Ive rooted it twice and used the file to make it permanent, also flashed revolution rom, but when i use terminal or adb on pc i get "SU not found", Really need this sorting as i dont have a phone atm
If i can buy an unlock code which sites do you guys recommend?
Thanks
You should've tried rooting it the 3rd time as well
Have you tried the troubleshooting thread about rooting/cwm/s-off? I've had the same problem, lost root confused after flashing CM7 alpha, but flashing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip three times solved it.
forget the unlock codes btw

Lol...guess you didn't see the FREE do it yourself unlock in the development section
true but ive re-flashed it like 5 times now trying to unlock the damm thing, then losing root, cvm or clockwork mod
Perform S-Off, install Clockwork, throw the PG58DIAG.nbh file into the SD card, boot into the fastboot/recovery, it should open the application. Follow menus to get to clear data, phone will be restored to "stock" and you should be SIM unlocked.
Also, 20 pounds seems a bit high, I paid 10 dollars for mine (Before we had S-Off, don't flame)
I'm flashing ROMs for a retard and this happen but I left this su zip in the root of the sd and it kept saying that it wasn't rooted but I flashed the zip in recovery and Viola he's rooted hope it helps
Ok went to get phone and he cant unlock it, he was like the battery went flat,
i went outside and turned it on to find 70% battery remaining,
so im going to try it myself again .
It is really easy follow this guide step by step nsjevsyre you remove htc sync from you pc first and droid explorer and adb ifvyiu have them

Method 1 was discovered by a noob - Dav22. Dazweeja came up with a simple ADB command. Skygear for working it in Terminal Emulator
Method 2 was discovered by sieempi (Links at the bottom), STRING: NOT FOUND workaround found by jackmonter5
Big thanks to xplod4202. Risked his Sensation to see if Methd 2 was safe for us all.
And The simple guide : xl Viper lx : I am simply doing what i do best. getting you a noobproof guide and also simplifying the adb/terminal code
All of us will take credit for the collaborating and making of this thread to help everyone unlock with no cost. What???.....Yes thats right......We broke the FTSE index by providing free unlocks! lol
Also 9 people who voted no in the poll, ad voted before we found method 2 which unlocks every sensation
METHOD 1 - USE THIS FIRST
The SIM-Unlock code location for some sensation's (NOT ALL) has been found and confirmed to work for the few users who tested it. Use method 1 below to find your unlock code
(Method 1 ADB guide in post 2 if you don't want to use Terminal Emulator or you just want to use ADB)
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation - Enable USB debugging in Settings > Application ->Development
-Terminal Emulator (Download free from the market) or click here to download and install into your phone
Your IMEI Number (Dial "*#06#" in phone keypad to get it)
GUIDE - Method 1
1. Download Terminal Emulator from the market if you havent already done so and Run it. This should bring you a blue screen. Full screen.
2. enter the command "SU".
3. Click allow when Super user pop up appears to give it root access. (If your keyboard disappears, keep hold of menu button to bring it back up)
4. enter the command "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6"
5. This should give Output a bunch of numbers like in the screenshot! IF IT SAYS STRING: NOT FOUND MOVE TO POST 2 AND USE ADB!
6. The 8 digit number above your IMEI number is your unlock code. See post 2 on how to enter it.

