Dude.. You didn't meet the pre-requisites for soff.. You need to un install htc sync.. Also no usb 3.0 ports or usb hubs.. If on pc... Connect the device to back usb ports...

Ok, I'm really struggling here! I'm using the Sensation XE on UK carrier 3, htcdev unlocked, rooted, and trying to S-off. Everytime I use the wire trick the phone powers off, the script searches for my phone and fails to find it, so I turn it back on and get the...

Any takers?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The phone powering off after wire trick means.. The pause during wire trick is too much..

Reduce the pause time a bit

I.e

Try this during wire trick

0.5 second proper touch------ 1.5 seconds pause ------0.5 second proper touch

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] PabloCreep:
Thanks - I've been trying this for two days now!! I may need a different wire tbh as it doesn't always register the first touch, so I'm wondering if it's powering off because it's not registering the second. Does it matter when the first touch is? Does it need to be in sync with the messages in the script window?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes powering off because the second touch didn't registered properly..

Get a better wire.. Which is thin enough to enter the hole.

Also the wire trick start need to to be sync With messages (starting wire trick too late after the prompts causes phone to switch off too) .. But Once started the above pattern should be met..

What can i do guys ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
No worries... There is a deep sleep state the phone might go.. When wire trick done not properly... (pretty rare)

To Come out of it... Remove sim, battery, and sdcard and charge the phone for 5-6 hrs with usb cable connected to power outlet. The phone will sprung back to life :)

[HTC Sensation] mericyucel:
I would like to understand one thing because I'm not sure whether or not it's important. I had older hboot version before and I did s-off with revolutionary and I did also superCID thing. Then I returned to s-on by given method but didn't change my cid to t-mobile version again. So now my hboot has been updated to 1.27 and I'm no longer able to use revolutionary but still having superCID. It comes different versions of my sensation on htcdev website to unlock bootloader which one I should select?

Sorry for bad English...
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I don't think cid matters.. So first try the option for your actual device only... If it fails try the others

[HTC Sensation] chadsin:
Thanks! Got it on the second try!
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Sorry, posted in the wrong thread, I thought this was ganeshp's thread, didn't check. :/
[HTC Sensation] bajji93:
don't worry

since because your hboot version is 1.27, you can no longer use revolutionary tool to s-off or rewrite your superCID.... but you've got juopunutbear to do it... you can find the way to do it in my signature and it also also have a help channel to make you clear about it ;)

Not able to flash custom recovery (s-off)

Q1

- I did the wire trick, got it S-off

- Got the root tool from the guide, and said it rooted

now I'm trying to flash a custom recovery via adb, but it shows : FAILED <remote: not allowed>

Q2

-I installed rom manager, but it still requesting root access from superuser

Q3

Since I now got it S-off on Hboot 1.27....can I still flash via bootloader using PG58IMG

worked like a charme

First and foremost big thanks for making this awesome hack possible

I got to admit, I doubted after the 25 try, I though it was BS apps

and I´am going to get fried by my uncle :cowboy: for bricking his HTC

but but to any one who doubt,

I followed the animation time and I used two stapler clip, they fit perfectly in to slot. and did not rock.

thanks thanks thanks

off i go to some custom roms.

NB: i will never again advise any one by HTC, i got a S2, rooting that was like a child play. HTC bad dog

happy hacking :victory:
[HTC Sensation] sanvara:
This guide is FANTASTIC. I got s-off on the first try on my Sensation and just did this method on an Evo3D and got s-off on the first try with that as well. I used a paperclip on both. So that's all you need.
[HTC Sensation] Vadwiser:
Paperclip used here too. Method successful after second wire trick. Big thanks, cant wait to put some custom roms on my Sense Xe, cause the stock rom is quite a POS:laugh:

Reboot happens normally after wire trick (tap-pause-tap)

Also for proper wire trick the gif picture is there

Also 1 guy made a small recording which assists in wire trick too (search this thread for this)

You can have countless references as to how to do wire trick.. Search search

So I can flash my stock ROM without S-Off and my Wifi will work properly?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
This is OT.

Yes, you can flash ROMs on unlocked 1.2x Hboot without S Off.

Flashing ROMs with S On not advised unless you can find 3.32 base RUU for you phone.
[HTC Sensation] retsek84:
whats OT?

I am using H-Boot 1.29 Htc Sensation XE 715. My Problem is my phone came with Hboot 1.29 and when trying to get onto Wifi it doesnt seem to connect with it saying Out of Range. How best can I have the Wifi Work?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
OT = off topic

i humbly suggest you to ..search(which you will find it pretty easily) /post your questions in the Q&A section

people who come to do SOFF and reach this thread ...dont want to think that they reached some other thread ..seeing these off topic discussions ..so please refrain from OT posts :)

Problem with Super Wipe

Hi there!

I have followed procedure of Flashing ROMs with Hboot 1.27 S-On along with your wire trick S-Off. Now I am S-Off, Rooted, CWM and SuperCID with Hboot 1.27.1111.

Now I am facing a problem while performing Super Wipe either with ARHD or Aroma. The wipe function is simply aborted by the sensation and goes to next step in both Aroma and ARHD Super Wipe.

Any suggestion for the problem? And why I am Hboot 1.27.1111 whereas my other HTC Sensation is Hboot 1.27.1100 which was S-Off through Revolutionary method.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The number of the hboot determines the soff method you used

1.27.1111 represents you did soff using Juopunutbear and has juopunutBear hboot

1.27.1100 represents you did soff using revolutionary and had revolutionary hboot

Now I think the superwipe script is not working properly is because of the custom recovery you are using.

I believe you are using Cwm which is not compatible with superwipe and ARHD installation

Just flash 4EXT recovery manually

Then use the superwipe and all scripts

To flash 4EXT do the step 2 from the below guide

[HTC Sensation] jheysl2:
one question, can u re-lock the bootloader after and just have s-off?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Unless you unlock it again after S Off instead of just flashing the JB Hboot, there is no question of re-locking the bootloader.

The bootloader is locked at the end of juopunutbear before flashing the modified Hboot.

I managed to S-off but during install but during the finishing part where it says

It said some text after really quickly and then closed, I had no option to install modified hboot? is that normal?

[HTC Sensation] ThatDuckGuy:
After trying this I got to the wire trick part and after attempting to do it all I get is the phone reboots and the screen stays black but my charging light remains on. Controlbear just keeps saying "waiting device" and counts to 45 until it restarts that counter.

To get out of this I close controlbear and do the wire trick again and my phone will restart, otherwise the screen just stays black. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any insight is appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The reasons for this is might be

1.after wire trick the device got switched off which happens when the pause is too high (or second tap is too late) in that case you need to press power button once to get the phone booted up

2.the controlbear is not finding your device.. Which might be because of having htc sync installed (you need to un install htc sync)... Or you are either using usb 3.0 port or usb hubs
