[HTC Sensation] cashman0712:
Ok, so after following everything on here I have root on my stock ICS Sensation on T-Mobile's network. But now I want to flash Virtuous Inquisition on here, and I believe my firmware is a higher number than the firmware for the ROM. Do I need to have the same exact firmware to flash?

And also, after enabling smart flash, does that mean I still have to extract the boot.img every single time I want to flash a ROM, or only when I want to flash a different kernel?

And what about CID? I do not know what that means but I have seen several posts on the forums about it. Can anyone provide any info on what it might be and whether or not it is useful?

Thanks for the great Guide!!!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
as long as firmware is 3.32.xx.xx the other numbers doesnt matter

so you are fine

see if you flash the recovery using the step 2 ...of the guide ..then the smart flash is temporary

meaning..when ever you flash a rom/kernel (or what ever mod that touches the boot partition) ..you need to go to recovery ...then enable smartflash ...then flash the rom/kernel/mod

to make the smartflash permanent (meaning no need to enable the smart flash whenever you are flashing)

you need to get the 4EXT recovery controller (paid app in market) or recovery updater from here ( you need to get the apk to sdcard of your phone and then need to manually install it ) ...then update/reinstall the recovery again through the app ...and during the process when asked "whether you are SON" say yes ..and that's all ..now smart flash is permanent

CID = carrier identification ..this is required when going stock ( to identify the stock rom for that carrier and country as this is an international phone ) ...and custom roms don't check for this..so doesn't matter for you now
[HTC Sensation] cashman0712:
So I should all fine then, just check to see if I have smartflash enabled before flashing?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes.. You just need to check for smartflash (and I'm 99% sure it won't be enabled by default) if it's not enable it and flash it that's all

Rooting HTC Sensation

Can I download any custom ROM with this (e.g. OrDroid). As when you rooted you used (Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox) and this might only work for ARHD ROMs? And what is CID and do we need to pay attention to this while rooting and flashing ROMs (especially when going back to stock)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes for ordroid rom

And you can use the root tool of ARHD for rooting any rom (but all custom roms comes pre rooted)

Regarding cid.. And how it's used to get back to stock.. Chk this thread

can I do this on a MacBook? but I did something similar (unlocking bootloader) on my One X... that one, had a folder I could download called "One X Root", and inside is al the fastboot and adb stuff...

if I wanna get the same thing here, i need to download it right? ah complicated...
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ohh if you got adb and fastboot for Mac book running. Then you can very well use them.. To do this process.. Also get htcsync for mac.. As that is required for drivers purpose

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] waterballoon:
just to check... adb and fastboot for mac is same for all htc phones right? if so i can reuse the one i have from onexroot.com.

so is the process the same? i reboot into fastboot mode, unlock bootloader, flash the boot.img and clockwork mod?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes you can use adb anv fastboot of any Android phone

And yes the process is same except the recovery.. As the OP said you need 4EXT recovery which has smartflash and is quite helpful I flashing ROMs with SON

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] waterballoon:
oh wow thanks agian! so basically, i have adb and fastboot with me now.

i just need to reboot into fastboot on sensation, unlock bootloader, dump the unlock code.bin thingy into the folder, then do the usual right?

just that instead of pushing CWM, i will push the 4EXT? this sounds doable now.. thank u again
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Just follow the guide to the letter.. And at the end you will come out with flying colors :D

iv just unlocked my bootloader using htc-devs method and then used revolutionary-0.4pre4 to turn on s-off on my sensation xe, being the phone came with gb pre installed, do i need to change any radios or change my partition to anything to run any ics roms ? im trying to install the miui ics rom.

any help or advice would be a god sent! stuff change a lot :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
As you are coming from gb..

You need latest firmware first to run ics roms..

Read the guide "a must read for noobs who wants to enjoy ics" or something which is a sticky in q & a thread itself.

