Exactly what is wrong with you? You've posted almost exactly the same thing to the guy who posted in the dev forum about battery stats. Yes, he's a noob, we get it. And yes, it is annoying to see the same questions being posted over and over again because people can't read. And yes, I agree that no one in their right minds should be thinking about messing around with ROMs and firmwares unless they know exactly what they are doing.

But seriously. Grow up. Unless you're telling me you were born out of your mother's womb with all this awesome tech knowledge in your head. If that's truly the case then, please, educate us ignorant mortals.

Now, to the OP: have you read this thread? If you haven't, please go read it properly. I have no idea what on earth you did, you need to give us a step-by-step list of the things you did. I suspect that all you need to do is delete PG58IMG.zip from your SD card and flash a ROM.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Are there posts the only things you can post? > http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25457315&postcount=2

Calm down and learn how to properly communicate with people.

Anyway, OP, I shall now describe what you must do:

1. Go to >this< guide and follow step 4 (STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]).

2. Download >this< ROM and put it on your SD card.

3. Boot into the bootloader (when the phone is off, press vol. down + power) and select the recovery option.

4. In the recovery go to 'wipe | format' and select 'format all partitions'.

5. When that process is done, go to 'install from SD card', 'choose zip from SD card', go to the folder where the ROM is located and install it.

6. When the ROM is installed reboot your phone and wait until it has booted.

EDIT: hunter890 just posted a link to a guide, but you can also follow what I wrote. Might be easier for you.

tnx for replay and try to help me ..

i install it and now i have 4ext recovery,,,,

but when i try to install OTA oyramid ics , it have error (status 7 )
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
This has been covered 100 times, you can't flash ota with custom recovery. You can flash stock recovery using fastboot, you need a stock recovery.img.
[HTC Sensation] kamrangun:
i have a recovery from my android gb ,so i try to recover it ....

after it successfully done and reboot ,it start to rebooting after htc logo ....

is it because fireware that i upgrade ? and if it so ,what should i do ?

how can i install ota file ?
[HTC Sensation] kamrangun:
i do this

and chang the name of ota file to PG58IMG . but at hboot when it checking the file ,noting happen .??!?!
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
That's very very very wrong. What you should do is just what I described on the previous page. The reason the ROM wouldn't boot was because you flashed the old Gingerbread version of ARHD which won't boot on HBOOT 1.27.

And I still don't understand why you want the untouched ICS from HTC. The versions here on the forum (as example ARHD I linked you to) are better optimized, have no bloatware etc.
[HTC Sensation] kamrangun:
ok..so its better that i use RHD version,,,

but i whant ota version because , i am in iran ,and google ban some service to iran ,,,,and i just only can use them buy having ota version ,and also ota version have better persian font . i would be sooo happy if u can help me to install ota files ,,,,anyways ,tanks for your help
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
ARHD is cooked out of the OTA package, so it contains the same languages and I'm sure you can use the same services.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin0025:
Hey everyone,

I've been playing around with some ICS roms (Energy and revolution roms) amd noticed that the battery life is AMAZING on idle/standby, but when using the phone, the battery drains VERY fast.

Are all the ics roms like this atm? Are you guys getting similar drains? I'm going to try another rom and see what happens in the meantime.

Here's a screen cap of my battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] darth_09:
i completely agree.i'd like to post in development but can't as yet(forum rules).i'm running arhd 2.2.1.s-off.my battery drains out approximately 6 and a half hours on moderate use(music etc.)i wonder if it's due to the stock kernel or as u said if ics is like this.apart from that the rom is solid and very ice.:D
[HTC Amaze 4G] sherman8or:
Same here, the only problem im having with the ics leak is the battery drains extremely quick. And I have my brightness all the way down.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
I'm on the Leak ICS and I haven't seen that problem... I think it's improved my battery since I've updated.. before I would have to swap batteries half way through the day.. now I just charge when I get home.. and I work 12 hours a day.. Monday to Saturday.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
After resetting battery stats this is what I saw and was impressed with. I have email set to auto sync from 7am to 6pm for work along with my gmail account, facebook set to sync once a day as I don't really care to be notified every time someone posts. Screen brightness set to auto, however this phone did not see sunlight on this day so I'm sure the screen was never maxed out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RobsSXT:
Ditto. The first day I was on the ROM I noticed a huge increase in battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin0025:
How did you reset the battery stats? I've got 4EXT installed as my recovery, and DID notice a "Wipe battery stats" option. Is that the same thing?
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
it is
[HTC Amaze 4G] auiotour:
Ill try wiping my battery stats, but i been getting really bad battery life since upgrading. down from 2-3 days to 6-12 hours.

