After you flashed the 3.24 firmware (HBOOT 1.27.xxxx) did you remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the SDcard, if not it'll bootloop. You can also just pop the SDcard out when you reboot then use a file manager on the phone to remove/rename.
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
....

Thks but i already notice that
[HTC Sensation] real187:
are you stil in bootloop?

have you tried booting without the sd card.

i see you relocked the bootloader, tried the voda ruu in the bootloader?

(you know the stock recovery isnt a advanced menu or something)

what have you tried yet.?

can you make any vids of the bootloop, and trying to get in stock recovery?

ik think you should first try to get the phone running, before atempting to

permroot/ unlock hboot / recovery or anything.

maybe its really a hardware failure of some of the bits of the flashmemory that corrupts some of the data.

get it to a htc repair shop for warranty and let them fix it, they most likley wont trouble for the s-off part (here they sometimes charge 40e if ther is a custom rom on it)
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
You have to flash the 1.17 ENG S-OFF hboot and then directly run the RUU.exe (or flash the extracted rom.zip as PG58IMG.zip) appropriate for your phone, nothing else.

Once you are back unrooted you can start over.

Worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Whoa, so many good suggestions. Hard to believe that none of it worked, but s**t happens.

Start over. Forget about what you've done so far.

Please state your current sw and fw.

State your original RUU

State what are you trying to achieve.
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
So here the state of where am i :

I try the method above : HBOOT 1.17 ENG S-OFF + flash RUU

After flash of the HBOOT 1.17 my Hboot says : 1.17.2008 (PG58****)

Who i read is the Engineer version of the 1.17 HBOOT.

I'm now going to flash with the PG58IMG.zip method, the Following Ruu :

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.24.163.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190763_signed

I think it's the Ruu my phone comme with.

I almost try everything in XDA thanks to trkaaa who send me some others method from PM.

He wrote a good thread about weird S-ON here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469296

I Thanks all of you for real and in Xda. :)
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
i try the method of

SanityPreservation

and if it failed i will answer to your Question ;)
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
so hboot 1.17 + Ruu failed --> no Boot No recovery

1- Please state your current sw and fw.

Hboot1.17.006 & sw ?

2-State your original RUU

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.23.163.1_Radio_10.38.9007.00P_10.11.9007.06_M3_release_190415_signed

3-State what are you trying to achieve

install and boot into any recovery or maybe if God want it boot into some Android OS. in fact i just want to boot something else than HBOOT......:D
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Have you installed a recovery ? On my phone so can't check for an appropriate thread.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
What happens when you run ruu?

Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
the Ruu install fine no error message. and then no stock recovery instal no boot
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
So you said RUU installed fine and so: IS / IS NOT working ?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Just flash RUU and send it back to HTC. Phone is not a year old, so they should fix it.

If you are doing what you are saying and getting this results, then your phone is buggered. Unless, you just miss something out.

Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
[HTC Sensation] toowave:
install fine then --> NO recovery, NO Boot

just the Hboot version change
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Technically, you don't have one, if you can boot the phone and it runs. You need to root, s off and the like if you want a custom recovery. Please read the stickies in the development section.

sorry i am late , i haven't slept for two days until last evening

you way in answer is very good , we use it always , answer in the same place of my pm to you

Boot.img contains 2 parts ( ramdisk , and kernel )

what is happening with you is very strange , specially you are s-off !!!!!!!

instead of doing trial and error , we think good and choose an aproach , i need to start over

tinky1

Just flash RUU and send it back to HTC. Phone is not a year old, so they should fix it.​

he is S-OFF

Original Rom

before first s-off , what was your original hboot ? 1.17 or 1.18 ?

what was your Android version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4

is your phone branded , means you bought it from Vodafone France with a plan ? ie your original cid

first boot loop

what is your operating system ( windows , mac, linux ) if windows what version

when you installed Elegancia , how long it stayed working ? an hour a day before you restart with the cable attached

did it rebooted during that time normally before you attached the cable and have the boot loop

did the computer boot to windows with your phone attached or stoped at DOS screen and not booted

the french RUU

why you choose it ? what is the Android Version of it 2.3.3 or 2.3.4

note that 1.45.401.2 is a famous version ( we will see )

