I have a Sensation I need to get back to stock. I ran an RUU and everything seems fine, but when I perform the steps in fastboot to change my CID back to HTC__001 it refuses to stick. It always comes back with 11111111.

Here's the log:

Sorry if this has been answered before. I searched but all I found was questions about achieving Super CID.

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Run the RUU again.. Then try the cid change.

And use fastboot reboot-bootloader

After cid change to verify it.. Instead of fastboot reboot

I've also tried using a different RUU but get the same result.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Hmm, just tried it myself, I'm on HBOOT 1.27.1100 if that make a difference and it seemed to work fine.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
cid will be stored at 3 partitions afaik ..and somehow one partition is not letting it changed ...

the error " ... INFOStart Verify: -1" kind of says that

there is some high level solution (dd and dumping images ) ..let me check on that first and then Ill let you know ..the method
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
hey

i need some info

first you need to root your device (you can reflash the RUU after cid change ..that will remove the root)

to root your device ..try my one click root tool (soff guide link in my signature) ...

then i want the output of these commands

from adb folder

adb shell

su (make sure the prompt is # not $)

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (paste the output of this command)

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 (paste the output of this command too)

then based on this output i will give you further instructions
[HTC Sensation] Bizwax:
Just to confirm, you want me to follow the rooting procedure from scratch even though I'm already rooted and currently running Elegancia?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
No no not required if you are already rooted.. Just give me that information from Elegance itself
[HTC Sensation] Subin khan:
I have the same problem. That is not able to downgrade from Super CID. I have tried to run the command as per your suggestion and found “HTC__044” for both commands. But when I type “fastboot getvar cid” it is showing my CID is 11111111. Pls suggest on this.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Then mostly it got changed but it's not being reflected from bootloader correctly

Post the output of this command

fastboot oem readcid

Also try an older RUU like that of GB one and then check the cid again..
[HTC Sensation] Subin khan:
Actually, this problem is starting after I have applied below command by a mistake:

fastboot oem writePid HTC__044

that is instead of CID I typed pid

and I think some info are overwritten.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

BTW, fastboot oem readcid command showing below:

D:\My Mobile\Android\Tools\ADB_Fastboot_Windows>fastboot oem readcid

... INFOfake cid: 11111111

INFOcid: 11111111

OKAY [ 0.000s]

finished. total time: 0.000s
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
One more partition where cid is stored is missing then.. I'll dig into that.. Might take some time.. May be in few hours I can come to conclusion
[HTC Sensation] Subin khan:
Ok then pls help me to restore my missing partition's CID..
[HTC Sensation] Bizwax:
I don't get any output from those commands. I switched from Elegancia to Insertcoin to double check and still the same.

C:\adb>adb shell
InsertCoin@/# su
su
InsertCoin@/# strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
InsertCoin@/# strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
InsertCoin@/#

I'll try reflashing the RUU first instead.
[HTC Sensation] Subin khan:
Pls use GB base ROM and unlocked bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] Subin khan:
any help regarding this issue?
[HTC Sensation] Bizwax:
Likewise
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i PM'd one dev for some help ..no reply from him yet ..will try talking to him again today (fingers crossed)
[HTC Sensation] Bizwax:
Well it looks like this one is going nowhere fast. ganeshp, I believe we have you stumped, my good man :)

So anyways, I've been playing around in the meantime and I got those adb shell commands working. I flashed the RUU, then flashed 4extRecovery via PG58IMG, then installed superuser using 4ext...and now I can actually get outputs for the commands you mentioned earlier:

Here's the bad news, I get strings: not found for both of them. Not much of an improvement, eh? :(

C:\Android>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
su
shell@android:/ # strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
sh: strings: not found
127|shell@android:/ # strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
sh: strings: not found
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Did the RUU install OK ? Did you also install Superuser/SuperSU ?

If so install a Terminal Emulator from Play Store (the one I use is from Jack Palevich). Then install BusyBox. Then try directly on the phone in the Terminal Emulator.

When that works try the ADB method again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bardouns:
Ok so was running Juggs 5.0

Full Clean wipe ect...

