Hi all great forum. I have rooted my desire s to saga 0.6.0 but i don't think it worked that well. so now i have formatted my SD card and and done a factory reset on the hand set. The rom 0.6.0 is still on? I want to return to stock then retry again? Any ideas? Many thanks.
Afraid it doesn't work like that. The SD card is mainly used to store your personal files and some application files. The ROM that you installed is actually stored within the phones internal memory.
In order to try again you do not need to go back to stock, just boot into recovery and install a new ROM. Typically you will need to do a full wipe, LBC has a zip for this on his website.

When you say I don't think that it worked so well? what do you mean? What happened that you weren't expecting?
LBC v0.6.0 custom ROM is a good stable ROM I am running it myself.
Did you ensure that before you flashed the ROM you ran LBC wipe script as mentioned above?
Did you also ensure that after you flashed the LBC ROM, that you also flashed a selection of additional Add-on's, that add Sense 3 functionality. You don't need all of them, but this is down to personal preference. (I use Lock Screen & Weather, black lock ring, SMS app and camera.)

Without trying to influence you too much. Rather than go to the effort of returning to STOCK now that you made you device S-OFF.
You'll find that the LBC ROM you have is very close to stock but generally improved in all areas. It's based on the latest HTC released stock base.
So why don't you try.
Running the LBC Wipe script then re-run the LBC v0.6.0 ROM ZIP.
Once you have installed the base v0.6.0 ROM and booted and setup your phone. You should download ROM manager from the market and use it to take a backup of you device/ROM, so that if you then don't like any of the add ons that you then try you can always restore back using your back up without having to setup all over again
Once you have a backup you can boot into recovery and try a few of the Sense 3 add ons that you'll find at http://saga-lbc-mod.de/add-ons/
good luck with your decision.
Hi thanks mate. I have followed the above steps but now the WiFi does not work???? its connected and on full signal but the phone says no WiFi signal.
O!

So just to confirm you ran the LBC WIPE script and then the LBC v0.6.0 zip? then booted? have you installed any add ons?
When you say doesn't work what happen's when you turn Wi-fi on? does it error?
Can you go into Settings->About Phone->Software
and write down the details Kernel version, Radio (baseband) version etc...
EDIT: did you test the wi-fi previously after first LBCC intsall? as we've not done anything that you've not done already? so this is strange? daft question, rebooted router? and tested connection to internet via a PC?
EDIT2 : back in two hours got to watch MANCHESTER UNITED NOW!

Did you perform the required WIPE steps/factory reset instructions that your custom ROM would have no doubt recommended that you do before installing?
Hi all, thanks for the reply,
I tried both coredroid and LBC
coredroid i will have keyboard issue
but for LBC i have both.
And i did a full wipe before installing... Now im back to stock rom and no issue at all.

Strange! Did you install the same apps in each case? as I suspect it could be application related.
You could always try a stock keyboard replacement, I use SWYPE but there are plenty others.....I know that this doesn't identify the problem but hopefully avoids it.
Custom Rom issues should be posted in that ROM's thread.

Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)
Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)
This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.
Never ran into this problem

Have u tried maybe a different rom??

I would suggest clearing the app data.
Have you news. I have the same problem and have yet to find any solution. If you have one I'd be grateful for it.

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.
Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

hello,
i've been trying to get my mt4gs to turn wifi on in ics. when i turn it on it says, "turning on" but just goes back to "off". i tried turning it on via settings and via the panel. i do a full wipe every install -reset data, clear cache, wipe dalvik cache. also not sure if it's related adb cannot detect device when booted but works fine in recovery when in ics.
i've read and tried the various .zip files for various radio/kernel posted by football but still no go. i may be overlooking a step when flashing but here is my device info:
CWM Recovery version 5.5.0.4 also used 5.0.2.7
Baseband: 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.20_2
HBOOT: Unlocked
DOUBLESHOT PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.45.0013

it works using gingerbread - tried OTA Stock, as well as bulletproof and it connects ok, but i need to turn wifi off first if i need to reboot otherwise i get the same issue, wifi won't turn on.
sorry for the long post, and forgive me if i missed an already existing thread. thanks for reading. any help is greatly appreciated.
well what rom are you using
I had the same problem with certain ROMs. Sometimes it would even say instead of switching back to off it would just say error. I used Dark Raider for Vivid and had that problem. I did everything and gave up. I downgraded my vivid to GB and rooted it. WiFi is an essential to me so I have to stay where I can switch it on. I hope there's a fix for this soon.

