[HTC Sensation] cgingermany:
Thanks!

I went ahead and downgraded to RUU 1.29 TMOUS and once it completed the downgrade, under settings/about phone/HTC Software updates and clicked "check now" and it automatically downloaded and installed the 1.45 update. I honestly downgraded just to make sure i could(God forbid I brick this thing or flash some BS the wrong way lol). In case anyone was wondering about that update. Then I had to use thesteps outlined in the OP to S-On through ADB, which was not that that hard to do. Thanks to Alphadog23 and Football for their quality work here as well!

Wierd question but, did you buy it in the US?

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

I could be wrong but I think you should just do a Titanium Backup of your stuff and flash your choice of ROM. Then restore with it. I think I understand where you're coming from because I am a vivid TB user(I flash my phone more than girls gone wild! LOL) and I hate having to re-install everything over and over but TB is a great tool and I'm sure you heard or used it before so I'm sure you feel me on this.... But, again, I think that's your best shot and keeping your apps/data "intact" fam.
[HTC Sensation] DrewMullen:
Yes, it was T-mo US. Good news is that after changing up the rom it stopped power cycling (for now!) However, like you were just saying cgingermany, i kinda want to try it out just to make sure i can or might need to in the future
[HTC Sensation] BlackVision:
Got s-on! But should I change the cid back to Tmo before I do the warranty exchange? I think I have supercid. Ugg that means I have to s-off again. How do I check cid with s-on?

When i enter "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to Turn S-ON it says "fastboot is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
[HTC Sensation] OtaruM:
No RUU

Is there a way to move back to stock with no RUU but having:

1. Full backup (except recovery and hboot obviously)

2. Stock recovery (recovery.img)

3. Stock HBOOT (hboot*.nb0)

?

Will packing stock recovery, hboot and appropriate android_info.txt into PG58IMG.zip and flashing it from sdcard do the job?
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
ok the video makes things really confusing.

so i have to install the stock ruu before doing all these steps?

and does it matter if i install the older version of tmous ruu?
[HTC Sensation] chrisizzle492:
i found a really good video here
[HTC Sensation] jaZzyjeff818:
Why don't I see fastboot.exe? I've done everything already I'm just missing that file and I'm trying to S-ON but when I type the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" I get the message that fastboot is not recognized. Please help. Where can I get fastboot.exe cuz it wasn't in the SDK folder?

I am getting the same error, and i also have tried both RUU's but no luck. have u or anyone found a solution to this error?? If so please let me know, thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
this guide worked for me as i needed to s-on for warranty(dust under screen). also as viper pointed out in post 39, no need for the sdk pack, all u need is adb and the usb driver. anyway pretty easy steps and all is well. also, if you never messed with supercid while s-offing then theres no need to mess with it while s-oning. just download the ruu and go from there :)
[HTC Sensation] brenopoubel:
How can i know what's my correct RUU?

Cause i tried one and i got message 'ERROR[131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR'

Anyone can help ?

Thanks!

Bricked while trying to reset for repair

Hello,

Do you have any idea what to do when the above happens:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19558747&postcount=2956

Can you advise on how to move on from here? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] lK0N:
Flash the phone with a stock ROM then use the RUU. Funny I thought of this solution while I was sleeping.
[HTC Sensation] kbeez34:
Nope. Same results. 151/171 when it tries to reboot into the bootloader. RUU.exe just hangs up there and then quits out stating no USB connection and you are forced to exit.
[HTC Sensation] spdrosin:
Guys I flashed the RUU.exe with success, but bootloader says:

***LOCKED***

"Pyramid PVT Ship S-OFF RL"

Why still S-OFF? Maybe my phone was S-OFF from factory? Can I send it back as is is now for warranty?

Edit: I am ok. I forgot "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" command. Thanx man.
[HTC Sensation] alphadog32:
Try to download a 1.29.x ROM. Or try to extract the ROM plus the boot.img and try to flash it. PM me if you need help. (; good luckk
[HTC Sensation] real187:
you should edit step 12.

flashing a stock ruu wil never get you s-on, its only ment for gettin the stock recovery,rom and hboot on the device, people will get confused.

you always have to give the fastboot command. write...... as you state further in your manual, if you want s-on.
[HTC Sensation] robned:
NAND backup of Stock and S-ON???

Hi,

Noob question maybe, but I have a NAND backup made in Recovery of my original ROM that I have no problems installing after testing several custom ROMs

What happens if I try to S-ON with the NAND backup?

Will it all go to hell?

Furthermore, I'm on a HTC Sensation XE and the only Stock ROM has an LE_Europe attached to the name. Now what on earth is the LE for?

