[HTC Sensation] matt95:
Hello everyone! in this guide i'll show you how to flash custom roms which requires s-off when your device is not.

For example for the people who have unlocked the sensation through HTCdev.com, don't have s-off and want to flash custom roms :good:

ok so you will need at least:

Unlocked Bootloader

Rooted Device

PC with Android SDK Installed (ADB, Fastboot)

Custom Rom (to be installed)

Ok you if you have these things you're half way to flash a custom rom, Now what s-off devices can do is to flash the rom's boot.img

So this is really simple, we need to flash ourselves the boot.img, which our s-on devices can't do by itself

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1.

First you need to extract the rom.zip and inside of it you'll find a folder named Kernel (most of the rom's boot.img are in that folder, if it is not there find it out in the other folders)

Step 2.

Now that you have your boot.img you need to copy that file into your

Android-sdk/tools

folder

Step 3.

Next we need to flash that file onto our Sensation so reboot your device in fastboot mode, open the cmd and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

at this point the cmd will proceed to flash the boot.img file and when it's done type:

fastboot reboot recovery

Step 4.

Ok, now that we have flashed the most important file we need simply to flash the rom through recovery

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reboot and it's done :D you have flashed the rom correctly :good::victory::D

NOTE: YOU NEED TO FLASH THE BOOT.IMG FILE EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, IF YOU DON'T YOUR DEVICE WON'T BOOT
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
sorry to butt in but ..this was already covered here :D
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
yep, i've seen that after doing this, however this is an easier method and it is different....
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Thanks for the effort but as ganeshp already pointed out this has been covered in great detail already in the guide he linked. Also I do not see how this is easier, for one this method is covered in the guide, and two how can it be easier than enabling smart flash in 4EXT Recovery. When you do this you do not even have to connect your device to a computer via USB to flash the boot.img, it is all done on the device itself. No extracting the boot.img, which is not in a folder named kernel normally, only with Aroma do you have that. As I said thanks for your effort, your heart is in the right place, but this was just not needed.
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
yeah, maybe it is not easier than the other method but i did it cause my friend wasn't able to star the 4ext application and he couldn't flash the recovery properly, even in fastboot. So i decided to make this guide to help people who have such problems, more guides/different methods = more possibility to have success ;)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naelme:
I don't understand why this is being disabled by browsers, chrome won't let you use it, dolphin browser disabled the feature and it also says to refer to iPhone 5 that its no longer supporting it on android devices..

I installed adobe from the website not the store.. works fine on stock browser after enabling always on..

Are they removing flash player all together? What the heck will we use? Pleanty of sites require flash player..
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
It's more the fact that most browsers never supported flash on android. Chrome didn't. Dolphin used some server side processing to allow support for flash websites but that wasn't true flash.

You've just gotta use the stock browser (or ics browser if not on jb) if you need Flash. It is still also possible to have flash player on jb, despite a lot of people complaining it isn't possible.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naelme:
I'm confused.... flash is being used so widely. How will android view sites without bypassing.

Everything is slowly being converted to html5 coding. It is less consuming and more optimal
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashcunak:
HTML5 coding groups have split and are now heading in different directions possibly... maybe?...

http://www.i-programmer.info/news/191-htmlcss/4531-which-html5-whatwg-and-w3c-split.html

that scares me, so which standard will which browser follow?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawrence750:
Well thinking of current standards, there are different implementations of things, css html asp and the browsers support them all. So in reality the browsers will probably support all different variations (if it does go that way), as long as they at least vaguely follow the original standards.

Correct me if I'm wrong I'm no developer. (one day hopefully)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Dolphin still works fine for me and it does not use server conversion. I have the TF 300 with stock JB OS.

Flash is being phased out in mobile devices since its memory and cpu intensive and generally has poor performance on mobile compared to a desktop. Apple began the transition with others following. Hopefully the transition will be over by 2014.

i need the stock rom dose any one have it or no where i can find it???
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Was your device shipped with froyo or gingerbread? And are you looking for an ruu to flash on an s on phone or just a stock zip for a s off phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] system155:
it shipped with foyo but im looking for gingerbeard with s off
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
The latest OTA, rooted, is in the dev forums by Gizmoe. I recommend that you search a little harder for it next time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You can install my gizroot v1 if you don't want to overclock. It's pretty much pure stock minus bloat.

