[HTC Sensation] futty:
last time i had an update was that htc watch app or whatever and i had to get my phone back to stock before i could update, im not that much of an advance user to know ways to keep root and all that during updates.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Just so I am clear as I am thinknig of just waiting for the official t-mobile update (using t-mobile brand phone but no on their network) now given my phone died recently after flashing ARHD and I am not sure if it's just hardware coincidence or something with the firmware or ROM.

So after I got my phone back from repair...I now have S-off, rooted, clockwork mod, and SuperCID. So if I want to just get the OTA update for ICS when it comes out...what do I need to do? Do you guys mean removing clockwork recovery? How do I put the old recovery back? And also, someone told me I need to change the CID back to the Tmobile one?

Hope to get some clarification here. thanks

Try this page there's various guides on downgrading etc. It tells you step by step what you need to do, just follow the one relevant to what your trying to do. http://www.htcsensationforum.com/ht...to-downgrade-upgrade-gb-lt-gt-ics-a-tutorial/
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Thanks...I read through that. Just a little confused about flashing the recovery...on one site..someone posted the "stock_recovery_ and "cwm_recovery"...are there only one version of "stock_recovery" or does it go by the brand of the phone? Is U.S. T-mobile recovery different than other HTC sensation recovery?
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
All stock recovery should be the same.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
I read the instructions but am a little confused about one part. They talk about if I want to stay rooted after ICS update... I need to root the GB ROM first (done)...the flash recovery...change CID back to T-mobile...

Then run OTA update....then it talks about flashing custom recovery. But I thought it said the new HBOOT is locked so custom recovery is not possible. So how could one flash custom recovery after ICS update as suggested.

Also, regarding flashing stock recovery....on one of the links, there's a stock_PMG58IMG file....so it doesn't matter if mine is US-T mobile? I can just flash any stock recovery as there's only one?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
If you're s-off then you can flash recovery with a locked bootloader.

[HTC Sensation] newr:
Oh ok..so currently I am S-off...rooted, superCID, CWM recovery....

so if I install stock recovery then update OTA ICS when it comes out....I can flash CWM recovery again even with the ICS update or new bootloader? I guess what they meant is it won't work with the revolution program but it if I already have it done, then I install Clockwork same way as I did before in GB?

BTW, do you think it's safe to try to flash a custom ICS ROM again? I don't want to kill the phone again..but I still don't know if it's related to what I flashed?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Correct. Just go back to stock recovery and cid for OTA. Afterwards flash recovery from bootloader, and superuser from recovery.

Although there were a few users experiencing the same type of failure in a short period of time, there are far more people running strong with ics. I would not worry about it...

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Soff is all that matters newr.. Once you got soff It cant be changed what ever you do.. Even ics ota update...

For you to get ics update... Two requirements should be met matching cid and stock recovery...

As for installing custom recovery and all after ota update it is entirely possible.. As you will be soff even after ics ota... Let me tell you two universal facts.

SOFF... You won't lose it anyway unless phone is returned for repair

SOFF... That's all you need to change your device anyway you want (no locked unlocked updated bootloader matters)

As for being safe after flashing custom ics.. There are literally thousands of ppl with custom ics roms.. And there are around 20 ppl? Who got their device bricked.. On ics..

The reason... Unknown.. It's a mystery..

So at the end its your call

[HTC Sensation] newr:
Ok..great..thanks for clearing that up. Is there only one stock recovery or does it have to be specific for T-mobile or the firmware I am on....I see some post with the stock recovery PMG58 file but it doesn't say if it's specific for t-mobile sensation or the specific firmware....or it doesn't matter?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Check the link in the new thread you started. BTW: all the gb recoveries are the same.

Did I miss something? Did T-Mobile start pushing the update already? I could of sworn they would be waiting us wait till jellybean was already out and about. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Not yet...we're just anticipating its arrival!
[HTC Sensation] Ndokami:
Ah ok
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Sorry to trouble you guys again...but I just have a question about rooting after OTA ICS update when it's finally out. So after the update....if I am s-off..it'll still be s-off...but would the bootloader be locked? Does it matter?

If I want to root it again...I read you would flash Clockwork mod again...then run the SU file for root. In one of the links about this...they talk about using rootkeeper...and to run it after update....but then they still say to flash clockwork..and then to flash the SU file for superuser/root.

So what's the point of using the rootkeeper app then if I have to flash the CWM and SU/root file anyway.

Would like to clear that up. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
I flash recoveries with *locked* bootloader all the time. You're s-off, you're ok!

Don't bother with rootkeeper. Just flash your chosen recovery in bootloader by using a PG58IMG format, and then flash either superuser or supersu through recovery.
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Thx. There r several versions of the SU file...do I have to use specific one to root ics?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
You can use either superuser(chainsdd) or supersu(chainfire). I'll let you investigate the differences, but lately I've been using supersu. Both are playstore supported for updates and perform binary updates within the apps themselves. It's common to have to flash these 2-3 times for them not to return with an error. I cannot remember if I updated the binaries in superuser, but here are flashable zips for both:
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Hmm...but I've seen some post with su3.0 or something? I guess the one u posted would work fine then...cool. I think im all set just wait for tmobile
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Ya, just checked it. I updated my supersu, but never updated my superuser. Newest is 3.0.7, but like I said they are both playstore supported so it will update. I can update that zip and repost, or you can look for a 3.0.7 flashable zip... Err, here you go...
[HTC Sensation] newr:
Sorry for asking question again...but I get confused cuz some ppl seem to say I need to unlock the bootloader again to flash ROM...while some like yourself seem to say as long as I am S-off..and I run clockwork again and rooted..then I am ok...even if the OTA bootloader will be locked.

