[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
I am not trying to prove you wrong necessarily, but I AM trying to understand this because I am very confused right now. I was under the impression that I was flashing an official leaked firmware that was Sammy built, but tweaked by ATT.

1) To the best of my knowledge, I wasnt using CM9... I THOUGHT I was using what ATT is currently developing, unless ATT is using an AOSP or CM9-based firmware....

Here is what I flashed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1568080

2) According to several websites, the solution I used seems to be the solution for the Galaxy S2 (ATT and Int)... however, I dont know if they are all talking about AOSP or not since they do not say so in the links:

http://www.jayceooi.com/tag/usb-mass-storage/

http://stuff.body-builders.org/enable-usb-on-ics/

3) According to Android Engineer Dan Morrill, UMS is still in ICS, but only usable by phones with external storage (ie, NOT the Nexus):

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...behind-galaxy-nexus-lack-of-usb-mass-storage/

4) It could also be that I am using the wrong terms here and basically making it so that everyone and myself are on two different pages. Let me clarify just to be safe (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong though! I cant go around using these terms incorrectly!):

When I am talking about UMS, I am meaning that my phone, when plugged into a computer, reads as though it is two separate drives, each with their own drive letter (in Windows, two separate drives will appear under "External Storage Devices" and will both have a different drive letter, such as L: and M: ).

EDIT: I believe UMS = MSC as well, but I could be wrong... again, I might be using the wrong terms here. No matter what, my car's manual specifically states that my phone would need to be in MSC mode in order to work, so if UMS =/= MSC, then it is MSC that I need and want in ICS.

When I am talking about MTP, then I am meaning that my phone, when plugged into a computer, reads as though it is a single Portable Device (in Windows, a single icon will appear under "Portable Devices" and will look like a cell phone or an MP3 player. When double clicked, you will then see the internal SD card and External SD card as separate drives, both both do not have a drive letter assigned to them.)

Based on my descriptions, I NEED UMS in order to make my phone work in my car.

5) When ATT releases their official ICS, should I install it, a custom ROM, or simply a custom Kernel like Siyah if I want to be able to connect as UMS (see #4's definitions).

Please make comments/answers on each # bullet point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
I'll do my best.

1. Yes that is/was the latest leak from at&t. Samsungs touchwiz UI. All builds are based off AOSP. TW, like Miui, HTC sense, Blur. are all just UI, and overlays. Crap that the companies install on there phones to make them different.

2. Dont buy into everything you read, especially when its from hokey pokey websites. I've never played with TW on 4.0, but have never seen or heard of what was stated in those link's.

3. thats the way I understood it also, but "However the cost is that Android can no longer ever yield up the storage for the host PC to molest directly over USB." taken from the link.

4. your correct on terms. UMS/MSC is what you want. but most just call it UMS.

And yes, most vehicles need UMS, know mine does.

5. Do some research, right now only a couple ROM's that i know of have UMS option. in time, more will come I'm sure.

Honestly, I have no clue, nor do i care what at&t puts in there official build.

Stability, Speed, and good ICS looks, are not gonna come from at&t.

Hope I got everything for ya.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] spexwood:
Thanks MotoMudder. I think you cleared thinks up a bit more.

All I know right now is that on the current ATT leak, I can get my phone into UMS by accessing the USB Utilities. Once the official release comes, I guess I will have to update and see if i can still get my phone into UMS the same way, or else I will need to either return to GB or use a custom ROM.

BTW, its offtopic, but if i can get it answered here without starting a new thread, I would appreciate it.

I was using Siyah Kernel and then while talking to someone on the phone, they said they were having difficulty hearing me. So, I hung up, flashed the stock kernel, then called them back and they said they could hear me better.

I was stumped as to why this happened. It was my understanding that kernels shouldn't affect phone calls. Only modems do... right?

Additional info:

-Both calls were taking place in my house.

-The weather outside was extremely windy (I was inside though, but maybe this affected the ATT network somehow?)

-Only the kernels were swapped. Modem stayed the same for both calls.

-While on Siyah Kernel, I had a SETCPU profile for phone calls: Lulzactive governor, min 100, Max 500.

