Yes, that is the reason. You should have s-off before upgrading to ICS. What you can do is to extract a ROM from a GB RUU rename it PG58IMG and flash it from bootloader.

It will bring you back to GB and can use revolutionary to s-off, then upgrdade again to ICS.
[HTC Sensation] Ruus77:
Thanks alot guys. Think I will wait for that update from the Revolutionairy team though.
[HTC Sensation] Ruus77:
Next thing

Just to ask again. Is the only way to S-off and thereby root to do as kualmente posted?
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Actually Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27 then you cannot use it to s-off.

As said before you can try flashing from bootloader a GB Rom in PG58IMG form and see if it works. If it works (not sure 100% because you are s-on) you will be back to GB with Hboot 1.18 which is supported by revolutionary to s-off.

Try and let me know download. Simply rename it PG58IMG and put on the root of your sd card. Then reboot bootloader while pressing volume down + power button. Follow instruction on screen.

When completed and rebooted, delete PG58IMG from sd card.

Hope it works.

P.S. file is still uploading
[HTC Sensation] Ruus77:
Isn't there risk of bricking phone doing this?
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
It won't work anyway. You are s-on and cannot downgrade. You have to wait until hboot 1.27 is supported by revolutionary or the rumored (but completely unproven) new s-off method with the ridiculous name.
[HTC Sensation] japinder:
'ridiculous name'...?

The finnish one? :confused:

Cheers, Jp
[HTC Sensation] Ruus77:
Thanks. :-( sad that I have to wait though. Were on ARHD on my old Sensation. And really hates the battery time on my new stock one.
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Did you try what I suggested in my post #6?

There is no risk to brick. Worst scenario it will fail to update because you are s-on.

Best scenario you will downgrade to GB and proceed to s-off with revolutionary.

At the end this is an official RUU released by HTC and then it cannot be harmful to give a try
[HTC Sensation] Ruus77:
Haven't tried since others said it wouldn't work anyhow. Saw the same stated in other threads, regarding similar problems.

Maybe I should try though since it won't brick.

[HTC Sensation] salea656:
hi,

I'm a true noob when it comes to root though i am still trying to do it so i can change this bad asian sensation xe stock ICS Rom.

I updated without knowing I should s-off first

now i understand that i have a few options like waiting for a team to release a hack, or through htcDev but i want to try what kualmente wrote

my problem is that the download link he posted is bad

but i have an official RUU that i downloaded before "RUU_Pyramid_LE_hTC_Asia_TW_1.73.709.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_221625_signed.exe"

I want to know if it is possible to downgrade HBOOT with this and use revolutionary method for s-off?
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
My file is not bad at all. It is just in PG58IMG format so it can be flashed from the bootloader (running a RUU.exe would give error).

You have a sensation Xe and of course you need a different RUU. Try to find out the way to extract "rom.zip" from the RUU, rename it PG58IMG and flash it from bootloader.

As said before, not sure 100% if it works because of s-on

By the way HtcDev doesn't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] salea656:
First thanks for answering

i didn't say the file was bad i said the link was bad. I can't download the file I get "file not found".

how do you do that???

And i think i got the right version because before i updated to ICS i updated to 1.77 via OTA and in the zip file it rights the preious version and it is written there "1.73.709.4 CL177617 release-keys" same as the RUU that i have.

UPDATE: got the rom.zip from my RUU and renamed it. now how do i use it? and what will happen to my phone afterwards? will it be like a factory restore?

if so how can i backup my apps or game saves?

someone wrote a TUT about acheving root with S-ON through htcDev
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Before you start I repeat: I'm not 100% sure it will work because you are S-On.

1) Rename the rom zip in "PG58IMG" and put in the root of sd card (not inside a folder).

2) Untick fastboot from Settings -Power

3) Pull out and reinsert battery.

4) Power on the phone while pressing volume down + power button to reboot into bootloader.

5) when prompted "do you want to update?" say yes by pressing volume up.

6) If it works, will do its things (it takes a while and screen may goes black a couple of times) just dont do anything and wait untill completed.

7) when completed push power button to reboot.

8) Delete PG58IMG from sd card.

Of course you will lose all data and apps unless you make a backup.
[HTC Sensation] salea656:
just tried and got

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

it didn't even ask me if to update or not

any other idea?

i did what you wrote

is there a different version i could try?
[HTC Sensation] Xroads:
I've tried almost everything on the forums, there is no way you will be able to downgrade your 1.27 bootloader. We vill have to wait for someone to hack this loader, before we will be able to try custom roms.
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
Well, you tried at least! If you were S-Off you could downgrade without problems. No other ideas, sorry :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkazir:
Hi,

I just bought a DVP and there is no Hebrew language inside so I decided to update the WP7.5 but i have few questions:

1. Is there a way to find heb language without a custom rom? if so where can i find it and how to install it?

2. if not? Where can I find instructions, how to install custom rom for the DVP and which custom rom is the best and support heb language?

3. if i'm installing a custom rom does it mean that i jailbreak my DVP?

