lol actually, i just came from Cobra ROM and yeah I cleared everything and flashed, but to no avail. I can always try again, but time's running out and I don't think it's going to work since Ive done it over 15 times in order to try everything
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Try flashing AOKP + GApps to see if the People vs Contact system is diff?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
That's a good idea, maybe once Scott reads his thread he will have some input for everyone.

Found an interesting read in another forum, which would confirm what error I saw in the logcat:

tehdef, try these two for me and see where you get. I'm trying to get my phone into another rom so I can try this out cause 1.85 won't let me root (the problem we have specifically screws up that exploit, go figure!) so let me know how it works. I'll be trying it in a bit so i'll update back when i test it out

...actually, tehdef, did you ever unlock your bootloader with the one-click without HTCDEV unlock at any point in time? This might help me out cause this might also be the problem. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Clearing contacts seems to work. My list is now populating.

Attempted to send text. Prepairing SIM Card returns.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Unfortunately the Android.acore process has stopped when I tried to sync my Gmail contacts after clearing everything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] natediddydude:
I'm having the exact same issues. I've usually been able to figure out all my own screw ups but just not this time. I too flashed cleanrom 4.1 using cwm because i failed at reading the directions. Got stuck at recovery and was able to install a 1.85 ruu and them proceeded to put twrp on it and flash cleanrom 4.1. Everything seemed fine but then i noticed that my xfinity email would open and and then quickly close. Didn't think much of it, but then i realized that also the phone and contacts do the same thing. I've tried everything but holy water to get this fixed including trying other roms, fixing permissions in recovery, clearing phone and contacts data, deleting db.journal file, and shaking the phone really hard....

Any ideas? :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Something is corrupt.

I want to put AOKP back on the phone, because I honestly think it's Sense related.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
lol at the shaking your phone really hard XD

Anyways, I have a theory:

there are two ways we COULD possibly fix this:

1. obtain a rom that has root. Get root explorer or somehow get into /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/ and delete .db-journal if its in there. Do this in conjunction with clearing out the data of all the affected apps and their sister apps (i.e. Contacts, Contacts Storage, Contacts Sync) and force stopping all of them. Can't test this cause bootloader refuses to unlock atm)

2.lock the bootloader, RUU to 1.82 (NOTE: NOT 1.85!) and try to unlock using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734558. REMEMBER take out your SIM card! but maybe this might help O.o not 100% sure if this is what caused it for me, so it's best to consider it too. Can't test this right now because I am stuck without a BL unlock and i can't get root on this firmware

*EDIT* ahahhahahah i lied. no sim card needed, so why would it rely on mobile data? ahh im such a silly person :p alright here goes!

i'll let you know when i get out of my pickle, but it might be a while. That, or i might just get pissed off enough to just go to the store and look like an idiot cause i really do feel like one right now and I need to get the phone working T_T

Keep checking back!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
So.... I have nothing in the Root/Data folder....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
that could be true. try that out and let me know cause from where i am, nothing's really working. I'll try the bootloader unlock thingy first and then try deleting .db-journal/clearing data and seeing if that helps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
I dont have an unlocked bootloader, and I won't for hours. If you go to the thread and DL it, you can probably do it faster than I can. It's only 150MB.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] natediddydude:
Thanks for the info! I already did the first one you mentioned but i guess i forgot to clear data in contacts storage. I can now open phone and contacts!!...... but its not importing my gmail contacts....so weird.

I also did the second one you mentioned as well. Although i forgot to take out my sim card... That didn't work either but i guess i feel good that im on the same track as others!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
lmfao sounds like it XD yeahhh i think that not removing the sim card might have contributed to this error. I think if we RUU back and then re-ran that without the sim card, it should technically work, but that's just a wild conjecture. XD hey you never know
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Have you thought about trying AOKP? If this is a Sense issue due to the differences in the akp's and files, it might be an easy fix. Stock Google knows better than all, tbh.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
haha trying but i cant even get the darn thing to root, much less do a bootloader unlock. what a weekend... lol

EDIT: JUST GOT IT TO ROOT awesomeeeee ok. gonna try the bootloader unlock, see if that fixes it, then try cleanrom again and delete those files, then try ASOP and then if all fails, im RUUing back and heading to ATT
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
were you guys having this problem before flashing cleanrom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] natediddydude:
Ok so i just put cleanrom 4.1 se on and couldnt get to the phone or contacts again. Cleared contacts storage and can now open them again. Contacts backed up on google still dont import and when i setup visual voicemail it opens up the dialer and says com.andriod.phone has stopped. It then dials though.....

