[HTC Sensation] speechless:
hi all

im living in lebanon and i have htc sensation middle east version

android 2.3.4 with sense 3

software number 1.50.415.1

is that the latest update for my phone ? coz i saw alot ppl got update and when im checking for update i get no update available

so my Quetion is that normal or something goes wrong ?

(someone told me to change CID to 15) if thats true how to do so?.

10x in advance:)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
I guess your latest update (assuming you have an unbranded phone) should be Android v2.3.5 & Sense v3.5/3.6 unless ICS update has released already.

If your phone is branded, you will need to contact your operator to know about the software updates for your phone.

Anyway, to check for the latest update, go to Settings>About Phone>Software Updates>Check now.

If you really can't wait for an update, you can S-Off your phone, flash recovery of your choice, flash appropriate firmware & then apply a stock/custom ROM. Here is a guide for the same.
[HTC Sensation] speechless:
so what can i do in this case if my phone unbranded?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
As I said check for the update from settings. If it says no updates found, try switching off and rebooting your phone & then checking again.

If it again says no updates found & if you really want new software, then you can follow the last suggestion in my previous post. Note that the last option can (and in some cases, will) void your warranty, especially if not done properly.
[HTC Sensation] speechless:
ok i did as u said i got msg ( your phone is up to date there are no updates available for your phone) whats the best rom for sensation ? and 10x for your help appreciated:)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
ROMs are all about experience mate. If you like something, it's not necessary that I might like it too. Also true the other way round.

What version of android and sense are you looking for?

Also what features are most important to you?
[HTC Sensation] speechless:
im looking for ics with good preference and stable doesnt metter what version of android or sense
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Well, ARHD 6.6.4 is stable & pretty smooth and has almost no bugs at all.

Ordroid 7.1.0 has a bug or two, but is stable & fast. I personally feel it also gives better battery performance, although, I can't say it for sure since it's been here just a day now.

You could also try an Insert Coin ROM, which I haven't been able to do myself, and hence cannot tell you anything about it.

Don't go for senseless ROMs yet, since I'm not really sure how stable they are and I wouldn't want to recommend something to you unless I've atleast heard about it.

All ROMs can be found in the Android Development section.
[HTC Sensation] speechless:
im really appreciated :) but i have problem in ur guide cant read all things well there is a pic on front that hides half words :mad: tried on ff chrome IE pic attached

It seems like the Galaxy S3 is already on sale in Dubai more than a week before its official release date. According to the website, multiple sources confirmed the story to be true.

Is there anyone in Dubai around here ?

[Galaxy S III General] ShittyMF:
Not quite, but I have a friend who lives there... I'll ask him and return with an answer
[Galaxy S III General] bodyky:
I'd better start calling my relatives in Dubai and see if they've got some spare change for a Galaxy S3 :)
[Galaxy S III General] Sir-Awesome:

[Galaxy S III General] BoogWeed:

[Galaxy S III General] BoogWeed:
They are all 16Gb.

The store I checked had 4 white ones in stock. They said they might receive some blue tomorrow morning. If so, I'm going go down there, compare the two colours and buy the one I like.
[Galaxy S III General] djsaad1:
nice to know they got white, hopefully that means the online stores wont have a delay on white.
[Galaxy S III General] sak500:
I've not seen it in any electronic stores. Can you pls confirm where he bought it from? I've just ordered online via clove for about 446BP. Would have bought it locally then :(

[Galaxy S III General] BoogWeed:
I've been calling around several stores and it's available pretty much everywhere in Dubai.

Most stores are now out of stock. No store has had any blue ones in as yet.

The units sold/in stock have been white.
[Galaxy S III General] nadram:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulTT:
Thanks a lot for the scripts! Excellent job. One question though: if my phone is already rooted (with your update.zip ) what should I (if possible) remove from the unlock script in order to perform strictly the steps for unlocking? Thank you in advance.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
You don't have to remove anything. When the script displays the instructions for Root, just press any key in the script window (without actually following the instructions, i.e. without installing the ROOT.zip archive in the recovery menu) so the script goes directly to the next step (the unlocking step).

Also if you want to keep the Root in the end, do exactly the same at the Unrooting step.

The script does not verify if you really root / unroot the phone when it asks you to do so.

Regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mikemsc13:
Thanks for your work.

Respect!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulTT:
I tried the script but unfortunatelly it didn't work on my phone. In attach there is one print screen of the operation. My Xcover is locked on Orange RO. What could be the problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
Copy the text from the cmd.exe screen and post it here or upload a full size print screen. The image resolution is too small and I can't understand what's the problem.

It seems that the "su -c" commands are executed directly under the cmd.exe and NOT within the adb shell prompt as they should be.

Post the WHOLE output of the script (from the beginning to the end). Do more consecutive print screens if necessary.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulTT:
I tried again and you are absolutely right. The script is executed in cmd.exe, not in adb as it should. I didn't pay attention earlier. What can I do to force it to start in adb? The screenshot has been taken and saved at 1280x800 but it has been resized automatically at upload.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
Upload the image(s) on imageshack and post only the links here. I need the whole output of the script.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PaulTT:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/846/unlocking.png/

First link. If neccessary, I will make/upload the missing screens from cmd.exe (the missing parts are the root and unroot ones, that I skiped by pressing a key without following instructions as my phone is rooted).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] undecided323:
never mind
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
@PaulTT: I think I've found the problem. The double quotes were not interpreted correctly (probably due to different regional settings).

Please download again the zip archive from the first post (I've replaced it with a newer version) and try again.

