JuopunutBear Help - HTC Sensation

im basically stuck here (picture)....what now ?
My HBOOT is 1.29.x and 3.33.xx firmware. I read this works with 3.32.xx...didn't see 3.33.xx mentioned anywhere, could it be the reason ?

Please follow the instructions carefully
It may sometimes take multiple attepmts to get the wire trick right,
but don't stop mid-way, complete the whole process.
A very good way to do the wire trick is to time it while looking at the animated
image in the guide
The wire trick must be done using an insulated wire
'the' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
You should o the wire trick (touch ONLY 2 times) when you see "DO WIRE TRICK NOW
!"
You must now have all requirements,
'your' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
You cannot disconnect the phone until the process is completed
If you haven't removed the back cover yet, you can disconnect the phone
'remove' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Your SD Card may be wiped. Please backup. This program can be kept on hold, but
don't close it.
If you put your phone on disk drive mode to backup, remember to change back to H
TC Sync mode before continuing
Please make sure that the SIM Card is also removed!
To start the process when you are ready,
Press any key to continue . . .

its connection problem
could be
1. you are not using usb 2.0 port ...avoid usb 3.0 port or usb hubs ..also if using pc ..connect to back usb ports
2. HTC SYNC was not uninstalled
3. You dont have the drivers or usb debugging not enabled

I have drivers. My laptop might have USB 3.0....will connect in the computer and try right now.
HTC Sync has to be uninstalled ? which means i only have to select HTC Sync on phone and NOT INSTALLED on the computer. (im just talking to myself.:silly:....correct me if i am wrong about this)
[EDIT] My phone's screen went blank and i could only see the notification bar (before you posted a reply) i factory reset it and its fine.....And what are the chances that i will lose SD card data ?

1.yes HTC-SYNC has to be uninstalled
2. if your screen went blank ..with only notification bar ..means you have temp root done ..you need to remove temp root (i have provided a bat for this ) but factory reset cleans that up too
3.chances of losing sd card data is 100% ..as it wipes the sd-card in the process ..(it backup's some stuff but not all) ..thats why its highly recommended to backup the sdcard before trying the process

did you wipe data/factory reset and flash the ROM with 4EXT SmartFlash enabled?

Yeah, dalvik, factory reset, battery stats.....all 3. But, with Clockwork recovery. ( I some how am disposed to it to it lol ) So could that be the problem ?
ViperS flashed fine without any problem. Just that it was at a bootloop for more that 9 hours

yes it will coz you have cwm and when using cwm while being SON ..you need to do a extra step in addition to flashing the ROM
i.e flash the boot.img separately
to be more precise extra 1 step from this guide
if you have 4EXT recovery tings would be better for you as smartflash feature in that recovery takes care of that extra step needed (read the above linked guide ..regarding how 4EXT helps )

I wanted to know....whats the significance of boot.img. I flashed a kernel using cmd and everything and since past few days i was wondering what exactly does the boot.img do ? (I'm sorry for the troll but i searched for 3 hours but couldn't find anything beneficial.

keep losing root and wont unlock, can i buy an unlock code?

Ive rooted it twice and used the file to make it permanent, also flashed revolution rom, but when i use terminal or adb on pc i get "SU not found", Really need this sorting as i dont have a phone atm
If i can buy an unlock code which sites do you guys recommend?
Thanks
You should've tried rooting it the 3rd time as well
Have you tried the troubleshooting thread about rooting/cwm/s-off? I've had the same problem, lost root confused after flashing CM7 alpha, but flashing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip three times solved it.
forget the unlock codes btw

Lol...guess you didn't see the FREE do it yourself unlock in the development section
true but ive re-flashed it like 5 times now trying to unlock the damm thing, then losing root, cvm or clockwork mod
Perform S-Off, install Clockwork, throw the PG58DIAG.nbh file into the SD card, boot into the fastboot/recovery, it should open the application. Follow menus to get to clear data, phone will be restored to "stock" and you should be SIM unlocked.
Also, 20 pounds seems a bit high, I paid 10 dollars for mine (Before we had S-Off, don't flame)
I'm flashing ROMs for a retard and this happen but I left this su zip in the root of the sd and it kept saying that it wasn't rooted but I flashed the zip in recovery and Viola he's rooted hope it helps
Ok went to get phone and he cant unlock it, he was like the battery went flat,
i went outside and turned it on to find 70% battery remaining,
so im going to try it myself again .
It is really easy follow this guide step by step nsjevsyre you remove htc sync from you pc first and droid explorer and adb ifvyiu have them

