[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Just to clarify a few things, simply unlocking and rooting does not void your manufacturers warranty so long as the phone powers on. It hasn't for some time now. However, if the phone does not turn on and it is somehow found that the device is rooted, I am told that you run a risk of possibly having the manufacturer turn away the device as a void warranty. If you have assurian insurance with Verizon however, they will still replace it (with a deductible of course).Verizon's policy says absolutely nothing about checking for root on devices. When a phone is received, a phone is checked for three things:

They check to see if the box that the device was sent in is damaged,

if the outside of the phone looks awful, and if it powers on – satisfy all of those and they move on to the next phone. I have confirmed this with our Verizon rep for my company.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
while vzw may not check for root,recovery,etc.,i would be careful making such a powerful claim that "rooting/unlocking does not void your mfg warrranty and hasnt for some time now".

this is direct from the htcdev website,when you click the get started button with unlock bootloader:

then,when you pick your device,and click begin you get this warning first:

followed by having to check both of these boxes:

im not saying that htc will not honor a mfg warranty claim. but they certainly have that right if they wish,regaurdless of the claim that "rooting/unlocking does not void your mfg warrranty and hasnt for some time now"

bottom line is that users need to act like adults,and if they brick their device trying to flash a bootloader or radio,then they need to step up and make an insurance claim,not a mfg warranty claim.

fradulent mfg warranty claims hurt us all in phone pricing,even when returned to stock prior to the claim. my 2 cents.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
I can not argue with any of this. You're right in that they reserve the right to refuse claim. Big enough to tamper with your phone, big enough to deal with the consequences
[HTC Rezound] tifford:
stupid me...

i was stupid and did the HTC-dev unlock AFTER i got s-off.

now, i just want to make sure i've got my steps down before doing this. (I need to get my phone back to s-on and locked)

so, currently, im s-off and unlocked.

first i need to relock to run the RUU.

after running the RUU, follow the steps in the OP and that will give me S-ON RE-LOCKED

then i need to htc-dev unlock to get s-off again.

DO NOT unlock this time.

then, RUU, follow OP, and i'll be S-ON and LOCKED

winning?
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
Correct :)

I cannot get back to stock signed hboot

Currently says:

Vigor PVT Eng S-off RL

HBoot 2.11.2005

Radio .0.95.00.1118r/0.95/00.1223r
[HTC Rezound] Doddzilla:
U have to install RUU first.
[HTC Rezound] Nappyloxs:
Tried that and just the firmware.

How do I know when I am on stock signed hboot?
[HTC Rezound] Nappyloxs:
Stock Hboot will say

vigor pvt ship s-off RL

after running the script it will say

vigor pvt ship s-on

so SHIP is what you want to know you are stock and signed.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
the best way will be to run a whole signed RUU. a firmware package may not contain a signed hboot. you need to be on stock software as well,just run the ruu.
[HTC Rezound] streetracer8605:
just wanted to say thank you for this great guide. it made it nice an easy to s-on my phone. thank you so much. the only thing that would maybe make it a little easier would be links to the signed RUU, but then again there are other threads for those. finding that is what took me the longest, lol.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:

I have followed these instructions but when I get to the "fastboot devices" my phone does not respond

I have attempted to place the phone manually into fastboot and run command "fasboot oem writesecureflag 3"

but again no response except for waiting on devices.

I am also getting a request from Windows to load HTC drivers but comes back as a failure.

I updated my sdk with all new updates available but still can not get the command fastboot devices to return the correct response.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I figured it out>>>>>>

I went to the HTC website support page and downloaded the HTC Sync App "3.2.10".

I started the install and the first thing it did was install usb drivers 3.0.0.021 when completed it asked to install the HTC sync application. Since I have no use for this app I left it where it was and proceeded with your How To and it worked flawlessly placing my device back to an S-on state (made me a lil sad to see it revert back, but what the hell it's not my phone anymore). I canceled the install for HTC sync and now will package the old phone for a return to VZW.

Thanks for the awesome write up your a Genius and when I read through these forums I feel like one too.
[HTC Rezound] JustSomeDude:
Thanks for this scotty! Just sold my Rezound, this was a great help!

