[mod]TMOUS APN unlock for tethering - HTC Sensation

Gone fishing...

Thats awesome dude, thanks!

So this works on a complete stock TMobileUS Rom?
Swyped on HTC Sensation 4G

Very nice. Thanks Grogg! When dev-host decides to actually let me download the file, I'll give this a try on my stock ROM.

Yes sir!

These won't work on any other ROM besides stock and steve0007's roms?

GROGG can post to tell for sure but the deodexed version is for custom ROMs so in theory it should work on AOSP and AOKP ROMS as well. A stock ROM will be odexed, but custom ROMs are usually deodexed.

The odexed version will work on a factory 3.32.531.14 rom. It will also work on any stock based rom that are NOT deodexed (I don't know of any).
The deodexed version will work on any deodexed factory based 3.32.531.14 rom. This will include Steve0007's deodexed stock rom, and it should also work on ARHD 1.1/1.2... It could also work on others, but if any mods or themes have been applied to the framework it will wipe them out!
I have submitted this for the add-on section of ARHD...

I'm on elegancia 3.0.0.. Do I just flash this in recovery? It saids to do factory reset. If someone could post the steps I would appreciate it alot.. Thanks

In the changelog for Elegancia it says APNs were unlocked at version 2.0.0. Is this mod any different to what Steve has already done in his ROM?

whats the difference between your MOD and the APN unlock already built-in to a few ROMs, I see that you plainly elaborated the NO, they are not the same, but was unwilling to further distinguish them in the elegancia thread.
If happen to have a moment, I would greatly appreciate any information your willing to discuss on your own thread.

that's the post that has prompted my curiosity.

Alright here's what I did. Some info first:
Elegancia 3.0.0 (TMOUS Version)
Stock kernel
Proper Firmware
1. Made a backup of the Data partition because I don't want to have to re-setup everything again
2. Placed the .zip on my SDCard
3. Reboot into recovery and performed Factory Reset
4. Wiped Dalvik/Cache (even though reset wiped cache)
5. Installed .zip
6. Wiped cache again (could have probably waited until this step, but Grogg's instructions said to, and I must abide)
7. Restored Data from previous backup
8. Rebooted
Everything is set up exactly as it was before. Just thought I'd share what I did.

I will gladly discuss it here... Both Elegancia 3.0.0 and version B of my rom are using resources from 3.32.401.105 in order to achieve two functions:
1. Unlock APNs
2. Provide leedroid tweak compatibility
The only problem with this is the fact that they are no longer "true tmous builds". I refer to them as "franken-builds"... I have not gone through all the differences between framework-res, systemui, framework.jar, services.jar, etc... but I can tell you that certain small bugs have been reported with the xe build that others have reported as fixed in the official tmous version.
The APNs are written to apns.xml within the framework-res.apk. This is why we used XE components to unlock the APNs at first. You can distinguish what roms are built this way by the framework version:
TMOUS: 20120412.202737
XE: 20120321.232857
My unlocking mod is the stock TMOUS framework-res.apk, but it has the apns.xml from XE. This ensures that the rest of the rom stays in tact and that no bugs will be induced by mixed resources... I've also included this mod as an option during install on version A of my rom.

That's because your bootanimation is in /data/local and when you perform a factory reset you wipe your /data partition...

Just so everyone knows, Elegancia 3.0.0 already has the APN's unlocked. If you do this with the Stock Tmobile US rom and then restore your Data from the backup, it will put the locked APN's right back out there.

OK, Hi crazy... This replaces the framework-res.apk in /system, but a factory reset must be performed for changes to take effect because the APNs are written to /data on first boot. If you shortcut and restore your data partition then you're just re-writing the original locked APNs...

[Q] Can't Flash Sense ROMS

I'm having some trouble, I'm currently on CM 7.1, and for reasons unknown, I want to flash a sense 3.0 based rom. I've tried Android Revolution and Virtuous Unity, but every time I try flashing I get stuck at the splash screen and need to restore my backup of CM. Is there anything I'm doing wrong/ not doing? I always clear cache/data every time I flash.
Are you wiping the system partition too? Sounds like maybe old system files or something are causing the bootloop. Wipe that, boot partition, and the dalvik cache.

yeah, and 99% of the rom installers will also wipe dalvik for you too. some of them even wipe cache
So if I'm already wiping everyting, what am I doing wrong? My phone's been rooted for about 3 months, and I've been switching between aosp based roms (cm nightlies, miui, ect) with no problem. I just can't seem to get a sense rom to work for me.