Flashed AOKP (followed the steps correctly)

Didn't like ics so clean wipe (darkside) ect...

Restored nandroid... Phone kept rebooting

Full wipe again

Install juggs fresh install. TB restore data only. Install all apps.

Everything seems fine until...

Battery acting really weird.

Sometimes while plugged in the battery drains, killed all apps, killed data.

pulled battery, charged to 100%, battery reset... Battery calibrate...

Again for about 2 days every thing fine. And then again same thing...

WTF... please help.

also Swype won't stay active after a reboot, have to reselect it and activate it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Sounds like a bad battery. I've flashed plenty, including juggs and AOKP and never experienced something like that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Hi everybody .. need some explanation about OTA update for rooted SGS2 now I heard 4.0.4 is beeing available for Russian and English users ..

1) first OTA update is what we do when we make a sotftware update in "about the phone" menu ?? However "manual update" stands for update via kies am I wright?

2) I know that updating a stock ''rooted'' firware is not possible via kies .. Is it possible via OTA ??

3) For rooted AND modem modified stock ICS is OTA update possible?

(( Im on LPG stock with syiah 3.4 kernel and XXKI4 modem (has better network reception than XXLPX original modem in my region)))

PS: I have looked all the afternoon for this in other forums and looked for "OTA , rooted" in XDA before i post :p so hope nobody tells me i'm a lazy stupid

THANKS for helping guys :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
forgot this...

4) Does anybody know wich nordic firmware is beeing updated to 4.0.4 ?? LPG or LPD or other one?

More than 100 views and no reply ,though it is a yes or no question ! So I guess not too many people have the answer :D i'm not the only noob here :cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Hiii ! looks like nobody knows the answer !!! I posted in several other forums but it looked like i was talking japaneese :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
If you're trying to update to ics, go to www.sammobile.com, download the firmware you want and flash through odin. i've heard a lot of people having trouble with OTA updates recently
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
Thanks man ,, yes I have seen some aborted OTA updates for no reason in some forums too .. I thought that came from root or modified modem or something like that and I posted here to get sure .

On the other hand flashing the leaked ROMs may lead to hard brick cause i ve got the EMMC bug :p

So I think Im going to wait for other 4.0.4 without brick risk !! Or why not a JB update (for god sake samsung or this will be my last corean device ever :crying:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Have you thought about rooting your device and trying JB now? RootBox has a really good version of it, and its relatively stable :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3ayachi:
I'm root already ,, I was waiting for stable versions now you told me this I will test it .. And i mean only test cause I never found as usefull as touchwizz interface in stock ! I have hundred apps and need folders to get them sorted otherwise I will get lost ! SGS3 Touchwizz proposed on most recent roms has a little lag in unlimited scroll ! Other launchers don't give a good alternative :crying: I don't know why all people hate TW so much ! this haterness looks like a contagious disease ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
I recently installed two apps from the App Store both by Disney. I noticed on the Settings/Battery screen that both apps are using 21% battery when playing and 10% when not playing. When I tried to Force Stop I noticed that both kept using about 10% percent battery power. I thought that the Force Stop actually stopped the app from using the phones resources. I even tried using Advanced Task Killer which also failed to completely stop the app from consuming the system resources. The only sure why to stop them was to uninstall them, which sucks because they were fun games to play.

My question is what's the point of Force Stop if it doesn't actually stop the app and how do you stop an app from running without uninstalling?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdxtechdoctor:
The force stop is just like an end task in Windows.. it just kills the current task.. it does not mean stop it forever. If the app is called again it will start up again...

Now there are apps that are automatically called if the are stooped, mainly service type tasks, but there are some bad / misbehaving apps out there for sure.

This type of behavior is why taskkillers can actually cost you more battery usage, because the app is always having to start-up again and why with the current revision of Android - Gingerbread on up it is not recommend to use them.. the kernel is best at managing resources.

