HTC Sensation's problems after customize my ROM

Hi everyone,

I flashed my HTC Sensation with the ROM Insertcoin ICS 4.0.5 with HTC Sense 3.5 (then updated to 4.0.6). The phone is now really amazing with voice control, beats audio and the new menu design. However, I encounter some problems now: in the notification panel I can see that mobile network is OFF whereas it's ON. Touching the icon doesn't change anything (i.e I can't set the mobile network OFF). Secondly, I'm not able to change the locked screen shortcuts (in the parameters menu, I can enable/disable the function but there's not the change choice anymore). Finally, the biggest problem: I often get messages saying applications has crashed even if they are not opened (for example: "The application "Facebook" has stopped). I managed to find if I was alone in this case but didn't find anything. Is there some softs I can download to fix it? I really like this ROM so I posted on this forum before downgrade to my 2.3.4 original ROM.

Thanking you in advance and sorry for my english :D

EDIT: I downgraded to my official HTC ROM because there's too many bugs in the InsertCoin ICS 4.0.6 Beta ROM (unable to hang up calls, no response from tactile, etc, etc...)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] randomredmage:
OK, so since I am new to this whole Android thing, and smartphones in general, last one being an old Audiovox running windows xp portable or whatever its called. Anyway, I am planning on unlocking the bootloader and flashing a new rom/recovery to my Dinc2. The HRCDev site mentioned the process would wipe my phone, that's fine by me, however I just want to make sure that after all that is said and done. Will I have to resetup my phone with my service provider? Or is all that info safe and sound on the simcard?

Sorry for the incredibly noobish question. I understand just about everything about this stuff... It's little more than a pocket sized computer. I am guessing at the simcard holding the account info for making clls and such, and the data wipe being more on the side of factory reset. Just looking for confirmation. [I hate dealing with Customer Service on this stuff.]

Hello all,

I may be new to this forum, but I'm no stranger to what the majority of people refer to as "hacking" cellular devices (lots of experience with ios and Apple devices on principle). So, when I ran accross the issue I'm having with my HTC Sensation 4G, I was, despite all the research I could do, very embarrassed.

What I'm dealing with is this:

I wanted to root and flash a new ROM over my HTC Sensation 4G, so I unlocked my bootlader via HTC, downloaded ClockWorkMod Recovery (latest version), and proceeded into the rooting process. BUT, when I went to gain S-OFF, ClockWorkMod had wiped my factory ROM, as well as any trace of the back up i had done of it. Also, the root went through without gaining S-OFF, meaning the only screens I can access are ClockWorkMod Recovery and the HBOOT screens.

So my question is this: As I cannot install any unsigned ROMs at the moment (I'm stuck in S-ON and cannot get it to S-OFF without a ROM installed), is there a way to reinstall the factory ROM and start over? ClockWorkMod Recovery can't restore the device because my factory image is completely gone, and the tutorial on unrooting I've been using could work if I had a pre-existing ROM. I would post a link to it for reference, but I'm under eight posts, so I can't post outside links as of yet.

Am I certifiably boned, or is this something you fine folks might be able to shed some light on? I pose this to you, the gurus. Please be gentle, as I'm green on this forum. :o

Cheers,

Ravenfire737

My above post aside (as it makes me sound like a noob to a degree), if your root is done properly, your information should be completely safe on that SIM. A root and reflash will not delete any data from your SIM.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] realdraickin:
Hi everyone!

I own a wildfire s and recently updated to 2.3.5. Then, using the guide at htcdev.com I unlocked the bootloader and after that I used one of the guides in this forum to root my device (I tested with a terminal app by typing "su" and the "#" appeared so I guess that means that rooting worked).

Now, here's the problem. I only wanted to get root access so that I could use an oc kernel. So, without any knowledge in the matter I downloaded the wfs kernels from the roms/recovery/guides/kernel/root thread. I flashed one of the kernels without knowing that I had to wipe cache, dalvik etc. and the phone wouldn't boot. Then I tried flashing another one after wiping and that didn't boot either. I tried a third kernel and booted as far as the pin unlock screen, but I noticed some graphical glitches in the upper right corner and after entering the pin the phone restarted on its own. Is there any way to recover from this? Like flashing a stock rom or a stock kernel?

