[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
Okay, so I have managed to fix the problem myself after piecing together bits of information from searching existing posts.

While I was searching for answers, I put my SD card into my PC and removed the firmware file. Then I put the SD card back into my phone.

I plugged my phone into my PC while the phone was turned off.

Then I used the windows command prompt to start adb "cd c:\adb"

Then I typed "adb reboot bootloader" to boot the phone into the bootloader. I didn't think this would work with the phone powered off...but it did.

Once in the bootloader, I unplugged the USB cable, and went into Recovery and flashed the ARHD 6.1.1 ROM.

Once the ROM had flashed, I rebooted and everything is working fine again now:)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
You just needed to pull out battery and reinsert.. Then power+ Vol button to enter bootloader ...;)
[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
That's what I thought. But I tried that several dozen times, and it didn't work.
[HTC Sensation] n7of9:
thanks for posting what you did to fix it...every time i'm flashing something i always think i'm going to mess it up :D
[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
No problem. At least now I know that if I ever get stuck in a bootloop again, and I can't get into the bootloader with Vol down + Power, I can use ADB :D

Hello,

I have been looking for 2 days online for the FULL official Default White MIUI 2.3 theme. I have found multiple files, often 1.6mb, which mainly themed the launcher, but nothing else, not the dialer, not the sms, not the menu, not the status bar, etc...

Could you help? Could you link me to a working full zip/mtz file of the theme?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] drkalo:
+1 on that. Couldn't find the complete default white (dialer, notifications etc) theme ... unless I downgrade the ROM.
[Android Themes] zkate15:
The only default theme i have ever seen is the ones around 1.6Mb, if you go into any rom and pull the default theme it is that size. The default theme doesn't actually theme everything it leaves it "stock" white by

not

themeing it. So it only shows the actual parts from the roms UI images. If you want all the stock parts such as status bar and everything else you would have pull apart all the pieces of the rom.

Why wouldn't somebody want to root their phone? I just don't understand why. I mean maybe they're worried about warranties or wanting to return the phone, but that's all I can think of. Does anybody know why people are so scared to root? My friend just refused to let me root his phone because he thinks I'm "breaking" it.

Lay out the advantages of having a rooted device and an unrooted device. Try not to mention returning a phone or warranty issues, because that isn't totally relevant to my argument with my friend (he is NOT turning in his phone anytime soon :p). Right so I'm just curious. I can't imagine having an Android phone and it NOT being rooted.

Pros:

POWER (so much power)

BLN/BLD/Voodoo/Touchwake/OC/UV

Custom Kernels

Custom ROMs

Proper terminal/busybox

Adblock

ClockSync (these android phones have appalling timekeeping)

General customisation (build.prop, icons)

And of course wifikill (this links back to POWER)

etc etc

Cons:

Warranty, though hardware should be under warranty anyway as long as it has nothing to do with software malfunction (power button, usb port, etc).

Damn windows drivers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick N:
Maybe if it requires a lot of work and they do not appreciate customization or control. Perfect iPhone user if you ask me. :D

My brother in law had a Droid X and you had to jump through 15 hoops to root it and flash custom ROMs. He has a Galaxy Nexus now and has no desire to unlock and root it. :screwy:

My coworker has a Xoom and a Bionic and has not rooted either. Then he was complaining how long it was taking for the OTA ICS to be rolled out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
.......

for Nexus series , unlock and root is absolutely required , because they are google's sons and pure blood of Android , with Nexuses you can do all kinda things

Nexuses are for people like us who is DEV or likes flash ROM over and over and over ...

okay , i 'm sorry that off the subject.

but , honestly , for crazy users like we are do need it , because lots thing we do daily needs root access

but for a normal user , that kinda people who doesn't know much things about flash ROM or something , it's kinda not need to be rooted...

root or not , it depends on your usage.

for the people who only use phone to talk to SMS to Gmail and to browser webpage, what roots for ???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
So you're arguing that unrooted is simplicity from what I gathered in that text lol :p? I don't know. I'm still not convinced. I believe it is better to root. If you root you will finally be able to get that "one" thing your phone is missing. Ever single person in this world has had a moment where they say "I wish my phone could..." ... well it can if they root it :p

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokkir:
For my friend, his reason not rooting is because he's really lazy. And the possibility of his phone bricking is too worry some for him to root especially when he doesn't really need to.

When I was deciding not to root or not was because of the warranty. I just realized I could lock it again and return it for warranty if anything :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhuang:
Well, how should I suppose to say this. The only reason I buy Android phone is because it could be rooted. And this is where all the fun is!!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
You'll only brick it if you're are "smart" enough not to read what the ROM or whatever you're using supports your phone. Warranty issues are not includes for just such reason lol. If somebody can give me 3 point how rooting is better I will praise you and my friend. So fair stock:0 rooted:a heavy amount

I am always worried of the EFS folder :(

BTW : would that folder be at risk if the device is rooted ? and would rooted devices are at more risk that some app would screw an original one ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergie716:
Because most people only care about 3 things

1) Can it make calls

2) Can it send SMS/MMS

3) Can I browse the web

If a phone matches that criteria most are good to go
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deetailed:
I am not a dev, nor am I a programmer. The most I can do is follow instructions and edit simple things like font style and color in XMLs. I don't dare flashing bleeding edge stuff, so I always read reviews and go with something other people have tried first.

Still, I think that for an Android phone, rooting is much better than not rooting if you want to get the most out of your money. The performance and battery life can be improved, depending on the phone model, one can get a mild improvement (like with Nexus S) or dramatic change that makes you feel as if your phone gets a new life. Some people may not be inclined to backup often or spend time read up on XDA, but if they have a friend/relative who likes those stuff, it would be nice to have that friend/relative pick a stable setup and put those in (and set periodic auto backup for apps/messages). When others are whining "updates where? I have waited for MONTHS for GB/ICS", custom ROM users are already enjoying the new features.

