No I don't think that's it either. It must have been the firmwares for my old MyTouch 4G that had recovery included. Like I said, it's been a while.

Just see the 4EXT recovery thread AndroidSupporter posted earlier. It has the recovery download links.
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Ok that thread says things such a cid do what is that ? , it also says check md5 what is that ?

Thanks guys !
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Which version

I also dont understand which version is right for my phone , some one said 3.33 but which 3.33 there are two packs?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The CID is how HTC locks down the phone so it can only get the updates that they want your phone to get. Each region and carrier has different CIDs, so you can't use a Europe firmware or official ROM on an America phone. Each firmware file contains a list of the CIDs it will install on. If your CID isn't on the list it won't install. But there is a super CID as well that is like a master key. With the superCID on your phone all firmware packages will install.

Read this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

See Step 4 to get Super CID. It's insanely simple as long as you have ADB installed.

Also the 3.33 firmware package may already include your CID. If it does you don't need to get Super CID. But it's easy, so why not?

An MD5 is a code that is generated that shows if 2 files match. If they match, the codes will be the same. If they don't, the files are different. With Firmware, ANY variation in the file can brick your phone. So you ALWAYS want to check to make sure the MD5 of the firmware file you downlaoded matches what it's supposed to be. That's why Kohr-Ah has the MD5 written under each download link.

First link at the top. It's the only 3.33 firmware there for download. (The one at the bottom is just the same file from a different download location)

Here is the same thing cut and pasted from that post. This is what you want.

Firmware 3.33 Universal:

DOWNLOAD:http://d-h.st/SuC

MD5: 07cc2a2ea4473e8fe8d6fe844c4020a1

Just put it on the root directory of the SD Card (don't put it in a folder) and boot into recovery. See if that works. If it doesn't then you have to Super CID. If it works, great. You're done. Flash recovery next.
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Md5

You said md5 has to match but what does it have to match with ? a firmware already on my mobile ?
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Supercid

You were talking about SuperCid , basically can i use the kgs utility to write super Cid and all i have to do is open up Kgs and click on write ?

Anouther thing can i write super cid before flashing that firmware update and before rooting?
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Ok so i have done it !

Thanks alot mate ! you guys are helping me do things i would have never imagined of doing myself.

1 thing though when i flashed that zip the screen didn't go black which got me worried but it seems to be working fine!

When i booted back into boot loader it did say firmware 3.33 at the top instead of locked which i take as a good sign?

What would be my next steps? and can i use kgs utility to s-off?

Thanks again ( I would thank you by clicking on the thanks button but i have already thanked more than 7 times today :silly:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You said you already got s off doing the wire trick.

Now you need to install recovery. With recovery you can then change roms, or just root the stock one (but dont do that. That is lame)
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Ok so how do I install a recovery and can I root the stock Rom and then flash a new Rom as then if I choose to go back I have root. Also I thought I needed root to use the recovery and toms.
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Sorry not s-ff lol Silly me ! I meant supercid

Sorry , i didnt mean s-off , i meant can i use kgs utility for supercid.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
only step 2 from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

after that from recovery flash this to get root

http://download.chainfire.eu/324/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Step 2

Step 2 says something about ADB and i think i have set it up correctly but i am not sure , also in the thread you provided it says all of the objects you need however in my folder i dont have unlock.code.bin.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
forget other steps

do only step 2.nothing else

if you have already installed adb and fastboot files then proceed what says in step 2;)
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Recovery flashed!

Ok so the recovery has been flashed successfully , now when i loaded into recovery it told me to set it up with the 4ext app ? what is this ?

Also 1 more thing , do i have to check md5 sum for that super user and do i just install zip from sd card in 4ext.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i don't remember if it asked me the same thing when i installed it

nevermind

just to be sure check md5 if you want

in any case it won't brick the device

edit: probably it means to set it up with 4ext udater or 4ext recovery control
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Ok so what's the original md5 that I need to compare it with.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
from the download link

you will see it there

then do the match:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Nope its not written on the download page . Would you mind posting it on here if you find it please .

Thanks !
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeap you have right

but i don't know how to find it:(

but you can flash it safely

i have sent that link to many users

me myself too i used to use that zip

if you check the content of the zip you will see the superuser.apk
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Thanks !

Hey thanks all of the users that have helped me out ! , You guys are fantastic!

I now have a HTC sensation , s off (Wire trick no htc dev ) and a new upgrade 3.33 and a new recovery + ROOT!

Now what rom do you guys think i should use and how should i do it ?

Also do i need to check anything like md5 or Cid ?

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
cid doesn't matter for flashing custom roms

check some of them and see what suits best for you

you can flash it in the same way as you flashed the supersu.zip(from recovery)

but before flashing rom

1)make a nandroid backup from recovery just in case

2)format all partitions except sdcard from recovery

3)flash the rom

4)done:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Glad it worked for you, buddy
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Thanks , if you guys were not there i probably would have a brick.

