I was one of those WIFI suckers that had to go back to stock ROM after the root. Today, I applied the new file in step two and can say that so far so good! I am rooted, and my wifi works. I can also turn my phone on and off normally. I got setcpu working too. (Still need to see if I lose it on a reboot).

I will report back tonight or tomorrow to confirm whether or not my wifi is working still...

EDIT: Also, for those that have setCPU reset your phone after doing the insmod, try uninstalling setCPU and then reinstalling it. Worked for me.

just want to say a huge thanks to ikhzter, helped me through the problem i had and the rest went smooth, absolutely great guide and totally noob proof!

Big thanks man!
[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
Hey! Just wanted to post up and thank you for updating with instructions to fix the power off charging issue! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
X2 thanks for the great step by step guide and the update!

Thanks,:)
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
searched through the pages, couldn't find os x instructions, guessing there's no method yet? anyone done this? or am i gonna have to boot a live cd?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
unfortunately i don't think so.

Sorry im an anti apple person. Hate apple. android is the way forward.

try live cd, and guide should be pretty much the same.

Thanks for all the comments guys, going to sift through tonight and update any changes that need to be made.

Also updating my own theme now that we have S-off

Apologies for the delay in replying to posts or pms, im currently working in the evenins and as it is the month of fasting im quite busy after work till midnight, but i will keep checking here and trying to help everyone.

good luck with S-off and enjoy your sensational phone
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
Unfortunately OSX is used by a lot of people as android is a mobile os and has nothing to do with desktops. I hate apple as well, however Linux's software lib is miserable, and windows is annoying, so I use OSX on my pc
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
i agree.

maybe if someone finds a way to use os x ill help make a guide for it.

The problem is revolutionary is only released for windows or linux. if you could S-off on OSx its all downhill from there

as you flash clockwork and custom roms without the need of connecting to your PC :)

just place files on sd card
[HTC Sensation] mofoliar:

Stuck on Step#2!

Hi ya'll. I have a USA T-mobile Sensation. I am trying to proceed to step 3 but somehow I seem to be stuck in step 2. I've completed everything step in Step 2 but when I try to start step 3, I cannot seem to locate the "clockworkmod recovery" on my phone to proceed. I am assuming step 2 installed it but I cannot find it anywhere. Is the RomManager App in the Market the same thing?

Any advice would be great. Just a word of note; a couple of weeks ago I tried that temproot process that gave my sensation temproot until I rebooted it. I don't know if this is affecting the current attempts at permroot.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Yes you can use Rom manager in the market.

Also make sure you deleted P58IMG from your sed card

when you hold volume down and press power button, you should boot into bootloader.

recovery is the second option volume down and press power button to go into it. should work, no one has had any issues, try it
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks for the fast reply! It worked. :)
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
so I've got a bit of a problem...

I have yesterday's version of CWM... the version that doesn't charge while phone is off...

Well, my battery has died (i.e. drain to 0%). Since it's drained, I can't turn it on. Since I can't turn it on, I can't charge it...

What do I do?!

I'm kind of freaking out now...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Try this,

take out battery and reinsert

plug in the charger and leave it plugged for about 15 minutes

take out the battery and reinsert

try powering on

you get anything????
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Type in

*#*#4636#*#*

select phone information

can u change it there to wcdma preferred?

try switching ciphering off then on as well
[HTC Sensation] amitkhas:
Not sure why, but it worked!

Thanks!

Weird tho, it came back on saying I have 36% battery life... rebooted again, came back with 51%.... third reboot... 42%...
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I knew it would work, thats why im the OP. lol joking

i found out yesterday the old recovery does charge after conducting a test

(drained my battery, switched off, put it on charge for 10 minutes, battery pull, power on and it had increased by 10%)

, the problem is the led doesnt light up and to get it to boot again, you need to remove the battery and put it back in and then boot.

it wouldnt boot if you started charging and then pressed power button, pulling the battery was essential

just install the new cwm ;) to be on the safe side now
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
ok and then after wifi goes off does it go back to wcdma?

