Hello there, I am using an HTC sensation z710e device, UNLOCKED PYRAMID PUT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.27.0000

eMMC-boot

Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34

I unlocked my bootlocker, then flashed CW10, when it was successful, I rebooted my phone, but the phone stuck on htc logo. When I did a recovery the instructions told me to follow on wiping cache, factory reset, so I did and I lost the factory reset. I installed several Roms after but all end up stucking the htc logo. Anyway to have a working ROM on my phone, and better preferred the Htc sensed ICS :confused: ? I'll be thankful :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
There is a guide to flashing ROMs with S-ON around here, why dont you read it? it will explain how to do it and what you did wrong.

You need to manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

because htcdev unlock does not remove the write protection on the boot partition so boot.img files which contain kernel and ramdisk cannot be flashed via recovery
[HTC Sensation] Welsyntoffie:
www.senseomaniac.mobi DOWNLOAD the sense 4 ICS rom from there. It is the easy rom to install without any troubles. Firmware for the rom is also on that site.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thats quite enough from you... your last 3-5 posts have all been advertising Sense-O-Maniac ROM, how about keeping your mouth shut, people will use the ROM they want to use, its their choice

Well la de da well done for spotting my age, not that it has anything to do with you whether I'm 16 or 60 (though because I live in the UK I am actually classed by law as an adult) - fact is I told you off for blatant advertising of others ROMs because your post held absolutly no relevance to the problem in the OP.

About your PM - if you have a problem, report me to the moderators and see what they say.

And I hate to burst your bubble, really I do but age has absolutly no relevance on xda, for example, what have you done for the community? then look at my sig and see what I (a child according to you) has done for the community.

And about advertising ROMs - I have 2 of them and you dont see me going around the Q&A and General forums encouraging people to use them do you? ROMs suit different people and users will find the best one for them.
[HTC Sensation] Welsyntoffie:
But trying one rom to work with no results is time wasted. So i give other noobs like myself an easier why to get new rom. You were also clawling around your house before you started to walk.

Doesnt matter which country you from, we are all still humans. And xda may be a forum community it doesnt count as your community. We add one thing or other to community, but just because you can achieve more does not make you king of the world. Maybe king of your pc if your mother allows it.

I'm using a Mac too, its not easy to find tools for deodexing/odexing, decompiling and recompiling apks, especially systemui haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thcue:
I have just about all OS you can get the mac one here.

http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

That's going to be your main tool just about.

Winrar or 7zip also

Remember if its a text you will need to recompile/builds etc

Pictures you can just open and drop them within the apk. You can open a apk with winrar or 7zip

Also use a fresh apk and not one that has hand its hands on etc.

Hope these little tips help ya guys.

Copy apktool to the root directory. I have a folder like this C:\apktool\ -files in here-

command is:

apktool d systemui.apk

That will create a folder at with you can import replace txt files and what ever.

When your done next command will be

apktool b systemui systemui-new.apk

That will make a new apk rename it and put it back into the right zip
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gandalf:
Giving this a shot, THANKS!

Do they have 7zip for Mac ?? I have never been able to find anything comparable to it, like the ability to edit the contents (add/delete things) from a file before it is decompressed. Like 7zip on windows lets you go in and do pretty much anything to a .ZIP, while it is still compressed as a .ZIP, WITHOUT unzipping it. you know what i mean?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thcue:
Really I like winrar better imo
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I've noticed that extracting the apk shows me all the files except for smali. Even when I try to decompile with apktool, a lot of the time smali isn't there either and apk manager doesn't give any error.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

Winrar should let you do the same thing. I remember when I had a Mac I used to use Unrar. I think that's what it was called. I don't remember. It was a couple years ago.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Yea, the same thing happens to me when I try to decompile com.htc.resources.apk in Windows.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gandalf:
Well there's a ticket open on the apktool page about it, it talks about how this is caused by API Levels being different and the aapt being outdated, so I downloaded the Android SDK and replaced the aapt in the directory I have apktool in, but I kept receiving the same errors.

You can see that it does say it installs framework to 2.apk, however, with those errors, it wouldn't be functioning properly

Look again them are warnings not errors have you tried to flash it anyway? I did notice after you get them warnings you can run the same command again and no warnings.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Do those warnings mean something will mess up when I recompile or that those files won't be there when I decompile? Also, after I recompile an apk whenever I put it in /system/app the permissions aren't set right in cm10. In Sense they are but not aosp.

The one line that seems to be a problem is the second one of the decompile where it says W: could not find sources.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thcue:
Could mean anything like could not find it so it leaves it alone. Did you try to run the same command again right after that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gandalf:
yea, same messages

Yes you you will lose everything but that is the point in order for ota (over the air ) update. Copy all of your personal files to your computer and the nandroid backup you are going to make . Then after you have removed Android and updated Webos reinstall Android like you did the first time with ACMEInstaller2.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
I use it for Skype and to update the latest preware apps but for the rest of the time (95%) I use Android.

it only takes 5 minutes to uninstall and 15 to reinstall. Do it when your bored.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I had no problems updating to 3.0.5. I did lose moboot, but that was an easy reinstall with Acmeinstaller. All my android files were untouched.

I would use webos more if it had more apps available. The battery life is much better than android, and the camera works. I use it for Skype. The preware tweaks really make a difference also.

Having a dual boot tablet is why I like the touchpad so much.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsjc741:
Hey guys, im coming from a Galaxy Nexus, so all this is pretty weird to me. Usually the kernel is included with the ROM, but it seems like you have to worry about your kernel here. Then you have to worry about if your recovery partition has been wiped.

