[HTC Sensation] sc.lord:
Two years ago I had this phone and I wanted to flash. I did. I don't remember all the details of it, but I do know that someone on here helped me flash it and it ended up with a European(?) flash on it and I remember he helped me do something with the radio in order that it would take the flash. I also remember that the reason for the flash was so that TMO wouldn't charge me for tethering. In any case, here's the current situation. I sold the phone and the person came and said they were having issues... so I was trying to restore it to a TMOUS ROM. Eventually, I bricked it, and got the qualcom download mode issue. I found the thread on that on how to fix it, and I did. Now the phone boots to the recovery screen and does nothing else. I am unable to flash ANY of TMO's RUU's, some of the PG58IMG.zip files that I've been able to find all fail... very frustrating.

I followed another thread that talked about how to unlock the bootloader, which involved copying the Identifier Token and sending it in to HTC. I received the response, and ran the command and was successful in unlocking it. When the device rebooted, it even showed the Tmobile animated logo. When I go back into the boot loader, it now reads:

My bootloader screen reads as follows:

*** UNLOCKED ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT - 1.27.0000

eMMC-boot

JAN 13 2012.17:33:34

Software info shows:

Android Version: 4.0.3

HTC Sense Version: 3.6

Software number: Blitz_2.0.0

Kernel: 3.0.16-gda3fdfc

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144#1

Baseband version: 11.76A3504300U_11.24A.3504.31_M

Build Number 3.33.401.106 CL391535 release-keys

Browser version: WebKit/534.30

At this point, I would try any flash, any rom, any thing to get this phone working for the guy again. I am skittish about flashing anything from this point so I don't mess up and have to start all over somewhere. Can I flash something working from this point? Can I flash a TMO RUU from here?

I have the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_RADIO_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed.exe as well as several others. Id' rather put this phone onto something stock from tmo but will do a custom as long as the phone is restored to working order.

I won't say I'm a newb... but having been away from flashing for a while, I could really use some step by steps to get going again.

The computer I am using to flash with is a Windows XP machine with all the HTC drivers working etc.

**** UPDATE ****

The phone now boots up as it did when this all started. After I did the token thing and got the bin file from HTC, I applied it and the result was the boot loader info above. It got past the tmobile animated logo and actually into the phone starting up as new including applying all the settings I want. Awesome that the phone now functions like a phone again, but I would still like to flash an official TMO Rom to it to restore it back to like out of the box condition. Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] sc.lord:
I actually have read that... like 6 times to make sure I'm not missing anything. I do remember having to flash the radio back when I did my original flashing, and I think that process is preventing me from using any of the RUU's that I find. Are there any posts/files/resources that will help me flash the radio back to its default, so that I can then flash the RUU?

Also, I am S-ON already, but ANY RUU that I try to flash fails. Do I need to go to S-OFF and then RUU, then back to S-ON?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no you don't need S-OFF

post your cid
[HTC Sensation] sc.lord:
CID is 11111111

I think I have it licked now.

Used the universal firmware and the viper 5.2.1 flash and it loaded just fine. Never got S-OFF on it, but the viper flash so far is working excellent.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
how do you have supercid with S-ON?

also how did you flashed the universal firmware while on S-ON?

those two things can be done only on S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] sc.lord:
Wish I could tell you.... hence the reason for the original help request.

I can tell you that I hit softbrick on it once and had to unbrick in linux.

Then I got the LOCKED with Security Warning. Then I got the unlock bin file from HTC Dev, used that and got back to UNLOCKED, with no security warning. Then I tried Rumunner without any success at all, stayed S-ON.

in any case, after trying just about everything I could think of, I found the viper post, saw that you said you don't need S-OFF to flash new rom... so i gave it a shot. Updated EXT, flashed the firmware, then the rom and it all went very smoothly. Phone's been working fine since. <shrug>
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuweisheng:
Hi guys,

My ROM was a singapore base firmware. I think is NE4.

I use PC odin to flash in the NG2-SEE version and everything works fine.

However, when I tried to flash back the singapore version, I ended up in a boot loop.

I have tried to flash the NG2 version for singapore that has been just release but it still stay in boot loop.

The only way to get out from this loop is to flash back the NG2-SEE version.

Anyone know how to solve this?

thank you. (^з^)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGR:
Did you clear the cache and done a factory reset from recovery before trying to flash any rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuweisheng:
No, All the ROM are stock ROM. By doing a factory reset I will lost my data.

The only issue arise is NE4(MM1)->NG2(SEE), then back to NE4(MM1), without the need to do factory reset.

If I were to flash back to NG2(SEE) when boot loop happen, it is ok.

my phone doesnt't boot using power button. it only boots when it's conected to the computer (the green led comes, and after a coulpe of minutes it boots) but doesn't pass the M logo (which by the way is teared beacuse of the ROM (epinter 4.2) <--- that is normal) i try to enter fastboot mode by hitting the vol down (or up) button when booting but it can't enter fastboot mode.

i've searched this problem but none seem to have it my way (i mean no boot, no fastboot). any help would be apreciated.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khublot:
Good afternoon guys,

I purchased a HTC M8 from local listings, and absolutely love the phone. The phone is running a Google Edition, but I have absolutely no clue what is currently installed on the phone. I would like to convert it back to HTC Sense, but I tried flashing/restoring the TWRP method, with the suggested Nandroid version of my carrier, but I always get an error message.

How do I go about, to know if it's running a RUU, or if it's just a ROM ? Once I know, which guide would you suggest following?

In the "About phone" I'm seeing:

Kernel version: 3.4.0-gb1b6fb1

Hi everyone, I posted a reply in the NFC unlocking module thread but i guess its better to ask question here?

I installed the NFC Unlocking module by MohammadAG and it works great, however I am encountering a small problem.

the NFC unlocking module works by recognizing the NFC chip ID, however if the NFC tag has some message already stored in it ie: website URL, when using that tag to unlock the device the browser will be activated at the same time. I wonder how do I prevent this? I am working on a small app and want it to work together with the NFC unlock, that is the APP will be only triggered after the screen has been unlocked, (in practice, the first tap unlock the screen, and second tap trigger the app)

I tried few days and couldnt figure it out, any suggestions will be very helpful:confused:

Thank you very much for your help!

So A While Back I Made A Youtube Video ON DualBooting Any Samsung Vibrent Phone. The Process Worked on all Devices i Tried It My Self

((( I Did Not Make This Process)))

So Like Most i Had To Get My Hands On The S5 For Really No Reason.

I Uninstalled It For Now Due To My Dissatisfaction With All AOSP Roms For Now But As Soon As I Find One I Like Im Defenatly Doin This.

[Galaxy S 5 General] chenxiaolong:
Hey guys, I'm the author of the Galaxy S4 DualBootPatcher app.

I just want to point out that this is currently working

purely by chance

. ROMs with updater-scripts that refer to the named partitions (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot") are safe to try, but any ROM that uses the partition numbers directly (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p16") have a chance of

bricking the phone irrecoverably

because the partition table does not match the Galaxy S4's.

In the next version of the patcher, I will be adding support for the S5 and the Note 3. Until then, I do not recommend dual booting :)
