Having some problems unlocking my sensation,
Ive got s-off, installed clockwork and rooted it with another rom (done the cid etc),
now unlocking it in Terminal Emulator i just get access denied on phone, so i went for using "PG58DIAG " it doesnt seem to have done anything except re-set my phone and data.
Ive also tried the "adb" on pc and get access denied aswell
Any help??
thanks
If you used a ruu to install another rom you need to redo the rooting.
In the post where the steps to rooting are stated that you lose your root after a reboot unless you install a file. Did you do that?
Yep i installed su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to permanently root it, would it be worth doing it again incase there was an error or something?
In the bootloader i have
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot 1.18 0000
radio 10.14.9035.02_2
emmc boot
Ive just noticed when i go for recovery i get the phone with a warning triangle and nothing else, what has happened there??
Anyone else?
Ive re-done clockwork install,
should i just root from the start again?
If someone could help i would be willing to make a donation

i wanna know the steps you did to root the phone cause by lookin at this i can guess that you ran revolutionary, installed cwm, rooted your phone and than installed a stock ruu. if you did this than a) your hboot changed b) you lost root c) you lost cwm. if this is what you did than you are gonna have to run the process again from the beginning skipping the installation of a stock ruu of course. anytime you install a stock ruu than you will lose root, cwm and your hboot will change. hope this helps.
Thanks
i think that might be the problem, Ive flashed on revolution rom now, and i tried terminal and i get the numbers but no unlock code just the date im going to try the other method now and if that doesn't work ill start from scratch.
So much harder than installing android on my hd2 lol.
Ive re-done everything and now i get "su not found"
Hi guys.. I really hope someone can help with this as i am desperate.
I unlocked my Desire S with Revolutionary, then upgraded HBOOT to ENG 2.00.0002. Until now ,after running all roms possible found on this great site, I had the pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4
Today I downloaded the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5, unpacked copied the PG88IMG.zip to my sdcard and begun update. The update was unsuccessful. Now my device says this:
*** LOCKED ***
*** Security warning ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO_3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
The phone is stuck is FASTBOOT, and selecting BOOTLOADER only loads again PG88IMG.zip, and of course after "Checking PG88IMG.zip" it errors with Main version is older! <Power> to REBOOT.
IS there anything that can be done? PLS HELP!

If you remove or rename the PG*.... file from the root of your SD card this should stop happening..
Then you should be able to enter recovery, where I'm hoping that you'll have an available Nandroid backup that you could restore to.
Problem is that choosing recovery from bootloader does nothing, just brings me back into fastboot. I think that recovery was wiped during the failed update process.
Also my device is S-on now so i cannot flash a new recovery in fastboot.
Now I'm afraid that I'm a little out of my depth here so won't offer any more advice.......but, you should be able to flash the recovery partition from fastboot...So hopefully all is not lost yet...
EDIT: Apology, only just read that you're S-ON and am not sure what to recommend.
You should look at my guides below. Both will tell and show you how to flash recoveries via fastboot.
Check my sig below.

Thanks, but before i wrote this question i did read all guides possible, including yours . Problem is I am stuck in fastboot, i cannot boot the phone, use adb or flash anything via fastboot as my device now is LOCKED and S-ON. Also i have no recovery not even stock one...
Smells more and more like a bricked Desire. Damn.

If you have read the guide, you should have known that before you can flash ANYTHING on fastboot, you have to be UNLOCKED first..
You should have tried to unlock it BEFORE flashing anything..
If these doesn't work, then you may be right on your last sentence..
Goodluck!
Before attempting the RUU update with pg88img.zip i had ENG HBOOT with S-OFF, but during that update something went wrong. It managed to update to the official HBOOT 2.00.2002 S-ON, but then i got the "Main Version is older - Update Fail! error and i think I need to send it to HTC as I see no way out of this. What i do not understand is this "Main Version is older - Update Fail!" error! why did this happen in the first place as i was updating from pre-rooted deodexed stock 2.10.401.4 to 2.10.401.5.
Simmilar problem, still wifi not working
I have got simmilar problem on desire s, got revolutionary S-OFF with 0.98 then tryied RUU with sense, something went wrong.. now i have hboot 2.00.0002 radio 3822.10.08.04_M i opened the hboot via HTC development page, then i flashed the newest ROM by Adidas108: RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183684)
now the system is booting properly and i can use the phone again, but the wifi is not working, which sucks because there is newest radio and according adidas108 newest ROM. I havent found solution for this as my hboot is in S-ON now and i cant flash different version of radio. I think first i need to find how to make hboot 2.00.0002 into S-OFF. Anyone any idea?
UPDATE 1: now i managed to install the ROM build 1.28.401 prerooted by Adidas108, everything seems to be working again, even wifi is ok. It is strange that the old ROM is working with newest RADIO and the newest ROM not, does anyone has any reasonable explanation to this issue?
Can you please be more specific on how you dealt with your HBOOT. Did you somehow managed to get it S-OFF. I sure need to flash a new recovery and from there i am good, i can resurrect my phone.
No my hboot 2.00.... Is s-on, i just unlock the recovery it means i can flash roms, but i cant overvrite radio or hboot on its own. I also need a solution how to make my phone s-off, and as revolutionary is only supporting hboot .98 it will not be easy. For now ill better stáy on my old ROM with sense 2.1

I unlocked my bootloader on htcdev. After that my old rom booted up normaly and everythig was back to normal. I then flashed in recovery RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_signed_prerooted SENSE 3.0 by Adidas108 and it all works perfectly now since my radio was updated before the error with "Main version is older" in the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. thanks guys for the help.. i read Skanob guides again and found out about htcdev.

