It's like a handful of posts back that they will be releasing an updated version of the application tomorrow that fixes the issue with .0008 devices.
[HTC Sensation] HashTagHell:
Nothing concrete. The exact word in the irc was "Hopefully". We've waiting this long, some more time won't kill us.
[HTC Sensation] h0llyw00dj0e:
will trying another RUU change the hboot?
[HTC Sensation] jeet1988:
i m s off ,,but recovery doesnt installed don noe why ,while installing recovering via fastboot i m geting this eroor ,come on friends help me
[HTC Sensation] Scott41373:
Just asked basically the same thing about 6 posts ago, but nobody has answered. Maybe we should just wait. If it's tomorrow what's another day?
[HTC Sensation] glhturbo:
I finally got it working on my Bell HTC Sensation 4G.

I had to download the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to the root of my SD card. Booted into CWM recovery and flashed it.

Installed Busy Box Installer from the market and installed ver 1.18.4 (which then asked for SuperUser)

After that, Titanium Backup worked fine. Backing up my stuff as I type.
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
Yes, if the RUU has an updated hboot. I would know, I shot myself in the foot yesterday. My Sensation came with .0011 hboot and when I flashed the 1.29 RUU yesterday it downgraded me to .0008 :( what kind of luck is that? I flashed it to see if it would iron out a couple bugs I was dealing with (not knowing we would get S-OFF today :() I was already on the same 1.29 release too lol.

So in short, if I would've never messed with that damn RUU, I would be sitting pretty with my own ROM right now.
[HTC Sensation] jlevy73:
Keep getting communication error when running the S-off program. Pretty much deleted all other drivers off my PC. Not sure what else would causing the issue :(
[HTC Sensation] dcwiker05:
Ok guys so I heard that trying this whole deal in linux has a better chance of working on TMOUS devices so I decided to run Ubuntu off of a thumb drive. How do I get this damn script to run? I downloaded the SDK and fallowed the installation tutorials and junk but clicking the REVOLUTIONARY script does nothing....help? I'm impatient really dont want to wait for the windows fix tomorrow lol

Amazing, guys. Here comes CM7!
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
I did read the OP I was just wondering if there was anything concrete on a fix for the T-Mobile Sensation that's all.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
By the way - if anyone has issues in Ubuntu 11.04 - if you get stuck in "waiting for fastboot" - all you need to do is run it like that

"sudo ./fastboot" - i ran that without the sudo and got stuck a few times, ran it with sudo - it works like a charm now !!! :))

Thanks everyone, thanks developers, and screw you HTC - OUR XDA PEOPLE GOT IT FIRST!!!!!! ;)

Invalid Beta Key

I have checked and double checked my beta key (caps sensitive, l, 0...ect) but always get the invalid beta key message. Please help.

EDIT--- copy paste solved it, sorry
[HTC Sensation] rrodxbox360repair:
Sn is serial number, once you download it and fill out java form that pops up you will get a code, write it down. Run program you just downloaded while your phone is connected in sync mode. It will ask for code in terminal, type it in and hit enter. That should be it. Make sure you have htc drivers installed on your computer
[HTC Sensation] taipan21:
I had trouble typing in beta key, once I realized I could paste the key, it worked fine.

Sensation tmobile version with hboot 1.17.0008
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Darn it!

I did everything, but Titanium Backup will just not work.

I did read the instructions on their website, I installed busybox, but it still says that my system does not have root.

I tried adb shell - I get root. I tried AdFree - I get root. I tried Terminal Emulator - I get root.

But whatever I do - Titanium does not have root. :(

Also, when I was installing the su package (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) - I did get an error (Status:0) - but I still seem to be having root for all other apps, except TB.

Please help! :(
[HTC Sensation] leyvatron:
that beta key was killing me.... I had to copy it on to microsoft word then check it... the I was a lower case L... I was messed up. Worked now.

