My experience

Maybe somebody are learning from my experience

1. I had HTC Sensation classic hboot 1.27 and S-on ( unlocked by htcdev)

2. I try a lot metods to root my phone and nothing so I tried to install Android revolution HD with beats so ...it's coming with superuser installed so after that was rooted

3. So I could run ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN and after 10-15 times was at final S-off without rebooting and marked that didn't find /system/bin/rebooting but didn't know that was S-off after I tried to run ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN and was wrote that already S-off :D

4. Other strange thing ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN didn't wipe anything from my sd card after all.

I hope that is helpful for somebody. Good luck;)
[HTC Sensation] TimMun:
Awesome guide, thank you very much. Worked flawlessly and received s-off at my third try! Perhaps this will help some people!
[HTC Sensation] Voklav:
Work - tnx :D
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
What is interesting is that even though you are S-OFF, Fastboot Commander will fail to flash anything since phone is locked. Kinda defy the S-OFF procedure, don't you think?

So ControlBear.exe couldn't find any devices after reboot, and now on the screen of my phone there is just JuopnutBear and it won't go away, how do I get my phone back to normal?

Thanks

Where do I get boot.img?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I don't have time to search for the post and link it right now. But one XDA member posted in this thread or the thread in development that they did the HTC Dev unlock again after gaining S-off Juopunutbear. And they stated they were unlocked after doing the HTC Dev unlock again.
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
What are the exact commands and where do I find those 2 images? I don't have them. Thanks.

My phone is also stuck, I can't boot it any more.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Both can be found in the ROM's .zip file. Just extract the contents of the .zip file and you will find them. I do apologize as the system is not a .img file but just a regular file named system.
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Thanks, and what are the fastboot commands to flash them?

S-OFF but no root access..

Hi there...,

This is something funny... and scary to me..

I tried doing the S-OFF after flashing recover and and SU but the funny part...

It now shows locked and S-OFF but when i do su in terminal emulator i get the following:

/system/bin/sh: SU not found..

I happened to go back to recovery to find the recovery is also not there it jus shows a white screen with HTC on it..

Is there any way out of this.. ?/

I am having some serious problems trying to install a custom rom as in 4.2.2. 4.1.2 works lovely but not 4.2.2 see my post please at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2157779 I was thinking if there was anyway I could "redo" root and s=off using this method.

TIA
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
actually in order to S-OFF you must have stock rom(not ruu)
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Whats the difference between stock rom and not RUU. As a non techie I would of thought use a ruu to achieve stock??
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
with stock i mean the rooted stock rom.the zip one which is flashing from recovery as a custom rom but without modifications,just pure

ruu is a exe and returns the device into completely stock situation as you bought it

that's why i said not ruu to avoid any confusion

you don't need ruu
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Thanks for explaing that. Gives me 2 options then really as I don't mind going back to square one and starting over as I will need to achive s=off as well which may mean downgrading
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
as i see from your signature you are already S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Yes but because of the problems I am having

"I am having some serious problems trying to install a custom rom as in 4.2.2. 4.1.2 works lovely but not 4.2.2 see my post please at http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2157779 I was thinking if there was anyway I could "redo" root and s=off using this method.

I am thinking of reverting to stock and starting over.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i am not for that but maybe if you try to redo S-OFF the program will see it and abort the process
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:
do u have to super CID after s-off?

when i bought the phone, it was not carrier dependent i.e. it was carrier unlocked as i can use any sim on it and will work...
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Yes it is super CID and unlocked to any carrier/network
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:
Wow, that was a quick reply... was just reading another thread and then came back here and refreshed this page....and i get ur reply....thx a lot...

so in simple words now after i s-off, i can click on yes for juopunutBear Hboot and im done...next step would be custom rom.... Right?
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Sorry different conversation
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:

Alrite, no prob..

i have a question

this is what it says

starting up.....

connecting to device...

testing adb connection

test 1: rebooting into bootloader

waiting fastboot <60/60>

test 1: rebooting into bootloader FAILED

press ENTER to exit....

i have no clue what the problems are followed the steps closely please help. :confused:

UPDATE: sorry guys figured it out had unnecessary programs installed like htc sync and stuff like that and ran the program took me 5 times to do the wire trick. Few scares here and there but i finally got S-off!
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:
hey,....

I've just managed to s-off my htc sensation (z710e) after so many tries...jupuonutBear method...

i have 2 questions!!!

1- I want to know, do i have to run the script to super CID my phone?? I want to know as i have purchased this phone from retail store....and i can use any sim..... hence it is not carrier locked....

2- Do i have to put a custom kernel before a custom ROM or vice-versa or it does not matter what order i do it....??
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
1)the reason to change to supercid is only for flashing firmware without any issues

i can't think for something else

2)first flash the rom and then a custom kernel

but most roms(if not all) comes with custom kernel
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:
Thanx for ur prompt reply...

so i will super CID my phone today itself....

and will first flash a custom rom and then kernel.... thx

:)

Tapatalk Skyblue XE ~ @jokheenz
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
with S-ON you will surely need 4ext recovery for the smartflash feature

smartflash has the ability to write the boot partition when flashing roms or kernels

with S-OFF you don't need that

also in S-ON you can't flash firmwares,radios,rils but in S-OFF you can

you might be bricked :( plug your phone in and open up device manager and check if your phone is seen as android device or QHSUSB_DLOAD device and report back
[HTC Sensation] badai:
i've just done this using Android Revolution HD. just select stock kernel when you install. make sure you enable smart flash in recovery,

it took me about 10 tries (around 15 minutes). when it done, my phone stuck at juopunutbear screen. just follow instruction in their website to restore recovery,

my sd content is replace with garbage. so make sure you backup, or use different sd card.

also, you cannot do this on live cd. you need to install ubuntu because you might spend too much time searching on how to get root on live cd.

also, nand backup your rom too. after you flash new firmware, you need to restore it back or get boot loop.

Trouble with drivers on reboot

Hello, thank you for this great guide and any help!

I'm having a driver issue after doing the wire trick. I'm guessing that when the wire trick works (should be going to S-Off) is when windows gives me the driver problem. I can hear the phone reboot and then the driver installer comes up and ControlBear says waiting for device... Then Windows tells me that it can't install the driver (QHSUSB_DLOAD is the driver). ControlBear then gives the error about checking device manager, adb, fastboot drivers.

This driver message only happens after the wire trick though. If I do the wire trick unsuccessfully, ControlBear gives me the normal sober message and then I try again.

Any suggestions? I've tried removing all HTC drivers and following this advice: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26791800&postcount=298

But, I still get the error and can't seem to get past the wire trick because of it...
