[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Hi guys. I've just got my brand spanking new HTC Sensation and i'm wondering what order to root/SOFF in and basically anything else as i've not done DIY rooting since my old HTC Desire a couple of years back so i'm a bit rust and confused.

I don't want to mess up and brick my phone so i'd like to know the things to do in the correct order and with the correct software/tools.

1st off i'll give the details about my device:

Phone - HTC Sensation Z710e

HBOOT - 1.27.0000

Android version - 4.0.3

HTC Sense version - 3.6

Software number - 3.32.771.13

Kernel version - 3.0.16-g159c6f3 / htc-kernel@u18000- build- 144 #1 / SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 3 08:37:16CST 2012

I hope that's enough info but I have more should we need it.

This is how i'm thinking of doing it but please correct me if i'm wrong:

1) S-OFF using the Juopunutbear S-OFF method.

2) Install CWM via this thread.

3) Once that's been done I can go about installing custom ROM's.

Hope that's correct.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
hmm as you are on stock ICS

there are few different ways to have root/custom roms

1.staying SON and flashing roms (this involves HTC-DEV unolcked bootloader ..which might void your warranty ...but not a single person was denied warranty until now afaik..but there is risk still involved..as htc keeps your phone info in their data base)

to do that follow this guide to the letter

2.SOFF and flash roms

2.1. SOFF without HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader ...guide link in my signature (ohh forgot to mention HTC-DEV will completely erase your data ..once you do a unlock)

(cons ....wire trick which is required is little bit hard..but all the troubleshoot has been covered)

2.2 SOFF with HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader....guide link here

(you can skip steps #2 and #3 as you are already stock ..igf you decided to use that)

for both the SOFF procedures ..there is a good tool too ..here is the tool (it not only does soff ..but a lot of other stuff...do check it )

after gaining SOFF ..you can flash recovery ..and then ROM installation :D
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
thanks for the reply. :)

So basically to do everything I should just use this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668276
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yep you can use that :D

and for thanks ..there is a button for that :p
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
I'm starting to lose it with this SOFF business. I've just beet at it far at least half an hour and it constantly fails with the error 66732337.

Could you link me to any ROM's that don't need SOFF please? Lost patience with this.
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
I've heard you have to be really precise with the wires :)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Haha i've literally just done it abour 20 seconds ago, tooted and SOFF! I can't get CWM to work though, i'm trying to flash it with that all-in-one job and i've donw everything it tells me to do but upon pressing the power button I get

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
For the wire trick it's a matter of timing don't give up.read over instructions again regarding the timing.I know you can do it is just going to take patience. You will be glad later you s off as there is more you can do and it makes things much easier later. Hang in there and I know you will have success . Best wishes.
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
All sorted now, needed to flash the 11111111 CID.

Off to try some ROM's, is there anything else I need to do before that? I've rotted it, SOFF and installed CWM. As far as I know that's it but if there's anything else please tell me.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
use 4EXT recovery ..its much better imho :D

for recovery ..you can do it via 4ext app

but for that you need root

you can use my one click root for that :D (soff guide link in my signature)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Damn i've just installed CWM, is there any difference between the two there than 1 having touch screen or do they have different functions? Don't really want to keep messing about if both are basically the same.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
some rom installation works only on 4EXT (it will be mentioned in the thread ..like ARHD)...so its you call ..it has lot of other features too ..and completely supports backup made by cwm too :D
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Alright, last few questions and i'll be gone!

Currently using the CM9 nightly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654409

1) How do I go about installing 4EXT with CWM already installed?

2) I've just installed CM9. When I have the ROM on my desktop, can I go into the 'app' folder and remove some of the crap I won't be using? Things like Email, Movie Studio, Terminal Emulator, DPS Manager, ROM Manager, Voice Dialer, WiFi Calling? I used to do this on my old HTC Desire and it was a trail and error process but it did not damage/brick my phone in any way, all I used to get were screen with 'this application is not responding' etc. Is this still safe to do on the HTC Sensation?

3) In CM9 Nightly, how come I can't overclock past 1.2Ghz (stock speed)?

Thanks guys. :)
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
1: if you have root, just download the app from play store :)

2: yes, you can :)

3: you need to flash a kernel supporting overclock, like bricked AOSP. :)

If you run into problems, let me know ;)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Alright, I lied about the 'final question'. :p

Basically i've uninstalled that 4EXT Easy Flash from here and it's replaced CWM. Works fine but i'm wondering if that's the newest version? Or could someone link me to the newest version please?
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
Download 4ext recovery updater free from the play store. It lets you update the recovery if u dont have newest version :)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Guys does anyone know the .apk name of 'Movie Studio'? Removing all the crap I won't use now and I can't find it in the app list folder.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
I found VideoEditor.apk in system/app on CM9 RC 1 :)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Got it, thank you very much!

