I'm not using windows so unaware about this drivers/fastboot drama , but I heard that S-OFF can be done with rumrunner

Rumrunner seems to be so easy !

Anyway you will need at least a system with a device detected by fastboot command.

If that is stopping you how you will flash recoveries with fastboot to play with this old phone ?

All is here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751187

Make a Linux live bootable usb key with this : http://www.linuxliveusb.com/fr/home or https://unetbootin.github.io/

I can't seem to make Google Apps work. They keep stopping in a loop even though I flashed the ROM and Open GApps at the same time. At first I didn't do that so I read a post in this thread about it, so I wiped all data with TWRP including Data partition individually using Advanced Wipe, but it still doesn't work. I downloaded Open GApps micro for Android 6.0 (ARM).
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Read FAQ at the first page
[HTC Sensation] Ranching:
I did that already, like I said in the post, but it still doesn't work. :(

Edit: I haven't read the keyboard FAQ section and I just noticed I have a problem with only a keyboard. I'll try it out, but it seems complicated.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Complicated to create a text file?

Flash opengaps. Thats all. This was 2 pages back
[HTC Sensation] bertoteo:
Thanks!:good:

About PG58DIAG.NBH (never used:rolleyes:) it ask: Reflash or DIAG. What should I do?
[HTC Sensation] Ranching:
I created the gapps-config.txt with skipswypelibs option and copied it to the root directory of my SD card along with GApps and flashed it, but the keyboard doesn't work again. :confused:

Edit: I tried five times by now and nothing works. I put the files in Open-GApps folder, but the same thing. Swypelibs install anyway.
[HTC Sensation] Ranching:
I deleted the Optional folder from the ROM's ZIP file and the keyboard works perfectly now. I still don't get why it didn't recognize the gapps-config.txt file though.
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
Waou, it has been a long time since I used this tool...

I remerber that I removed the back cover.

Boot on bootloader (vol down + power) with the file nbh on the root of sdcard.

Use DIAG (vol down), put your phone on the table and don't touch it until the end of the calibration (just few seconds only).

I can't remember if it wipe data only or repartition all emmc... Sure you will lost all.

At the end you will need to switch off the phone by removing the battery, eject your sdcard, start your phone in bootloader (vol down + power), insert your sdcard and start on recovery.

Then format or convert FS of all partitions to fit yours needs and clean flash your rom.

Edit : of course remove the nbh file from the root of sdcard.
[HTC Sensation] Ranching:
One more question. How do I root my device now that I have this ROM installed? I tried Kingo Root and perm root option of Sensation All-in-One Kit with updated adb files, but it doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] bertoteo:
Thanx, already did that (Vol-down to DIAG and then restored a backup) and it fixed my problem! And yes, the procedure wipe all data.

My doubt was about the first option "Power to Reflash", what it does?!

Merci beaucoup! :highfive::highfive::highfive:
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
I don't really know. Perhaps it flash PG58IMG.zip if also on sdcard...

happy for you that fixed your problem.
[HTC Sensation] henbruas:
Root is built into Cyanogenmod I believe, there's an option to enable it in the developer settings.
[HTC Sensation] DmitryKulakov:
LiveCD (with 32bit Ubuntu on a PC with USB 2.0) and rumrunner just worked fine, except that after a few successful steps it said that my current ROM (which is CM13) is not supported presumably :D.

With TWRP as my current recovery I can rollback to some CM12 backups, but I am not sure they are supported. And I have no big wish to restore the stock ROM only in order to get S-off. Right now I can always flash new boot.img with Flashify, when necessary.

Thanks for the tips anyway!
[HTC Sensation] Narkolai:
Hello dear Ivanich! Prompt can work the FM radio?
[HTC Sensation] mcfouch:
Now you could easily flash back to 4ext recovery with fastboot, install an ICS Sense rom to run Rumrunner, get back on TWRP and restore your previously made backup.

