Just purchased my Sensation yesterday, returned the Evo 3D due to the fail Sprint signal everywhere and the joke WiMAX lol...sup everyone
[HTC Sensation] sikkboy626:
I really appreciate these guys putting in so much time for everyone! I'm dying to get a vanilla Nexus-like stock ROM onto my Sensation. I really an starting to hate Sense. I hope Faux brings one of his hybrid roms to this phone.

Well aren't you sweet.. lol
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Same. South Florida here. Dropped signals for the first time in about 7 years. I said screw this.

Unfortunately since I bounced right BACK to T-Mobile, even though I had been out of contract w/ them for 4 years, the system treats me as a new activation. I have to wait 30 days supposedly for them to offer me a handset upgrade. (At least that's what one CSR said... I'll press it as much as I can. I got used to the power of the EVO so I want my Sensation NAOOOOO.)

This not an IRC channel! If you want to chit chat go somewhere else, not in the dev section and especially in this forum. People come here every day to look for news about fr3vo and fr3dom and all they can see is your chit chat instead. Read thr fu.....ing rules!

Has anyone tested Fre3vo with the new OTA update from today?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
It's the same as the leaked rom, guess it just got official then :)

Edit: I'm running the leaked from a week ago, and root is working on mine :)
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Update? What update? I've heard about an update but have yet to see one. I checked on the phone...nothing to be had.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Carriers push out updates systematically, probably didn't hit your phone yet.
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Yeah, I know. I'm T-Mobile USA so that's a good a reason as any that I haven't seen anything. :rolleyes:

I get "The exploit has failed." Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Cola-Wodka:
I got the update for German Vodafone branded Sensation (1.35.162.1). Its 28.14 MB.
[HTC Sensation] elektrownik:
Interesting, different build number, still s-on ?
[HTC Sensation] unCoRrUpTeD:
Do you get anything when you type

adb devices

If you did then try rebooting the phone with fastboot disabled.

Try running the exploit again.

I have had that error, but was still rooted.

get back into adb shell

do you see a "#" or "$".

The "#" means you have root.
[HTC Sensation] rogermiet:
I also got this message. I would not update until we know if it is a "save" update.

Any idea how to find out if it has the "s-off" feature?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Same build number the 162 is the vendor id
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
It's the same as the leaked rom
[HTC Sensation] rogermiet:
Safe or not safe?
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
I've read that temp root still works but not tried it myself
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
I've just installed the OTA for vodafone branded sensation and fr3vo works just fine. Also the bloatware remains disabled..
[HTC Sensation] rogermiet:
Yea, that's it.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
I'm not going to risk locking myself out of possible Fre3Dom :p So not going to update (even if it is out for Vodafone UK)
[HTC Sensation] falsinho:
Yap. i made the OTA update too, fr3vo is working good. The bloatware is disabled too. The phone is optimized. :D
[HTC Sensation] wayde187:
There is always that one cry baby. Great work guys. Im going to wait for perm root and s-off and then this biznatch will be smokin.
[HTC Sensation] legioncwe:
I'm going to wait for full root/s-off before messing with my phone, but I wanted to say thanks for all the hard work :) this is very exciting news indeed.
[HTC Sensation] lothos88:
great news

Awesome news :) I'm getting a bit tired of the Sense UI and want my Cyanogen back. Though I do like the contact lookup in Sense, that's about the only thing I like and overall it's laggy as hell and has to reload the UI at least twice a day after doing normal things.

Keep up the good work TeamWin!

Not available yet for me (UK Vodafone), but should we install it when it does become available? I know there are reports that it doesn't stop the temp-root Fre3vo script, but does anyone know if it removes the vulnerability that Fre3dom will be using?
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
I don't think there's any way to know. I wouldn't accept any OTAs myself; the EVO Shift people have been blocked out from previous s-off options due to OTAs.

Stay stock!
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
What exactly is the purpose of temp root? Other than being able to remove bloatware.
[HTC Sensation] TheOne741:
Niiiice! Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
We need temp root before we can get s-off
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
When the G2 was first rooted we only had temp and we were able to overclock and load custom roms from the sdcard
[HTC Sensation] drew_grant:
Would a huge donation expedite the process?:) If that's what it takes I'm sure everyone will throw some cash your way. I'm dying of root withdrawals!

