THANK YOU!

Thanks so much dibb_nz... I've currently got PBJ20upgrade doing *something* (says it's going to take 10 minutes)

Thing is, I didn't get to this point by any conventional means - I followed the destructions several times over but ended up having a newer image than PBJ wanted, or the wrong CPUID.

I finally got this far by unplugging the tablet while PBJ was running, waiting for it's long error and instructions on how to get into APX (which I've clearly done at least a couple dozen times by now) and for some reason when I plugged it in, it shot forward.

We'll see how this goes - I'll keep you posted. I do VERY MUCH appreciate the help. I just might still need it, but hopefully not.

EDIT: Just rebooted and saw a "PASS" on the screen, followed by the "android" loading screen.

EDIT 2: It rebooted all the way in, I signed in (did the entire sign in process) and I'm BACK TO STOCK!!!! :D

Ok, so thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the help - just being a sounding board is all I need sometimes.

Last questions to get me set up for the future:

What recovery should I create a restore with?

Then after creating a restore, should I use Blackthund3r's utility to flash an unlocked ICS bootloader, and if so, which package should I use to be able to test JB but still be able to go backwards to an ICS (preferably CM9)?

Anything else that I might need to know? (keep in mind that I've read on the order of 30 different threads pertaining to this adventure since it began a couple days ago, but I really appreciate the advice you've given and clearly you know what's up with the A500 - AND, it's hard to disseminate info from all the random threads everywhere. Speaking of which, why is it that there can't be a single thread with most everything that an A500 owner would need? Seriously!!)

Thanks again,

Psychlone

With what I went thru use Civs nvflash and rom and I'd stick with third cement until your safely patched and on ics.do all the wipes and follow instructions to the letter ...I'll check back in shortly

EDIT wtf "third cement" dang auto correct ... should read thors recovery:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
Wow - what a journey.

I'm now running CM10 and loving it.

I really can't believe the process that I went through over the last couple days - I've rooted and modded two dozen devices in the last year alone, and have been playing with root and modded ROMs since the very beginning, and nothing comes close to what I just did.

I actually have to blame not having everything I need in one place. Mis en place means to have everything you need before you even start - and that used to work back in the day, and still does to an extent for some devices, but anymore, the download links and information are found scattered across many different websites and forums and threads - so much so that it's apparent that this is a product of Google's lack of grip on their hardware and OS.

I do, however, see that you and a couple others have done a KILLER job of getting most everything together in one place to make it easier for those that are searching. I really appreciated your threads that I've read - the way you've written your guides is very intuitive and easy to follow, even if they didn't initially work for me.

Anyway, thanks again. I'm not going backwards now, but if I ever need to for some reason, at least I'm a bit familiar with the "worst-case scenario"!! ;)

Take care man,

excellent news glad it worked for ya:)

if its referring to newer image then the data cable is connected!

and it will spit this error at you....

yup now you're cookin:)

nps glad to be of assistance -

becoz then you'd have thousands of posts to look thru and no-one would bother reading it all....i try to keep my cpuid thread updated with things 'unbricking' but its too hard to put 'everything' in one post unfortunately

hell, i havent got round to cm10 yet!! i'm trying to get there but i have too much fun helpin peeps get to grips with flashing BL's...have to really thank the devs they did an awesome job unlocking ICS so everyone can enjoy the custom ICS/JB/CM roms- they've extended the life of our little iconia an extra half year or so if not longer.....imagine if we had to put up with stock 'anything' lol, i'd have traded it in long ago!!

was about to suggest the apxflash bundles as there are alot more options as far as recovery's go but you're all sussed now so thats fantastic....

can u add "SOLVED" to the title in case someone else is looking for help. thanks m8:good:
[Acer Iconia A500] Psychlone:
CM10 is SLICK. Think CM9 on graphics steroids and you're close! ;)

I appreciate your position more than most. I get a lot of enjoyment out of helping others as well - I've written overclocking guides for AMD systems that was written years ago, revised a couple/three years ago and is still used to this day, even though I've long since moved over to Intel's "dark side". I also participate pretty deeply in helping others at a couple PC hardware forums pretty much daily, even though that's my actual job - I own 2 computer repair businesses in my hometown, and with well over 20,000 computers to fix, I'm ALWAYS busy but still always find time to help others in need.

As for adding ***SOLVED*** to the title, I'd love to...but it won't let me. Perhaps it's because I don't have a high enough post count, or because it's reserved for Mods, but I can't do it.

