Ah, ok. Ill check out your link about the xml filed tonight as well as looking into downloading one of the battery apps you were talking about but the good news is that I do have a spare battery incase the one in the phone now proves not to be charging. Do you have any idea why this would be happening? I did the exact same stuff on another droid 3 and everything was fine. The first phone which I bought from a person who was upgrading did great yet this one that I bought froma verizon dealer on ebay is acting up. This phone came with stock screen cover and all the booklets and sealed battery charger and everything. I know the box wasn't sealed but with the exception of the. 90ynupdate already installed t, the phone appeared to have not been used. Is it possible that I wont be able to restore phone back to original. 890 stock that was shipped originally? I'm just trying to understand what could of happened so I know its not a faulty phone issue. Thank you Shadow for being so helpful, thank both of you that have responded. Please keep them coming lol!
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
battery apps, will not help, and I did not suggest any

if software is corrupt, phone can not charge battery, just that simple

even if 906 one click works, it flashes an unstable repacked 890, and recommended that 906 update is installed as part of the system restore
[Motorola Droid 3] fanofhan:
Yes im sorry, I had misunderstood you initially. I did have a chance to view the links so I realized what you meant after my post. Yes, I am also aware of the software possibly being corrupt, I just meant that fortunately I have z spare battery that I can pop in and use during the rsdlite fix but it does appear that my extended battery is charging since I emptied battery manager cache and force stopped. I will take it with me just in case though should I need to switch them out before I make the attempt tonight. Also I aware that the 1 click method would only be a temporary backup to .890 and that I would need to perform an update but I am just eager to see if my phone will revert back to. 890 because it came to me from a verizon authorized dealer with the latest update already installed even though they told me the phone had never been activated. It just makes me wonder if some how the operating system is locked from reverting to. 890 somehow. I just want to be able to return the phone to the condition it was when it arrived to me which was unrooted with the latest update already installed and all software functioning normally.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
It's possible that the Droid 3 was never used. When a new update is released, the manufacturers tend to ship phones with updated software, rather than having the user go through an over the air update almost immediately.

A Droid 3 that has had 5.7.906 installed on it cannot revert back fully to an older version - the locked bootloader prevents it. I believe that the 1-click installs the system of the older version, as that can be managed, and then allows you to have the 5.7.906 upgrade installed, which you should do right away.

However, at this point I'd stay away from 1-click. This link has the SBF file that you need: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_solana/list.php

It's the third in that table, under the column "download", on the line with "5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10

Blur_Version.5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US" as the system build number.

You will download a zip file called VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.xml.zip. As you can tell by the name of the file, that file is a zip file. When you extract it, it will expand to 17 files, including one called VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.xml - this is the file that you will be looking for when you follow sd_shadow's instructions for RSD Lite.

In fact, just to be complete, the files that will be expanded are:

RSD Lite uses the .XML file as a list of instructions about what to do with the rest of the files.
[Motorola Droid 3] fanofhan:
Thank you doogald, I'm about to begin downloading the stuff I need now so that I can begin. I'm hoping everything runs smoothly since I have to have this completed by the end of my shift in the morning. I really don't want to have to stay here all day tomorrow using my employers internet to try and figure this out. Thanks both of you guys for all your help. I'll let you know how it turns out. Geez, I hope it turns out right..
[Motorola Droid 3] fanofhan:
Ok so right now I already feel like screaming in frustration. I can't seem to find an RSD Lite download file. The RSDlite.rar download link that I found here on XDA, doesn't work on my computer, the same as the 1 click method. I did find a download on a sight called Tucows for RSDlite 5.7 but it seems to be stuck in the "installing" phase. I went to the link that Shadows posted, taking me to the how to page for RSD Lite but again, the link there took me to the XDA link, which doesn't work. The Tucows download for RSDLITE 5.7 is showing a Window that says Windows Mobility, and it has a light blue bar that is completely full but all it says is "RSDLITE is being installed" it doesn't appear to be doing anything else. I guess I can close it and try installing it again. Ok I tried downloading the Tucows 5.7 download again but it tells me the file did not install properly the first time and I need to try installing. What is going on? I am trying to reinstall it again. Why is nothing working for me, why is everything being so difficult. I'm trying to not have a melt down but seriously, why can't I find any files that work? They all seemed to be working at some point and are working for other people right now. I need help finding a working file I think.

