Thanks very much for your reply!

I'm not sure where to find "Troubleshoot Point #3"? On the OP it refers to a wire trick problem, but the wire trick was successful and I have S-OFF? I also selected Yes when it asked whether I wanted to install Juopunutbear Hboot, and that seemed to go OK?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you dont have juopunutbear hboot (other wise bootloader wont say LOCKED )

and thats why fastboot commands are not working

so thats why flash juopunutbear hboot and the steps to do that are mentioned in the troubleshoot point #3 linked post

in that post follow the section My bootloader says *** LOCKED *** & S-OFF?

and after that flash the recovery ..you will come out fine :)
[HTC Sensation] mightydiomedes:
Awesome, thanks.

Does that mean I need to do the wire trick again, or is this just a repetition of the hboot installation phase of controlbear?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
only hboot

just read that section and do what it says ;)
[HTC Sensation] mightydiomedes:
That's great - got it working now. Thanks so much for this solution!

Re: this last fix - my phone had "VODAP001" as the CID. To get it working you need to add "VODAP001cidnumber:" to the file.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Glad that everything is fine now :)

Btw thanks.. You should do it xda way :p :D

@ganeshp i tried to patch hboot 1.27 to 1.29 using Kohr-Ah

HBoot Patch to 1.29.0000:

DOWNLOAD: http://d-h.st/iNM

MD5: 03e8d622bd674f4f6f90f15f2adf62df

but after i did that it on top of bootloader it says locked..y it changed frm juopunutbear bootloader?

and one more ques can i try HQ Camera For ICS 1.5 for sense 4 ? does tht change other settings of camera?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1. there is no patched hboot for 1.29 as it is not necessary (thats why LOCKED) ..1.27 patched hboot is the latest

2. IDK ..read the last few pages of that HQ mod thread ..you might get some info

Unlucky

So well, Im kinda noob with the rooting thing =S I followed this post step 1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 in order to S-off my sensation. It was a success so my phone is currently S-off. Then I tried the one click root tool http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25910487&postcount=53 but the result is as the attached image says, root success however the root check app tells me the opposite and also the rom manager app pops a message that my phone is not rooted. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
did you removed temp root after the soff process ?
[HTC Sensation] Licho87:
I did not, well there was no romeve_temp_root.bat file in the S-off process I used, so I don't know other way to remove temp root. Also I do not have adb/fastboot setup, so I downloaded the htc drivers.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
So you are htc dev unlocked and over that you did soff?

Then probably this exploit was patched..

You can flash a custom recovery and then flash su zip... That way you can achieve root
[HTC Sensation] Licho87:
My sensation was stock untill I went S-off with the revolutionary tool, I attempted to install CWM recovery but I could not find a PG58IMG file that my phone could recognize, so I tried the one click root as it mentioned that the only requirement was previously S-off
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ahh now i understood ..Ginger Bread Roms kinda dont support this root tool :(

you need to flash 4EXT recovery (i feel that better than CWM ) then flash su zip

for flashing 4EXT recovery step #2 from this guide ...only step #2 :D

then for root ..you can follow step #4a i believe
[HTC Sensation] Licho87:
Finally i could flash 4EXT recovery, I already made a backup (read somewhere that it was recomended), only fashing 4EXT took me like 2hrs (yep, Im that noob xD), so Im about to flash su.zip however the guide you provided me this guide in the step 4a it metions to root with the zip file Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.

My question would be, does the su.zip and Android Rev...zip do the same? If not, wich one do I use or do I use both?

I really really hope this is my last question! I already thanked you the xda way a few times xD

EDIT

After a bit of reading I found that the android rev is for ICS stock users, and because of the firmware difference I could only use the su.zip, so now I have my Sensation rooted! (finally). Then the next step is to update the firmware and then flash an ICS rom, am I correct??
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ohh yes.. Upgrade the firmware and then ics that's all
[HTC Sensation] duecebravo:
finally worked

first id just like to say thank you for your hard work in putting in the effort to make such a guide and one click .exe's

i got the wire trick to work first try!....... BUT NO AFTER I SPEND 2 HOURS LOOKING FOR A LINK THAT IS NOT (UNLESS I AM RETARDED ENOUGH TO OWN AND IPHONE) ANYWHERE IN YOUR INSTRUCTION. YOUR LINK FOR CONTROLBEAR IS THE NORMAL ONE. I HAD TO CRAWL THROUGH THE BOWELS OF GOOGLE JUST TO FINE THE FILE NAME, THAT BEING SAID i cant even post the ****ing link if i wanted

google: controlbearrelease-pyramid-ics-win-NOhtcdev.zip

other wise thank you
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Well i can see your frustration.. But still the one I linked is the correct one... (step #6 in "STEPS TO RUN THIS TOOL" )

I just checked it now again myself :)

S-Off Issues

Hi,

I was on HBOOT 1.29 and I used the KGS tool to do S-OFF. I had a little trouble and KGS helped me to S-OFF and I was able to install 4EXT Recovery and flash the Elegancia rom. That was all fine.

However, after rebooting I get the Juopunutbear login with the drive on the screen and I am not sure how to proceed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rohan
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Reflash the rom again from recovery without doing any wipe and see
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
sorry for the delated reply

yes un-install htc sync

and then just delete the sdk folder

then go to the tools folder where you have copied them in your pc

open a command prompt there

(hold shift + right click ->click "open command window here")

connect your device to pc..normally (lock screen/home screen)

then on the command prompt...type this

"adb devices"

this should show your device as a listed device

that means adb is working fine now...now run the script and follow the rest of steps

if its still not working then

click on the "IRC HELP CHANNEL" present in my signature

join it...and I'll be there....to help you further

**Nevermind, had named the cwm file recovery.img when it was already recovery.img, windows hides the .img extension, schoolboy error! Thanks anyway!**

Hi there, I believe I have followed the guide correctly and have s-off with the Juopunut hboot, but I am unable to flash clockwork mod recovery. When trying to flash from fastboot it says error:cannot load 'recovery.img'. I have named the file as recovery.img and it is in the same folder as adb, any ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Gareth
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Try flashing 5.0.2.0 HERE

Go to settings/power and untick fastboot.

Place it on the root of your sd card,power off,then power on holding volume down and power button together.

Let it flash and reboot.

Then delete it from your sd card.

:)
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If the file that malybru posted does not work for some reason, make sure you have the CWM recovery.img in your tools folder of your Android SDK folder. Then try to use fastboot to flash the recovery again.

Edit: I just now saw your edit, disregard this post please.

Hi Guys, I am an HTC virgin so excuse the stupid questions. I have just read the whole threads here.

I am trying to get S-Off on my new XE.

I keep getting the same error when trying to run temp root (see attached).

I am guessing temproot is failing so controlbear wont work

What next steps? I want to try and avoid HTCDev if possible.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
hey ..that is weird..you are getting permission denied on /data partition itself

and yes control bear is failing because temp root failed

can you give me more details of your device

post me all the stuff present in boot loader (HBOOT version,SON/SOFF status,radio etc etc )

[HTC Sensation] Leerdammer:
This is my first post ever on xda..

after a lot reading i came across your method to solve my "problem"

I now have ICS, 1.27 boot(locked) and s-off (rooted while at GB and later updated to ICS with the RUU pyramid zip keeping s-off) and CWM recovery, but my root does not work. Just no root acces, via apps.

Although flashing the su 2.3.6.3 ef signed.zip file went fine, No root acces is caused by the hboot 1.27 found out later.

My goal is just to root it (keeping warranty if possible), no custom rom (yet)

Should i just try your s-off method? (to make sure its really s-off) and then root

with the SU file used in this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1625841

anyway thanks for your support.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
If the hboot says you're s off then you are. Flash an updated SU package. Root has nothing to do with the hboot

Hmm you got every thing correct

Can you try flashing the recovery again

Btw did you have smartflash enabled in 4EXT ?

If so disable it (tools->smart flash) in recovery and flash the ROM again immediately
[HTC Sensation] rohanale:
Hi. Yes SmartFlash was enabled. I disabled it and tried to flash the rom again straightaway but got the same result.

I will try and flash the recovery again.

I have had a sensation for a while now and have been watching over this thread for a while before trying and it worked fine :D

One problem I had was the

I just left the phone for a minute and tried again & it seemed ok again.

:victory:
[HTC Sensation] bored_stupid:
I gain temp-root but when i run Juopunutbear it says device needs to be HTC Unlocked, press any key to exit. Bought the sensation second-hand, so think it might have a replaced motherboard as htcdev sant unlock the bootloader,"1.27.000.

Any help please...

{EDIT}... Found correct Juopunutbear and performed wire trick..Now S-Off
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You downloaded the wrong version of it ...check the steps again and download the correct version

You need to manually flash boot.img ..check asskickars guide on "flashing ROMs with SON" in sensation general section ..and do extra 1 step from it

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Chill chill your phone is not bricked :)

Now did you have the control bear folder on PC ?

If yes then check for boot_backup.img file

And you need to flash that via PC using fastboot command

First try troubleshoot point #4 from OP and tell me whether it is success or not

Edit:

just saw your comment

did you have the img file i mentioned earlier?

If so from your adb/fast boot folder open a command prompt there

(If windows hold shift + right click -- open command window here )

And first type this

fastboot devices

It should list your device

Then this command

fastboot flash boot boot_backup.img

Then reboot using

fastboot reboot
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
tried again now 30mins in searching for device.. still got nothing

thank sir.. inside im really panic :(

while im waiting for any reply i tried in joupunut in screen and run again the control bear.exe

i reset the pc and i have no back up and the pc in this computer shop is in deepfreeze that why all of my files are gone..i tried to download again another controlbear..and now im stuck in this.sorry for may bad english. :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
OK I'll give you a stock boot.img file download it ..copy it to your adb/fastboot folder. I assume you have adb/fastboot otherwise download the temp root sensation windows zip file from the first post ..extract it to some where and open command window there ..and check this post again .I'll come up with a download link of boot.img shortly
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
i have lost all the back up files i have nothing

sir thanks for bearing with me. i have none of all the files earlier because this computer in the shop is in deepfreeze now when i restarted all the files are gone im 5hrs in this computer and i am exhausted and tired searching for the net on what to do. so i decided to now try the forum(in this previous week i only read in the forums says.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
OK download the temp root sensation windows zip file linked in first post of this thread and also this one http://d-h.st/pLG ...once downloaded copy it to the extracted zip folder

And open command window there

(If windows hold shift + right click -- open command window here )

Connect the phone from fastboot to PC

Then first type this command

fastboot devices

It should list your device

Then

fastboot flash boot boot.img

It flashes the boot file

Then

fastboot reboot

Also you Need to connect the phone from boot loader ..if connected properly the phone shows FASTBOOT USB

sir sorry i dont now i how to really used the command. im new in rooting the only thing that success in my process of rooting is the unlock bootloader.i dont now how to flash ethier. i want to know how to used the command run

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

sir pasted the download file to the extraceted temp root folder. what should i do next because i cant understand the hold shift right click method.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
OK I'll try to explain the process briefly

1. You have extracted the temp root sensation windows folder in some place I guess ..assume the extracted folder name is X

2. Now don't extract the boot.img just copy that file to the folder X

3. Now connect the phone from boot loader to PC ...phone shows FASTBOOT USB if connected properly ...if its showing HBOOT press power button once ..it will take you to FASTBOOT USB mode

4. Now you need to open a command prompt from the X folder

To do that ..go to that folder .. hold shift button and then right click on an empty space of the folder ..you'll get some options ...click on "open command window here "...it opens a command window there

If the above is not working

Try this

Click start button ..and in the search bar present there ..type cmd and press enter ..you'll have a command window

Now you need to navigate to the X folder in the window

To do that type this command

Assuming the X folder is in C:\adb

Type this

cd C:\adb\X

5.once done now you need to type couple of commands in the command window

First this command

fastboot devices

The output of the command lists your device

Then this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

It flashes the boot file to your device

Then the final command

fastboot reboot

It reboots your device
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
sir now i understand thanks. the joupunutbear screen is now gone and the phone restarted. i can see the notification bar but pure black the popup box says. "unfortunately the system Ui stops." now it is in stand by position..i think it is charged but if try to open it always shows the pop up