So would it be ok to just install a custom ROM even with bootloader locked? I wish I understand that better! :)

And have it boot back on at specific time or right before the alarm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshndroid:
This is not possible on todays phones generally... I do miss this feature of older handsets as i like to have my phone off when i sleep so i had to buy an alarm... I guess android teaches anything is possible so it could be done but it would depend on the internal clock and hacking around with how that works etc

Hey all, what would it take to port sense 4.0 ROM to our device? is it possible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] seanyuan62:
Very very very low chance, expecially with what little amount of developers we have. The Galaxy Nexus has a very early port but it will most likely never be stable.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golu12:
i brought the phone at launch, its a T-Mobile version Super AMOLED I9020, im in india though, using indian sim.

the phone was previously rooted, then unrooted, then rooted, then unrooted again. then filnally i was using unrooted nexus s, but with unlocked bootloader and stock recovery.

4-5 months after this, the phone started stucking on google logo.

it used to stuck at google logo at times but a quick battery pull would fix it, one day it didnt. since then it always stuck at the google logo on boot and never turned on, except some 1 out of 1 million times after connecting to computer.

i tired to format the whole phone using stock recovery, it was successful and the phone turned on, but next time when it switched off, same problem again but this time even formatting wont work, the formatting from stock recovery would just display an error that it failed to find a file and formatting aborted.

i tried everything, hundreds of stuff from google and XDA but nothing seems to be working.

today i managed to flash CWR to it. i tired to then erase sdcard but it says failed to mount /sdcard . i also tried other things like update from sd card(i have a ICS update.zip file in the memory) but still it said failed to mount sdcard, tried to wipe-> 'error mounting sdcard'

and now i dont know what ive done but when i boot the phone(normally) it doesnt even display the google logo, it enters bootloader by itself and says 'fastboot mode - no boot or recovery img'

bootloader is still unlocked, CWR is still there and accessible.

i took it to samsung service centre too, they said they will have to replace the motherboard(quoting me 400$ for it lol)

this is my last try really, ive been trying to fix this thing from ages!

is there anything that can be done?

going to sell it if i still cant fix it

I'm afraid the great phone has served its purpose. Was it dropped a lot? That could do some damage to the board and hardware components. There's also a theoretical limit on the number of flash memory accesses.

I bought my phone the first day it was launched too, and I'm fortunate that it's still rockin', and rockin' hard. Might just jinx myself there :rolleyes:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Your so close to a bricked phone. Try using cmd and going into cwm or twrp. Wipe everything including SD and system. Flash a from and it may work.

If not its a hardware issue and your pretty much fcked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golu12:
Nothing is working, its just not able to access the sdcard, it is detected by the comp but nothing can access it, to wipe or to anything.

The phone was used in a very rough manner always..

Sometimes i even put it under the tap for a second and then wipe it to clean lol.

Only way to repair it i guess is to buy another phone and replace the motherboard or maybe, just replace the nand flash(SDIN4C2 SanDisk 16GB) which i failed to find anywhere.

Or maybe ill just sell it and get an htc one x...any other suggestions for a good phone? Except the S3

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
Hi folks,

Just a quick note on something we've been working with jonpry on. The title says it all - this is not an official GBX build/release, rather something I compiled from the current GBX tree.

As always, if you are submitting an issue -> post complete GetLogs output -> otherwise I promise you, I will ignore your post.

This is work in progress, so don't expect everything will be smooth. Having said that, it works remarkably well, and it performs at a high level. Here is what I know does not work for sure:

1. Auto-backlight.

2. No idea what the reboot option does, but I wouldn't be surprised if it just hangs your device.

Other issues I am sure will come up.

As always, props to ACL for LK/recovery + early nand pioneering work.

This comes with the usual disclaimers - flashing your phone is inherently dangerous, etc. So do this at your own risk.

Download here, and flash via CWM recovery. Alternative Mirror Location.

Kernel update containing bug fixes. Flash also via CWM. Alternative Mirror Location.

CRITICAL: ril_update.zip. Should fix booting problems form GSM flks. Flash also via CWM. Alternative Mirror Location.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'll take this post cuz I'm greedy.

Thanks detule, flashing now...

Edit - initial flash was gravy. Booted up, and it seems the g-sensor is off... Someone reported this on GBX0C on HaRET, and I thought he was nuts, but it's definitely happening to me. Rotate the phone left, and it goes to portrait mode as if the phone was standing up straight up & down. Rotate the phone so it is standing straight up and down, and the screen goes landscape as if I'm holding it to the right...

Very strange. I'll look into it, could just be a fluke or something I did to setup. I flashed, then did a data/factory reset.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
Hi, thanks did you wipe data/cache and all that completely before trying this build?

You should not be experiencing FCs regardless of what rhodium you are using.

There is a small gbx bug where the phone app FCs on first boot but that is an isolated incident and is not repeated on other boots.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] detule:
The build is completely stock gbx and is available from the xdandroid gitorious repo.

I had to hack the xdandroid rootfs to build a ramdisk for the kernel. It can be found here. It's extremely hack-ish, but it works for now, and can be polished later.

The kernel is a slight modification of the haret kernel found on the linux-msm-rhod gitorious repo. If we get good feedback from this testing cycle next step is to combine the haret and the nand kernel.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] JDog2pt0:
From those who have tried this build and CM7, what's your recommendation? So far I'm pretty happy with CM7, but the inability to use an SD card (doesn't seem like too many people are affected by it), turn off the screen by the power button, and poor battery life are a bit of a downer. I know this build probably has roughly the same battery life, but is there any difference in terms of performance, and the issues I listed? Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] CodaHighland:
IMO, GBX0C is quite a bit better than CM7.2 on this hardware. CM just expects too much memory.
