Hey, I bought an HTC Sensation 4g from some ngga on Kijiji.

The phone is already rooted running some AOKP 4.0.4 bs that I don't want. So I want to reflash to stock.

I don't mind the phone being unrooted, but I just want to make sure I flash this terrible piece of a phone properly back to 2.3 or 4.0

(Which ever gives me better battery life.)

The phone's also unlocked and I'm pretty sure it was on BELL CANADA before because it's like the only carrier with this phone.

Help me out:

Should I do anything here before I flash or whatever? wipe/format? backup/restore? mounts/storage?

BY THE WAY, IF I DO THIS WHOLE PROCESS OF GOING BACK TO STOCK,

WILL THE UNLOCKED PHONE, LOCK BACK ONTO *BELL* AGAIN?

Other than that, if I could get some SUPER GOOD help, I will feed you all Poutines.

EDIT: I found a list of RUUs and I'm not really sure what to do with them, but I think I need 1 of the first 2.

(Whichever gives me better battery life.)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] AdRock02gt:
I've noticed that on the micro USB that comes with the S3 there are connection prongs on both sides of the connector that goues into the phone. There are only prongs on one side on every other micro USB I've seen.

I still have the full size USB to micro USB cable that came with my old Evo 3d that has the 2 prongs like the others. So I tried using it on the S3 and it seemed to charge much slower than the 4 prong cable that came with the S3. Are any car chargers made with the 4 prongs instead of two? Right now I'm using the Evo 3d car charger and it doesn't charge the S3 worth a crap.

Hello guys. I have been using ADW Launcher for a long time. After I rooted my Android, I uninstalled the stock launcher cause I thought it was useless... I have been trying to find a way to install a custom ROM on my Android, and found a site where it said before I start, I should do a Factory Reset. I forgot that the FR would delete my ADW Launcher, I did it.

Now, whenever I boot my phone, I am stuck on a black screen instead of my ADW Launcher! :(

I can't buy a new phone at the moment, so I desperately need your help! I know it was stupid, but please, dont' judge... ;u ;

This is the phone I have: sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-mini-pro/

Please help.

Insert your SIM and use data. If you don't have a SIM with 3G or 4G borrow a friends just for a small launcher download, or buy one with a pay as you use plan and only download a small launcher like FTL. From there you can remove the SIM and use FTL to navigate to the Play Store and download adw

[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
How do I boot into recovery in a Xperia Mini Pro? :(
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
Do you have the ROM you wanted to install loaded on to your SD card? What custom recovery are you running? For future reference when a developer recommends that you do a factory reset they are implying with in recovery, not from the settings menu.

I don't have your device but I would try Volume Down+Power button at the same time. Pull your battery first.
[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
I have xRecovery Mini for Xperia Mini Pro, but for some reason, when I follow their steps to boot into recovery, nothing is happening... it's getting on my nerves! Thing is, I did everything they asked. It just doesn't work. I click Back endlessly when the Sony Ericsson logo appears, but nothing happens. It just acts as if I am not doing anything.

And yes, I do have the custom ROM on my SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
Do you have ADB working on your computer? You could always try that way. I'm not familiar with Sony devices, so the extent of my knowledge is slim. If all else fails use ADB.
[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
May I ask, what's ADB? I am on a Mac. :)
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
Android Debug Bridge.

So you have pulled battery and when you see White Sony Ericsson logo you press back button a few times and nothing happens?
[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
Precise.
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
Sounds like your recovery may be bad. Were you ever successful in getting into recovery?

At this point get ADB set up and try pushing recovery again.

If that doesnt work you will need to some how get phone into download mode and flash a stock restore then reroot and try again.

Sorry can't be much help as I don't have the device and have never owned Sony. Not well here and Nyquil kicking in. Good luck.

Is there a way to get ADB on a Mac?

[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
It's okay. You're doing a great job. I am downloading he adb at the moment. After I install it, what do I do?
[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
Yeah, I am really confused. I have this http://i.imgur.com/fJUi9.png

and I don't know what to do now!
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
I'm not sure how to set up on a Mac exactly.

It seems like from what I've dug into getting into recovery is a PITA. If you are 100% sure you are rooted and have xRecovery installed I'd try rebooting into recovery again and again, I just watched a video where the user had to try three times just to get into xrecovery. Button smash the heck out of the back button. It seems like it can't be done enough,

Was your factory reset successful at all, I.E. did you see any on screen prompts of it trying to wipe anything?

You will need to have installed the correct drivers on your Mac for it to recognize your phone, and ADB setup correctly. Check the XDA forums for your device for more guidance on that. You should be able to find your stock images there if all else fails to restore the phone completely.
[General Questions and Answers] AchillesAOT:
So what should I do? :(
[General Questions and Answers] DizDroid:
Ask in the Xperia sections of the forum. Search for a suppot chat room for your device. I believe I've seen "rescue" support chats for just this reason. Google is your friend in this situation.

I'll check back.

Hello there, Xperia P owners!

Has anyone been able to make CIFS Manager work on ICS (build 6.1.B.0.544)? I have searched the nets, and CIFS modules for this device and build are still nowhere to be found :( so I've been wondering, has anyone else been luckier?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] billerr.g:
Oh right... I guess I don't understand enough about custom ROMs. I thought a plain ol' cifs module compiled for the 3.0.8+ kernel would do. On with the waiting then!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] billerr.g:
Well, kernel modules for CIFS support on stock ICS still don't seem to be available anywhere for Xperia P. Am I missing something?

There is only one kernel with CIFS enabled, ThP's kernel. But it still seems to need the modules, or CIFS manager needs setup changes.