Method 1 was discovered by a noob - Dav22. Dazweeja came up with a simple ADB command. Skygear for working it in Terminal Emulator
Method 2 was discovered by sieempi (Links at the bottom), STRING: NOT FOUND workaround found by jackmonter5
Big thanks to xplod4202. Risked his Sensation to see if Methd 2 was safe for us all.
And The simple guide : xl Viper lx : I am simply doing what i do best. getting you a noobproof guide and also simplifying the adb/terminal code
All of us will take credit for the collaborating and making of this thread to help everyone unlock with no cost. What???.....Yes thats right......We broke the FTSE index by providing free unlocks! lol
Also 9 people who voted no in the poll, ad voted before we found method 2 which unlocks every sensation
METHOD 1 - USE THIS FIRST
The SIM-Unlock code location for some sensation's (NOT ALL) has been found and confirmed to work for the few users who tested it. Use method 1 below to find your unlock code
(Method 1 ADB guide in post 2 if you don't want to use Terminal Emulator or you just want to use ADB)
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation - Enable USB debugging in Settings > Application ->Development
-Terminal Emulator (Download free from the market) or click here to download and install into your phone
Your IMEI Number (Dial "*#06#" in phone keypad to get it)
GUIDE - Method 1
1. Download Terminal Emulator from the market if you havent already done so and Run it. This should bring you a blue screen. Full screen.
2. enter the command "SU".
3. Click allow when Super user pop up appears to give it root access. (If your keyboard disappears, keep hold of menu button to bring it back up)
4. enter the command "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6"
5. This should give Output a bunch of numbers like in the screenshot! IF IT SAYS STRING: NOT FOUND MOVE TO POST 2 AND USE ADB!
6. The 8 digit number above your IMEI number is your unlock code. See post 2 on how to enter it.

}
IF it only brings you a date above your IMEI. Then the unlock code is not present in your device. Move to Method 2
GUIDE - Method 2 - USE IF METHOD 1 FAILED!
Revolutionary achieved radio S-OFF for Sensation (among other devices) which means you can practically do whatever you want with your phone (like actually owning it). This means it makes it vulnerable to all sorts of schemes including sim-unlock. The following method is quite efficient and easy to do and can be done with the need for a computer!
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation!
-Clockwork Recovery or Revolutionary Recovery - NEEDED FOR NANDROID BACKUP
-Titanium Backup (Download from the market if you don't have it) - YOU ONLY NEED THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO OR CAN'T NANDROID BACKUP
WARNING!!!
Backup all your settings/apps/sms/network/APN/Data etc.
Using this method to unlock will wipe your data and apps too! (Factory Resets in other words)
But it's this method that actually resets some other things including your sim-lock status.
Guide - Method 2
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP USING RECOVERY - (Completely switch off your phone, Press Volume down + Power button to get into bootloader, Volume down to recovery then press power button to get into Recovery. Volume down to "Backup and Restore" in recovery. Press Power to backup and your done!
(Make a backup in Titanium backup if you don't want to or can't nandroid backup. Menu > BAtch >Backup systems data + Apps with data)
2. Download PG58DIAG for the Sensation HERE or FROM MULTIUPLOAD
3. Copy the PG58DIAG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
4. Turn off your phone Fully and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post 2 on how to get to bootloader screen)
5. Press Volume Down to Enter DIAG - Place the phone horizontally when it asks you too. (Flat)
6. Press power button to select "Clean S58 Data
7. Press power again to "clean S58 Data".
8. POW - your unlocked! Try a SIM card from a different provider!
9. Delete the file from your SD Card (Delete PG58DIAG) and REBOOT!!
Your phone Will set up for the first time, go through it all till you get to your home screen
10. Go back into recovery and restore nandroid backup. same method as step 1 above. but instead of backup, you use restore feature
(Use Titanium Backup to restore if you used it to backup instead of Nandroid backup)(Menu > Batch > Restore System Data + Apps with user data)
Now you’re free to go! Bear in mind, though, in certain circumstances you will lose your data connectivity or network signal. You’ll just need to check your APN, network type etc. and re-enter them; Just run the nandroid restore to get everything back
Thanks to Dav22. for discovery of method 1
Dazweeja for his simple Code to find the unlock
sieempi for Method 2.
Thanks to Team Revolutionary for PG58DIAG and S-off

