Hi,

Sometimes it takes more than one go to make it work.

Try again.

:)
[HTC Sensation] raggatokan:
Hi, is there any way to have s-off after official update to ICS? My CID is: htc__32.

Am I correct, that there is no way to take off the lock right now?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Correct.

For now.

People are reportedly working on a solution.

:)
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Can someone tell me how to get root after doing the htc dev unlock of the hboot? Thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] f4rell09:
I have already tried repeating 5 times ..still no root access..what's next???
[HTC Sensation] deano309:
You are trying an old version, try version 3.0.7 efghi - for Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb & Ice Cream Sandwich!

http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Once installed, open the Superuser App, go to settings and check for SU Binary updates. Once checked (Internet connection required) choose update anyway!

Hope this helps :)
[HTC Sensation] deano309:
Install recovery, then start recovery and flash the file I linked to above!

Guides on how to do this are in the original post :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Have you got another version of that file?

My security software went ape-**** over it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] deano309:
I have uploaded it here: http://www.2shared.com/file/qBBpUUyR/Superuser-307-efghi.html

(I removed signatures and duff script from zip)

Don't know why it would pose a threat, I have scanned it and I also use it with no problems?!

Hope this helps :)

Thanks man!! Got root access now!!

Hey guys!

I'm trying to S-Off my sister's phone, but it just doesn't want to work. I type in everything correct in revolutionary.io form and I've also typed the beta key correct multiple times, but it keeps saying "invalid beta key" and I can't move on from there.

Any advice???
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
It's type sensitive, copy and paste the BETA key.
[HTC Sensation] theonlysamiam:
That did the trick! Thank you!

So I made a boo-boo and I accidentally tried to update the PG58IMG file of

Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU by mike1986 and at the end of it failed because CID was incorrect since I forgot to SUPERCID. Now it's stuck in a boot loop. What do I do???
[HTC Sensation] theonlysamiam:
Ohhh nvm I was able to fix this issue. I simply updated it with 1.17 and it works now!! Woot!
[HTC Sensation] k00lrav:
missed a step

hey guys i was going through the process and i went as far as installing the rom, but i get a bootloop. it looks to me that i forgot to do the step for SUPERCID, how do i go about correcting this. please help thank you

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

hey i have the same issue. can you tell me what u did to fix.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Which ROM are you trying to flash?

:)
[HTC Sensation] skittleys:
Someone needs to update the OP. There's at least two problems:

The link to download the recovery from MultiUpload isn't working (it goes to MultiUpload, but can't find the zip on Hotfile).

Most of the info about how to get the HBOOT version has disappeared. Here's what it used to say (copied from this thread):

Revolutionary Tool Not Working...What could be wrong ?

The Revolutionary Tool detected the phone & after entering the beta release key (& Pressing ENTER), it accepted the key & started the process...But this is what I am getting:

"Zerging Root...this might take a minute or so...Failed to get Root! :(

Press (almost) any key to exit."

I checked the HBOOT Screen too...it still displays "S-ON"...

What could be wrong ?

1. I used Windows 7, & tried both,i.e. connecting in HTC Sync & Charge Only Mode...but getting the same dialoge...

2. Phone is HTC Sensation z710e, Android Ver. 2.3.4, HBOOT Ver: 1.18.0000

:confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
your software is too new ( is it 1.50 or 52.720.x or higher ) in about phone

if so you will need to downgrade your software or use tacoroot without downgrade

you need also to follow revolutionary precautions in my guide

link to my guide is

- Downgrade S-ON New firmware and GB OTA for Successful Revolutionary first time S-off ( Sensation ) [FONT=&quot]here[/FONT]

follow title downgrade S-ON New firmware .... , and " revolutionary precautions "

[HTC Sensation] erdo:
Hi, I want to upgrade to ics and I am on stock rom with root, s-off and cwm installed. My device is asian 1.45.707.1 version. Which way shall go; use the 1.35... ruu to be able to get the update via OTAs till ics or use a custom ics rom. I figured that going form gb to ics, I need a firmware update of some sort, anf there is the hboot version change that bothers me, what are the consequences?

1- If I go one way can I go the other way later?

2- If I choose the stock ics, I guess there is no root option yet?

3- Do I need to super-cid for a custom rom?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
1. Yes you can return to GB from ICS (if you use the custom unlocked firmware)

2. I wouldn't suggest stock ICS though as it is currently not able to be s-off'd

3. No need for SuperCID. The firmware upgrades do include new radios and hboot versions, but if you follow the link below, the hboot versions included in the firmware packages have been unlocked.

You'll find all you need here

[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Here is my problem: I run Revolutionary and enter my beta key. It does something and restarts the phone in HBOOT menu. I see " waiting for fast boot" on my computer and nothing else happens.

here I paste my revolutionary window content:

Waiting for device...