Is your version of clockwork updated? If not, flash it through Rom manager. You should probably flash recovery either way just to be sure. Then select wipe data/factory reset in clockwork, wipe dalvik and flash Rom. Let it sit for about ten minutes to let it boot up. It should hang on the boot screen for a little bit.

Everything's up to date. Last time I tried to flash VU I let it stay on the boot screen for about 30 mins before I aborted for fear of running out of battery and being totally screwed.

Are you selecting wipe data/factory reset through recovery. That gets rid of your android secure file that's on your sd card. You want it to do that.
Did you try reflashing recovery too as I mentioned in earlier post, regardless of if it is current.

I let it sit for about 20 mins, pulled out the battery, and wiped, flashed, and let it sit for another 15. I haven't tried stock, I just want a sense 3.0 rom to work.
Do I need to flash a different radio/ril? And if I mess it up, will a nandroid restore my old radio/ril?

Stop doing wipes after the flash. Custom roms load up things that will be deleted on wipe. I would flash stock and start from square one.
The ril will be included in the rom but you will have to flash the matching radio

Also, b3nny, I don't know if you have tried the ace hack kit lately, but it is fully automated now. It can return you to stock and back to root in under 20min. I would restore to the latest ruu "2.47.502.7" and root from there. I have done this and am able to flash any Rom for the inspire.

I flashed that one from day one and found version 4 with the matched radio (26.13.04.19 ) to be the best performance wise. I stuck with that as my daily for about 2 weeks and that's a while for me. I just flashed bindroids runnymede version (bindroid rhd 2.3.5 v 2.0) and it is really nice. Best looking Rom to date imo and it runs smooth too. I'm going to stay with this one until I see some ics.

Help, phone doesn't start up after firmware update

I have HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and downloaded the 3.2 firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I used T-Mobile one, though I guess it didn't matter because I have superCID. When I turn my phone on it keeps restarting at the white HTC screen, vibrates, then HTC screen again. Can't start up my phone.
Don't think it matters..but I did delete "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed" a while back.
Just put the correct PG58IMG on ur SD card and let the bootloader do the update once again ..
Remember also to remove the pg58img file from the sd card after the installation of the firmware

Also keep in mind that when you install new firmware you have to wipe and reinstall your ROM. A lot of times the Cache and sometimes the Data partitions will corrupt when you install new firmware, so you will need to grab a flash-able ZIP of your current ROM (or Android Revolution HD, it's nice as well!).
Go into recovery mode, wipe everything but your SD card (of course) then install your ROM again from your SD card.

Yeah, it's for ICS ROMs, but I would think it would still work with Gingerbread. I'm not sure. I know from experience that if you flash a new Radio, RIL, Firmware, etc it is recommended to reflash your ROM, no matter what ROM you're on. Since the OS relies on the firmware, RIL, and Radio that you were using before, it can't load the new package without a wipe.
The situation is kind of like switching ROMs and then dumping the Data and Cache partitions from your OLD ROM onto the new ROM before it even boots. In most cases, it won't boot.

[Q]Wifi not working

Hey
I'm on the newest CM9 from nk111
I tried CM10 by nk111, I made a backup ,wiped, flashed boot.img and installed .zip. No problem it worked fine.
Then I wiped again and restored. The problem is now that wifi cannot be turned on and I can't go to setting/apps I think it is because sdcard is moved and renamed to sdcard0 but how do I change it back? I can't do that using root browser
It all worked before I tried CM10...
When I reboot it says that the process system has stopped answering... please help me someone

Guessing from your question, you have unlocked through HTCDev. In that case restoring the backup won't help you - you need to flash the correct boot.img that matches the kernel from backup (possibly boot.img from the backup itself, if it'll work).

Yes that was so obvious that I did not considered it at all From the OP I thought that guy knows about the obligatory kernel flashing, even for a backup.

Flashed wrong kernel during ELEGANCIA install

Hi There
I am just over begginner level, so I hope someone can help me!
I have a HTC Sensation
- It is rooted
- Bootloadeer is unlocked
- CWM recovery is flashed and working
I installed the ELEGANCIA custom rom to the phone and all was fine, apart from the WIFI was not working. In a stupid moment of madness, I flashed the stock kernel to the phone through the One X software.
So now, when I load the phone, I just get the white HTC screen and can go no further.
As previously stated, I can get into clockworkmod and fastboot etc.
I have the correct kernel package on my PC, but have no idea how to flash it with the phone in this state, or if indeed this will even work. I just want to get back to a working phone now
I do have access to another phone, so I can put zip files etc onto my SD card if that helps.
Is there a rom with the correct firmware/kernels built into it, so I can literally just install the rom through clockworkmod in recovery to overwrite the old kernels automatically.
Or can anyone give me advice on what to do now. Much appreciated in advance.
Thanks
Marc
ps I still have the ROM on my SD card for ELEGANCIA and it installs if I attempt to reinstall, but the kernel is incorrect I far as I understand, hence why it just goes to the white screen again. Do I just need to flash the correct kernel, if so where is it and how do I flash in this state. Ahhh, sorry its a new phone, been up until 5am!

