What hboot version do you have?
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
.0008

.
[HTC Sensation] LManer311:
I d/led Revolutionary the other day and went back to install it today and I was also getting the invalid key error. Turns out they updated Revolutionary so I re-d/led it and got my beta key working on the first try. Which version of Revolutionary are you using?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Ok, I just reran everything and I also get the same beta key as you - POpV07gyZmIFZ90a.

Are you running the latest version (0.4pre3)? I attach the earlier version 0.3pre7 which was the one that fixed the issues with 1.17.0008. Perhaps try this one and to be safe turn off your anti-virus while downloading.
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
Thanks. I get invalid key with 0.3pre7

the 0.4pre3 won't even run at all....it just closes upon trying to execute the file.

I see in the poll that this didn't work for more than 100 people so maybe I'm just one of the unlucky ones?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Ok, I just looked at your post again and I see that you are running 0.3pre7 which is the old version. You need to download the latest version 0.4pre3.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Did you turn off your antivirus when downloading? Many of those 100 or so people that said no initially eventually got it working. When you run the app also try right clicking and running as Administrator.
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
The latest version won't even run on my computer. It shuts itself down immediately.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Yes I read where you said that, but did you download it with your AV turned off. Perhaps the AV is corrupting the download and that's why it doesn't run. Also when trying to run it, run it as Administrator.

When I download the latest version I get the following MD5 hash - check that yours is the same - CADAFCA33845B147BBA586D8C3FC3FEA
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
No dice. AV turned off, run as administrator and still nothing. It still refuses to run. I may try a different computer.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
And MD5 hash the same? I've just run the one I downloaded on this side and it runs correctly. Inside the zip is the exe file and 5 .dll files
[HTC Sensation] jlczl:
I don't know what MD5 is but yeah, my download has the revolutionary.exe file in it and 5 dll's.

Thanks for the help but I quit. It's just not worth it.........my Sensation is plenty fast. I just thought it would be easier than this.

Thanks again. Off to enjoy my Sensation as is.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
MD5 hash is just a check to see that the file downloaded is the same as the source. There are many apps that allow you to check this like Fastsum for example.

I really don't know why you are struggling like this as it really is simple, normally that is.

I hope you will give it a try again, but perhaps give it a break ;)

I was wondering, when extracting the new version did you extract it to a completely new folder and not to the same place as the older version?
[HTC Sensation] D4rk0:
YESSSSSSSSS i have SOFF on HBOOT 1.18.000 ^_^

Revolutionary have updated the tool ;)
[HTC Sensation] juaninamillion:
Where did you get it. The revolutionary page isn't coming up for me.
[HTC Sensation] phil0sophic:
WTF I had a choice between a MT4G and a sensation last month took the MT4G as it was fr on wirefly smaller screen single cpu yadda yadda , but no gamer me am as happy as can be. Rooted and no lag woo hoo saved 130.00 and still 4G. Doom its not an option soon sensation will live up to its namesake.
[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
It does not ask me if I want to update... What do I do?
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
The file must be called exactly PG58IMG.zip

The file must be in the root of your sdcard

The file must not be corrupt (check md5sum if in doubt)

You must have fast boot turned off in Settings->Power or do a battery pull and boot straight into the bootloader if in doubt
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yes and if it still doesn't work. Follow step 4 but don't flash the cid. Put the recovery.img file inside the pg58img zip in your adb folder and type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
I tried installing the zip files but they said installation aborted in clockwork mod . What could I do next sorry I am a nooob at this thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
Hello everyone i have a huge problem with my htc sensation. i rooted my phone using the alpha rev tool but wanted to go back to the stock RUU to try sometihing. now i am wanting to RE ROOT the phone again using the rev tool or whar ever tool i can use. i have tried everything from re rooting with rev tool it did not work. flashing the zip files did not work. flashing clockwork mod and it did not work. the phone says S-OFF but when i go to check if it is rooted with the root checker app it says i am not. so i am down to you all can someone please help me thank you so much. i have the fresh stock ruu on the phone and my HBOT is 1.17.0008 if that helps any of you all. Can some one please help me
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
You are already S-OFF, so you don't have to do the revolutionary thingy again. Just follow step 2 and step 3 to flash cwm and root
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
You probably need to re-flash the Revolutionary HBOOT if that's what you used to achieve S-OFF in the first place
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
Try running command prompt as administrator, and then CD'ing to the S-OFF tool directory.