Thanks for the work guys.
[HTC Sensation] Babydollll:

Keep getting invalid beta key x66l0Z8skQvhkM1K any ideas plz
[HTC Sensation] Scott41373:
Worked like a charm. S-off & root, so nice. Bring on the custom roms!
[HTC Sensation] offdutyninja808:
Okay, ladies and gentlemen...

I have seen multiple people in this thread saying that TB isn't working for them. As in it says they aren't root'd. I was just playing around with my Sensation and I downloaded SU update fixer from the market. Check the "Force" radio button and click fix. Reboot your phone and open TB. After doing this it should ask for root rights and you should be good to go. Let me know if this works for anyone else.
[HTC Sensation] mayhem1983:
Go into recovery scroll down to backup n restore in cwm n back up rom
[HTC Sensation] motoman234:
My key looked kinda like this and it was giving me an invalid error. For your fourth letter, are you typing a capital 'L'? I thought it was a capital 'I' and that's why I kept getting the error.

I agree with others saying this is the easiest root method I have ever done. Props to the devs!
[HTC Sensation] w_bovine:
*sigh* I asked about this in #135. I should have followed my own thinking! :o

Rebooting now to see if it works.

[HTC Sensation] id242:
If anyone is having problems entering their beta code to the revolutionary.exe application, a simple solution is to...

1) Highlight your beta code from the http://revolutionary.io/ website and copy it to your clipboard (right click and choose copy)

2) select the revolutionary.exe program window and type "hello" (actually, anything will work) where it is asking for your beta code - do not press enter!

3) Now delete whatever you just typed.

4) Finally, click on the top left corner of your window, choose Edit, then Paste.

Now your beta code has been copied to the program and you are good to move forward.
[HTC Sensation] offdutyninja808:
Let us know if that does the trick.
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
Please I need to know where is key maybe I am doing something wrong. Is the key is the s/n? When I write it is says invalid key.. I can't copy and past on this page. Any help? thanks

[HTC Sensation] id242:
The key is what the rev site gives you after you've entered in your phone's details and clicked on "Generate key"

To get your serial number, which is needed, go to your phone's home screen and then press...

Menu > Settings > About Phone > Phone Identity > Device serial number

The number will look something like HT15ZT123456

You can also find your phone serial number on the back of the box which it came in. It's listed right after S/N:
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
This what I did and copy and past does not working also .. Thanks for the answer anyways :(

[HTC Sensation] demon187:
All i get is acquiring root<method 3> on tmo 0008 nothing else please help
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Yes again this works on the TmoUS 0008 hboot version. I did this after their fix. And what I did was uninstall htc sync, but leave the htc driver on, downloaded the htc fastboot drivers and used the util with no problems.

After s-off was performed by the util, it asked if I wanted cwm recovery installed as well and I said yes because I was on wifi to download and install the recovery and it successfully installed without issue.

Then downloaded the su zip file from the same site, transferred it to the root of my sd card and flashed via recovery. Bam! Rooted baby! Titanium backup works like a champ.
[HTC Sensation] Jayedamina:
i even did a hard reset and still the same:(
[HTC Sensation] byrdman164:

DO NOT DO IT PEOPLE, THEY WILL RELEASE A PATCH VIA OTA TO KILL THIS METHOD PROBABLY

Dunno, might not be that at all but I am paranoid

If you've got complete S-OFF, an OTA shouldn't be able to kill it.

how long does it takes ?
[HTC Sensation] neo.25:
Iam in fastboot and the tool write me waiting for device plsss what i nee to do????
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
same here dont know why
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
To everyone having issues with being stuck on either "root" or "fastboot".

Windows users - run the program as administrator (right click on the program, run as (administrator))

Or you can find command prompt, run it as administrator and navigate to the folder where revulionary is located.

Linux users - either run as root, or run it like that:

sudo ./revolutionary

This should fix all your problems.

And if something does get stuck - just pull the battery out and try it again. But in general - if running with elevated privileges (administrator or root or sudo).

Good luck to everyone,

Tony.
