I went back to S-ON by using the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3", I always had my doubts about the statement that this will brick your device without restoring STOCK RUU, in some cases it might but it didn't for me.

I didn't use a one click root tool I used Juoponutbear and now all of the sudden I am S-OFF and unlocked :)

Ohh then all good now :D

Please help

I really appreciate any help

Thanks Louie
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Is that an sensation ROM?

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Some other user reported too that after flashing that Rom changes also recovery

But are you sure it changed also the bootloader status?

If yes then go to kohr-rah's thread and flash 3.33 universal

It will give you also patched boot which is unlocked

Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums.it is.important

[HTC Sensation] LouieBlu:
I don't know what happened honestly but I was using ICS Elegancia Blitz on 3.32

and everything was fine but I wanted to upgrade to a JB Rom this Xenon seemed to be the most stable after hours of reading different roms, and its a really good rom dont get me wrong but I have no idea as to why this happened, personally I like 4EXT better but now my computer wont even recognize the phone,usb doesn't even mount not even from the bootloader or their menu, I was reading on their thread that they feel that they uploaded a wrong version of the rom and theat they were going to update it. BTW is this the thread you told me to go too just want to make sure

Man I need some serious help i have been at this all day I flashed 3.33 and its on my bootloader I then added the 4EXT Recovery control .apk to SD card, then I booted into Xenon HD Rom and then I used ES File Explorer to install 4EXT and it did, so now I went back into my bootloader and went to recovery and there it still is Team Win Recovery Project V 2.5.0.0 , I did a wipe factory reset, wipe data,wipe cache,and dalvik and tried to install Elegancia Blitz ICS which I still had on my SD card, the Aroma installer begins but then I noticed it said flash successful way too quick, I rebooted the phone when it asked me too, and it still going back to the Xenon Rom, I am Stoked here I don't know what to do next to get rid of this Rom and install one that doesn't take over your phone

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME:crying::confused::(:eek:

Louie
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Because the 4EXT.apk isn't the recovery. That's the app that interfaces with the recovery.

Do you have a 4EXT app in your app drawer now? If you do, open the app and use the app to install 4EXT recovery.

In the main menu of th app choose Online Install, teh first option.

It will bring you up a list of rrecoveries. Makes sure you choose the "Touch" list. Not the classic.

Pick the newest one and 4EXT will be installed.
[HTC Sensation] LouieBlu:
Thank you for your help Skipjacks, Ok I managed to get 4EXT back now. I Installed SamSation Rom and it looks great but after flashing PG58IMG.zip 3.33 from Kohr-Ah's guide to my bootloader I have no network and barely any wifi, should I go back to 3.32 will it recognize my Simple mobile network ? the reason I went to 3.33 was because the Xenon HD Rom Locked me

i searched allot and i couldn't fine solution

can u or anybody help

my hboot 1.18.0000

and i tryed to flash many rooms with smart flash using 4ext and didt boot :'(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ok you need an RUU to restore everything to stock

get me with these details

first i need some details

post the complete output of this below command (except imei and serial number )

(you need to type this with phone connected from bootloader to pc ..and you need to open a terminal from your adb/fastboot folder then type the command ...just like how you typed commands during HTC-DEV unlock )

fastboot getvar all
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
otherwise flash this gb rom from recovery

http://d-h.st/bqL

you are still on gb firmware that's why you couldn't boot any ics/jb rom
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The problem with this method is that he will have a working ROM but the soff process will become difficult ..as revolutionary has too much trouble dealing with unlocked hboots and custom recoveries

I will try to flash cm-10 gb then i will try to use Revolutionary to s-off then flash universal framework 3.33 and flash the vipers 3.1.2 :) :D

is the order correct ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Nope that way won't do ..

Do the way I'll tell you now it will be much easier and Hassel free

Get the proper gingerbread Ruu ( if sensation xe get the xe one )

From here ( dont try ICS Ruu's it will be a pain in future for you )

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531571

Then relock the bootloader

BTW adb won't work from bootloader you can only use fastboot commands

By typing "fastboot devices " it will get your device listed

Note: if phone is properly connected ..it would say FASTBOOT USB at the top in bootloader ..if its saying HBOOT press power button once then it should say FASTBOOT USB

To relock the bootloader

Type this command

fastboot oem lock

Then double click the Ruu ..at this point on your PC

Follow the on screen instructions

Once Ruu is done ..try to boot the phone directly

Then try revolutionary soff

Then come back again I'll tell you further as to what to do

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

Oho the links are dead ...is your phone sensation or sensation xe ?

I'll try to get the Ruu ..otherwise give me the output of my first question that will be pretty helpful to get things done

[HTC Sensation] alza:
So I currently am S-OFF, have 4EXT recovery, and SuperSU and running stock ROM.

If I now want to change my CID to SuperCID, will it erase my rom? Will I have to reflash, or can I just do a recovery of a backup in 4EXT, and keep SuperCID?

Also, what I just asked for CID, is it the same if I want to update my Firmware to 3.33?
[HTC Sensation] daorderdillon:
Nope it won't

Hi,

Always back up your stuff before doing anything major.

That means nandroid and titanium Backup.

Super CID does not change with the firmware update.

So I can just do them both without any changes to my ROM? Ok thanks guys :)

Does it matter which one I do first?

[HTC Sensation] dabyd64:
I had a HTC Sensation with broken digitizer.

I had to S-OFF to get superCID and get the screen calibration program to work (PG58DIAG.NBH).

Of course, the bootloader was giving errors (Security failed and CID not matching). I had to get SuperCID! And for that, first S-OFF.

But juopunutbear required to be in normal mode and ADB enabled. Damn!:silly:

I dind't find any howto to achieve this, just people complaining the same situations as me. So, I must say that this "simple" guide is the result of a lot of work and testing for me!

Because I don't care to be three nights without sleeping and testing, searching all over internet and drinking tons of coffee, I eventually got it working by installing CWM recovery, which has ADB, and then enable the adb debugging in the system.:good::highfive:

If you are not HTCDEV unlocked, first do it!

You will need ADB and Fastboot: http://rubenalamina.mx/custom-installers/downloads

Also the download the drivers: http://d-h.st/RvD

Install everything.

Get CWM Recovery after that: www.mediafire.com/download/4ogtlxxxl5dth24/PG58IMG-cwm-6.0.0.3-pyramid.zip

Extract recovery.img.

Then start the phone in bootloader and select fastboot, connect to PC. Wait for it to be recognized.

Then do:

After that reboot again into bootloader and select RECOVERY. Now you will be in CWM and get a nice ADB to start working!

Now I did this:

Now the phone should be starting OK from 100% clean and tested rom. Let's carry on:

IMPORTANT: To change the filesystem through CWM's adb, you must always do the "mount-a" command first after a fresh boot!

Done! Reboot and you'll can FAP when you see the ADB working:laugh::laugh:

If the sqlite3 command shows error (command not found) then your phone doesn't have sqlite3 installed.

Still, you can do it!

First extract settings.db:

Copy that file to a usb drive or whatever.

Now you need linux. It's ok to use a live Ubuntu DVD, but you need to be connected to internet.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

I recommend to use the 32bit version for compatibility.

Usually sqlite3 is not installed by default.

In ubuntu:

You will be asked for the root password!

Now we can edit the settings.db:

Now we have the settings.db changed and ready!

Copy that settings.db again to a pen drive or whatever, go back to windows or keep in linux if you already have a working ADB.

Done! ADB should work when in starts.

I had to use "mass_storage,adb" because "mtp,adb" or just "adb" didn't work. Thought, the phone was not working in mass storage, but who cares! ADB was!:D

Now The rest is well documented, Start Controlbear, do the jumper trick...etc.

Thought it was hard to get exactly the needed timing of the wire trick to sucess!

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Does it still backup successfully? it does sometimes give mesages it couldnt open a log but that irrelevent if it backed up correctly.

Its just if you dont backup and something goes wrong, you have to follow the debranding/reinstalling tutorial.

Jerry - What do you mean you lost receovery, when you try and boot into it what do you get black screen (this could be stock recovery) which rom were u installing, a stock one or custom?
[HTC Sensation] dennis_co01:
I think it did made a backup because there is a new folder if i choose restore option.

i have not seen CWM completed the backup though.

Sorry for this being a noob question (in fact, it might be useful to put the answer on the first page):

How do I get the revolutionary tool to see my Sensation? I know there's other ways to see the hboot version, but I'm curious to know how to get the tool to see the device. Should simply plugging it into the computer be sufficient, or do I need HTC Sync or ADB shell installed?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Its ok, noobish questions welcome. Install all the drivers, and then plug it in, select sync. and dont S off or anything, just run the tool.

so make sure htc sync, droid explorer, and anything else for your sensation are uninstalled. Install the necessary drivers, run the tool while connected in sync mode,

revolutionary is so clever it will find you itself:cool:;)
