trying to flash the firmware but have 4ext installed and it aborts when i try to install it from sdcard. what am i doing wrong? i see it mentions hboot in the first post... is that the only way to flash it?
[HTC Sensation] Rickdaddy:
I'm using the latest rom and still using the 3.12 firmware.
[HTC Sensation] terhiha:
*edit, sorry I didn't read carefully, answered wrong question.. but yes, firmware through hboot :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Yep, 3.12 works fine.
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
ok. dumb question... since i have 4ext installed how can i install the firmware? when i boot into hboot and choose recovery it kicks me into 4ext.
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
There is a option in 4ext to "go even deeper or powermenu select that and it will take u there ;)

And if that does not work pull battery out and in and start youre phone with powerbutton and volume down pushed at the same time...then it will take u to bootloader also
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
man i'm not seeing it. when i'm in 4ext and go into the power menu i see four options...

reboot recovery

reboot into bootloader

reboot

power off

i looked through every menu available and don't see anything i can use.

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

i did the battery thing. when i do and get into hboot and then choose recovery it kicks me into 4ext. that's the problem.

when i'm in hboot i have five options...

fastboot

recovery

factory reset

simlock

image crc
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Did u put the firmware on the root of youre sd card??? Because if u did then it would be updating the firmware automaticly when u are in hboot ;)
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
ah. that i didn't do. it's in the clockworkmod download folder.

so if i put it in the root and then go into what menu item in hboot? recovery?
[HTC Sensation] anotherdroid:
hboot will find it and begin the update. it will reboot mid-way, so don't touch it.
[HTC Sensation] korrel2008:
Put the img on the root then go into hboot then it will update...the phone will go off for a couple of sec...but then will go on again...after its done ..reboot youre phone then delete the img and after that you can flash the rom ;)

Just so everyone is aware, I'm not intending to re-base Inquisition again until there's a final/official build of ICS from HTC. There's just no point in doing so, given the amount of work required. I'm addressing this because the "Beats" version of the base we're on was released today and I'm preempting questions about it.
[HTC Sensation] Freaknik:
Sounds good, I'm running 3.0.0 and it works great until the final build. btW is there any eta on A2DP for the Virtuous Quattro Rom? :)
[HTC Sensation] easyguy:
Any volume rocker Wake mod for this awesome rom?
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
thanks guys! this did it for me.

AOSP Camera & HTC Music with Beats Audio - Can someone re-upload to a different link? Megaupload is not longer :(

Edit..

None of the Add-on Links on Page one work........
[HTC Sensation] umd:
That'a good call imo. v3.0.0 works great here. No need any other beta based rom until HTC makes a big improvement. That big improved version would be final obviously. Thanks for your hard work. Appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
I have found that using the default T-Mobile APNs (used in only this rom?), you can lock-up any iPhone 4/4S iOS 5.0.1 device's cellular data (2G/3G) by simply sending them an MMS.

Their iPhone will be stuck in a non-stop "3G", "Searching...", "3G", "Searching...", "3G", "Searching..." cycle.

This cycle will drain their battery from 100% to dead in under two hours and will make their phone very choppy and unusable.

A reboot will not resolve the problem

The only two ways that I have currently come up with to correct this issue on iOS 5.0.x are to:

A. On iPhone, shut off 2G/Edge & 3G by going to "Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data OFF". But this means that they will NOT have 2G or 3G any more.

or

B. On iPhone, do an iOS FULL System restore. Not just a restore from backup, but a full 5.0.1 iOS system restore from an ipsw.

Apple Store suggests a hardware swap, but as soon as the new hardware gets another MMS, the problem will happen again.

ATT will suggest a MicroSIM swap, but that doesn't resolve the problem since the MMS is cached in ATT's servers and that MMS will keep trying to be sent. As far as I am aware of, ATT does not have a "Abort MMS after 'X' amount of failure attempts" algorithm.

Hopefully this is just a simple bug and will be resolved in iOS 5.1, or by an OTA Modem Firmware update from ATT to fix MMS caching on iOS devices.

EDIT: I've successfully been able to reproduce this issue multiple times now. By using the rom's default T-Mobile APN settings, sending an MMS picture attachment) to an iPhone4 iOS 5.0.1(9A406), an iPhone4S iOS 5.0.1(9A405), and an iPhone4S iOS 5.0.1(9A406) device running on ATT's network.
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
You know this is a HTC Sensation forum not an Apple iPhone one?
[HTC Sensation] id242:
Yes. I am quite aware of that, thank you.

