To flash AHRD you will have to have a unlocked bootloader, either by HTC Dev method or by Revolutionary method. Now as stated by you, malybru, and myself we all know Revolutionary is not compatible with Hboot 1.27.0000 (as of right now), which your device currently has. So this leaves only the HTC Dev method. Now I personally agree with others here on XDA, I would normally stay far away from unlocking via HTC Dev. But seeing as you bought your Sensation new with Hboot 1.27.0000, you really have no other alternative but to wait for Revolutionary to update or for some other means of unlocking becomes available. Also if you do manage to downgrade your Hboot you will have to use HTC Dev to do it.

Now I am in no way saying you should use HTC Dev, nor am I advocating HTC Dev. I am just trying to inform you. What you do with your device is your choice and your choice only. But what ever you do, please post back here with your decision and if applicable any results.

Also if you was wondering why you have to use HT Dev to downgrade Hboot, read this post. Yeah I know it is for GB ROMs but I imagine the same probably holds true for ICS. I mean it is the HTC Dev unlock that allowsyou to downgrade in that senario. But what do I know.
[HTC Sensation] Jalkren:
Do you mean by using Htc dev, i'll be able to downgrade my hboot?

My hboot is 1.27.0000 with S On.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is currently no way to downgrade firmware with s-on and hboot 1.27.000

:)
[HTC Sensation] tuanchuoi01:
Sure, exploit H.Boot 1.27.0000 for S-Off is revolution, new model of HTC phone is same like HTC_One :D

****ing S-ON policy HTC because you total locked us :mad:

And that is why HTC always following behind Samsung nowadays

I'm waiting XDA revolution :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 4601753:
Hi,

I'm new to this forum and new nothing about rooting until a few days ago...quickly discovered the fact that Revolution does not support 1.27.

I unlocked with HTC DEV, ran recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img using Fastboot CLI.

After that I backed up my stock Vodafone ICS ROM using CWM then switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3 and followed rest of XDA guides for installing a ROM (really useful guides - Thanks!!)

Within an hour I had gone from stock Vodafone ICS to Virtuous Inquisition-v4.0.1 :)

I'll admit I got hooked up on flashing recovery and was given some guidance by a friendly soul but figured the rest out from this forum..
[HTC Sensation] nangu:
You're right, xda is awesome!
[HTC Sensation] kareemsamman:
May I ask you some questions?

1-Was your android version before unlocking bootloader ICS?

2-Is your device S-OFF now, after unlocking bootloader?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
This is what I was trying to point out in my last post in this thread. if you have Hboot 1.27.0000 you can use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader. You should be able to flash a stock GB ROM either by SD card or RUU and revert your Hboot to 1.18.0000 or lower depending on what GB ROM version you flash. That is unless the unlocking of the bootloader is not the opposing variable, and the Hboot itself is what has the block on downgrading it. Now this this is all just theory so I am not responsible if anyone tries this and it goes bad.

Well their Android version must have been 4.0.3 as that is the version of the official update. Hboot 1.27.0000 is only in the ICS update. And seeing as they unlocked via HTC Dev it says Unlocked Shipped S-on.
[HTC Sensation] tuanchuoi01:
You may wrong, after update to ICS 4.0.3 within S-ON & H.Boot 1.27.0000, downgrade to stock GB Rom is impossible now .:D
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Lucky I found this thread.. I've had the HTC Dev S-Off for a week and so far haven't even tried to take advantage of it. My previous phone was an LG model that was ridiculously easy to root, so it took me a while to understand all this stuff about S-off etc.

I *think* that doing the Dev S-Off will not void your warranty, unless you do something that messes up the device completely. Hardware-related issues will most likely still continue being under the warranty.

So basically, if I want to root but NOT install a custom rom, I just follow what you did, but stop at switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3

?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Applying the su-2,3,6,3 is what roots your phone,

:)
[HTC Sensation] :
As someone already pointed out, I was on Stock Vodafone ICS with 1.27 HBOOT

No my device is not S-OFF but I can install custom ROMs.

