If I boot the phone into bootloader it loses connection to the PC and any flashes via bootloader itself are impossible as well.

In contrast I don't lose the connection while booting in recovery mode and flashing a zip COULD BE possible..
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
That is not really possible.

Remove your sd card. Remove the USB cable from the phone.

Remove & reinsert the phone battery.

Press Vol down + power till you see the bootloader.

Select fastboot & connect the USB cable.

You should see fastboot USB.

If not, get the drivers.
[HTC Sensation] fnstGoliath:
Yes, I do see fastboot usb but still adb doesn't find the device anymore after booting to bootloader and RUUs always stop at "Restarting Bootloader"

Are you using Windows Vista?

If yes, disconnect your phone from the PC, first kill adb.exe kill from task manager, then wmdc.exe from task manager & try again.

Post back with results. There may be another method if that doesn't work.

Can't go into bootloader after installing RUU... is my device s-on already??
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
You can almost always go into bootloader if your device isn't in a dead state..

Remove USB cable. Remove & reinsert battery.

Hold voulme down + power.

Most likely, the Asia WWE should work fine for you.

Sorry for being a complete noob, but i really need help now!

6 months ago a bought a htc one s, not knowing it was an s3 modell i bought. I didn't think much about it, i rooted it and flash twrp recovery on it.

I was going to install a custom rom on it, but never got that far because i was afraid i might brick it (since i'm a noob). so i restored the backup i had before i rooted it, so bootloader was unlocked, no root and twrp recovery.

This week i got an update (Finally) to JB. but i can't install the update for whatever reason, i tried installing it from twrp but it always gave me an error (don't remeber what error), and then i was stupid enough to relock the bootloader, so now i can't go into twrp.

Since all this **** happend, i thought i'd go back to full stock. Then i found out i somehow i got a taiwan version of the phone (which is odd since i bought it in Finland), well i kinda figured when i couldn't get my native language (swedish). So i found out that i've got a phone with region number 709 (TWM-TW HTC__621). I've tried to find a stock RUU for my phone, but no luck there. I've googled it, searched xda but without any luck.

So, my question i think is:

1. Can i somehow get my phone to s-off and change the cid number and use an other RUU?

2. Can it harm my device if i'll use an europen RUU if i'm s-off?

3. What the H**l should i do now?

4. Is there anyway i could get an europen RUU with s-on? Or can that only be done with s-off?

I'm really nervous right now, because i love this phone and i'm a student with not very much money, so i don't want to break it in any way!

Thanks in advance! :D

(I hope i don't piss a lot of people off now, but please forgive my in that case):angel:
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
what is mean by this step? Hold down shift and right-click anywhere in the empty space inside the window.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Before I answer these questions, I'd just like to remind you that this is for the HTC Sensation. Some of these methods may not work on a One S.

Anyway,

No, there are no publicly released S-OFF methods for the One S to the best of my knowledge.

No, but without S-OFF, this most likely will not even be possible.

If you're on a stock ROM, then flash stock recovery, relock bootloader, use official OTA.

If you're not on a stock ROM, then you can't get the update from HTC, nor can you force flash an OTA because of S-ON.

I advise that you screw up any further than you already have.

Take the official OTA or go completely custom.

That is to open cmd in the current folder. I don't know how else to explain that.
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
Wanted to ask..if I use is to restore back from stock but I unlock my phone thru htc dev..will I still able return in for warranty..sorry being a noob here
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you unlock your bootloader again you will lose your warranty
[HTC Sensation] wchiichang:
How to say I unlock again?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:

i misunderstood your post

if you follow the guide and return into completely stock(stock recovery,S-0N, locked bootloader)

you won't lose warranty

HELP!!

First time poster, attempting to unroot Sensation 4G- Tmobile.

CID T-MOB010

Software 3.32.531.14

"Relocked"

"Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL

HBOOT- 1.27.0000

Radio-11.23.3504.07_M2

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

eMMc-BOOT"

and I am in "FASTBOOT USB"

I have followed the guide thoroughly, re-locked it. Downloaded all drivers, found my RUU and downloaded it.

When I "double-click" the exe of my RUU, which is "RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed"

And it shows me the first screen with a status bar, setting up the instal wizard or whatever, but then the program just disappears. No error, or failed message follows, it just closes itself down or something.

So, I then followed the guide and went to step 4.

Upon going to my temp folder, there is NO zip in the temp folder with the "464354359324823948" characters and numbers(not the exact name, just an example).

Edit: Attempting to do this again, I have the first folder, with random characters. WIthin that there is another folder, with random characters, but the second folder is blank as well, unfortunately.

At this point I re-read the guide top to bottom, and feel like I covered everything. So Im stuck!

(If I have not provided the enough background or information please let me know)

This is all new to me, when I got the phone it was unlocked and rooted, but the wifi did not work.

I just want to go back to stock software, etc.

Let me know if I missed a step or if there is a work around for this issue, I feel crazy!!! lol

Thank you much! and Reps will gladly follow any help.

Edit: Not sure if this would work, but could someone post the exact zip I need? So I can just download that, and do it that way.

Edit 2: What would happen if I did "factory reset" from this white recovery screen? Im very tempted, but scared.

