[HTC Sensation] skittleys:
This is my saga thus far:

1. Followed the guide ... more or less. For some reason it wouldn't install CWM as PG58IMG.zip via fastboot automatically (it detected it, said it was parsing, then just went back to the menu), but I was able to install the img using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img was the CWM img). Anyway, everything worked properly, I had the SuperUser app, I could use 'su' in the terminal, etc.

2. I flashed 4EXT Recovery. Also worked perfectly.

3. Played around a bit, whatever.

4. Did a backup via 4EXT.

5. I bought this phone used from eBay, so I wanted to ensure there was nothing malicious hiding in the system partition. So I used RUU_Pyramid_BM_1.45.666.5_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220007_signed.exe, which is precisely what was installed before. That was successful too.

6. Then, when I set things up, Google started "recovering" my apps, i.e., downloading a bunch of apps I had on my old phone. I was not impressed by this. So I went to Settings > Storage > Factory Reset.

7. Then I reinstalled the RUU. I'm not sure if it was necessary or not.

Now I seem to be stuck. I'm not bricked -- I can do everything an unrooted user can do. But I'm pretty sure I'm NOT rooted. The Superuser app's gone, and when I type su in the terminal, it says "permission denied" (which is interesting, shouldn't it say it can't find it at all?). In the bootloader/fastboot, it says S-OFF. It also says **LOCKED** above that. I'm not sure whether that refers to system access (i.e., root permissions) or the SIM (phone was unlocked before). But the strangest part is with ADB. When the phone is on in normal mode, I can install apps, push/pull, etc. But within the bootloader, adb's not recognizing the device at all! What's particularly weird is that the fastboot command IS recognizing it! And when I do fastboot getvar cid, it's still 11111111. But it won't let me flash a custom recovery.

So, I seem to be stuck. It seems to be S-OFF, but I can't flash a recovery. I can't even restore my backup, since I need the custom recovery to do that!

Any ideas as to what I can do to re-root my phone?

EDIT: I'm watching a YouTube vid of the phone being S-OFF'd. When he started off, his bootloader screen looked identical to mine except it said S-ON. When he finished, it said S-OFF, but it also said **Revolutionary** instead of **LOCKED**. OK, so, if I try running Revolutionary again, will it fix things, or will it do nothing or even brick my phone? Will I have to do the S-ON procedure and then start anew?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
You have s-off with a locked 1.27 hboot. That's ok, at least you have s-off so you have access. Don't worry about the "locked" bootloader! adb will not connect in bootloader. That is normal. You must use fastboot when in bootloader. As far as a recovery goes, you'll need a PG58IMG with the correct mid in order for it to flash. From bootloader:

fastboot getvar mid

You can use 7zip to extract the PG58IMG and notepad++ to view the android-info.txt. Make sure your mid is listed... If it's not listed then you can add it, pack it all back up, put on root of sd and flash through bootloader.

Once you have your recovery you will have to flash superuser to regain root access.
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
I had this exact issue the other day on a gingerbread RUU, to fix it I ran revolutionary even though I was s off already, then rebooted the phone, and flashed this recovery from bootloader

This is the only one I managed to get to work, others just said 'parsing' then did nothing

[LG Nitro HD] queequegscoffin:
I had the same problem. The natural Google Voice set up didn't work. Entering *004*12345678900# code didn't work either.

I got it working by ignoring the errors and setting Google Voice as the handler then manually entering the number Google gives you to access voicemail as the three forwarding numbers.

From the dialer, hit the menu button > Settings > Call Forwarding

Note, you don't enter your "Google voicemail access number" which seems counter intuitive. You enter your 10 digit number from *004*(these)#

You can find those numbers from the Google Voice webpage > click the gear > "phones" tab > Edit > Forwarding options: Activate > should bring up a window with your code.

Hope that helps.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
That "10 digit number" (11 if you count the leading 1) that you are describing *IS* your Google phone number. If your Google number is 222-333-4444, then you dial *004*12223334444# to enable automatic forwarding to the Google number (which allows you to receive voicemail through Google). There is no special "code".

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fatbas202:
You do realize that class 4 has a MAXIMUM transfer rate of 4MB/s, right? That means that under the absolute best circumstances that it will take 2.2 hours to fill it up or to read all of the data.

But in real world experience, a class 4 that I had a couple of years ago would routinely take 25 minutes for a 4GB video to copy to it.

Just spend a little bit extra and get something that you won't want to throw across the room, well at least not as often.

I just bought one, let's pray I successfully receive it, and then I don't want to throw it across the room.

