The reason of r failure in both the cases is device is not getting detected :(

If you can ...can you try this ?

Connect the phone normally to PC/laptop

Got to the downloaded root folder

Then open a terminal ( generally you can open terminal like this ... Hold shift + right click -> open terminal window here )

In the terminal type this command

adb devices

This should list your phone's serial number if connected properly

Otherwise either drivers or wire/connection problem ( which happens pretty rarely :( )

BTW are you on windows 8 ? Then those drivers might not work properly ..one way you can get proper drivers is ..first uninstall the drivers you have ..then go to hyc website and install HTC sync ..then go to control panel and uninstall all HTC crap except HTC USB driver ..then reboot and try again

( if you feel that this is pain in ass ..then I would suggest you to get root via standard recovery method or using hansoon tool kit ?)
[HTC Sensation] Croandroid1996:
Sorry,but It looks like that you misunderstood me,I said "I hope I am not pain in the ass".

I never would say that somebodies work is pain in the ass.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I'm not saying you are being disrespectable .. I just meant that for the first timer the process I mentioned might feel tedious and the alternative solution I've mentioned is much easier
[HTC Sensation] Croandroid1996:
I just want to thank you for everything.It worked One click root tool.

Can I now flash 4ext recover via hasoon2000s tool?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You can flash 4ext recovery much easier now as you got root ...go to 4ext recovery thread in sensation development section ..then download recovery updater app from the thread ( if you like the app and recovery and want to support the developer ..purchase 4ext recovery controller app )...open the app and install recovery that's all :)

Dear ganesh,

Hey mate,thanks for the link and this helpfull thread,

I gain the s-off after around 20times trial, but it worth for me,already gain the hboot as well, but haven't rooted it,and put a rocovery

Any idea, wht recovery are recommended and i beg if it is a free one,since a 4ext is no-free,

Again thanks mate, and.looking forward your great advice

Simply
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Go for 4ext only.. It's a free recovery.. Go to the 4ext recovery thread in Sensation development section and get the free 4ext recovery updater app from the thread... Open it and install the recovery from the app (btw the app requires root..)
[HTC Sensation] mrsimply:
Thanks for the fast reply , btw, the.recovery could be installed via the application?but how tp install the app itself?

Please forgive me for my noob question
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
You got to be rooted to use that app! If you are rooted get the 4ext recovery updater app and download to you phone sd card and that open the app and install the the latest recovery

[HTC Sensation] boyriot:
is it ok if I skip to install JuopunutBear modified hboot?

I'm S-OFF already.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Do it...

It does nothing harm and it eases your flashing process during troubleshoot
[HTC Sensation] boyriot:
the problem is, when I succeeded do wire trick, it doesn't show the option to install JuopunutBear hboot.

and then it said I should type "adb reboot oem-78" to reboot device.

when i repeat to run control bear, it said device s-off already.

how do I install JuopunutBear hboot manually?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if your device is on S-OFF now go to the unlimited.io page and download from there the juopunutbear hboot for sensation

or flash the 3.33 universal firmware from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

follow the instructions to the letter

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
as the inbuilt juopunutbear hboot hasnt got installed

we can install it seperately (which is in troubleshoot point #3 )

but lets do the easy method

we'll install revolutionary hboot (which is same in features but patched by another team )

go to firmware thread link here

download

"HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)" from post #2

then install it ..the instructions are mentioned in the same thread ..

(basically a simple three step process

1. copy the downloaded file to top of the sdcard )

2. reboot the bootloader ..follow the onscreen instructions

3. do a battery pull ...then delete the file from sdcard ..otherwise everytime you reboot to bootloader ..the bootloader will ask you to update the contents
[HTC Sensation] boyriot:
Thanks guys, I finally did this :

- reboot in fastboot mode

- type the following commands in windows cmd :

* fastboot erase cache

* fastboot oem rebootRUU

* fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip

* fastboot reboot

done.

PS :

the controlbear for windows that [MENTION=4546540]ganeshp[/MENTION] gave to me didn't work because some files are missing, I got another controlbear for windows somewhere else (I did wire trick less than 5 times :o).
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
well thats some news

can you tell me what exactly were missing ?

can you compare the the zip ive given and the other one ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
:)

Those are adb and fastboot files which are not associated with the soff process directly.. The temproot zip file which I've provided initially contains these files and they ease the process of soff
[HTC Sensation] boyriot:
yeah I know, but I don't know why when I was using your control bear the JuopunutBear logo didn't appear on the screen :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I've provided you two links

One is normal one and the other one is NOHTCDEV one (this other one is what I've requested to hyuh one of Juopunutbear soff developer to provide for people who can't do htcdev unlock)

This guide deals with the NOHTCDEV one and it won't show juopunutbear screen during the process (as the temp root which is required before hand will mask the screen completely with just status bar)

I got this eror:

Let's take one more......

S-OFF Failed

Errorcode: 66732337

ErrorMsg: Still sober

Press ENTER to exit.....

please help.
[HTC Sensation] jvctan16:
just do it again until it works. Watch the video in the guide.
[HTC Sensation] Taher Di:
I've tried 9 times.Maybe the problem is that I came back to s-on and now I can't return to s-off again:(
[HTC Sensation] jvctan16:
You can still S-OFF. Double tap the wire when controlbear says do wire trick. Does your phone still boot to Juopunutbear logo? Remember you have to had run the temp root for S-OFF before proceeding.
[HTC Sensation] Taher Di:
Yes it boots to Juopunutbear logo. And I have tried to s-off by doing temp root and also rooting by recovery. I have no problem in rooting.
[HTC Sensation] jvctan16:
But you can't get permanent S-OFF? Is that that problem? It took me 13 tries before I got mine to work.
[HTC Sensation] Taher Di:
Yeah I think that is the problem. I'll try again and let you know.

Thanks alot.
[HTC Sensation] M..N:
Well yeah once, it turns off you need to manually turn it on. Then once it is back on run controlbear again. Also, it would be easier doing the HTC Dev Unlock method, as you will not have the problem with the device switching off.
[HTC Sensation] ShAaShAy:
I'll give this a go few more times and check if i can get this sucker to work! :)

Fingers crossed!
[HTC Sensation] :
@ ShAaShAy: Exact the same things happened to me yesterday! I was also wondering why my device wasn't rebooting automatically, (so, yes, I had to reboot manually as well).

In principle, you should do the wire trick faster. Do you use proper material for the job?
[HTC Sensation] ShAaShAy:
man i'm on my 3rd wire already! :P

i've tried about like 20+ times total, still missing out on it.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

oh well, tomorrow will be another day. :P

tried enough for today i guess! :)
[HTC Sensation] RobertdeHoop:
I did it, it worked the second time. I used the copper inner cable of a coax tv cable.
[HTC Sensation] :
Ahhww aight :(.. I also tried the wire trick for like 10+ times, but that's because I couldn't find any paperclip whatsoever xD.. Anyway, try holding your left finger on the SIM, just like in the video, and use your right hand to poke the ''needle'' in the left hole :o

Good luck mate !

Edit: Just to make sure, now that I'm S-off, does that mean that I still have to flash to the latest firmware? (since I currently have version 3.32.114.11) In short, can I flash custom roms now? I don't got anything like Superwipe/ SuperCID.. I know it's probably a noob question :|
[HTC Sensation] dani19:
So phone do reboot and get to the control bear screen after correct wire trick? Correct me if I'm wrong
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
good thing helping each other :D

yeah you can jump to flashing custom roms no need for you to flash firmware ...but for that you need custom recovery first ..check the stickies in general section...you'll find one good guide :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yes but also reboot happens if the wire trick was too fast too afaik
[HTC Sensation] M..N:
Well if it reboots your on the right track. Like Ganesh said, if you do it too fast it'll reboot in to android. You'll need to find a middle ground. Not too slow and not too fast.
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for your response. Do you have any recommendation about installing a custom recovery? I'm asking this because 4EXT Recovery doesn't seem to do the trick since it tells me that I have no busybox, besides that, whenever I ignore that message the application consequently tells me that I haven't flashed my device yet. (Hmpf :|)

I appreciate your concern and effort :D

Edit: ClockworkMod Recovery 4 perhaps?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
no 4EXT would be a better choice

first if you got a "juopunutbear" bootloader when you you booted into HBOOT

follow the step 2 (only step 2) from this thread

if you got *Locked* bootloader then first you need to update firmware

to do that follow steps 3,4 and 5 from this thread and then follow the above method for flashing 4EXT again
[HTC Sensation] :
Thank you sirrr! You are right about the ''Locked'' bootloader, so I went updating my firmware, but I got stuck at the actual point of downloading the firmware (already SuperCID'ed) because the links are dead >< But I'll just wait from here, thank you :D
[HTC Sensation] dani19:
Just changed the wire and did s-off with first attempt ;)

Many thanks

Hmm SuperCID, indeed. I do not have any custom flash yet since 4EXT Recovery told me that it has failed:

I assume a custom flash is required for updating the firmware right? (Mainly, I think, because I couldn't get to fastboot the firmware package in bootloader)
[HTC Sensation] M..N:
This error occurs because you do not have a HBOOT which allows you to use those commands. Flash the JuopunutBear bootloader, and run the command again and it should work.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
UPDATE:

updated the OP :D

new tool added...a ROOTING TOOL (experimental ) .which doesnt require Recovery :D

please try that and give me a feedback :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
hmm it seems you got good usage of fastboot

so try flashing this HBOOT

get the "pyramid ics' one from here

flash it via fastboot ...instructions in the same link too

after this your bootloader should read *juopunutbear*

then flash recovery again..it will be successful
[HTC Sensation] :
Alright, I'll try this method first. To make things easier, I will tell you what I i'm currently doing:

- Downloaded ICS Pyramid (jb_hboot)

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Haa you can recover it

It a rare state called deep sleep

Happens when wire trick failed many times

The below process should revive the phone

Remove battery, Sim and sdcard ..and charge the phone for 7-8 hours ( yes without battery) ..like overnight ..then put the stuff back and power it on ..it should work
[HTC Sensation] Taher Di:
And if it powers on again can I s-off it? Is it risky? Will it work just like before?

I tried charging with battery but didn't work. I will try this and let you know.

Thanks alot.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes you can redo the process ..try changing the wire though for wire trick ..and tap it properly ( hold the end of wire on sdcard and tap on the hole .. Not the other way around )
[HTC Sensation] Taher Di:
Thank you so much. Phone powered on but still can't do s-off it gives this eror: I have tried 20 times:(maybe it's because I S-ONed it.

Do not remove sdcard from phone

Do wire-trick now!! Check the instructions at http://unlimited.io

Hi guys,

I've attempted to follow this to get S-OFF and then root and install CM. I cant use the HTC Dev method, since the motherboard on this Sensation XE has been replaced recently by HTC (SD card slot broke).

I've run the temp-root.bat to get temp root. Waited until it was booted with that and ran controlbear. But controlbear is throwing up this error: "Device needs to be HTC unlocked!"

(see attachment for full output).

HBOOT version info:

****LOCKED****

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.29.0000

eMMC-boot

ControlBear version 0.6 beta for Windows.

I have to run temp-root-remove.bat which then gets the phone back into a usable state. Although the phone now reboots itself frequently! Hoping this can be resolved? Do I need a newer version of ControlBear? They removed the Windows installer download link and it seems to be unobtainable on the internet.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] viper-:
Could you send me the NOHTCDEV version please? I think I have this problem also (see above post).

Please help! Cannot unlock!

Hi there, I really need help. I am going out of my mind struggling for days in circles on this!

I have a new HTC Sensation XE with Beats audio. I have done the HTV Dev unlock instructions many times now on my Windows 8 laptop, on my Win XP 32 bit PC and Win XP 64 bit PC, and it simply does not work.

I get the error code that it has failed. It sees the phone, but it just won't unlock the bootloader for me.

I wanted to try the S-Off option by Juopnut Bear but it only supports a Linux system, which I do not have and am not in any way familiar with. I only know how to use Windows computers and only have access to devices running Windows (except for my lovely new Android phone of course!

I have spent days reading forums and trying nearly all the tips and tricks.

I don't actually want or need S-Off, I just need to unlock the bootloader so I can flash a custom rom on it like I did with my previous Wilfdire S phone, (I have WildChild mod of Cyanogen 7 on it and love it) and use apps which require root, it's that simple.

Is there ANY way at all to get root on a Sensation XE with Beats audio z715e mobile phone if you cannot use the HTCDev method? Or have I gone and spent good money on a device that's not supported and is stuck with crappy HTV standard firmware with no recourse to lovely apps for rooted phones??

Please someone help! =(

P.S. My phone is running H-Boot 1.29.0000 eMMC-boot with Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6. Kernsl version 3.0.16-g31a4fc7.

Temp Root Ganeshp

I attempted the temp root. The tool successfully temp rooted, but then I used Control Bear... all was well till it complained that my phone was not HTCDev unlocked! Of course it isn't! If I could have done that I wouldn't be messing around trying to get S-Off. So Controlbear refused to work and I had to remove the temp root.

I can't get HTCDev unlock on my phone, nothing works for that. But that's all I want so I can flash a custom rom and get root required apps. :crying:

Stuck in Wire Trick

Thanks for everyone's help so far. I feel like I am finally almost there! I have been stuck now on the wire trick for the past hour. Sometimes it finds the device and tells me it failed, other times it can't find the phone, so I restart it then it finds it and says S-Off failed. I know some people have said you have to try a lot of times to get this timing right but I have followed several different tutorials and done it around 30 times so far without success.

I'm wondering if anyone found any tips at all for getting the hang of this?? Thanks :confused:
[HTC Sensation] SP1996AC:
Make sure that you use a paperclip, as I found that was the easiest way. Also make sure that you make proper contact with the small hole with your wire/paperclip.

As far as for the trick itself, make sure your paperclip remains contact with the hole and only lift up the other end for the timing. The timing on the original thread worked best in my opinion. If it doesn't work, make sure you expose the metal of the wire/paperclip good enough! :)
[HTC Sensation] Growly:
It's still not working.. I'm on the verge of giving up here.

Thanks for the advice.. I have been trying this for hours now. I have also tried it using a paper clip with identical results. I'm wondering if I have the wrong HBoot or something. Mine is 1.29. I just can't believe I've got so close and now I can't get past this last hurdle. I really hate phone manufacturers for not just selling unlocked handsets from the get go. This stuff always ends up costing me several days of my life and it's rare I have much time away from work stuff to do it. :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
How are you doing the wire trick?

You should hold the end on so card and should tap on the hole

I have absolutely no idea what went wrong, but it did take a very long time to register my wire trick method.

I'm using a piece of cable tie wire to do the trick (also tried a staple and some speaker cable) and I have to keep tapping it before it reboots and continues on to this error. I hold the contact from the hole to the SD holder for about 0.5 secs every 1 sec as per the Youtube video method I found.

Anyone have any idea what went wrong?

Edit: Tried another piece of speaker cable with soldered ends (short piece made myself) and the wire trick worked much much quicker. However, I'm still getting the same error.