Edit: I've also deleted 'Voice Dialer' and 'Update Me'. Hope that's O.K.
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Says it costs £1.85. :(
[HTC Sensation] InfinityFTW:
http://4ext.net/

Here you go, press download free and download the apk and install it on your device :)
[HTC Sensation] Buchtis:
Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] himanshumehani:
My HTC Sensation z710e switched off automatically, while it was in my pocket. Its not booting now.

I have tried charging for more than half an hour. The orange LED (for charging) is also not coming. Nothing comes up on screen too, not even a vibration.

I have tried holding the volume down button and power button also, nothing happens.

I have tried taking out the sim and sd card, then also nothing comes up.

Its not even rooted.

--

I got the ICS and sense 3.6 update a few days back, after that my phone switched off and start back automatically a few times.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
take it back to HTC ...faulty device ...and you are stock ..so nothing to worry about
[HTC Sensation] himanshumehani:
Thanks but..

Thanks fr the fast reply. But 'faulty device'? I used it for over a year now. 1 year and 16 days to be precise :) [I calculated it to knw abt the warranty]
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ohh i mean .the emmc is corrupted now after the ics update ..nothing can be done ..unless HTC replaces it afaik :)
[HTC Sensation] acondon:
Same thing happened to me.

Lasted a few days but was rebooting by itself while using it. Eventually it wouldn't even start up. Its in for repair but I expect it will be replaced.
[HTC Sensation] johan_b:
Same symptoms, SD card is the problem.

Hi,

My phone (HTC Sensation / ARHD Rom) didn't charge or boot either / no LEDs light while in the charger.

After removing the SD card (32Gb, used for a year) and SIM, the phone charged and booted up.

Placing the two back inside made it unable to boot up again.

Placing a new SD card 8Gb and the original SIM back solved the problem.

So the SD card is the problem. I tried it again and it really is.

But I don't understand how this can be? How can an SD card block a phone's charging / booting abilities? Anyone a clue?

Thanks,

Johan
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
backup everything from sdcard to pc

format it and put it again

see if it boots

1. Is it possible to set a lockscreen wallpaper?

2. Is it possible to rotate the homescreen to portrait. That is about the only way to use it with a stand?

3. The calendar widget is there anyway to make it display the month instead of just the day?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timbermill:
1. Not in the default options. Yes with a lockscreen app.

2. Not in the default options. Yes with a different launcher or rooting and changing dpi. (Assuming you mean 'landscape', portrait is the default)

3. Not in the default options. Yes with Android Pro Widgets.
[Nexus S General] PrometheanGeek:
I have a bizarre issue running 2012-07-13 nightly of CyanogenMod 9 on my Nexus S.

I programmed my SIP credentials, and I can connect and receive calls with no problem. But even when I disable "receive incoming calls", I still receive them. I've confirmed that the phone stays connected to the server. the only way I can get it to stop is by going in and changing the password to something incorrect, or rebooting the phone.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nrod0784:
Anyone else try this app out yet? Looks like a pseudo flip board type app. Like it so far.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] msfguard:
I have used it a little since it came out, and more so since the new update has hit with JB, just a quicker way to access stuff with a really nice UI.

It's pretty good, something to read when you get bored or is out of data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ddubs:
I've found it to be a hybrid combination of Pulse and Flipboard... and not as good as either, lol. It looks pretty, but I (personally) found navigation inside Currents to be a bit wack. Reverted to using Pulse and Flipboard/ uninstalled Currents after using it for two weeks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I like flipboard much better. It looks great on this screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Installed the stock Rogers ICS UXLF4 update through kies today. It is missing SNote. I tried to install versions of SNote from my previous ROMs but all lead to FC. May be a deodexxed issue?? Anyone have any info on why SNote was not included on this Canadian ROM and anyway to get it reinstalled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
Samsung Apps ?

