Ohh my...what if this happened to me? Yes all the peoples who bricked there device are righ that steve should come forward for an attempt to recover device, but he said clearly that their is no way to do so, comeon guys you have tmobile in your country or htc support, so just think about people like me who doesn't have HTC nor does Tmobile, or bell, so please don't waste time and get their help, or you may ask rmk40, baadnewz, robo etc...they all are helpfull devs, and will certainly give you advise.
[HTC Sensation] homais:
ask rmk, he might be able to do something. and refurbished is pretty much new

better than nothing man...
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
Warranty will done it before.
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
Well the refurbished devices are usually from HTC and have the proper fixes like dust issue and such. Although I wouldn't bank on it since sensation build quality isnt the best ._.
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
This thread is still open and Steve is still working to find a fix because his device is bricked as well. The thread is open because there are plenty of guys here on XDA to share their knowledge as well and if a fix comes up it will be given as promptly as possible.

The closure of the threads was just a momentary reaction of anger (his device was bricked) and feeling bad that his update was the cause of the bricked devices. This happended to me when i went from Froyo to Gingerbread and I have a perfect Galaxy S paperweight to remind me.

Let's just hope someone can come up with a way around this problem and quit the blame game when we all choose to flash no one forces us.
[HTC Sensation] nba1341:
The issue is as a recognized developer you always test your releases before releasing them to public. When I fix someones car, for example their brakes, I don't just leave them with their car without test driving and crossing my fingers they don't die otw out ._.
[HTC Sensation] j3.cole:
Deleted: I was not affected nor am I the developer = I have no right to an opinion on this one (at least publicly).
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
Point taken and understood...................
[HTC Sensation] rayarny:
In every dev thread its clearly stated that if anything happens with your device its not devs fault as u as a user decided to flash it. A recognised dev is also human! Everyone makes mistakes. ICS is highly experimental release till now and if u a total noob u shouldnt have flashed it in the first place. Stop the blaming game. Everyone is trying to find out a solution!

Peace
[HTC Sensation] :
Frankly, I don't agree with many on the Steve issue. If you don't know what you're doing, don't flash RUU files. Hell, if you don't know most every little thing about what you're gonna flash, don't do it. If you don't know what a CID is, or flashing an engineers boot, just stick to flashing roms.

None of these developers are warranted and these devs are not perfect. It's not their fault if you flash something that you don't understand. After all, you're the one who flashed it.

As for "STEVE SHOULD COME BACK AND TRYZ TO FIX IT". It's a brick, and if it is indeed that QDUSB error, you're basically ****ed - nobody knows how to fix that yet, if ever.

I'm sorry it happened, I am, and if I could help, I would. Believe me, but you take the risk when you play around with this stuff.

Edit: Looks like someone beat me to mah point.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Dude it was a simple firmware update zip and i have flashed 10 of those before.I do know what i flashed,as i'm not a noob.I do understand the risks,but he boldly claim that the zip "HAVE BEEN TESTED AND VERIFIED TO BE SAFE AND TO WORK ON ALL SENSATIONS" so you can't really blame people for being angery that his zip ****ed up their phones for good.See,it WAS NOT a user's error,we didn't **** up the flashing process,rather the zip posted was corrupt ie HIS FAULT.
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
One thing you are wrong about anything you choose to flash on your device is your own decision and your own risk. The anger is understandable though
[HTC Sensation] :
It doesnt matter if he claims it was safe or verified, or whatever, there is always a risk that you take when flashing. The anger is understandable, as Crazy mentioned, but it's not his fault that you flashed a file.
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
Thanks for the post mattbutsko and Steve didn't run away he has been conversing with this guy ( NYCguy2020 ) through PMs and it is interesting that he doesn't mention this while he continues to bash Steve. Venting is OK but bashing is not.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Anyway what's done is done.Nothing we say can fix it.Oh well,you live and learn i guess.Note to slef: Never be the first to flash any file.

Lesson learned the hard way. lol

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Hey,we exchanged a cuople of PMs basically telling me to flash an RUU and when i explained that i couldn't all he said is oh well sorry,guess it's not compatible with the Sensation 4G then.That's all the "CONVERSING" we had.BTW did he hire you to be his spokesman/attorney??

PS.I was bashing his initial reaction when he simply closed all his threads and ran away.
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
I still stare at my beloved Galaxy S my first Android device and wish I had been more patient with my flashing. I understand you know what you are doing and it sucks when it wasn't your own fault through some stupid error on your own part but even the devs can make mistakes and pay for it on their own devices and they even feel bad for the pain they have caused other users in the community but i do not want Steve or any of the other experienced devs to quit and leave the development they can learn from their experience as well and now more than ever Steve's stuff will be even more trusted and verified in the future.