Hey , so i want to install vipers_1.6.3 rom

I have wiped dalvik cache and cache and i have factory data reset is there anything else needed ?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
In 4ext recovery first make a backup of your current rom. I cannot stress this enough.

Then wipe all partitions except sd card. There is a one button option for that. Wiping any less than everything whne switching roms will cause problems.
[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
Thanks load guys!

Ok , thanks alot guys everythings setup and ready .

I just have to day if it wasnt for you guys i would never have got it completed :victory:

I have only 1 more question , how do i edit my signature so that i can use one of venoms cool sigpictures?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Top of the screen, under your name, click on Control Panel. Look in there.
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Glad everything's working out:)

By the way, I have a question about firmware... Is the only difference between 3.32 tmous and 3.33 universal the radio? Or is there something else that's drastically different?

Also, those two firmwares don't have to do with WiFi at all, do they? My WiFi tends to be a little slow on both firmwares...

[HTC Sensation] Heloooo:
If that question is to me , I have no idea what so ever as i dont evan know why i used this firmware . Thanks to you guys i got through it without any hiccups at all!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
The radio is the only difference, and its not a huge difference.

I'm waiting for them to release Ferrari Red Carbon Fiber and ordering a custom. Actually been waiting forever for them to finish on the One. They had problems with the HTC tolerances. No other skin company can top dbrand's precision and quality. If you order a custom from them you can request a drawing and they'll mail a sketch to you too lol.

yeah dbrand skins are top notch.

I'll be ordering a 2tone blk/red leather custom with my GI Joe cobra logo. ;)

I prefer icarbons.com for these types of skins. They actually offer front back and side covers for our phones. Plus the quality is superb. Currently have one on my iPhone 5 that has lasted me 8 months and no signs of failing. Just ordered one for my Htc one.

iCarbons is good, but unfortunately they don't have leather look vinyl nor do they take custom orders. I do like that they allow you to order the accent pieces seperately tho.

I had a dbrands skins on my N4, cut/fit/alignment was perfect. I now have a iCarbons on my One, fitment is just ok. I could not get the HTC logo and the camera/flash cutouts to line up perfectly. I ended up sacrificing camera/flash alignment for better logo alignment. On a TMo One.
[One (M7) Accessories] deeevan:
I assume it wasn't enough to cause flaring in flash photos? I can't remember whether it was the dbrands or iCarbons developer that was complaining about wandering HTC logo placement across different phones.

Custom designs are priced on a per design basis. I'm still waiting to hear back on the total pricing and estimated completion timetable. Ill post the price I'm quoted at one it has been determined so others can get a rough idea of costs. All custom order requests should be sent to customs@dbrand.com

the design was made with gimp using the photos they had up on their website for the device and materials. I'll gladly upload an xfc or psd file if anyone wants to come up with their own design to submit.

[One (M7) Accessories] Crowned-star:
I've received a email, the custom skin will cost 75$ which includes 2 layer of back skins for 10$ each, the top and bottom for 5$ each and the 15 $ per hour for the work of 3 hours. Seems pretty reasonable if you ask me, i'll order it around next week and let you know
[One (M7) Accessories] msgnyc:
Update. As above. My skins running me for $75.

For those that may wonder why they are so expensive, here an email detailing the breakdown.
[One (M7) Accessories] PcFish:
Mine was $65. Ferrari Red Carbon Fiber and Gold Titanium Spider-Man Iron Spider logo ftw. On my Nexus 4 I ordered one that was around $50. I'm thinking of getting wood texture for my next custom. This with the Red DevilCase will look sexy.

You can actually ask them to make a doodle for you too lol. If you look on their fb they show the sketches they've done for people.

If u want to cover the sides, icarbons sells the side pieces separately since these and the dbrands only cover the front and back.

Haha. :D Just messing with you. Looks great.
[One (M7) Accessories] tjy8tim:
i've never used these kind of skins. can you guys educate me on how easy it is to remove these skins? does it leave a sticky stuff that's hard to clean off? thanks.

[One (M7) Accessories] Luke-b:
These cases look awesome. Easy to apply? Dust much of a problem?
[One (M7) Accessories] deviusdragger:
They easily come off and not leave any residue, I installed the icarbons on mine and love it. They also offer the side covers which will help with keeping the white casing white.
[One (M7) Accessories] DomSim:
Is this actually a dbrand skin? Reason I ask is because the HTC logo is visible on yours. In the original renders they were shown as cutout but because of discrepancies of the position of the logo dbrand decided to leave it covered and has since updated their site to reflect this. I asked them specifically about this on Facebook and they confirmed their skins will cover the logo.
[One (M7) Accessories] jmerlos:
No I bought it from Ebay from this link.

you can see on the "C" a slight miss fitment that prevented dbrand from doing the cutouts. Can't decide if I would rater have the logo cutout sligtly off but still visible or not. Guess my mind will be made up wen my dbrand ones arrive.
[One (M7) Accessories] PcFish:
Yes, I have an icarbon, and it's all sorts of funky on the cutout, no matter how well I place it. Looks cheap.