-When on stock kernel, I also had a SETCPU profile for phone calls: Conservative governor, 200 min, 500 Max.

Any ideas as to what could have caused this? Kernel? Processor speed settings? Governor? Weather?

I know its kind of a hard question to answer, but which of the factors that took place affects calls?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Our kernals are weird, mic has to be flipped for AOSP vs Samsung builds. Havent played with siyha much, dont know if there are two different versions for this issue. but a search around that thread should tell ya if it'll be compatible with what your running.

Maybe someone can give a better explanation, but that the gist of it from what i understood.
[HTC One X] Brianmor:
Hi

Anyone know if it's possible to get UMA/signal booster onto an orange One x in the UK
[HTC One X] Trev16v:
I would like to know this, too.

After doing some searching, I've seen that some custom firmware is available that provides the UMA feature on the Sensation, so does that mean it could be possible on the OneX?
[HTC One X] Tiersten:
You need the special Orange RIL switcher for a phone with a similar baseband and major version of Android.
[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
Hi guys, after not looking into changing ROMs for ages, I decided to upgrade my Sensation from Cyanogen mod 7, to ARHD 6.6.2.

I'm not a complete n00b to this as before my Sensation I had HTCs' HD2 which was also rooted and had a custom ROM - However I think i've probably overlooked certain parts..

My problem is this:-

When I turn on the phone in bootloader, it will not get past there, i've tried to reinstall my old nand backup but it keeps bootlooping. The phone will not even allow me into recovery. I've scoured the forums but cannot find anything to help.

Any ideas? They'd be greatly appreciated!

Regards, Pete. :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Connect phone to PC in bootloader, run the stock RUU for your phone (which you got before rooting in case something like this happens)
[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
Thanks for the prompt reply Eddy.

I downloaded the stock RUU but may have got it wrong, it runs as a .exe file from my computer but comes up with an error message as soon as I click it.

My phone is just the stock European model Sensation. Any idea where I might find the stock rom?

Regards, Pete.
[HTC Sensation] Kerosine:
Try this out.

[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
I don't know if this'll help but when I start the phone in Bootloader this is what it says:

Jan 13 2012 17:33:34

I don't know if i'm supposed to be trying to install the stock rom the phone came with, or because i've done the 3.32 firmware update i'm supposed to be trying the stock ICS rom. I'm with Vodafone UK but I have no Vodafone markings on it.

Regards, Pete.
[HTC Sensation] Kerosine:
recovery missing?

Did you flash a recovery though? After doing the Revolutionary thing, did you answer Yes or No to flash CWM Recovery?
[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
It didn't ask me to when I installed the firmware. Before hand I had CWM working perfectly fine, as it was how I got the PG58IMG.zip onto my SD card. I can't understand why it won't work now.

When I click Recovery in the Bootloader a picture of a phone comes onto my screen with a red triangle and an upside down exclamation mark. From there it doesn't go anywhere.

I've read about how to flash CWM using the computer, but as I don't have a ROM on there I can't enable usb debugging which is stopping my computer from recognizing the device :(
[HTC Sensation] Kerosine:
Try these

I see, you have the stock recovery installed then. You can use adb commands to reflash CWM recovery. Check this out, should help. I'm no pro in commands but this list explains a lot.

Commands: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot

Recovery Download: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Should sort your issue I guess. Once Recovery installs, try reloading backup if you have correct (matching Firmware).

A

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Oh and yes - the 3.32 is for ICS based ROMs, if you're trying to reload a GB backup, it won't work. Put an ICS based ROM on your SD, and if you get to recovery, install that ROM. Do a factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe before flashing ROM though.

A
[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
Okay, i'll try this. How would I go about flashing a ROM when I can't go into Recovery? All of the ROM's are in zip format but I can't get to the "install from SD card" bit!

[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
From reading your post, and as XDA member Kerosine has stated, you have the stock recovery on your device. Now you will have to flash a custom recovery such as Clockwork Mod Recovery or TWRP. The stock recovery can not be used to flash custom ROMs, well not with out some extra effort that is.

it seems you did have a custom recovery if you was already using Cyanogen MOD 7. My question is what did you do to reinstall the stock recovery. Did you use as RUU like XDA member EddyOS suggested? If so you should have known you would then have to reinstall a custom recovery.
[HTC Sensation] peterchild2010:
Fixed!

