[Q] need help with s on?

i rooted using bubba 's gui got root and s off. I need to take phone back too att.
i tried using ace kit and the s on tool neither will turn s on . when using s on tool everything seems to work find except the power cycle emmc line says failed to load module no such directory. any thoughts about whats going on?

Check out the ace kit forum. I think I read something about that in there. That or soak the phone in water till you can no longer turn it on lol.

Go into the bootloader and see if it still says s-off I had issues and thought it want working once then when I looked it said s-on
Sent through the power of Cthulhu!

What I did to turn the s-on back on was use bubbys one click to push the downgraded Rom to the phone again just like rooting but then run the s-on tool.

There ya go. A water-damaged phone is just as returnable as a non-water-damaged phone. Or not.
And I saw your lol next to it, but still, at least make it a workable alternative.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I was going to return it to get an atrix, but I tried the the phone at the att store. I really didn't like it. I felt like I had to because the specs. But I'm more content with the inspire.

Good choice. Many people returned the atrix for the inspire.

I still can't get the -s on flag set on my Inspire 4g. I've tried it with the android terminal, adb shell, and bubby's S-ON tool. All of them appear to complete successfully, but I'm still seeing S-OFF in hboot.

I couldn't get anything to work either. I had to run bubbys one click to the point that it boots in the downgraded ROM. Once it booted into the downgraded ROM, I ran the s on tool. Worked perfectly once I did that.

Temp root for latest OTA 2.3.4.?

As the title implies, wondering if any of the temp root methods work with the latest OTA update? I know I could go permanent, but I usually only reboot 1 time a week and I don't mind stock right now. I really just want to use Titanium and freeze some apps.
Thanks

You would have to start by using the HTC Unlock Bootloader process at http://htcdev.com.
Once you have HTC unlocked, then you can install ClockworkMod recovery and then flash and install the su_2.3.63.zip to root your ROM.

Just use Revolutionary as everyone else does, works fine

Yeah, and I was mostly wondering about temp rooting first. I am trying to steer clear from CWM for a bit as it seems there are issues with phone charging. Temp root would be great as I really only reboot 1 or 2 times a week.

Sensation w/2.3.4 and unlocked bootloader not route to rooting

It works with 2.3.4.
BUT not my Sensation w OTA 2.3.4
I am somewhere around a noob or a noob=, but I have tried so many times to root my Sensation and no joy. I have downloaded the Revolutionary "ui" and I only get a brief flash on the cmd window.
I have read that I need to do this 2 or 3 times to get it to work, is this true? Do I need instead to place the revolutionary code at top of the SD mem card? I also previously ran the SDK and got all the way to the congratulations step but nothing else was said to perform, am I lost or did I move to noob- from noob+?
I have a TMO USA Sensation with OTA 2.3.4 and HTC unlock code installed, HELP!

@Chh, use HTC sync on your phone when you plug the usb cable to pc, run Revelutiinary.exe as administrator, it should work. If you're on Windows 7 you may need to reinstall the drivers and run in compatibility mode XP with service pack 2. I had a few hiccups while rooting two different Sensations and this method worked for me. Hope this helps.

The latest OTA update for 2.3.4 has a new hboot version and Revolutionary does not work with this version because HTC has closed the previous root exploit. That is what the OP has been asking about all along.

Yes x2
The tool works with the latest hboot 1.18.0000, but as per my post above you may need to run the tool 2 or 3 times before it works. You will get an error about a comms error and to go get some lemonade. Just reboot phone and rerun the tool.

Rhiannon, wow you are right about the Windows 7 shoulld be run in XP comp mode. I made all the progress in the world even being asked to enter my beta key, however it was rejected (several times). So I will do a fresh download of "revolutionary.io" and unzip it do the XP comp & admin properties hopefully they (the people who make revolutionary.io) are doing some kind of timestamp checking because I entered without any errors the key. If that doesn't work don't know where to turn. Oh by the way I am using a TMO USA OTA 2.3.4 update and the phone has the TMO unlocked bootloader. Yes I installed the new HTCdriver files 3.x x x something, too and removed the HTC Sync.
Now what?

Permanent root does work with revolutionary with an OTA 2.3.4 updated phone. I did it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I'm a noob. I followed the guide and rooted a 2.3.4 phone with Revolutionary just like everyone else. No issues. Phone is running great.
One thing that wasn't clear to me however, was that you need to put the files on the SD card as a zip file. I was being a bit over helpful and extracting them first. Didn't work until I figured that out.

@cch copy and paste the beta key, it's case sensitive, do this by copying the beta key then in the Revelutionary command window, at the top left hand corner right click and choose paste, the other steps I gave you were working so your entering the key wrong. That's the only thing it could be, it took me a Fe times to enter it correctly. Also, Revelutionary will boot into fastboot and it will loose communication, you will have to do it 3 times and then banjo, s off. I hope it works for you. These are they exact steps, it worked for me on two different phones, also the Revolutionary site confirms it is working on the t mouse 2.3.4 update, I had the same ROM as you.
Glad if i helped. Hit my thanks button. Thanks.

Adb and SDK needed?

Do I absolutely have to have the SDK and adb to s-off my phone? I know it sounds dumb, but the only reason I ask is cause I came from the Samsung vibrant forums and I rooted and flashed my vibrant without the need of ANY computer software. All from my phone. I really want to s off my phone,but the instructions are kinda flaky. Good, but flaky. Thank you.

Hi,
The instructions in the s-off guide in my signature are easy to follow.
Using ADB and SDK are really not difficult.
And installing them will help later on when you want to change your radio.

Yes they are needed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

No, you don't need them.
You can S-OFF your phone using the revolutionary hack. You'll still need a PC with the HTC Sync software installed (ie, the drivers for the phone).
Have a look on http://revolutionary.io/ for tools and instructions.
That said, you might want to look into getting the SDK and ADB later on, if you plan to continue learning about what you can do with this device.

[Q] ICS Wireless stuff issue !

It seems like all my phones are having problems this month.
Anyways, Sensation XE got updated to ICS in India a few days ago and i downloaded the update after which this WiFi and other wireless issues started.
My phones WiFi shows disconnected when i turn it on and when i turn it ON it says connecting and then gets OFF on its own. I tried forget network and the connected again but still the issue. Also my WiFi-Hotspot doesn't work....it reads 'turning on'...stays for a long time and then 'off'. Same thing is there with the Bluetooth. I re-booted, still nothing.
My phone is not rooted, S-ON and stock ROM....so i have pretty much no idea what to do. Tried reaching HTC via e-mail but no reply. So i turned to the best people in the job :highfive:
P.S. I dint have any problem with the phone when i was using Gingerbread.

why is this happening ?! the phone was perfectly fine before the update...not most wireless things dont work.
Im sure it isnt hardware related because i havnt dropped or even bumped the phone in 6 months since buying !

Well the phone first came with gb and was never rooted and then received the ota update which is when problems started happening as I know so did many other people.
So that's when I decided to root it
The only other option I think of at this point is if it keeps happening to just go back to gb.
Does anyone know if there will be a jb update for this phone?
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4g using xda app-developers app

I'm not aware of an official JB update from HTC but I'm using an AOSP JB ROM currently and there are some problems.you have to follow the proper process for your phone.
Flash an RUU
S-OFF the phone
Install custom recovery
Root the phone
Install ROM of your choice
In the process, please don't forget to follow documented processes for each step to the letter or you'll definitely run into problems. Post back here if you get stuck and we'll definitely help you.

Its a problem with the phones motherboard. I called HTC and told them what was happening and the tech on the phone told me to send it in and they would replace my mother board under warranty. He confirmed that they have been receiving many calls with the same problem and there was a defect with the mother board.
So either send it in for warranty or try pulling the contact pins out a little bit and jamming some paper by the battery to give it better contact. That seems to work for me.

I appreciate the feedback but so far for some reason after reflashing the 3.33 firmware package the phone has not acted up since hopefully it doesn't happen again

As you're device is S-OFF, you can use the appropriate RUU for your device that will flash Android 2.3 on your phone. You can download the appropriate RUU from HERE. (If you could tell us more about your device, like run the command: "fastboot getvar all" from the command prompt on your PC and post the outcome here, we could help you finding the proper RUU for your phone.) If you want to try custom roms like cm10-11 or the latest Viper rom, you must update your firmware and hboot. The latest firmware for the Sensation is v3.33 and the latest hboot is v1.27. If I remember well.
