oh gosh i wish it could work on evo 3d too :o
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you need to ask the juopunutbear devs :D
[HTC Sensation] ShAaShAy:
i do the wire trick, somehow nothing happens and then it says waiting for device, hmm still no device, open device manager and check for adb/fastboot drivers

i have them already and they see my device

currently all i have is the status bar

please help, cuz i'm pretty tensed up :P
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
chk the step seven in the SOFF guide by auggie2k

unitl the wire trick is done properly

this message pops up and after sometime...it reboots

so my guess is the first contact itself is not proper..you need to get a better wire

if you want to remove the temp root and go back to stock (i.e to remove the only status bar)

you need to run the temp_root_remove bat file by double clicking it
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Naah I can only link the download page (i dont have permission to share their tool also I can't provide direct links)

So once they download the right tool.. The tool will be in zip format and the zip will have NOHTCDEV in its name.

Anyways thanks for the idea.. I will highlight this part

Thanks

HTCDev

Hi Ganesh, looks very detailed guide.

In your guide you have said to follow the Unlimited.IO step 2 Controlbear which actually says in the 2nd step that your are HTCDev unlocked. However earlier in your guide you said you dont need to be HTCDev unlocked. Is it ok not to be HTCDev unlocked? Sorry if that sounds extremely noob... I am all new to this rooting stuff.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes you can use this guide without using htcdev method unlock
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Steps 1,2,3 from that control bear section are exceptions to this method. You can skip them

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
if bootloader is unlocked then you should follow the other method ..where you need to root your device properly ..then you should run the controlbear (the permanent root ..you could do it via the one-click root tool present in the op ..or by flashing su zip from recovery )

Wire trick Tip:

Remove all printers/scanners and other usb devices you have before starting to do it. I failed like 200 times and then removed everything - worked in 1st try.

THANK YOU
[HTC Sensation] nerdo:
For those who find it difficult to locate the right file, at te moment it's in this page http://unlimited.io/jb_pyramidlocked.htm
[HTC Sensation] akaHardison:
Thx.Useful message
[HTC Sensation] Ste_JDM:
Would a bent out staple work for the wiretrick?
[HTC Sensation] nerdo:
It should do fine, just remember to isolate mid part where you will be holding wire part with some tape.

I used a bent out paper clip.
[HTC Sensation] alluri:
Thank you

Amazing effort -

It worked like a charm - i did only make use of Root - and is working fine now

i already had S-off

i did try ur steps too- simple and easy to follow -

keep up the good work there.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
This wire trick is the hardest thing I ever had to do -_- anyone got any tips?

I get the Still Sober error when it tries for the second reboot :/
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Check troubleshoot point #3

There are couple of tips and also a video for reference
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
That sorta helped, I've been putting the paper clip in the hole first and hitting ground second, but I still get a black screen directly after the first tap. Is it not supposed to go completely blank? Sometimes it reboots, other times the orange charge light comes on, then the green one when I press the power button, then the phone boots up after the second press.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
irrespective of phone rebooting or not ..do the wire trick (2 taps )

all those different scenarios corresponds to wrong wire trick timing ..troubleshoot point #3 has more detailed explanation :)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Watch my video & time it exactly as I do regardless of what happens on the screen or anywhere on the phone.

Unless the phone powers off or gets stuck at the white htc screen, don't remove the usb or battery or do anything along those lines.

Also, putting the wire in the hole and hitting the ground pin is incorrect. Always keep the wire grounded first.
[HTC Sensation] GazaIan:
"Aaaah, a nice sunny day!!"

****ING YES!!! FINALLY GOT IT!!!! 12 hourrs of dreadful tapping and destroying paper clips, ethernet wire. and Little Debbies powdered donuts finally paid off!! Now time to celebrate with root, 4EXT, and a custom ROM at last :D

Wonderful guide, and thanks for the scripts because I can't paste in CMD or Terminal for whatever reason, and typing it over was annoying (removed temp root to make a call or something then put it back).

As someone with no patience for things like this, you have no idea how happy I am.

Thank you, and thank kgs1992 as well or I would probably be stuck here forever.

AW: [GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)--NEW: ONE CLICK

How problematic is this with Windows 8 64bit? Its the only OS i gott right now.

I know its not recommanded but i dont have an alternative right now
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit LiveCD: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso

If you insist on Win 8, use naked drivers & make sure that the phone is detected in fastboot USB as well.

I don't recommend Win 8 though.
[HTC Sensation] Mydy:
AW: [GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)--NEW: ONE CLICK

Thanks but i cant burn Images right now :/ thats what i meant with lacking alternatives.

I'll try the liveusb Version. Would that be ok?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I'm not sure it would work..

