If there's an RUU for your phone (matches region code exactly) available, there's no need to backup recovery. Run the RUU, go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3', and your phone is completely stock and S-ON. You must successfully run the RUU though just before trying to go S-ON or you could soft-brick your phone.
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
hello again and thank you again!!!!

i would like "to the bit restiration" so i should do as you say? or to find the official ruu for my phone and just run it from windows as dazweeja says in the other post

or else can you give the exact steps to follow?

what is nandroid backup?

this can be done using CWM? what is the difference from the backup you mentioned above "CWM is able to backup and restaure what every body uses every day: SYSTEM ROM, USER DATA"????

and finally s-off can be undone? to be s-on??? in another post you said that it is difficult and may phone become brick. why??? using official ruu cannot work in that situation?
[HTC Sensation] NikolaiT:
No need to be so hostile. The fact is, you're an idiot if you use Telenav. That is all there is to it.
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
hello

any answer here???
[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
> can you give the exact steps to follow?

I already did.

> what is nandroid backup?

never heard.

> s-off can be undone? to be s-on?

Yes. *some* people did it; other bricked. As very few people want it, less people work on this, and less people contribute to discussion about it. So ... there are less neurones trying to get it to work.

> you said that it is difficult and may phone become brick. why?

Because less people work on it. Nobody ever wrote any tuto; there are just IRC logs about it.

> using official ruu cannot work in that situation?

Are you sure you will find the RUU for your phone and phone service provider ? did they provide it ? or do you hope that when you will need it, you will find it ? Many phone service provider do NOT provide RUU: you buy a phone with a ROM, but never find this ROM any where on internet (including ... *not* on company web site).

I don't feel well since few days, and can't write proper english anmore. Bye.

thank you and hope you get well soon.!!!

terminal?

If you Lose Root, all you have to do is Open terminal & type SU then type fixit! > No More Rebooting & running the exploit again for R/W on system to get Root back in place

what is terminal
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Yes I did that but it says no permit to run the command.
[HTC Sensation] alphadog32:
LOL, Why you guys still post here?

:eek:
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Oh no, does this mean the update closes the door on this temp root method?

At the moment, I'm not really wanting a custom ROM or having to go through the S-OFF effort to get to root.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Since this was originally posted a while back I wanted to know if it still works as written on the first post or if something has changed. I have a Tmobile US Sensation 4G running 2.3.3 with software version 1.29.531.2. All I want to do is gain temp root so I can use Titanium backup and freeze the carrier bloatware. Will this method work for me?
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
So does this method still work??
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yes, it still works so long as you don't install the OTA 2.3.4 update.
[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
Wow, your timing is downright spooky! I was in the process of downloading the 2.3.4 update when this reply came in (I canceled it). If I use the temp root method to freeze the bloatware will the 2.3.4 update just add it all back again?

becarefull fre3vo don't work at new ROM

Hi,

I've updated today a new ROM :OTA_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.45.162.1-1.35.162.1, It's not possible to root this version with error message :

D:\Android>adb shell /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

The exploit has failed.

And I try use -debug, but it's same problem :

The exploit has failed.

And I don't understand that HTC pupose unlock bootloader in http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and I 've a problem with a version of fastboot (it's not work with oem get_identifier_token and I opened a case (he work ...) )

Are you an idea ?

Many thanks

[HTC Sensation] JaylanPHNX:
I hope the OP can get this tool to work on the 2.3.4 update. I know there is true S=Off perma-root, but I'm not in a position to do that (borrowed device) and would like to update without losing the ability to use Titanium Backup to save all my app data when I return the phone.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
:D:D:D

I can't say what the update will do with frozen stock apps.

Given the issues. I'm probably going to take the XDA S-OFF route and root that. Then wait till folks here provide a rooted version of the 2.3.4 updated stock ROM. Or maybe they already have? I have not checked yet.

Yea, the temp root hacks leverage an exploit in things like a driver that could be overloaded, but HTC updated the drivers to no longer have that vulnerability.

If you applied the 2.3.4 update and don't already have S-OFF, you have my condolences. Maybe the devs here will figure something out for you in time...
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Is there any possibility to update this tool here to work with updated phone 1.45 , hboot 1.18?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Works with mine, I'm french and my Sensation is too :D

So I suppose it works with every Sensation
[HTC Sensation] big nu:
hot!

I rooted successfully with this.. but noticed i started to run extremely HOT!!:(

Im sure it overclock related so i reverted back to stock and she cooled down.. soo ill hold off for now!!
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
i have this error

adb shell busybox --install -s /vendor/bin

--install: applet not found

anyone know why ?

but if i replace with the other busybox works,

why this version of busybox dont work with me ?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
Titanium working fine for me, but drocap2 and shoot me not seeing that I have root. Battery calibrate app either
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I will link the other thread to this one and close mine
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Anyone else notice when you root with this when you restart/shutdown the phone it will just get stuck and require a battery pull?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Have yet to experience that...