so what i mean,

1. Wcdma preferred selected (wifi off)

2. wifi on - changed to gsm only

3. wifi off - .....still in gsm or is it now back in wcdma?
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Damn... So it was actually charging after all... (with last recovery) great find... I think not even the revolutionary team was aware of that... Lol

Hi, I have a very strange issue. See my thread if you want here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16233447&posted=1#post16233447

But, to get to the point, I tried to get S-ON back on my phone to send it back to HTC, and now I am stuck on the Security Warning Message. I am S-ON though. But, whenever I try to rerun the RUU, it tells me there's a signature error. What should i do? :(
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
I now have s-off, root, custom battery icon with percentage, CWM with nandroid backups, custom boot animation, custom boot splash, super CID, and one hell of a sensation 3.5G... Thanks to the op, revolutionary team and everyone here that helped... Thanks!

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
This is exactly what i had dude when i semi-bricked

Its the security message in purple at the top like this

***security warning***

Pyramid PVT Ship S-on RL

Did you use Super CID first?

what device is yours, Tmous, EU, voda or what?

Flash the same rom as you had using RUU.exe and be patient with it

Try a different pc, download it from the link in post 1 or here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

If you have supercid

try this one RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1

thats what restored it for me.

i know the feeling its crap. but atleast your S-on

dude it has to work

run it as administrator too

Has someone contacted koush about the bug of still not recharging in recovery? There's been several folks here with drained batterys not able to charge though in CWMR 4.0.1.5
[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
[SOLVED]The next day phone doesn't turn on! Let's DEBUG it together!

(show-p1984 helped me; this is now fixed. See below.)

About an hour ago, I woke up because my phone notified me that I have to do the laundry, both via an sms (from Google Calendar) and an sound notification from the phone's own built-in calendar.

Grabbing the phone and pushing Power, I see that the LEDs at the bottom are lit, but nothing shows on the screen. I can't disable the screenlock, since I can't see anything. I have both the default HTC Ring and also the Graphical move-your-finger-across-a couple-of-balls lock, so it's quite hard to do without an actual image.

This error never occurred before I did S-OFF, root, SuperCID, so I am assuming it could be related.

Now, I hooked up the phone to my laptop and ran 'adb devices'. Phone is connected! So instead of just pulling the battery to restart that way, I figured it might be interesting for you devs if we could pull some logs from the phone to see why it isn't turning on as it should. :-)

When connecting the phone the battery charging light came on and while I'm typing this it just turned green, so I'm guessing it's in some half-way state as I can't call the phone and it doesn't tell me that it receives SMS.

So, what adb commands should I run to be able to provide you guys with relevant information? I tried a 'adb logcat', but I don't want to paste it without instructions, since I fear it might contain sensitive information, or maybe not?

My phone is 'dead' so I am hoping some of you guys are awake and able to help me.

Thank you so very much, show-p1984
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Thanks for the logs @ IRC. Just do a adb reboot and see if its working normally. This can't have anything to do with revo, once you have booted the stock rom takes over, so there lies the error. Maybe wrong permissions?

@ IRC:

( 14:34:42 ) ( show-p1984 ) try the following:

( 14:34:47 ) ( show-p1984 ) adb reboot recovery

( 14:35:23 ) ( show-p1984 ) choose Advanced

( 14:35:33 ) ( show-p1984 ) then choose "Fix Permissions"

( 14:35:36 ) ( show-p1984 ) reboot

( 14:41:17 ) ( N-S[X1] ) it's rebooting as before, takes a while before pin code comes

( 14:42:27 ) ( N-S[X1] ) :-) ahhhhh

( 14:42:40 ) ( N-S[X1] ) Thank you thank you thank you.

Solved. ;)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:

[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
ikhzter thanks. Worked for me.

Out of 54 failures, what is the bricking ratio ? how many bricks in the night when activation key was required ?
[HTC Sensation] ronenpg:
Ikhzter, thanks for great guide ;)

Just need to clarification something: Step #1 with revolutionary tool, doing S-OFF permanently (means you will NOT LOSE ROOT after rebooting) or it's just temporary (until rebooting)?