try this one http://d-h.st/rLK
[Motorola Droid 3] fanofhan:
Why can't I find a file that works?? None of the .rar files work. They all download and then have a paper icon and when I try to open and extract the files I get an error page about windows not being able to identify the files or something and then it asks me what program I want to use to open the download. The only one that unzipped was the Tucows file and that was an RSDLite5.7.msi (whatever that means) and when I extract the files and attempt the download it's a Windows Installer which I run and it looks like it's going to work but then it just stops doing whatever it's doing and does nothing until I close it at which point it asks me if I'm sure I want to close because the installation isn't complete. What is going on?? I can't believe I've been trying to find a working RSDlite file for the last 2 hours. I thought I'd be done by 3:30 and here it is 2:20am and I haven't even gotten to the first step yet because I can't find any working download.
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
i never let window unzip file, try 7zip link in my main page

.msi is a microsoft installer works like. exe, except alittle different

[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes, you can flash custom kernels on stock ROM as far as I know.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes you can

look at my signature:cool:
[HTC Sensation] mrzakir:
Hi bro,

I have an sensation xe s-on, unlocked and rooted.

How can I flash a custom kernel on stock rom and how was the battery life?

Which kernel are available to flash?

We're u able to use kernel tuner for better battery life?

Await your revert
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
kernels can be flashed from recovery in the same way as roms

becasue you are on S-ON enable smatflash from 4ext(i assume you have it)

then flash the kernel

yes you can use kernel tuner

it has a lot of tweaks(overclock/underclock/undervolt)

but if you try to undervolt don't try to undervolt too much because probably you will have reboots

battery life depends from your personal usage too
[HTC Sensation] mrzakir:
Thank you bro will will try samsation with elelinux kernel...if the battery issue persist will restore stock rom and flash the kernel....

Thanks bro
[HTC Sensation] kraven0731:
what is the best kernel to be flashed on a stock rom? I only want the triple swap (turbo boost) mod as they said that stock kernel don't support swap.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Try n find out yourself. I'm using Bricked right now, but have always been loving Sultan's work, but don't know why it gives me random reboots on almost all Sense ROMs while unlocking the screen!

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
also try sebastianfm 's kernel which is based on htc's source code or

PYD-X kernel which is based on sebastinafm's kernel;)
[HTC Sensation] kraven0731:
if i flashed a custom kernel in my stock rom and there are issues, can i restore my stock kernel using the backup i made using the 4ext recovery?
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Yes, if you made a nandroid backup then it will restore the original kernel, or you can just flash the original kernel.zip from recovery to get that kernel back.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] kraven0731:
Where can i find the kernel.zip? i just backup my current stock ROM using 4ext backup.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
You can find the kernel.zip wherever you downloaded from the internet. Just download the custom kernel and flash it via recovery.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] kraven0731:
Tnx. Can i flashed a custom kernel even my phone is rooted but S-ON?
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
You just need to have your bootloader unlocked, then using 4EXT recovery enable smartflash under advanced options, and then immediately flash the ROM/kernel.

I have just upgraded to Rom 4.01.00 and as it is a T-Mobile rom I want to get rid of the programs that are provided by T-Mobile so it looks like a normal Rom. I remember reading somewhere before how to do this but now can not find the message, can anyone help me on how to do it or tell me where the post is that explains it.

Regards Seal.....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Toshiro:
hi seal,

can you share with us the 4.01.00 rom?

let me try it and i'll try to remove the programs, i'll let you know the result

thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Ok to remove those T-Mobile apps goto Start, Settings, Today, Items and uncheck "T-Mobile" that does it for the Today plug-in.

Now for the System Tray apps. use File Explorer and go to the \Windows\Startup folder and delete Battery Monitor.lnk.

BTW and if you're not under some type of NDA how about sending the old Qman a PM on how one can obtain a copy of these latest ROM.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] seal:

This Simple Mod Will Add "On and Off" Text To The Thumb Switches on the Stock Samsung SGS2 Rom.

