So I just got my sensation today from a friend.
It used to be rooted, but he said he unrooted it.
I just checked hboot and it says at the top "unlock" and s-off.
But I do not have root privileges .
A little help trying to figure out what's going on please

So how do u know ur device is not rooted?
If it says s-off, you're pretty much good to go on installing a custom ROM.
Is there a custom recovery installed? That will be the other thing you'd need.
As far as the ROM you're already using, you can install a non rooted ROM on an s-off phone.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Rooted means the ROM is rooted.
S-Off means the phone itself is 'rooted' (I'm mixing up terminology here to make the explanation simple.)
So you have a phone that you can do anything to. If you install a custom ROM the ROM itself will be rooted, meaning it'll come with Superuser and full root access to the ROM files.
If you have a non rooted ROM on the phone now, you will only be able to flash a new ROM via recovery since you won't be able to run an app like ClockworkMod from the non rooted ROM. But that's no big deal. It just means you'll have to download the ROM you want, copy it to the SD card, and install it via the very easy to use recovery module. And I'd bet heavily that the recovery version on your phone is ClockworkMod and not the stock, so it'll be super easy.
If not, there are still yet other options.
Ok that makes sense.
I just double checked and I'm currently not rooted.
I booted into recovery and I'm current using

You are golden.
4ext is a recovery that will let you flash ROMs. With S=Off you can flash most anything you like. If you want to flash an ICS ROM you'll have to upgrade the firmware first (unless it's already been done.)
There are easy to follow guides in the forum on how to do that. Pay attention to the parts about being SuperCID first (It's easy. Just pay attention to it)
For a regular Gingerbread ROM just download the one you want, put it on the SD Card, enter 4ext recovery and flash it. Should take about 2 minutes to set up and about 10 minutes to install the customer ROM after you start the recovery process (10 minutes of the ROM loading. Not 10 minutes of you doing anything. You can go eat a sandwich while the recovery installs the ROM)
If you need any assistance with using 4ext ask for it. (I've never used it so I can't talk you through it. I've only used clockwork) There are plenty of people here who know exactly what the step by step action is to make sure you get it right.

It sounds like you don't have a ROM loaded. The same thing happened to me after I upgraded the firmware. (Which has been done to your phone based on the info you provided) The firmware worked, but it had no ROM to boot into.
A quick re flashing of the ROM through the recovery and everything was back to normal.
With S-On though, I'm not sure you can flash a ROM. can't hurt to try it though. You're not going to make your problem worse.
I'm pretty sure I've already tried that, but I'll have a go again. Thanks for the help.
This was the ruu he used
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192608_signed.exe
But that doesnt match the info on the phone pretty strange but I'll have a go and let you know.

You need to flash the Clockwork recovery. You can do that by creating a PM58IMG.ZIP file with the clockwork recovery image and putting it on the root of your SD Card and running it as an update.
Or the much simpler way (Meaning fewer extra steps) is to use 4ext this one time to install a custom ROM, boot up into you rnow working phone and download ClockworkMod from the market and let ClockworkMod flash itself as the new recovery.
You might have to install Google Apps separately to get access to the market. That's dependent on the ROM. Some have it prepackaged. Some don't.
You won't have to go back and reinstall the ROM or anything after flashing the new recovery through the ClockworkMod app. Everything will work fine even though you installed it using 4ext.
Thanks a lot bro.
Question.
Can I now, just download clockwork from the market and flash it over the recovery I have now?

No. Not if the ROM you have installed isn't rooted.
Clockwork needs Superuser access to do anything. So it wouldn't be able to function without root.
There's nothing wrong with 4ext. It'll work just fine to boot up once even if you strongly prefer Clockwork.
(Also....not to be greedy, but I wouldn't complain if you hit the thanks button! )

On the plus side it's not worthless. It has value on eBay as a bricked device for parts.
Also, there's a thread around here somewhere called something like "Think you bricked your device? Check here first"
Check in there for other solutions. (That thread might be for the MyTouch 4G. I just switched phones so I've got all my threads between the forums mixed up in my head.)

Yeah that's a thing. Poor build quality at the factory.
From the poll that's up around here somewhere your odds of getting a dusty screen are about 50/50.
You can find that same thread in any forum for any HTC device on XDA. It's poor quality control by HTC.
You can tear the phone apart and wipe it down....but that obviously has a lot of other risks. Unless the dust is so bad it physically blocks the light from the screen from showing through....learn to like it.
Well I did the tear down and hinge fix for the g2.
Can you point me to the direction to what you have said.

