The same was happening to me, I rebooted and re-rooted, after installing the apps I wanted from the market (adfree and root explorer) and then after the Root, Root Explorer went back to working but still no dice on adfree.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I can confirm that negative memory value which causes my Root Explorer to FC constantly.. Rebooting and running without the root = fine though.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Nope I get both things as well and I know for a fact it is the new version of this script. Old versions never prohibited me from installing or running apps. Now this version seems to block installations/upgrades after a bit and also corrupt the memory reading which causes some apps to FC.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Does adb shell rm -r /system/app/(name).apk uninstall or disable?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
What was the File name? I uploaded 3 file total today. & sounds like the old version.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
I think you didn`t quite catch what I meant .

I was getting these error messages as my FREE and USED memory was in (-) minus values , I have never had minus values at all. The task manager was showing 0 (zero) working applications but the FREE and USED memory was in minus values and once it was something like (-)34600MB
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Uninstalls. To disable, you need to use the pm disable <package name> command.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
The current latest one and the one before that .....

I think Final 3 and Final 2 versions .

EDIT : JUST CHECKED FINAL3 and the one before that !!
[HTC Sensation] abrasive:
I've got no idea what's going on since it's not working. Easy Fre3vo and using adb manually works on first try. And please don't respond with "use that then".
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
adb shell pm disable <package name>

I can type that into the BAT file & it will disable them right?
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Right. And you can get a list of package names with the "adb shell pm list packages" command.

EDIT: However, if you just want to freeze apps, there's no reason to do it in the .bat file. Instead, use Titanium Backup and freeze the apps and they will stay frozen after a reboot, so it only needs to be done once. It's much easier and faster that way than doing it manually.
[HTC Sensation] maxtcee:
Same thing happen to me after 30 mins lost root used final 3
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
Yeah the root won't stick for me either I think the fully stable bit in the title should be amended for now.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
I still have root & its been 4 hours now?
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
I've been running since pretty much when you posted the file, and I've had root stick with no problems. Seems to be working great.

... to anyone who's having issues with root sticking, keep in mind that this procedure isn't rock solid, and sometimes something can get messed up in your file system that will cause errors and erratic behavior... i've had it happen before. First thing you should try is a reboot and see if the problem is gone. If everything is working fine, then try a re-root. If problems are still present after a reboot but before a re-root, then other troubleshooting steps may be necessary, including narrowing down the issue to an application that may be causing problems, or even a factory reset, if necessary.

If you have a problem with the root process itself, then it's likely could be due to other factors not having to do with the files Eugene made, as the process seems to be working for many other people. An exact error message would help in diagnosis.
[HTC Sensation] djohnson7:
anyone have success using Final3 on Mac?

getting 'No such file or directory' from mountme

manually typing

./adb-mac shell chmod -R 4755 /vendor/bin

gives 'Bad mode'

any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
That Command is not in Final3... It was in Final1 or 2..

Final3 = chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/*

I think people think there on the latest when they are not.
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
EDIT: Nevermind, still checking some stuff.
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
Thank you eugene373. But in my experience only the first version of this tool works without a problem. Others are buggy and the last version is seems to install without giving any errors but I couldn't manage to install any .apk's after using it.

So I'll be sticking with the first version.

Thank you for your efforts.

P.S. I'm using HK version Sensation with the latest leaked "RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_HK_1.35.708.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198220_signed" ROM.
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
I also have the error after up to ship rom with RUU (1.35.707.1 asia version):

- First run Fre3vo_Sensation_final its crippling Wifi

- Then Factory reset and try again run Fre3vo_Sensation_final >>> Wifi OK (Turn on Wifi before run Fre3vo_Sensation_final) but could not install all applications from SD card:(
[HTC Sensation] jbrew78:
Yeah version 3 is not 100% stable. I'm on T-mobile US and after running the program market downloads will not install.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
Apparently, some Sensations work OK and some don`t....

The problems I am having with the Final 3 version

1) Loose Root

2) Root Explorer Force Close

3) Getting minus (-) Memory values inTask manager both in FREE and USED memory

4) Can`t download any apps or messages after getting the (-) minus memory values. ( final3 and final 2)

I have been seeing reports that some Sensation owners say it works and some say it doesn`t .

Could the reason be : There are two types of Sensations

The ones that are sold in the U.S are called Sensation 4G and the ones sold rest of the world are just Sensations.