This issue pertains to this rom :)
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
I can confirm that sending an Mms to my girlfriends Vibrant sends it into a bunch of force closes and only stops if you wipe the data for SMS completely and reboot the phone. She can get them from anyone else and its fine.
[HTC Sensation] hev88:
Lol.
[HTC Sensation] adeelmysore:
Send them to every iPhone user and make them switch to Android :)
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Frankly I don't see a big difference between the 3.12 and the 3.24 base,if anything the 3.12 is better since it didn't have the horrible bluish tint that the newer base has.
[HTC Sensation] mastersjef:

Good Luck!!!

Ps,

[HTC Sensation] Kykiskly:
Thanks, is there anyway to force the Stock Cam to use the Vol Up/Down to take pics same as in CM Roms? + + Panorama Mode seems to be FCing on mine - is it happening to others?
[HTC Sensation] DeKroezz:
The beats audio doesnt seem to work. I dont see the beats notify icon and the quality isnt that good as i espected. In the music i cant select a beats option for sound improvements. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I think 3.24 works better. Faster and smoother. And as I know that tint occurs because of 3.24's FW not the rom itself. You should be using 3.24 base rom(like v3.0.0) and 3.12 FW(not 3.24's FW) without blue tint. I might be wrong but search it anyway, it won't hurt.
[HTC Sensation] hoskic:
will this room work with new 3.25 base?
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
:eek: i just flashed this rom and my wife has an iphone. crap.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
Thanks! I duplicated this on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile).

Sending an MMS (picture attachment) with the default APN settings in this rom caused the SGS2 (stock gingerbread 2.3.x with Touchwiz) to have random FC in messaging.

On the recipient's android device...

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Messaging > Clear data

...seems to have fixed it until another MMS (picture attachment) is sent to it again using the default APN settings.

I'm starting to believe that Messaging in this rom could also be sending a corrupted MMS file?

While iPhone owners have no simple solution to fend off receipt of corrupted MMS files, I am truly glad to see that Android has built-in options to cleanup, should an error occur.
[HTC Sensation] HunnyBearLewis:
Have you tried/found other settings that work without doing this? Now I'm afraid to send MMS :(
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
So I guess I shouldn't be sending any MMS to anyone else so I won't mess up their phone huh :/
[HTC Sensation] id242:
I'm trying a set of stock settings from a Gingerbread device...

Menu > Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > T-Mobile Data

edit to read:

Name: T-Mobile US

Then go to T-Mobile MMS

Menu > Delete APN

reboot

NOTE: If you feel unsafe about editing your APN settings, there is a option called "Reset to default" (pressing Menu) in the APN list which will restore your items back to default.

You should now only have this single APN listed. Reboot your phone and hopfully this should fix the problem. If it does not, then the issue is more related to a corrupted MMS being transmitted from the Messaging app in this rom.

For the rest of today, I will have no way to confirm is the problem is related to APN settings or corrupted Messaging sends.

Can someone else here, test this/report result?

EDIT: I found another set of APN for T-Mobile USA

Name: T-Mobile Simple
APN: simple
Proxy: 216.155.165.050

APN protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (ghosted)

But if you are not using T-MoUS, these APNs would really be of no use to you and you should easily be able to duplicate the MMS issue... Which would also clearly point towards the issue of a corrupted MMS that is being sent from VI 3.0.0.

If anyone finds a definite fix for mms please report it asap. You never realize how much you use something until you can't use it.
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
what the hell are we supposed to do if we already have sent an MMS? my wife has an iphone and i sent her something right after i flashed this rom a little while ago. now her phone is searching for service, then gets service, the searches. is her phone bricked?

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

tried this and it didn't work. i can now no longer send MMS's with these settings. not that that matters at this point.
[HTC Sensation] coolcuboy89:
Here's mine.

Brightness on medium.

No bluetooth.

Wifi when needed.

edit: I plugged it in only when trying to do the fastboot. That explains the spike. But I usually get 2 full days.

SIDE question: Since no one could help me with my firmware upgrade problem (Mac Lion) fastboot usb not seeing the phone after reboot into bootloader, can I use the simplified method stickied on the top?
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
Just restore the phone in iTunes... As he previously stated....
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
i see that but it doesn't logically make sense to me. if i restore her phone and then as soon as it boots up won't it just try to receive the MMS again and in turn re-brick the phone?

i turned off the 3G connection as he mentioned and it seems to keep service at that point. but, still, this is a HUGE bug that i can't believe no one has found until now. how is everyone running this rom not bricking every iphone they send pics to?

