Not necessarily... just don't update to KA13 if this worked for you on KA12.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
I unlocked my rezound and rooted it, but I'm on stock rom. I'm going to revert back to stock recovery in preparation for OTA.

Is there a guide on how to do it?

Do I need to lock bootloader before flashing stock recovery back?

I would hope hasoon2000 would add flashing stock recovery to his all-in-one toolkit.

Thanks

ps. I can't post in development yet. So i'm posting here in general.
[HTC Rezound] mchlwvr614:
You can pull the stock recovery out of an RUU and replace the recovery image in a amon recovery flashable zip. That is what I will be doing. If you are still s-on I do think you will need to re-lock.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
you could do that or take the stock recovery and do the fastboot command

fastboot flash recovery Namehere.img

and then relock bootloader for OTA
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
you do not need to be relocked to take the OTA.

ive OTAed a couple times with an unlocked bootloader.

the important things are:

-stock recovery

-more or less stock rom(not modded to porevent OTAs)

thats it.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
I removed couple VZW apps and added su akp(rooted).

Do I need to restore those?

BTW I did quadrant before and after and I can't believe it. It jumped from 2000 to 2500. Is this expected?
[HTC Rezound] piizzadude:
You could always skip the hassle and just flash the OTA packages that will come out 20 minutes after it is released... Give or take an hour.

Charged up post!
[HTC Rezound] scotty1223:
no,not really. my first rezound OTA snuck in on me with an unlocked hboot and a few vzw apps frozen.

*shrug* i wouldnt place to much importance in quadrant scores. you could have run it twice without doing anything and gotten as big a difference ;)

i would run it several times and take the average. but even then dont get too caught up in the numbers verses real world how fast/smooth your phone feels.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Trust me I have done it on average bases. I know the score does not mean anything, but it fills that my phone runs better without those.
[HTC Rezound] sajmonides:
Now how exactly do you pull stock recovery out of a RUU? Or does someone have a link to the stock recovery file?
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Just google it. I can't post link that somebody made. I did it yesterday and it was easy.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Looked in the last RUU(latest ota version) and didn't see a recovery.img. Did it not change from the original ruu?
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Here is the link http://db.tt/tw5m33ZG

try it.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
Thanks, will try it tonight. Is this from the 2.01 ruu? I still have the old original recovery that I can flash easily enough to. Assumed maybe there wasn't a new recovery.
[HTC Rezound] lepa71:
Yes, it is 2.xx.
[HTC Rezound] ksizzle9:
Its been quite some time since I've had a HTC and needed to revert back to stock to accept it, wouldn't it be just the same to wait till it drops, then just flash a pre rooted version from the debts?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
IMO just wait after the OTA has been released. If you have soff there is no reason to do any special roll backs as I'm pretty sure a Dec here will come out with a flash able you can run to get the update.
[HTC Rezound] sajmonides:
So can you use the OTA while having S-OFF?
[HTC Rezound] mthornto88:
Can someone post a new link? The dropbox link is gone now.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Yup just wait for a dev to do a ph98img or patched hboot + radio

I've installed Chrome Beta and it seems pretty sweet. One of the reasons I installed it was, I want to be able to carry on from where I left off on my updated (desktop) bookmarks..when out on my mobile!

Graphical emoticons are driving me crazy, I usually disable them on all my devices and softwares. I am shocked that can't be done in the stock SMS app :(

Any way to disable them? Like deleting them from the respective APK?

Not only are they ugly, but for example ":o*" is translated into something... I don't even know what....

Yes, I hate them so much I'm even willing to go for another SMS app just because of this...

Guys, I have read in engadget that a developer ported the android version by replacing the java code with C#. CLaims that it increased speed and battery usage to a great extent, because C# is more machine friendly than JAVA.

Does any one has more information ? Can this be somehow used for any of our builds. Just a thought.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ranteo:
Since yesterday, my screen has been flickering randomly, sometimes till the whole screen turns black. To resolve this, I have to do a battery pull and restart.

