[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:

[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:

[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
these are the screenshot on my pc of cmd and the phone

sorry here
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
also when i type fastboot getvar all this is the screenshot of what i got
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
here is how to unlock and s-off your device http://revolutionary.io/

here is little guide http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-soff-htc-sensation-with-revolutionary-guide/

Btw why do you want to unlock you bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
i want to install custom roms i thought maybe its part of the procedure
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
Yes it is, do the steps in the pages :)
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
thank you very much your method worked. now do i continue to upgrade the hboot in the normal way or ??
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
if you s-off your device, now you need to flash 3.33 universal firmware , here is a guide from that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 read the steps carefull and check md5 sum important , after that you'll need to flash recovery 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC1 via fastboot.. and after that you'll be able to flash custom roms :)

(btw do you have fastboot and adb files)?

EDIT1: if you have adb and fastboot here is the recovery you need to flash https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a2o89surz0h7hj/4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.zip this is the lattest and here is guide how to flash it after upgrading you firmware , just step 2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 and you are done after that choose what rom you want transfer to you sd card , before flashing format all paticion except sd card and flash the rom you want :)
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
sorry for being a noob but i was so excited after it was s off i flashed hboot 1.27 without getting super cid or unlocking with htcdev tools. so now i have managed to install super cid and but it is in a boot loop. this is the screen shot of what it looks like now
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you have bootloop because your rom is gingerbread and now you have ics firmware

just flash an ics or jb rom from recovery

make a nandroid first just in case

by the way what firmware did you use because i see you have the official hboot version

did you use the one from the link that Mile_zdr provided you?
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
i got the hboot from htc.vi8.info and i just tried flashing viper s 5.1.0 but it just got stuck in the middle. what about the locked bootloader which is refusing to unlock
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
since you are on S-OFF you don't need to unlock the bootloader

but if you flash the 3.33 universal firmware that Mile_zdr told you you will have also a patched hboot which is unlocked:)

follow the instructions to the letter

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

what recovery do you have?
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
i managed to install clockwork recover 6.0.0.0:(:(
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
flash 4ext recovery

see here(only step 2)

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

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

then flash viper rom
[HTC Sensation] v.konvict:
thank you very much. next time i will be calm until actually finished. its now working. Be blessed you have saved me.:victory::victory::victory:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] small-mallet:
No such replacements that I know of, physical damage is never covered under warranty. As they are already quoting a price for that, you don't have any choice. In the beginnin, they might replace phones due to no parts availability but I highly doubt that is going to happen here. You can try calling other service centers though i highly doubt they would do anything about it.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
So I see that Sense 6 has themes...but a very limited amount of them (4). This wouldn't be so bad, but the themes provided consist of a purple/blue one, an orange/red one, and two that use like a mintish green for their primary colors. Ick.

Just curious if anybody has isolated where in the system these are kept yet. I've poked around with root explorer, but have yet to grab the full system dump and go through it proper-like. I'd really like to find where these are kept so I can go about making something of the holo variety. That, plus google home launcher and a modded helvetica font would make for a very elegant looking UI.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fronc:
This is something I'm hoping for too. Very weak selection of themes out of the box.

You realize that the last response is over a year and a half old? Some partitions do contain some personal info,so its unlikely that you'll get much help without some explanation of who you are and what you're doing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genious_t:
Actually i have M8 rural area CDMA variant CID LRA__001 s-off using it outside US on a GSM network

I've ruined it by flashing wrong firmware/radio and even hboot (I didn't know it's CDMA )

Contacted HTCDev they provided me complete zip file to flash via hboot, that didn't help much, I can boot into system, everything is working including WiFi and Bluetooth but cellular network. Figured out that settings > about doesn't show IMEI and baseband, getvar all is showing them fine. its almost a month that my device has become just a tablet.

Searched and studied a lot and figured out that they are stored in mmcblk0p3, dumped it and dropped into hex editor and I see my IMEI there, image size is about 16k but only few 100 bytes in the beginning has data rest is all zeros.

Just wanted to match if other devices have same zeros all over or I've accidentally erased my partition. I wish I could find the dump of same variant so I could just replace the IMEI with my own and flash it back.

Not really sure if this is gonna help much or the kernel is not communicating to the correct addresses to read this info.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koloben:
Hi.

I develop an exploit for a public vulnerability. When executing in kernel mode I have to locate task_struct and cred struct and modify user ids. I take pointer to thread_info from stack, then extract pointer to task_struct, search task_struct for process name (comm field). There should be cred struct pointer before the field.

Code:

int f() //executed in kernel mode
{
unsigned int *p;
unsigned int *p3; //struct task_struct
unsigned int *cred; //struct cred
char *pc1, *pc2;
int i;

register unsigned long sp asm ("sp");

p = sp;
p = (int)p & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1); //p points to thread_info

initial = p;

p3 = (int *)(p[3]);

task = p3; //p3 points to task_struct

state = task[0];
stack = task[1];
flags = task[3];

pc2 = (char *)p3 + 2056;
pc1 = (char *)p3 + 8;

//Now scan task_struct for comm field

for (; pc1 != pc2;)
{
if (pc1[0] == 'N' && pc1[1] == 'a' && pc1[2] == 'm' && pc1[3] == 'e')
{
pc2 = pc1;
break;
}

pc1++;
}

if (pc1 != pc2)
{
return -2;
}

cred = *(int **)(pc1 - 8); //cred points to struct cred now
...
}

The problem is that assumed cred pointer points to some strange structre. It contains uid but doesn't contain cred's magic and so on. Printing a few dword from cred pointer I see: 7, 7d0, 7d0, 7d0, 7d0, 0, 0. 0x7D0 is uid of the current process. I also dumped the task struct and it looks legit:

It was iffy on 7.0, but on iOS 7.1 it hasn't failed on me once. I always keep my hands clean, so that could make a difference. You've got to set it up properly and once you do that it's good. I bet your friends either hadn't set it up properly or weren't on 7.1.

The fingerprint scanner is built into the home button, and screen protectors don't cover the home button. Unless you're planning on putting a protector of some sort on the home button itself, a screen protector shouldn't interfere at all.

What you see on the screen above the fingerprint scanner is just a guide as to where you should swipe your finger down across the home button from.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jayantbh:
Hi!

So as the question might have made it clear, I dropped my grand and cracked the screen.

Details:

Got a hairline crack on the screen on the bottom right part, about 2 inches in total length. Touch and visuals still perfectly normal. But the glass needs to be changed anyways.

The Questions:

How much would it cost to get it changed from the Samsung Care centers?

And since i've never EVER had to send a phone to service centers, how much time would it take to get it fixed?

Also, will the replaced glass quality be the same? Is there any difference in anything after the repair? Anything at all?

And is it advisable to get it repaired locally?

Also, is it possible to get it fixed by myself? Yeah i've read a lot of DIY tutorials, but they seem risky, especially that i've never done it before.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kishan14:
i would suggest you to sell your grand after changing the screen..

your answers

A1. Dont know. you may get idea on net

A2. depends on your service center.

A3. the quality will be low as compared to you use right now.

A4. if your local vendor knows you personally then only its advisable .

A5. yea its easy... but take all precautions.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jayantbh:
Quality will be low, but could you explain in what sense?

Like, how?

Rougher touch?

Not as good display? Even then, what would be bad in there? Something wrong with the color?

Just want to know what quality are you specifying.
