I can`t flash any recovery normally, I fear I messed up the cache\recovery seriously .

First I tried to flash ICS OTA – didn’t work, I was revolutionary S-off, after a few times I gave up (rebooting successful by reason: oem).

I re-flashed the RUU, and it went back to Pyrmid S-on. I`ve unlocked the bootloader HTC way.

Then tried to flash CWM, but I got some sort of error. Then I`ve installed "Android Recovery Manager". Tried to flash CWM through it, but ergh – it hangs on "waiting for device"

I tried to fastboot devices & fastboot getvar cid and got corret results, but when i`ve tried to change to superCid – I got this message:

C:\adb>fastboot oem writecid 11111111

... INFOvreg_set: request is duplicated id 14

INFO pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok

INFO[JAVACARD_ERR] SMART_IO.CRD cann't find

OKAY [ 1.076s]

finished. total time: 1.076s​

so, I realized something went terribly wrong somewhere.

I`m looking for a "fresh start" – is there any complete clone of the recovery file system? Or any other way to flash a complete recovery file system (odin ?!)

Please help.

specs:

sensation xe

Cid htc__001, Mid

recovery: android system recovery <3e> (with error message "can't open /cache/recovery/command)

Hboot: "unloacked", 1.18, S-on (yes, S-on)
[HTC Sensation] tingtan:
If I am not mistaken, you need S-Off to flash recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
You are correct sir.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
He does have s-off he said he unlocked it the htc way so it might be something else..

Run ruu and start over

Ruu will not put s on

Hi thanks for trying.

well revolutionary hangs on waiting for device.

any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:

[HTC Sensation] yonirapa:

[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Don't apply s on, you need to run the correct ruu.for your cid.

Flashing RUU does not make you s on. If you're s on you had to make it that way.

Bad news is you can't run RUU with s on.

I'm having some trouble with an Evo I purchased from a friend. I knew it bootlooped before I purchased it. He has not used it in a long time and it looks like new.

Known Device details:

NOT ROOTED.

Symptoms:

Device will turn on and have the white HTC evo 4g screen, but will then power off and power back into the HTC evo 4g screen repeatedly.

Holding down and power boots into bootloader no problem.

GOAL:

To fix this device without upgrading the Hboot so that I may have s-off and root via revolutionary.

Any suggestions here?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Download this file and run it from a windows computer:

http://tinyw.in/wGfq

It should flash your phone back to factory stock and keep the 2.16 hboot. Even if you were to get 2.18, it can be unlocked and rooted anyway. If you don't like that file, go to http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu and pick your favorite one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Action B:
Thanks for your response, however my problem was actually fixed by wiping the data through the bootloader. Then I rooted via revolutionary so it.was actually really easy, hopefully someone else can benefit from this thread. I didn't think a data wipe would fix it but hey, I'm not complaining.

boot loop

I have had the boot looping issue for a few months now... could not access internet or gps without the phone rebooting. It had to be some sort of heat issue, because I did get the damn thing to work by turning my car's AC on high and holding my phone in front of the vent so I could use the gps long enough to tell the Road Rangers where the hell I was with a flat tire. I brought it in to a Sprint service center and they replaced it (just got it today) with a refurb no questions asked. IMO, If your phone has the same issue, no amount of wiping and recovery will fix it. I tried 6 different roms, unrooted and returned to stock, and still had the same issue as soon as the phone started to hit the 3g data network. Working on getting root back now on the replacement.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
Hello Guys,

i just tried to install ICS. I did everything right, the big problem was, i moved the CWM backup to my pc ... i don´t know why :-/

I formated my device and tried to install the ROM. The next problem is, it doesn´t install. Everytimes I start the install process, it shows up an error "Status 7" in CWM.

Now i´m not able to backup my device, can´t connect to it via USB and can´t install ICS.

Is there any chance to repair my GS2? Is there any tool that is able to connect to it´s USB storage in download mode? I mean, Odin is able to connect and write data, why no other tool?

Thank you alot!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
Are you able to boot still in cwm recovery?

If yes, then copy youre backup on a sd card and try to recover it.

Which version of ICS you wanted to flash?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Status 7 usually means you're trying to flash something meant for another device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:

The problem is... I don´t have a MicroSD. And i don´t have a card reader, too...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Let's start with the basics. What model phone do you have? (label under battery) Because that link is for an i777 ROM, and this thread is currently in the i9100 forums.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
Then try to borrow a MicroSD Card and a card reader from someone.

I think it's the easiest way.

My model is the i9100, unbranded. Damn... it´s mentioned nowhere, is it?

Do you know any ICS (as stable as possible) for i9100?

Thank you guys :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
What's "mentioned nowhere"? That the ROM you installed is for the i777? Sure it is. By sheer fact that the ROM is actually in the i777 forums, and NOT in the i9100 forums.

EDIT: whoops, accidentally thanked your first post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
Hello again.

I just got my SD card. I packed the backup in "ClockworkMod\", but i think this is the wrong folder.

What´s the problem? It´s a GSII Version of ICS... why comes this message?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Since you tried to install an i777 ROM, your build.prop may have the model specified for that phone instead now, instead of for the i9100. Check that.

If I'm right, you can either fix that yourself if you have root, or re-flash a stock i9100 firmware first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
Damn :-/ Yes my phone is rooted. But what helps me this? My phone is bricked at the moment. The only access is the external SD...

Can i also fix it by appling a backup? Where do i have to place the backup so CWM detects it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Can you reboot to recovery, plug it into your computer via usb, and start an adb shell? If so, you can try pulling build.prop to your computer, editing it, and pushing it back.

Yes, this may also work. You can put it in your external SD under clockworkmod/backup, but you'll have to mount your external SD when in recovery mode before it will be visible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
I put the folder "2012-04-01.20.34.24" into "\Clockwordmod\backup\2012...".

In Recovery Mode i don´t have to mount the sd card. Its already mounted.

But always i select "Restore" it shows "No files found." :-/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
A workaround worth a try do a nandroid backup then locate the CWM backup folder and copy your old backup in that .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Or, mount usb storage in recovery, and that will give you access to your internal sd. Then you can copy the back up to /clockworkmod/backup, and it will see it.

How should this work? http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/NANDROID_Backup "Alt + B"? Since when has a handy such keys...? Or misunderstood I this?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That page is likely deprecated with information from phones with hardware keyboards, like the G1, or the Droid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
Which keys have i to press then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You navigate the menus. Apparently you already did this at least once, since you have a back up already?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRASZIIER:
Yes i have one.

But how can i backup from the external sd? This must work, otherwise my phone is really bricked :(

EDIT: Wohooo!! It´s restoring :) Yay! I just found a tutorial where i downloaded a CF-Kernel with CWM 5.

I flashed the kernel with ODIN and the new version of CWM found my backup :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerome.d:
Hi all,

From what I understand, non-wipe ROM do not flash the /data partition, where all user's app are. However, in ICS some core/system apps are put in this partition (swype, polaris, etc.).

Coming from GB, when I first flashed a wipe version of ICS I saw the screen at boot where it said these apps were installing. However, when I flashed my second, non-wipe ICS ROM yesterday (LP3), I did not see such a screen. Of course, I did not flash /data then.

I am therefore wondering if non-wipe versions of ICS do not let us with "old" versions of the apps installed in /data. When flashing such a non-wipe ROM (and do not changing the /data partition), do we also get the latest apps that should install, during a wipe flash, on /data?

For information, I first flashed LPH and, yesterday, I flashed LP3. Here are some of my current app versions:

Swype: 3.26.92.38235

Polaris: 3.0.3120.3

Picture editor: 1.0

yes, your /data gets updated, like it would normally do, it just doesn't delete anything.

My daughter just updated her sensation xe and now every time we restart the phone it goes thru a software updating thing.

She only has wifi and has it on att in the usa.

Should we factory reset or will this stop doing that updating overtime its restarted.
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
That's normal behavior for ICS.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Didn't get my ICS yet.. I'm on T-mo....

But, something does not feel right here..

Since it updated, it has to say "Your phone is upto date" When you press check for HTC update.

Otherwise you have to elaborate on your statement... Hope that people with updated phones will leave some info.

No..no.. It can't be right........
[HTC Sensation] carhigh:
It does say software is up to date. Just when restarting it was saying software is being optimized every restart. Factory reset it and its not doing it anymore.
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
Yes when you do a factory reset it won't do it since you don't have any apps anymore, but install your programs and it will do the "optimized" thing again. Even the Samsung Nexus does this, I already researched on this since it was driving me crazy too after updating to ICS. It is normal behavior for ICS. Try searching Google or the Nexus section of the forum.
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
The Optimizing Applications dialog you are seeing is Android creating the Dalvik-cache for the device. It is, as it implies, an optimization for your applications, so they run more efficiently on your device's specific Dalvik Runtime Virtual Machine. There is nothing wrong with it, and it is supposed to happen. The only reason you never see it in older versions of Android is because it is hidden from the user. The boot up just takes longer, but it is doing the exact same thing behind the scenes. Every time system files are changed, the Dalvik-cache for those changed programs must be reinitialized.
[HTC Sensation] carhigh:
Yes thank you. Its doing it every boot.

Hi all,

joansl posted a modded version of the HTC IME version quite a while back which worked perfectly with froyo and GB. It is by far the best keyboard I've ever used. It's quick and efficient. I even used it on my sensation (although it didn't fit the screen right) when running GB.

I upgraded to ICS this morning and now this keyboard crashes every time I choose another word from the prediction list. Is there any fix or way to get this to run smoothly on ICS? I can post the original apk I have if needs be.

I hope there is something that can be done. This keyboard would be a great asset to any HTC user!
[HTC Sensation] gherkin12:
Evening guys,

I would have posted this in the relevant thread within the Dev section but I'm not allowed. I also did a search within the thread but didn't come back with the result i was after.

Basically I've been running ARHD for a while now but fancy something different to play with. Fancied the above and almost installed it until it read you require Clockwork Mod to install, however it hasn't been tested on other recoveries. My question is can it be installed using EXT4 Recovery?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
I'd say so, I can't see why it wouldn't work as 4EXT is quite universal, if you have problems with touch, just use classic, if it doesntwork, just flash CWM for the rom flash.
[HTC Sensation] XaQi 101:
I have installed ARHD using 4EXT, and doesn't have problem. 4EXT work just fine like CWM. It just build by different person with thought compatible with CWM. :)
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
All ROMs are compatible with 4ext Recovery. I have tried Inquisition, and I used 4ext Touch. In fact, there are some ROMs that won't even flash properly on CWM that will on 4ext. If you ever decide to ditch Sense completely, check out Vorbeth's OpenSensation CyanogenMod 9 ROM...it is almost near completion.
[HTC Sensation] RGunturi:
I am on VI and I use 4EXT. So I can assure you that it works.
[HTC Sensation] Ov3rbyte:
I'm also using VI and I use EXT, just make sure you use a kernal of 3.32 or higher or it won't work I think.
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
It's the firmware that matters, not just the kernel. The kernel typically comes with the ROM. You must flash an ICS firmware file in the process of upgrading to ICS, if you haven't done so already. There are tons of resources on how to do that around here.
[HTC Sensation] gherkin12:
Was tempted for CM9 (used CM with my Hero) however as it was still in the Beta stage I thought I'd hang back on that for the time being as I use my phone a fair bit during the day it would need to be reliable:)
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
Everything is working on Vorbeth's build except for a handful of stuff that most people don't need. Bluetooth, Camera, WiFi, Camcorder, everything works. He's done an amazing job thus far

[HTC Sensation] gherkin12:
Rather than start a new thread, I was just wondering if people who use VI have issues with Battery and data drain. With ARHD I could get a good couple of days out the battery but with VI I don't seem to last a day.

Also with Data I seem to be racking up the amount that is used (not going near my monthly limit yet), and I'm using the same Apps as I was the ARHD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
I'm sure this has been asked a bunch of times, but I don't know what this screen is called, therefore I can't search for a solution.

When I first looked at my phone (used) before I bought it, it didn't do this. And then I brought it to the Verizon store to get a new SIM card. The salesperson reset the phone for me. The battery died on the way home while I was using it and it shut down. Now, every time I turn on the phone it shows this screen. If I pull the battery and boot into upgrade mode (volume down + power) it will boot, but it resets data (all of my stuff is gone). It will do this every time. I suspect the file system has become corrupted due to the improper shut down.

So, how can I solve this? Do I need to reflash everything through Odin, or can I sort of just push /system and /data to it via adb? I'd like to stick with stock ICS for now.

I'm coming from a Samsung Fascinate. I've owned a Galaxy Nexus before, but only for a few weeks. I have quite a bit of experience with all of this stuff, so any basic info should be easy for me to understand. I just don't know what this screen is and why it's appearing.

EDIT: It would probably help if I posted the photo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Its the stock Recovery screen. I would just do a fresh install using Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
That's the stock recovery screen? Funny.. I've never seen it. I've seen fastboot a bunch of times, and Clockwork recovery (and other recoveries) but I assumed that was some kind of looping loading screen or something.

I'm resetting it to stock through the terminal, pushing everything in fastboot. I want the OTA 4.0.4 update. I should be able to get that with the stock ROM and OEM locked bootloader right?

Thanks for telling me what that screen was. I had no idea.

EDIT: Oh, I was also wondering if the improper shutdown caused this problem, or if something could be wrong with the device that I should be worried about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
If you can get into fastboot and recovery then you don't have any serious problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmattp:
Thanks. After returning to stock, everything seems fine. I guess the battery dying borked something. I hope this doesn't happen every time the battery dies. (I don't plan on letting it die... but in the event that it does, it will suck)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
It must've been something else, I've had the battery die a few times, its booted up fine. Glad you fixed it.
