does any have the actual download files for revolutionary 0.4pre1. You cant download previous versions on the website, and from what it looks like there are a number of people that cant get thier latest version to run at all.
thx in advance
You must download the drivers for the phone the thread to get just the drivers is stickied in the sensation section.. trust me it works. Also install htc sync on pc.

v4 works fine, you just need to run it 3 times as you'll get the 'communication has been lost' error. After 3 times running it it'll say you're already S-OFF and do you want to flash CWM
I have all the drivers ,that's not the issue. I mean the program wont run like It's a software compatibility issue. I already ran it as a administrator and etc.then after googlingfor hours I saw 0.3pre version and it ran but its not supported for the ota update of gingerbread which is why I'm hoping someone has a previous build of the program.

Hi Darcnes,
I have done this a few times now myself and have seen similar symptoms to the issue you have mentioned. I suspect that it maybe something on your PC that is causing this.
I will go thru a few things that you may already have but just need to check.
1. Assume you are running Windows on your pc. XP pls ensure you have activesync installed. Win7 Windows Mobile Device Centre. Kinda dumb I know but still need to check.
2. I think you may also need .net v3.0 installed to your pc especially if running XP.
3. Check your antivirus is not preventing the un-packaging or tagging the .exe as a threat.
I have had all the above effect rom updates at various times. Usually when I have re-built my PC and missed installing something.
Lastly you could try it from a different PC just to confirm all is ok.
hey mate... thanks dl'd it on my laptop and all worked fine..not sure why my desktop wouldn't do it..at least i know for next time..thanks again
I got a new phone today from AT&T. I upgraded to the new ATT Gingerbread using their update button (I wasn't thinking). I like the stock rom...will probably keep it...but I need to be rooted so I can sideload! Help!
I tried Bubby's tool...it just said something about update version being older than what was currently in the system...so it wouldn't work for me! I'm about to try ace-hack-kit...hopefully that'll work for me!

I was able to root with attn1's hack kit just this morning with Gingerbread. btw. Sideloading is now "legal" unknown sources checkbox is in the stock GB rom.
Unknown sources
Strange...I didn't see unknown sources in the stock unrooted gb upgrade. I saw mock locations...but not unknown sources. Update...the Hack Kit seemed to work. Now I'm working on S-off.

Ya its in stock gingerbread I got it without root right under applications in settings
Just a little side note:
I flashed today the new Inspire ROM provided through the HTC site. There are 2 things I found.
1. If you flash over a custom ROM using the PC method (using file RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio _12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed hosted on HTC's site) you will go back to total stock, loosing all rooting ENG-OFF etc. You will have a plain ATT ROM. Even recovery will be reset to HTC. No CMR anymore. It might be good to know that you get full stock if you want to return your unit....
2. Good news is, the old method is still working except that the USB drivers act up. I got back to rooted by reinstalling HTC SYNC and leaving it on. ADB only worked for me (Windows 7 32bit) when phone was set to sync and not to "charge only".
Hope this helps somebody.

If you have ENG S-OFF, then that is strictly a function of the engineering HBOOT image and flashing a new HBOOT will clear it, but if you have Radio S-OFF (which is typical of most of the rooting methods available for Inspire/DHD) then flashing a new HBOOT (or any or all other images from an RUU) won't clear radio S-OFF.
Hi All.
Noob alert!!!!!!
Straight off the bat I'm having problems performing my first ROM upgrade.
Following the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and downloading the S-OFF utility I immediately get stuck.
Downloaded the Windows version of S-Off, unzipped it to a folder and ran it, only to get a dos window flash on and off so fast I can't see the error. I can just about make out it saying something like "HTC Sync is incompatible with this tool"
What am I doing wrong? Had a dig around the thread but with over 2000 pages....couldn't find any hints last night. I've since checked through numerous YouTube videos and I still can't see what, if anything that I'm doing wrong.
I have tried it on both my PC and Laptop just in case it was an OS issue.
Sorry to bother but driving me nuts and frustration getting the better of me.
Stock HTC Sensation HBOOT 1.18.0000

Hi,
You have to be careful to read everything.
Did you go to the revolutionary page and download and read the documentation page?
It includes links to drivers you will need .
As i remember it the phone has to be plugged in via USB before you start.
And did you fill out the beta key as well.
Uninstall HTC SYNC.
First, install HTC sync to get the needed drivers, then uninstall it. The drivers will be left on your PC. Also, temporarily close any antivirus while running revo
Like the titles says, I bought a rooted phone from someone and it's messing up so now I'd like to take it back to factory settings 100% with the latest update, and unrooted as well. I'm currently frustrated to be honest...I've been trying to do this for the last 6 hours and it's not working out.
Recently my number has not been showing up when I call people it just shows as withheld/unknown, and also when people call me it always shows their numbers as unknown even if they are saved in my phone already. I was told at T-Mobile these problems are just part of the version software I'm running on my phone and I should update it.
I've tried doing the latest update through the phone and it will restart then be stuck on the screen with the little green guy sitting under a triangle with a orange exclamation mark inside of it. I took it to T-Mobile and they tried to install the latest software and eventually (after many times trying to update it) said I just need to go home and find the latest software update and install it via my computer to bring it back to 100% normal as they cannot do it without it being hooked up to my computer.
Where can I even download the latest firmware/whatever it's called and how would I do the updating with the phone connected to my computer? Is there a guide I can be linked to to explain updating rooting/unlocking/etc all in one thread?
If there are any specific threads that already have this information please link me, I haven't found anything that helps me thus far! Thanks ahead of time for your help with this everyone!
Try this good luck