It would be very hard to find.

Seriously though, 32 gigs for 20 bucks ain't bad in my opinion, even if it's slow. Just start your super 32G file transfer before bed!

Finally will be able to have a good majority of my music on my phone... Google Music wasn't cutting it.

This is all assuming I'm not getting ripped off.

To fix it you have to select a fix channel on your router (not automatic selection).

Does the live walkman have the auto brightness... :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] musvi:
check yourself

open up your dialer

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*

click> Service tests>Ambient Light sensor

watch the values moving your phone towards light, if the value changes moving moving your phone towards light, then u have working Ambient light sensor....;)

If u wanna disable it as our xperia 2011 device doesn't have that option in settings, just download and use https://play.google.com/store/apps/...uYW5kcm9pZC5EaXNhYmxlX0F1dG9fQnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd

P.S.- you need a rooted device for that app...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
The live with workman has got a working light sensor. But the display options under settings menu doesn't offer an option for auto brightness. So the question is, is the light sensor active on stock Rom? And is there an Xperia model that offers this activation?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
Unless there is a problem it is active and the problem is that you can't deactivate it without root.You can test it though by covering the sensor, i think is the biggest circle in the top front of your phone.If it is you will see the screen getting darker;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
The difference in screen light is really small that you almost don't notice it at all. And no, you can't enable auto brightness, LWW doesn't have that function.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ahzoe:
Of Course,

i think the ambient light sensor is autobrightness :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kir3:
Maybe I'm too late but you can enable it with Tasker without root
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4736004:
Yep.. I tested in on ics .587 .. Screen dims or gets bright according to the ambient light... You can also do the service test to check that..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Salt_Water:
Yes but Sony made crap code to work with it

Yes Live With Walkman WT19i has Ambient Light Sensor, but Sony disabled it, I actually don't know why, the sensor works, but the code that Sony built seems to be very buggy on this since if you activate as wrote on this thread, it won't work as it should, most of the time, the screen will be very bright, what's not good for the screen and/or battery.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
I just bought this device and i want to know whats the best custom ROM for this phone, as well as if custom roms are provide bugs that can lessen the use of the phone. And what applications SHOULD i use to be able to use this phone on its full potential not only on gaming but also on overall(like what application to avoid lags, etc. etc.) and if its not too much pls provide links on where i can download the adviced applications safely. thanks :) i already use the search button but all the things i searched are not exactly what i want to know thats why i made a new thread for my question. thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
What's the best custom ROM?

This is an awkward question. All custom ROMs are good and this depends on ur personal preference. I would say CM9 will be the best if all the bugs fixed.

If u wan to have its full performance, ROOT it. There are lots and lots of apps for root users, so u should try them out urself. ROMtoolbox will give u a good control of a rooted SGW.

In short, trying and learning are the best ways.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] THE-E:
True words. There is not THE ROM out right now in my opinion, so I would advice you to start of with stock and root access. Than once you familiar with it and still not satisfied, start with the first custom ROM.

CM9 is really awesome, but the camera doesnt work and has a few bugs. Here again, it depends on your personal requirments, some badly need there camera, some don't mind.

With Apps it is pretty much the same. You have to go and search for your personal requirments. Maybe I'll make later a list for you with my recommended apps.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
i see, i'm still on the way on experimenting this stock rom and i'm contented for now. i'm not on hard core gaming and i just want this phone to run games just decently like temple run, and i also want to know why do people overclock to improve the 1.4ghz to 1.6ghz? does it really matter? i mean its the processor that makes the difference as far as i know even if it improves its still be the same because it has only single processor right? and thanks THE-E i read almost all of your post and i thank you for trying to make a list of recommendations :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
yeah i got it, thanks :) i just want to know on whats the advantage of using custom rom rather than staying on custom rom that has minimum bugs, and yeah i believe that what you and THE-E says is right that its up on me to try things on and experiment until i reach what i really want :) thanks, i just need some guidance from you guys and hope to talk you with a bit more :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Custom ROM may have customized kernel, different way of multitasking which "should" improve phone performance. Other thing like deodexed, zipaligned which should improve the speed of the ROM.

Some other obvious mods like

1. customized framework-res which gives u a better appearance

2. extended power menu which let u have more options like reboot

3. toggles buttons on status bar which works similar to extended menu

...and more

However, quite a lot of ppl still stick to stock ROM as its overall performance is still very good.

