[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian Franzen:
I had the same problem. The solution is simple however. I'm using Cyanogenmod for my rom. It turns out you have to download and install the google play apk.

As soon as I rebooted, I was asked for my Google account and once I entered the information, everything, including my apps, automatically downloaded and installed. Of course, it's important to note that I backed up my account to my Google account. I highly recommend this.

So, I think if you just find the gapp.apk for your rom, you'll be ok.

Hope that helps,

[HTC Sensation] xellos2099:
I original have the Nexus but they lock my web2go a month ago so now I am seeking new phone that can be used. From what I understood, Sensation non-tmobile brand and Sensation XE would work. Are they worth it and where can I find a good price on a international Sensation? I am also pondering on N9. Since you can add andorid on it and i am pretty sure tmobile will never block it but no ics support.

Another thing I am consider is that I will most likely receive a Titan II from the ms contest and I can unlock it and use it as 2g phone. Which is pretty tempgin as T2 is a pretty sweet phone.
[HTC Sensation] magic.hand:
well, from my personal opinion after being using Sensation XE for more than 2 months and with amount of time i've spent jumping from ROM to ROM, this phone is well-worthy for you to buy, even when i am not a phone-switcher kinda guy but when i want to buy something, i will researched and do comparison with my friends' phone.

as of for now, since HTC One is around the market, i would suggest you get that one :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
While that appears to work, the huge disadvantage of this is it completely blocks the portion of the screen you're sticking the thing onto, so you can't see part of the display.

I prefer using SixAxis, myself, so I can use my ps3 controller on my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adik82:
Oh thanks buddy...thats great to know but i saw one thread saying that you can only use sixaxis with rooted device.. Is that true ??? If not then can i use Ps2 joystick also ???

Yes, you have to have root. And ps2 pads are not bluetooth, as far as I know, so they won't work.

[HTC Rezound] uo959:
I "flashed" the stock ICS leak 3.11.605.22 and it worked awesome for like 2 weeks. Today I restarted the phone and it never came back on, it never booted up no matter what I did. I now have the replacement rezound and want ICS again, was this just a freak accident or did the RUU mess up?
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
Did you try a different battery? Id say the ruu had zero to do with it.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
I certainly will not flash the leak on my phone. Its working too perfect to risk messing with uncertainties.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Personally, with all the reports of bad devices I would just wait a week or so to make sure your new phone doesn't have any issues before flashing anything.

I really wonder how many people blame the leak for bad phones. Seems like HTC had bad quality control when it came to the rezound. I feel lucky to have had no problems with my phone after reading all the reports of returns and heating issues.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
I have had the ICS leaked RUU on my phone since the day it came out and have not had the first problem with it. The RUU didn't mess your phone up, a dead or faulty battery probably did.
[HTC Rezound] uo959:
It wasn't the battery, the Verizon rep tried a new one and he also tried both batterys in the new phone and they worked fine in the new phone.

The phone that messed up, I had for about 3 weeks or so with no problems. Then I used the RUU and it worked flawlessly for about 2 weeks, then BAM! now I have a brick.
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
since flashing the RUU i have radio issues galore. data just stops working. sometimes on wifi, sometimes on 3g, whatever.
[HTC Rezound] uo959:
See I never had problems with the RUU itself. The radio worked tons better than it did before the RUU.
[HTC Rezound] uo959:
Now my new rezound won't read my sd card. I tried reformatting still doesn't read it.
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
For those of you who have flashed the RUU and are having problems, try flashing it a second time.

I paid particularly close attention during the flashing process and hand verified the versions of subsystem I could after the update. It turned out that the first flash only applied the hboot, kernel/boot, and a few minor systems successfully. After a second flash, everything applied correctly.

For instance, a number of people reported that the radio versions didn't change from the update, when in fact the radio changed significantly (currently running @ 1.22.10.0310r, 1.22.10.0308r).

After the update, I've found my battery life is significantly better than the GB kernels (I used BAMFs modified, Incredikernel and the Stock OTA). My reception is noticeably better, but I can't give a qualitative judgement other than that. And, most importantly, the phone is easily 100% more responsive. I used the stock OTA and BAMF 1.0.2 on and off for a while and unless I repeatedly killed background tasks my home screen (ADW Launcher EX) would stutter and lag, games would periodically slow down, web browsing would periodically freeze, etc. Now, my phone consistently has 300MB of RAM free (before it was usually less than 100MB). The leaked RUU is the best thing to have happened to the Rezound so far.