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
followed this thread only problem i had was it would only say waiting for device when i tried the fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command. I booted to bootloader and then went into fastboot and it worked after typing in cd c:\adb < due to i had adb in its own folder

I now have my original ROM on my Sensation XE. All I need to do is remove the root, do the Hboot thing (if that isn't already done during the restore of my stock rom), remove clockwork and put it in S-On
[HTC Sensation] Parthiv:
So stupid of me. Please help. What can I do to bring S-OFF back because I entered "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" with custom rom still inside? I am getting 155 error whenever I tried to flash with stock rom, and I actually do not know what to do.

Thanks for the much needed help.

[HTC Sensation] 1t5_Luc1f3r:
Help!!!!!!!!

:confused:

I need help please as i have to return my HTC Sensation for warranty repair....

OK so this is where I am at with my HTC Sensation......

I have mikes 3.32.401.1 radio installed....

I have rooted device with su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed....

I have super CID to 11111111 as per post instructions in S-OFF post....

I have installed PG58IMG.zip from post http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1542192

Now my issue is my Wi-Fi has ceased to work, a terminal error and my sim card is very temperamental on which sim card I use, have contacted HTC and they are ready to do a RMA for repair under warranty as my provider will not replace.

So to do this I need to revert back to stock orange rom and CID and hboot 1.17, well I can revert back to hboot 1.17 and orange stock rom but I am unable to change CID from 11111111 to ORANG001 which I presume I have to do as not to invalidate my warranty and then obviously I need to S-ON

Could someone please help me return my CID to ORANG001 and S-ON my device so I can RMA the thing to get a working phone please.

Looking forward to the help!! Thanks guys!
[HTC Sensation] scotty1223:
revolutionary hboot for sensation does not protect itself from being overwritten. all you need to do is:

download and run the RUU

this will put you back on stock software/firmware with s-off.

now just turn s back on with the "write secureflag3" command.
[HTC Sensation] sickorwuut:
Can anyone help me I have the security warning and when i try to flash the ruu it says signature error? Signature isnt even spelled right on the RUU I downloaded it reads SIGNARURE is incorrect.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugawolfSense:
so first i flashed [ROM][01/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT

and it did work perfectly, except when i started to backup apps, it didn't put those to ext4 partition i made, it put those to internal mem and i ran out of space pretty soon. Tried to work my way somehow, but didn't find any useful tips.

So then i flashed [ROM][01/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin STOCK 1.0.9

and same thing, except this time i made ext3, but apps are still going to internal memory, even tho that both of these should automatically transfer apps to ext? partition.

Steps i made if someone sees something wrong:

1. Rooted with unrevoked

2. Changed recovery to Amon Ra

3. Backed up everything

4. Formatted and partitioned SD

5. Flashed ROM

i don't think i made anything wrong since everything is working perfectly, but what do i know, i'm just stupid construction worker with only basic technical knowledge.

So if i need something or need to do something, please help me.

if important, that CM7 hboot was with A2SD and Stock Hboot is with A2SD+

S*HIT, i'm too confused :D but that sense 3.0 is really beautiful and this whole thing made my desire to be in new level
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugawolfSense:
Naah, figured out already. Now 150 apps and still almost 110mb free space at internal memory :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SugawolfSense:
Don't know bro, stubborn as I am, I flashed it 3rd time and it worked.

To be exact I flashed that [ROM][01/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin STOCK 1.0.9

with 1gb ext3.

Doubled my score in quadrant earlier today ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] theratdude64:
I am currently rooted running Bloody Beast, every time I swap my ROM's I have to re-setup my home screens. I usually use Launcher Pro and Backup/Restore that way, but now that I'm on HTC Sense I wanna actually use it.

The reason I ask is I am nervous to just fully backup HTC Sense in Titanium Backup, I have royally glitched up my system restoring things like that in the past and want to avoid that. Is there one specific item titanium backup can do that does the desktops alone?
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
I just back up HTC Sense (the one with icon that looks like the home screen) and restore that and haven't had any issues whatsoever.
[HTC EVO 3D] ifly4vamerica:

[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Thanks guys. Did not know this...good to know.
[HTC EVO 3D] Prengepower:
It doesn't work quite very well on ICS with Sense 4, because my ROM (PkMn 5.1) works before restoring homescreens very well. After restoring it, my screens look backuped correctly, but after a few minutes my phone reboots. This happens all the time until I delete the data of htc sense. So is there another way? I tried it with MyBackupPro, but nothing happens. The app tells me just that everything worked fine but I can't recognize a correct solution.

