Hi guys, I followed the guide on here to permanently S-off my phone and root it, so I'd be able to overclock it, change bootloaders, etc.
The guide worked fine, but when I try flashing the kernel it just aborts it. Both the cache and dalvik cache get cleared by clockworkmod, but it just refuses to do it. And then I have to restore my backup as clearing the cache somehow prevents WiFi from working.
Is there anything I can do to allow a kernel change?
Also, I've noticed that some apps like es file explorer and setCPU still think the phone's not rooted, even though I've been able to allow superuser access for an adblocker app.
Any ideas what's going on?

Does your hboot show ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF?

ok now that we know ur problem, help us out by being more specific, are u using a custom rom? if not did u root your phone? or just dl superuser.... which kernel? try dling it again cause it might be corrupt.... as long as the file is goood then u should hav no problem unless the zip isnt signed.... but other then that you should be able to flash any kernel u want, is your sd card working? it could be corrupt too, the best kernel i hav tried for the sensation is brickeddd
It says ship s-off mate.
And it's currently on the standard 3UK rom build 2.3.4, standard kernel. It's all stock apart from me following the guide on here to add clockworkmod and permanently s-off. The superuser app simply appeared once I'd s-off'd. And an adblocker already sees root access and is working and visible in the superuser list, but for some reason es file explorer and setCPU say it's not rooted.
That adblocker had a pop up window requesting superuser access, but the other apps don't, they simply say it can't.

I may be wrong is saying this but I believe you have to be ENG S-OFF in order to flash the Kernel?
Try flashing Hboot-1.17.2008 and see if you can flash the Kernel after that.
fastboot flash hboot hbootname.img
Do you have a download link for it, or is it easy to find on Google?
And what's the difference between ship s-off and eng s-off?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
My understanding is that Engineering S-Off is required in order to flash new radio's and kernels, Shipped is just what comes on the phone as default.
Link is http://www.multiupload.com/QPX0XVKUXQ Once you have downloaded it copy the file into the same folder as your Fastboot and then run the command above.
You need the ENG S-OFF to flash a radio using the fastboot commands but Revolutionary puts their HBOOT on which unlocks them so it shouldn't be an issue
To the OP, does it say 'Revolutionary' at the top of the HBOOT screen?

Did you use HTC's unlocking method that was posted here? If so, you need to use the fastboot from your pc in order to flash kernels. If you used the unlocking method by Revolutionary, you would see the work "Revolutionary" in a purple box and white letters spelling Revolutionary at the top of your bootloader page.
So i finished reading your post and it sounds like you used HTC's unlocking method. Post a screenie of your bootloader page for us.

That's because you didn't run Revolutionary 3 times. Ideally, the app is meant to reboot the bootloader 3 times but at present it doesn't (you get an error say it's lost communication). If you do't go through the process completely you'll get S-OFF but NOT the Revo HBOOT so fastboot commands will still be locked
For anyone interested, this is the guide I followed and did steps 1 to 3:

Download the hboot.img from the link provided. Place this into the same folder to which Fastboot is located.
Open a command prompt, browse to the Fastboot folder and type fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

Hello everybody
I have HTC Sensation with original(no custom rom) ICS 4.0.3 and Hboot 1.27 version, i want to delete stock programs, which i don't need. I tried with revolutionary.io to root but it says that Hboot version is incompatible. So what can i do now? Is there any solution?
By the way, root and S-off is the same thing?

no root and soff are different
check for soff at hboot
deleting stock programs are difficult but with titanium backup you can freeze the system apps at least afaik
So what i must do to be able to delete stock programs? S-off or root?
You need s-off to delete apps as you are editing /system. However you can flash a custom rom which will install without all the junk apps. You need to unlock with HTC.dev then root. Be aware this has limitations, you cannot flash firmwares or use advanced fastboot commands. S-off is superior.
If you decide the flash, I recommend sharpy strpt cm9 - 8 apps when flashed!

You are already rooted. All the custom roms are rooted also supersu is the app which manage the root privilages so you are rooted.also I guess you have complete unlocked bootloader and soff
Which are required for custom Rom installation.
(Verify these on bootloader you'll have revolutionary in pink and soff when you boot into bpootloader)
For stable Rom I reccomend ARHD

Unfortunately you cant S-off your phone right now, only with HTCDev, but this will not give you a proper S-off. You will have to wait untill Juopunutbear is released, this will give you proper S-off and allow you to do everything with your phone.
1. Need to Unlock Bootloader at http://htcdev.com/
2. After the download is complete Unlock Bootloader Recoverymanager file on the new computer to run on the DC Recover
Note: The above must be on the phone setting -> application -> On the next Unkown Sources and Development -> USB Debugging pop up
After the download is complete Recoverymanager file to extract, open up the program, press start, select download recovery, select HTC Sensation, select CWM 5.0.2.0 (pyramid) and click download and flash
After the show flash inflate a screen that asks Yes, No, cancel. Make sure you select No, the phone will reboot into recovery. If you choose the other 2 will not install.
After running Recovery may be normal in nhe1 thats alright.
3. After installation is complete you use CWM file attached to root su: in recovery, select the file and select install from zip file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
Is this method also valid for S-ON ?

