt. I have followed the guide on xda to a T. The problem is this, once you get to step 4 where you boot to the bootloader and try to get the PG05IMG.zip to load, it loads it[blue status bar] checks it[gold status bar] then back to the hboot bootloader screen.:confused: Also i should note that when i put the file on my sd card the md5sums match, but after the process in hboot bootloader, they don't match. :confused: Oh, and i have asked in the irc chatroom also:mad:, they tell me im doing it wrong.:mad: Should note also tried to pull the ota update and no go either. It downloads and fails everytime!:confused: Bought the phone off of craigslist so no warranty, just would like to root because the phone force closes every program i bring up on it and its frustrating me. :mad: Thanx Dra$tiK
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Well for the force closing problem, just try to do a factory reset on the phone. As far as the ruu failing in hboot, it sounds like maybe the misc.img file you pushed didn't take. Try restarting the whole process over again, and also redownloading the downgrade.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dra$tiK:
How can I check to make sure that the file got pushed?

Is there an adb command I can try?

Also i have factory reset the phone 3 times from hboot.

Today however when i did reset it it went into a bootloop... thunderbolt screen constantly, was able to get it to the bootloader and all was well after that but still not rooted
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramcharger1979:
Are you sure you have the downgrade as PG05IMG.zip and not .zip.zip?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dra$tiK:
Yes, I have a windows 7 machine with file extentions turned on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramcharger1979:
Because I thought the same thing and after it failed 4 times I checked it on astro file manager and I had put it in as zip.zip
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dra$tiK:
No it is name PG05IMG.zip on my sd card.. this must be a common problem at least im hoping it is.. and a fixable one at that

all that i've seen on these threads are some of the issues with the sensation, i am one who really likes this phone. i guess every phone has its issues and a few bad apples, but this is by far the best i've tested so far. is there anyone else who likes this phone.

[HTC Sensation] anjahl:
I love mine. I am on my second one due to a bad USB port but other than that its the best phone I've had.
[HTC Sensation] ROM_Guest:
OP: I'm glad you like the sensation.

The majority of the new purchaser haters, are kind of 'weak newcomers to the Smartphone ' genre.

They have to appreciate that the majority of these phones have faults. None so bad as the secondary MT4G screen, and even then some, none so bad as the N1 touchscreen, with still patriotic N1 followers such as myself .

Edit: Pardon the noobs.
[HTC Sensation] bwstonemd84:
I love the phone too I switched from evo 3d sprints data is terrible. Yea I had with evo random spurts of 12mbps but majority of the time I got the weak 500kbps on sprints weak 3g. Yes I live in a 4g area but its so spotty. I go 1 mile and have 4g then don't have it then have it and don't have it. When it switches from 4g to 3g the phone lost data for 20 seconds. Not worth ot. With tmob I consistently get 7mbps down and 1.5 up. No loss of data and same buttery smooth ui. Yes buttery smooth without a live wallpaper I have no lag issue in sense 3.0. This phone is sexy and a monster of a phone.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
Now that my touchscreen is working, I say this is the best phone in the world :)
[HTC Sensation] ch@u:
I just got mine over the weekend and love it so far. I came from a nexus one which was one of the best phones I ever had. Seems like it takes forever to charge though. Is that just me?
[HTC Sensation] IJS-T:
First one I had had a defect battery, took me a little 8 hours to charge(and about 4 hours with 2 hours display to completely drain). The one I have now charged in 5 hours before the FOTA, and somewhat around 4 hours after the FOTA. I also noticed that the battery of my first phone tended to get extremely hot, while this one gets a little warmer at well, but not at the battery but more at the bottom.

Also noticed change in batterylife, first phone as mentioned couldn't make it through the day, this one managed 20 on first charge-cycle, and now around 25 hours with medium use. (2,5 hours displaytime)
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
It would be a great phone, if they fixed the known issues. Luckily I don't have the touch screen issue, but I have death grip and lag. Death grip is hardware, and can only be fixed by a new back cover.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i love my phone's guts! and my 2 bff's who touched it loved it instantly and are selling their Desire and Galaxy to get this
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Thanks to all for the POSITIVE feedback on the phone and to the OP for starting this. Yeah I guess most of us prefer to point out problems. I've had this phone on the radar for months now (since first announced) and as I'm due for an upgrade at the end of the month, I have been getting very nervous with all of the death grip, dust under screen, unresponsive screen posts etc. Since I definitely don't want to go the alternative duo core plastic route, it is good to see some positive experiences.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
you need to put what you read on the forums into perspective...though there are people from all over the world here, we are a very small cross-section of the market - the geeks, the ones who would see a teeny issue and freak the fck out because we want DA BEST!!!!11

so 50 people have a problem, i very much doubt htc gives a crap!
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
This was my experience with Sprint too, and the main reason I didn't go with the Evo 3D. Sprint signal at my house is one bar on a good day, and every Sprint phone I've ever had has had problems just *connecting* to data. I had a Touch Pro 2 before I got my HD2 & I had to toggle airplane mode practically every few hours just to get the damn data to connect. I have full signal & full 4G with T-Mo, no data problems, and my speed is about 6-8mbps on a BAD day(and I've gotten up to 14 at times!).

