Perfect Guide Man!

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my SuperCID to change as my phone is not found when in fast-boot USB mode.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
Rebooting to the bootloader through ADB is probably best initially because then you know there are no driver or other issues with the USB connection to your phone. I would make sure USB debugging is enabled, make sure HTC sync is not running on your PC, connect the phone to your PC in charge only mode, type 'adb devices' to make sure your PC can see your phone, type 'adb reboot-bootloader', wait for your phone to show the white screen with 'FASTBOOT USB' in red, then type 'fastboot devices' to make sure your PC can the see the phone in fastboot mode.
[HTC Sensation] misiek_to_ja:
Hi guys,

Does anyone of you own Sensation from T-Mobile Poland or Germany ? Is S-OFF working for these phones ? I'm thinking about getting the phone for subscription plan and need to be 100% sure S-OFF will work :)

[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Is the latest recovery picking up charge if the phone runs out completely and switches off??
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I tried to install but it gave error in installation :confused: :confused:

What does it do anyway? I am a bit vary of flashing just about anything on the phone... i dont think its a theme.. can you ellaborate so I am more comfortable in flashing it..
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Or simply disconnect your phone once your are in fastboot and reconnect it. Seems to be neccessary in ~30% of my tests.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
It just says invalid package.. maybe a bad download... will try again...

On the Alpha recovery.. do you know if it picks up charge on a dead phone?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Could be a bad download I'll re upload

. I don't know about if the battery goes flat. Not tried it.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:

this one definitely works, try downloading from a different server from last time, it should be ok, its only 50mb, it doesnt overwrite your rom, but just rosie and framework, volume bar icons etc.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Downloading now...

Similar to the blue theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194963)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
yes it is actually

i didn't notice alex had his up there already, i did get my original inspiration from him in the DHD forum'
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
have u tried removing and reinserting the battery?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Lol... I am not a big theme fan.. i like stock.. so I am not the best person to judge :)
[HTC Sensation] ggrant3876:
In have typed the beta key in carefully 6 or 8 times on 2 different windows computers. On both computers each and every time it comes back invail beta key, press any key. This is whatn I'm entering - IAusONpt2mW82SKq. Have tried to copy and paste and trhat doesn't work. It recognizes the phone with the proper H-boot.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Try that "I" as "l" (small L)

Also "O" as 0 (Zero)
[HTC Sensation] scooby238:
Yes i did remove and reinsert the battery....still nothing.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Insert the battery and put it on charge for about 15 or so mins ... then attempt to switch it on..

That was it thanks.

hi i did all your steps from day 1 i am s-off and rooted, i use root checker everthing is ok. but i notice that when fixing permissions with rom manager it only fixes two permissions normally you see it fixing everything not now, and also i notice that android commander lets me see all my files but when i try to delete or copy to the phone android commander says i dont have root and i do. i did the adb root in command prompt it also gives error about cant access root in production models please help i fix permissions with cwm still the same when i run easy fre3vo it works now android commander lets me do what ever. adb cmd now says that im already running adb root but when i reboot it stop working again but all the changes stick so it must be the way i perm root with the method from op
[HTC Sensation] scooby238:
Help

After trying this I still have the same issue
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
You must mount the system thru one of the file explorers.. it works then.. I had a similar problem..

I feel for you man.. I am out of suggestions :( Get someone's evo or sensation battery to boot up your phone... flash stock recovery and charge your battery.. and then be careful not to run it so low..
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
That doesn't matter. As long as I leave it on the charger overnight, I'll get a full charge.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
True... thats what I meant.. it charges... just remains orange even on full charge.. i did write to Koush.. but I can imagine the amount of emails he may get in a day..
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Download ES explorer from the market and in the setting tick root access and mount system.. see if it works after that
[HTC Sensation] scooby238:
Ok thanks for the help reguardless......the evo has the same battery as the sensation?
[HTC Sensation] jcnyc:
Is there a decent video for this whole process? GF has been complaining nonstop about bad battery life and severe overheating on this phone so want to root it for her but don't want to noob it.

