HTCdev
I'm planning to unlock my sensation's bootloader with HTCdev and then remove bloatwares. After the process, my phone would still remain S-ON right? So I will have no problem installing OTA updates in the future? I'd like to stick with the stock ROM and remain S-ON for a while. Are there any drawbacks in doing this?
One more thing, my sensation is Hongkong version and I don't see that in HTCdev's list. Should I choose Sensation(EU) or "Any other supported models?"
Thanks

Why not just go for revolutionary? Same result without affecting your warranty in any way. Just as easy to s-on. You don't have to install custom rom, you can just root and remove bloatware. You will not be able to receive ota on custom recovery,but nothing stops you from rooting, removing bloatware, reflashing stock recovery, and receiving ota.

Thanks for the quick reply
So removing bloatwares is easier via revolutionary compared to HTCdev? Any brick risks? So the steps should be :
1. S-OFF
2. Root
3. Remove bloatwares
4. Flashing stok recovery
5. S-ON
Did I miss anything? So by the end of it, I would have S-ON and unrooted device, minus the bloatwares?
Correct. But you might want to keep s-off just in case, for the future. S-ON if you send it for repair.

i Flash the 3.12 firmware that is for the Rom RCMix ICE v3.2.5 and then the rom with 4ext but i keep getting reboots
Have you tried using a different kernel such as bricked, Trinity, or sebastion?

Seems like a foolish thing to ask but, i'm using a AOSP ROM and i just can not find the settings to connect to WiFi, i can not find where i can view WiFi in range.
Error
Hey Guys,
got a little Problem with the TMO Europe RUU.
I have to go back to Stock due to a warrenty issue. Thus I wanted to do this with the above mentioned RUU.
I first was on ICS with new 3.25 firmware. So i went back to old 3.12 FW and the 1.17 HBOOT. After that I installed the ARHD 4.x.x
When I now try to update it says update from 2.0.8,... to 1.45
but when it about to Start there is this 155~159 Error which says that it is not the right RUU
My Sensation was shipped with TMO Branding thats the reason why i tried it with this RUU
Can someone help me please

kernels, undervolting
Hi
I'm wondering what is the best free solution for improving battery life and performance, with undervolting and dynamic control of processor frequency?
Currently I'm running DarkForest 5.1.0 (Android 4.0.3, Sense 3.6), firmware 3.25.401.101, kernel 3.0.16-g5e58c5e, baseband 11.68.3504.00P_11.21.3504.12_2.
I've tried CPU Tuner, which is very nice software, but doesn't allow for undervolting. Should I just install an undervolted kernel and stick with this software, or is there another software for controlling the voltage levels?
Can anyone recommend kernels/software for this purpose? I haven't done anything with kernels yet, so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

You need to supercid to flash RUU with lower hboot version. Step 4 in the guide in development forum.
@atb001
As I don't use anything like that, I can't help you here, hopefully someone will.

Sent you saying you are already supercid? If yes, repeat process just in case, as quite a few people had their supercid reset somehow.

106Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs or silly questions is tolerated here!

There is no way you can FAQ everything and to keep FAQ up to date is pain in the ass. Treat this thread as a chat.6Yeah good idea.
We must rember, we were all noobs once.
And we do get a lot of stick and crappy comments at noobs.
I will help out all i can hear.6Post # 5000
This thread is huge, thanks to all of you who have been part of this helpful and very informative project and have shared your knowledge and experience to us.

Hi! to succesfully flash the jb animations you need to follow this steps:
- Download the jb animations .zip from here
- place it on your sd card
- reboot your device on recovery mode
Note: I've used 4ext recovery touch as a reference to the following steps, but you can use whichever custom recovery you want - tap on "mounts | storage"
- tap on "mount /system"
- press back
- tap on "wipe | format > "wipe cache + dalvik"
- press back
- tap on "install from sd card" and choose the jb animations.zip you've downloaded
- reboot device
- enjoy