}
IF it only brings you a date above your IMEI. Then the unlock code is not present in your device. Move to Method 2
GUIDE - Method 2 - USE IF METHOD 1 FAILED!
Revolutionary achieved radio S-OFF for Sensation (among other devices) which means you can practically do whatever you want with your phone (like actually owning it). This means it makes it vulnerable to all sorts of schemes including sim-unlock. The following method is quite efficient and easy to do and can be done with the need for a computer!
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation!
-Clockwork Recovery or Revolutionary Recovery - NEEDED FOR NANDROID BACKUP
-Titanium Backup (Download from the market if you don't have it) - YOU ONLY NEED THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO OR CAN'T NANDROID BACKUP
WARNING!!!
Backup all your settings/apps/sms/network/APN/Data etc.
Using this method to unlock will wipe your data and apps too! (Factory Resets in other words)
But it's this method that actually resets some other things including your sim-lock status.
Guide - Method 2
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP USING RECOVERY - (Completely switch off your phone, Press Volume down + Power button to get into bootloader, Volume down to recovery then press power button to get into Recovery. Volume down to "Backup and Restore" in recovery. Press Power to backup and your done!
(Make a backup in Titanium backup if you don't want to or can't nandroid backup. Menu > BAtch >Backup systems data + Apps with data)
2. Download PG58DIAG for the Sensation HERE or FROM MULTIUPLOAD
3. Copy the PG58DIAG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
4. Turn off your phone Fully and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post 2 on how to get to bootloader screen)
5. Press Volume Down to Enter DIAG - Place the phone horizontally when it asks you too. (Flat)
6. Press power button to select "Clean S58 Data
7. Press power again to "clean S58 Data".
8. POW - your unlocked! Try a SIM card from a different provider!
9. Delete the file from your SD Card (Delete PG58DIAG) and REBOOT!!
Your phone Will set up for the first time, go through it all till you get to your home screen
10. Go back into recovery and restore nandroid backup. same method as step 1 above. but instead of backup, you use restore feature
(Use Titanium Backup to restore if you used it to backup instead of Nandroid backup)(Menu > Batch > Restore System Data + Apps with user data)
Now you’re free to go! Bear in mind, though, in certain circumstances you will lose your data connectivity or network signal. You’ll just need to check your APN, network type etc. and re-enter them; Just run the nandroid restore to get everything back
Thanks to Dav22. for discovery of method 1
Dazweeja for his simple Code to find the unlock
sieempi for Method 2.
Thanks to Team Revolutionary for PG58DIAG and S-off

he "unlocks" phones? and doesn't have a charger for it? are you serious LOL I would've yelled at this guy and called his BS scam. If he doesn't have a charger which is pretty much universal... why the heck is he unlocking phones?! Worse to worst, your phone actually had battery remaining in it! Unlock it yourself, I got my sensation>rooted>unlocked and I was good to go. Easy, saved myself $20 and you should too!

I'm glad you wrote this up. I performed root the exact same way. I still don't know anything about adb, sdk, shell, or whatever. But this way is truly rooting for dummies!, and totally without a PC. I also used rom manager to download my first rom that i flashed. But then downloaded a new one. I plan on using dcupdater for new updates.
This should be a sticky. Rooting for dummies! No PC required.
Sticky this for all of us root wanting fools that have no sense of adb.

Sure, here you go.
Woot, will be doing this soon.
I hope a 100% Senseless rom comes out.
Thanks for this method with all the images. But, I have been trying all night to gain root. First using Toast's version and adb, and now with your method on my sdcard. Using either method, I never get to a screen where I can choose to update, in step 2. I have the searching for PC36IMG.zip, with the blue progress bar, but it dumps me into this screen:
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
I've downloaded the file at least twice, but I get the same result. I also flashed the stock RUU between trying Toast's version with adb and yours from the sdcard.
Do you have any idea where I went wrong? Also, is your update.zip Clockwork? (Just curious.) I'm not a complete beginner at this, as I have a Hero and was able to flash custom ROMs to it...
Thanks for any help you can give.

This is happening to me too.. Though I think it's because I'm already rooted? I did go through Toast's method and looks like I'm rooted, wish there was a way to tell. Also If I load a ROM then check ROM manager to see which rom I'm currently running, nothing is there -just blank.
Settings, About phone, Software information will tell you if it is rooted. Look at build number, should be Fresh Evo 0.2 by flipz or whatever ROM you used.
Mine says Fresh Evo 0.2 but during the root process it skips [8] TP and bypasses [9] TP, wondering if something is wrong with the root process? Also my sd card seems to have lost all my backup data and when I connect to pc it says my card has issues. Do I have a problem?
Did it, worked 100% easy.
Thanks man.
Are you supposed to be able to open (explore) the PC36IMG.ZIP file through Windows? I have downloaded it 12 times from 4 different places and the message says the file is invalid. I haven't put it on my SD yet, this is just on my PC.
Edit: Well, I tried doing the update to root with the downloaded PC36IMG.ZIP file and all I get is a non-rooted wiped clean EVO after it does the update.
Can someone please download load PC36IMG file "now" (not try a previous version) and see if it corrupt and also see if you can open already downloaded one through windows as a zip file.
Thanks....

