[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
So, it worked for you? Mine is still getting stuck at Acquiring root (method 3).... :/
[HTC Sensation] broncogr:
Try running the RUU from your pc will being in bootloader or fastboot
[HTC Sensation] kable:
One of the easiest Root methods ever and clockwork to boot! Awesome!
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
Damn I am going on 2 hrs now I tried temp root w/naked drivers Reboots and battery pulls guess I will tried hard reset but not tonite
[HTC Sensation] Jayedamina:

[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:

[HTC Sensation] gururise:
Worked perfectly on my T-Mobile USA Sensation. I am using Ubuntu Linux. Took about 2 minutes to get S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] anjahl:
Awww. Just need to get my laptop working........
[HTC Sensation] NICEGYPT:
How did u get the key because when I enter the site It does not give ma anything. just the download link
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Click on the download link, and it should download, but in the same time it will redirect you to the page where the generator is.

Also, check this out:

"(The beta key form will appear once you cilck on a download link -- if it doesn't, make sure that you have JavaScript enabled.)"
[HTC Sensation] biohaz55:
Ok, this works..... now everything is good!
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
Ok i have both my fiance and my Sensation on T-Mobile in front of me i have both of then S-OFF but i cannot get them rooted. It says Error in/sdcard/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (Status 0) Installation Aborted.

[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
And is the 4G working?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Same thing happened to me - but its okay, because after you reboot - you have perm root.

Just some kind of a bug (mine happened using ubuntu, maybe if you used ubuntu too - that might explain it).
[HTC Sensation] pansenerna666:
One simple question:

Why do they need my serial number of the phone?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
And the answer is on their website:

Which means - if sh*t goes bad - even if you downloaded it, or get it from a mirror - you still cant use it, because you dont have a key. And if they stop the generator - there is no way to get the key.

Its actually made for everyones protection.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
I take it you didn't read the FAQ posted there?

Unzip the file, run the program, when it asks for the beta key, just paste the key you copied.
[HTC Sensation] avenger2540:

[HTC Sensation] knotrkr:
It flashes and that's it. All your info stays as is.
[HTC Sensation] knotrkr:
This is just an idea. I don't mean this is what is going on with yours but I kept getting an invalid beta key error and one of my O's was a zero and that did it.
[HTC Sensation] ransome7:
I got the S-OFF to work , but everytime I try to run su 23 63 signed zipt says (bad) installation aborted. I did do Y when prompted during revolutionary I should have CWR , but rom manager no working, or titanium backup either. All zips say (bad) when trying to run them.

Actually fixed it but a new bigger problem happened... :(

I managed to get the phone to show s-off after using the switch-off recovery tool but after it asked if to download clockwork recovery it suddenly stopped working and now I don't know if I have switch-off or not and if I do how to install clockwork recovery.

Anyone know were to find it searched Market but I don't know witch one I should download.

Even tried the recovery tool again but now it tells me my device is not supported at this time.

Anyone knows what to do?

Should I look for it under CWM? Also who is the developer? Found lots of things apps when I write Clockwork recevery but nothing seems to be a okay one...

Anyway thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] Derek0228:
OK guys, i accomplished S-Off after about 8 long hours.

You must add to the guide, that it is absolutely necessary for you to uninstall ANY program that interacts with your phone, Droid Explorer included. It is crucial. I was getting stuck on Acquiring root (method 3), until i uninstalled Droid Explorer. You must also stop any process that is related to adb, on your task manager in Windows.

-thanks to arzbhatia for making me realize this.
[HTC Sensation] Chance Ill:
Rom Manager. The publisher is ClockworkMod.

Can someone help?

Hi....

Earlier today I had some trouble to get the switch-off tool to work for me until it suddenly worked. It rebooted several times and showed in the upper part of the screen that it changed to s-off. :)

So far so good but later on after some reboots it asked me if wanted me to download I think it was clockwork recovery mode and than nothing happened. The phone restarted and no s-off and even worse now my phone tells me my phone is not supported at this moment what happened? :confused:

Nothing changed with it and it was supported 20 minutes earlier when I got the beta key.

Can anyone explain this for a very stupid person like me? :confused:

[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
Ok guys I tried it the first time and it worked with no problems. USA T-Mobile users make sure you download the correct file. It should be 0.3pre7.zip. One thing I did that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is I did a Factory reset.

1. Turn off phone

2. Power phone back on by holding volume down and the power button

3. Select factory reset

After doing that don’t forget to

1. Turn on USB debugging

2. Turn off fastboot

3. Don’t know if makes a difference, But I have checked “allow installation of non-market applications”

Other things to note

1. Make sure you installed HTC USB Drivers. Once done installing them

a. Plug in phone

b. right click my computer

c. click device manager

d. At the top click on Android USB Device and under that it should say “My HTC” If not you didn’t install the USB drivers correct.

2. When I plugged in my phone to the computer I selected HTC sync. I waited for it to say couldn’t find HTC sync and hit ok.

3. I made sure adb and HTC sync weren’t installed on my PC.

After all that was done I ran the revolutionary.exe. Pay attention, at the end it will ask if you want to install clockwork recovery. Make sure your computer has access to the internet, then hit yes. It will then download and install clockwork recovery. I hope this helps someone out there having issues.

Once that's done don't forget to flash the .zip file that gives you root.

I am having issues now with charging a completely dead battery, I can't boot the phone and it won't charge in recovery. I am SOL. The orange charge light comes on for two seconds and then starts flashing orange or turns off completely. Multiple tries to charge doesn't make a difference. My battery is at 3.1v right now, so I am going to try charging it with a different phone (Nexus) and getting the voltage up to 3.7. What ever you do, don't run your battery completely dead. Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4 has worked fine until this point.

Update: I spent the afternoon running around to sprint stores to find an evo battery with enough charge to flash my recovery back. Fun way to spend the day. Attached is a ZIPPED version of the orig recovery IMG and a PG58IMG.ZIP you can place on the root of your SD and HBOOT. As always, you are flashing at your own risk but it worked for me.