After a lot of tinkering I'm now very happily running ARHD 6.6.2 XE :)

I had to configure adb and fastboot to install CWM 5.0.2.0 I think it was.

From there I installed the ROM with no issues.

Thank you all for your help :)

Regards, Pete.
[HTC Sensation] Kerosine:
Welcome

Glad to see this resolved. Reminded me of when I was in that situation...just a few months ago. It's impressive how quickly one can learn stuff over here when enough reading and researching is done! ;)

Happy flashing. You'll be a flashaholic in no time. I am at least. lol

[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
Hello all, I have the same problem with a friend's Sensation.

I have done the same or similar processes many times with HD2/Desire HD.

I have tried all the possible solutions but the problem remains.

When I try to flash Clockworkmod or 4EXT recovery via fastboot, it gets stuck in "writing..."

C:\Temp\CWR>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.img
sending 'recovery' (4618 KB)... OKAY [ 1.156s]
writing 'recovery'...

and the red vertical progress bar in the phone stays empty. I cannot even navigate with vol+/-, they do not respond. The only solution is to remove and reinsert the battery.

I have tried to flash the official ROM (RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed) and the same thing happens. The update program gets stuck and the phone becomes unresponsive.

Note that prior to flashing the ROM/recovery, I updated the Radio to 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07 from 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 (I wanted to flash Revolution HD ROM) and that process was successful!!

The phone's Bootloader states :

-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
eMMC-boot

so it is already in S-OFF mode.

Any help would be much appreciated!

And some photos :

The problem seems to be that it is unable to flash anything!

Whether it is Radio, Firmware (PG58IMG.zip), Recovery, Official_RUU, nothing...

I have tried the HTC Dev method but I can't get identifier_token. It returns an error...
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
This reminds me of the People that have what is none as a "Stuck Radio" with the HD2. Also knowing how some of the people with HD2's solved this problem, and that you are S-off. I suggest you find the earliest version of the Stock Gingerbread ROM and try to flash it. Maybe that ROM will flash, Also you are booting into fastboot on your device when you try to flash via RUU correct?
[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
Yes, every action is performed from fastboot. The RUU flashing fails in the "restarting from the OS charging program" dialogue (or similar as the dialogue is translated from greek), it detects correctly the current firmware and informs about the upgrade, but keeps failing. :(

Another thing I have to mention is that now it enters directly bootloader (without having to hold Vol-) whenever I turn it on (when it used to be stuck at the white screen with the HTC logo), and that it does NOT show the Radio version/info in the bootloader screen anymore...

I'm gonna try RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ as you suggested and see how it goes...

Any further thoughts would be really helpful!!! :(
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Could be a problem with sdcard,i remember a similar problem on the legend that meant you had to reflash the misc partition
[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
Thought of that and have already tried 2 different SDcards with no result whatsoever.

I also tried all the early stock ROMS :

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192608_signed

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.3_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_219990_signed

etc...

running the .exe and having the phone hooked up in fastboot usb mode.

It keeps freezing in the above mentioned dialogue.

I have also tried the PG58IMG trick with the above ROMS (getting the extracted from the setup rom.zip stored in \Users\AppData\Local\Temp\, renaming it to PG58IMG.zip and putting it to the root of the SDcard), but it also freezes during the update, with both SDcards!!!

It freezes there forever, after I press Vol Up to accept.

WTF??? :mad::mad:

I'm starting to believe there is a hardware failure (faulty NAND?) and it cannot store data.

Given the fact that the phone seems to be S-OFF and havind SuperCID, is there any possibility that something else is blocking the flashing??

Also, is it possible to have bad bootloader? Because every flashing I have tried gets stuck in the bootloader part.

