Hi there, I've got CM7 with S-OFF on my Sensation right now and I'm going to give my phone to my aunt since I upgraded to a GN
Just wondering, what's the easiest way to get it back to stock and wiping it too? I need it so that it'll start getting OTA updates again.. doesn't really matter if it stays rooted (I'd prefer that but whatever is easier..)
Tried looking at some guides but they all don't have what I'm looking for..

Just run the stock ruu for your carrier...and there is a few guides for this actually. You should prolly look at that sticky(the one about guides) again...

Hi,
I'm not sure which guides you have looked at.
Have you seen THIS ONE,
or THIS ONE
I don't get the updates either. How can I check if my phone is S-Off or not?

S off is not the reason you're not getting OTA, custom recovery would be the most likely culprit. To see if you are s off, poweroff the phone, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume down and power, release the power button but keep holding the volume down, H Boot should appear, it will say s off or s on.
Did you buy the phone new or used? Have you flashed any custom ROM?

Also, if did the superCID, make sure to return it to stock so your Aunt can get OTA updates.

So you can keep S-OFF and root and still get OTAs?
Nope, my phone was branded at first, but I flashed 2.3.4 (

so what CID should I set it to for T-Mobile USA??
Can't seem to find that anywhere.. and where/how do I wipe my SD card?
Here's a list of CID codes this should be of use to you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
To format your sd card connect your phone to your pc and right click format on your sd card when connected via storage mode
thanks Nik.. argghh the only thing I'm missing now is the RUU stock ROM. That link that's stickied in the dev forum for the latest T-Mobile USA ROM is dead.. trying to find a mirror now

Ok so i have the htc inspire and i tried to root it today, which didnt work out lol... but anywase whenever i try to play music or do anything that involves sound on the phone it dosnt work? i have a feeling that it may be a kernel issue but im not sure... my kernel is 2.6.32.2d now i dont know what the stock kernal is but im pretty sure this isnt it, so if you guys know anything about this or what has happened to my phone please tell me... thanks
It might help if you state what method you used to try to root, how far you got, and why it failed.

You need to elaborate a little more if you want some assistance.
Do you have s-Off?
What is your baseband number? That will indicate what radio you have and will give others an idea of where in the process you are.
Assuming you made it far enough in the process to get s-Off, you can just flash the ota stock ROM by attn1, which will have the OTA radio in it, if it turns out you are on the downgraded ROM/radio.
If you have anything other than the stock kernel/ROM on your phone, then the rooting was at least partially successful. You probably just need to get clockworkmod recovery installed correctly so you can install custom roms.

Yup, that looks like the downgraded radio the hack kit leaves you with.
S-Off basically means you can flash stuff. "Security off"
So as Gene said, you're partially through the process. You just need to get a good ROM/radio on.

You have an incorrect root, that happened to me. You need finish all the steps, when i did the root guide the software failed and the sound dissapeared. After push the software (to get root) and the root was successful, i recovered the sound.

ok man i just want to get my phone back to stock... is there a way that i could just do a FULL wipe of the device? ive tried doing it through the hboot way and going through the settings and doing the restore but both were unsuccesful
Just flash it eith rom i had same problem i use attn1 method i flashed with rom coredroid and all is fine
htc desire hd/inspire
Now that you are basically rooted there is not necessarily an easy way to get back to plain stock.
It can take a while for the average user I believe using the s on tool... but considering I do not have all of the info I will let someone else answer your question in full.

Go back to h boot, if it says "Ship s-off on the very top of the screen you should be all set. Make sure clockworkmod is installed. if not download rom manager from market and flash cwm through rom manager. Next go to the development form and find attn1's stock OTA update with radio. Download the file to your computer, place it on the root of your sd card. Make sure the file is named PD98IMG.zip, turn off phone and boot into h boot, when it says apply update? Press vol up and watch the magic happen. Also make sure there is no other files named PD98IMG.zip on your sd card as this will cause trouble. You will still be rooted with s-off but that's ok, I mean your were already trying to root, just cause you lost sound doesn't mean you should be afraid of rooting. Once you fix your problem and get a good handle on things, you'll be in love!