Note: despite my complaints above, my phone was always more usable than my OG Droid and my wife's dinc2, I'm just giving a comparative description.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
I've been flashing various ROMs over the last few days and mostly doing full wipe installs since i dont have that much to backup/restore.

The way i have been doing it is to boot into CWM recovery and then do three things:

-Wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

I then flash the new rom straight after without reboot.

I noticed in the Hydrogenics thread that it says to format /system under the 'mounts and storage' section as well. Should i be doing this when flashing any rom? Should i be doing else as well (format the sd card etc.)?

I have yet to run in to any problems doing it the way i have been i'm just curious is all.

Thanks

also when you flqash MIUI it formats system for You just to let you know.

formating system + no titanium restore = absolutly no problems :P (one might not agree!)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
So I just realized VZW 4g phones need sim cards. My previous phone was an original droid so I don't have one. Since I ordered a Gnex from wirefly, do they include the sim card or do I have to get it from VZW? What is the process like to get one?

I also had wirefly keep my original data plan (unlimited). Will that transfer okay and work with vzw 4g lte? My phone is arriving tomorrow so just want to be prepared so i can get up and running asap!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr.Doc:
sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
I got mine off Amazon, and the sin card was in the sealed nexus box. I imagine it'll be the same with wirefly, and my unlimited plan switched perfectly since I had it on my original Droid and Incredible 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
perfect, exactly what i wanted to know. thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randomnameftw:
Yup, wirefly should/will include it in the box. You are set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Be sure to call and have wirefly activate the phone. If you try to do it through the vzw website they will try to get you to change data plans to a tiered one. That is if you don't already have one.

I haz no sig
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
It comes packaged. If you ever need a new one go to Verizon and they will likely provide one free of charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
perfect thanks, so excited

awesome thanks.

I activated my original droid by just calling the activation number and using the automated system. Is it different on this device which requires you to call wirefly/vzw?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reyes.jr:
I think you'll be fine using the automated system. I doubt it'll change your plans without your consent, or at least without asking/warning u about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
I'm sorry, activation wasn't the problem it was swapping my old phone with the GNex on Verizons website that prompted me to "upgrade" to a tiered plan. That was my experience. If you run into problems just call Wirefly and have them do the switch.
[Acer Iconia A500] PyreKing:
Yes There is a couple of treads on how to unroot the A500. But looking through them,not everyone can get it to work. And as far as ive seen there's no simple method posted that everyone can use. So i decided to share a very easy 3 step process to unroot,for whatever your reasons may be.

1: Install the update.zip to root of Sd.

2:Reboot recovery, select install update.zip

3: Reboot device.....Done.....

When the update is almost complete you will see a series of errors,this is normal.

After you tab boots you will need to do 2 updates back to back. I recommend you full factory reset after the updates.

If you will be needing to reroot, using Timmy Deans root 3.2.1 v4.7 is highly recommended. By using this root your serial or CPUID is auto generated and placed in the serial numbers folder, if you ever need it.This will not work for ICS Roll back.

Hi all

Recently I bought HTC sensation ( i'm new to android) and I was wondering if my handset is rooted an s-off or not.

When I go to hboot it looks like this

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**locked**

Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

Hboot 1.18.0000

Radio 10.14.90.35.01_m

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have android 2.3.4 GB, sense 3, firmware no. 1.50.401.1

Can any body tell me it is s-off or not?

I read somewhere that if I will have s-off and root I can instal ICS by OTA and I will still have s-off, it is true? If I will don't like sense 3.6 on stck, I want to flash custom sense 4 rom. It is posible?

If I don't have s-off

can anybody tell me exactly what to do to have s-off and root in my case

ps. sorry for my english
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
You are s-off. If you flash an ICS OTA you'll still have s-off, but you'll need to gain root access whether or not you currently have it.

Simplest way to check if you have root access currently is to download a terminal emulator from market, open it, enter "su", and if it shows a "#" instead of a "*" then you have root access.

