[HTC Sensation] Charlie3999:
I really need your help. I have s_off two phones already and my friend asked me to do his. I did the dev unlock and then tried to s_off with juopunutbear. It didn't work I keep trying it and it keeps rebooting after I touch it with the wire once. It won't even boot to android anymore it just sits there with the juopunutbear screen showing and that's it. I can't understand as I'm doing the same as I did with my other two phones.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You can revert back the phone to normal condition.. Check the troubleshoot point #3 of my soff guide.. Link in my signature
[HTC Sensation] 5ageman:
I didn't use this guide, but I basically did the same thing and it works. I SOFFed my HBOOT 1.29 Sensation XE on second try. Did the HTCDev unlock first, pulled the SIM card out, used an insulated telephone wire.

@Charlie3999 Are you sure you are using insulated wire. Try with another wire.
[HTC Sensation] jacobq11:
HELP!!!!!

i really need some help. i was fallowing THE s-ff tutorial and i needed to take off the back plate to to the wire trick and now i'm screwed. i cant boot anything. not even factory reset. ONLY HBOOT what do i do??
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:

[HTC Sensation] _RiVeRsIDe_:
After some attempts to do s-off on my sensation i get a problem with my micro sd. Now when micro sd in phone it says "it is safe to remove memory card". And cant mount. Is it posissible to fix it?

Solved. Formated on pc, then in 4ext recovery.
[HTC Sensation] realceday:
Thank you i will try.
[HTC Sensation] :
I wonder how some people got so lucky with 5 try gaining S-off..

Myself have been trying hundred of times and different kind of wire but still no S-off..

Time to change your sdcard then

Ok I try now..
[HTC Sensation] Thermaltake868:
Need help asap!

I download temproot-sensation-windows.rar extract it and run that temp_root.bat I turn debugging ON, remove check from fastboot after I run temp.root.bat, and now I got System UI error on OS startup, I tried to run Juopunutbear for windows Ice cream sandwich ControlBear.exe and he got me into bootloader(from that menu when I need to enter my pin becouse when I do I got loading all that time and when I try to touch something he got me that msg. System UI error.) after that some ADB is waiting and he got me error, what I am doing wrong ? Do I need to flash some boot.img from 3.32 firmware ? hboot is 1.27.0000

here is screenshot so you could better understand me:
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
Try with my experience( I've only 1 time to s-off some friend's device): you must trick 2 time - first trick -done -pull out the cable and say:1,2,3 then trick the second time and stop to waiting for controlbear load and waiting again for result( between 2 time wite-trick must be a little fasted). If was not s-off do this again and again( maybe 3-4 time) you should be done. 5 time is max time for me to s-off 1 device.

JuopnutBear logo screen

Hi,

I'm new and clearly noob ..with bad english writing too. Sorry for that.

I need your help !

HTC Sensation - ROM ICS from my operator (no coocked ROM)

HBOOT 1.27.0000

S-ON

RADIO 11.29A.3504.18_M

HTC dev UNLOCKED

Following this thread, I was at the step of trying S-OFF in respect with pre-requisites (HTC sync uninstalled, Anti-virus disabled, fastboot off)

I did several mistakes by runing controllbear.exe application (juopunutBear):

1- I forgot to temproot first !!

2- I forgot to remove the chassis with USB blocking it and couldn't practice the wire trick when the Control Prompt asked me !!

> As the Control Prompt ask me for Wire Trick, I stopped by "Ctrl C", then Control Prompt said error

Now on the screen of my phone there is just the JuopnutBear logo and my device won't restart otherwise

As I press Vol- and Power button I can see those screens :

then

If I do [Fastboot then Reboot], or [Recovery then Reboot] I got the JuopnutBear logo again

If I do [Factory Reset] I come back to:

Is that a brick ?

If not, please help me, reminding I'm a noob.

Thanks all.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Nope not brick... Start with Controlbear again..
[HTC Sensation] deltaman666:
Thanks Ganeshp, I found and was just reading your thread Problems ?.

Did you consider that I made the mistake of not running temproot first (I'm not ROOT) ?..

What will happen after the wire trick in this case ?..

Really thanks to help !
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
If you did htcdev unlock then you need root first to use this tool ..and if you want you can use temp root too ..but don't forget to remove temp root once you've done soff ;)
[HTC Sensation] deltaman666:
I did HTCdev UNLOCK.

But I wasn't ROOT and din't perform TEMPROOT before my first attempt in ControlBear.

Cause of not remove chassis and forget TEMPROOT I aborted ControlBear at the Wire Trick step.

I was stuck on the juopunutBear screen.

As you told me I perform ControlBear again and the Wire Trick works.

Now my Bootloader says S-OFF but.. I'm LOCKED again.

I followed this from you:

I did it with a CID : VODAP203 (my device/operator is SFR, close to VODAPHONE).

Now I've got =JuopunuBear= and S-OFF

Q: What to do with TEMPROOT (I never performed) now ????
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did you performed temp root earlier? Then remove it other wise you are done with soff
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
Hi everybody,

sorry for noob question, but I tried to search the thread about it with no success... :angel:

In the OP the author suggests to flash the stock ROM before starting the S-OFF procedure. Is the ROM linked also good for the Sensation XE?

I remember that Gingerbread stock ROMs were different for these two devices...

Could not get it to work now now i cant reset phone

I spent a good 2 hours trying to get it to work and now I can't get it to work. I think I ruined the copper contact as well, which is fine but now my factory reset wont work. Whenever I turn on the phone it just goes to the juopunutbear screen. I booted into recovery and tried flashing the stock pyramid, that didnt work. I hit factory reset in recovery and that did not work. I also tried factory reset from fastboot and that did not work. Help?
[HTC Sensation] Samer Diab:
Same thing happlened to me stayed all night on it the problem was the the cable when i used another cable it worked perfectly try using other cable and rap it with tape just where you put your fingers.

Now it might be from the counting try doing like *one onehundread two twohundread* but i bet its on the cable . Donf freeckout like i did its not bricked just try another cable or flash firmware.

Good luck mate
[HTC Sensation] DanVan42:
Alright I will try another cable

also for the record i tried comandbear -r and it told me "Device should be in normal boot mode" :\

I honestly think i chipped off the copper though, i saw a little piece one time after i pulled out my paper clip

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 AM ----------

S-OFF is no longer a big deal for me, I just want a functional device, going to be using it hooked up to the tv anyways so custom rom is no biggie

EDIT: controlbear -f did the trick

for future googlers

First right click controlbear exe and go to properties then go to compatibility and check the box that says "run as admin"

Boot your phone into fastboot

1) search CMD in your start menu

2) right click run as admin

3) navigate to where you extracted control bear by typing CD C:\Android (or wherever you extracted commandbear)

4) type controlbear -f

Hello ppl.

I have htc sensation (pyramid) with unlocked bootloader and s-on,with 3.32fw and it is rooted and it has cwm touch recovery already installed.I wanted to flash some custom rom,but saw this guide and I am glad that I did not proceed with rom flashing.

So my question is,can I follow this guide to gain s-off??

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes as of now you can.. But before continuing.. Please make sure you meet the present in my soff guide... Link in my signature.. Just follow prerequisites section.. Rest do from this guide

So basically I have to have these htc drivers installed and follow all the steps even if I already have cwm rec. installed?I got this phone which already had bootloader unlocked.So i just stumbled on this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553 and gain root and cwm.I also have some Swisscom logo when booting.Is this ok?I ask this because I already have stock ics rom and recovery,so I am wondering can I just proceed from step 4 to gain soff?

BTW what is going on with htcdev site??It is down for days
[HTC Sensation] intesarhaider:
Thanks.. this guide worked well.. SOFF my phone on second try.. but im stuck on the last part.. few question..

1- What is recovery? you have given 2 links. which link should I choose? either touch or normal ? or both?

2- how to run the commands you given in quotes?

should I connect my phone with cable having USB debugging on and run these commands on the CMD?? CORRECT ME IF WRONG..

NEVER MIND IM NEW TO ROOTING STUFFS>> anyhow rooted my phone and done with sOFF too.. :)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
put the recovery.img in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files

open a command window in that folder

boot your device into bootloader

connect it via usb to pc(it should say fastboot)

then in the command window do these commands

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

also enable usb debugging mode from settings

Hey - I cannot unlock using HTCDEV website

I have a sensation XE with beats audio from vodafone ( australia )

by this question u might have already guessed that im new to this - -

i wanted to root my phone - my phone is from vodofone unlocked ( for other SIM card's )

on HTC DEV website - after i click on unlock - the page asks me to log - i did - i goes back to the same page - nothing happens

i did install HTC drivers on PC - device is working fine

am i missing something here ?

*** if i did not do enough research - please respond or ill get back to searching - - i did some research and cannot find anything

do you follow the steps corrrectly?

bootloader is unlocked, hboot 1.27, ics 4.0.3, software 3.32.401.3

followed the instructions, superwiped, dl/flashed the stock rom, uninstalled htc sync, have all the drivers already

but I can't get pass this for some odd reason, I searched the thread but failed to find anything that was able to solve it.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did you enabled USB debugging in settings-developer options?
[HTC Sensation] shohoku007:
yep,

don't know if this helps or not, i went to the controlbear folder and tried fastboot devices, it was listed there as well

just don't know what is missing

i tried it once with fastboot off, same result
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
fastboot devices ..showing your device means

drivers are proper

also you are saying USB debugging is enabled

can you manually test the adb connection ?

using command

adb devices

if it is indeed showing your device then ..the connect might not be proper/enough

dont use usb hubs only use usb 2.0 ports no usb 3.0 port either

also if you are using PC ..connect the device to the back USB ports

NOTE: did the controlbear zip you downloaded have NOHTCDEV in its name ? if so then you have downloaded the wrong tool ..get the right one

john lagaoth

so the phone is on, in it's home screen and I run adb devices command (from controlbear folder)

C:\Users\Dustin\Desktop\ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN>adb devices

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

SH186V600919 device

C:\Users\Dustin\Desktop\ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN>fastboot devices

get no fastboot devices cuz i'm not in fastboot mode

this is what i get when i'm in fastboot and running the commands

controlbear is ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN

Still the same error?

