If I'm reading the instructions correctly on android police, I should be able to do the update with my completely stock phone. However when I go to boot with vol+power it just boots the phone normally. Am I missing something?

Unable to boot into bootloader for ICS leak

I am also having the same exact problem phone just reboots normally.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
Are you using volume down + power? Make sure you hold volume until you see something on the screen. If you're completely stock, you have no reason to go into hboot.
[HTC Rezound] jbuffethed:
Try pulling the battery, then boot into bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Go into Settings/Power and uncheck the fastboot option for sense.
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
did you rename the file to PH98IMG.zip?
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Fast Boot

If your SETTINGS -> POWER - FAST BOOT is checked, you will never really be turning off your phone (battery pull should work). Uncheck that box if you intend to do things in recovery/hboot on a frequent basis.
[HTC Rezound] zx2ner88:
Yes I'm using vol down. So what u are saying is that on a stock phone it will automatically look for the file on the sdcard and not go to hboot?

If you're stock it will download the OTA, ask you to reboot, apply it in hboot, then reboot.

k so ive read through other posts and tried to fix this myself but nothing ive read has worked...

my battery was fine up until i installed the last miui 2.4.20 rom, then i started noticing that my phone is dying even though its still showing a certain amount of battery % still there. my recovery was showing a different percentage than my rom...i turned off the phone, charged it until the light was green, went into recovery, wiped everything including battery stats and installed RunnyMede Xtreme v2.1.3 w/ unity v10 kernal...still getting the same problem...ex. itll shut off at 80%, then ill check in recovery and it shows like 35%....what could be the problem?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgeCan:
Help Please...I really need some now.

I had my phone unlocked and everything was fine. I have been updating the resurrection remix roms and enjoying them a lot. I was up to ver. 1.7. The problem is that I had some of the screen issues (fine horizontal lines on the screen) and I decided to get the phone repaired. I just got the phone back today and I noticed that Bell repair shop had wiped everything off my phone and put their stock version of ics on and the phone was no longer rooted. I have been trying to root the phone a few times now through Odin (like I did half a year ago) and at first it failed due to not being able to open the serial port. I opened Kies and the phone connected so I knew the drivers were ok. I tried Odin again and this time it went through and gave me a pass......but on reboot, it just hangs on the Samsung screen and I cannot turn the phone on at all now. I either am stuck on this screen or the CWM screen, but it won't carry out any command ie. power off, open zip from scard etc. I really need some help and quite worried about the phone now.

Please, please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
you allowed usb debugging?, go back to download mode and flash a kernel with root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frozenthunder:
Go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. If you are unable to get into download mode because you said that your phone wont accept any commands for example pressing buttons then you could buy an USB jig. This will bring you directly to download mode. That would propably be your last chance.

Then flash a stock kernel back on there. Maybe the exact same which was on there before. Or just flash a stock full ICS Rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdgeCan:
Yahoo!! I finally got the thing unstuck. I tried the Odin procedure again but this time I downloaded a more updated root kernel. It passed, then on bootup it wasn't stuck in space......although it still did not boot up properly. It ended up going just black...with no screen whatsoever. But the CMW program was working though and I was able to do a system restore from a month ago. I was very happy and very lucky I made that backup. Now, not only do I make the Titanium backup, but I also do a backup from the CMW program.....because now I know it's possible to freeze up before I ever get a chance to use Titanium. A good lesson indeed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoePin:
Hey all,

I'm trying to find a place to download the demo video that was included in the Note, but I don't have it on the AT&T model. It's the one that starts with the Jellyfish and has the coins, butterflies, etc.

I see it on youtube but can't find a youtube downloader on the app store.

I'd love to download some nice HD videos directly to my Note to show off to friends, if anyone has any advice or links that would be awesome.

Thanks,

[HTC One S] Samugai:
For those with signal issues on the US T-Mobile One S what have you tried already with/without success? I've tried everything except swapping for a new SIM and/or handset. Has anybody had any luck resolving the issue with a SIM and/or handset swap or any other method?
[HTC One S] Samugai:
Went to swap SIM today and the signal issue did not go away. I've tried everything except swapping for a new phone to resolve the signal issue, and I have a feeling that swapping the phone might not resolve the issue either. Going to the store after work or tomorrow to swap for a new one and report back.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Well, i just have a feeling that the total happy modding flashing days of the IncS is coming to an end :(

Every day i check these forums & the quantity of posts have diminished, not much development either.

i guess the last stop would be the ICS official release (if it happens) post which am certain there won't be any further updates for the IncS...

the shelf life of the phone seems just to be over a year...

all good things must come to an end :(

and that makes me quite unhappy
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Well, if you saw the evo 3d had no action, and the ics leak brought it back to life

Hopefully that will happen to us, but it seems more and more people are selling and buying something else :/

Still, looking forward to a stable sense 4 :)
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Once ics is released things will pop back to life. No one wants to spend time on an old os. It's much much simpler to mod a official release than a ported one. All I want is a senseless version of the official with trebuchet and ill be happy.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
There's your Thanks meter touching 100 for the optimism :)
[HTC Incredible S] poiu060:
I agreed with you about the senseless version. IMO, ICS default launcher is better than sense.

