Sorry can't help you in this case.:(

I've confirmed with devs .

No one for sure knows where/which partition the cid is stored.

So modifying the partition won't do and its pretty dangerous which might brick your device.

So we can't change cid without fastboot command.

I'll dig further and will let you know if I got any leads

guys are you sure you are soff

i mean when you unlocked your boot loader using htcdev the bootloader reads unlocked ...but wont change s-on to s-off

so double check the s-off and if you are s-off then you guys have

a big chance to completely unlock your boot loader and also get supercid :D

so if you guys are soff then flash the latest firmware package again

then you'll get both soff and supercid

here is the firmware thread :D

"Revolutionary did not work for me...." = not s-off.

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yeah i know but i just want to here from them just to make sure :D

someone might try revolutionary to get the bootloader unlocked (or not :rolleyes:)
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
You are clearly **unlocked** but still S-ON.

Use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then supercid devices.

Beta key is case sensitive so be sure to digit it correctly (usually this is the main reason why it doesn't work at first attempt).
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Revolutionary does not work because i have HBOOT 1.27.0000 and that is not surported. WOW! just checked i do indeed have s-on! how do i turn it off? Is there anyway to downgrade HBOOT?
[HTC Sensation] kualmente:
You cannot. As you said actually Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27 :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
revolutionary does two things

1.unlock your bootloader completely (unlike HTCdev which unlocks partly)

2.S-off your device

Right now you are out of luck

but there 2 promising developments happening which might get s-off on hboot 1.27

here are the threads

Done Now B)
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Sorry, I was new to this actually. I only unlocked the bootloader. I was/am still S-ON.. Anyway to get to S-off? Or suppose I get an official OTA update from HTC (which I think I will get though I have unlocked my bootloader), will everything be back to how it was when I bought it?? So that I can start everything afresh with Revolutionary method. I am not going to htc dev method again! :(

Please help. :)

Thank you!:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1.you want get SOFF ->right now you are out of luck

just wait for 2 promising tools which claim to downgrade your HBOOT ...i've mentioned them in my previous posts and subscribe to them

2.If you want to flash a custom rom....then you still have a chance ...but only couple of roms though :D

(you did have custom recovery flashed right....CWM i guess)

if your option is 2 let me know ill guide you through further steps :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Option 2! :D

Yeah, i do have Clock Work Mod 5.0.2.0 now.. Option 2 agreed! :D :)

What is the next step?

Thanks for help. :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
happy flashing :D

you can install roms which support stock kernel...and out of them i think ARHD is the best one...(im using the same thing see my sig :cool:)

so Ill guide you to ARHD installation

1.First ARHD requires 4EXT Recovery...i think CWM also works but in my case when i initially tried with CWM it failed so better update your Recovery to 4EXT

get 4EXT from here

4EXT Recovery

also after updating 4EXT using recovery updater enable smart flash on for the recovery (you'll understand these terms when you read the recovery thread)

2.get the latest ARHD ROM (XE or NON XE anything would do ->difference is just beats) from ARHD thread and keep it in the root of your SD card :D

ARHD thread

3.follow the steps from

"[ Update ] Alternative Method to Flash Boot.img for Custom Roms" sub section from this thread to successfully install a custom ROM. (you can skip steps until booting into recovery if you are able to successfully install 4EXT otherwise get the recovery image from the dropbox link im providing and follow all the steps from the same section )

[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
The annoying thing is for me, i had a sensation xe had it rooted, recovery, s-off, unlocked bootloader. Then it broke. So i sent it back, got a new one with the ICS firmware. Then tried put all the dev stuff back on and then I've got into this whole thing :/ I was planning on testing Sense 4 but I'm gonna have to wait! This is gonna be hard but atleast with all of your help ill have a thread that ill be checking every minute :D still a bummer though ;) and now I know whats wrong :D

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

It says you have to have the custom ICS firmware though? Also you can get 4EXT recovery from the market ;) i have it. Also any Sense 4 roms which have stock kernel? Again thank you so much for your help!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yeah you need to have ics firmware which is the same one when you've updated to ics ota so nothing to worry(afaik only 3.32 firmware gives 1.27 hboot so viceversa is also true)

Also as you said any sense4 roms can be installed too if they support stock kernel...if they don't support stock kernel then you might and probably will have lot of problems running that rom. So confirm with corresponding sense4 Rom dev/thread whether stock kernel works or not .Also custom roms doesn't require supercid unless and until the Rom's OP mentions it
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Thanks, also dont understand how the second link you posted when talking about how to get s-off could help us?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Are you talking about the unlocked firmware thread ive posted????

