i can't find the actual thread actually...hhh

idk...at least the phone still boots :P

i will look some more around...thank you :) (not being sarcastic lol)
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
you could try HTCdev - people use it only if revolutionary fails.

theres also a method using an RUU - im just trying to find the guide for you now

[HTC Sensation] arabology:
can i use revolutionary after i use htcdev?

is this what you mean by the RUU method? i have no idea though http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
another thing, Sorry if this seems a little dumb :o

But you have got USB Debugging enabled right ??
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yes, usb debugging is enabled :) actually my eyes are getting puffed.

thanks for the links, but i think i've had it. i'll go to bed and try tomorrow.

grrr why was the HD2 so much easier?!
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
i felt the same way about my SGS :)

Im lucky, I didnt have a single issue when performing S-OFF and such :)
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yeah lucky you :) if i knew this phone had a 1.18.0000 HBOOT i wouldn't have bought it...
[HTC Sensation] japinder:
You're lucky it's HBoot version isn't greater than 1.18, since this is the latest version currently supported by Revolutionary... :cool:
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i think it's supported but doesn't work...xda is full with cases like mine...
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
It works but it's finicky. Did you install HTC Sync for the drivers? Then uninstall HTC Sync. Then run revolutionary again, copy and paste the code, it's case sensitive. It sounds like it's driver related. Did Revolutionary accept the beta key? Also tick the unknown sources.

edit: Revolutionary definately works on h boot 1.18. I just checked, I have a second Sensation unrooted stock, s on with 1.18 H Boot that I just s offed and installed recovery using Revolutionary and it worked first try it ran successfully, the only downfall to that is I know have to flash stock recovery back on it to get official update ota. It's my Mom's and I keep it stock because I don't want to drive her crazy with Custom Roms and any bugs that arise from their use.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i got the drivers from the revolutionary website...do you think i should use hTC sync for drivers? but when i connected my phone the drivers were installed correctly...i can use mass storage and such...idk i'll try now :) and yes revolutionary accepted the beta key, i was actually happy everything was going smooth but then so disappointed seeing it failed to root...and about HBOOT 1.18, i did search on google and many many cases came up...so i have no idea how some works just fine and others doesn't...
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
okay, lets say i forget about the whole s-off thing. can i still be happy with my phone and flash a custom ROM lets say for example android revolution?! i can flash recovery right? through sd card? if so, what's the benefit of s-off in the first place then?
[HTC Sensation] usaff22:
HBOOT 1.18 worked perfect on my brother's phone when I rooted it, hacked HBOOT drivers installed, HTC Sync drivers installed, etc.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
*sigh*...:/
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
did you try the downgrade method ?
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
Hi, no.

i will try it later coz i'm not in the mood for another disappointment ^^'

but it seems fruitful.

can you check? i made like steps for myself, of course i got them from your links :)

-use htc drivers v3.0.0.7 (i have them)

-unlock bootloader using htcdev.

-Install custom recovery preferably CWM recovery or 4ext and install it.

-Do a NAND backup for your rom , then do a full wipe or factory reset through recovery or bootloader , Don't use Super wipe.

-Find a Custom rom 2.3.3 rooted (i have it)

-Reboot into bootloader (important, don't let it boot!)

-extract Boot.img from the same rom zip you flashed.

-then Flash it as follows :

*Bootloader should be unlocked (already done on htcdex)

*the phone should be in bootloader ( fastboot usb )

*Put boot.img inside adb folder in same place your fastboot.exe , ADB tools download for WINDOWS

*Start cmd as administrator and navigate to ADB folder which includes fastboot.exe and type fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter

*after finish , type fastboot reboot-bootloader and press enter

*Reboot , the device may reboot several times before reaching the home screen

-then after that try revolutionary again...

do you think that should be it?
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
And btw, i noticed something that could be important. the HBOOT 1.18.0000 IS supported by revolutionary BUT for the sensation XE? not the sensation?

as sensation XE standard or most common HBOOT is 1.18.0000

maybe the developers that made revolutionary only supported the HBOOT 1.18.0000 that's on the sensation XE?

