try to remove the battery for 5 mins, when is removed click some times power button; reinsert battery and try to go in recovery.... i had same problem and i solved with this method
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
@ dante96: No, that's not working for me - still just get the Vodafone screen. I think that everything on the phone was erased and without recovery on it i won't be able to recovery-mode, am i right?

Yesterday something weird happened. I just tried a

fastboot reboot-bootloader

and i got a lot of output - about CID, SuperCID, device-number, partitions and whatever, but i hadn't the time to copy that or try other things.

I tried that command again later and just got "remote: not allowed". It seems like i missed a chance to recover the phone yesterday. :crying:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
Ok, what i know right now:

My phone does take sappimg.zip after command:

fastboot oem lock

BUT:

My phone is not 32A as shown, it's 32B - i can't flash files for 32A because of "Lack of heap", so the files seem to be to big to unzip to RAM.

That's why i can't flash 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada to get it running.

For 32B there is only one official rom higher than 3.12.0.0:

3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D

Tried to flash this one, it's updating boot und bootloader but after unzipping radio the screen turns black and nothing happens - tried it 3 or 4 times right now.

This got me from:

*** UNLOCKED ***
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.00[COLOR="Red"]14[/COLOR] (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10

HBOOT-1.33.00[COLOR="Red"]13[/COLOR] (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-6.35.08.29

And i know that my Goldcard is correct - with another SD-card i just get "wrong model id" with the sappimg.zip mentioned above (3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D).

Does anyone have an idea what to do next or why screen turns black?

Some of the official roms for 32A are splittet into one 10 MB and one 90 MB file (for example this one "RUU_Sapphire_Rogers_WWE_3.05.631.7_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe"), i think i could flash those - BUT i can't find those files for 3.54.527.6 BrightStar Brazil or 3.54.631.3 Rogers Canada. Anyone does?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AJAX XIII:
Can you get those files from the temp folder?

Check htcdev.com under the unlock bootloader section for files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
Got mine back to life.

I flashed SPL 1.76.0013 from htcdev.com (Vodafone generic) and tried to install "3.12.531.1 T-Mobile USA FRG83D" again. With this SPL he managed to flash the radio but aborted afterwards.

Back on 1.33.0013 i tried the same rom again, now he flashed all of it. The phone is working so far - now i have to try to get a non-perfect SPL on it and afterwards a custom rom...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AJAX XIII:
Was the Bootloader locked or unlocked when you got that to work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
I flashed the SPL from htcdev when it was locked. Then they sent me an unlock-token which i just tried, so it was unlocked afterwards.

But i think i had to lock it again with

fastboot oem lock

to let the phone take those sappimg.zip without error.

Now i'm stuck again - i want Cyanogenmod on the HTC. But i can't get a non-perfect SPL with update.zip on it (and also no engineering SPL), in recovery-mode it just says "E: Signature verification failed - installation aborted" - but those SPL are signed. :confused:

Looks like i have to read some more. :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AJAX XIII:
Did you rename the engineering SPL to sappimg.zip and try it in HBoot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
No, copied it to SD-card and renamed it to "update.zip". Then i bootet in Recovery-Mode with Home+Power and applied the update.zip from SD-card. This gave me the error from above.

I think the phone won't take it in hboot when it's renamed to sappimg.zip.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AJAX XIII:
If you SPL is perfected you need to follow these instructions

1. Create a Goldcard.

2. Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.

3. Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.

4. Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.

5. Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.

6. (Upgrade to the rooted ROM of your choice).
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] matzehtc:
That didn't work, because my main-version was to high.

I rootet the phone with this tutorial and got the recovery on my phone.

Afterwards i installed an engineering SPL in recovery-mode. With this i got back to "1.91.162.1 Vodafone Germany DRC92".

I rootet the phone again with the tutorial above and installed Cyanogenmod.

Everything working fine! :angel:

I got my mainver from 3.12.0.0 to 3.57.0.0 by getting the file from the temp folder but it didn't really help me.