Need to know Revolutionary

use old htc drivers and start revolutionary , before you make any input revolutionary at first displays your software version ( 2.3.4 or android 4. ) , write to me what is in this line to compare it with your android version in about phone

revolutionary reads the version in boot.img ,and about phone reads the version of the RUU or Rom , they should match

for a case i solved for wrong S-on revolutionary read ICS 4 and the RUU reads 2.3.4 and i corrected that

i susspect the following

it maybe related to SD card had some wrong info after the PC or laptop tried to boot from it , and that wrong info on sd card is doing that

or PC now has some wrong info about your device and that is preventing executing fastboot commands

i Suggest

keep your sd card safe and use another different sd card ( better ) .

or backup all system files on sd card ( not video and mp3 ) and format it on another phone ( add ext4 partition ) or just for ruu don't add ext4 partition

in the same time use another PC or install a clean operating system with a clean SD Card ,and try

you Answer

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You can go to bootloader right?

Post the bootloader details here
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hi,

I experienced the same issue but it was due to the boot partition corruption. Isn't that true about yours?

Do a factory reset from the bootloader then flash a healthy and well-working boot.img of a kernel over adb, then see how it goes. Although seems a bit more complicated, but mine was so.

I can't perform factory reset from fastboot - the phone is bootlooping, trying to enter recovery

I don't know if I should try to UnBrick according to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23078349

P.S. The bootloader is unlocked
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Relock the bootloader

Command is

fastboot oem lock

Then flash appropriate RUU

The phone should boot up after this
[HTC Sensation] georgiadiy:
I have already tried most of procedures suggested in this thread

Nothing helped

Rru is working well but stillbbootlooping

Can't boot to recovery nor stock neither custom
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
See if you flash RUU without re locking the bootloader.. It is very much possible that recovery partition is left empty and thus you will have reboot to bootloader when you try to go to recovery.

That's why re locking the bootloader is important part for proper flash of ruu.. Then once you have stock recovery working proper to can go custom room root again
[HTC Sensation] georgiadiy:
It's understood.

While playing with rru and zipped stock my bootloader was relocked, but no luck
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ok then we'll do another experiment

..now you have unlocked bootloader right ?

get a 4EXT recovery.img file (step #2 in "flashing roms with SON guide" by asskickar in sensation general section ). copy it to your adb/fastboot folder of your PC/laptop/notebook

now connect the phone from bootlaoder to PC and type this command

fastboot boot recovery.img (assuming the recovery image name is "recovery.img")

if you were able to boot to the 4EXT recovery ..flash a custom rom from there ..then go back to bootloader and then flash boot.img of the rom separately
[HTC Sensation] georgiadiy:
This idea was really great but didn't work - bootloop without entering recovery

I think I have to go to HTC service... :confused:

Guys, I just wanted to know why the 'radio...' string is absent in my bootloader screen?

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
haven't worked ? hmm

btw when you unlock the bootloader the radio string wot be visible in bootloader screen.

i would suggest you to try the relock + flash RUU (the exe way not the zip way ) once again ..if not working then ..something hardware/firmware level got corrupted and service center is the only solution
[HTC Sensation] georgiadiy:
Thank you very much for your assistance.

I've tried already for a few times these procedures.

Does anyone know from experience if the VZW extended battery and cover will work with the case listed in the link above

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
Look in the accessories forum. There is a case wiki thread that lists several.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Probably not. Those hard shell cases are usually a tight fit anyway. You can however use the standard battery cover with the extended battery (although a tight fit) it will make some cases fit better but you normally will still have a gap at the bottom (small).

You can also run without a back battery cover. This typically will allow most standard cases to fit perfectly. So you have some options, but I doubt it will work with the extended battery + extended door.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arcsum68:
It will work without the back cover, I think I read that on one of the reviews for the case on VZ's site.

Okay so I just got my gn from amazon and I was wondering if there is any way to get insurance for this device. I'm coming from a tmo gs2 and I accidentally dropped it less than 2 weeks of owning it n it got a few dents around the edges. With that in mind I can't stop thinking about a bunch of "what if's" that might happen. Lol I love everything about this phone but I don't want to end up damaging this phone too cuz we all know **** happens.lol I'm already going to buy a case. But screens can still get cracked if it lands a certain way. Not only that. What if the phone malfunctions .would I be able to atleast send for repairs even if I can't get insurance? hopefully I didn't make a bad decision. Or would it be better if i just got the verizon one instead. At first i would've gotten the verizon one but cancelling my contract with tmo, paying the deposit fee and then buying the phone was turning out to be more expensive than just buying the gsm phone. But at the end of the day if I do have issues with this one I have now. That would be money down the drain instead of being able to get it replaced if I were with Verizon...right? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DaCor1:
Your options are go without any insurance, get phone insurance or do what I did, put it on my home insurance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidsrus:
Damn I just realized I posted in the wrong section. Smh