Then I'm not sure what else can be missing.. Pop in IRC channel of unlimited and ask them directly
[HTC Sensation] shohoku007:
thanks for all the suggestions and help, i've read most of those tips earlier and tried it already, can't figure out what i'm missing still

one last question, does it matter if fastboot is on or not??
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Its not necessary to be off.. But better uncheck the fastboot button as it helps you to go to bootloader easy
[HTC Sensation] shohoku007:
don't get why it's stuck at testing adb

I'm on win7 64 bit, i read on the site that it only supports 32bit, maybe that's the problem?

adb devices shows it's listed when i'm not in fastboot, so i run the controlbear right after and gets stuck on testing adb lol, frick

thanks anyways man, appreciate your help
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
That might be the problem.. But people did get success even on 64 bit machines
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Is it safe to proceed to follow this guide to gain s-off right from step 4 if I already have stock rooted rom with cwm recovery installed??

I am little confused with all these steps.So,drivers are installed,java too,sdk also and everything is set up.My phone is recognized and all stuff installed.

So can I just follow this guide from step 4??Do I need to flash boot.img from my curent stock rom and is it ok if this cwm recovery is already installed?That is what is bothering me.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes just start from step #4
[HTC Sensation] m3mmo:
Thanks m8,just one more question.Does the phone have to be turned on and connected from its desktop and then run j.bear or I first enter bootloader and then connect my phone and then run j.bear??

oops i thought i replied to this

sorry :)

remove back cover ..then connect normally (home screen/lock screen) then run controlbear

btw, im a totaly noob, so sorry if im make any stupid question
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
If you want to S-OFF, this can be done with or without HTC Dev unlock.

The method that doesn't use HTC Dev unlock takes longer as the wire trick timing needs to be more accurate.

As for the question regarding registration, check your spam email.

If you don't see it, just create a different account.
[HTC Sensation] wess786:
Hi.

I flashed the stock ROM in the first post, but when I boot I only get to see the HTC logo without sound and suddenly the screen goes black but is still on. After some seconds the screen goes fully black and reboots. I got a nandroid backup from the stock ROM I first had. Should I restore that one?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did you flashed the boot.img separately as mentioned in the op?

Otherwise restore the stock backup you had.. But in that case you need to flash boot.img again
[HTC Sensation] wess786:
After a second try to flash the stock ROM it worked. Going further with the tutorial now. ;)

i did it , just 3 try's and wire trick done :D :D: D :D
[HTC Sensation] odj1041:
Am I suppose to make contact with the paperclip during wiretrick? And do I use 2 paperclips instead of one or one broken into two pieces? I've done wire trick over 100 times. I need to unlock my phone before I go to Haiti. Is there anyway I can S-OFF without wire trick?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no only with wire trick you can S-OFF

and use one paperclip not two

maybe you are failing in the contact timing

try again

[HTC Sensation] Scramjet:
Hey guys, if there's a way to get RID of this S-OFF, I'm welcome to hear it. I want my warranty back and think I have pretty much messed up my phone. WiFi doesn't work, it gives "Error" when I try to turn it on, and stuff. I want to get it fixed without going to the HTC Service Centre... and I want to get back the stock S-ON bootloader, not JuopunutBear. Please help.

Oh, and auggie2k, a possible reason why I'm getting the wifi error may be because your rooted ROM version is 3.32.401.3, while my stock version is 3.32.707.110. I think the 3rd set of numbers makes a difference. So where do I get a stock ROM that's my version?
[HTC Sensation] auggie2k:
Well in my guide, at the top I highly recommending backing up and starting fresh with a clean stock ROM (I posted) and then running Bear.

But if S-OFF was successful, you need to do the same procedure I explained in my last post and extract the boot.img out of your 3.32.707.110 ROM ZIP instead and flash that in Fastboot to resolve the Wi-Fi error. This error has been around a while and it's what fixed my issue initially.

[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Probably a mis-match between kernel and wifi module... just use an RRU to return to (mostly) stock. You will still be S-OFF, but everything else will be stock. Also being S-OFF isn't really a reason for HTC to refuse you a warranty claim.

I sent my Nexus One to HTC to be repaired, and it came back from them as S-OFF (it was S-ON when I sent it, as no-one had bothered figuring out how to S-OFF them 'til recently).