In hindsight I should have been more patient and waited for Revolutionary to bring out a 1.27 compatible release because HTC DEV unlock brings its own problems (like now I have to muck around flashing boot.img because of a kernel mismatch) READ HERE
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Deja vu :D
[HTC Sensation] :
And Rusty was the helpful soul :D

Should have guessed you would be on here.

p.s I'm now fighting Wi-Fi issues.....comes with the territory I guess :p
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
I can't find the tutorial for rooting sensation with su-2.3.6.3... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] :
Its here

:)
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Thanks :) It didn't go as planned. It gives me an error 0 when I install from zip and I don't have root... Dunno why.
[HTC Sensation] :
Yeah mine managed to root ok and I installed my first ROM yesterday.

(I haven't got full S-OFF cos I went down the HTCdev unlocking route)
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Same here. It also gives me an error when I go to HBOOT. About some P8something file that isn't there. but then, I can access Clockwork just fine. Just gives me an error when I try to root!
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
I've noticed that the su update zips seem to fail on numerous phones now. Try this one: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966165&d=1332770945
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
That one installed without problems :) What about the error HBOOT gives me? It checks something when I start it and complains about P8....something... file lol. BTW this phone is super hot all of a sudden... I hope that is normal...
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
That's not an error, that's what HBOOT does, it's looking for a PG58IMG.zip file, which is an official zip containing system images. It will do that every time you enter HBOOT, on any HTC phone.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Ah ok. But it didn't find that file, is that normal? Sorry I'm a noob :(
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Unless you've put it there (there being the root of your SD card) then it wont find one.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Thank you for the help :) Rooted and happy :D
[HTC Sensation] kareemsamman:
So one last question:

To root the phone without installing a custom rom:

1-Unlock bootloader via HTCDev (Stays S-ON Though)

2-Flash Recovery images from bootloader (?)

3-Root the phone via SuperSu

am I right?

PS: HBOOT 1.27.0000
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
You are indeed.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Ok there is a new method to fully unlock and it supports Hboot 1.27.0000. It is called Juopunutbear S-OFF. You have to be HTC Dev unlocked first though to use it. I hope Revolutionary will still try to update to support Hboot 1.27.0000 cause I hate to know that if you have that Hboot version you are doomed to have to use the HTC Dev unlock.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
I wouldn't do that... Just wait till Revolutionary has a proper s-off for Hboot 1.27.

Which ROM's can I flash when I'm on the stock ICS, rooted and HTC Dev Unlocked, is my question.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Anything. I'm S-ON and unlocked, currently running my own CM9 build.

Thanks for all your info.

True that this method is very tedious task especially the wire trick part.

[HTC Sensation] freec1:
I have Sensation with S-ON and HBOOT 1.27.0000

First problem I have met, that HTCDev does not work on my device (and on others with latest stock rom), can't flash in fastboot (i.e. recovery) therefore I can't root and can't S-OFF.

Jonouputbear and Tacoroot did not work.

Any real solution?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You just need to keep trying cause many others have posted that they had trouble getting the HTC Dev unlock to work, but they did eventually get it to work. The HTC Dev unlock does work with the 1.27.000 Hboot version. If it did not the Juopunubear S-off would not hsve even been developed.
[HTC Sensation] freec1:
I tried 10 times, still no success. HTC Dev does not work with all devices 1.27.000

I have read lot of replies about complaining that. I'm constantly searching for real solution.

My documents are not opening on the "Amazon Launcher" anymore.

Once i touch the file on the grid, it "flashes" (indicating the "click/touch") but nothing happens.

Also, my Documents on the "sdcard" folder are not showing up on the "Device" tab, is there any specific folder i have to put them ?

I installed two apps "Quick Office" and "Office Suite", i dont know if it makes any difference but, who knows.

What can be happening?

Thanks in advance.

Im not sure if im too late, but i had a similar problem, and i read in a thread a ways back that to solve this, you need to go to system/app/kindleforotter.apk reinstall the app using root explorer or something similar. It solved my issue with this, i hipe it does yours.
[Kindle Fire General] marcelloLins:

Solved using your method.

I reinstalled the App, and forced a sync.

[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Hi everybody! I have some "newbie" questions about CyanogenMod 9...

1. Is it really faster compared to stock ICS? I haven't overclocked the processor and my main problem with ICS, is that the default launcher has a little stuttering some times and it's not absolutely smooth. In CyanogenMod9, the "Trebuchet" launcher is almost at the same level in terms of "movement flow".

I had Nova launcher previously and I'm thinking of installing it again on CyanogenMod 9...will this be a right move?