I got mine from Samsung Apps, have you tried that yet ? No S Voice yet though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
There was no S-note in samsung apps when I looked. Samsung apps even updated and I even registered. There was MyStory among a host of other s-pen apps but no s-note. Anyway to send a link to the download?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
s note

I am not too sure how to post the link that I found through my phone. All I did was search s note, try typing it exactly like that ? I am on version 2.7.032, if that helps ? Samsung Apps, not play store right ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Since I am using the phone on ATT I must be blocked. I see every other s-pen and note apps out there. But no S-note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Got to thinking about S-note. It requires lib files that can't be installed with an apk. So I don't think you can get it on Samsung Apps. I know a few said they did but it must be another app. I am taking an educated guess that it will be a software update soon available OTA or by kies. I tracked down the lib files and installed snote from the latest ATT ICS update and all is working well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
Great

I just realized (dummy me) that I could login to Samsung Apps thru my pc,

hxxp://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00008171807

I think this is the proper link & changed the http to hxxp, I hope this allows you to see what I see, as well as a friend of mine, we are in Canada tho, not too sure if that makes any difference ?:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I was able to see the S-note app. But is says it is only for the GT-I9220. What do you see on that page for available devices?

I was also able to get Kies to show samsung apps. Had to hack my registry to say CA instead of US for Kies and now samsung apps shows up. But it still says the SGH-I717R is not supported.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
Hmmmm

Yes, I see GT-I9220 also, very strange because I have it on my I717R. I have noooooo idea how I could help now, any suggestions ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Trying to figure out which way I should go. I can't login with my canadian login on my phone itself. It says wrong country. I can login to samsung apps now (country hacked) and see samsung apps. But it says my phone is not supported. Can you login to samsung apps through kies and see if the I717R is supported? Either samsung does not support branded phones through kies or the I717 series is temp pulled from the site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
Kies How ?

Unfortunately, I can't seem to log into Samsung Apps thru Kies ? I can't find the option ?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I am guessing that we are both blocked on samsung apps through kies. The I717 phones are also not compatible with samsung apps on kies probably because they are all branded devices. I am sort of blocked on samsung apps on the phone cause I am in the USA. I can log into SA of US but not of Canada. US does not have the s-note download. So basically samsung shut the door on canadian phones in the USA from downloading s-note and possibly other important apps.

I have the version from the ATT ICS ROM installed. Not the same version but good enough for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] input80:
modem ?

Just a thought, have you thought about trying to put the ICS Rogers modem in your phone (not sure if it is possible) ? Mine is showing I717RUXLF4.

I don't know if this would help at all ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I have that modem. My phone is 100% Rogers except for being rooted and my location is in the USA. Haven't changed my sig yet as I don't know which direction I am heading.
[HD2 General] rin67630:
Hi experts here,

I love my HD2 with Energy ROM, but one thing really annoys me: this thing dials numbers intempestively, whenever I did not switch it off and put it on my pocket. Hasnt' the LEO got a proximity detection preventing this? Is that one defective? How to test if it works?

Thanks for your help.

RIN
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
i think you just invented a new word. My HD2 doesn't do that. have you got the slide-to-unlock feature enabled?

EDIT: apparently not ...

In`tem`pes´tive`ly

adv.	1.	Unseasonably.

new to me though.
[HD2 General] Realalist:
The proximity sensor only works when the phone is actually in use.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I'm a bit lost with the begining of your statement. You basically said "this thing dials numbers (intempestively)" intempestively meaning unseasonably..which means not suitable to or appropriate for the season. Are you asking how to test the proximity sensor? I run the same ROM and when I'm done with a call I make sure the lock screen comes up before putting it back in my pocket. I never really have a issue with the phone dialing numbers its not supposed to. I say really because there are times in which my phone will pocket dial or some people say butt dial a number. This happens occasionally with evey phone.
[HD2 General] rin67630:
Unseasonably also means:

2: In an undue, uncalled-for or unwarranted manner.

3. In an inappropriate, unbefitting or incongruent manner.

4. In an unfit or inadequate manner.

5. In an incongruous, inopportune, timeless or ill-timed manner.

6. In a wrong, indecorous or incorrect manner.

7. In an incommodious or inconvenient manner.

8. In a premature or immature manner.

9. In an irrelevant or inconsequent manner.

all of them matching, isn't it?

(Source Merriam Webster)

I currently I have the slide lock installed, and I'm not sure any more it is due to a dysfunction of the the proximity sensor,

I maybe have got a slack joint on my headset jack input instead, I had experienced this unwanted dialing also just on pluging a plain audio cable...
[HD2 General] rin67630:
...we have got enough intrusions of English words into our beautiful French language, so I am happy to counter from time to time with French terms that made it in Shakespeare's mother tongue.

:p
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I looked at several sites to look that word up including Webster and unreasonably was the only definition. Huh.

Anyway back to the problem. I really never heard of anything like that. Just plugging in an audio cable has made good phone dial numbers...seems like some hardware related issue. I take it you don't have any insurance through to carrier? I'll try to look around and report back since this issue had sparked my attention now.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Hello,

i would like to read stored password for my wifi network.