when you flash a rom, are you restoring a backup in titanium or something?
i have never had this problem and i have tried every rom on xda and rootzwiki
I've had this happen too. I've fixed it by using fastboot and flashing the boot.img from the ROM or Kernel update that I had last installed. My phone is s-on so I have to do that everytime I apply a ROM or am update that has a boot.img in it.

It was really frustrating for a while. It was the exact symptom you have described. I kept trying by flashing the kernel with fastboot, then flashing the ROM, and then flashing the kernel again with fastboot. It seemed that whenever I changed something, I had to use that sequence to get it to work again.

Update
Wifi still no go using ICS. Is there a recommended radio version when using ICS ROMS?
Any stock GB Rom version wifi is ok. Using Bulletproof 1.1 works fine as well. Tried v0.9b WildchildICe and update4 of unofficial cm9 and still no wifi. Gonna stick with WildChildIce rom for now and try different Radio combinations.

U got the problem solved? I have exactly the same issue each damned time
When you flash, try mounting system and data in recovery prior to the flash. There used to be an error where wifi would hang as described if those were not mounted upon flashing. Couldn't hurt to try.

I use viper and can confirm that mms does work as I use it often. Since you have checked your settings and all seems fine I would try to do a FRESH download of the Rom (not using the first older download) then wipe again full wipe data factory reset, and flash the NEW download. Perhaps something has gotten corrupted in the first download as its possible.... Then check mms after using a completely new download and complete wipe. Hopefully this will solve the issue. If not I suggest posting this on the developers web site and see if anyone had the same issue. They might know of a simple fix on the developers site. I'd give the fresh download a try first. If no joy, then I would ask on the developers site. I really hope this helps. I use viper as my daily Rom and have not had this issue. When you do your new flash make sure and wipe completely. I know you have tried to reflash however you were using the same old download this is why its important to re download the Rom incase the first is corrupted some how. Best wishes and I do hope this solves your issue.

thank you for your kind reply. May I ask you a noob question? I always choose full wipe within AROMA installer, is it right? or do I have yo manually wipe it in Recovery? If I am to wipe in recovery, which are the steps? I used ViperS as my daily ROM too; had no problems with the 1.0 release.
Cheers.
I always manually wipe all my partitions (except SD) before installing every rom, just to be on the safe side. hit wipe/format in recovery menu, then hit format all except SD and you should be good to go

Hi, I dont have your problem, but I did this way.
1. Androids backup
2. Wipe cache + dalvik in recovery
3. Enable smartflah (I use 4ext recovery and by phone is not s-off)
4. Run the aroma installer and perform full wipe
And done. The fist time it's slow but after reboot work great.
Sorry for my English.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone, I have tried everything you told me, from downloading a fresh ROM, wipe everything except SD card and then re flash the ROM, but the trouble stands strong. I have no idea how to solve it now... so depressing...
Hello everyone!
it seems like HTC Sense Companion didn't like my rom changes, since I ran the 1.13.401.1 ruu, it asks my personal data and if I'm interested in this or that suggestion and that's all, no more footsteps statistics or weather update like it used to give me every day. Back on Maximus HD, just the same... I tried to uninstall updates, clear cache and data, to no avail...
Someone's got an idea what the issue is ? Please, help!

1st, thanks for the answer!
Yes I am logged into my HTC account, you're kind of forced to when you set HTC Sense Companion up.
But what I don't understand is why sync is off and can't be turned on in accounts and sync ? Could it be the issue ?
When HTC Sense Companion did work, I did nothing special but set it up and log into my HTC account the simplest way...
HTC Sense Companion
I am having the exact same problem and no one seems to have a clue what to do. I know it's not a big deal but it's driving me nuts! I was on stock ROM and Sense Companion was working perfectly. Then I switched to ViperU 1.7.0 (full wipe), and now Sense Companion doesn't do anything. It asked me to opt-in but after that no cards or notifications. If I had to guess I would guess it's some weird HTC server glitch. Others on the same ROM are getting it to work. If you find out anything please let me know. I contacted HTC chat support and the chat rep supposedly contacted the HTC dev team. They said the app will not work properly on any custom ROM. I believe that's bull since others have it working obviously on a custom ROM.

