Great rom! could you add the "hold back to kill" fuction? and would you add the screenshot to the nav bar also?
[HTC Sensation] HolyGuacamole:
A few days ago I decided to finally replace my stock ROM with cyanogenmod 9.

After lots of reading and lots of trial and (even more) error I managed to gain S-off.

"The internet" tells me this is a very good situation because now I have the possibility to flash a new recovery and with that new recovery gain root.

And after gaining root installing cyanogenmod is possible.

Is the above information correct? if not, could you explain or elaborate? this makes it easier for me to grasp the huge pile of information that there is laying around on the internets.

The actual question I'm having is: How can I install a new recovery? and how can I check if a new recovery has been installed?

Information given when starting up with volume down + power button:

[HTC Sensation] Alsager:
Yes that is correct. You need now to ulnlock your bootloader, root and install custom recovery. Then you will be able to install your favorite custom rom. To unlock your bootloader go to htcdev.com and follow instructions. To root and install custom recovery the easiest way (in my opinion) is to use one of the multi-tasks tools available for sensation , you can find these tools here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668276

or here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497404

Please read the instructions carefully before you start the process to avoid any possible risls of bricking your phone.

Please make sure you have htc drivers installed, and htc sync program uninstalled.

Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Ur boot loader is good to go everything Is set just install 4ext app from market and install recovery from the app as I can see that u have followed the JuopunutBear methord it means that the superuser should be installed in ur phone and u have a superuser permission kk

After that all u just need to flash the cm ROM or any ROM and enjoy kk;)

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

His boot loader is already unlocked even better then just unlock its JuopunutBear;)
[HTC Sensation] HolyGuacamole:
Do you mean this application?

*wants to put link here but can't atm. I mean the 4EXT Recovery Control 2.29euro*

Is there a way to check if I have superuser installed and/or have superuser permission?
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Install root checker from market and see /and dovu have superuser app in app drawer

Yes but there is also a free one

On 4ext.com .....

Hi,

Look HERE

2. Flashing a recovery

BTW

You do not need to unlock your bootloader via HTC method,as was previously suggested.

:)
[HTC Sensation] HolyGuacamole:
the application Root Checker by JOEYKRIM says I do NOT have proper root acces.

Are you saying I should have an application called "superuser" on my phone? I can't find it.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
flash the recovery from the guide that malybru suggested

then flash this zip from recovery

http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Flash this recovery then u don't need superuser app anymore just flash the ROM after that

Superuser is only require to flash recovery from the 4ext app if u have it then only flash ROM kk;)
[HTC Sensation] HolyGuacamole:
Thanks this post was really helpfull.

Turns out the all the other recoveries I flashed weren't really succesfull despite the succes-messages.

After flashing the recovery, recovery mode was something different then normal start-up:laugh:

I used the method from the same guide to gain root acces using recovery mode and after that i succesfully flashed cyanogenmod 9 also using recovery mode (2 attempts were made first time i didnt wipe the factory presets) .

Forcing a paper clip down into the hardware of the phone was usefull after all!

Thanks all for the help & advice!!!

To really check if I understand it now, can someone say if the info below is correct?

The bootloader is used to load the kernel and after that the rom runnning the kernel.

Recovery is only activated when booting with volume down + power and is used to change the rom.

S-off means that some safe-guards are turned off enabling more changes to be made.
[HTC Sensation] Harbir:
Glade it work welcome to flashing world man

No, ur info is not 100%right here is some more info

Boatloader is required to flash firmware /radio etc ...(highly risky do not do anything stupid or bricked ur phone) no need to touch it again ....

Unlock boatloader = u can use Manny fast boot command when required or can flash different recoveries etc

Locked boatloader = u have no control over device.....

Recovery - it is mist important as it formats phone and install new ROMs and kernels mods etc

Soff = security off by the company and u can now modify ur device kk

Now I think your info will be updated ;)

Isn't the juopunutbear bootloader a locked one?

when i choose recovery it takes me to 4ext recovery touch

i bought the phone with no battery no sd card just the phone and i am using it on tmobile if that matters, thank you for your help in advance.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the only thing you have to do is do a nandroid backup from recovery just in case

then flash the rom

done
[HTC Sensation] eajack:
3.32 is what it says under software number(does this need an upgrade to 3.33 or is it OK?)

