ugh its not working for me.. trying to unlock my sister's bootloader. and then root. i followed the steps when i try to flash a recovery i get an error. i figured the s=off failed so i tried that again and i it says you are S-off already... wtf

maybe it is because i tried to flash the recovery through the sensation all in 1 tool kit.. should i try it the old fashion way?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Nooooo don't unlock the bootloader

When you got soff why unlocked bootloader?

You can have eng-hboot

Anyways you got remote not allowed error? When you tried to flash recovery?

Then probably you got locked bootloader

(check by going to bootloader)

You need to flash eng-hboot

Go to http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/

Then get the jb_hboot.zip of pyramid ics one (I.e. Sensation one)

And flash it with phone connected in fastboot to pc

Instructions In the same link

Once flashed come back to bootloader using this command

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then flash recovery it works for sure

every time i do the wire trick it keeps rebooting and it gets me back to the homescreen:(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
What the output on command window say?

Still sober and some error 633376?

Then reduce the pause time a bit I.e 1.5 seconds during wire trick

I. E. Tap 1.5 sec gap and tap again

many thanks... ganesh for properlly guide me.

my xe start now with costom rom(ARHD)

now can i go to flash stock ics or stay with ARHD rom?

i have download stock ics but its an .exe file. how can i flash .exe file?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1.There is a way to say thanks in xda :p :D (by hitting thanks ;))

2.good that yu are now running ARHD

3.why do you want to go to stock again ? for SOFF ? (you already got htc-dev unlocked botloader ..you can flash roms ..but need to do just an extra step (enabling smart flash) )

i recommend you to stay this way now ..for few days ..if you got any reception problems and need to flash radio etc etc ...then SOFF is required..no problems then no need for SOFF until then

4. the RUU needs to be run from PC only ....but you need to connect the device from fastboot ..and also you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU

(but not required to use it now..just stay the way you are now :D)
[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
Are you sure you're S-On? You wouldn't have been able to upgrade your hboot unless you're S-OFF.

And with ICS firmware you need an ICS ROM. Download and flash any ICS ROM and your phone should work.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
That implies he is S On.

Also, the right solution would be to extract the boot.img from the ROM he flashed & follow Extra 1 step from this guide
[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
it keeps saying s-off failed errorcode:66732337

do i do the wir trick twice or once and can you help me on the timing:(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
the error you got is failed wire trick

you need to tap the hole twice

hold the sdcard end of wire ....then with the other end of the wire

tap the hole once(make sure you touch the hole properly) ......then give a gap of 1.5 seconds....then tap again

tap = touch the hole completely for 0.5 sec and remove immediately
[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
it still doesnt work it still keeps giving an error code do i need to be very persice on the time
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Reduce the pause time to about 1.4 seconds, especially if your phone is switching off). Make sure that the tap is short, but proper contact is made.

In my honest opinion, unlock your bootloader via HTC Dev & use normal version of ControlBear (after completing the prerequisites). S Off in less than 5 tries mate.
[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
my phone keeps turning off then i have to manually boot it up or i use the wire trick to turn it back on
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Shorter pause ~1.3s. If it still fails after another 10 tries, change the SD Card & try again.
[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
so it might be the sd card that makes it give me an error code
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
No, not necessary. I cannot say anything for sure about the NO UNLOCK method because it doesn't always work correctly. Keep trying is all that I can advise you.

Follow the previous suggestions too.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Nooooo its not

Just the wire trick is not proper

Keep the pause around 1.5 seconds and make sure the two contacts are proper

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
I'm afraid that it does work correctly but the wire trick timing range is terribly less.... So proper and accurate wire trick does the job

[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
i have been trying since yesterday and still it wont give me s-off
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Try changing the wire.. And wire trick is tough phase (for some and you've fallen into that category )

Thanks to the developers!

great ..there is a way to say thanks in xda :p

also if you are feel like contributing to the development please consider donating to juopunutbear developers :D
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
What is the advantage with eng-hboot ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
eng-hboot gives

access to fastboot flash commands

also it unlocks lot of other fastboot commands ..which may deem useful

Ok after been SOFF i did a downgrade to official gb to have OTA update ICS

but when i tab on update on the phone message say that there is not update:confused:what did i do wrong!!!!!

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar cid (11111111)

then install:

RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_ Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_25196 1_signed.exe

Do i need to change cid to HTC__203!!!

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes you need to change the CID for it updates to happen.. Also the ruu you used is of Europe unbranded.. So I guess you need to change cid to HTC__001

EDIT: just seen it.. The ruu you have used is not of gb but it's ics itself (but that ics is still upgraded though.. So you will get some more ota's after the ics ruu)

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] cicc74:
thanks so much i just change cid to HTC_203 and it works :eek:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:

Sorry for that noob question but i just can't find it in your How-to :

do i have to run the temp_root.bat before using the control bear? otherwhise it would be unused, according to your guide
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
step 5 is to run the temp_root.bat

step 7 is to run the controlbear ..so it does mean after temp_root.bat right ?

PS; read read read :D
[HTC Sensation] razhasnain:
does this effect phone or not.and also please explain in details.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i dont undersatnd your question

how ever im assuming you are asking about warranty part

if so ..once you done SOFF ..it changes something in the phone ..which voids warranty

however ...the process is completely reversible (i mean you can take the phone to complete stock again )..there are lots of guides for that

that way the process doesnt void warranty

and i explained all the details that are required to use the tool

if im missing any i might have already answered it ..search this thread you might find the answers for your questions if not found in OP

otherwise post back here with your questions..if not answered ..I'll answer them
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
okay, i ran your tool and it made me smile, like dark wizzardry :D

but once it finished, may i unplug the phone to take off the case? i think i will need to, in order to complete the control bear

edit: i didn't start the control bear yet, only your .bat, is this the right moment to remove the case? the back?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes you remove the case before running controlbear as you need to do wire trick :)

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
worked trough your tutorial and it took me 2h to do the wire trick correctly, but now i'm more than proud on myself :)

just a little tiny last kinda noobish question: i installed bear's hboot, i hope this didn't void my warranty? :o
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
first of all congrats :D

right now the way you are if you give phone back to HTC then you will lose warranty

but if you make your device stock by simply flashing a RUU (rom update utility) then no way you will lose your warranty :D

that's what im saying the process is completely reversible :D

Check the bootloader status.. If it's locked then you can't use fastboot flash commands.. You need to flash the revolutionary patched firmware.. Which gives you complete unlocked bootloader

Chk the firmware thread by kohr ah.. And get the 3.32 firmware based.. On your cid and flash it

Other wise do a supercid first

Command

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

Then get any 3.32 firmware then flash it

The wire trick is killing me.

I've been trying to get this done for almost three hours now, but it won't work. I'm connecting a paperclip every 1,75 second but it doesn't say that I'm connecting. It just keep on counting (1-45). I've succeeded four times but then I just get this annoying error-message which tells me that it failed.
