Remind me how to refresh a Fw again, I've lost track in what's what lol, flashed so much, thanks man
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i suppose you know what is your fw version

the only thing you have to do is rename the zip file as PG58IMG.zip,place it in the root of the sd card,then reboot your device into bootloader and just follow the onscreen instructions:cool:

Once your rooted and soff with custom Rom the reboots should stop. I had the same exact problem. When I was running stock I was getting constant reboots. It seemed like when ever I did a task it rebooted. Once I rooted s off and I installed my custom roms the rebooting stopped never to return again. I still am unsure what was causing the rebooting . I'm just happy its gone. I've been rooted now about a year and no problems! I love it! I don't regret it for a second. It's well worth the effort! Best wishes

Ok when I do that it searches for pg58idmg, then finds no image then finds pg58img after but doesn't do much, does it every time, shall I try with one x program?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
one x program?do you mean the htc one x all-in-one-toolkit?i do not suggest that

are your sure that you renamed the zip file correctly?
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
Didn't have to rename it, it was already that name when i downloaded it PG58IMG.zip is the name of it, the one it trys to read is, PG58IDMG.zip and the.ain't one
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
really strange for me at least.i have never seen before mentioning such a thing by someone else

unfortunately i can't think something else to suggest you:(

if you have patience wait for someone else who had been experienced in that situation to provide a solution

if i think anything else i will inform you

really sorry again:(

I'm already s-off and rooted and on 3.33.although my phone got stuck on boot logo and I have to install a new ruu, I wonder if that's the problem, bet I installed the wrong ruu

What's the right ruu for this phone is unlocked but I'm on vodafone

?
[HTC Sensation] PHo3:
I have the Same Problem since i am in s-off , unlocked and custom Rom. Up to 5 restarts in 24h. No Batterie Problem. Now i have done Full wipe twice and flashed custom Rom again - i am waiting.
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
I think it's something to do with the firmware, as I don't know wether I installed the correct ruu or not, my phone got stuck on boot screen got told to install ruu and run it, did that, ever since then I have been.having this problem
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
Anyone found a fix for this yet, it's really getting on my nerves lol
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i saw you decided to flash a ruu

by vodafone you mean you have bought the device from there.if yes see here and try the pyramid-vodafone ruu.exe

Cheers mate trying it now, I installed the one b4 3.32 one lol cud that be why it's restarting all the time?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
are you succeded?if yes then i am happy:cool:

about restarting maybe the OP was crushing somehow and was causing restarts
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
Nope didn't work, formatted as card.and button on there was doing it, thinkin maybe, somehow, I gotta clear the hboot loading bit, but prob won't work, was fine b4 I did all the s-off and stuff :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Relock the bootloader...

This command from bootloader/fastboot

fastboot oem lock

Then run the ruu again.. Let me know the result.. Let's get to the bottom of this :)
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
Think it might be the battery problem, where I have to put a bit of card in it to push it against the connectors
[HTC Sensation] xzellenz2012:
Thanks everyone for it help, I put a bit of credit card in the top left corner of the battery and its gone off once in the last 15 hrs, so I think I have done, so for anyone having the same prob try this. Thanks everyone for or help

UPDATE: been nearly 2 days and its restarted 2 times, where as before it was like every 5 mins, sometimes quicker, so I believe the trick worked well

Another reason to NOT use root toolkits.. http://www.symantec.com/connect/fr/blogs/malware-uses-google-go-language
[Nexus 7 General] mustbepbs:
Or..just use ones here on XDA made by trusted members? I don't understand your point.
[Nexus 7 General] airmaxx23:
That's the difference between grabbing a random root tool kit from the web and getting one from a trusted member of the forums.
[Nexus 7 General] morfic:
Since there are no tools needed, the point is to not use something that is now even used to hurt your machine.

I used a rootkit at first, only because I didn't realize how easy it was to get a custom recovery onto my device. Now that I know how easy it is... no more rootkit. Ever.
[Nexus 7 General] Mutalisk:
Thanks to pointing out.

Was new to the Nexus devices and unfortunately used a rookit as well (now I know more how to use fast boot etc).

No more rootkits for sure :)

But how exactly can I check if the rootkit is infected? :)
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
You can probably upload it to VirusTotal and give it a check over if you want to be absolutely sure :)
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I'm not sure I understand the point the OP is trying to make. Don't use a root toolkit because it could really be malware in disguise?

