Hi,
Have recently upgraded from my desire which was rooted etc
Tried to root my sensation today have all the drivers installed, HTC sync uninstalled. I load up revolutionary and put the code in and its all fine til it says waiting for fastboot and it just stops there. The phone has gone to fastboot just to clarify. Please help really want to use custom ROMs.
Thanks

There are plenty of threads in the development section to help you with this.
When I rooted my phone i was also confused because my phone restarts like 10 times and i was so confused what to do so the only thing you can do is wait and if it doesn't solve your problem then try another usb port and if it doesn't work then you might have to try in another system or laptop

Hey guys , sold my iPhone 4 and picked up an htc sensation 4g with tmobile . I have a MacBook so jailbreak was nice and easy ...... Now I'm trying to s-off and get this rooted and having a hard time figuring it out ! I tried using my little brothers win7 laptop and managed to get a beta key ...... My problem is when I use my brothers win7 laptop and try to open the revolutionary.io software it just opens and instantly closes the app ? Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong and is trying to unlock and root with my Mac is useless ? Thanks in advance for any input or help ! P.s I'm not super tech savvy

When I got this phone earlier I tried to do the s-off things with revolutionary software (this was new to me cause I am coming from a lg all we had to do to root was install gingerbreak), anyway I followed all the steps but when I tried to connect the software would just always say waiting for device???. Anyone have any ideas

Different phone, and same issue. Before doing anything, but can you tell us if you are S-ON or S-OFF?
I'm sorry could you explain what you mean with S-off/on?

Have you installed any custom roms on your phone? Is it as you got from the shop?

You will have to install an original HTC RUU before getting the official update. Otherwise you can use any custom ROM instead.
Yeah, just try a custom like ARHD. I think it run smoother, perhaps ur problems dissapear.
Get an original recovery first !!!
You should get an original recovery "Stock Recovery" before you do that . . .
try to do that by installing the RUU rom for your phone and your carrier ok
So after installing a costum ROM it should work? Okay ill give it a shot and answer if it works or not. Thanks anyway for your help!

I did something terrible with my HTC Sensation XE and while trying to S-ON i bricked it using the following command...
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Now em unable to switch ON my cell phone.. Its completely BRICKED... Has anyone over here any idea on how to resolve this problem... If you know of some method kindly post the link here...
Thanks
I assume you've already looked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193540
That guide wont work.... He can't turn the phone on. You have yourself a hard brick. I don't think it can be recovered since you can't power up the device.

This is from the sensation forum. I would assume that it would work for the xe as well using appropriate ruu. At least a place to ask this question. Seems to be made for exactly that problem.

Exact same thing happens to me.
Is it the root that's causing it or is it the bootloader not being stock?
It was told a million times (if not a billion) not to update your rooted phone via OTA
However this issue can be resolved easily - search Developement forum stickies for solution.