i don't know, i could be wrong...just a thought.

coz i did check with the previous owner of this phone and he assures he never attempted any kind of root or tinkering with it...
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
I have two regular Sensations, you need to connect your phone in HTC Sync mode. Don't use HTC Unlock! It doesn't work well with Revolutionary. You need s off to properly flash ROMS especially ICS. Don't listen to anyone telling you to use HTC Unlock method, they are wrong, wrong, wrong! The forum is littered with posts if users who use this method and it's caused major problems, your bootloader is still locked. Relock it and try Revolutionary again. You need the Sync drivers. I have s offed 4 regular Sensations with no problems. You are definitely missing a step.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
i wouldnt resort to htcdev just yet...

Try to downgrade using an RUU or PG58IMG.zip to HBOOT 1.17 then try revolutionary again...
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
ooookay...could you PLEASE direct me to the forum concerning this? ^^"

and how to know which RUU to use? how do i know through my CID? how to find my CID...
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
Okay what im looking at at the moment is

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24595563&postcount=17

I dont really know whether or not it will work, because i have never had to resort to this and...... you are S-ON....

Im just searching around for answers, Just like you are :( It seems a tricky one this,,,, More so because 1.18 IS supported by Revolutionary.. Yet so many people have had issues with it :confused:

Im trying my hardest :) We WILL get you S-OFF and running a nice custom ROM..... I promise you that !!!

EDIT: http://www.htcsensationforum.com/htc-sensation-rooting/downgrade-hboot-1-18-0000/
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
With s on that is not possible.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
That's mor difficult than just using Revolutionary, he needs HTC Sync on his pc for the drivers. I did it last night, without sync Revolutionary didn't see the phone. As soon as I downloaded and installed the sync drivers it recognized the phone, I copied and pasted the Beta key and it worked. If he is having that much trouble there's a link on the Revolutionary site for their IRC channel, he can go there and have them assist him.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
I think we've established that..... But he has HTC Sync + necessary drivers.. Yet here we are, Still no S-OFF !

@arabology You do have the HTC sync dont you !?!?!
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
sure i do!! come on guys i'm not that noob-ish! :P
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i hope so ^-^

hehe i'm actually looking at this too!
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
haha.... Anyway im still searching... apparently *SOME* users have successfully downgraded with S-ON ....

No matter how hard i search or what i search for i keep ending up back to this part

Pfffft !! i need a cigarette

EDIT: The IRC Channel on Revolutionary isnt such a bad idea... Have you tried to join in
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i'm certain now, the RUU method won't work...it needs s-off...

oh i've found my CID, it's "HTC__038"

and my mid is: PG5813000

shipped from india

but i guess that's doesn't help a bit...
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
that's exactly what i've been meaning to do...it's also written it works with HBOOT 1.18.0000

...i guess i will have to go the long way and then come back and s-off

definitely needs a smoke :P

[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Personally I haven't had the need, they do offer support, they are great guys and very knowledgeable and if I needed their assistance I would not hesitate to join them. Seriously it is your best bet.

On a side note, try uninstalling HTC Sync and drivers, it's possible that something got corrupt in the download. I am pulling my hair out for you. Seriously, I know it works, I even did it last night to verify it working. What is your operating system?
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
I don't remember how to do it because it's been a while since I've used IRC but is anyone logged in there? You can direct a question @ someone and that will usually get someone's attention.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
My hair is shaved - If it wasnt i too would be pulling it out :)

I know it work - The facts are there...... But as to why on this occasion it isnt, Is beyond me :confused:

But as a team :) We will get there.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
windows xp service pack 3. i tried uninstalling htc sync, i actually removed all related drivers, the install it again and connect phone, remove htc sync "but not the drivers" and try revolutionary again. the phone "gets connected on revolutionary" it works!

and i even tried the 3.0.0.7 drivers"if that's the correct name i can't remember" still phone gets connected fine, revolutionary finds it. but still no S-Off!

this is not the issue i assure you.

and thank you for keep coming here to help :)
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
It may be XP is the problem. Let me do some research. I am on Windows 7, I think I read somewhere about Windows XP and Revolutionary. I will check back here.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
the only problem that's there on XP is fixed by the HTCDriver 3.0.0.007...
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
I am asuming you have adb and Net Framework installed on your pc. Also, are you logged in as administrator on XP? Is fastboot unchecked on your phone? I am searching Google for all possible fixes. Are you still in IRC have you tried typing @Revolutionary and asking your question? I see in the right plane there is a list of users and that's how you will get them to answer you you have to type @ and the user name.

