Mine shows up as a generic flip-phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuaka:
I wonder if this problem can be tied to country of origin. Perhaps there are slightly different blocks of IMEI numbers floating around that would explain why some of us have gotten "the text" and others haven't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GenghisKhent:
I just received and activated my Note (GT-N7000) yesterday. I had an existing account for my Dell Streak 5. I confirmed with AT&T that I had their so-called 4G smartphone data plan (not limited data). I did NOT tell them I was using the Note. I just asked if there would be a problem switching the SIM between Android smartphones. Answer was no.

I logged on to the AT&T website to manage my account. It also shows a flip phone FWIW.

I had to manually configure the APN. I had to use:

APN: wap.cingular

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password:CINGULAR1

etc.

The 4G APN (phone for APN) did not work.

I have not tried the EFS solution yet as I have not yet received the dreaded text. Of course, it is only one day.

I should be in an HSPA+ area. Not sure these speeds are all I should be getting. If not, are there different APN settings I should be using? Or do I need to (ulp) go into a store? Suggestions?

[HTC Sensation] kboater:
Sweet. So this is basically a re written/re worded version of the sticky guide on how to get s off and root ? After reading through it, it seems very similiar, but a little easier to follow....? I'm guessing following your guide when I get to the Rom/kernel part, I can flash any other too?

Has anyone w a tmo sensation 4g followed this exactly step by step and was completely successful without any problems?

Thanks for taking the time to write this
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
@kboater

Yep, it's basically just a simplified, faster guide that I put together myself based on a LOT of other guides, walkthroughs, and OP Dev posts. You can use any other ROM of your choosing, but I've only tested the tweaks and kernels with SENSEaY. I tried Android Revolution HD, InsertCoin, and a few others and found that SENSEaY fit best for my requirements.

TESTED AND WORKING ON T-Mobile Sensation, Bell Sensation

4 SENSATIONS DONE SO FAR
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Edit: added more ROMs and Kernels
[HTC Sensation] madbeardo:
Hi, thank you for this great time spending to put all info in one place. I tried and I like it. Everything is smooth. However, I have one bug. I am not aible to use camera anymore. Then I push camera app, screen becomes black and is showing litle camera shaped logo in the middle. After this phone just goes into home menu. Any suggests why this is happening and how I can fix it?

By the way, I was reading about HTC Amaze camera app for sensation. Is it that much better? Can I ser a compress ratio to standart one?
[HTC Sensation] kboater:
thanks appreciate it.

2 more questions:

1. from the little reading i have done on roms, it seems like the roms based on sense 3.0 in general tend to be more stable (with better battery life) then the ones based on sense 3.5...? Senseay Xe35 seems be be sense 3.5 right? For this to be the first rom I flash on my tmo sensation 4g, do you suggest I start with the a very stable sense 3.0 Rom?

2. Have you tried to put S-On back on? The guide to putting it back on does not seem like it is quite as noobproof...? If you have tired it, do you recommend it, or do you have your own simplified version of it, like you do for S-off and flashing roms, like this thread?

Thanks, really appreciate it )
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
@madbeardo

Just updated the guide. Yes the bricked 1.5 kernel and HTC stock kernel both seem to interfere with the camera. I fixed this on my 4 Sensations by flashing bricked 1.4! You can still overclock to 1.9GHz (though I don't recommend over 1.7GHz for stability)

@kboater

Yep sense 3.5. You can flash an older version of SENSEaY or another ROM with sense 3.0 but I've found those to be no more stable than the 3.5 ROMs. As for the battery life, I'm at 35% with "1d 1h 14min 28s on battery" on moderate normal usage (voice calls, downloads, light browsing, some gaming, texting, email, etc.) I'll post battery stats once I get down to 5% or so.

Simplest way to get S-On should be flashing the original RUU for the device using HTC tools. It will also wipe out clockworkmod custom recovery.
[HTC Sensation] fooman54:
I loves this post. It's easier for newbie like me.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Backthen:
Thanks, finally went about unlocking my device using this guide.
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Glad to be of help! If you like it, please click "thanks" in the original post.

