try and flash again, if it doesn't stick, then try again. If it gives you an error report the error. Try what mansa_noob posted, it usually works for everyone, it fixes everything (partition and issues) and then flashes the recovery for you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
Well, I've been gathering up the money to unlock my bl. Here's the problem though, should I unlock it, then flash the 2.3.4 ftf, or upgrade then unlock?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
You could Unlock your BL first because Alejandrissimo can set you up so you can still OTA with an unlocked bootloader all in one session with him. But theres no reason you cant OTA now and then unlock later.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
I read that the bootloader unlock method might have been patched with that update.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
You could always be the first to test that ;)

Kidding, if thats the case, then you could ftf back to 2.3.3 when you wanted to unlock, unless that wouldnt work either? Probably best to just unlock then update I guess
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
Ya I'm gonna stick with 2.3.3 for a while, until I get the last couple of bucks to unlock.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beez1717:
I'm now wondering exactly which method to use to unlock my BL on my r800x. Any guide someone has written that is current?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
There are only paid versions :( , Contacting Alejandrissimo would be your best bet!

Hello XDA, I'm sure there are somewhat similar threads for other devices, but they didn't seem to answer my question (at least in my opinion) and there wasn't a thread for this when I looked through the section.

I have a crapload of files in my SD Card and recently after trying out many roms and having titanium backup fail on me multiple times, i've been downloading and wiping apps frequently. My SD does have files that I've placed in there like images and music, but it definitely shouldn't be taking up as much space as it is currently. Are there any methods of successfully removing whatever is extra on my card? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Or mount the device to your computer and start deleting files

Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bri.kwong94:
That's the problem, I don't know what's safe to delete and what isn't.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
You can delete everything the computer sees. The whole sd card. Android will remake the necessary information

Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ce3jay:
If you used Apps2sd, you should move them to the phone storage. If you have any rom backups, definitely transfer it over to your pc, along with anything else you backed up. Everything else can be wiped off of the card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T3hPWN:
Well this is another rant by someone nearly bricking their device now its my turn. This is more of a heads up than anything. I was running CM9 Beta3 and decided the icons at the bottom of the launcher were just not working for me (visually) they were to big so i decided to search for a density changer..... Well I found one it ran and made it seem like i was going to have my density changed. Unfortunately upon reboot CM never started up :-( I decided id go back into my rouge recovery and just wipe data and flash again....

nope..

that f*$#ing ICS recovery with the big android in the background with gears in its stomach...

Ok so i'm pissed at my self now what a dumb ass....

so i figured ahh ill just push a recovery via adb...

well did that but for some reason didn't work :-( Strange i have done this a few times before on my old evo...

well make along story short i had to ODIN the the phone back to stock.

So now I leave you with my crappy little story about not using a density changer on the market. unless you want to erase the damn phone and start all over again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
:p glad you got it fixed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Just edit your build.prop yourself next time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Read more, look on the bright side this will be a good learning experience. This is why phones don't come with root access straight from the manufacturer. It should be safe to set your density down to 200, anything below 200 you will need to download or flash a modified phone.apk

Try looking into theme's and mods section, I normally give a link but sometimes it's good to practice searching also. Don't take this the wrong way though. I had a couple close calls myself with my first phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T3hPWN:
thing is this isnt my first phone as a matter of fact i usually do everything via adb shell but i been taking the easy road letting these auto root packages do all the work lately so when **** hit the fan i was like fk :-( I didnt want to go through all that code just to figure out what went wrong. It is a hard lesson learned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
what app did you use? rom toolbox never failed me.. never set it below 190 except when i used the tablet UI mod and it just fcd until i could flash the .zip. i rebooted phone with it set to 128 and it booted lol

Edit: did set it to 160 with modified phone.apk also

Have you guys found any good arm band for the One S?

I'm currently looking at this one (amazon.com/ Tune-Belt-ThunderBolt-smartphones-protective/dp/B003ZJGZ8O)

, wonder if it would be a good fit since the reviews are pretty positive (but they're for other phones).

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] belyle:
Aren't arm bands pretty much universal? I mean, as long as you get one that's big enough for the phone, it's gonna work for all phones.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sjmoreno:
it's cheap and washable.

check this out.

Cheap simple washable armband
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Looking for one for the One X (not sure if this is what you meant in the OP, but you said S). I dont think any specifically for the X exist yet, but has anyone tried anything else for other larger phones? Would be nice to find one where the headphone jack lines up. If there are non, I may have to get crafty...

If you flashed a one package firmware , the ext4 filesystem would not be supported , hence resulting it being unable to boot up + the leftovers in /data and /cache make it hard for Froyo

Well with the new announcement, I guess I posted these at just the right time...
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
Do you really have to sign up to download the file???
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I see that... I'll re-host on dropbox and update the links tonight.
[HTC Sensation] hd2Raz:
So...downloading the zip and flashing thru the bootloader should get me back to a stock tmobile gingerbread rom? thanks for the clarification.