I think that's what I have too: "a non-rooted wiped clean Evo." I never had the prompt to say yes to update or yes to reboot. I'm not a total n00b at this. I was able to successfully root and put Fresh's ROM on my Hero. I thought maybe it was adb drivers, but I can use my Evo in disk mode, and run HTC Sync. (I have no use for HTC Sync.)
I'd love to try d/ling the file, but my dsl is down. I've spent the last 2 hours troubleshooting it and arguing with Qwest. They've finally agreed it might be their problem and are coming out to fix it. I NEED root so I can us WiFi tether!

After hours of trying to figure out a way to make Mast3rpyr0's batch files work correctly, I noticed it had problems sending certain commands. So I decided to use some of his batch file codes, and create a VB.NET application along with batch files. I have unrooted and rooted my personal phone multiple times trying to get this to work. I tested the app 3times!! Each time Unrooting my phone! All three times its has been successful!
What exactly does this do?
Exactly what it say, Root your EVO in 3 Steps.
How do you use it?
Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked ) Click the buttons starting from Step 1.
Why the large file size?
This includes all the .img and .zip files that are needed to root. (2 PC36IMG.zip @ ~ 170MB = 340mb) and a couple of other smaller files. I decided to add them to make things more simple and avoid having to explain where to get these files.

FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!! IF IT SAYS DONT MOVE YOUR MOUSE, DONT CLICK ANYTHING, DONT TOUCH YOUR KEYBOARD... THEN DONT!!!!
The reason for this is because for some reason a batch file cant send the command
Code:
adb shell cat sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
The only way I found to get around that was using Sendkeys. I know, send keys is lame, and poor programming, but its the only way that I could get this to work.
Basically, Sendkeys sends keystokes to a targeted window, as if you were typing. You might see your keyboard NumLock, Caps light blink while this is being used, which is perfectly normal. (Enjoy the light show)

That's because the windows shell interpreter parses the redirect as belonging to the Windows system, not the android system. So it's trying to redirect the output to c:/data/flash_image or some such nonsense. Since Windows doesn't do / for it's directory structure, but instead uses \ it gacks trying to find the directory to put it in (which would be wrong even if it worked, since it would be on your hard drive, not the phone). You can change the cat line to this:
Code:
adb shell cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/flash_image
and it should work just as well. Anytime you use a redirect in a batch script like that it's going to try and redirect to Windows. If it wasn't my day off and I wasn't so tired I might figure out a fix for that, but the code I posted above should do the trick well enough. I wasn't sure initially why people wanted to to read the file into another one in the first place, but I did it with cp when I rooted and it worked fine. I suggest testing it, and then possibly changing your program. That way you can get rid of sendkeys and people breaking root by clicking something when it's running
this is amazing. too bad noobs like myself could not wait to root and unlock nand. but the process was well worth it. great job, i hope this save someone a headache

Hi,
If I do this method will I be able to load custom Roms following these steps? I found these on another site and I am a noob so this one step thing would be great for me to get my feet wet...but the whole reason I would root is so that I could try another ROM...
Here are the steps I found...earlier it said I needed adb and sdk tools so I'm not sure if below will work if I don't have that installed on my computer.
Choose a ROM you want to try. Download it and save it to your computer (do NOT extract it, leave it as a .zip)
2. Plug the phone in via USB cable and mount the sd card so we can transfer files to it.
3. Copy the ROM .zip file and save it to the root of the sd card (NOT in any folders just on the sd card itself). Once it is done copying, unplug the phone from the usb cable.
4. Turn off the phone, then turn it back on by holding down Volume Down and Power until the white bootloader screen comes up (if it finds the PC36IMG.zip on your sd because you didn’t delete it, just say NO when it asks you if you want to update). Now using the volume buttons select Fastboot, then select Recovery and wait for the phone to boot into recovery mode.
5. Scroll to Wipe Data, select wipe data/factory reset and then select wipe dalvik cache.
6. Now scroll to Apply .zip from sd card and select the ROM .zip file we saved to the sdcard and wait for it to finish flashing. Once it is done, hit reboot and you are all set! Enjoy!
OP theres an updates restore image much better options from armon .02 works for people who have bad sectors ALLOT of us have
but 01 is for those who dont try that first

1. The program includes adb, just download, unzip and run Simple Root.exe
2.Yes you will be able to install custom roms after you have completed the all the steps.
3. Those are not complete steps, but its sorta on the right track... have you done the first part of root?
great job on making this easy guys.... To bad I couldnt wait longer than a week to root.

