Tell them at Radio Shack they are full of ****! I am a store manager for them and there is a specific memo that went out company wide yesterday to allow returns of ALL demo's sold. It said NOTHING about condition so they CAN NOT tell you no.
[TouchPad General] KnightRid:
VERY nice to know! ok as soon as I figure out the preware and impostah thing, I am gonna do it :)
[TouchPad General] Mattatha:
Just remember the world is all about WHO you know not necessarily What you know lol!
[TouchPad General] KnightRid:
no doubt!

Running the webos file now..WOOHOO, off we go
[TouchPad General] KnightRid:
one step people may need is you have to add your java bin directory to your environment variables (that is what it is in windows 7 anyway) in order to run the java -jar devicetool.jar command.

also to install preware you have to type the webos20090606 in the just type line to get to developer mode but then I get lost lol - doesnt give me any quick install thing so I am going to read a bit more ;)
[TouchPad General] Mattatha:
There is a Java Preware you can use/ Run it through command prompt then you can bring up the list of apps and install them via USB cable.
[TouchPad General] KnightRid:
ok, did hp unlock these all of a sudden? I restarted after realizing i put a developers password in and it took me through the setup and now it has a webos account under my name..??

I just checked by clicking on it in the accounts section and it asked for pw, I entered, everything showed up - gonna try apps now'

I NEVER INSTALLED PREWARE.

IT WORKED! I dont know what happened but I never installed preware or did the impostah part, I just did the erase all option, restarted and it let me sign up!
[TouchPad General] v-dub guy:
Demo touchpads have been unlocked!!!

So I got up today ready to call HP and try and get my demo touchpad unlocked to use and I tried one last time and it let me set it up all the way running great just thought I'd let you Guys know
[TouchPad General] mikeyfg:
ok guys is this what everyone has at the accounts screen? How is there an account but I cannot sign in?

http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/mikeyfg/?action=view&current=accounts_2011-22-08_174428.png
[TouchPad General] mikeyfg:
how do you set it up?
[TouchPad General] v-dub guy:
Just doctor to 3.0 or 3.02 and when you boot it up it will work just like a regular touchpad... set launguage create account ...
[TouchPad General] mikeyfg:
I suppose I'll lose all my pics music etc ect?
[TouchPad General] mikeyfg:
can this be done with secure full erase?
[TouchPad General] techpreneur:
Your unit is about to ship. Mine was on back order on the 20th. Today I was looking and it wouldn't let me cancel either. (Not that I was going too) I just got an email saying my unit has shipped from Best Buy.
[TouchPad General] null_x86:
tl;dr

I work at Staples as an Easy Tech. Another store in our district sold the demo unit and they had to return it (manager purchased a live unit as well as the demo) because the demo wont go past the steps for the WebOS account. The mananger said they already tried calling HP and having them walk thru the steps of going thru and reformatting it and doing a factory reset. Mananger called the District Manager, and the DM said that if they didnt work, that they are more then likely RTV. Im going to check with my manager today and see what happens with the Demo. If I can get my hands on it, I will see what I can get going with it. My theory is that we can "reinstall" the stock software on it, because the hardwares all there, nothing missing on the demo on that front, the software is just different.

AFAIK, Best Buy, RadioShack, OfficeMax/OfficeDepot, and even some Staples stores (depending on district) have the demos marked as RTV. Not damages/destroy, but RTV. Why? I dont know, because its a discontinued product, so it should be damaged/destroyed, not RTV. Like I said, Ill find out more tomorrow and update here.
[TouchPad General] freakpunker:
I'm unable to see the Paid Apps. Is it because it's a demo unit?
[TouchPad General] KnightRid:
You are right - got a shipping notice yesterday :) Wife was playing with the one I have here last night and seems interested so I may keep both instead of ebaying one of them ;)
[TouchPad General] eliezerlp:
Did you select PR as your Country? When I first set it up I selected US Virgin Islands and it didnt allow me access to paid apps. Had to restore and and create a new profile...
[TouchPad General] freakpunker:
Thanks! I've made the reset, and selected United States when I opened the App Catalog for 1st time. Is there no way to change the country after this?

Update:

Now, every time I try to access the App Catalog it says: "the action could not be completed". I think it detects that my IP Address is from PR, and it doesn't let me access it. =/ I change it back to PR, and I can see the free apps.
[TouchPad General] xx_bluedev_xx:
Also can't access App catalog

registered my demo unit today, app catalog won't load :0
[TouchPad General] freakpunker:
I've clicked the "Erase Apps & Data" button, and after that I'm unable to access the catalog. When I access "Device Info", the HP WEBOS ACCOUNT field is in blank. I remember the first time I "doctored" it, there was something like FIRST_USE_BLAH_BLAH...