I'm on inquisition with 3.32 firmware and really need my wifi calling back.

thanks!

Alright bro, thanks, much appreciated :)

do i need s-off i have it htcdev unlocked

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

but its bricked during juopunut bear process and can only go to recovery and bootloader and when i try to flash stock rom and boot.img (seprately) it doesnt go through
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
At GROGG88 great idea, with the stupid file sharing situation like it is, it is definitely good to have other places to get files like this. I currently have to go fix my link to the Google Drivers in the HD2 NAND toolkit thread in the HD2 NAND Android forum as I just found out that I get the dreaded FBI Anti-Piracy Warning message when you click on it.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Both files have been uploaded to my dropbox. Links in the OP have been updated...
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Just boot into Hboot and then run the RUU as administrator. If you want to flash it via recovery you will have to re flash the stock recovery via ADB fastboot commands. Then you can flash it with recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
If you would like your apps to auto Install I would suggest downloading the Google Play Store apk and put it on your SD Card and install after you setup your google account before you agree to the teams of Service in the outdated android market
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
So this will automatically flash the right firmware and everything and not lose S-Off correct?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yes. It will return the device to a out of the box state...
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Ok thanks bro, I just changed my CID back to t-mobile was that needed? Also could I still root or do I need to stay stock in order to get the OTA?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Keep T-MOB010 cid...

Conflicting reports as to whether or not you can use the OTA with root. If it fails then delete /system/superuser.apk and /system/bin/su

I have not tried running an OTA with root so I cannot say for certain if it will fail.

Either way, you'll need to reinstall a custom recovery and either superuser or supersu after the update.
[HTC Sensation] strauss0829:
So exactly how do we do this lol ...Im S-Off with SuperCID and running 3.32 FW and ICS rom I have DL'ed both files and all I want is to be able to OTA when it comes ?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Guides can be found... HERE
[HTC Sensation] strauss0829:
Im flashing the RUU now and seems to be fine now the final step is changing the CID back to TMOB US how do you do that from stock
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
That is what I just did....... Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

Used the PG58IMG.zip version ran Rev. to have full unlocked bootloader ie S=OFF and changed CID back. :D:D great file to have around when you need it, I think this post should be a sticky.:D:D

THANKS MAN
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I tried... I was denied. :p
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
WTF ........... well still a great post .....
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
I agree - would make a great sticky.

To get back to the last gingerbread nandroid that I have, am I better off flashing the OP's RUU than flashing the Revolutionary 1.17.1111 firmware?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
You'll know everything is set, but you'll also loose all your data and settings... Basically a factory reset.

Sent from my Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
That's fine -I don't mind going back to factory. My main goal is to get my gingerbread nandroid restored that I have.

Would I also be losing 4EXT by flashing the RUU?

And to confirm -device will still be S-OFF after RUU?

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] Sinistra425:
So have we heard anything the update? Read through the topic on tmous site I see nothing has changed other then wi-fi calling issues are still the hold up
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You will lose 4EXT, but you will keep S-off.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
If you're looking to restore your nand backup then flash the 1.17 firmware package and restore your backup from 4ext recovery.

If you have 4ext recovery controller then you can:

1. Place firmware zip on root of sdcard.

2. Use 4ext recovery controller to boot into recovery.

3. Restore your GB backup.

4. Use recovery power menu to reboot into bootloader.

5. Press power to select bootloader from fastboot menu.

6. Volume up to accept firmware update and wait for it to finish.

7. Press power when prompted to reboot device.

Without 4ext recovery controller you can simply replace step #2 with:

2. Connect with adb and type:

adb reboot recovery

Either way you avoid a battery pull... Just make sure that the 1.17 firmware has the correct mid and cid before you proceed. :)
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
That's still only speculation... I think there may also have been issues with TMOUS trying to protect the built in tethering options. Someone on ARHD posted an issue where they were being prompted to purchase a tether plan when trying to view full websites with the built in browser option...

Basically, anything they decide to tinker with can probably be considered performance restrictions vs. enhancements. Next thing you know they'll charge for wifi calling!

Regardless, the package has been approved by TMOUS so in theory everything should all be working properly. We are just waiting for the release at this point...
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
OP updated to address download issues...
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If you would like me to I will upload the ROM to my Dev Host account for you and PM you the link to it. Just let me know.
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
I have the 1.50.531.1 RUU for TMOUS in my dropbox too since long ago. If you'd like, I can share a link for the people here. Dropbox stops traffic after a lot of downloads from 1 link.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Thanks, T-Macgnolia is going to dev host them for me along with a stand alone recovery. I should have links back up soon!
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
Ok boss. This is great though, file factory was a nightmare to get a free download slot, and after that, the download speed was slow as a turtle.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Just to let everyone know, GROGG88 sent me download links for the files last night. I got the files downloaded on my laptop last night but had to go to sleep before I could upload them to Dev Host, I do have a day job lol. As soon as I get home from work I will be uploading the files and giving GROGG88 the download links si he can post them.

