I'm sorry i feel retard.. but i really need help!

I just got my Tmous sensation 4g, and it's update to the last firmware and hboot. It's still 100% original... not rooted or anything..

I wanted to try the last arhd but I don't understan a couple of things!

1- when I open the program to check the MD5 of the zip there's always a problem.. it asks me to paste something in... usally it already has something paste (used to be the last thing i copied) and I've no idea what! If i continue without change anything (after the selection of the zip of course) it tell me that the codes doesn't match! So i'm already stuck there..

2-bigger problem.. how do I procede on the website of revolutionary.io? there's not even my phone (sensation 4g tmous) nor the HBOOT versione (the lastest one)..

3-will i be able to use 4g on the new rom right? because my tmobile store told me that it wouldn't work with a different rom.. but he told me **** before so i don't thrust him a lot...

Thank you guys!

Using the method: " 1) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-ON Devices with hboot 1.27.0000 ) ", without S-OFF, how can I go back to stock, if I have to return the phone to warranty?

I can make a nandroid backup of my current rom, which is the stock one, from Vodafone, updated. The thing is I don't have the ruu to restore the vodafone branding + ICS. And I can't use an older Vodafone ruu and update, because of hboot version. I can only flash the Europe ICS ruu, which I don't know if will void the warranty with Vodafone (since it gets debranded). I assume the phone goes to HTC and they just check that the bootloader is locked, S-ON and unrooted, and they fix it and don't care about branding but still... Technically even if I do the nandroid backup of my current rom, I can restore it, but won't be able to remove the bootloader lock without flashing a complete ruu, correct?
[HTC Sensation] stressak:
Well and is there any possibility that Revolutionary will add 1.27 hboot support? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
go to noob friendly help thread and ask tinky , he knows about vodafone RUU's

you can also ask football in shipped Roms thread

you should not do S-ON unless you installed an RUU

if you make S-ON on custom anything , you will most probably get a security warning and your device will not boot
[HTC Sensation] RCOO:
I am S-ON. I can't go S-OFF easily because I have HBOOT 1.27 =p

Unlock Hboot 1.27.0000 & Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data

1. How to unlock (S-ON) bootloader Hboot 1.27.0000? Because previously my HTC sensation bootloader is 1.18.0000 but after upgrade to stock ICS it was change to 1.27.0000. I has try the Revolutionary.io unlock method but it was fail because of bootloader is 1.27.0000.

2. How to re-lock (S-OFF) bootloader if i want get stock OTA update for the ICS, which like this website link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16862231&postcount=1, it provide temporary S-ON for bootloader of 1.18.0000 so i can get stock OTA update without losing data.

Trouble with Revolutionary

Hey all,

I am having some trouble with getting S-off on my phone. I start up revolutionary and it recognizes my device and I put in my beta key and after it accepts it says "Zerging Root...this might take a minute or so.." After about 30 seconds it says "communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again. Press <almost> any key to exit." Does it make a difference that I am running go launcher ex? My hboot is 1.18.0000.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
your hboot is supported by revolutionary but your GB software version is too new

use tacoroot to S-OFF here [Guide] Fix for Revolutionary S-OFF fails on OTA S-ON update

charge your battery fully before tacoroot , the S-OFF process should take only very few minutes
[HTC Sensation] mloc33:
My HBOOT version is not listed on the site, it`s 1.27.0000, am I screwed?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
you are not , i don't know why members don't try to hit the search button ?

you should use Juopunutbeto S-OFF method , the only way to S-OFF now for your hboot is wire trick , to do it you have two Alternatives :

use wire trick directly without unlock bootloader , gofor the guide xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631 , and go here and look at the bottom of page http://unlimited.io

unlock bootloader with htc dev and use wire trick , go here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1614617

if you don't want to use the wire trick method , you can unlock your bootloader and install ICS Roms " with smae as yours firmware version " in here Post # 2 , and follow title 1) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-ON Devices with hboot 1.27.0000 )

After installing the recovery i got a bootloop at the logo "Beats" and the it restarts again and again i did everything good to me anyone know how to fix that??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
hi,

You need to delete the PG58IMG.zip ?