[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Lol yeah really. I vaguely remember someone fixed the cwm recovery for glacier by coping some files from the stock recovery that allowed it to power off and charge properly. If I had a clue what I was doing I would try this myself for sensation.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
nope i just tried it dont work i also tried with root explorer.like i said when i run easyfre3vo .batch it works but after reboot it goes back to not working but all my changes stay the same maybe its because when i s-off /rooted i did not factory reset before hand and i already had did the easyfre3vo
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Well the temproot was causing some problems...

never too late.. do a full wipe now and attempt superuser.. should fix it..
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
yeah thats what im afraid im going to have to do i cant even restore a full backup because the easyfre3vo files will still be there, if i restore just data in cwm will that be all my apps if so then i will full wipe if not i will wait for awhile to see if i can deal with constantly running easyfre3vo its only when i want to use android commander or running cmd adb root i can copy and delete things with out running easyfre3vo in root explorer with no problem

Hi

I installed version 4.0.1.5 ClockworkMod A few days ago

Then i downloaded the new ClockworkMod v4.0.1.4 UPDATED 03-AUG-11 - CHARGING ISSUES FIXED and copied to the SD card, but the update did not work automatically when they are in bootloader. Especially when I press "volume up" I do not read "Do you want to start the update"
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
1 - Please donot post the whole post.. esp if it is so big... waste of screen space..

2 - Rename the file to PG58IMG.zip and place it in the root folder of SD card (root folder is the first view when u open the sd card...

Now go into bootloader.. turn off your phone and when its off press vol down and power.. the white bootloader will appear... and it should recognise the update.. press vol up to accept (i think) read the instructions..
[HTC Sensation] aramis73:
Thanks prateekgujral and sorry for the big post

Correct what you said ... but that's what I'm trying since yesterday. The problem is the bootloader doesn't recognise the update. (PG58IMG.zip in in the root folder of SD card)
[HTC Sensation] aioracle:
Thank you...

Finally my device is rooted...
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Then extract the ,img from there and use adb to push it...
[HTC Sensation] aramis73:
Thanks prateekgujral

I was wrong to rename the file. Everything Perfect!

Thank you very much for your time!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Dude... seriously!!! LOL.. glad it worked!!

thank you very much. got S-OFF in about 30 minutes after all the dl and reading. dl some new roms now =)

I try to go back to Stock since I found some dust under the screen. Now flashing RUU and the process has been stuck at "Reboot to bootloader" for quite some time now. I think the "Fast boot" might have left ticked so can I just abort the RUU still?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
if it hasnt started the flashing or the formatting.. then you can abort it..

UPDATE: NEW ALPHAREV clockwork Recovery 4.1.0.4- Charging WORKING IN RECOVERY. CHARGI

Hi!

Read this just now: UPDATE: NEW ALPHAREV clockwork Recovery 4.1.0.4- Charging WORKING IN RECOVERY. CHARGING ISSUES FIXED LEDs WORKING Clockwork 4.0.1.5 has issues. Follow Step 2 below to download and install. you do not need to follow the rest of the steps if you are just updating CWM

How can i tell MY version? I think i downloaded yesterday or today, when did you update this?

Rooted my device today and i must say, wow how easy and simple it was. Everything went according to the guide. No problem what so ever.

Thanks for you work on this guide!!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Both recoveries are fine... its only if you are one of those who discharges his phone to 0 and then charges it off... this was update this morning.. i think...
[HTC Sensation] ppcfans:
I have made my HTC Sensation s-off sucessfully using this tools.

However, I use same steps and same tools to make s-off for my HTC Flyer (my hboot is 1.10.0000) , I got FAILED message when my device was being rebooted in second times to fastboot.

The error message was "FAILED - Go have some lemonade!". What's wrong??

Could anyone help me for this ? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Probably not compatible with the Flyer!
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
I had same problem when trying to Hboot Bootloader and volume up to auto load new CWM. The issue was simple oversight. You need to rename the folder to a .IMG not .zip before loading to your SD card for it to auto update upon start of bootloader.

So this is another new version of the old 1.4 if I am correct? I had loaded the one from Aug 2nd. the first updated one.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ppcfans:
Thank for you reply. But when I obtained the beta key on the website, it really had an option for HTC Flyer.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
oh.. my bad.. must be some technical issue then..
[HTC Sensation] ppcfans:
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

Got the RUU through, changed CID back, have Hboot 1.17.0011, a bit worried about the "writesecureflag 3" to turn this into a S-ON device again for warranty :/
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
Help!

I managed to root my phone, but I'm stuck on writing Super Cid. Now when I try to connect to my PC via USB, it gives me a "USB Device Not Recognized" error. It was reading it just fine before I did the perm root. I even tried to write it manually in bootloader/hboot mode, but the cmd prompt just says "waiting for device" and doesn't do anything.