Yes I am logged into my HTC account, you're kind of forced to when you set HTC Sense Companion up.
But what I don't understand is why sync is off and can't be turned on in accounts and sync ? Could it be the issue ?
When HTC Sense Companion did work, I did nothing special but set it up and log into my HTC account the simplest way...

What ROM did you use to initially setup the Sense Companion app? That is normal for the sync to be off. That has nothing to do with it. I have a theory that the app somehow gets messed up if you switch to a different ROM and try to set it up again. I was actually thinking about switching back to stock ROM to see if it goes back to working normally, but the app isn't worth all the hassle.

Perhaps you're right. 3rd party roms has no guarantee of it.
I disabled the Sense Companion...It doesn't help me a lot.

I do use Sense Companion for my daily footsteps. I 1st set it up on stock/locked status. It still worked when I set my U11 up again after unlocking it. It still worked when I dirty flashed Maximus HD. It went nuts when I ruu to 1.13.401.1 to get the ota in order to have the 1.27.401.5 firmware correctly flashed...
I wonder if there's a way to completely reset Sense Companion...?

What I believe happens is when you first set it up it collects your software info and numerous data and sends it to some HTC server. I believe those who have it working on a custom ROM dirty flashed like you did once it was already setup on stock. It's also possible that HTC started checking what software the user is running at a later date. Once you wipe the App's data and start over again, it collects the data again and if the software is not stock, the App will not work properly. This is my best guess. The only way to make it work on a custom ROM once you've wiped the App's data is to flash back to stock, setup the app (opt-in etc.), dirty flash to custom ROM and it should work as long as you give the App time to collect the data on the stock ROM. I'm sure there is a way to fool the App into thinking you're on stock, but no one seems to care. I've reported it in the ViperU ROM thread and most people have uninstalled the app and could care less. Unless a developer cares there is no other way IMHO to get the app to work properly. Sorry you're having the same problem. I think you and I are the only ones that seem to like the app. I pretty much have given up since I don't have the technical knowledge to hack or fool the app.

I'm now waiting for the 1.27.401.1 ruu (being already on the matching firmware and not yet S-Off), hoping to sort it out...
Yes it stops working on custom ROM's I guess. It's no longer working for me either. There will have to be a fix. I'm just gonna disable it until there may be a fix.
By the way, I'm currently on stock (nandroid backup restored), but uncomprehendingly Uncertified in play store. I think it has nothing to do with this issue because I'm certified again if I flash Maximus HD and Sense Companion still not working properly...
Here, I invoke @LlabTooFeR , @LeeDroid and @j to the 4n and their Dev skills for a solution/ fix...

I can't believe it. The app started working late this afternoon. There was an app update 2 days ago. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it's working perfectly fine now. I guess it works on a custom ROM after all.

Manufacturers and service providers will tell you nothing works properly on custom ROM's and your phone will explode. Never even mention custom ROM to them they don't have a clue lol. I took my HTC 10 into Verizon for a new SIM card and the rep must of thought I was too stupid to install it so he was man-handling my phone and we he saw the red writing on boot up he automatically went into panic mode lmao. I told him to just give me my phone back I got this. :laugh:
I'm back on Maximus HD 2.1 after I ruu my U11 with the freshly available 1.27.401.5 dugl ruu.
I shall see if HTC Sense Companion works again as it used to.
I'll report about it asap.
I've just received an update for Sense Companion, hoping harder it'll work again very soon...
At last, Sense Companion's working great again since last Saturday and this after I ruued my U11 with 1.27.401.5 ruu, reinstalled TWRP and flashed Maximus HAD back 3 days before...
I'm still puzzled, but hey Sense Companion's back on the saddle