Thanks for the link and attempting to help me but I've just gone to start that process and I already have a problem with it. My HBOOT version is not listed on the websites supported HBOOT versions.
I have 1.17.1111 and it's not on the list of HBOOT versions, there is only a 1.17.0011. So what should I do now?
I need to unroot and uninstall anything that would effect this process firstly (I'm not sure how to do that either). I want to do a total wipe of everything and uninstall all modifications to phone as well, then I want to re-do the best ones. So I will need to be linked to a guide to do these as, obviously, I'm one of those stupid needy nubs roaming the forums. Also, how would I go about finding and downloading the latest t-mobile update (Android 2.3.4 / software version 1.50.531.1) for this phone? The guys at the store said there was a new one that just came out and that I'd need to download it and install it via computer.
Hello
The first thing you are gonna do is write supercid follow this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 - step 4
This is so you can flash any RUU, you want and not to brick your device.
After that find the a RUU that matches your phone company : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
After that run it on your phone. When you have done that, you should be non-rotted, stock recovery(means that you can install updates from HTC), but you are still S-off. Now this is a very tricky a dangerous thing to do.
I have done it before, and I did it exactly as I am telling you to do. Now click on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And go to step 5, and do as exactly it says, when done, you should be s-ON and now your phone should be as It was new
That is what I did and nothing went wrong, but don't blame me if something goes wrong
Nvm, I think I might have it now.

Okay, I can do the above if you could tell me where I can get TMOUS_1.45.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208218_signed.exe downloaded, or even the newest 1.50.531.1
I followed the links on there until it sends you to filefactory.com and gives you a SUPER slow download. I have a 16mb connection and it's downloading at 20kb/s which is going to make this take 4 hours as this is 389mb to grab this replacement.
Can you tell me of another place where I could download this where it allows faster downloads without having to pay for a membership to get this update?

You need to download RUU Tmobile version 1.29 and then update your way up to 1.50.531.1
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Yeah, I finally got it to 1.50. It took a lot of trial and error and reading and re-reading though. I'm just happy its done finally now.
What's the best app to back up my phone like it is right now before I start trying to do other things to it?
What are considered the must have apps for the Sensation currently, or what are the coolest ones?
Can you add the beats audio to the regular Sensation? Or will it even effect the quality?

I previously had a Motorola Cliq and had no problem rooting the thing, but now I've got the MT4GS and it's giving me a headache. Since we're probably not getting ICS, I figured I'd experiment with some of these roms (pyr-o-ice sounds great). Problem is, I don't know where to start/the easiest way/any way. I tried the revolutionary method via unlockr.com and my computer (windows developers preview) won't recognize the drivers/neither will my other windows 7 computer. I can't get them to sync up. Because of that, I can't get my token ID to use that guy Hasoon's noob tool. I'm sure this has been answered before, but any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
get the drivers from here
Yeah so I got the driver, clicked install, and then boom. Still nothing happens. Windows recognizes that it's an " HTC Android Phone USB." But HTC Sync doesn't recognize it. Does that really matter?
try mr root....? lol never had that error
Yeah I've never really encountered it either. I downloaded Mr. Root (nice work, by the way), and I'm not sure what the instructions are for that because it automatically stops working as soon as I open the .exe cmd
Could it be the USB cable I am using? The divers say that they're not compatible with my version of Windows, but that doesn't seem to be the case. When I use the Revo tool it just says on the cmd prompt "Waiting for device..."
I thought you needed to exit HTC sync to make it work
I think it is the version of windows... Download linux? Ubuntu...? Borrow a computer...

No. Get rid of HTC Sync. It messes with everything while trying to root.
When I rooted, I had problems until I remembered to exit htc sync, but that was ages ago when we first got root.
Alright, cool. I'll give all of this a shot and check back in..thanks! This phone kicks ass, I can't believe we're not getting ICS
kk DONT run mr root with admin priviledges. It will messup. And also in the beginning type yes to enter device mode then plug in your device when prompted. Oh and also you should be using windows to operate it
It was either HTC sync, being an administrator, using windows dev. preview, or all of the above. Either way mr root worked w/revo, and now when i fastboot at the top it says S-Off RL. I assume that means mission accomplished? Thanks to everyone who helped out! This was definitely frustrating lol. Time for some stable(ish) ICS. Any recommendations?
I used the instructions given in the following thread:

cool kk thanks your done no go flash a cool ROM
I'm using Pyr o Ice desensed and it's ridiculous. Considering trying out your AOKP Wildchild Ice rom, but I'm still having fun with this one. The gap between gingerbread and ice cream sandwich is monstrous. The OS is basically as smooth as the iPhone now, which really says something about how far its come along.