One note for anyone who runs into this problem I had: I kept getting an "ADB server out of date" error, so folks should be sure they have the latest version. (Easily solved by finding a newer version of adb.exe in the HTC sync files like the guy in this Evo3D post).

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] quepaso:
My replacement rezound arrives in a hour or so, just did this and worked flawlessly. Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] Ragnell:
Not sure whats going on but I can't get Adb devices to work in cmd, keeps giving me a error saying it's not sure what that statement means, I've done this before and I have all the drivers and such, not sure why not it's being such a pain. I just ran a RUU so now im just trying to turn the flag back to ON
[HTC Rezound] REDSCARFACE1:
Do i have to be s-off to use this or can i just use this do my phone doesnt say tampered on the hboot scren. Im trying to get this back to normal for replacment issues. I think flashing the ruu i have to go back to htcdev and lock it then flash ruu then i was wondering if i ran the scripts you had posted for back to s-on if that will just overwrite my hboot tampered issue. or if there is a easyier way then let me know please thank you... Also if anything i guess i will just s-off then run this to get it back to stock. help please?
[HTC Rezound] timsterzzz:
Thanks for the guide, worked like a charm.
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
This guide has saved me with three warranty swaps so far. Huge, huge thank you!
[HTC Rezound] Kelton Rivas:
So, just run an ICS RUU or Gingerbred RUU and then run the secure flag command? I'm working with the 2.27 jhboot. After I do this can I upgrade OTA from the RUU?
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
yes. but you dont need s on to do that. OTA will happen just fine s off,if thats why youre doing it.
[HTC Rezound] edc2:
lock-bootloader.zip

on the instructions it says to flash "lock_bootloader.zip". i havent seen many post mentioning they did that. just to be clear here i should flash that first in the recovery then run the RUU?
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
If you are unlocked,yes. if you did not reunlock after s off,then you are allready locked,and that step is not needed. If you want some reassurance you are locked,run the query zip and it will tell you your lock status.
[HTC Rezound] motodanr1:
Excuse the silly question but do I have to be s-off to run this? I have to return my rez for quality issues, I'm currently just have unlocked bootloader from HTC dev.... Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
yes. you need to be s off(p3 is write protected while s on)
[HTC Rezound] motodanr1:
Awesome! Thanks man! That's pretty much my only option right?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSake:
I’m having problems getting Text to speech to work on my Galaxy S2. I’ve tried Litening rom 2.7 and WanamLite 11.1. When I go into 'Language and input' settings, 'Text-to-speech output' then go to 'Install voice data' in the Google and Samsung programs the 'Install voice data' is greyed out and I can’t install it.

I’ve did complete wipes, before installing the Roms. Everything else seems to be working perfectly. I’m currently running WanamLite 11.1 and Siyah kernel 3.1 rc6.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,

Let's say if I buy a smartphone of ebay (which before you toot your horn I know it is definitely not the preferred source for good phones) or Amazon that was a CDMA Sprint phone, and the phone was used, would I be able to get it onto my current Sprint number without having to be locked in for 2 more years? Cause I linked it with my existing line? Or could I even do that.... :confused:

I really just joined so I don't want to sound like an idiot... :o

you can call them up and then they can just activate service to that phone... they will vharge you an activation fee though....but no new 2 year contract ive done it

I've got the file link from http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ in the thread [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection but it's not working.

I tried searching on Google but I couldn't find it.

I am really in need of the file.

Thank you very much :(

Hey ptviet, unfortunately it looks like it's not available. I've had a look myself and couldn't find it. Posts about this previously haven't been successful either. Only ruu I could find was a Vodafone au one but it was only for the regular sensation.

A few people are holding out for an Ruu from Vodafone from ics.

Sorry I couldn't be of help but looks like we are out of luck.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What phone and firmware do you have?

