I really hate to add to the chaos, but no matter what I do. I am not able to get this to work properly. I have HTC sync turned off, and debugging and mock locations checked off, but when it gets to waiting for device, it just hangs, and never picks up the device again. I tried to remove the wait for device commands out of the .bat file, and it gets through but when I attempt to use even titanium, it says root not achieved, and will not let me through. Yes superuser is installed.

T-Mobile US Sensation 4G

EDIT: I finally got it to work. The last two downloads of the files must have been bad or whatnot. I redownloaded a third time and it was the charm! Disregard this. Love your work Eugene!

You need USB debugging on

Hi Eugene373

Your effords are really appreciated, thanks and keep up the good work !!!!

Last nights file worked for me very easily ( the one that asks you to wait 30secs) then this morning I wanted to flash the latest version .

I tried it maybe 10 times, but it can not seem to locate the exploit and then I get alot of unsuccesful messages,

Then I tried yesterday`s (30 sec pause) file and it worked again fine .

Apparently something on the FINAL one keeps giving errors ... Any idea what ?

chainfire 3d

Hi Guys

I am facing a problem with Chainfire3D application since it requires a reboot. The problem is that after the application installs some drivers it automatically reboots without prompting me to accept or deny reboot.

Even if I have "fastboot" enabled in settings, the application still performs a full reboot.

Is there a workaround to stop chainfire3d from automatically doing a full reboot?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
The same thing is happening to me. The script with the 30 second pause works great but the final version spits out a couple errors here and there and when I go to run any root app, they all force close. If I reboot and run the 2nd to the last root script everything works fine....
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Really dumb question but not answered in OP - Is this just for the 4G or does it work with the normal Sensation? Also, I'm assuming this does everything to temp-root from scratch?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Thanks for this eugene. You mentioned a fast reboot to get AdFree working properly (needs a reboot). Is this done using the fastreboot.apk in the folder?

It's not pointless.

You can get Titanium Backup working, SetCPU to save battery, Root Explorer fully working with r/w permissions.

Also, you can take screenshots on the PC without root. So really, it isn't pointless.

With the first version I've tried few days ago it worked perfectly, but with this last version I just have root for a few seconds then lost...

Not mentioned in first post, but is this last version supposed to work with normal Sensation ... ?

And, I think this since I've used first version, now when usb is pluged in, touchscreen does not respond anymore... do you think it is related ?

edit > omg, forget about it, it's related to this crap cover I bought http://www.mobilefun.fr/30336-housse-htc-sensation-flip---noire.htm
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
The Fast Reboot doesn't clear the DNS cache properly. I installed the update from AdFree, and tried the Fast Reboot. Not working sadly :(

root explorer wont take..

Is any one else having trouble getting root explorer to install..

I keep getting "Invalid package file":(
[HTC Sensation] notxel21:
Nope. Root Explorer installs just fine for me.. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Yes that's normal....

@Everyone else..

Reboot the Phone, let load fully until the screen goes black... Then & only then run the .bat

Works for me every-time if I don't try to rush installing
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Eugene, have you managed to get AdFree working 100% correctly and not showing ads like with the Market version?
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
did not worked for me i tried it a couple of days did the process aleast 6 times and every time root explorer will only work the first time i open it after that will just give me a blanck screen and even if i tried to uninstall it and re install it it wont work...i will stick with the first version worked every time but will loose root explorer after a couple of hours some times a day thx EUGENE great work......
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Okay for all the People having trouble with Perma-Temp Root. I have added a Sleep timer so the USB has time to reconnect to the device.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Yup..

Mine is working fine..

Installing Google Talk with Video chat v.1.3

Has anyone tried installing the new version of the Google Talk application via ADB now that we have root?

Has anyone been successful at getting it to work?

Update Posted fixing a few issue & for people having issue with running the exploit should work 100% for everyone.