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

actually i take that back. her phone is still searching for a signal even with 3G turned off. so that doesn't fix it.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
Okay I have this bug I didnt see posted anywhere else . I have USB debugging

enabled and when plugged in theres no notification in the status bar . Any ideas ?
[HTC Sensation] resynx:
Since sending MMS to Androids and iPhones corrupts them, can we still send MMS to regular phones? By the way, I am receiving MMS just fine. Haven't tried sending 1 though. Also, I haven't edited anything like how some of the recent posts have suggested, everything is normal from the flashed ROM.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I thought the changelog said that the debugging was disabled in the framework.
[HTC Sensation] Sym_Link:
ADB (USB Debugging) is working just fine, just the notification was disabled.
[HTC Sensation] Bionic Beast:
Notification Light

Idk if its the rom or is common with the phone, but every time I have a conversation open in messages, like a text convo open, and i get a text, the notification light keeps blinking forever and wont stop unless I reboot? Any ideas?

On a different note, ABSOLUTELY LOVING the battery life on this rom, I got THREE DAYS on a few occasions.
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
Okay has anyone got to flash a different splash.img through fastboot using 3.24 Revolutionary patched ? I tried and adb just says waiting for device in the bootloader .

I know how to manually flash a new splash by using PG58IMG method but I thought the patched 3.24 hboot allowed for advanced fastboot commands ? Any

ideas ?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I used this one but I flashed this under the 3.17 firmware. It should work, it just flashes the screen from hboot, nothing else is touched.

[HTC Sensation] Serious_Beans:
That sucks man :/ butttt its also kinda funny cuz now I can mess with all my friends
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
I figured out how to manually do it with my own images using PG58IMG, I was

wondering if anyone got fastboot commands working ?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Nah haven't tested fastboot commands yet.
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
it majorly sucks. i have a very pissed off wife right now. and i can't believe that this was just found this afternoon.

anyway, i still don't really know what i'm going to do to fix it. a restore sounds simple enough but again it doesn't make sense to me that it will work.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
On recipient's iPhone, it puts the phone in to a "3G" > "Searching..." > "3G" > "Searching..." loop cycle. iPhone will need an iOS FULL System restore. Not just a restore from backup, but a full 5.0.1 iOS system restore from an ipsw. This will completely wipe the phone and put it back to 100% factory defaults, like the day you brought it home from Apple (example: remember that screen which asked you which language you wanted to use... THAT kind of factory restore). If this is too complicated for you to accomplish on your own, setup an appointment with a "Genius" at an Apple Store to have them do this for you. They WILL help you. This is what they are there for. This is the type of service you paid for when you purchased your iPhone. They want to help you.

This resolution was posted in #4458

EDIT: You can restore from backup to a previous restore point. A backup that was made PRIOR to receipt of the MMS. Plug your iPhone in. to iTunes. Right-click on the iPhone's name in iTunes and select "Restore from backup". Choose a restore point from BEFORE your MMS was sent. If you don't backup often, you probably are learning your first lesson in why backups are important to do. Sorry :(

On recipient's Android, it puts the Messaging app in to random FCs.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Messaging > Clear data

This resolution was posted in #4471

EDIT2: As of now, these are the only solutions I am aware of to resolve the issue. I really wish I could help more, but since I cannot see the exact data which is being transmitted and received and I have nothing to compare with, these are the only solutions I know of.

This resolution was posted at the very top of #4219 and in the middle of #4474 as "If you feel unsafe about editing your APN settings, there is a option called "Reset to default" (pressing Menu) in the APN list which will restore your items back to default." Do this on YOUR phone.
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
i restored her phone from a 5.0.1 firmware. it seems to be working so far. of course she has to set everything back up now which is majorly irritating her.

i have tried all of the APN settings in the threads you posted. at this point i'm not sure which to use and am scared to try any of them and send an MMS. i did send, from her just restored iphone an SMS and MMS to my phone and received both. i didn't try to send anything from my phone to hers though. and i'm not going too.

at this point i'm going to restore back to the bulletproof rom i had before i started today at around noon and forget i wasted a whole day on this.

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

oh. and when i do reset to default all it does is put both APs back in there and they're both configured exactly the way they were when i installed this rom. so, to me, that means that if i reset to default and then try to send an MMS i'm going to be right back where i was.
[HTC Sensation] hompsar:
Besides the mms bug I am loving this rom (besides maybe the tiny ics keyboard) and since I can temporarily live without mms I am excited to see how this rom progresses.