FYI Updates: Some XDA Devs are making progress on the ICS ROMs. I hope to update this soon to include the ICS option.
[HTC Sensation] kboater:
Robodan,

Using Sensay and the kernel you suggested (bricked 1.4), things are just a little laggy. for example, when opening weather or many other apps, i get a grey checkered screen for a sec before the app opens.

when opening or scrolling through the app drawer, its kind of laggy also.

any other Roms you suggest trying? any other kernels?

thanks!
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
This should be stickied.
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
@kboater

I haven't run into that on any of the 4 Sensations I've done

Could you describe it in more detail? Screenshots? (Power+home buttons)

Also, are you using the Bricked 1.4 I posted in this thread or another? The one I posted has the camfix.
[HTC Sensation] slimmk3:
Thanks alot!!! steps worked perfect!! only issue i had was downloading the "CdTDroiD_Tweaks_Patch_1.8.x_v2.zip" the link for that one doesnt work anymore , it says it was removed...did a search on google. found it here :http://dev-host.org/users/CdTDroiD/296/ADDONS , thanks a billion...loving my sensation XE!
[HTC Sensation] kazi639:
GOD bless U

I just bought my Sensation XE 3 days ago after my long used N73 was stolen. So Android, Custom ROM, Flash everything is completely new to me ! And as a Bangladeshi, English is not even my first language. but when incidentally i stumbled upon this thread, at that very moment i could feel that "yes, i can do this":p . The total presentation is excellent and thanx to this thread now my android is flashed with custom ROM on its 3rd day :eek: My humble congratulations to the creator :) I just want 2 add few points where a noob like me can get a little scared:D on :confused:step 1e..it will be helpful to mention that we must uninstall HTC sync first, otherwise the “revolutionary.exe” tool WILL NOT open ( i thought uninstallation wasn't that necessary and tried...the tool was not opening and got scared)

:confused:1g..second time when i tried to boot to bootloader..it won't happen:eek: got scared again and by searching other resources found out that to do that i have to take the battery out every time or simply TURN OFF the Fast boot option.

After that i flashed with "Revolutionary HD" ROM & Now i am a Poweruser !!!:eek:

if u mention those 2 little extra lines as i mentioned..It will be completely IDIOT proof:D

GOD bless XDA forum/ developers.. I think for only people like u, knowledge and technology has reached this far. Cant imagine what if the rest of the world acted like people in "apple" ( Respect to Mr. Jobs any way) :)

I was able to unlock and root my HTC sensation perfectly using the above methods. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] radind:
everytime I enter the beta key from the web site (in case sensitive) it tell me it an invalid key. I have tried about 10 times with no luck.

Any advise???
[HTC Sensation] kazi639:
the key is case sensitive, happened to me too :p. after 2nd try when it said Ivalid key..i copied it into MSword and changed the fonts.found that i was trying with "i" instead of small "L" :D. i wish ur case is also simple like mine, best of luck.
[HTC Sensation] radind:
yes it was exactly that issue. hard to tell what the letters are sometimes. Have completed the process and all working well.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
So I'm curious, why isn't this in the development section with all the other roms? I haven't tried it yet but it looks like a nice version, I'll probably be rooting and romming tonight for the first time:D
[HTC Sensation] abrasha:
This link to ..._1.8.x, not to _1.8.x_v2. Do anybody have link to second version?
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Hey everyone

Back from some time away. I updated the thread with the new CTDroid tweaks link.

Glad everything's working out so far for everyone! PM me with questions and I'll see if I can help
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
@kingston73

Because it's NOT officially a ROM made by me. It's a process wherein you can easily make your phone work for you and customize the bejesus out of it.

I'd like to think I'm an XDA Dev, but my humility brings me back and I realize I'm just a guy who stumbled upon a bunch of cool things, and wrote down how I did it so others can do it too.

If a lot of people on here think it should be moved to DEV forum and stickied, that's great! PM the mods and ask one of them to move it over
[HTC Sensation] John.N:
You've made it alot easier to understand, I rooted/unlocked/flashed mine yesterday and everything is working great! Thank you!

The kernel installation not succesfull. Attempted a few times-the same. "Error in Bricked-v1.4-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984_incl_camfix.zip" (Status 7)

Hi There,

I have Sensation US T-Mobile 4G unlocked and rooted and running official Arabic rom 2.3.3 with Sence 3.

Q1- which steps should I skip to flash the SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0 rom?

Q2- Does this rom support RTL for Arabic language? which languages are icluded?

Q3- would this rom solve the very low ringing volume?

Q4- would this rom solve the short battery life?
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
Q1- which steps should I skip to flash the SENSEaY XE35 v2.1.0 rom?

A: Don't skip any of the steps if you want SENSEaY v2.1. This was written specifically using SENSEaY v2.1. You can skip step 3 onward to flash a different ROM

Q2- Does this rom support RTL for Arabic language? which languages are included?

