[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I've come into possession of an Arc that belongs to a friend. She says she's been having error messages & force closes (although it's done nothing but run perfectly for me so far today - sod's law!).

It's running 2.3.2 Build 3.0.A.2.181 and after a quick look through the dev and general section here, I gather I can root it using Gingerbreak, and install a standard 2.3.3 rom.

* Any known issues with (2.3.3) 4.0.A.2.368 or 3.0.1.A.0.145?

* Is there any reason for me not to go with 4.0.A.2.368?

* Also, is there any Nandroid or equivalent for the Arc yet?

Ideally I want to root, back up the current rom (as it has all my friend's preferred setup), and then install an updated rom.

* If there's no Nandroid then I assume I can just downgrade back to 3.0.A.2.181 by flashing that rom?

It all seems straightforward and I'm far from new to rooting/flashing (HTCs mainly), but just thought I'd check in case I'd missed something, as I don't have time to properly read all the Arc forums before I deal with this phone tonight! :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
The Namaste guide is worth reading and should help.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I did read that, and it's quite comprehensive so that's why I feel confident in the process. What I really need to know is, are there any show-stopping bugs in the newer roms? I don't want to go through the hassle of rooting and flashing a new rom if there are obvious problems with it?

Also no mention in the guide of nandroid/backups (unless I'm being blind - very possible!) :-D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Might be an idea to find out if the bootloader can be unlocked first and unless it was bought simfree it probably can't unless you pay for it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
It's a TMobile phone, although unlocked since my friend uses a 3 sim, and I've had a Vodafone sim in it all day.

I've been reading a bit more and apparently the Arc doesn't have a recovery partition, so no ClockWorkMod - how would unlocking the bootloader help me with back ups?

I've only ever used Nandroid as part of CWM (as I said before, I'm an HTC guy).

EDIT: Forget that last part, of course the bootloader would need to be unlocked, I'm being der....

In which case I guess my only options are to use something like Titanium (once it's rooted) to backup apps, and then restore later on.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
My bootloader isn't unlocked so can't really advise on that front, and as I only really need to root I'm not too fused for now, but would make life a tad easier I guess.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShyamSasi:
Arc does not have a Recovery partition but using Custom Kernel our Developers has made CWM Recovery possible. There is a backup and restore function. But only work with unlocked bootloader. You would need to use Fastboot Mode and flash the kernel.

[HTC Sensation] johnny0313x:
I've reviewed some of the ROM comments and browsed around on the net but can't seem to come to a conclusion on if I should root my device or not. I had a T-mobile G2 before and it was rooted. I loved testing out other roms and finding ones that works best as well as obviously the boosts in speeds.

The Sensation to me feels more complete and aside from some useless apps and the occasional glitchy things that happen with it I'm pretty satisfied overall.

Can anyone provide some positive user experiences with rooting their devices or if some of the roms correct some of the known issues with the Sensation reliable without causing other issues lol?

I'm really up in the air about this and can't decide, what do you guys think?
[HTC Sensation] meegs:
I rooted my sensation just Cos I did the same to my old x10 mini, I found rooting it was easy following the guide on here and flashing new roms is easy too, all I can suggest is that you read the instructions, try different roms to see which one works for you and don't forget that rooting voids your warranty
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
When flashing custom roms are you losing all installed apps each time and finding you need to restore via titanium? I ask because I've seen threads say you do and don't lose your installed apps and data.
[HTC Sensation] JERYKO:
Heyya,

I'm pretty new here and my experience with android devices was 0 up to three weeks ago when i decided to buy the sensation. I then stumbled upon XDA dev forum and now i'm hooked :D.

I decided to root and flash a custom rom three days after getting the phone... as far as eye candy goes Sense is brilliant but the functionality is 0.

The whole process of installing clockwork, perm rooting and flashing a custom rom took exactly twenty minutes and was no hassle at all.

At the moment i run P3d Neon-No Sense and the phone is a whole lot better. Battery life is double, RAM consumption is 1/2 and overall the performance is great.