EDIT 3: All I had to do was run the RUU exe as "administrator" because I was on a secondary login on windows. Sheesh.

HELP

I performed step 3.3, and now my device won't boot into bootloader or anything. If this just bricked my phone, i'm gonna be real pissed...
[HTC Sensation] Bobsteriffic:
So I bricked it, but was able to recover it using the "Ubuntu" method. Successfully unlocked so never mind. Thanks for the tutorial!
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
The guide clearly states at step 3.3 that you shouldn't do it on an unsigned bootloader and only do it if your Hboot says LOCKED or UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.

You probably did it on a Revolutionary or Juopunutbear Hboot.

Good to know you fixed it though.

please help sos from ecuador !
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
If you did it off your SD Card also, I can see no reason why your phone is misbehaving.

Are you sure the flash was successful?

Did you have this problem even before you flashed the RUU?
[HTC Sensation] ferropolit:
in instalation via fastbook all is ok y dont get a message that says is a bad instalation yes i got this problem before flash rom i have this problem trying to install a custum rom thats why i try this method the problem is that get stock on htc green letters white backgroung any idea ?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
You must have an Unlocked bootloader.

Your bootloader must be relocked before flashing the RUU.

As for your problem with Custom ROMs, either follow the steps in this post or in this thread.

Even if you are S-OFF, you need to have a hboot like Juopunutbear or Revolutionary to flash ROMs without having to flash boot.img separately.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
Thanks, great guide! Wish I had it back when I had my first experience...

Speaking as per my own experience:

I ended up using the latest Firerats (dunno if its an alpha or beta) since I found myself flashing different ROM's and ROM updates quite a bit, for me it didn't require the use of a boot flash, rom works fine for me (spare some thoughts on this?, maybe just not required for the Alpha/Beta as abandoned work)...

Side note:

If you dont want to download an app to flash from the market to find out the space your rom is going to use for /system (at least, and for fresh install only), simply unzip your ROM and GApps to the same directory and right click and view the properties, this is its uncompressed size, and using a 4Mb buffer my self (Id recommend 8Mb just to be safe for most), Its normally right on the money for SOD or Size On Disk...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
What version of firerats are you using? And I agree with you about the unzip method, and would have included that, but I wanted it to be as easy as possible for people who don't know what they're doing, and usually, 'an app for that' is the best way to go. Not saying it isn't easy to unzip, check the size, and rezip, I just thought an app that checks it for you would have less possibility of confusion. It does make the process a bit longer, yes, but at least people don't have to mess with the file at all.

On my own side note: After the several hours spent writing, rewording, adding, changing, and moving things around in this guide, I'm pleased to say it's 100% complete. No further changes that I can see happening. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hammerfest:
I think 1.59 alpha... after a system crash a few months ago, i havent had the need to re-bookmark the firerats mediafire folder... I really should, and seeing as most file share hosts are closing down or restricting free access to files I really should re-download and archive them... god knows how many things I have lost because of the MAFIAA fiasco's...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Yeah that might be a good idea. Personally I've never used any alphas or betas so I really don't have any input for them lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Bumping my own thread...lets get some more views for this thing! If you haven't tried it yet, or have questions about it, or simply don't know what it does, send me a message or post on this thread! It's really a very useful mod for those of you that use or like installing lots of apps... :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hmoobphajej:
Thanks for the guide to this. The only problem I may seem to have is that when I follow all your steps at 11b this is what I get:

mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2s apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!

Is that correct? Or am I doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
I see no reason to use both scripts combined. The data2ext you can have 2048mb/2gb That should be more than enough space for all your apps. Although this is a good write up I see a lot of conflict with using both mods together. One or the other should do. I'd recommend data2ext. You can create a 2048 partition and it will run just fine on a class 4 or better sd. Anything lower and you might suffer glitches like screen freezing, apps missing,lock up's and reboots. If you have a stock sd or a higher capacity sd but without a class rating or class 2 then I recommend firerats mod. Also you could very well run both of these mods and have not one problem whatsoever so it just user experience and preference I'm referring to.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You have to unmout the partition first.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] phoenix6189:
App2sd

Yea, I got that too, is it not working for you.

If not, add "/system/etc/init.d/40data2ext --enable" That made it work for me. Don't add "".

after reboot and the memory still hasn't change then go back in to terminal manager and add the above line and then reboot, should work then, never got firerats to play nice with the script, so i just use data2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
That's all true, but the reason I combined both is to customize the /system and /cache partitions, while still allowing my 2gb data partition to work. This way I have control over what size I want each partition to be.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
You can still achieve that without the combination of both mods.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fforward72:
In step 11 you said to reboot into rom immediately after flashing data2ext2-v7.zip and open terminal emulator. But terminal emulator isn't preinstalled in my rom. Is it ok to install it from play store after I flash data2ext2-v7.zip or this is not right?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
You can install from the market
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fforward72:
Thanks a lot!:o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
How? The firerats mod allows you to change the /system and /cache partition sizes, but from what I can find, data2ext only applies the /ext partition to the /data partition to make the phone utilize the /ext partition as /data, and doesn't allow for modification of the /system and /cache partitions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
Updated :D