^ what this guy said hahaha
he "unlocks" phones? and doesn't have a charger for it? are you serious LOL I would've yelled at this guy and called his BS scam. If he doesn't have a charger which is pretty much universal... why the heck is he unlocking phones?! Worse to worst, your phone actually had battery remaining in it! Unlock it yourself, I got my sensation>rooted>unlocked and I was good to go. Easy, saved myself $20 and you should too!

I did not continue because when I plug in my phone while powered off I see only "MTK65xx Preloader" and another unknown device. The unknown one disappears forever. I chose to manually install the driver for MTK65XX preloader thing with the mobileuncle one. When I reconnect it Windows still tries to install the driver. This might be because the drivers weren't properly installed.
I'm not risking it until this one is cleared up XD I know what to expect from the flash tool, but the driver installation in Windows is unclear (windows itself, not this tutorial)
Edit: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I don't know what I just did. I tried Easy Rooting Toolkit and SuperOneClick (again) and magically my phone got rooted. LOL. Dunno what happened there (other than enabling everything under "Development"). Thank you, heavens.

You can reinstall the driver again when it ask you the second time. And once the driver is not installed it will not established a connection to your phone and the flash tool will give you an error saying no device is connected. It will abort the flashing process so nothing will be flashed and all will be the same... The only thing you should be afraid of is when the yellow thing runs and you accedentally stop the process before reaching 100%. And lot of courage is needed as well. Hahaha

And the MTK65XX Preloader is the driver you need to install. When it popup dont choose search automatically, choose the other one and manually locate for the drivers youve download

Sir Jbazt_katuforzs i'm using windows 7 32bit i just can't install the preloader driver and i don't know why. Tried the exe installer and manual but still when i'm connecting it on data cable it can't find the preloader like what "kpbotbot" 's experiencing. The Manual installation is loading a modem driver for the device.

Choose the driver depending on your OS. Did the pc recognized an unknown device when you plug the phone while its off? If not the previous drivers you've installed from superoneclick and unlockroot messes the ports. Try to install it on a different pc running xp. It will only take you 5-10 mins
thanks
at last! I'm rooted! THANKS A LOT!!
thanks for this very reliable and detailed information.. got my unit rooted

hi 4trackmind,
i'm interested in the new 2.3.6 kernel. can you try the steps posted here? www symbianize com/showpost.php?p=11514350&postcount=1
there are 2 sections on that page, flashing a custom recovery image and rooting by using an update. do tell us if both sections work.

able to root
Thanks a lot i was able to root my Alcatel glory!!! next stop installing a ROM
2.3.6 and Rooted..
just want to share, i successfully rooted my OT-918N from SunCellular PH with Android 2.3.6 using the following scatter.txt and recovery.img file.
the procedure is the almost the same. skipping the loading of system.img as we are only after the custom recovery to be able to install superuser and busybox.
another thing is i set the flashtool to USB Mode instead of scanning to com ports... hope you get the same results as i did.