Could there be some differences amongst these two models that we don`t know of ?
[HTC Sensation] Stanimir Komitov:
Everything works perfect, but i'm experiencing problems with the bluetooth after temp rooting the device. It works only for couple of minutes and then I'm not able to turn it on. It was ok with the previous versions.
[HTC Sensation] erdemdengel:
I can not mount "system" folder as a R/W via Root Explorer

Any suggestion?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Yep... One more "Final" release might be needed :p

-negative values of RAM

-unable to install apps from market

Tmo.

I just did a full reboot. No root of course, but the bloat is still disabled :)

just wondering when you root a device does it make it simfree or is there something more to it??? could you simfree a device in root???
[HTC Sensation] niddnet:
Can we get some confirmation of exactly what DOES work and where, so the devs have a better idea of what might be the issue?

What I mean - to everyone who has the problems (myself included) - are we all on European devices (Sensation, as opposed to Sensation 4G) - and likewise, those who have had successes - are they all on Sensation 4G?

I'm on 3UK (H3G01) with the 'usual' S-ON device -

HBOOT-1.17.0011

Jun 2 2011,22:31:39

Errors I've had haven't been consistent, even immediately after factory resets, which is the strange thing. Sometimes the exploit works, but the permissions don't, sometimes the exploit fails, sometimes it works, but only for a min or two, sometimes wifi fails, negative RAM values, no installing of apps...

I wish there was a pattern I could report, but perhaps we'll only find that when we get a correlation between which devices do what.

Devs - if you need anything further from me, let me know.
[HTC Sensation] schidddy:
my wifi isnt working anymore after gaining root from this newest perm-root file...

[HTC Sensation] mick1475:
Root access is all fine now. However - no market apps install, just like above. Unfortunately, this isn't as final as it seems...

Final 2 missing...

I have version final & final 3... can anyone post final 2 version? I will post all 3 versions here so everyone can try each one... Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
+1

I think I am on Asian Rom because when I turned my Sensation on for the first time, I saw alot of Far east languages and countires.

But as I pointed out earlier, I am thinking that NON US version Sensations might be getting these patternless errors and the US versions ( Sensation 4G) may not be getting these errors at all.
[HTC Sensation] everyday48:
Thx for hard work, its big step.

[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Well I can confirm that I have US Sensation 4G and everything works great... SU does NOT disappear and Market fully functional. (No errors using Final 3)

Guys! Fastboot is an APP not a restart! :-) I have Fastboot (the APP) and it does as expected. Adfree seems to work on some things, but not on others. It actually blocked Ebay altogether (I am a seller). I had to freeze Adfree to be able to see Ebay.

Also, try putting the root files into your SDK folder. Thats what I did and it worked after NOT working at all.

I dont know much about programming and hacking, but I followed instructions and my sensation is still rooted.

[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I keep on getting an error occurred and su was not updated.. tells me to boot into recovery to update but how do i do that?
[HTC Sensation] vvilliamm:
Hmm i still have root after I turned off my phone and back on is that suppose to happen?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Yes, unless u reboot/restart everything.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
No fre3vo scripts work anymore on my phone...

I just tried to root using Final 3...and for some reason, after completing, I have no SU permissions...Titanium Backup doesn't work, Terminal Emulator still shows $. I factory restored phone...tried again...no dice. WTH!? Did something "break" in my phone to disallow root? Not sure what the heck happened, but it should have been as simple as make sure debugging's on, connect as a CHARGER, and run FINAL V3. I even tried factory restoring, and using other fre3vo methods, with no dice. Any ideas? It says failed / read only file system and the exploit has failed, no matter what method I use, now. Something sure seems broken!
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Is Fastboot in the market? I only see fast reboot.
[HTC Sensation] joeyklatzko:
Is your phone showing up as a device in ADB? Maybe you don't have the right drivers installed.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
Yeah, it does...has definitely worked in the past with fre3vo. It says read only file system and the exploit has failed, no matter what method I use, now. Something sure seems broken!
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Sorry about that, its "FAST REBOOT". Not "FASTBOOT". Yes, it is in the market. Free version works well.

I am guessing your htc sync is still open on your pc. Make sure you "exit" htc sync to kill it.

Charge Only.
[HTC Sensation] jcc332006:
Dam Eugene you are the man! This is where you've been hanging out. Lol! Great work as usual!
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
thats your problem. I select htc sync. Then select to disconnect then do the process
[HTC Sensation] gbzbar:
Actually, it's not the problem. Sorry, but there was part of my post that got erased somehow. I was providing a reference for what it should be set to. I've never had a problem getting rooted, and I always use Charge Only.