Did I miss something?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Try this...

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 oem writecid 11111111"
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
How long should the command prompt be saying "waiting for device" for? It doesn't do anything.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Should be instant.. I am having a feeling that your drivers are not properly installed...

Possibly you should try re installing the HTC drivers..

Do this.. connect your phone with the pc on sync mode... and on the cmd prompt where the adb is.. type adb devices.. does this show your phone's serial?
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
That's the problem though. When I connect my phone to my PC, it's supposed to ask me right away if I want to sync for storage or battery, but it doesn't even do that. My computer just gives me the error I posted earlier.

When I typed in the adb devices in the cmd prompt a few times, it either said the device was offline, or nothing would come up at all.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
on your phone...go to settings>connect to pc > and check ask me option if it isnt checked...
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
It is checked. :/
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Disconnect your phone..

go to application - development - and make sure that USB debugging is checked. if not check it and try..

Still no?

Hmmm... just reboot your phone into recovery.. wipe cache partition.. and go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.. reboot the phone completely... will take longer than the normal boot.. now try the process..
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
I figured it out! My computer was being stupid and I had to restart it. Now that it's back up I can continue on from where I left off. So far the Super Cid wipe is going well. I'll report back once I'm done.

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Cool... and just in time.. I was falling asleep... past midnight here.. good luck man!!
[HTC Sensation] mr.mandevil:
Well that was fast! Super Cid complete! :)
[HTC Sensation] olde_shrimp:
When i tried to install the htc drivers that you supplied my computer blue screened and shut down... Now im stuck on "waiting for device". I tried to reinstall the drivers but got nothing.

This would seem to be rather poor version control ....

Wasn't the original Revolutionary CWM v4.1.0.4 when they released the S-Off tool? Then we have the official CWM v4.1.05 and now another v4.1.0.4? Is there a way to tell the two v4.1.04 versions apart other than knowing when one downloaded it?

Please can you confirm that the latest v4.1.0.4 is still the better one (and not v4.1.05) to use. Thank you.

everything seems great, except the fact that I have no data connectivity. if I am not connected to wifi, I loose the ability to use my phone for what I need it for. can anyone help?? please??

Post your beta key. Maybe you're doing 1 number/letter wrong?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
iv also tried 3 serial numbers now from my buddys phone that worked for him......
[HTC Sensation] :
You need your serial number....
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
exactly, if it doesnt work, click the top of the command prompt, then edit and paste, it will work

If you use someone else's serial number, it definitely will not work

copy and paste your beta key here, we will help you
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
9SfVlM1OzrgDzKdn
[HTC Sensation] :
You typed that or copied it and pasted here from the site? Copy and paste from the site would be best.

Anyways, did you type it in all capitals and lowercase like it is above in the cmd? 5th letter is a lower case L.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
number 9

capital S

lowercase f

capital V

lowercase l (lowercase L)

capital M

number 1

Capital O

lowercase z

lowercase r

lowercase g

capital D

lowercase z

capital K

lowercase d

lowercase n

that should be a more simpler way of putting it
[HTC Sensation] fredrick90005:
YAy..Im tmo...im now S-Off and intalled CWM....Thankss

EDIT: Now im rooted and has SUPERCID....thank you...

Now what?..HAHAHA...lol
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
OK, so had some time to test last night. S-ON works fine with Asian 707 ROM. This is basically what I did (I didn't pull the battery at any stage and didn't test step 3 - rewriting the CID but it's something to be aware of):

1. Run the latest released RUU for your device (must match your original region code, eg. x.xx.707.x)

2. Boot into fastboot mode (manually or using 'adb reboot-bootloader').

3. If you are returning for warranty and you have SuperCID, you might want to rewrite your original CID now. You won't be able to change it when you are S-ON and it's evidence that you had S-OFF. So enter the command:

fastboot oem writecid <original cid>

4. To S-ON, enter the command: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

5. Reboot into bootloader using the command: fastboot reboot-bootloader

6. If the bootloader reads 'Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL' and there's no security warning, you are good to go. Reboot your phone using the onscreen menu or with the command: fastboot reboot

7. If there is a security warning, re-run the RUU.

Tested the blue-text CWM. Definitely charges when phone is truly off (not hibernating) and orange LED lights up. Didn't test when charge was at 0% or charge to 100% to see if the LED turns green. Flashed it using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' because that's my preferred method and the PG58IMG.zip method can be a bit hit and miss with my sdcard. I'll have a look at the simunlock commands today.
[HTC Sensation] :
And what happens if you never touched the cid to start with? Do you just overwrite the ruu?