At GROGG88, the download link you sent me for the recovery shows it as being a zip file but it is open with the text file and the recovery image having separate download links and it is no download for just the zip file.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
When you're at the download page for the recovery you can click "File" on the top left and select "Download" from the dropdown menu,

or

you can simply use Ctrl+S to automatically start the download...

For some reason Google Drive shows the contents of the compressed folder and allows you to download individual components as an option. Nice feature I suppose...
[HTC Sensation] carolinaguy99:
can someone email me the files?
[HTC Sensation] tragik74:
try this link

393.35 MB
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
For those that do not know what MID and CID is. MID stands for Model Identification, and CID stands for Carrier Identification. Just thought I should point that out.

Also just to further inform everyone Dev Host is giving me fits for some reason about uploading anything. I let the RUU file upload for over three hours last night and finally had to shut it down when it got stuck at 78%. I actually tried FireFox and Google Chrome both and it did not help. I will give it another try this evening when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
To everyone: Links are back up hosted from my Google Drive account. This is a temporary solution and they will be replaced once T-Macgnolia is able to sort out issues with dev host. :)
[HTC Sensation] carolinaguy99:
GENTLEMAN..... thank you thank you thank you thank you, danke, gracias, thanks thanks thanks etc etc etc.

Place on root of sdcard and let it flash in bootloader. Don't rename it...

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2392
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Man I hope people really realize how much of a marketing ploy that is about having to sign up and pay for the WiFi Hotspot after upgrading. We all know that it has nothing to do with the OS update as we all can use it on the numerous 4.0.3 custom ROMs that are out there without having to sign up for it. That is just BS!

Anyway it is a good thing I got the file uploaded as they will surely be seeing a high level of downloads now that this annoucment has been made.

Sorta odd to that this is announced on my birthday.
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yes, it is total BS!! Amazing how a manufacturer builds in a device capability and the carrier finds a way to charge for it... I already pay for the data!!

can anyone tell me if I return to stock and s-on then update via ota will I be able to flash this ruu to get back to hboot 1.17 to obtain s-off via revolutionary?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
No you can not unless you HTC Dev unlock and the use Juopunutbear to S-off then you could revert. But then you are already S-off so why downgrade then?

Also you do not have to turn S-on to flash the update. You just need to have the 1.50.531.1 software and the stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
Thanks for the reply. I have a warranty issue. Dust under my screen. I want get that taken care of but I'm not sure its worth or not.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I had the very same issue and had mine repaired. It came back looking great. The only thing I have noticed sinse I got it back is that my search button seems much more sensitive now. I accidentally press it with the edge of my finger all the time when typing in landscape view. I never had that issue before I sent it in for repair. But I am glad I do not have the dust anymore. :D
[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
My conscience would be cleaner if I had it repaired. how much did this cost?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
It was free except for 15 USD for the shipping and handling. Mine was covered under warranty.
[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
I see. did you return to stock for the repair?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I did not have to cause I had put off flashing it as I wanted it fixed. But I put off calling HTC for as long as I could. If I would have been on a custom ROM I would have flashed back to complete stock and S-on.

If you have any more questions PM me. I do not want to hyjack this thread.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
I just flashed the stock recovery file posted here...everything seemed to run find....but after flashing...it won't reboot....the power button seem to be unresponsive....

So the only way it'l be responsive again now is if I pull the battery out and then put it back in...then the power button will power up again. This happened again after I turned off phone as I was trying to get into recovery to see if it's stock now....but it won't turn on unless I pull battery out.

It was working fine before..until I flash the stock recovery PMG file. Any ideas?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Go into Settings/Power and uncheck fastboot. This is why you can not reboot into recovery like you use to.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
It's turned off.. And it's not actually just going to recovery...I can't turn the phone on at all unless I pull the battery out first and then put it back it then power on.

I went into recovery after doing that..and it seems it is stock now...but I am not sure about the power button thing though!
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Are you holding it long enough? When the device is powered off there is a 1-2 press needed to power on...
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Hmm..it seems to be working again now. Yeah.. I was holding for a long time and actually even the charge light didn't turn on...scary...almost like when the phone died last time. But the comptuer does beep when it's pulled from USB or plugged in.

Anyway.. I think it's ok now...will just wait for the OTA tomorrow...and see how the new ROM is. Hope the tethering won't be completely locked as I am not even using it with T-mobile here!
