Ok as soon as some one reads the title they would be thinking another thread by a noob. I may be a noobb but after having many android devices and installing many custom ROMs its hard act like a noob. But i am really frustrated with the complications that are involved in getting the S OFF on HTC Sensation.

I have gone through all the possible posts on achieving the S OFF but with no luck at all :( Now can some one please help me here????

Ok now my phone is running Hboot version 1.18 and i have tried the revolutionary method some 10 times and i also looked in to this tool as well http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668276 but still cant get S OFF. I have few questions for which i have searched all over the web only to find different answers.

Do i need both S OFF and Unlock on the phone to install a custom ROM? And also do i need the S OFF first to do the super CID? Because i thought if i can at least have the super CID i can run a different RUU and have ICS. But again failed to achieve CID it says HTC_038 instead of 11111.

I have read in several places that i need the latest 3.32 firmware to install a ICS ROM. So i am yet to figure out how on the earth can i install the 3.32 firmware.

I have unlocked my phone using HTC Dev website and i have also rooted the phone. I have installed the CWM but not able to flash a custom ROM. So should i have first done the S OFF and then unlock it or can i still S Off on the phone with the boot loader unlocked?

So in case if i have to re lock the device then do the S OFF , can some one give a link to the latest RUU?

Or can some one help me find a way to S OFF???? Thanks for any help.

1.SOFF is pretty simple for you ..don't know what actually caused you the problem as you havent mentioned what error happened when trying SOFF process

now when you said you tried revolutionary you might have zerg root failed error

if thats the case

kgs tool would have solved the issue ...but you are saying that failed too (which normally wont happen)

that says that you tried kgs tool with unlocked bootloader and having cwm recovery also root ..to SOFF which wont work

(the alternative to by pass the zerg root error revolutionary has a prerequisite which is to have everything completely stock )

now ...the question comes how to do SOFF then

kgs tool has already given the solution (YOU read all the guides and searched all over the world ..but forgot to read the second post in the kgs tool guide )

as i am a good man :p and i feel like helping a blind person :p :) ...i'll tell you where

in the second post of the thread you've linked

TIPS sub section - 6th point ..please foolw the post there ..to make SOFF work

now regarding the other questions

1.no way you can flash a firmware unless you are SOFF

2.once you got SOFF via revolutionary ..dont even bother about HTC-dev unlock ...as the bootloader provided by revolutionary after SOFF(engineering-bootloader) ..is much much better than the HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader

3.After SOFF best guide for you to flash ICS rom is this (post #1 and post #2)
[HTC Sensation] shri080:
Thanks a lot for you quick reply. really appreciated !! I am not a complete blind though :P well i tried restoring the recovery image back to stock then tried the kgs tool but it again failed. The only thing i had not tried was to do the factory reset after restoring the stock recovery. I extracted the stock recovery.img by running the Indian RUU. But i dont know if it makes any difference if i flash the recovery image attached in that post. Let me try that too :) Thanks again for taking time to reply !!! :)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
can you please elaborate the error you got when you did SOFF ....screenshot will do too ..if you tell us the exact error you got ..you might get perfect solution

until then it will be shot in the dark :D

PS: regarding the blind comment ..dont take it seriously ...its meant to be sarcastic thats all :D

I know what this error is. [ Failed to get root & taco root also fails. Happens on an unlocked bootloader ]

Please come over to the help channel: #helpmenow.

Once there, ping me by typing my name.
[HTC Sensation] deepsaha007:
ok i also had some issues to S-OFF my sensation with HBoot 1.18

now here what i did to successfully S-OFF the device and root it..

1st Download Tacoroot (as you already told that revolutionary isnt working for you) :- http://db.tt/PxZRO0d1

then switch on your sensation and connect your HTC to your PC in Charger Mode and Enable USB Debugging.. [ Remember to install HTC Drivers ]

now open adb and type the commands [ dont forget to keep the tacoroot.bin file on your adb folder ]

adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --setup

The phone will reboot to recovery.

Press Volume Up, Volume Down and Power.

Reboot.

Press the Power button once if the screen remains blank (dark).

Wait for boot.

Run the following command.

adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin --root

The phone will reboot.