Does anyone have a clue on how to access windows network shares on Xperia P?
[HTC Sensation] chillzilla:
Is it possible to remap this to any of the other hardware buttons such as the volume buttons?

Planning to send it in for warranty, but in the meanwhile I would like to have a temporary solution.

The only remapping apps I found require root access, and since I am running Stock rom I am not able to do that.

Is it possible to gain temp root on this device, using a stock rom? I do not want to tinker too much with it since I still need to send it in for warranty.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
There is a temp root script however my understanding of it is that it needs to be run on every boot - though im not 100% sure and could be wrong.

All ways of "tinkering" with stuff in the system partition to do this sort of thing require root access.
[HTC Sensation] chillzilla:
I would love to see that script. So far all I found uses an exploit from nov last year which is no longer working.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Entropy512:
This post contains a complete firmware update package for N8013 UEALH2. It is based off the Kies images dumped by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847706

It was rooted and the system image rebuilt using the guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239 - FYI partition size for N8013 is 1400M

The package is at http://d-h.st/8v0

This will give you a complete restore to stock UEALH2 plus root, without triggering the flash counter.

By complete, I mean EVERYTHING: Kernel, recovery, system, hidden/preload, cache will be returned to the same configuration as if you flashed UEALH2 via KIES - the only difference is root.

Use Odin to flash it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Entropy will this my issues? Can you go take a look at my help thread and general and look at my picture of my download mode saying custom?

Sent from a Baked Black Jelly Belly
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] vypor87:
Entropy, will this work on my note even though i'm already running UEALH2? Got my update OTA last night before I had a chance to root it.

Also, if I'm able to use this and I root my device should I be wary about OTA in the future causing device malfunctions? In other words, what kind of update path should I follow in the future?

Sorry for the newb question. New to Samsung. Used to rooting and flashing and updating my old droid 2 global. Never did anything with my prime before I exchanged it for this and haven't done anything with my RAZR yet. I've kind of been flash cracker dormant for a while.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Entropy512:
Probably, however to reset DL mode to not be custom you'll need my TriangleAway support kernel (for now - Chainfire is going to integrate support into his app by including a compatible kernel for temp-flashing to reset). Flash it, run TA, then flash this and you should be on bone-stock except root.

BTW, this is a COMPLETE package including stock kernel and recovery. Once Mobile Odin supports this device (I gave Chainfire the info he needs to support N80xx) you can flash CWM and any kernel you want from rooted stock like this.

As to OTAs - In the past, many OTAs could be deployed safely to rooted devices as long as you weren't using CWM. However, Samsung seems to have switched to special incremental OTAs that patch the current binaries, so if even one of them is modified in any way, the update will fail. Happened to a lot of users with the last OTA.

Eventually you'll probably see custom firmwares that are deodexed and have the update-related APKs removed so you won't get OTAs.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
OK so flash the kernel via Odin ? I am on the old injected rooted tar will it be ok?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] iofthestorm:
Hmm, if this fixes the S Pen on my tablet I'll be pleasantly surprised. If it's based on the image from jaaka, and ODINing that didn't fix the S Pen for me, would this be any different? I have the same issue as David, tried to root after taking the OTA and after installing CWM and rooting the S Pen stopped working. I've flashed the root injected stock image from zedo multiple times to no avail, and also the UEALH2 one from jaaka, as well as trying to update via Kies after installing the root injected stock image. Formatted data/cache and system too once, although flashing in ODIN should overwrite system completely, right?

Also, can we flash this in Heimdall? Or would you recommend against that?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Entropy512:
I had weird issues when flashing with heimdall.

Try flashing this, wiping with STOCK recovery, and don't **** around with CWM until you're sure it's working.

Warning: I believe stock recovery is a full 100% wipe, including /sdcard (which is actually /data/media) - CWM takes measure to protect /data/media that might result in unclean wipes sometimes. This is why pershoot would always tell people to wipe in stock recovery if they had problems for example.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Wipe in stock recovery 1st? Also when I am on the rooted old firmware, the recovery reboot option doesn't work for me I have to old down power to reboot

Sent from a Baked Black Jelly Belly
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] iofthestorm:
Alright, will do that then. Still waiting for it to finish downloading, seems like dev-host is not that fast unfortunately (or maybe I'm just spoiled by university internet and 4G). I did wipe with stock recovery once during my couple hours of trying to fix my tablet and it didn't seem to help. I probably won't try flashing CWM or rooting again for a while until I can get confirmation from others that it doesn't break the S Pen again. The thing I wanted to try (Screencast) worked but was somewhat unimpressive in terms of quality so I don't need to show it to the person I wanted to show it to (plus without S Pen it's less useful for my specific use case).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
i know it is slow, we need a torrent LOL or on that other site that the other firmware was on,

i put clockwork on and tried wiping and nada :( question in order to wipe do u have to mount first in clockwork? I am use to twrp.

if that is the case i will give that a shot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] iofthestorm:
:( I think I've tried 5 times and each one failed partway through. Do sites like goo.im not let you upload files that big?

What about the site that the other guy used, http://www.peejeshare.com/ ?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ya i tried a lot too,

I also have tried every method in getting the pen to work, and always either get no touch screen or no pen.

I have tried wiping, different orders, flashing clockwork and wiping all in there.

NADA no pen :(

Shoulda of just waited to root til this came out officially.

I might have to throw in the towel if this tar doesn't work :( and and send it back after clearing the binary count. :(

Unless someone has another idea? :confused:

Holy crap, it fixed my S Pen! Thank you so much Entropy! Now a question for you - if this was based on the image from the other thread, why did flashing this one fix it but not the image from the other thread? Actually, any idea why rooting broke the S Pen in the first place?