Do you have any root apps that might not be playing nice?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
So you can restart completely fine? When I used the previous root tool of eugene's it worked fine. This one just sits there with a black screen making me think its off but it won't turn on with the power button until I pull the battery.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
A couple of Q's regarding OC:

If I apply this root do I have to use SetCPU to overclock and if I don't I'll have stock speed?

Will a reboot restore CPU completely to stock?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Final Changes Made & Re-Posted for Both Evo 3D & Sensation 4G

Enjoy,

~Eugene
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Thanks Eugene,

Is OCing working on this or is it still kinda botched?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Mine works 100% though I guess a few is having issues..

.ko works for the Stock kernel, not any of these leaked RUU's
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Hmmm It's strange. When I run it I can select a higher clock speed in setcpu but It never scales above 1188. I'm running the stock TMO rom
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Yeah, having same issue as well?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Great tool
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
ok for some reason the new changes did not worked for me , i erase su, terminal emulator, rebooted , and did a clean run of the file did not worked at all tried it 4 times ,different ways but no luck i even removed htc sync and nothing ,so i ran the old version before the final changes and worked perfect the first time i tried it....:confused: im happy with the old one :D thx EUGENE...
[HTC Sensation] julez456:
Nope..tried all that. Root still ain't being achieved for some reason. Typing 'fixit' in T.E. is coming back with a permission denied error. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus as my default home launcher. That wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it?

*Probably a silly question but I'm getting desperate now...and a little annoyed that it ain't working* :mad:
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
just follow my steps the old version works every time for me i have stock sensation

1, erase SU and TE from phone

2, reboot phone

3, run the file , when it saids to count till 10 to 15 turn the screen on (if is not on already) and then turn it off again count till 15 press ENTER on pc let it run and when its done just press space bar.

if it still doesnt work try deleting htc sync from your phone also and follow steps above.

Everyone knows that currently with any temp root, you still lose links to the SU Binary & Busybox links, it's just a matter of time before it happens!!

Now, what I did was enable the $Path to /vendor/bin which is in the Sensation export PATH..

Any Calls made from this point either be SU or Busybox don't get deleted nor touched from any App requesting the SU Binary!! I've tested this with alot of apps & the Root sticks in place..

None I know off. I've gone the S-OFF route and loaded up EnergyROM.

You may want to try reaching out to the OP for help.

Since I'm permanent rooted now, I doubt I'll be back to this thread. I hope it all works out for you folks who need temp root though.
[HTC Sensation] JaylanPHNX:
Well, I went ahead and updated the phone to 2.3.4, so I really hope someone develops a temp-root, since I am using a loaned device and cannot perm-root. Ay least so I can use titanium backup before I have to send the phone back.
[HTC Sensation] tko_gx:
I found a bug.

Here is how i got the "bug":

1- Run Run_ME_Fr3vo_ROOT.bat with unrooted phone

2- Reboot with usb cable attached

3- Go to All apps menu...

4- Screen full of bugs, and doesn't let you select any program...

Has anyone experienced this? (if I reboot without the usb cable all is fine)

For some reason i keep loosing root explorer ability to delete apps after a couple of hours but it still has root acces just cant delete apks weird , does anybody knows the apk name for the wifi calling app ?,
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
It's called kineto or something like that.
[HTC Sensation] ionballer:
so with the o/c i ran cf benchmark and linpack and i get worse scores than i when its not oc ie. without oc linpack i get 44 mflops with oc i get 14 mflops. why is this?

So it looks like when I set it to 1.7 it only stays at 300 MHz any ideas to get the o/c to work correctly?
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Yeah, same problem with Root Explorer happens to me... also ability to view certain protected directories goes away after a while, like /data and /vendor...

anyway, the apk name is: MS-HTCDP-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
really i tried deleting that apk and it just keep giving me a force close window that would not go off no matter what had to reboot...
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
yeah i found it but dont try to delet it it gives you a force close that it wont go away .....
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
No, I wasnt trying to delete the apk, I meant that I also noticed that I lose the ability to view and write to certain directories after a while...

But to solve your problem, freeze the app with titanium instead of deleting. That should not give you a fc, and you will not have the app load anymore. I havent actually tried it with WiFi calling, but it should wotk just like any other app.
[HTC Sensation] astragreen:
This is really great, thanks from germany for this tool... :-)
[HTC Sensation] :

[HTC Sensation] homer285:
Haha, shut up man!
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:

Thank you :) Great tool

Rom manager is still asking for ROOT is this normal , the rest of my apps are OK

Only if you could make an APK to save on the SD Card would be awesome :)
[HTC Sensation] ttav:
Thanks for this tool:-) Worked fine for me first go.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Just ran it and works a treat. Thanks.

