Thanks

Thanks a lot mate.. Really appreciate it. This was causing me such a problem :s
[HTC Sensation XL] tedgillespie:
Hi,

Bumping this as I have a similar problem and can see you guys dont like noobs making new threads (going by the welcome video) :silly:

I have a HTC Sensation XL on Three (uk), everything is stock as far as I'm aware.

Today I had to reset my phone, once I done this it brought up the boot menu instead of starting up which reads

LOCKED

RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOY-1.20.0006

RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M

EMMC-BOOT

APR 24 2012 18:59:39

HBOOT

Now i can move to select fastboot, recovery etc but pushing power does nothing? There is nothing wrong with the power button as it works ok to swtch it on. When I connect the phone to the computer Htc sync does not see it, neither does the computer.

Any ideas???

I have searched high and low for the past 4.5 hours and tried all similar problems fixes to no avail. Really want to sort this as I love this phone and have pictures on it which I cant get back either!

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!! :angel:

Ps

Forgot to mention that when I try to unlock the bootloader it just says waiting on device instead of giving me the big list of text. Dont know if unlocking it would actually help me but just trying anything!!!

Cheers
[HTC Sensation XL] tedgillespie:
BUMP

Anyone at all, 4 million members and no one can help me here??? ha

Would be grateful to anyone who could point me in the right direction here
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Start phone in bootloader, go to fastboot and press one time on powerbutton. Download the tool lexmazter made xl tool I think, start it and unlock bootloader. Then flash a recovery with same tool but be aware that touch recovery for hboot 1.28 also ics hboot in that you can't mount as card on computer. Then go to recovery and wipe all and mount as card for pc and move Rom in it and flash Rom from ad card
[HTC Sensation XL] tedgillespie:
Hi,

I've partially figured out what the problem is.

Before my phone locked me out I noticed the volume down button wasnt working. Putting two and two together I figured that this must be causing it to enter the boot menu when I push the power button to bring it on.

Held down the power up button as I switched it on and voila, phone comes on...only in safe mode.

So now the problem is how do I exit safe mode without switching my phone on and off? Obviously when I switch it on without holding volume up it just goes to bootloader where Im unable to select anything via power (guessing because volume down is stopping it).

Thanks for the reply!!!!:good:
[HTC Sensation XL] princessgrafi:
So glad i found this!! I was having problems after downloading the sdk. Thanks so much :D
[HTC Sensation XL] princessgrafi:
Hello, the android folder you attached here that i used to unlock my bootloader, can i use this for the rest of the process of installing Clockworkmod recovery? Or do i need to try downloading the whole SDK?

thanks

So Sprint is gonna dive the S3 for 50$ the Nexus free and how about the Note 2?

Does anybody knows if the Note 2 gonna be at low price at Radio Shack or Best Buy on Black Friday?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] randy2:
The note 2 is price locked and they ain't putting no specials on on it certain places is selling it lower like wire fly but even they raised prices the phone is in such high demand that they not bringing the price down anytime soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2kidz:
Best buy is selling it for $49.99 on black Friday. ..I saw the ad this morning. ..

Edited to add they will have the s3... Doubt they will lower the price on the note 2 tho...Sorry!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] siptang:
wirefly went down on price today to $279.99
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
I thought I saw $250 earlier on wiredfly...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
Yeah they raised it. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Yeah Wirefly raised the public price from $249 to $279. They also raised the friends and family price from $219 to $249.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] siptang:
Oh man that blows... I thought it was cheaper on Amazon... that's what I get I guess for not researching properly. sigh...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
I'm gonna buy it this weekend off contract. Is the sprint store my best choice? I imagine 650 will be the cheapest
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilgenyus:
That's the cheapest I have seen at a store. Its 799 off contract at best buy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] afbond03:
Yea, Sprint is the cheapest you will find it in store. I bought a sealed one off eBay for $600, plus no tax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledgie:
I have a hard time believing Amazon isnt going to drop price this phone over the next few weeks. Last year i got 4 E4GT's - 1 for $79 and 3 for $0.01. I dont expect the GN2 to be $0.01 but where does it say this phone will be price locked ? Anybody have any proof ? I cant imagine it staying at $299 for too long on Amazon no matter what during this holiday season. Bought 1 for $79 the week of thanksgiving and then the week after all the phones went for $0.01 until Dec 19th or 25th whereabouts. This high price is killing me. Trying to hold off...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Best evidence I know of is the arbitrary upgrade pricing release date of 1/1/2013 long after seasonal sales. $299 is only for new contracts as of now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jocelyn:
FWIW, Amazon just dropped the att flavor to $249.99 - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...ii-drops-to-249-99-50-off-on-amazon-wireless/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
I think best buy price matches sprint off contract price though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
Well I went to sprint and the phone is actually 700 because of an off contract purchase fee. I left because that's bull. So their actual price is a lie. So after tax its 740. So I will find one on Craigslist hopefully sooner than later. The only plus is no activation fee on off contract phones
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Goodluck finding on craigslist I think I've seen a total of one N2 statewide since release and they were wanting 650-700+
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
I know. All I see in Michigan are tons of people wanting to buy or trade for one. I might have to bite the bullet. But 50 bucks is 50 bucks. And regular price should be regular price
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
Ive seen them for around 650 sometimes less on ebay. or you might try best buy to see if they will price match sprints 650. they did that for one person on here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Did you guy's see that the Galaxy S3 is free on TMO this weekend? The Note 2 is $199.99 right now. However these prices are with special mail in rebates. Some on SprintUsers posted this screen shot. Seems like some awesome mail in credits. $49.99?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
MIRs suck. IMHO.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Oh no doubt. I hated waiting like 2 months to get my money back when Sprint did that crap. But it's still not a bad deal for TMO. Considering it was $379 for them regular price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
True...otherwise it looks like no Note2 Black Friday deals:

http://www.androidauthority.com/best-black-friday-2012-android-smartphone-tablet-deals-132278/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
that is not normal practice....were you at a corporate store or 3rd party
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] humanbean:
If you got told of an "off contract purchase fee" you were either lied to or not in a company store. Some third party store look like company stores. I wprked for Sprint until a few weeks ago and there is no fee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RPAK46:
Full retail is 650 for the note 2. They misinformed you unfortunately, there are always bad eggs in the company
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vlmendezjr:
I can confirm this. I purchased mine at a sprint store and was charged $649.99 plus tax, no hidden fees.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
It was a sprint store don't know about corporate.

I'll try another store today thanks for the tip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
Looked like a real one
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
it says it RIGHT IN your screen shot.

Sprint store BY PCS EXPERTS ie that it a third party store NOT a sprint corporate store.

I think (call to confirm) these are corporates in your area

535 West Fourteen Mile Road

Madison Heights, MI 48071

(248) 577-3100

31100 Gratiot Avenue

Roseville, MI 48066

(586) 415-2800

1365 Coolidge Highway

Troy, MI 48084

and yeah the stores in person can be deceptive.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] arabdrifter:
nvrm..found my answer... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
Your right 650 plus tax at corporate stores going to Roseville later or tomorrow. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] danelabera:
Go to wirefly.com today, you can get it for $$ 270
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] He123321:
I checked, and it showed it at $249.99 :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
That may be an upgrade or brand new contract price...I know I wouldn't have qualified for that price til new year's
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
you should qualify for upgrade now at least.

call retentions...follow the directions in this thread

no sense in paying full retail
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ycats:
I was going to buy from Wirefly last week by doing the add-a-line.....price would have been $219.99 + activation fee. However, the Note-2 would have to be on the new phone number and you can't change it to another line until after 6 months. So I bought it from Sprint, and after it arrived, activated it on my line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
For anyone who is interested in the s3 or knows someone. The Sams club. 96 cent deal can be purchased anytime by a premier member or whatever they have. I my sister got one last night
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledgie:
And you guys said it wouldnt happen....

Amazonwireless new contract individual or family $229.99

Add a line or upgrade $279.99

I know its not much but we are getting closer !

Edit: titanium only so far
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
Thanks for the help guys bought a note2 off craigslist for 435 cant believe it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
WOW $435 is nuts !! good score man !

GET INSURANCE on that critter !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwss:
Great deal. Did you check before hand that it's unlocked? That the person won't call it in stolen?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] royshero:
Met him at a sprint store had to give him an old evo shift and took 40 off. Didnt pay him till it activated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilgenyus:
Thats a great deal man. I sold my s3 for 425 last week and paid the difference of the full retail price. I tried to get sprint to let me early upgrade to no avail. I was searching on Craigslist too and people were trying to charge more than retail for one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bignibb:
I sold my Galaxy note 2 with a broke screen and bad esn for $510........... I guess they just had to have one.