:)
[HTC Sensation] soza971:
I deleted it but i still have the bootloop on the logo "Beats"

PS: when it started to bootloop i thought it was the file so i put the micro sd in my pc and removed it from it
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Have you rooted it,and done SuperCID?

:)
[HTC Sensation] soza971:
i was gonna do it when i had this problem of bootloop , i S-off the sensation it was ok but when i installed the "PG58IMG.zip" it started to bootloop at the logo so i could not do anything else.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Where did you get your PG58IMG.zip from?

Try again with THIS ONE

Let me know how it goes.

:)
[HTC Sensation] soza971:
i made a mistake because of the name of the file PG58IMG instead of installing the recovery i installed the PG58IMG zip in the Android Revolution Rom it got several files (see the picture)

i tried to flash this time with the good file of the recovery but i get an error : "Model Id Corrupted" Update fail

i need a solution plz so if anyone know how to fix that
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Go back to post # 3429 in this thread, and follow a conversation I had with spuri78.

It is the same problem.

:)
[HTC Sensation] soza971:

thx malybru
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
So I need to send my phone back (dust under the screen) and now have to put my phone back to stock. The directions on the front page seem easy enough, but is step 5 all I really have to do? Will that uninstall Clockworkmod etc? Just want to make sure.

Does anyone know if the replacement phone will come with the latest ICS or will it be the original GB like what the phone came with?

I am really not looking forward to doing this all again, but the dust is getting out of control!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When you run the RUU of your area/carrier,it will return ROM,radio,firmware,and recovery back to stock.

Yes,you still need to return your original CID.

Most phones seem to be coming back with either hboot 1.27 or 1.29

I suppose it depends on which area you are from,but not many come back with G B on it.

You may be lucky...

:)
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
Ah, very good. Thank you. Just wanted to be sure. So I will need to put it back to TMOB010 I think then.

Ug, that's what I figured. I really didn't want to go through this but the dust was just getting out of control. Anyway, thanks for your help
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

By the way ,there should be eight digits in your CID. (TMOB010 only has seven digits )

Go to market and get "CID GETTER"

Run this and it will show your original CID...

:)
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
Oops, I forgot the dash. T-MOB010
[HTC Sensation] hyudryu:
After doing all these steps (Including Super CID), I tried installing a custom ROM. In my case, I installed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551714

After installing, I experience a bootloop. I have no clue why it loops, but I am able to see the custom Boot animation. Prior to installing, I wiped the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Bootloop has been going for around 10 minutes lol. What should I do?

(I deleted the PG58IMG file on my SD card already)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Try following THIS THREAD

Read it carefully,and follow all the steps to upgrade your firmware,then be able to install the ROM.

Trying To Undo S-off & UnRoot to update, Help Please!!

Hi guys im a Windows XP SP3 user with HTC Sensation 4G T-MOUS Running Android 2.3.4 Stock Rom the only thing i have done to my phone are: S-OFF and ROOT & Clockworkmod and i accomplished those following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

ok but now seeing that ICS is here and i have had the Notification on my phone's bar for quite some time now i want to update to the latest ICS that my notification tells me it's 4.0.3, now all im asking is a few questions that are not clear to me when it comes to undoing the ROOT & S-OFF, ok let's begin:

so far the guide says right at the beginning that if i want to flash STOCK ROM to follow Steps 1 & 4 ONLY. Step 1 is the S-OFF part that i don't hae to do since im already S-OFF and the guide also says so, Step 4 is for writing Super CID by following the Command prompts commands through ADB. After Step 12 of Step 4 it says to download the official ROM which i already have; execute the RUU and follow the onscreen intructions and this is the part that confuses me bacause below that it says this:

TO DE-BRAND OR REINSTALL STOCK ROM (Changes to Stock S-off, Removes Root and clockwork)

Reinstall your original stock ROM you had (e.g Vodafone, Tmous, Asian, European unbranded etc. if you are changing back to S-ON)

1. Backup all User Data and Apps (Titanium backup Recommended) SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU WANT TO WIPE EVERYTHING