So this thread has to be separated in different sections:
I - How To unlock the bootloader (easy)
II - How To Hboot S-Off your Sensation, with hboot 1.27 & 1.29 it works (strange but not difficult)
III - How To Install the recovery, 2 different methods (easy or medium)
IV - How To perm Root your phone (easy)
V - How To install a custom rom on your phone (easy)
X - Any questions?
You can't miss one of this point. You must do it on the order.
I can't be held responsible for anything wrong on your device. I have done that twice and it works for me! If you have some questions, I can try to answer you, but you are responsible if you brick your phone!
Requierements​So to proceed, there is some requierements:
- Install SDK
dowload link: windows, mac, linux
- Your phone drivers must be installed. If your phone is detected and you can plug it to your computer on disk drive, it must be enough.
- Sync your contact list with your google account, and save your sms with: sms backup & restore (and place the save file on your computer)
- Factory reset your phone, this is why you must have saved everything!
Manipulations​Factory reset:
- Uncheck Fastboot
Menu / Settings / Power / Uncheck Fastboot
- Check usb debugging
Menu / Settings / Dev Options / Check Usb Debugging
- Turn off your phone
- Reboot it into bootloader
Press power & volume down
- Select Factory Reset
Article on my blog​
You can follow all instruction on the HTCDev.com website.
- Remove the battery from your phone
- Reboot on bootloader mode
- Select Fastboot
- Plug your phone to the computer
Dowload android sdk tools: windows
You must have the 3 files: adb.exe, AdbWinapi.dll & fastboot.exe
- On the coputer: Go to Start / Run.
Enter cmd
On the cmd window:
- Go to the tools folder, use this command:
cd C:/toolsfolderlocation
mine is: cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
- Enter the folowing command:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Then you must have a message like that:
Now you have to select the part starting from <<<<< Identifier .... to Token End>>>>>
Do a right click to copy.
- Then go to the htcdev.com website. You have to enter this code into the box message created to that, after having selected the unlock bootloader for your device.
PS: you must be logged in.
Then you will receive an email with a file: Unlock_code.bin
- Download this file, it is different for each device.
- Place it into the same folder than previously use, with fastboot.exe, adb.exe...
- Go back to the cmd windows and enter this command:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
A new screen has appeared on your phone, you have to select yes with the volume button and press power.
CONGRATULATIONS, your device has now an unlocked bootloader!
Article on my blog​
This article has been writing to explain you exactly how to pass your HTC Sensation / XE / 4G to Hboot S-Off. I have succeeded to do that with hboot 1.27.xxxx & 1.29.xxxx.
There is no any reason for not working! But this manipulation is strange, because you have to use a cable to connect the sdcard to a special hole! I haven't done that before, but it works!
You can also follow this article with the video!
So before doing this How To, you must have done the previous One:
How To Unlock the Bootloader
Let's Go:
- Uncheck Fastboot
Menu / Settings / Power / Uncheck Fastboot
- Check USB debugging
Menu / Settings / Dev Options / Check Usb Debugging
- Download the temproot-sensation-windows file: Download link
- Unzip this file into a folder on your computer
- Run the temp_root.bat, your phone must be connected by HTC Sync
your phone must reboot
- Download the ControlBear for Juopunut: MOD-Edit: Link removed on Developers Request. No rehosting allowed by him. Please link to Developers xda-thread or not at all
Thanks to http://unlimited.io
Main page: http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm (you must use it to download
- Extract it and run the controlbear.exe
THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT OPERATION. Be quiet, patient, and take your time, it's difficult to succeed in only one time.
You must watch the video at 6:15 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwEbh_JsI8
- Take a cable,
- Remove the back from your phone, you must unplug your phone to do that.
If the computer wait for the device, remove the battery then restart your phone and plug it to the computer.
The video is an easier way to see how to do.
You must be patient and have a screen like that on your phone:
And on your computer the cmd command with:
Do not remove sdcard from phone
Do wire-trick now!! Check the instructions at http://unlimited.io
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You must do the wire-trick