Please do not forget all the hard work the devs do for free and they want us to excel when it comes to our devices.

Merry Christmas XDA

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

LOL..................no attorney needed when you chose to mod your own device the risk is assumed by the owner and as for spokesperson this is easily explained by the fact that Steve is on vacation and if you get a response from him it is momentary as he is busy with other things so talk about bad timing.

I also understand about the fact that you were bashing his initial reaction but after the PMs you could have mentioned this at least this would give a clearer more truthful view of the response you have had from the dev.

In the future there will be many of us that will be more careful and this experience can be a lesson to many who have not had to know what it feels like to lose a mint device.
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
Tbh, most of us are seriously addicted to flashing to the point that it no longer is a means to an end. Even when we find a rom that suits our requirements, we're tempted by a new promise of greener pastures. I'm being constantly told off by my engineer friends that I won't be happy until I've bricked the phone. I've been asked whether I get to enjoy anything that a new rom has to offer without spending long enough time to really experience it.

I can understand the anger but I know it's not just directed at Steve. It's also at ourselves. There have been times when I couldn't solve a problem for a while and felt like the dog seeing its own reflection.

Masochistic as it might sound, it's this adrenalin that gives us that thrill.

I've been told by phone vendors that if you brick your phone, the chances are higher that HTC will replace it than if it was half dead and they could blame you instead.

At any rate, HTC knows it's this flashing fun that drives their sales. So, if they try to be funny, there's always the threat of SG2. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
What a spirit this guy has..hats off to you mate..you deserve a real applaud not only from users, but also from steve..
[HTC Sensation] duychau:
Thanks Alipk52. I didn't really open this thread to criticize or blame was just looking to see if anyone out there had some answers. Seeing as it's a lost cause now. Time to hit craigslist. They are going for about $220 if shoot enough offers out there. Coming to grips with how incredibly slow the myTouch 3g is hahaha.
[HTC Sensation] jmerlos:
T-mobile still had reps on call when I called so I'm getting mine replaced for the $20 bucks processing fee. After 20+ phones and around 400 Flashes (not exaggerating lol) this is just a minor setback, I have a Blackberry Torch to get me through the next week before I get my replacement. :o
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
When will you be receiving your replacement phone??!
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Please, everyone once you're rooted S OFF make sure you have supercid and flash engineering bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
There is no reason to SuperCID your phone.

The only way to repair this is possibly with Qualcomm software. However, I'm just telling T-Mobile that the OTA bricked my phone. HTC just flashes them back with their software and sends them out as refurbs. There is really no harm in doing this.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Yes there is! If you get supercid, you can flash any RUU you want, which is a big advantage if you can't remember what version you had before you flashed custom roms. So you can just flash any RUU.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
For certain users sure..I'm TMOUS and that's the only RUU I'll ever want to flash. No reason to supercid for me.
[HTC Sensation] jmerlos:
I didn't want to pay another $20 bucks for expedited shipping so my estimated delivery is January 3rd although I usually receive them way before that.
[HTC Sensation] Edvan1211:
Hi i bricked my phone also.last night i called in T-mobile and within 5 min they send a new one out next day air.It will arrive by tuesday.
[HTC Sensation] RiverCity.45:
Insurance, for those of you who are referring to it, won't cover mechanical failures. Exclusions in my policy include a bunch of situations, including:

- Electrical and mechanical breakdown

- Wear and tear

- Anything covered under warranty

- Hidden or latent defect, including equipment design defect

- Programming, repair work (so if you brick a phone because you flashed a bad ROM, insurance won't replace it if you are honest about the reason).

Seems like a phone has to be physically destroyed or stolen are the covered reasons, but not much more.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
well ifvyou want to get a good help, ask another Recognized Developer out there, they will give you final words as if this can be fixed or not, i will recommend rmk40 or robo, what i guess is actually your Hboot is culprit for a dead device, and therefore rmk etc may have clue in this case :)
[HTC Sensation] cb1100r:
a flash ROM is not without risks!

the fool is one who can not read the warning, and certainly not the one who offers his time to share his work!

s'es he planted one and it is probably the first to regret it but then again nobody is forced to flash the device!

If you do not like I may not play with us and keep your stock ROM.

