This ain't gonnna work for xl
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda premium

i figured out how to use it! the reason it doesnt work on bricked htc devices is because when i bricked my sxl you still need a partition that cannot be whiped that can recieve data from usb input, luckily samsung has download mode, therefore making it almost impossible to big brick

Call whoever you bought it from, tell them it wont turn on and follow the troubleshooting steps they tell you, however, don't tell them you rooted it. If none of their troubleshooting techniques work, I dont want to be the one to say this but.. you might be screwed. :/
Thanks I will try this I've tried the shorting pins 7 & 8 but it only comes on as a Google fast boot devices on the computer and FDWN won't recognize it :/ any tips on this??

Deleted stock dialer-no service

My freind is a huge n00b and he rooted his US Cellular LG Genesis with Gingerbreak. He got exdialer so he thought he can delete the stock dialer, but since he did that the phone has no.service... He has no backup for that stock dialer or a nandroid, and the phone is on stock 2.2.2, so if anyone has an lg stock dialer apk from 2.2.2 it might be helpful, and if anyone has any other ideas I'll be happy to hear them.
Thx,
Aryeh

Well, to avoid future troubles, tell him about how to make nandroid backups or how to use titanium backup before attempting anything specially for such delicate thing like system/apps
I guess you could just borrow that apk but... if problems persists, he will have to reinstall with *somethig like * kies / odín the stock rom he used to have!

I guess you could just borrow that apk but i strongly recommend you a factory reset you could find that at
Settings -> Privacy settings -> Factory data reset
You will lose of course all of your data in apks numbers contacts etc so make a backup for those :fingers-crossed:

yeah sorry, thats why i edited my answer :silly:
im assuming it's dialertab.apk, right? and... is his rom deodexed? (or does it have .odex files along with each apk)
i'll see what i can do
Its odexed and kies and odin are both for samsung phones and his Phone is lg, and i tried searching online for the stock rom file but i couldn't find it anywhere, i guess the phone ain't popular enough..

yeah, there is practically not much development for it... thought a friend had one to borrow that but he didn't
you could ask one them, that actually have one and rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651211
they'll have to extract both dialer tab + corresponding odex file, and you have to place it right back to system/app, set perms and reboot
i know the feel, just like me back then when i bought my Ace M
The phone.odex is still there but ill try pm'ing somebody on that thread
And btw i don't know the feel cuz its my friends phone and he doesn't even know how to post on xda Lol...
I know better not to delete stuff like that w/o backup.... Im just trying to help the poor guy which has no service for the last few hours...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk 2
I actually deleted my stock dialer as well as i thought i wouldn't need it. I do not and have never used my android for calls. However, after deletion, i had the error "unfortunately phone stopped working" which popped up every second and made my phone nearly unusable. I was rooted and had a file manager with access to sensitive program files (of course...or i wouldn't be here). I factory reset but the error didn't go away. Three days i tried everything. Then, i went into system files-priv app-lgteleservice.apk (which had the dialer icon) and downloaded it manually. It worked! The apk was on my phone the entire time. Hope this helps someone else.

[Q] 1 week old HTC One X + bricked...?

Hi everyone...
I got a problem with my HTC One X +.
I'm from the Netherlands and wanted to play Generation of Chaos on my HTC.
But i coulnt play it because the HTC needed it to be rooted.
So from here it all started.
I started to try and do All-In-One Kit 2.1 But i coulnt get a token or something...
Well so i went on and got the ROOTBOOTV5.
I tried to install it but it failled to find my phone.
So i gave up... But when i starting to use my phone again i saw that the wi-fi coulnt go on anymore.
I resetted it to the factory settings and then my phone got stuck @ starting screen ( HTC quietly brilliant)
If i want to hard reset it my phone goes to Team Win Recovery Project...
Also it cant detect my phone with usb on Hboot it says:
Failed to open usb master mode..
Please help me out guys!
Im a noob @ this stuff so thats why its bricked...
Also my English isnt that great.
Thanks in advance!!
Um.... The play store's description for tthis game says there ARE issues with rooted devices, NOT that you HAVE to be rooted.

Really, why do you need to be rooted, even if you want to play warez? Just... I just can not understand you.

[Q] Flashing kernel from recovery

Since I'm stuck on Windows 8.1 Blue preview I'm unable to use fastboot, so I've done a bit of googling.
I found this utility from the HTC One forums which apparently works for Qualcomm devices only, so surely it should work for us?
Anyway I'll go and test it and will report back, but I just wanted to say, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP FASTBOOT/ADB WORKING, DON'T UPDATE TO WINDOWS BLUE
EDIT: I've read further and it seems like the mmcblk0p for the utility may be different for the Desire X. I'll check it out.
I asked for some more information on the thread you found and will see if it's possible making this working for our device.
cheers mate, it sure would make life a lot easier for noobs.... and those fallen into the Windows 8.1 trap
Nopes,
doesnt work. just tried.
I'm pretty sure you'd need s-off to flash kernels from recovery

Yes, you are right.
Actually there is some write protection rights which do not let anything run from recovery partition to write on boot partition. However, it is not completely related to S-OFF.
However, My bro had HTC explorer low end phone. It had S-ON and still they could flash boot img from recovery without any issues.
HTC is unpredictable these days.
But why does it work for HTC One then?

must be an exploit. Or HTC are licking the feet of their prime flagship customers. Thats actually quite unfair why they make strange decisions.
Sense lite, removing HTC swipe, JB 4.1.1 STILL, and many shady decisions are the reason why they dont have many more years as a big company. Shame. They were the pioneers and now the chasing pack.

This. There not the same company they used to be and after the experiences with the last two phones I'll be switching permanently to a Sony Flagship device when I get the chance

My remaining days are limited with the Desire X, I'm buying a Nexus 4 in the next month. But I will still help with testing and everything. This will allow my Desire X to be a full testing device and I don't need to worry about bricking

[Q] Unbrick HTC Sensation XL with Ubuntu

Hey guys! Since yesterday I have a big problem. Yesterday I think I deleted my Sensation XL, because now it's dead. The bootloader and the Charge-LED dont work anymore. No sign of life...:crying: Now I saw the tutorial how to unbrick a HTC. I downloaded Ubuntu, but if I use the brickdetect of the Sensation it just says: "Device can't be detected".
Now my questions:
Where can I get the Unbrick-package for the Sensation XL? Can I unbrick my Sensation XL with Ubuntu?
I hope someone can help!
Thanks!
your Danny
Not that I know of, there are a few htcs that are part of the unbricking project and those have potential but you'd have to google search or check your phones forum to see if its part of it
Most often though jtag is your only option if you have no bootloader

Dannyrose1993,
My sensation xl also won't charge, no led and no boot load screen or anything. Its completely dead. You mentioned about using eMMC software download. And your phone is in download mode. Can you explain me how to use eMMC software download. Its been a month I have been searching for its solution. Did you have further luck resolving the issue?
Thanks
