Messing around for weeks already :S

Hey, I am a new member and I have been messing around and looking around for a couple of weeks already with the same problem. I found this post because it is pretty much the same problem that I am experiencing.

So I tried to follow all the instructions here, but nothing. My phone is in a bootloop, I can get into the bootscreen, but even if I select recovery, it gets into a bootloop again, just the HTC whitescreen and then restarts again.

Before I flashed Revolution HD on the phone and it worked really good for a couple of days, then I chose the camera and it froze. I restarted the phone and then it started, the bootloop and at some point it started working again, but just for a day and it froze again and after that I went to the bootloader and this showed up...

I had 4ext recovery and I tried to install it again, but nothing. I also tried to flash CWM recovery on it, but still the same. I tried to flash everything, but still nothing. I have tried pretty much everything I have found and starting to feel pretty much desperate about the matter. I also attached an image about my bootscreen and I hope that at least somebody could help me.

Thank you for bearing through the long text...

Flash 3.32/3.33 firmware and then try to boot up
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
I tried flashing this rmk-pyramid-stock_ics_3.32.401.3-v1 on the phone, but then it showed that I am on 1.27 and this is where I am now... Did I do something wrong maybe?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
No not that

Go to Sensation development section - kohr ah's firmware thread - 3.33 universal firmware

Flashing instructions in the same guide too
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Okay, I followed the post, but when I update the firmware, everything is OK except for [8] RADIO_V2 - Fail-UZ

I know that I should look around for a fix on this one as well, but always when I start looking around I get to new threads and finish nowhere sadly, so if anybody knew a fix for that, then I'd appreciate it :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did the radio update failed?

Can you try again and tell me

If it indeed failed then it's hardware error :(
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Yea, I tried again and the same... in the end it says Image unzipping fail! Update Fail!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did you verified the md5sum of the firmware zip file?
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
No I didn't, I just downloaded it from the link that was in Kohr-Ah's post and tried to install it, and if to be honest, then I don't get how to use the md5sum.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Md5sum is to check whether the downloaded zip file is not corrupted.

Try to extract the zip you've downloaded.. If it extracts fine then mostly it won't be corrupted
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Just unzipped it with no problems, maybe I should try an older version of the firmware as well? It has updated everything except the radio_v2, it also says firmware 3.33 on top and hboot 1.27.1100
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes try 3.32 firmware and see
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Okay, 3.32 installed successfully, but I still cannot get into recovery even after I reflashed 4ext...
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
How did you installed 4ext recovery?

Also try this

fastboot boot recovery.img
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
I installed it through windows fastboot flash recovery... When I try to boot recovery.img, then it is still the same, it goes to the htc whitescreen and gets into a bootloop...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
in post 2 step 1 you will see how to flash 4ext recovery

use the third option

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Followed the steps and updated successfully, but still after rebooting or selecting recovery, the same old bootloop... :(
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Is there anything else that I should try, maybe try to restore the original settings and everything and start again from scratch, could that help?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i think your last option is ruu.exe
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Gonna try it...
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Okay,

Tried running ruu.exe, it completed successfully, but still no changes, still the same old bootloop... any other ideas or am I doing something wrong maybe...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i am out of ideas now:(

did you consider that maybe it is a hardware failure?
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
One thing that happened was that it stayed in the car charging under direct sunlight and got pretty hot, but it was after it got stuck in the bootloop in the first place. Not sure what to do anymore cause I don't think that phone repairs are so willing to work with it... But I'm gonna look into it, but meanwhile if anybody has some ideas, then you're more than welcome...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
hmm,

did you try to change battery?

just say
[HTC Sensation] tarvo29:
Yea, I replaced the battery cause the old one was dead anyways, but it is booting into the bootloader still... I'm going to bring it to a phone repair company tomorrow and see what they say...

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
It's because your bootloader is unlocked.. You need to relock it.. Command is "fastest oem lock"

Also you need to be soft if you want to update the firmware.. For that use revolutionary.. Site url is revolutionary.io
[HTC Sensation] mo2002:
I'm assuming you meant "fastboot oem lock" and "also you need to be root if you want to update the firmware" correct?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes fastboot... Also you need to be soff to upgrade the firmware.. Root is not required
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Hi, guys my senny is s-off with bootloader locked. Does this mean that i cannot update my radio? At the moment the radio file is 11.23 and there is a 11.24A file available but while flashing pg58img.zip file i keep getting error which is showed in the image on the first page.
[HTC Sensation] mo2002:
Would you happen to have the juop tool for windows?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
It's just not getting detected.. You can manually flash it if you are comfortable with fastboot and adb ..

.. Copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the adb/fastboot folder

Boot the phone to bootloader and.. Connect it to pc/laptop

Then open command prompt there and try these commands

fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with green HTC)

Then flash it using this command

fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip

Then once it's done

Do this

fastboot reboot

Done

You don't need juopunutbear for a off.. Revolutionary soft will perfectly work and revolutionary is soo simple.. No need to do wire trick and all

Check revolutionary.io site and pyramid is the device name
[HTC Sensation] mo2002:
Only reason I asked is because after relocking the bootloader I was saw I was on 1.27 when I was using revolutionary. -_-
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ohh will pm you the windows version then
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Ok. Here is what i did. Dowloaded the pg58img zip file from sensation q n a section about radio and ril. Kept it in sd card and then tried flashing using fastboot. It detected it but with incorrect cid error. What does that mean?
[HTC Sensation] robplll:
help

do i flash the pg58img.zip while on the black screen with silver htc...if so how long should it take to flash. Thank you, Robplll
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Once the command on terminal gets over it is done ..the progress bar on the phone never completes in this case
[HTC Sensation] robplll:
Should the phone start after that? I'm stuck in boot loop.

Thank you, Robplll
[HTC Sensation] dewuzz:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
A friend was trying to transfer contacts or some nonsense from her incredible 2 to her old incredible and got a boot-loop.

The phone was totally stock.

Now I can get into the bootloader but no matter what i do from there: Bootloop.

can't get into safemode either.

I have only ever softbricked my One X

after

I had rooted and installed a custom recovery, so i am not sure what to do here.

Should i just RUU? If so can someone provide me with a link to a TUT or a DL. I don't even know what Version of the Stock ROM she had or anything.

(In case you can't tell i know virtually nothing about the incredible)

Cheers
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Have you tried a factory reset from hboot? If so or if it dosent work try an ruu http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.06.605.3/PB31IMG.zip.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
thnx

Factory reset does nothing. I will try an RUU. Is this one completely stock?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
also...

NOOB question-->

The only time i have ever RUUed (ha) it was an executable... this is a .zip

do i just uncompress it to find the .exe ???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
place the .zip on the root of the SD card and make sure it is named "PB31IMG.zip" and the SD is formatted to FAT32 then boot into hboot and go to bootloader and it will scan for the file and when it finds it it will ask you if you want to flash it, you just need to click the vol. up button to update and then it will flash it and then you will need to click vol. up to reboot I believe. if the RUU was successful it should boot into stock HTC android without problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
thanks but...

but... i can only get into the bootloader... i tried putting the .zip on the external SD card and HBOOT couldn't find it.

is there a way to put the .zip on the internal???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
As far as I know there is no way to flash things using the internal memory. I could be wrong but this is what I suggest for you:

If hboot couldn't find it then you need to do two things:

1. Make sure your file is called PB31IMG.zip not PB31IMG.zip.zip

2. Format SD to FAT32 File System Format

a. Make a backup of files on SD

b. Format to FAT32 using windows explorer

c. return files to SD card

Also an important note is to check the MD5 sum of the file. The MD5 for the file you downloaded is:

25EC451E08CD98C9495971BCB37E6582

This is important because flashing bad files through hboot can permanently brick the phone.

If you have mini-adbinc on your computer you just need to navigate to the directory of mini-adbinc in Command Prompt and then use the command:

md5sums C:/Folder/Folder/Folder/PB31IMG.zip

(where Folder/Folder/Folder is the series of folders to the location of PB31IMG.zip)

If you don't have these resources on your computer then there are several MD5 checkers online that can do the work for you and have more of a graphical UI instead of command prompt.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
There is a way to put it on the internal drive, but hboot wont look for it there. Did you try backing up the sd to a pc, then format the card fat32, then put the ruu file on the sdcard in no folders. Make sure its named EXACTLY caps and all PB31IMG.zip, it shouldnt need to be renamed though. Boot to hboot, it should find it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
update fail!

so i formated to fat 32.

It recognized the image tired to flash but ultimately said...

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
Try this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/?1ovb6959r9qyg6w

I am not actually sure that it is different than the one cmlusco gave you but it worked for someone else when I helped them so it can't hurt to try!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashayden:
.zip??

Thanks, do i need to extract the files and put each of the .img files on there individually? Or, what do I do with the .zip?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eljean:
Remember to extract the pb1img. It's inside the zip folder that was really confusing for me a couple years back

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] t1231:
I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badseed767:
I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.