I hate the way they classify "denied-call" into "missed call". We got it, not missed it.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
I hate the way it lags my phone with unnecessary UI overlays. Sense roms - 400 mb cm - 89 mb, where is the love.
[HTC Incredible S] Imp0stoR:
Hope not :(
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
And i hate the way contacts can't be removed from favorites!

Quite a pain
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
LOL so much hatred for sense

I like sense

I like the launcher, the nice animations and the features it adds

I honestly can't wait for a working sense 4 rom

Anyone with me, or am I on my own?
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
1000% here with you mate.

Don't mistake me, i really love sense...

I never have used a 'sense-less' rom except for IceCold...
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I have tried cm7, miui, icecold sandwich

All of them weren't on my phone for more than a week

And thanks for being so with me on this, 1000% is a lot :)
[HTC Incredible S] thakur90:
Dude sense all the way... Or why would I spend the extra money buying HTC device instead of nexus s... Sense is beautiful!!
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
True, but I bought a HTC over a samsung initially because of not only sense, but the fact that it has more ram. 768mb is more than enough for ics
[HTC Incredible S] TIT4N:
Whats the "Plus" in sense:

-The animations that you wont get in any other Android mobiles like Samsung, LG etc..

-Launcher looks

- Extras like Weather animations. (That made my friend who has a S2 jealous of me)

- HTC sense integration with internet.

- There are many other plus point in sense.

Minus: It makes the phone lag sometimes. But i never experienced the lag. I see my phone lagging only when i try to play a 720p movie and i try to skip some scenes it takes some time to load which didnt happen in Sense-Less ROM's.
[HTC Incredible S] lerx:
Love sense too :D can't wait to get sense 4.0
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Try cm 7.2.0 its wild. Your phone will run like butter and your battery will last 3 days.

[HTC Incredible S] Optisolator:
I love Sense but after using ICS i just cant go back to Gingerbread. The Appdrawer and notifications are just so much better on ICS :(

And to the original topic, Miui no longer supports incredible S :( so in a way thats sign. But once official ICS comes out I have a feeling development will spring to life again.
[HTC Incredible S] thakur90:
Not to forget the build quality and camera!! Far better than Samsung
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yes. However camera resolution is only 5mp.
[HTC Incredible S] eSouL:
Will ICS for IncS comes with Sense 4.0? Or just 3.6 or something?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Based on other 2011 devices that have gotten ICS updates, it will probably be Sense 3.6.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
That's the only problem?

I can for sure live with a 5mp camera...

No graphic drivers issues with the phone rebooting and stuff??
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
That's a bummer :(

Was hoping for sense 4!
[HTC Incredible S] crunchyHTC:
Forgive my ignorance but why is it that the desire s mod section is thriving more so than the incredible s?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
I believe it is because the original Desire had a great following, too. Many of the original Desire owners either updated to the Desire HD or the Desire S.
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
Im getting the full 8mpx resolution (2448x3264) on cm7.2.0 rc1 with can lag fix kernel. Are you on 3rd party camera app or set at lower Res?
[HTC Incredible S] vladabiber:
Yes, it will be Sense 3.6, but once we get official ICS it will be no problem at all for devs to port fully working Sense 4 to our device...

And yes, we are near end. After official ICS, there will be few Sense-based ROMs, couple non-Sense, hopefully CM9 and MIUI, and thats about it. Crucial thing is to get official ICS asap, before our devs switch to One series ;)
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
I see a lot of them there already..............................................

But yeah, we are the 'fag-end' of our lovely IncS...

Must say it has been an awesome device... have had a lot of fun with it
[HTC Incredible S] fridgie:
I can see the writing on the wall and will shed a small tear when it happens, love my incS and waiting for official ics for a bug free rom.

All good things must come too an end and as sad as it will be, remember... Only the good die young ;)
[HTC Incredible S] Bagbug:
I dont plan to get a new phone soon anyway. Too bad if there is no new ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Rampage686:
Whenever I try and upload a file to Google Drive or add a picture from my gallery to instagram, my phone creates a file called .thumbdata3 in the thumbnails directory on my SD card. The problem with this is not the creation of the file, it's that the file is exactly the size of all the free space on the memory card... When plugged into the computer it displays "0 Bytes Free" on the SD card...

So when I choose a file from the gallery to upload to google drive or instagram, it will hang on a black screen until this file has been created (filling up the SD card), and then upload... Then i check the free space, and it is 0Bytes.

