[HTC Sensation] Jason2304:
Hello there :)

I received a new HTC Sensation as a gift, It was bought from Ebay. It came with Stock 2.3. I would like some help on how to root, install CWM/4EXT and install Sultanxda's CM11 ROM. I also like Viper Rom but we all know Kitkat is in a lot of ways better than JB. I have already read the guides in the Forums,but that didn't help me much. This is my first Android phone but not necessarily the first phone I flash a Custom Rom to. I have some experience with LG and Samsung phones, but those are easier. In few words, could someone please answer this questions?

1) Do I need to update to ICS to install CM11? Also, how do I install CWM/4EXT and Root the phone?

2) Do I lose my network connectivity? I mean, do I have to backup something like IMEI data or EFS Folder? I don't live in the US (sorry for my bad english) and the phone is unlocked, dunno if that matters.

3) This may sound silly and stupid, but can I live without Gapps? I don't really need them, I can just install another market. Gapps use too much resources and the only Google Apps that I MAY use are Youtube and Chrome Browser. Also, I need to sync contacts but I already exported as Vcard file. I do not need Google Play or the other Google Apps.

Thanks for your help and advice
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
To flash another rom you need to be s-off or to unlock your bootloader. I don't know exactly if you need to update to ICS, but I don't think so, it should be enough to update your firmware (as far as I know that's necessary). For kitkat roms you should use 4EXT.

You don't loose anything, but you can make a backup of your stock rom as it is with 4ext and save it to your computer.

Yes, you can live without gapps. You don't want them, don't flash them.
[HTC Sensation] Ajax1337:
To install a custom rom you need to do the following:

Get root access - go to htcdev.com select Sensation they will tell you what to do next

Install Custom Recovery - find an CWM TWRP or 4EXT image for Sensation here on XDA and flash it using fastboot

Get S-OFF - go to http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm they will also guide you trough the process ( the most fun ive had unlocking, its like a game)

Then you are ready to flash custom roms. As for CM11 our device isnt supported officially though there are great CM11 based roms for our device.

Installing rom is easy dont worry when you are done unlocking the phone i can explain that also. If you have any further questions regarding any of the above procedures ill try to help. Cheers
[HTC Sensation] Sajito:
S-OFF is kinda usefull, but not necessary.
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
I would suggest -

revolutionary to s-off (easiest way)

flash the 3.32 or 3.33 firmware (needed for latest roms)

flash 4ext recovery (latest is 1.0.0.6) i can post it if u cant find it in link below.

Then ul have full control of ur phone and u can flash any rom in recovery. Link below has all u need.

[HTC Sensation] Austerity Measures:
there's a guide somewheres, you don't have to s-off. I'm not even sure what the benefit of s-off is.
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
Yes u dont need to s-off but it has many benefits (google to find out for urself) but the main reason i suggest it too some users is because normally the people that ask how to do this and how to do that r usually the people that panic when something goes wrong then they automatically think they need to run a ruu then the ruu fails then they ask questions later when they stuck. So for me to suggest s-off is for one reason only, supercid.. then when they get stuck they can run any ruu and not worry. Anyway to s-off using revolutionary is faster than unlocking ur bootloader via htcdev, so why not? And ul have FULL control of ur phone.
[HTC Sensation] Ajax1337:
Revolutionary is an easier method than juopunutbear but the later editions of HTC Sensations (XE) are not supported. Mine came with HBoot 1.27 i think and maximum for the revolutionary is 1.18 (http://revolutionary.io/).

[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
New or second hand/used? Sensations came with stock android 2.3.x including the xe, with the option to upgrade to ICS. i have the XE and normal senny. the op of this thread says he has a sensation stock 2.3.x so he should be ok for revolutionary.
[HTC Sensation] Ajax1337:
It was new came with preinstalled ICS. I bought it late, a year and some time ago.
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
I think we should just all wait till the OP actually replies so we know for sure what his bootloader details are, all these links for different methods is just gona confuse the xxxx outa him.

Strange coz the ics upgrade was more a test than anything. Was there for users to install if they wanted it.
[HTC Sensation] Ajax1337:
Agreed on waiting...

Yea at some point in 2012 HTC stopped shipping Senny with Beats headphones (which i didnt care for anyway), then started shipping with stock ICS (http://www.phonearena.com/news/Whit...March-to-ship-with-Ice-Cream-Sandwich_id26512).
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
Cool, did not know that. Strange that they shipped it with ICS coz it was not very good, had bugs and alot of users had wifi issues. The ICS sense 3.6 roms here on xda r good but htc"s update wasnt.

Hi,

I have two questions:

Is there a way that I could run macros in pocket Excel?

My battery goes dead at 70% and I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

Macros in Pocket Excel

Unfortunately PocketExcel doesn;t support Macros.

Furthermore if you have a file sync'd with your Pc that has macros in, and you update it on your PPC - sync it again back to the PC, then the Macros have been removed .... good old M$

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NecroGi:
Hello,

First off, I've gone through the forums and I have looked up other posts and despite everything I cannot figure out how to get my nexus 7 tablet to be recognized by the computer (I tried and after two days of searching for answers I decided to make a post). I like to include this information so people don't assume that I post without browsing or haven't tried anything yet.