For example, I am using Cow V2, when playing temple run, it is a bit laggy; while my gf is using stock ROM, temple run is running smoothly w/o any lagging.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
i see, i really should stay on stock for a while and try all things before i try custom roms, thanks for the explanations i appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
also i do want to know how good this camera can be and the videos, as far i as i tested its just normal and gives a decent quality for me, or is it not? can you guys say your thoughts about its features if its worth it or not. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Generically why dun you google it at youtube....plenty of video previews.

I bought my first android after going thru the previews at the same channel.

The reason I bought the SGW was due the fact....

. The price is reasonable

. The CPU speed is fast

. And of course ICS CM9 by a Developer whose ROM I had used before on my first Android

Just to add too I never went thru a video preview before deciding on purchase.

And to my suprise four of my friends bought the same....coz they knew what I could do with it...:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
i did actually, but honestly what i saw on youtube reviews are all pros and no cons, i mean they just show how good it was but when a real user posts his/her experience then there comes the cons. thats why i want to know what on real other users. in some forums they say that the camera fails as well as the video and i just want to confirm it, in gaming i know its not the best coz of the single processor but i somehow want it because im not into hardcore gaming.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Have a simple question what is the phone model ur r using rite now ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
im using the same phone you are using mate :) and i think i just need to do it step by step to know personally what things are not decent on this phone. thanks for the reply :) i got 1 more question mate, do changing the ROM can really improve the performance of the phone? i mean its only customized right? what things do you like on that CM9? some says they use Cow, whats the difference?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
All the ROMS here are based on Gingerbread n using the very same kernel created by arco68 n some of the kernels have been modified.

If you wanna know the full capability of the SGW I suggest you try CM9 ICS which is the only IceCream Sandwich made...still in Alpha Release n modifications still being carried out...

Where is your originated country ? BTW ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
oh so the CM9 ICS is for the Ice Cream Sandwich OS? so it means if i flash that rom my OS will no longer be Gingerbread? im from Asia, Philippines. :) thanks for the reply always buddy :)

So here is my personal must have Applist:

- Skype (free video telephoning)

- WhatsApp (free messaging service)

- Wikipedia Mobil or Wapedia(better widgets)

- Dolphin Browser (Fullscreen Browsing and much more funktions)

- GoLauncher (very intuitive, but needs performance)

- GoDialer (customize as you wish)

- GoSMS (cool SMS-App with iPhone skin)

- CubedPlayer (best looking MP3-Player on earth(with the right settings))

- MX Video-Player (accepts most video codecs)

- CameraZoom (you can use the Volume-Button to make the picture and more ...)

- Youtube

- WifiTunes Pro(ONLY if you use iTunes on PC)

- Amazon

- Dropbox (very easy Data transfer)

- Google Earth

- Google Googles (uses camera to find anything you search for)

- Google Sky Map

- eBay

- IMDb (Movie data base)

- QR Droid (to decrypt QR-Codes)

- SoundHound (records and searches the played music from e.g. Radio)

- Google Transalation

- Out of Milk

- KeePassDroid (Password Manager)

- ezPDF Pro (best PDF Reader)

- AdAway (against advertisement)

- AlarmDroid (best alarm)

- DroidStats (if you want to keep track of free minutes, sms, data)

- Gemini App Manager (you can block autostarts and more)

- JuiceDefender Ultimate (safes a lot of battery in my case)

- Nomedia (lets you choose the folders with media)

- ES Explorer/Root Explorer (let you browse and change any file on your system(root required)

- RAM Manager Pro (Makes the Stock ROM smoother; not needed if you use custom ROMs)

- WidgetLocker (most customizable Screenlocker)

- Widgetsoid (let you creat your own Widgets)

- TeamViewer (to take control of your PC)

- Tesla LED (use your LED as flash light)

- Micro Metall Detector

- Facebook (Facebook ;-D)

So this is MY most wanted or must have applist. There will be probably a bunch of apps which will be unnecessary for you, but this you will have to find out by yourself.

also i wanna know if i can use the Universe kind of screensaver/wallpaper with full 3d effects on SGW.

- JuiceDefender Ultimate (safes a lot of battery in my case)

- Nomedia (lets you choose the folders with media)

- RAM Manager Pro (Makes the Stock ROM smoother; not needed if you use custom ROMs)

These Apps are good for performance.

JuiceDefender improves the performance of the batter life.

Gemini App Manager lets you block autostarts of Apps and more.

NoMedia let you set the folders with media, this will save time for the start up and also safe battery, because the media scanner does not search all directories.

RAM Mananger Pro optimises the RAM management, this improves the performance of my SGW a lot. But most probably you will not need this, if you use CM9 or other custom ROMs.