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Wi.fi Gt-p3110, which got dropped, the screen and back is intact, but the silver bezel is ruined. I looked for it on ebay, amazon, google and so on....I can't find it anywhere.

Samsung repair

I would send it to samsung, alot of people are scared of sending the devices back to the manufacturers, but i have had a lot of success sending them items. I work at a retail phone store, and i probably send samsung 10-12 items weekly, and they are awesome to work with. I can send you the repair info if you need to send it back. Taking tabs apart by yourself is no fun at all.

Is your tab rooted with the works?
[Transformer TF300T General] kaspar737:
Does this tablet also have I/O issues like the Prime does?
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
Yes
[Transformer TF300T General] krabappel2548:
Yes, it also has io issues, but I'm going to try make a kernel to boost them a bit :p

But there is an unexpected problem at the moment :(
[Transformer TF300T General] kaspar737:
Okay, it seems like I am going to buy the Nexus 7 then. Thank you for the answers anyway :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Zadeis:
Just as a heads up Jelly Bean greatly helps the I/O problems at least from my experience it has.

Nexus 7

Kaspar,

For what it's worth. I returned my 7 and bought a 300.

MUCH better machine IMHO.

Jim
[Transformer TF300T General] Zadeis:
Really? Wow... Might I ask what makes you prefer the 300 over the Nexus 7?
[Transformer TF300T General] n00b1c1d3:
Might I interject by stating that with the 7 you are limited to <16 gigs while on the 300 you can have 64gigs minus android stuff. not sure if you can stick a full sized sd into the dock for even more though. also the larger screen, and an hdmi port (which i find utterly useless personally, as it is not working well with my TVs). seems like you just get more.
[Transformer TF300T General] nooktablet:
i personally prefer the nexus 7 over the tf300 because:

- it's cheaper

- it's a nexus

- it's a 7 inch tablet so i won't drop it easily and can carry around

but i bought the tf300 because:

- i have some money in my amazon gift cards balance and amazon is selling the tf300 for $380 ($20 less than MSRP) no tax, free shipping, while 3rd party sellers are selling the nexus 7 for around $300 + tax + shipping fee, -> so the price difference is about $60 - $70, and the tf300 has bigger screen, hdmi, microsd,... this makes me buy the tf300

- asus is known for having bad QC, tf700 and nexus 7 owners are now exchanging their devices for a good one, some have to exchange for 3 - 4 times. the tf300 was released 5 months ago so they should have better QC for this one and looks like the chance you get a defective unit is low (although i got a defective one, hopefully my new one is ok), or at least lower than the tf700 and n7

if amazon sells the nexus 7, i'll buy it right away ($250, no tax, free shipping, can exchange easily -> awesome)

well so main factor is still the price lol, sometimes i think we live just to make money :rolleyes:
[Transformer TF300T General] kaspar737:
Well I really do like the form factor and the fact that the N7 is a Nexus device. Still those I/O issues seem to be horrible. I like when a device is good out of the box and great when you install custom stuff on it. I don't like when the device out of the box is bad and you have to make it good by installing custom stuff. Really, the only thing I would miss on the Nexus 7 is a full size USB port (and with some hacking it seems to me that you can add a full sized USB port to the N7
[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
Strange....since I updated to JB, things seem to take much longer to load, quite frustrating. Are you saying improvement in gaming load times?
[Transformer TF300T General] Zadeis:
No in a general use sense. Such as using it while updating an app or the browser is now significantly more responsive. Further more benchmarks show a significant rise in I/O performance.

Though, this is all my observations.

When I first updated everything was jittery and for the most part slow. Though I did do a factory reset and put everything back and it has been smooth sailing.
[Transformer TF300T General] Evan_:
I am not very happy with the performance of the tablet when switching between (running) apps.

example: When I go from my PDF reading, to the web browser (chrome or firefox), there is a delay and it seems that the browser takes time to load and re-initialize the open tabs. I am not saturating the internal RAM so I would expect the browser to switch instantly.

