[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You need to flash the Clockwork recovery. You can do that by creating a PM58IMG.ZIP file with the clockwork recovery image and putting it on the root of your SD Card and running it as an update.

Or the much simpler way (Meaning fewer extra steps) is to use 4ext this one time to install a custom ROM, boot up into you rnow working phone and download ClockworkMod from the market and let ClockworkMod flash itself as the new recovery.

You might have to install Google Apps separately to get access to the market. That's dependent on the ROM. Some have it prepackaged. Some don't.

You won't have to go back and reinstall the ROM or anything after flashing the new recovery through the ClockworkMod app. Everything will work fine even though you installed it using 4ext.
[HTC Sensation] Mftek1:
Thanks a lot bro.

Question.

Can I now, just download clockwork from the market and flash it over the recovery I have now?
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Tried, it didn't work i guess this phone is Bricked then.

Oh well, Gutted though.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No. Not if the ROM you have installed isn't rooted.

Clockwork needs Superuser access to do anything. So it wouldn't be able to function without root.

There's nothing wrong with 4ext. It'll work just fine to boot up once even if you strongly prefer Clockwork.

(Also....not to be greedy, but I wouldn't complain if you hit the thanks button! :D)

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

On the plus side it's not worthless. It has value on eBay as a bricked device for parts.

Also, there's a thread around here somewhere called something like "Think you bricked your device? Check here first"

Check in there for other solutions. (That thread might be for the MyTouch 4G. I just switched phones so I've got all my threads between the forums mixed up in my head.)
[HTC Sensation] Mftek1:
And thanks is given lol :)

Does anyone else notice dust particles under the screen?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Yeah that's a thing. Poor build quality at the factory.

From the poll that's up around here somewhere your odds of getting a dusty screen are about 50/50.

You can find that same thread in any forum for any HTC device on XDA. It's poor quality control by HTC.

You can tear the phone apart and wipe it down....but that obviously has a lot of other risks. Unless the dust is so bad it physically blocks the light from the screen from showing through....learn to like it.
[HTC Sensation] Mftek1:
Well I did the tear down and hinge fix for the g2.

Can you point me to the direction to what you have said.

Thanks bro

That'll give you everything you want to know.

Skip the part about obtaining S-Off since you've already go that. Do the rest of the stuff. (Step 2 in that guide is how to get Clockwork recovery the PM58IMG way. It just doesn't call it Clockwork.)

The first thing you need to do though is pick which of the ROMs you want from the 900 threads in the development section.
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Thanks anyway and again really good advice and help.
[HTC Sensation] Mftek1:
Thank you once again bro. Your the best!
[HTC Sensation] Mftek1:
1 more question. Since I don't have root access but I'm able to flash a Rom by doing it in recovery

How can I make a full backup? In case something goes wrong
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You can make a backup in recovery. (At least you can with Clockwork. I assume you can with 4ext)

You can also download the stock ROM and start over that way. It's available here somewhere. I think the "Shipped ROM collection" thread.

Hi There,

Why is it still not possible to have video calls with MSN contacts on android? I know there are possibilities like Skype which I like but most of my contacts are using Windows Live Messenger on their PC.

I read somewhere that this is due to a restriction by Microsoft. If this is true, isn't it possible for the great devs here to develop a workaround? This is the only feature I am really missing on android.

Thanks for your answers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davej99:
Video chat on live messenger

I am really looking for this too, but to no avail. Skype works perfectly, why not Windows live messenger, with so many great developers in here(no sarcasme intended) there must be a workaround. Allthough i'm using a SGN it should be the same app.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eon_designs:
Hello All

Suddenly have this very annoying problem. Did a quick search, but did not find anything similar.

I have had my Desire for about 18 months and had no problems at all. Updated to the most recent Android version from HTC when it was released some months ago (2.3.3) - no problems there either.

However, over the last couple of days the batter usage has just gone completely stupid.

