Unable to achieve S-Off - HTC Sensation

Hi all,
Cmd hanged at "method 3"
Hboot version 1.17.0011
Asia WWE - Singapore
Windows 7
Any others out there having the same experience as me?
P.S: uninstalled hTC sync, activated htc sync on device, installed latest htc drivers/naked drivers..

I was having a similar problem. Do you perhaps have Droid Explorer installed on your pc, or some similar app that auto connects via usb to your device. If so, uninstall. I was able to run the tool after uninstalling - just used the Charge usb connection (not HTC Sync) and ran the tool as Administrator. All worked fine for me.

Well, I had this issue as well.
So I uninstalled all HTC Sync, HTC Drivers and HTC bmp Drivers, and reinstalled the driver provided by Revolutionnary. Then I plugged it my phone with USB debugging on, set it to charge, and launched revolutionnary again as an admin. That's when it worked !

Help achieving S Lock off

I have adb installed. HTC sync nor Droid explorer are running. I verify adb works because I can see my device. My problem is that the revolutionary.exe is not detecting my phone. Says waiting for device. Usb debugging turned off. I've been trying for the past 6 hours and no go. I'm coming from a Vibrant where we don't have locked boot loaders n such. Is there another method to achieve s off? The noob guide didn't help me. Hope someone can.

Usb debugging should be on. There's your problem.

Meant to say on.
Meant to say on
Both HTC Sync and Droid Explorer have to be completely uninstalled from your computer to make it work. Also, download and unzip the HTC Naked USB Driver to a folder somewhere on your computer. While the Revolutionary tool runs and says "waiting for device" open device manager. You may see a yellow exclamation point icon with something like "Android Phone" or "Android Composite Device." The actual title escapes my memory, but you get the idea. Update the driver and point it to where you unzipped the USB driver. Restart the computer after you uninstall the HTC Sync, Droid Explorer, and install the USB driver and try the Revolutionary tool again. Let us know what happens.
this is what im seeing... gosh i feel noobish
Try to update the driver and point it to where you unzipped the new driver. Did you completely uninstall the other software? and you have it in "Charge Only" mode with USB debugging on right?
When I tried to update the driver it says Windows found the most current driver or something like that. Also phone is in charge only mode and usb debugging on. :-/Any remedies or such I'm open to hear them. I'm goin to sleep or try. I know its me just don't knw what it is.

HTC Sync does not have to be un-installed. It just can't be running at the time. Install HTC Sync & the drivers, make sure its working...say try to sync your phone to your pc. If its works then exit it off & unplug your phone from pc. Now exit HTC Sync from the taskbar on your pc...little phone with an x on it.
Turn on USB debug, plug your phone into your pc & select HTC Sync & ignore the error that it cant find it..then go from there..
Adb didnt have the correct path. Rolling eyes. Lol. Going to give it another try

Have you dowloaded and installed the correct drivers, usb debugging checked, fastboot checked, phone connected to pc using HTC sync mode?

Errrrr, have you unpacked the archive? Not trying to say that you are stupid, just a good old "check simple things first" thing. Also, did you follow revolutionary how to?

Also, make sure your virus scanner isn't running.
I have the same problem. I tried on a different computer and at first revolutionary would go on but as soon as I installed HTC drivers it would immediately close. I tried uninstalling HTC sync but it still does it. Idk how to fastboot check I understan alot of android stuff but then my last 2 devices where a captivate and then an infuse so those were simple for root. lol I am a noob though when it comes to getting this much in depth. Any suggestions? I feel stupid asking this cause I have flashed a ton of roms in the past.
Figured it out I used the drivers that came with sync when you need to use th ones from revolutionary
any help on how to use the drivers that came with revolutionary not sync please
Just make sure you can connect via HTC sync then exit htc sync and make sure it is closed completley. give it a second and run revolutionary again
Revolution Doesnt work for me!
Hey guys i cant get Revolution to work. I'm having the same problem. Flashes and then goes off without running.
I have installed the htc drivers(from revolution site), enabled debugging, connected via htc sync(then closed it), extracted the .zip file and run the .exe.
I cant find an option to disable fastboot. I dont have a power in settings and in applications there is no option for fastboot. I'm running a t-mobile 2.2.1 android.
HELP!

Driver issues

Okay. I need help. After searching around for hours, I cannot get adb to work on my att one x. Just for background, I'm running windows 8 and I had no problem with adb on my old galaxy s. I installed HTC sync. Without adb, I'm not able to unlock my boot loader and install cwm. Which is obviously very frustrating
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
stating the obvious here, but did you enable USB Debugging on your One X? also, can you connect your galaxy s to your machine and use the adb commands (e.g., adb devices)? try disabling (e.g., exiting) HTC Sync as well..
Yes USB debugging is enabled. Yes I could use commands before. Yes I exited sync too

[Q] my laptop can't detect my Sensation

Dear xda devs,
I used to be able to connect my phone normally to my PC (adb, storage mount, etc). But now suddenly when I connect my Sensation to my laptop, it doesn't detect it as a device. It only charges the phone but gives no option of storage mount or debugging.
Any idea which driver might go wrong and where can I obtain the correct one?
check htc drivers or install htcsync.it might help

ADB Can't find Device

I have tried everything and I can not get my device to show up in ADB for the life of me. I have verified my supercid thru adb, but can't get my device to show up. I've installed htc sync, updated drivers, even downloaded the tool multiple times. I thought I read back when I rooted that i needed to uninstall htc sync, is this correct?
Nobody? Come on guys help a brother out.