Check this thread for full details on SENSEaY

Q3- would this rom solve the very low ringing volume?

I've had no problems with that. Try it out and use the volume options to increase your ringer volume. If you still have issues you could have a defective phone!

Q4- would this rom solve the short battery life?

All depends on your usage. I've had 1-1.5 days on average-high usage from this ROM. I also recommend an aftermarket increased-capacity battery from eBay like "ChiChitec" or "Anker" for about $20.
[HTC Sensation] thermax04:
Dear RoboDan918

Thank you for your replays, I forgot to say that My sensation is the 1.2 Ghz not the XE or the XL, Would it make any different?

Is this a different rom from this one: [ROM][27 NOV]SENSEaY - XE35 v2.1.0 | 2.3.5 | Sense 3.5 | Tweaks | AmazeCAM | BEATS!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1280358

the flashing steps are normal :

1. Boot into recovery

2. Backup

3. Flash Full Wipe

4. Flash ROM

5. Boot phone and setup

I have already the S-OFF and The Root ,

and regarding step 2 (10-second Unlock) : My phone is already unlocked and I can use it with any sim card ! or it is a must to do?

I thought I can go directly to step 3 with this rom, Or it is a must as you said to go through all the steps for this rom as you said, just trying to be sure that I got it right.

Can I do a full backup to my phone via ClockworkMod Recovery to go back to the stock rom?
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
No difference

Yes, yes, and yes.

Backup before flashing a custom ROM.

Try to re-download the tool. You may have to run it on a different computer FYI
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:

No idea. Should work just fine if you download the mac versions of the Revolutionary tool and HTC Sync (for the device drivers).

Post back with your results

Hey bro..i wanted to try the SENSEAY rom since U seems to like it & i must admit u have a good choice. I just wanted to know that after flashing my XE..the hardware is showing only 1.2 ghz??:eek: it looksssssssss realllyyyyyyyy nice though i havn't tried games on it as restored app getting forcel close (usual prob with restore:() i want to keep this rom... but what about the 1.2 processor? please guide me :o

Ok..update..successfully restored games using titanium back up.. previously was using my back up pro...games like asphault 6/ shagdow gun running as usual smoothly :D ( graphics like previous which is awesome..dont know how to activate the bravia engine or it is already activated?!?)....THis ROM is Great !!!! just worried about the battery drain have to observe some more).....THANXXXXXXXX

I just did 2 today and will do my 3rd tomorrow! THANK YOU for this guide.. I had a G2 for many years, and Root was more difficult. This was a breeze.. I'm using Sense on all phones, and have even installed the wifi calling (Page 190 of SenseAY rom thread).

As long as you have all the pieces downloaded ahead of time, it's a snap.

After I unlocked the phone, (only real reboot that has to be done to remove the file from the phone), I just used the 'mount' feature in recovery to put the zips on the SD card.

Thanks again!

Also, In the beginning, I wasn't aware that I HAD to do a battery pull every time I wanted to go into recovery. At least than's how my phones worked.
[HTC Sensation] RoboDan918:
@kazi

That has to do with the kernel. Flash the "BRICKED" Kernel and download "Antutu" from the market to overclock (up to 1.9GHz, but only safely to 1.7GHz)

Antutu will show up as "CPU Master" in your app drawer

GLAD IT'S WORKING FOR ANYONE! Again, pm me with any questions
[HTC Sensation] kazi639:
u r Awesome :)

Man..i love this thread..just because u have a talent to explain things in most simpler way:D..in ur signature its showing u used bricked kernel with the ROM. Did it gave u black screen while Using camera (happened to me)..

On some phones, something just 'screws' all the video playback. (Lucky me, got 3!). Took me almost 4hrs to discover the magic search word was 'stutter'. XDA came up, and they were discussing this problem on this Rom. Then, I searched and found the uninstall crt animation zip. It helped..

http://www.mediafire.com/?9acvp6a9acc1s21

Although it fixed my video issue quite a lot, now it's crashing the tray.. Gonna reinstall without tweaks and see if that helps. (Nope. Still had the 'video stuttering' issue) =o/

And, I learned about flashing mods in the right order. Thanks for all the help, RoboDan918. Everything else was spot on!

Hope this can help anyone else. I have all brand new phones (dec 11).

Quite a few people have issues. Maybe it's new hardware?! Hmm..

(Edit)

I'm giving up, and flashing -Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.11-

So, far on the test phone, it's stable and working great. Whew! There are a few people looking into the problem I ran into. If I find out more, I'll post.