edit: forgot to mention, i can't charge via USB anymore, as it says it does not provide enough power. It used to work just fine with same cable, same usb port on my computer at work. Now it can't charge, have to bring wall charger to work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
wow, that sucks. Personally I would wipe / reflash the ruu. then slowly add applications back. Not sure what apps you have running, I have about 150 installed, however I limit what can sync. there is a paid app called better battery stats that can help identify rouge apps too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Wow, with stock GB on TMO I got maybe 7 hours max. With stock ICS I got over 12 hours and was very pleased. I just flashed a yesterday, so I'm not sure what I'll get now, but from the drain it looks like about 20 hours or so with moderate usage. I suspect my normal day will be OK (about 16 hours).

I'm not having any problems with charging on the leak or NRG.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
What does wiping batter stats do? Is it more like just resetting a timer or does it do something more like recalibrate your battery so the phone doesn't shut down your phone prematurely due to a perceived lack of juice? (when there is actually still more juice remaining)

Edit myself: according to other posts, a Google engineer said it's a myth that this does anything useful.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
It is supposed to delete the battery statistics so that the device builds up an accurate battery stats file. If the stats file had statistics for a smaller battery (or poorer battery), it could be telling the OS that it was out of power when in fact power was still available. I can't speak to how well it works, but I do it whenever I flash a new ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Actually, I am not sure about that myth anymore. I had CWM installed and I flashed 4EXT. My battery died within 4 hours and I barely used it. I was at 55% and I had everything turned off as well as the screen, 5 minutes later, I was at 40%. The next day, I fully charged it to 100%, booted into recovery, and wiped the battery stats. My phone lasted for 17 hours without even charging it in the day.

I guess wiping the battery stats does work?
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Thank you! MrMako debated this with me... I called it the BEST DAMN PLACEBO EFFECT EVER... cuz it works

Sent from my iced out HTC Ruby
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
haha. Well I can confirm that it works. Oddly, it happened when I flashed the new recovery, but overall, the battery is ALOT better than ever!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
You know It's weird. Battery life hasn't been great on the custom ROMS the stock RUU seems to have the best battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamenramen:
Ditto--stock has the best battery life for me as well. Cache wiped, super wipe, dalvick wiped. everything wiped.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bdix:
Left my phone charger in the car last night. Before I went to bed my phone was at 3%. I expected for it to turn off at any min so I just laid it next to my bed. Woke up 7 hours later to my phone at 3%.... I received 4 text during that time, but was not read until morning.

Stock amaze no root or s-off with ics
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Tell the rom developer - I have gotten surprisingly little feedback on mine.. I tried flashing a few roms before I chose a base to work with, and the only one that didn't have any errors in the logcat, didn't have any wakelock issues, was Android Revolution HD. I've picked out every htc app I could constantly checking both logcat for errors and wakelock issues from rogue htc apps looking to keep the phone from deep sleep- and all is well.

But amazingly today someone using my rom(pdcrzylazy) posted this article on an easy flash that is supposed to "ten fold" battery life- I researched it, I made sure it flashed well.. and have had immediate big differences, even under heavy use.

There is specifically one process on how it handles memory that I think makes the biggest difference- but it HAS made a big difference! It flashes perfectly and I was able to confirm the settings took effect..

If anyone tries it you can run this command in terminal on the phone before and again after and you'll see the settings took.

sysctl -a| grep vm

The output is crazy long, so if you wanted to you can run it as an adb command - "adb shell sysctil -a > /whereeveryouwantit/name.txt"
[HTC Amaze 4G] Marquis63:
So you're saying this works on our Amaze without making changes to the file?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Yep, the updater script is as simple as can be:

The config file is right for our phone- as I said in the last post you can confirm it is working after flashing by comparing the config file to the output if you type in that command "sysctl -a| grep vm" or "adb shell sysctil -a > /whereeveryouwantit/name.txt" then looking at the file you decided to name it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] holeshot77:
so I tried to flash the xperia rom.. trying to restore it said there was an error. So I took sd card out and transferred te backup again. now, it just goes to the dual core screen if plugged in. Try to load fastboot and it doesn't work. never had this problem before. It said when I had it in fast boot when i took out the sd card that battery was low. But I had plugged it in. Charged it or thought I did and still, both volume buttons and power button and I don't get anything. Is it dead?
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
I don't think the phone is able to charge while on the boot screen. You may have to try the McGyver method found here! Also when you say that it doesn't show up on fastboot, do you mean it doesn't show up on RSD Lite? It may be because the battery is low...
[Motorola Atrix 2] holeshot77:
that worked for me. thanks for finding that. I appreciate it. Phone is back up and running now. :)

[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Hi,

Ever since I installed the [MINI|MINIPRO|ACTIVE|LwW] ExMIUIv4 2.4.13-r1 on my Xperia active, after a week or so I've been getting these random reboots. I am assuming those are reboots because when I look at the phone it wants me to punch in the SIM-PIN again, on the top of that it also asks me for the "SIM network unlock PIN" (on which I have to press the "Dismiss" button to get past). Neither of both issues have occurred with past ROMS.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions on the subject?

