Great stuff worked in one try compared to others i had to try a buncha times.. All i did was reboot and run the .bat file eugene said to run and voila it is running titanium without any hiccups and setcpu, root explorer, lcd density (just for testing) bloat freezer and all that good stuff and i finally instead of freezing apps i deleted them phone is FAST =]
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Since our apps are removed, it would need to be modified to remove your apps. Good to see you here Eugene.
[HTC Sensation] k2buckley:
kyle@ubuntu:~$ adb shell

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

# echo $PATH

/sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin

#

That's my output, so it looks like it should work. My only other question, is what about the apps that it removes? I see that it removes some T mobile stuff. Should I remove that part of your script before attempting to run this? Thanks again. Time to fire up the windows machine...
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
The apps actually delete and stay deleted?
[HTC Sensation] luca_3_93:
Works on all Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Yes it will work on the Evo 3D then... Regarding apps, if not in place it wont remove & nothing to worry about...

No it's still a temp removal due to the temp status of root. Only difference here is not losing root at all.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
@eugene what would be a manual way to do what your bat file is doing? I have no access to a windows computer.

HOW CAN I SETCPU DEVICE...i would like to underclock to set to conservative and save on battery is this possible yet eugene? thanks
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Just open the .bat with a text editor and run the commands

thanks......i dont want to overclock it.......i want to be able to use setcpu and autodetect speeds as per say.......my old mytouch 4g that was rooted. not change the kernel but w/ current kernel be able to autodetect and then set to conservative for battery saver? i saw this thread but its too advance for me...hehe thanks for prompt responses man! ;)
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
btw..with your temp root which is soooo stablei use the solute system apk or even titanium and just wipe data from apps not in use example the stock voicemail? fm radio per say? as a few aps that are not in use..voicemail as example...i use youmail visual voicemail and works great

[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
We aren't running a custom kernel, so those options your looking for don't exist on a stock kernel nor will it ever. You won't see those options until we are fully rooted running a custom kernel.
[HTC Sensation] innerspace:
seems to work on linux

cd to download directory

copy/paste adb commands from .bat file into terminal, wait patiently.

root checker shows root enabled, Adblock runs fine, Volume+ force closes.

Thanks for rolling all this up in a handy package.
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
ahhhhh thanks Shaq

Works perfectly. OP, you. Are. AWESOME.

Massive n00b question coming up, but I'm coming from an iPhone so my knowledge of Android is limited. Please bare with me.

If i install this temp/perma-root...

1) if i reboot my phone will it remove the root?

2) is it safe to go ahead and delete any of the apps on my phone that I dont want?

3) if my phone looses the root after a reboot, will all the apps I've deleted return?

4) will a factory reset bring back the apps that I've deleted (if i ever need to send my phone back to my network provider)?

Sorry for the silly questions, thanks a lot.
[HTC Sensation] k2buckley:
1). Yes

2). Somewhat, depending on the app. Be careful

3). Yes

4). Yes, but they will return after a reboot anyways. Once perm root with s off is achieved, then we can permanently remove apps.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
And problems arise...

I had to reboot so I ran it again, and now all my root apps are saying I don't have root. I tried rebooting again & removing SU before trying it again, I even tried rebooting my computer- no luck. It keeps saying remount failed, device offline, no such file or directory, & read-only filesystem.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Thanks for your response dude. Appreciate it. The idea is not to reboot then, should be an interesting challenge with the battery life of this phone (lol)

Thanks again
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Amazing! Thank you VERY much mate!

Confirmed that SetCPU and AdFree work with this! GET IN!
[HTC Sensation] Rypht:
Thankyou kindly for this. Keep up the great work!

Would like to add that "Samba Filesharing" also works like clockwork
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
I'll be getting a Sensation today and I'm really pleased to see this posted.

Do I need to do anything else before applying this root method and does it matter which software version it's running?

Also, if I wanted to retain any of the apk's that are removed I assume I can simply remove the individual lines from the bat files before running it.
[HTC Sensation] maxtcee:
In the old temp root method you can use the app only once and then loose root us that still the same here?
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
May be I'm missing something... but what's the point of removing apps if they come back after reboot? Would we be better off just disabling things we don't want since they DO stay disabled after reboot?
[HTC Sensation] Switcherd:
My commandprompt is stuck on line:

"rm: remove '/system/app/Protips.apk'?"

What to do now?
[HTC Sensation] ZAVHome:
Press "Y". But system will write "Read-only state". And not delete this file.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Go and read the OP. It tells you there...
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Good point...

Whats the difference between this root and the root by Wisefire's Easy Fre3vo?

If you need to re-root after a reboot, what's the difference?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
No sure I'm following... Charging the battery != a reboot (unless you fancy kids are swapping batteries)

You should be able to go days/weeks without a reboot. !?!?!?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
This means you can use apps like SetCPU and Root Explorer PROPERLY! With full root. Yes, you need to re-root after a reboot, but it makes apps work properly. And really, how often do you need to reboot an Android phone anyway :p
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Yeah I see what ur sayin, but if start using my phone to an extent that the battery runs low away from home, I have no way of charging... And yes I know that's the same for every phone, but let's be honest, the battery runs out a lot faster than other phones.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Thanks for your reply.

I'm new to all this Android lark, so sorry for the dumb ass questions
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Okay.. Lets see if I can clear up a Few Question some might have regarding this!!

