[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kidspuddy:
I've done my fair share of Google searching and still haven't found anything great. Figured I'd ask my fellow SR owners.

Since my switch from the i4 the one thing I miss is using the Site toucharcade.com for reviews on games. I still use it daily for my ipad and have been looking for a site similar for our android phones. Haven't found one that's easy to find decent reviews on apps or games. Just top list all over Google.

What sites do you guys use?

Here are few sites I frequent daily, hopefully some of you guys may like.

Lifehacker.com

Redmondpie.com

Toucharcade.com (ipad games)

And just one of my favorite blogs to use:

Theawesomer.com

They get their info from a collective of the major and minor blogs sites so it comes a little later then most. But man its a rad Site to waste some time!

So what do y'all use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adlzian:
OK so I'm using liquids 1.25 rom on my cdma nexus. I wanna try other Roms out but there's one thing stopping me...some roms don't have the ability to use the big menu key. This is a must for me as I am use to Motorola phones so I have my four soft keys set up that way. My question to you guys is if there is anyway I can mod the nav bar so that way I can use a rom that doesn't come with the big menu soft key? I want my nav bar to be like this.....(big menu, home, back, recents.) Hope someone can help. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Why try other ROMs? :p

I've tried the latest AOKP and it's not better than Liquiddmooth :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adlzian:
I guess just to see if something else might suit me better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odock:
Lol because flashing roms is an addiction and the grass is always greener!

I personally love aokp b32 its the bomb diggidy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] odock:
Oh and also you can customize the nav bar with aokp just as much as liquid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RealtorRod:
I have been searching around, and I have seen a Bell ROM and Rogers, but no Telus. If someone could find me the Telus ROM and prefer it rooted, that would be awesome.

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aenima462:
You really haven't been searching hard then.. I found this by searching 'telus root' in the dev section in like 30 seconds ;) . I knew about it cause I used it to restore to stock by flashing the stock telus kernel over it.

anyways good luck

[ROOT]For TELUS Note (i717D) - No Flash Counter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RealtorRod:
Thanks, but I did use the search, and many times using terms like telus odin, telus rom, telus stock rom, etc... anyways, I missed it, thanks

I'm trying to send my old galaxy back to Tmobile because I got a new one... it was rooted I don't feel like unrooting and installing a stock ROM.... So Id rather just brick it like a free throw from Shaquille Oneal in his prime...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
flash an incompatible rom, just pick a random one...say an HD2 ROM

Just flash Any pit file thats not for the gs2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
You can actually brick the damn thing and send it back to them isn't that telling them your phones rooted and it voids the warranty?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
No because as far as they know, it was a hardware failure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Damn so from now on I'll just brick it before I send it back lol cool hell I didn't know that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] johnnycsx:
If you're going to flash just to brick it, why not just flash a stock rom? ... Oh well. Lol, brick away, install a tablet rom.

Thanks guys I did this lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PENKO956:
tmobile dont care if its rooted or not anymore.

my brother sent back his gs2 rooted for replacement without any issues and I just recently sent mine back aswell about a month ago. I got the text letting me know they got the phone ok and everything is good. I think they kind of figured if they continue to be hard on the root community we will just send a brick back to them and declare it a hardware issue.. :)

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ahh man you can't do soff as of now.

The development for downgrading is still in progress....check the thread "beta over unbricking sensation...." In android development section.

As for your bootloader is unlocked via HTC dev so its not unlocked completely...but you can install custom ics roms..but for that you need to update HBOOT from 1.23 to 1.27 (just to make sure this supports ics roms completely)

Let me know what you want actually so that I can guide you further

[HTC Sensation] shaunthecooldude23:
Hmmmm Can U Suggest Me Wat To Do Now .. Coz I M ConFused AloTT N I Dnt Knw Wat To Do !!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
What do you want to do now?

Do you want to update to ics?

Then you need to update your firmware/build number to 3.32 .

For that I need to know your cid

Command to get cid

"fastboot getvar cid"

(Assuming you have fastboot/adb setup)

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] shaunthecooldude23:
DuDe I Hav AlreAdy MenTioNeD THt I Am SUper Cid ... N YeaH I WaNt To UpDate It To 3.32
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ohh sorry ....i've completely focused on screen shots so didnt check your OP properly :D

now that you have S-ON and HTC unlocked bootloader

flashing/updating firmware through traditional way(using PG58IMG.zip ) is not possible for you.

the only way for you to update the firmware is by Running RUU...which is cid dependent

as you are super CID you can flash/run any RUU (RUU.exe)

but before doing that first off all do a nandroid backup if you have custom recovery installed

then you need to relock your bootloader (may not be required but just to be safe)

then you should run the RUU (any ICS RUU would do for you as you are Supercid :D)

you can find the ICS RUU's from here

i highly recommend using "RUU​_PYRAMID​_ICS​_HTC​_Europe​_3.32​.401​.5_Radio​_11.69​.3504​..." as this is for unbranded sensation which is deprived of all carrier bloatware

NOTE:if your phone is XE version then use "RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe"

EDIT: btw you need to run RUU with phone connected to computer in fastboot mode (i.e. fastboot usb)

guide for running RUU

click here

after running this RUU you'll have 3.32 firmware ,1.27 HBOOT and mostly locked/relocked bootloader with stock ICS ROM :D...then you should unlock your bootloader again...

after you are successful with this let me know..I'll guide you on installing insert coin ICS ROM

But Dude Shud I RelOck The BooTloAder Or Just Leave It Like As It Is N FlAsh It
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i already told you ...

running RUU form unlocked bootloader...