I think the problem must be the goldcard. I'll try borrowing my Dad's phone this weekend and see if I can fix it.
[HTC Sensation] phantom v:
hi

i have a sensation xe.

i s off"d it with revolutionary tool before ics update.

now i am thinking of flashing ordroid 9.0.0

i just want to ask whether it is okay to proceed with flashing a custom recovery and then the rom or are there any extra steps i must take??
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
S off is security off if you do not s off you will have to flash rooms differently and you will not have as much freedom. Its best to s off in my onion if possible. Do search read guide about how to s off. I am rooted and s off and it makes flashing really easy in my opnion.

So go ahead and s off. Before you flash rom make sure and have correct firmware for the rom. Ics takes 3.32 firmware. Gingerbread roms take a different firmware. I use mostly ics or 4.0.3 roms so I use 3.32 firmware. This is the one you will need also for the ics rom. You can find the firmware in Android development. So s off get your firmware then you should be able to flash your rom. Best of luck and hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
well, if you're already S-OFF and all is good, go ahead and flash a custom recovery of course, either CWM or 4EXT...then as realsis mentioned, you'll need a 3.32 firmware for ICS. if you're already SuperCID, go to the relative thread and download the first one you find. follow the flashing instructions and all will be good.

also, you will need to super wipe before flashing a new sense 4 ROM.

that said, please backup your original ROM before flashing a custom ROM.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Since you are s-off via Revolutionary,you should be fine to flash custom recovery and custom ROM.

Does it still say "Revolutionary" in your hboot ,after your OTA update?

:)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Don't forget your firmware! Very important OK. 3.32 for ICS roms. Best wishes happy flashing!
[HTC Sensation] phantom v:

thanks for the replies dudes.

[HTC Sensation] LilLo517:
are you guys saying that your done with the rom cause there is no link to the changelog or anything it for 5.05
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
Yeah insert coin sense 3.6 is done with no more updates unless these is a new firmware /ruu leak which has significant new features..
[HTC Sensation] Piczkolot:
But IC is in 5.5.0 version not 5.0.5

So what a problem. I think if ICS will have very cool update than baad will do update.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
I'm running the SkyICS rom with the ICS lockscreen and one thing I love is that there is the option to either unlock the phone or to directly open the camera app, which is handy because very often I'm getting my phone for the sole purpose of taking a picture. I was wondering, is there any way to customize or has anyone made a customized lockscreen that has other apps available on it? I'd like to have a lockscreen where depending on where/how you swiped you could go directly to camera or sms or the web browser or the general unlock. Does such an app/mod exist, or is there a way to do it manually?

Thanks

Edit: Apparently I forgot the original bit of advice before "Search is your friend" is "GOOGLE is your friend." Looks like WidgetLocker LockScreen may be a good option. Before I throw down $2.99, is that what I'm looking for? Also, can we confirm that it works well with ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WA_Bob:
I use Widget Locker and, if you have a few tasks you do consistently and don't want to open up the phone to access everything, then it's very useful. It does work with ICS, but if you're just interested in being able to open the camera it's not worth the money. It's worth it if you want to access more features at once, like the dialer & e-mail & SMS & camera because it's very customize-able.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
I use Widget Locker as well. Works great, very customizable (especially with all of the themes available here)

Well worth it if you want to truly make your lockscreen your own. I've combined it with Missed It so I can see texts/calls/emails at a glance.

All the JTAG does is force the phone into download mode. If you can already get into download mode, JTAG wont hep you with anything.

If you're having a problem flashing things in download mode, and you've read the return to stock guides, search for your Odin error here. If still nothing, create your own thread for support.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
I had been playing with the VM Heap size. My note was working fine with the value of 128m and 64m. However after tried changing down to 32m the Note's re-start stuck in glowing SAMSUNG logo with no choice but to re-flash ROM.

So guys be careful playing with this tweak. I won't touch it again and leave it at default setting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zylor:
I actually always put it on 128Mb to have a smooth experience!