Press the cable on the sdcard protection during 0.5sec, release during 1.75sec press again during 0.5sec.
2 possibilities:
It doesn't work:
1 - Your phone do not restart. Try again
2 - Your phone restart, but stay on the same Juopunut Bear screen. You have an Error Code.
Close the cmd command and run the controlbear.exe again
It works:
Your phone restart and you have this two different screens:
​
- Press Y and enter to accept
You can now see the S-Off on your phone when you restart it on Bootloader mode!
We now have to remove the temp root!
- Restart your phone
- Go to the folder extracted before: Temproot Sensation Windows
- Plug your phone to your computer
- Run the temp_root_remove.bat
Some commands are launched & your phone restart
Your phone is Now S-Off
You can now Flash the recovery!
Method 1
Method 2
Article on my blog​
If you have followed the previous How To, you must, because they are necessary to continue with this one, you must know I have done it twice. Once with the Sensation XE and the over one with the Sensation.
I have succeed to unlock bootloader and SOff twice with the same method. But I haven't been able to flash the recovery on the Sensation with the same method than the one used for the Sensation XE!
So I have to show you 2 different means to do that.
The first one is my favorite because you understand what you do. The second one is easier because you use a tool!
Method 1​- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Restart your phone on fastboot mode.
- Plug your phone to the computer.
- Open the cmd windows on your computer:
Start / run / cmd
- Copy & paste the file downloaded into the tools folder containing the fastboot.exe...
- On the cmd command go the the location to the recovery
mine is: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
So the command is: cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
Then, enter this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
This command means: I want to flash by the fastboot a recovery named: recovery-clock....
You must see on the cmd 2 times OKAY
If this method failed, you can try the second one.
Now you can use the recovery, try it!
To use it:
Volume up: up arrow
Volume down : down arrow
Power : enter
Method 2​- Download KGS Utility v6.6 attached to the xda thread
- Connect your phone on HTC Sync
- Run menu.bat On KGS Utility
- Choose Install 4Ext Recovery (number3)
- Then Choose 0
- You want to proceed so press 1
- You device is the only on the list 1
- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Rename it by recovery.img
- Move this file to: KGS_Utility_v6.6/tools
- On cmd press a key to continue
Your device must reboot on fastboot mode
Now, you must have twice OKAY on your computer screen!
You can now follow the next how to: To root your HTC Sensation!
Article on my blog​
- Download the file: su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (new link 10 - 05 -2013)
- Place this file on your device
- Restart on Fastboot mode
- Select recovery
When the recovery is running
Select:
- Install from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
Go to the place where the file is located
- selected it
- Confirm by Yes
Now your phone is rooted
Enjoy to Install a custom rom
I MUST FINISH IT SOON, I am so tired right now
Also I have to change pictures by correct sizes and links to big sizes
Enjoy this part!
If you follow the video, you can do everything alone
Be patient, be quiet and Enjoy!
Flow.
great share!Thanks for your work!
heh why temp root for HTC-DEV unlocked soff process ? root will be much better ..as they can ignore removing temp root again ..after SOFF ..for root (works for both SOFF and HTC-DEV unlock) they can use my one-click -root tool (present in the soff guide ..link in my signature ...it basically uses the temp root method only then flashes the required root files then removes temp root ) ..just a single click of root.bat (also you can include this a final root alternative ..as this requires no recovery )
EDIT: also ppl who have their motherboards replaced ..were unable to do HTC-DEV unlock due to IMEI changes ...so in that case the general soff method wont work ..and hyuh(aka globatron ..one of dev of juopunutbear) is kind enough to release another version of controlbear..which just works with temp root ..and my guide covered that ...so in this case you can either redirect them to my guide (link in my signature) or you can use that info and add another sub-section here
EDIT2: also as for recovery ..if 4EXT there is the easiest way of installing it ..i.e doing root using my root tool and by using the recovery_updater.apk/reeocovery_controller.apk (the latter is in play store ) ..check the 4EXT thread for more info regarding the apk's

