[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
If only we could flash the ENG H-BOOT with temp root eh :(

Hope they get S-OFF working. Can't get Superuser or Titanium Backup to working currently, even using method from EVO 3D thread.

Will have to wait a bit longer I guess :( Sad times
[HTC Sensation] j2kquest:
I got titanium working using that method, but it doesn't hold....and I think if u kill all using task manager Titanium stops working
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i hope to :(
[HTC Sensation] nljelmer:
It doen'st work :(

Is my ADB corrupt? It finds my device but not the file.

EDIT:

About phone > Software information > Software Number : 1.28.401.1
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Is the fre3vo file in the folder where the adb.exe is?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Well, mine is working, and it's nice to have temp root. But currently, we can't really do much with the temp root :p
[HTC Sensation] nljelmer:
Ye, it is! :/

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Your screenshot shows that you are working in C:\Users\jelmer, is there another adb.exe? If so, the fre3vo file has to be there (unzipped). If not: I have no clue :D
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
You need to move to that folder, and THEN run adb. Then it will work :)
[HTC Sensation] drew_grant:
I guess I should've mentioned that I have a Mac. But thanks for the help regardless!
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Very very thanks. As shown below, I have succeeded?
[HTC Sensation] drew_grant:
I have a Mac so that won't work for me but I figured out what the issue was and now I have temp root or at least I think I do. Everything worked fine: adb automatically got killed and I remounted and there is a # instead of a $. But now I'm assuming that because this is a temp root, I can't use any root required applications?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
I couldn't get the point of using Titanium Backup right now:D
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
yes, you have.
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Y don't we all chip in and buy teamwin a Sensation or two? Give us somewhere to donate too and before u know it im sure there will be enough to hit up criagslist or eBay
[HTC Sensation] forelli:
If I understand, it works on S-ON phones?

Sent from the Dark Side using Sith mastery of The Force and my Galaxy S2
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
I'm guessing some just want to backup and restore their data apps right. I can't see any other use. I didn't root yet to see though.
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
Yup. Most of us are on. when Fre3dom comes, we will have s-off. In due time tho.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
This will give us temp root on our S-ON Sensations. Is that your question?
[HTC Sensation] forelli:
Thanks for your answer, I will tjen buy a Sensation on Monday and try it. Will change my sig too ;-)

Excellent Tutorial

Excellent youtube video to install free3vo!! (Temproot)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t9AXZWcFQU

(Thanks to Chris19145)
[HTC Sensation] lezouave:
That is precisely how the OP said it would work, in the op.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
wait wait im confused, i see people here with temp root and all but do our phones get temp root with this or what ?.. i see people from the evo here ... well just tell me if this works on our phones
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
it works good
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Surely does!!

I keep getting the error message:

'adb server is out of date. killing.....'

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I am running Win7 x64

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I do too.. i would ignore it!! Even after updating the whole thing via sdk manager.. i still get that message!

as long as it recognises your device, you are good to go!
[HTC Sensation] nljelmer:
Fixed my problem! :) Now i have temp-root :)

This tut , really helps my out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t9AXZWcFQU
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Thanks to Chris who first posted it.. and small thanks to me to bring it here :) LOL
[HTC Sensation] nljelmer:
LOL ;-) Thanks Chris and prateek.gujral :-)

But again i have a question:

Can we make screenshot's?

Try'd

Screenshot it (trail) and Shootme.

It is'nt working?!?! :(
[HTC Sensation] Dandandroid:
does anyone knows , if i can make changes on /system

that will stick ? or next reboot it will f***up my device ?
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
If you have an S-On device you cannot make changes on /system that will stick.
[HTC Sensation] id242:
Take a look at Dalvik Debug Monitor @ android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat

Once that is loaded, go to Device menu and choose Screen capture
[HTC Sensation] tKoHaXoR:
Any word on this exploit working on the HTC G2 with the OTA 2.3.3 update?

Im sure this kernel exploit would also work.
[HTC Sensation] Sym_Link:
Turn off HTC sync on your pc, then open task manager and kill all instances of adb.exe. It should go away. HTC sync starts an instance of adb when your phone is plugged in.
[HTC Sensation] agrabren:
Added a blob in the third post about how to get titanium backup going!
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
I tried the following to get Titanium Backup to work, however, if I do

adb remount

I get this "remount failed: Read-only file system"

Just to add, my device is temp rooted. Bit strange.

Update: Rebooted, and re-rooted, and remount works. Bizarre.

Update 2: Second issue now. Running

remount -o remount,suid /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /data

Returns the error "remount: not found"
[HTC Sensation] pxbxda:
put fre3vo in the same folder where you start EDB
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
mount -oremount,suid /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /data

should be this ?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
mount works. Must be that and not remount.

Update: Now getting issues with the ln -s commands. It says "link failed Read-only file system"

Will just leave it for now, until we have something more permanent.
[HTC Sensation] CLShortFuse:
If you guys want to use SuperOneClick to run this, just copy 'fre3vo' into the Exploits folder. SuperOneClick will automatically pick it right up.