If the answer is Yes it's permanently, please explain what means Step #3 / what is the differences ?

Thanks,

Ronen.
[HTC Sensation] asko1981:
Yes, I have contacted him on twitter this morning about the issue. Waiting on a reply.

I let my battery discharge completely last night and had it charge over night. This morning the LED light was off and the phone wont power on. Changed chargers and outlets, still nothing.

Gotta buy a new battery and hope it has enough juice to boot up the phone.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
No bricks at all afaik, but as you can see @ http://rserver8.de/bricked/index.htm ikhzter was pretty close and has a goddamn ton full of luck. ;)) 2times!

With any other device, this could have been fatal
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
You will not brick using S-off

as far as i know the 54 failures are those people who tried to s-off but it didn't work for them(tmous wasnt supported at first) or they werent following the directions properly

many people have contacted me saying they voted no but its now worked

As far as bricking

i went back to s-on while i was rooted with a custom rom. phone wouldnt switch on, it was semi-bricked as the phone wasnt allowed to boot a non htc signed rom

i fixed it by flashing ruu.exe while in bootloader.

Moral, make sure u r stock and do not install anything if you want S-on

2nd time i tried i used S-off then went back to S-on. it worked without a glitch
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Step 1 is just S-off it means you can start flashing clockwork recovery and start putting custom roms on it (it isnt rooting)

Step 3 is the actually root. you install the files to give you root access. you will not lose rooting on rebooting

you need step 1 and 2 to use step 3.
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Question again :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Babydollll:
Did u mount as R/W?

Sent from my ENG S-Off Sensation (Pipsqueak approves of this message)
[HTC Sensation] kylez64:
I have a security warning flag on every boot.

tried to follow your instructions but i cant connect though usb to fastboot.

I powered down and it charges fine.

any suggestions?

EDIT:Okay, got it to connect to fastboost by restartng pc. Tried the RUU and signature failure.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
S-off allows you to flash a recovery and step 3 is adding root to the stock rom.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
If u did try to S-ON it with a custom rom, you are pretty much screwed. Either you try to RUU it with the right version for your phone (http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid) or u send it in for RMA.

As i explained before, S-ON with custom rom is not a wise path to choose.

If you want to read up a log with exactly this issue, read this.

If you did something else, give us more details.
[HTC Sensation] Rsotbiemrptson:
Hello,

I was in your situation and was able to use the battery from both my nexus and my myTouch to boot in to the bootloader and flash the stock recovery. I had to hold the batteries in place as they are not the right size (just line up the contact points). After flashing the stock recovery I was able to put my sensation battery back in, let it charge for a few minuets and then it would power on. Hope this helps. I have attached the stock recovery from the TMOUS 1.29 rom that I used.

my hboot is with .2008 in the end, what can i do ?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Thats supposed to be like this. /system is not mounted rw, its mounted ro. you need to remount it with write support.

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system

and to revert that after saving, do:

mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /system

To check if /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 is rly mounted as your /system, just do a mount from a console.

show-p1984 no, latest CWM is 4.0.1.5 . I found it at two places: in this forum, and on market (after installing ROM manager, it installed CWM 4.0.1.5 automaticly).

I sware my phone has ClockWorkMod v4.0.1.5, the one with orange theme: don't know how to paste this information from adb, but, since you pushed me to triple check:

- remove battery

- plug USB

- put battery

- led lights (YES, at this point, the phone does recharge the battery: this point has been fixed: did not work in 4.0.1.4, now works in 4.0.1.5)

- down button + power => HBOOT

- enter recovery

- let CWM start

- LED turns off

- run adb, and launch my magic command:

current is zero, status is discharging ... i just say; not fixed !

Now, let's start the phone in normal mode:
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Dude... dont argue with me. Latest is the one I posted above.. Why? Because IEF built it yesterday! It is based on 4.0.1.4, but its defenitly the newest fixed version for the Sensation.