great guides for everyone who just buy a new sensation, like how great your rom review video
Thanks! Worked perfect. S-off on my 1.27.000 bootloader. Anyone nervous about trying it...it's not that bad at all. You might have to do the wire trick like 20 times, but it will work.

Boot into hboot and fastboot flash the recovery using ADB. You also need to have a ROM on your SD card that you can flash after you install the recovery.

this is the answer for both of you gentlemen:
-firmware ics saga is over 400 mb in size
-you can get it from htc dev web site
-it is an < EXE > file
-you start it on the pc ( by double clicking the icon ),
with your phone connected ( wired) in fastboot mode,
-you need to have htc drivers installed (pc )

you can flash RUU, if done properly, you`ll be able to boot the system,
and then all else...
Three questions first:
0.is your device carrier locked ( branded )
1. do you know exactly the system version your device is running at the moment?
2. are you able to reboot in to bootloader?
3.have you installed fastboot and adb drivers yet?
Now if these three ( 1.2.3. ) questions are answered < yes >
we- i belive - can help you to revive your phone

ANSWER:
0. I dont know that mate, but its doesnt mattew will be lockder or not, i just want to Turn it on, because phone is not mine
1. I dont know what version is runing on this devices, while his working
2. If you ask me whether I am able to: when I hold volume down + power we go mode, and then choose fastboot, and then show me the red "fastboot usb" and down below says Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. I hope I've given you the answer.
3. I installed HTC Sync and fastboot and adb.
Then i have downloaded this RUU. "RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe"
And when I run RUU which I removed, attach cell phone, put it in the "fastboot usb" and continue with the RUU, get me "Image version 1.47.401.4 and below we provide the option to update, when I click on the update says" From 1.47.401.4, it 2.10.401.8. Then click next and next again, then it says Checking ...... and rebooting to bootloader .............. And that is more than 10 minutes and nothing happens, mob still standing in that mode in which a man stood "Fastboot USB" and the like, and an application does not pass "rebooting to bootloader": (
firstly, you may uninstall ( or disable ) HTCsync
but you must not uninstall its driver...
during removing the program, uninstaller will ask
whether you wish to leave the driver on the system,-
accept it (leave the driver installed as it is)
1.reboot the phone to bootloader - yourself,
2.connect to pc, let the system invoke and install
the device ( android bootloader interface, or android device)
you may check whether it went right in < computer manager >
and try again to run the RUU...

I removed the HTC SYNC. Drivers were left on the computer.
Again I started RUU, and again the same thing. Stops at "rebooting to Bootloader". When I run cmd and enter "fastboot devices" its show a number of my device, so i mean they have conection with pc.

Ok. I doo what you say. I runn the RUU without the phone attached at cable, and wait to get this error message.
And than Start>Run> %temp% and i got a lot of folders, but i Search for that what name and time is 04.06.2013, and time is 10:34. And open that folder, but folder is empty.
I've done it yesterday to make sure it is not crap I'm telling you
and it works...
Try I again,
Make sure you do not close RUU installer window,
rom.zip is only temp file and is gone when you exit the program...
If you wouldn't find it,
try windows search for in that folder ( %temp% )
(You may also try another ruu )
Sorry mate my bad, i have close the program before I search for rom.zip file. I have found it its 334mb.
Now I can not understand what is meant when you say "place on the root of your phone` s sdcard "to copy to the SD card normally, or do I need to create a" root "folder, and so on?

When someone says put on root of sdcard, it just means Not in a folder.
So, rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG
and put it on ur sdcard (not in a folder ) boot into bootloader and bootloader will find PG88IMG and ask to update. select yes and wait for it to finish

EDIT!
ITS WORKING. Problem is that I rename a file in PG88IMG.zip. and now i delete .zip, its just a PG88IMG, and he ask me "Do you want to start update" Vol up - Yes, Vol- down- no. I press vol up, and now i see Updating text in pink color. I hope to finish this procedure
How long should the update take?
1 Bootloader - Updating . So it stands at about 25 min and nothing moves.

This slight difference doesn't make it worthy a new thread.
This is called copying, it's 99% the same.
+ It's not clear and organized for an "easy" tutorial.

Well... As I said already to Karim Kahale before. SmartFlash make more problems than good stuff. I know that LGFlashTools is a bit more complicated but it do much better and clean job. Take a look here. Your threat is the same like Karim Kahale one just with another bin file. You have not opportunity to use large partition, the rom is not Rooted, 90% of the cases you end up with lost IMEI... so you end up with much more work to do.
this topic for a realistic experience