The thing that I am having troubles with is that I have a nexus 7 tablet that is softbricked, I have already gone through a lot of ways to fix that problem (I found the best solution is this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195). However, the issue is is that I cannot get my computer to recognize the nexus tablet to flash it and restore it back to factory settings.

I have installed and updated the device drivers on my computer, but still I have had no such luck. I found that ADB doesn't recognize the device whilst in the Bootloader, but still will not recognize the device in recovery mode. If anyone has any tips, or suggestions that might work PLEASE let me know, at this point I'm getting desperate and any/all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
adb is not designed to be usable in bootloader mode. You need fastboot for that. If you have the fastboot.exe program in the same folder as your adb stuff, try this:

fastboot devices

If it reads, then all you need to do is fastboot flash the various .img files back to the tablet. There are tool kits that do this for you, but I prefer doing it manually as there are less chances of things messing up and if they do, you're more likely to know at what step which could be useful for further troubleshooting if need be. It is important to download the correct img files due to differences between the generations and wifi / data enabled ones. There is a flash-all script that you can find in the download of the factory images, which might make it easier, but you can just manually flash the separate files as sometimes you don't need to bother with them all (like the bootloader) though if the script works, then it'll be fine and might make it easier if you are not familiar with the commands.

If you don't have fastboot at all, just grab it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Nexus img files: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Hit me up on Hangouts if you need more direction.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
You won't get adb in bootloader mode.

You have to use the fastboot command.

Please tell the OS on your computer.

Use the tool in my signature as an environment.

Download 7zip, and install that.

Then go here and download the proper image for your device.

It would either be "Factory Images "nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi)" or "Factory Images "nakasig" for Nexus 7 (Mobile)".

Grab the 4.4.2 version.

Extract the downloaded file with 7zip into the "Work" folder in the tool form my signature.

Then extract that "nakasig-kot49h-factory-83d93b5f.tar" file with 7zip.

Then go into the folder that came out of that, and extract the "image-nakasig-kot49h.zip" into the Work folder.

And enter the following commands while in bootloader.

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
cd nakasig-kot49h
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

Make SURE you grab the correct image for your device. Wifi or Mobile.

I also assume that you know the .img files should be in the Work folder before you type thse commands into my tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NecroGi:
Hey guys, first of all thank you for the speedy replies and steps I should follow.

Right now I'm using OSX but for the tablet I'm using a virtual Win7 machine to try and get this damn tablet to be recognized by the computer. The process is being delayed a little bit because my micro USB cords are being temperamental, meaning that the tablet has no juice, and when I mess with it (using the power + volume buttons to boot to bootloader/recover) the cord comes unplugged. I know automatically you guys are going to pinpoint this as the source of the issue (mainly because I would too), but it works fine if just laid flat and stays connected. It just has zero charge so when it disconnects/reconnects I literally have to power it back up, just need to wait for it to have some charge before I tinker with it more.

I will post updates after it charges.

Although I already thanked you guys, thanks again for speedy reply. It's much appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I suggest to STOP!!!

If you are trying to restore the device and the cable disconnects in the middle of it, it might not be recoverable. That would be one of the few ways to really damage the tablet as they are pretty difficult to hard brick. Don't half ass it with stuff like this. A good cable is not THAT much and will certainly be cheaper than a new tablet or getting it to a point where you might have to send it somewhere for service.

I'm not familiar with Macs, but if you are more so, then this might be better than using a Virtual set up:

https://code.google.com/p/adb-fastboot-install/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NecroGi:
It's actually working fine now (in the sense that the computer can now read it). The Virtual Machine also works just as good, but for some reason the toolkit I'm using won't properly return the tablet to the stock image using the SkipSoft Android ToolKit, so I'm going to have to try and find another way.

Thanks for your guys' help.

On the iphone it states the REAL usage time iphone was working... And not including stand by unlike the android that simply states "total time on battery"... At least on the galaxy s5 it tells you how much time the screen was on so u can more or less guess how long u used it not including background runing app like email, faceboom etc...

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] FreakyFreakGA:
Okay, I am having the weirdest of issues, on my Nexus 7 2013 both when it was running stock android 4.4.2 and now CM11, I cannot get my system to mount as R/W. Here's what I mean.

When I use Root Explorer, I can "mount" the system and it will say mounted as R/W, but ANY time it says the system is mounted as R/W and I do anything on the device that would require the system to be R/W like writing to /System folder, EVEN if Root explorer says its mounted as R/W as soon as I move a file to /System it will say something like "File system is not mounted as R/W, Mount as R/W?" which at this point it will go into R/W mode, but as soon as it's done the /System automatically seems to go back to R/O and I always have to reconfirm when I move a file to remount.

This is not such a big issue EXCEPT when I want to do ANYTHING in adb, anything I try in adb that requires that the system be in R/W will not work even in Root Explorer says the system is mounted as R/W, any time I try pushing files to /System or even trying to make a logcat the adb always comes back with "Not Allowed System Is Read Only"

My device is unlocked, rooted and has a custom recovery, and was running stock kernel with stock Android 4.4.2, but now i'm running CM11 with their kernel, I used Skipsoft Unified Toolkit for everything.