Found your device: HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e (pyramid-1.18.0000, A

ndroid: 2.3.4, ROM version: 1.73.415.3)

This is a beta release and requires a beta release key.

Please visit: http://revolutionary.io for more information.

Enter beta key [ serial: **************(masked) ]: *****************(masked)

Beta key accepted - thank you for participating!

Zerging Root... this might take a minute or so.. Root acquired!

Sending in Caroline...

Cleaning up...

Rebooting to fastboot...

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!

Waiting for fastboot...
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Boot your device into fastboot and then install these drivers - http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Would you please explain how do I boot into fast boot? I am very naive in this case, Should I enable "fast boot" under power?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
No, make sure fast boot under power is unchecked, then switch phone off, connect to pc via usb then Hold vol down and switch phone on. In bootloader select FASTBOOT and then install the drivers.
[HTC Sensation] Chuck_Diesel:
Okay, so I got my phone S-off quite some time ago, but was intimidated by the amount of adb work and possibility of bricking my phone. Having tired of waiting for ICS through T-Mobile, I'm taking matters into my own hands. When I boot into HBOOT the screen looks something like this.

***locked***

pyrimad pvt s-off rl

hboot-1.18.000

radio-10.14.9035.01_m

emmc-boot

I guess my question is, what do I have to do next in the steps of gaining full root. Because I noticed that my hboot version is different than the one noted in the setup guide. Sorry for the long post, just trying to do things right.
[HTC Sensation] jacko_oafc:
Just got my XE yesterday. When i went onto the http://revolutionary.io/ to get my code. it did not say my HBOOT under Sensation. My HBOOT is:1.27.0000. Is there anything i can do?

Cheers

Jacko
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
This is currently your only option to gain s-off
[HTC Sensation] registr5:
If you'd like to get S-off you can use Juopunutbear S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
This looks like your phone was once s-off'd and then you appear to have reflash a stock rom, thereby relocking the phone and reverting to a stock hboot version. I suggest re-running the tool - ***locked*** should change to Revolutionary and your hboot should change to 1.17.1111 (IIRC).

There's actually no need to do any adb work to install ICS on your device. Once you've rerun the revolutionary tool, you can then install CWM and then root your device. There's no need to SuperCID your device, so no adb required. Once that's done head on over to here to upgrade the firmware and then you can flash a custom ICS rom.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
go here Guide for installing Both Custom / Stock Recovery ( Downloads and Methods )

try this link first try also this link http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Non-Stock-Recovery/ ( use Method 2 )

yes you can and go for the above link for recovery

if you prefer stock software , then install this by Mike Latest Stock ICS Rom you need to instal unlocked firmware first ( it will replace the locked Hboot 1.27.0000 that you have now ) , then the OTA then install " Rooting tool " Also

go to this Guide To Successful S-Off After Wrong S-On Brick (ICS/GB) and only follow title " Revolutionary Method and Precautions ( Gingerbread ) "

it includes a video and all precautions to use revolutionary correctly

if after that still not doing S-OFF then maybe your software need downgrade , Please post you software version as seen in about phone

Juopunutbear S-OFF , but my advice is to wait for a week or so to read the members feedback after they used it

PG58IMG.zip

Thanks a bunch! I got S-Off'd and successfully installed Recovery ( using PG58IMG.zip attached to your original post), backed up my current ROM using Recovery. Now I am looking forward installing an ICS rom on my phone.

What I want to know is: What ROMs can I install with current firmware version of my phone? What do I need to install ICS ROMs? Please note that I followed exactly what you said and my HBOOT screen now reads like this:

PYRAMID PCT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.17.1111

RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2

eMMC-boot

Jun 2 2011,22:31:39

I am also looking for a nice battery efficient ROM.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

With your current firmware,you should be able to install any GingerBread ROM.

If you are wanting Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS),then your best bet is to follow THIS GUIDE

Read it all carefully,then read it again.

It has all the links and direction to install 3.32 firmware ,and ARHD ROM.

Good luck.