[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL @ "Angry Birds" can't believe that game is so popular...
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Excellent news, thanks agrabren. I'm guessing someone is going to give you guys access to a Sensation?

I know there is at least one person with a Sensation on these forums who lives in Austin, and who said he would be willing to help. Not to give you his device, but certainly to let you test on it when he is there.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
+1

As a former Evo 4g owner(just had my Sensation 2 days ago) i have nothing but respect and admiration for teamwin.I'm so glad that teamwin is giving our beloved Sensation some ROOT love.

Can't wait for the day i'm able to say "I HAZ ROOTZ" :D!

[HTC Sensation] jmcghee1973:
My question would be.. "Do you have a leaked ota for TMO?"
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
A few updates:

File under rumour from Sprint: 2.3.4 patch for GV video has an unlocked bootloader. Maybe fre3vo^2 is the way to go until an official drop?

Sensation users: Fear not, there's still the "No Sensation Users Left Behind" act. Our OTA may be hackable to work on the sensation, too.

Not halting Fre3Dom dev, but putting more effort in Fre3vo^2 for few days. Rather HTC unlock over attacking radio. See: ChevronWP7 fiasco

Not sure what GV video is?
[HTC Sensation] DomSim:
google voice video. its googel video chat
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Aha, wonder how imminant it is, if the rumours are true, although at the going rate with updates I don't think the Sensation will see 2.3.4 at the same time.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
It's google talk video chat.
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Hello sensation people,

I picked mine up today and im running 1.28 software version.

I get a message to update to 1.35.

Should i do this or are you making the s-off for 1.28 base.

Not sure but ota cpuld update the bootimage sp i ask before i screw myself and have to wait longer when s-off is found

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
I recieved the update and fr3vo works just fine. The security hole that allowed teamwin to give us temproot is still there :)
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
I wouldnt update anything right now!!!!

I would hate to be S.O.L when Fre3dom comes out Oh wait i will still have Temp root... HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Again I would Hold off theres really no need to update anything right now If your waiting for s off After Fre3dom and or Fre3vo^2 come out and then let some dumb **** do it and see what happens
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
First of all the FOTA is the same as the leaked 1.35 RUU and does not apply any changes to the bootloader. Fr3vo works just fine. Agrabren said via twitter that he is currently waiting for htc to release S-off. Anyway you can do whatever you want, it's your device. The FOTA made my phone run better but this is not the thread to talk about it. Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
The exploit isn't even in the bootloader...
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
No one said The exploit was in Bootloader

Eugene373s Perma-Temp-Root

http://forum.androidspin.com/showth...e-Dissappearing-SU-Binary..?p=22493#post22493

So Eugene373 apparently got a Sensation and decided to do some work (I'm just copying and pasting (I'm also uber noobzor)):

Thanks goes to #TeamWin for Temp Root!!!

Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!

So after digging around somewhat I found an over sight that HTC might use later for system updates via /vendor/bin, who knows at this point though... Anyways, after amount of time the SU Binary along with busybox links if be in system/bin or /system/xbin gets deleted / removed..

Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..

Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..

Other than Reboot, it might as well be a Perma-Temp-Root!!

This is For Windows only, if you wish to make it work for linux or mac help your self...

If you have trouble with the Superuser.apk, uninstall first & reboot then run the .bat file again..

What is installed?

Busybox w/ symlinks

Superuser.apk

SU Binary

Fre3vo

sqlite3

What's Removed?

slackerradio.apk

TMOUS_Navigator.apk

Transfer-pyramid-8.30.0.26-S30.apk

Protips.apk

IdleScreen_Stock.apk

HtcTipWidget.apk

com.htc.TrendsWidget.apk

com.mobitv.client.tmobiletvhd.apk

FusionStockWidget.apk

Stock.apk

So without further ado, the link!

http://www.multiupload.com/LBEYIFVD58

Once Downloaded, Unzip & double click on the Run_ME_fre3vo_Root.bat File & Enjoy long lasting Root!
[HTC Sensation] n.l.holman:
Whoa! Thanks, going to get test this out right now!

