I wouldn't presume to think I know more than you and if what I'm about to say is a "no **** sherlock"...forgive me :rolleyes: For those who may want a little more help from another first timer....

Turn off HTC Sync on your PC

,

but have it selected on your phone.... Settings>Connect to PC>Default connection type>HTC Sync

.

Make sure usb debugging mode is on.

Don't know if this matters at all...but I installed HTC Sync on my PC, connected my phone, let HTC Sync recognize it, disconnected from HTC sync, shut down HTC Sync and started this process.....

1)Download the file in the OP.

2)Unrar it to desktop

3)Connect Sensation to PC (make sure it's set to HTC sync for the usb settings)

4)Execute bat file (took about 1 min total)

5)Boo-Yaa

Worked the very first time I tried.

It is pretty straight forward....this is the first Android device I've owned and hence my first ever attempt at any sort of root. I did a tiny bit of research first....

noticed someone said if your having issues, make sure HTC sync is off on your PC.

Luckily these devs have put together these batch files or it would be a little bit more work. As is....execute the batch file and it's temp-rooted. That easy. If it doesn't work, you simply might be missing one very easy step.

I'm sure that there are several ways to get it done and I don't have any clue if you really have to have HTC sync on your PC on/off or not....but the method I described above worked the very first time without a hitch!

Good Luck!! Thanks again Teamwin and Eugene!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] biglolz:
what other apps are you guys removing to kill off some of the bloat?
[HTC Sensation] thorpe24:
stupid question does this work on the evo 3d?
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Hello....

In the first few pages of this thread, Eugene talks about this. I believe he thinks it should work fine....with a few tweaks.
[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
Ok..
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
It should work fine as it is. Even though the stock apps that are removed with this method are different than the evo, that won't matter it will just skip that part.
[HTC Sensation] theghazi:
It just simply works. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
Figured out what is Causing the /system to remount as read-only ( R/O ) so no more system bug, now we can soft delete system app or add...

Here's the catch though, it's still a temp Root, so after reboot everything is set back to stock settings.. However, this means the /vendor/bin work around is no longer needed & SU can be placed in /system/bin or /system/xbin with symlinks as well as installing busybox w/ symlinks inside of xbin once more...

going to add everything in tonight & have a new version posted in the morning for everyone to play with..
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Is fastboot enabled when the box is checked or UNchecked? Cause I tried rebooting with it checked & it took way longer & I had to redo my root.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Nevermind it didn't work. after further test.

I've gotten the majority of my root apps running, but for the life of me SetCPU refuses to play along. Any insight, anyone?
[HTC Sensation] v11lemans:
Phone rebooted this morning, all apps with root previles still there up and running.

About SetCPU i am using the version 2.2.4 with setCPU.txt file on SD root.
[HTC Sensation] funkdoobi:
my thing is getting hung up at adb wait-for-device?
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
It's because you don't have adb drivers installed

OP, please add to the first post that if it stays at waiting for device they must install adb drivers

[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
does Chainfire3D work with temp-root? the description says it needs s-off. Did anyone try it? if not then I guess that's the only thing I'll be needing perm-root for :)
[HTC Sensation] funkdoobi:
actually, somehow usb debugging got turned off. works fine now!
[HTC Sensation] Oum:
works like a charm, great thanks !
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I'm also eager to try it (I want the tegra2 plugin mainly!) but as you said, it seems to require S-OFF and a writable NAND, so it's not for us yet.

Now back on the topic: it's by far the best way to have root on our Sensation for the moment! It's just great to use an app more than once, more apps are working, this method is the best we have for now!

I feel I really have a rooted Sensation now!

as for those who can't get SetCPU running, be sure to have version 2.2.4.

If, like it was for me SetCpu 2.2.4 refuses to install (you get the message "application not installed"), easy=>

adb install /setcpu2.2.4.apk

Most of the apps that refuse to install directly will install that way.
[HTC Sensation] ololol:
It work´s! Thank you very much!

[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
It does not becuase it needs to write to the system folder which is write protected.
[HTC Sensation] djmaz:
Ok I have tried this I don't know how many times and what a nightmare I'm having.

1st time fail

2nd time worked but after a mess on with a few apps my they started sayin root required so I though reboot and start again.

Now everytime I try I get fails. Best It will work for me is it installs superuser but nothing else can access root.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] kyakubov:
Fantastic!!!, it worked now after killing HTC sync on desktop, and running the files from the desktop.

thanks
[HTC Sensation] buzmay:
Lol? Haven't you read the thread's subject, "root that sticks", which means that after reeboot root stays. Also I asked this since users in this thread have reported that after reebooting root apps are running.
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Big Thanks

You are the GOD :p !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot, every things work great here:

Thank you very much !!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] buzmay:
Will this work with Carrier name or better said apps that after root need the Sensation to be rebooted?

Doesn't stock all that long, gone after some hours.
[HTC Sensation] eugene373:
I'm waiting on the default.prop & init.rc + init.shooter.rc from the EVO 3D boot.img, so I can post the latest version for both Phone's.

Next version fixes:

~ Fixed System mount as R/O after deleting apps

~ Includes overclocking

~ No Longer needs SUID on /data

~ SU binary & Busybox symlinks stay on /system now

~ Ability Perma-Temp Remove any file in /system

Still Temp-Root though, just with more Control over /system.