Problem

Hey tlc76,

first of all, i'd like to say thank you for the script, but unfortunately it doesn't work.

So i did everything in the description. (Turning on USB-Debugging, Inserting SD-Card, Installing the Drivers from Samsung)

But everytime i open the unlock.bat file, the screen turns white and the script doesn't do anything. The PC says, that adb doesn't work sometimes.

With the standard software from samsung or the adb in eclipse it functions quite well.

I would be thankful for some advice.

Thanks,

greendot_189
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DSR!:
nice tool! my phone is more happy now
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] greendot_189:
So, i eradicated the problem from yesterday, by running the script with a different version of adb, which was already on my harddisk.

There are good and bad news.

The good ones first:

It doesn't freeze and turn white anymore.

The bad ones:

The script waits endlessly searching for a SdCard. (It is inserted, and the phone works with it)

greez,

greendot

Edit:

It works now. Thank you very much!

Problem:

It didn't find the device. I installed Android SDK (with the USB Drivers) + JDK7 on another computer. Then everything worked fine.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
If the script waits endlessly for the SdCard and the dots on the screen ARE NOT expanding, then you can try the following (in this particular order):

- stop the script (CTRL+C and Y) and restart it;

- unplug and replug the USB cable (with the script still running);

- reboot the host computer.

It seems that sometimes the

adb -d shell "mount"

command freezes and the script cannot advance. Normally every two seconds a new dot should be displayed:

Waiting for the SdCard to be mounted.................

so if you see only 4 dots which are NOT expanding

Waiting for the SdCard to be mounted....

then the script is waiting endlessly for the output of the mount command and is not actually running, so you can do one of the 3 actions described above.

The problem is most probably caused by the adb interface.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TechGR:
Hey tlc, great tool. One question though - what if the script is stuck on "waiting for SD card to be mounted" and the dots ARE expanding? How long should this take?

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6600/adbg.jpg

If it helps, a few days ago a new firmware was available for update (CSC LF2 ORO), maybe they blocked some stuff?

Galaxy Xcover S5690L. You got it man...

So, I tried running the script from GUI on Windows 7 32-Bit, never worked. Opened cmd.exe as Administrator, ran batch command, and here I have an S5690L rooted and sim unlocked. Branded to Claro Dominican Republic.

NEAT, thanks... :cyclops:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
Sorry for the late response...

If the dots are expanding and nothing happens then the SDcard looks like it's not mounted. You can try to unmount and then remount it using the Settings/Storage menu or you can disconnect and reconnect the USB cable and rerun the script
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oz666:
Thank you for this great script. Just want to say that i had a few problems because i had an "adb" in system path and this script was starting that one instead of yours. Because of this it didn't know were root.zip is and just displayed "Waiting for sdcard to mount" :).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] 13Miguel972:

BigUP TLC!

I'v been following the S5690 thred's from the beginning when Xenux55 started a root Question. I must thank tlc76 for all his work on the XCover because it is not a popular device and this new root and unlock script is probably the only 100% safe and working in the web. I have tested it on 3 Devices from 2 countries works perfect if you have the ADB setup properly. So BigUP TLC76 :good:.

Now it is time for a ROM. From what I know for now there is no ROM's for the device. I'm not advanced enough (jet) to do my own. So if anyone knows anyone in the XDA community who could help us build a nice kernel with an OC abilty it would be super. With OC we could try to get ISC running (but probably laggy). I Customized the firmwere to the point it is almost a rom :cowboy:.

Supercharge: I tried to use script to supercharge the device (because it is slow from lack of mamorry) sometime ago but did not work, it did not detect the busybox for some reson and I used the SuperchargedStartUpKit first so i dont know what is the problem. I will ask Zeppelinrox when i have a second. If Anyone has luck with Supercharge PLS give feed back!!! the Original thred for Supercharge :

not sure if was L or M model just know its GT-S5690. no network now. can't do restore. brand new out of the box. when i turn it on it takes about 20 mins before the phone starts into the menu screen. i'd trying the reverse now to relock. the only reason i tried this was because it rooted the phone also. superSU wasnt working from rooting with gingerbread and super-one-click would not work. saying prayer here it undoes the damage! if not play dumb and bring it back 2 shop!

Thanks for your efforts.

Could you please update the script so it also has support with the S5690R:

in updater-script, replace

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5690M"

with:

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5690M" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5690R" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5690R"

It seems to do the trick!

thanks again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tlc76:
Thank you for your feedback; I've updated the script (included the S5690R model in the list) and modified the first post accordingly.

I've added the Unroot step in order to allow the user to revert the phone to it's "clean" status (with warranty valid). If you want to keep root, just press CTRL+C when the script asks you to (manually) remove the root.

Regards,

Cristian

Can't get unlock to work

Well I have tried everything. Don't know how to get the unlock script to run in ADB from Windows 8. Should USB connected mode be activated on the phone? USB drivers are installed and the phone shows up in device manager. I tried to run the abd.exe as admin and it goes by so fast, I don't know if anything is happening because it looks like it stops and closes prematurely.

any help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ez2517:
Hello,

I also have the problem that the SD card is not found. Tried on 2 PC's, one of them with ADK installed. Installed what seems to be the latest USB drivers (USB_Drivers_1.5.27.0.exe). I have formatted it inside the phone (don't have a PC reader or micro SD adapter), could that be the reason ? does the script need the card to be formatted with a specific file system ?

Or could the phone firmware be too new for the script ? I have the latest version, Android 2.3.6, Kernel version 2.6.35.7, Build GINGERBREAD.XXLL1

Many thanks