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I am a new EVO owner and this is my first android phone. I was an iPhone user but I have come over to the Android side. No regrets. I have basically a new EVO with the OTA update installed. So my goal would be to run your one click method and then learn how to load roms. I also read that people have some kind of rom loader on their phone that sounded pretty easy so I need to do more searching on the forums here so I can learn.
Ken
This would have saved me 3 hours....
Thanks dude though this seems awesome.
Videos are titled "Hero 4g" btw.
Part 1 worked for me but part 2 doesn't. When I click yes on part 2 I get a screen that says "Unhandled exceptin has occured" and it gives me a option to continue or quit and I click continue and it closes out.
Does this method work if I already have the .6 stock rom on my device?
Obsolete: Go HERE: Unrevoked's reflash Root/Recovery flash tool
attn1 said:
This will root the device and allow you to install things like wireless tether.
Edit: I can connect to wireless tether, but it's not routing to anything and takes forever to get an IP address. Once I get an ip address, I can't even ping the gateway. I suspect further AT&T foolery. I am working on it.
Custom recovery is a bear to get to. You can however, get to custom recovery, and we can flash custom roms.
For the most part, I used the root method and files from the MT3G root procedure. However, I could not get the adb to read my in recovery until I used my gold card. Many failed attempts before, and it pretty consistantly worked afterword. I suspect the difference was the SD card itself, and not that it was a gold card, because it makes no sense that a gold card should make a difference. Both cards were 2 gb Sandisk cards, but the one I used was from a Hero, which was what I used to make my goldcard to root that.
Folks, the MT3G method works. This isn't mine, I was just the first to make it go on the Aria.
Here's eugene's "How to Root the Slide thread"
Eugene, Koush, Modaco, ChiefzReloaded, brokensanity, the EVO Unrevoked team and many others, on behalf of an awful lof frustrated AT&T Android fans, thank you.
The Unrevoked team has more info here if you get stuck.
Update:
Instead of slideroot.zip and superuser.apk, you can just flash my rom. (See next post in this thread).
That includes root, busybox, superuser.apk and strips AT&T applications & brings the ROM much closer to a generic HTC sense ROM.
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6909467&postcount=1
Once you have root (either by pushing slideroot and installing superuser.apk or skipping those and installing my rooted ROM) do yourself a favor and check out this thread: Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!)
Once rooted, you don't have to do the adb chase anymore; you can now flash custom recovery with the tool in that thread. It works!

Installing a custom ROM and loading Clockwork Recovery on an unrooted HTC ARIA.
Installing a custom ROM on Aria/loading Clockwork Recovery on an UNROOTED HTC Aria.
(like mine, found here: ROM Liberated_Aria)
This method is borrowed heavily from eugene's MT3GS root method, using Unrevoked exploit.
OS X/Linux Users: remember to preface abd commands with ./ (./adb)
We now have the ability to flash custom recovery on the phone! (Thanks to the Unrevoked Team)
PREREQUISITE #1: You must have the android sdk installed on a Windows machine and know how to use adb. Alternatively, you can use a *nix/OS X box if you don't mind verifying devices without the loop to watch.
PREREQUISITE #2: Download Clockwork_Aria_MT3GS.zip
Process:
Format the SD card supplied with the phone like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7029045&postcount=283 (Thanks Yoshiofthewire) in a card reader if at all possible.
Copy your new ROM zipfile to the root directory of the SDCARD. DO NOT name it update.zip. DO NOT unzip it. You must flash the zipfile later.
Copy the contents of Clockwork_Aria_MT3GS.zip to the tools directory of your SDK, along with your ROM zipfile of choice.
Power up the phone, holding down the VOL-DOWN button.
Wait about 30 seconds, until some diagnostic checking is done.
Press volume down to highlight recovery, but to do not push power to execute just yet.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your SDK tools directory.
Start the loop.bat file and let it run. (Optional if you don't mind running adb devices until the decide to show up).
Get ready to connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable, but don't connect one end until you read the next step.
This part is a PIA and it's critical, and it's inconsistent and therefore may take quite a few tries to get it right: Pushing the power button first and then approximately one second later plug in the USB cord. (Think ONE THOUSAND ONE-PLUG)
When the triangle/exclaimation over phone graphic appears, hold volume up and press power. This will bring you to stock recovery.
If this works, your loop running the adb devices command will list the device. If not, start from the beginning from power up. This can take a lot of tries, be patient and don't give up. Not all SD cards will work reliably.
Once devices are listed in the loop, hit CTRL-C to terminate the loop if you've started one. Hurdle one complete.
In recovery, use volume down to select Apply sdcard:update.zip and push the power button to execute (This will fail, but it's enabled write access for me.)
adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip and press the enter on keyboard to execute. (No - that's not a typo)
If that pushes without error, then enter adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip but do NOT press enter.
In recovery, again scroll down with power down to select sdcard:update.zip but do not execute yet.
Press the power button and then watch phone to say "verifying" and then press enter IMMEDIATELY on the keyboard. If timed right, Clockwork recovery should load. If not, start back at step push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip and repeat from there until clockwork loads.
Optional: From Clockwork Recovery, do a Nandroid backup.
From Clockwork Recovery, select install zip from sdcard, and execute, then choose zip from sdcard and execute, and then you can scroll down to your pre-rooted rom of choice and execute that to flash it. In Clockwork you can scroll with trackpad or volume buttons, and you can execute with either the power button or a trackpad button push.
If you get stuck trying to get Clockwork to load:
Try a different sdcard and start again from the first step.
Check out Modest Android's post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7006760&postcount=2
The Unrevoked Team has more info here: http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:adb_in_recovery
On a rooted Aria, do yourself a huge favor and install Clockwork Recovery. See this thread: Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!)
Also, enable installation of non-Market (untrusted) apps (sideloading):
COMMON:
Start the phone normally.
Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)
Leave the phone running - do not reboot to Clockwork.
adb remount
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
Linux/OS X:
echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|./sqlite3 settings.db
WINDOWS:
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
COMMON:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Reboot phone and sideloading works. (thanks to fluffyarmada)
When I get a chance, I'll figure out how to do a proper menu toggle.