:)
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Currently I am only s-off'd and have Clockword installed. Can I still get an install OTA updates? Is it safe to download and install an OTA update while s-off'd?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
AFAIK you will get notified of updates but can't install them as I believe this can only be done via stock recovery. You also need to be careful as to which OTA updates you flash as the latest ones come with the 1.27.0000 bootloader which can't be unlocked via Revolutionary. The only method currently to unlock this hboot is Juopunut.
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Ok, I flashed ARHD 2.3.6 (ICS) and I have WiFi bug. ( wifi networks disappear).
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Try flashing one of the standalone custom kernels such as bricked or faux123 or even the stock kernel posted by baad. Wifi errors are often kernel related
[HTC Sensation] knotrkr:
Am I the only one that Revolutionary just won't boot for anymore? I just had to replace my sensation therefore I had to redo the s-ff , root and all of that but now when I click the Revolutionary.eve it just blinks on and off. Is anyone else having this problem or perhaps what I may be doing wrong? I got the bootloader unlocked and Perm root with the HTC SuperTool but that won't give me S-off. Any Ideas??? BTW I tried in on 2 different PC's. I windows 7 64 bit,, 1 windows vista 32 bit.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
your bootloader should be locked

follow this Guide To Successful S-Off After Wrong S-On Brick (ICS/GB)

follow this title " Revolutionary Method and Precautions ( Gingerbread ) " and the video
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
Hi, I'm a very newbie guy.

I just bought my first HTC phone and just getting my first HTC jailbreaking experience.

I S-OFF'ed the phone. Then the next step is flashing the PG58IMG file for CWM.

My first HBoot version is 1.17.0011 and I found a link that refer me to

this PG58IMG.zip file (I really forget where is the link, it's on xda).

I tried to install it and hopped to get the cwm installed, but it didn't.

And now I got the HBoot version changed to 1.23.0000.

The questions is :

- What file I've downloaded & installed?

- How do I turn the HBoot version back to 1.17.0011?

- I'm following the instruction here to get the CWM installed but I can't find the PG58IMG file. The links are broken. Where can I find the correct mentioned file?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
are you sure you are S-OFF ? , Revolutionary S-OFF Gives hboot 1.17.1111 , boot into bootloader and make sure it says S-OFF

what you downloaded is an old ICS Firmware 3.12 ( that is the only firmware that includes hboot 1.23 ) , the size of the file should be between 10 ~ 15 MB , if the file size you downloaded is huge more than 300 MB then it is an ICS RUU 3.12.x.x ( but i am almost sure it is the firmware Package )

try to escape from hboot 1.23 because it is a locked ICS Hboot

to get back to 1.17.1111 use firmware Package 1.17 , choose the Package according to your cid ( if you are not super cid ) , this firmware needs to be used with a GB Rom ,

go here for All Firmware User Friendly Firmware Upgrade

for recovery go to my Post here Guide for installing Both Custom / Stock Recovery ( Downloads and Methods )
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
- What I have originally is 1.17.0011, is the 1.17.1111 is the one I should flash?

- I'm sure that I've s-off'ed. I did it when the hboot ver was on 1.17.0011. I just boot into bootloader and it says "PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL".

- So what I've downloaded is a firmware and not a cwm one? oh my goodness :p Is this also the way to flash a custom rom?

- So the Hboot is have to be unlocked to do a flash etc, am I right?

I will try your steps.

I hope you'll patiently show the noob like me to the light :D
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Custom recovery size is about 5 MB , and firmware 10 ~ 15 MB

to flash custom Roms , it should be from within

Custom

Recovery ( use the install zip from sd card )

you are S-OFF ,

you don't do unlock using htc dev or other methods

, the hboot itself is locked , you should replace it with another unlocked hboot like 1.17.1111 for example ( in this case this is done by flashing the

suitable firmware

)

locked bootloader means it will not execute write commands ( like flashing recovery through fastboot ) , your hboot 1.17.0011 is the original locked hboot , after revolutionary does the S-OFF it replaces that hboot with a better unlocked revolutionary hboot 1.17.1111 ( you don't need the original hboot any more )

cid is the indicator of you region or language or Carrier ( this is how certain regions receive updates while others don't ) , also for installing RUU specific for you

Super cid overrides that limitation of region or carrier , you can install any RUU ,

all instructions to know your cid and choose firmware and downloads are in the link i gave you User Friendly Firmware Upgrade , you will not need to super cid when using the friendly firmware , Just choose the suitable package for your cid

firmware is only needed in the following cases :

if you are on BG and want to upgrade to ICS (

must read Guides first carefully

)

if you are on ICS and want to downgrade back to GB ( firmware 1.17 )

if you installed an RUU and it overwritten your hboot with the original locked hboot and you need to get the unlocked hboot back

Solution

i assume you are on GB ? since you didn't do anything yet except flashing the firmware ? right , please post your software version in about phone

you must be on GB Rom even the device don't boot ( i.e your last installed rom was GB )

first download firmeware 1.17 according to your cid

flash it from Bootloader , your hboot should change to 1.17.1111

flash one of the custom recoveries , i prefer for you 4EXT touch

wipe date and install GB custom Rom if you like

for installing ICS you will need further instructions and procedure
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
Hay trkaaa, I successfully did it...!! I installed the recovery through fastboot.

This is a very precious and helpful explaination for noob like me.

Thanks a lot for your guidance.