According to article on internet, i have to open file data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf. To read this file, i must have rooted phone and open in file explorer. Unfortunatelly im running on stock Desire S ROM, no root, no custom recovery, nothing. Phone like from box.

Is there any way to get access to mentioned file ?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Yes - root your phone.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Temp root is enough. No need to S-OFF or bootloader unlock, and these 2 also will wipe your phone, so you won't get the data anyway. But if you can run ZergRush and get temp root shell - it will be enough.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Thanks,

i did it ;)
[HTC Desire S] Yousuf Abid:
how??? I need help also..
[HTC One X] max_3000:
Hey guys.

So for obvious reasons, most ROMs need wiping - which is fine. But when I got my HOX, it was semi-second hand (dude bought it, didn't like after a couple of weeks) so I did a factory reset wipe from the bootloader and I noticed it deleted all the pictures and music that were in the /sdcard/ folder.

Now, I have a TON of music and pics in there - filling out most of the 32gigs. Is there a way to wipe without deleting everything in that folder? Backing it up each time is going to be a pain.
[HTC One X] E_Goldstein:
Erm you need a pc to flash so copy the stuff you wanna keep to the pc befor you flash....
[HTC One X] smithr179:
Not so.

Ignore the previous post, but when you factory wipe/wipe dalvik cache/ or any rom related wipes, you do not touch the part of the memory that your HOX has designated as SDCARD, therefore anything that is saved to an area that you can access from the phone while its running Eg. pictures songs videos and such will not be affected, it only affects the internal section, the rom/internal apps/and system settings.

Remember to hit thanks <3

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Sorry, missed one part, do not do a factory wipe from the bootloader, this is a complete refresh to the state it was in from factory, instead if you have rooted i would recommend installing a custom recovery, like CWM or something, so when you do the factory wipes and such, it will not affect the /SDCARD/ area.
[HTC One X] eyosen:
With CWM 5.8.4.0, bootloader's factory reset option takes you automatically to Recovery screen, so all files on SDCARD remain untouched unless you format your SDCARD from recovery.
[HTC One X] max_3000:
Thanks you guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaodx:
I have a AT&T I717, but don't like the AT&T ICS since I cannot use tethering with Bell network. I am not sure if there is any chance to install Bell official ICS on it. I tried Kies on download mode, but if I input my sn and model number SGH-I717M, it always pops up an error message. I am not sure if the OTA works. Do you guys have similar experiences? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] samic:
If you have a AT&T i717 chances are you will not get office Bell ICS. There are a few way of getting tethering to work, BTW.

1) Flash official AT&T ICS, use tethering app like FoxFi

2) Flash official AT&T ICS, root it, use hacks such as Ultracfg trick

3) obviously, flash custom ROMs

4) Wait until devs use Canadian ROMs as base*

* P.S. Not seeing that happen soon though since folks already on LF5 or LF6 but Canadian ROMs (at least for Bell) is only on LF4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jckpsa:
You can use TELUS Stock ICS;

Much appreciated, guys. I will try the Telus ROM first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaodx:
After using odlin to flash boot and system, system halts on Telus LTE page.

No idea if it's caused by AT&T modem because I did not flash it yet.

Anyway, go back to AT&T official ROM and use FoxFi now.

Anybody know how to get NFC smart tags to work? I've got hold of some Sony xperia tags and can't get them to work with the one x. Any ideas or know of any apps?
[HTC One X] Willy318is:
Hi there, NFC is just crazy man, I can do Magic using them.

You need NFC Task Launcher, its a paid app that you can find in Google Play Store, once you get it installed, you can then erase the contents on your xperia tags, and put whatever functions using that App, you can actually WRITE your NFC Tags with this app too.

Examples of what you can do are:

1. Embed URL info in Tag, i.e. your Facebook URL.

2. Adjust Profiles from Brightness, Volume levels, Wifi toggles BT, etc.

3. Embed your Business Card information.

4. Embed TEXT of your liking

5. Embed a Message.

6. Delete Contents currently stored on Tag.

For example I'm using 1 Tag in my car, that whenever I enter my car, it turns on Bluetooth, connects to my iDrive system (BT Phone), turns off WiFi, Starts CoPilot Navigation, and sets my brightness to MAX.

1 Tag beside my Bed, that turns off all WiFi, BT, Mobile Network, turns volume to 20%, Brightness to 30%

1 Tag in Office, Sets Volume to 40%, Turns on WiFi, Connects to my exchange server using WiFi, Update Market Apps through WiFi.

You get the Idea!

Hit [Thanks] if I have shed some lights on NFC Usage :)

Any questions, Just Ask or PM me!
