Hi,
A kernel is like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Place the kernel on the root of your sd card,
Make a nandroid backup,
Wipe your cache and dalvik,
Flash kernel like a ROM.

You should do Lil research dude use the search key it is the heart if Android there is a lot if info out there but it depends in your room and if you want to overclock

I'm also not entirely clear on this neither despite looking arnd the noob section.
But do I have to flash the kernel seperately from the custom Rom? Does it not have it included in the Rom package?

Hi,
A custom ROM will have a kernel included.
This can be changed anytime after you have installed the ROM.

Sensation almost 100% bricked.. devs help needed

Hi guys, i got almost dead phone in mine hands and I really want to try to give it a new life.
I dont know all what was done to it before, but it was soft bricked, then few people tried to recover and bricked it even more, then in SC it was disassembled with no success, and now i have it.
What is working:
1. i can get here -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. theres no recovery on phone, no at all, also all partitions are clean and broken, but i can boot cwm with "fastboot boot" command
3. from cwm i can get to root shell in busybox with "adb shell"
4. fdisk on /deb/block/mmcblk0 fails and nowhting happens
5. in recovery any action with internal memory fails with error that can't mount /deb/block/mmcblk0p** (** are numbers for different partitions)
6. flashing from bootloader with PG58IMG.zip hangs on writing and nothing happens
all internal partitions are broken somehow, they fail to mount, and can't be written on, is there ANYTHING that can be done?
Please help me guys

Anyway its bricked so try to flash 1.17 bootloader you r already S-off then try to unlock bootloader via htcdev. Then flash gingerbread RUU if it start working there is nothing wrong to try you won't loose anything because its already bricked.

If your phone has S-ON (Security ON) then you cannot flash a RUU unless it has the same CID (Career ID) as your phone, in your case it seems that RUU is for another brand
otherwise if it is S-OFF then you can change your CID to 11111111 which gives you the ability to flash any RUU you want !

What's meant by a full wipe?

Hi.
I'm very new to flashing roms and such. I managed to get my Xe to the state I can flash roms and was hoping to flash CM10. The guide says I must perform a 'full wipe' but depending where I read I get different answers. I'm currently running 4.0.3 stock.
Could some one list how this would be done using Ext4 recovery touch. Thanks

I shall reboot into recovery now and check for you.
Full wipe generally means format everything except SD card

First page you want Wipe / Format
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the second to bottom option,
Press ok and it will perform a full wipe

Odd, the images are really low quality even though in galary they are full quality, any way, the instructions should help

Cheers mate I'll give it a go later. Thanks for your help.

When I use 4ext a full wipe is wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data factory reset, then install Rom. Make sure and always do a nandroid backup before any installation incase you get in a pinch you can restore your old Rom.

Looks like a firmware update?
Currently I have 3.33.401.53
Not shure what to do, as the phone is s-off and rooted.
Will this update affect s-off or root?

S-off i dont know but You Will loose root. You can try root keeper
Envoyé depuis mon HTC Sensation Z710e avec Tapatalk

i would say dont do it as there is a chance of loosing s-off but u will loose root 100%

you will not loose S-OFF
also i don't think that the update will have affect after installing
but if you loose root after the installation just simply flash supersu zip from recovery

U will not loose s off . . .

Ok, tried the update, but it wants to boot into the stock recovery. Which I do not have . Instead of that its boots into trwp recovery and from there, nothing.
It seems I will only be able to succeed when I install the stock recovery?
So, I might as well skip this ota.
Thanks for the support:thumbup:
