hello

i would like to temp root my sensation to move my applications from my desire to the sensation using titanium backup.

In desire i use a software called visionary+ to temp root it and when i reboot it it became unrooted as it is from factory.

The same happens using your tool here?

My questions are :

1) when i root my sensation i will be able to use titanium to transfer my favorites applications from desire?

2) when i reboot sensation the device will be back in factory state?

3) s-on will be influenced? or it has nothing to do with this discussion and this tool??
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hello....

I just want to make sure you know that PERMANENT ROOT and S-OFF has already been achieved.

Your stock ROM will remain in place...no change.... even after PERM ROOT.

Life became MUCH easier a few days ago :D

Hello

thank you for the response

Do i lose warranty if i perm root and s-off my phone?

What do i earn from that?

Is it possible to keep my existing official rom?

Is it possible to s-on and unroot again like factory settings?
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Anyone ..... please!
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
all easily answered if u go to the provided thread
[HTC Sensation] sundar_amn:
Someone please close this thread..
[HTC Sensation] fkofilee:
agreed

thread needs to be closed, but yes, you invalidate your warranty.

Please be aware if you wanted to do what you wanted to do , it is possible to do it as long as you switch the mem card over youll bebable to move your apps over :)
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
where is the provided thread???
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
what do you mean???
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
As the OP, MOD's, please close this thread, no need for it now.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
It seems sort of pointless but I could see how this thread would be useful to some, who just want to temp root and freeze stuff and are squeamish about flashing. Or to people who want to wait for HTC S-Off as strange as all of it sounds to me.

That's why we have this thread now, for permanent S-OFF and root.

all of that cane be by temp root

but if you can make it permanent without s-off
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Today my phone updated to 1.45 its.

After that I tried this tool to temp root and it didn't work.

Is due to new update?
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Probably. But why do you insist on using this obsolete method?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
So he can lessen the value of your stock in HTC/Tmobile through warranty fraud...

Seriously, he may be like many here that dont feel like flashing everyone and their grandma's buggy ROMs, but WOULD like to remove a lot of bloatware. All that, and NOT have to suck it from the big boys in the event a button falls off and they see he has S-OFF on his phone.

I think the reasons are pretty obvious, why not assume the best rather than assume someone is out to commit fraud or that they are stupid? They managed to FIND these "lost" threads in all the permanent ones. They likely felt that the permanent one, and the potential to lose their warranty, wasnt what they needed....

It is STILL a wonderful method for people that just need to do some basics to make their phone, THEIRS and then be good to go in the event they need a warranty honored.

Shocking, huh?
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
You lost me at the part where I assume he's out to commit fraud. I have no idea what you're talking about or even what his intentions are. I'm just pointing out that this method is obsolete. If he was serious about removing bloat he should get S-OFF and obtain root using the widely used method now which is Revolutionary. If warranty is a concern he can always revert back. There are guides on here for how to do that. He can even remain on the stock ROM and not worry about some buggy ROM. I don't understand your hostility. But, hey, if he wants to attempt this method, which never worked 100% right when it came out and may not even work after his update, that's fine by me.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Why dont you go re-read some of your posts, calling people out on fraud simply because they want to exchange a defunct piece of equipment.

And, telling someone to S-OFF just to remove bloatware, is like telling someone they need to OC their phone to max so that they can check their email.

Both arent necessary for their respective needs. Going back to S-ON isnt as easy as flipping a switch, and someone that is new to all this could wind up with a bricked phone. All to get some bloatware frozen? Im quite positive most people would agree that it isnt worth all the risk just to end some bloatware...

The temp root method works, and reliably so. So easy, a fricken cave man could do it!

If this person wants to go S-OFF their phone, then have to go through the headache of S-ON again when their dang power button stops working and a warranty exchange is required, be MY guest!

[HTC Sensation] emadsamy:
just root

i agree for that very much

not afraid just wait for finish warranty
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Ok, I get it. You're trolling me because of that one post I made in another thread regarding someone who admits to making a warranty claim every few months to get a new phone, including just before contract is up so he can sell a brand new phone. That's hardly someone who wants to exchange a defunct piece of equipment. I didn't even call it fraud. Just pointed it out. I have no issue with warranty claims for faulty equipment. But, this is way off topic now. Take care.
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Look,