I noticed it still had remarks about OC in the batch file and just want to check that in fact no change is actually made to the phone in this regard or if it is, a reboot restores the phone completely to stock.

My God read the op please regarding su!
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Thanks for the tool Eugene!!

I have a question...

Why isnt root explorer able to browse data and vendor although it is able to browse system?

It is complaining about root when i enter the data or vendor directory but works fine with system....
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Once again... Read the OP... Open Terminal & type fixit... all fix...;)
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
I have already done that mate...

Still it cant browse data and vedor through root explorer.

System is fine
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Yeah, sorry Eugene, but I already tried that as well and I also can't browse certain directories.

Only thing I've found that does fix it is to just reboot and reroot.
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:

[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Not without S-Off or a Working Recovery to flash...

Until then we are screwed :(
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
lol, I know :( just a bit of wishful thinking by me

Do symlinks to /system also disappear after a reboot?

Edit: dw, my initial idea was that we could put all the files somewhere else and just symlink them back, but only if the symlinks survived a reboot but now I think I'll try and make a script that can be run from the phone, then you don't need a computer and you can root if your away from your computer

HTC Swyped from my Sensation using XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
okay.. So I found the Problem.. If you Mount anything as R/O after running the exploit more-less you might as well reboot & start over!

Lesson of the Day!

Don't remount /system as R/O as this disables Perma-Temp Root Completely

~Eugene
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Wont work unless the exploit is fix.. Current usb settings carries the correct PID.. I already have an app that can does this, but the exploit can't be ran off the Phone at all.

Hi!,

I try a permanent rw of system and rootfs. I modify some files : /vendor/bin, /init.*rc* under rootfs, /etc/hosts, /etc/init.d, etc under system. After reboot, all modified files has been restored. Grrr....

And, I seem that when I install an application, the kernel swich ro to rw and come back and lock on ro until reboot. Which process is control this file system.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
That is not a Root issue AT ALL, LMAO! Don't disable stuff you don't know what it does.. Based on the List given I could see why!

btw, Launcher should never be Disabled!
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
I posted about this issue already!!

You can't reboot thinking it will save the changes without s-off or flashing from a Recovery!

I also posted about the R/O issue a page back.. I have the next version fixed roughly that it wont go to r/o as long as an app or the user don't put it into r/o.. Once in R/O mode you have to reboot & apply the exploit again...

I'll be updating the OP soon, as I just got home..

~Eugene
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
then that was clearly the issue here..

why the f... would someone say these things are "SAFE" to disable...

Im not claiming to be the most knowledgable Android person in the world, but I'm following a list of things that are "safe" to disable and the Launcher is clearly what caused the problem...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150805

Is it SAFE to disabling things via Terminal Emulator BTW? As long as its not Launcher :P
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
The setupWizard should never be disabled either.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Eugene, I know this is completely unrelated to the work your doing, but is there anyway of getting hold of a SAFE list of things to disable? Ideally, to increase RAM...
[HTC Sensation] Crew One:
Also... if you have 150Mb of unused ram, that's 150Mb of wasted ram. Ram you don't use is basically worthless! Fill it up! Use it! That's what it's for!

Android is VERY good at managing it's RAM, so stop worrying about that number. Especially if you don't really know what you are doing.

And looking at the list of stuff you disabled... well apart from the setup wizard and launcher, which should not be disabled, what's the point? I doubt the ereader or its widget was causing you much trouble to start with.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
This is very true. And clearly a valid comment..

But surely to remove these things, although not actually bothering me, will make the device run faster?

And when it comes to how RAM works, I understand how it works, I'm just admitting I'm not 100% familiar how Android works... I'm coming from an Apple background, so my knowledge is there..

From my point of view... if sometihng is on the phone that I dont use, I dont want it there... Well, I dont want it visually there... i.e. 16 pages of Apps in my Apps list... crap like News & Weather, or Teeter... get me?
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
if u just don't want to see it, that can be done with mostly all 3 party launchers
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
what you mean? can you elaborate please?

...by disabling them via Titanium Backup?

This is something I started doing first off... freezing things... then I saw the thread about disabling things that wasnt listed on my Titanium backup list... which I clearly shouldnt have listened too
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
well i used titanium pro to.. freezee then i used the other thread tool to remove bloatware then now i really dont know what happened loL..... < noob me

is there a reboot bat file for this?

do i just remove the lines

adb install ./Superuser.apk

adb install ./terminal.apk ?

and.. also with the overclocking part.. is it automatically overclocked when i run the bat or do i have to do something after.. i dont want to overclock my phone i want to leave it at default speeds.