BTW, from my experience it seems that you could update your radio to latest version if you try with the official RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5. It will probably error "Main version is older" and lock your bootloader, but you could unlock it on htcdev, and enter custom recovery after that and flash Adidas108's RUU. My wifi works perfectly with 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 radio.
Solution
So finnally my cell is working with sense 3.0. I downgraded hboot to 0.98.0000 thanx to Skanob(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919), then S-Off with revolutionary, flashed actual clockwork mod recovery, after the newest saga radio and as the last the newest ROM by Adidas108. Everything works fine, even with hboot 98.0002. End of Story
I have a Sensation S-OFF via revolutionary plus supercid and since some time i used with stock rom, the last one used was Pyramid_htc_europe_1.50 "http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a7842/n/RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed.exe". Bored with this rom tried to install an LE version the last Pyramid_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.25 from "http://www.filefactory.com/file/c21da0d/n/RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.25.401.101_Radio_11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2_test_237696.exe". Via normal RUU the installatin wasn't possible (error 155), so extracted rom.zip renamed to PG58IMG.zip and installed succesfully.

I downloaded from market SUPERUSER aplication, installed. so i have superuser v3.0.7 (41) and su binary vnull. checked for updates and the result was, checking installed version = legacy??? i pushed the update button and su binary 3.0.3.2 was installed sucesfully???
What I'm Missing? Is this methode possible?
Tried to install some aplications who require root in order to function properly as Titanium back up, all OK, i sucessfully restored some previously backed-up data. Installed 4ext recovery from market and changed to the lat touch 4ext recovery, all ok, restarted and nothing changed.
i have root, i have a cusom recovery and all applications are functioning ok.
So, What I'm Missing??? Is this methode possible?
Don't worry, your still s off so you are good. May I ask why you are flashing official RUU from different regions? Why not just flash some custom ROMS they have more mods and they are easier to switch back and forth. Be careful now that 1.27 h boot cannot run GB ROM, you will bootloop if you try, you'll have to downgrade to the 1.23 h boot as it can run both GB and ICS. Also, I don't understand what it is you are asking.
In order to flash GB Roms like Rhiannon224 said you'll have to downgrade H-Boot 1.23.
For a lot of Information i would suggest you This Thread
And Touchcovery (4ext recovery Touch) try 4Ext Updater

Use taccoroot.bin to get temp root access and then run revolutionary, u will be able to get S-off
Also dont flash the European version as it is the most buggy ICS update, my friend Krazy_abt_technology who is a recognized developer has also recommended to stay away from European update.
Just getting S-off with everything stock is fine at this time, wait for Indian ICS
....A friendly suggestion
So with the htcdev unlock i still cant flash anything since im still s on?
Any easy instructions out there to use tacoroot pls?

is it because i have clockworkmod instead of stock recovery?
Hey guys, so I bought a HTC Sensation XE yesterday (2nd hand), and it's my very first time owning this phone so I'm completely new here on this forum section.
Anyway, I want to get it to S-OFF and I tried following many different guides. In the end, I got really confused, and since I don't wanna risk bricking my phone, I thought I'd ask for some help. But first, here's some basic information about my phone:
1. Stock ICS v4.0.3
2. Software number - 3.33.709.152
3. Baseband version - 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
4. HBoot - v1.29.0000
5. HTCdev Unlocked
6. CWM recovery installed and Rooted with SuperSu
Ok, so here's what I did. I followed this guide here, since the topic title says it's for any 1.2x HBoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
But since I'm already HTCdev Unlocked, then I have to go to this guide instead (as stated in the instructions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
BUT, the topic clearly says it's for "HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware".
So am I suppose to downgrade my HBoot and firmware then? But then, why would the guide (the first link) say it works for any 1.2x HBoot?
Well, I decided to attempt S-OFF anyway by skipping steps #1, #2 and #3 and jumping straight to step #4. I ran ControlBear, and I get the following error:
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I searched on the net and apparently the "Secondary Backup" shows up if you're using a custom rom (which I'm not). Other than that, I can't find any other info on this.
What should I do here?
anyone?
OK nvm I got it working. Apparently, I flashed the Superuser v3.07.zip file after getting my HTCdev unlock (because I needed to root it in order to attempt S-OFF), and somehow forgot I did that and then rooted it again by flashing SuperSu.
Somehow, having 2 superuser installed will cause Juopunutbear S-OFF to fail.
Anyway, I achieved S-OFF now, and at the end of the process it asked me if I want to install a modified (custom) HBoot, so I chose yes.
It said installed successfully, but it still shows I'm using HBoot v1.29.0000 in the boot menu (power off + volume down).
Is this suppose to be correct? I dunno what advantages there are for installing a custom HBoot, and apparently it's suppose to be v1.27, so I dunno if I did it correctly or not. It does say I have S-OFF in the menu so that went successfully, but not sure about my HBoot.......
get the hboot flashed. it gives you added benefit when you face any issues.
the best was to get a patched hboot flashed is by flashing revolutionary hboot (patch from hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100 i think -at the end of first post) ..from kohr-ah's firmware thread in sensation development section...flash that like a firmware (instructions in the same thread )
To delete one of the su apps go into system apps folder and delete the one you want.