Oh and when i try to use the dialer to call it gives me the process android.process.acore has stopped...

This seriously makes no sense! Haha get it....sense...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
not at all, my good sir. In fact, it only happened after we accidentally flashed CleanROM 4.1 with CWM. T_T but yeah working hard to reverse the damages.

yeah i know it doesn't (XD btw, i chuckled at the pun) but don't worry. still got another 10 minutes and one more method to try before i give up and head over to AT&T (its like a 2 minute walk from here)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
What's different about flashing with CWM as opposed to TWRP? I'm just trying to get more info in case something clicks from thinking this stuff through
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] natediddydude:
Nope, it happened when i made a big mistake and tried to flash cleanrom 4.1 with cwm and not twrp.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
He used Aroma installer this time around, instead of just a basic compiler.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Most of those are HTC tagged things. It's possible that AOKP might fix this, since it won't have any HTC stuff on it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
I thought Aroma worked fine for CWM?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
So did I.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Try this. Except skip the cwm part and install twrp at that point.

Sent from my HTC One X
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
Honestly, I might just keep CWM. AOKP is using a normal compiler. I like CWM's system better, and I dont want to have to deal with HOX's finnicky SD Mounting issue. Lol.

Maybe, maybe not. But thanks for sending that over here. I reached out to the op earlier before the cross post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
yo this sounds awesome. I'll let you know the results, but i think it should theoretically work.

Tehdef, did AOSP/AOKP work? Just wanted to figure out what our options are
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
In case you guys weren't aware, Scott just closed his CleanROM threads in the Development section.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tehdef:
[Solved?]

Here is what I did to break my phone.

I had the following MODS.

-AOKP 6.1

-CWM

Decided I wanted to test something on CleanROM 4.1

- Flashed CR4.1 in CWM

Got stuck in Boot Cycle and CWM would not load

1. Locked Bootloader

2. Installed 1.85 Evita RUU

3. Unlocked Bootloader

4. Installed TWRP

5. Flashed AOKP 6.1

At this point, I still had an issue. Instead of receiving the "Preparing SIM" Message, I had absolutely zero signal, and I could not "SAVE" an APN.

6. Rebooted to Bootloader

7. Reset to Factory while in AOKP

8. TWRP Loads

9. Reboot to System

My phone now has signal and full contacts and I can make calls and send Texts and MMS with no additional modifications. Please note that with AOKP Superuser comes installed and works just fine, so for whatever reason I did not have to root my device.

I want to give a big shout out to those who are also affected by this, and I hope it works.

I also want to give an apology to Scott. I realize that what I said may have upset you, however I do not wish for you to take it out on the other people here who do like and enjoy your ROM due to my thoughts and perception. That is entirely unfair to everyone else, and I full accept the blame of that, due to how you close out each of your threads. You have a lot of people supporting you, and don't be upset because of me being a generally ungrateful ****head. Honestly, I blamed you, and it was wrong. I should have not tried to flash a ROM within 5 minutes of waking up. But don't punish everyone else because of 1 person. I've always felt that the mentality of "1 person ruins it for everyone" while ultimately can be the case in many extreme situations, should never be the case in something as trivial in the grand scope of life as this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
Nice, so now we've got two options: one for those who don't mind AOSP and another for those who wanna get back on sense (in the OP). And glad it worked out for us in the end! =D Now let's get back to more modding :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTCFAN0923:
I had done everything except flash CWM back on as stated by the OP. It really does seem to be the important piece of the puzzle. ARGH!!! Back to RUU I go...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jojojohnson7410:
lol yeah i know, its infuriating having to flash with RUU so many times, given that the darn software just takes forever to load =\

However, I updated the OP. Hope it helps =D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTCFAN0923:
Very infuriating but thankfully, after 27 hours, It works!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cranch:
Just writing to say thank you for this! I had a horribly pooched phone for a number of days due to lack of reading directions from Scott. I've since repaired it and my apps no longer force close constantly! :)

Followed the steps word for word. Well done.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Today i decided to make my sensation a little bit sexier, so i bought some carbon fiber and attached it carefully and patiently :silly: to the back cover's alluminium. It's simple but it requires a lot of time to make it perfect! It took me about 4 hours :eek: my fingers are tired and so am i...but in the end it looks so freakin awesome!