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

Wow... I'm so fortunate to have this helpful solutions and guidance.

It helps a confuseNsuperNoob like me to learn and able to help other noobs later.

I just got a message right after I flashed the cwm. "This phone is just recovered form an abnormal reset, would you like to tell HTC?" :D Does it mean HTC phone know what I've just done? What could be possibly happen if I press the "Tell HTC" button? Oh, I pressed "Cancel" button btw :D

So do you mean that I shouldn't unlock the bootloader with the method the HTC dev website offer?

CMIIW, The 1.17.0011 is locked and by flashing the 1.17.1111 mean that I've automatically unlocked the hboot. Am I correct?

The bootloader is called hboot, the term is the same, am I correct?

Is RUU is a kind of regional phone radio or another term for a stock rom?

So by flashing the PG58IMG.zip file you gave from User Friendly Firmware Upgrade means that I've got a super cid already, right?

I'm now on GB and let say that I'm going to install a custom ICS rom, should I upgrade the firmware first or just go ahead to CWM and flash the custom ICS rom?

What 'more options' does the 4EXT has?

I've fastbooted a touch CWM 5.8.0.9 using method 1, can I flash the 4EXT CWM right through the touch CWM?

don't report to htc , they probably will register your IMEI or S/N

this is a strange message and i guess

it means you flashed a very wrong file

please inform me in detail , is this file from my Guide , if so please Post the line ( copy paste the line for me

in the Guide i warned against flashing CWM 5.8.0.9 until it is fixed and advised of 4EXT a much superior recovery

So do you mean that I shouldn't unlock the bootloader with the method the HTC dev website offer?

yes , also note that this method ( htc dev may or could void your warranty

CMIIW, The 1.17.0011 is locked and by flashing the 1.17.1111 mean that I've automatically unlocked the hboot. Am I correct?

yes

The bootloader is called hboot, the term is the same, am I correct?

no , difficult to explain , i have a post for the hboot

Is RUU is a kind of regional phone radio or another term for a stock rom?

yes , it is the official software that is released by htc in case you need to flash it manually

So by flashing the PG58IMG.zip file you gave from User Friendly Firmware Upgrade means that I've got a super cid already, right?

no , it will allow you to flash the firmware without the need to do super cid first ( i.e the friendly firmware will act like super cid )

I'm now on GB and let say that I'm going to install a custom ICS rom, should I upgrade the firmware first or just go ahead to CWM and flash the custom ICS rom?

you must read first , solve your problem first , then move to next step

for easy method for installing ICS go here Post # 2 all answers are there

i don't recommend that you install ICS now untill you have a stable Running GB

What 'more options' does the 4EXT has?

same CWM core , by far superior , All ICS Roms are built using it now

lots of options , go to 4ext thread and read

I've fastbooted a touch CWM 5.8.0.9 using method 1, can I flash the 4EXT CWM right through the touch CWM?

recovery is flashed either through fastboot ( if it is recovery.img ) or from hboot ( if it is PG58IMG.zip )

it is not to be flashed through recovery like a Rom

don't use that CWM 5.8.x
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
Lets see... So, I got this message after I fastbooted this file through cmd.

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img

But later, I flashed 4EXT and it works fine. What's wrong with the message? Wasn't it mean the phone is flashed by something 'non-stock-stuff'? The phone is running as usual.

The same message appeared when I flashed the ROOT su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip from here.

Wow... beyond what I've guess. I didn't find a post about hboot explanaition, I just how to play with hboot. Which post I should read?

Oh, I though that the phone will automatically super-cid'ed by flashing the firmware upgrade. How to get super cid access so I can flash any RUU freely?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21922317&postcount=2

That's right..!! :D

I have 4EXT installed and it works fine. I installed it online through apk.

I see... 2 methods in flashing...

I just replace the cwm to the 4EXT one. :)
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
this message is strange and something critical almost happened , anyway you are now on 4EXT , forget about it ( note that i advise not to install it until bugs fixed )

you did not answer me ,

is this link for CWM 5.8 is from my Guide ?

for hboot , read this Post 1226 , and you don't Play with hboot , this is more critical than Radio Flashing and could lead to Permanent Brick

to super cid go to step 4 in this Guide Guide to S-Off, Unlocking, Root, etc

you are S-OFF , why you want to flash RUU ( Rom Update Utility ) , if you like original Software then flash Stock Rooted Custom Roms , Or Stock Rooted OTA
[HTC Sensation] syntax_gosong:
Yes, I did flash the cwm 5.8 right from your guide, the link you gave is :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599816

Is this link correct?

From what I read and understand,

the hboot is the first step who deciding where the second step go,

such as go to recovery or normal boot.

Have I got the correct understanding here?

What actually contained in RUU?