I will check back in a bit.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i have adb...but it's not like installed...i got it in a zip file...should i have an installed version? i never had to use adb before...and yes net framework is installed.

the account i'm using on this pc is the only one, definitely administrator.

in the revolutionary IRC i did direct questions to users including Revolutionary but never got a reply. i then after few minutes get disconnected, i have no idea why...
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
They mentioned tacoroot, Maybe you left before that was said.

Try tacoroot then revolutionary (IDK What tacoroot is)

EDIT:

[17:06] <arabology> i need help please...anyone?

[17:07] <@paxtoncamaro91> try that then run Revolutionary`
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
omg! thank you!!!!

yes i left before seeing that! :D

i read about tacoroot before! http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...w-temporary-root-exploit-for-all-htc-devices/

but i didn't understand a thing *rolls eyes*

I've found this statement about tacoroot: TacoRoot would be an alternative rooting method that would allow you to temp root and downgrade HBOOT to unlock your NAND with a previous method.

light at the end of the tunnel?

[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
haha me neither, But its worth a shot at least :)
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
I have read that the Tacroot method has been successful for many. Just reread it until you understand it. There's a thread in development section someone linked for you earlier, I saw Tacroot works for users in that thread. You can pm the op of the thread and he is very knowledgeable and helpful, he can explain the process for you.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yes i'll try it :)

so new method is TacoRoot then revolutionary...

i'm like one of the very few that probably had to do this...
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i will do that :)

thanks a bunch. i will update my status if i get/find anything.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
HAHA !!! YES !!!

Were making progress ! i cant believe its come this far but yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel..

Its amazing how all these devices are EXACTLY the same, Yet the procedure isnt....

But make sure you know how to use it,,, It looks complicated :confused:
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yeah...i just finished university exams to find myself studying how to "TacoRoot" lol :D

i wish someone made an easy youtube video. i hope the the guide i found proves helpful.

Revolutionary Devs are aware of this difference, they should update this info about TacoRoot to stop the confusion...
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
Haha im sure they will :)

Anyway enough chatting, More learning !! Report back ASAP im so eager for you to beat this darn thing lol.
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
lol i can't agree more. wish me luck!

You dont need it !!!!

But if you do :) ** GOOD LUCK **
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i searched some more trying to find the actual tacoroot.bin and found this:

http://www.myhtc.biz/2012/htc-sensation-rooting-s-off-sim-unlock-htc-sense-guide/

now what? use this or tacoroot same as in guide?! this tool has tacoroot built in...i actually downloaded it just to get the tacoroot.bin...
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Hello... I just rooted another sensa last night after 7 months... Can I ask what mode you are connected as when you connect it to your computer while revolutionary is trying to "zerge root"? Is it charge mode, disk mode or HTC sync mode?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i tried all...charge only, mass storage mode, htc sync mode "without htc sync on pc of course" none worked...
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Ok, the reason I ask because I was in front of my computer for 30 min lol... And I tried to put it in HTC sync and pop up came on that I don't have HTC sync, I didn't press ok in the pop up, I just ignore it and then I ran revo and it work for me...

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yeah it's just my luck with this one...i did same thing you did but nada :)
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
i would use the one that has most success.. the one thats most 'tried and tested'

Or you could just try this one, then if it fails try tacoroot lol

ive no experience with tacoroot so i cannot suggest whats best
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that... I think I just got lucky because for some reason windows 7 tries to find drivers when I'm in USB debug mode and it finds it... Don't know what is stopping rev from rooting yours :(.. anyway, I think you went through all what I did on mine... I hope you'll find your luck...