This only changes png files, it does not change any xml files.

It adds English "On and Off" text only

It will not add any other language

A Restore zip is included to restore original thumb switches

The attached screenshots show original stock thumb switches, and stock thumb switches with "On and Off Text"

The zip files are VR Theme Flasher zips so flash with CWM

Friends, Will be updating this thread with drop and shock tests of the HTC ONE.

Here is one of the good ones I found, and if you come across more, please do mention them and I will add them into the OP for sure

[YOUTUBE]KwE9PGDnlvs[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
damn that bloody glued speaker cover

most stupid idea ever

at least provide a way to clip it back in!

the One X in this test would have only lost its screen...

but yea this video confirms the back cover + frame are unibody....

they dented together bent together and never seperated
[One (M7) General] mang0:
Oh man, I can see that speaker grille getting super annoying in future carelessness. Not looking forward to that! :(
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
here we can see the unibody back + plastic frame, they sustained the damage together and only in the extreme point of impact do we see slight seperation

the ground it fell on is really rough

still the front glued covers are absurdly stupid!

MAD at Speaker Covers

My One X and Desire HD surived very simliar falls without ever a flying part, not even the Desire HD plastic patches did ever fly (they snap in and not glued)!

but when i saw Jonas phone i was really worried this would happen and yup it does!

stupid glues should be banned from phone assmebly!
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Is there a blog that would do the drop tests in at least a little bit scientific way? Because you can drop a phone 10 times on its back and nothing will happen but you need just one drop on the face to shatter the screen...
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Screen looked fine but the dents were pretty bad.

At least on first drop the screen never cracked like the iPhone.

Deffo getting a cover! lol
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
nothing wrong with breaking or dents the ground its falling on is really rough

the one and only problem is the flying speaker covers :mad:
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
ERE! One thing I can't get my head around is how Nokia managed to construct the Lumia 920 to somehow withstand being launched about 20 meters through the air without breaking (and yes I know it's more of a lump) but how has no other manufacturer managed to emulate such tank like design?? Surely it can't simply be packing I mean the weight difference between the 920 (185g) and the One (143g) is really not that great a difference.....it's about the same as one of those little boxes of raisins.....And I can't see that being a defining difference between being damaged from hip height to being damaged from a throw.....Anyone think of how/why this is?
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Nothing that a drop of superglue won't fix, so it's bad but not critically bad I'd say.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
I assume you're looking for how many times a phone will land on its face out of the number of times dropped? A scientific test would require repetition, which I don't think any blog has the resources to do. Plus, when it comes down to it, you can't control how you drop your phone. I think it's enough to know that a full-on frontal drop will result in a cracked screen.
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Soooo my concern is this.

Do you think even if we don't drop, this adhesive can go off in time? I mean can it fall by itself in time?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
the One X and Desire HD are tank like as well, in case of the One X there are no covers, its

full

unibody as well, screen protected by metal frame
[One (M7) General] mikbe:
Note to self: Do not drop it. EVER.
[One (M7) General] KidCarter93:
These pics and videos of the damaged One are breaking my heart :(

Sent via my HTC One using XDA Premium
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Oh yes no doubting that the DHD is a tank, mine has been more then abused and laughed it off for the most part....Though not sure if you've seen the dop test of the Lumia 920. The bloke hits it across a car-park (or something) with a bit of wood and it doesn't brake. Some of the hits the phone takes would literally obliterate most others and he has to throw it full pelt, screen first in to a concrete pillar to break the screen lol.. I've literally not seen anything like it from a phone before. I'd love to know how they managed to make it quite so strong.....