My post would have clarified that had the entire thing gotten posted. :)
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
With HTC Sync open I can't root...

My problem with version 3 is that lose root after some time...

Other versions is almost impossible to get root...
[HTC Sensation] esincho:
I couldn't until I selected htc sync then disabled it, the proceeded. I used the instructions on the easy freeroot thread. Shrug
[HTC Sensation] drewcubus:
Uninstall Sync unless you actually use it... >.> There is really no reason to have it other than the driver it provides.
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
Somehow your post and mine got intertwined. I am using charge only as always...and have never had htc sync enabled...and it always worked just fine. Now, after trying final v 3, something seems broken no matter which fre3vo method I use.
[HTC Sensation] PandaKiller:
I tested the old version posted and got everything root, without lose root after some time :)
[HTC Sensation] caferoom:
after root, TI works, deleted apps, but will appear after reboot, WHY ??

After not being able to root at all since using the Final v3...I must say...this worked like a charm. THANK YOU SO MUCH! God Bless! And I guess this NEW VERSION could be nicknamed....THE BIG PERM!
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
New version works fine. I had to run it twice for the exploit to work.

Only gripe was that root explorer could not browse data and vendor directories.

Went to terminal emulator, typed su and fixit and root explorer worked fine after that

SOme time after rootexplorer couldnt browse the same directiories again. Fixit had to be used.

Also substituted the su and superuser.apk with the latest ones out.

Thanks mate, great job
[HTC Sensation] jreed3786:
So, am I wrong in thinking that even after a restart of the phone, that a simple su and then fixit regains root? I tried this, immediately after I confirmed I was rooted using this V4 Fre3vo...and found it said permission denied again. :)
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
After restart you need to run again the exploit through adb

Jesus Christttt, I HATE Linux. Can't do crap on it.

Wish I could try this out :/
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Lol you can do it on Linux :)

If you don't want to rewrite it in script form for Linux then just download the Windows file he has here, cd into the folder then run the commands he has in the batch file manually :)
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Lol thanks, I'm just new to Linux so I don't really get how to even get adb to work on this thing. Only reason why I am using it is because I can't get Windows on my external drive, only Linux boots off an external drive without having to buy Windows and crap.

I CD'ed to the folder and then copied the first command and it already said something about no file or directory. Linux makes things about 10x harder then they should be imo.

Would it be too much to ask to have the overclocking put back into this? Looks like the overclock issue may have been fixed!

I, for the life of me, cannot get any of the adb stuff to work for me. Only thing that works are people's scripts.

If not, thanks anyway!

It's not the script it's your Computer or Phone that is having issue..

Try turning off fast boot in setting on the Phone.. it's under the Power / Battery? Icon. I had to do this as well on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
Thanks for the update eugene. Might be a stupid question...after rebooting we can just open Terminal and type "fixit" to gain root again?

still nothing this is happening to 2 PC, so i have no clue, like i said root 1,2 worked great anything after that nothing

Hey Eugene, if there aren't too many modifications that were made, could you possibly post what exactly you changed in smali so we can replicate the changes?

This is the only reason I've ever had to use the fixit command, as Root itself has not gone away yet.

Do you mean terminal in the device?

Why Set CPU doesn't get auto detection of the device?

[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
u should restart your phone and try it again , make sure u have debugging on HCT SYNC working ,it should work... when everything works it saids turn screen off count to 10 to 15 and hit enter , after that it runs and finally saids hit any key to continue cmd closes and you r set..
[HTC Sensation] gilbert11231123:
yup i did that and my set cpu did get su permissions but still no go the max is 1728000.....

What option did you choose in set cpu? I get plenty of options. None of them says specifically says Sensation.

Thanks for the help

auto detect speeds recommended to search in your device to find your best options ..
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Thanks for posting this eugene.

One of the problems with it thought is, loads of people have different kernels :( So it's nice that you have included it, but that kernel file will only work for some people.

It might be easier for you not to include the file, and let people source the kernel files themselves (means you don't have to put up with complaints about it being the wrong file etc)
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Thanks so much for this eugene373 , I've been using your previous file, without the overclocking, and my phone has been working perfectly with constant root for 24 hours now.

I feel I have a real root now thanks to you.

BTW I got more apps poping up superuser and granted root with your tool than with the previous temp root technics.

I suppose you've included the 8x60_oc.ko just so that SetCpu can at least autodetect the Sensation frequencies thus allowing us to set profiles, but we can't overclock so far?