All you have to do is get the right kernel in the sd card and flash it through cwm.

Thanks for that, so I have the correct kernel in a zip folder, within the zip folder is loads of other things including radio etc, do I put this whole zip file on to my SD card? I tried that already and it just aborts when I try and run it in CWM during the install. Do I need to do anything to the kernel folder or add any image or something.

Did you extract the boot.img from the rom and flash through fastboot?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
No, I did not. Basically once the ROM installed, if you have ever seen the One X all in one kit, I pressed (stupidly) flash stock kernel (I think it was 2.6.394) and then got the white screen. If I flash the boot image from the ROM, I will still have the incorrect kernel will I not? Or will that trigger the ZIP file on my SD card, which has the correct kernel? Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, I have gone above my head on this!
What bootloader version is on your phone? If it's 1.27 then follow this guide. You should also use 4ext recovery instead of cwm.

Thanks a lot, this looks great
One final question
Does this 4EXT automatically detect the custom kernel during the install.
"Follow through the steps and when it asks you to install a custom kernel it would be preferable to select YES, when Installing stock Kernel it is possible you will have Wifi problems. (see Step 3) "
The example it gives is for the Android Revolution HD . Is the firmware different from the stock kernel?
I am just confused with what I done on the One X software, I just clicked 'flash stock kernel' or should I not worry about this?

If You enable smartflash that will take care of it..
And the line you quoted is obsolete.. The smartflash will work for any kernel.. And it won't break wifi (even if it breaks the wifi it can be fixed)

Thank you so much, I will get on it when I finish work.
Just for final clarification, have you ever used/seen the HTC one X toolkit software? The button I pressed, which said 'flash stock kernel' which is what caused me the problems.
Are you saying that following the guide fully and enabling the smart on the 4ext recovery will reverse whatever this done and rewrite the kernel from the ROM, without me having to do anything else? I won't for example have to download and flash a new kernel to get HTC evolution HD (the one given in the example) to work?
I just fear that the fact I have already rewritten to stock kernel using this one X toolkit means problems? But if following the guide corrects this, then great. Hope that makes sense.

Follow the guide and it will correct any mistakes you made. Your new kernel will install when you flash the rom.

Hey all you guys that helped me tonight.
SUCCESS!!!!
I followed every step, installed the evolution HD ROM, wiped, sliced, diced etc etc etc.....HTC white screen.
Having looked in the guide, it suggested to do the boot image thing and next thing I know, phone is back on.
Your help means the world to me, my new phone is back online and everything seems to be working just fine, with a quality ROM and no crap branding either!
Thanks a million all

[Q] Rooting my friends phone.. bricked?

I really need help here guys. I am rooting my friends HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and I think i might have broken the OS.
I can still get into recovery mode and flash, but my ROMs crash as soon as I boot. The phone even runs into a boot loop sometimes depending on which ROM. Can anybody guide me to bring the phone back to stock? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I rooted the phone, installed supersu (fine up until now) .. Created a backup via CWM and tried to flash Cyanogen mod. I realized it failed and so i went back to wipe (factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache) and went to restore my backup. The back up passes but is not 100% working due to some missing files in the system. I am also running HBOOT - 1.17.1111

Yes, it say's S-OFF at the top. I also already used revolutionary to achieve S-OFF and get CWM... Now what? I still can't do anything.. Do i flash ICS? What ROM do you recommend? Please, show me steps if that is possible.

Hi,
I gave you a GB ROM to flash.
That should get your phone running again.
Then, I gave you a link to a guide which will install 4 EXT recovery,update your firmware and radio,and install ARHD ICS ROM.
Please read the link carefully,and follow it to the letter.

I tried that, and it failed on me. It bootloops on the HTC logo now. I need to return this phone to my friend by tomorrow.
I don't know if this is too much to ask, but would anybody mind assisting me through a google hangouts video chat? I could do it tomorrow at about 4PM. I really need to get this fixed.... Like bad.
Wipe the phone. Then Flash the original OS with Odin. Problem solved, then try rooting again

I don't know what I did... but I managed to get Cyanogen Mod working.. I'm scared to touch anything else lol. It's working flawlessly so far.
