[HTC Sensation] teorouge:
Hello, I've been given a (bricked?) Sensation to try and revive: if you just power it on it goes straight to bootloader/fastboot screen and pressing RECOVERY takes me back to bootloader.

I tinkered with Desire, Desire HD and Flyer and got S-OFF and whatever on all of them, too bad I never got to try a Sensation before therefore I'm asking for some help: moreover I don't even know exactly what's been done to that before... :rolleyes:

Sensation's *** LOCKED *** (not HTCdev unlocked, right?), PVT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT 1.23, eMMC-boot (is it relevant?). I just can't access it via USB as adb/fastboot devices command doesn't find that and there are no devices appearing in Windows Computer Management (it's fine with my Flyer so I know drivers are ok), can I put some zip/nbh/whatever on the SD to try and resurrect the thing? :confused:

Thanks for any help you may give! :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
When connected to pc.. With device is fastboot... Is the device reading fastboot usb? If that's the case try fastboot devices.. Then it should show you the device..

If it does then

Unplug & replug the cable. Also, it it's in the bootloader, select fastboot.

If the device doesn't say fastboot USB, then you have no fastboot access.

I searched for a guide od something like it, but I found nothing. I would like to install CM9 to my arc S, if that is possible, but I don't even know where to start. I have unlocked bootloader, and I have flashed a few ROMS already, but I don't have a clue how to get CM9 on my phone. What do I have to download? Which kernel should I use?

Hi guys

I downloaded the newts one s Rom and saved it into my sd card. I tried to install it as usual through recovery as usual but when I select the zip file it shows that its a bad file. I tried several times but still failed.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Check the zip files md5, es file explorer will do that, and compare it to the md5 newt has posted. If it doesn't match, just keep downloading till it does, maybe with a different browser.

I was gonna post the md5 here but I can't find it, when I get off work ill get it if you haven't already.
[HTC EVO 3D] androidboy123:
Thanks for the reply. I did download the file with different browser but still it shows that its a bad file.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
The md5 suggestion is a good way to make sure there file is complete and not corrupted. If the md5 matches what newt has posted, then you can rule out any issues with it being a bad download.

my question is what is the nonandriod or cwm full backup and restore used to? fror example, after i backup, i flash my Phone from ucla3 to ics roms. then if i want to come back to the stock rom before flash. i need to find a stock romto reflash with odin or i can just do that with nonandriodrestore. the full restore for everying or just build , what about base and kenal? if i need reflash stock rom with odin anyway , why it is recommend full backup before flash. please give me an example to explain. thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pc103:
Nandrorid is like a snapshot of your phone's operating system state. Restoring a nandroid gives you a return to the way you booted and ran your phone's android version at the time of back up.

Not included are the modem or radio and the recovery image (like CWM or stock 3e). Those you can flash separately to change. User data held in phone storage after the backup must be saved offline (externally) before restoring. For me it means latest call logs, contacts and sms.

The nandroid restore wipes phone storage and recreates the standing configuration you backed up, like reimaging a raw PC hard drive Partitions, file systems, boot resources and data are all (re)applied in the process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] christianxin:
you means if i use custom sky ics now and i do a nandrorid restore, i can not go back to GB 2.36??(if i have done a nandrorid backup for 2.36 before i install the sky ics??)

You can but you'll need to flash the la3 radio first.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] electrosam:
Hello !

I recently bought a SE Xperia Neo which was running 2.3.4 without any problems.

I updated to 4.0.4 using SUS from my computer. After updating to 4.0.4 ICS I am experiencing the following issue-

Quite frequently (once or twice a day or so) the screen stops waking up. That is if screen is in sleep mode and if I press the Power/Wake Up/Lock-Unlock button, the screen does not come up. Only lights below Back-Home-Menu button at the bottom comes up.

In this condition, the phone is on, not like phone restarts or shuts down. If I call my number, phone starts ringing and vibrating but display doesn't come up.

The only way I need to follow is to pull up battery, reinsert and restart the phone. This is really being headache.

I have already done update once again using SUS (or reinstall) but the problem is there.

This problem wasn't there when I was using 2.3.4 for about a week.

Is anybody else experiencing the same problem ?

Any solutions please ?

Thank You

Hi everyone!

I have a Huawei U8180 and it is SIM locked.

1) Are there any free unlocking solutions on the internet (a specific site with codes or a hacking tool) ?

2) Is there any other methods to do this (ex: using USB cable and a specific software)

3) A ROM flashing will remove the lock?

4) Please recommend a good, cheap and trusty website for a paid solution.

Do you have a custom recovery? If not, look around for CWM or TWRP. After that, download a rom and you'll be on your way :) Use the custom recovery to flash it (rom threads have more specific instructions) CleanRom 2.6 is what I'm running and I love it. It's based off 1.85/1.88

I just updated from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and differences are big, but some problems stayed, like slow WiFi, notification light not working, camera seems lower quality than on GB... And, the thing I hate the most about new update is that I can't root my phone! I'm thinking about flashing if some other method doesn't show up...

@Lancerfq

Did you flashed your phone or you updated with PC Companion?
[Xperia Arc General] Lusterboi:
Make sure to do a pc companionship repair after you update. This will make the phone work properly. The only thing bad about ics is the stuttering camera recorder. You can fix this with stabilizer off. I wasnt paying much attention to this while on gb so can't say if it was any different.

Oh and no root yet, that's about it.

Are Samsung likely to release a firmware update to sort out issues like this? I don't really want to start having to flash a brand new phone to try and get it to work as it should out of the box...

it just disconnected again and it said "network disconnected - bad connection"

No probs. If I decide to go ahead and flash I will let you know how it goes.

But I just checked and the firmware I posted there that I was thinking of flashing is the one that's already installed on my phone, so not sure which one to go for and if it is trial and error, that means flashing one and working with it for a day and so on until finding one that works well.

That's a lot of effort for a brand new device! I will keep you posted on any developments though. Please do the same for me.

As a general rule for Samsung devices, at least for SGS2, most likely same here too.