In windows vista/7

-Start

-Type 'cmd'

-Right click on 'cmd' when it comes up

-Run as administrator

-Type the command 'CD [Directory of s-off tool location]'

-Type the name of the main executable e.g. 'Revolutionary.exe' then press Enter

Hopefully that will run it as admin without closing it, I sometimes have batch programs close on me but if I execute them from command prompt they stay open.

If you still cannot get it to work, you can try the official HTC Bootloader Unlock tool which has been released:

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
[HTC Sensation] vinnyjr:
Running the updated 4.0.1.4 recovery and everything is working great. My question is about rom manager. Why does rom manager continue to push the 4.0.1.5 recovery even when it still has charging issues. I have the paid version of rom manager and there are parts of this app that you can not use without their recovery downloaded. Has the rom manager recovery been updated or does it still have the same problems?? Thanks for any imfo on this issue. Getting ready to flash a rom and just reading up on a few.

Thanks for making this process very easy.

Vinny
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Try the new htc bootloader unlock
[HTC Sensation] hytl:
Hi guys, I just got a used Tmous htc sensation and I believe that it has been rooted and S-OFF. But how do I check if it has SuperCID. I'm very confused by this. Do I need SuperCID to freely flash to any ROMs? Do I need to do the SuperCID step everytime I try to flash to a custom ROM? My sensation just randomly rebooted by itself and the phone seems to be very warm comparing to my iphone 4. I'm sorry if these questions has been answered. Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
So after doing all this to s-off and root my phone, i installed this rom, now after a brief white/green htc screen, it keeps showing me the same wierd screen over and over and over.

I know its been said to wait a long time, but i waited over 30min... that shoudnt be normal right?

Anything i can do that makes the rom work? And is this a problem with the rom being installed with clockwork or a problem with the rom itself?
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Sounds like you are stuck in a bootloop. Boot into recovery, do a FULL wipe, then re-flash the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] oakland73rd:
So when I boot into Hboot it says S-off does that mean I am rooted ? Because when I was on step 3 I kept getting the error message root checker says I'm not rooted so am I rooted or not ?
[HTC Sensation] ransome7:
no image wrong image

bad sd card caused all my troubles
[HTC Sensation] Ahanix:
I Re S-On'd my phone yesterday so I could explain to my brother how to do it. Now I can't get back to S-OFF. I keep getting the following

Waiting For Fastboot....

Rebooting to Fastboot (Again)

Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again

I've re flashed the RUU, tried another computer, re-downloaded alpharev 4 billion times and can't get it to work
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
go back to basics... fastboot off? usb debugging on?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
U r not rooted..
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
I don't want to flash a custom rom right now. This WiFi error sucks.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Can someone please tel me exactly what stage did they lose wifi?

Was it flashing unsecured boot?

WIFI FIX. TRIED IT MYSELF FLASHING THE UNSECURED BOOT AND THEN THIS ONE.

POST 2 contains link

1. obtain file from HERE:

2. Copy PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card

3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into Bootloader/HBOOT screen(See how to get Hboot post above)

4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"

5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android (normal screen with homescreen)

6. Remove PG58IMG from your memory card and YOU can now root below or install custom roms usin CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
yes. i tried to get root and it failed so i attempted to flash unsecure boot image and upon restart i have WiFi error when using stock rom. with custom rom it is ok.
[HTC Sensation] Xx12thANG3LxX:
want to do this. kinda freakin about giving out my serial number tho
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Thanks will do.
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
standby. i have to restore my stock rom.

