Update:

"Using fre3vo^2, I successfully uninstalling Swype and installed the latest Swype beta!"

"evo users can't (uninstall pre-installed apps), because it comes pre-installed. But it shows fre3vo^2 can replace system apps on #evo3d and #sensation"
[HTC Sensation] Eng_Hassan85:
Hey ,Can the temp root method "Fre3vo" used to patch the image version partition to downgrade the Rom from higher version to lower one ? If yes how ?
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
@agrabren's latest tweet:
[HTC Sensation] sniperkill:
He means he's not wasting anymore time with temp root exploits, and he's just gonna keep moving forward with fr3rom. For s-off.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
He has already said what he means via twitter :

" Clarification: There is still a fre3vo^2, but it won't auto-reroot on reboot. Fre3Dom is more important. #teamwin "
[HTC Sensation] Tweakssd:
And after that, he tweeted the following request:

" agrabren A request to any/all apk hackers. Need a terminal app with all permissions requested."
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
From the EVO 3D thread on this, he has said that Fre3Dom is on track. So good news there!

dude i made that post at 11 somthing o`clock you went threw all those post just to answer that,in wich it was already discuss wow guys stop the newb stuff
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Could we get this exploit as an apk?

Or is there an App to disable system apps?

Or just a command to output all apk with package names? Or 2 commands but same order :)
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
If i understand it right they found a new temp root exploit and a perm root exploit otherwhile they never would tell HTC about fr3vo^1
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
They are telling htc because exploits are not good to have In a rom. Though they are using the exploit for good (root) someone else may use it for malware. its important that htc knows about them. By the time htc patches it, fr3edom may have very likely already touched down.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Exactly. They won't tell HTC until they KNOW they can get Fre3Dom to work also I bet.

It is coming along well apparently, so that's good :D
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
While this would definitely be grounds to cream the boxers, I imagine it's highly unlikely.

[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I recall a statement from HTC saying that they already had updates planned for the Sensation before the statement was made to unlock the bootloaders, so the first update we see may not unlock our phones. Can't remember where I read it - it's probably buried somewhere in the General forum.

Hopefully HTC doesn't lag on this too much longer.
[HTC Sensation] megatron-g1:
BTW, I converted it to a windows script right after this was posted, but couldn't reply cause I didn't have 10 posts yet :P

Anyway, here it is for windows, I tested it after I removed superuser and rebooted my phone and it worked for a few minutes, but then it went away and I couldn't do it again without removing superuser and rebooting again.

After rebooting, do the fre3vo temp root steps, then unzip this anywhere and run script.bat from command prompt if you want to try it.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
YES!!!! This is good news!

Still trying to figure what does your file do?
[HTC Sensation] megatron-g1:
I just modified someone else's script, it gives temp su so you can run root apps. I was able to start titanium backup and vpnc after running this.

*#*#2432546#*#* Thank you for the heads up! :D
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:
Looks like HTC is trying to push out an update. Could be good or bad. Hopefully with unlocked Bootloaders.

Look at This!!
[HTC Sensation] daneurysm:
Everybody, PLAY. IT. SAFE. Do not take the OTA until it has been inspected and verified. It is very doubtful it is the OTA that will unlock us, it is more likely that it is another random bug-fix and also likely that it may also (or specifically) include a patch to holes in the system--holes that can provide us with full root and/or s=off.
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
That update leaked, it doesn't unlock bootloader unfortunately.
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:
Very good piont... Facebook HTC has blown up since Team Win has obtained Temp Root. They know about the Exploit and might try to fill the gaps. The OTA is the right size for Sense 3.0 and this could go either way. :eek:

HTC OTA

It would be pretty cool for them to release fre3dom for 4th of July (Independence Day). Seems only fitting, you know....

What does that do?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Nothing.. LOL.. i checked out of curiosity! :P
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
I'm not sure if I remember correctly but on my MT4G some of us had 2.2 and there was an OTA UPDATE of 2.2.1. We needed the update to permaroot so somebody suggested typing in those numbers to try to force a OTA update to our phones. It worked for some. DONT UPDATE YOUR SENSATION! You might regret it LOL!
[HTC Sensation] narse:
Think it instructs your phone to check for updates straight away (the numbers spell "checkin" on the keypad). I remember using it on the HTC Magic, but think that it is superceded by the "check now" button under the "settings/about phone" menu for the more recent versions of Android.
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
I tried it, and I got a notification "Checkin succeeded" but I have no freaking idea what this means for my phone. Wasn't asked for confirmation or anything... I hope this isn't bad after all. Does anyone know more?
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
I got that message before. When the update actually is sent you have the option to download it. Just press cancel everytime it pops up. I'm gonna wait till somebody checks it out first. There might be something patched that will interfere with fre3vo^2 or fre3dom. Freakin HTC.
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
If I understand that correctly, I (unwillingly) "signed up" for a push update (that I will be able to reject once its there). Is there any way to unsubscribe?
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
*#*#checkin#*#* forced your phone to check in with Google's servers for updates. If you have an app that needs to be updated it'll tell you as well as any updates for the phones software/firmware.