[HTC Sensation] TheAnarchist1:
The last manifestation worked for me as well, minus the obvious Root Explorer R/O shift, but as stated, that is to be expected. Honestly, the only thing you can do, as I have come to discover, is seriously, the moment you run the .bat, turn off your screen and count 1 Mississippi so on so forth, straight to thirty (I do until forty) and give the phone time to settle. Settling seems to give the root the best chance of succeeding. There are times though, that it will just fail, and you just have to reboot, and keep at it until it works, and it WILL work, just a matter when. Seems like an imperfect science, but it is based off of an imperfect exploit that has gained us much sought after SU, and I have all the patience in the world, considering what there is to gain from a little TLC and waiting. My two cents though in summary:

Wait Wait Wait Wait Wait! The longer the phone sets with the screen off, after you first click the .bat file,the better it runs, and also turn off HTC Sync, make sure your debugging is on, as others have stated, and otherwise just crack open a can of Arizona icetea and let the process do its magic!
[HTC Sensation] TheAnarchist1:
doublecheese. It looks as though you have HTC Sync on from all those ADB starts and resets going on there.

Also, you did reboot and uninstall SU apk between root attempts right? I have noticed that if your system goes R/O and loses the su symlink, and you attempt to root again, on the same boot on top, it will deny everything as R/O. Make sure you reboot, and let it sit off, for about three or so minutes to clean out the junk before rebooting.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
@TheAnarchist1

I am on MOUNT AS DISK DRIVE mode .

Can HTC SYNCH make itself ON without my knowledge ?
[HTC Sensation] TheAnarchist1:
HTC Sync if it is running on your computer, can screw up the process, even if you are on disk drive mode on your phone. I have had that problem, BUT you need to be on charge only mode on your phone. Eugene said that in one of his earlier alterations of the OP
[HTC Sensation] TheAnarchist1:
Make sure HTC Sync is not running in the system notifications tray of your computer, assuming you are using Windows of some form or another. Make sure your phone is on Charge Only mode, and hook it up, run the bat turn off your screen and count to forty

Hope that helps a little..it made my life drastically easier
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
So what's the knack to getting adfree to work?
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
With this final version we can remove bloteware APKs for good? I read the OPs info but making sure I read this correctly.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Slightly OT, however, can someone tell me which processor I select for SetCPU on the splash screen.

Thanks for the assistance.
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
You can remove bloatware until you reboot. Your best bet would be to use fastboot which only reboots the shell.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
Thank you for the tips :)

On my laptop HTCSYNC was turned off ... But I have turned my phone into charge Only this time and it worked !!!!

But very strange the "30 Sec Pause" one worked yesterday with Disk Drive mode :)
[HTC Sensation] wpbcubsfan:
Or just freeze the apps if you have Titanium Pro. You can also do the pm disable <package name>. They won't come back after reboot then.
[HTC Sensation] maxtcee:
Same deal htc sync is off charge only ran bat said everything was excecuted bit no root tried reboot still no root
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
That's definitely the right way to do it. Disable the packages, and they don't appear after a reboot. Yes, they are still there. But at least they aren't in the menu :)
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Can I ask what you did exactly do get it to work?

I uninstalled my AdFree, rebooted, re-rooted. Reinstalled AdFree, and then downloaded file. Then used Fast Reboot. Still getting ads in Angry Birds sadly :(
[HTC Sensation] mick1475:
No luck, no root this time. UK Vodafone after the OTA
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
first time doing this on retarted windows. getting stuck on the third time its locating the access point. htc sync isn't running.. any suggestions? worked perfect on linux but now that my linux is corrupted, im stuck using this.

EDIT: had to disconnect then reconnect, now it finished.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Same no root and then my phone froze, I'm gonna have to do a battery pull

After the battery pull I closed out HTC Sync completely from the systray and it worked like a charm! I also uninstalled superuser before the phone froze and I did the batt pull. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
I think i got stuff mixed up between the evo & our phone..

Looking at it now.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
*SO EVERYONE KNOWS.... "PM DISABLE" WILL FREEZE THE BLOATWARE EVEN AFTER FULL REBOOT (no fastboot).*

Seems like not everyone knows about this yet.... Root apps will go bye bye, but the bloatware remains disabled....sweet friggin' perfection!

I should say that for whatever reason Eugene's last 2 builds have been a little funky for my Sensation. I went ahead and sort of combined some of Eugene's batch and Wisefires batch and also his bloatware batch file (modified for my liking).

It's PERFECT!! Bloatware stays disabled even after a full reboot (no fastboot) GENIUS!!!!

For me...that's all I really care about until September when we can start loading custom builds.

If this whole temp root process is good for one thing...it's being able to permanently disable the bloatware, even after a full reboot.

PERFECTION....or as close as it gets right now? Also a BIG battery life increase and she's running as smooth as butter.

BIG thank you to TeamWin, Eugene, Wisefire and whoever the person is that realized "pm disable" is the best way to go!