(here's the link to show you if you've not seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3c8il_Q6SU .....and no I'm not bigging up the 920, I know it's a good phone but it has far more flaws than the One.....I'm just referring to it in regards to its construction)
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
actually i'm really pissed

and if this speaker cover bull**** is not improved in later batches, i might reconsider...first time ever i see on an HTC

and i meant One X, One S, One V, 8x, Explorer, Sensation, Evo 3D, Sensation XL, Desire HD, Desire, Nexus One, HD2

non of them had easily flying covers!
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
these drop tests were quite brutal , usually no one drops them like this and on concrete thrice.. but i think the phone is quite good still in terms of what really happened to it..

my heart was pumping when the one was being dropped, such a gorgeous device!
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
I instantly remembered Lumia920 drop test. They were unable to shatter the screen like that. Lumia is using Gorilla2 as well. Why the big difference?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It wont be improved unless they got some amazing glue. An impact like that will cause it to bend and fly off. Waiting for later batches wont improve that.
[One (M7) General] nebsif:
I never understood that.

People buying a phone because its aluminium and its oh so pretty and not plastic, and then put it in a (plastic) case which makes the whole thing look like a toy in a condom so it wont dent.
[One (M7) General] llothar:
I am looking for something similar to car crash tests. Sure - every car accident is different, but at least benchmark is the same. Also note that car manufacturers also want to limit number of crash tests and the final model usually gets just one crash test. I am thinking something like dropping a phone from 1.5 meters when the phone is vertical (or tilted 45 degrees on all 3 rotation axis).

This will at least say something. Right now they are destroying the phones in random ways...
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
It's definitely not a good thing. I am a full on dropper...My DHD has been dropped, thrown, in the loo, the lot...Still working (slightly bent body, minus volume rocker and with elec tape holding the battery cover on) but still completely functional!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Wow the Lumia is a beast!

Nokia always had the best construction for phones.

Well if its going break like that when I drop it then I have no choice!
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Gorilla Glass2 prevent stratching not breaking. Nokia wanted thicker glass than other brands so it is more durable.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
no your are wrong, the glue will definitely be changed (already discussed with HTC)

but this is not what i really want, i want them to add clips to the covers as well

as for later wont improve anything, you obviously don't know about the One X...
[One (M7) General] joshoon:
I don't think ur right there.

I've seen enough videos that the manufacturers of Gorilla Glass were showing off the huge weight that the glass could stand.

And yea I mean it's not dropping, but why would anyone put a huge weight on his phone?

A drop is actually a high weight that lands on the screen in just a millisecond.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
guys gorilla glass 2 can only do so much

it did not fall on marble, both phones fell on very rugged terrain

unless you think its made of diamonds it will always break
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
If they announce Butterfly 2 before HTC One is released, I'll just wait for that and get that. I think I prefer sturdiness over aluminium.
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Lol true , anyways most of the ppl will use 1 of the 2 cases with 1 that HTC offers and i'm 99% sure One wont break with those 2 no matter how you drop it , i prefer my phone without a case so i can feel the real thing like with one x who drop way too many times on rough surfaces tho none scratch either on screen or body , as for HTC One looks like i was right regarding speaker covers , anyway not an issue , seams like it's easy fixable, if it ever fell of i'll simply buy some glue and glue it back , tho this time i'll actually for the 1st time use the flip case for One so i don't care even if it drops , seams sturdy and strong to me , not strong as One X but good enough. The disappointment for me is the speaker size , when you take a look at speaker cover looks like the speaker is huge , but seams it's actually just small or normal ... I guess perfect OEM will never exist , or at least not perfect as how we would want it to be.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Oh I wasn't aware of the glue my bad :) I still think there will be some chance of it coming off especially if its a bad fall clips would be nice also. I had a one x for ages and I'm aware of the fixes they did internally for that.
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
Well at least the screen didn't break on the HTC One, so that is a big plus. Sucks about the speaker grille, but seems easy enough to fix.

Sent from a galaxy far away!
[One (M7) General] pack21:
I'm shocked.

Now, ONE only keep in my options if drop to an irresistible price.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
In all honesty with a real life experience on the past. I prefer the glued speaker over a clipped one. I had an experience once where I dropped my phone and got broken. Worst is I can't put the battery back cover since the clips broke when it was forcefully snapped off the body when it fall. So what I did was wrapped it with scotch tape for the rest of its life lol! But the cover is still bad since a part of the cover snapped off with the clip.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yea ive calmed down but its still a major blow to the famous durability we are so used to from HTC