Also as soon as I go into hboot it says pg58diag .zip no image
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
avoid that

every time you are entering to bootloader always checking the sdcard for pg58img.zip or pg58diag.zip file

with your current firmware it is OK

Hi

Friends of volume buttons on my phone does not work: (Now I can not go to bootloader! There is another way to bootloader?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Which bootloader? HSPL or magldr?

Which OS are you running? (I know you posted in android but just wanted to make sure)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Whoa, you're a forum mod now? I remember seeing you around when I was a noob :p Anyway, I assume he means the tricolour/HSPL bootloader since no vol down wouldn't impair MAGLDR.

@OP there's no way to get into the bootloader without a working volume down button AFAIK. Sorry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Yeah I was recently promoted to forum mod :)

I still hang out here to help out people with HD2 issues though sometimes.

Well you can do it from Winmo using ActiveSync, but it is going to be tougher from Android.

Can't you get into HSPL from magldr?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Well I've seen dozens of threads like this where people have broken volume down buttons but never any solutions. You can't do it through Android (all of the reboot options just restart the phone no matter what one you choose) and you can't do it via Magldr either. You can get into the bootloader with a broken power/end call button (there's a reset button on the back of the device) but not with a broken volume button.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Yeah I was worried about that, was hoping he had winmo on it.

Sometimes you can discover things that will surprise you.. I´m discover few chinese ROMs (ICS 4.0.4 Sense 4.1) and tried one - it´s blazingly fast and near all working (except HDR and panorama) That ROM isn´t fully translated to my language (missing are in english) so.. simply very good.

I´m only user so links to them I can´t add, but if anyone wants, PM me..

Many Chinese ROMs have been removed from XDA for copyright violations and for stealing others' work. If you do post them once you have the 10 posts please make sure they comply with XDA rules before posting.

Well, check it for defects which is obviously.

Also check all your software versions.

Check whether its unlocked or not, this could be a sign of whether its been tampered with (turn off, then turn back on whilst holding volume down)

which one is better update from kies or odin??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Odin

-it's totally under your control

-you will have rom with you offline incase you need in future

-no restrictions in selecting rom

-you can reflash partial rom (contents) like modem, kernel, csc

It's only myth you can brick your device with odin, as far as you flashing rom which made for your device can never brick your device even you have made mistakes in selecting some options.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duyvinhnguyen:
I think ODIN is safe and better than Kies !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
May I ask also if MOBILE ODIN also is as safe as PC Odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes mobile odin is even more safe as it won't flash some dangerous partition. But limitations of mobile odin is your device should be working normally and also should have rooted.

PC odin is only choice in case of soft brick.

Known problem? Solutions anyone?

I just let you know that in "setting" -> "xperia" there is very interesting setting

1)ability to switch you

mobile in to the mass storage

:D but sd card only and have reading/writing speed of 10-11mbps, it is ok

2) ablity to turn of dlna server which means less battery usage

3) moble usage changer

and few other things !!!
[Xperia Z General] NZtechfreak:
Yeah, I saw this (tweeted about it yesterday in fact). Really nice touch at least having mass memory mode available for the external slot, since that's where you'll be storing media and doing the most transfers to and from if you use an external card.
[Xperia Z General] marcoplo:
especially if you onw 64gb memory card with relatively high speed :highfive:

[Xperia Z General] Bonta768:
Annoyingly it wont let me access the internal sdcard thru mass Storage mode, only the external one. My previous phone Samsung Galaxy S with CyanogenMod did.
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
that is the case with xz..sony has done it..not ur phone issue
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
The internal SD isn't an SD, it's just a folder on the internal memory and on a shared partition with /data. It's simply not possible to make that available over MSC in any reliable way.
[Xperia Z General] mochuothp:
how can i turn this off???

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samxool:
Sony really messed up this phone by putting a tiny battery in it.

I can only get 3 hours of on screen time with it.