So... my advice... root and flash away!
[HTC Sensation] johnny0313x:
Thanks jeryko that's the kinda thing I was looking to hear. The sensations touch screen is the only reason I'm Leary about voiding the warrenty with rooting. If you unroot the device can they still tell?

I love sense I think it integrates things nicely and visually (with the exception of a few minor things) and gives a way more polished premium feel to devices. However as stated above it does bog down the phone a bit...even with the dual core. HTC really should have added 1gb of ram I think. Overall though my phones not slow just sometimes a little stutter here and there.
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
ive rooted my sensation, well i at least i did / was rooted before the update came out. to be honest i haven't seen any reason to reroot. i still have a unlocked boot loader but the urge to root and flash roms isnt really there for me yet. this is probably because i am happy with sense 3.0 and the phone doesnt lag for me at all after the latest update. the only real thing that will probably get me to root again is when a good aosp rom releases or CM7. i really miss having then bluetooth capabilities of a stock aosp rom
[HTC Sensation] JERYKO:
No problem. Well... the sensation has it's drawbacks but price/quality it's definitely worth the money.

About the warranty issue... can't really tell you... I've read on the forum that you can Switch back to stock rom and kernel and S-ON again but the procedure (for S-ON) is a bit risky and frankly i have no clue if after you go through all that there's any way of telling that the phone has been tampered with... you'll have to ask the older and wiser folks around here for a knowledgeable answer.
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
Root it, stop delaying the inevitable.

[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
And that's why I don't regret going s-off and flashing custom ROMs. Root just comes with the territory.

Funny thing, I went custom on my Sensation within the first week while I left my wife's stock. Fast forward three weeks later, I was pretty satisfied with the speed and stability on my phone. I pick up my wife's phone and unlock it to surf the net. First thing that happens? Random restart and back to the HTC splash screen. Really?? I'd totally forgotten about the random restarts and choppy home screen scrolling. Ended up s-offing that thing and flashing a custom ROM that same night. She hasn't complained about her phone since.
[HTC Sensation] johnny0313x:
I'm so tempted....you guys are evil lol Seriously though the only thing holding me back is the warrenty being voided. I didn't care so much with my G2(that thing was the most reliable phone ever) but the sensation is still new and I'm skeptical about how long the hardware will keep up and all. My biggest complaint would be the volume on some things ...everything else works great though except an occasional lack of response until I lock and unlock the phone...which is rare.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The ONLY reason I rooted was to remove the apps I don't want to use. I'm running my own ROM which is a basic version of 1.45.401.2 with all the crap I don't want removed. If it didn't have the **** on the ROM in the first place I probably wouldn't have bothered to root it
[HTC Sensation] knuhkles:
Agreed....
[HTC Sensation] hawkml:
I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I could and started loading custom ROMs. I've been running the P3D ROM (Sense version) for a few weeks now, and it's doubled my battery life plus it's faster. My brother has his Sensation still S-ON stock (latest OTA update) and we compared it side by side and we both agreed mine is noticeably faster. I also like the blue neon theme with that ROM.

Even that particular ROM aside, I've had generally better battery life with anything other than the stock ROM. That alone is enough reason to do it IMO.

Ok I know that I am a noob to rooting and installing roms. Currently I am on my second one Android Revolution HD™ 3.0.3. Rooting it was the best thing I've done. i wish I would have gotten the balls to root years ago!:D
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Hi, I know I asked earlier but when you flash a new Rom do you lose all your apps and data? I see many people flashing new roms weekly and daily and am just wondering how you deal with all your apps and data. I can't imagine everyone starting from scratch each time. I know titanium can do a batch restore, is that what everyone does? (Sorry for my noobish behavior in this thread.)
[HTC Sensation] VenomGT:
I am very happy with my rooted Sensation. My previous phone was a rooted Nexus One. I can say that rooting is a great way of customizing your phone to your liking. :D
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
Titanium batch, best app purchase for the crack flasher. I timed myself, 30 mins tops to go from one rom to another ;)

We should have root access out of the box. Too much fun stuff, but impossible to find a ROM perfect for you. Your going to tweak something eventually

[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
Honestly, i am in the same position as the OP. I rooted my HD2 to run android. It allowed me the freedom to get off Windows and try Android, now I'm hooked. However, I have had two issues with the Sensation. I hate Sense because it is too heavy and I do not like the installed bloat.