these are the only things you will need

before applying the carbon fiber you would better clean the entire surface of the battery cover and then just apply the carbon fiber

to fit it better i've also used a hairdryer to heat it and spread it better

this is the final product you will get :D

oh, i forgot the hardest part :p now, when you've finished, you have to create all the holes for the volume bar, front camera, speakers, light sensor and finally the on/off switch :eek:

hope you like it ;)
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
Is that proper carbon fiber, or vinyl wrap?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Looks great! Where did you purchase the carbon fiber? Cost ? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] mclaren2:
thats looking amazing :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Awesome looking! Good option for our device.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I wonder how it would look on that white chrome back cover :-)

Sent From My Sexy Sensation Running Aokp.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
it is a carbon fiber film, the 3M by di-noc...i've spent 25 euros for 75x15cm :) but it doesn't require so much film...you will probably need only 15x15,,,that will be good
[HTC Sensation] klausel:
looks great

but i like the chrome finish, maybe the elastomere parts should be wrapped to make it more exclusive. i know there are many holes like camera, flash and mircrophone...!
[HTC Sensation] taschetto:
very nice! beautiful, indeed :)

where can u buy this carbon fiber?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
it depends on where you live :) google it
[HTC Sensation] mistajista:
Looks great! Nice work man.
[HTC Sensation] PP337:
Would this work just as well without the chrome back?

Just thinking about the paint possibly peeling off.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
yep, it should! :) there are almost no differences
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
hey nice work !

coud we have a picture from the front please? holes seem difficult to make btw :/
[HTC Sensation] tiguy99:
Just picked up some carbon fiber wrap to use on my new sensation I just picked up.

Thinking of placing mine on the antenna pieces and chroming out the middle part. More in a bit

[Desire HD General] goofylad:
hey

the day finally arrived last week when i joined the samsung galaxy s3 lot.... my dhd done me well and was by far one of the most indestructiable phones i have ever had!!!!

but am looking how to return the phone completely to stock and unroot so i can sell it to a mobile phone recycling site...

atm i have a custom splash screen, fully rooted and modded rom

looking to completely return to stock

whats the fastest and easiest way?
[Desire HD General] joooe:
Probably this:

http://www.htc.com/europe/help/htc-desire-hd/#download

and download HTC Media Link ROM Update for HTC Desire HD (1.11.0.0)
[Desire HD General] goofylad:
tried that it said failed model id

anyone any other ideas?
[Desire HD General] Quinny899:
I wouldn't agree with indestructible.

Use AAHK's return to stock option
[Desire HD General] apad:
For me it's still true. Dropped mine in the lift twice and my kid smash it directly to the TV rack (solid wood). Some dent visible a the edge of the screen (the plastic parts) and now some dirt is inside the LCD! Still working well :good:
[Desire HD General] lrm537:
Would returning to stock be the only way to get access to ICS OTA update? Or would flashing a rooted, but otherwise untouched, RUU version give me the option to check for (and install) the OTA When it finally arrives?

I'm guessing not as this would be a far too easy way to do things. :p
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
Yes you can flash the ruu and accept the ICS OTA even with S-OFF as long you got stock recovery (which you get from the ruu) and is not supercid.
[Desire HD General] lrm537:
Supercid? That's a new one to me. Heard of it.... Not a clue what it is. I'll give it a search later.

If I where to use the OTA, would that have any effect on root? As in would I lose it?

I'll most likely stay on Leedroid until a suitable custom ROM appears. I imagine that there's a ton of devs poised to whip out the finished article as soon as they get access to the kernel and source material needed.
[Desire HD General] Muikkuman:
You are most likely to loose root when you apply OTA
[Desire HD General] goofylad:
?

AAHK? anyone enlighten me? link?

thanks guys

Hey all,

As some of you have probably noticed by now, we have a new Development section for original works. As explained in the portal article Introducing the Original Development Forums, these forums were found to be very useful in other sections and there has been a lot of requests to add them for more devices.

Please refer to the article for general guidelines on what is and isn't appropriate to post there, and if you have any questions feel free to ask in this thread or to PM any of the moderators about it.