I've been looking for answers on the ROMS thread, but still haven't found someone with the same issue...(I might have missed it, though I'm still following the thread)
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
This might be the wrong place to post such a question, but rules are clear and won't let post under the that ROM's developer's thread...maybe one of you could post-forward my question to the guy's thread (the link above).
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Nothing still? Geez...
[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
Hi there!

I am not using MIUI, I'm using Spartan but I have recently started to experience the same thing.

It has happened from time to time in the past when using GPS software + loads of other apps but just recently it has started to happen extremely regularly and completely at random on my active too.

One trigger seems to be trying to get the phone to unlock after using GPS software, I slide the unlock toggle and boom, reboot.

I cannot say that I have fixed it at this stage but after reading a few threads this morning I have not had a reboot yet and I have been trying very hard.

What have I done so far: 1) Take out my sim card and rub it vigorously + ensure it is totally clean, reinserted my sim taking extreme care to ensure that it is properly seated. Do the same for the SD card to be on the safe side.

2) Put some paper between your battery and your phone.

This seems absolutely insane, I just bought this damn thing a couple of months ago and it is already screwed. I have tried factory reset + reflashing, numerous different roms and 2 kernels - it just will not stop rebooting now. Driving me insane.

Happened for the first time today whilst I was in a call. Not happy and I have blown my warranty by unlocking bootloader with testpoints :( :(

Please let me know if you get anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Hi,

What type of cellular phone do you have?

I fear that the problem does not lie within the phone, but in the ROM itself. I have a xperia active, and have not ever had any problems with it until I changed roms.
[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
My handset is an Xperia Active also.

There are a number of people experiencing this problem with the Active - many of them are using the latest stock firmware from sony and myself I am using Spartan rom - I do not believe it is specific to any one rom.

Somebody in another forum suggested it might be a problem with the .62 kernel base power management!

What are you usually doing with your phone when it reboots? A lot of us are having the problem when going into or coming out of power saving mode.

[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Well, last time it rebooted I just did things that I usually do: I surfed the web for a bit, then shut down the wifi, kill the tasks afterwards and went to bed. When I picked up the phone the next day I noticed it had been rebooted (it asked me for my SIMPIN). That's pretty much it...

Now the phone hasn't rebooted in a while, even though I still use it the same way that I did before.
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Hi again,

I didn't notice your link until now. I haven't had a reboot (that i know of) in a while now. But I'm gonna try out the battery insulation technique and see if that improves anything for me. I'll post the results as soon as I've tried it out!

Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Placing the paper between the phone and the battery seem to have helped! Thanks you! I am mentioning it to others and giving you the kudos for it.
[General Questions and Answers] bandario:
It has been so freezing cold here lately that I'm almost positive it is nothing to do with heat transfer of the battery.

I am using ExMIUI now too. Did you download the update that became available on the 12th?

Since flashing that update I have not had a single reboot. Not counting my chickens yet but fingers crossed.
[General Questions and Answers] Passburger:
Well the paper-trick did the trick for me, and yes I am running on the latest version of ExMIUI. So far no reboot for me either!

Dear Experts

I am first time android user, have rooted Droid 3 XT883 & installed Safestrap 1.08.

Later I came to know that it wont's work due to some partition issues.

Now safestrap 1.09 is available for droid 4, will it work on my device?

Also please tell me how shall I uninstall safestrap 1.08 without damaging my phone.

Thanx in advance
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Still Unanswered, please help

Please suggest, I am noob in this matter & can't try any dangerous stuff.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
use this one!

all the explanations are there also.

if you decide to uninstall safe strap, you go to the main ROM. and nothing bad happens. you just choose disable SAFESYSTEM from recovery, and open SAFESTRAP in phone menu, uninstall recovery...and thats it.
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Thanx but still unclear

your link directs to how to safestarp page which I have already gone through several time while downloading 1.08 & installing .

My question is that 1.08 doesn't support XT883 due to some issue with partition size, so shall I try 1.09 releases recently. On site it says it's for Droid 4 so I dont know if it will support droid 3 or not. I am afraid to try without any confirmation as I may brick it & I don't have any backup of ROM till now.