Anyone else had this and fixed it?

PS Sorry for being a noob here ;)
[HTC Sensation] Rampage686:
Bumping this...

Anyone had this? Or have a solution?
[HTC Sensation] rofled:
Same thing here, unfortunately no solution. Apparently it is safe to delete the file, but it will be recreated at some point, taking up all the space on the SD card again.

For me, it grew up to 400 MB and even beyond (IIRC), which seems a bit excessive, even taking into account that there are > 2000 pictures in the DCIM folder of my SD-card at the moment. Still, 400 MB is more than a quarter of the 1.4 GB that the pictures take up, which surely does not make much sense if that is supposed to speed up the process of reading/displaying the thumbnails!?

Does anybody know a fix? Is it ICS related? I'm on Stock 4.0.3 ICS BTW, and I never noticed this behaviour before the update...
[HTC Sensation] Rubbs:
Same here, with a SE Xperia Mini Pro (4.0.4). It happened with me when the phone tried syncing Evernote notes (with pictures attached).

Maybe this topic should be moved to a more generic sub-forum; apparently it's an ICS problem...
[HTC Sensation] stitch01:
thumbdata3

I am also currently having this problem, specially when trying to upload/import photos from gallery to instagram. the ".thumdata3...." file can go as large as 2.5 gig for me, depenending on how much space I have on my SD card before importing pics from gallery to instagram
[HTC Sensation] rasnadas:
Same happenned to me - a siolutions that worked for me

Same happened to me the .thumdata3 ate up all remaining space (1.2G) on my Samsung Galaxy S2, android 4.0.3. Any time I deleted it, it was recreated any time I opened the camera app. Then the camera app was unable to take any pic due to sd full. :( If I deleted this file it was re-created any time I started camera again.

Installing and running the SDrescan app (from play store) helped. Though SDrescan made stock ringtones disappear. However reboot helped that, and the large file did not came back even after restarting camera.

This worked for me, though I am not sure in the reason. :) Might work for you as well, or not. I must say that android 4.0 is much worse than I expected. Not the first annoying error I have found.

My guess for the reason of the error happening: I once inserted an sd card with LOTS of media content. Then all this was cached somehow in gallery.

My guess for the reason this solution works: the app erases cached SD data thus helps reducing the thumbnail cache.
[HTC Sensation] strom87:
I had the same issue, but unfortunately your solution didn't help me. Initially I thought it did, but after a reboot and launching Camera app, it hanged and created the .thumbdata3 file once again.

I also tried messing up with databases using SQLite Editor, as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28466334&postcount=9, but that didn't help either.

I've done some more research and found a solution here: http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/show...in-memory-card&p=311954&viewfull=1#post311954. After I deleted the .thumbdata3 file, created a blank one with Root Explorer and removed write permission to it, the file stays at 0 bytes and Camera and Gallery apps still work fine.
[HTC Sensation] ZombieCrusher:
I´ve the same problem.

After restarting the phone, the camera freezes for a while and regenerates the file, no matter how many media files are in the phone or sd card, it always growth to 431mg after restarting.

(I also find many lost files in the LOST.DIR (almost 2.300gb...many are dissapeared files that I forget about them!)
[HTC Sensation] krikkrac:
The .thumbdata files on my SGSIII take up ~4 GB worth of space. Already a quarter of my phones internal memory is being wasted. I wonder if this is a bug or "working as intended"? It makes me wonder how google can still justify the lack of an external microsd card slot on their nexus phones when there is so much space being mismanaged by the OS.
[HTC Sensation] weberdantas:
It's works

It's works with me!
[HTC Sensation] Kyonex:
that works

That works for me:

1. copy name of thumbdataX--x file

2. delete that file

3. create folder named the same as deleted file; reboot your device

4. look in folders named LOST.DIR (you can find it in the root directory of your internal memory and your SDcard) - huge temporary files may be left in these folders, so delete these files

New thumbdata file can't replace the folder and doesn't appears :victory:
[HTC Sensation] pika456:
until now the folder solution works :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] ksuuk:
It doesn't work, camera still overwrites the .thumbdataX--x folder. And as /mnt/sdacard is using FAT32, I also can't set file permission to 000 or use /dev/null symlink.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my post and maybe helping me out, I'm trying to install this ROM called AOKP Milestone 5.2 witch has been ported to the EPIC 4G, I follow all the steps, but all I get is a bootloop.

It tries to install, at "Checking State of BML/MTD..." It blacks out and does it again, then it blacks out and goes to the SAMSUNG splash screen, it then changes to GALAXY S with Cyanogen(mod) splashcreen, does this 2 times, and then boots into recovery, I searched the thread and didn't find anything similar D8.

My phone before I start: it has ACSRecovery5-1.0
