Hi,

Life is easier with super cid.

Did you read the "HERE" I showed you?

One way or the other, it is necessary in order to install ICS.

Don't worry about the "locked".

It's not really locked.

:)
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
Well, in order for me to do Super cid, I need my phone to have a rom - I don't have any - I tried to install elegancia ICS rom which formatted my sd card - I'm really in a corner here - Yes, I did - it talks about MID&CID matches - How do I do that? Also, I'm with Vodafone so I placed the 3.24 PG58IMG and that's when it's coming up with Incorrect Model Id.

I really appreciate you helping me out here.

stuck in bootloop with all roms?

i seem to be stuck in a strange situation.

i have successfully rooted my hero and desire hd in the past and today i used this method with my sensation xe

my xe starts up after iv flashed a rom

the white htc screen shows up

the rom begins to boot

after 10-15 seconds of the boot animation the phone switches off and the process starts again

i dont know what to try

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

oh and i have tried 2 different roms and full wipes both times
[HTC Sensation] su27:
I don't really know which boot.img I have...

I had ARHD 6.0.1 so I had to flash new 3.12.401.102 firmware. Later I flasher RCMix 3.5 which is based on 1.05.401.4.

RUU I tried to flash in order to back to stock ROM is RUU_Pyramid_Orange_PL_1.45.69.3_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220557_signed, but it seems it didnt install correctly because I still have 4ext recovery.

And I still can't flash any RUU, getting bootloader 150 and 132 errors.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Try THIS

It should take you back to where you started.

:)
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
Thanks - Tried that - still bloody saying Model ID incorrect - Update fail - i'm hoping it's not bricked.

Sigh!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Go back to the "HERE" I showed you earlier and figure out how to get your cid and mid.

Then open the 1.17 zip(don't unzip it) and edit the android-info.txt by adding your cid and mid.

Save the changes and then try to flash the zip again.

:)
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
That's the challenge mate - state that my phone is in, I can't even download an app that will retrieve the mid and cid. sigh - maybe ask for help in the thread?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Manually put the phone in the bootloader/hboot mode Navigate to fastboot by pressing volume down and pressing power button to select (power off > vol down + power on) It will take you to the fastboot bootloader screen on your phone Connect your phone via USB Your Screen should now read fastboot USB :

enter the command "fastboot getvar cid"

Then "fastboot getvar mid" (without the "")

:)
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
Thanks - I can see Fastboot USB but where am I meant to enter the command you mentioned?

I have sensation z710e [Not Sensation XE z715e] ... I will do test to make S-ON and try Gold Card. Btw thanks for the link. I personally love Vivo than Pyramid, so I use vivo as my daily phone. Vivo is better in design and appearance.
[HTC Sensation] su27:
Si, theoretically, flashing RUU with the same boot.img as one of my roms before s-on - ARHD or RCMix should solve problem? How can I check which boot.img I have?
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
i downloaded the tacoroot file the adb files as well as supertoolv3 for htc.. when i open adb.exe it reads then it close.. is there any software needed to install before running adb?

when i open supertoolv3 and click 2 for tacoroot nothing happens..

still s-on version 1.77 sensation xe..
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Are you using Windows? Make sure the program you want to run is in the same folder as adb!

To run adb.exe, open a command window (select Run from the Start menu and type in "cmd", hit Return)

Once in the command window, change to the directory (folder) where adb.exe is. For example, if it's in the "adb" folder on the c drive, type "cd c:\adb". Then test to see whether adb sees your device by typing "adb devices". It should return your device serial number.

Hope this helps.

[HTC Sensation] su27:
After flashing the last ROM I got before S-on (RCMix) I'm getting bootloop at second splash. I'm able to connect to device via revolutionary but it doesn't finish "s-off-ing" before reboot.

It says:

Found your device: HTC Sensation (pyramid-1.18.0000, Android: 4.0.3, ROM version: 3.12.401.2)

So, probably I'm stuck with ICS Rom boot.img and have to wait for signed ISC RUU?
[HTC Sensation] john_matrix:
Can you provide us a screenshot of what Revolutionary says?

Cause it's a strange hang message.
[HTC Sensation] raydm:
So I am on latest ics arhd with revolutionary s-off . Firmware was 3.24 .. my qestion is can I just run stock ruu to revert back to stock tmobile .. I am on super cid as well.... Ics browser is so slow ... Will it be difficult to revert back to s-off after that ?
[HTC Sensation] su27:
I checked my browser history and I'm pretty sure that my last ROM before, apparently unsuccessful RUU operation (even though there was no errors), was RCMix_ICS_v20_STbase with 3.12.401.102 firmware. But flashing it in order to match ROM with boot.img still ends with bootloop after second splash.

No, I'm just telling what ROM revolutionary shows. The error I get:

Caroline failed, but had this to say: entation fault

But I'm trying to use revolutionary during bootloop so it may not work. Is there any other way to S-Off besides revolutionary?

I'm starting to afraid there is no way to unbrick the phone, unles official, signed HTC ICS RUU shows up :(
[HTC Sensation] tainle:
I am at the revolutionary site and in the beta key box. os is Windows, Device is HTC Sensation (i have tmobile sensation 4g, hope my phone work with this thread and section) and what the Hboot version do I select? I have no idea to find about hboot. help please
[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
Has anyone successfully returned to stock after going to ics firmware? I have a serious dust problem and want to send it in under warranty.
[HTC Sensation] su27:
Yes, every ROM before RUU booted and worked. Apparently something went wrong during flashing RUU - now I know it didn't erase my recovery - after htc.dev unlock I still have 4ext.

My fault is that I didn't checked if rom is working properly and did s-on immediately.

No success flashing firmware again or flashing Hboot 1.17 - It stops at "Parsing PG58IMG.zip" and returns to bootloader menu. The same with any rom.zip extracted from signed or test RUUs.

Running RUU from my PC ends with 155 or 132 bootloader error.

Regarding revolutionary info - I checked it again and after flashing RCMix 3.5 it shows 2.3.4 ROM. But I run it during bootloop so it cant S-off properly.

When I relock bootloader it won't boot at all an stops at bootloader menu.

:(

Hi,

you need to downgrade your firmware first.

Hboot 1.17 is here

Downgrade, then install the ruu appropriate to your phone.

[HTC Sensation] Sleepytime28:
Great. Many thanks.

hi guy, i have an issue when i tried to s off my phone

it stopped after first time the phone boot to fastboot..
[HTC Sensation] gualm2:
Retry it until it succeeds.
[HTC Sensation] zack_sparrow:
i had been tired last hr,,,

idk what wrong with it,,
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
the case mostly related to driver. Please check by put your phone at device state (Normal android operations) and fastboot state > connect to your PC and ensure your pc recogbnze phone at all state.
[HTC Sensation] zack_sparrow:
thx

i re-installed the htc sync then it worked.
[HTC Sensation] su27:
An update on my problem:

I was able to boot into rom by flashing RCMix (2.3.5, 1.05.401.4) and then, flashing boot.img extracted from this rom, via fastboot.

So what I learn, and what may be worth putting on the first page:

When You are S-ON and htc.dev unlocked and want to flash custom ROM you have to extract boot.img from this rom and flash it via fastboot

So currently I have my Sensation S-ON, htc unlocked with hboot 1.18.0000 and custom Gingerbread booting with some FC.

Theoretically, from now on, I should be able to gain S-Off/root via revolutionary but it restarts the phone after "Zerging root" then hangs after restart. System boots up after removing battery but revolutionary ends with "Failed to get root"
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Congratulations that

my method

for flashing boot.img through fast boot have worked , ( which i

repeatedly explain it to you

more than 5 or 6 times , and also through

lots and lots of PM's

to you )

in XDA , member help and spend their time to solve problems which don't belong to them , the least is to give them credit for their advices , and thanks them for helping you .

actually this make me sad that XDA spirit does't exist any more for some members !!!!!!

i guess now you should Press my thanks Button
[HTC Sensation] su27:
Yes, of course I should've mentioned that it was trkaaa that proposed me right solution in our private conversation.

(Although, it is not nice to edit previous posts which have already been answered...)

Finally I was able to downgrade my system to GB 2.3.3 and gain S-off with revolutionary. Thanks all for help :)
[HTC Sensation] john_matrix:
This is good! ;)
[HTC Sensation] mchadsac:
I tried following this, got it to S-off, but revolutionary would not install clockwork. I tried a couple other methods and nothing worked. I am now stuck in a boot-loop but can get to the fastboot screen with this at the top:

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.27.1100

And then it shows the HBOOT menu, etc...

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this or what I should do next?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] sika68:

Finally, after weeks of try and error, this is the only method that gave me S-off on Hboot 1.18.0000. Thank you very much

New thread for my method for Sucessful S-off after wrong S-ON for both GB and ICS Rom

any time , you welcome

link to my New thread for my method for Sucessful S-off after wrong S-ON for both GB and ICS Rom

also i will add a thread for solving WiFi errors for custom roms resulted in using htc dev unlock Method

I don't have a sensation ,so i have to wait for members feed back

so , i guess since my method is proved working by more than a member , then i thought it is better and more helpful to others to put it as a separate thread in the forum for whom they need it can find it easily , because it is unlikely that they find it here ( a very huge thread )

i noticed that this thread is very huge 3500 + and , also not discussing the case of members using htc dev unlock , also not discussing S-ON that been done wrongly or by mistake by some of us

Please Press my thanks Button , hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] su27:
Did you try flashing recovery.img via fastboot?
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
Hi if I am wanting to install a custom rom (revolution hd probably) and have a stock unrooted sensation, I just need to follow steps 1 and 2 right? And that will allow me to use root apps such as titanium backup etc?

Thanks for the help, just wanted to check before I followed your guide.
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
I had my phone rooted and S-off and super CID. As an exercise I installed the orgional rom which was a vodaphone rom and then changed it back to S-on so my bootloader now reads:

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.17.006

I just checked the CID and it is still showing as 11111111

The phone did boot ok. If I had to return the phone for any reason under warrently would this be ok? I ran the command fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 and the phone booted up ok.

When I first bought the phone I didn't check to see what the CID was. I bought it of amazon sim free. It seemed to be a vodaphone phone and I could use any sim card so I am wondering was it all ready with a CID of 11111111?
[HTC Sensation] Dr.dre:
Nope! You have to follow up till step 3 because after that you'll have superuser app on your phone and then you'll be able to use apps that require root.

And if you want to straight away flash Android Revolution without backing up any data from your current stock ROM then you can follow Step 1 & 2 because Custom ROM's come pre-installed with Superuser app.
[HTC Sensation] snah65:
Hi I am feeling super noob again.... after flashing my hero i tried to do the same with my failing sensation to see if its running better with a other rom. So I did step 1 to 4 and therafter I installed insertcoins rom. My phone is now hanging at the beats audio screen and does not react to anything I do, I also try to enter recovery mode (vol down +power) but that also did not work.

Thanks for the help!

Video link for very detailed Revolutionary Method instructions

Video link for very detailed Revolutionary Method instructions ( for

htc Incredible 2

phone , it is for gingerbread also ) ,

Procedure is the same for all devices ,

Only difference is you replace any information related to Incredible 2 with Sensation information

( i.e choose device as sensation and your sensation bootloader ) in here

link at my Post under title " Revolutionary Method ( Gingerbread ) " in here [FONT=&quot]here[/FONT]

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Revolutionary i think flashes CWM v4.x.x

which has a bug doesn't charge the phone when it is off

, use CWM v5.0.8 i think and flash it manually , then after that instal 4EXT

touch

( it has a ton of endless options )

you can flash recovery from your PC using adb ( this is the Proper way )

Also if you ware trying to get into recovery to do a factory reset , there is a factory reset inside bootloader (

i never tried that

)

when you install a Rom specially when the Rom Base is different , you have to do full wipe , or even a super wipe ( if the developer requested it )

super wipe additionally formats your boot.img , and certain areas on your SD card related to system
[HTC Sensation] fredcorp6:
haha liking the name "Dr Dre" ;)

ok cool, I dont have any data anyway its a brand new phone, so think ill just go ahead and flash the ROM through recovery after step 2.

Thanks for the help.

Couple more things... Clockwork recovery v5.0.0.8 does work correctly right? Cos i remember there being a version that would not work properly on my G2 so I just used v3.x.x.x

And also, once i complete step 2 and have installed CWM, there will be nothing stopping me backing up the stock unrooted ROM through recovery will there? Just incase I feel the need to revert back to it.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] Dr.dre:
Yup! Clockwork works fine, I started with clockwork but then I switched to 4EXT Touch recovery(It's awesome) and once you flash the clockwork recovery then you can easily backup the existing unrooted stock ROM.

BTW If you want to try 4EXT, Here's the thread

go back to stock cid

hi, need urgent help.

My sensation xe vibration stop working, i need to go back to stock condition to send for warranty.

i have done installing stock RUU and now it was completely stock with S-On, but the problem is my cid is supercid which is 111111, how can i return back to stock cid?

thank
[HTC Sensation] Dr.dre:
If you remember your stock cid then just write it as you wrote the '111111' cid and then give that "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" command to complete the process. I'm not sure about this but I think you restore your stock cid like this only but as I said I'm not sure:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
Any help would be appreciated. Just saw post above but I dont remember what the stock CID was!! I forgot to write it down when I did the super CID!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Try opening a terminal on your phone and type:

getprop ro.cid

I know I'm super cid ,but when I do that in terminal,it shows what I was before .

Go figure.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
That is exactly what I just did! I got a value of VODAP001 so I am assuming if I change the CID to that, that should be me sorted!!!!!! Handy tip guys, it seems to work no matter what rom you use!

I have full super CID and ICS rom and still got my orgional CID hopefully this has sorted the issue!!!
[HTC Sensation] Nucleotide:
Sorry if this has been asked/answered already.

If I SuperCID, will I lose my current ROM/setup? Will I need to reflash a ROM after SuperCIDing?

No! You will not loose your current ROM or any sort of data.

Revolutionary Method ( Gingerbread )

Video link for very detailed instructions ( for htc Incredible 2 phone ,it is for gingerbread also ) ,

Procedure is the same , Only difference is you have to replace any required information " name and bootloader " and downloads " recovery " to fit sensation

, Link is [FONT=&quot]here[/FONT]

uninstall htc new drivers

and htc Sync , and use the

old htc drivers

(v 3.0.0.007) mentioned in revolutionary page ( for windows users ) ,New htc drivers prevent Revolutionary from doing its job ( Proved ).

revolutionary page is here

Old htc driver download link for HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

if you are using htc dev unlock method , you have to re-lock your bootloader before using revolutionary

run Revolutionary as administrator

remove any conflicting software ( like Verizon vcast ) ,remove any conflicting APK from your device , disable any firewall or antivirus , use a different clean browser without the add-on extensions , clean browser cache

Copy and Paste in cmd

Better to avoid typing , use copy and Paste

see attached photo , right click top toolbar and select edit then paste or copy