That'll give you everything you want to know.
Skip the part about obtaining S-Off since you've already go that. Do the rest of the stuff. (Step 2 in that guide is how to get Clockwork recovery the PM58IMG way. It just doesn't call it Clockwork.)
The first thing you need to do though is pick which of the ROMs you want from the 900 threads in the development section.

Hi all,
I got the Android 2.3.4 OTA update, downloaded and installed it. The Sensation switched on right after update. The HTC boot screen came up, the boot-up sound played, AND THE SCREEN WENT BLANK!!
Now, I know the phone is actually ON, because I can call it from another phone and it rings. Also, the regular gesture on the screen to answer a call works too, but still, nothing shows on the display.. it's totally BLANK..
How can i solve this issue?? Thanks in advance
Try flashing a RUU again, there's a thread with all available RUUs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
If you have a Tmobile Sensation then select TMOUS and open it after it downloads, and follow instructions. If it doesn't work, you should put the warranty to use if it has warranty.

Just wanted to note to you that my phone has never been rooted or has never had any custom firmware or any such thing done. This was the only OS update i've done since i bought it. Other than that, only tiny apps and games have been installed.
Also, the phone is not locked to any network.
Does your instruction still apply? if so, please let me know the way ahead. Thanks again

Yes, the RUU is a file that you open and it's like an OTA update but for computer, something like that. I have a Tmobile Sensation and I flashed this one:
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
It's the latest leaked RUU I think, and it's the same version that came with my phone when I got it. I used it to get S-ON too after S-Off and rooting. There's a tutorial for that too here if you want to root. Let me know how it works.

Yea, that's the thing, my friend. I don't want to do anything like rooting/unrooting etc. etc. all i want is my phone's screen to start working.
before the 2.3.4 OTA update, I had Android 2.3.3 on my phone. is there any way to go back to that version of Android?
You not rooting/unrooting. You're just flashing the stock ROM back onto the phone. See it as reformating a PC hard drive for a clean installation. You will lose all data, mind

Haven't tried taking the battery out yet..? First thing I would do
Hi Tirozz,
Yea i've done all of that:
- took off battery, put it in after 30 seconds, switched it on
- did hard reset by going into that special mode by pressing power and volume down
- took off memory card and switched on
still nothing..
MicroWise, there is a way to get back to Android 2.3.3. Download this RUU if you have a Tmobile Sensation:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cb7...00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed.exe
Open it in your Windows PC and follow the instructions, then you'll have the stock Android 2.3.3 back again.

my sensation is not a Tmobile.. infact its not tied to ANY operators.. and doesn't have any operator logos on it either.. it is not network locked.. so which RUU do i use from there?
I don't know how to help you now :/
Check the RUU forum thread and ask if someone has a RUU for your HTC. Or you can try rooting and getting SuperCID so you can flash any RUU file, but it's easier to ask on the forum thread for your compatible RUU file.
Alright, Thanks a lot, dude.

What is the model of your phone and what region are you in? I assume it's an XE or XL, not 4g. I will try to help you.. are you at all familiar with adb? What does it say on the screen of the phone when you press the vol- and power power? Can you take a photo and upload it?

so do i have to go back to stock recovery?? how to do that??? and i have s-off and rooted stock rom thx
A friend of mine asked if I could help him fix his phone. He is a noob and so am I but I have rooted several phones and flashed many ROMS on all sorts of phones with no issues. So I would a least say I am pretty tech savvy. Here is the dilemma- If I hold volume down and power I get a white screen with some options such as hboot, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock & image crc. It also says S-On....which I believe is the problem. He says that he though he downgraded to 2.2 before rooting but couldn't be sure but says he was originally on 2.3.4. I can boot into recovery CWM, mount usb/SD and load roms but no matter what ROM I load it will never get passed the HTC screen. Can someone tell me or at least point me in the right direction as to how I can achieve S-Off? Also I must note that he made no backups prior to his rooting attempt (Ughhhh!). Is there an easy way to get S-Off when the phone seems to be unlocked, rooted & CMW installed? Thanks a bunch my fellow XDA Einsteins.
I didn't think you can have a recovery without s-off for the shift... You could run an RUU and use one of the root guides we have if someone with more experience can't cone up with an idea. Of he did downgrade to 2.2 he should of used the shiftrr.exe to root

No worries, no need. Not offended.
Sounds like something got screwed up during the RUU process of downgrading. I've run into a similar issue when running the ROM Update Utility and it put me back to s-on but It kept my custom recovery. Same thing, no matter what I flashed I couldn't get it to boot. Your best bet is probably going to be run the the RUU. It will depend on which version of bootloader is on the device to which RUU will work. I can't remember the specific number but I believe the 2.2 bootloader is something like 93xxx something or another. If that's the case then you should be able to run the old RUU, putting your back on 2.2 and continue rooting. If your bootloader version is higher (98xxx or something) you'll have to run the newest RUU in order for it to work.
I may be completely wrong here but when all else fails... RUU!