VM Heap is the maximum memory allocated for an application to run smoothly!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
I checked VM Heap size on my stock rooted ICS last night and found that it's 256m. So I think the 128m is not optimum for Note.

My bad.. 128 is for SGS2 lol :D

you are right my friend :p

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LowDef:
What is the benefit for reducing it to 128m? or even increasing it higher?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alex3305:
Although your thread title is right, your information can be a bit misleading.

The heap is a Java term that is used for storing application related resources into memory. For instance layouts, Java-code, strings or arrays with information. But in all versions below Android 4 (ICS), The default size an application needed was about 3MB for this. Bitmap's were placed outside the heap for some stupid reason. That's why one could get away with an heap size of 32MB or even lower. At the time this was probably a good idea because devices tended to have small internal memory (256MB or 512MB) and so Bitmap's could be swapped by the OS.

Anyway, with current devices and the current state of Android, the Bitmap's - which are a large portion of the allocated memory - are placed inside the heap. Also if you turn on to force GPU an app will use an extra of 8MB internal memory. So if you would add things up, you would at least need about 11MB for only starting the program. About 1MB for random values and quite a lot of memory for 'non-compressed' images. I guess about 16MB if your device would want to draw the entire screen without any compression with one 16-bit image! After which your app would use about 40MB of memory.

Now, take the Android launcher for example, that's an app with loads of images cached in memory. So my guess is that an app like that would use around 70 - 80MB of heap size just to run in GPU mode. This shouldn't be a problem with today's devices as we have more and more internal ram and processor speed available to use. So I think the ideal sweetspot for todays apps should be 128MB, as you could fit about ~6 apps running at once in the main memory. If you put the heap size at 256MB you could run about 3 apps at once. Including drawing.

Galaxy Note I : I did a big mistake... please help

Hi, guys.

It's a pity I didn't read your advice earlier, before I make my mistake.

I have the Galaxy Note I, rooted, and everything was working fine.

I had this evening the bad idea of trying to tweak VM Heap Size.

Previously set at 64m, and I tried to set it up at 36m. The application asked me confirmation for reboot, and from that moment, I cannot complete the boot anymore. I'm stuck at SAMSUNG logo, and that's all...

I didn't install CWM recovery or anything like that...

Do you have any idea of how I could get rid of that, please, without loosing all my data ?

(I'm posting from France, I'm sorry for my English, I hope you will understand my questions)

Hi,

for build.prop modif problem like this and you are stuck at boot.

If your device is rooted,you have the ability to recover this noob modification!

If you use flashTool or something like that(maybe odin)

start the program and connect your phone stuck at boot logo.

The program reconize your phone.

now ask for root permission(for ok response,you need to have register your device before in the program,if not the ask could not be done and you are dead at this point !)

now you have root acsess there is an option in the program to write in build.prop/edit file

So load it and give the right path in and change thing you have made wrong(VM=64/128/256)

Save it and reboot

Done!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] webflo:
Hi all,

As there is specific thread for our Xperia Sola, I created my topic here. Sorry if I was wrong :/

I have a question about the management of the internal storage and the sd-card storage. Because it seems that my phone is considering my "sd card" as the internal storage.

When I connect my phone to my PC, I can see the internal storage and my sdcard content (as I choose MSC as connection type). But I can't see the content of my SD card directly from my phone. I tested with EStrong file explorer and the folder "/sdcard/" point to the internal storage. Same thing with Solid Explorer...

So I took Root explorer to sse behind the scene and I understand that my sdcard is mount in "/ext_card"..

So, this behaviour is really annoying: what's the meaning to have a sdcard input if I can only use the internal storage ? As I have a external storage, I would like to not use the internal storage. How can I do this ?

Thanks for your answer :)

Your external SDcard (/ext_card) is only for photos, music and videos.... No for aplication data. Yea that's really annoying. But i have read somewhere that you can (after root) edit the mounting points and mount your SDcard to sdcard. But there is no one who tried that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kevlud:
