[Nexus S 4G Android Development] v3rk:
thank you so much for putting the rzrecovery here. the developer's site is down and i've been searching everywhere while it was right here under my nose the whole time. what a lifesaver!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Does anyone of you guy's have a working copy of RZRecovery? Preferably 2.1.4 or later? If so, could you please post a link? RZRecovery's site is down and the link in the OP is bad.

Edit: Nevermind, I'm so stupid. For anyone else thats clueless like me, if you use the attachments at the bottom of the OP, you can download whatever recovery posted in the OP you need.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
hi all. sorry i've been slacking a bit. the op has been updated with a flashable version of the newly released TWRP 2.1. i also cleaned up the op for clarity and included links to goomanager and rom manager since they both are meant to be used with the corresponding recovery (twrp = goo manager / cwm = rom manager). enjoy!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
Updated the OP with the latest TWRP 2.1.1.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
i think 2.1.2 is for sprint lte version
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
I have one less previous version of team win.did a backup. Md5 checks out yet when I restore it, it boot loader loops on me. Had to flash rom over and restore everything. Don't trust it anymore.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
ive had the same issue with twrp backups so went back to cwm
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
Oh sh*t. This doesn't sound good. I haven't had any problems but have only restored one backup since my switch to twrp a couple weeks ago. It was version 2.1.0. Did you guys have problems with the latest version?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
yep had is issue both versions havent tried 1.1.1 yet to see if its all twrps that for some reason my fone and they dont get along very well
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
TWRP FAIL

Lets reiterate (i'm kinda pissed I had to go through it)

================

DO NOT TRUST TWRP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

================

This has been a PSA...

Edit: anyone have any ideas for mounting and/or converting twrp to a clockword mod type format? I have an app that can pull MMS out of clockword mod backups
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] paul96:
I too have been having problems with the recent twrp releases so I flashed back to twrp 2.0 and everything works great.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
we nandroid as a fail safe to any screw ups or unexpected behavior in our crack flashing.

i never tried that idea but TWRP has lost my trust. I'm not dealing w/ that nagging voice when i backup before flashing something new thats telling me "this might not restore properly".

What am I gonna do? Flash CWM & TWRP every time and do both backups? Shame too.. it was a pretty interface. Pretty interface isn't worth the lack of such basic functionality though.

Funny thing is, some other restores worked previously. And like I said, MD5s checked out this time around as well.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
i was just checking out the twrp git issues page and see that someone reported issues flashing cm9 based roms with twrp. perhaps this is related? aosp roms restoring fine but cm9 ones not working? can you guys comment on that? you using aosp roms or no?

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
I'm using Slim
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
MIUI/AOSP.. thats a negative
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Titanium Backup can restore app data from twrp backups.

If you want to do it manually, the backups are tarballs (gzipped tarballs if you had compression on). I think you could mount it as a loop device or extract the whole thing to a folder. I'm not sure what the commands are, though.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
now the question is, how do i pull sms/mmses out :) (restore data for messaging app?????)

If i could make it a clockwork mod backup, i have an app that pulls them out.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
Overwrite these 2 files with the ones from the backup. Change owner & persissions back to radio/radio rw-rw----. Then reboot.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
this is both mms and sms? and works for MIUI as well as CM?

I LOVE YOU.. would you like me to please your wife for you?

LIFE SAVIOR RIGHT HERE..
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Maximilian Mary:
My wife is good, thanks, but my donate button is insatiable. It loves to be touched, and it doesn't care by who. :rolleyes:

Yup, this is for all messages. Afaik it should work for any android build. Make sure you fix the permissions on the files.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
well guys... you put the fear of god into me and so over the last 24 hours, i've spent time checking and rechecking my twrp backups. i also made new cwm copies and restored other ones. i have had 100% success restoring no fewer than six different backups (stock gb, stock ics, eurokang cm9, and different versions of slim). so, while i'm still a little uneasy due to what you have reported, i'm starting to think there might be something else going on here.

first of all, what i've read is that you must NOT change the name of backups created using twrp. to be more specific, you can only add to the name, not change it altogether. so, if the name of the backup is 05-01-2012--0101, then you can change it to 05-01-2012--0101-slim-35. if you change the first part of the backup's name, you won't be able to restore it.

second, i've made sure that md5 checking is enabled. that might be something else to check.

third, all of my backups have been made with compression enabled (it seems to save a lot of space). i can't imagine if this is somehow required, but it may help track down the bug if there is one.

would you guys mind commenting on what i wrote above? i'm very curious to hear what you think. hopefully we can restore some confidence in twrp. it really is my favorite recovery thus far.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Sputnikk23:
md5 was enabled for me.

i did not change the name

i believe i may have disabled compression to save time.. so this is the only valid point so far.

don't really have time to test it out for you.

I need to feel secure in my backups so i'm already back on CWM.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mercado79:
i hear you. thanks for replying!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Karl:
tried with md5 on/off

tried with compression on/off

tried with out name change

only constant is never change rom always slim
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] katmandu421:
I encrypted my phone due to updated work exchange policies and now am unable to flash ROMs with CWM due to inability to mount sd card. I had this issue on my tablet and was able to get around by updating to the Team Rogue recovery.

Would any of these recoveries have whatever feature Rogue has to enable flashing ROMs on enrypted devices?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhkhue90:
I have an evo 4g of Japan. The KDDI network. I've unlocked it. I'm using the rom CM7. But now I want to go back to the original rom 2.3.3. Can I use the Sprint rom is? Or someone with KDDI, the original rom for me. I'm afraid of getting brick :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skullzaflare:
when you rooted and flashed your phone, did you make a backup like all the guides tell you to do?

if so, you can go in recovery and restore it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You can thank Football for this (seriously, go to the thread and "Thank" him):

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfd...15.00.03.04_NV_2.11_release_176711_signed.exe

Also, just for future reference, this should've been posted in the EVO Q&A section, not Android Development.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhkhue90:
Thank you very much and Football. Now what do I do with this exe file? Do I need to unroot ? Or I will install directly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin255764:
That is a shipped ROM.The exe is for windows machine.You can connect to desktop PC and run that exe.

It will unroot your phone,everything will be back to factory settings.

Best would be to run it through the kitchen first and add a root permission
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhkhue90:
I think before unroot to run exe? This action automatically unroot my phone?? Not need "unrevoker forever s-on"??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] old.ghost:
What you said unlock means root or S-OFF? If S-OFF, can you please share how to make it? Thanks a lot.

[General Questions and Answers] borderfox:
Hi. I use Win Mobile 6.5 when on the go - to receive and answer mails. That works well apart from one situation - where I need to send on an email template. By that I mean, it's a standard email that I send to many folks - but it has a lot of detailed info on it. To have to type it out each time - is simply not on...not on a touchscreen in any event.

Is there any way I can solve this problem? I was thinking of having mails stored in the drafts folder - but then if I use one of them, then I can't send a subsequent mail?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
SOLVED - Settings/Wireless & networks - Force closing.. Anyone else experience this?

So I noticed today that every time I try to go into "Wireless & networks" from within the settings menu, I get a force close and can not proceed any further. This means I cannot change any of my wireless settings including bluetooth, wifi, or wireless.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, have you figured out how to fix it? I've already tried wiping the dalvik cache.

I'm using the 1.36.531.6 build, rooted and deodexed. It is android version 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0.

CONCLUSION - DO NOT DELETE NFC.APK.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
I'm assuming you have rebooted? You could try and go to settings/applications/all and find "Settings" and delete the cache, which would require you to make any settings changes again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
Yes I've rebooted, deleted the dalvik cache, wiped the cache partition, went into settings/applications and wiped the cache for the settings app and even tried replacing the settings app from a different ROM version and I still persistently have the issue.

I am deleting several APK's from the base ROM before flashing though and perhaps one of those is what is causing my issues?

I suppose I'll try flashing the full ROM again and then remove 1 apk at a time and see if I find the culprit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dharvey4651:
Update.. It appears that the NFC app is what I deleted that borked the Wireless Settings menu.

Sooooo.. With that being said.. Don't delete nfc.apk.
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
Does the wifi tether charge against normal data or will carrier detect and add?

Also, is there a list of all items frozen? I've been slowly freezing htc stuff with zerg/titanium bu and I know I missed some stuff out of caution/uncertainty/fear.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
if you open the batch file with any text editor you can see what gets disabled. If you disable an apk twice, it will not affect your phone. So no worries about re-freezing frozen stuff.

wifi tether uses root to provide the service, i cannot make any guarantees to what Verizon will or will not do. I have been using this apk for a while without issues, but I am not making any claims. This stuff is always "use at your own risk"!

The program uses your phone data connection (which is part of your data plan) to provide wifi to other devices i.e. other phones, laptops, desktops, ps3's, etc. If you have limited data plan you can go over the limit using this app.
[HTC Rezound] PaulTheBuilder:
So i posted this in the Supertool thread - removing sense stops the gallery/album app from working properly. Does anyone know what dependencies the gallery app needs to work?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] mohkg:
This is ****in awesome excuse my language
[HTC Rezound] zeroxg4:
+1 I haven't been able to track it down either.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I found the missing package is "com.htc.opensense". I'm not to sure what else this enables but I still have a de-sensed ui. I will create a batch file for easy use.
[HTC Rezound] PaulTheBuilder:
That was it. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I understand my original .bat file is not working correctly... i'll update the original file when i get home later tonight. In the meantime you can use the frigid's super tool (link provided) although a lot of the features won't work for our rezounds...
[HTC Rezound] mohkg:
how come after my screen just stays blank not even a lockscreen please help
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Pull the battery and reboot.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
If you used my original file, it was not processing all the way. You could just try to run the "re-sense" option, and that will return you to normal.

Will provide updated file soon
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I used the one tool found on Rootz Wiki and so far everything seems fine except for 2 things. The stock HTC mail app force closes upon reboot, and the gallery issue. No big deal because i just froze the stock mail app since I prefer the gmail anyways. Anyone else have the mail FC on reboot?
[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
I want to use this so bad but I need mail to work.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Mail works fine after using option 4 (even though it only says "fix gallery")
[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
Stupid question - but if sense is gone - what UI runs? Gata read the thread more.....
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
It's the standard gingerbread launcher... you can install anyone you want though, like launcher pro or something
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Usually users want a de-sense if they are using an alternative launcher such as ADW

[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
Yeah I am partial to go launcher myself but cant stomach another UI in the background. Will be nice to pull this sense stuff off the device. Thanks guys.
[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
So far - very awesome. Works great. Love the Sense unlock with go launcher. Perfect.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
So as long as I don't try to install ICS notifications on a 3.11 ROM, I should be fine?

I believe there's still issues with the whole DeSense tool in general on CleanROM.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Now you tell me -_-.... I'm stuck, If I boot into fastboot it wants to install the ROM's kernel because of a ROM bug, HOPEFULLY I made a nandroid!

W00t tried v9 and I think I fixed it!!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
yeah, the systemui and settings won't work on any of the new builds... it says it on the OP and on the tool itself..
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I can't get the DeSense tool to work on any of the new builds period, it just hangs and I get issues all over.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
what do you mean by hangs? Are you getting an error message?

newer versions of this tool are using busy box to mount system and root directories; if your ROM doesn't have busy box it wont be able to run the commands

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
It can't see my device at all.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
the script is using all adb commands, there is no special programming involved. If adb can't see your phone then you might have missed one of the following:

-Install latest HTC drivers

-Plug in USB as "charge only"

-In the development settings menu, make sure "USB debugging"is checked on

Let me know if you still have problems

Sent from my Rezound
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Still having issues, I'm just gonna wait for a new version of the tool and a new version of another ROM, I'm happy where I'm at otherwise.

[HTC Rezound] contactwajeeh:
Hey mate,

My status bar is gone. Can you please guide me in the right way please? I used the 8th option please help me...
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
If you have a root exploring (ES File Explorer or the like) app you can simply move the 2 apk's, SystemUI.apk and Setting.apk from /system/app/bkup/ into /system/app/

or use the two adb shell commands below

adb shell mv /system/app/bkup/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell mv /system/app/bkup/Settings.apk /system/app/
[HTC Rezound] contactwajeeh:
I was able to restore it. But i wanted to use the settings & systemUI apk from the cm9. Please help me...
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
open the rom zip go to /system/app/ in the zip file, extract the Settings.apk and SystemUI.apk from the zip. Place those two files on your phone, then move them to the /system/app/ on your phone using root explorer.

Note that not all Settings.apk and SystemUI.apk's are compatible with every rom.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Cool! Glad I could help.

On another note, I ran quadrant on both systems (after reboot, no root) and got some weird results...

Non-Sense:

1st 2316

2nd 2479

3rd 2463

Sense:

1st 2306

2nd 2340

3rd 2514

This doesn't make sense (no pun intended) that the extra memory required by the UI would make it faster on that last run? Now I know why a lot of people don't like benchmarking apps, lol....

