Giving it a shot now. I'll let you know shortly how it goes.

Update: Same result. All commands completed successfully, but I end up in the Google logo boot loop. Is there a kernel .img file that I should flash, in case my son tried to flash an unsupported kernel?

That included stock kernel.

Man you might just want to fastboot oem lock and send the phone. Those were factory images... if they don't work it means hw issues.
[Nexus S General] t1n0m3n:
I agree. If this does not work, send the phone back to Sprint.
[Nexus S General] davidboyd:
I really appreciate y'all trying to help. I will see if Sprint will be kind enough to exchange it. Thanks again.

Ok here's what I want lol my normal anti spy virus extra WITH USB lock so my phone can't be flashed and a cwm password is that so hard...... Core blimey

I'm currently using Lookout on my Galaxy S2, I dont think there is any with a usb lock function, Although lookout has some really good features if you want to pay for them.

I have Lookout free version. Pretty decent but I have yet to come across a virus.
[General Topics] MattyOnXperiaX10:
You can't get a virus on Android, windows or apple platforms

Ask us any Android Related Questions @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter (Even If You've Bricked)
[General Topics] Kaiokhen:
Unnecessary because the market remove any suspicious apps.

Maybe good for lost or stolen phone which they provide a good protection against that.
[General Topics] K0mic:
U don't need one :)
[General Topics] NicoJokr:
I agree its pretty secure but i do have one still :p
[General Topics] spacekermit:
If you want to be secure enough, I would recommend rooting your phone, then install something like Droidwall, LBE, and some other app like that.

That should really set you up just fine! :)
[General Topics] thebobp:
If mobile security is all you want, then keep your bootloader locked.
[General Topics] xujunhua:
as for this , you don;t worry about that ,there is little virus can cause your phone in troule

Mobile security isn't to much to worry about. but if you are still worried i suggest bitdefender.
[General Topics] Cryptography:
I am using lookout on my sensation 4g and it has nice features like others have said just no USB lock
[General Topics] kyleinkc:
Antivirus software

While I tend to agree that antivirus software for your phone probably isn't needed for software found in the markeplace, is there still a risk for those programs side-loaded from other sources? Maybe not. I personally don't see the potential threat as being big enough for me to use it on my phone. But, as already mentioned some security programs also offer additional features that are nice - ie finding your phone if it's lost.
[General Topics] carbonize:
Damn I see a lot of stupid/dangerous replies to this thread. Going to be really funny when these people download a malicious app from the marketplace/Play.

Just to clarify there are no viruses for mobile platforms but that's because a virus is defined as malicious code that can pass it's self on. What we do find is malicious code in apps which is classed as malware rather than a virus. And yes these do exist on the market despite what some of the people on here have said and yes they exist on both Andoird and iOS, not heard of any on Windows yet.
[General Topics] wvy:
You are the best antivirus. Just don't install suspicious apps from Google Play.

As title suggests i have lost my volume buttons...HTC Said i can send it in for repair but they dont sell the part.....Anyone bought another case and willing to sell the spare volume buttons??
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Come on guys I know some of you have bought a new case! unless you pulled the volume buttons off when doing the chrome frame mod you'll be fine
[HTC Sensation] wigwag:
just purchase another back on ebay, or have htc send you a new one.

[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
I have seen that thread but after speaking to htc they want me to send it for repair,Online live chatting atm will see what happens

---------------------UPDATE---------------------

Alex: Hi Sean, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.

Sean Mcardle: Hello and thanks

Sean Mcardle: hello?

Alex: Apologies Sean but the process is to send the phone and the cover for repair. They have to be sent in to be checked that they are in warranty to be swapped.

Sean Mcardle: Well i dont really want that, All i want is the volume buttons on the case! Can i not give you all the serial numbers? Sureley thats whats checked anyway?

Sean Mcardle: That'd be ANOTHER 7 days without my phone

Alex: We used to send out replacement back covers however they have just changed the process. We have now to book the device and the cover in for repair. I can try and escalate the matter if you like to see if we can send you a replacement button.

Alex: Sure. I'll try that first.

Sean Mcardle: Thankyou

Alex: Can I please take the SN?

Sean Mcardle: SH**********

Alex: Great, thank you. I'll raise an escalation and I'll let you know if it's been approved.

Sean Mcardle: Thanskyou will i be notified by email?

Alex: It will be via email, yes

Alex: On sean..........@gmail.com

Sean Mcardle: Thanks for your help Alex i look forward to my response.Have a good evening
[HTC Sensation] blkcliostu:
Thats a bugger mate, hopefully they will just you one out. Mine came in a bout 3days
[HTC Sensation] adri-skater8:
do you think they will send them to spain?
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
According to Alex in a phone call, Too many users took advantage of them sending out cases for small problems.Now they get them sent to repair to replace the broken part.Still waiting to hear from them
[HTC Sensation] igrind2:
I literally jus got a new case sent to me from htc for tha same reason not even a week ago
[HTC Sensation] sorehammer:
I got a new case of Htc last week for the volume buttons falling off they also said no I would have to buy a new back, then they sent me a link to customer feedback i left them negative feedback on every question then on the extra comments part i told them they were **** and would not be buying any more Htc products ever again, then a few days later they phoned me about the feedback i explained to them i thought the solution i was offered of spending £40 to buy a new back was unacceptable and they said ok we'll send you a new one in a week or so got it in less complain and ye shall prevail.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Yea i've been a pain in the ass on the phone to them saying ive owned many many HTC Devices, Still have a G1,Magic,Hero and desire and probably wont go for another HTC device if this is the build quality i am to expect.Also telling them that if i can make a volut of a matchstick i should have no problem fitting an OEM one!

As foir getting one a week ago, Are you USA? I think the trading standards laws differ slightly but i presume if i get them enough stick and abuse on Twitter and over the phone they will just get fed up land send one lol
[HTC Sensation] cmart4:
lost the volume buttons on my original case too. bought a oem sensation back cover for $20 on EBAY... perfect
[HTC Sensation] danielmid84:
Just go to your local wireless retailer and ask them to swap the back on a warranty return Sensation, that's what I did.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
No as easy as that in the UK.They are only obliged to replace defects within 30 days..

As it happens HTC must have got fed up with me moaning as i received my new case today :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
So, I'm going to wait until the official ICS update appears for my SII. (supposedly 19th of March)

However, I still want root without flashing a custom kernel. (not wanting to increment the custom flash counter)

My understanding is that if I update to the official ICS update then the usb jig becomes useless in resetting the counter. Is that correct?

The current method I used to root was via superoneclick, however.. that no longer works with ICS right?

If for example I wanted to reset the counter (if I did use a custom kernel for root) could I downgrade from the official ICS back to GB (using odin) and then use the usb jig to reset it?

NB. I use root for titaniumbackup, adaway and lbe privacy guard.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
About half of what you've written is incorrect, and you can find the correct information from a little bit of searching and reading.

FORUM RULES

1. Search before posting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
Huh, that's the second post I've seen of yours that is entirely unhelpful.

You can only do so much searching and this sub-forum is called "Q&A"...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xReal:
AFAIK you don't need to flash a GB Rom to make usb jig work you can just flash an old bootloader and usb jig should work like a charm after that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You got that response because this question is answered several times a day on here. And the answer can be easily found with a few minutes legwork. XReal is correct. You can flash the old bootloader & a jig will work. So it looks like you've got a bit of research/searching (to find said bootloader) to do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
Still, there was no need for it. A better response would have been to either choose not to respond or post with a link to a post answering the questions. XDA has been getting a very bad reputation because of posts like the above. (hell I've been a lurker on here for quite a while opting instead to read information and posts rather than posting because of the above)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Its getting a bad rep because people refuse to search and clog the forums up with already answered questions

There's even a sticky in general saying don't create ice threads...people still do it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
This is a development forum, not a spoonfeed n00bs & lazy people whatever they demand forum. And it certainly isn't a democracy. If people want to gain anything from their time here, they need to read & learn.

People who don't like that can go to Sammobile for all I (and a lot of people here) care.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
Sure, people are posting ICS threads in general. Sure, there are people who are a bit ignorant but nothing is achieved by being rude. If it's been said a million times then don't post, let the thread die rather or until a mod locks it.

As to the bad rep, yep.. it's definitely because of people saying "use search" or "noobs". If you like I'd be perfectly happy to provide some examples? (oops, can't post urls at the moment until I've hit 8 posts)

There is a level of people keeping up with information and using search. And people who don't keep a constant watch on threads. (hence my post, I can't say I'm too enthusiastic about trawling through endless posts.. I did a bit of reading and searching, wasn't 100% sure so I thought I'd post in a question and answer sub-forum)

Anyway, I've derailed my own thread enough. xReal gave me the confirmation I was after.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
its got nothing to do with that at all

Like i said, its because people refuse to search, refuse to read and refuse to educate themselves. Everyone just wants spoonfeeding.

Why do people insist on opening a new ICS thread when they could just ask their question in an existing thread? Theres plenty of them....it because people WONT search - they want the answer there and then like its something they deserve
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
To be fair, search is pretty bad unless you know the exact terms to search for. And reading through threads can often span a significant number pages. People see those gigantic threads and can only read so much before they become either frustrated or disillusioned.

Pretty often I've just resorted to using google site search because it gives better results than the inbuilt site search. This is a problem endemic of all large forums.

Of course there are poorly worded, poorly thought out posts where the person has not read or searched. But nothing is ever achieved by jumping up and down whilst screaming about noobs and demanding they use search. In less time than it took to post about noobs and using search a reply could have been formed linking to a thread with the answer or simply it could have been left to die with all the chaff posts.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
yep the search is bad on here, using google with XDA added in the search terms works fine though and provides 95% of required results

OR, if they read up themselves, they wouldnt have to wait for an answer or get flamed from other users...it works both ways.

The only reason you are seeing so many 'use the search function' posts is because these inane threads with questions that have already been asked ans answered pop up more now than any other kind of thread...put it this way....i no longer come to this forum to garner knowledge/info/mods/techniques or anything like that anymore, i just come here to see what other useless threads have been created and what the responses were to said thread...its becoming entertaining as well as frustrating (theres also a reason why a lot of oinkylicious' recent posts contain the copied pasted section from the forum rules:

1. Search before posting

If people aren't doing this, then they are breaking forum rules and should be given a 'vacation'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
Again, if people weren't so eager to be so rude this site would be much less frustrating for everyone involved. Case in point look at the tag added to this thread or oinkylicious' post. Not helpful to anyone in the least.

If someone can't contribute to a thread in a useful manner then don't post. The post rate is of a relatively high ratio that it'll quickly disappear into the ether.

And again, people can only do so much searching and reading. As you yourself said the site search is pretty bad and posts can often span a significant number of pages making reading up nigh on impossible unless you spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over everything. You can't expect people to know everything.

I promised an example url earlier. Since I'm still not at 8 posts, I'll post it without the "http://" and hope the filter doesn't pick it out: pay.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/pse0m/rant_about_xda_short_and_angry_but_bear_with_me/

There is one heck of a lot of valid criticism in there.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Bunch of whiny users in that link you posted. And the important word here is 'users'.

You, like a lot of people are clearly under the misapprehension that XDA is a users forum. It is not. It is a development forum where users are tolerated provided certain 'rules' are adhered to by said users.

On XDA, developers come first, second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh. People who are prepared to read, learn and put in a bit of effort beyond searching for 20 seconds & throwing their hands in the air because they can't find something come sixth. And people who demand everything to be given to them on a silver platter don't figure into the equation whatsoever.

And your criticisms are completely invalid in the case of the question you asked, the answer is easily found in a minute in spite of XDA's crappy search facility (anyone who has been here more than 5 minutes knows to use Google with XDA appended to search terms). Why ? Because it's asked on here several times a day.

You can keep on digging a hole for yourself if you want tho.

Edit to add - Looks like it's your lucky day that I have fat fingers :-|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvilMonkeySlayer:
If you can't address the points and complain about "whiny users" and so forth then why are you replying?

If this site was dedicated to purely developers then there would be a number of things for said developers. Namely things like an instance of bugzilla or other software for bug tracking and git (or something else like cvs *spit*) repositories for development to ensure versions and code submitting are kept on top of.

The fact that there are Q&A, Accessories etc sub-forums rather than just forums for development only counters your assertion.

Honestly, who is digging the hole? The ones who use Ad hominems and fail to address a single point or the ones raising the criticism?

You keep replying, so surely something I'm saying is quite valid.

[HTC Rezound] kappen:
So I managed to shatter the glass on my rezound....go me. I was wondering if anybody here has replaced the screen on the rezound and how hard it is to do. I didn't find a lot of rezound tear down info out there. I do a lot of laptop work and it seems like simular construction techniques. the only thing that has me a bit concerned is the whole adhesive issue. Using a heat gun to get the old screen off and I guess the new one will either adhere to the old adhesive or I need to find a source??

Anyway they appear to be 50 dollars for the part versus 100-150 to send the phone off to have someone else do it. Any thoughts???
[HTC Rezound] Xsoldier2000:
While I haven't done the rezound yet, I have done a few others, the most recent being a Droid X. I ordered the 'official' advesive on the first phone screen repair I did but never again. It was hard to deal with...if you don't get it right perfectly the first time... you're done. I went with a 3M double sided foam tape after that and was SO much easir to deal with. Never had a screen pop off and anything like that. My wife is still using that phone as we speak.

Next biggest thing to watch out for is tearing those damn thin cables.... they tear so easy...seriously, do not use any sort of tension on those cables. One little tear could out your camera, or soft keys... or even portions of your digitizer. Such a pain in the ass.

Take care while dis & re assemb ling it, you should be fine. It's a lot more delicate than a laptop, so be careful.
[HTC Rezound] syikho:
I have never replaced the screen on my Rezound, but I have done a few other phones. My wife dropped her Dinc and broke the screen, then the digitizer went out on my OG DROID. If the Rezound is built like the Dinc then you will be golden. Took only about 20 minutes. But as stated above you MUST be very careful when disassembling the phone. The micro ribbons are a little forgiving but are pretty delicate.

Good luck though and let us know how it works out for you.
[HTC Rezound] kappen:
Well I opted to get it replaced mainly because I found a local place that could do it and had the part in stock. However the one they installed has clear buttons instead of red, which I like more but I think its best to stay with the way it is suppose to look. Also there is a small black line that they think might be a smug. They are looking for a screen with the factory red buttons. The question I have is I noticed this digitizer registers 4 points and I thought the rezound did 5 can someone verify how many points of touch its suppose to recognize?

Everytime my phone is rebooted or crashes after days of use without reboot, some apps for sure will be removed randomly. Specially new ones. Apps which hav been there for long stays.

IM+ lite is a must to be removed everytime.

Recently zedge which has been there for long time just got removed.

Android seems like a mess, apps which get removed, their data stays, n I manually uninstall all of them, n then do a corps cleanup with sd maid. Bt after a reboot, all of the data comes back n I have to uninstall them again.

Its being a very big problem. I cant restart my phone without loosing some apps n data. Please help. I hope ICS has a better app structure, n im willing to do a fresh start there... But I must be able to transfer my "EasyMoney" data to the new rom. It has all my money tranctions.

Plz help, thanks alot...
