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

its easy but if you scared then you should probably not do it because scared leads to complacations
Not that I'm scared I don't panic or anything haha I mean is there more of a risk than other phones that are not HTC

Let's just say I'm completely new to android, the sensation is my first android and first smartphone, and I have no background in computer knowledge other than what normal people know and I successfully S-OFFed my phone first time. Just follow the guide very closely and you should be fine, although I should note that some parts are in my opinion poorly written probably because of editing the op.

Really so I guess if I do everything as followed there should be nothing to worry about thanks.

just follow the instructions carefully and youll be fine. this is my first android device and first time ever s offing my phone and i successfully did it my first try
In my opinion, it's not harder than rooting a device using SuperOneClick (that I guess you know if you've rooted some devices already)
I would even say it's easier to use AlphaRev tool than writting codes with adb to have temp-root^^
I think the only risk would be to disconnect while making it S-off
Finally I think it's less risky than flashing a rom or a radio
Ok I'm s off and root using revolution when it was a beta. I keep trying to update tmobiles new update and I keep getting update aborted. Please help. I get the triangle with a ! And a blue android.

I think he means, you need recovery as it was PRE-ClockworkMod. Any threads?
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Then that's a different matter altogether. Will need to figure that out. Does that involve unrooting the device after recovery?

I'm going to do this tomorrow to update. It should work.
So did it work
- Backup everything using CWM and Titanium Backup.
- Install the RUU to get back to Stock Recovery. (You'll loose all settings/apps/SMS/etc..)
- Install your OTA update.
- Restore everything using Titanium Backup.
This should work for any of you who has CWM Recovery. If you already have Stock Recovery, then you're ready to go. You don't need to flash a new rom by the RUU.
It's not the root that is causing the problem, it is the CWM Recovery.
Keep in mind, flashing a RUU may brick your device, I take no responsibilities of any damage that may be caused to your device
I just discovered a new method, tried it and it worked.
Take a look at this.

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
Hi, this morning i tried to update my Sensation 4G to ICS via OTA, i downloaded the update an everyting was fine, however when the phone reboots in order to install the update i get a screen with a triange and exclamation mark with the android logo. Does anybody know Why this is happening?
Thanks in Advanced

is your device rooted?

Yes it is,

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.