If I get the authors' permission, I'll include the file already in the next version

I think that would save some of the trouble that people are having with rooting.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Getting root isn't hard. Pretty simple to run the exploit. But, because of it's nature, it appears that the write to system fades pretty fast.

Unless people have experienced something different by using SuperOneClick?

From what I understand, isn't this just shell root, and not proper temp root? Or am I getting confused. Just tried to root using SuperOneClick, and it can't install busybox. And when I have tried using the described methods, it seems to install, but then I can't get Titanium Backup to work :(
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
i got it>>>
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
It's like that because your not doing a true write to the /system partition so you are only making temporary changes that are undone upon reboot.

[HTC Sensation] Crew One:
The answers have been given in this thread already.

Short version: Your phone lied to you!
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
How did you uninstall them? The only thing that works right now is "pm disable" command.
[HTC Sensation] pertsix:
How are you even able to claim you're part of the advanced dev team if you can't even grasp this very simple idea?

On a separate note, we've tried buffering the mmc for write and it failed off the old exploit. We're trying to use another exploit presented by a kernel 0day'er.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Disable the apps. Don't uninstall.
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
the thing is that ive never dealed with this kind of things bro... all my previous phones didnt have this issues about rooting so i never worried about... now is that im researching about this, thanks
[HTC Sensation] fmedina2:
I assume your other phones had full root or s-off, the EVO 3D does not at the moment.

Amazing. :eek:

sounds ****ing great!!!

Thanks team!
[HTC Sensation] eyegor:
Wouldn't a recovery that can be flashed via flash_image and temp-root allow us to flash an engineering hboot thus unlocking the bootloader and solving the root-loss issues while enabling us to do whatever we want?

EDIT: Damn, I was stuck with the Magic for far too long. NAND lock would prevent us from doing what I just proposed, right?
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Just got a failed to exploit on the sensation. Any help?

yes man that was it so i never got interested in this things till now that we have this phones .... its like a learning experience..
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Now we're talking :):cool:
[HTC Sensation] Clay333:
Has anyone tried using "bloatware melter" under preferences in titanium backup? It says it removes bloatware from Nand protected devices. I'm guessing no because I would have prob read about it by now and these phones use eMMC instead of Nand, but I figure it may be worth a shot. I would try myself, but can't get to a computer at the moment to run fre3vo.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
I interested to know when Fre3vo^2 is going to be hitting our devices! Man, I hope it's soon! :D
[HTC Sensation] madsurfer1:
It´s the same as the fre3evo, just way easy to temp root... specialty for a guy like me that formated is comp yesterday, you save me from installing java etc... (at least for now).

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Ganii:
Nice to hear ;)
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
nice !!!! great news
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Does this change anything in the system configuration or is it just an exploit that does not leave any marks?
[HTC Sensation] johnsonjs:
Thanks, it worked!
[HTC Sensation] studiozeroseven:
Great work, waiting for S-OFF and Perm Root, I will be keeping my eyes on this thread
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
tried the titanium backup but still says no root access
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
glad to see a TX representative contributing. i will be glad to test anything on my sensation for the op
[HTC Sensation] johnsonjs:
Uninstall TB and Superuser then reinstall from market. Worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
i never installed super user
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
but will uninstall tb and try again
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
ok same result
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
i have been able to do the rm disable actions though
[HTC Sensation] johnsonjs:
Titanium Backup requires superuser permissions to run. (root) Install Superuser and try again
[HTC Sensation] tswtech2:
will reflash ruu then do the temp root over and try again in the morning. i know all this is pointless for me since i will do it again when perm root comes out but i just want to acquire the knowledge now

[HTC Sensation] Eng_Hassan85:
Nice Work :D ,but i got the root access via "adb shell" only ! ,when I installed the terminal emulator I couldn't got root access via "su" command :( ..is there any idea ?
[HTC Sensation] DJ Legend:
The same! No root for Apps!

PS I've pushed su binary.. and install superuser
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Guess we will have to wait for perm root to arrive and then ofcourse the S-OFF and HBoot..

Question.. if I have a temproot using fre3vo, can I flash anotehr stock ROM? I doubt it, but no harm confirming...
[HTC Sensation] fastamx79:
You kind of answered your own question. You can't do much with temp root at the moment... and no, you can't flash anything because the bootloader is still locked (s-on). Gotta wait till Team Win finishes Fre3Dom (bootloader unlocker)

From the sound of things Fre3vo^2 should be out any time now and that will allow root apps to run (the next step towards full unlock)
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
I doubt it is the right answer
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Agreed!! As I said, I doubt but no harm confirming!! he he.. forgot I need SOFF for the roms :D

Fastamx is right!
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Its nice deleting bloatware on this phone. Fre3vo^2 sounds promising! It felt good to atleast be messing around with the phone again after 3 weeks. Past few weeks felt like I had a iPhone again hahahh! Hopefully crack flashing is just around the corner, I'm an addict LOL!
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Possible UPDATE! Coming Soon!

