Wiped Data, Cache, Dalvik, Battery

Applied Superwipe zip

Wiped Data, Cache, Dalvik, Battery times 2

Flashed ROM

Reboot

NOW:

Sitting at WHITE screen with Green HTC

Can hit power and go to sense lock screen, but when I unlock I am sitting at the HTC screen.

I am S-Off 1.4

and cwm 5.0.2.0

Suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I have hboot 1.5 s-off as a replacement. I can flash other roms just like 1.4 s-off. So I assume I'm an exception to the rule and can flash this without issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
i know how to use fastboot and im on ext 4 recovery, so will just go that way, but your sure about this, i dont have to downgrade.. cus flashing in a minute
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
Yes this is just a normal rom, only you need to flash the firmware first. So flash both basically. Firmware in bootloader of course and rom in recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
To flash the Firmware update (and you must flash it to run this ROM), you must be on 1.4. It will not flash with 4EXT. The ROM will flash, but the firmware update will not.

~co~
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
1.5 with S-ON yes you can't whoops sorry but the other guy with 1.5 S-OFF you can
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Lol I mean when we update firmware we still can flash other roms?
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
One best practice I use is to use apn backuprestore you can find it in the market. Download that backup your apn settings. Then flash the rom reinstall the app then restore your apn settings should be good to go.
[HTC EVO 3D] theycallmebrown:
is that only because 1.4 is s-off? my 1.5 is s-off. Also, how do you remove the hboot from the package like everyone is saying they are doing?
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
I updated the firmware and just went back to my old rom so yes the firmware works with GB roms. There is no kernel update in short - the firmware updates various hardware components not directly related to the software or roms you install
[HTC EVO 3D] theycallmebrown:
Found it.

The firmware from the OP has it already removed.
[HTC EVO 3D] kellybrf:
1.4 s-off

applied update in bootloader

wiped in recovery

superwipe

flashed

wipe dalvik

reboot

finally a working ics build for my 3d :D. you developers are the best!
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
Yes since you are S-OFF you have the ability to flash image files from bootloader. To remove the hboot file simply open the zip right click and delete.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Thanks. Downloading now. Already made a nand back up just in case.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Correction: You must be S-OFF. Sorry about that! Thanks theycallmebrown.

[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
I will suggest you get two sdcards. load one with the firmware and the other with the ICS ROM.

1 relock your phone then insert the sdcard with the firmware update and flash firmware from bootloader.

2. your phone will reboot and stuck on the htc screen.

3. remove battery and insert the sdcard with the ICS Rom.

4. boot into bootloader and unlock your phone. then reboot again into bootloader.

5. Try to get into recovery. if that did not work, put recovery.img in the same folder of adb and fastboot on your pc and reboot into it by typing:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery.img

Once in the recovery, flash your rom.

I did not try it myself but it is worth a shot.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I thought freeza already removed it. If you click on the link in the OP it takes you to Freezas post.
[HTC EVO 3D] tommy24:
I also have 1.4 s-off, is everything working on your phone ie 4g, 3d, wifi? How's running?
[HTC EVO 3D] kittykat858:
been playing for a bit

findings

1st boot - fast and zero weirdness

reboots (x2) - fast and clean

audio - not like mine - but clean

performance - for stock kernel - good

issues - ZERO, not even the weirdness on 1st boot

gonna flash a test kernel :)
[HTC EVO 3D] vnyborg:
Updated firmware..wiped...flashed rom. So far everything is working perfect. Rom feels real smooth and quick. Joelz is the freaking man. This is only the beginning, we know it's only going to get better.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luthien1:
lol nice thinking man
[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
Yes he did, I was responding to someone asking how to remove the hboot image and that's how one would do that.
[HTC EVO 3D] thedawn2009:
Alright, this Rom is beast. I ain't even mad its not sense 4.

When they say everything works, that is the god honest truth. Can take and view 3d even WiMAX/4G works.

K Thx got scared for a sec lol. Was getting ready to flash the firmware.

when i post a kernel for this rom

it will NOT have camera, and MAY NOT have 4g

until HTC releases source

im using my sensation kernel source as my base, and that phone uses different camera drivers and does not have wimax

i have found generic linux 3 wimax drivers im gonna try and use

as far as my kernel booting on this rom ...im on it now :) i do need to adjust some gpu stuff though
[HTC EVO 3D] crucial929:
everything working good and smooth... now how do i get rid of where it says "virgin mobile" everywhere?
[HTC EVO 3D] RulingCzar:
lock screen and stuff are easy edits but like in the dialer or what network you are connected to I think we ave to wait until Sprint firmware comes out
[HTC EVO 3D] vnyborg:
Not really feeling sense 3.6, hopefully sense 4.0 is in the near future for this rom. Would love the look and feel of newt one s rom combined with this rom. Again great work.

Is it the whole gpl thing that keeps you from kanging the code in this kernel into one of your own.? Can u only use HTC code with their consent.?
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Just use tapatalk. Unlimited thanks. Unless they changed it with the latest update.
[HTC EVO 3D] cas8180:
In qpst you can change the banner to Sprint and that will replace virgin Mobile tags in most areas

htc has not released any linux 3 kernels for the shooter platform officially, so there is no offical source code for me to kang from

[HTC EVO 3D] xlxcrossing:
wow I held off on flashing to help the stragglers now I seem to be the only one who can't boot. I got to lockscreen then process gapps stopped dialogue then phone shut down didn't reboot just shutdown. Wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions rebooted to android is upgrading finished then simply shut down again....arrgg lame city. Rewiping and flashing again if it doesn't work perhaps update the firmware again.