So you have now the necessary autonomy to definitely get rid of this S-ON ;)

Can't flash CM13

I couldn't never install CM13 on my htc sensation. It sticks on cyanogen logo. I can easily install CM12.1 on my phone. My phone is S-on. Is it related to S-on or S-off?
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
We need bigger fonts!!!

read FAQ
[HTC Sensation] vagdesign:
I wanted to thank [MENTION=4329165]ivanich[/MENTION] for the effort, I'm enjoying Android 6 on my Sensation since yesterday.

The steps I did was:

1) Unlock the Bootloader, then install 4ext recovery and get rooted.

2) Install ViperS 5.2.1 and get S-OFF with this method

3) Download today's version of CM13 and also today's version of GApps, install ROM and then GApps with Aroma installer without booting to ROM.

4) Install User Apps on SD-EXT MOD from here

So, I wanna thank you all who did your part for us to enjoy out beloved phone for more time than even HTC expected :)

Cheers and greetings from Greece.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
So you was able to install cm13 with 4ext recovery? Nice :good:
[HTC Sensation] vagdesign:
Yes, at first I used 4ext to install MIUI 7 - 5.10.23 and then tried your last 3 versions of CM3.

The only bug (I don't know why this happen) is that on some installations, if you try to reboot or shut down and boot again, the phone stucks at the white HTC screen.

Only solution is to remove the battery, boot into recovery, install All Data on SD-EXT and reboot. :)
[HTC Sensation] hpsh:
Sorry for big font, but please help me to flash cm13. I use latest twrp recovery and cm13 rom and gapps but it sticks at cyanogen logo.

Screen rotation

On cm-13.0-20160303-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid.zip often screen-rotation doesn't work. I solved installing "set orientation" app.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
For me rotation works just fine.
[HTC Sensation] andy hall:
Try WiFi manager from play store. Has helped me on other devices.
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
I had the same problem but after a reboot everthing is fine.Only thing that is not working for me beside torch is flashlight in camera I can't activate it works only in video mode.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
That's funny to read when peoples discussing about non existant bugs, without logs or anything useful :D
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
I don't know how to log this... I'm sorry it was my mistake I have choosen different camera mode (action) that's was the reason for the flashlight mode..
[HTC Sensation] andreipaval:
Why does Total RAM show only 606 MB ? (In Settings, AIDA, CPUZ)

The Sensation should have 768 MB of RAM memory. What's the catch?

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
I'll give you a hint - ION memory allocator, rest you can find with google.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
+1 curvy hands, next please :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] danishaznita:
The remaining ram is reserved for system and something like that . leaving only 606 available for us to use
[HTC Sensation] bertoteo:
After a reboot it works, but after the first time that the screen goes in stand-by, automatic rotation stop to work until the next reboot.

What log/information should I provide?

Thanx
[HTC Sensation] persei:
I can argue, rotation works fine any time. This on 90% means that problem is on your side - probably one of your apps brokes or locks rotation, or may be you need a clean install (wipe /data)

How to take logs? Google it, use adb logcat and watch for something screen-related
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
If you did the Android N beta OTA, you might have noticed something is missing—there's no more painfully tedious optimizing apps pop up after the update. This step is over almost instantly following the update to Android N. An improved version of the ART runtime is fast enough that Android doesn't need to hold you up anymore.

It would be nice feature :) I can only hope that they would not screw api or drop another portion of legacy stuff that required to run android on legacy phones like Sensation:)
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
Why despite enabled to WiFi was always on the WiFi settings when you turn off the screen and so turns off WiFi?
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
I'm sure you use some app for "battery saving" or similar crap

[IMG="Proof you are wrong"]http://s11.postimg.org/szk3nuolv/Screenshot_20160310_171621.png[/IMG]
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
Only I just installed ROM and GAPPS PICO, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Search and Chrooma Keyboard.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Maybe you have poor signal from your wifi router or router uses some sort of aggressive power saving
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
Here I have always enabled WiFi, saving battery is just what I found, I do not know anything else.

I have a very good router, TP-Link WDR4300 with Gargoyle. The range of very good, high bandwidth, and it is me 4 meters. No other device has no problems with it. Sensation to your CM11 also never had such problems. Only at the CM13 met with this. Today, for the first time to install it on a purely format of data and system. I do not know where to look for something more.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Ok, that means we both have identical routers and phones(I have wdr4300 too) but my router running OpenWRT and I have no issues with wifi on sensation or other devices as well.

EDIT: Try to set "Keep wifi on during sleep" to Never instead of Always, I suspect this is because of poor translate of that string.
[HTC Sensation] egon0:
Nice. Same setup here. WDR4300 with current OpenWRT. I have also the wifi problem...
[HTC Sensation] persei:
Boring mode on

How about connecting phone to pc and take logcat during sleep? Its helped me to catch issue with exotic ipv6 announce
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Whaat? pc adb logcat what is that and tell me how I can do this? Please help!! - Actually this is template for about 90% of answers, so don't even waste your time.
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
The problem, however, on the side of the router. I totally do not know what the problem is. I restored the original firmware and it is the same. A Sensation connected to the hotspot on a laptop does not disconnect. :(

I think I'll go back, however, to CM11. Great job, CM13 works fine.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
I'm lost, so your problem is that your sensation turns off wifi when screen off. You tried stock firmware for your router and it still disconnects? But with laptop hotspot wifi stays on when screen off?

wifi drivers for cm11,cm12 and cm13 are the same - so I have no idea why it works in cm11 but disconnects with cm13 for you.
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
Yes, exactly. I did Sensation wipe. On the router I put the original firmware. Hotspot on a laptop assumed using: http://lifehacker.com/turn-your-windows-10-computer-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot-1724762931

CM13

CM11

Also completely I do not know what to blame.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Try next, in cm13 developer options tick checkbox "use legacy DHCP client" under the Network group. According to your router logs this make sense, but all that frequent dhcp cycles can be just a result of wifi reassociation.

[HTC Sensation] bertoteo:
By the way, I tried to wipe cache or reboot many time, also wipe all data/factory and reinstall: after the first lock screen automatic rotation stop.

Solved with installing new cm-13.0-20160310-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid.zip, no problem anymore
[HTC Sensation] WSZR:
I know what the problem is. WiFi turned off the screen disconnects the channel set for 2.4GHz above 10.

From the technical side, can anyone explain this?
[HTC Sensation] persei:
And again: logcat for NetworkManager can tell you many things...

I can be very boring :)

Thanks a lot, I've requested access to SpiritFM Radio, if it's the same as Spirit UL you can buy from Play Store, we're good, if not, it will be good to have it for test.

[HTC Sensation] sunanulh:
SpiritFM works well but after using the FM radio, system sounds (like touch sound, keyboard sound, etc) was gone.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Screw this fm radio, I'm done with it.
[HTC Sensation] pbazw:
"Ok, Google" if enabled kills audio output

@ Ivanich is this still a true statement? Do you mean no sound because not sure I've experienced it.
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
Steps to reproduce, try to make a phone call when "Ok,Google" enabled.
[HTC Sensation] pbazw:
I have sound either way but it may be clearer with OK Google off.:good:

As a side note have been able to get flash light to stay on for better then 2 min and battery life is great.:good::good::good::good::good:
[HTC Sensation] FlyingJubbegaster:
Hello, Ivanich. I updated yester afternoon (cm-13.0-20160312-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid.zip) and updated lastnight to cm-13.0-20160313-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid.zip. But now there is a problem with the alarms. When the alarm goes off, It always puts the alarmscreen on the lockscreen and then you could swipe to snooze or close/end alarm. Now you get a message. Then you have to unlock and swipe topdown to get the messages, and one of them is the alarm message. When I try to swipe the message to either side I get the message 'Clock stopped', and the alarm sound stoppes.

I think you do a great job. The only thing I mis or haven't found yet, What is changed (release notes) in this release, so you can decide for yourself if you want to update or not.
[HTC Sensation] persei:
Yes, i can confirm. It looks like bug in upstream cyanogenmod, they reworking clock/alarm
[HTC Sensation] ivanich:
cm-13.0-20160314-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid build with partially fixed audio bug when "Ok, Google" kills output audio after a phone call, anyway because of this dirty fix "Ok, Google" sometimes loses access to mic and can't be started.
