OTA Update To 2.3.4

So I updated my Sensation to 2.3.4 and now I'm just wondering if I have an unlocked bootloader on my phone. Did the OTA give me an advantage to go and root my Sensation?

Nope

So then how do I go about rooting it. I don't know if I have S-off or not.

Turn off phone. Hold down lower volume and press power. Then youll see your bootloader screen and look and see if it says s-on.

Mine says locked, so yeah the OTA does not unlock your phone.

Do NOT unlock it. You warrenty will be void and HTC will know.
S OFF, flash CWM, then flash su

All he was asking was if the ota gave him s-off. Thats not gonna happen. The only way your gonna inform htc that you soff is buy them through there website. Just soff through alpharev and root flash radio update and youll be good. There is the direction thread in stickies ok. Kids these days

Q how do you flash a hboot from a ruu zip file??

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

You would first have to extract the rom from the ruu file and then extract the hboot from that. Idk if it is in a flashable form tho...

Got to ask, why would you want to ?

Because I am trying to send the phone back to HTC. When I rooted the phone is used the revolutionary method. Now after installing the stock Ruu and thanks using the phone back to s-on it says locked in bright pink letters. After reading the forums it says i have to flash the stock hboot from the stock RUu
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

wouldn't just running your stock ruu flash everything back to how it was? hboot and all

I have tried that it did until I updated the ota then now it says locked in the pink lettering and the hboot is 1.7.000

Dude, unlock the phone, S-off, supercid, permaroot and clockwork and then install any rom you want. The guide in the forum is very simple and easy to use.

You need to s off and super CID to flash your phone with ANY ruu. It's the only method to debrand your phone as you so wish to do.

Also you can download it to your pc, connect the phone and run ruu.exe.

You need superCID or the ability to change your CID to flash most any RUU.

Thanx I've been trying to figure that out all night I'm glad I can use Sense 4 is there something specific I have to do as far as flashing I'm on latest 4ext recovery
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

What about AOKP and other Aosp type roms without sense on them will they work

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

what the state of your phone bootloader..?, unlocked or locked..?, s-on or s-off..?, or all still in stock..?
if it is still in stock...did you already tried to do a factory reset from the bootloader..?

RUU(Rom Update Utility) is the official stock rom for the device
otherwise follow bouchakour1971's suggestion(if you want to root and flash a custom rom)