1. Yes it's still a temp Root

2. The Reason why I used /vendor/bin is due to it being in the export $PATH like /system/bin & /system/xbin is, so you can still type su or make calls to the su binary without issues as if it was in the export path of /system/bin or /system/xbin.. ( If you're not familiar with how export $PATH work on Linux, a quick Google search will help. )

4. The Reason we Lose Root ( Su binary & Busybox symlinks ) is once the System say TIME-OUT & remounts as R/O we lose everything. However with /vendor/bin we avoid this situation all together, there for keeping SU & Busybox intact & working.

5. Yes removing the App's are only temporary, but I did it to help clean the clutter apps I don't use.

6. The .bat file is nothing more that a text file, so you can edit / remove / Add as you see fit for your device liking.

Like I said, I hope to see others start using vendor/bin & I only found this solution by Poking around & honestly I'm sure somebody would have found this work around sooner or later..

Until then, Happy Rooting.

Working Great ...

Do I have to have to do anything to my phone prior to plugging in and running this?

ie, Any sort of temp root beforehand or install any particular apps etc.
[HTC Sensation] warmthsound:
the command terminal just hangs on daemon started successfully. doesn't seem to do much else. already removed super user and rebooted the phone and pc prior to running the batch file. does it look like i'm going to need a factory reset?

[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Worked perfect! Thanks for this!
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:

[HTC Sensation] umka83:
Thanks so much - installed and working with my Titanium backup

This is a great development,

3 remarks though

1) Uninstalling the app using TB is not removing the app from the drawer completely. The app now gives an FC but is still in the drawer. I think ADB should be used for that.

2) This does nont work with Quickboot - obviously it is not needed as root rights are lost anyways upon reboot

3) Most important - I was not able to flush a Custom MMS.APK which is one of the main reasons i want root....

Still waiting and hoping for the Permanent Perma Root :)

[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
First of all tanks for your work, i want to share my experience running your .bat.

My phone is s-on so i have run the script wich is working very well and got root privileges for setCPU, ADFREE, Titanium ect.

After that i switched off the phone and after restarting it i was expecting that those applications that need root were not working. I was surprised to discover that Superuser has still granted the privileges to all applications included in its list.

Is this correct?
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
This is the best temp root approach yet!!

And yes, I have tried all of them
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
No, you probably have fastboot enabled thus you didnt shut down or reboot
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
Yes i have fastboot enabled and i will continue in this way so i don not need to rerun the script.

Waiting for perma-root this is the best solution.
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
No, superuser will in fact show that still. Even though it won't work until you run the script again.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
do i understand this correctly that root rights are gone after reboot or is there somthing going wrong on my phone? works like charm but after reboot, root is gone again.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
That is correct, if you reboot, you loose the root thus needing to rerun the .bat file
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
Superuser is still up and working after fast reboot and all the apps with root priviles before still mantain the same privileges.

Checked three times
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
not with me though, after reboot (fast reboot enabled) i loose all root priviledges..
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
I am sorry for you. I did not something special.

I just run the script in xp virtual machine with administrator privileges.

That's all.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Good to know. Im gonna use fastboot now.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
running from win 7 64bit and didnt run it with admin priviledges.

maybe thats the problem... nothing i couldnt live with though :) im happy enough there is finally a temp-root :)

anybody knows if this helps the devs much in creating permanent root to flash costum roms? when can we calculate with this? :)

[HTC Sensation] doalittledanse:
I'm on a US sensation and can't get it working, do we have to do the regular temp root before we run this?

EDIT: I just read the original fr3vo instructions and it does the same thing so i answered my own question. It looks like that method isn't sticking on my phone because all the commands after it say they can't do it because there is no root
[HTC Sensation] philliman:

[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
I've just been guiding a friend through this process over the phone, everything worked perfect first time for hats off for that....

... But...

... when freezing apps with titanium backup pro, it starts the freeze timer thing then stops... And freezes itself... We have go kill titanium VIA the task manager and reopen it... But the app still freezes as originally requested...

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
Awesome! the only solution so far that lets me use root explorer with root mounted as r/w and with working adfree.

This is probably the best we'll get till fre3dom comes along
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Works GREAT! It's basically a click and go install. SuperUser seemed to not work after 2 reboots, however I just installed it and ran the bat file and all was good again.

[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hi Eugene...quick question.

Eugene....thank you so much for your work!!

One question.... I would imagine you've thought about this...

Is there anyway to put a script in place on-board the Sensation (internal or SD card), that runs this temp root bat file automatically AFTER every reboot?

Thus keeping it rooted, reboot or not.

Similar to say the script I have on my win7 x64 pc that runs a driver signature block each time I start up my PC.

Just curious if thats at all possible... If it is....I'll buy you a case of Pepsi :p

Thanks a bunch!!!! :)

Does this mean everytime we yank the battery, or reboot, we have to run to our computer to run the bat file again? Cause this would suck as I run through 3 batteries a night when at work.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Refer to the process described here. This is what worked for me. Move the fre3vo files to a folder on your C drive named "a", then edit the .bat file to match the code in the box. I just opened the "Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT" file in notepad, copied & pasted the code in the box on that post, saved it, and it worked perfectly for me on first run after hours of errors trying everything else.

Using fastboot I got adfree to actually work.
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
Yea, I couldn't delete apps using root explorer too. What I did was find the name of the app using root explorer, and then I opened "Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat" with notepad and added the command "adb shell rm -r /system/app/whatever_app_it_is.apk", restart the phone, and then ran the batch file again.