I am very sad to read so much crap on Christmas Day

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Take the hand you guys! easy to shoot a guy who offered you his job!

once again responsible for your device is you! it is you who flashed, right?
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
So,usually it arrives before the estimated date?? i was given the same estimated delivery date.Fingers crossed for a decent device with no issues.I've heard horror stories about refurbs.
[HTC Sensation] tropical cactus:
In this part of the world, it's easier for HTC to change the motherboard. :p
[HTC Sensation] jmerlos:
This is my third replacement in the last 2 years and the first two were shipped 2nd day. I hope the holidays don't delay the delivery because this Torch is a pain to use.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Jan 3 is 9 days away.It shouldn't take longer than 9 days unless it's shipped from Mars lol.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
BTW, Steve007 says he did test the firmware. It was that the file somehow got corrupted while uploading to the site. This is just bad luck. How could he have helped that?
[HTC Sensation] dreadlessdream:
Yeah right... with such reason so he can waive his hand goodbye to all people who bricked their phone without even helping. Nice developer.. and most of the time the other guy to answer on behalf of him.. Unlucky to those who bricked their phone. A level of trust given being spoiled...
[HTC Sensation] SeriouslyCrazy:
Really mr two posts who talks like he knows how it works around here. My guess you do know and you are hiding behind your alternate identity very brave indeed. If you are new to the forum learn a bit before you speak out.

Steve has a long history here on XDA of being very helpful and your posts tell us you have no real history .

.

You only have 2 posts since April 2009! You sure are helpful around here.

.

[HTC Sensation] zx34:
I totally agree with you, Steve is one of the best developers around here, he is very sympathetic and helpful :) he has shared his work with us over many years....

It is of course not funny when a device moves into a silent death, but there is a risk we all take when we modify our phones!

Sent from HTC Sensation, Elegancia ROM Series....
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
The md5 he posted matched what I flashed and bricked my device.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Again no need to make up excuses.As mentioned above the checksum was a match.It seems like the file was NOT thoroghly/sufficiently tested and verfied to be safe,we flashed the zip with our own free will,end of story.Now let's all move on and stop harping on the past.

**** happens,it just sucks more when it happens to you,but at the end of the day it was my decision to flash the file.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Yeah, just getting my replacement now that I've experienced my first hard brick.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Did you get it through HTC or T-mobile??!
[HTC Sensation] homais:
lol 1 of them came from commenting in this thread!
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
TMo is sending it overnight for 5 dollar charge. Should have it tomorrow, tell them the OTA bricked it...
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
5 dollars??! they are charging me $20 for express.Lucky you.
[HTC Sensation] bonee:
replacement

I'm getting mine on wed. they charge me $20, i told them that it was because of the OTA.
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Way to commit fraud! You guys are cool.
[HTC Sensation] hal752:
Im sorry but you cant blame Steve. You new the risks when you S off and installed a recovery. Of you didnt want to brick you should off remained stock. The devs can only test the rom on there own devices.

Now if you have insurance (which you really should for a phone which is worth over 400gbp)

Anyway i use to work for o2 returns and repairs (phone company in the uk) your best bet in returning your device would to go with it over heating or update if there has being one recently.aslong as it has no water damege or look like its being thrown againts a tree ypu should be ok
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Yeah,they charged me $20 for processing and another $20 for express shipping. should have it today.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
@behold_this I hardly think that HTC will find it hard on the bank balance to have a dozen or so devices sent back,JTAG'd then put in the "Refurbished" section
[HTC Sensation] duychau:
Getting mine tomorrow. $5 through Tmobile. No big deal had my standby HD2 to fall back on.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I want to be cool. Who wants to buy my "lost" phone?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
What's the $5 for,shipping???!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
I was playing around with my nexus today and I noticed that the stock launcher lags on certain lwp, even with forcing hardware acceleration. I know this has been mentioned a few times, however I was thinking : is it possible that when Google was making ICS they coded the stock launcher to behave properly only Phase Beam only. The say this cause even the Nexus S's lwp even causes lag and that's probably one of the lightest lwp I've seen. Just my opinion, I'd like to see how others weight in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
They probably just didn't bother to optimize the older lwps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
I was also referring to the new lwps too, such as microbes but it's nice to know I'm not alone in my thoughts :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Really? I was running microbes fine.. but that's an older one too :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
Is it? LOL

Well I only refereced that one cause I couldn't remember the other ones lol.

I notice lag Bubbles, Halo Spiral, Microbes and Nexus; though only light lag.

The only one that likes to work seems to be Phase Beam.:(

Too bad cause the others one look really nice too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woldy2:
Those are all old Leo's...the only new one is pulse...three rest probably haven't been optimized
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeddyBlair:
i've been trying to find info on the lag with lwp's - although I haven't found any answers, I'm glad to know others see the problem.

