Hey everyone, I'm a bit of a noob, so please bear with me. I'm trying to install the HTC USB drivers, so that I could root my device. Problem is, when I download them and follow the instructions to install them, windows comes up with an error that says they could not be installed. Anyone have a work around? Thanks!

I have an HTC Sensation and I tried to root it but unfortunalely because I am using a 64bit computer it does not work is anyone on here in Calgary that can help me root this baby and get S-off.
Thanks in advance
By trying to root it, do you mean trying to unlock it/get S-OFF? I just tried using revolutionary.io and it worked perfectly; I'm on Windows Ultimate 64bit.

Yes trying to get S-off, when ever I click on the revolutionary exe the window shows up and disappears right away
Unistall HTC sync or any other app that syncs your phone with your computer, connect your phone in sync mode, a message will POP up saying no.sync application but just ignore it. And that should fix your problem

There are plenty of threads in the development section to help you with this.
When I rooted my phone i was also confused because my phone restarts like 10 times and i was so confused what to do so the only thing you can do is wait and if it doesn't solve your problem then try another usb port and if it doesn't work then you might have to try in another system or laptop
Hey guys , sold my iPhone 4 and picked up an htc sensation 4g with tmobile . I have a MacBook so jailbreak was nice and easy ...... Now I'm trying to s-off and get this rooted and having a hard time figuring it out ! I tried using my little brothers win7 laptop and managed to get a beta key ...... My problem is when I use my brothers win7 laptop and try to open the revolutionary.io software it just opens and instantly closes the app ? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and is trying to unlock and root with my Mac is useless ? Thanks in advance for any input or help ! P.s I'm not super tech savvy

When I got this phone earlier I tried to do the s-off things with revolutionary software (this was new to me cause I am coming from a lg all we had to do to root was install gingerbreak), anyway I followed all the steps but when I tried to connect the software would just always say waiting for device???. Anyone have any ideas