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
okay...wise.

the thing is none both ways are tested much coz you can call my case "rare"

this tool can do s-off and unlocking bootloader and root...now i'm confused whether to just use it for root, then revolutionary right after, or try the s-off on this tool...

man nothing is explained well as it should be :/
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
I would use it for temp root and use revolutionary...

This tool sounds too good to be true, If it was that good it would have been mentioned and used a million times on here...

It sounds similar to the htcdev method, It will s-off but not do the complete job, meaning more stress in the long run..

It would be best ( i think) to do it the long horrible painful way (sounds tempting right?) in order to do it properly and successfully and once and once only :)

Rather do the hard work now ? or do the 'easy' way and have problems forever ??
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
i really can't understand how to do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541087

i have no prior knowledge in adb nor command prompts...

Finally!

TacoRoot did it's magic and helped me in using revolutionary! i'm no longer on HBOOT 1.18.0000 but on a graceful 1.17.1111

Thank you guys!!!!

Thank you azzledazzle! :)
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
Haha !! Buzzing :D

I knew you'd do it !!

Its not normally this hard lol, dont let it put you off !! the hard work is now done, You can enjoy flashing ROMs all day long now :)

HOOOORAAAAAY !!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
okay i just got a small heart attack lol

my happiness made me forget to run the last command for TacoRoot. as i noticed the sound of the device went after i rooted...so i went back and undid the root. good thing it worked, sound is back :)
[HTC Sensation] arabology:
yeah ^.^ i hope this thread can contribute somehow to those with similar issue :D
[HTC Sensation] Andrew-HTC:
Have just read your thread, my hat off to you and your helper's for getting your sensation to work!

I have a very similar problem I to have the 118xxx Hboot an have tried just about every method on XDA

Can you please wright up a step By step guide of what you did to get S-off and root access??

I think this may be my last resort before I kill my sensation and send it in for a replacement.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcbickers:
Hello Everyone!

I just purchased a Galaxy S2 i9100 to replace my iPhone 4. I must say this is an impressive device, and I have used them all since 2001 (Blackberry pager and converged, Treos, WiMos, etc, etc). My latest phone, an iPhone 4, was purchased to integrate media with my Pioneer radio. However, I have bought a new Ford with the Sync system. The iPhone doesn't quite use all of the functionality that the Ford Sync has to offer (mainly text integration).

My i9100 came with Gingerbread 2.3.4. Texting worked perfectly with the car but not media playback through USB. I have flashed several ROMs in search of that "perfect" one that does everything (USB media playback WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth, Pandora via Bluetooth, text alerts) but can't seem to find it. The latest CM9 comes close but no Bluetooth MAP. :(

Does anyone know if any of the Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs (stock or mod) include USB mass storage and BT at the same time and the Bluetooth MAP Profile? Thanks in advance for any and all advice, help, thoughts!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N1T15H:
same thing here ...

On my SGS2 with GIngerbread, I used to get bluetooth with MAP, so I could easily pair my HP Touchpad with my SGS2, and send/receive all my sms from touchpad ...

Now after having loaded ICS 4.0.4 ROMs, I no more find any 'Advanced' setting under bluetooth options. :-(

:confused:

hope someone can guide.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayhem8869:
In order to use USB media and Pandora over Blutooth - you need to have Pandora installed on "local" storage. You lose SD card access to applications when it becomes a "USB HDD".. And yes, I'm thinking about going back to Gingerbread and CM7 on my Rezound, in order to get my functionality back I had with Sync. My Thunderbolt connected very nicely, and would send song titles over blutooth?? POUT This is a few steps backward, not forward..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggauthie:
I have the GSIII and loaded the Sprint release of JB, the MAP profile is enabled but I noticed one potential gotcha. When you initially pair a prompt comes up on the phone asking if you want to enable MAP, also there is a checkbox to say never ask again. If I do not check it but click enable, then MAP works for that session only. Next time I connect, I get no prompt and no ability to see my text messages. You need to reset and re-pair.