Sent from the best phone on the planet, Apple take Note............
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
Crazy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
not really $20 for a new glass face and a quick flash to boost or some other provider and you could get $700 for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
I think the new glass face costs more like 200-300 cuz you need the digitizer too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
Nope. dozen of em on ebay for $30 and I have seen them as cheap as $20.

your thinking with the AMOLED screen YES those are around $300 still :) 99 out of 100 times you never crack the amoled just the "glass" in front of it and that is cheap to replace. (just not easy if you have not done it before)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wordlywisewiz:
Hopefully maybe they will have a cyber Monday one..I'm adding a line for $30( no extra 10 because it will be a crappy flip phone) a month extra because that's what my grandma pays for her virgin mobile..so this will end up getting 2 new phones every year! Plus I only need insurance on 3 of the lines :) but I'm hopping for at least $199 deal..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wraptor:
Just noticed wally world has the phone for $299 but you get a $100 gift card. Kind of a deal I guess...

http://wireless.walmart.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=36575_f7b755bf56c74724a6af106c66972df6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wraptor:
$199 for new customers at Amazon & Newegg (Newegg also waives activation and has a $30gc) $249 for upgrades.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adelmundo:
Walmart.com has the Note 2 for Sprint for $299.99, but it includes a Walmart eGiftcard for $100, so it nets out to $199.99 (plus taxes). It is also eligible for UPGRADES as well. Shipping is free, too. The only thing is that you will be charged the $36 upgrade fee separately by Sprint, but maybe you can reduce that by calling Sprint for the loyalty credit as mentioned by another post. The deal is good from now until 1 December 2012. Also the eGiftcard promo is good for the other 3 carriers as well.

EDIT: Looks like I won't be charged tax (and I'm in California) when I did the process online. I know if you do it in stores (both Sprint and 3rd party like Best Buy), they do charge for tax on the full amount of the phone so that's a win!

EDIT 2: You will get a $100 eGiftcard emailed to you on or before 18 January 2013. The account has to be in good standing on 14 January 2013 to receive the eGiftcard. The eGiftcard can be used at walmart.com, samsclub.com or printed out an used at Walmart or Sam's Club stores.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledgie:
I knew it. Im guessing between now and Xmas thats the price we'll see. Or less. Hoping amazon gets on the $79 for new line activations bandwagon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adelmundo:
Problem is Amazon is charging tax for me. Walmart isn't so that's $57 right there saved for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wordlywisewiz:
Well I will wait it out till December 1 then.. hoping amazon might drop it to at least 149
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wraptor:
Amazon has a price guarantee for 14 days so even if they do lower after you purchase they will give you the difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
In California Walmart only charges tax on the sale price. They don't charge on the regular retail price. I found this out a few months ago. I bought my wife's iphone 5 for $205 out the door, anywhere else would have been at least $50 higher due to taxes.

I got my GN2 from Wirefly for $219 shipped to my door via FedEx, with no taxes and no rebates etc. The walmart.com deal is nice, but it's like waiting for a mail in rebate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wordlywisewiz:
To much of a hassle..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
Does this upgrade option at Walmart work for sero accts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cybervyrus8587:
Thanks for that...just ordered mine.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockypr:
Any Cyber Monday deals?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sledgie:
Im on the outlook for em. Amazon still has both colors new line/new account 199.99 upgrade 249.99. Im willing to bet we might see something lower from amazon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
negative. as far as I know you can ONLY upgrade sero accounts at a CORPORATE store (if you want to remain on sero)

let them upgrade your account to whatever. the next business day call up cs and explain you just upgraded your phone at the sprint store and I need to get my account corrected and they will change it right back for you.

did 5 lines ZERO issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Did you the upgrade and switch back to SERO recently?

I called on Black Friday to Sprint and was told if you switch out they cannot switch back.

I ended up having to order over the phone with Sprint.

I am on the Sero-P plan BTW.

Of course, I've read that if you call Sprint 10 times, you'll get 10 different answers...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wraptor:
Well I went into BB today and said they had the phone for $199 on Amazon. They priced matched at $199 (even though it's $249 for upgrades which is what I was doing). Also got $20 back using my Amex card. Total cost was $218.99 out the door with $20 credit on my Amex card. Not too bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twe90kid:
Lucky ur tax is cheap
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nkstn007:
Did the exact same thing. Took some convincing though, he wasn't going to match it at first. Then I told him that at Walmart they have it for 299 with a 100 dollar gift card and I'll just pick up some groceries with it anyway. Then he said fine I'll match it.......:( Had to pay California tax on it though. Total was $267.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Should have just bought it at Walmart then bro. You would have came out ahead. But would have to wait for that $100 gift card.