Thanks attn1 and whoever else worked on the Aria. Awesome job.
very impressive!
Remember I told you I had a feeling it would work!
Oh and whenever went into recovery during the root process after running the loop did you actually select recovery from the menu or did you use the other method we talked about in that other thread?
What is the procedure for removing the bloatware? As I said in the other thread, this will be my first endeavor into the Android market and I hope this is not a stupid question.

does anyone have a stock rom for the HTC aria? Just wondering if ever i want to go back to the original ROM.
if you give this a try, please let us know how it went. that would be a big bonus.
thanks!

You are still on the stock ROM....rooting doesn't flash a different ROM
I am trying this but i can't get past the start of running loop...i am following the guide linked to, can anyone give me a bit more explanation?

Thanks Opiate, but so far, just one person has confirmed. I only asked to get general census on how well its going for everyone.
I trust the op too.. but still, for some of us... this will be our first 'rooting' a android. I love the phone way too much to screw something up.
I followed the instructions on the 'Root the Slide' page... But I must have done something wrong... because I still can't su. And now I can't get adb to detect the phone in recovery mode. Hmm...
Everything seemed to work though... this is strange.
And, yes, USB Debugging is enabled. I'm trying to re-do the whole process, but I can't get the phone to show up on adb.

Sure. Once your are in clockwork, you can do a Nandroid backup. You can always restore that.
How did you get this to work?
Even with a fresh gold card I am not seeing an Offline Device