Something I have noticed that I thought might have an impact on performance:

all the lwp's that have lag are ones that "move" when you switch homescreens. the bubbles fly around, the nexus slides side to side, the microbes move, etc.

phase beam doesn't move when you slide screens. and performance is perfect. that leads me to believe that the lag has something to do with ics moving the lwp while switching home screens.

just a thought...
[Dell Streak 7] Lilextreme:
I replaced my Dell launcher with GOlauncher awhile back and its been great but suddenly out of the blue I turned it on and it won't start GoLauncher and I removed Dell launcher so I can't use that but it also gives the choice of the ADW launcher I had installed also but if I start that one it shows my tablet completely empty,,,not even settings available. Is there anything else I can do aside from erasing and starting new? I have stuff I'd like to keep that's on it.

Do you have access to adb?

Dude, thats for honeycomb. In future write what rom you use ;)
[Dell Streak 7] Lilextreme:
I am running 2.2 still.

How do I access adb? Through my PC?

When I start my dell streak 7, it just keeps flickering this box to choose launcher, (adw launcher ex or go launcher ex) I installed dell launcher.

If i click a launcher it just keeps flickering message to choose launcher like i havent pressed anything. It also shoots a bunch of messages sometimees for different apps that won't start, asking me to force quit them.

If i pull down menu on top left, that seems. To work OK and main screen with slide lock looks/works normal.

Please tell me there is a fix...can I save my data at all?

I did nothing different before this happened....it worked fine then next day this! Why????

I'm running Froyo 2.2, it is rooted and I "think" adb is on my PC from when I rooted but how to access again?

Does reset button on streak 7 do anything? Will my Sdcard help?

D am not great at all this but figure out stuff with help.

Sorry I meant to say I UNinstalled the Dell Launcher when I installed others.

[Motorola Atrix 2] dsunicorn:
I deleted the weather app that came on my Atrix2 phone thinking I had found one I would like better.. not so... now I would like the one that came on the phone anyone know how I can go about getting that app back? thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Agnus Dei:
I don't know but I use weatherbug app. Its by far the best I've found.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Which app was it? There was an app called "News and Weather" and an app called "Weather."
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
Well, you could download the ROM that's available in the Development section and extract them from there. Once you extract them ADB push them to your /system/app folder then restart the phone.

You should do research before deleting files from the phone. You are not the first person to delete something, and the same advise comes up; and that is you should always freeze apps instead of deleting them, that way if you feel like you need the app back, you just defrost it. But never delete apps in your /system/app folder unless you know what you are doing.

BTW, I use the Accuweather app and it is pretty good IMHO.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Pilgrimtozion:
There is a paid app made by Elecont. It is MORE than worth investing in - it is by far better than any free app I have come across, and I have tried many of them.

[LG Optimus 2x] extract:
Hello guys...

I am using P990h with CM7.1.0 , baseband 725 . For some reason internet speeds are very slow (0.5 to 1.8 mbps with HSPA and 9.5 Mbps on wi-fi with Verizon fios) , when I had stock ROM 2.2 I used to get 4 Mbps on HSPA in the same exact location and up to 15 Mbps on my wi-fi , my PC is getting the 15 Mbps right now with wifi , and my friend iPhone 4S is getting around 4 Mbps on 3G.

So, I am not sure what is the reason, but I only care about fixing the internet speed on 3G/HSPA. I don't want to go stock ROM even with Gingerbread, because I already tried it (but didn't test internet speeds) and once I booted the phone for the first time I again got voicemail indicator on, of course with no messages.

Can any one help ? do you think changing basebands will help ? and if so, how can I do that ?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] adslee:
Hey guys, I might be hopping over to the $29 monthly WIND Mobile plan pretty soon, so I'm looking at the handsets they have and I pretty much narrowed it down to the G2X and the Nexus S. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 which is really similar to the Nexus S in terms of hardware, so I'm hoping that you folks could shed some light on some of the questions I have about WIND and the G2X :)

1. How are the custom ROMS for the G2X? I love being able to flash custom ROMS like MIUI and CM7, so I'm wondering if there are custom ROMS out there for the G2X that provides full functionality (ie. smooth video recording, etc)?

2. On my GT-I9000, 512 MB of RAM on 2.3.x Gingerbread seems to hinder the home screen smoothness and performance unless tweaks (scripts, LMK kernels, etc) are applied and even then, it's not always 100% smooth. Does the G2X suffer from the same issue?

3. Some of most impressive specs on paper for the G2X are the camera and the dual core processor, do they live up to the initial hype?

4. If anyone's has/had a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (and used the custom ROM or stock ROM with lag fix), how does the G2X compare with the SGS?

5. Are there any phone-specific precautions I should keep in mind when rooting/flashing this phone (eg. bootloader locks, etc)?

I'd appreciate any advice/input from owners of the G2X, thanks!