Thanks for everything once again - it's quite refreshing to be on the receiving end! :D

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
Ok I finally decided to make the jump to AOKP ICS M6 but ran into (I hope) a small issue. I've been following droidstyle's guide to the letter, and basically when I got to the step to install Team Hacksung build 2 it kept giving me errors about not mounting the sd card... well finally it did it anyway, and right now my phone is running with build 2 on it. Problem is, now on the next step when I reboot into recovery and go to install from sd card (after wiping data) it just keeps saying could not mount sd card. So... does this mean I have a junky sd card and need to buy a better one? Since I've had the phone I've transferred tons of stuff to and from the card with absolutely no problems whatsoever, so this is kind of confusing me.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
Ok... well a little update now. I just kept rebooting into recovery and eventually it worked and I was able to install AOKP M6, Gapps, and the Devil kernel. I guess I'm okay for now, but does that mean that my sdcard is dying and I should consider getting a new one anyway, or is this just some random error that is more of an annoyance than a warning?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry253:
Yes - backup your microSD card ASAP and get a new one.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
agreed!

posted at the bottom of Section 4:

If your getting "E cant mount sd card" or "sd card damaged" errors then I suggest replacing your sd card with a class 6 or higher
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
Yes I did read that part droidstyle, however I haven't had ANY problems with my sdcard card until this point (go figure, right?). I have used it almost every day to play music, take pictures, etc, and not once have I had any read errors. If I had any suspicion beforehand about it failing I would have never attempted to install anything. Anyway, do you guys have any suggestions for brands, or will any well known brand do? I was thinking something like this. I'm a bit too broke right now to actually go out and buy a new sd card though, so I'm happy I was at least was able to get to AOKP M6 on my phone finally. I will definitely have to get one before I plan try any more roms, but I think playing around with M6 will keep me busy for quite some time.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
go with atleast a class 6.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crawshayi:
I don't mean to sound thick, but what's the difference with the classes?

edit: Okay sorry for that question, I figured it out pretty quick. It has to do with the speed I guess, so I found this one which is the same thing, except class 6. Thanks

[HTC Sensation] millzyy:
Hi Guys,

You have heard it a million times before, I'm a newb..

Have been reading around the place for suitable ROMs for my Sensation XE but am finding it hard.

My end goal (not sure if it's possible) is to upgrade to sense 4.0 and have Sensation ONE x usability, mainly CAR.apk is what I'm interested in.

I want a decent car nav app to initiate when I dock my phone in the car. I use Car Home Ultra at the moment but have seen videos of the ONE x stock version car app. Looks amazing..

I managed to S-OFF and root yesterday using '[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO VOID WARRANTY| ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)--NEW: ONE CLICK ROOT'

Anyways, I came across the following links and was wondering if it would definitely work with my Sensation XE. Ordroid 9.0.0

freebraintrauma.com/7/post/2012/06/what-is-the-best-rom-for-htc-sensation-xe.html

freebraintrauma.com/7/post/2012/06/how-to-root-htc-sensation-xe-and-how-to-s-off.html

I have only completed the S-OFF (used controlbear) so far and the One click root tool from the Juopunutbear guide above.

Is it safe to use the 2 links I have posted? Are there any other steps I need to think about? Will Ordroid 9.0.0 really give me the full HTC ONE experience and work well with the Sensation XE?

Thanks in advance!

[HTC One X] requiem11:
HTC One X Quadcore, Virgin Mobile Australia, CID HTC_023, bootloader unlocked, SDK and Sync manager up to date.

I followed root instructions per Ausdroid which summarizes MoDaCo method using "r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot" except it doesn't tell you when to backup your existing ROM. So no backup of the stock ROM (believe I feel dumb enough about it).

After reading up a bit more, installed Clockworkmod-5.8.4.0 and backed up the working ROM (presumably r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot).

Since video was not working and caused forced reboots, I flashed the boot img that was in the r3-endeavor-insecurebootandroot.zip file. No luck, so I decided to go to MoDaCo website and try one of the ROMs he has there. The Sense and Vanilla ROMs there resulted in being stuck in the HTC brilliant screen (left it there plugged in overnight since Paul mentions that one should be patient on first boot).

Ok, so tried various other ROMs, no luck. Always erased cache before and after and tried various combinations of wiping data, factory resets, both in phone and in Clockwork etc., no luck. Tried the OneX All in One Kit v1.0 to reflash the Kernel to stock 2.6.39.4 (not even sure that's the one I should be using), no luck. Ok, so I'm guessing it's time to use the RUU. Found a cool method to bypass Filefactory premium and managed to download my RUU: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.29.728.12_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed. Presumably the correct one since I used fastboot to give me the 1.29.728.12 as well as the CID info HTC_023.