The only error is that the file doesn't exist for S On & *locked* users, although I can't confirm if this because this is true I've only heard about this from a couple of users.
The rest of the tool is bug free.
If you want to install a custom ROM then you will have to do either one of the following:
Use HTC Dev Unlock & Stay S On.
S Off without voiding your warranty. and then continue with this tutorial from step 1
Now, for the second method, you can also use my tool.
And frankly, because you are starting from scratch, the tool will make everything easy. Here's the options that you need to select:
First, S Off.
then Install 4EXT Recovery
then Install Firmware
then download your ROM & Install by selecting install ZIP from recovery.

I was in your state as well. I was trying to see wait whether Revolutionary.io would produce a newer version for the HBOOT 1.27. But I got tired of waiting and just went on to use other methods. In the beginning, it's a bit confusing. It took me a while to understand everything. But once you follow the steps, everything should become more simple.
A problem that I encounter was install 4EXT Recovery. I couldn't install it at first. I just install Clockwork's Recovery and flashed the ROM I picked. Then I went ahead and downloaded the apk for the 4EXT Recovery and install it from there. It was troublesome in the beginning, but it was well worth it.
My suggestion is that you should do HTC Dev Unlock first. Then S-OFF.

Once you've unlocked the boot loader and installed a custom recovery such as Clockwork or 4ext, you can do what's called a nandroid backup which basically takes an image of your phone - software, apps, data, the lot - which means that if anything goes wrong you can just restore that and it'll be exactly how it was when you backed it up.
Rooting your phone in itself shouldn't mean that you have to re-install any apps. Rooting just means that you give yourself full access to your phone's system. However, if you decided to install a new ROM, you would then need to replace your apps and one of the most popular and best ways of doing this is with an app called Titanium Backup - there are others, but this is what I use and it's never failed me.
I have no knowledge of z4root. I used a guide on here somewhere to root my phone, via something called Revolutionary.
Hope that helps. :thumbup::thumbup:

I'd go straight to S-OFF because with the newer version of JuopunutBear S-OFF you dont need to have htcdev unlock
The JuopunutBear download is here and the guide you need to follow by ganeshp is here
Thankyou both very much,i shall continue my quest tomorrow as its a bit late to start all this now.
Here let me do some explaining for you. when you purchase your device it comes with the security on or what is referred to as S-ON. It also comes with a locked bootloader. Now what that means is that as long as you are S-ON you only have read permissions on the internal storage partitions of the device. The locked bootloader will not let you flash unsigned software to the device and it limits the fastboot and ADB commands you can use with the device. When you S-OFF your device you gain read and write permissions to all the partitions. But even after you S-OFF your device you still have to flash a unlocked bootloader or what is commonly called a eng Hboot to be fully unlocked as you can see by the above explanation.
Now to cover the difference between HTC Dev unlock and S-OFF via JuopunutBear. When you use HTC Dev unlock you gain write permissions to your system partition, recovery partition, and your boot partition. But unlike when you are full S-OFF and you just simply flash the ROM as one package via recovery. After using HTC Dev unlock you have to extract the boot.img and flash it via fastboot commands, or you can install 4EXT recovery and the 4EXT Recovery Updater app then enable Smart Flash to flash the boot.img. Now because you do not gain write permissions to all the partitions you can not flash splash screens, radios, or firmware packages when you use HTC Dev unlock.
Now to talk about root, when you root your device you essentially fully open up the line of communication between the OS and the Linux kernel. It allows the OS to have more access to hardware and to a certain extent software. This allows the user to get the full potential out of the device. Now to root the Sensation you just need to flash Superuser or SuperSU via recovery and then install BusyBox from the Google Play store. Now I had originally plained to go into further details and tell you what both are for but I will not right nowcause my stupid phone erased the original much longer post I had wrote when I went to another tab o my browser.
Go to Recognized Contributor malybru's stickie thread " A great starting point for all new Sensation owners" here in the Sensation General forum for links to everything you need to know.

with htcdev method after unlocking bootloader it will do a factory reset to the device
but your sdcard will be untouched
if you follow the S-OFF procedure first you must backup all your contents in your sdcard because during the procedure(in the moment of the wire trick) it will erase everything in your sdcard

Chill guys
Plz confirm one last thing, (just making sure)
No need for the unlock process using HTCDEV when using the file you pm'ed me with, I mean no need for HTCDEV unlock bootloader in order to achieve perma root
Am I right?