Now, no matter what I do (doctor, bypass, etc.), that field is always in blank, and I'm not able to create or login to a webOS account. =/

Looked up and saw that some people recommend wiping cache and dalvik before flashing kernel is this something I should do, I'm running MIUI 1.8.19 and want to flash a Tiamat Kernel
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Yes. Always.
[EVO 4G General] ZombiiBite:
Thank you, appreciate it very much!
[EVO 4G General] ZombiiBite:
What's the best app for managing the kernel, so I can take full advantage of it?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Setcpu is pretty good if you're not using a rom with it built in (such as CM7)
[EVO 4G General] spider2346:
First and foremost if your flashing anything always make a nandroid, you can never go wrong in that department. Wipe cache/dalvik 2x each (preferably with Amon_RA), Flash kernel, reboot... Rinse and repeat every time.

[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
I know some of the rules here for posting content on XDA are a little relaxed compared to some other sites (ROMs, links, etc.), leaving more in the way of personal responsibility; a very good thing, in my opinion. However, how is this not stealing? I mean, assuming you don't meet the qualifications listed in the terms and conditions, and you use false information to obtain the voucher. That seems at least shady to me, and at worst outright theft.
[HTC Sensation] thefsfempire:
Just for kicks I gave it a shot. Switched my SuperCID to VODAP001 and tried. Disabled GPS, changed timezone but it still detects me as USA and will not let me use anything other than a credit card.

This does not appear to work for TMOUS (I even tried a different account aside from my exsiting Watch account).
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
True but its like all the other threads out there regarding getting a free back cover or exchanging your phone for a bricked or faulty one when u did it yourself

But my Sensation originally was a vodafone, then HTC lost it and replaced it with an unbranded one, i created a thread about it in June. So isn't that shady for losing my phone then replacing it with one where i lose my £60.00 voucher after 3 weeks. and then giving me the new one with a rubbish AUO screen compared to the clear sharp screen. And when i complained they acknowledged it was different but couldnt give me a sharp one again. i went and bought another one for £350 and sold it for £320 after swapping the screens .

Alot of things are shady.

ANyhow to satisfy the your concerns ill amend my post and ask people not to read it if they are not entitled to it. simple
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I see are you on stock rom or custom
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
same here. I'm on virtuous
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
ok it didnt work?
[HTC Sensation] MohElShafei:
Working like a charm .. Thank you so much :)
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
Nope. No luck
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Well, if you say so. I am not the Internet Police, and do not care to be. Just pointing out something that seems a bit more blatantly like stealing than the exchange situation you describe. FYI, this deal is clearly for Vodaphone customers, not those that just have a Vodaphone branded phone.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
exactly, i was a vodafone customer and i do stil have my voda pay and go sim lol

Also not exactly Voda customers can take advantage of it, but other customers.

It says Congratulations on choosing your HTC Sensation from Vodafone.

The Vodafone Sensation comes branded and unlocked

i registered it with my o2 mobile number when i first got it. in june

And in effect every single Voda branded handset. whether you buy it on contract or sim free for another network. you did "choose to buy a sensation

from

Vodafone"
[HTC Sensation] woody21:
:D working fine for me :D Thankyou
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:

Vodafonecustomers who should get their voucher but couldnt. now can get it.
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Didnt work for me. In the Watch app, it still shows my region as USA. Any way I can change that? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] jacksparr0w:

[HTC Sensation] zylith:
Same for me- Damn you Tmobile
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
you mean the same way we are tricking our carriers into thinking we still have they rom on our phone ,whats the difference there is none nobody on here is going to go to there carrier and say for example im tmobileus im not going to tell them i have a eu rom on my phone.so theres nothing wrong with this
[HTC Sensation] shadowblade12:
Yeah not sure if we can change the region. HTC Watch basically determines your region via WiFi or Data connection, so unless we can manually change the region or trick it there isn't anything we can do.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
lol exactly but im not going to be active much in this thread. there are quite alot of vodafone customers out there from UK, and possibly other eu countries that are not on stock anymore but they may still be paying vodafone. so why not get their free rightful voucher. thats why i put the disclaimer up. this is recommended for vodafone users but anyone else who uses it. its on their head not mine. ive asked them not to if they are not entitled to. lol
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Will work for tmous Users or any other Sensation as long as a Uk vodafone customer will share his login with u. Each login can be used on 5 devices

Thanks ikhzter for sharing yours with me. Donation coming your way!

guys pm ikhzter to see if he will share his user pass with u.