Following XDA instructions on RUU recovery, I relocked the bootloader, confirmed the version and tried running the RUU.

The RUU tried to run but I get an error

Error Code:	-5001 : 0x80070002

Error Information:

>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)

Suggestions?

forgot to mention using win 7, and already tried a few windows support fixes for 0x80070002 errors.

[HTC One X] GUARDIANBD:
have u tried to install the RUU in fastboot mode?
[HTC One X] requiem11:
Thanks for the reply. It's a good point that is occasionally not mentioned. I've always assumed that the RUU is to be run while in bootloader with fastboot command window open and RUU exe located within the fastboot directory. I used "fastboot devices" to confirm that the pc has recognized the HOX. I also disconnected everything and tried to run the RUU exe file on its own in order to manually flash the exe file contents, but the RUU does not run properly giving me the 0x80070002 windows error message.

three things I have yet to try:

1 install the stock recovery tool (still relying on CMW)

2 run the RUU on another computer (read somewhere that this helped someone's RUU issue when they tried it on an XP)

3 try to download the RUU again

not sure if any of these would help.

By chance, did you mean that the RUU can be somehow executed as a fastboot command? If so I haven't seen anything about it and would appreciate a detailed description of how to do that.

I think you have to flash stock recovery and lock the bootloader to flash ruu. Don't quote me though. Worth a try.

I've tried with the bootloader locked but not with the stock recovery flashed. I'll try it and report back. Any other suggestions are welcome.

Partial success

Downloaded the RUU again and this time it worked (who knows why). The RUU gets cracking and then stops telling me that my battery is less than 30% (it shows 100% in my third-party battery monitor).

So I decided to unpack the ROM.zip file from the %temp% directory as instructed in the wiki, but this time, fastboot flash boot boot.img results in a FAILED Remote something or other.

? Do I have to unlock the bootloader in order to manually flash the boot.img and the system.img files from the RUU?

For anyone who might be in the same position here's what worked for me:

Note, these are not step by step instructions!

RUU windows error -> Redownloaded the RUU file and it worked fine

RUU complains about battery less than 30% -> Connect to a different USB port

ROM.zip boot.img can't flash due to FAILED REMOTE error -> unlock boot loader again and then flash boot.img

ROM.zip boot.img flashed OK but System.img fails says file to large -> re-lock boot loader and start the RUU again
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
I should imagine that the bootloader needs to be unlocked to be able to flash any sort of .img file.

Have you flashed the ruu with stock recovery yet? I suggest you try this if you haven't already, if this fails. Ensure you have the correct matching RUU, then flash stock recovery, lock bootloader and try that.
[HTC One X] nixey55:
Someone correct me if I am wrong but each ROM has a matching boot.img that needs to be flashed before flashing the rom.

Look on YouTube cursed4eva has an easy to follow video about going back to stock ROM
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
Indeed, the boot.img contains the kernel & with s-on devices, boot.img's aren't flashed through recovery so it needs to be done on a computer with fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Also, i forgot to mention. MAKE sure you hold the power and down volume key down to enter the bootloader, then enter 'fastboot' to be able to flash the boot.img in fastboot :), i thik that might be the reason you're getting the failed error.
[HTC One X] requiem11:
Yes, I did enter the bootloader correctly.
[HTC One X] Monsterkater:
You're right as to the point that each ROM has a matching boot.img, but in which order you flash them doesnt matter at all.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Unlock the bootloader again and flash a custom ROM, it's usually the easiest way out. Don't bother using the boot.img root method as custom ROMs are pre rooted almost 99 percent of the time.

Not too bad of a battery/case

After using the D3O hardshell case-P.O.S.- this certainly adds to the weight and extends the life of my SGS II. I had to do a few power cycles before seeing the true benefit of the battery. I could do without the flimsy corners around the screen, wish they would have made those rigid, and takes getting used to finding the power and volume buttons-they should be a little more not visible and stick out some. Also the speakerphone part of it is muffled a bit but when it only cost me 20.00 brand new I'll be looking at modding it if possible. I'd like to paint it white and do a battery swap to a bigger battery in the case. Any advice on that mod would be appreciated. overall though I'd give it a 3/5 because of the cons listed.