TRy ending task on htc sync, a different usb port, and different usb cable, and make sure its not usb3.0.
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out over this, too. I've tried uninstalling all drivers and HTC software, and not letting Windows install the default drivers. I've changed USB ports. I've tried reinstall HTC sync only, but the phone still doesn't show up in adb. Device is recognized both booted into the ROM and in recovery/bootloader, just not by adb.
Grr
Running cleanrom 6
Windows 7 64bit
USB debugging is on.

How did you ever root your phone if adb doesn't recognize it?
Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita
That's the weird part. I have root, recovery, but for whatever reason I can't get adb and my phone to talk.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Its funny you having these problems... I usually have no trouble with adb, however last night I tried to s-off my cousins hox... Fastboot works fine, when I get to the adb push it won't recognize in adb. So I tried mine, won't recognize... Rebooted both phones and my computer. No go..
So I tried my wife's computer... No go...
I don't understand either
Edit: while I was at it I tried cleanrom, dirty ROM, and cm10.1

I have this problem too when I am trying to get adb devices with windows 8 64bit. My devices always appears offline. But when I trying with windows 7 32bit, viola.. its work! Maybe there is something wrong with 64bit platform (or just mine?)
Sent from my HTC One X
Are you guys trying adb commands? Or just stopping when "adb devices" returns nothing? Because I noticed this when I upgraded everything on my phone this past weekend.
I was able to ruu, push files, etc., but "adb devices" returned nothing. I was on 64-bit Win7 with USB 3.0.
I've tried windows XP and windows 7... Tried shooting a bunch of adb commands with no success... "Device not found"
I've always had success with adb, as I use it quite often for the custom sense lockscreens

I had this problem a little while ago. Only a reinstall of windows helped:banghead:. During the meantime though I booted up a virtual machine and ran the commands through it.
Sent from Xparent Red using my Venomized Evita
That's an idea, a virtual machine.
I pulled an antique desktop out of the closet that ran on some ancient version of xp and solved that problem. I never got over "devices not found" on any other new computer with my hoxl or wifeys x+. I tried everything everyone will ever tell you.. Random assortment of usb cables, ports, installed HTC sync and HTC sync manager a trillion times, tried creating a file with my hexadecimal I'd number in them.. Even tried running the cmd or Adb as administrator.
In the words of jcase: windows sucks. Fix your environment.

Did you check Task Manager and kill all HTC and adb functions? HTC sync keeping stuff running even when you close it. That worked for me.
My phone wasn't coming up as "Android Phone" or "HTC" in the "Device Manager" on Windows 7. Would only show it as "G:/" under "Portable Devices" thus disabling me from installing the proper drivers.
[SOLVED]
I plugged my phone in, and uninstalled G:/ in device manager (Your letter may be different).
Then I went into "Disk Management" and found the removable drive G:/. Right click and go into which ever option was to change the letter. Go ahead and pick another letter (make sure it's different from any other drives you may have, I went with Z).
Unplugged my device, made sure debugging was on, and plugged it back in. Device Manager now shows my phone as "Android Phone" Success!

I got mine working last night, but I have to be honest that I have no idea exactly what it is that worked. Here's what I did:
Uninstall HTC Sync and ALL HTC stuff.
Toggle developer modes on and off a few times
Reinstall HTC Sync
Windows tries to install drivers, but I forced it to uninstall them.
Manually install the drivers included with HTC Sync
And... it works now. I'm not sure what was different this time around, but I won't complain.

I also noticed this when I tried to flash CleanROM 6 from Newt's JB. Neither Newt's nor CR6 (installed successfully without adb) were recognized on PCs and ports I had used to root my Evita. I think this has something to do with JB or the "debloated" versions.
When I connect my Evita, I no longer receive the charge/drive/tether toast notification. USB debugging is set in settings. Had to install "adbWireless" app to get adb to work properly, and of course that means that I have two devices connected via adb/fastboot if I reboot to recovery or bootloader. What a PITA, I will try on a USB 2.0 port to see if that has any more success.
****EDIT-RESOLVED****Like belyle, I had to force USB debugging off, and this took several attempts. Even with Developer Options turned off, USB debugging would turn itself on when the phone was plugged in to the computer via USB. Somehow this locked the phone from being recognized. Finally got USB debugging shut off, and manually turned it on again and adb/fastboot worked normally. I did not have to uninstall or reinstall anything. I am currently running CR6.
As I mentioned before, this is something that was set by default on a cooked ROM and think that is what is causing this issue.
I'm sorry for activating an old thread, but I've had the same issues and the fix for me was to use my USB 2.0 port instead of the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop. As soon as I plugged it into a USB 2.0 slot the phone booted right up without issue and could be seen through ADB, plugged it back into the USB 3.0 and "error: device not found" kept coming back. Moved back to the USB 2.0 slot and no issues whatsoever. Funny how USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible, but yet my phone doesn't work on it.

Its something to do with JB. I tried to uninstall, reinstall drivers/HTC Sync, different USB port (all 2.0 on my PC), all the usual stuff. None of that worked. The only thing that got it to work was reverting to an ICS nandroid. After that, adb recognized immediately. Did the s-off and went back to the JB nandroid. Again, adb doesn't work (although fastboot does).