Thanks ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] gbL420:
I need help replacing the LCD and touch screen, i ordered a replacement LCD and touch screen from ebay but it only came with the pry tool not any screw drivers, i have my own but they dont seem to fit not even the smallest bit. if someone has tried this please help me out or if another samsung phone is similar link me, thanks

the cracks are on the LCD panel, not plastic layer
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
get the replacment screen first, see what's included. it should be pretty east. the infuse comes apart pretty straitforward. just six screws a lot of prying. i didnt do a screen repacement so im not sure of everything. i just took it apart for s's&g's.

get a "precision scredriver set" or the little screwdriver for an eye glass repair set.

also you got all you nomenclature wrong. the infuse doesnt have an lcd. it uses amoled technology(samoled+). and the protective glass is just that. glass, garilla glass from corning to be precise. but you could call the amoled screen a tft (thin film transistor) i believe. not positive but i think tft applies to lcd as well as amoled
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
i think what your going to need here is to heat up the from of the phone to get the screen to separate from the body of the phone. i looks like it is set up like the iPhone, glued to the frame. so if you see glue while prying it just heat it up real good then just separate it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
not sure bit most replacement screens I've seen for.Samsung phones have a lot more than the Tft. I don't think he'll need to separate the glass. but I guess that all depends on the screen he buys.

other than maybe for glass removal no glue is used that I can see. it is a pain to pry apart but it is not easy to break the plastic either. Samsung uses some tough plastics. a lot tougher than what HTC uses.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] t0mmyr:
FARK! so i just f'ed up an infuse, we ordered the outer glass and back casing from china, it came today, and when i went to disassemble the infuse i found out the hard way that the digitizer was glued to the glass, not just around it but entirely, upon pulling it out the bottom (actual lcd) cracked :( the outer glass was already in glass shards and peices so i couldnt cleanly separate the glass from the digitizer, everything just went to hell, i tried putting it back together as it was functional before with just a cracked screen but now nothing comes up on the screen, sounds and vibration work but we cant answer phone calls :( wasted $40 to china and now have to get a complete top assembly to repair this phone :( :(

Watch those Youtube videos over and over until you have the process down, and even watch and pause the video as you follow actually doing it. Ive done this with the iPhone HTC Aria and a couple other ones.. never had to with my Infuse.

I always have my Otterbox case on! Dropped TWO stories off a big metal forging machine at my work... phone still works great! True story!

How do you like your ballistic case? I just ordered one for my friends LG Nitro because the otterbox isn't available for it yet..

Looks to be around the same price.. but might have a little more protection... and the option of running it without the outside rubber case.... that might be a nice option for when I am not at work....

I love my Otterbox... but sometimes its just to f****** bulky!

[Samsung Infuse 4G] erik111111:
Well, then you would lose the bet

You would lose the bet. I fix stuff in my home, I repair my own car, I replaced the outer housing on my Infuse, etc.

I just am smart enough to investigate what a repair entails, what it will cost, what the options are and how to do it before I start a project.

The ebay screens and digitizers are typically more expensive then having samsung do it. And while I think I could replace the screen/digitizer why would I take the chance of screwing it up AND pay more when Samsung will do it cheaper????

[LG Revolution] Tomn8tr:
Nevermind, I now see the answer in another thread :-)
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Anyone wondering about the OTA please read this!

If you have CWM installed, you won't be able to take the OTA.

For now, I'd suggest staying away from it until I get a chance to look it over first.

Also, if you're running my decrapified ROM, installing the OTA would bootloop your device since decrapified is deodexed and the OTA would be odexed.

In the next day or so (whenever I get access to the OTA zip file), I'll disassemble it and see what changes it contains (like if it has a new recovery, or new kernel, or changes the board configuration) I'll post back here to let y'all know.

UPDATE

It appears that the update is safe to install for those running the revo stock (not decrapified) ROM.

It makes changes to quite a lot-- new boot.img, new LTE RIL, new CDMA RIL, new LTE baseband ROM, changes to the recovery system to bring it in line with normal Android (still not very 'normal', but normal as in "now contains an installrecovery.sh that android can use"), and a bunch of new ODEX files.

Let me stress this and make it perfectly clear: this update will NOT work if you're running decrapified ROM.

In the next day or so, I'll make an updated decrapified ROM (see? I was waiting for a good reason to make an update :) ) that will include the OTA in it.

Until then, relax and keep hitting that "ignore" button :)

There are several things that I do not like about the Decrapified ROM

1. The 3 buttons on the bottom (Phone / App Drawer / Browser) sometimes vanish. Only way to fix it is to reboot

2. When you dock the phone into the car mount, the Navigation doesn't do anything. It would be nice to launch your own GPS app or the Google Navigation app. There are other activities that do nothing.