The main question is why is the Disney app running all them time? I'd bet it has some suspicious permission and is phoning home quite often... I wouldn't run it at all with that kind of behavior..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
After you force stop those apps, are you resetting the battery list by charging to full again? Cause those percentages will still appear in the usage list even after you stopped them because that data was already collected. You'd have to start the tracking over at that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
Thanks for the reply, how do I start the tracking over? I have the phone at 100% charge and it's still there but instead of taking 10% now it shows 2%. I tried several times to restart the count and every time the game app comes back showing that it's using battery.

I've attached three screen shots so you can see what I'm talking about. The three screens shots are of Disneys app Temple Run: Brave. The first is just after I closed the game app, the second is after I Force Stopped the game app and the third is after charging my phone 100%, disconnecting the charger and resetting the battery status. The app starts up again and uses about 2% which I can't stop it unless I uninstall the app. It does go away if I reboot the phone itself but who wants to restart there phone just to close an app?

I also have installed another Disney game app Where's my Perry and is similar except when I restart the battery app it doesn't start up again until I play the game app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Hmmm well you're pretty much doing exactly what I suggested. I don't know what that app could be doing. I'd need to see a system panel screen shot of maybe an hour or 2 collection of data monitoring to get a better idea. It must be running a service. If you go to settings, apps, running apps, does it appear there? And even after you force stop it? That list only shows running services, not activities. Does it show up there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
I'm not sure what's going on with the app. I've attached two more screen shots. To answer you questions No it doesn't appear to be running on the Running apps page and yes it was showing that it was Force Stopped.

Is there a way that I can collect data to see what the app is doing? Does my phone have to be rooted, bootloader unlocked, etc?

Oh by the way you've been Thanked. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] el540011:
Ok guys, so here's the problem. my HOX (rogers) is bricked because of what i assume is a bad rom install. I am a noob, I just wanted jellybean and did some things, bricked my phone and here i am. anyone (first person) who is able to un-brick this thing will get $50 in their paypal account WITHIN THE SAME MINUTE - i swear by it. please, i just want my phone back.

So, the steps I took were:

1. downloaded a rom and jb package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790032

2. transferred the roms onto my computer (am overseas atm, at a coffee shop writing this)

3. did a twrp recovery, transferred the recovery files onto my comp

4. did the factory reset option (wiped data, SD and cache via twrp)

5. rebooted, did transfer of above mentioned files (the rom, jb apps package and recovery of data and system)

6. booted into twrp, flashed the rom and jb apps package (should have rebooted first and then twrp-ed i know)

7. booted; IT WASNT WORKING (i know it was alpha, but i mean constant "phone stopped working" and "messages stopped working?" no one else had that problem...)

8. SO... i said to hell with jellybean and rebooted into twrp, installed the system recovery package i had on twrp (probably where i went wrong...)

9. BIG PROBLEM. the phone won't boot. It's stuck on the HTC logo with just the message "this build is for developer purposes" &c.

10. I go into TWRP and the SD card won't even mount.

I'm on TWRP v2.1.7 atm... and i mean, it really is bricked. I can load into bootloader, and when I plug it into the comp it says fastboot usb instead of fastboot so i know it recognizes being plugged in (maybe it's just recognizing the charge influx?) but when i DO plug it in, it wont show up on my computer as anything. before on jellybean i would try to mount to disk drive and the computer would say something along the lines of driver installation failed or something...

and last resort - would... rogers honor the one-year warranty i have on this? I lost the receipt (stupid i know) but i have the warranty information provided in the box back at home. Rogers still has my customer information and I have many forms of ID to verify that it IS me... and it would be financially beneficial to them to honor the warranty, as if they don't, I'll just cancel my contract and move to another carrier out of spite. The guy that works there probably still does, and should remember me (we had an extended conversation about something i don't quite remember)... what's your two cents on that? Rogers is notorious for being crappy with customer service but eh... worth a shot right?

Anyways... I'd really appreciate it if anyone can give me any information on salvaging this bricked phone. i mean, I said 50 bucks but im willing to negotiate.

Thanks, and I'll be waiting for a speedy reply
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
The easiest solution would be to download a Rogers RUU from the Evita Shipped Rom thread boot into bootloader then fastboot connect phone then type fastboot devices to make sure it comes up then fastboot oem lock then run the RUU.