[HTC Sensation] Xcor3:
Wow.. that sounds really great.

Great job on the perma-temp root btw.

We appreciate your work.
[HTC Sensation] *damo*:
Ok, sorry then but when I reboot I lose root...

and good job eugene, can't wait to change my bootanimation and get rid of all the Vodafone crap :D

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadevelopersanon:
When I try to enter the destination address/city/postcode, the predictive search takes over and cannot enter my address. It doesn't show what I am trying to type but only shows what it can predict, sometimes wildly different than mine.

I have the option to select a word from the predictive search bar but this then gets added to the END of the text I have been trying to type and I have to delete everything and start again.

Even entering a simple address is unbearably difficult.

Here is a quote from another forum where another user has the same problem and describes it better:

"When I go to enter a destination, CoPilot starts recommending possible locations. Let's use Leicester as an example. I type in "lei" and the first box shows "lea", while the second box displays Lea in London. So I delete the "a" and try typing in "i" again, but the system automatically corrects it to "a" again.

If I just type the complete name, the third box (XT9's auto-suggest section) shows "leicester" as the first entry. Easy, you'd think - just click on that and it'll appear in the destination box. But it adds the "leicester" to whatever is already in the search string rather than replacing it, making CoPilot unusable."
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadevelopersanon:
Still no response from the copilot support. I am not using Swype just the normal Samsung keypad with xt9. Does anyone else have the same issue? Or better still, is there anybody that can make copilot work on galaxy s2 properly?

Here is the Nexus s boot animation. It will work with any rom or kernel. Has your favorite kernel or rom change your boot animation well just down load this and flash using clockwork and youll have the stock boot animation back. Alternatively you can unpack the zip and copy bootanimation.zip over to the system/media folder on your phone.

No problem lol. I figured that others may what the same thing. After recieving your zips i realized they did not contain the stock boot animation so i was still stuck with the matriz animation till i reinstalled the stock boot animation which i pulled from my nandroid backup.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
I remembered the stupid easy way I was thinking about yesterday. I remembered after reading something that the boot animation is is /system/media. All I did was copy the animation I wanted (in my case the CM7, now using the 3D CM7 one I JUST found) and copied it over the bootanimation.zip that was currently residing in said folder.

Bam, back to stock or whatever boot animation without flashing anything
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelpeerman:

I have downloaded one app from Market, after downloading 100%, it automatically disappears..without installation...

Thanks.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
If you're asking about the file it's in data>app, if you're talking about launching it it should be in the app drawer of whatever launcher you are using. If it's not installed in data/app there should be a problem.

Edit: if you downloaded but it didn't auto-install, it would have been stored in Dalvik cache but by now it should have been cleared from your system... just download it again over a wifi network, best solution.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarzan322:
Goodintentions from G-Tablet for Dummies sent me over to say Hi, and give you a whack at my problem.

Judging by what I have been reading in these forums, I'm guessing I'll be downgrading to the 1.1 bootloader from 1.2 and 4349. So far, I'm 0-4 on flashing roms here, though i can get back to stock without much of a problem. But for the sake of development, here is what I've learned from flashing 101. I'm marking this as a question so you might take a look at it.

Cyanogen 7: Errors out during flash.

From reading forums and looking up assert errors, some guy named Jose gave me the best definition of an assert error and said basically, "the device is in a state that the program is not expecting it to be in." I'm not a programmer, so I'll let you figure that one out. I'm guessing if your trying to flash the rom, there is only so many states it can be in, but apparently more than one.

VEGAn 5.1 Beta Final: Will flash and boot to the finches and freeze.

Clemsyn_Caulkin 6: Will flash and boot past the finches, but freeze on the NVIDIA Tegra II logo that replaced the G-Tablet logo.

As you can see, this is going nowhere fast. For the last two roms, I let them sit for around 30-40 mins before calling it dead, re-flashing, and trying again. So far, nothing has actually booted up at all. Is it me, or did I just get a bum tablet?

The only other thing I have done to the tablet though was get confused by all the different instructions in the beginning of trying to flash it and put Z4root on it. I don't know how having superuser rights can prevent you from flashing, so I'm not counting on that as the problem. But it's something to consider. NVFlash with CWM is on it and working fine though.

I don't really like the idea of going backwards on the bootloader, but if that's the only workable option aside from sticking with stock, I guess I'm off to try that. Good luck and great job on the Noob video. I was getting motion sick watching it.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarzan322:
It looks like we have to downgrade the bootloader to 1.1 until they find some way to get 1.2 to play nice with other roms. I'llbe downgrading mine as soon as I can find the file and get it on here. I think a nice mod without autocorrect would be nice too before I drop kick this thing for changing roms to Tom's and prom's.

Stuck at birds or g-tabdevs

I too received my gTablet from Amazon yesterday. It came with 1.2_4349. After having bricked it multiple times today, I did nvflash to stock 4349 and it has always worked. But when I flash the ROM, it says the install was complete. However, after reboot I am getting stuck. Got stuck at the birds a couple of times, on other times I got stuck at Powered by G-TABDEVS. I have tried the following four ROMs, with similar issues after flashing.

FYI, I have tried the following files

VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed-pershoot-bl1.2

update-cm-7.0.3-Harmony-signed-pershoot-bl1.2

VEGAn-GE-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony-signed-clemsyn-bl1.2

Any help is appreciated.