For anyone who might want a looksy....here's my bloatware bat:

[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Anyone else having trouble installing/updating apps after rooting with the final one? It seems every release seems to get more and more bugs.. First one was great now these are giving difficulty installing apps unless I restart.
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Thanks for that info. I was able to root and all the root-required apps run. The only one I can't get to work is Ad-free :( Anyone have luck?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
The bloatware goes bye bye for good even after a FULL reboot when you disable the it via "pm disable".

Check out my post on page 22 of this thread.

I don't really need any root apps running, so this is fantastic for getting rid of the bloat until September comes around....and no need to worry about rebooting :D
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Eugene said to use the Fast Reboot, but it doesn't work for me either sadly :(
[HTC Sensation] likingandroid:
Titatinium BackUp Pro

Does anyone know how to get Titatinum Back up to run. I get the message "Sorry I could not acquire root privelages".
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Somehow you lost root.... You rebooted I'm guessing?

In any event....

Reboot and reroot.... that simple ;)
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Anytime I use Fast Reboot I loose root. It doesn't work for me at all. I'm happy, though, just using Titanium until we get S-Off. Well, as long as I can get root to stick, waiting update from Eugene.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hi setzer,

You are aware of "pm disable" for bloatware removal correct? Bloat stays gone even after full reboot. I know you're talking about root apps, but want to make sure you know about that...
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
No, use the Fast Reboot app. Not rebooting the device.

There seems to be a few issues with the latest version of this tool from Eugene. I think he is looking into it.
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Thanks for anyone who replied with help... This root is not taking and I've tried it all. Seems like the version before this final one was working just well with my phone; going to try that one again until this final version gets re-tweaked.
[HTC Sensation] darinf:
At one point early on I was able to get root and Barnacle working.

Now with the latest 7-12 script, Barnacle says it cannot get SU.

I get this error during root:

-------------------------

F:\Web Downloads\Sprint EVO 3D\Fre3vo_EVO_3D_final>adb push ./mountme /system/bi

n

failed to copy './mountme' to '/system/bin/mountme': Read-only file system

F:\Web Downloads\Sprint EVO 3D\Fre3vo_EVO_3D_final>adb shell chmod 777 /system/b

in/mountme

Unable to chmod /system/bin/mountme: No such file or directory

F:\Web Downloads\Sprint EVO 3D\Fre3vo_EVO_3D_final>adb shell /system/bin/mountme

/system/bin/mountme: not found

--------------------------------

With ADB shell, I get the # prompt.

Titanium Backup also works fine and has SU.

I followed these steps:

1) Uninstall Superuser

2) Reboot

3) Let phone settle for 10 min.

4) run .bat file

HTC sync is uninstalled.

Any ideas how to get Barnacle working again?

Thanks,

-Darin

[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
What you remove?
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Eugene, is it still the case that if Apps are installed via the SDCard after the Root, we loose root?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
That's I've not had time to test.. I'll test to make sure in a bit.

~EDIT~

Just installed one of my app from the sdcard using root explorer without losing root.

So it seems it's Gmail that breaks root when installing an apk from mailbox
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Sweet. Edit your OP :D

Also, you've said "HTC Must be Turned OFF", didnt you mean HTC SYNC?

Im guess you've wrote these OP's so many times, its getting to you! hehe :D
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
Whenever I try to use the latest version it fails when it's trying to locate access points. I've done everything I can think of but no go. Previous version worked fine though :/
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Im just about to re-root now, so I'll post the exact process I do..
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
It doesn't always work, sometime you have to reboot & reboot to get it to work..
[HTC Sensation] Tunay:
Basiclly everything I don't use :D But, I dare you don't do a reboot :D
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
I've done it over 20 times now and on two computers, no good. Has anything been changed that might affect the process?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
nope, it's just script via terminal.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
This is the exact process that I got to work (Windows 7)

First of all make sure HTC Sync is install & your phone is detected by it.

Once that happens, forget about HTC Sync all together. Close it from the taskbar.

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.

Turn your phone off.

Turn it back on.

Once its completely booted up, the screen timeout should trigger and your device locks.

Unlock it.

Plug the USB in - This should auto go into Charge Mode (unless you've selected it to automatically use another option).

Load up Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat

Wait about 30seconds, and the process begins.

I literally just did that, first time after a Factory Reset.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
The third time I used this batch method ADB told me I had root but no root apps could gain root.