I don't want permit root or s-off because of the reasons already mentioned. Not to lose warranty. I just want to root to use titanium, setcpu etc. Nothing more. So after update is it possible this tool here to work again?
[HTC Sensation] alphadog32:
Sorry, They have stopped Developing Perma-Temp Roots, But you can S-OFF and then when you want to return to warranty, you could use my post for instructions on how to remove it! :D
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
where is the link of instructions how to s-off and s-on again???
[HTC Sensation] alphadog32:
S-OFF is in the Top, The S-ON i made is Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1201773 :D
[HTC Sensation] eXelero:
Android Revolution HD still had the bloatware on it, so ran it and got rid of the crappy stuff. thx for this great bloatware disabler! :)
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Anyone? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
Use Revolutionary, its a permanent root.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Don't want to void warranty, hence the temp-root.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
just flash a stock ruu for your phone and carrier if you have to send it in for repairs it will be stock again without root or s-off
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I do not think that is correct. My understanding is that doing so will remove root, however the phone will still be S-OFF. Therefore you can not return it for warranty purposes unless you go through a much more laborious (and risky) procedure to actually get S-ON.
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Right. If I can't get back S-ON without a great deal of risk, I'd rather not take the risk.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I am glad I didnt root my (2nd) Sensation as this one also just developed dust under the screen after less than a week. It is going back to Tmobile tomorrow, and I have insisted they send me a brand new, recently produced one this time. Assuming that one isnt also defective I plan on rooting it, however at this rate I might not get around to that until I get a totally different phone!
[HTC Sensation] hipisek:
Hi,

i have trouble with this script dosnt work for me...

D:\Stažené Soubory\Easy Fre3vo\Easy Fre3vo\Windows>adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

Locating access point...

The exploit has failed.

Some problem with "exploit"

How to fix it?

Second is that if you can make root access for one time you can remount / and copy files pernament or no?
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
Don't use it. Its a dead tool. Use Revolutionary.
[HTC Sensation] Kitinas:
One other quick note, at least for me:

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled from Menu > Applications > Development.
[HTC Sensation] Hakimy:
just to make sure,if I restarted my phone do I have to do these steps again? connecting the phone to pc and run the file?
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I already have superuser installed. It got the the part where it wanted to install superuser and said "failure already exists" and is stuck there.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
@B-Man2005 Perhaps, I used to have the ADB Server issue, then I uninstalled HTC Sync, fixed everything.

@Kitinas I'll add that to the OP, thanks.

@Hakimy Yes, it'll say you already have SuperUser.apk installed, but it's no big deal.

@silentsnow31802 It should say press any key to continue, then once you do, it will close. If not just hit exit, it should have still worked, if all went well.
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Yep. Pain in the byoo-ttocks, but it's the best we've got right now. :)
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
Indeed, make sure HTC Sync isn't running or you'll continually get the "killing server" message or something to that effect every time you issue a command. I was having fits until someone else pointed this out...didn't even know HTC Sync was running. :o
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Okay. It did not ask me to press any key but I just closed it and it was working fine. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
For those with Macintosh, I'm working on a script! Hope it works out!

@silentsnow31802 Glad to hear it worked out:)
[HTC Sensation] gavin-phelan:
Do I need the phone conected
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Thanks, but did not last rooted very long. I would say I lost root in under 8-10 min. tops
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
@gavin-phelan@hotmail.com Yes, you need to connect your phone via the USB cable that comes with the device.

@Zoth That's odd, I did this hours ago and I still have root access.
[HTC Sensation] wyfer:
When do you think you are finish with the mac scribt?
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
I'm working on it with a friend, who has Mac, while I'm in a virtual machine, I'm installing the SDK and such, as well as learning Apple Script! So, hopefully within the next few hours.
[HTC Sensation] erdemdengel:
working perfect..

thanks

do not forget to uninstall HTC Sync
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
@d-iivil Do you have HTC sync installed? If so try uninstalling. It got in my way as well, just like that.
[HTC Sensation] d-iivil:
Sure I have and adb is working fine and I'm able to root with the "manual" method described in the "official" Fre3vo thread. Thought just giving this a try, but didn't work out :)

Will try to reboot the phone, shutdown HTC Sync and try again...
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
i can get titanium rooted ... but autokiller and sd speed increase cant get root ???

do you know why ??
[HTC Sensation] Squalli:
setcpu started, i just wasnt able to chose from the correct chipset... so i couldnt oc it.. :D To bad.. ^^
[HTC Sensation] Hakimy:
do I need to install terminal emulator on my phone or just do the steps in the op?
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
Cant get titanium rooted here also. I see the Superuser installed.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
@B-Man2005 and Squalli - I read in the original thread for Fre3vo that it won't work with all application's, but I'm not sure what it is limited too.

@Hakimy Just complete the steps and you can use some applications that require root.

@ceroglu Try killing the task. If it still doesn't, then it may not have worked, you can reboot your device and run the .bat again for another try.
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Thank you sooo mutch, this it's great for the people with no experience and knowledge how to do with adb!!!
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
:-) ok ... not all apps get root... mmhhh so what now ..??

could someone give me some other apps that could increase UI and sd card speed please ? :o couse sd speed increase and autokiller cant optain root for me :-(
[HTC Sensation] raulinchi:
Thanks, the superuser installed.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
The only two application I use it for are Titanium Backup and Screenshot it.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
ok .... i knew it :)

better than nothing ... thank you anyway man ....at least till now i could backup all my apps. its great .. thanks man
[HTC Sensation] bigmike2424:
Each time I try to run the fr3vo batch file I get c:/windows/system32/adb (each command)

'Adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

And I'm in windows 7 with the files extracted to program files in the c drive

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
I know after rooting I was able to use adfree and got an SU permission, Then tried adfree again a few minutes later and can't get SU permission anymore.

Oh well everyday is a step towards s-off anyway...Thanks again. It is a good work.
[HTC Sensation] ZeeGerman:
thank man this made it so much easier
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
Hm, I can't even get it to let Adfree acquire root. Sorry about that, I guess it's another to put on that list of what doesn't currently work with temp root.
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
I got Titanium installed, I have SU too, but for some reason no Screenshot apps work. They all are saying they can't find root.
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Dude I <3 YOU! Thanks has been given and so has ROOT :eek:

TB!

Dump showing ROOT

Same here and was about to ask about that.
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
Just figured out the problem with my root. If you dont have android sdk installed on your computer then you will not be asked for root permission. Thanked you OP. This makes the life a lot easier!
[HTC Sensation] Differentiation:
+3.

Nice job, this script worked really well! Appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] tengtengvn:
I think Adfree modifies the hosts file @ /etc/hosts to block ads. That's the system file. You can't mount it as R/W ATM.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
@Shay D. Life I use Screenshot it (Market Link) It was the only one I could get to work right.

@tengtengvn That could be a possibility.
[HTC Sensation] Nivek91:
Thank you! That would help me as I don't have a PC
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
Still doesn't work for me. However I did notice that SU says the binary needs to be updated.
[HTC Sensation] Wisefire:
Odd, I included the latest one.. Try updating it perhaps?
[HTC Sensation] DeFiant*X:
Finally! This and other bat files would not work for me because I kept getting the adb server not running message. If anyone is getting this error message, it is because HTC Sync restarts adb automatically. So therefore, just disable HTC Sync and it WILL work flawlessly.

Great work Wisefire!
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
I did and this is what I get back:

An error occurred and su was not
updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.
zip) has been placed on you sdcard,
please reboot into recovery mode and
flash it to update your su binary.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Cool beans man, Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
why not all

hi guys

not all root apps are working because they are coded to look for su in a specific directory on the phone.

Su is currently being pushed to a different location than the standard one because the standard location is write-protected or will not hold su for a long time due to S-on returning that folder to its original state

there is an app that i use that requires root and did not work with frevo or any of the new scripts floating around in this forum, so a guy actually did me a favor and edited the apk to make it look for su in the new location where it is being pushed and this program was able to get root and worked perfectly

titanium backup workes because i heard it comes with all the tools packages with it

wonder if there is a work around to get all apps to work without having to edit apks

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Thanks for the easy tool bro! I Just hit the thanks button! I had fre3vo running already but this was easy and got my TB running. Its alot easier to freeze apps than disable them in adb because you can see them. This will help alot of members!

EDIT...I GET THE SAME MESAAGE AS SHADY WHEN TRYING TO UPDATE BINARY.
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
I was going to wait for s off, but after seeing this I might have to give it a try. Thanks for the work you put in.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Do it! Take all the bloatware out, phone runs smooth as hell. I have around 280 of free ram . It feels rooted already but without custom recovery, flashing roms and kernels and no root explorer. Remember to also uncheck the tell HTC in our settings>about phone...it helps! This is ythe next best thing to having s-off. I'm a happy camper :D
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
how did you remove the bloatware? i ran the bat file, got root, installed TB. In TB, i uninstalled a few bloatware, but the icons are still in the app drawer
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
Was having issues at first, but eventually worked. At first, I was running the file as an admin, and it wouldn't work. After a few times of it not working, I just "double clicked" and it worked. I so used to having to run files as an admin when rooting/flashing phones that it's gotten to be a habit.

Thanks for Easy Fre3vo!
[HTC Sensation] vwbest16:
Is there a way to leave Vodafone logo when the device starts with temp root (Fre3vo)?
[HTC Sensation] id242:
pro tip: If you wanted to clean up the command display output, add an "@echo off" to the top of the batch file.

Thanks for putting everything together. good job!
[HTC Sensation] Tweakssd:
Thank you for the convenient batch. It worked just fine. Disabling bloatware also proved to speed up the phone a bit. Using it now really shows that the potential of Sensation is really something. Now I hope that the devs (teamwin, agrabren ++), or HTC will unlock the phone, so that the devs can focus on unleashing the beast that the Sensation could be.

As Moses would have said to HTC on behalf of Sensation owners: "Let my people flash!"

[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
You can either disable them through adb pm disable <com...(name of app)>or freeze them in TB, don't uninstall. Even if you see them in the app drawer, they will be frozen. Go to settings>applications>all and you will see the ones you froze or disabled will be a gray colored app...meaning it worked :D

I don't want to speak to soon because I don't know how long it will last but your script is the ONLY one that will let me run any other root app besides TB. EVERY single root app I tried so far (besides the ones that shouldn't work like SetCPU or something) has asked for root permissions which I haven't seen since my Inspire 4G!!! Thanks a ton for the script! I am hoping so much that it stays until I reboot!
