And for the CID (so you can flash any ROM or RUU for latest radios and debranding)?

Quote:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (to change CID)

fastboot reboot-bootloader (bootloader will reboot)

fastboot getvar cid (it will confirm your CID as 11111111

fastboot reboot (to reboot back in your current ROM)

Thanks for stopping by and cheers!

at the end of post 1 i saw these links but i cant understand what are these for. ur help is much needed guys. :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Root check basic app... Download that and check for root.. (you did used one click root tool right?)

And the next commands are for changing cid (carrier id) and custom recovery...

You can forget the cid.. And as for custom recovery and custom rom flashing.. You can refer post #2 of the below guide

Thanks for the reply, will read those, seems like a long process before i can enjoy arhd. If ever i did not like arhd i can change it anytime right? Arhd is rom ryt? Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] noixdarec:
Thanks alot

It worked perfectly for me! For info, this method will not only avoid to void the htc warranty but also preserve the original (stock) android system (using the official HTCdev unlock method will lose all data that's why I hesitated). Cheers!

Little report : Sensation XE German with Android 4.0.3 & Sense 3.6 (I'm keeping this stock rom for now), hboot was 1.29.0000 and is replaced by JuopunutBear hboot 1.27.1111 during the process, all seems working nicely.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Your warranty is void with S-OFF.

It's up to you to cheat HTC by going back S ON.

With the other method where the bootloader is unlocked, the unlock token is erased at the end of the process (your bootloader is LOCKED not RELOCKED) & hence HTC will never know that you used the unlock token & that the bootloader was unlocked.

Thus, both methods result in the same end point.

The only benefit of this method is for devices with a replaced motherboard where unlocking the bootloader is not possible.

Also, another benefit is not losing data due to HTC dev unlock.

I'm just putting forward some facts for the benefit of anyone who cares to read this.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Couple of corrections here

1.as this method won't wipe any data.. He can backup app data before hand (tons of apps there which will do it).. And then can restore the app data after a fresh flash of a custom rom

2.it even prevents the submission of unlock token to htc.. Thus preventing submission of your imei (might be a chance that HTC have a database of imei's of the phones that use htc-Dev unlock process)

[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
As I said, the purpose of the previous post was only to provide facts.

I don't discredit this method, I'm only speaking from my experience on the #juopunutbear support channel.

HTC doesn't really care enough to check anything on the phone except the hardware to ensure it is unopened/unmodified & the rest of the visible data from fastboot & android.

We have seen this on #unbrick too. HTC doesn't check even the bricked phones.

I don't want to go way off topic with this discussion.

That's about all I'm going to say on this topic.

I've edited out the part about data because I think you're right on that one.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I didn't mean to say that.. The other method does voids your warranty.. I'm just saying that this method is more safe at the cost of being bit hard at wire trick part..

If you re-read the point #2 in my previous post.. I said it prevents submitting the token.. Thus it prevents giving your phones sensitive info but never said that HTC uses that as a check for warranty purposes. As HTC didn't denied any persons warranty until now.. Even though they did htc-Dev unlock.. what you said might be true.

But remember HTC has made ppl acknowledge some terms and conditions during HTC-Dev unlock process and in addition they have the phone info too when the unlock token was submitted So they can very well deny warranty if they want to..

That's all what I'm going to say.

I S-Off use this guide, I tried more than 20 times to get it work, Wire Trick Timing is not reliable-- Does it update to Hboot 1.29?

-My Hboot before get S-Off was 1.27 after S-Off 1.29, Is Hboot 1.29 good for any custom ROM out there?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you will either get juopunutbear hboot (1.27.1111) or the current stock one (as you claim it should be 1.27) ..no way it updates to 1.29 HBOOT ...

if you flash a firmware ..the hboot changes too ..so you might have done that (like universal 3.33 firmware)

juopunutBear

i was trying to S-off my device with juopunutBear, but it failed and now my android (htc sensation xe) is stuck on the green arrow and i dont know how to recover it.

please help anyone what are the commands in details (step by step please)

thank you all
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Your phone cannot be stuck in the Juopunutbear screen while using this method.

You have probably unlocked your bootloader and are using the unlocked version of controlbear.

Also, you should re run controlbear till you get the wire trick right & S-OFF is achieved.

But if you don't want S-OFF, you can find instructions here: http://unlimited.io/troubleshooting

[HTC Sensation] chleoj:
Im a bit confuse here. I S-OFF my device using KGS and have 4ext recovery with hboot 1.17.1111, StockRom 2.3.4.