[HTC Sensation] daman215:
guys there is no update yet, if you go to setting about phone and click htc software updates its by default checks for updates online, if you hit check now it will tell you there is no update available for your phone
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Okay, so this was a one-time check with no sideeffects?
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
i did notice somthing last night if you go to settings/applications/downloads your htc sense have been updated if you click on it, instead of seeing uninstall it says uninstall updates hmm makes me wonder ,how they slip that in?
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
So should I sell my SGS2 and take a Sensation?

Fre3dom is real or a possible hack?
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
its a matter of what you like,and yes fre3dom is real and on the way
[HTC Sensation] tready:
i sold my sgs2 last week and bought the sensation am i glad i did yes
[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
Well I always used HTC products for Android (N1 and DHD) and I think they are more capable for Android than Sammy.

I mean my sgs2 has everything,root and lot of roms but they all clones of the crappy touchwiz rom!

I bought it for the much praised screen behavior under sunlight but it's just very slightly better than my ex-DHD

Camera is surelly better than dhd but it has a weird pink spot in the middle :eek:

Also I bought it because Sensation had no positive future for roms and kernels due to the locked bootloader, but now that Fre3dom will do it...

Sorry for off-topic :o
[HTC Sensation] Elim:
Without device condition for Flyer?

For a Flyer? Or is this your expierence with Sensation or EVO 3D? I try only adb (on a Flyer) and there is this condition.

Therefore the question is still if it is possible to build a version for the Flyer without this condition?
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Then I think there is something not right with your sgs2. The camera apk was updated to get rid of the artifact that some were having issues with. I agree that HTC products were better than previous Sammy products but the sgs2 is a whole other device.
[HTC Sensation] DonJuan692006:
That's correct.

[HTC Sensation] mams13:
is it possible or feasible that hack is available in apk? it would be easy practice
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
I agree with you, wi wait for this more than month and if wi waith one month it's not dramatic, one thing sure, that wi have un exploi and that it's more than great!!!
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
I NEVER thought that we will have no software root from the DEV´s ... its always a time to wait but it dont last long.... HTC Desire has lower protection and needed more time !

We have so awesome dev´s here! HTC know it so they push s-off in the future. They dont like Security Holes ;-)

Its so great to be a part of this community! (fu** of the annoying things here ;-))
[HTC Sensation] nardone24:
Yes that would be fre3vo^2

This is what was tweeted yesterday 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.

So as far as this sounds the answer to your question is no
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
Can somebody tell me if the exploit changes something in the system permanently? Does it apply some special settings, change/delete files, or anything like that?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Because of the current S-ON, the system can't be affected. Eventually, after a few mins the system restores itself, so nothing is affected.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I think I read somewhere that you can run adb on the phone itself and that it does support it. Is it possible if we can put that in the apk instead of running adb every time we reboot?
[HTC Sensation] vabeach454:
I have seen wireless ADB in a few ROM's on my MT4G. Might be worth a try.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Not wireless,.but being able to run adb commands via terminal on the phone...
[HTC Sensation] spazoid:
Updates were probably on the phones when they were shipped
[HTC Sensation] cmstlist:
Any app that has "uninstall updates" in the Manage Applications list has an original version .apk in /system/app plus an updated version in /data/app. A factory shipped phone generally has an empty /data partition.

My guess is, HTC now has an internal updater that downloads incremental updates to the Sense framework which don't otherwise require a ROM upgrade. So at some point when your phone signs onto Sense services, it downloads the updated .apk file.

Its not going to be as easy as pie, that is for sure. HTC Purposely made it a cluster F*** so that our XDA Guys would have trouble. I mean I understand HTC's angle, they have a lot of work on thier table, But they shouldn't go announcing things they are not ready to backup with actions. Plus, I would kinda like our guys to get to it first....just to prove a point.

I have complete faith in our guys.
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
Yep. Plus, I doubt they're giving any serious consideration to backing up the plans they supposedly have to unlock the bootloader anytime soon. They just realized it was a growing request from the community and told us what we wanted to hear so we would at least give it a break or shut up. Typical business decision.. and it's working out well for them, seeing how the pressure seems to have been eased on them and shifted instead into hope for xda to work its magic again :-!