I got rid of Sense by using Launcher Pro. problem solved. I just have the bloat problem. I will not lie, the voiding of the HTC agreement with rooting has added pause to my step. But more importantly, unlike with the HD2, I am not seeing a general consensus on a truly great ROM. NO OFFENSE to the developers. Still trying to decide if I want to make the move.
[HTC Sensation] Utorrent76:
Nothing but positives.
[HTC Sensation] doctorlirio:
Rooted, SuperCID, ENG HBOOT, SIM unlock, different ROMs including latest android 2.3.5 ones, different kernels... you name it. I´ve done all those things in my sensation and everything has gone as smooth and easy as one could possibly expect. Just a little bit of reading around the dev section and following the instructions. A really great experience that makes me remember the good HD2 and Desire ones. :p
[HTC Sensation] Zeveronian:
I flashed SuperLite on my Sensation and couldn't be happier, so much faster and smoother and without all the bloatware and (non)sense.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
The ability to freeze processes without deleting them has been a godsend in freeing up resources for me. Wasn't possible prior to rooting.
[HTC Sensation] Lafenear:
Only positive.

Though I encountered some problems along the way. It was impossible for me to S-OFF with Win 7 running in VMWare on my Macbook Pro so I had to use my dad's old laptop with WinXP.

After that everything went smoothly. Felt the ARHD launch of 3.0.4 was like waiting for Steve Jobs to announce something new.
[HTC Sensation] Bastaerd:
Best thing is that if you need to send it back for repairs, you can always reflash your carrier rom, unroot and s-on again :)

Has anybody already experienced this issue and no complains from repair center?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. first post triggered by my first Android HTC Sensation. After Symbian just omg....

Found the sensation even easier to root than my old Desire. Rooted, S-Off'd and running Android Revolution HD :D

Coming from HTC inspire-Rooted- custom ROM

Found xda-developer's site :cool:

S-OFF,Root and superCID - 2 days after I bought my Sensation (nuff said about the warranty, can always "de brand") ---> total time - less than 30mins

Got a few issues down the road but still happy with the results.

**I almost forgot that there's a htc update so unroot-install update then root the phone again then instal XDA app from the market(I'm hooked).

Time to explore!! Possibilities are endless. Still happy with my current setup, probably will explore further to use some ROMs in the future.

PS - Thanks for the noobproof instr!!!!!! :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] JastaPein:
its much better to go back to froyo' root your phone' install CWM 3.1' do a NANDROID BACKUP' flash the ROM & KERNEL u want but ALWAYS REBOOT after every flash..

after rooting your phone, i highly recommend to INSTALL TITANIUM BACK UP PRO & UNINSTALL the other FACTORY APPS (unnecessary apps) on your phone before doing a NANDROID BACKUP so it wont eat too much MB's on your memory card :)

hope that helps :)

Ok, so I might get struck down by lightning for starting this thread, but here goes...

What is the best app you've found? The one you can't live without?

I'm not asking for the best ROM (there's already about a million of those threads!), or the best theme, or the best widget (there's already a thread for that somewhere). Just your one

MUST HAVE

app.

Thought it might be interesting and we might find apps that we've never heard of before...

Personally I would say "Swype".

Yes I know it's mainstream, but how the hell do people get along without it? Seriously, I used my friends Desire the other day and it took me an age to write a message.

Anyway, feel free to comment. Or if this gets the usual "it's all about personal taste" or "try them and see" treatment, then so be it.
