[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you cant run ICS roms as of now ..as your firmware is still old one ...i.e. of ginger bread one

so if you now wanted a bootlable phone ..find some GB rom ..and flash it as you did earlier (flash via recovery and then manually flashing boot.img)

if you want ICS rom ..then its tedious process for you

1.first you cant update firmware while Being SON (mark my words and ignore if anyone said to update to 3.32/3.33 firmware when they know you are SON)

2.first you need to soff... you need to relock the bootloader and then should try revolutionary

(unlocking is easy process ..just get the Unlock_code.bin to adb/fastboot folder and fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)

3.if revolutionary failed with zerg root failed error ..(cant do root ..something error )... you need to unlock the bootloader again

flash the stock recovery...using this post

4.after having stock recovery .relock bootloader again and you need to try revolutionary with tacoroot ..which is automated in this tool

5.once you got SOFF flash the 3.33 universal firmware ...firmware link here

6.then flash a custom recovery (preferably 4EXT ) and then your custom ICS ROM

[HTC Rezound] Burkejt1:
So in the beginning of July I dropped my Rezound in some water, and it voided those water sensors on the back, and thought it has been functioning fine, you can notice that there is/was water under the very back of the screen when it is a white screen and it messes up from here to there but has worked alright. So I used my upgrade in March to get this phone and Verizon basically said I can buy a new phone at full price or else I'm screwed and stuck with it. Besides just finding someone on craigslist, ebay, etc.. anyone got any ideas on how I can get a new Rezound on the cheap or anything else 4g from Verizon on the cheap that isn't a turd, or somehow I can get a discount?

Just looking for any input, I'm fine with it now, but it's just annoying, and I'm not sure how long the phone will be operational.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Ur pretty much screwed bro
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Do you not have insurance on your line?

Check out TeamBAMF's marketplace... they have some Thunderbolts and Rezounds for sale there.
[HTC Rezound] Antoine.WG:
Plug it into a charger, wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a bag of dry rice and let it sit for a few days. I've saved an iPhone and a camera that way.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Putting it on a charger doesn't even make any sense
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Why do you plug in the charger?

Perhaps a little heat to help drive out the water? Just my guess.;)
[HTC Rezound] Tag798:
You can buy replacement stickers on Amazon.... Replace the stickers and warranty that **** :D
[HTC Rezound] Antoine.WG:
Exactly. Putting it on the dashboard of your car works too, just make sure it's completely covered in rice so it doesn't get too hot. After all, you can bake cookies on your dashboard nowadays.

Oh! I forgot to mention taking the back off, for better airflow. Removing the battery, SIM and SD card don't hurt either, but I don't think the charger will work if you remove the battery. None of my other phones ever have but I've never tried it with my Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] anubis2k3:
No, it doesn't work without a battery. Unless your in bootloader. :p
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Putting it on the charger can make the water damage worse. Put it in the sun or something but don't put it on the charger. Water + electricity = kablam

Thanks for the input everyone
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
He did say it's been working fine other then the water in the phone...
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
You can check the marketplace here on XDA too. I've seen some rezounds for around $200.
[HTC Rezound] Antoine.WG:
We're only talking about 5V, 1A, which isn't a lot of power. Yes, at high voltage or high current, water and electricity don't mix but I'm sure he's charged it since he dropped it. I've saved devices in exactly this way in the past. Screens are the the hardest part to save, though. The touchscreen on my old iPhone needed to be replaced because the bottom half stopped responding to touches and the camera has a very faint shadow in the screen if you hold it at a certain angle in bright light. Both devices otherwise work perfectly but I hardly use them any more because they've been replaced by my Rezound.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loug002:
So I'm loving the Nexus 7 (I even side loaded my first three apps today) I have some apps that require things to be loaded onto them.

..but I'm not sure how to get the downloaded times, once I find them onto the nexus 7. Could I just save them to drop box then add them to the nexus 7? email them to myself?

Any advice?

Downloading console roms is illegal. Don't be a villain.

So how much of your music is legal then?

Thank you btw for derailing this thread.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randpost:
Sorry man, but it's against XDA rules to talk about rom downloading etc. It's illegal. You won't get the answer you seek the way you posted your question.

Also; All my music has been purchased via Itunes, Amazon, and Google. I prefer Amazon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loug002:
Yeah, I bet it has.

Anyway, you could have said that, or even done it via PM. We both could have saved this trouble that way.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromet:
Downloading Roms is NOT illegal if you own the game in the first place. I myself personally own every game system from the Atari 2600 all the way through to the 360. I own literally thousands of games for consoles and PC.

Don't make assumptions.