(don't know what happens -> but as per my understanding it should work)

running RUU form locked/relocked bootloader.

(it'll work for sure....)

now you decide how you want to run the RUU

also erm.....could you please write in small case letters ;)
[HTC Sensation] shaunthecooldude23:
I didnt get u ... coz both the LINES u menioned UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER :confused:

N I Do Not Hav Cwm Installed .. How Shud I Install It ?????/
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you said urgent and you replied after 3hrs man :rolleyes:

defining "BEST" rom is like defining "WOMEN" :eek:

each one have their own preferences...and their own pros and cons

Insertcoin and ARHD are near to stock ICS with tons of optimization...both are awesomely good ...and they are awesomely stable...

there are sense 4 roms (ported) like ordroid...insert coin sense 4 rom...etc etc...

also there are lot of AOSP roms... (AOSP are like stock android .)

bottom line is you need to decide it yourself :D

as for the recovery ...i recommend 4EXT as i feel it is better than CWM

also installing 4EXT is much easier imo

just go to this forum and download recovery updater apk...

then install recovery from apk:cool:

remember to say "yes" when it asks whether you are s-on are not :D
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
Hi ganeshp,

I'm sorry I use this thread to ask you. If the OP wants I delete this post.

Anyway, I'm on a similar situation as OP describes. I'm stuck on hboot 1.21.0001, unlocked bootloader and S-ON, my CID is BSTAR301, and want to upgrade firmware to be able to install ICS custom roms because revolutionary doesn't work on my hboot version.

Also, all attempts to get supercid failed.

Do you know which RUU I can use to upgrade firmware to 3.32?

Thank you.

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ok then enjoy.....also there is a way to thank people in xda.. :p
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The only way for you is to update your firmware to install ics roms....but for that you require an RUU matching your device parameters...it seems like you did searched "pyramid shipped roms thread" for your RUU..I also searched my best to get a working RUU for you. But got no results..I'll search further and let you know..if you are supercid you could have used any RUU..but you can't supercid now because of your bootloader and S-ON . Are you sure that for your region/carrier the ics update got rolled out? Coz then only we'll get an RUU.

Anyways ill search for your RUU and let you know if I got any leads

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
Hi,

Thanks for your help. Ive searched without luck the original RUU which comes with my device (GB 2.3.4) and there is no ICS rolled out yet as I know, so my only hopes atm is to ask if there is some RUU similar to my specs on order to try it or to do some trick.

My only chance to install an ICS Rom is by flashing the firmware trough RUU, so I'm screwed :(

If you have any suggestion about something I can try it will be very welcome.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I don't know what good changing Rom cid would do..

Can you check the Rom cid?

Type in terminal emulator

"getprop ro.cid" without quotes

This would give your Rom cid.

If this Rom cid matches your actual cid

(I.e cid from fastboot)then may be we could try something..

Remember this might not solve the problem...I'm trying to find solutions for this cid problem for the past couple of days..

[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
How on earth did you manage that? RUU files aren't meant to work on s-on devices, they don't work for me either and i'm hboot 1.23 and s-on.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
He is supercid so he can flash any ruu

If you are supercid then you can do that too :D

Also ofcourse RUU works on any devices....but you need to have the correct RUU which corresponds to your cid ..if you are supercid you can use any RUU

[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
HERE --->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1522351

This will give you s-off when it's done and then you can use a RUU

that... ugh.....i am superCID but RUU files are for s-off only....aren't they?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Dude who told you...the only advantage of super cid is that you can flash any RUU...but you are S-ON so you can only flash RUU which has same or higher firmware

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
Both methods to get my CID get the same value: BSTAR301

Thanks,
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Well seeming as though I'm s-on hboot 1.23 and no ruu files with the same or higher firmware work for me I kind of made the connection.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
If you are supercid then any ics ruu should do for you...

What error you got when you are trying to run the ruu?

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
error code: 155 unknown error, there is no solution to this error, it is not the usb, used my friends, and not the computer as the same happened on my laptop. After the error the phone, after pulling out the battery and reinserting works normally with the current custom rom.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
EDIT:

dude first of all you should run the RUU from Fastboot mode...not HBOOT!!!!

if this didn't work then try the below mentioned stuff

got this from an expert(dexter93) :

go to fastboot

"fastboot erase cache"

"fastboot oem rebootRUU"

then run the RUU

if ddin't work and got struck

"fastboot reboot"
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
I'll try but i was doing it from fastboot :)

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

EDIT: didn't work, same error 155 must be because hboot 1.23 doesn't have advanmced fastboot commands? and isn't really 'complete' because of the previously mentioned reason
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
chk this.....finally S-OFF on 1.2x HBOOT

try it...need to try multiple times to get S-OFF

Well firstly the RUU your referring to is for official gingerbread. You dont need to flash the modified file unless you have the old recovery so thats un needed.