Run Revolutionary and now try to S-OFF your mobile using revolutionary.

Once Revolutionary is successful, reboot.

Run the following command.

adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.bin –undo

now once its done install recovery and continue flashing your rom.

This tut i found on XDA by a member .. Thanks to him :

[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
[SOLVED]

Tacoroot did not work for him. It was something else.

In some phones, tacoroot causes the phone to get stuck on the HTC screen.

The phone can't be temp rooted that way.

This happens usually only in HTC dev unlocked phones that had custom recovery installed and then flashed stock recovery before tacoroot.

PS: anyone who wants to know how to make this work -

Root your phone by installing su.

Modify local.prop to get root prompt by default in shell.

[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
Hello everyone,

On July 7, 2011 I changed my family plan from even more plus 700 to 1000 classic. Then I was renewing contract on my main line, but not two other phones. Rep never told me that other two phones will be singed for a two year agreement and never asked me to agree to such thing.

Today I found out that other two phones are under contract and I got to pay $600 ETF. I was shocked!

Now I am trying to figure out how to rescue myself from this nonsense. Is there a way I can request a recording of my agreement over the phone? Is it possible to drag them to small claims court and demend anything if they refuse to drop the contract?

Please help me out with this, we got stuck now pretty much.
[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
T-Mobile support had replied on their forums stating that what they did was correct. I told them that I never heard representative nor conscent tool notifying me that all three lines would have contract on then and requested to see that recording, to which he said they do not keep these records and use them for quality assurance.

Now I gotta think my next step.
[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
Addition: I pressured T-Mobile through BBB.org and they removed contract from my two sub-lines. They refused at first and denied my request, but then finally gave up.
[General Questions and Answers] fcpelayo:
1. I thought T-Mobile was not part of the better business bureau?

2. You can get a previous call pulled. I was on a similar situation where I was not notified of something and I had pressured and escalated my case. The manager said she will "try" to pull the call but she said to be certain of which one I want bc its not easy. She was to call me back bc It's a process but she never did. I do believe it is hard for them to pull previous calls tho.
[General Questions and Answers] AntonJart:
The representative from executive customer relations from T-Mo said that the calls are being recorded randomly, so there is a super high chance that the call was not recorded at all. They are not a part of BBB, but BBB knows where to send complaints and how to get companies to respond to complaints.

I have certain issues on my phone and I want to restore that backup where everything was OK.

But now I'm sceptical about it beacause people have been restoring devices from Nandroid and ended up with very expensive paper weight. Is there something to be worried about? Some precautions to be taken?

And btw, Im running Wiui V4 based on Miui 2.6.29.

try using one of the earlier one click ICS releases. Then odin back to stock. I do not know why that matters, but it happened to me not too long ago. Very annoying.

Perhaps even booting into the stock 3e recovery after returning to stock. Then wiping your cache and factory reset from there might help.

[Motorola Droid 4] vyruz1986:
On the ROMBot page you can find 2 different kind of ICS ROM's for the Droid4, both CM9 and AOKP based (so 4 different ROM's)

The first kind seems to be based on the ICS leaks:

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/maserati/ics-leak-builds/cm9/

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/maserati/ics-leak-builds/aokp/

And the other kind seems to be a 'regular' build:

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/maserati/cm9/

http://rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/maserati/aokp/

Can anyone indicate what the difference between these is?

Can I flash both on my Droid4?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
The "regular" builds are for those still on stock GB. The ICS leak builds are meant for those who have updated their stock system to one of the Moto ICS leaks.
[Motorola Droid 4] vyruz1986:
So the regular ones are some kind of ICS overlay on the GB kernel? Or how should I see that?

Do they work better than the ICS-leak based ones? But I think there's no going back from the ICS leaks, right?
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
There is no going back once you flash one of Moto's ICS leaks. You are right about the original builds basically being ICS running on a GB kernel. These were kinda buggy. Data connection in particular was very flaky. The new ICS leak builds are much better because they are ICS running on an ICS kernel. The way it should be. I am back on stock ICS right now but I ran the CM9 ICS leak for 4 - 5 days and never had any issues. Data was solid. It's really coming along nicely.
[Motorola Droid 4] vyruz1986:
I'm on stock ICS leak as well, wanted to go to CM9 but I can't get into 'mobile networks' settings, probably because i'm in Europe on GSM, I got some help in this thread but at the moment it's a stand-still :(

I had the same problem when i flash wrong PIT file. so it goes to samsung repair center and the board was changed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladiac:
Sounds like the emmc superbrick bug. It is a bug in the emmc-firmware that is being triggered by erase-commands. Older Kernels did not use that command. The one in XWLPM seems to use it though which is why your emmc is now bricked after you did the wipe. Unfortunately, there is no known way to recover from this. Sorry, mate.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akmes:
Yes, it has. But angry for what? Using 3d party applications with unrestricted access?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Angry for putting devices in danger when there have been reports of eMMC damage from stock recovery (since the kernel has blocked ALL forms of erase for months, AND Gingerbread also did not perform any erase functions, it means that continuing to block it provides zero performance penalty compared to the current configuration. While damage reports have been rare and infrequent - if there is even a suspicion that the number is nonzero when technical measures with negligible cost/penalty exist that are guaranteed to render the number zero - those techniques absolutely should be applied! In short, it's a reckless risk with no justification to even let nonsecure erase commands through at this point. The penalty for being wrong about the safety of that command is simply not worth the slight write performance benefits that might be achievable.

Angry for making it easier for malware authors to permanently damage devices. While it's fairly easy for almost any Android device to get hardbricked by just overwriting the bootloaders with zeros, and so we'll always be one privilege escalation exploit away from that, such damage is at least recoverable via JTAG and Samsung's own service centers. Right now, eMMC damage cannot be repaired in the field, and in fact it seems that while repair is theoretically possible, Samsung's own service centers aren't able to do it yet and are simply replacing motherboards, often charging users for it.

Last - Angry that Samsung said weeks ago they were aware of the issue and working on a fix. Not only has a fix to protect devices from damage not been deployed to any device (which I could understand - the whole "everything must be tested" thing), a device that WAS previously protected from damage no longer has protection - it is clear that a change WAS made and enough time has passed for releases to pass testing. What's more, those releases passed through testing with what is now a well known and dangerous flaw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idpro:
then do you think I wait or buy new motherboard
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
You may be able to fix this if you wait - HOWEVER there's a good chance you'll still need JTAG recovery even after repairing the eMMC damage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remorema:
well said mate. samsung really did shoot themselves in the foot with this one.

how can a firmware update be released with this kind of "bug"?

I'm pretty sure the firmware has to pass a lot of tests before beeing let ou to public.

Never tought this could be possible at a big company such as samsung.

If you buy a unbranded china tablet,well this kind of thing is "acceptable", but by samsung standards this should never ever happen.

I'm really really dissapointed.

well lets see if they replace my MB or phone without charging me any costs, but even if they do, I'll most likely sell the phone and runaway from the samsung trademark

do you know where to buy the emmc chip? 16gb

I think I'll buy it online because I'm in Egypt
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
I am fairly certain Samsung does not sell these chips directly. Even if you could find a replacement chip, unless it came from an I9100, it would likely not have the boot partitions properly configured (this is normally only something the chip manufacturer can do). Finally, even if you could find a proper replacement chip, the chances of you removing the old one and soldering a new one successfully would be very slim. It is a fine-pitch BGA package.

I contacted Samsung and that's their reply

Dear IBRAHIM DIAB,

Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.

Please find hereafter, our response.

As per your enquiry, kindly be informed that you have downloaded illegal/unofficial ROM version from unauthorized website; not Samsung official website.

The Main Board damage happened due to non compatibility between your device Main Board specifications and Russian software specifications, not due to Factory Reset: you have installed a European Software version on Middle East device version: “Devices specifications may change from region to another”.

Hence, we extremely apologize for inconveniences. However, Samsung electronics will not cover any warranty for unauthorized/unofficial update done on the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remorema:
lol. were you dumb(honest) enough to tell them you flashed an unofficial rom ?

I just played stupid and tell them it died out of nothing. stupid... maybe... but then again with a dead chip they'll probably have no way to find out.