But if you see the last 3-4 pages ppl have reported success with win 8

So give it a try.. also I heard win 7 x64 drivers are working fine.. Malybru linked it somewhere in this thread.. Or in help thread.. I think
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Yes, live USB will work fine.

I recommend this: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/

EDIT: If ganeshp says it's fine, you can use Win 8 :)
[HTC Sensation] Mydy:

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

WINDOWS 7 & 8 DRIVERS

:)
[HTC Sensation] Mydy:
Thank you all for your help and this awesome guide. (maybe u can add a how to install/flash 4ext or relink it)

I got now s-off and fully working rooted device and 4ext. I used windows 8 64bit on my acer notebook. No problems occured.

S-off was done on the first try. If u want u can add this to op that this combination worked flawlessly. (for future noobs like me :p)

Thanks again :good:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
glad that it helped you

regarding your suggestion ..i rather keep it this way ..as people after soff ..first thing they try to do is root so i provided root tool too

flashing 4EXT and a custom rom installation is entirely a different ball game and there is already an excellent guide for that (in sensation general sticky thread ..by joaquinf ) so i don't want to add more clutter :)
[HTC Sensation] resident of userland:
???

I tried the wire trick a few times, but failed.

Maybe it's because I didn't get the correct timing. But is there a possibility that it didn't work because of the 256 mb micro sd card I'm using ? :eek:

In addition, every time after I failed to do the wire trick, all I can see on my device is the notification bar while the rest of the screen is black.

To use it after doing this, I have to restore my CWM backup. Any solutions ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The sdcard is fine.

The black screen with just notification is because of the temp root..

You just need to remove temp root that's all..just run temp_root_remove bat file.
[HTC Sensation] 0088:
I have unlocked bootloader and root. But if I try Juopuntbear it just give me this:

Starting up......

Connecting to device...

Searching to device...

Found device.....Detected pyramid board

Found backups!

Permission denided

Quit....

Press ENTER to exit.....

Can't resolve it. Any ideas? Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
reckon this will work on mine?? Wouldn't work with Revolutionary when I tried it under Linux (HBoot version not supported).
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Check root using root checker app.. Not properly rooted it seems

It will work for hboot 1.2x
[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
You're the best!!!!
[HTC Sensation] 0088:
You are right. Thank you! :good:
[HTC Sensation] unclec:
Great guide, thanks! After the Asus525, never root anything until this sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
re

about the wire tricks...do i need to do this trick in order to root my phone??... ihave hboot 1.27 and i got my bootloader unlocked with HTCDev.... it says s-off...but i tried to install MIUI and dosent work ... when i reboot my phone after installing rom in recovery mod my phone gets stuck on boot.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The problem is with bootloader.. Flash revolutionary patched HBOOT... Get it from kohr-ah firmware thread in sensation development section the HBOOT will be at the end of the first post..

Flash that.. Just like firmware

Then flash the rom again
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
thank you...in other words you say this method is a tmporally root ? and if i have viperS 1.6.3 it will be working?? or do i need to have a backup then install stock ICS and then temproot??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Flash :

HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)

Look HERE

Post 1 & 2

:)
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
thank you !
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
well...i tried like you said...but i got some issues...i downloaded the zip ( from hboot 1.29 to 1.271100) but when i try to install it in 4ext recovery it says install aborted...i even modified the android-info.txt with my cidnum inside that .zip
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
that kind of zip doesn't flash from recovery

read again the instructions from kohr-ah's thread

you will see that it can be flashed from bootloader
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
my fault...now i tried from bootloader...it checks my sdcard and the it appears parsing...pm85img.zip and after that it goes back to the bootloader menu
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i sent you a pm

but i think you have wrong name on the zip
[HTC Sensation] Truffy:
i dont have the wrong name on the zip ...it is PM58IMG.zip.... as i downloaded it( the patch from hboot 1.29-1.27.1100)....when go in bootloader and the i press power on bootloader at checking sdcared it says something about PM58DIAG.zip....

i got unlocked bootloader(HTCDev) , hboot 1.29 S-ON and ViperS 1.6.3

i am really sorry for what i have wrote in my first post....i wrote it wrong and guys.... i am very grateful to you...even though i am the one that failed.... i am a big noob and please forgive me...,

but in order to get root(s-off) do i need to make the wire tricks from juopunutbear??
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Ok then.. Do this if you can connect to pc

First copy the PM58IMG.zip to your adb/fastboot folder

Then connect your phone from bootloader to pc.. If connected properly the phone will show FASTBOOT USB

now open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot directory and type these commands one by one

fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)

fastboot oem rebootRUU (goes to black screen with green HTC)

fastboot flash zip PM58IMG.zip (this will flash the zip)

fastboot reboot bootloader
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes.. You need to wire trick for soff.. And you can't change bootloader while being SON
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i thought he was S-OFF:confused:

nevermind
[HTC Sensation] Darshantikle:
not getting Juopunutbear screen

iam not getting Juopunutbear screen after getting to fastboot usb bootloader..

Windows 8? USB 3.0?

im using windows 8 and there's only usb 3.0 on my laptop :( will this work?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Usb 3.0 ports tend to give detection problems but there are couple of people who got success too so give it a try
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
ok how bout the windows? is windows 8 supported?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
officially unlimited site ( juopunutbear) said that windows 8 is not supported ..but if you read last 4-5 pages of this thread several people tried on windows 8 and they got success :)
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

cool. my problem now is, i tried installing the HTC drivers on my PC, but the installer said its incompatible for my PC? any help? damn frustrated already==
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE

:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
if the windows is 64 bit ..try what malybru linked

else try to install HTC SYNC MANAGER. it will get you the drivers ...once sync manager is installed ..go to control panel and uninstall only HTC SYNC (keep the rest of programs which has HTC in its name ..just uninstall HTC SYNC )

IF all ELSE fails

try these universal naked drivers (check the instructions for windows 8 OS in the same thread)
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
thanks! but how do i use this? LOL sorry. noob here

okies thanks! :D
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Plug your device in.

Go to device manager/android device.

Right click and install drivers.

Direct it to where you have them saved.

:)
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
where can i find the device manager/android device? i right clicked my computer > manage > device manager, but no android device. :(

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

will the HTC method work in 64 bit enviroment?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

On my PC ,I plug in my phone,and I can see in device manager:

"Android USB device"

I click on that ,and it says "My HTC"

Then,driver/update driver...

:)
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
hmm. thats weird. all have is this. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1775982&stc=1&d=1362318719
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you double click that Android device line,does it not give you the driver/driver update box?

:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Oi

The screen shot says you have the drivers installed!!

What else are you waiting off then?

Also no offence but if you have trouble installing drivers itself.. I think this method of soff would be pretty difficult.. So be prepared for that
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
this is wat i get when i try to update the drivers.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

As ganesh says,the drivers are already installed...

:)
[HTC Sensation] shaun3010:
its installed? but thats disk drive? ok weird. hahaha thanks.

Acheiving S-Off

Is the only way to achieve s-off and then root by doing the wire trick with 1.2x..

It's doing my head in trying that, so far unsuccessful..
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Sorry,but it is the only way.

Perseverance is all I can suggest.

Some people get it first time,others take quite a bit longer.

There are some useful hints in the troubleshooting section...

[HTC Sensation] nangitoholmes:
Thanks for the reply..

Don't suppose there is a quick way to sim unlock it without having this done in the mean time (besides paying somebody)..
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Again,you need to be s-off to use the methods on this site.

:)
[HTC Sensation] nangitoholmes:
Yep thought so, cheers..
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
Thanks guys. Done it on the second attempt. Would of been first if I had got every thing together first of all. (Took ages to find a paperclip and insulating tape.

So my repaired Phone with hboot 1.29 is now s=off

On boot loader screen it still says locked but s=off underneath????????

Next. Root and recovery. Best way forward please??

TIA
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
First get the juopunutbear bootloader flashed..

Check troubleshoot point #3.. And sign section of flashing bootloader.. Do that

Then root using my one click root.. Install the 4EXT app from 4EXT thread in sensation Development section and open it.. Install the recovery done
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Ganesh has his own one click root.

What recovery do you want?

:)
[HTC Sensation] duryard:
I had 4ext before the phone went swimming down the toilet. So stick with what I know I guess.

I was going to follow Ganesh one click root to root anyway but wondered if the 2 (root and recovery) could be done together?

Does the point 3 troubleshootiong thing, as in, it still says locked have to be done via adb. (bit of a newbie with adb. I can get there eventually but if there is a alternative? I know my CID.

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Locked only means that you are restricted in the fastboot commands that you can use.

If you want ,you can change it back to a 1.27 hboot,which is unlocked.

Do not forget to check the md5 checksum.

[HTC Sensation] malybru:

Flash the Universal 3.33 firmware.

Check google for md5 checksum and checker.

Then,wipe your phone and install a ROM

:)

This is what i got. Either with the 3.33 firmware or 1.17
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What that shows is a 1.29 hboot, and a GB radio.

Flash the 3.33 Universal firmware ,and you will see a 11.24A radio

You will then, be able to flash ICS or JB ROMS.

:)

[HTC Sensation] DroidBois:
Have tried like five times to S-OFF using the wire trick. Gave up, DEV unlocked and rooted and installed a custom ROM and seems fine now. What do you really need S-OFF for? I'm concerned I'll break my phone if I keep doing this. I've already trashed one SD card for some reason. It just won't come up any more (other cards seem fine). I hope this has not screwed my SD card slot.