If 1.09 supports XT833 then please tell shall i just install the apk over 1.08 or shall i uninstall 1.08 first then install 1.09?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Droid 4 is a completely different phone. I wouldn't. I would tweet Hash if no one knows why here.
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Thanx Mr. Obivious

I have posted on his blog & will wait.

Thanx for your advise.
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
I have a working build of Safestrap 1.06 for ME863 that should also work for the other non-Verizon variants too.

Instructions are at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20976390&postcount=294 and the download's attached a little earlier in the thread, with more instructions.
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Thanx

So I have 1.08 installed on my 883, what I understood is that i need to unzip your file which contains two files (recovery & fixM3android.diff. Then I go to etc/safestrap & copy the 2nd-init.zip to my laptop. Extract it & replace the recovery file with yours & zip it again & replace the new 2nd-init.zip in phone /etc/safestrp folder & reboot. It will take the backup.

Few doubts :

1. Is there any chance that I may brick my phone by doing this?

2. Once backup is successful do I need to replace the original 2nd-init.zip for flashing another rom.

3. If i need to restore my original rom do i need to put back your's version of 2nd-init.zip

And many thanks to you for your help. All international droid 3 users shall get benefit if it works out well.

Edit : While zipping your version do I need to specify any specific compression method. As i faced while creating custom bootanimation for droid 3 that if you do a normal zip it doesn't work, it has to be selected store method in compression type.
[Motorola Droid 3] TBBle:
That sounds right.

I guess it's possible to brick your phone doing this, but I think if it goes wrong you can just battery-pull to bypass 2nd-init for the next boot, and reinstall safestrap normally.

I don't know the answers to the other questions as I don't know what changed between 1.06 and 1.08, and I don't know if restoring works with my code, let alone with stock 1.08.

Sorry, I only threw it together quickly, so it's not massively user-friendly at the moment. I was hoping hashcode or rick#2 would integrate it or something similar, and my version could quietly fade into the mists.
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Hii, It didn't brick my phone, I am able to do backup & restore, enable safe system & install another ROM but the new ROM always boots to Black Screen. I have tried CM7.2 & Maverick 4.5. Going to try 1 or 2 more ROMs mean while to make sure it's not ROM problem. Could you suggest something what could be the reason or any workaround.

Thanx
[Motorola Droid 3] NIGHTMARE-:
We have same issue. I think we have to install Verizon ROM with .906 then we can install any other ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Today I am gonna try few more ROMs with my tweaked safestrap, if it doesn't workout then I think we need to SBF with .906 & install safe strap then do it. But as I have heard on forums some features of XT883 ROM is comparatively good than others.

Please share if you find some other working solution.
[Motorola Droid 3] NIGHTMARE-:
Sure one of my friend having same problem, he well aware of android as compare to me. My primary device is iPhone, So I don't have such knowledge as compare to you also. We are looking into Gummy ROM let's see. And XT883 more stable than these ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] daniel0524:
Hey, I've been reading through everything I can find about the ME863. I've got Saestrap installed but I can't seem to get it to backup anything or to run any ROMs in safeboot after they've been installed. I have read your solution and done exactly what you say to. I copy over your recovery file then in ES File Explorer I copy over the 2nd-init to a new folder extract it delete the old recovery, put the new one in, compress it and then put it back in the original directory, (I leave the original renamed 2nd-init_original ) however when I go to boot to safestrap it just loads a black screen. Then I have yank out the battery reboot to the bastardization that is Chinese Android and put everything back and then safestrap goes back to sort of working (except not at all really). What am I doing wrong?
[Motorola Droid 3] singh.r:
Probably the problem is your in zip, I also went through the same. Do as below

1. Install safestrap 1.08 on your phone

2. Copy /etc/safstrap/2nd init.zip to your PC. (file size 1.13 mb)

3. Extract it with winrar to some folder

4. delete the recovery file

5. copy TBBie recovery in folder

6. select all files & zip it to 2nd-init.zip (don't ZIP the folder, that's what mistake i had made & had same problem)

7. verify that zip size is 1.19 mb & when you open it in browser you see files not any folder.

8. replace the tweaked zip with original in etc/safestrap

9. set permission & ownership as original

10. Reboot & you shall be good.

Is there anything i can say that will get me a new phone in box from the carrier using my warranty(I have virgin in Canada).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Surely the rules of the warranty and local consumer laws decide that .

In most cases its a repair job not replace and would also depend upon the nature of the fault .You would have to argue the case with the phone vendor that the phone is not fit for purpose and that you would not be happy with a repair . But again that is relevant to the nature of the fault and time of use .