Yes, you know when I water damaged my phone I (stupidly) was trying to RUU it while trying to fix it and the RUU failed and I got to a point where RUU was telling me that a newer version is installed.
Well the way I fixed it was by running RUU 2.3.4. All worked good after that.
Please refer to my post about how to flash misc.img in recovery since you can't get past the htc screen and this will allow you to get downgraded. If I can the post it's around here somewhere and I'll post a link to it.

Hi guys ,just upgraded to a plain Sensation and id like to be rid of the htc crap...im a bit scared as ive had issues before (where i kind of ****ed up things and had to be rescued by fellow xdaers)
its running the stock ics.ive managed to root it and unlock the boot loader, the hboot is the 1.27 one thats a pain......how can i get into the groove in an easy turbo noob way...i have searched but just found everything a little intimidating
you shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader but no matter. follow the guide to s-off for sake of simplicity down the road.
honestly, of all the roms, I've been most happy with virtuous inquisition. It's a bit "aged" at this point, but in terms of stability, it's what's kept me.
It's still sense based, so all features still work, but beyond that, it's more or less an aosp experience.
give it a shot or one of the newer senseless / aosp style roms
ive got cw recovery installed and yes i still have s on.....is it just a case of placing the zip on the sd and installing from recovery?

you can flash roms even with S-ON but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.see here

Try installing rom manager from the market then install cwm9.1.0 from within the app. It is fast, stable and vanilla. I tried it, but I missed all the sense stuff so I reverted back to stock.

actually because you are S-ON the recovery doesn't flash the boot.img by itself(has not the ability to write the boot partition)
that's why i suggested you to flash the 4ext recovery because it has the feature for enable the smartflash
other solution is to follow the extra 1 part of the thread that i provided you in my previous post
if the one fails try the other
best wishes
Oops! Didn't know you had stock recovery. just flash 4ext recovery and the 1 extra step like the post above mentioned. goodluck!

Don't panic. It happened to me too! Use this tool to flash 4ext recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
start your device when you get to the cyanogen boot screen, plug your device to your computer using usb cable, then start up the all in one tool kit, and flash 4ext recovery. Then boot into recovery if doesnt do it for you. In 4ext recovery chose toggle usb and transfer a rom in zip format to your sd (I chose ARHD 6.7.2)then chose disconnect. now choose install zip file from sd and flash the rom you just transferred. reboot device, install rom manager again from the market and install cwm 9.1.0 from within the rom manager. This should fix your problem! this is how I fixed mine Goodluck!

Quite a smart looking paperweight tho... ;]
But seriously folks..
Yeah man I think 3.32 is fine. I'm on 3.33 myself, but I've read numerous posts with users of 3.32 with no problems.
Check the OPs of both threads for full installation instructions - particularly around S-on/S-off as (without looking) I think Bruce's needs off and I think DragunKorr's is OK with on, but I'm sure after rooting and installing 4ext, you should be fine.
One more thing - nothing wrong with being a noob. Everybody was at one time and people who flame others for asking "noobish" questions should **** off and find something better to do.
I'm sure I haven't bricked this phone, because in the process of rooting it, it will eventually say it's S-OFF. But after getting to that point, I can choose Recovery in CWM and when it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, after about 4 seconds, it will fade to black. This has happened to 2 phones I've rooted. Luckily mine worked like a charm, but after the last 2...I'm afraid to root another one. Does this sound like a bad memory card, or maybe it's not a gold card? I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so maybe someone here at XDA has experienced this problem and has an answer.
TIA

I quite don't get that....you can choose recovery in CWM?? what does that is supposed to mean? CWM is a custom recovery. I guess that you are probably refering to hboot. Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Yes, I guess I did mean hboot. In the process of Recovery is when it will fail and there is a ROM loaded for it to recover from on the SD card. Is it possibly because it is looking for the clockworkmod/backup folder and there is not one? I just realized that maybe I can copy a backup from my phone (we have the same exact phone) and place in there if it's possible. I don't have access to the phone now, as it is a friends. Also, if it fades out at the white HTC logo and just gets hung up, there is no way to re-run the Hack Kit is there?
Thanks for the help glevitan, as you've helped me before and I HAVE downloaded your Ultimate Hack Guide and keep it on my phone for reference.