I tried again, the batch process said it failed, ADB said I had root. I fired up Titanium and it got root access. I tried Root explorer and got a bunch of FC's. So I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall, I could no longer install anything else from the market. I just rebooted and now I can install apps once again.
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
Thing is it tries to locate access points and when it's failed for three times (I think) it continues and obiously fails but pushes the apks.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Try the process I just posted..
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
I put a 30 second time on it.. If it Fails close cmd prompt & Fire it back up.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hrmmm I just lost root access... Disabled a load of Three Mobile bloatware, then lost access...
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Edit the .bat File to remove what you need..

Poking around & removing app's /system to much will do that, If you do it at bootup its fine.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Sweet, thanks alot!
[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
Sweet!!!! now it works.!!!took 5 hours on it..(reboot and try..)
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
whats the command line to remove the apps?

All I have is...

pm disable com.synapsy.tre.se.apps

pm disable se.tre.trefilm

pm disable ie.three.favourites

pm disable it.sogetel.android.bookGiochi

pm disable ie.three.planet3

[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Can anyone else confirm that the latest version has bugs again? Wait like an hour after you root your device and try to install/update any apps.. It won't let you.. Restarting and even with the root will work but after a bit of settling it won't work anymore.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Mine has been working fine for the last 3 hours..

@stanny2k

adb shell rm -r /system/app/(name).apk

adb shell rm -r /system/app/(name).odex

Not all apps have .odex but almost all do.
[HTC Sensation] rd2000:
Whats the point ?

Hey im all for spendig time fooling around with Sensation, but seriously. In a month HTC will OFFICIALLY push S-OFF to the HTC Sensation, and all this work wil be futile.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I'm not talking about through adb. Installing/updating through the market or even using Android's Package installer will give a package not installed error. Restarting has fixed it every time, but after a bit of time after my root it will occur again.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
So Eugene, what did you do to get adfree to work? because I've tried just about everything!

Reboot, Re-root, uninstall, reinstall. Uninstalling apps, reinstalling them before and after the root sticks.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Futile implies that these are fruitless or pointless efforts. These are helping our phones NOW. I can freeze bloatware and use root apps NOW. Tomorrow is always a day away. If the world were left top persons like yourself we'd probably still be waiting for G.W. Bush to show us WMD's in Iraq. Or perhaps waiting for the Church to accept that the Sun doesn't revolve around the earth.

Furthermore I would much prefer an XDA S-Off with no strings attached, as opposed to an HTC full or partial warranty voiding S-Off, which might be stipulated as part of giving some people S-Off, which is just a hunch but a strong possibility nonetheless.

BTW, I haven't seen the future, but next time you're there bring us some roms and kernels from after our bootloaders are unlocked by HTC and it would be a great help to the dev community.

Thanks.

Hi Eugene373

With the Last Final version , I just lost root after about 1 hour.

Shoot Me was working fine , then after sometime I turned it on again to shoot a screen but it says I do not have root. ( I did not RE-BOOT)

++++++++

Secondly, today for the first time I saw MINUS VALUES on my task manager`s Total Memory

Today just 1-2 hours ago,I saw (-)34600MB USED and (-)34600MB FREE

Then another time just 10 minutes ago , I saw (-)150MB and (-)150MB Free

In both incidents I had to turn OFF the Sensation and re-run the script to gain Root.

Could this be caused by your script somehow ?

Some programs started acting weird (for example I could not install apps from market , I was getting UNSUCCESFULL messages so I went to task manager to kill some aplications and then I saw this (-) values

Later on I had received a MMS message , I could not download the picture , so I went to task mamager again and it was again on (-) values ????
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
That's just HTC Task manager being glitch and generally a piece of crap. Go to Manage Applications> Running to see your true Free/Used Ram/Running Processes ALWAYS!

Hope that helps!
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Thats exactly what I had been going through too. I think there is something wrong with this version, keep losing root.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
Currently I am NOT rooted so everything seems OK .......

But this happened to me two times today since the 1 month I own a Sensation, I am thinking that it`s NOT a coincidence. But I will re-run the script once more .....

Secondly, there has got to be an error really because , Market could not Install the downloaded applications giving me an Unsuccesful Message and the phone could not download the MMS message ( Multimedia message Pictures of only 29KB) giving me an Error again.....

After re-boot all was OK