So here we go again:

It's fixed for the HTC Sensation.

newest cwm for pyramid is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33327355/cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img

It

won't

light up the led. But you can check if it's loading by connection your phone to the pc, powering off (not fastboot power of... the real poweroff. Pull the battery if you want to be sure), and execute this:

adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

it should put out:

[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Just flash the link I posted, and check it. It works for me and for everyone @ #revolutionary that installed this... Last comment regarding this topic.
[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img ( downloaded on july 30th at 1:17:14 AM french time) is the one which killed my battery, the one installed by revolutionary friday night (green-blue menus). Rom Manager installed v4.0.1.5 this morning (orange menus). And for online download:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

And when i start recovery, it's written v4.0.1.5, the menu is orange, and adb says the battery is in discharging status. For proofs, see my previous logs. You state that it *should* work; i say it *does not*.

You linked me to 4.0.1.4 ... and I refuse to install it, because it would be what we call a *downgrade*. And i won't change my mind until you paste me an adb log (from withint Recovery mode with CWM on screen), and provide a link pointing to x.y.z.t with x>=4, y>=0 z>=1 t>4.

And if you tell me there are several 4.0.1.4, then author should learn how to name file correctly. Because using the same file name for different file content would just be stupid.
[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
Very hardly: here is the email my friend sent me:

So, if you are saying that yesterday, the newest build have been name the same way, and uploaded at the same URL as the old 4.0.1.4 which broke my phone days ago ... then the dev who build two contents under the same version name, and the webmaster who accepted to upload this different content at identical URL are just stupid. The URL you give me was already valid 4 days ago. And is the one I used to break my phone.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I never said v4.0.1.5 is fixed. I said, the one I linked is charging, perfectly. Off & CWM. Read carefully next time.

If you refuse to install a working recovery, I can't help you. And whats the bad thing about a "downgrade" that works? I went back to Windows 98 1 week after I installed Windows 98ME, and it was the right decision.

I would love to show u a photo, but the only camera I have is in my phone (actually it has 2 xD).

[HTC Sensation] doublehp:
Yes, you said so. And you kept for yourself that the file had been rebuild the same version name, and uploaded on webserver at the same URL, and that this newly updated 4.0.1.4 deprecates the previous 4.0.1.5.

That's not just unfair. But, I don't know the word in english to qualify this kind of things. You could not find quicker way to make me angry for life time against author, and you.

So I am confused by the charging issue?

I have only Soff and Rooted my phone. I am at this point not interested in using custom rom yet. So on TMobile stock rom.

I have Fastboot enabled. and am running newest 1.5 orange text cwm

So are you saying if I let my battery run to dead I wont be able to charge phone?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
LOL!! I just tried it and I belive I'm S-OFF now too!

However... Now I'm thing about having a custom ROM... Which one is recommended by you guys to start with?

LeeDROiD or Android Revolution HD??
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Nope.. all well with the orange text CWM (4.0.1.5)
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I prefer LD over ARHD.. Not saying that ARHD is bad.. just that Mike updates it too often.. :D

And LD roms are known to be stable and easy on the battery.. used his from DHD as well.
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Thats true... Many updates by .1 increments lol ohh I forgot something here goes .2... Lol
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
For us Flashaholics, more is better LOL.

@BioTeck, I'm on ARHD 1.1.3 and enjoying it - nice and stable (a new release is expected soon.)
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I need to start with something so in this case I would go for LeeDROiD! ;)

I've heard people talking about CM7 as well...

Now I know that CM7 isn't available for Sensation (yet) but when it does become available.. What's the best thing to do?

Stay with LeeDROiD or CM7? (just wondering!)
[HTC Sensation] krot84:
Same here folks.

Will the whole procedure work on the Sensation 4G ?

[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Yes... It works
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
True as... but I dont like to update the whole ROM just because the cook found a new FB update and decided to whip the whole ROM.. no offence to anyone.. this is just my personal opinion..
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
LOL... I get it! ;)

Sure will do!! At this moment I'm downloading ROM Manager to install Leedroid... :D
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
You dont really need to d/l the Rom Manager.. just download the file (my siggy) and flash it via recovery