Can't wait for my custom dbrand to come in.
[One (M7) Accessories] DomSim:
sounds like they made the right call leaving out the cutout.

When did you order? and if you're in canada and its been the 7th business day since they shipped it out for you i can assure you its in your mailbox!
[One (M7) Accessories] redneb420:
Initially I was skeptical of not having the HTC cut out on the back. But when I installed it I understood why DBrand didn't cut it out. It looks a lot more crisp without.

Actually forgot to include the front white pieces in my order since I was constantly clearing and trying out new colours. Props to DBrand for quickly responding to my email AND included the front for free!
[One (M7) Accessories] DomSim:
I ordered the day they were released but I'm not in Canada, I'm in Ohio. Hopefully in a day or two.
[One (M7) Accessories] sprke:
So trying to decide between the dBrand and iCarbon. I would prefer the dBrand but I like how iCarbon has the side pieces. Has anybody had problems with the white on the sides staining or showing wear? If it does stain does it come off? Another question if I put it on can I take it off and put it on another one or is it ruined after the first application?
[One (M7) Accessories] deviusdragger:
Once they are fully applied, they can not be reapplied. Also my icarbons skin has no weird angles or anything. Judge for yourselves! Looks so much better with the HTC cutout. Last pic is with the case I'm using.
[One (M7) Accessories] deviusdragger:
It did take some real patience to apply it. So be warned.
[One (M7) Accessories] Nickel Dime Bay:
What case is that?
[One (M7) Accessories] sprke:
Well thanks for making my decision all the harder..had kinda decided on dBrand but those photo's look pretty good :)
[One (M7) Accessories] deviusdragger:
Supcase, got it from amazon. I believe like 9 bucks.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Sorry :D , but without the HTC LOGO IT looks too plain. It is a pain to apply cause everything has to be lined up in the logo and top and bottom. But if you screw up,you can pull it and try again, I have 6 I carbon products on my macs and iPhones and ipads, I've never had a problem and their customer service is superb.
[One (M7) Accessories] DomSim:
Received my order today but they seemed to have goofed. I originally ordered the black titanium, when they offered a second skin free for the delay, I asked for black carbon fiber for the second one. Opened the envelope and they sent me two of each! I emailed them to see if they want the other set sent back though. Pics will follow probably later tonight of the black titanium.
[One (M7) Accessories] DomSim:
Here are pics of the black titanium. I'm no photographer, and apparently not very good at applying skins as I had a hell of a time with it, but I think it looks awesome.

http://imgur.com/a/wbglv
[One (M7) Accessories] reNeglect:
Nice stuff!

But yeah after a day of use the HTC logo itself on the phone is indented in right, so the skin can seeps into it and forms a HTC logo with the skin on top i can say its not very appealing...
[One (M7) Accessories] RaptorMD:
So the iCarbons have the HTC logo cut out then, which I do say looks very nice. I am trying to decide between Silver or Black on the H1, its really a PITA to decide.
[One (M7) Accessories] jon_htc:
I got the black titanium w/black leather mid-backing. Great quality. Protection without the bulk of a case

[One (M7) Accessories] rodcpierce:
Not so sure I like it without the HTC cutout. Got mine today and it was very easy to install. Fit is perfect. But would look better with the HTC cut out. I will say they included two sets though for the wait.
[One (M7) Accessories] deviusdragger:
Looks like you can see the C
[One (M7) Accessories] rodcpierce:
you are correct sir. The "C" is a slight bit raised while the "H" and "T" are flush or a little under. Another reason I think the "HTC" should have been cut out.

I had a white carbon fiber skin for the back of my Nexus 4 and loved it. Anyone who's looking to order this should go for it. You won't be disappointed. By the way, I think dbrand has a XDA account so you should direct them to this thread for any questions. Dbrandskins is the username.

They were working on this at 11PM-4AM their time and emailed me the photo an hour ago EST! Plus, including the red and gold, they're throwing in black CF for the back and front top/bottom pieces.

Slippery-ness factor?

Those pictures are amazing. I'd love to have that skin on mine.

Two questions:

1) How slippery is the skin? I do not want to use a bumper protector under any circumstances I am mainly getting the skin because my (silver) phone is scarily slippery.- But, if the skin will be slippery it defeats my purpose...

2) *If* it is slippery, what about a solid color... Red for example? :D

3) In your impression, what do you think would be the likehood of the skin lifting on one side if I don't use a bumper case?

I was planning to get a ZAGG for the rear, mainly because the one I have on my Tab is quite non-slippery, but they are no match for these...

Thanks all, happy 4th.
