help me please i have the same problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiox:
Similar problems at my end.

Used the CF root after which the phone doesn't boot but gets stuck at the boot screen showing the yellow triangle. No possibility to get into the recovery mode. I can however access the download mode.

Anyone has a solution?

Solution for a bricked rom that worked for me

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide

used heimdall flash --kernel zImage

I had flashed rom and got the yellow triangle and boot would hang, did this countless times with all the kernels and had 18 counts and attempts, finally tried the above link and my phone worked again

cf_root didnt work for me at all, nor was odin behaving
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdgfdqtuzs:
Just had the exact same problems as what's mentioned in this thread.

now I'm back up and running. Changed the USB port as the card reader I have did not like what I was doing with Odin... :confused:

I did this first:

It booted into recovery, reset everything, switched everything off. left it to cool down for 1 min, fired it backup into download mode, opended Odin and flashed the latest stock ROM.

flashing began and it booted up. 4 hours of reading up and getting to know the device finally paid off and saved me from a heart attack!

Thanks for all the info in this post :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sticky86:
Thank you so much for the previous explanation. I must put this down because I made some stupid mistakes and was worried sick because my phone would not boot.

I forgot to do a wipe and loaded CM7. Got stuck in a boot loop

Then I loaded a stock kernel but to no use.

I finally realised that I have to load the whole damn thing and not just the kernel when I read the above post. I registered so that I could thank you. :)

I have the same problem, how did you solve this ?

Strangely enough my phone was working with a beta of ICS, but it was freezing outside (-22c) and it went out.

Now its on a boot freeze and can only enter download mode ...

nothing seems to help, also when charging the battery is grey with the charging circle not moving....

Does anyone have a suggestions ?

Allready took the SD card out to exclude that as a problem... (and also tried reflashing like all guides mentioned in this thread.)

It was too weird. I spent time reading lots of forums about this and saw different techniques.

What i did was i flashed back to 2.3.6. Did factory reset. then flashed back to ICS.

I think it happened because of some cache bull****. Just thought i should share.

Only £1.85, cheap and cheerful gel case. Does the job.
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
Just picked up this one of eBay only £2.90 will wait to see what it is like.

I did receive the Case mate tough case for the XL, as when i went to put it on, it wouldn't fit, none of the buttons would match, and none of the ports would match either, sending it back today.

I do hope they sent me the wrong one, but on the box it did say it was for the Sensation XL ???
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
I used one of those s line cases with a Sensation and Evo 3D which i had from work. They're indeed cheap and do the job perfectly. The one for the Evo 3D had a weird little bump in it, which turned out to be a bit of red silicon from another case that had got stuick in the press.

It got moulded inside the black silicon of the case i had bought. no major issue, and was fine once i'd cut it out, tiny little hole, but that was just me.

but hey, for less than £3, it's not exactly a hardship if it's not perfect, now is it?
[HTC Sensation XL] Schumi 01:
Just had mine delivered, fits really well, for £2.50 you cannot go wrong, i spend at least £20-£30 on a case for my Sensation, but from now on i will but these cases.

It does the job very well indeed.
[HTC Sensation XL] Aoler:
What I really like about the Nillkin TPU case:

+ Its very nice to hold due to the texture on the sides

+ Its easy to slip in and out of your pocket, yet its still pretty flexible

+ The cutouts are perfect

+ No problem using the keys, they still *click* on press

+ The part thats slips around the bezel of the phone is quite thin (compared to other tpu cases), keeping the phone itself, when layed out face down, protected against sand etc. but doesn't add unnecessary bulk.

I guess TPU cases get better as they go as this one is the best Ive used so far :)

Hop this helps someone

I ordered one last week, always handy to have a spare case.

Just have to wait for delivery.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Sounds nice mate ;) Does the thickness be increase too much? I would like to try one but I'm really worried about the thickness of the case

Does it have any texture on this case? And same question about the thickness ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
Nah, no texture on this one. Is smooth. still fairly grippy though, i find all these silicone/tpu ones are fairly grippy.

as for the thickness, it's about 1 - 1.5mm thick. pretty much the same as all these cases are. yeah, it adds a couple of mm, but nothing major.

I've got this case, £3 with the postage, couldn't be better.

And it's a pretty good quality case too.

The phone looks pretty good in it, and it's much easier to grip the phone now. Much more comfortable to hold.