Does this still include root?
[HTC Sensation] pertsix:
Careful with the boot image -- that image is stock for european sensations!
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
The one he just posted above is for european?
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
Don't worry, if the development of previous android devices i've had is any indicator, them smart dev folks will release roms that are stock-rooted, with no other mods.
[HTC Sensation] pertsix:
Not sure, since I haven't tested it yet. I would assume so, since he has O2 and lives in the UK.

Unfortunately, HTC decided that the Sensation would be named the same thing around the world, so we'll be confused for a bit with custom roms.
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
get it from htc site....after intalling...uninstall HTC Sync
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
WAIT

dont install the stock rom yet.

I just installed the unsecured boot image that i had in post 2. and yes my WIFI WENT KAPLUT!!!!!

so i uploaded another boot image from a rooted rom and put it in. it is working now for me. can you please try this, i am thinking of removing post 2
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
I want to use my stock rom so I need something to keep me rooted on stock that doesn't break my wifi.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
No its not the European Stock Boot.

its one from a custom ROM, No idea which boot, its from Leedroids Rom
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
Where is the boot image you want me to flash? was it the one you posted before?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
can you flash this file from post 2

HERE:

and let me know if it fixes your wifi, its a different boot, not the official european one
[HTC Sensation] jdelforge5684:
I'll test it right now, reply in 5 mins...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Many thanks, reply back with what Sensation you have i.e. which country network and rom and whether your wifi error is now fixed
[HTC Sensation] nickerrides:
that boot image isnt working. im not able to boot up once i install it in bootloader (us tmobile sensation)
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
hmm not sure what i did but i restored by backup and my wifi is working now but i don't have root.
[HTC Sensation] veronesi.n:
maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to root sensatation obtaining s-off, install cwm, and Su and keep the stock rom?
[HTC Sensation] techenthusiast:
I installed ROM Manager to see what ROM i could download and it tells me i had to install CWM?

Is this normal or am i being a absolute idiot
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Ofcourse!!!
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
You will need to use a custom recovery, yes

ROM Manager uses the CWM recovery, so again for ROM Manager the answer is yes

However, there is an issue with CWM 4.0.1.5 (which is what ROM Manager will try to install)

So instead install 4.0.1.4 from OP, as directed in OP, for the timebeing
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
fastboot getvar cid

Pretty much yes

No, only once

This is normal, grab a CPU temperature app if you want to be extra sure nothing is wrong
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
S-OFF allows you to get root, it doesn't just give it automagically

To get root either:

a) Follow step 3 to get root on your current ROM

b) Get SuperCID and flash a ROM that is already rooted
[HTC Sensation] techenthusiast:
Im sorry if im not getting this, so i am running the custom (Blue text) 4.0.1.4 CWM but i also want to use ROM Manager is it possible?

As if i do it will upgrade to 4.0.1.5 and that has problems
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
do we know when the updated tool is going to be ready for hboot 1.18??

how sure can we that this current tool doesn't work with new hboot?

and what is the difference from the htc tool that unlocks bootloader?? i saw a link that it says that we can use it to unlock the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] feenty:
I've done with s-off, cwm recovery and root. super cid is not needed for me now.

Without super cid i can instal custom roms via cwm. its only needed for install any ruu on my pyramid.

am i right?
[HTC Sensation] frezd:
[Revolutionary 0.4pre3 Released]

Hi,

Do you know if the last : Revolutionary 0.4pre3Released has fixed the clockwork USB charging issue ?

Or do I have still have to take the "fixed one" provided in the 1st page of this thread ?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Cheers,
[HTC Sensation] feenty:
I've done with s-off an hour ago with cwm provided in the latest revolutionary and seems working fine the charging with turned off device.
[HTC Sensation] frezd:
Hi Feenty,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply

If anyone else can confirm that, that would be great.

Cheers,

Frezd
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
They all (RUU.exes) become showing 'the program not responding'. Why?

I have done superCID, and this is not SIM-locked phone(only Swisscom marks) and I purchased this by cash from Expansys.

I have S-OFF, Root etc. I guess that I have up to date drivers, but it stops responding..
[HTC Sensation] oakland73rd:
Alright I got it now iam now rooted **** yeah how can I remove the apps I don't need with out having to change to a rom like tmobile tv and navigation
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
anything here?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
The dev for Rom Manager and 4.0.1.5 is not the same as Revolutionary. The best way to find out is to contact him directly and ask if the issue has been resolved. Some people don't have problem apparently, so y uo can try to see if your phone does charge while switched off on 4.0.1.5, but the version in step 2 of the 1st post does work.

You only need SuperCID if you want to flash a stock rom from another region or an unbranded stock rom. It is not needed to flash a custom rom. In terms of the problem with the rom, you are best off asking the questions in the relevant rom thread.

Yes, you are correct

Get Titanium Backup and remove the apps you don't want.

IIRC I'm sure I saw a post in here that Revolutionary now works with 1.18.0000 (but may be wrong). I tried to go to http://revolutionary.io/ to confirm but it seems to be down currently.

Edit: Ok link up again and it does say that 1.18.0000 is now supported:
[HTC Sensation] hytl:
I have a TmoUS HTC Sensation. Is it the same version as the other Sensation? If I flash the Euro firmware version to my Tmous, will it break my phone? If it does, will 3G still work good? The reason I want to do that because I want to get rid of all of the TmoUS crapware. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I'm not 100% certain, but the Euro rom will not support the "so called" 4G, but should work without any problems on 3G and even with HSDPA+. If you want to be safe though, once rooted on your TMOUS rom you can install Titanium Backup which will allow you to uninstall the bloatware.
[HTC Sensation] deeay:
so i did this revolutionary.io thing and when my phone is on the fastboot screen my terminal is "waiting for fastboot"

when i look at my fast boot im still on s-on with pyramid-1.17.0008

what do i do
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Your drivers aren't installed correctly. Go to www.theunlockr.com and in the Sensation 'how to' s-off section, download and install the drivers then try again.
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
hello

why we need to do this ?

"STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]"

in the 1st page guide. If i want to use the official ruu of my model, do i need to go on step 4?? what is the reason for this step???

and here

"2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful

So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!

Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions."

in step_5, how many times should i run the official ruu? once or twice? sorry but i can't understand....

and another question: where can i find the ruu of my 1.45 update rom???? i only find 1.35...
[HTC Sensation] JamesRC:
Has anyone confirmed going:

S-On (Stock) -> S-Off -> S-On -> S-Off (again)?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I believe the OP has.
[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
Thanks guys. I re-downloaded the file and it worked. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] GbNoR:
Same thing happend to me. I tried over and over, without any success,

read every solution I could, but I still was stock on the "waiting for fastboot".

So I upgraded my phone, with the "over air" update from HTC,

to 2.3.4 (1.18.0000). Went over to Htcdev.com, and unlocked the

bootloader. Got a new Beta key, and did the whole rooting process,

you find in the first post. Success ! :D

I don't now if the unlocking of the bootloader from Htcdev, did it,

because I had written wrong serial number, when I got the beta

key, after updating to 2.3.4. wrote a U instead of V ?? I think??, any way,

I got a new betakey, and I downloaded a fresh revolutionary-0.4pre3

packed.

You have to download/install Htc sync, java runtime and android sdk,

in order to unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com.

I have included the files needed from the android sdk, so you dont

have to download android sdk. Place the android folder with the dll's

in root of C:

You can also use this for write super CID, it countains the same files, as you

find in the step 4 (adb tools), they are just new once (updated).

Download

I didn't get the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to install, but used the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip found in post 2.