What steps should I follow to S-ON my device??? Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
This guide to soff your device.. Not to make SON

Anyways you need to flash ruu.. Then you need to do son.. Search for Kgs guide on ruu info in sensation general section
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
First of all if you are not soff or htc-dev unlocked bootloader then this tool won't work..

If you did one of the above

Then

1.dont run the batch tool as administrator

2.you should enable usb debugging in settings-- develop options

3.keep the connection mode in either charge mode or htc sync mode
[HTC Sensation] crayon16:
After trying the wire trick for almost 10 times finally it was successful.. But question after JuopunutBear successfuly S-OFF there was a question which is "Do you want to install JuopunutBear modified hboot? (y/n)" then i press Y then enter without knowing it will change the header of the hboot from LOCKED to JuopunutBear.. Please refer to the pictures.. What i getting worried is if this result will void the warranty of my device. If the answer is yes please help me to recover my stock hboot & willing to s-off again..

Got this

Instead of this

Second question, i want to install a Recovery(Clockwork) what i need to do? i didn't get the instruction below which is "fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img"??

Lastly the CID stuff do i need to do this? Does will affect my radio? can i flash firmwares without doing this?
[HTC Sensation] Fady Refaat:
Amazing job. Brilliant

woow, you guys have done an amazing job. you are jenuis!

I thank you all for this awesome effort.

works 100% correct. Now I am S-OFFed and rooted.

Sensation XE With Beats Audio. hboot 1.29.0000

Thank you!

Keep up the awesome work.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1. When I said you won't lose warranty.. It means you can restore to stock easily when required... When you do soff that itself is enough to say.. Your warranty is void.. Now let the juopunutbear hboot stay as it is.. When required you can restore everything to stock (except soff) by just simply flashing a ruu

2.for recovery flashing and rom installation.. Check for joaquinfs guide on flashing 3.32 firmware and Arhd rom in sensation general section (post #2 only)

Cannot communicate when in Juonuptubear screen

Sorry to ask on this forum, but you guys have helped so many to get the wire trick to work and this thread is still active...

I have an EVO 3D (with hboot 1.58). My phone is HTDDev unlocked. I can run adb and fastboot commands without any problems.

My issue is that when I get to the juopunutbear screen with the green arrow, my computer cannot recognize the phone any longer.

I have tried many, many times over. I have recovered and reflashed roms but no matter what the pc cannot communicate with the phone once it gets to the juopunutbear screen. It just keeps waiting... or it asks to connect the phone (when it already is connected).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Armando

that it mean my phone S-off anyway instead of showing s-on??
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
you said in the other post:

So I though you were already S-OFF. You should delete the JuopunutBear backups then try again
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
sorry,it was my grammer error :(

it should be "i'm currently s-off-ing my sensation"

Btw,what should i do to remove the JuopunutBear backups??

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

i removed the sdcard.img,but it giving me the same result.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The backups will be present in controlbear folder you have downloaded/extracted..

Anyways can you explain your situation more precisely?

What rom are you on now?

What jb method (htc-dev/no htc-dev)

Etc etc
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
sorry for not making my explanation clear.

My phone was bricked recently(hard brick),and i unbricked with latest RUU flashed

(which is Europe RUU with ICS,3.33.401.106)

So,it is completely stock.

I havent unlock my XE with HTCdev yet.(no htc dev)

I repeated the step given but it just giving me the same result,with is error code:00 00 00 00.

I even deleted the controlbear folder and re-extract it to repeat the step,but no luck.

I think that all.

edit:I do not know wheather the HTCdriver is installed corrently or not,

I doubled clicked the htcdriver installer,but nothing was pop out.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Then if possible try the htc-dev unlock way.. And see

Edit:your error is first time I'm seeing it.. So better ask in juopunutbear channel.. In irc
[HTC Sensation] cwk_and:
ok,i did the HTCdev s-off and root-ed on my phone.

I opened up the controlbear.exe,now it giving me message about:

Transferring backups....

Backup ok!!

