Dont know if this is the right place or not but just got my sensation today S-OFF'd ok custom recovery ok root'd ok but when i try to download something from the market i get download was unsuccessful. what did i do wrong??

EDIT: its ok i just had to reboot my phone
[HTC Sensation] Tarun Chaudhary:
I don't know if this has already been covered because the search function isn't working.. Please help me out with this..

I'm trying to root my htc sensation using revolutionary method.. but while it attempts to root, it gives an error "failed to get root"

hboot version is - 1.18.0000
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Did you achieve soff? if so then you may have got root also. Many of us got root even after revolutionary said " failed to root" just try to use some root app.
[HTC Sensation] Tarun Chaudhary:
No I didn't get anything... I booted into the bootloader... It was still s-on and locked..
[HTC Sensation] Sedariya11:
same here, lot of people said i need to downgrade my firmware as OTA is preventing revolutionary to work properly but no proper guide of how to downgrade. If anybody can help pl help. Tried everything HTC sync unistalled, HTCDriver3.0.0.007 installed, etc tried everything with no help..
[HTC Sensation] Tarun Chaudhary:
Did you try downgrading it using an official RUU ? I'm currently downloading it. I'll try that...

Would you like to upload a mirror for "real_stock_root" ROM used by su-27 mentioned in that guide?cz I can not download load that android2.3.3 ROM from the dropbox or multiupload...

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
So before achieving root you must achieve soff . If you fail to achieve soff using revolutionary then you have to downgrade the ruu.

Solutions for problems with rooting

Just tried rooting my third XE and I was hoping that it will all go smoothly as before, but...

I tried flashing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip after S-OFF and got the usual

(status 0)

Installation Aborted

error. So I tried many times as usual but when nothing happened by the 8th try, I was getting worried. I was already seeing bricked sensation in my imagination. I then also tried all the troubleshooting tips from the second post, with flashing the 2.3.6.1 verson first, but till nothing. Then I taught, maybe its the clockworkmod.. I opened up alpharevx and it said that I am already S-Off and asked what was I thinking of doing. And after that again the dialog, to download and install clockwork mod. I installed it second time by pressing Yes. Then I opened recovery and flashed successfully the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip on third try. I hope this helps someone.

Just for the record, the Software number was 1.73.401.4
[HTC Sensation] buttsbuttsbutts:
I'm having trouble with Step 2.

The file refrenced in the guide is no longer available.

I went out to http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

I renamed this file PG58IMG.zip and rebooted into recovery and then ... nothing happens?

Hi,

That ROM requires new firmware in order to work.

Check the [op] for a link to more information.

You will find the firmware link in there.

try uninstall htc sync , also uninstall htc new drivers , and

install old htc drivers 3.0.0.7

in revolutionary Page

disable AV and firewalls , remove conflicting software from PC ( like vcast , ...etc ) and device ( better do master reset for your phone before revolutionary - enable usb debugging again in setting \ app \ development , disable fast boot in setting \ power ) , clear your temp and browser temp or use another browser

if

you used htc dev and the bootloader is unlocked , then lock bootloader before revolutionary , command to lock fastboot oem lock

start revolutionary

as admin

if the above didn't solve your problem ,and if your software version is new or you received an OTA GB then try downgrade (

most probably it is not the case

, because in the photo it shows Android 2.3.3 )

for downgrade if needed (

most probably it is not the case )

I am on TMOUSA. I am assuming that I should download the TMobile 3.32 unlocked firmware. If that is the case, then I have tried to load that many times. Then went to install Virtuous Inquisition with no luck. Thanks for the info. Can you suggest anything else please/

[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
every thing is OK , you are S-OFF Now , and hboot 1.17.1111 is the custom Patched revolutionary hboot

when you are S-OFF and you try using Revolutionary again , it will give you error ( like saying your device is not supported or so .. )

you can post your bootloader information in the above Post again , and i take a look at them and reply to you in this post again if you were worried , But really you don't need to

also you can connect to revolutionary again and repeat the process until it asks you about installing recovery to make sure 100%

now complete guide steps for recovery and SU , ....etc

Please i have a two question. First one is from post 3845 and the second is below:

I have rooted, S-off my sensation xe, instaled new firmware for ARHD 6.5.1 XE but i am not super cid. Do i need to use this method superciding if i wont to get S-on??? I read somewhere that if i change my cid number i can not update my GB rom to ICS rom when i go back to original and S-on.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
According to OP of this thread in step 5 ( get S-ON ) that you have to super cid if you are not

But in this thread also , one member Posted that he added a step which is not in step 5in this Guide and it worked for him , so he posted it for anyone interested

he did the steps as usual ( Super cid , Flashed RUU ,.. and

just before

writing the S-ON command ( fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 ) ,

he changed his cid to his original Cid

, then executed the S-ON command , and worked fine with him

I'm trying for couple of hours to unlock (S-off) my Sensation, but i got stuck on screen Zerging ROOT... I have 2.3.4 Android and 1.18 bootloader. I started Revolutionary as ADMIN, he recognized my phone and then nothing. What to do?

Thnx in advance

I´m trying to restore my cid, now it is supercid:111111111

I have to send it back to HTC for a repair and then I need the official CID for my country (thought HTC__001) to flash ruu's over the air.

If i try to write it back (same method to write supercid) it doesn't works.... could someone help me with it?
[HTC Sensation] rambo8987:
Ok but now when I enter beta key, the 1.17.1111 hboot isn't an option, so which one would I pick?