Is this a result of the IO issue?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AZ FadeOut:
Hello all, I'm just wondering, if once you root via HTC's method (since my phone is 651.3 there's no other way that I know of) can you make your bootloader say *Locked* (NOT relocked) in case you need to get service at a sprint store? I know you can remove the yellow triangle on certain Samsung devices so I figured I'd see if you could do something similar on the EVO. Thanks guys.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
No, you can only modify the hboot text with s-off. If you really wanted, you could actually relock it using fastboot but I think even then it says relocked instead. I don't think there's much reason to...it sounds like Sprint doesn't really care. Especially since you unlocked using a method provided by HTC.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AZ FadeOut:
Ok thank you. Now, I know with the EVO 3D, and using htcs unlock method, you had to use fastboot to flash kernels and recoveries, is this still true on the new EVO?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Nope, HTC wants to make sure they know

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Yes, if you've taken any OTAs. If you havent taken any OTA's you can flash anything with S-ON

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
This is in relation to my other thread, however I created a new one because the title of there other is no longer valid. I can reboot into recovery and download mode. I have flashed everything that was recommended through odin. Everything appears to be back to stock , however the phone only boots when on the charger. Sometimes it stays booted for a few minutes and sometimes it remains booted for only a second. When it shuts off a blank battery appears with a circle in the middle. I tried a charged battery at verizon and it did the same. It is as if the phone does not recognize the battery. This happened yesterday when I was using gps. It just shut off and the problem that I just explained began.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DennisJuneLee:
Maybe just get it replaced? as long as its all stock, you should be fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
I maybe will have to. Is there anyway I can be 100 % sure that it is stock if I cant even get the phone to boot up? When I get into download mode the flash counter is not tripped and it says official. I can not afford to have Verizon charge me 600. Do they just charge you out of the blue without consulting with you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
Bump. Anyone? Donation for anyone who can get me back up and running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
Have you tried the phone with a DIFFERENT battery? Maybe take it to the store and get them to let you use one and if it works I would think they owe you a replacement battery. If it does the same with a different battery then I would get the phone replaced. If the flash counter is not tripped, and it says official in d/l mode I don't think you should have any issues with a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] COLJ04:
Kinda lame response but try cleaning the battery terminals. I have had a phone quit working like that and used a pencil eraser to scrub it clean and it worked after that.

Just wondering when sprint is going to push the Jelly Bean update to the GS3. I have a friend who got it a couple weeks ago on T-Mobile. Also anybody in the STL area know when we're going to get LTE from Sprint. And how to change Mobile Network to LTE. I have it set to CDMA/LTE I guess that if it's on LTE it will say 4G instead of 3G?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
To my knowledge no galaxy s3 has gotten the official jelly bean update, i don't think the international had gotten it, and i know no US variation has gotten the official update.

Everything that's it had been out are leaks or ports.

I have come to the SIII from an EVO 3D. With all of this talk about when jellybean will come out reminds me of ics for the 3d. So knowing sprint and how history repeats itself, get comfortable folks. It will a while. Not being pessimistic, just realistic to sprints delay habits. Took them greater than 8 months for ics once promised.

You probably have few media files.Put some avi,mkv,mp3,ogg files and you most likely will.

Oh and consider yourself lucky,you might not have it now but but it doesnt mean you want get it later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Long. Man that's early! E4GT took a year to get ics
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Yeah i know i got one,lol.That was short compared to og Epic which took almost 2 years to update to gb and its still on gb.

I think i like my Epic Touch little more than my S3 but its crippled because my son threw it in the toilet,so i let him have it,it just needs to be pluged in but everything still works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
From what I'm seeing from the developers, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 will have a functional (not official) jelly bean rom very soon. In fact, it seems they are very very close. The only things that are not working yet are screen rotation, mms, and some browser issues. Seeing how quickly every other issue has been resolved, I wouldn't be surprised to see a working jb rom this week.

Thanks for the answer guys. Not looking for a rom really since I haven't rooted my S3, yet... When I for my OG Evo I immediately rooted and flashed. It really needed to run better though. I stock sense for the OG Evo sacked. It was laggy and such. But so far. My S3 has been running like a top. Don't see a reason to root and flash, flash yet..... Although being able to tether for free would come in handy. BTW answered the LTE part of my initial question. No news on that one either huh?