Thanks,
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Custom ROMs typically include "full unlock" which could be considered "jailbroken" to the extent that such a non-specific term can be used for WP7 (I dislike its use; there are at least four distinct levels of unlock on WP7).

The bigger problem is where you're going to get your custom ROM from. Last I checked, the DVP bootloader hadn't been cracked so there weren't any custom ROMs for it because why bother creating something that can't be installed? Maybe there are ROMs now, though.

BTW, isn't Hebrew a Right-To-Left language? You're probably not going to find that on any WP7 right now; I don't think RTL languages are supported yet at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkazir:
Thanks, Hebrew is written rtl.

As I understand, if there are no official update from dell, I won't be able to update my DVP to an updated Microsoft WP?

hello friends

yesterday i brought hp touchpad 32gb and was just checking the device settings and it is showing carrier.

i am just wondering whether this supports sim card ???

can anyone tell me does it support sim card ???

thanks
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
They all say that. I would guess a holdover from webOS. IIRC there is also a Phone app etc on all of them too.

There is a little thing that slides out that looks vaguely like a SIM tray too.

No, the WiFi versions do not support SIM cards. The version for AT&T Faux G never went into wide production.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mjwiech:
Hi,

I use Galaxy Tab 7.7 without any modifications.

Something happened to the apps list screens (accessible through small "Apps" icon on top of the display).

When I move an app icon from a certain screen to another, it will come back to the old place after some time.

This does not happen on home screens, just on some apps screens.:confused:

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

mjwiech
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] terminatort1000:
I had that problem too. Solved it deleting touchwiz data in the app manager (you wil have to rebuild your folders and desktop settings)...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mjwiech:
Sorry, I am not yet very well acquainted with Android/TouchWiz.

You mean to use the standard Settings app and clean data for Twlauncher?

Will it reset both the home screens AND app list screens?

Thanks a lot!

mjwiech
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mjwiech:
Maybe somebody will be interested.

I found a (relatively) safe solution.

The AppZorter allows to sort the app screens and works well on Galaxy Tab 7.7.

If the sorting does not put everything in order, there is "Advanced settings" option and "Reset", which completely restores the default app screens.

Hello :D

I have got 2 questions according mu brand new galaxy ACE

1) I read very much documents (pdf) on my ACE and in the night when i set the LCD backlight level to minimum. But i think even on the minimum level the lcd led backlight is to strong :mad:. Is there posibility do decrease the backlight level more? Any app, driver?

2) I did not found any etended audio driver for Galaxy ace to improwe audio quality (like SRS WOW HD). Do i need root?

regards
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
U can use "rootdim " to turn off the backlight buttons and screen or download " chainfire3d pro" it has night mode provision ( even cm7 has this :) )

2. Flash beats audio to increase volume or use volume+ pro ( both require root ..v+ is on play store beats A here in XDA

When I connect my phone to my Mac I get USB debugging running and can see the phone through adb devices but the sd card is not being mounted so I can't copy files to the phone.

Is there any solution to this? Is it possible to re-enable MTP on CM9?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep. You can do it via ADB. Have a look at/search the CM9 discussion thread. It's been mentioned quite a few times over the past 5-7 days.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] erickho0407:
I read in the cyanogenmod forums that that the ROM (the public alpha-1 version) made by arco68 is "unofficial" CM9 ROM. What can be the reason for this custom ROM being "unofficial?"
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] chocolemon:
im sure your not a good of a reader arent you ?

well 1st of all its unofficial because samsung WILL not realease ICS on SGW

and what arco has made is still incomplete ... there is still known bug and unknown bug that hasnt been fix yet ...

and the the ics camera on cm9 for sgw still is not working that's why its not official
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] erickho0407:
I see :) .

Before my next question, I wanted to clarify first that by "unofficial," I meant the "unofficial CM9" built by arco68. (I am also aware that Samsung will not release "official" stock ROM)

Now, if that's the case, then what is the difference between the nightly builds (which, I assume are the alpha builds, please correct me if wrong) in the cyanogenmod's device page and the build (Alpha-1) version of arco68's ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] wiseless:
it's considered unofficial because it's not being released by the core team from cyanogenmod. They don't and can't work on every single device.

Still, cyanogenmod announced recently that they will support and assist whenever possible independent developers (like arco) and make their ports official at some point and, of course, under certain criteria (QC probably).

AFAIK CM9 for the SGW will become an official CM9 release as soon as it gets finished.

If I'm not mistaken all releases of CM9 are still in alpha stage.

[HTC One X] floepie:
I have a folder of Google/Chrome bookmarks that I would like to transfer to the phone's local set of bookmarks. I'd rather use local bookmarks on the phone because the folder of bookmarks I'd like to use is nested from the root directory (if you know what I mean), and it's sort of a pain to have to hit the folder each time I'd like to access the folder's contents.

So, is there an app that can simply copy a folder of bookmarks to the local set of bookmarks?
[HTC One X] Sebring5:
You don't need an app. You can do it in the settings for the browser that comes with the phone. Just go to bookmarks and view your Google/Chrome bookmarks.
[HTC One X] floepie:
Hmm. I sort of expected I wasn't being clear enough.