I forgot to mention. I live in the US and I have t mobile. From the little help i have gotten from searches online about the insurance. I'm getting the vibe that since the phone is not released out here I have no way to get insurance? Which leads me to the other question I had, if there's a way to send for repairs if the phone breaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Birdsfan:
I am also with TMobile and because you didn't get the phone from them the insurance they offer will not apply. Not sure about the homeowners insurance, worth a phone call to your agent but usually the deductibles on H/O is $500+ so that's kind of a wash.

I purchased my phone from Expansys and according to them if there is a problem (warranty) they will support what the manufacturer offers.

Good luck and be careful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greensnow:
If you search a little bit you will see a thread I started on which company will and will not cover these imported phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidsrus:
Excuse me for my blindness lol but can direct me to the thread please. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Just get a case and screen protector. Only insurance most people need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidsrus:
Hey. Thanks a lot for the info. I went ahead n checked thru ur threads and found it. I contacted ensquared through a message asking if they covered the galaxy nexus GSM model and they called me back in less than 10 minutes and the person over the phone told me they do insure it and it doesn't matter what carrier I have or if the phone is unlocked. I asked twice to make sure cuz it sounded to good to be true n he confirmed that they do cover the phone. I feel so much better now. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I'm going to give them a call now myself. It was never really resolved in the other thread mentioned although I think the two should be merged for informational purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SBA1226:
You should be able to get it covered through squaretrade. It'll cost you probably around $100 or so but I've heard good things about their service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greensnow:
squaretrade will NOT cover this phone. It says so in the fine print on their website and a user here found out the hard way.

To the OP - glad I could help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonejunkie30:
squaretrade does cover this phone i have the insurance myself i paid 69.00 for one year coverage and i pay a 99.00 ded thats it not sure what the other person did but the covered mine i have it in writing and when i log in on there page it says galaxy nexus covered one year.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iandol:
Hi,

I have I assume is a very specific question. Cyanogenmod 7.2 has vim (and nano) installed, but when i use vim, the full size of my terminal is unused, and the cursor position and what is displayed become asynchronous. I have tried setting TERM=linux and TERM=xterm (I'm using OS X terminal which emulates an xterm), but neither get me a working vim. vi, which is part of busybox works fine. nano also fails to use the height of my terminal window, and additionally the enter key is broken.

Does anyone know of any fixes, config to get a working vim using android?

Thanks in advance for any info! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iandol:
Findin' ma size...

To answer my own question for the benefit of others:

So, it seems at least Cyanogemnod7.2 Bash does not correctly receive the size of the terminal window from its host (use "stty -a" to check):

[16:44 localhost]-1 /
-> stty -a
speed 38400 baud;stty: standard input: No such file or directory...

And therefore Vim is unable to correctly set its columns and lines. The solution is simple, you have to force the terminal session to reread the window dimensions:

[16:45 localhost]-1 /
-> resize
[16:45 localhost]-1 /
-> stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 63; columns 107; line = 2;

I add "resize" to the bottom of my .bashrc file to do this automatically. Note if you are in Vim and resize your window, you need to force rereading the new dimensions, the vim command ":!resize" will do this.

So here is some d-bag trying to make a profit off the hard work of the people here and on other dev sites. He is asking for $250 for the Fire.

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/ele/2845733190.html

-----------------------

I am selling a Kindle Fire with Android 4.0.3 on it. It works wonderfully and is in great shape. It has only been opened to be rooted and have android installed on it. The special recovery software is installed as well incase you try to change anything in the future and it messes it up, all youll have to do is restore it, and your back to the Kindle Fire operating system. It is basically a fully functional tablet like all the others without the camera or bluetooth. Youtube, gmail, bookmarks, google, the browser, android marketplace, and all the widgets work perfectly as if it came out of the box this way. That is the reason I am selling it for over $200, because it has so much more to offer rather than the standard Kindle Fire. If your interested, you can call or text me 651-500-5554. I would be willing to walk you through how to work it all and how to recover it incase you ever have a problem. I would also be willing to trade it for a HP Touchpad.