Yeah thats a typo

But what I meant is if you got soff but have HTC dev unlocked bootloader you can still flash the lastest unlocked firmware through PG58IMG.zip method and then you can get revolutionary unlocked firmware + supercid too :D

(Unlocked HTC dev bootloader won't let you use extended fastboot commands so even if you are soff but have that ****ty bootloader you cannot sypercid)

EDIT: I've seen your original post again and something is bugging me ..you have 1.27 HBOOT so tecnically you will have 3.32 firmware so why are you flashing firmware again???

[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Not working!

The recovery flashed successfully with the apk but after I installed the ARHD ROM and rebooted it , its stuck at the HTC screen. :( What can I do now? I've restored my stock HTC rom for now.

Thank you! :)
[HTC Sensation] twistedelegance:

Have you tried flashing boot.IMG which is extracted from the leaked RUU using fastboot command???

also try flashing the boot.img extracted from the ARHD Rom zip (get the stock boot.img)

[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
I'll give it a whirl with OrDroid. Where can i find the boot.img file?

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i think ordroid dosen't support stock kernel (or it might support :confused:)

anyways im attaching the boot.img (this is stock kernel) which should be flashed after flashing the ROM..

dropbox link
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
flashed using adb with cmd? (the boot.img)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
should be flashed using fastboot

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

EDIT: follow the sub section

"How to flash Boot.img in Bootloader " from this thread for flashing boot.img

click here
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
It's worked! Thank you! Turns out I have no use for S-OFF anyways B)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yippe :D:D:D

Glad it worked :D

but make sure you didn't have any wifi errors or any other errors

read "WiFi Error and Custom Rom's' sub section in the previous thread I've posted

which briefly explained the reasons for errors which might come in handy for you :D
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
No WiFi errors! EVerything seems to be working excellently!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
thats great

but when the tool for soff comes be sure to do it....then you'll have the privilege of installing custom kernels

like faux's,sebastian,bricked kernel which are awesome and can be overclocked :eek::D

now only "vipulnj" left ...im sure he'll understand what you have done and hopefully that will solve the issue for him too :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Clarifcation

Guys, I just need to clarify.

I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader using htc dev method with S-ON. have 4ext recovery now. I had the ordroid rom (which doesn't run on the stock kernel as we know). I tried installing the ordroid rom but unsuccessful. But what "Zd0s" is saying is, though he is in same situation as I am, he was able to flash the Ordroid rom when he did flash using boot.img. Is this understanding of mine 100% right?

Even I want to flash ORDROID. :D

Please respond. :)

Thank you! :)
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
recovery used?

Can we use 4ext recovery to install Ordroid?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you need to flash rom first (ORDROID in your case)

then again reboot to boot loader ->fastboot

then flash the boot.img Ive provided earlier using fastboot command

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

then reboot ...all done :D

Yeah 4Ext supports all custom ROM's installations afaik :D

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Now coming to the explanation what ROM supporting Kernel Means

1.Almost all roms supports almost all kernels (faux,sebastian,bricked,anthrax,rcmix ..etc)

2.But every rom provides only 1 Kernel of their choice

(except some like ARHD -> provides 3 kernel choices)

for ordroid ->bricked kernel i guess

3.People after flashing their ROM also try different kernels...(ive seen people

using faux kernel on top of Ordroid)

4.But in case of bootloader unlocked by HTC dev... the boot.img partition where

kernel will be kept is locked...and only stock kernel is supported

5.So when flashing custom rom ..the boot.img will not be overwritten by

boot.img of the ROM we are flashing and it somehow messes up the whole

OS...which results in bootloop or other errors.

6.So to bypass those problems we need to flash the stock boot.img again after

flashing the ROM which will turn the device Normal :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Stuck on boot loop!

I'm stuck on boot loop after i flashed boot.img. Now what do I do? I had made some back-ups while i was using the CWM. can i restore those?