Yes, this phone has it's share of problems but what phone doesn't? People will ***** about a negative before they gush about a positive, don't think that the Sensation is a POS because some people don't like it(which, IMO, user error/inexperience with smartphones in general is a big cause of). I absolutely love it. Great battery life, great sound, great screen, great speed, FANTASTIC camera, etc. It's a winner in my book.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
This is true. I doubt the average consumer is worried about having an AUO or a Sharp panel, haha.
[HTC Sensation] tbubba:
I love this phone! I'm coming from the tp2. I have the creek problem with the bottom right of my screen but honestly it doesnt bother me. I love the keyboard that it comes with and coming from the wonderful hardware keyboard on the tp2 I was a little worried about going all touchscreen but I've had no problems with it! Truely an amazing phone!
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Every problem I had with my prior Sensations is gone now except for Sense reloads but I never see that from LauncherPro. Battery life is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy on this new one! I go all day without recharging now. I can't even believe it. Used it all day yesterday and still had 37% 20 hours later. Took it off the charger today. Didn't use it for 8 hours and still at 100% even while receiving texts and emails. 13 hours later and some usage photos, G+, etc and 86%. Both other phones would have been dead by now.

I have an AUO panel now and it's great. I prefer the Sharp I had originally because the viewing angles seemed better.

Camera is fantastic with sharpness and saturation turned down.

Only probs I have are with Sense 3. Biggest bother is built in apps2sd feature telling me I dont have space on my sd card if i try to move more than a few at the same time. I don't really care much though. I have 90 something apps installed and 870mb free.

Almost forgot - my speaker is either a different component than the others or something. Maybe the default hardware settings are modified. Sounds much better than on the units I had to return. Don't have to use Volume+ at all.
[HTC Sensation] Watcheet:
First time writing here... :) hi all! :)

I've been reading these forums for month at least...checking SGS2 and Sensation. With all those troublesome posts I decided to bite the bullet and get myself HTC Sensation. Been using it for 2 days now and everything is working absolutely perfect, smooth and fast! No dust under screen, working flawless while unlocking in every possible situation (on the desk, on the floor, while charging, in my hands), no death grip no matter how hard i try ;) though i can fell some small glitches while typing an sms or a message (maybe it's my sweaty fingers...it's horribly hot here)...but that's about it.

I asked the guy who sold me a phone if people are returning phones with anomalies or bad stuff happening but he answered (like we can believe that :D ) that they didnt have any of those big issues mentioned here. Guess we are lucky in Croatia :D

Not sure if phones were manufactured much precisely in the last weeks but this is really a fresh looking phone. Although I must mention there was no WOOOOOW factor as when I bought Desire last year (Maybe cos it was my first Android :rolleyes: ).

Nevertheless I'm enjoying the phone and so far I'm glad that I didn't take SGS2 (didn't really fit in my hand, although it's faster and I'm not into gaming).

That's about it...good luck with your phone, it's a nice piece of hardware!
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
i too thought i would miss a hardware keyboard, and though i quite like the android onscreen, once i tried swype i never wanted to see physical keyboard every again

[LG Optimus 2x] wuffi123:
hey guys,

i ve really big problems with the android_secure folder on internal sd card.

i install a lot of apps with 91 mobile pc suite direct to sd card and everything works fine.

but before i finished installing all my apps, everytime the .androoid_secure folder gets corrupted.

then market doenwload doesn´t work anymore, i can´t move apps to sd and all my apps i moved/intsalled to sd are disappeared!!!!

they are all gone!! in settings-applications- on sd- they´re still visible, but greyed out and without appsymbols.

i don´t know when exactly it happens, just everytime when i nearly finished installing all my apps, or backed them up with titanium.

sometimes it helps to rename the android_secure folder to somethig different (p.e. android_secure2), reboot, so the phone creates a new one, then move all entries from android_secure2 to android_secure and reboot again.

then the apps are back again. but sometimes it doesn´t help and i got to install all apps again (about 1,4 gb).

so i repeated this procedure about 10 times and spend more then 3 days. so i really don´t know what do do!!! can somebody help me? why the android_secure folder always gets corrupted?? is there a way to get the apps back again??

i already formatted the sd, searched for errors, used sdrescan etc...

please help.

Well I have heard they don't check very deep as long as you have a stock like or stock ROM. But you still run the risk... I would just follow the unrooting method and get it to 100% stock just to be sure they don't try to rape you.

Hi,

Coming from a Desire Z I never got complaints about the audio quality of my carkit (Kenwoord radio with Parrot carkit installed).

Since my Sensation I get complaints from the receiving parties that my voice sounds like heavily (bit) compressed youtube/mp3 audio.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapien89:
Hi,

I got a HTC Legend with a broken screen and digitizer.

I replaced the screen and digitizer without any problems.

I turned on the phone, and the screen went on and showed the android boot screen.

30 seconds later the screen went blank, and now it doesn't work.

It's like the screen displays white/black pixels every second ribbon

The phone still turns on and plays the "startup sound".

I have cheched the ribbon cables, but they all seem fine.

Is the screen broken or is it something else?

Any suggestions to what the problem is?

Thank you for your time :-)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] dkgs:
hello,

I'm using the official lg rom v2.2.1 that came with the phone. I wanted to update to cm7 but I read about the problem with the BT wich I must have. another thing is that I'm using hebrew and I need it to stay that way.

The thing is that the touch screen is very bad and lags a lot.

If I will upgrade only the kernel what will be the affect on the phone and how do I know what is the best kernel for my version ?

In general I want to fix the touchscreen bug and to OC the phone.

thanks for the help.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
If you just want to overcome the touch screen bug then I would suggest using Der_Caveman's Kernel, it is quite old but is usable and removes the touch bug and enables OC.

The kernel wouldn't change any outward appearance of the phone, except maybe increase the quadrant score a bit. If you really want a good performance boost as well then try franco's kernel. Since you are using the stock rom it is recommended to take a nand backup before flashing these kernels. And a kernel doesn't change the system language AFAIK.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dkgs:
Thanks for quick reply. will these two kernels good for froyo 2.2.1 and are there known bugs that I should be aware of before updating ?

As far as read the franco's v18.1 is for 2.3.3...
