I need to unroot only (keep CM7 etc) in order to watch rented films while on holiday.

I've tried the modified Videos app, but it seems to report itself as US, and as such I get the error "not available in your country" (UK).

Thanks for any help.

Does the phone run through a few reboots? When do you get the error? Have you tried rerunning the tool after a reboot?
[HTC Sensation] djadjabing:
You mean run revol... Reboot and try again ? No but I can try.

I've read that sometimes there will be rootet but shows an error and other ones told that you have run it 3 times and then reboot to get the s-off but at my phone nothing :(

Just delete something : superuser.apk. How to do ... ? manage app uninstall superuser.apk but the best way (CMIIW) > connect to pc at adb mode > adb start-server > adb root > adb devices (Just to check your device is recognized by pc) > adb remount > adb shell > # cd system/app > rm Superuser.Apk : Note better check with # ls and see what is something looklike superuser.apk <- delete this apk with linux command #rm superuser.apk > #exit > adb reboot .... > You are unrooted.

HI ,

My friend Had unlocked my sensation using this thread.But i want to delete the primary Email(gmail) from my android .It says to factory Reset .Will that result in Locking of my mobile ?
[HTC Sensation] djadjabing:
@Dubai.xda : you have to need to install the HTC driver pack, deinstall the HTC sync (only when u have it installed) then you go to the page from revolutionary download that zip file unzip it start as admin the exe file and select turn serial number go to the revolutionary website selekt your OS hboot (it shows you the dos promt) and you'll get a beta key copy it and paste it in the dos promt enter and take a look what happens :) and then follow the rest of this manual...

Is this enough?

Gretting and merry x mas

@xl VipeR lx

I am trying to open the revolutionary.exe but it just blink as a cmd window and close by self..............? any idea why? iam using winxp & even tried it on the win7 its the same!

WBR

ReyTech.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
if you mean by " unlocked " that you are S-off using revolutionary and Rooted and have a custom recovery like CWM , then in general Factory reset does not make you loose root , and there are a program let you delete or replace any APK called root explorer if you are rooted , if you changed CID then confirm with someone have tried it
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
For going S-OFF do not unlock the bootloader by using htc-dev. Just follow the guide in first page of this thread. follow carefully and strictly. Revolutionary is the tool to direct S-OFF and easy. You need to have understanding general purpose of your PC OS. for windows ensure you installed android usb driver and all driver required. android need windows (xp, 7, vista, 8 etc) drivers : android driver and FASTBOOT driver due to revolutionary will shift from android to fastboot for getting S-OFF. Remember always run as adminsitrator

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Factory RESET only deleting USER DATA > email account setting, stored wifi password, contact, downloaded apps. Factory Reset did not turn your S-ON/S-OFF or Locked/Unlocked status your phone.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Please Explain that further
[HTC Sensation] ReyTech:
Thanks, ive tried everything u mentioned but still the same! the software just starts for hardly blinks for 2sec and then nothing happens? this could be driver issues? what the latest FASTBOOT drivers for htc?

[HTC Sensation] sudeki300:
thanks for the great guide, picked up my sensation xe yesterday as an upgrade from the desire. now it's rooted, S-OFF and superCID, i did try to sim unlock the phone but found just the date above my IMEI number in mobile terminal\ADB, i know there are other methods but don't like the idea that i might lose the data connectivity or network signal at any time. so i might just leave that for when i sell the phone. thanks again.....................sudeki300
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
for driver you can check at HTC website. The easy way is install htcsync applications > sync your phone with your pc > reboot the pc > uninstall htcsync with OPTION DO NOT UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
Any idear about HTC Super Tool v2, please?

try uninstall all htc drivers after uninstalling htc sync , and use the old driver posted at revolutionary site

also you can try a fresh install of windows or a different computer , if it is a driver issue

also uncheck fast boot in setting \power

Exit out of HTC Sync on pc

HTC Super Tool is look good; it is compilation of many tools into one bucket :D usage is absolutely depending on individual convenience. I personally prefer to have everything "manual" and easy to control by our fingers. I did not try this tools. But I think good to try and let everybody know your experience ... it is what this forum for
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
I like manual too :D, and I followed above method without any problem. Thanks anyways

Well if I flash custom ROM, and then I mess up my phone.Will I get my warranty back if I do unroot,s-on and flash original rom ?

Will they in repair center find out that I did root my phone?

Help me guys and girls!!?

P.S.

Sorry on my bad english

I have 1.50.401.1 software number and unbranded HTC sensation 4g
[HTC Sensation] F012DY:
Thanks, that's great!

Could I just rename it to superuser.hide (for example) though, so that I can rename it to .apk to get root back whenever?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
:D Great idea, most linux user usually rename with superuser.bak.apk or whatever different with superuser.apk so u can take back once need.
[HTC Sensation] F012DY:
My problem now is that because it is a system app (I think because CM7 includes it) I cannot delete move or rename it from the phone.

I only have my laptop with me, which doesn't have adb working on it. (I installed the .zip from this thread but I think it must be missing drivers for my Sensation? It says no devices found.)

How can I rename a system app from my device, or, failing that, get adb to work!?

Thanks for all the help...

EDIT ----------------

Ignore the above, I got it to rename with a root file manager.

However despite Superuser.Apk not showing in all drawer, and it being renamed from .Apk, and rebooting, Videos still says I can't play because my device appears to be rooted.

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
Hmmm ... do you have the cm7 rom still (?) I think just delete the superuser.apk in the zip file of cm7 you have, and reflashed to your phone. I believed you just need 7zip application in windows or other compression software to delete an apk in a rom-zip file.

Note : having adb live in pc is mandatory for someone play with rom and flashing festival :)
[HTC Sensation] ianoob:
I have factory reset and unrooted many phones and sent them back for warranty work with no issues. If they do say anything, that was the risk you took when you rooted.

i try to instal clockworkmod but my sensation says that main version is older updat e fail what can i do ? i used htc metod to unlock bootladers maby thats the reason it dont work ?
[HTC Sensation] F012DY:
I deleted busybox and su from /system/xbin but now I cannot connect to a WiFi network. Device times out while obtaining IP. I've repeated this on two different networks (well, one was my laptop acting as a hotspot but actually connected to the same - original - network over WiFi).

Why did deleting su and busybox have this affect, and how can I fix it?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
install a newer version ( v5 and above) of CWM (clockworkmod)

also Rom manager will install the latest suitable version for you , this is the easiest way
[HTC Sensation] reinierkramer:
I dowloaded the version out the main post thats above 5 ? And you must rooted to use ROM manager
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
if you are not S-off ( rooted ) , you can't install CWM recovery or any custom recovery . those are for S-off ( rooted ) devices !
[HTC Sensation] medoo313:
Even when it says "Installation Aborted" go back install root checker and believe it or not it will till you that you have root access:cool:
[HTC Sensation] mczhu:
Not sure if it is mentioned before, we could boot into recovery simply by restarting your phone and holding your volume down button.
[HTC Sensation] Kupfel:
did anyone try chainfire 3d yet?
[HTC Sensation] vlad48:
If you getting this - than it seems that there are files left from your tem root, so just when boot into your android os open the terminal and type:

su

rm -r /data/bin/*

or if you use adb:

adb shell su

adb shell rm -r /data/bin/*

Then reboot into recovery and reapply the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip installation. It will definetely work ;)
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Ok, quick status update. I managed to get it working.

Although I didn't have HTC Sync installed, I did have Droid Explorer on my pc. It seems that any of these apps that automatically connect to the phone via usb will cause the revolutionary tool to hang on method 3.

PS! I also installed as follows:

Connected to usb in normal charge mode (not HTC Sync mode), and ran revolutionary.exe as Administrator. All is good :D

Yippeeee, so after less than 24 hours after having gotten my Sensation it is now S-Off, CWM installed, NANDroid backup taken and Rooted.

Ok, off to find a ROM now.

Read post 1. Near the bottom, you will not lose apps data or anything. UNLESS you go into the advanced menu of clockwork and wipe data, or use factory reset option in clockwork,

Just flashing a Rom will not cause u to lose anything
[HTC Sensation] zippa713:
Probably should mention the serial is NOT the IMEI

MENU>SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>PHONE IDENTITY>SERIAL NUMBER

As well, I would just say to uninstall HTC sync as the very first thing to do, then install the Drivers the tool dev provided. They can re-install after if they would like. This would make the guide more fool-proof!

and battery pulls... not just power down (darn things acts like a blackberry)

But my bootladers are unlocked why i cant install recovery ? Why you need s off i think s off i think the way of htc is prattictaly the same i try first the the s off way but that dont work for me.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
if you used the htc method to unlock your bootloader , then i don't know much about this method and what does it do , i didn't read about it much because i am not going to use it

htc dev site says " After you have unlocked the bootloader, you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire.Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock "

BUT as i remember from what i read , revolutionary method gives ( Opens ) added features to the bootloader more than htc method . better you google it and see for yourself

did you install super user , and if so why not using Rom manager ( requires super user permission )

I ROOT my phone, but I have a question. if i give Restoring factory settings (factory reset) will be something wrong with my phone and with my Root ? Is my phone still be rooted or i will be root it again? PLease help me because i want to delete always from phone but I'm afraid not wrong somewhere

I got a problem! lol And I'm sure is my fault lol...

so basically I brought my phone with full price at T-mobile when I was studding in US and now I left home and they didn't gave me the unlock code... So I wan't to unlock it...

I was starting from the step 1 and I did it nicely just as it was saying.

but on step 2 to install recovery 5.0.0.8

instead of using the PG58IMG from that link I've used the one from "Android Revolution HD 5.0.1" Rom, and at the end It gave me this:

=======================

MODEL ID INCORRECT!

UPDATE FAIL!

PRESS<POWER> TO REBOOT

===============================

MY HBOOT INFO is now this as I was able to unlock it using HTC DEV bootloader....

****LOCKED****

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.20.0000

eMMC-boot

After the error I've tried to use the original PG58IMG and it gave me the same error...

If I try to go to the "Recovery" To Start Clockwork recovery it appears the icon of a phone and a exclamation icon in red on it... so it basically says there is no clocwork right?

Is there a way to reset this and restart?

I've tried to open again REVOLUTIONARY but it doesn't support 1.20.000 HBOOT...

please let me know of what I can do to start the clockwork recovery and continuing rooting...

Thankz :)
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
You are rooted. Factory reset will only wipe user data : like email account, stored wifi password, downloaded apps. Your root will still remain in your phone. BTW did you s-off your phone ?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

You need to back to stock rom and utilize Goldcard ... googling how to create goldcard. Can You boot into fastboot ? and having adb/fastboot live in your pc. Try connect your phone to PC in fastboot state. in adb check with the following command fastboot getvar all and post the output here. Many users will able to give you clue.

Hi,

I have a problem as I came from another rom android 2.3.5 - sense 3.5 using 4EXT as a recovery.

steps for Rom Manager are :

Rom manager need super user to be installed

make sure you have steady connection , and open Rom Manager , sometimes it will ask you for a wifi connection if you are on pass through

Press the first upper line " Flash CWM Recovery , when there are similar devices , a popup will ask you to choose your device , just choose it and it will take a min or two ,and it will inform you that your recovery is flashed