Please help. I'm feeling very tensed and don't know what what to do!!!:confused::(:(

Please respond!
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Leave the phone for 10 minutes and see if it boots up. Mine looped a couple of times then took about 10 minutes to boot up

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Also you need to flash the boot.img before you try start the phone or anything. Power down then go straight to fastboot after flashing
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
+1 to that ...In The thread also the person said itll take couple of reboots for the phone to be stable :D

this is what was said in the thread :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
I'm feeling really scared. I'm trying to restore my phone back-up. But the CWM back-up doesn't seem to be working on 4ext recovery. It says that back-up was successful but still stuck on bootloop. What do i do next?

:( :(
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Install a fresh rom on your computer, then go to mount. mount usb storage and copy the rom over. Then do all the wipes and install rom.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Also just so you know to flash the boot.img file you need to move it into your adb folder and then flaswh it via cmd
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ohh you tried to backup ??

this time clean/wipe "cache + dalvik "

then install rom again...

reboot to bootloader now -> 4EXT recovery ->boot options

and then flash boot.img using fastboot command

then reboot

let it reboot for couple of times...as it is supposed to happen (make sure to plugin USB to the phone to provide power just to prevent shutdown)
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Also just so you know to flash the boot.img file you need to move it into your adb folder and then flash it via cmd whilst phone is in fastboot connected to pc with USB
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
There is "Android" being shown on the screen and six minutes have passed. Am I on the right path?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
only "Zd0s" can answer that :(
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
The boot animation on Ordroid should first display the HTC logo. Then htc quietly brilliant with a black backdrop. Then that all turns into Htc sense. The sense reforms to make sensation. After about 10 minutes on first boot. It should boot up. hope this has helped
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
I need either a back-up or successfully install the ARHD rom Now, I waited for around 12 minutes but it isn't moving from that ANDROID screen. Guide me through the safest way. Please!!
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Install the ARHD rom on your PC then copy the file over through recovery, then you should be able to install (remember to wipe!). Then leave phone for 10 minutes and hopefully it will boot.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you are struck at Android screen...but not bootlooping?

final try

1.this time do a factory reset/ wipe data from 4EXT recovery (will lose apps but once you setup your google account youll apps will be automatically installed)

do a full wipe or factory reset through recovery or bootloader , Don't use Super wipe

2.then install the rom again through recovery

3.then boot into bootloader (fastboot usb) from 4EXT

4.flash boot.img using fastboot command

(make sure the image is not corrupted)

5.then do normal reboot by typing

fastboot reboot bootloader

6.wait for another 10 minutes (note bootloop/restars should happen)

this is mentioned in another guide

which happens after flashing custom rom

Reboot into bootloader , ( for some roms , if you let the rom boots maybe it will be stuck on htc splash screen or getting boot loops because it needs its boot.img )
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
Guys. This is not working i guess. I just want to restore now. i have one backup after i installed 4ext recovery and two back-ups of CWM. Help me get back to stck HTC rom!! Please!!! :(:(:(
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
You won't be able to recover the CWM stuff. You can get a stock rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 then move it to your SD card and flash it.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
well your call then :D

try wiping cache + dalvik

then restore from backup

use the 4EXT backup first :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
TENSED!!!

This will work for sure, right? I've my heart in my mouth!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
im trying to get that

but first give me some details

1.is your HBOOT 1.27????

2.post your radio too

3.Unlocked via HTC dev with s-ON ?

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

whats getting me confused is that you are struck at splash screen itself rather than having bootloops so im having doubts about you firmware
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
1. no, its 1.18

2. I'm restoring back-up now.. Hope its successful. I will post it soon.

3. Yes, unlocked via HTC dev bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ohhh really:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

then revolutionary will work man :D

and when you mean stock HTC rom you mean GB but not ICS????

ahhh you can unlock your bootloader man

that's so simple :D

The problem here is the firmware won't support ICS you need to update it :D

I'll tell you the sure way to get revolutionary work for you.....

let me know if you want that
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
No, i'm boot looping now... I just restored my 4ext back-up. Lets see what happens.
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
WOW! Revolountary will work! First you gotta get a working rom that boots! Then you can S-OFF! This explains sooo much, like why OrDroid didn't work!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you will and it wont settle of course because of firmware issues

:D

check my previous post again :D
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
This will work for you :)

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
which rom/RUU is that ??