Those using Tapatalk or the XDA app will probably need to refresh the forums list in order to see it. You can do this by going to the base forum view that list all of the different devices and refreshing or by unsubscribing and then resubscribing to this section.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
Very cool idea
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
I haven't seen this before, but can understand why most would want this. Should make it much easier to find a specific thread. Especially for new comers. Very cool.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I think this is neat, since I'm only really interested in the original development anyway, because that tends to be more fun.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Leoisright:
Very nice. This will be extremely useful for devs.

edit: Hey Haus. Just an idea, but it would be nice to have a Recognized Dev forum with-in each device. One where we can collaborate and figure out mods together and have less chatter from non-devs. But a place where non-devs can still have access to links to mods and such. Just a thought. :)

Sent from my ClassicJewel
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aloupha:
The way I see it is that it creates more place to navigate through to look for roms and other work. I personally do not see the real need for it especially since both sub forums would contain the same kind of information except that one would have original work and the other would not. This could have been done a different way without completely creating a new sub forum that would produce a similar result. For example, the OP post could explain that it's original work or the thread title for all original work would be identified with a prefix of ORG.

At any rate, it seems that others see it useful and probably very helpful for developers. I am not bothered by it! However, I would have preferred things to stay the way they were.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
I'm just a little confused as to what defines original development versus non-original. Original meaning not ported from another device? As I browsed through the ROMs in each section I couldn't figure out what differentiated one from the other making it original.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
The announcement really details the difference.

For example, CM9 development is original because it's new and big and it's something that's being created.

ViperROM, for example, is not original because it is based on HTCs stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
Well that is what I thought would be the factor at first. Except ViperROM and others based on stock are in the original section while other stock based ROMs are not.

Edit: I re-read the announcement and maybe the difference is more apparent to other devs and not so much to the layperson but still sounds kinda subjective. Doesn't make much difference to me, just curious.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droiddawg:
So....might be a n00b comment and I'm completely blind but I do not see the original development forum on the xda app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
My apologies, when I checked the original section earlier it was nearly empty and only really had CM9. Looks like they moved a lot more over there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
There are a lot of times where someone with a low post count is able to help out a lot so we don't want to limit it too much, but making it so only RDs (and maybe RCs/RTs) can create new threads there may be a good idea. Try running it by them in the RD area to see if it's possible.

Unfortunately a lot of it is kind of subjective since it's a difficult thing to really define, but for the most part it depends on how significant the changes with the ROM are. It's very much a work in progress still so I apologize if things get bounced around some while it's all being sorted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Hmm, I'm not sure I like this but it will prolly grow on me.

Issue I have now tho is not being able to see this forum in the xda app..someone else mentioned it as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
As has already been mentioned, all you have to do is un-favorite the forum and then go back through the list and favorite it again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
xHausx, I like your work and appreciate all the explanations you give but I gotta say.. this new section is retarded.

Maybe it was needed in the Samsung forums but we don't need it here. It's just going to confuse a ton of people.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Wakawaka024:
I'm not a dev, so if they like the idea that's great. I just see it as a way for more silly arguments to start. I think that development is development the smallest of ideas is original. Seems like if you're in original then your work is somehow better. I guess we'll see how it works out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aloupha:
I think the most annoying part of this feature is having to look in two different places for the same thing and being unsure which forum your favorite rom(s) are located in. The more I use this (both on a desktop and on the phone), the more annoying it is. I don't think the average user care much whether the rom is original or not as long as it works well and do what it is supposed to do.

The idea behind adding this feature is great but its reality is not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
I was excited about the section but it all seems the same as before. Every mod, derivative rom, and other FAQs.

I think it probably would have best been split AOSP core and HTC core if you're going to split it at all, otherwise just leave it the way it was, as messy as it was.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Im not a fan of it either. I find it hard to differentiate between the two. I've read the announcement but I still find myself going into both looking for a specific thread. I think this will just confuse a lot of people but if the devs like it then ok...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
I'm a moderator, and I make roms and mods and themes, some of that is "original". I've written some tutorials for original things as well. Honestly I think this is silly. Maybe tag original dev threads or something like the "recognized" program. But differentiating dev threads seems like a lot more headache for devs and users alike. It's like making a new original themes section where the themer drew his images from scratch and wrote new xmls instead of modifying existing images and code. Who's idea was this? I fail to see it's benefit. If it is what it is then cool. But there's already RUU kitchen built roms in the "original" section, and though there may be "original" tweaks to said roms, I don't know that that makes them so. I'd love to have some transparent open discussion about this with users/devs/moderators alike. Thoughts? Counters? Etc?
