Thanks mate. Well, the problems I'm having are as follows- I cant flash anything to the phone. Whenever I try to follow the steps of flashing imgs to the phone, I get errors like the 'failed: remote not allowed' or 'waiting on device.' The second problem doesn't seem to happen any more. And thus, when I go into bootloader, when I select recovery, or anything else, the phone just restarts. To be honest, I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I've managed to get S-Off, but that's the only success I've had so far.
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Remote: not allowed is the error you'd get if you're not unlocked
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
the "remote not allowed" error is coming because you have *Locked* bootloader

the second one "waiting for device" comes when the the device is not being identified properly

first to get flashing right ..you need to have a complete unlocked bootloader (juopunutbear/revolutionary)

to have that download the "pyramid ics" zip file from this site

and keep the zip file you've downloaded in adb folder of your pc

then follow the steps to flash that zip file ..the steps are mentioned in the website I've linked too

after flashing the zip

if you boot into bootloader you will find *juopunutbear* on the screen

After this you can flash any recovery,boot and all via fastboot

help me please!

hi!

i have an htc sensation brand vodafone it with h-boot 1.27.0000 cid HTC ITA Vodafone: "VODAP405"

I followed the guide to get s-off but I made the mistake of unplugging the USB cable during I followed the guide to get s-off but I made the mistake of unplugging the USB cable during the execution of j-bear.

Now power up the phone hangs on the boot logo, but I can access the bootloader (unlocked), and recovery.

What can I do?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
connect your device in fastboot to pc

go to your controlbear folder

open command prompt from there (hold shift + right click->open command window here)

then type "controlbear -f" without quotes this should revert your phone back to normal condition
[HTC Sensation] peteIRL:
Thanks for the help! I tried the steps that are listed in the link. First two steps, went great. Third step, I get this error when flashing the zip file-

sending 'zip' (353 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.266s]

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) zip header checking...

(bootloader) zip info parsing...

(bootloader) checking model ID...

(bootloader) checking custom ID...

FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail)

finished. total time: 2.077s

Any idea what might be wrong?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
your cid failed

first get your cid

to get that

fastboot getvar cid

now note down the cid (eg cid HTC__001)

now open the jb_hoot.zip you've downloaded

(it will have two files android-info.txt and hboot..xxxx.nb0)

extarct it to a temporary folder

open android-info.txt and replace any cidnum:<CID> with your cid

then make the zip again...just with those two above files

and flash this new zip again..you wont have failure this time on third step
[HTC Sensation] peteIRL:
Great! Now the pink area has JuopunutBear in it, and the HBoot is 1.27.1111. So that's progress, I think!

What do I do next? WiFi is still malfunctioning. Can I now put custom Roms on, or what do I do? Thanks a million with the help so far!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
good just install custom recovery and then you can install custom roms...

great thread on how to do it is in this thread

follow the post #2 to flash a custom recovery and any custom ROM
[HTC Sensation] peteIRL:
Thanks a million mate! I've finally got everything working. WiFi's back up and running and even Clockwork Rom Manager is up and running too. Thanks again for all the help!
[HTC Sensation] dsymbol:
Hi,

I just wanted to report back that I've successfully S-OFF with a blank SD card.

Thank you very much!!!
[HTC Sensation] kip.seattle:
I've followed the guide and like many I'm stuck on the wire-trick. After at least 100 unsuccessful attempts I can't help but think maybe something else is going on.

I notice in the video that the phone reboots into a recovery looking state with the Juopunutbear logo, but mine has never done that. The program tells me to do the wire trick now while the phone is still in the Android environment. Any ideas what I can do to get the phone to actually reboot?

I installed the ROM in the guide that provides superuser, I have ADB tools working fine on a Windows machine, and I did the HTCDev unlock just fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: (update)

Turns out the file on the Juopunutbear website for Windows ICS was not correctly built on the server, and thus was causing some problems. Hyuh worked with me personally on IRC and via RDP to discover the issue and correct it. With the correct files in place it only took 2 tries to get the S-off.
[HTC Sensation] dmk0:
Thank you very much for this guide, I have successfully S-OFF my phone.

After I had done this and installed a new ROM I noticed my battery was stuck at 100%.

I installed another ROM and still have this problem, could using this method have caused android a problem to show 100% battery all the time.

To read more about this issue I am experiencing see this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26589470

and if you know something pretty please help :) it would mean a lot to me as I cannot use my phone if I let the battery go flat I cannot do anything to fix the phone so I'm in cautious mode at least until I get an external battery charger from ebay which could take a month and I don't really want to wait that long as I will have to use my really old phone :(.

Thank you :)

[HTC Sensation] Sick Nasty:
Is the device supposed to turn off and on when we do the wire trick?

I also don't get the same screen as in the video.
[HTC Sensation] anchik2105:
It doesn't wokr for me can you help please

I tried so many times every time

it says

how can i S-OFF my sansation
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
did you met the prerequisites for running juopuntbear here

1.did you have unolcked bootloader by HTCdev ?

2.did you have root installed?

i think you havent done these

please read the OP(opening post) again to the letter ..you need to met those conditions
[HTC Sensation] hengguowei:
Forgot to remove case

I know this is stupid.

I forgot to remove my case before running Juopunutbear.

Now, it's asking me to do the wire trick which obviously I can't.

Please tell me what to do.

Should I unplug and do it again? Or what? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes unplug and do it again

[HTC Sensation] hengguowei:
Check adb and/or fastboot drivers

I have downloaded the HTC Drivers, installed it, restarted my comp but this message is shown after the wire trick.

Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!

I have no idea. Been reading the guide over and over againm, trying to understand what did I missed.

Un install htc sync and try it again

Same error message

I have tried the above but still receiving the same error message:

Open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot driver!!

I'm using Windows 7 btw and I don't see adb in device manager.

Any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
are you connecting your device via hub or usb 3.0 port ?

if so please connect the device to pc direclty (or usb 2.0 ports)

the only issue is something is interfering ADB ...

i would like you to do this

uninstall htc sync and any other htc crap

then get this http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

install it and then unplug the usb cable and plug it again

then if you got adb/fastboot setup

go to the adb folder and then open a command prompt there

and type "fastboot devices" from fastboot screen

then the output should show your device in the list

if it is showing your device

now run controlbear again

this time do the second tap a bit fast (it should reboot)
[HTC Sensation] hengguowei:
Fastboot/adb problem

I have installed the HTC Drivers. However, I don't quite understand to the part where you said open a command prompt there. Anyway, I'm still having the same error message now.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
what i mean is ..you might already have adb/fastboot (which you installed during the unlock bootloader process)

go to that folder

hold shift + right click ->click on "open command prompt here "

then you will get a command prompt (a box)

then put your device in fastboot and connect it to pc

then in that box ..type "fastboot devices" it should show your device

if its showing you ..then run controlbear again

if you still having problems

click on "IRC HELP CHANNEL" in my signature and join it..lot of ppl will be there to help you
[HTC Sensation] hengguowei:
Nothing appears when I type fastboot devices.

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:

just the device is not connected properly

uninstall htcsync and try this also dont use any hubs or 3.0 ports ..connect the device directly..and then run the same command again "controlbear.exe -r"
[HTC Sensation] Icemat:

[HTC Sensation] Icemat:
i have new trouble :(

I flash Ordroid with S-On, so it bootloop (stop in HTC Sensation screen)

What must i do now?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
make sure you have unlocked in bootloader (otherwise unlock it again ..using the same unlock_code.bin)

then get the boot.img from the ordroid zip from pc (if you dont have the ordroid zip from pc...toggle usb mode in recovery ..and get the zip from sdcard )

and follow step "extra 1" from this guide using the boot.img you got
[HTC Sensation] Icemat:
OMG it's running :D