If it does not then you'll need to flash a custom recovery, and then flash a superuser.zip through recovery which will install the su.apk as well as the su binaries to allow root access to applications.
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
in terminal I type su but it shows that I don't have premision or something

so I flashed custom recovery, it shows me that it' will be updated, after rebot i deleted it from sd and boot again but seams to be de same recovery

what to do in this case?

and wat thas mean that in boot is s-off but **locked** on pink background

thanks
[HTC Sensation] XaQi 101:
You definetly S-OFF but you are locked that mean you can't install custom ROM or flash zip with not from hTC. Since you are S-OFF you have to unlock it either via htcdev.com or Revolutionary. The Revolutionary will be the good choice right now, and since you are in Gingerbread. You can follow ":[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on" to root and unlocked the nand. Hope this will clear your's problem.
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
thank for help,

I make a mistake, custom recovery installed fine to me, I just don't know where to find instal from sd card, but now i now where it is

ok If it is locked I try to unlock it by revolutionary metod

and one question - After that I must instal recovery again or it will be stil ther after revolutionary process
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
Because you are S-OFF already you can update to official ICS, then flash the 3.32 Unlocked firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

then flash a recovery http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798

and you will be ready to flash any new custom ICS roms.
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
OK I have in botloader now this

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

revolutionary <----- chenged from **locked**

Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

Hboot 1.17.1111 <----- chenged from 1.18.0000

Radio 10.14.9035.01_M

eMMC- boot

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I installed su 2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

and in terminal when i put su command I get #

so please tell me I'm s-off and root, right?
[HTC Sensation] namila007:
you arw now soff and unlocked your bootloader. we cant say your os whether rooted or not. check the Superuser app in app drawer.if it is there you are rooted
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yes
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
A LOT of bad information/advice in this thread...

To the OP:

Going by what you originally posted you ARE S-OFF as said but you were running the stock HTC HBOOT 1.18.0000. With this you CAN flash a custom ROM but you CANNOT use fastboot commands as the stock HBOOT has them locked out. If you were to go to Recovery and you got CWM then you can flash a new ROM/root your existing ROM with no issues whatsoever

If you went to Recovery and got a red ! on the screen then you have the stock Recovery and cannot flash a custom ROM. You would need to flash CWM via a PG58IMG.zip file

Once CWM has been flashed you can then use a custom ROM.

Going by the last HBOOT info you posted you are currently running the Revolutionary HBOOT which is the same as the HTC one but allows the use of fastboot commands.

The important thing here is you will NOT be able to run an ICS-based ROM until you update the FW to the latest 3.32 FW so until you do you're stuck with GB-based ROMs
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
SO I must update to new ICS via OTG, but... When it download and update my phone I got a strange icon with android and with "!", and it stuck, only batery pull down is working to bring it to life. What can I do with this???
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
Just flash that new 3.32 firmware which is needed for ics, then my given recovery, and you will be ready for ics roms.
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
Please help!

I make a mistake and now I have s-off but locked on 1.27 bootloader and also boot loop

Is original firmware from here bring my phone to life, I flashed before unlocked firmware, but got loop so flashed also fix for it but not work

http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/
[HTC Sensation] yozas:
So did you flash the recommended unlocked 3.32 firmware? Your hboot version should be 1.27.1100 now, is it? Now flash 4ext recovery and then choose one of many ics roms. Your old gingerbread rom will not boot with the new hboot so it is normal. Get an ics rom.
[HTC Sensation] kellyq:
I'm stock again, phone works but how to get it unlocked again

I updated my phone via RUU to official ICS, so at the moment I have s-off but locked and bootloader ver. 1.27.0000

I want to ask If I update by RUU to oficial GB it brings older bootloader too?

How to get custom ICS now....?

Thanks for the reply! I did come across that at one point but didn't try it.

[Nook Touch General] Efemmeral:
"I did not do a backup before trying to root...besides that I don't know how to do it and don't know if it would help in this situation anyway."​

After you get your Nook back to stock state don't shy away from making the backup. And do it before you make any other changes. Having a pristine image of your Nook's original state will make you nearly bulletproof. Give yourself time to understand the issues involved in making the backup. This new knowledge will generalize to other aspects of rooting.

The instructions for making the backup are here but you may find this isn't enough information. I found this post from Renate extremely helpful.

Finally, it will be helpful to know that, done correctly, your Nook v.1.1.2 backup will be exactly 1,958,739,968 bytes.
