[Q] S-On? - HTC Sensation

I'm wondering why setting security flag to 3 can brick the phone?
What should be done to avoid bricking it?

It shouldn't brick it, didn't when I did it to get used to the steps

Then, why people brick their phone even though they follow the steps?
Just curious xD

[Q] Bricked? QHsUSB_DLOAD

I have a HTC__E11
Had a superCID on it and S-OFF
Followed thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
in order to upgrade my phone to ICS with Rom:
DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 4.1.0
On step 8 it powered down and never came back...
Waited more then long enough for it...
Battery was 100% before i started the whole thing, so it couldn't be empty...
HBoot won't start anymore and...
When i now connect the phone to my USB port on Windows 7 Pro, it states QHSUSB_DLOAD but doesn't know the driver for it...
Anyone knows how to revive my phone or do i need to send it towards HTC?
Fact is that if there would be a driver and a program to get it downloaded to the phone... It might come back, but i can't find any info on how what were...
Anyone know how to use the search feature?

I can walk you through the un-bricking process if you're up for it?

A jtag is hardware that is manually soldered onto the motherboard in order to be able to write to the whole emmc without it needing to work. Is used for recovering devices from full hardware bricking. Ie deleted bootloaders ect.

It's still relevant and could work. An old post doesn't mean it's unusable.
May be worth trying if it does revive the phone.

Hi,
If you are s-on, you need to follow THIS THREAD
It basically requires you to install 4 EXT recovery,and use the "Smartflash" option to flash your custom ROMS

how many use super CID

I'm not familiar with super CID coming from the Mytouch4G, how many of you did it when you rooted? I'm rooting my Sensation 4G as I type this.
i did and you should do the same cause in the future will be very useful

I don't have to do it at this time right? I could always choose to do it later correct? The reason I ask is because I read that you would not be able to receive any OTA updates HTC pushes out.

well if you don't want to install ics custom rom you don't have to but if you want you have anyway there are ics fw that can be installed without supercid but imo it is better to supercid
edit: and if you supercid you can revert it back....however if you have rooted the phone you can't receive OTA, or better you can but it will brick your phone

yes man before getting the ota you MUST flash the stock htc RUU which you can find in the development forum
Almost everyone does SuperCID after rooting.
After Rooting, I didn't though. I just S-Offed. A week later, I realized I had to SuperCID to get some ROMs to work. So I did it and never regretted.
Go for it.

Always sper cid for safe side. If you change to supre cid will be very useful no need to worry.

I also did not super CID right away, but for a lot of ROM it is necessary so eventually I had to do it and never regreted it so far...
yup really helpful I did

I have done the supercid
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
what exactly did I miss?
I have not needed supercid, I simply s-off'd and not needed any such thing.
I have updated the fw and I'm running Virtuous Inquisition ICS rom, no problems?
I really don't understand why you'd want to change the CID or how it affects ROMS
You don't have to supercid, but it might be handy at some point. It will allow you to flash any ruu shall you ever need it.
Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
There are no downsides. I did it as soon as I got my Sensation.
I bought my sensation pre rooted, I have latest firmware and am runnin a 4.0.3. Rom, so does this mean the guy used superCID or whatever
sent from my insertcoined T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G with Beats audio
Well I must say Im glad I went supercid
I think I saved me a super headache when I got stuck in a bootloop from flasing a ICS the wrong way whatever I did wrong I was able to find a stock RUU in no time thanks y'all.

if your not branded,
you will almost never have to supercid for a custom rom to install.
but for example if a firmware update is mandatory, you might depending on your cid/mid.
i own a xe device and never supercid it, can install anything without problems. (dont always) believe what people say, but always check the description on the base of your own cid/mid yourself.
that said,it cant hurt to supercid, but if its not mandatory why?
+1 Me too
+1 I've supercid as well, changed a few times back to orginal CID because of warranty without problem.

Well, that's partially true.
As I remember the T&C, it does not void warranty automatically.
The warranty is not valid however if the root of the issue is related to flashing.
Anyway I'm also confused on HTC's regulation regarding this question.
As far as I know there is no alternative for bootloader 1.27...Or is there?

There was a modified Hboot a while back by revolutionary for 1.27 (or was it 1.23, can't remember right now) that required s-off already.
But as for new s-off, there isn't one that doesn't involve the HTC unlocking first.

Well, their disclaimer is written so that if they will want, they can tell you that your issue is not covered due to htc dev unlock... Im sure it depends onwho will pick up your phone in service centre.
I dont want to use it because my sensation started shutting down every then and now and Im concerned that it can come back again. So, at least for now, Im stuck on stock rom :-(

Flashing custom rom without s-off

Hi, I want to ask if any of you guys flashing custom rom into device that still s-on but rooted. I'm doing this to my device cause its very hard to me to get the s-off. We need to do short circuit thingy I guess (HTC Sensation XE). My concern here that I'm afraid flashing custom rom to s-on device can harm or brick my device as the developer said to do so. Pls give your opinion. Thx.

What do you mean by doing extra step 1#? Unlocking using HTCDev? Ive done before. But if you say to unlocking HTCDev every time I flashed new rom. Is such a pain. OR, Is that anyway it can be lock again? Coz before this wifi thingy happen ive flash many rom & kernel. I think this cause my wifi not functioning. Sorry Im totaly lost now. Sorry also coz being noob here. My bad.
Thanks in advance. Really need a guide for solving this. FYI I got 2 Sensation XE. The other is just fine with the custom rom. But this one is gave me so much trouble.

escpecially in S-ON devices after flashing a custom rom if the smartflash feature(4ext recovery) fails(you notice that when the device is trying to boot the rom and it is bootlooping)then the only option is to flash the boot.img of the rom manually
Not true!!!

I am still S-ON and I flash whatever roms I like. It is very difficult to hard brick your phone if you're S-ON. If however you're S-OFF, you can potentially screw up your phone. So no worries about bricking if you're S-ON (unless you do something really really naughty!!!).