And the dreaded EMMC bug.

So im running FF18, and i need to root and install a custom ROM.

I dont have Kies installed on my computer, but my device registered in Odin.

Can someone give me a run through on what exactly i need to flash?

If you guys have a TWRP recovery port instead of CWM5.x.x, id love to have that.

Or a CWM touch recovery

I regularly change ROMs, so of this FF18 bug is going to brick my phone sooner or later id like to know now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
TWRP is usually a no-no with E4GT, if you want a kernel/recovery use Chris41g for AOSP and agat or rujelus for TouchWiz based ROMs.

Whichever comes in a Odin flashable format with root.

alternate to that you can use sfhub's autoroot package to root your stock FF18.

And you need to read more as all/most of the ROMs come with Kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
If you use sfhub's Autoroot to add Agat's safer kernel you should be clear of the brick bug. Agat, Chris41G and sfhub along with the other developers have gone a long way to stopping the bricking from 'factory resets' and wipes. However many users who don't take the time to read the stickies, how tos and the OPs of the ROM developers still get caught by doing something that has been explicity known to brick the device.

As rovar said make sure you read the ROM developers recommended install method and follow it precisely using the kernel they recommend.

With some earnest reading (through entire posts) you will have loads of fun and enjoyment. The developers in this section are really good and pretty cool. Just do some searching and you will surely find what you're looking for.

Good luck and welcome to the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsjc741:
Ive just given it a quick glance, and it looked a little similar to the EVO 4G days where you had to find a kernel to go woth your rom, so rhats why i jumped to conclusions. My bad lol

Ill take a look again for an odin-flashable stock kernel

Sad theres no TWRP. Oh well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Sfhub has the Odin 'One-Clicks' available (by far the safest for people new to this phone) and rwilco12 has a repository of virtually all the kernels and modems flashable via Odin or CWM. Check them both out.

I'm currently rocking a GB ROM Calkukins 3.0 to be exact. Is there any kernel or way to enable USB fast charging? :P
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
Last night I unlocked the boot loader and rooted my Nexus 7. Today I installed Stick Mount and plugged in a 500GB WD external hard drive. The drive powered up fine and Stick Mount appeared to mount it successfully. What confused me was unmounting it. When I selected unmount, it came up still listing the drive as an active mount. I was expecting it to say no devices or something like that if it unmounted. To make things easier, I selected a 4GB Kingston flash drive. I formatted it to EXT4 on my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop and then utilized that on my Nexus 7. The same thing happened. It appeared to not unmount, but each time I selected unmount it just said active mounts with the device listed.

I explored it via Astro File Manager. As expected I saw a folder that populated in /sdcard/usbstorage/sda1. Okay, fine. But explain this to me. How is it that when I put files on the flash drive on my laptop, then mount it on the N7, it doesn't show up? Likewise, if I add files to it, then plug it in the laptop, the N7 files I added don't show up, yet the files I originally added on the laptop do?

AKA:

Files added to the 4GB flash drive via N7 are only accessible when plugged into the N7.

Files added to the 4GB flash drive via laptop are only accessible when plugged into the laptop.

I do not see the laptop files when plugged into the N7, and I do not see the N7 files when plugged into the laptop. It's as if each device is handling its own bit of storage yet it's the same exact flash drive... so how is this possible?

Likewise, does the tablet do any sort of caching? When I saw that the flash drive wasn't unmounting as I expected, I simply pulled the flash drive out of the tablet. To my surprise, I was still able to successfully create new directories on it. I was also able to launch jpg images (of course, ones that I originally copied to the flash drive from my N7) and view them accordingly. How is this possible if the device in question was not mounted?

Thinking it may be permissions related, I plugged in the flash drive to my laptop and issued a chmod -R 777 to it (allowing owner, group, and all others to have full read/write/access). I figured I'd open the permissions wide and see what happens, then throttle them back if necessary. But even when I 777'd the drive, the same behavior took place.

I have no doubt Stick Mount is fantastic based on the magnitude of positive reviews and discussion I've heard, but what is it that I'm doing wrong? Can anybody explain the behavior I'm seeing?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
So after some tinkering around, it seems like it's an issue with the file system. ext3 and ext4 do not show the contents of the flash drive, even if I 777 them recursively from my Linux system. HOWEVER, FAT32 works perfectly.

But.. I really don't want to use FAT32 due to the 4GB limitation. I thought I heard countless times ext3 and ext4 worked fine??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fOmey:
First off completely wrong section..

Anyway you can use NTFS file system & try motleys kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
My apologies. Stick mount = apps, and this is themes and apps, hence my assumption this would be acceptable. :p

NTFS is all well and good, but I really don't see the point in using it. I use Linux on almost everything at home, and Android being heavily Linux based suggests there's no reason for EXT not to work... especially when other users are reporting it works fine.

Can anybody utilizing EXT based file systems comment?

By that logic, we wouldn't even have a Q&A section. What are you ever going to have a questions about other than themes, apps, accessories, android development, or "general android"?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
Well I kept tinkering with it this evening but I didn't really get anywhere. I did manage to copy some files to the Ext4 flash drive with what seemed to be without issue. I was able to view the files just fine on the tablet. However I wasn't able to unmount the drive. Each time I selected it I just got continual messages listing the active mounts. I ended up getting frustrated and pulled the flash drive since it wasn't un mounting anyway. What was weird is it still had files listed in the directory... I assume they were cached somehow. It was acting as if it was still plugged in. Hmm...

Well, it sounds like fat32 is as good as it (sadly) gets... no?