2. Use the SUPERCID method above. (Confirmed to work)

3. If you cannot get superCID to work. Follow this by Alexp999. HERE: any problems PM ME and i will help

Your phone bootloader will read "PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL" after this, Root and clockwork will have been removed now

so, basically if i skip whatever it says after step 12 and concentrate on what i just pasted above all i have to do is the following:

step 1: is up to me if i want to backup

step 2: i must do the SuperCID method again

step 3: Root and Clockworkmod will be removed from my phone but S-Off will remain.

so by now my phone will be Unrooted and Clockworkmod removed meaning i will be back to Stock Recovery image. so my questions are:

1- Do i follow the Steps after Step 12 of Step 4?

2- Will doing the Super CID method Remove the Root + Clockworkmod Completelly?

3- Do i have to remove S-Off too, if i want to update to ICS 4.0.3?

4- if i successfully remove Root + CWM, and lets says i dont need to S-ON in order to update; Can i install the OTA ICS update that is in my notification bar or do i have to get it from somewhere else? if not from OTA from where and how?

please be as clear and specific if your gonna HELP/answer my questions cause im new to Android and The Whole Rooting thing and i dont wanna mess my phone up cause i dont even have a second phone just in case anything goes wrong, so please, please help me but be careful, cause i do read things through before i try them to make sure that i understand what i doing... also

Thanks in advanced

Peace Out

windows 7

I have the newer version pre 7 that is supposed to be compatible with the tmobile us version. Any one having trouble other than me getting the s-off step to work in windows 7. When i start the application in both sync mode or just charging mode it starts up for about 2-3 seconds then goes away and deletes itself. I'm stuck need help.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It's possibly the last digit in the key. Try using a lower case letter "L" or else an uppercase letter "I". Also try either a 0(zero) or letter "O" after the mg.

Must ask before i root my device using this method..

Hi!

I must ask before i go a head and do this root.

If i decide to wait for hTC unlock of bootloader, can i still flash my german device with another stock ROM like the "Nordic" one? Or must i use this way to root to be able to flash away my german/vodafone ROM?!

Thanks in advanced
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I use Win7 and apart from the troubles I had as a result of Droid Explorer, Win7 works fine. Try turning off your anti-virus software and download it again. Perhaps your av is corrupting the download.

You can also check the HD5 checksum to see if you get the same. This is the checksum from my download which works properly 753B767CD1434CD5EC210A02F2633B15 (You can run a tool like Fastsum to generate this checksum)
[HTC Sensation] halla29:
ok trying now ty.
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
After installing from /movie file, and installed superuser, superuser has granted Root Explorer permission. So it looks like it is now rooted, even after getting the error and aborted. Without using fastboot, Root Explorer stays with R/W and Superuser always grants permission. Is there a better way to confirm it is rooted?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yes read post 2. you can download root checker and it will tell u if your rooted or not
[HTC Sensation] Kurisu87:
works great, s-off.. clockthingy, just installed insertcoin 1.2 and use the no ense script to get rid of most of the sense crap i.e stocks ect.... now who do I donate to? BIG BIG THANK YOU!

[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
Thanks, I can't believe I missed that!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Well depending on who you want to donate to. If it's for s-off go to the site where you downloaded the revolutionary.exe file from and generate your beta key again. You should then get a link to donate to the team. Otherwise the rom dev should also have a link in their thread for donations if you want to donate for the rom.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yep if your happy about The bootloader unlock its Revolutionary Team you can donate to for their tremendous effort.

if your happy about installing your favourite rom, then its your dev you donate too. for their efforts on having these wicked roms already there for us for when we have S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] mathrania:
I did the till the STEP 2 sucessfully, and i am getting S OFF too. But how do i take a backup of my stock ROM via CWM recovery? I tried using HBOOT, but did not find any method to take backup.

NOTE: As instructed in the step "Remove PG58IMG from your memory card and YOU can now root below or install custom roms usin CWM", I have deleted the file PG58IMG from the SD card.