EDIT: I guess it's still a little buggy as I did lose SU when I rebooted (I was going off of the above post which was thought to be semiperm-temp root.) Still, very useful as it includes superuser that seems fine. Am currently testing it out with a variety of apps and will report back which ones are seeming to work.

EDIT (again): Whoops! I guess I should have read above more carefully as it says "Other than Reboot..."
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Step by step we are getting closer.CAN NOT WAIT to flash my first custom Rom.

Kudos to all the great devs who are working hard to liberate our beloved Sensation.Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks eugene, I think you should give this its own thread so it doesn't get lost in this thread, this is the first fre3vo.bat file ive tried that actually last and all my root apps work with.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Does it actually delete those listed apks or just disable them like we're used to?
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
The commands in the bat file when I ran it were rm commands which is to actually remove the apk file but that part of the bat failed because those files are protected but his root script worked perfectly, stable temp root.
[HTC Sensation] kingguff:
good to see you over here. Here's hoping sergio follows suit and cooks up coredroid for the sensation too.
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Yep he will.

Already spoke with him to say i should stop betateam as i dont have desire hd anymore but he told me he also ownes the sensation so i moved from dhd beta team to sensation beta team.

Now only a nice way to get s-off so we can play
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Has anyone noticed that when you run Fre3vo if you look at your homescreen on the bottom there is a digital colored rainbow line along the bottom of the lcd screen? It only happens until Fre3vo finishes running. I think the dev mentioned something about finding the exploit in the video drivers so I'm sure that's something to do with it.
[HTC Sensation] kingguff:
thats great news. My misses has a sensation but said she will swap with me cause its wasted on her cause she only ever calls and sends sms. But i was reluctant to leave coredroid behind, so it looks like the swap is on. Thanks for the info mate
[HTC Sensation] :
Didn't really wanna make a new thread and seeing as all the other threads are locked now, I'll post here.

Today I had a phone call and the guy said he was from htc and calling me regarding the sensations locked bootloader. He asked me if I was happy with the phone, blah zay blah. After a minute he told me that the sensation was to far in development to ship it unlocked. He said that they were going to unlock the 3 htc phones that were just released (sensation, 3d and touch).

He said he doesn't have a exact date but he wanted to call me to assure me it would be unlocked in the future.

Hopefully this will give some more hope for s-off in the future.

Thanks for reading and a special thanks to the guys working hard atm for all of us on fre3vo or whatever they're working on. :)

yeah but i've also been told we'll have hover cars and unlimited clean energy "in the future."

I find it funny that people post something trying to give others details and info. Yet the other members knock it, roll eyes and post bs about off topic stuff (hover cars). I posted that to offer some info on htc calling me. I figured maybe it would show others that at least htc is calling people with concern.

Easy killers.... The hover car thing was kinda on topic, as someone equated an s-off bootloader to the myth of hover cars. I gave thanks to the person who gave the update from HTC regarding the Asian OTA drop, so I am not sure why they're so bent of shape...

We are all excited here, lets not let a little humor ruin this thread. We're all on the same team, lets just chill.

I just received a response from HTC about my e-mail to them regarding the locked bootloader. It still seems like a semi-canned response but it's a bit different then what others have received so I thought I'd share.

"Dear Jason,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at HTC Jason. We understand your concern about the locked bootloaders. I agree that our phone should and always should be open sourced. The modding community takes up a big chunk of our HTC family.

We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative.

Peter's statement on Bootloader "There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.

We currently don’t have a schedule yet, but stay tuned; we will let you know via through our official website and official social media outlets.

As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 6am to 1am EDST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 11USCW28ENA003352.

Sincerely,

Brian

HTC"

Obviously no dates given and they're sticking to the "stay tuned" statements, but he did at least address my statements about the Android modding community and how we are the ones who make device recommendations to our friends/family.
[HTC Sensation] mixmaven:
So Peter Chou is going to unlock my bootloader, an unknown relative died in Kenya and left me $44.5M, and I may have already won $10M dollars in the publishers clearinghouse sweepstakes! How lucky could I be? [end sarcasam]

You would think that as powerful of a man as Peter Chou is, with all the resources of HTC behind him, he could easily produce an unlock mechanisim for the Sensation and Evo 3D. But no.