That'll explain you and guide you until you install ics rom's
[HTC One X] elgrand:
I have rooted and flashed CoreDroid rom now, but when I use the apps to open Youtube and game like "Jewelw Star", my One X freezed and started to reboot. Do anyone know the reason, and please suggest what can I do now. I once want to restore to the official HTC rom of One X, but I can't find it here, anyone can help? Thanks a lot!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
firstly did you backup your previous rom once you rooted? if not for future reference make sure you do backups my friend. go into settings-battery and untick fastboot. then come out and reboot and see if that works.

other option you can try is clear the cache and data of the apps that cause you problem. settings-apps click on the app that you want to clear cache and data and then force close and reboot.

not sure about flashing official stock roms on the HTC. i just made sure i had my stock rom that came with the phone all backed up. but check into the development section and there are guides that would help you with that if that is the last cause of action mate
[HTC One X] elgrand:
Thanks a lot, but the two options you provided can't fix my One X's error, still rebooting, just have downloaded the file "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_HK_1.26.708.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251215_signed.exe" but don't know how to flash this "exe" file, can you show me how... Thanks again buddy!!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
hey sorry for the late reply. regarding flashing RUU i am not to sure as i am still kinda new on the HTC scene. best bet check the development section and on the stickies you have guides that are helpful. hope you sort it out:)

Alright so heres my issue. i soft bricked my htc desire hd. i have backups for my stock and cm7 on my sd card. but thats not the issue. every time i go to hboot it wants to update my radio b/c of the zip on my sd. updating the radio or not, it reboots right to the soft brick. so i cant restore any roms that were stable. any ideas to get past this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrekmichalski:
Do u check for errors on eMMC? Maybe this is problem? (DHD and similiar phones, like Vision have eMMC chip, which like damage himself). On XDA you can find tutorial for check eMMC.

And next, what is version of your hboot, and radio which you want to flash are not older than existing radio? Maybe... You can try to flash via fastboot from ur PC, upload radio.img to folder with fastboot, open CMD, go in CMD to folder which have this files [for example, if u have this folder on desktop, in folder "fastboot", u should write "cd desktop\fastboot"], and next run "fastboot flash radio radio.img" [if ur radio file have radio.img name]

Sorry for my language. I'm very beginner in english, because im young, from Poland, and never learn english (only myself in home).

I writing this to get 10 helpful post, i have new tutorial for root and S-OFF Desire HD with 3.13.xxx software, which i can't root with any tools.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Sorry, I don´t actually get what the issue is. There´s not such thing as a soft brick..you are bricked or not. Anyway, just erase the PD98IMG.zip file in the sdcard, try to get to recovery and flash a custom rom. That should get you back to a working state...:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrekmichalski:
Awwwww.... sorry, i misunderstood...

U DON'T want to flash radio...

Exactly as @up, you should delete all files what start name from PD98xxxx.xxx and go to recovery. Anyway, you can try to flash complete original ROM (BUT ONLY OLD VERSION!) via fastboot, should work
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrainwrecK518:
to be more specific..

how to i delete the radio update zip from my pc. the brick isnt allowing me to mount my sdcard..if i could delete the .zip then i could flash a cm7 backup..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglittlegato:
If you don't have a card reader for your pc, you can remove the card from the phone until you get to recovery. After recovery starts you put the card back in the phone. Go to mounts and storage to mount the card. From there you should be able to restore whichever backup you would like.

Hi guys!

I just got a request from Chiefy asking me to Backport ArcKnight Kernel to GB, and so it could also provide support to those of you who don't want to Upgrade to ICS yet.

So here I am asking the community if you think it is worth it to backport the Kernel and if also you're are willing to support my work :) at the moment my main computer got broke and I'm stocked with a pentium 4 3Ghz CPU with 1GB of RAM. But when I run Ubuntu through VMware player I can only use 512MBs of Ram and it's a pain ** ** *** to compile like that and it will be really difficult for me to maintain two kernels with so low specs computer.

Would you like me to backport it? :D
[Xperia Arc General] king-iyokan:
Yea that would be great..
[Xperia Arc General] terranox:
I think, its better than you focus in ICS. GB have a good doomkernel. ICS dont.

[Xperia Arc General] JSS³:

Hello friend!

First, congratulations for the beautiful work.

Use your kernel with rom ICS and am very pleased.