:)
[HTC Sensation] ptviet:
Hi malibru,

My phone is HTC Sensation XE and I'm currently running ARHD 6.6.3 XE 3.32.401.105_R but I wanna flash the vodafone AU stock ROM because I wanna take it to customer service due to dirt under screen problem. The one I'm looking for is :

RUU_Pyramid_LE_Voda-Hutch_AU_1.73.862.3_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.903 5.02_2_release_222667_signed.exe

that is what was once running on my phone when I bought it. It's GB not ICS. I tried looking for it but all links are broken. Voda AU ICS stock ROM is not available yet I think. Do you have any idea about a safe way to return the phone? I think the important things are Vodafone's boot animation, stock ROM and locked bootloader and S-ON. I've read information on how to get S-ON, I can lock the bootloader again by following HTC Dev instruction but I cant manage to get the Vodafone's bootanimation and stock ROM for my phone.

If you have any file that could help me I really appriciate it :)
[HTC Sensation] ptviet:
Thank rickadlee, if you can manage to get the vodafone au gb/ics stock ROM please let me know :(

Hello, everyone.

I know there are already many threads about wallpapers in our sensation section. But it seems that most of them are 540*960. but as we all know, most launchers(except htc sense 3.0/3.5/3.6) need 1080*960 wallpapers.:)

Then, here is my wallpapers collection! (204 pics)

all 1080*960! So every picture i provide you can be your wallpaper no matter what launcher you are using.

Most pics are from google. Thanks, Google

Maybe some pics are from other wallpapers collections, so if that is from your thread, just let me know(PM or just reply me), then i could give you credits~:D

Hello everybody,

Since the stock launcher can't hide app's, i have to look for another launcher.

I tried Laucher Pro, but that doesn't look like the stock launcher.

Next i tried Nova launcher, it was almost perfect, only the app and settings icon are next to each other, which is a bummer

There are others i didn't try yet.

So what launcher is everybody using.

And more important why that launcher, and not an other one?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
I use Go Launcher on my Phone, amazing launcher, sadly the HD (tablet) version is nowhere near as good as the Phone version yet. It is in Beta version tho, and they are working fast on it, but for the time being is meh.

Tried almost all other Launchers that you posted there, and there was always something that I really hated from them, and most of them lagged badly when the Prime was in Eco Mode (Stock one does not lag at all, even with Live Wallpapers)

I found out that the one with best Performance in Eco Mode, and allowed to have better transition effects and such was ADW Launcher EX, Stock is still faster, and Im not 100% happy with the App drawer from ADW (Stock one rocks) but since I organized everything using the "HUBS philosophy" I rarely access the App drawer anymore :)

Some Widgets do not scroll correctly in ADW, if this happens to you, be sure to scroll using 2 fingers and not one :P (Not sure if it is a bug or feature). This does not happen with all scrollable widgets tho.

I love SPB Shell 3D and it works perfectly on both the TF101 and TF201.

Why I use it,

up to 16 home screens,

drag and drop to rearrange the home screens,

I like and use the specialized widgets ship with the launcher (wish they'd open up the API for those)

Carousel to move quickly from one home screen to a "far away" screen

It's not quite as customizable as ADW but I very much like the look and feel. The only real downside is the $15 price tag, and no free/trial version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I've used sob mobile shell 3d on prime. I tested it out ;) it is a really good launcher. I love the carousel and the customized widget pages they have that comes with the launcher. then add in the fact you can easily swap or move the different screens around is an added bonus. its a launcher like no other. I may eventually buy it down the road.

Like the ICS stock browser? Then you shall use "ICS Browser+"

If you like the original ICS stock browser is ICS Browser+ proberly the best browser out the there. Its look like and work like the original browser but adds many handy extra functions. Notice that you can make panel quick controllers with up to three rings and edit them all, as you like !

If you haved use Dolphin Browser you proberly used some plug-ins . I was only missing Dolphin Google Translate plug-in. but with ICS Browser + I instead use Web Translator Pro. Just mark text and touch "share". Then you share with Web Translator and immediately you have the site in a new language.

By PC Magazine selected as one of "The 10 Tastiest Apps for Ice Cream Sandwich" Based on the stock ICS browser, this browser adds many handy extra functions:

* Auto text reflow after pinch to zoom * Option to create extra quick controls (with easy to use quick controls editor. Add up to 3 rings, with extra controls like bookmark page, close other tabs, share etc etc) * Possibility to set the User Agent string * Fine tune quick controls behavior * Option to use volume keys for scrolling * Home button on action bar for tablets * Gesture support. More and more functions will be added along the way.