The battery used to last a good few days before being charged, - this would include normal day to day use - texting, checking emails a few phone calls etc. Each night I would turn off the mobile part to conserve battery.

But now it only lasts about 20 hrs and that is just being left idle - not doing any surfing, mobile checking, phone calls or texting (the mobile part is turned off) Basically just being left on a shelf and not being touched at all. If I do actually do any basic phone stuff then the battery drops even more to basically half a days worth. - Useless.

Thinking it was a bad app I decided to do a complete factory reset - did not add any new apps, just left it in its reset form and it still does not last very long.

Looking at the battery usage this is the results - Call Standby 43%, Phone Idle 43%, Display 9% and Android OS 5%

Any suggestions? Has the battery gone? Do they usually just go like this, or do they normally slowly decrease?

Your suggestions please.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vashishtuday:
18 months hmmm , since you have already tried looking for a bad app , am pretty sure its the battery that needs replacement mate

Would have asked you to change Rom once if you were rooted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eon_designs:
No my handset is not rooted - basically just as it came from my provider (except the official HTC 2.3.3. upgrade)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnos:
I wish mine lasted 20 hours. Mine is almost 2 years old and I’m lucky if I get 12-15hours. And if I get to 20% the phone just dies :P

Batteries get worse after time and they can’t hold as much charge as before so a getting a new battery is a good idea.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eon_designs:
Just ordered one on Play for abot £8 - hopefully that will last me the last few months of my contract
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eon_designs:
Well I got a new battery yesterday (HTC Manufacture) and it does not look too good: (The only app I have installed since a factory reset is Batterylife from curvefish)

This is my usage:

Fully charged 100% at 4pm. Turned on mobile data, checked email, made 2 text messages.

left phone alone, no calls, no texts, no emails.

Checked phone at 8pm. Battery down to 84%. Turned off mobile data and left phone alone till the morning.

Checked phone at 7am. Battery down to 40%.

Checked phone at 9am. Turned on Mobile data, checked email.

Checked phone at 11.30am. Made 6 text messages, checked email. Battery down to 29%

Checked phone at 1.45pm. Battery down to 17%

At this rate it will not last 24 hrs, on what seems to be very very light use.

Any suggestions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eon_designs:
Just thought this may be of interest - (or not)

Contacted VirginMedia regarding the battery issue. Ended up sending the handset back to them to be fixed. As it turns out they acknowledged the handset had a problem, but were unable to fix it, so sent me out a new handset.

So far - it was fully charged friday evening and I still have 40% battery left today (Monday) so I am back to a good working phone.

But when I went to restore it it didn't give me an option to restore. Looks like datas were saved but the actual apks are gone. I had assumed TB had made a backup of the apks before I deleted them from system/app

Missing apks:

MyLibrar 2.1.0

Talk 4.0.3-239410

WebStorage 1.1.38.4657

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yep OTA is no good now with system apps deleted. Did you know with ICS you could've just frozen those apps instead? its built into the prime. You "should" still be able to manually update through Asus website bit those updates take a while after release to be put up there.

Actually in developement there's a system dump from a prime. download the system dump then unzip it and look for the specific apk you need in there.

I learned my lesson the hard way like you with my Atrix. I rooted n deleted system apps n OTA wouldn't wrk.

With ICS I froze (and it hides then) like 10 system apps... I like that function a lot.

Sweet found them! Now I'm hopefully back in the game!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
what system apps did you disable or found useless? I wonder when OTA updates come do you need to re-enable those apps/defrost them for OTA to work or can they just stay frozen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
I think I'm good now. The datas from TB that I backed up is no longer there since I reinstalled the missing system apks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Darn. The ICS system dump for some reason doesn't contain apks,

MyLibrar 2.1.0

Firstly you need to ensure that you can install any apk file. To check this go to Settings > Security and tick the Unknown Sources box.

Then copy the APK to the phones internal storage, download a file explorer from the Market (ES File Explorer) locate the file, run and then Install.