OK, in the default browser's bookmarks section, you have two subsections - Google account bookmarks and local bookmarks.

The Google account subsection always defaults to the root directory and does not remember the last-accessed subfolder. The root directory mirrors Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar. I have a folder of mobile-optimized websites. It is this folder that I would simply like to copy to the *local* bookmarks subsection.

The reason is that only then, by selecting the *local* bookmarks as default, all my mobile-optimized bookmarks appear in the root directory. It's simply about faster access, and I'd rather not have all my mobile-optimized bookmarks occupying my Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar.

Does that make sense?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

This repacks are only for the yakju/maguro model - the international GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus

I personally had some trouble installing the OTA update, so here's some ODIN repacks of the full stock image. Personally I prefer ODIN over fastboot/sh combos.

No wipe, no recovery, no bootloaders

IMPORTANT: "No wipe" is only if your device has been previously OEM unlocked. If your device is NOT OEM unlocked, this WILL wipe your data !

Use this version to update your existing installation to IMM76D. It includes kernel, system, and radio, but keeps your recovery (CWM ?), bootloaders, and userdata intact.

Download: http://goo.im/devs/Chainfire/yakju/CF_ODIN_YAKJU_IMM76D_nowipe_nobootloaders_norecovery.zip

Full image

Use this version to flash the complete stock IMM76D ROM. It includes bootloaders, kernel, recovery, system, userdata, and radio.

Download: http://goo.im/devs/Chainfire/yakju/CF_ODIN_YAKJU_IMM76D_full.zip

Originals

The full original Google images can be found here:

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

ODIN ?!

The (Windows) software is attached. USE THE ATTACHED VERSION. DO NOT USE AN OLDER VERSION. A lot of you will be familiar with ODIN from other Samsung devices... well, it works exactly the same on this device.

Turn off your device, turn it on again by holding volume-down and power to enter ODIN download mode.

Launch the ODIN software, press the PDA button and select the .tar file you extracted from the .zip file you downloaded.

Make sure in the ODIN program "Re-Partition", "Phone EFS Clear", and "Phone Bootloader Update" are

NOT

checked.

Connect the Android device with your computer and you should see a yellow box in the ODIN program. Press the "Start" button, wait a minute or so, and your device will be booted with this firmware.

Also see the attached image, which has every box you need to look at circled in red :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awia:
Why??

a "flashodin" without a repartition (without pit file) it´s like a flash with fastboot method...

why do you prefer odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
Because it's quicker and easier. But that's a personal opinion. This is not a discussion about what is best, each method works. ODIN is my personal preference - I'm not saying it should be yours.

(Also, these files can be used with Mobile ODIN :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awia:
ok ok

I´m only curious for you opinion and if you maybe have a special info about it... :p

not from Samsung or Google... with the S2 i had more support

no,,,if i update to 4.0.4 and re lock it...will the Samaung agent know that i unlock and re lock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
Hey Chainfire!!

Well, I'm still glad, to see you working, in this forum, and more specifically, for/on this device…

But, basically, all you did, is just put the images, into a TAR... No offense, but it's not exactly anything special…

But, it's still great, that you had the idea ^^

I'm hoping, to see more work, from you!!

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

You can force the update... But, to be on the safe side, do an ADB backup (of your COMPLETE phone!! [Including: System, Apps, SDCARD])

To do this, type following, in CMD (If you have ADB drivers, that is)

adb start-Server
adb backup %homedrive%\Galaxy_Nexus_Backup\Galaxy.ab -System -apk -shared -all

Confirm the backup, on your phone… Wait for it to finish and Done…

Then (If you want...) Type:

adb kill-server

To kill the process ^^

(Or, just use my Root Helper... Link in my signature… ;) )

EDIT: No, Samsung will NOT notice, if you have tampered, with the phone… After all, they don't really care, about that, that much… It's a developers phone ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adriankim1984:
question here????

can i use this update on my galaxy nexus docomo version.. its unlocked version..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
This update is available, to all Galaxy Nexus (GSM) versions… It doesn't matter, if you have a stock (OEM) or custom ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chainfire:
It isn't anything special - but lots of people want it, and don't know or can't do it themselves. As doing this makes it compatible with Mobile ODIN, which I sell, I think it's generally a good idea to do these things ;)

Also, to a lot of developers, half of what's posted on XDA is trivial, so if that's a reason to not post things... very few things would still get posted :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
How true ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adriankim1984:
what i mean is i have this https://negrielectronics.com/samsun...galaxy-nexus-black-unlocked.html#.T4ihkVH9MU4

i dont know if its international version, am i using the gsm or cdma?

i just purchased my phone today.. and its kinda different from my previous gt i9000 which is international version. im used to flashing my sgs1 but i dont understand things on Gnexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is a GSM version. The only CDMA version is from Verizon, and has a big Verizon logo on the back of it.

Note however, the Docomo version, which is the one you are buying, is usually SIM-lock to Docomo. The dealer you are buying it from likely unlocked it. If you flash a different ROM, it will once again be SIM-locked, so you will have to get it unlocked again. (There are apps in the theme & app section that will do it, but make sure you read the threads.)