In California, Walmart only charges sales tax on the phone purchase price, not the phones full retail price. I just learned about this a few months back. So it would have been about $325 - $100 gift card =$225.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] adelmundo:
Any other Cyber Monday deals for upgraders? If not, I'm going to stick to the Walmart deal as it comes out better after all because of the lower tax hit for a person like me in California, though I have to wait for the gift card in a month and 1/2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Consensus we reached over on [H] ardforum was that CyberMonday was a joke in the tech realm this year.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wadeheisen:
Ordered mine from Walmart online today, no sales tax (though I am in California). Upgrade isn't actually available until Saturday, so the phone will be shipped overnight on Monday. Good enough for me, and the wait until mid-January for the $100 doesn't bother me, it'll be like a late present. Combined with the $100 off I got from Sprint, it takes the cost of the phone down to a net of $119.99.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MUHAHAHAHAHA:
If you ordered from Walmart, be prepared to wait a bit... Mine has been stuck at "Approved - Awaiting Inventory" for more than 3 days now. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wadeheisen:
Ordered the White one instead of the Titanium, it was in stock and ready to ship.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] journeyman73:
I ordered mine via Wirefly and customer support emailed me stating that they're expecting stock this Friday. Given that both Walmart and Wirefly both uses Simplexity, this may hold true for you as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
I order mine on Saturday so I hope they aren't out by the time I order mine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wadeheisen:
That's part of the reason I ordered from Walmart. They let me put in the order (and presumably get on the reservation list for a device) a week early. They won't ship it until the upgrade eligibility on Saturday, but at I don't have to wait and watch them sell out everywhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
Yea I was thinking about doing that too. I checked Amazonwireless, and I noticed they are just completely out of stock...that is crazy. I love how much traction Android is starting to get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pauze10:
Ordered a Titanium Gray from Walmart on Monday, and had the "waiting for inventory status" until today. On a lark, a few minutes ago I checked my order status online and saw a notification that there was an issue with setting up my phone and the rate plan I selected, so I called in and spoke to an agent. They resolved whatever issue it was (I'm not exactly sure what the issue was since this was supposed to be just an upgrade, but whatever), and they got the phone setup for shipping today. Should be receiving it Friday if all goes well.

You should all check your order status to see if anything's updated. I didn't even receive an email that there was an issue with my order.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] journeyman73:
The exact same thing I went through via Wirefly round 2pm today. No email alert either
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
I hope you guys are right about them getting stock on Friday...just input my order through wire fly...only thing is now my Spouses GSIII has the "usually ships in 1-2 weeks" banner
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] journeyman73:
Well now it says "Ships when available" which looks to mean that whatever stock they had is now depleted. When I ordered my phone a week ago I got the "Ships when available" link so now it's a possibility you won't see your device until sometime next week if your just now ordering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
Just got off a chat with an employee and she said they had Galaxy Note IIs in stock, but not the GSIII. However, she also said they were getting some by the end of the week....and there's only one day left in the week
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bandage:
Here's MY Black Friday Deal...

Bought an iPad Mini 16GB for $329 + Tax

Sold it on eBay for $460 once everyone sold out..

(people amaze me...just can't be patient!)

Bought a Dell Inspiron Duo for $200, slapped Win 8Pro on it for $40,

then sold it on eBay for $375 (yeah...SOME people are just like that)

Picked up an HP Slate 500 off Craigslist for $175,

slapped Win 8 Pro on it for $40 and sold it for $325 on eBay

(I'm tellin ya...TRY IT! Win 8 on a touch screen device that sucked with Win7 is like tossing a bloody slab of meat into the tiger's den at the zoo!)

So...$130+$135+$150=My Note II and then some :D

Oh, and I got it at Walmart...$100 Giftcard cometh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
Right now the Galaxy Note II is out of stock, and they have no idea when it will reach their distribution center. I just chatted with the lady today. However, if your looking for an SIII, they are getting a shipment on the 3rd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masber2000:
Very impressive! Got my Note this weekend, and waiting on the GC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
Hell yeah Bandage. thats the way to do it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
So, I just got off a chat with Wirefly, and they stated they are getting a shipment of Galaxy Note IIs tomorrow; however, they could not tell me any carrier specific information. Please, anyone update if you get a tracking number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
Does anyone know what carrier approved means (obviously I know it means the carrier approved the upgrade) but does it mean I will have the device shipped? It said approved awaiting inventory yesterday. Now it says carrier approved.