@vipulnj

can you post your cid "fastboot getvar cid"

which model of sensation XE or normal?

post radio too

I'll get the corresponding RUU based on those parameters

PS: recovery from backup mostly might not work...if it worked let me know ASAP ill get revolutionary working for you :D
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
I tried Revolutionary method and it didnt work. That is the reason I went through the HTC dev method. i'm boot looping now even after wiping cache+dalvik... nothing seems to be working now... Anyway out?
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
Its gingerbread digitized. WIll work fine
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
man i should have asked your HBOOT version initially itself ..as you did HTC dev unlock i thought you had 1.27 its a mistake from my part...im sorry :D

revolutionary should have been a piece of cake...if you didn't flashed ordroid

now that you've flashed ordroid it messed up partitions completely and we need to restore it for that we require an RUU

so give me the details that i've asked earlier and ill get you the corresponding RUU

PS: Dont worry your case is completely resolvable and what not your HBOOT is 1.18 thats a huge plus :D

try flashing the rom posted by "Zd0s" and if you were able to boot up to device let me know then well do revolutionary
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
The restore is not working. The last time I checked CID was HTC_038. Mine is the Normal version. How do I check the radio? I don't know how to.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
radio will be on HBOOT screen

when you said revolutionary failed means revolutionary exited with "cant acquire root access " error right ?
[HTC Sensation] vipulnj:
My HBOOT screen reads:

***UNLOCKED***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.18.0000

eMMc-boot

Aug 2 2011, 22:35:52

Does that help?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
it should be something like this

*** LOCKED ***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.18.0000

RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2

eMMC-boot

Aug 2 2011,22:35:52

ohh may be radio was hidden after HTC dev lock...

anyways skip getting radio and first flash the zip posted by "Zd0s" using recovery

right now we just require some working rom to be installed
[HTC Sensation] Zd0s:
The bootloader shouldn't be locked because we unlocked it using htcdev so the bootloader should be unlocked which it is so thats good :)

THis is the rom that i posted the zip for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1305340&highlight=gingerbread

So I used the touchnooter instructions in the developers forum to root my Simple Touch, everything went smoothly until I went to install programs from the Amazon store and after downloading I received the "For security reasons" message that said my device blocked applications not sourced from the Market. I searched around for how to undo this setting, and it said to open an application called Nook Touch Settings and change the setting to allow outside applications. The problem is that the Settings application is not on my device. Is there something wrong with the ROM or my installation? Is this something that can be fixed without starting all over again?

Thanks.

There are two solutions:

Load Nook Touch Tools from somewhere and use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you port a higher CPU ROM to my lower CPU device?

A: P.M me or any big-name developers. You must already know what to do. The person you P.M will give you extra info... :cool:

Q: Is it possible to port a lower CPU ROM to my higher CPU device?

A: I think it'll work (But why would you do this:confused:). If it doesn't boot try changing the DPI values in the build.prop

Q: How do I make a bigger DPI ROM work on my smaller DPI device?

A: Resize all PNGs in every app & framework-res using Android Resizer Tool

Q: Can I Port a smaller DPI device to my device?

A: Yes. It probably won't run & it wouldn't look good if you did. The icons would be small or if you resized it, the icons would be blurry.​

Peteragent5 your arm7 port rom problem solve from this way?:)
[Android General] Peteragent5:
You can port any Rom as long as it's based on CM7/GB/Stock Rom, the same CPU (Armv6, Armv7, Armv5) as your BASE, and it's best to port a Rom from the same manufacturer, if not, you can still do it, just change BOOTCLASSPATH

[Android General] Reviewers:
I finished this and the ROM won't boot.

I tried the Base as a Sense 3.0 (2.3.4 Gingerbread ROM)

porting a Sense 4.0 (4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich ROM)
[Android General] Peteragent5:
They must both be CM7 :)

Sense is quite hard, to be honest. I'm still trying to figure out how I should do it ;)

As long as both PORTED and BASE is the same CPU, this guide will work.

Because. The build.prop in PORTED has more values than than the one in BASE. So if we use BASE's Build.prop, you'd have to copy over everything that was in the PORTED (The extra values, like tweaks and some more stuff) ;)
[Android General] Peteragent5:
Sense is hard to port is you are from a different Manufacturer.

But if you are not, this is what you need to do:

Your BASE needs to be an ICS Base in order to port the Sense 4.0 :)