Please guide me to take a backup of my Current/Stock ROM
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
With using Root Checker and Root Explorer to see if the phone was rooted, I have confirmed that the root zip file can be installed without having to be in the SD root. Also, when I installed it from the sd/movie file because recovery did not show the zip file in the SD root, and got the error and aborted message, my Sensation still was rooted!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Glad to hear it worked.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:

[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
this guide is very old and was written long before ICS ,

you already took from it what you should take , S_OFF , Root ,Custom recovery , you don't need this thread anymore " except if you later on want to do S-ON for warranty reasons "

you need to change CWM to 4EXT " required by ICS Roms " , you can get it here Guide for installing Both Custom / Stock Recovery ( Downloads and Methods )

Guide for ICS is here , How To Flash ICS 3.32 Firmware & ARHD 6.5x ICS Rom
[HTC Sensation] dr69:
Thanks for your.response:

1- thank god NO warranty reason to S-On.

2- ill take a look at the guides you linked as soon as i get home for changing from CWM to 4EXT, even thou i dont know.how to use 4Ext or how to access it.

3- the other link you provided by the looks of it its gonna be.for.ARHD and custom Roms and stuff like.that, therfore i assume you didnt understand my post, but at the moment i dont want Custom Roms, right now i.just want

1- undo root and cwm.

2- update to ics if.possible with the one the is on my ota notification bar.

3- after ics update somehow...regain s-off

4- root.

5- custom recovery (most likely 4ext)

Then be happy

Thanks thou for ur fast reponse, every little bit of info helps

I was putting my phone back to S-ON so I can return it for a warranty issue and I ran into a problem. Following the directions in the OP I flashed the T-MOUS 1.27 and then set the S-ON. Upon reboot got the "Security Warning" so I pulled the battery and entered fastboot again in order to reflash the RUU. This is where I ran into an issue. It hangs on "verifying signature" and then gives me an Error[132]. I tried many times and cannot get it to work. I also ran a search and cannot seem to find a fix for this.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Try booting your device into fastboot mode and connect to pc and install these drivers. After that in cmd prompt window from your adb folder enter the following cmd - fastboot devices. If connected you should see your devices serial number returned.

Try putting your device into fastboot mode first and then try running the RUU again. If that doesn't help try this

[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Well the good news is, if you can still get to bootloader mode then it's not bricked. Just to confirm, what rom was on the device before you started this? I presume the PG58IMG file you loaded to your sd card was the 3.32 firmware package? As you don't mention having done SuperCID I'm guessing that's the problem. Follow these steps below to either set SuperCID or else use the firmware package from Kohr-Ar that matches your devices CID and MID.

Hi,

If you are s-off,try flashing HBoot 1.17

If that works,then finish rooting and superCID.

Then follow THIS GUIDE

:)
[HTC Sensation] Gulfcoastowl:
to use the firmware package from Kohr-Ar that matches your devices CID and MID, I do not know the CID of my phone now. I am a t-mobile HTC sensation 4G customer in USA. Can you tell me which file to use?

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

I tried flashing the PGIMG file from the link you speciefied but it says model number incorrect during boot. I am a t-mobile user from USA. Do not know my CID/MID
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
You need to boot your device to bootloader (fastboot usb) then using your adb tools enter the following commands in cmd prompt:

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid

Alternatively try flashing back to firmware 1.17 and then complete the root process.
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
Thank you for your help. I went ahead and downloaded the 1.50 RUU before you had posted and that did the trick.

I am still running into a small issue. I cannot seem to go back to T-MOB010 CID from super CID. I am doing what it says to do, but when I reboot and run the getvar command it still reads 11111111. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Gulfcoastowl:
adb tools not able to identify the phone. Is there a way I can CID or where can i get the PGIMG file I need???
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Did you enter "fastboot oem writecid T-MOB010"?

If your device is in fastboot usb mode, did you enter "fastboot devices" to see if phone is identified and you have a file named fastboot.exe in your adb tools folder? Otherwise you can try the TMOUS packages from here:
[HTC Sensation] jibninjas:
Yes
[HTC Sensation] Gulfcoastowl:
I tried "fastboot devices" to see, but phone is not identified. I probably would need the ginger bread version of t-mobile as I tried the first T-mobile ICS link that you provided but no use.
