Hi Eugene,

I don't know what I am doing wrong, btu for information purposes I'm including what my screen looks like while trying to load the root file.

I have rooted other devices with your rooting methods with no problems, but I don't understand wht if anything I am doing wrong with my Sensation.

Any info will be greatly appreciated

Ok I did that and process completed but any root apps I try and use return an error telling me my phone is not rooted. In Terminal Emulator when I type 'su' I get a "permission denied" error. Help plz. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
Got the same thing, what i did is reintalled the HTC SYNC then uninstall again and run the root again.

I let a advise for everyone that has problems whit the script:

Uninstall Superuser App and busybox before execute the scripts!

Yesterday I had problens with that!

I 'm testing this new version to see if lose root after some time.

Yesterday I install Fre3vo_Sensation.zip and everything goes well. I wake up and still have root.

Script is working good now in every reboot. The 7-12 one would always fail.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
So, after experimenting with this version of the root script, I haven't had the Root Explorer problem once. I'm not sure what changes were made, or if this is a strong coincidence or my imagination, but that's what I've noticed.

Eugene, was anything relevant changed in this version that would cause the issue to go away?

Perma-Temp Root Final is now Posted for #Evo 3D & #Sensation! I've yet to lose Root all day with it.

Q. I thought RW was Fixed?

A. Caused by Deleting an apk that was already deleted. Journaling shows it still there!

Keep Track of what you delete, as trying to delete something off system that you alread di hangs the /system into RO state.

[HTC Sensation] Jamison904:
Thanks Eugene for the awesome work!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yea man, thanks for all the work! Im a total "noob" at all this, yet I still have root thanks to this stuff!

Any luck adding overclock back to this for us? I dont know why, but your programs work magic on my laptop, so I figure you are my only hope at getting overclock working on my sensation!

Thanks!

[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
For anybody asking why setcpu isn't using good values for the sensation you need the oc module installed then it will work with our frequencies. It does not necessarily mean you need to OC, just need the module to read the correct frequencies :)
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi to all,

My phone has the "superuser" icon but not rooted, I have uninstalled it along with the busybox & reinstalled it 8 times but no luck, can anyone help me please hot to activate the Root?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
First, make sure you have read everything in this thread to make sure you have all the right stuff on and off (i.e USB debugging ON) if everything is good try running the program a couple times in a row.
[HTC Sensation] Ivanstein:
The latest iteration of this tool is by far the best working I have used. AdFree is working, as well as Root Explorer.

Great work!
[HTC Sensation] wildcard:
As per the original post:

Can someone explain how to do this step by step?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Make sure Terminal Emulator is installed on your phone.

Open Terminal Emulator.

Type "su" (without quotes).

Press Enter Key (thanks Towle :))

Type "fixit" (without quotes).

Press Enter Key (thanks Towle :))

Close Terminal Emulator.

The above method is only in the unlikely event that you lose root while your phone is running. If you lost root because you rebooted your phone, you need to repeat the exact same process that you originally did to root the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
don't forget to hit enter after su ;)
[HTC Sensation] hendr1k:
is it possible to install newest gtalk?
[HTC Sensation] nerlim:
I do not understand the utility!

The icon appears superuser, but does not work, for example screenshots will not go, Romanagers do not go!
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
I used this tool last night. Had to remove superuser, busybox wasn't present on my device. After that I restarted and ran the batch file and everything worked from there on the second try. From me not renoving superuser I kept getting a error remount message.
[HTC Sensation] mdfine:
Root exploit works fine here, however I am not able to get the adfree hosts file to etc. I do not get r/w access.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
if you Don't have RW then the Exploit didn't Work.. Reboot & Run It again, It's Very Common for it to Fail, When Failed You won't have RW or SU / Root on your Phone other than Terminal / Superuser...... Reboot & Run it again.

Thanks,

How to unzip the file so I can get the SU Binary?

I downloaded the file that was post at the beginning of this Thread, but how do unzip to get SU Binary I can force it throught my Sensation 4g?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
So this works for GSM Sensations? Doesn't mention on the OP
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Works great on my unbranded EUR device.

Only thing that doesnt work is rom manager, but that isnt needed at this point....
[HTC Sensation] mdfine:
I have superuser/root but no r/w access.
[HTC Sensation] raysacr:
Same here. Titanium Backup and Setcpu work. But Root Explorer does not have R/W for system folder.
[HTC Sensation] stoneyjonez:
Are there any non-GSM Sensations?
[HTC Sensation] aatjitra:

Thanks....
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Once I deleted superuser . The temp root script worked perfect on the 1st try thanks.

My root explorer has system r/w I don't know for how long . But for right now it does.
[HTC Sensation] irakliontevza:
is this tool useble for russian or europian sensation?
[HTC Sensation] TheAnarchist1:
I have no clue if anybody really cares too much, but I just figured I would put the information out there in this thread, since I use this method (which works wonderfully). Take the information as you may. While out and about last night, my phone COMPLETELY died, face down in the mud dead, so the saying goes. I know this root method is supposed to only stick until reboot, but when I hooked my phone back up after I got home (it was completely dead and had shut off) the root was still there! I still had su access in terminal, and all of my root apps work flawlessly! I did not re-run the method this morning either! It survived a reboot!
[HTC Sensation] mayhem1983:
Eugene just wanted to say you are the man! Great dev!
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
This happened because you have fastboot turned on. Your phone shut down but with fastboot enabled. This root will survive fastboot reboot or partial shutdown which you experienced, but not full reboot or full shutdown.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Hello,

I am having trouble with Adfree. It doesnt work! Haha, simple huh? I am rooted, as I am happily running setcpu, freezing bloatware with Titanium, but despite Adfree giving me the go ahead, all ads show up still.

Also, when I type SU (in terminal emulator) and then fixit, I get a message that fixit is not found. Im sure this is an idiot mistake on my part, but anyone care to bring me up to speed?

Maybe Adfree needs a real restart of the phone rather than fast reboot from the app? I have fast reboot enabled on my phone...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] mdfine:
You do not have r/w access, same as here. So adfree cannot overwrite the .hosts file.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Is that due to error on our part, or is it a bug? It seems to work on some apps, but not others. Angry Birds still has ads, but I watched the Quadrant ads go away. Every now and then I have to "refresh" Adfree in order to get the few ads it blocks to go away.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
On my phone,the root stays after reboot even when i pull out the battery.

Is this normal?

i have just removed the bloatware and sense with viperMOD.

edit:s-on
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

I have been for 2 days trying to root my sensation following eveerything here but no luck!
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
If you'd like help, we're really gonna need more information than "Root doesn't work". What's the error message, what's the problem, etc...
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
The trick thats working for me. Is i reboot my phone and once my phone boots into the lockscreen. I open it make I check charge and run the script. SENSE usually is still loading while the root script runs.

Its works on the 1st try now everytime using this method.
[HTC Sensation] nxt:
I turn fastboot off, shut down, battery pull, boot back up

I launch terminal type fixit, nothing. I type su, nothing.

So I have to rerun the bat file from the PC everytime?
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Yes. SU and then fixit is only if you happen to lose root while the phone is running. Every time the phone is turned off or rebooted, you need to rerun the .bat from the PC as if you had never rooted before.
[HTC Sensation] fabioccoelho:
Works for Htc Sensation non 4G?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] illmatic416:
Would updating an app cause the RO state to hang also? I updated Better Terminal Pro last night and it didn't kill root, but it did hang /system into RO state and "fixit" did not work. Same thing happened tonight when I updated Titanium Backup Pro...root was still up, but Root Explorer and BetterTerminal didn't recognize it.
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
So, where is download for Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
Yes, sensation 4g and normal sensation are exactly the same apart from it doesn't have 4g capabilities ;)

First post?

HTC Swyped from my Sensation using XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
Thanks. I was thinking the same but it will be proper for OP to add Sensation without 4G in first post.
[HTC Sensation] simply_rell:
I really need someone's help with getting r/w to push thru to my sensation && does anyone know how to get absolute system to work on temp root please help me out email sirfresh09@gmail.com or u can call me just email me for my number please
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Nobody replied your message but your post in my opinion is the most important in all this 45 pages. Any research on this?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Anyone here getting Adfree to work with this? For me, it only seems to block a few things.

Also, should typing "fixit" into terminal do anything if root is still good?Just for the hell of it, I typed "su" (saw the # show up) and then typed "fixit" and got a "not found" message.

BTW-This root works everytime for me! MAKE SURE HTC Sync is OFF your computer. Somehow, it managed to get back onto my phone from somewhere and caused the root to fail. Removal brought back instant success!

Matt
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
proper?

LMOA!

I posted what it works on, Sensation 4G ( My Phone ) if it works on others so be it.. but Proper? I wont Post something & say it works when I don't have the Device, so the OP will stay the way it is regardless.
[HTC Sensation] simply_rell:
So im guessing no one is willing to help me out ? All i would like to know is if you can change the system fonts using absolute system or any other font changer if so please reply to this && r/w isnt mounted on my device am i the only one having this problem n i follwed all the instructions
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Easy Eugene... Lol... And thanks for the post btw... Sensation rock solid rooted!
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
Temproot

Launcher pro installed

Viper mod and removed sfr (vodaphone) stuff,a1 stuff,sense apps,rosie,and tetris.

Installed no lock and uninstalled bloatware with titanium backup (not the sense stuff as far as i remember).

A friend of mine was home for flashing android on his hd2.

I put a cm7 on it,then i wanted to show him sense 3 on the sensation (to flash a sense rom on his hd2 in case he'd love it).

So i rebooted (no fastboot,),unable to get sense back and unable to type my pincode (dialer was too fast).Even with battery pulled out...

The problem is that i didn't tried su in the terminal,so maybe i wasn't root.

So I think the write protection chip did not his job this time...

Tried to reproduce with no luck.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
The Bugs I have Found with Write-protection being on with the exploit & how to trigger them..

Installing Apps from SD:

If you install anything from the sd & open ( open or Done ) menu can & will force a ro & removed root..