Or the f***** Hboot 1.17.1111, I haven't been able to find anything helpful on such an old Hboot...
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
So you are saying it is hanging during the flashing of the bootloader, or is it hanging during the flashing of the radio? Either way it sorta sounds like one of the two partitions may have bad blocks in it. Do not give up yet though, keep giving us feed back and maybe one of us here can come up with something that will work, after all this is a community and I believe in supporting my fellow neighbor.
[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
First of all, I would like to thank you for your will to help :)

The phone is hanging during the flashing of the bootloader. The process doesn't even start, it doesn't show the red vertical progress bar. I have to remove the battery and re-insert it to start over. And it keeps entering fastboot whenever I power it on.

Is there a way to test/format the above-mentioned partitions? When I temporarily booted into recovery with Rusty's advice and selected full wipe, the phone shut down in the middle of the process. I was able to see some error messages prior to the shutting down, saying something like it was unable to access certain partitions...

The things that trouble me the most are :

1) The absence of Radio info in the bootloader

2) The absence of the red progress bar during flashing (the green -preparation one- is present when needed) and the hanging during every flash attempt

3) The fact that it boots directly to fastboot

4) The fact that it fails to access cache partition in CWM recovery, and possibly others as well
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
It almost sounds like you do not have a radio installed in the radio partition, but then again if that was the case I would think that if that was the case your device would be hard bricked. But then again that would explain why it is booting straight to fastboot because it does not have a radio to boot there for it can can not boot to the OS because it has to boot the radio first. So it is just reverting back to the bootloader when it can not boot the radio.

Maybe you should try to flash a radio to the device. Here is a link to the radio thread for the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
I have tried flashing many radios with the same result as above : freezing in the writing process (no red bar, no progress in the dos prompt)

H:\= NEW =\= HTC Sensation =\Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M>fastboot flash

[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Howdy!

Did you try to install 4EXT recovery? If...

Looks like your phone is not correctly rooted, you seem to do everything OK but it's like your phone is missing "full permission".

For what's it worth here is a flashable RUU 3.32.401.105 RELEASE version.

Just throwing ideas... Will try to dig it too.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
Seems obvious but have you tried an RUU?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Have you tried updating the firmware? http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/ROMs/HTC_Sensation/Firmware/3.32.401.x/PG58IMG.zip

Suspect it will fail, but it's worth a shot.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I agree with Rusty, it is likely to fail but try flashing the firmware as the bootloader is included in the firmware.
[HTC Sensation] Candlemass:
Thank you all for your replies and suggestions!!

I tried all of the above before posting here for help, as I was running out of ideas.

Meaning, I tried different RUUs, Firmwares (PG58IMG.zip), 4EXT recovery, Clockworkmod recovery, Radios, etc, all from fastboot.

None worked, it kept rejecting every flashing attempt I made.

I even joined the IRC channel of the unbrick project (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351) and tried resolving it with dexter93 (respect and many thanks man!!!) with no luck whatsoever. The phone just couldn't be flashed, it freezed when it was issued a flash command.

It seems to have a hardware error, possibly relating to the internal memory (e-mmc), so I'll send it to a repair center and we'll see.

We couldn't even set the S flag back to ON, like the whole memory was blocked from flashing or something (though it was in S-OFF mode and with SuperCID)...

Anyway, thank you all for your time, I will remain subscribed to this thread, so if anyone comes up with something, please do post!
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Dang that sucks man, but if Dexter93 could not help you get it going then I can pretty much assure you it is a hardware problem, as you said most likely with the eMMC. Dexter is one of the most knowledgeable people I personally know here on XDA so you had the best working with you. Hope it does not cost you a butt load to get it fixed. Sorry for your misfortune my friend.

I experienced this issue on an other device some time ago. On my HTC HD2 I was not able to install any more Apps when storage was at 35MB or below.

I assume that the Archos reserves about 200MB. Maybe for App Data or caches or such things.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saisuay:
Hi,

I tried many custom Rom, including CM9, but I never found the Wifi popup window like in stock ICS rom? This feature is to pop up a window list all available Wifi network when you get to a new area. I like it very much.

For all the custom Rom I've tried, they only have a wifi available notification in status bar, which mean I have to expand notification, select the wifi notification and then select the network. While in Stock ICS, just open wifi and you have the list pop up, easy and convenient

So how can I get that feature back?

Thanks