Just a question, are you sure that the phone is S-OFF? or has an unlocked bootlaoder? In either way you can flash recovery again from fastboot and then a custom rom again.
If you need help, I can lend you a hand via teamviewer..just let me know. :good:

ok. Good luck!
Ok glevitan, I believe the problem might be in the PD98IMG.zip that's on the root of my SD card. I noticed when the phone booted into hboot, it would display that the image file was wrong, or something to that effect and then would force an update, which would load the HTC spashscreen and then ultimately fade out. I figured it had a bad PD98IMG.zip file, so I found the original aahk-13012012.zip and extracted the PD98IMG.zip from there and overwrote the one in the root. It didn't work. A different story...I noticed on my Inspire 4G (working correctly, but hboot had same error, even though I could load recovery from there) that it wasn't finding the correct image either. I copied over the PD98IMG.zip onto my phone and now both phones are now fading out on the HTC splashscreen after about 4 seconds. This tells me that it's in the SD card, right? If so, any suggestions? Both phones were rooted using this version of aahk.
Edit: Also, with this new PD98IMG.zip image, hboot will go into the process of parsing for
[1] boot
[2] recovery
[3] radio_v2
Once this is done, I push Power to reboot and that's when I get the failure in the HTC splashscreen.
Edit: I noticed in the PD98IMG.zip there was no md5 file, so I stuck one in there and got my phone working (which is not the one with the original issue started in this thread) and was able to restore a nandroid backup. I put this same SD card in the original damaged phone and it didn't restore like mine did. I still think it's an SD card issue causing the HTC splashscreen fadeout, but don't know where to go know.
Also, my PD98IMG.zip only has a recovery.img and a recovery.md5 file in it. I noticed that the original aahk PD98IMG.zip has those along with a boot.img and a radio.img. Should those be in the PD98IMG.zip? I know this post was edited twice and is very jumbled, so if you can make sense of it and offer solutions, much obliged.

Ok, I quite don't get much...sorry, but that version of the Hack Kit is old, so use the lastest one: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
But again, I don't still get if the phone is S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF there is no need to do all that process. Even, you can flash a RUU without using the PD98IMG way if you suspect that the sdcard is messed.
You can flash it over fastboot.... Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

Edit: And I apologize glevitan, I've searched and found a couple of threads related to the black screen after the HTC logo, so I know you guys have helped and explained this numerous times before. I just couldn't get any of the suggestions from those threads to work out. Thanks for any help you may input.

I was having a similar problem, I'm not too sure if it relates to what your experiencing. But I was trying to gain s-off my hboot was in fact unlocked but was still s-on. I was reading around and flashed a few boot.img with fast boot. I had that problem where htc screen would show then fade to black, and then stay black.
What I did was (I had installed recovery pretty early on) I did a factory reset in recovery then went to restore. Prior to this thank god I had transfered my nandroids to the pc b4 flashing new boot.img(s) then flashed the boot.img from the nandroid I just restored. All was well back into stock. I then found the insecure boot.img to use for aahk, flashed that in fastboot and relocked hboot. Reran aahk in linux. Got me to S-OFF with unlock.
If you need a fairly stock nandroid I can provide one.

glevitan, you're awesome. I restored the phone by running the RUU executable and reran the aahk and am now fully rooted. Both times I got the black screen on this phone previously was on the same PC, but this time I ran aahk on my PC and it ran correctly. I sincerely appreciate your help in helping me to achieve root for this phone. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.
Can you or anyone do step by step on how too root the HTC inspire? From step one an not for get anything even if its an hour long video? Anything would help. I'm new with the HTC inspire. It seems that I can't root it at all. I'm not saying I can't root phones I rooted a lot.

What have you tried? AAHK is the only real option. There is a very clear guide over at the Ace Think Tank post #7, linked in my signature.