You get a screen protector with it aswell, although, I'd buy some other one, as I did, because the one they give you is rather bad quality.

Hi,

just received this case : http://cgi.ebay.fr/Hard-Cover-Case-...PDAs_Etuis_housses_coques&hash=item35b8306dda

(but not from this vendor, got it cheaper from hong kong, but longer to receive it...)

The case is great for the price. Very low-keyed, and quite good-looking.

Now i have to find a good screen protector, but this is more complex i think :(

But this case gives a good result for the price.

Ciao

Edit : found the good link.... for the price, great piece of case.

Excellent - HTC Sensation XL Shell

Long time lurker here. I recently bought this shell. It's a satin-finish plastic. (At least I think it's plastic.) It provides better grip, looks good, and is very slim but offers no drop protection, especially on the corners. It goes well with the XL's styling. Just thought I'd put up some pics since I didn't see one like it here.

theres a huge thread in regards to 1950 mah mugen vs 1900 mah anker somewhere in xda... it seems that people are saying that they are slightly better than anker even though they are both 1750mah battery in the inside... but for that kind of price i went straight to anker with no 2nd thoughts lol... i rather buy 2 ankers for 40 bucks than 1 mugen so at least i have 2 spares when i go on holidays =D
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
Mines quite happily using a 1730ah from a standard sensation at the moment. I think i need to hard reset it though, as it seems only to charge to approx 89%, and i know it did used to work all the way to 100.

meh.
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
Welcome to the club. I stuck in a 1900mAh Anker and it only charges up to 89% as well. What ROM are you on?
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
And further to that, just grabbed the battery from the evo and it's just popped up to 91%. I'll see if it goes all the way up.

I did notice however, that while the sensation and evo batteries have the same mah and model number, they are not the same.

the evo is 3.8v and 6.57Whr

The sensation is 3.7v and 6.40Whr.

The XL is 3.8v and 6.08Whr (smaller capacity)

Seems the XL might need the extra 0.1v to go all the way to 100%.

UPDATE: Yup, the evo battery charged all the way to 100%, so it looks like the 89% thing could be down to the voltage maybe....
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
I will stick the Anker into my EVO 3D and XL will have to do with EVO's battery, will see how that goes.

Because Anker in my old Sensation charges to 100% just fine and I read somewhere that it might be a voltage issue, Anker is limited to 4.2V and XL wants to go up to 4.3V for some reason.
[HTC Sensation XL] ahaman:
my anker arrived and confirmed 89% max charge =( have anyone tried battery cache wipe? or that doesnt do anything... i dont have CWM yet to do it
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
Wiped it lots of times, doesn't help. It's a voltage issue. Unless some developer comes up with the workaround the 4.3V charge requirement we will be stuck.
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
EVO 3D 1750mAh battery charges fine in the XL. And the Anker charges fine in the EVO. Will have to go with that arrangement for now.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Do U guys have any feedback about the Mugen one? Does it fit perfectly? How is the quality? Does it charge until 100% or just 89% like the Anker one?
[HTC Sensation XL] alain87:
Hello.

I have already post somthing on batterys but i suppose not in the good section.sorry about that.

I have a saner battery witch seems the same as anker.

The explanation for the 89% is quite simple.

The sensation xl charge the original battery to 4.4 volt (measured with a voltmeter on the battery itseft).this is high compared to other phone like desire,galaxy where it's 4.2 volts.

The anker is protected for overload to 4.2 volts (it's written on it), so the internal battery circuit stopped the charge at 4.2 volt which is 89%( 100% is 4,4 volt for the xl.).

So if you put an anker in a desire or galaxy it will charge to 100%

The question is : how can we tell the xl that 4.2 is 100%.?

Anyway I find the saner very good,when the xl say 89% it's 100% for saner and it's fully charged.?

The other point is that 4.4 is quite high for the original battery,I wonder if it's not too bad .

As like most I got tired of the battery with my XL. So lolled into purchasing a new one. Extended batteries gave the usual problem. Get to 85% and don't charge past. Instead did a little research. The XE battery works in the XL. Purchased one from amazon and amazed at the battery life. Day and half with moderate usage apparently htc official and cost barely 7 quid with delivery that extra chunk the XE battery is given has really improved my phone. I running anders miui as well which is always a battery drainer as standard but the battery handles superbly more so with a couple of full charge and drains. Gave new life to my XL