I had no problem sending my friend MMS, but I did setup the APN myself with what's been posted before as a fix.
[HTC Sensation] DarthLuca:
I am literallyin love with the ROM. I'm using it with 1.512_GHz_overclocked_kernel_3.0.16-g9788208_by_SebastianFM kernel and I did not have an even tiny problem. Battery seems to last longer. The only issue for me was the tiny android keyboard so I ADB Sense keybord and now using Touch Input as keyboard. I never do a apk backup and install all my apks fresh after rom. All the ones I'm using are working great with the ROM. I am even thinkink not to upgrade the version.

But there are two things I would love to know

1- is there a way to use landscape mode? Both for home screen and app-widget screen ( I flashed stock louncher after rom not using Nova)

2- is there a way to get rid of google search bar from home screens and use that space for widgets?

thanks rmk40 for the best ROM
[HTC Sensation] id242:
Yup. That is correct.

I am under the impression now that the issue is not with APN settings, instead the issue is with how the Messaging app in VI 3.0.0 is compiled. I believe that it may be sending out corrupt MMS messages. But I cannot 100% confirm this.

Until the dev can recompile or do further testing, restore your APN settings to default and dont send anyone an MMS. Sending SMS/TXT are just fine though.

Is anyone else aware of this exact same "Killer MMS" issue with ICS 4.0.3 roms from other devs who've built using the same HTC 3.24.401.1 TEST RUU?
[HTC Sensation] qwyjibo:
your phone = sensation? correct?

what phone did you send too?

and please post your exact APN settings.

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

i know nothing of rom building could it be something simple like pulling the messaging app out of 4.0.2 and using it instead? i ran that rom for awhile and sent many MMS's with no problem.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I sent them to Android's, no issues. id242 posted them. That's the one I'm using.

My stock ROM did that once. I removed the SD card, popped it in a card reader, inserted in the comp. Everything looked fine. So I inserted the card back in the phone, turned it back on & everything was normal.

[HTC Sensation] Sequester:
I am more than happy with this ROM and I will definitely stick to it. There is only one thing which is annoying. I have some 900 contacts in gmail, 150 with Facebook, 200 in Whatsapp and maybe 50 in Skype. Is there any way to merge them automatically? This is a pain after every update, additionally I delete and reinstall Whatsapp every other day since I still also run my HD2 with Android and Whatsapp can not be run on two devices with the same number.

Am I missing a setting or is this simply not possible atm?

[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
You can turn it back on yourself in the build prop. Persist.adb.notify= 1 < I assume it should have a 1 next to it to enable. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Sensation] stonegroover:
I know what you mean, so I'll give you a straight answer, I was on 2.0.1 and my battery lasted up to 61hrs, the 3.0 ROM is not quite as good for battery life, although it's still great. I never had any problems with the 2.0.1 ROM, but I upgraded anyway, and to be fair the 3.0 ROM is much the same, although the phone signal does drop out occasionally if I have it connected to wi-fi.....

I'm not sure this ROM is worthy of a 3.0 label, in terms of what it feels like or what it does it's more of a 2.1 as far as I can see, but I don't really push my phone hard, obviously other people here do and maybe they have realised the benefit of some 'under the bonnet' improvements. The thing is that this site is by it's very nature full of people who want the bleeding edge, and as soon as even a minor tweak is made, people want it so rmk is only reacting to demand.

Maybe now his ROM is fairly mature and stable he could start to consolidate the release schedule and post experimental builds as and when and 'useful upgrade' builds less often for people like yourself. Hmm, and me, maybe, although I'm still re-flashing every release with a full wipe beforehand :-)
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
The Version number refers only to the base in which it runs atop of... 3.06=1 3.12=2 3.24=3 .... It's not some random numbers meant to think you have a faster rom.. It's simple version scheming so you know if you have to wipe data or be able to use mods... "Worthy of the name" has nothing to do with it.....

Also keep in mind firmware/radio will also affect battery life. So be mindful if you changed firmware versions or didn't upgrade to the newest. Battery life isn't just the rom. The radio can play a HUGE role in battery life.
[HTC Sensation] missinglink69:
rmk40 this rom is the sh_t. I haven't been this excited for awhile this journey reminded me when I purchase my first android G1. I am wondering if you will be releasing another version of this rom with the pull down bar with quick settings. I had a hard time moving on to v3.0.0. Thanks for sharing!!!!
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
When I used this ROM I installed htccontacts.apk from ARHD and set that to default - it automatically identifies duplicates and offers you the option to merge :)

Interestingly, after wiping and installing Quattro, most of my merged contacts seemed to stay merged. Not sure if something in the Google backup did this for me :confused:
