[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Update : Additional links for my Method for successful S-OFF after wrong S_ON implementation guide in my New thread

[ Guide ] Successful S-OFF using htc dev Unlock for GB or ICS after non proper Wrong S-ON with Security Warning (

the Only known working method

) in here

Solve WiFi Errors , Radio Flashing Problem , Caused by htc Dev Unlock Method , and Solve Wrong S-ON in here

How htc dev unlock method Works

first of all , i don't like this method ( htc dev unlock method ) because it is tricky

this method unlocks some options for Bootloader ( Not All of them )

the Boot.img and Bootloader are still locked , and of course the Radio area is still locked ( it is not the radio we flash to improve signal )

locked means those areas can not be over-written

it allows you to install Custom Roms , But what htc don't tell you is that the custom rom should be using their htc Stock kernel in order to work without errors !!!!!!! . ( Otherwise for Roms with custom kernels , you have to install Custom Kernels in a certain Method to avoid errors like WiFi error !!!! )

this certain Method is to flash locked items ( like Boot.img that includes custom Kernel ) through fastboot ( i.e bootloader ) and is better done through your PC and the device is on fastboot usb ( put boot.img inside adb folder in same place your fastboot.exe and then use command : fastboot flash boot boot.img )

S-ON

htc dev unlock method does not give S-off , it only unlocks some options for Bootloader . so ,what you saw ( Unlocked and S-on ) is normal for htc method

WiFi Error and Custom Roms

you can use ARHD ROM and solve WiFi error ( while you still on htc dev unlock method ) by installing the custom kernel in a certain method

if the Custom rom uses the

Exact same version

of htc Stock Kernel ,you will not have WiFi Error

Wifi error is usually happens because of the kernel ( in your case it is because of kernel mismatch )

in htc Method the Boot.img is still locked , Note that the Boot.img includes the Kernel

the kernel is located inside Boot.img , and Also the kernel components ( when you install a rom ) are located in System \ lib \ modules . the Module Folder is a Kernel Folder . if there is a mismatch between kernel and kernel components you will have WiFi error

in your case , the Boot.img is still the htc stock Boot.img ( i.e it includes the stock htc Kernel ) , and you installed a custom Rom that includes a custom Kernel

When the Custom rom is being installed it will not be able to replace htc Stock Boot.img ( i.e the Stock Kernel , because it is locked ) , But will be able to install kernel components System \ lib \ modules ( because it is Unlocked ) , and

Here comes the kernel mismatch and the WiFi Error

( the Kernel is still the htc stock kernel , and the Kernel components are for a different custom Kernel )

Radio Flashing Problem

you have to flash an official release Radio

specific for your Sensation version

( Sensation , Sensation 4G , Sensation XE ) , htc method will only allow signed Radio specific for your device , and will not allow you to flash a radio for a different Sensation device

i guess ( not sure ) the Radio you are trying to flash is not an official htc release for your specific Version of sensation

Note that ARHD ROM is Based on sensation XE and most probably their recommended Radio is a sensation XE Radio , if your Device is Not sensation XE , htc method will not allow that ( because i guess the option in bootloader is still locked )

most probably the same goes for changing CID ( the bootloader is locked )

Revolutionary Method

uninstall htc new drivers

and htc Sync , and use the

old htc drivers

(v 3.0.0.007) mentioned in revolutionary page ( for windows users ) ,New htc drivers prevent Revolutionary from doing its job ( Proved ).

if you are using htc dev unlock method , you have to re-lock your bootloader before using revolutionary