[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
i have a problem: i did the wire trick wrong a couple of times, so i restarted controlbear

though after a few times it didnt recognise my phone anymore

now my phone shut down and i cannot turn it on anymore via lockbutton.

it is still plugged into usb, what do i need to do?

s-on(i assume), htcdev locked
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you mean htc-dev unlocked ?

and phone got shut-down after wire-trick ?

if so then phone entered deep-sleep state (happens rarely) to come out of it ..remove battery,sdcard and sim ..and charge the phone over power outlet for 6-7 hours ..then it will power on

then you can either continue soff process (for tips ..check the troubleshoot point #3 for tips/tricks) and if you want to revert back to normal check troubleshoot point #4 in the first post
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
thanks, just plugged it in to charge. is it really neccesary for it to charge that long?

btw i meant that my device is not htcdev unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
yep that much time is safe bet that the device would power up ..normally the time varies for each device
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
okay, i couldnt resist and just tried it once more.

problem now is, that my device reboots as soon as i do the first tick of the wire trick.

what am i supposed to do?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
wait you said ..you couldnt power on the device ..so earlier you mean after wire trick the device just switched off ? (you were able to power it on later ?)

anyways ..the contact was made for long time ..thats why the device rebooted ..reduce the tap-pause-tap like this

0.5 sec tap -> 1.5 sec pause -> 0.5 sec tap
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
i temprooted and unrooted once more and tried it. my device ALWAYS powers of after the first (short) tick, so it doesnt recognise the second one (i suppose)

afterwards the phone does not reboot on its own, don't know why

i am now back to normal mode, still charging (though its at 100%)
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
okay i think i am gonna give it up..

in the EXACT SECOND i do the first tick of the wire trick the phone just shuts off. and it does NOT come back on, so its no use for controlbear to wait.

it just does not work. why?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
may be this

or better try the htc-dev unlock method and then soff
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
seems like it is the sd card. tried my other spare card, though after a few tries it seems to be broken... at least i could try it couple of times...without any luck, still s-on :(

don't know what to try next, since my device cant be unlocked with htcdev (replacement)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
what the other sdcard broken too ?

thats sad :(
[HTC Sensation] DasGensu:
how about formatting them? could this help?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you could tryt ..but i think new sdcard is mostly needed

Will work for you trust me bro. It takes time and passion. Make sure you are not touching and naked part of wire. And don't look at phone's screen just keep the battery side up follow the pc screen instruction and make sure to hold wire touched on memory card case. When it says to do the trick put other side in hole and pull out and put in again. That's it you'll get there.

Just keep in mind juopunut drinks enough beer :)

root issue

Hi Guys,

Apparently I lost root access.. I ran root.bat in root-sensation-windows I get the first reboot and press any key.

Second reboot - Reboots on white screen with green HTC letters and nothing else. Hangs there and does not boot.

Root Check(application) is saying I don't have proper root access. Titanium Backup says I need root access also.

I'm S-Off'd and running ViperS 1.1.0 on Faux v5 kernal

Edit: Just wanted to add, when I open Super SU and I get prompted to install binaries I get "Installation Failed!"

Any advice?

Thanks

I'm using superuser for su maintenance.. Having supersu and superuser both causes problems.. Do uninstall supersu and try my root or... Simply flash su zip from recovery
[HTC Sensation] cmajewsk:
Ran the following steps:

1.get this temproot-sensation-windows zip file

TEMPROOT ZIP

2.Extract temproot-sensation-windows.zip into a directory on your computer.

3.Plug your HTC SENSATION/XE/4G into your computer via USB. (keep the connection in HTC SYNC mode)

Recommended: Plug your device’s USB cable into the back of your computer if you’re using a desktop PC.

4.Enable USB Debugging on your HTC sensation. Settings >> Develop Options >>USB debugging (checked)

5.Double click temp_root.bat to run the script and wait until it completes. Don't touch the device during the entire process.

6.get the latest control bear from http://unlimited.io/jb_pyramidlocked.htm

download the tool from "The Versions below do not require HTCDEV unlock." this sub-section in the website

7.RUN THE JB TOOL or control-bear now

excellent guide on how to run juopunutbear SOFF is here (by auggie2k)

JB SOFF GUIDE ---START FROM STEP 5---I INSIST YOU PEOPLE TO "START FROM STEP 5"

8.once control Bear is over..don't do anything to the device and let it be connected--and if the device is left in bootloader---reboot manually using power and vol up/down

9.now you guys need to remove the temp root which you have created first

to do that Double click temp_root_remove.bat to run the script and wait until it completes. Don't touch the device during the entire process

10.congratulations you guys now have a proper SOFF

And now have a proper S-OFF. While the wire-trick took some time, it was only about 15 extra minutes. So I thank you for the excellent instructions!

I am trying now to install CWM, which you would think would be easy as I've done it on my HD2, and Desire HD, but when I go to install it, it gives me an error: Image not found. I have tried the 5.0.2.0 img.zip file but it is not wokring. I think that is becuase I am only S-OFF and not rooted, is that correct? I've search around, but what now is my best option to root my device, if I even have to? All I want to do is install custom ROMS.

Thank you!