Unfortunately that's silly advise, because you can make that argument for pretty much any software. I work in IT support and almost daily I see computers infected with viruses because the user click on what they thought was a legitimate anti-virus warning. However I'm not warning people to never install anti-virus software in case it is really malware.

Root toolkits are just like any piece of software you download from the Internet. It's all about getting it from a trusted and reputable source. Anything could be infected with malware if you get it from the wrong place.
[Nexus 7 General] mstrk242:
Actually, the point he is trying to make is this is a nexus device. It's DESIGNED for developers. You can easily root it with a few simple commands. The real service Simms is trying to provide is to get people to understand how adb works, how fastboot works. This does two things. 1. Gets users to understand the device a bit more, which benefits everyone, and 2. The more comfortable the users are with adb and fastboot, and the more they know about the basic android os, the better feedback they can provide to the developers. (For most of us, logs and last kernel messages are very easy. Just remember it's not the case for everyone.)

But, people like to do it the lazy way. Simms is just saying it's dangerous. While a necessary evil on some devices, a nexus isn't one of them. (Not to say what you said isn't true. I work in IT myself, I know firsthand how easy it is to get viruses. But on a device where all you have to do is reboot into booloader, type fastboot oem unlock, and bamn no hacking needed, why take the chance?)
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I don't personally know Mark Skippen (aka mskip), the developer of Nexus 7 Toolkit and also the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (and probably other things). But I've used his root toolkits for quite a while, as have many, many other people. Zero complaints.

When I use his toolkit to root, I don't feel like I'm taking a chance of being infected with malware.

I can root myself, I have. But I use the toolkit because it is a nice time saver.
[Nexus 7 General] GuestD0701:
I learned basics of how to use SDK, fastboot, adb on day 1 of my maguro watching YouTube vids a while back.. :what:So easy and at least you learn something and not use someone's work around, makes sense to me... If I'm gonna do something I might as well learn it the right way, try and gain a lil knowledge into this deal.. On other devices I use Odin.. No need for toolkits really, Odin and Fastboot are simple enough. I'm a slow learner to this stuff & I have enough down to where I can do what I must when necessary.. :sly:

[Nexus 7 General] tylerwatt12:
I just used a Root ToolKit, it's pretty nice, downloads things you need (e.g. stock images) without having to search the web for it. I had to return my device to stock. I do know all the fastboot and ADB commands but I prefer these because I don't have to sit on the PC typing each command for bootloader, recovery, system ,etc.. I can just press enter, grab a bite or something and come back, finished. the automated driver installer is also very nice because I've had issues with my PC not being able to find the correct adb/fastboot driver.

I have no problem with them, but users shouldn't just randomly download from the internet, It's just common sense, some users don't have any. I understand if you want to look like a 1337 pr0 h4xx0r, typing each command into a terminal though. It's just something we grow out of-

This stuff always fails virus checks. Big whoop. Make sure you get it from the main sources and live happy.
[Nexus 7 General] kitsunisan:
I've always hated the idea of one click root, I always said if you're going to do this you should have at least a basic working knowledge of what's going on. Because of these we get a lot of people on the forums who are completely clueless messing with the inner workings of their devices. If you do something to your phone and have no idea how to undo it you get what you deserve.
[Nexus 7 General] albundy2010:
Yeah get it from the main source. Google SDK/ Google factory images. Website/thread for the recovery and root of your choice.
[Nexus 7 General] ptesmoke:
If your stupid enough to screw over your PC,you shouldn't be rooting/unlocking etc anyway. Especially if you have no idea where to find dependable sources.

[Nexus 7 General] inspiremeplz:
So let's say I was silly enough to use a rootkit...and then got a trojan on my laptop from it. I cleaned my computer completely and my phone is rooted fine and works fine..

But then I got thinking, could my phone now have a virus on it now? Is there anyway to check? Looking at other posts, antivirus like Avast seems to be looked down upon by most users, and unless there's something I'm not aware of, you can't just "completely format" a rooted phone like a computer and do a clean wipe.

I love the rom I'm using, and I think that was clean. I just get paranoid thoughts about whether some virus on my phone I don't know about is sending logging my passwords or some private information about me...