2. What else is better than the stock ICS there? Ι already use that marvelous power widget inside the notification bar, but, except some similar workflow tweaks, I can't see anything else...any feature list compared to the stock ICS 4.0.4?

3. Why the torch toggle-in-notification is disabled in settings? (the pre-installed torch seem to work perfectly)

4. Screen brightness gets increased when there is a lot of light around, but It doesn't decrease its brightness when I go in a dark room again...Am I doing something wrong? (I haven't touched those sensor filters etc...)

Can you please help me? I'm not a developer and I'm mostly concerned about a smooth and fast experience.
[Nexus S General] erikiksaz:
1. Make a nandroid and try it out yourself.

There is no right move. Do whatever it is you want. Your phone won't explode if you install the "wrong" launcher.

2. Take a look at the popular roms in the dev section and repeat #1. Or look at bedalus's benchmarks if you're really that apprehensive.

3. probably hasn't had the bugs worked out.

4. again, maybe a bug. After you flash a couple of roms I'm sure you'll see that you can get #3 and #4 working.

More doing and less thinking. As I said, you have a nandroid to fall back on.
[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Thanks for the response!

1. If you read carefully my post (sorry for my bad English), you will understand that I already have tried CM9 v6.0 and that was the reason I wanted to know more, because I don't see any performance improvement over stock ICS 4.0.4 on my Nexus S. Am I wrong? There must be some objective reasons except my judgement.

2. I was talking specifically about CM9 features.

3. I figured that with the torch...it's probably not ready yet. I can't find any post about the brightness though (there are so many options there which I don't fully understand and brightness never works as it should).

4. I don't want to flash other roms...I have already flashed Wildestpixel's roms and I didn't see an obvious performance difference too...
[Nexus S General] stellar:
For trebuchet if you check (or unchecked I forget) the join with apps setting it makes the launcher just as smooth as gingerbread :)
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Well, I switched from Bugless Beast today to latest CM9 nightly (15.4, not the KalimochoAz version posted on here).

Haven't tried CM9 for a while and it surprised me, speed wise and stuff integrated in it. I'm a fan of stockish ROM's, that's why I used BB since ICS came out. What made me stay is:

- integration of BLN & Voodoo sound, meaning I don't need to run those 2 apps in BG (saves memory ofcourse, I'm a sucker for optimization)

- BigMem is quite noticeable, also RAM free right after clean flash is about 200MB (vs 140MB on AOKP, which is the ****tiest, meaning when I use the apps I have in BG, there was constant launcher restart - low on RAM)

- seems like internal storage speed is faster, I noticed level loading on Where's my water game is perhaps the same as on GB (was waay slower when ICS came out)

- nice UI optional goodies in the ROM but still without AOKP "lets **** everything in" bloat (battery %, power key camera shutter, custom autobrightness levels, T9 dialer). Wanted those on BB, where they were out of question, since BB is more stockish.

- no weird governors, OC or voltages, just ondemand/cfq as on stock, don't use deep idle

So for me, it's a good sweet spot between stock and custom ROM.*

*Disclaimer:

I've used BB for months & AOKP for 2 weeks, both on SimpleKernel, which is basically stock with added BLN&Voodoo. I don't fiddle around with OC/Governors. Those are my observations and I don't intend to debate "why you didn't use "xxkernal v.9302".
[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Thanks!!! That seems to work most of the times!
[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Thanks you very much for your observations! I want superfast stockish roms too, so I guess I will stick to the latest nightly for the moment.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Today, I'm trying out the 1200 OC, works completely stable so far, playing with the phone over half an hour now. 1400 rebooted after couple minutes. Try it out !

About brightness decrease, you need to enable it in extra auto-brightness settings at the bottom.
[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Thanks for the tip! Do you know what actually happens when "system update" detects an update? What is it actually after? An official post 4.0.4 update or a CyanogenMod update? Also, what happens in each situation? Can it be updated OTA?
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
K, back to stock values, because after some time on 1200 sensors stopped working.

Nope, OTA won't work, the update is for CM I think.
[Nexus S General] turmoil4eva:
Well I've tried most of the best out there and I think cm9 is far the smoothest rom out there. So stick with it. If you want to enhance ur experience with it then try pics reloaded I just love it.

Now the only thing left is search key mod foe recent apps to be modded with cm9 v6 cuz I tried the latest and it wipes out a lot of my options.
