yep, thought so, it's because your s-on again. nothing will work, not even flashing .zip through bootloader.

Sorry mate, we tried. :o
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Hey thanks for trying and sorry for taking up your time. Guess its fingers crossed at htc then when i send it back !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Your only hope is to get an unbranded stock UK ROM. Try to search hard on the forums, may be its lurking somewhere.

Feeling sorry it happened to you man!

Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Thanks I'll have another look but I real feel I've tried everyone out there.

Also do you need your bootloader locked or unlocked to flash the stock roms.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
No problem mate. Shame it didn't work.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash an official stock RUU. The one I mentioned earlier is also the one in my sig in blue at bottom of all my posts. It's the latest STOCK RUU from HTC 1.50.401.1 for the Sensation. And for Sensation XE's it this one http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe

However, if ones phone is branded to o2 like mine was, I had to s-off, supercid, flash stock RUU and then go back to s-on.

Takecare bud and Goodluck
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Ok but my bootloader is unlocked so do i need to lock it before flash a stock rom.

Really sorry for my noob like questions but i just wanna be sure.

Hey and thanks for the link, downloading now !!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
Shouldn't matter, but you went s-on on a test leak bootloader. Although it says unlocked at top of your bootloader, you are in fact locked because it says s-on!

If your bootloader said locked in pink at the top but said s-off then you would have an unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Ok my device has unlocked in pink and s-on so that's really the main problem.

But i could still flash the right stock rom though ?????? My heads spinning, think a return to htc is the only outcome.I'm really concerned they will know its been rooted though.

Just wish I'd left it Rooted.

Doh !!!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
You can try stock rom. Plug in pc on charge & start ruu. HTC know your phones been unlocked because like you said it's been done through them.

Hopefully nothing more than a shipping charge. The hardware is OK so just a re-flash should sort it.
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Fingers crossed, I'll keep you updated on everything if thats ok ???

Thanks a bunch, I really mean it.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
And this is why warnings should be put on the ICS leak links, or removed from non-Devs altogether

Take heed n00bs
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
Just some suggestions:

What is the CID if the phone? Did you try an RUU for that CID?

Did you try flashing the ENG Hboot throgh hboot? If it does succeed, I think you will be able to flash any RUU afterwards.
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Hi I'm pretty sure the CID is htc-001 or something close to that. Regards flashing a RUU that matches how would I find that out ?????? My phone when purchased was factory unlocked and unbranded.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
Phone back all sorted just flashed a ics rom onto the phone all good now.

No longer a noob I learnt the hard way though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] djnero666:
Hi,

I have the same problem as you, s-on and hboot 1.23.0000.

But how escaped in ICS? Can you help me? Please.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] su27:
I have the same problem - how did you solve it?
[HTC Sensation] andyshep1974:
The phone was bricked i sent it back to Htc for repair and they sent me a new device so I then went through the rooting process very carefully and flashed a ics rom to a s-off device. I couldn't solve the issue and i had with the original phone even with loads of help and advice from this site. So If your having the same problem my advice is to send away for repair/warranty.
[HTC Sensation] LMQT:
Here is the solution for HBoot 1.23.000

Same problem for me : fuc.... 1.23.000 S-ON HBoot and impossible to upgrade or downgrade it !

After trying plenty of methods, this one (Juopunutbear S-OFF) as worked very well for me : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614617

(be carefull as there are two versions, one for GB, the other for ICS).

Good luck ...

recommand use fastboot getvar all and find out the main version and find the match hboot file (GB or ICS) and program from Juopunut s-off unlimited.io

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straydog13:
So I got a B&N Nook Tablet for Christmas. My family sent it to me from the States, but after playing around with it, it seems the only way this thing is going to be very useful for me is if I can install my VPN on it. As there's no native way to do this, I have been trying to root it following instructions I found on a blog.

Which led me here. I have managed to restore to 1.4.0 (after going through a couple Micro SD cards), but I can't download and/or install the hidden settings app. At first I couldn't access the multiupload site without a VPN (I guess it's blocked here in China), but I then set up my laptop as a wireless access point in the apartment with connection through the VPN, so I can access the site on my Nook, but maybe it's because the connection is so slow, I cannot download anything to the Nook from that site. It simply won't start downloading.