Thank you again and again :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
lol you edited it :D

anyways ..as you are SON you need to repeat this when changing the ROM

but there is a way to prevent that ..read about smartflash ..from the same guide i've linked....you will understand and by enabling the smartflash ..you can prevent flashing boot.img again :D
[HTC Sensation] Icemat:
This is the first time i flash rom for Sen XE, it's harder than my old phone captivate :D

I will use my sen without wifi for 1 days (wifi not working in S-On), after tommorow, i will flash it back to stock rom by follow your link :D, i will S-off again :D

If I have any trouble, hope you will help me again :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you should have the wifi problem..flash the boot.img again ..that should solve the issue
[HTC Sensation] Icemat:
I have flashed boot.img again but wifi still not working :)
[HTC Sensation] jordontin:
I'm still new for HTC device android rooting. If after i S-OFF bootloader, can i S-On again to get the OTA update from HTC server and install the OTA update? Before the Juopunutbear S-OFF it is need unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com? My device software number is 3.32.707.10 but htcdev.com doesn't have Asia version.

I understand once unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com there no way to lock the bootloader again. Because my device still under warranty.

Because previously i'm using Revolutionary.io to unlock bootloader and S-OFF but i still can lock bootloader and S-ON again by using Recovery Manager tool.

Please advise.
[HTC Sensation] spacemonkey55:
Hey guys,

I'm quite new to all this amazing stuff you do here, because I just bought a Sensation the other day.

I've been reading in this forum quite a lot but I still can't follow this awesome tutorial.

I'm stuck at this point of the instructions:

How do I root my ROM?? Is there a tutorial or something I missed? I'm trying really hard but can't figure out how it's supposed to be done.

Would anybody mind helping me out?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you can stay SOFF and can get OTA update too...the only requirement to OTA update is cid match,stock recovery, and non rooted stock rom

you can use "other supported devices" while doing htcdev unlock

also you can use without htcdev method (link in my signature) but my method is bit more harder (in terms of wire trick..need to be more precise )

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

ok..the soff requires ..root to rom

as per my understanding regarding your case ..you are completely stock..so no need to flash stock rom again...

also i believe you did HTC dev unlock to your bootloader

now you just need ROOT

so just follow my guide just to do the ROOT ...(dont do soff using my method ..as that is for ppl who didnt/cant do HTCdev unlock) link in my signature

first install the drivers ...that's present in the same link..and use the one click root tool :)
[HTC Sensation] spacemonkey55:
Yes, you're right. I managed to unlock my bootloader with HTCDev...

Are you sure that I don't need S-Off?

I'm asking because I wanted to run the "[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.6.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | Legendary" ROM

And this is a quote of what's needed to run the custom rom:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
NO ..what i mean is if you want to SOFF ..you need to use this method ..but not the method present in the guide I've linked

ALso you can flash ARHD..while SON..if you have unlocked bootloader

HERE is the perfect guide for you

FLASHING ROMS WITH SON -ARHD

Ok the solution is simple

If you are stuck at Juopunutbear screen

And want to revert back to normal

1.if you can go to bootloader.. Go there on your device... Connect it directly to pc

Open the controlbear folder. And open command window there

(hold shift + right click then click on the white space and click on " open command prompt here ")

And type " controlbear -f " without quotes that's all you need to type to revert back

2.you can't go to bootloader then connect the device with JuopunutBear screen it self.. And do the rest of process as above but use this command " controlbear -r " without quotes

I have same question:

when I go in bootloader every time pg58img.zip give no image is normal?

when I open Clock wm give some error in sd card to much file or directory not found!

thanks for your help
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you need to do the troubleshoot ..from the same folder where you ran the controlbear initially

the sdcard errors comes up as ..the sd card is completley wiped out

thats why im asking you to make you phone revert back to normal...normal means..the same working condition before running the controlbear SOFF