?
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
where did you get this toolkit from?
[Nexus 7 General] inspiremeplz:
Somewhere on this forum (this was a little while back). Advanced Ace Hack Kit if I remember correctly. I think I got the .zip directly from somewhere on this forum, but I might've downloaded from somewhere else (doh) and not remembered.
[Nexus 7 General] smt8544:
I can't see the problem in people using Toolkits from xda. (mskip and wug)

This is what these devs do, just in the same way a ROM dev does his work on a ROM.

Who is to say that the ROM isn't a dodgy load of ****? The people flashing wouldn't have any idea even if they knew adb and fastboot inside out. Should this stop us flashing ROMs? errrrm no.

Just my thoughts,
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
I cant stand one click solutions for a nexus. The only click that even a new person should need is right click-copy, Right click-paste, into a fastboot terminal. Thats why I buy nexus. Superiority through simplicity.

The absolute worst thing that can happen as a result of simms thread, is that someone learns fastboot. Tragic, just tragic. :p

However, I did tell a new user that was asking questions about rooting the other day to check out a rootkit. That was my laziness, so I cant rightly cast stones either.
[Nexus 7 General] Sveke:
I've been rooting and romming since day 1 OG droid.

I use Wugs solely because I'm lazy, not because i don't know fast boot.

One clicks are fine IF you know fast boot too.
[Nexus 7 General] Fade2Blk:
I used Wugs because i waited a few days and read all posts, once it seemed safe and working, i took the plunge....worked like a top for me but i am sure there are some malicious scripts floating around out there
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
I used Wugs. Not because I can't execute terminal commands but because it's just plain simple to use. He is an awesome developer who packaged a tool to get the job done well. Isn't an opposition to the use of his toolkit the same as throwing an insult? Just sayin'.
[Nexus 7 General] Heisenberg420:
Give me a break. The toolkits on xda are supported and you can literally talk to the developer. All the toolkits you find here are 100% safe.
[Nexus 7 General] cadcat:
I agree. Stupidity is its own reward.
[Nexus 7 General] jinx100:
The root toolkit is quite nice. In one download you get the Windows adb drivers, fastboot, rooted and unrooted kernels for each release, busy box, su and/or SuperSu. You can still drop into a console window from the toolkit and type the commands yourself, if you like.

This is much nicer than searching for all these components.
[Nexus 7 General] nodstuff:
You people are missing the point here, simms22 isn't saying the toolkits here have malware, he is saying that the chance that some toolkit you may find somewhere MAY have malware and that, along with wanting to educate yourself, is a reason not to use toolkits.

I totally agree, I think toolkits should be unavailable to people until they can prove they are able to use fastboot/adb and pull a last_kmsg or logcat.

Too many threads are here from people who use toolkits to do everything and then when something goes wrong they start a thread asking for help when if they had just learned how to do everything the right way at the start it could have prevented any such problem or clutter-thread.

This isn't xda-helpmedothisidontwannalearn.com, this is a developers forum where people put their knowledge for other people to learn and benefit from all the hard work they have put in before. Toolkits, even though I never use them, are fine for people who know what they are doing and are just feeling lazy, they are not an excuse not to learn. /rant.
[Nexus 7 General] impossibilium:
It's not as if fastboot is particularly difficult to use. It's something everyone who flashes should get acquainted with, since it is so handy when things go sour, which seems inevitable.
[Nexus 7 General] computerking:
I can see points on both sides of this discussion, and I am guilty of using a One Click kit, although I am also learning to use fastboot & ADB.

One thing I notice is that when members of the "Learn it" crowd post the "simple" commands to do certain things (In this thread, for example), they don't go into the detail that may be required to fully convey how to do it (what program to use, for example, or where to get it if it can't be located).

I present you with a question: Do you believe people should be required to understand the workings of an internal combustion engine before they're allowed to drive a car? Programming tools such as rootkits are like physical tools: they are an extension of their underlying submechanisms (In this case, Fastboot & ADB coding).