EDIT: Never mind. I see step 4.
[HTC Sensation] GTIChris04:
TMOUS Sensation. Guide worked great. Thanks!!! Much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] daewond3r:
When I try to run revolutionary via terminal, it says "cannot execute binary file" and quits.

Any thoughts?

Edit: Nevermind. Found the right search term to get me an answer. Guess I'll have to wait for a Mac root method.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
The important thing is that you run the RUU just before you go S-ON. If any of the partitions are different to stock, you'll get a security warning and will be semi-bricked (unable to boot until you successfully flash a RUU).
[HTC Sensation] PsychoPops:
This guide worked perfect on my new Sensation US T-Mobile. Thank you very much!
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Just a small question...

So I had some difficulties installing a custom ROM... As I was in a hurry and needed my phone, I used the CW to restore a backup to the original rom...

This is the backup I had made when following Step 3, point 4...

Now everything is just fine and all is working.

However when I checked with the App Root Checker is I still have rights to the root and it wasn't... :confused: :confused:

Is this common or did I do something wrong from the very beginning???

I mean I know I had S-OFF and access to the root as I installed 3 custom roms...

So now I'm just wondering how this is possible! ;)
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Never mind... I think I already found my answer.... ;)

At the time when I backup everything I had only temp access to root... So I still have to perform the rest of step 3.. Right? :)
[HTC Sensation] Beck:
I am having problem with the latest cwm rom that is recommended in post #1. my HTC Sensation battery is totally flat and now I am unable to charge the phone!! The LED light flashes a few times follow by 3 long flashes and everything just turned off. TS maybe you can take a look into the matter?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Righto!!!!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Dude.. seriously.. how can you play with such a beautiful phone without reading some imp things..

1.. Dont let teh battery run out (it has been discussed manytimes

2.. When did you flash the recovery, as yesterday OP re-uploaded the recovery that claims to pick up a dead phone.. IMHO.. it DOESNT!!

3.. Now you have a dead phone.. still better than having a working iphone :D LOL

4. Your solutions:

a. Plug it in to wall charger and leave it for 15-20 mins.. now attempt to boot

b. Plug it to the pc via USB and leave it for 15-20 mins.. now attempt to boot

c. Try getting hold of another battery (EVO 3D battery works)

d. Buy a new battery.

5. Who is "TS"?
[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
Well, I just tried it. Deleted all my backup folders in the clockworkmod folder. Then did a new backup. Then I double checked in the cwm folder, and sure enough, there was one new backup folder in there with all the files including the md5 and everything.

So I flashed to 1.1.5 and it started up and it restored my old applications from my very first backup... So I lost all my new apps... What happened?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I have never trusted backing up and restoring.. something always messes up..
[HTC Sensation] alhuang69:
Thank you very much.... it is working very well.
[HTC Sensation] Beck:
I have tried all methods but to no avail. Am giving up. going to order Anker or Chichitec battery with wall mount charger for the sake of it. :( guess this is a hint from god that I need to get a higher capacity battery for my phone.

Oh. I am from Singapore and in our forum we use "TS" to refer as thread starter.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
The latest CWM from page 1 works PERFECTLY with a totally dead battery. To test I did the following,

I was returning this Sensation to Costco as It had dust issue under glass. Knowing Coscto *where I am a manager) has 90 day no questions return policy I did this test with no fear.

I turned power saver off. Ran battery all the way down to where phone shut itself off. This is at 1 percent left as shown by my batt apk. It seems the stock ROM and or Recovery only lets it get to 1percent. So I kept turning phone back on till it would not power on anylonger. Tested battery with volt meter and it was almost flat dead.

Then I plugged in wall charger and phone LED turned orange and phone charged to green. Then I repeated in recovery mode till dead. Again plugged in wall charger and it charged to green icon.

So I suspect possibly the poster may have not actually loaded the Aug 3 1.4 re update.

Its does charge from completly dead! No issues.

I DO NOT RUN CUSTOM ROM! I only am currently using S off and Root with latest Aug 3rd CWM.
[HTC Sensation] Beck:
then this is quite weird because my recovery mod is in orange color and orange text. what could be the reason that my phone is unable to start charging.
