Database Info

Ok, so I forgot to do a Nandroid backup and want my original ROM back. What now?

I tried custom Roms for the first time, and they totally ruined it for me. My touchscreen is kinda not as responsive as it used to be, both with insert coin and Revolution Rom.
So now I want my original Rom back. I only did a Titanium Backup. Since my phone was a branded one, I have no chance of getting the same ROM back, do I? I still have the 2.3.4. OTA update from my carrier though, but not previous versions.

Go to s off guide. Scroll down. read about flashing ruu

Bro I read your guide thoroughly. Problem is, I don't have the original ROM from my provider so I could flash it. Yes I can flah the european RUU but it will not be the same as from Swisscom (my prvodier). Installing the custom roms wiped my phone partition so no restore.
Or am I missing something here?
Edit: Ok nevermind, I just figured I actually did a clockwork backup image when I was doing the steps in your guide. So I hope restoring to that image will fix it for me. Thx for the hint though. And nice gudie btw, keep on the good work!

Clockwork back up is nandroid lol

PLEASEEEE try this rom before you revert back to stock, try out P3D Neon 4.1.
Best ROM I have used! I have tried leedroids, insertcoin's, and 3 other roms and this one has to be the best one.
If you're not into a ROM with eye-candy and such then nevermind, but it's the smoothest ROM IMO, has good battery life too.

I'm very much into eyecandy Well I might give it a shot...
You getting paid for advertising it or what

What is the file name of the OTA you have?

HELP

plz help. rooted sensation. I was running sense-o-maniac rom but switched to an ics rom using 4ext recovery but then my phone didnt start after 1 hour so i tried to put it into hboot and it said that no image or something and then asks ffor an update. When i do that update it reboots and gets stuck again but if i dont i cant press to go back only reboot where it gets stuck. What do i do? i am willing too do a full wipe or ANYTHING just gte me into recovery.PLEASE

Did you flash the recovery using hboot (pg58img.zip) If so remove it from your SD card (use an adaptor or just remove the SD and see if you can get to hboot as normal.

And if that's the case, you can put a Gingerbread ROM on the SD card and reflash that one. Should spin right up.
IF this is your problem

Yes most probably the problem is due to the flashing of the firmware. First flash the firmware required for ICS ROMS and then install the ROM, should work out fine for you

Quick question about adb

I came from a mytouch 4g recently.
I already had adb setup for my mytouch 4g.
Do I need to install or do anything for it to work for my sensation?
Or am I good to go?

Nope you are good to go. Flash away and have fun! Just make sure to read all the prerequisites prior to flashing, especially for the ICS.
For ICS:
Basically you need to of course, then, unlock, NANDROID, superCID, update firmware, don't revert back the hboot to 1.17 and use a super wipe script, wipe all old data and flash your rom.

If you upgrade with the latest firmware (hboot 1.23), the newer roms will not boot up from hboot 1.17. Unless someone came across a fix.
And also keep in mind the hboot under 1.23 will say "LOCKED" but don't worry. You are still rooted.

Is there a pg58img zip file I can fast boot flash to do so?? Have no PC at the moment.
Hope you can help

You can flash the 3.12 firmware and then you should be able to flash a Stock ROM.

Help please

Ok I've been searching for about a month on how to root this, but I am not understaning any of the root guides. Here's my plan, my sensation came stoock s-off and now its running ics OTA, for now I just want root, so I'm planning to fastboot flash the 4ext recovery and install superuser. Would that work? Also, in the future if I want to flash a rom I just flash the firmware, flash the boot.img, then flash the rom. Is this correct? I'm comming from a mytouuch 4g slide were everything is much simpler then this, so I'm a noob.

If you are s-off you can do anything you want to. 4ext will let you flash any rom you want easily (regardless of if your stock rom is rooted). Since all custom roms are already rooted you can flash any new rom now and it will have root on first boot.
You can flash roms in one step from recovery. Wipe everything but the sd card then flash the rom. You dont need to flash boot image and what not separately from the rom if you are s-off. It'll do it all at once for you.
You only need to change the firmware if you are switching from Gingerbread to ICS/Jelly Bean. You dont need to do it for every rom flash.
And you can install Superuser from adb (and maybe from 4ext if there is an install script for it but Ive never tried that) to get root on your stock rom.
Basicly by having it come s-off from the factory it could not possibly be easier to root and flash.

So if i want to flash a sense 4 rom i just flash it through ext? Cool youre saying that i olny need to flash firmware if im going from gingerbread to ics but im going from ics to ics? If so, thanks for this for info!
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

You don`t need to flash firmware if you pass form gb to gb or ics to ics. I`m convinced that your firmware is 3.32. Flash 3.33 from here http://d-h.st/bCV via bootloader.(You just put the zip on your sd card)
And after all of this you make a full format except sdcarc(from 4ext) and VOILA ! You`re phone is ready for all roms from here.

Why flash firmware 3.33? What does it do?
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

It is newer....and maybe improve you signal. It`s only for ICS.
On my device signal was improved drastically.

Yes you can use 3.33 on stock ICS
//one more thing i`ve forget. To be more safer make a NAND BACKUP before flashing.

Do o flash firmware like a PGMxxxxx image
And can you tell me the bestt version of 4ext to use
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

Yes.
I`m using latest version.
//You find it here http://4ext.net/ (4ext recovery updater)
This can be installed directly from app.

Can I flash that firmware without it erasing anything