How can I go about checking if this is hardware or software? It doesn't happen on any specific app. But, if it's hardware then it wouldnt be good after a battery pull right?

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Emmanuel U:
have you tried a different rom?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
You could always do a full reset and see if that cures the issue.

However, just because a battery pull fixes it, that doesn't rule out hardware. The act of taking the cover off (assuming you're doing that), removing/replacing the battery, and putting the cover back on does jar the device a bit. If you've got a loose connection or cable going bad, that could be enough to coax it into working for a bit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ranteo:
Yea, switched a different rom but still the screen flickers.

what do you mean by a full reset? Restore to stock rom?

After trial and error, I realize the screen flickering stops when the keyboard slides out. No screen flickers happen when the keyboard is slide out. Does this most definitely mean it is a hardware problem?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 2G1J:
My screen was doing this yesterday as well. I'm thinking about going back to stock and getting it replaced since I also have a few dead pixels.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ranteo:

If it's any similar to the HTC mytouch 3g slide, it sounds like your flex cable is about to go out. If you have a warranty, back it up and get it replaced. If not, back it up and upgrade or try to replace the flex cable. Good luck.

I tried to wipe everything off my phone. I booted into Clock recovery. This is what I did: Wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Wipe Dalvik cache

Format /data

format /system

format /cache

format /emmc

format /sdcard

Because I want to get rid of everything inside my phone and then I sell it to someone.

I downloaded some roms and put it into my sd card. But obviously, what I get is "Couldn't open directory. No files found"

I tried backup and restore and install zip from sdcard. But the result is the same.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
So i was playing Rage of Bahamut, and i think my phone had enough.

The game locked up my entire phone at least 30 times in the past 2 days.

The last one had my phone in "safe mode" and upon reboot all my settings widgets folders and etc are gone

So what happened? What can i do? Why is this game so fubar for my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
It would be difficult to say without knowing how your phone is configured. I've been playing for about a week and have had no problems.

One thing I've noticed is that the phone will get quite hot if I play while connected to AC while playing. But I guess that's to be expected. I have SetCPU set to performance governor and 1200MHz when plugged into a power source. I also have AutomateIt set to turn the screen to full brightness when plugged in.

Could overheating be your problem? If you're sometimes playing while plugged in (to conserve battery, as I am) you might consider using USB instead of AC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The Boxinator:
I have been also playing this game for about 2 weeks. No problems... Wait Okay, let me explain my scenario. When i was playing the game on AOKP I experienced the heating problem mentioned above and swapped roms as I thought it was the rom. I uninstalled the game and used AOKP fine for a bit then re installed it and the heating persisted. So I swapped roms to MIUI V4. The problem has been gone ever since <3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I I really don't think my phone is heating up that much.

I've had some games heat my phone to 113 fahrenheit - and sometimes during gaming and charging I'd reach 131 fahrenheit.

I use to use a profile in setCPU that would lower my CPU from 1.6 to 1.2 or something if the temperature got up about 45 degrees celsius but stopped using it because it made my games lag

I don't think my cpu goes above 105 degrees while playing Rage of Bahamut
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tado888:
Try to bring it to the service center and have t checked:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
Well, it was just a suggestion as to a possible cause. Not knowing how your phone is even set up makes it hard to hazard a guess. Like I said, I have had zero problems with this phone while running RoB.

I was looking at market reviews of the game, narrowed down to our device, and out of four pages of reviews there was only one mention of a GS2 locking up repeatedly.

I think that if your phone hasn’t brick yet is because you don’t like to experiment or take risks.

My favorite quality of android is that you don’t have necessarily use what others have made for you as they design it, you can mix options and get something unique and adapted to what you want, developers give you characteristics but you can always mix them, put things, take others… that’s why you can find a lot of mods based in others like cm or even stock roms.

And anyway, what are the chances of really bricking the phone by using recovery?
