Ok, tell me what Im doing wrong. Ive read all the posts.

Running viperrom 2.5 with the 2.17 base.

Tried installing both the GB and the ICS DJ TOG files.

When I try to run the phone app, I get the error

"cant launch the requested activity"

I checked and the ROM is deodexed.

Ive cleared cache and davlik before flashing with TWRP.

Any advice? Im loving the look of this dialer and want it.

Thanks

Thank you. Makes sense (no pun intended).

Just flash that ROM on top without wipe,it will restore your setup

Hi Guys

I'm trying to help a friend with a Desire.

Last night her phone just bricked, one minute it was okay then all of a sudden it came up with a screen that I can't remember. (Sorry). Now it's stuck on HTC screen. If I hold power and vol down and try to go into recovery, I get a black screen with pic of a phone and a red triangle.

Her phone is S-On, non rooted etc.

Is there anything I can do ?

Help would be appreciated!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
In recovery triangle, press vol up plus power. You can try factory reset. If not contact HTC to get it fixed under their 2 year ,warranty
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmizibasliklioglan:
do you want to flash a new rom or rescue the phone ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] de-v8:
Rescue the phone would be good although I know the data will be lost.

I tried to factory reset but no luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirmizibasliklioglan:
i could tell you how you can flash a new rom but i can not tell how to rescue the phone. as my previous speaker told, you must bring the phone to the htc´s repair shop. are your datas not saved on sd-card ?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mzaza:
Hello,

Have any one noticed that the Droid RAZR surrounding plastic border, at the back, color gets dim from putting it on your desk or table. It's not very obvious, you wont see it except in strong light, but it's obvious enough to bother me every time I look at my RAZR :(

I have attached a pic I found online which has the same problem as mine and I highlighted the scratched or the dim parts on the plastic border.

Is there a fix for these scratches?

What were you thinking in, Motorola. Why didn't you choose a stronger material around the phone, I mean you did a great job by choosing gorilla glass to protect the display and Kelvar fabrics on the back, and the coating which protects the internal body parts. Yet you made the material which gets the most damages and is highly vulnerable out of plastic...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marsonist:
If you ever owned an iPod with a stainless steel back you'd know that being plastic or metal won't change the eventual appearance of fine scratches. Glass stays shiny and doesn't scratch as easily, but we all saw the crap people gave Apple for making the back of their phone out of that.

I doubt that the scratches can be removed even if they could be you're just going to get them back by putting the phone on your desk again. If you have to go out of your way to look for it under a strong light, it sounds like you either need a case, a hobby, or both.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
There actually is a method for removing scratches:

1. Fine grain abrasive paper

2. Abrasive paste

But that will eliminate the paint on your backplate and you should re-paint it with an acrylic paint (like spray paint).

If you're so brave to do that...well..do it...but consider the idea of taking your RAZR as it is and to not put it directly on your desk but like me, put it on its pouch.

The fact that it's going to be scratched is absolutely normal... it's a phone..!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
The coolest thing you can do would be to take out the back plate and sent it to a powdercoater. That's what I would do but I think it will mess up the warranty. it would be so cool though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Isn't it an excess to powdercoat it? :P

Hey probably in 1 year you won't have it anymore xD

....But I have to admit it would be cool. :D :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mzaza:
Can't polish and compound fix it?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jiwengang:
I have the same problem with my first Droid Razr. Then returned it to Verizon Wireless because I got the deal from Amazon.

And on second one, I put more care over that plastic bezel and put carefully a slice of transparent tape to cover it.

Though running at the risk of scratching the plastic bezel, I still let it run nakedly because it is the thinnest phone in the world and any cover will blow that title.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tomstacey:
Mine scratched in the same places. I used car polish (Meguires Scratch X) to remove them. Just be gentle. I keep mine in my Casemate case now to prevent more.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] schizo:
That! One of the reason I moved from sgs2 because the plasticky body also collect the scratch at the same area (top and bottom). But it turned out razr metal body also can collect scratch... Geezz, i always put in my left pocket together with handkerchief, never ever put any coins or metallic substances near my phone....

And now, while i look closer to my screen, it too has collect two fine scratch line. Small, but i can see it. I think gorilla glass is way overhyped... As i wander around i also found this:

p.s: can we sue corning? or those guys who hammered their gorilla-glassed phone on you tube with knife?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
The title of your thread implies that you already have a fix. You should have it edited.

Otherwise just buy a dang cover/case for the phone or buy little soft towels for every spot you put it down...

I Am wondering if it is possible to turn and android phone with a bad esn into my house phone by using my wifi and a free voip app on the phone. What app would you recommend?
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Theres an app my friend uses on his Xoom. I can't remember what it is off of the top of my head and his tablet is locked. I know you have to pay for calls after a certain point.
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
I have herd you can use sipdriod and I think Google voice and make it work. You will actually have a number for the phone for free over wifi.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Its called TextPlus. You get a number with it too.

[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Can you call for free over wifi?
[Motorola Droid X2] metro77279:
It's called Groove IP. It works with your Google voice number. Get a free Google number and install groove Ip, sign on with your Google account and you're in business.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
Your first 15 minutes is free but you have to pay after that. Idk what the rate is.