Anyone seeing performance gains with de-sense?
[HTC Rezound] sbtim:
Works great, thanks for the link, yo.

and benchmarks are stupid. I've noticed a lot of real world performance gains and better battery life already.
[HTC Rezound] smw420:
Change line 176 from this:

[HTC Rezound] mallman:
what fixed this for you (if anything). I had the same thing happen. I pulled the battery and rebooted and i cant unlock the screen. I assume i have to re-temp root and re-sense but that kind of defeats the purpose :)

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 AM ----------

i went ahead and returned everything to normal to get my lockscreen back. I:

1. rebooted

2. rerooted

3. installed no lock from the market

4. de-sensed

5. patched email and gallery

6. rebooted

Once my phone came up i no longer had the blank screen and unlockable device. I guess my issue had something to do with the lockscreen since it is a function of sense. i dont feel like disabling no lock in fear that it will hose me up again. :)
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
It seems as though the gb launcher is not being installed for some. So that would mean you have no home screen and it would be white. Don't know why this is happening for some people.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I'll update soon, thanks

* updated (v2_1)
[HTC Rezound] zeroxg4:
I wouldn't rely on those results. I got a 2730 on quad with sense. It's not really based on free ram, and also isn't a reliable performance benchmark based on its biased io.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Don't base the phones performance off of quad. If it runs smoother and you have more free memory that's the goal. You're not going to see huge score changes until cust roms and custom kernels.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Couple things...

Worked fine, switched to Go Launcher, and saw my Quadrant scores stay the same, but my Antutu scores dropped by about 1,000 points. It was a significant performance hit in that benchmark when I removed sense.

Second, is that you lose the screenshot ability when you remove sense.

Last, is that when you re-sense it, you lose half your HTC Widgets... I re-sensed the phone and Sense came back, but things like the calendar widget are no longer present. You go to add widgets, click on the "view all HTC Widgets", and where there used to be 76 to pick from, there are now only 46 and calendar is not one of them.

So by removing sense, you might have more RAM free, but you lose performance and you cannot truly go back without a hard reset, which I will now have to do.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

No offense, but more memory only matters if you were either running out of memory, or if freeing it up increases performance. A lot of time more free RAM hurts performance because the system has to go load information from storage, when if it had it in RAM it would be instantly accessible...

Not trying to be a tool, but while I got an extra 150mb free from taking Sense off, compared to the "de-bloat" method, I actually saw performance drop, a lot.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Your kinda right, free memory isn't always good. Android has a very good built in task manager that handles processes fairly well. That's the reason we do not require task killers. Although, the Sense UI is very memory intensive. When a process such as this is holding blocks of memory, the OS does not have that memory available to run other apps in it's place.

Performance gains become apparent when flashing AOSP roms. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to completely change the system at this time. This is the closest we can get to AOSP. I have noticed performance increase as well as several others that have posted on here, so I'm thinking it is an issue with the launcher you chose or something else slowing you down.

Just giving my opinion not trying to bash. Feel free to discuss further. :D
[HTC Rezound] mallman:
free memory, however, does save battery
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
So I went back and unfroze the "clock"...b/c I needed it to set my alarm, I'm sure there is another way to access alarms, but I hadn't found it quite yet.

Otherwise, worked great! Bundled with my other frozen apps, my normal usage RAM free is around 300~350mb and my post-boot is usually around 450~500mb.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
so i just tried this then remembered how much i liked sense so i went back but the clock widgets are all gone. any ideas why? i tried rebooting and it did nothing and i ran the script multiple times

EDIT: nvm i got it working again. i de-sensed and re-sensed and it started working... weird
[HTC Rezound] dmeadows013:
Didn't you post a thread saying you were tired of Sense? lol

BTW, how's the new Rezound working out?
[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
Dude I was about to ask that. But if he's anything like me then he got bored with motoblur and came back to sense

[HTC Rezound] evilstewie23:
Yup he's just like me. Lol. Sorry for being off topic

sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it. :)
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
So are there any theories why using Go Launcher would cause Antutu scores to plummet?

I like Sense a lot, but Go Launcher does have some great features, and I can change the fonts and slap an ICS theme on there, etc... so I want to use it, but not if it causes some sort of issue where the phone slows down.

If it is just some glitch in the benchmark, then I am cool with it, but until I can confirm what is going on, I don't want to use Go Launcher if it means a 20% performance hit...

But I am not a Dev, so I don't really have the expertise to see what is going on here.

Anyone?
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Another thing, is that when you remove Sense, you lose Beats Audio, which kinda sucks.

Any way to get that back without re-Sensing?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I've used this tool to de-sense and having none of the problems you are having...

I score 300 point's higher after de-sensing on antutu

And beats audio codec works the same as before, and shows up on my notifications when headphones are plugged in... I saw the thread you posted regarding the beats.apk and decided to see if "htc music enhancer" was unfrozen on my phone, but it is still frozen, and beats works fine...

I rebooted my phone after de-sensing so I'm not sure if this what did it...
[HTC Rezound] KKellett:
This seems to be good news to me and make me finally pull the trigger on this phone. Few questions first

beats works for most after the desense script?

wifi tether does work for sure?

If we get an ota update before we get S-off this will all go away right?

Thanks