In my opinion I think it would be very interesting to port the ArcKnigth Gingerbread. Mainly because I still prefer, and I believe there are still many like me, Gingerbread roms to be faster and more functional.

Au support!

Thank you!

Swype incorporates dragon dictation which *may* at one time have been better than Google's own voice dictation features, but not today!

As most of us now running the ICS variants on the Amaze know, Google's built-in voice dictation is incredible. I know when using Swype you can pull down the notification tray and select "Google Voice Typing", but it's not as convenient as pressing the mic button on the swype keyboard.

Anyway know of a hack to have Swype's built-in mic button launch Google Voice Typing instead of Swype's own dragon dictation?

I agree, need to swap out Dragon for Google's voice dictation within the Swype app. Swype is great + Google voice dictation = great droid typing

I was performing a nandroid backup when then the progress line stopped. I let it sit for over 4 hours and the line did not move. The phone was locked up. I took the battery out to reset the phone and now it will not turn on. I tired several different key comobs, including volume up+down and power, with no efffect. When I plug it in it does nothing. I was using ISCrewD with the Siyah kernal now for a couples months with no issues. That was actually the only custom rom I ever flashed to the phone, loved the rom. From reading the forums, it seems I am hard bricked. How did that happen? Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojo_whit3:
Do you remember what version of Siyah you were using? I read recently that 3.1RC6 had a major bug in it that was hard bricking people's phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gandalf21502:
Version 2.6.13.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
OP, you must have done something weird (or power loss) during the backup as there is no way nandroid backup in CwM causing hardbricking.

jojo, that version of Siyah was for ICS, the OP ran GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxy_Cat:
no, it's for GB, just checked G's site. However, there are 4 download entries, one of which is the Korean based (possible bricker). What's more, G could've rebased the ATT version from the Korean... I'd be amazed if, after all the bricking going on, he'd still have a download for it. Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
For real? Siyah 3.1.rc6 is for GB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You were doing a nandroid backup, not a restore, and on gingerbread, so it's hard to say what caused the problem. I don't believe I've seen any report exactly like yours.

You tried several button combinations, including recovery mode, which did not work, but did you try to get into download mode? First try to enter download mode with the battery in -- hold vol+ and vol- (but not pwr) and then plug in the usb cable. If no success with that, pull the battery and do the exact same sequence to enter download mode. The usb cable will provide the power. Sometimes there is a problem with the battery. If you can get download mode, you're not bricked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Galaxy_Cat:
what are you talking about? Read OP response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojo_whit3:
My bad. I've only had this phone for a week and never used that ROM...just assumed it was ICS based on the name.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gandalf21502:
It is a GB rom/kernal...

I tried, as said above, to hold down vol up and down, then insert the usb cable, no go with or without the battery in. My wife has the same phone, so I tried her battery and no go, then put my battery in hers and all was fine. So battery seems ok. I have played around a good bit with it this evening, and read a good bit in the forums...all points to hard bricked. I have no idea how it happened, I have seen no others (at least from my seraches) have this problem with nandroid backup. For that matter I have used it before with this rom/kernal and no issue. Warranty is still good on it, guess I will try and get it exchanged, hopefully they don't get it to boot up with a custom rom on it. No way for me to restore it back to stock of course.

I have already tried the micro usb cable that came with the phone and tried to get Odin to see the phone, no go. I ordered a Jig to see if it would force the phone into download mode...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gandalf21502:
Got my USB Jig today. Took the battery out (even tried wifes 'good' battery). Put the battery in, then the Jig...nothing. I would assume the phone has some form of hardware failure...guess time to get ahold of AT&T and get a warranty exchange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gandalf21502:
AT&T is sending a 'refurb' phone today...should be here soon...hopefully they don't get my phone to work and see the custom kernal/rom...No matter what I try, it just won't come on.

I hope you are RIGHT! Like I said, i tried my wifes battery and no go either, even with a USB Jig. Also, put my battery in hers and her phone would 'see' the battery but not charge it. Seems that whatever happened fried both my phone and the battery is not working properly either. I just ordred a new battery since the battery was toast also...