Keywords: Kindle, Kindle Fire, Android, 4.0, Asus, Transformer, Samsung, Galaxy, Motorola, Blackberry, Nook, Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Kindle Keyboard, 3G, Wi-fi, 3.2, Honeycomb, ICS, Ice Cream Sandwich, Froyo

-----------------------

If you're a dev for the Fire or you support the community, feel free to give this a-hole a call and let him know what you think!
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
What's so wrong about this...? Is there something I'm not getting here?
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
He is:

1. Selling the kindle more than you buy it for.

2. Illegally distributing the work of our developers.

Basically, it's just wrong. I would understand selling your services, but a kindle fire running ics is NOT worth 250...
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
I guess. I didn't know distributing software on a device you're selling was illegal. But I can definitely understand the not worth $250 thing.
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
If I were to ever sell mine I would ask more than you could buy a new one for because I put a lot of time into making it work as smooth as it does.

Nothing illegal about that it is just finding someone who is too lazy to do it themselves and making a few bucks.
[Kindle Fire General] ksnax:
There is NOTHING wrong with asking for more for a custom ROM'd device. Many people understand the shortcomings of the stock ROM, but are too hesitant to ever try a custom flash for fear of bricking it or whatever. An extra $50 for the competent efforts (which is the value added feature here) is probably a reasonable price to charge.

I wouldn't pay it because I'm comfortable with the process, but I've also invested considerable time just learning about the process myself before ever attempting a ROM flash.

He is selling his service of having put it onto the device.
[Kindle Fire General] interceptor_1972:
Honestly, a person is allowed to ask what they want for the item they're selling. If I don't agree with the price being asked, I negotiate a price I'm comfortable with or move on. Doesn't make that person a con. As for making a buck off developers work, that's the drawback of an open source software - akin to someone selling a PC with Linux on it. Just my 2 cents. But I agree - I wouldn't pay that for the kindle fire personally when you can get one for $199 and do the work yourself.
[Kindle Fire General] ArcticFox:
1. How is that wrong? If the person buying it is willing to pay $250 where is the harm?

2. Illegal????? Android is open source people can freely distribute it.
[Kindle Fire General] dcaplinger76:
Then don't buy it......
[Kindle Fire General] IRIE4IPIER:
Exactly what I was gonna say. I charge people 40-60 bucks on Craigslist to root, and place a custom ROM on their device. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what he is doing and I would venture to say that the OP is just jealous. Lol.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Nah, not jealous as I could easily do what he is doing. So your ventured guess is completely wrong.

I guess perhaps I'm the only one then who has a problem with someone abusing that hard work devs put into doing these hacks and custom roms for us by charging money and misrepresenting what they are selling...like this a-hole doesn't say that video doesn't work very well, that it is an alpha build of ICS, etc.

I'm stunned how many on here "support" this type of behavior. My faith in humanity just continues to go downhill...morals...ethics...decency...who needs that ****? Oh well...
[Kindle Fire General] ArcticFox:
So because we don't agree with you, we are automatically siding with the person selling the tablet????

Hes not selling the software, hes selling the tablet that hes rooted, flashed, etc.. hence the higher price. Hes not doing anything illegal.

If i didnt know anything about rooting, flashing, etc.. I would look for one that was pre-flashed to save me the hassle of possibly bricking the tablet in the process, its not so black and white as you think it is.

If he was just selling the firmware and the tools to do it then he would be 100% in the wrong.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Actually you are making it black and white with only an understanding that if it is not illegal then it is perfectly okay and if it is illegal then there is a problem. If anything, I'm viewing it in the shades of gray by saying that, while not illegal, it is reprehensible.

Anyway, like I said...forget I posted this. It appears I am "in the wrong" with the majority and I should never have even considered that others might also have a problem with it. Silly me...I will proceed to clean the egg off my face.
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
Perhaps illegal was the wrong choice of words. how about immoral. I understand that some people can not install custom roms on their own, but i do not believe that installing a rom is worth $50. That's just my two cents.
[Kindle Fire General] Xandralia:
Well I don't think it's worth $50 because I can do it myself for free. And part of the fun is hacking into it and customizing it the way you want it.

However, if I knew nothing about this stuff (and lets face it, the average user doesn't) then I would say $50 is about right.

Look at it this way. He is not selling the ROM or software, he is selling his services. If he put up an ad offering to root and install a custom ROM on the KF for $50, would that be a problem?

I don't think so.