[Motorola Droid X2] metro77279:
You guys gotta try groove Ip, it really works and it's 100% free over WiFi
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Sweet! I'll check it out thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Tried groove IP. Its ok but sipdrioid is free and seems to do the same thing. I have Google voice and sipdroid and can make phone calls out with my Google number. But still wonder if it will work on a known activated phone because it seems to need the android phone number to link it to Google voice. Any thoughts.
[Motorola Droid X2] metro77279:
It didn't ask me for my number, utter should only ask for your Google account info. Is Google asking for your number or groove Ip.?
[Motorola Droid X2] metro77279:
This is all it asks for...... I can send it to you but I don't know how to do it here
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Yeah the number is created by Google voice and all you do is link groove IP or sipdroid to Google voice.

Can't get Google voice to link to my phone. When I call the Google voice number it rings my house phone not my cell.
[Motorola Droid X2] metro77279:
Go on Google.com/voice from your computer and change the settings. IT HAS TO BE DONE FROM YOUR PC
[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
Thanks that is what o needed to do. Go on the PC.

[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:

why are you plugging it into the computer when you turn it on?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
turn what on ?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
like i said even with debugging OFF it still does it once. just doesnt make me pull my battery to get it to stop.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
I think what he/she was asking is are you plugging it into the computer and then turning the phone on when this happens?

S-off on hboot 1.23

Hi trkaaa,

over in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494336&page=3

Rhiannon recommended that we ask you for your help about getting s-off on hboot 1.23 because you are very knowledgeable on this. There are a number of us who have this problem (unlocked with HTC Dev - S-on - cannot flash radio or hboot and cannot flash any RUU, even those with hboot 1.23 or 1.27):

Is there any solution you could suggest to get back to hboot 1.17 so we can use Revolutionary to get S-off? Have tried all the options in this thread but none of them works for hboot 1.23.

Thank you in advance for your help!
[HTC Sensation] lapegna:
Hello,

I am a noob here. My question is regarding rooting the Sensation. I rooted mine successfully and installed ISC.

Now on my friends device, we followed the same steps. After using Revolution, i booted to boot mode. When we tried to install pg58img if said SID Incorrect, Install Failed.

I did delete the pg58img file after from the main directory of the SD card after.

It is now caught in a boot loop. I can't seem to get out of.

Any recommendations?

Currently has HSBOOT 1.27

I did search in the forums and could not find a solution.

Hi,

I got phone unlocked by HTC dev method, installed one of 2.3.5 based custom rom from insertcoin and flashed boot.img from same. However, the phone is still showing unlocked, S_ON hboot 1.18.x

I tried to download 2.3.3 rom mentioned but both links not working hence used insertcoin.

Revolutionary fails at last step, and none of the RUU flash ( please use right RUU message displayed) , I am superCID and its unbranded sesnsation 4G

I appreciate any help that you provide
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Android 2.3.5 most probably will not work . in my Post above " Find a Custom rom ( an old

Stock Rooted Rom Android 2.3.x “ better 2.3.3 , note that 2.3.5 will not work with revolutionary

“ "

the RUU maybe didn't work with you because you are using Android 2.3.5 and trying to flash RUU's 2.3.4 ( Older )

use Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4

Rooted Stock Custom Rom

, look in this link you will find a lot of Rooted stock Custom Roms here http://www.htcsensationroms.com/

lock htc bootloader before using revolutionary and follow instructions in title " Revolutionary Method ( Gingerbread and ICS ) "

i added an alternative way to flash custom rom , you may try it if you want in title " [FONT=&quot][ Update ] [/FONT]Alternative Method to Flash Boot.img for Custom Roms "

[HTC Sensation] lovefromsky:
Thanks , unfortunately, multiupload is no more opening up tried different roms all are on multiupload and hence cant download, my bad.

Any possibility of a 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 rom any other site, a mirror may be
[HTC Sensation] lovefromsky:
This is what I have now:

1. Hboot screen shows Unlocked, though when I try to relock using htc dev method "Fastboot oem lock" it says phone is already locked

2. PG58IMG.zip do not get flashed, Revolutionary fails after displaying rebooting once moar

3. I am 2.3.4, used Android revolution HD custom ROM with unsecure boot.img, however the rom zip do not have boot.img file that I can flash after installing rom using recovery. ROM boots fine and I am able to use the phone

RUU is not flashing, sometimes USB connection error sometimes " not the right RUU".

Please help, I need to have S-ON and like to falsh the official RUU. I tried multiple things and its not working out.

Looking for your help as it works but may be I am missing something somewhere :(

Got S-OFF ultimately :), I used 4ext recovery and formatted all paritition except sdcard, did factory reset and then installed 2.3.4 custom rom, ran Revolutionary and voila I am S-OFF

Hboot is now 1.17 and it displays Revolutionary (correctly so).

However, RUU is saying getting flashed stating "use the right RUU" though I am using the right one, I am SuperCID so will try to remove superCID and see if that works

will update.