Is there any way around this???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] miniblue:
Have you tried downloading to your laptop and transferring the file by usb to the Nook?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
have you tried the sd card method? check my signature. One package, all files you need are there. Just need to access the internet once.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straydog13:
Sorry, I should have mentioned in the original post that I did try to download it on my PC, load it to a Micro SD card, then put the card on the Nook and try to open it. That didn't work, either. The Nook didn't recognize it as a file type that could be read.

have you tried changing your DNS addresses i use google DNS 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 which have even help to open pages that with normal ISP DNS didn't like game sites that my boyfriend plays lol. There is Open DNS too use the one that works better for you.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straydog13:
Thanks for the link, but I'd rather get this thing working than have to buy some new hardware. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straydog13:
I don't think there's a way to access and change the DNS address on the Nook without rooting it, which gets back to the original problem...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
It can be done if he changes the DNS directly in the router so all the devices that get connected to that router will automatically use the new DNS addresses :cool:

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] straydog13:
I'm using my laptop as a router and my laptop is on a VPN, so when I connect to the network on the Nook, it's through the VPN, so accessing the site is not the problem. It's just how unbearably slow it is. The download never begins!

Oh, and FWIW, yes, I have been using Google's open DNS... :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Can you "download" it from your computer through the browser?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Quick question:

- are you rooted? If not, you don't need the hidden apps, you can use appmenu.

Try using your nook browser to download/install appmenu.apk from this link:

http://suipre.com/a68291 - courtesy of spoland from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353040

- Use your nook browser, type in the url of the app link and after it downloads select the little icon in the lower left corner of your nook and select the apk and select package installer.

Then try rooting w/ this method.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:
A nice post. Well, i'm NOT Chinese but right now living in China. I got NOOK Tablet with 1.4.0. As mentioned at the top, its hard to download these apps here in China. These are blocked. and worst thing is that i don't have VPN either. So i have to stuck with available resources. I'm using connectify through my laptop to connect internet with my tablet. However two days ago it stopped and every time when i try to connect, i get the same error DHCP error (Wi-Fi Error 103). I asked one of my lab fellow to root it using local resources and he did it but while exploring it somewhere i pressed some wrong button and it is reset to factory settings. Now it is showing 1.4.1.

I am NOT a geek and specially in China, i am totally helpless without knowing chinese language and without able to access the required stuff from other places. Can someone help me to download these stuff from other place? and can use SD Card to root it by myself without asking chinese friends to help?

i can use limited (within chinese govt. censorship) internet on laptop but certainly now i can't access internet on NOOK Tablet directly. So, can i root it with internet access only on laptop but not directly on tablet? or any way to solve this DHCP issue? as i do used connectify and accessed internet on NOOK Tablet through laptop. Oh and i do bought 32GB (Class 10) SD Card specially for this tablet.

Thanks a lot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
-Hello first of all as you got the 1.4.1 update you need to download the acclaim_update.zip to go back to 1.4.0 from AdamOutler's thread in developing section because you just can't root in 1.4.1. The file is hosted XDA so i think you should not have problem downloading it, once you're done the ∩ button won't work so you need to follow these steps in order to bring it to life.

- Once in 1.4.0 next step will be to root by using Indirect's(recommended) or cfoesch's methods for that you just need internet 1 time to download tgps_launcher.apk the rest you do it in your laptop plugged to your nook. If you fall into issues with drivers or anything check my FAQ (link is in my signature)

I will post 2 video links follow them in order:

1. Bypass registration of Nook Tablet by Albert Wertz

2. FREE How To Root Nook Tablet Step by Step by Albert Wertz of Tabletroms

PS: try if possible in the app or your laptop that you share internet to your tablet somewhere to change the DNS addresses to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 because you need the tgps_launcher

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:
Hi Veronica, thanks for detailed reply.

First of all, i solved the issues of my router. so, now i can connect the NOOK Tablet with internet through router. But again, can't access youtube & some other websites (by default). I've also downloaded acclaim_update.zip & downgraded it to 1.4.0. After successful setup, i immediately disconnected/turn off wifi from the device. But further going to root by using Indirect's method, i again need usbdrivers.zip, tgps_lancher.apk and Nook&Zergy.zip which are not accessible inside china. so again i'm stuck here. is there any other alternative place from where i can download these files? or i can provide shared space on my NAS for that and if you can upload there? (with bundle of thanks)...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
Sure just PM me where you want me to upload them, maybe other servers work have you tried minus.com?, anyway whatever its better for you i can upload the files you need.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:

i have sent u the info regarding uploading...