Sure you'll have to root and unlock again but you'll get your phone back.

since u r a rogers user u probably a canadian...add me on gtalk..

i will try to help u...goodplayer@gmail.com

but first.just.to make sure urs is rogers htc one x right not.the international.one.right？
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
I once saw sd not mounting. Only fix was to force a shutdown. Hold the power button for 5-10 seconds, you should see the bottom touch buttons flash just prior to it fully turning off.

Push and hold down vol prior to releasing power button and hold while the phone boots.

Hope it boots to recovery again but with sd card access. If not rinse and repeat a few times until it does work.

Personally from fastboot I wouldnt switch to recovery, but instead I would install a ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptesmoke:
I would try reflashing recovery from fast boot first...and see if you can get back in.

If not fast boot OEM lock and ruu as stated. Certainly not bricked if u have fast boot.

Also if Canadian you can add me on gtalk as well. Ptesmoke@gmail.com. , niceppl you can add me too u lucky soff canuck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GeneticSponge:
Fix

First to Relock your device, you will want to boot into your bootloader and select fastboot. After you've selected fastboot plug your device into your pc and open a command prompt. You'll want to type 'cd C:\Android' and then 'fastboot oem lock' and your phone will restart with a locked bootloader. Now you can upgrade to the RUU without any issues.

Now find your ruu here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Once you've finished upgrading your ruu you will want to boot into your bootloader again, with your device unplugged, and select fastboot. THEN plug your device in and run your command prompt again on your PC. Again, cd to C:\Android and type in the following command to unlock your bootloader again: 'fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin' (I've heard reports of some people having to type this command two or three times for it to work but it went the first time for me)

Hope this helps ^____^

Is there a way to get the TWC TV app to work with root? I downloaded the app from play store only to fund out I had to have ICS for the live tv to work. So I rooted and s off'd got some ics goodness and re downloaded the app. Then I see not supported for root users..... I rooted for this app and now I can't use it. Any help?

Also if this isn't in the right place I'm sorry.

try the temp unroot feature in superuser/supersu
[HTC EVO 3D] TheCord:
I want to go away from root for now and use the finally released ICS ota, well after i tried to install it it failed ( i am assuming cause its rooted) my question is if i just rename the new OTA from sprintblahblahblah.zip to PG86IMG.zip will this work install the update and break root?
[HTC EVO 3D] Datguy_n_Disguy:
Okay, before you do anything, its PG86IMG.zip, not PG76IMG.zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheCord:
I just noticed that I will edit the op
[HTC EVO 3D] dastin1015:
No it won't work that way. The OTA is a ROM with patches. It patches over your the previous OTA and installs new files. The ways to take the OTA would be to RUU or PG86IMG back to the most recent OTA prior to ICS and then accept the OTA. The OTA requires a stock system and stock recovery to install. The OTA will overwrite your HBOOT, but the wire trick does work on the newest HBOOT. I suggest installing a stock rooted ICS OTA. I posted a link in the Android Revolution ROM thread.

[HTC EVO 3D] Arceo85:
I don't get it are you saying that it will work if you use a stock Rom then download the files and rename it will work or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Your best bet is to wait for the new RUU to be released and just flash that, OTA files are Update zips and differ from Firmware zips (PG86IMG.zip)

Updates = recovery

Firmware = bootloader

I tried unrooting and going accepting the new update, after that failed i said the heck with it and did the wire trick. ICS roms are working perfectly this is all i really wanted. Thank you all for any and all advice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guih:
Hey guys, lately my wi-fi connection has been very slippery, as if it drops and then reconnects often, although it remains physically connected to my router. I don't know if it could be my router since every other device in my home is connecting to it fine. My phone is able to connect well to networks outside of my home, though, so I am unsure. Do you guys think it's the routers fault or maybe a kernel issue of some sort (I'm running stock kernel)? I've been having this issue on Tranquility and Viper ROM (maybe also on Mean) so it can't be A ROM issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
