Hello , a strange thing happened to me when trying to follow this guide. After failing many times with the wire trick I decided to undo the changes. My phone was wiped, but I didn't care as I had all the important stuff backed up.

The problem is , that any app that is not a part of the stock ROM can't get online via mobile internet.

Facebook, integrated browser, play store works ok, but for example if I install firefox or IMO messenger, it won't connect.

Any ideas what might be the cause of this?

Thank you.

Help and thanks in advance

I followed the forum and youtube video on how to S-Off, Flash, and perm root my device. As far as I can tell it should be rooted but it's not. Here is what I have on my HBOOT screen

Juopunutbear

Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.27.1111

RADIO-11.23.35....

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226...

eMMC-boot

If I go into recovery I have the Clockwork screen. I still have the 'su.zip' file in there. I doubled checked and unzipped again and it gives me the two okay's. I reboot and I have the superuser icon. But if I check to see if I'm rooted the root check tells me no. I figured I'd check out some forums and Some said to try the SuperSU. I downloaded that and it tells me that my su binary needs to be updated. If I try that it fails. I have internet, I have mobile. I would start the process over but from the specs I showed you, where would I? Also I did start over from the clockwork part today just to see if maybe I thought I received the 2 okays but didn't, but yea I did. Any help will be appreciated. uhhh...I mean will be extra appreciated, you forum on how to root did get me this far. Sorry forgot to mention I have a HTC Sensation 4g Tmobile

Hi, I have a some question. :) I unlock 1.27 Hboot and root with this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553

I still have S-ON, If I do S-OFF will it be enough to flash any other room? Or I have to do something else?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
even with S-ON you can flash roms

but use 4ext recovery for flashing

and before flashing always enable smartflash from 4ext

and do a nandroid backup just in case

[HTC Sensation] Boixos:
help pls

Hi i am having a problem at step 3.

when i use the all in one kit to flash the 4ext recovery it says error: device not found

i have debugging enabled

i have installed the drivers

tried all my usb ports

can anyone help me on this
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
do you have sdk tools installed?(adb,fastboot)

also in bootloader make sure that it says fastboot usb when you are connecting the device
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
I'm having the same issue as Boixos. I've verified that the SDK tools are installed and also ensured that I am on the FASTBOOT USB screen.

In my case I started going through the guide and got up to the point where the S-OFF procedures were not working for me because I was on a Win XP 32 bit machine (which is not technically supported). I switched to a Win 7 machine and my S-Off procedure worked perfectly.

Since I'm stuck at the "error: device not found" issue, I tried going back to the Windows XP machine...but both machines give the same error when I run the AMAZING toolkit. :confused:

First post BTW, hope I've followed all the forum guidelines! :D
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
use these drivers

http://d-h.st/v0p (for windows 7 & 8)

and check again usb debugging mode

use usb 2.0 ports

also make sure to be in fastboot usb screen

best wishes
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
Thanks rzr86. I tried those drivers but they don't seem to make any difference.

I've definitely got USB debugging on and am using USB 2.0 ports.

I believe I'm on the correct fastboot usb screen because if I unplug the USB cable, it actually shows FASTBOOT (higlighted in red) and when I plug the cable back in, it changes to FASTBOOT USB (highlighted in red).

Unfortunately the issue persists.

I took it a step further and tried this on yet another Windows 7 machine. I verified that I had the Android SDK installed ...and the drivers (under device Manager --> Android USB Devices --> My HTC) and it pointed to the drivers I pulled down from the link you sent me. Same issue on this machine as well.

So now I've tried it on 3 machines and all of them give the same error.

One other observation. If I unplug the phone from USB and then click on "Flash Recovery", I still get the device not found command prompt window....but then the next command prompt window shows < waiting for device >. This tells me that the tool does seem to detect the phone.

Normally if the USB cable is connected, it appears to flash the phone (on the command prompt) and shows these messages:

sending 'recovery' (6348 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.591s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 9.239s]

finished. total time: 10.833s

However nothing actually happens on the phone.

Any advice would be appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you are having FASTBOT USB ..so its not driver problem ..drivers are working perfectly fine

also the flashing is working fine (based on the command outputs you have given i can confirm that )

so now ..if the SOFF tool aka "controlbear" is not detecting your device ..make sure you met the other pre-requisites mentioned in my soff guide (link in my signature )

typically ..1. you should use only usb 2.0 ports no usb hubs also no usb 3.0 ports (if using PC ..connect to back ports)

2. uninstall any sync software ..especially htc sync ..syncing softwares sometimes tend to conflict with controlbear
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
Thanks for your response. Just clarifying here, the issue I'm having is with the AMAZING tool, not the controlbear S-OFF procedure which I have already successfully completed.

Not sure if that changes your suggestions at all, but I thought I'd mention it.
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
Unfortunately it looks like I've hit a wall. Tried this on 3 different machines and I get the same result. I guess its very possible I'm doing the wrong thing on all 3 machines but I've tried all the suggestions (different drivers, USB ports, the works) and unfortunately I still get the "device not found" error message.

Are there any alternatives I could try? I've successfully done the S-Off, I guess I need to do the Recovery step, following by flashing a custom Rom.....but I'm not sure where to go from here. Thanks in advance for your help!
[HTC Sensation] jonathan_phang:
I hit this exact roadblock when I did mine yesterday. HTC Dev was fine, then S-Off was done first time, then I couldnt flash a recovery at all. I tried looking around, and even bought the 4ext recover control app (until I realised I needed root, which I could only flash if I had a custom recovery - Doh!).

After much googling, I came across a toolkit which actually managed to push recovery. I have the RAR locally, but an trying to find the link to the page where I found it, for proof.

But if you want to try it, then extract the archive, and follow the instructions inside. You should have the correct drivers HTC drivers installed already if you have done S-OFF.

Basically

1 - Close all other toolkits etc that you have

2 - Let the phone boot normally

3 - Have USB debugging enabled

4 - Connect to USB

5 - Open the "Start here" batch file

6 - Follow the instructions

Each step you should see something verifiable that it has worked, so after the first command, you should reboot into bootloader. After the second, you should see that its been switched to Fastboot, then after the pushing of the recovery image step, then you should see the phone reboot. Then its a case of rebooting back into the bootloader and selecting recovery and that should be it.

The reovery it 4EXT touch, so nice touchscreen controls, but I've found it nice and easy to use. I was then able to use the Sensation all in one tool kit to Perm Root and then flash Albinomans CM10. I suggest that as a good JB rom to try (I wiped everything from within recovery first)

I was pulling my hair out, seeing as the apparently harder parts were done so simply. I hope this can help you

Let me know how you get on

Jonny
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
Thanks so much for this Jonny! I actually got the recovery done using the method you described and now I'm able to access the 4EXT recovery interface...it is a nice touch interface!

However after this I hit a roadblock again. I used the Sensation all in one tool to try to get Perm Root .....and guess what, I get the "device not found" error yet again.

Tried this on 2 different machines (a windows XP and Windows 7 machine) and both give the same error.

It feels like after all these steps......I'm sooooo close, I can smell it the nice new Rom....but yet, so far away!

Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
so you managed to flash 4ext

then flash this zip from recovery

http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip

it will give you root
[HTC Sensation] anoshwadia:
rzr86....thanks for the prompt reply, that did the trick! Appreciate your help!

In case there are other noobs like me reading this and were wondering how to "install" the zip file...... rzr86's suggestion required that I copied the ZIP file (from his post) to my phone's SD Card and then use the 4ext recovery to flash the phone. This was done by getting into the 4ext interface and choosing "install from sdcard".
[HTC Sensation] bostonzu:
wanted to say thanks for your guide I was able to finally s-off, unlock bootloader, install recovery and root my HTC Sensation. None of the other guides worked.

First I was on Hboot 1.29.0000

Originally I used Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool 0.4pre4 as instructed by the HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit V3.1 however something is not right with that S-off because while it does put the phone in S-OFF none of the other tools work. So then I reflashed the RUU 1.50.531.1 and used the HTC dev to unlock bootloader and followed your path for the rest. But I got a random surprise because after I unlocked bootloader the S-off was still there What really helped is that I noticed you did yours using version 2.0 of tha AIO Toolkit. That is what worked as version 3.1 failed to install the recoveries. Finally I had to move Superuser.zip from the 3.1 manually in windows and then flash it in recovery. Hopefully this helps someone else if they are stuck with 1.27 or 1.29
[HTC Sensation] jonathan_phang:
No problems, glad that I could help. Also see that you have root now, so time to pick your rom and get going :)

Hey, I've been lurking around this same thread for quite some time now. My only problem is gaining root is listed as the last step, but in Step 2 in Juopunutbear's guide it says it's a requirement to be rooted.

I'm confused can someone help me please.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
there are two versions of juopunutbear

one method requires ... HTCDEV unlock and root as per-requisite ...and the wire trick part is comparatively easier

the other method (my soff guide..link in my signature) just requires temp root (which ive provided as scripts) ...this method is actually targeted to people who cant HTCDEV unlock due to motherboard change after repair ..but works for others too ..but the problem here is wire trick is comparatively tougher than the previous one

now make your chioce :)
[HTC Sensation] Zane2k13:
Ohh.. I just finished unlocking my bootloader and it was successful, what step do I take next?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
go with the first one ..just use my one click root tool ..if you are comfortable and root it ..then off to juopunutbear
[HTC Sensation] Zane2k13:
*Nevermind I'm rooted now* Does Juopunutbear support Win7 64bit?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:

Oka, I'm now S-OFF and succeeded. What step do I have to take now...
[HTC Sensation] ferrao_malchom:
Now u can super CID your phone

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)

and then u can flash ur required custom recovery if u need to change it else then go for custom ROM

Phone is booting and working normally but cant seem to flash a recovery

The revolutionary tool and all in one toolkit both cannot find the phone but the pc sees it in sync drive etc

Htc drivers are still installed and i have usb debugging turned ion

Did I miss something?

you are S-OFF now and with 1.27.1111 you are cmpletely unlocked

If u have have done the s-off properly then make sure the u place the do the following procedure:

- download the rom

- verify MD5 checksum and match it (that's how u will know that download is proper)

- format everything except SD card

- install the new ROM

Read the guides for serval times (I. Am Dutch, so to get into technical guides is a bit difficult for me, but anyhow I pulled it off many times in the past) and there are serval guides to root my sensation z710e, so I said in my first post!

Recovery not working?

Hi,

I am having some issues that I can't quite figure out.

Here's what I did:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) Gain S-Off

3) Update firmware to 3.33

At this point when I start into the bootloader I see:

Firmware 3.33

Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

Jan 13 2012 17:33:34

At this point though, I can't seem to be able to boot into recovery.

If I do, the phone reboots into a "normal" boot.

I suppose this is an issue due to the update of the firmware? I notice that when I go into HBOOT it looks for files P...IMG.zip which it does not find since I renamed it.

I re-installed fw 3.33 again and followed (again) the instructions to the letter: let it update everything, then remove the SD card and only then press the power button. Perhaps there's a better way?

Thanks in advance for the help ...
