[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Yeah, if you had a sensor problem before the root and it persists after, it is more then likely a hardware issue and no amount of rooting/flashing a new ROM is gonna fix it. If you're under warranty, unroot and send it back for a replacement.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Did you look in setting for rotation display settings. Some launchers like adw launcher lets you also check and uncheck rotation angles. All roms are great in their own way, try a few on for size but I would give them each at least a week or two of testing. A day or two is not really enough to get the feel of them. You can try Absolution 3.7 , Redemption Alpha 6 (ICS) , or even go over to the Desire HD Dev section and try out - Ice Cold Sandwich 7.2 (ICS) (also dont forget to flash inspirmod as well with this one). Also these three will get rid of the stock look.

Good Luck
[HTC Inspire 4G] fishline:
The phone was bought off craigslist, so no hope of return or warranty. Rotate sreen in settings has been checked, as well as g-sensor calibration (which invariably ends in abort, even after rooting and flashing coredroid. I might try absolution in a few days.

The phone is for my son, and he cares a lot more whether the accelerometer works (for games) than how nice the rom looks.

One problem I found after flashing coredroid is that even at boot up tbe email app keep crashing (without me opening the app). Anyone knows whats up with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Did you do a full wipe (factory, cache partition, dalvik) before flashing rom. Coredroid has a zip called full wipe 1.5 as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fishline:
I flashed absolution, and it didn't help with the g-sensor problem at all. I put coredroid back, this time wiping data and cache, and the email problem went away. I guess my son will have to live with the g-sensor as is. Thanks to everyone who replied for the suggestions.
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
I need some help on attempting to get the new OTA and firmware and what not. Any help is appreciated, Thanks :D
[HTC Rezound] dottat:
If you are talking about ice cream sandwich its not out yet. There's a leak out but I wouldn't call it an ota until it comes to your phone ota.
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
Im talking about relocking to be able to download and install the newest ota thats suppose to come starting tomorrow. I'm on the leaked firmware right now.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Wait til it comes out and people determine if there's newer firmware first. If there is, it'll be the same process of locking, ruuing and unlocking then install the updated version of your current rom once the devs get their hands on it and start rebasing their builds. If the firmware is the same, it'll just be a matter of waiting to the dev of your rom of choice updates to the latest base then you can install their rom...

On a side note, the Razr update was supposed to go out today and so far, no sign of it from what I've seen, I wouldn't hold your breath for ICS on the 6th...

[Droid 2 Global General] odnanreh12:
Before I started to flash a new ICS Rom (which I am quite excited about) I had a D2G on Hexen. I flashed the CM9 ROM and got bricked, so I SBF flashed back to stock and tried again. Again, a brick. I tried a third time with the same result and then decided to try Gummy instead (thinking there may be some issues with CM9 because it is in Beta). It also bricked. In the end I just flashed back to my backup that I saved from right before I began this process, but I would really like to take advantage of these new ROMs. If anyone has any advice I would be most thankful.

Some notes:

I was the the newest CWM Recovery Version

I checked all the MD5 and they all aligned perfectly

Thanks for any help I receive, if you want to know something else about my phone data during this procedure, just let me know.
[Droid 2 Global General] zyy757:
so you flashed back to.33 or .608 before you flash cm9?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Hexen was made for 2.4.x stock firmware (Android 2.2 and the corresponding Motorola kernel).

All newer ROMs (CM7, CM9, Gummy, Apex, etc.) are based on 4.5.x. Update to 4.5.608 (preferably via SBF; do NOT accept any OTA updates once you're on 4.5.608) and proceed from there.
[Droid 2 Global General] odnanreh12:
Ah thanks so much, I forgot that Android Firmware numbers had to match up, I will try again later tonight

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Is it me or does it seem like Sprint forgot about it in favor of the new Evo? I thought the Nexus was the first LTE phone for Sprint......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Who cares about the nexus? That thing was already behind the curve when it came out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Still a nice phone with full aosp and lots of custom rom support such as CM9. That being said I am fully happy with the my epic touch. Such a sweet phone. Especially once CM9 gets better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah when CM9 gets on par with the NS4G versions I will be all over it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
It will be the first, the Evo 4G LTE still won't be out for another while. The Nexus should be out before then, but like the Nexus did for Verizon, it'll probably come out quietly without the big commercials and announcements.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You mean the phone sprint employees apparently just recieved training materials for?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I bet it hits this month. The EVO LTE will be late May or the first couple of days in June I'd wager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
I'm way to happy with the SGS2.. I think the nexus would be a step back. Cm9 for our device is about there.. :D

Locked bootloaders turned me off with the evo 3d.. I'm holding off on that SGS3... ;)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
Now I know this question, in general, has been asked a lot. I've literally searched and tried the solutions in other threads, but this phone might be beyond help. I just want to know if someone has another solution as to how to revive this phone. I honestly think my situation is different than most....I downloaded and installed Team Hacksung's ICS 4.0.3 Build 6.1 ROM and I was using it just fine for a couple of months. Everything was working the whole time. Today, I am browsing through my local news station's app and my phone freezes on me! I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. It boots up fine and gets to the startup screen with the time and the screen lock. I did notice right away that the digitizer screen was not responding to my touch because I could not slide my lock over to get into my phone. I tried a few more soft resets and still nothing. I did notice, however, that the soft keys at the bottom did respond to my touch and they blinked and provided haptic feedback, so at this point I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem with my digitizer. So I took the battery out then put the phone into recovery and wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then I rebooted the phone once again and still no response to touch at the home/lock screen. I then proceeded to try to reflash the same ICS ROM all over again and that's where the problem started. I can get into download mode and I've already tried to load stock froyo and stock gingerbread, but nothing works. My phone will not go past the "Samsung" boot-up screen. I've already tried several other forums' threads on how to recover a bricked Fascinate, but no matter what I try to load with Odin, Heimdall or anything else, my phone won't load past the Samsung screen. I can get into Download mode and that's it. My phone will not go into recovery using the 3-finger method. When I run odin I get a success message each time. I've even tried to heimdall the files individually and even tried to reload the stock kernel. The other problem I am running into is a lot of the links on these sites are all broken so I am unable to get the files I need. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Edit: P.S. When the phone is off and on the charger, the grey battery shows the "loading" circle (whatever you call it) in the middle of it, but never converts to showing the green bars moving up and down indicating the battery is being charged. The loading circle is also frozen and does not spin.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
it seems OP sounds like he knows what he is talking about, but lets start simple.

Have you tried going all the way back to 100% stock?

In droidstlyes FANTASTIC guide

do section 5, perhaps try with out repartition or the atlas....that has worked for me in the past.

I know on my THS ICS 7.1 build i had a "sleep of death" (wouldnt wake up) and i was lazy and did the 3 finger salute and it would ONLY boot into CWM. a battery pop would have been fine but like i said i was lazy. i had to Odin back to stock in order to re-flash everything. [luckily i had a nandroid from a few days earlier]

Good Luck

Edit: I have never seen or heard of a fassy that CAN get into Download mode and not be recovered to 100% functional.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawman27:
I'm just thinking out loud here, but here are two things to consider. Perhaps the senior members will comment.

1. Have you considered flashing a different bootloader?

2. Is it possible you have a corrupt stock and/or pit file? Have you tried re-downloading them and giving it another go?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
OP, can you post the md5sums of the files, along with the filenames that you are using in Odin/Heimdall?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
Well, I ended up getting a droid bionic from a friend, so I will turn this fassy into a project phone. If I can get it to work I will sell it or keep it for backup. Anyway...

I have not tried the older blue recovery yet. I will try that when I get back to my computer. It seems like I've gone beyond anything I've ever had to try with this phone. I read on one thread that if odin did not work, keep trying heimdall over and over until the phone boots up. I must have tried at least 8 times on one run. It still won't go past samsung screen. I can get into download just fine. No matter how many different cwms I try, I can't get into recovery using the three finger method. Im pretty knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff and I didn't flash the wrong rom or kernel or anything like that. I was running smoothly on an ics rom until my phone froze. I did have it overclocked with ns tools, but not at the time the phone froze. I honestly don't think its hardware related, but merely a glitch in the software or a bad kernel that does not want to come out? I have no clue....help me revive this baby lol...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haoleflip:
I've tried different pit files from different threads. Even the one from droidstyle's thread. I've also tried different versions of the following stock files from different "known" and trusted sites: DI01, DL09, ED01, EB01, EH03, CM7, CM9 other ICS roms and different kernels that suit each both voodoo and non voodoo. And excuse my newbness on the terms, but what do you mean by flashing a new bootloader?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawman27:
Bootloaders can be flashed in Odin the same way a ROM can. A bootloader is the rudimentary software that gets the other software up and running. When Glitch's kernel started requiring Gingerbread bootloaders for complete functionality, a lot of us realized that just having GB didn't mean you had GB bootloaders.

http://www.mediafire.com/?fqojvsynkff93hc

Hopefully this link will work. It's certainly worth a try. It doesn't seem like you have much to lose. I'd recommend flashing it the exact same way you do a ROM. There's a bootloader section in Odin, but most people avoid it. Good luck.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
What is RUU and what does it mean to me? I am rooted but on stock GB. Trying to decide if I should go to stock HC or an HC ROM or wait for a working ICS ROM. Any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbweller:
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. You would have probably had to use it to gain root. The method I used did. If you flashed CWM recovery you can install any ROM developed for the Flyer. I've tried DeSensified v2.0 and CleanROM. Both are good. There are trade-offs in going to HC. Better rendering of apps designed for tablets but occasional wifi disconnect and reconnect. A stable ICS build for this device may be a bit of a wait.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Also, the RUU is usually packed in a zip file which contains not only the utility itself, but also the ROM. You save the RUU to your PC, upzip the contents, then run the RUU.exe with your Android device connected to the PC via USB.

RUU often refers to an "official" ROM release from the manufacturer. Although the devs will sometimes pack their work into an RUU. For instance, I think globatron did this with the HC upgrade, due to the fact the Hboot also needs to be updated when going from GB to HC.

Speaking of which, if you are S-Off and rooted, globatron's method is the way to go, if you want to upgrade to stock HC. Or if you want to install a HC custom ROM for that matter. As mentioned before, the HBoot is different, so you can't just install a HC custom ROM from GB. Once you install the HC Hboot, you can go between whatever HC ROMS you want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1358758

You DO NOT want to use an "official" RUU if you are rooted and S-Off. You will lose root.

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
ICS OTA for a500 has not been announced. Are you sure you have the a500? Are you sure you know the difference between a 3 and a 4? Did you buy the tablet direct or off ebay?

Without proof, your claim is suspect. Never the less, the question is answered. No, there is no OTA ICS root option for the a500 because Acer hasn't rolled out ICS OTA for the a500 and nobody has a vanilla ICS OTA install for the a500.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
The last OTA.. UPDATE from acer was a firmware update with new bootloader to honeycomb.3.2xx xxxx 4.01 .. something like this..

Guys instead of creaming BS .. show him/her how to check

go into settings about and it will show your version and kernel numbers past them back here . Someone will inter pit them for you and show you the true version you are on. Also a screen capture would be nice. you can do this from the acer ring. If you have no acer ring then i say do not bother you are on 3.2.

If you want root there are several procedures in this forum to downgrade to 3.1 bootloader and root just look for how to root 3.2 honeycomb on acer

hope this is helpful

What make a person a troll, liar or idiot? Because I choose to ask a simple question? A simple misunderstanding is that I thought 4.0.1 was considered Android 4.0.