..Gromet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagle1337:
Wrong, it's actually illegal to download a rom if you own the game, It's not illegal for you to make a back up of your game though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makaijin:
This may sound obvious but have you tried using your USB cable? The cable that comes with the N7 works as a data cable as well you know, not just for charging.
[HTC One V] ephaedrus:
A friend just got a One V from Virgin and she has asked me to sort out her contacts. I have looked at it and there is a + sign in the edit section of contacts but it is faded out and you can't add multiple numbers for a contact. I set up her samsung phone before with a custom ROM and contacts worked just fine.

Has anyone heard of this happening before? Is it something that is just part of the HTC One V package that Virgin has bought or is there something obvious that I am missing? I also have my own android phone (blade) running CM7 and the contacts works just fine in that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

eph
[HTC One V] nunein:
Just an idea: could it be that your friend stored the contact at the SIM card (not in the phone storage)?
[HTC One V] ephaedrus:
thanks..

Yup, silly me. Never thought of checking whether she had installed the contacts to the phone or the sim. Once on the phone everything worked fine.

Much appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
I had a preorder on the device when I received it I noticed the etf states up to 175.00
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Who else anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
I've got that beat as both of mine came with paperwork that says the ETF is $0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Smok3d:
I guess I tied you cause my ETF is 0 dollars as well. Lmfao, I wanna see could I cancel and escape these fees.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
Mine also says $0. Wait wait wait...so does this mean we can cancel whenever for free and keep the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
Both of mine say "Early Termination Fee: $0" too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
Mine's 0 as well. There was a thread about this over at AndroidCentral. I'd bet the 0$ ETF folks renewed their unlimited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
I will have to check mine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hilbe:
Did you steal the upgrade from a dumb phone? If so, their system gets confused. If you got a smartphone, your ETF is double that. I saw it when I got the letter and called to confirm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
Not sure about the unlimited aspect as only one of mine had GF unlimited on it. The other line had a regular 2GB plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
No have had a smart phone since I was 13. I'm 25 now lol. I kept my unlimited data hence the preorder. I'm pretty salty that some of you have a 0 dollar etf. Verizon will honor this it's a contractual agreement so don't be bullied when they try to push the 350 etf. Anyways your etf goes down like 13 dollars or something every month. So 6 months down the road I will toss this phone out and get something new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
I received updated confirmations via snail mail today and both lines now state an ETF of $350. I wonder how that all plays out since I also have confirmations that state it's $0. Since I'm not planning on leaving VZW at the moment it's sort of moot.

Since there was no list of info or thread with uses for OTG, I decided to create this.

What is it?

USB On-The-Go is an adapter/cable that allows you to plug normal usb devices into your micro-usb port. You plug the normal USB appliance, like a flash drive, into one end of the adapter. You plug the other end into your phone and you're good to go.

[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
I recently got my Droid X2 and love it but being in the automotive industry im worried ill drop it or it will slip out of my pocket while im working around the cars in the shop. Ive seen a friends otterbox defender and i just dont like how the rubber will come off and you have to push it back in the little grove on the sides. Ive seen the Trident Kraken 2 and Electra, on amazon it says they are both 1 inch thick, i want to know is there any difference in thickness between the two, also on the Electra where you cant use a battery door im worried water or moisture will get to the inside of the phone and mess it up. If anyone can clear a these things up thanks i need a case soon.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Ive had the Electra for months now and I'll never look back, never had a problem with it, i charge my phone every other night and necer come close to it dying. It will NOT be sliding out of your pocket (we wear the same "jumpsuit overalls" in my line of work) unless you plan on being completly upside down and getting shaken at the same time
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
Ive been looking at amazon over the past few days and the kraken 2 is 29$ currently and the electra is 50$ currently, i charge my phone every night but from 7 am to 12 midnight i have about 30% left to 45% left of the battery, it depends on how much i use my phone per day for calls and such. The only thing pushing me away from the electra is the battery is kinda exposed, im just worried about mosturie getting it and messing up the phone, it looks like theres a little bit of rubber that the outside shell can press against to keep stuff out but thats been in the back of my mind thinking about the cases. On amazon the kraken 2 is 1 inch thick and the electra is also 1 inch thick? If you dont mind LordRalh3 meassuring it for me just the thickness is all im kinda worried about. Thanks, and i do have the get under some cars on a creeper is the only time im worried about the phone sliding out of my pocket.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I dont quite follow, there is no case that is actually waterproof? Ive never used my phone while swimming or playing in the rain and i dont recommend anyone doing that, ive not had a problem with moisture even in 90%humid with me sweating for 12 hours straight... Just under 7/8 of an inch thick and as to the battery being exposed.... Not sure what you mean, this is the most protective case made period, including otterbox, original kraken, liquipel, z shield, or any other things you've seen. The kraken 2 got horrible reviews btw, doesnt snap together properly and wears out quick, kraken original or electra is what you want.