Besides what bananagranola said, you need to know that video tutorials suck. They skip important details and that, will probably get you stuck. Read the guide adviced, and the hack kit site (got the link in the Ace Think Tank Thread)...that is all you need to know.
I have tryed the Aahk. My problem is when it ask me to downgrade ruu an all that. All my phone dose when I run the aahk I push 1 an then it ask too downgrade so i put y then something about the ruu an I put y then it says pushing the 9 something file. ( sorry I'm not home on my computer ) so I'm not 100% on what it is saying. But then my phone boots to Hboot dose its thank. Then says bad image. I have done this a lot of times with the aahk.

Try using a different sdcard. If the RUU image is not being read, that is probably due to a bad sdcard. It is corrupted to work as a goldcard but fine for usual day use.
I have. I have had 4 of them now. Two 2 gigs one 36gig an one 8 gig. New I paid for them an a new USB cored fast data cable for the phone.

2gb is enough...don't use another cable but the oem one that came with the phone. Anyway, that seems to be a sdcard issue. Try with another one and then report back.

Ok dude here's what you are going to do.
1. go into the bootloader.
2. read the hboot number if it is 1.14 or higher then get cleanrom 5.1 from scottsroms.com make sure u get the one for the htc one x and it is in archived builds GET 5.1 only 5.1 otherwise still for any other number follow the link, this is just to help you in future installations.
3. download cleanrom 5.1
4. get into twrp while in fastboot/bootloader by hitting bootloader with power key and volume down to recovery which you will click with the power button.
5. plug phone into computer and tap the big 5 sided rectangle like shape that says mount and in there hit mount usb storage or something like that.
6. drag cleanrom 5.1 to the downloads folder or where ever you keep your roms.
7. x out of the file explorer than hit unmount in the phone. Unplug the phone.
8. hit the back arrow in TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Hit factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If you want to be safe wipe system.(do this for all future rom installations.)
9. go to the install after getting out of the wipe menu.
10. tap clean rom and install the settings you want (make sure you hit the i never took the 2.20 firmware update/unsure option).
11. reboot system
12. wait up to 10 minutes if it doesn't work ruu use instructions on onexroot.com under unroot and then go to unbrick at&t one x
13. for future rom installations if you have hboot 1.14 or higher extract the boot.img and either booting in the bootloader and going to the fastboot menu and putting in the command fastboot flash boot boot.img or as do what i do which is to use the TN win installer to flash them for me in the bootloader.
IF YOU RUUED THEN YOU WILL NEED TO DO STEP 13 To INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS
Say something if this fails or you don't understand.
sorry there's no links xda doesn't let me post links.

This is the HTC ONE XL EVITA. You're gonna brick someone with instructions like this. If this guy who clearly has no idea what he's doing flashes an htc one x rom, he's got an irrecoverable brick.
Since you are a first timer, the best way for these guys to help you is to give them as much information as you can. Don't go flashing anything until you and they understand what it is going on.

Good then since you're so capable, you know that when it comes to the one xl and stituations like this, it's best to get all the details hboot, SiperCID, S-ON or S-OFF and what the person did when the brick occured. To just go off spouting unspecific, unteaching instructions like that you're causing more bad than good. Thank you though.
Can I get an AMEN!

To just go off spouting unspecific, unteaching instructions like that you're causing more bad than good. Thank you though.

I completely agree which is why i gave instructions geared towards someone like this guy who won't give us any thing. The instructions are designed for any hboot and SuperCID. Which btw this guy seriously needs to give us more info.

dude back and forths aside, you're going to need to give as much info. What hboot are you on. what twrp do you have. what did you try to install. what rom are you on. what did you do to install zip (what did you wipe). finally are you s-off (if you don't know what it is you're probably s-on)

give us a blow by blow what happens when you boot. Example: Phone vibrates and goes to white htc screen with read text, then goes to the boot animation for cyanogenmod and doesn't stop the animation unless it is forcebly shut down

This is the HTC ONE XL EVITA. You're gonna brick someone with instructions like this. If this guy who clearly has no idea what he's doing flashes an htc one x rom, he's got an irrecoverable brick.

I just like to add, before I knew the difference between Evita and endeavor, I flashed cm 10 with the endeavor, and had no problems booting. But then I got decided to switch, and actually found out what the code names represent.

Help
Bootloader says **tampered** and **unlocked**, and I have hboot version 1.14.002. Flashed TWRP. Wiped, so now I don't have my stock OS anymore. Tried to flash Cleanrom 6.5 and selected options, but the install always ends in a second and fails. The reboot screen warns me that I don't have an OS installed and when I do, it tells me that it's a developer build/etc. Help, it's my first time doing this.
Edit: Never mind, used an older version of TWRP, worked.
