Reboot to fastboot.

Get adb live in your pc

connect your phone to pc

check to ensure fastboot recognized your phone > fastboot devices

if everything goes well (your phone recognized)

check your main ver in fastboot by command > fastboot getvar mainver

get RUU with the similar main ver

create goldcard

flash via hboot with RUU you downloaded

I need some help, I am trying to S Off my phone but i am not been able to open revolutionary.exe every time i click on it, i looks like it is about to start but nothing happens. I am using Windows 7 machine. I restarted the computer few times and i have antivirus disabled as well.

Can i get some advice or walk through to make it work ? Thank you in advance
[HTC Sensation] trust-no-one:
The only things I can think of are do you have the drivers (I installed HTC Sync before I did mine, not sure if its a good idea lol) and are you running as administrator.... try administrator first lol
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
to flash CWM ... the suggested method is via fastboot ... but via cwm also ok and will safe.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

by using search button you will find many post with similar problem. Check that you installed phone usb drivers (Two drivers : android driver and fastboot driver). the best thing, install htcsync > sync your phone > UNINSTALL HTCsync app but DO NOT UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS, for windows 7 right click > run as aministrator

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

I think you need to inform full information, how you do s-off, what is your current Hboot version, radio version and cwm version. what android version on rom you face save mode and what android version went well. From all info probably users here will be able to help you

Trying to flash the stock RUU was the first thing i did. Perchaps the device is in download mode so it is not recognized by the installer.

Do you have a guide or a tutorial where i can see the CDMA Workshop functionalyties and were can i find EPST, it's a software, a procedure or what? Could you brief me the more important steps of what you did on your device to unbrick it?

Thanks!

I ran the revolutionary Utility to get S-OFF. That was successful. I am now attempting to flash a recovery. When I plug my phone in, I get "pyramid, with hboot 1.20 is not supported". Looking at my hboot screen, I see...

At this stage, should I just follow the HTCDev process to unlock the bootloader? Not sure where to proceed.

Any attempts to flash a recovery using PG58IMG on the SD Card immediately generates "incorrect model id" error. The Android Flasher utility gives a no permission error.
[HTC Sensation] prootc1:
Did you do This:

How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below

1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read

"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)

4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )

5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.

If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)

6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,

7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.

IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported

8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)

9. Your Device now is S-off.

To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!

Waiting for device....

Found your device: HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid-1.20.0000, Android 2.3.3, ROM version: 1.29.531.2)

[HTC Sensation] prootc1:
Enter on adb command, if you don´t have it is here on post:

1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX

extract on your "c:" and write on command:

5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)

6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)

7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)

IF it doesn't you can Manually 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

9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)

10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

One thing happend,

My Sensation when boot normal (Home screen) the vol down key, dont activate nothing is useless, but when i 'm bootloader it works...

Sorry, this one:

Please try to flash the Eng-Hboot " link " like all PG58IMG.zip and than flash over fastboot " this " recovery. After all, wipe everything in Recovery or use " this " to wipe all Partitions. Install it like an Rom. After that you can install the Rom you want.

[HTC Sensation] namila007:
i can give a answer for ur 1st question. i think ur phone already rooted.as u flashed a new rom u havent rooted ur stock rom.it is necessary to root the stock rom too.there is a utility called "super tool" *something like that.u can use it or try the Step 3 in this post. ;)
[HTC Sensation] badabam:
thx

thx for all !!!
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
If you are using a custom recovery tool like 4EXT or ClockworkMod then, your phone is rooted. A custom recovery tool doesn't work on a non rooted phone ;). There is not much diffrence on HBoot 1.20 you doesn't have fastboot anymore, but that is not an problem for me ;) Hboot 1.20 works also with many custom roms.

Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 you can find the 1.20 Hboot with the newest radio for the ICS 4.0.1 version from Mike's custom rom 5.0.2 XE

You can also flash other custom roms using Super Wipe. This is recommended when you flash another from with a diffrent number, like roms 3X.. upgrade doens't need SUper Wipe but are you flashing a rom from version 3 to version 4 then is highly recommended to use Super Wipe ;)

[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
Yes you can flash other custom roms, you don't have to worry about the locked command in the bootloader the 1.20 Hboot version is also unlocked just as version 1.18x just give it a try you won't be disappointed
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
there is a deference between S-off and Root , ( we usually use them as they are the same )

S-off using Revolutionary gives permanent S-off or Partial S-off depending on the device itself

as i read , Sensation gets permanent S-off , and for example Incredible 2 gets Partial S-off ( means not all areas are unlocked like the Radio area i think or it disables the security flag only ) . But Both can install custom roms .... etc

Root is when you install SU ( super user ) , then you are rooted , this is to let APK's that need that permission to be able to run . Super user is usually installed through recovery ( you will need to install custom Recovery )

So you could be Permanent S-off But Not Yet Rooted ( if you don't install SU )

i didn't read much about the Boot loader 1.2 , if it is due to using Htc unlock method ? . htc unlock method does not unlock all areas of your Phone for example ( Boot.img , and Kernel )

superCID

So I followed the whole process of getting SuperCID

STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]- (continue from step 11 below if you have already done this)

(allows you to flash ANY ROM to the device regardless of the carrier. Just click RUU.EXE)

1. Download adb tools here: download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX or from the attachments below

2. On your pc click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)

3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting

4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")

5. Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings)

6. enter the command "adb devices". This is to confirm your phone is connected. (It should come back with list of devices attached and your serial number)

7. enter the command "adb reboot-bootloader". (nothing further required device WILL reboot in bootloader)

IF it doesn't you can Manually 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

8. enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

9. enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot the bootloader)

10. enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

11. enter the command "fastboot reboot"

12. You can now flash any ROM you like.

So no matter what ROm I flash I will still have SuperCID and the only way to test is to try and flash another carriers ROM?

now i got an security update for the rom ,unable to install it .Plz anyone help .

the update file contains CID code (HTC__38)which is not overrided by supercid11111111 it seems.so what should i do??can i change cid to HTC__38 now and will the update installs??

plz help me.
[HTC Sensation] x1123:
I believed in your situation a Goldcard will go. I personally dont like super CID. to manipulate CID gold card is best way and safe bet :D I have no knowledge about ROM and android, from reading ... I understand stock rom is NOT ROOTED and odexed, thus for people like xda forum member, odexed and unrooted is no good. For your situation just download the update and get rid with rom by de-odexing and rooting. Its FUN ..... lol

Copy and paste the beta key, then you don't have to guess whether it's an uppercase I or a lowercase L, or a O or 0 etc. Copy the key and in the tool, click the icon in top left corner and select Edit/Paste

That should work without a problem.