Once again thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
thanks ikhzter. If anyone in the US needs help send a pm to him
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
Are you seriously comparing this to installing a custom ROM on a phone you OWN? I am having trouble following your logic. Modifying, unlocking, customizing a phone is different than stealing a service. Whatever you do to the phone, you are still paying for the service. Yes, this is pretty easy to do, especially considering the potential benefit. Yes, their verification is pretty weak, relatively. Maybe they don't care. Maybe if you call them up and say, "hey, I am not a Vodafone customer, but I used to be, and I actually own one of your Sensations. Can I get this free offer?" They may say yes. Maybe not. I don't know. All I am saying is that now one yet has offered up a logical argument as to why this is not stealing. Sure seems obvious to me that it is.
[HTC Sensation] Warhero141:
Keeps saying invalid code for me. Tried 2 different codes.

If you're using TMOUS 2.3.3 you're going to need to use a different ROM.

I used InsertCoin and it worked perfectly.

If you need any help ikhzter is very helpful so send him a PM.

[HTC Sensation] Apollo-2:
It is the job of *every* individual to do what is right, regardless of whether you are in a brick and mortar store or 'on the internet'. Theft of service is theft, even if you enjoy it. That being said, the 'snitches' in society are people who keep politicians, companies, and even your boss honest. They are the guys who tell you when your girlfriend cheats on you.

Hacks can be used for good or bad. Do good!

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Your right which is why I recommend this to voda costumers who changed their cid on how to change it back and claim their voucher but not encouraging other customers. They try at their own risk
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Since we're getting into philosophical discussions, I would like to point out that private property is a scam and that the capitalists have stolen from us slop, to get where they are and are continuing to steal every day. Mobile phone providers are also thieves in the way they bill us for per gb internet access and hide fees.

Also there is no absolute truth except that absolute truth either does not exist or at the very best is unknowable and unverifiable by humans.

Working class people living with the morals taught to us by the bourgeois ruling class are a detriment to the working class. Relax, and think for yourselves. Thanks for the interesting and informative post.

Capitalism is indeed organized crime, and we are all the victims.

Have you tried updating to the newest HTC Watch app?

On a different note:

Does anyone know if we can DLNA videos from HTC Watch to another DLNA capable device? i.e TV or Computer?

I found the video files on my SD card, but I can't watch it on my computer due to DRM.

If all else fails. You could always try a custom rom or factory reset after you backup everything.

Not seeing the basket is your only problem right? You could try a different Custom Rom as well.

Terminal / ADB / MAC OSX / FASTBOOT

@ Viper - you might want to add this to your guides! ##**NOT SPAMMING**##

Anyone with a MAC OSX and needs to use ADB - heres how!

INSTALLATION

1. go to https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the mac version.

2. drag n drop it to your applications folder and navigate to - /tools/ and click on the 'android'

3. a terminal window wil open then seconds later the android sdk will also -> go to 'available packages' and find the "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Android SDK Tools" tick the checkbox and download!

4. go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and download "fastboot mac" (at the bottom in the center)

5. rename it to "fastboot" -> drag n drop to /Applications/android sdk xxxxxxx/platform-tools

6. setup is done!

Now For The Commands!

1. navigate to /applications/android sdk xxxxxxxxx/platform-tools -> click adb and a terminal window will open

2. on a mac in terminal, you need to type "./" before each command!

example ->

./adb devices

./adb reboot bootloader

./fastboot getvar cid

./fastboot write oem 11111111

./fastboot reboot bootloader

./fastboot getvar cid

./fastboot reboot

quick note -> htc claims fastboot is also a package in the android repository, I couldn't find it! plus its already to rock from them on htc's dev site, so why not
[HTC Sensation] beautyfiend:
Can you transfer purchases on HTC Watch?

Not sure if this is a stupid question but am a vodafone customer and sucessfully got the £60 voucher but is there a way to transfer the films from your phone to your computer?

Seems a bit weird to spend (well technically didn't spend anything as used the voucher but you get my point!) money buying a film that you can only play on your phone and given SD card sizes may have to delete when you run out of space? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
You can redownload if you delete and you can copy the file to your PC but won't be able to play it on the PC due to DRM. There is info in a previous post that explains where it is on your SD card.

You can also get a lead that will allow you to connect the phone to your TV's HDMI socket and watch it on that.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yes there. Put Ye connect in SD card mode. On it SD card is a folder called .data

Yes with a full stop.