Go xda! (But still keep the pressure on HTC)
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Probably will be,last htc phone I buy. We buy our phones at either full price or half off with contract. They should atleast allow root option.. and quite frank. I trust the xda developers more than htc at this point. I have faith.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
Fre3vo 2

What about Fre3vo 2? how is the progress going on. I assume it will give us root that will stick until we reboot and will enable all apps that require root to work.

They already announced that future phones will not be locked by htc. As far as the current phones they said they would be issueing an update soon...but as one webpage said

"the word soon is way too broad. People waited 10+ years for a video game that was supposed to be soon".

That's what this entire thread is about.... Getting to that point.

Our xda team will figure it out. It's only a matter of time.

[HTC Sensation] Mrperf3ct:
No more HTC phones for me. You guys should all follow suit. HTC asked for it so we should stop supporting them. After all they did stop supporting us...
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Seriously, do you people READ?!

All FUTURE devices are going to be unlocked. Learn to READ!

As for the EVO 3D and Sensation, apparently they are going to be unlocked, as well as some other devices (we don't know which ones), but HTC want to do it all "properly". It's been confirmed several times on the official Facebook page, which is where we were told to look for information.

But really, thinking that HTC are now going down the Motorola route on all future phones, when they announced that the WILL be unlocking them: that's just stupidity on your part for not reading.

Also, this "topic" shouldn't really be discussed in a thread for Fre3vo/Fre3Dom. If you want to ***** about HTC, do it somewhere else.

This is the latest news on Fre3Dom for now:
[HTC Sensation] Mrperf3ct:
Motorola didn't upgrade the xoom to LTE yet and its July. We was sopose to get upgraded in April. So until we see proof. Please ignore this HTC associate.
[HTC Sensation] k2buckley:
I think it's more that people will 'believe it when they see it,' rather than not knowing how to read. We all know what HTC said (which could've just been to shut everyone up) I'll believe it when they do it.
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
WTF guys! This was the only thread in sensation's forums ( and the most important one for now ) which i believed that would stay clean. What's wrong with people in here. I had a HD2 and a DHD but i've never seen this before. People opening new threads in the dev section that have nothing to do with dev, asking the same fuc......ing qiestions without even searching and now spaming this thread. If u want to fight or blame HTC find one of the 612738292 relevant threads in the GENERAL SECTION and do it. Leave this great thread clean unless you have some news about Fr3vo or Fr3dom.

f.
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
I know what it means, i aint stupid.

The fact is that i still CANT run any root apps at all, nor access the root with a file explorer....

Plus if you read my post, you would had seen that i used a batch command that should do everything on its own, so it wouldn't leave ADB shell open.
[HTC Sensation] mpmilestogo:
I had this happen after running the temp root on my sensation. Even though the prompt changed to the root prompt on the phone, titanium would not work. One interesting thing is that I had just asked the phone to check for updates for both htc and google. Anyways, after that, I rebooted and reran the exploit and since I'm using the thread here to provide root until reboot, I reran the root.sh script. This time the usual behavior occurred. I got dumped from the ADB terminal shell back to my windows terminal. I noticed when the exploit does report failed, yet the root prompt changes, the applications I want to use seem oblivious that root succeeded.

Try rebooting a few times to clear things.
[HTC Sensation] Zarboz:
Fre3vo just provides a root shell you have to manually add Su and set permissions for it to work not all of those scripts work 100% of the time

[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Yeah, that would be my main concern as well if I had anything from the Vibrant I really needed to transfer.

Theoretically it should work. Of course make sure you have a backup of your backup, but if it were me I'd certainly try it. If you decide to do so please report back on your progress/success.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
The only root app that currently works is Titanium Backup, because it has built in Busybox.

You can't make system r/w with Root Explorer for now, because the temp root on system reverts after a few mins. However, Titanium works. It's still VERY much a WIP.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I had a few other apps working beside Titanium: RootCheck, BusyBox installer, SD speed booster and luckily (no FC using an outdated version I had on my SD card) SetCpu.

All of these apps work only once and seem to remain working as long as you don't want to stop/start them again. For example SetCpu: I set some profiles for screen off and charging. They seem to keep working as long as I don't kill setCPU. If I do and then restart, it doesn't get root anymore......untill I use Fre2vo and root.sh again via adb.

Same for RootCheck, use it once, it saysI have complete root and busybox. Use it twice, it says I don't have root.

Only Titanium keeps on working (until next reboot at least........or more)
[HTC Sensation] rgl12miami:
I have 4 applications that need root, running:

Root Booter (not to much help LOL)
