[HTC Sensation] WasifSal:
Hey guys! My friend recently bought a Sensation XE 2nd hand... It had its. Official firmware of 2.3.5 Gingerbread.. I noticed it was. S-OFF.. But no recovery (got the download and phone icon only when i got there).

The bootloader is LOCKED.

It had its. HBOOT as 1.18.0(something - i dnt remember but 1.18 is confirmed). Yes it was "pyramid".

I wanna know if I can flash roms in it? And if. So. Please answer these:

1. How can i flash the recovery? Seeing its S-OFF and all.. Is there an app to flash? And also the recommended RECOVERY for that purpose.

2. Can i flash ROMs on it after doing the recovery? Since its S-OFFed and all.

3. Also will it run into trouble seeing the Hboot no. Is too old.

4. It's a T-Mobile branded phone so keep that in mind.

Thanks alot :) please help me out in this :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you want to flash an ics or jb rom first you have to flash 3.33 universal firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

follow the instructions to the letter

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

then from this guide follow only step 2

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

then from 4ext recovery flash whatever rom you want
[HTC Sensation] WasifSal:
Oh ok this seems easy... I'll give it a go and report back... Thanks.. And yeah

I will check the md5 sum :)
[HTC Sensation] WasifSal:
I didn't got my hands on the device just yet. Was wanting to ask that the phone definitely is on the Hboot version 1.18.xxxx... Is it too low of the model number? And flashing a JB ROM after what rzr86 said to a GB phone.. Won't it cause compatibility issues? Please have a minute to reply me :)
[HTC Sensation] yasir4abbas:
Just follow rzr86 and the ROM will work there will be no compatibility problem...just remember to change firmware to 3.33 that is important.

Can someone help me get into bootloader? I was able to get into it perfectly fine up until the point where I followed efrant steps to do a factory reset and I flashed TWRP 2.6.1.0 now, I can't even get into the bootloader holding the down volume key and power key
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
can u get into recovery?if not does the phone even turns on?if u can get into recovery just do "adb reboot bootloader"(this work also while android is running/booting).

After a few attempts (as in more than 10) it finally managed to boot into bootloader.

Thanks for helping out :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texaslittleangel:
yup :(

I think i could have pulled out the file I needed had I read yesterday afternoon about Wugs' tool. It says it can pull files (having the phone with debugging on, which I did).... You live you learn :(

can anyone help me I want to root my HTC desire X but I don't know weather it is worth it or not I know how to root it but I don't know what ROM to use I know I need a stable one but how do I know if it is stable also should I use a custom kernel and if so how do I install it and one last question should I use CWM recovery or TWRP. thank you if you can help me and if im in the wrong place can you tell me wear to go and again thank you if you can help me.
[HTC Desire X] samarth sathe:
If you are interested in custom roms and kernals you should probably root your DX...

There are threads which will explain you each and every detail about custom roms and kernals..... You can make the phone look the way you want...;)

If you root your DX i recommend you to use TWRP its stable and easy to use! Thays what i found:)

And yeah dont forget to hit the thanks button:D
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Just don't start another ROM comparison thread as we already got a few of them here. I recommend you to start reading in Android Development section, it'll be self explanatory. If not and if you have particular question to a specific ROM, you can ask there or here if you are not allowed to ask there yet.
[HTC Desire X] prizinor0:
how do i unroot my desire X

Any help would be apresiated I know how to root it but I would like to know how to unroot it and in what senario would I need to unroot and relock the bootloader and flash the stock ROM ruu. Again any help would be helpful I am new to rooting and I just want to know what I'm doing before I void the waranty on my device thank you.
[HTC Desire X] zanatron:
Hi it depends on what are u using ur mobile for if u want.I had the interest to try diferents ROMs that why I've rooted my phone and install many ROMs. many of them half-bricked my phone but allways i found the way to fix that just looking in this forums.I strongly recommend u to root it.Doing so u will have a large amount of new possibilities like removing system apps.

About Recoveries I use TWRP after testin CWM and i prefer TWRP its easyest to use anda it has another option that CWM doesn't have.

I hope I help u good luck with your choice and have fun with ur phone :)

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

Well this is not an easy question to answer,Rooting our device is really easy but to unroot im using the Desire x toolkit posted in developers forum it has the option to lock the bootloader to unroot the phone.About the stock ROM i recommend to do a backup of it doing a factory reset.I recommend also to save the backup in an external memory like personal hard disck device or a pendrive.U will have the option to recovery it later if u want,u can also look for STOCK ROMs ruu looking to ur CID that could be taken using the toolkit i mentioned before.

good luck guy! :)
[HTC Desire X] prizinor0:
help with chosing ROM and toolkit

I was going to use the windroid desire X root kit is that a bad idea and iv chosen to use TWRP recovery but is there any stable ROMs you can recomend and again any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Desire X] samarth sathe:
Even i am new to this rooting stuff...;)

But i am enjoing a lot! Flashing new kernals roms is fun but at the same time we have the risk of phone brick...

But never mind we have all the answers right here...:D
[HTC Desire X] zanatron:
there are many ROMs in developer forum i dont know if recomending a ROM is forbiden here but i will tell you that there are many different type of ROMs u must look each roms features and decide which one to flash i personally have tried nearly every rom in developer forum and the best rom right now is the Insert Coin in my opinion.

On the google search bar or the google now bar. I can enter text but not able to use the enter key aka (search key) the text to search. Anyone have this issue as well?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknozeus:
I think I have a similar issue. I am able to search after a reboot but after a while it stops working. I think there is a problem with cached processes. Try going to settings > apps > cached processes and stopping the Google Search process. Things should start working. It's not an ideal fix though. Hopefully it's a fixable software bug. I've submitted a bug report to Google so maybe you should try as well?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXghostXx313:
Thanks for the reply. Your solution actually works and hopefully this gets fix.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknozeus:
No problem. As I said, it's not an ideal issue but neither is it a total deal breaker. I wouldn't RMA the phone for such I thing I don't think. It obviously seems like a software problem so I sent through a bug report using the feedback function on the phone itself. Maybe if it's a widespread thing Google can actually take an active look at it and release a fix. to my unqualified mind it seems like there is a problem putting apps into the cached process. I've noticed with more experimenting that the search function seems to stop only after swiping the app away from the multi tasking tray...Seems as though the system is having trouble storing Google Search in cached processes.

Of course, I am not a proper developer so I could be totally wrong. :)

I'm glad the temporary fix works for you also!

Hi guys...

Instructions:

Download framework-res.apk

Copy file to system

Change permissions to 0644

Move file to framework folder and say "yes" to overwrite.

Restart

Coming soon

Few more MODs - light theme

Hi guys

As I really don't have free time I made few more framework MODs based on light theme.

As soon as I find some free time I'll MOD our framework to use dark theme and will use some dark backgrounds...

3D swirl

DOWNLOAD 3D SWIRL

White dolphin

DOWNLOAD WHITE DOLPHIN

Blue line

DOWNLOAD BLUE LINE

As I said - these are just simple MODs, only with changed background pictures.

When I catch some time I'll MOD blue to blue and dark to dark.

This one is the best to use with [MENTION=4485973]xXWeresXx[/MENTION] dark apps - it should look very good ;)

DIRTY DARK

It looks ugly but as I said - use this one with [MENTION=4485973]xXWeresXx[/MENTION] dark apps (he MOD apps one by one) and it will look great and your fonts should be white

DOWNLOAD DIRTY DARK

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
quick TUTORIAL

As I promised....

It's very simple to do this.

Copy framework-res.apk to your PC

Open it with WinZip and go to folder xxhdpi. (res/drawable-xxhdpi)

You'll find there two pngs (pictures) with a name semc_bg_light.png and semc_bg.xml.

Semc_bg_light.png is for light theme and the other one is for dark theme...but this isn't important now.

Now you need to download or create one png and rename or name it to semc_bg_light.png

On our Z1 we are using light MOD, so the png we need to change is semc_bg_light.png.

Now, take your png (that you created), check once again it has right name and copy it (with WinZip) to folder res/drawable-xxhdpi (in your framework-res.apk apk).

You'll get window opened with a few questions.

Don't change anything except "compression method"!

Set that to "store"

Copy your framework-res.apk back to your phone.

Copy it to system.

Change permissions to 0644.

Move framework-res.apk to framework folder (system/framework)

Open your settings, calls, email or SMS app and enjoy your new design ;)

Next TUTORIAL

How to MOD any apk file using just your phone :)

See ya guys...

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
Then I'll have to fix style.xml to show white fonts.

If someone has time to do that - fell free to do ;) [MENTION=4485973]xXWeresXx[/MENTION] - you could do that ;)

Very nice bro. Thanks for quick TUTORIAL.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
The thing is...

Every app use some info from framework but some info are still coming from style.xml and layout.xml from every app itself.

So I have to edit every app individually and, of course, framework.

That's not easy or quick job but I will try to edit and build perfect framework and with [MENTION=4485973]xXWeresXx[/MENTION] dark apps we'll have great user experience ;)

Used 7-zip myself to drag n drop and it seems to work just fine (simply created an all black png, saves about 1 MB as well :P ). Thinking about changing other png's too, but as I'm lazy I'll wait with that a bit...
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Rohit@91:
Please make it for Xperia L.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] funky0308:
I really doubt you can't use this on Xperia L...

It should be similar or even same on all Xperia.

You just have to change folder you are working in...

For example for Xperia S is xhdpi, for Xperia Z1 is xxhdpi and so on... ;)

But procedure is same - it's all Sony UI.

Anyway thanks for the info. Will strongly consider this if I should find myself in need of a longer life. Course carrying a second battery isn't that big a deal, I do for backup. Fits nicely in my jacket pocket that fit my old feature phone... :) Don't even notice it.

Hi

I have some issues with the WiFi.

Sometimes, when I try to use any app that requires Internet connection it doesn't work despite of being connected with 100% signal.

I have the WiFi optimization off and it doesn't solve the problem.

Is a very annoying problem because every time that this happens I must turn off the WiFi.

Is not a problem of my connection because it doesn't happen in my PC and neither in my Nexus 7 FHD.

My router is a Tp-Link Tl-WR1043ND and I tried numerous options but it doesn't fix it.

I have a D-Link 855 and had the issue where the Wifi shows connected but no data transfers. I simply updated the router FW and have never had this problem again. Connects on 5Ghz, maintains connection, transfers data reliably.

Regardless of the router type you have, try updating the FW before you do anything else to your phone.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm having the same issue that you've described now.

Sadly I've already the last version of my router firmware. I'm emailing with the TP-Link support team looking for a solution, but we can't find nothing yet.

Do you know the changelog of your router firmware update? If I now maybe I can write to the support team again with a possible solution.