All the reviews lied about 5-6 hours. its a joke.

I had the phone 4 or 5 days now, screen on 20%, NFC off, stamina mode on.

if i use the phone, its only for the occasional phone call, some basic website browsing or watching videos on MX player with H/W mode.

for example, it lost 15% battery watching half an hour video. thats 30% in an hour, so basically 3 hours of wtaching a video.

My phone is currently on 60% battery.

its been 17.5 hours since it was charged to 100%.

android system has used 21%

screen has used 18% (with screen usuage time on 1hr 12m)

wifi 13%

mediaserver 11% (what the hell is mediaserver??)

Cell standby 7%

voice calls 7%

etc

stamina mode is on, and i've whitelisted nothing.

It's had 2 or 3 full charges since i've had it. the battery life is a joke.

:(

from my usage above, does this all sound normal???

i love this phone, except the battery life. sony really messsed up here.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Sounds similar to my experience also.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonyStark:
Had over 5 hours with the phone on 13 hours of battery, yes there are software issues but this should be possible.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashkae:
Screen on time does not mean watching a video. Have you also tried turning off the bravia engine? You'll get a bit more life out of watching videos then.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samxool:
can i ask how you got over 5 hours? i can't get much more than 3. from what i posted above, what am i doing wrong?

i'm also thinking of buying this external battery.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-120...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362998255&sr=1-2

this seems like a good buy right?

i spend a lot of time travelling, so will rely on this to watch a lot of videos, plays games, etc.

it seems like a good purchase right?

because i absolutely love everything else about this sony phone, i even prefer sony's version of android over stock android! first time I have ever preferred a manufacturers version over plain vanilla android.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
I never watched a video only some youtube videos, so it might be different with watching videos. But I have the device since 28 February and the battery really seems to be improved allot. for instance I have used the device in the same way as last Monday but now I have over 10% more battery than last week. Also I noticed that the brightness heavily impacts the battery. If you are in a pinch the best is to lower the brightness to it's lowest setting with auto brightness turned on. Another thing with video is that it will differ between videos as bit-rate and format will have an impact on the battery. I would be surprised if you really notice a difference between 1080p and 720p in terms of quality since the screen is very small, but I would guess that it would be less demanding of the battery. Maybe a bit of experimenting with different bit-rate and format is warranted.

Media server is eating my battery please help me..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregulator:
Are you listening to music? I think that's media server, among other factors.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The things I tell you:
Mediaserver does seem to spring into action whenever you view images, watch videos and listen to music. For some users, it then goes into overdrive using a lot of processing power, making the device hot and draining the battery. I've read that a corrupt file can send mediaserver into an infinite loop.

Anyway, the mediaserver battery drain is an Android issue - users have been having the same issue with galaxy s3, nexus 4, nexus 7 and other devices. Try force stopping Google Play Music and uninstalling the updates, and if you don't use it, disable it altogether. Then switch off your phone, wait a few seconds, reboot and recharge. Other than that, you may have to reboot after loading music, videos, images or find the dodgy files (if there are any) on your device. Not really an acceptable situation - Google need to sort this long-running issue out.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MafiaManV:
Media server will show up when your watching videos/listening to music... Compare its awake time with your time watchings vids, and you'll see they match up. I noticed that newer versions of mxplayer are draining more battery than older ones on my XperiaS.( 5h vs 8h , theoretically) . Try downloading older version that has "hardware decoder" , not "hardware decoder+ " , or disable Hw+ . Im getting mine XZ this week ..i'll look into it

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
Media server is responsible for a lot of things. But most of the time when it is stuck it is stuck on indexing. Could be the SD card, best is to reformat the SD in the phone. Also I noticed it is sometimes slow to update photos that I added manually, this could be because I have stamina mode switched on dough.

You can force the Album app to re index by removing data and cash and re starting your phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ame123:
Hmm...need to sort out this media server problem...do you have any solution..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
Like I said format your SD card in phone put the media back on it and let it be indexed. indexing is done by the media server and depending on the media on your sd card this could take a while. Also switch off stamina mode while it is busy indexing.