Now, the bootloader starts after I remove the battery so I hope that means my device isn't bricked...

If anyone can help or point me to the right direction thank you in advance. Also, if I apologize if I posted in the wrong topic, feel free to redirect me...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pirateghost:
There are these things from HTC called RUU's. They will put the factory image back on. You will have to relock the bootloader though. After your factory image you can re-unlock the bootloader with your bin file from htcdev.

Although I don't think you understand that you can install a rom WITHOUT S-off. You just have to manually flash the boot.img (kernel)

You really should be posting these questions in the sensation forums. Its probably already been answered as such also.

As for the person with the mytouch. Post your question in the mytouch section. There are a lot of people there with the answer. The people with the answer probably don't read this thread since its a generic thread not dedicated to their device. I don't really understand people posting questions on this thread when they have a section dedicated to your device. I completely understand it for those devices without dedicated forums.

Excellent! I had tried the RUU for my version of the stock ROM, but to no avail. I'll head over to the Sensation forum again--though I was coming up empty while researching there. I just needed to verify that all was not lost. Time to head into the kernel... Thanks again!

Busybox, Titanium backup and Superuser all work fine but when I reboot/restart the devise my root is gone.

Use superonklick once again and it's rooted again. Turn it off, root gone.

So it's temporary or what? Can't find it in that topic?

Until now I managed to root the tablet and installed the latest firmware via pc.

I also am able to access the recovery mode.

Now i am looking for a possibility to backup my current rom to edit it.

How to do that? I am unable to install clockworkmod recovery 3.x.x.x via rom manager. Tried the dell strek 7-recovery but rom manager crashed. Rom manager also crashes when i try to backup the current rom.

Someone got a idea how to backup the rom?

I just got an Asus Eee Pad TF101 Transformer (using Android 3.2.1) and I'm awfully confused about how to root it. I plan to root it for these two reasons:

Get rid of bloatware

Install anti-ad software to block ads in stock browser

Can anyone point me in the right direction? All of the posts I've read seem littered with jargon I don't understand and I'm not even sure if this would be the best course of action to take. I feel like my reasons are innocent enough, so is rooting even right for me? Sadly from what I researched it seems like its the only way for me to accomplish these goals.

!!! URGENT! Help REQUIRED !!!

Hi there,

I am new to this and I wanted to root my HTC Desire HD! Now, it is in some stupid state, where it cannot boot into the OS. It goes to show the HTC screen and vibrates at the same time, but that's as far as it goes. I can do recovery mode, factory reset and "update" it with the package that is left on the SD card, but neither of those help...

I seem to get some "E:\ Can't open /cache/recovery/command" error.

I cannot even get the SD card through Windows, as the phone does not boot all the way...

I used the Ace Hack tool and did the downgrade fine. Then, it started to show some errors on the device screen, but finally managed to get it to go through ClockworkMod and confirmed the package installation - using the latest ICS ROM that I found on Android Authority.com

I am really worried that I have bricked it and I'm panicking, as this would have voided the warranty, right? On top of everything, it's a work phone, so they will not be very happy with me if I cannot at least get it back to the original state...

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!

I will respond asap and give you more info if required.

Please move this post in a different category if required...

Need Help with Sprint Galaxy S2

Hello all,

I have a bit of a problem on my hands with this samsung galaxy s2.

It was given to me by a friend who tried his luck at rooting/flashing

his phone.

Long story short, he told me he flashed a kernel to get temp. root access,

then ran a one click root. All was well until he tried flashing ICS 4.03 with Odin.

Apparently towards the end of the process (i believe Odin says its in the writing stage) he says it took about half hour until he just finally got impatient and pulled out his USB cable from the phone.

Onto the issues with the phone....

1. It boots into Android, Download Mode, and Recovery

2. Theres absolutely no communication (wifi, bluetooth, data, call, or USB)

3. Says SDcard needs to be formatted, tried formatting one I had laying around,

didnt take any data off and seemed to not detect anything there at all.

Guys im stumped on this one.... I can't for the life of me get this thing connected to

my computer to try and flash a stock kernel onto it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Note: All Samsung drivers from kies are correctly installed onto the PC, including USB Debugged and normal. And I've tried both to connect to no avail.