Thanks for your help

"BELOW IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU, PLEASE TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE USING BELOW" Trkaa gave the main idea and I am really thankful to him and all the XDA for once again helping me with my phone :)

Hi Trkaa, thanks for your help, I am back to STOCK, relocked and S_ON, just sharing what I did so might help others:

" I was on hboot 1.18.xx with wrong S-ON and semi brick device, below is what I did to get back to Stock and S-ON"

1. Used htc dev unlock method and then using 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard

2. Installed custom rom Android Revolution HD 3.6.13, a 2.3.4 rom, can be downloaded from "http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one

3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF

4. RUU was not flashing so I did this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone

5. From "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]

6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),

7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back

8. Result , I am relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem

Trkaaa, thanks a lot :D Your guide really helped and thanks for helping me time to time via PM :), Really helpful for noobs
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
In theory, easiest method if you are below 1.27 would be:

1. Unlock via HTC

2. Flash firmware with 1.27 REVOLUTIONARY unlocked hboot (in theory, unlocking bootloader allows you to flash not signed PG58 file as long as CID and MID match and you are going "up"). Skip it if HTC unlock allows you to change to SuperCID.

3. SuperCID

4. Run an RUU with 1.17 hboot from fastboot

5. Run revo

Would be interesting if someone could test it.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
+1 , it should work. But I have some doubt in step 2. If someone tries and confirm it ...
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That's why I said "in theory". Hopefully, after unlocking via HTC dev, it doesn't check signatures, that should be enough to allow pg58 to run.

can u please tell me that how to relock the bootloader......i mean can u tell me full steps as i m new
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
go to fastboot usb , connect phone to PC , Start cmd as admin , navigate to the adb folder ( the folder that includes the fastboot.exe )

type fastboot oem lock

the bootloader will now display Relocked ( Not Locked )

how to get stock recovery on the phone ?

is it possible to apply an update.zip to replace the hboot ?

Hello !? Anybody alive in here :D
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
As suggested by tinky,

1. Flash firmware with 1.27 REVOLUTIONARY unlocked hboot (in theory, unlocking bootloader allows you to flash not signed PG58 file as long as CID and MID match and you are going "up"). Skip it if HTC unlock allows you to change to SuperCID.

2. SuperCID

3. Run an RUU with 1.17 hboot from fastboot

4. Run revo

Try it.
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Yes, thanks ...

Not able to flash anything ...
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
other members with your same case are using htc dev and fastboot commands , try uninstall htc sync , new htc drivers , install old htc druvers , run cmd as admin , disable non compatible software , use a PC with USB 2 ( not 3 ) , remove PG58IMG.zip from SD card Root , and if all that don't let you use fastbboot , then do factory reset from recovery or from Bootloader if you can't reach recovery

sorry , there is nothing new that i read for S-OFF for your case , maybe revolutionary could support ICS hboot later on !!

firmware 3.12 ( comes with Android 4.0.1 that includes hboot 1.23 ) was the Link between GB and ICS . In other word , it allows you either to downgrade to GB or Upgrade to higher ICS

Also it ( hboot 1.23 ) Allows you to install Custom Roms GB

with Sense 3.

5 , or Custom Roms Bases on ( Android 4.0.1 ) firmware 3.12 ( witthout doing downgrade or upgrade )

regarding the Boot loop , i guess you have 2 Alternatives :

to unlock bootloader , then install any of the 2 above Custom Rom Versions according to the Method in OP

( after using the above Alternative and flashing the Rom and it did not boot ) , maybe (

Not Sure , Do it at your own risk

) you can flash a GB RUU or 4.0.1 RUU , you can read also about Gold Card from RUU's ( Bootloader should be locked for Flashing RUU )

i recommend to stick with first Alternative , and do some trials for it

But

speaking for myself

i don't recommend flashing 4.0.3 RUU ( hboot 1.27 locked )

As for tinky1 and mussaraf suggestion , i actually need a clear mind to think it over , i have the same doubts about htc dev will allow Firmware Flash , because htc dev unlocks some boot loader options not all of them to preserve the stability of the software ( what is more important than Firmware to preserve !!!!!!! )

some members tried flashing firmware 1.17 with no success , Please note that firmware 1.17 includes the Eng Hboot ( 1.17.0008 ) , which is supported by Revolutionary for S-OFF

you might want to read this to know more about hboot in here 1227
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You tried it? Did HTC unlock allow you to flash pg58 or to SuperCID?
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Thank you. I will try to decipher what you have written and make sense of the useful bits :D
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Try that. Install htc ruu with 1.23 hboot, then unlock via HTC, then do them steps I mentioned. Iirc 3.12 base came with 1.23 hboot, but double check please.

if the file is online in dropbox but you need to wait for a slot , then you can use Jdownloader ( it keeps connecting until it does )

if not online , any Stock Rooted Rom 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ( there are some in XDA ) could work ( 2.3.5 will not work )

one member used ARHD v3.x and he reported Successful revolutionary S-OFF , so try it ,

Please note that ARHD v3 don't include Boot.img ( or it is there but i didn't see it , i looked quickly ) , if so skip flashing boot.img and try