I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.

Currently not being productive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badseed767:
There are 2 places to look...

First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.

Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:

My Calendar = checked

My Tasks = checked

badseed767@gmail.com with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)

gregrein@gmail.com with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), badseed767@gmail.com (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)

Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.

I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.

The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.

Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Currently not being productive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpike:
Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.

As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.

If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.

EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.

Currently not being productive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!

How stable is 1.12.9?

-Are there issues with sending/reciving calls?

-Are there issues with sending/reviving texts?

-Will it get slow and buggy a week after use?

-Are there camera issues?

-Are there FC issues?

And let me know if there are any other major issues
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
Overall, it was a very stable ROM while I used it. There were a few issues that I noticed but there was never anything that stopped it from being a daily driver.

There was a problem with 1.12.30 I think that caused the phone app to crash while receiving calls, but I don't believe that was present in 1.12.9.

I sent and received texts perfectly fine.

I used it for a long time before I moved on to any ICS ROMs because it was a great setup.

As well as I can remember, the camera worked as it should.

Like I said, I believe 1.12.9 was fine but 1.12.30 introduced some issues. Someone who's used the ROM more recently than me might have some other points but I loved MIUI GB, and finally moved onto MIUI ICS when the camera and other bugs were patched up.

You will want to flash aeros v7 kernel with it too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joefrog1996:
Oh, why?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
Multi-touch issues and low in call volume. I'm actually running it now. When you first use the camera you need to go to camera settings and change the camera resolution. For both cameras, the images will show up with green junk if you don't. When viewing flash videos in the browser you will only get audio. This is fixed by going through some steps in system/data/app... and deleting something but I don't recall what it was. Its mentioned somewhere in the MIUI thread if you feel like searching.

I can't think of anything else.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:

fixing flash is a little harder, but i can walk you through it. You will need root explorer or es explorer as root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your device was not factory SIM-unlocked. The vendor probably unlocked it using a code. That said, you should call Expansys and ask them for the code.

Otherwise, you can take a look at the following two threads. The first one is easy, but temporary -- in other words, you will need to do unlock every time you flash a new ROM. The second is permanent, but not as straight-forward to accomplish.

Further queries now arise ....

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

Wow! You guys are fast!

Much appreciated.

Now I have a query. The option 1 which you have stated, is the one which I have looked at.

Even that requires me to root my phone.

Isn't it so?

Cause the OP in that thread specifically mentions the need to root the phone.

I have asked Expansys USA for that code, and since Saturday/Sunday is off for them, I am hoping to get a reply from them on Monday.

Like I said, my main concern is that I would like this process to be hassle free.

You guys (no-offence intended for the male demographic) are quite capable of rooting the phone.

Unfortunately, I wish not to choose that route, unless no options are left available at my disposal.

Which is why I am bending towards the easy unlocking method.

So my next question really is since its (read: the phone) not a factory SIM-unlockedissue, can I find the original network provider to which this phone was locked to?

As in, is there any where on this device which can tell me that information?

Once again, I sincerely thank you for your support and assistance in my life a lot easier! :victory:

Regards,

Reena J
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, you are right it does require root. (I didn't realize that it was the link you had looked at and mentioned in your post.)

Probably best to wait until Monday then, as that would certainly be the most hassle-free option.

Believe it or not, "rooting" a Nexus device is extremely easy, and should not take more than 5 minutes. The part the takes the most time is to make sure the drivers are set up properly on your PC... Once that is done, no more than a few minutes is all it takes.

Yes, there is a way, although I believe you need root, although I could be wrong here. You need to post this file from your device: /factory/mps_code.dat and someone will be able to tell you. Or you can look in that file and compare the code in there to this list.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

And yeah, you should be able to get it unlocked by one of those site, even the one you mentioned. But I can't vouch for it, nor can I recommend any site, as I have never used any.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thymine:
Hey djjohnson

I've got the exact same problem, but bought my phone from a different seller.

Did you manage to get any information (or PIN) from expansys??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
It looks like OP disappeared after getting his issue solved. Expansys has great customer service and would have exchanged the phone with no problems. Which retailer did you get it from? There are unlocking sites out there but you have to know which network its locked to. Or root it and try the methods listed in this thread. GL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thymine:
Cheers mate,

I bought mine from an ebay seller and have already sent them a message asking for either the PIN or the name of the original service provider.

If that falls through, I'll have no other option but to root....or just be the first of my friends to not have a phone number and live exclusively on the internet...

I'll probably root.