Install / Updating apps from Market:

Once again opening the app on first install likely will remove root & Force a ro

So it seems there is an issue rather it be the Application installer or something deeper to the issue, I've not sunk a huge amount of time into it as once I restore or do a new install / update I have been opening the apps ( Root or no root ) and finishing my setup..

Once done & all apps have been open to write /data/data/com.yada.yada/**

I typically do a Reboot & re-root & things seem to be fine.

Hope this helps,

~Eugene
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Hey Eugene, so... not to doubt you at all, because, well, you know your scripts better than anyone else here, but I've tried replicating the steps you said would lose root, and I haven't been able to.

Installing apps from SD and opening them, installing from market and opening the apps, nothing seems to lose root for me. Is is possible that there's something else on your phone causing the issue? Could others confirm or refute whether they are able to lose root by the above steps?

Again, maybe you did a better job than you expected, because no matter what I've tried so far, I've been unable to lose root or lose the R/W on the /system partition.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] nerdo:
My battery (OEM) died and phone shut down automatically. I hooked it up to the charger and turned it on thinking "here we go again... need to apply temp root again and reinstall Titanium and restore.....etc"

But you know what everything was there, rooted with superuser and the whole bunch :D

So I guess for me as well this is kinda of a perm root!

Any dev care to explain?

@eugene373 thanks for your efforts mate!
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Mine is also rooted and never looses root an R/W unless of course I reboot the phone. Rock solid.
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
That exact escenario happened to me too... Whole 9 yards after reboot... But if I manually reboot... then root is lost... Is think there is some sort of cache being saved with a bit of battery charge. (like a fast boot happens)

BTW... No need to reinstall anything... Just re-root and all apps will keep working as usual... Done it a bunch of times...
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ok I can confirm this happens to me as well. Everytime Sense reboots from either an application launch or market install/uninstall, MOST times Sense reboots and root is lost. Terminal SU and fixit doesn't cannot be done. I have to rerun the bat util to redo root.

At this time I am going to take all apps that are on the sd card and move them to the phone to see if that solves the sense reboot issue.
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
Have you disabled sense before?
[HTC Sensation] nerdo:
No... now why would I do that :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
I disabled sense, no loss of rw for after installing apps from sd. Must have something to do with sense, cause I've had system rw for 3 days straight.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Sense is irrelevant. I have sense running and have not disabled anything essential to sense, and I've not had any issues either.
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
To see if this sticky-perma-temp-root has something to see with sense.:o
[HTC Sensation] mdfine:
Tried to figure out...

Deleted the superuser and terminal apk files. Run the exploit again. Guess what, I got r/w and it sticks even after adfree has installed new .hosts file.

Nevertheless I got ads in Angry Birds so there seems to be yet another problem regarding adfree...

I can confirm it is working with european units.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
For the people that are having this issue with Adfree, it could very well be caused by the fact that Adfree alerts you when you update hosts that you might have to reboot in order to clear the cache or something like that. We obviously can't reboot, but Adfree can't do its job fully if we don't reboot. Catch-22.

Try rooting, installing Adfree and updating hosts, and then rebooting and rooting again. See if that works.
[HTC Sensation] :
Works well :)

Thanks Eugene for this great tool.
[HTC Sensation] mdfine:
So, after a couple of hours r/w is gone again and the .hosts file is the original one.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Question

Just got a Sensation and first thing i am doing is popping on here to see if it's been rooted yet, so i think this is probably the most up to date thread towards rooting.

I'm in the UK and the phone is unlocked to all networks, not sure about the security but i would like to root it so i can use some of the apps which require it, and maybe get rid of some of the crap which HTC have put on it, like Stocks and News.

So i can see that the thread started said that he's kept root since doing this method, is this true or will it reset on reboot? (i tend to reboot daily and if thats the case it's no good for me)

Also i can see the downloads are for different phones and the flyer, it says the sensation 4g, so would i use that one or am i at a loss?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Yeah, Adsfree is one app that screws the pooch on root
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Yes it works for european HTC Sensation ;)
[HTC Sensation] sodycc:
Great tool--THX a lot..but...

is there a way to get R/W access to

\Phone Memory\system\customize\resource\..... ???:confused::confused::confused:

In there are all branded vendor files - would like to exchange them.:p:p:p

Greetz from Switzerland:D
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Nice one, and i'm right in thinking that when i reboot my phone that i will lose root right?

So how is the thread starter able to keep root then? Unless i've read it wrong.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
You will lose the temp-root only if you shutdown the device and remove the battery or you reboot it with the long-press start button. Use the fastboot app instead.

I have issue with Adfree, otherwise it works like a charm.
[HTC Sensation] :
Also works with a branded Sensation here in Australia :)
[HTC Sensation] simply_rell:
Is there anyway to change the system front without using absolute system && rebooting the phone ? Please someone help
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Great theory... But its wrong...

I'll be updating soon, though the output of the script looks to be edited & not my original script.
[HTC Sensation] Atlantian:
Eugene yes its your script, I just added my APK installations. I pulled it from the OP. Unless I grabed the wrong script. Ill double check. anyways, I would appreciate some help with this problem.