Note:I disable norton, and exit htc sync -->close it, so it wouldn't run in the background when running revolutionary.exe.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
This is what i did

S-On (Stock) -> S-Off -> S-On -> S-Off (again) -> S-ON AGAIN -> FINALLY S-OFF for the Third Time lol
[HTC Sensation] maxtcee:
Hey can you direct me to where I can sim unlock my sensation I'm going out of the country and I wont pay those crazy roaming charges
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Call your carrier and tell them you're going out of the country and they will SIM unlock your phone.
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
Somebody here?
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
You only need SuperCID if you want to run a RUU from a region that is different to the normal region of your phone. If you only want to run RUUs that are made for your phone region, SuperCID is unnecessary.

As far as running the RUU multiple times, ikhzter was just emphasizing that you need to run the RUU just before you issue the S-ON command. If you run the RUU and then alter any partition from stock, S-ON will semi-brick your phone. So you only need to run the RUU once but do it just before the S-ON command so you can be sure that all partitions are stock.

I don't think any 1.45 RUUs have leaked. HTC generally doesn't make these publicly available so the only way we get them is if someone leaks them.
[HTC Sensation] Troden:
Ive been at this for 2 days now im going bonkers

Ok i tried all yesterday to get the offical HTCDEV boot unlock to work but i cant get past step 8 as i get the error;

"fastboot oem get_identifier_token"

I get [ERR] Command error !!!

So then i gave up on that and have spend all of today on this method but keeps failing when rebooting to fastboot for the 2nd time;

waiting for fastboot...

Rebooting to fastboot (again)...

Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Agian.

i have also tried this method on 2 different computers (both get stuck in same spot). one of them being my work pc that has never had htcsync installed and im using the htc drivers mentioned in post 2.

id love any suggestions as im running shot on ideas and im defiantly out of patience.

cheers for you assistance.

Edit: got it finally got Revolutionary to go thru after posting this up, had to use these drivers http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
ok

thank you

since i have the 1.45 update, is there any way to leak it as ruu???
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
If you have the RUU please post it, OTA is unneeded
[HTC Sensation] emm_stra:
The ota is what I have and I thought that we could get ruu from that.
[HTC Sensation] tommeke19:
Hi,

I'm S-OFF but I don't have Hboot 1.17.1011. I still have 1.17.0011, is that a problem.

Greetz

Sorry if it's asked before (but i'm new to sensation ;))
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
What happens when Revolutionary is released stable? Do we s-on then s-off again using the new method (when available)?
[HTC Sensation] nunuxx:
You guys need your kind help. i can't get past:

Revolutionary Failed with Error - HBOOT version?

Hi, I have scanned the thread but have not seen an answer - maybe my eyes are just tired?

I ran Revolutionary on my Sensation 4G. When I began, I had HBOOT 1.17.0008.

Revolutionary ran and rebooted the device into fastboot twice, then failed with a message "go get some lemonade - press any key to exit".

I now have S-Off with HBOOT 1.17.1111

My Sensation boots ok, but I am concerned that I have the wrong HBOOT or something? What should the HBOOT version be after successful completion?

Do I run the utility again? Any help is really appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Worked for me, thanks a million!! The only thing is, my Hboot also says 1.17.1111, is this a good thing or did i do something wrong?

Another question, i did S-off and changed CID to HTC__E11 (Stock dutch HTC) while my rom version was 1.45.162.1. When a new OTA update from HTC is available, will i still be able to update OTA and keep my S-off, or will the update lock my bootloader again?
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
great guide, both to root/s-off and unroot/s-on... thank you for it!
[HTC Sensation] Heematux:
The same thing also happend to me

it said failed go get some lemonade - press any key to exit

then my hboot is now 1.17.1111

but everything else worked without a problem (S-OFF,Clockwork,Root)

is this part of the newest revolutionary update (revolutionary-0.4pre4) ?
[HTC Sensation] King Royalty:
too much steps too much work, ill wait for an easier way to root like the way we did with the HD2. :D