As much as I'd like to deny computer use to some people who don't understand the basics of how to use them responsibly ("Oh, look, this email says delete all .dll files to stop viruses, I'll do that right after I forward this email to my friends..."), I understand that it's really not my call, or my business.
[Nexus 7 General] nodstuff:
No, but they should be able to change a tyre, oil, check for coolant, to put petrol in a petrol car and diesel in well, a diesel car. The basic essentials. (AFAIK these are now requirements in our driving test and many other countries too)

Nobody says these people need to be able to build their own ROMs or kernels (the equivalent of your car analogy) but they need to be able to do the basics, this isn't a kindergarten.
[Nexus 7 General] computerking:
I understand your sentiment, but when it comes to computer use, Kindergarten starts somewhere in the "How to use a mouse" realm. Just because someone can use a one-click rootkit doesn't mean they can figure out fastboot and ADB. A lot of new Nexus owners (who may stumble into XDA through a Google Search) may be fresh off the Microsoft bandwagon, looking for the "Ultimate Customization" that Android offers, and thinking that Root is the best way there. They may not even know that Windows has a Terminal program, let alone where to find it. A one-click program, made properly, will keep them from showing up on the forums making the "Help Me" posts that previous posters have complained about.

Good tools automate simple acts as well as complex ones, so those who can't figure out the simple acts don't pester the rest of us.
[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
I'll agree with everything you said, except the "lazy" part ha.
[Nexus 7 General] jinx100:
Actually, it would be much easier to just put the virus in a ROM image or kernel. So using a toolkit or not would make no difference.

[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
I learned fastboot/adb for the most important reasons...... Pride in knowledge, and self reliance. If mine frags, no new thread needed. I am confident in my own ability to get it fixed. That is always a good feeling.

I think fastboot is actually easier than rootkits anyways. All those buttons can be confusing for a noob. I think a gui is no more than a placebo. Fastboot is plainly written input, and as basic as you can get. The misconception that a command window is somehow an uber elite skill, in this situation, is total myth. And I totally agree, noobs brick with rootkits all the time. Then, post the same thread that has been seen 1000 times before. Then they get upset if nobody helps. Its just so repetetive. 20 minutes learning fastboot at the beginning, and all would be fine and actually save massive amounts of time.

Someone who really knows fastboot can use rootkits all they want. There is no shame in it. But for goodness sake, encourage new users to learn. We want to raise iq, not the thread count.

Not everyone can be taught, though. I am reminded of this every time I see a "Help me pick a rom" thread in the dev section.
[Nexus 7 General] xateeq:
I think if one noob get his device restored to factory or restore after soft brick then the need of having a toolkit is justified, i myself managed to format every thing on my nexus (even the rom i am suppose to flash via recovery) and left with paper weight, know little about fastboot and adb but device was not showing any chance to push files to memory. Good think there was restore option in toolkit and it did every thing for me. Ill take a Trojan or some other virus over not being able to use my tab any day. Besides toolkits are for those who dont want to learn so let them have unidentified source toolket with virus.

P.S: I very much respect the creators if toolkits, and i support them always.

I used a Toolkit to Root my Nexus and install custom recovery, but that's because at the time I didn't have enough bandwidth to download the Android SDK with ADB. But now that I have it, I wouldn't use the Toolkit.

But Toolkits are very useful tools for people who just want some root apps, and don't know a ton about Android and are terrified of using command or terminal. I know a lot of people who would benefit from being rooted, but would never do it manually.

And come on, it's just a program like any other. Scan it if you don't trust the source.

I used a Toolkit to root and install custom recovery on my device because I still don't know the fastboot way. Although the fastboot way is always a last resort, using toolkits just simplifies things, doing it in a just-click-away thing.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
But rooting is basically modifying a car to get more performance out of it. So I guess you think these programmers you can buy for cars should not be used. People should learn cam Mods, lift durations, boring out cylinders, gear ratios and so on if they want to modify their cars?

Heck you can just click on a website and get infected. What's the one general rule when it comes to computers? Only download something or click a link that you know for sure is safe. If someone is dumb enough to install something they have no idea where its from or who made it. Then they deserve to get screwed. Talking bad about one click rooting tools in general is I think insulting to the devs that spends the time in making them. So more people can enjoy flashing roms and just have a bigger world opened to them to get what they want.

If people wants to use one clicks what's it to you really? If its because of the threads one click screwed up my device then don't click on them. Only problem I have with one click root is I seen many like for the bolt that never worked right for most people.