And the creeper under the car is a non issue you'd have to litterally be upside down and getting shaken for this to fall out
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
Thats not as thick as i thought it would be, im starting to lean toward the electra, i guess im just more protective about my phone. Im gonna try to keep my x2 for as long as i can. The only two complaints ive read about the electra is the proximity sensor hole can get some dust in it and the sensor wont work, i can just blow that out no big deal, but ive also read where the screen protector on the electra sometimes wont let me pull the notification bar down. Thanks for the help though i just want buy something that is going to be good, cuz money dont come easy nowadays.

I would buy it now but the price went back up :/
[Motorola Droid X2] ghostcamed302:
I broke down and bought a kraken 2 case and love it, I would have likes to get the Electra but I needed a case quickly and didn't have much to speed but Ill keep my eye on the Electra and might buy it down the road.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
You tried the all in one toolkit?

Or the new virtuous Rom ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I thought getting S-Off would be hard with the new bootloader. All you really need is some free time (Hour at the longest), and some Tigers Blood (Keeping the SWAG up).

Carrier Unlock can be done for free, on a stock rom. A simple terminal command, and BAMN! Unlocked.

Rooting is so simple, ADB and 10 minutes.

Moto devices tend to not have a recovery image. Bootstrap is all you have. Going from an HTC device to Moto is a hard thing to do. When you root/unlock the device, alot of issues arise. Plus the D3 has no devs, only Hascode. You'll have 1, 2 good roms. Atleast here you have some more choice. Motorolla devices suck. I've worked with phones a better part of my life, and know many in the game. I'm best friends with a Motorolla phone tester. He's using the new Quad-Core Moto phone (Spyder 2X), pure Jellybean on it. It sucks ass, slower than slow. Our phone murders it in speed. I've never meet a happy moto owner. In the area i live in, having some best friends whos parents work for Moto is normal. Even there parent, engineers for the phones......say there P.O.S.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] macksgarage:
I'd hate for you to leave the doubleshot scene because you couldn't get the phone rooted. Its a great phone with great devs. Its a touch confusing, this one, because the firmware rev changed the process, and it may not be immediately apparent which of the instructions you need.

These are the steps I took three weeks ago to get a new-in-the-box 1.63 phone from its original condition to cm9. I ended up using hassoon's toolkit but not his gui. But the download contains adb, fastboot, a working recovery, and such dlls as are required. Used htc unlocker procedure, and I'm still s-on and it hasn't been an issue (except that I have to have my laptop to flash new roms.) So you can put the wire down.

Fetch hassoons toolkit. Fetch the HTC sync installer. I presume you've done all this, but I'm putting it down for the sake of completion. Download cm9 alpha6 to your phone's sdcard. Also, open the cm9 zip and copy the included boot.img to your computer. Probably should put it in the directory created by hassoon's, right next to fastboot.

Run the htc sync installer as far as installing the usb drivers. Cancel out before installing sync.

Extract hassoons toolkit somewhere handy.

Go to HTC's site and walk through the unlocker process. Use the binary adb in hassoon to perform the instructions therein.

Now you have hboot 1.63, unlocked, s-on.

Use fastboot in hassoon's kit to flash cwm. Don't forget to clear data and cache. I usually go ahead and wipe system and dalvik cache.

Boot into cwm. Install rom. Power down, then power up to hboot. Switch to fastboot mode.

Flash boot.img using fastboot.

Reboot.

Profit.

My phone is always with me. I'll pay attention to yer thread if you have more questions. Call it my contribution. Ftw.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] macksgarage:
Oh and I have no idea what the actual process is for rooting the stock rom. Use miktouch for that. Stock with all the work done. Its the only way to keep the camera AFAIK. But I live on cm9.

subbing to this thread b/c my sisters MT4G has been giving her problems lately with the screen being unresponsive and randomly not turning on... since yesterday, the screen has been completely unresponsive... it was turning on fine, but touching the screen did nothing... the screen would shut off when you slide the keyboard open and sometimes would come back on when u close it and sometimes, just stay off... now it's off and the screen won't come on anymore lol... not sure what's up with it...

and i agree that this device is complicated as heck... i have NS4G and i googled root & recovery, found an xda thread and within 10mins i was rooted and was flashing a custom ROM... i don't expect all phones to be as easy as this phone since it's a "developer phone" but this is just annoying for someone that just wants to get a custom ROM installed... i still don't know what S-ON/OFF means lol... i don't have these ?'s to answer with my device...

what is the recommendation for her? she is off contract using it on Simple Mobile right now... so no warranty/insurance... she's wants to get another phone but we just moved and paying +$500 for a phone isn't the best idea right now... i'm open to suggestions... sorry to semi-thread jack... i'm just lost with this device!! thanks for any HELP you guys can offer!!