EDIT: didn't wipe hard enough apparently...this time it bled

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duykhang524:
S3 to the S2 is what the iphone 4s is to the iphone 4

Look at the main differences, they are only software oriented... The only upgrade is maybe the camera, the quad core cpu (with same gpu) and the led notification light... The super amoled hd is a pentile screen...

Not digging my pockets this year :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galacticpunk:
:D

thats what i was thinking.

cause the camera is the same old 8 mp cmos sensor but flatpanel.

just the screen size,resolution and the processor has been changed.

so i think would stick to my S2 for one year more and wait for S4.

my DAD will be happy that this year his wallet will not be empty like last 2 years.

:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
Other than the screen and battery, there's nothing I want over s2 TBH. When's the last time you found s2's CPU struggle with anything? Now what you going to do with a quad core CPU that put some laptops to shame?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA mark:
I know most S2 users will say it's not worth it, but after reading both the engadget and androidcentral coverage (and also technobuffalo and pocketnow) I have come to the conclusion:

I want it.

First of all, this is not iPhone 4->4S. The only thing there was a dual core in stead of single core processor and the camera. No DESIGN changes, it looked the same. No screen changes, it looked the same.

My initial feeling was mixed. First I wasn't amazed by the design. After seeing more and more articles and more and more pictures/videos, I changed my mind. That "metallic blue" colour is very nice, I like the home button design, the curved edges. The only thing I'm not amazed about is the back, but it's ok.

Hardware wise I'm happy. People with the S2, I understand you doubting if it's worth the upgrade from an S2. But some people on the net saying the hardware is total "****" should be locked up. People expect WAY to much. 2 years ago I would have only dreamed about such specs. While my S2 is no slow guy, I am starting so see room for improvements. It's slow some times, not a lot but ok. Also the change from WVGA to 720p res is a great thing, even if it's "pentile". Another small but maybe unknown detail is the S3 uses a "wolfson" soundchip or how it's called, so supercurio already tweeted we can expect amazing sound quality.

Atm I"m enjoying my S2 and somewhere in June/July I might get the S3. Like I said a while ago, standard pattern of most humans:

Initial disappointment, after a while start changing their minds, buy the phone anyway, start loving it hardcore mode. Every year. People usually focus only on specs on paper, but start seeing the small details later. And off course actually holding the phone in your hand, that's when the magic chicks in ^^

Do we really need to flood the SGS2 pages with floods of opinions about another device - which won't be released for four weeks - when one can do so on said device's dedicated forum?

No we don't IMO...

It's common sense this will be discussed here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Exactly .... and the special thing thing is the chip is better than the one in sgs.

Generally people will never have the mind to update their previous flagship, adding the poor design for sgs3 the upgrade will be slower from sgs2 users.

If you like HD screen, capture more photos, better battery life then you can switch to sgs3 without a doubt.

People haven't read the initial review from anandtech and gsmarena, this sgs3 blows the competitors with wide margin . The only drawback I would say is the back panel design.

Bet this thread will be locked anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpbl1976:
Having gotten the original Galaxy S and SII, I was greatly anticipating the SIII even though I was very impressed with the HTC One X.

After seeing the device, I have to say I'll be getting the One X instead. I waited and waited but was ultimately disappointed.

This new device is pretty ugly. How can the company that made the elegant Galaxy Nexus also make the chintzy, cheap-looking Galaxy SIII? Seriously -- the Galaxy SII actually looks better with its more pronounced edges -- the curved appearance of the SIII reminds me a lot of the Galaxy S -- in other words, the design went backwards. At least the iPhone 4s retained what was a good-looking design.

That's not the only thing that went backwards: the display technology Samsung is using on the SII is superior to the Pentile display of the SIII even if the resolution is lesser. What's more, in real world use, the SIII will probably not be that much better than the One X. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but the front camera also has a slightly smaller sensor, doesn't it (1.9Mpix vs. 2.0Mpix)?

Moreover, whereas other manufacturers are exploring the use of new processes and materials for its builds (Apple is allegedly planning to use new materials and processes on its iPhone and HTC already used a different set on its new One series), Samsung has stuck to ugly, glossy plastic.

What's bizarre is that if you look at Samsung's other offerings, like its televisions, it isn't afraid of producing elegant, spartan designs. There's nothing elegant or spartan about the Galaxy SIII, it's just cheesy.

Also, while I thought Touchwiz 4 was passable enough, the new TouchWiz looks like a disaster waiting to happen. You can already tell there's going to be a ton of crapware on the i9300. Where's the evolution? Why persist with the iPhone knock-off design sensibility when Android has already moved forward? Why insist on a very ugly hardware home button when Sammy itself shipped the first ICS sandwich with virtual buttons?

Rather than going for an ICS-influenced look which was meant to unify the appearance of the OS across devices and manufacturers, Samsung doubled-down on the most-critiqued software feature of its devices. Also, as one can see from the various hands-on videos, they even retained the Gingerbread-green battery icons!

At least HTC had the good sense to tweak SenseUI heavily to give its users a good user experience while incorporating just enough ICS to please the Android purists. Just looking at the TW5, you know it'll be another invasive, ugly experience from Samsung.

The only redeeming quality the SIII seems to have is its SoC, which is why some are saying its an evolutionary rather than revolutionary update.

So, sorry, Sammy. You aren't getting my money this year.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holyguyz:
In my opinion, SG3 not really a idea phone to buy if you already have SG2. Because:

1. Still not need quad core yet.

2. 4.8inch too big for "mobile" phone. Almost size of Samsung Note.

3. Same camera MP.

4. Ugly and non pro design.

The only things that interest me is the NFC technology.