Done I uploaded Nook&Zergy.zip, tgps_launcher.apk, unzipme-to-block-OTA.zip and RootME-mod wich is a modified version of Nook&Zergy i created and added other apps, modified build.prop and removed homecatcher. Enjoy.

Will upload latest version of Snowball aswell and maybe is better if share this so other users can use it too?

Once again BIG Thanks Veronica for uploading the files for those who can't access in China.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:
So finally after lot of hit & trials, i successfully rooted it by myself. feeling confident enough, i wanna move to next steps.

the major issues right now:

1. There is no option to switch to Chinese or Arabic keyboard. even after downloading some keyboard apps, while trying to change keyboard, all apps force close.

2. Is there any way to back up the installed apps? so that in case of rooting again, these can be restored, instead of downloading again from apps market. or if something goes wrong, restoring bring it back to rooted NT with installed apps at the time of backup? (just like in windows, there is complete system backup & recovery stuff)

Thanks in advance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
For back-ups install Titanium Back-up. Stores a back-up folder on the SD card and you can recover from that after a re-boot, etc.

Also check out this thread for alternate keyboard instructions:

Sent from XDA premium using my Nook Tablet :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] uflibra:
thanks. i gone through titanium backup & recovery. i think it is effective after rooting. i.e. even if u wanna recover, it will only recover the apps, user data & sd card contents, but not the OS itself. and CWM...? i don't have yet any idea about it. i tried to search in android market but didn't find any useful results.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
CWM you dont find in the market, it is in development section but my advice is first look around for troubleshooting before you jump into it, just don't be messing around and you won't need it until we get a nice custom ROM worth to try out :)

Peace!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabaramo:
I finally reverted back to GB after pretty much trying every ICS ROM.

All ICS ROM's feel slightly laggy no matter the ROM or the kernel and no matter the combination.

The latest I tried was Kangy6 with stevegaron's kernel which seemed the most fluid of all combinations.

However, comparing it with my stockish with Franco's 8dec kernel makes ICS feel slow in comparison.

Am I the only one?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vennstrom:
nope...I flashed ICS on the release day...went back to GB in the evening never look back.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Funny you should say that. The youtube Nexus S GB vs ICS videos that i've seen seem to suggest GB being faster and smoother in side-by-side comparisons. I'm in no hurry to switch!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark_On_Land:
I myself is using modified CM7.1RC0AOSP2.3.7GB as base. But far as CM9AOSP4.0.3ICS goes its still not ready for folks like me for DD yet.

As I described below how extensively its optimized and most of it is outside the scope of current XDA.

What you have to understand is performance is not measured via synthetic benchmarks (ex: Quadrant). The biggest issue with people is that they don't know enough to know that they don't know, so they compare it with silly numbers (ex: score) they can't comprehend what they see, much less put numbers behind real life activities that's not applicable in controlled environment.

OS development which eliminates most of it but on software level custom base rom (ex: CyanogenMod) is highly optimized and tweaked to run on optimal performance. Mostly, but not all. But does it mean it can't be tweaked any further? (Rhetorical) No. How do I know? We (scope outside of XDA) tweaked it to the next level. How you ask?

1) Optimized ext4fs: reduced r/w rate (healthy NAND lifespan), improved journaling (corrupted data writeback integrity) = Which improves the IOPs and performance access rate.

2) HC3.x fugu binaries, patched sqlite libraries, mSD read ahead buffer fix.

3) Modified VM: OOM (Out Of Memory), LMK (Low Memory Killer), VM heap (Virtual Machine), DRA (Dirty Ratio), DBR (Dirty Background Ratio), DWC (Dirty Writeback Centisecs), DEC (Dirty Expired Centisecs), SWP (Swap), VCP (VFS Cache Pressure).

4) Increased minfree value: Background, Foreground, Empty, Hidden, Visible, Secondary, Content.

5) Optimized cache: File and Drop cache, Forced cache (resident loop).

6) Custom kernel: OC/UC, UV/SVS/VDD, BFS/CFS, RSU/NP/VR/SP supported.

7) Custom ROM: Optimized Rom script and props (ex: CyanogenMod).

this as its tweaked to THE next level. I'll stick with AOSP2.3.7GB until ICS4.X is more stable and we understand more as most memory grouping and adjustments might be changed.

I bet most of you only do 2 of those thing (6&7)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
I too keep finding myself restoring back to my good 'ol GB MIUI. I have tried just about every ICS combo out there and either get reboots, freeze-ups, and/or apps don't work properly yet.