Dont upgrade to ICS RUU. Once you do that there is no method to S-OFF with HBOOT 1.27 and ICE till date. So what I would suggest that to retry S-OFF with revolutionary tool.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
If you are on 1.17.1111 you should be s-off already. What shows on the bootloader screen?
[HTC Sensation] nkojic:
i would like to know the same thing. How to write the original cid and when? Before command for S-on, after fleshing the original rom or at the end of command for S-on?
[HTC Sensation] srdjanLeo:
Well I was trying all night. And even I left it working while I was sleeping, but nothing.

It just stops with Zerging root... this might take minut so. every time :S

What I did wrong? I have 3.0.0.7 drivers and unlocked bootloader and was trying to do it as admin
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
trying again to S-OFF... still not yet s-off.. over 2 months use of my phone not root..
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
As you are on the 2.3.4 based rom, I believe you first need to downgrade to an earlier version which then allows Revolutionary to work. Read more about it here

Some more details may help. What rom version, what hboot version, what error messages do you get etc etc etc.

Can't flash radio

Hello all,

Having flashed the very good and stable ROM Android Revolution HD™ 6.5.1. I wanted to flash the recommended radio (11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M) but my Sensation refuse to flash it. I looked into this thread and related but found nothing regarding what I understand of my problem.

To flash the ROM, I followed the instructions and here what I got :

C:\Users\Eric\Documents HTC\Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M>fastboot flash radio radio.img

sending 'radio' (22201 KB)... OKAY [ 4.097s]

writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 4.415s

I notice that my phone seems to be locked in some way as I have the following on the fastboot screen :

*** LOCKED ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.23.0000

RADIO-11.19.3504.29.2

OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227

eMMC-boot

....

I believe I have a super CID as I have the following :

C:\Users\Eric\Documents\HTC\Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M>fastboot getvar cid

cid: 11111111

Can someone point out to me the relevant post where I can find information or give me any help ?

Thanks,

Eric
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you have 6.5.1 installed,you must have installed the 3.32 firmware.

The firmware does in fact include the latest radio,so there is nothing else to do.

Go to Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version.

You will see the radio you have.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Riqueto:
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the radio version I see there is 11.65.3504U_11.19.3504.29_2 However Mike recommend the 1.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07M. I guess that he included this radio into his rom indeed but it is not the on I have here (and why I what to flash the radio).

And I don't see what I missed in unlocking my phone...
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What version of the firmware did you flash?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Riqueto:
I flashed the 3.32

Hi, I'm also on 2.3.4 (untouched, stock) and Revolution always fails to S-off. The linked solution instructs to install a "Stock Rooted Rom Android 2.3.3" and the thing is I can't seem to find one.

Hi,

How is your reception/wifi/etc.?

If it's OK,don't worry about it.

The best radio is the one that works.

Mike says "RECOMMENDED",but at the end of the day,it's whatever suits you.

[HTC Sensation] phantomblu:
I've done all the steps before. I flashed back to a stock ROM so do I need to repeat the steps? I tried to anyway, but I'm on hboot 1.27 and not sure how to continue.
[HTC Sensation] Riqueto:
Hi,

Reception is Ok. I didn't notice any changes from GB. And I completely agree with you : The good radio is the one that works !

What troubles me is that I cannot change it If I need it eventually ... I'll keep rooting forums to see if others have got the same trouble and have been able to get around it.

My handset is XE with 2.3.3 and 1.18 hboot.

what will happen if i flashed another stock rom other than the one that my phone came with and wanted to s-on to get ICS upgrade !?

untill and unless you are superCID , you can not flash another STOCK RUU.

You can flash the OTA without being S-ON if somebody else download it and give it to you.

Well the problem is that i have sensation xe Hong Kong version and been looking for Arabic official rom for ages and finally found it in some Chinese forum today .so the point is that i want to install this official Arabic and get the official ICS upgrade coz it was really difficult to find this rom and don't like waiting .my XE already s-off and superCID so i wonder if can make s-on after i install this Official Arabic so i will get the official Arabic ICS .

and your help is appreciated
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Actually to do so, fist you have to change the CID into some official arabic career . I dont know that coz I dont live in any arabic country. Ha ha. (lol). After that you should flash an RUU specific to that career . Then S-ON. But the S-ON thing is not good. Once you are S-ON and updated to ICS , then you will stuck with that. Revolutionary does not support HBOOT higher than 1.18 as of now. ICS will come with HBOOT 1.27 .

here is an Arabic cid from someone bought the phone from Dubai , cid is HTC__J15 , go here to choose the suitable RUU Shipped Roms ( this is an example arabic Ruu RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.0 0U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197242_signed.exe

you don't do S-ON , you stay S-OFF

and then do one of the following to have arabic and completely remove Chinese Rom :

install Custom Rom from the forum , then add Arabic Support (

I prefer this solution for you , no complications

)

debrand , use the European English GB RUU , then add Arabic Support

Brand your phone ( to Arabic region ) by flashing Arabic GB RUU

if you prefer RUU's , In All cases don't install ICS RUU's stay on GB ( Ginger bread ) RUU's , until it is proven that other members could flash mike Firmware or downgrade sucessfully from the official ICS RUU

to brand your phone ( install the RUU for arabic region ) and install OTA updates , go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193033

to Add arabic Support to Custom Roms or RUU :

this will add Arabic support and fix the problem of broken Arabic letters

go here to create your own Arabic Patch for any custom Rom you use very easy steps ( if you could not do it ,PM me and i 'll prepare it for you )

( for how to do it Yourself )

http://blog.devasque.com/ and http://blog.devasque.com/how-to-apply-patch/ for how to do it yourself

or use APK in the market More Locale 2 , it will give you complete Arabic Support ( it only has one bug when opening contact groups , and maybe it is fixed now )