This is not the easiest root I've ever done. Read the MT3G thread carefully, especially the last few pages. Getting adb to work in recovery takes some patience and some retries.
Loading ota.zip as update.zip and then switching with update.zip as the file is verified also takes time to get just right.
It's a PIA, but it's doable.
Very new at this kinda lost. Got my first android phone trying to figure all this stuff out. Is there a complete idoits gudie to this whole process. Btw loving my little android.
Method 1 was discovered by a noob - Dav22. Dazweeja came up with a simple ADB command. Skygear for working it in Terminal Emulator
Method 2 was discovered by sieempi (Links at the bottom), STRING: NOT FOUND workaround found by jackmonter5
Big thanks to xplod4202. Risked his Sensation to see if Methd 2 was safe for us all.
And The simple guide : xl Viper lx : I am simply doing what i do best. getting you a noobproof guide and also simplifying the adb/terminal code
All of us will take credit for the collaborating and making of this thread to help everyone unlock with no cost. What???.....Yes thats right......We broke the FTSE index by providing free unlocks! lol
Also 9 people who voted no in the poll, ad voted before we found method 2 which unlocks every sensation
METHOD 1 - USE THIS FIRST
The SIM-Unlock code location for some sensation's (NOT ALL) has been found and confirmed to work for the few users who tested it. Use method 1 below to find your unlock code
(Method 1 ADB guide in post 2 if you don't want to use Terminal Emulator or you just want to use ADB)
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation - Enable USB debugging in Settings > Application ->Development
-Terminal Emulator (Download free from the market) or click here to download and install into your phone
Your IMEI Number (Dial "*#06#" in phone keypad to get it)
GUIDE - Method 1
1. Download Terminal Emulator from the market if you havent already done so and Run it. This should bring you a blue screen. Full screen.
2. enter the command "SU".
3. Click allow when Super user pop up appears to give it root access. (If your keyboard disappears, keep hold of menu button to bring it back up)
4. enter the command "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6"
5. This should give Output a bunch of numbers like in the screenshot! IF IT SAYS STRING: NOT FOUND MOVE TO POST 2 AND USE ADB!
6. The 8 digit number above your IMEI number is your unlock code. See post 2 on how to enter it.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
IF it only brings you a date above your IMEI. Then the unlock code is not present in your device. Move to Method 2
GUIDE - Method 2 - USE IF METHOD 1 FAILED!
Revolutionary achieved radio S-OFF for Sensation (among other devices) which means you can practically do whatever you want with your phone (like actually owning it). This means it makes it vulnerable to all sorts of schemes including sim-unlock. The following method is quite efficient and easy to do and can be done with the need for a computer!
Requirements:
-Rooted simlocked Sensation!
-Clockwork Recovery or Revolutionary Recovery - NEEDED FOR NANDROID BACKUP
-Titanium Backup (Download from the market if you don't have it) - YOU ONLY NEED THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO OR CAN'T NANDROID BACKUP
WARNING!!!
Backup all your settings/apps/sms/network/APN/Data etc.
Using this method to unlock will wipe your data and apps too! (Factory Resets in other words)
But it's this method that actually resets some other things including your sim-lock status.
Guide - Method 2
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP USING RECOVERY - (Completely switch off your phone, Press Volume down + Power button to get into bootloader, Volume down to recovery then press power button to get into Recovery. Volume down to "Backup and Restore" in recovery. Press Power to backup and your done!
(Make a backup in Titanium backup if you don't want to or can't nandroid backup. Menu > BAtch >Backup systems data + Apps with data)
2. Download PG58DIAG for the Sensation HERE or FROM MULTIUPLOAD
3. Copy the PG58DIAG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
4. Turn off your phone Fully and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post 2 on how to get to bootloader screen)
5. Press Volume Down to Enter DIAG - Place the phone horizontally when it asks you too. (Flat)
6. Press power button to select "Clean S58 Data
7. Press power again to "clean S58 Data".
8. POW - your unlocked! Try a SIM card from a different provider!
9. Delete the file from your SD Card (Delete PG58DIAG) and REBOOT!!
Your phone Will set up for the first time, go through it all till you get to your home screen
10. Go back into recovery and restore nandroid backup. same method as step 1 above. but instead of backup, you use restore feature
(Use Titanium Backup to restore if you used it to backup instead of Nandroid backup)(Menu > Batch > Restore System Data + Apps with user data)
Now you’re free to go! Bear in mind, though, in certain circumstances you will lose your data connectivity or network signal. You’ll just need to check your APN, network type etc. and re-enter them; Just run the nandroid restore to get everything back
Thanks to Dav22. for discovery of method 1
Dazweeja for his simple Code to find the unlock
sieempi for Method 2.
Thanks to Team Revolutionary for PG58DIAG and S-off
Don't forget to CLICK THANKS, VOTE and RATE if this guide worked for you.
don't forget to thank the above users too by clicking the links
Method 1 ADB GUIDE
METHOD 1 - ADB GUIDE- Skip steps 1 to 5! if you already have already got ADB and can get to the ADB folder through command prompt/Terminal. If your not sure follow all the steps
1. Download adb tools here: download for Windows or Linux or from attachments in the Sensation S-off guide
2. On your PC click on your local disk C: Drive (or D: drive for some) (WINDOWS users: Start > My computer > Local Disk (C)
3. Create a new folder called "adb" and extract the files from adb.zip into it. Make sure it doesn't create another folder in the adb folder when extracting
4. open command prompt (or terminal for linux) and type "cd" "followed by the path to your adb folder" (windows users can type "cd C:\adb")
5.a Ensure your phone is switched on (regular home screen) and connect it by USB in charging mode (Ensure usb debugging is on settings) OR!!!!
[ IF YOU GOT THE STRING:NOT FOUND ERROR IN METHOD 1 (terminal Emulator) REBOOT INTO RECOVERY AND CONNECT YOUR USB AND CONTINUE (Turn off your phone completely, volume down + power button, then select recovery to get into it!) ]
6. enter the command "adb shell". Your phone should display a hash sign [#] (if it doesn't then you are not rooted! - GO ROOT)
7. enter the command "SU".
8. enter the command "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6"
9. This should output a bunch of details as shown in the screenshot below
10. The 8 digit number above your IMEI is your unlock code. See post 2 on how to enter it. IF it only brings you a date and your IMEI. Then the unlock code is not present in your device. Move to Method 2 in Post 1
To unlock your GSM phone with the unlock code follow these simple steps:
1. Power on your Sensation with a SIM card from an unsupported network/carrier/provider.
2. If asked, enter the PIN code of your SIM Card.
3. Enter unlock code when prompted!
FOR DUAL CDMA
How to enter the code in dual CDMA - GSM/LTE HTC Phones
1. Power on your Sensation with a SIM card from an unsupported network/carrier/provider.
2. Phone will tell you to insert an allowed SIM card and that the phone will switch back to CDMA mode.
3. Click OK.
4. Click green button to get to the main screen of the phone.
5. Click on settings.
6. Click on all settings.
7. In the personal tab click on security.
8. The phone will ask you to enter the unlock code. Enter it. Done
You hook it up again bro! I love your guides! Noobproof for sure.
Thanks VipeR strikes Again. This has worked on a few Sensations. need to verify it works on more devices and its worth a shot.!
Awesome guide.
Wonder why SH**** serials don't have this.

My Blog - My Youtube Channel
Hello everyone,
Today I want to explain you how to install a custom rom for the HTC Sensation , Sensation XE & Sensation 4G.
I have recorded videos, and I am now creating this thread to share my experience with you! If you know my blog, you can also find the How To on my blog
So this thread has to be separated in different sections:
I - How To unlock the bootloader (easy)
II - How To Hboot S-Off your Sensation, with hboot 1.27 & 1.29 it works (strange but not difficult)
III - How To Install the recovery, 2 different methods (easy or medium)
IV - How To perm Root your phone (easy)
V - How To install a custom rom on your phone (easy)
X - Any questions?
You can't miss one of this point. You must do it on the order.
I can't be held responsible for anything wrong on your device. I have done that twice and it works for me! If you have some questions, I can try to answer you, but you are responsible if you brick your phone!
RequierementsSo to proceed, there is some requierements:

Article on my blog
This article has been writing to explain you exactly how to pass your HTC Sensation / XE / 4G to Hboot S-Off. I have succeeded to do that with hboot 1.27.xxxx & 1.29.xxxx.
There is no any reason for not working! But this manipulation is strange, because you have to use a cable to connect the sdcard to a special hole! I haven't done that before, but it works!
You can also follow this article with the video!
So before doing this How To, you must have done the previous One:
How To Unlock the Bootloader
Let's Go:
- Uncheck Fastboot
Menu / Settings / Power / Uncheck Fastboot
- Check USB debugging
Menu / Settings / Dev Options / Check Usb Debugging
- Download the temproot-sensation-windows file: Download link
- Unzip this file into a folder on your computer
- Run the temp_root.bat, your phone must be connected by HTC Sync
your phone must reboot
- Download the ControlBear for Juopunut: MOD-Edit: Link removed on Developers Request. No rehosting allowed by him. Please link to Developers xda-thread or not at all
Thanks to http://unlimited.io
Main page: http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm (you must use it to download
- Extract it and run the controlbear.exe
THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT OPERATION. Be quiet, patient, and take your time, it's difficult to succeed in only one time.
You must watch the video at 6:15 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCwEbh_JsI8
- Take a cable,
- Remove the back from your phone, you must unplug your phone to do that.
If the computer wait for the device, remove the battery then restart your phone and plug it to the computer.
The video is an easier way to see how to do.
You must be patient and have a screen like that on your phone:
And on your computer the cmd command with:
Do not remove sdcard from phone
Do wire-trick now!! Check the instructions at http://unlimited.io
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You must do the wire-trick
Press the cable on the sdcard protection during 0.5sec, release during 1.75sec press again during 0.5sec.
2 possibilities:
It doesn't work:
1 - Your phone do not restart. Try again
2 - Your phone restart, but stay on the same Juopunut Bear screen. You have an Error Code.
Close the cmd command and run the controlbear.exe again
It works:
Your phone restart and you have this two different screens:
- Press Y and enter to accept
You can now see the S-Off on your phone when you restart it on Bootloader mode!
We now have to remove the temp root!
- Restart your phone
- Go to the folder extracted before: Temproot Sensation Windows
- Plug your phone to your computer
- Run the temp_root_remove.bat
Some commands are launched & your phone restart
Your phone is Now S-Off
You can now Flash the recovery!
Method 1
Method 2
Article on my blog
If you have followed the previous How To, you must, because they are necessary to continue with this one, you must know I have done it twice. Once with the Sensation XE and the over one with the Sensation.
I have succeed to unlock bootloader and SOff twice with the same method. But I haven't been able to flash the recovery on the Sensation with the same method than the one used for the Sensation XE!
So I have to show you 2 different means to do that.
The first one is my favorite because you understand what you do. The second one is easier because you use a tool!
Method 1- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Restart your phone on fastboot mode.
- Plug your phone to the computer.
- Open the cmd windows on your computer:
Start / run / cmd
- Copy & paste the file downloaded into the tools folder containing the fastboot.exe...
- On the cmd command go the the location to the recovery
mine is: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
So the command is: cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools
Then, enter this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
This command means: I want to flash by the fastboot a recovery named: recovery-clock....
You must see on the cmd 2 times OKAY
If this method failed, you can try the second one.
Now you can use the recovery, try it!
To use it:
Volume up: up arrow
Volume down : down arrow
Power : enter
Method 2- Download KGS Utility v6.6 attached to the xda thread
- Connect your phone on HTC Sync
- Run menu.bat On KGS Utility
- Choose Install 4Ext Recovery (number3)
- Then Choose 0
- You want to proceed so press 1
- You device is the only on the list 1
- Download the file recovery: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img
- Rename it by recovery.img
- Move this file to: KGS_Utility_v6.6/tools
- On cmd press a key to continue
Your device must reboot on fastboot mode
Now, you must have twice OKAY on your computer screen!
You can now follow the next how to: To root your HTC Sensation!
Article on my blog
- Download the file: su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (new link 10 - 05 -2013)
- Place this file on your device
- Restart on Fastboot mode
- Select recovery
When the recovery is running
Select:
- Install from sdcard
- Choose zip from sdcard
Go to the place where the file is located
- selected it
- Confirm by Yes
Now your phone is rooted
Enjoy to Install a custom rom
I MUST FINISH IT SOON, I am so tired right now
Also I have to change pictures by correct sizes and links to big sizes
Enjoy this part!
If you follow the video, you can do everything alone
Be patient, be quiet and Enjoy!
Flow.
great share!Thanks for your work!
heh why temp root for HTC-DEV unlocked soff process ? root will be much better ..as they can ignore removing temp root again ..after SOFF ..for root (works for both SOFF and HTC-DEV unlock) they can use my one-click -root tool (present in the soff guide ..link in my signature ...it basically uses the temp root method only then flashes the required root files then removes temp root ) ..just a single click of root.bat (also you can include this a final root alternative ..as this requires no recovery )
EDIT: also ppl who have their motherboards replaced ..were unable to do HTC-DEV unlock due to IMEI changes ...so in that case the general soff method wont work ..and hyuh(aka globatron ..one of dev of juopunutbear) is kind enough to release another version of controlbear..which just works with temp root ..and my guide covered that ...so in this case you can either redirect them to my guide (link in my signature) or you can use that info and add another sub-section here
EDIT2: also as for recovery ..if 4EXT there is the easiest way of installing it ..i.e doing root using my root tool and by using the recovery_updater.apk/reeocovery_controller.apk (the latter is in play store ) ..check the 4EXT thread for more info regarding the apk's

hey flow! nice to see you again
great guides for everyone who just buy a new sensation, like how great your rom review video
Thanks! Worked perfect. S-off on my 1.27.000 bootloader. Anyone nervous about trying it...it's not that bad at all. You might have to do the wire trick like 20 times, but it will work.

Boot into hboot and fastboot flash the recovery using ADB. You also need to have a ROM on your SD card that you can flash after you install the recovery.