Could this be the update we need in terms of unlocking the bootloader? The file size is 369MB in size. Sounds to me like it could be in my opinion....check it out

[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
not yet

hold your horses mamarda :-) this tool will give us temproot. It is planned to be released very soon (days if i'm not mistaken)

The second tool which is planned later will give us S-off

hope this helps

[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Cant wait!! I'll finally be able to to a Titanium backup! And ad free!!! YES!
[HTC Sensation] Honestly77:
Someone should start working on a hacked flash player so we can access hulu when root drops. Oh man I am excited...once S-OFF happens...this phone is gonna scream. I mean..our processors are already underclocked from 1.5ghz and half the time it doesn't seem like the other core is even running. This is tremendous news.

Sensation-al, the rEVOlution is arriving ! (can't believe I'm the only one having thought about that one ^^)

True.

However for the moment this is THE announcement that we've been waiting for, we can't blame anybody for being happy and expressing it. Plus this is just an announcement (for now) congrats are the only thing that we can do rigth now. :)

Again, you are right, I just think we should wait releases before refraining praises.
[HTC Sensation] |Blitzkrieg|:
Thanks guys, this is awesome!

The OP reserved several replies immediately after his first post. Any relevant information will be posted there first. I don't think its inappropriate to thank Teamwin for their hard work.
[HTC Sensation] funkdoobi:
er wrong thread. too many tabs..
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
wow,i hope so
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
One good news. But I think we should not be hasty. Currently we have Temproot and the future can be PermRoot. Further we may have S-OFF. If it's HTC upgrade key security vulnerabilities, we can only cry:(. I think we should wait for HTC official notification unlocked HTC bootloader. Now we should go our way, which is XDA Deverloper :)
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Deleting bloatware? You're actually able to delete things? At this point all I can do is freeze apps for later disposal when we have a more extensive root, as it were.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
i agree, ill be dam if i use this update with out htc conformation that it unlocks bootloader
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
I understand the sentiment. I don't think HTC would be stupid enough to push out an update without unlocking the bootloader. Then again, after my experiences with Sammy, I'm not sure what to think.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Ooopsss....I meant disabling them.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
its is possible for htc to push a update with out unlocking the bootloader,this update just might not have the unlocking software
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Whew! Okay...I thought I being terribly stupid. :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Oh sure, I realize that. I just hesitate to think they'd knowingly piss off a lot of people by doing that.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
Thats what i think the unlocking software is not in this update.Maybe its for things like lag in the rosie or color wash who knows i`ll stick to what we have here so far so good
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
you got that right piss off alot of people,but hey the did when they release the phone. who cares though we got agrabren on are side
[HTC Sensation] tomh1979:
How did you get fre3vo into super.
[HTC Sensation] frankinstine:
That update is pretty huge, only has me wondering if it has an unlockable bootloader. Just like the nexus one days...but who knows...we have temp root now and still moving forward. So I'll be holding off if the update releases till we know exactly what's in there
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
Didn't it come to your minds that this is just the previously leaked update? Didn't check the exact file sizes, but the leak was around 380mb, so is this..

I don't think that they will unlock our phones OTA, rather there might be some programm like htc sync involved.

Don't get so exited about it. Doesn't matter who comes first, as there's some serious progress made right know well probably have full control over our devices very soon. No matter if HTC releases the unlock or not.
[HTC Sensation] fastamx79:
Doubt the bootloader will be unlocked with that update...

New tweet from agrabren:

"Some bad news... Fre3vo^2 will require adb after a reboot. It will still give root apps access. Not wasting a second exploit before Fre3Dom."

http://twitter.com/#!/agrabren/
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Shame. But a step closer.

However, what does he mean by "not wasting a second exploit before Fre3Dom"?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
As HTC might plug it before Fre3Dom is released I'm guessing
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
he might mean that the second exploit he found might closed the door for Fre3Dom
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Ah true. So you think, if he had made the Fre3vo^2 apk start on boot, it would shut us out from ever getting Fre3Dom?

Would be ace if he could explain it to us though :)
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
And another tweet from agrabren:

Clarification: There is still a fre3vo^2, but it won't auto-reroot on reboot. Fre3Dom is more important. #teamwin
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Definitely! Fre3Dom is DEFINITELY more important than anything!
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
Yeah, I haven't even messed with fre3vo. I'm waiting for the full dosage.:D
[HTC Sensation] Slash8915:
So I did the temproot and installed superuser last night. The overclocking apps still don't work. Am I doing something wrong, or will they not work with the temp root? Also, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm too lazy to search. Can I install a custom ROM with temproot?
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Temproot is flakey for now.. wait for fre3vo^2

You need S-OFF for Roms
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
I think what he is saying is that theres a second exploit that could be used to achieve permanent root, but its the same one they plan to use for Fre3dom to allow us to make permanent changes to the bootloader. I would imagine they don't want to release it until Fre3dom is complete so that HTC can't patch it before we can put it to good use.