No, you can not. Because the radio isn't updated, you have the half of the steps.
You need finish all the steps of the root guide to have root and the sound working.

Hello, I have a question
I had on my sensation a custom rom
But i wanted back on a stock rom.
So now, i flashed a PG58IMG,but I have not thought about it that I no longer have root.
I've successfully instaled it, but when I start the mobile phone now I'm just the htc logo and no further.
So guys, anyone can help me with my problem.
I Think he bootloader is broken
I recommend going on youtube to find a solution, just search "how to get back to stock rom" or something like that, i am sure something will pop up, and see where you went wrong, if you did, or google it

A sure way for going back to stock is flashing a RUU. You'll still be s-off and you need to check that the RUU is compatible with your cid.

Pull out the battery, insert it, get into bootloader by pressing and holding vol down + power button hold them until you'll get into bootloader. Connect to a computer, change on fastboot mode and You are ready to flash a RUU
hi, I just bought a used htc inspire 4g, the guy how sold it to me told me that I just need it to do a hard rest and the phone will be good to go
I did the hard reset and the phone stays on th htc withe screen, a need to remove the batery for the phone to turn of
the phone does star up but its locked, i have the emei unlock code but wen I enter the code the phone says succssesfully unlock but wen the phone restarts its stays on the htc withe screen
I´ve been browsing arround and I thing it has a corrupt rom or something like that
I dont have the memory with any of the roms or anything like that
can I restore my phone to the original settings or how can I fix the problem?
thanks!
Well, I'm at a loss but let's see where this goes until someone else who knows joins the thread
While the phone is off press and hold the volume down button and while holding it down press the power button.
Wanna see if you get a few options there or if it boots normally.

Go to the HTC site, and in the support section download the GB update file (.exe). Boot into hboot (power + volume down) and then choose fastboot (you will see fastboot usb in red).
Then, let it work....that should flash the GB stock rom.
Just 1 piece of advice...NEVER INSTALL A FROYO RUU if your device was shipped with GB or you are not sure with what OS it came with....you will mess it further....

Hey guys, I'm getting a bell Sensation (The one with the AT&T bands) real soon and I want to know if I can just s-off it and flash roms like I would to a normal T-Mobile Sensation... Thanks...
that would depend on the H-boot it will come with. if it came with ICS, then most probably it will be H-boot 1.27, and there will be some trouble with that. although there is a method to S-Off that here in the development section.
of course you will need to de-brand it too. but don't worry, once you get the phone, search here and you will find all the answers on how to de-brand and everything that follows.
anything you wanna ask and couldn't find by search, post it here and we will help

I also have a Bell/Virgin Sensation and I rooted no problem. I am running a custom ROM.
I have the bell sensation running on the Telus network. As mentioned. it will depend on your h-boot.
Hold the volume-down button and the power button in the same from cold boot (take your battery off) and you should see the h-boot version on it. Anything above 1.27 will be more difficult if not... piece of cake.
Take out the battery again and boot up after that.
Alright so I finally got it and it might already be modded? It says unlocked, s-off, and hboot 1.29. Does that mean it's done, so I can flash any ROM now from the dev section? (With wipes and instruction following, Im not a noob lol)

Easiest way to check. See if you find an app called super user installed in your app tray. Or download an app called root checker to make sure.
Hi, Could anyone point me in the direction of an RUU for a UK O2 for my presently bricked S? I'm hoping that it, in combination with the All-in-One kit, will enable me to escape my present state of affairs. Pretty new to this recovery malarky so any pointers would be extremely welcome. Basically tried to unroot my handset but ended up with an unuseable lump instead. Boots OK but freezes at the unlock screen (although I can get the settings bar to drop down it won't let me access any of the sub menus). Surely someones been here before? Thanks

Pull the battery out n put back in then press and hold volume down + power button, that will boot u into bootloader then try factory reset option. If that cant be done google "shipped roms" and hopefully ul find the correct ruu there.

Pretty sure there isnt any ruu's for orange network. U can search if u want but dont think there is. U could try a WWE or Europe ruu (unbranded) but thats up to u, and i dunno if it will work. U mite need to make a gold card to bypass the cid check.