Warranty still applies as long as you have the card. I've fixed the power button of my under-warranty LG Optimus One and they got it done with no questions asked. I know someone who had their Nexus S bricked due to wrong flashing and they still get to claim warranty.

If a person only uses their phone for calls, text and the occasional browsing, buying an Android phone is probably a waste of money.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amedika:
Hey budday...

To answer the initial question as to why some one, but in this case I do not want to root is out of fear bricking my phone. Also I've found it fairly easy to customize without ..but in this case if you can lay out an easily read diagram or some sh!t then maybe people(me) will be more compelled to. Or for your sake make your argument a better one !

Especially with this ridiculously delayed OTA for my nexus ..and with no indication as to why! ? That's what I really wanna know!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
Maybe they want to leave it stock to not deal with the headache. Most ppl root just to tether for free and thats it.

My work place is gey. In order to access the Corporate Exchange server using the Good for Enterprise app, my phone has to be unrooted. The Good app sees that I have superuser binary on my phone and won't allow access. I can't use my phone without it rooted, I'll go nuts. So I ditched Good, and my phone stays rooted. Why are Corporations afraid of rooted phones?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_psycho:
LOL, i know what you're saying. but they don't do that to insult you or imply you don't know anything. They don't know who you are or how much you know. It is simply the best way to approach a problem. If a user said they did something, how do you really know? (e.g. user says they rebooted the computer. but what they did was log out and log back in)

Anyways, there are different reasons why someone might not wanna root. If they don't wanna hear it then stop pushing. who doesn't hate that religious guy insisting you go to his church? when you keep pushing people to root you are that guy.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As a new Nexus S user who is yet to root, it is something I am planning on doing, but the shear number of ROMs and kernel's is very daunting, and it seems I'm going to have to set aside a fair few hours when I finally decide to do it. I'm sure once it's done I'll be hooked, it's just the initial jump that's delaying it for me.

Due to the huge number of people involved in Nexus S development (and this is not a bad thing by any means!) I am finding it difficult to find a suitable starting point.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cttttt:
I guess one reason some people don't root is that they don't want apps doing things that don't fall under the permissions they were granted. Once you allow an app to run as root, all bets are off. It could do anything from installing other apps to changing the recovery.

Besides that, not sure. It's possible to go back to stock pretty easily, and as far as the warranty, I wouldn't imagine they'd turn you back if there was a genuine hardware issue.

well my first android device was the s2 and i did root it at the first week, my second and third android devices were galaxy note then galaxy nexus and i did root those at the first day as soon as they came out of the box. Tried too many custom ROMs and my favorite was CyenogenMod10 but now I got a galaxy S3 and honestly after disabling bloatware in the application manager i do not see any reason to root it !!!! i am very happy with what it offers!! it is much better than any custom rom i have ever tried on any of my previous devices the only thing i am missing from CM10 is Google Now but not very much and i will be getting that when the s3 is officially updated to jellybean OTA.

OK why not to root and completely uninstall all that bloatware including useless S Voice and other staff that you never use ?

well because i keep reading everywhere that rooting my device does give full control over everything BUT not only to me. If one day someone could access my credit card information or hack my payment methods or personal emails sent via mobile I want to have someone to blame for it, if i am rooted i cannot blame anyone.

and there is one more reason why not to root

its a feeling when your device gets over heating or hangs a little on something, you always think its because of something wrong in that devilish custom ROM or that crazy kernel is ratting my battery life and start the journey of solving the problem. if you are not rooted its Samsung fault. period.

at first i was probably in the same boat as your friend. I was scared I was gonna brick my phone. But I took some time to educate myself on how to root it. read ALOT of guides and threw as much knowledge into my brain as I could about rooting my phone and then after almost a year of having my nexus s unrooted, I finally decided to jump the gun and did it. and now i will not turn back :p every phone I get I must root. I got a nexus 7, less than a month after having it; I was having performance issues with certain games so I rooted it and added a custom kernel and boom, games were lightning fast ;)

My phone was completely charged before I got to work. Aside from the couple minutes I used it, it has been on a USB charger the whole time. By the end of the day an alert comes on saying the phone is using more power then it getting from the charge and I should close the apps. I have almost none running and my battery meter says 70% of the use is from the screen even though it's been off 98% of my work day. This is the 2nd rom I've used ([ROM][GB][EXCLUSIVE] Thunderbolt MR4 Sense 3.0 Leak [DEODEXED/DEBLOAT]), the first being CM. I haven't done any changes to the kernel. I've had the phone for a couple days. Is it the phone or maybe the ROM?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltersobchak96:
Have you calibrated your battery? If not, try that first.

Also, I know that the usb charger is pretty weak compared to the wall charger. I think the screen usually uses most of the power normally

Although some ppl think calibration doesn't help ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21729673), it certainly doesn't hurt.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Manipulation:
If you've tried calibrating the battery and thats not work it might be that the batterys faulty. Try a different battery and see if that works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tlsty:
the battery MUST be ok, as it is only 2.5 months in use in the phone. It worked and after I re-flashed the standard ROM, it worked a few charges and now it went crazy. the Battery Monitor Widget is not able to detect the battery capacity (mAh) and when charging, it indicated 100% at almost 4.00 V, where it shall be 4.2V as 100%.

I will completely discharge the phone, and when it shuts down, will put it to the charger, turn it on, calibrate - erase the battery info, unplug, discharge untill it will completely turn off, charge it with phone being OFF and the, after it will be completely fully charged, turn it on.

will see where the rabbit hole goes...
