Hey i need help with root my HTC Sensation i try wit this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
but im stuck at step 1 and every time i try i get this message "FAILED TO GET ROOT"
try on 2 different PC i unlocked it with HTCDEV but im unable to get root pls help
HTC Sensation (pyramid -1.18.0000, Android 2.3.4 ROM Version 1.50.111.2
Branded in T-Mobile Germany
it isn't rooted even though you've unlocked it with HTCDEV? Someone else could probably help you better on this matter as I've never used that yet... But I thought HTCDEV Basically rooted your phone?
do you have debuggin enabled on phone? make sure you have it on usb charge,
also:
If you are getting root error messages
Some Users acheived root by repeating Step 3 a few times Try this
1. Repeat step 3 at least 3 times or until it installs completely .
2. Download busy box from the market , open it and install the app.
3. Reboot and that should do it , root should be working and WiFi with s off
4. You may get messages telling you it failed to root or installation aborted but reboot and check it with root checker. Many users are told its failed but are actually rooted now
If u want to verify if u have root download the app called root checker it checks for root and for busy box to b installed correctly... if that fails
Try Installing/REINSTALLING SuperUSER and Busybox (or busybox installer) from the market. if it still doesn't work then
Flash a custom Rom as they come Pre-Rooted
Many Tmous users are acheiving root while a few are not. please try all of the above mentioned methods.

yes thats right i want to achieve s-off with everything
is your phone still functioning properly? if it is (gonna sound stupid) try to reboot phone, also make sure you have fastboot drivers installed on computer, also go here for help http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=revolutionary its the revo IRC
also this could casue problems
he program hangs when “waiting for the system to settle.” -OR- the program says “Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted.”
Uninstall any programs that may connect to the phone over USB and automatically sync. Specifically, we have had interference from HTC Sync and Doubletwist in the past; other programs may also cause trouble. Try reinstalling the drivers, if all else fails (or use Linux, which has a 99% less sucky USB stack).

I am having the same problem too. Somme xda guys told in some different posts to use taco root and while bootlooping, use the revolution app. Now what I don't want to experiment or do is brick my first android smartphone. So, help me out guys, s-on, non root, Sen XE.
I will be obliged if someone sees into this and tries the taco root and revolution. Revolution does not work for me because I updated to HTC's latest software optimisation update.
PLEASE HELP!

Hey don't think I am a noob. I may not know programming only because I don't know the language and also because I am an early electronics student. Now, I am s-on with 1.18.0000 I tried Revolutionary but it fails to get the root as I have accidentally updated to the latest HTC software optimisation update. Now, the only way to get out of this **** is to either wait for ICS and then its root which I don't know how much long that is, or downgrade it, which is also like rooting it except I can root my phone after downgrading but I don't know how safe it is. And the third and the best is finding out whether we can root the phone by achieving temp root with taco root and then while its bootlooping, using revolutionary to achieve s-off and then rest of the business. So. I am asking u "Devs" to try and report back to me whether this taco root worked. Thanks

OK sorry for assuming that you're less proficient than you are. Just that there are soooooo many folks that don't understand the basics.
Anyway, sounds like you're in a situation that I can't help with. I'm sure others in XDA can.
Good Luck.
EDIT: quick sanity check, Revolution fails to S-OFF ?

i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how

I'd be surprised if anyone will upload a backup for you. Nandroid takes a complete image of the device and as such is likely to contain all sorts of personal data.
I read your thread hand will try to help. Am i right to think that so far you have:
s-off?
SuperCID?
3.30 firmware?
Non-booting from but access to bootloader and fastboot?
Can you also reach recovery, and what is your hboot version as of now?

It sounds like you've either got the incorrect firmware, or ROM, or it could be just incorrect check sums.
To save on re-writing everything that's been done thousands of times before, I'm going to provide this link to Android Revolution HD.
It describes how to do everything step by step. If you want to start from a clean base, just boot in to recovery, and wipe everything, switch it to USB mode, load your files on, and start flashing from scratch.
Remember, to make a nandroid every time you flash something new if you're unsure about anything. It's time consuming, but saves you a lot of time in the long run. I found out the hard way.
If you have any more problems, feel free to PM me, and I'll reply usually pretty quickly.

Agreed. SuperCID and s-off means you can run any ruu. If it doesn't run, something is stopping it:
Try the stock European ruu. Remove other software from PC that might sync with phone (HTC sync, double twist etc.) Check AV/firewall is not blocking ruu. Run ruu as administrator on your machine.

Ruu is running.
The problem is when it says "Searching for the phone"

hi all,
i got my sensation a while ago and it was running arhd 4.x.x and now it became very laggy...
i wanted to try to install 6.6.4, so its already s-off and hboot is 1.27.1100 and 2gb sd card
so what i did was try to flash the new one normally but it didnt work(with or without beats should i install(sensation eu)) didnt boot just stuck in boot screen.....so i wanted to install new firmware first and it didnt work it said cid incorrect and im confused (i cant boot)
please explain in steps please dont link me(i tried many)
thanks(will thank)
Sure thing buddy.
I'm gonna have to link you to one page though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
That one. You need to go there and download the 3.32 unlocked firmware that matches your carrier/cid. Kohr-Ah put together a great set of firmware images that lets you bypass super-cid. Find the 3.32 unlocked that works for you, download it, and put it on the SD card (not in any folders). For example, if I'm on T-Mobile USA, I'll scroll down to Page Two, T-Mobile, and select the 3.32 firmware.
Then, with the device powered off, volume down + power until you get to the bootloader. When it asks to update, follow through with it. Then, if you have a card reader, use it to delete the 3.32 unlocked firmware file from the SD card. If you don't, use a buddies android phone and a file manager like ES File Explorer. If you can't do that, take the SD card out, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, put the SD card back in before it actually boots into the recovery. Now, you can wipe and install ARHD and it'll boot up just fine.
In the event that that still doesn't work. Make sure you download Superwipe from Mike's ARHD page. Run Superwipe from the recovery, then install the rom, then it'll 99.99% likely boot.
Good luck. Come back with any questions.
I am unsure how to help, the only think i know that may help is that i think the CID stands for cellular ID and it identifies your phone, so maybe you have flashed something that is giving the wrong device ID?

You're not too far off. The CID usually just identifies what carrier you're on, and most carriers have multiple CIDs. It's possible to change, but not accidently. It's a multi step process that's very specific and involves using Fastboot.
Sorry about grammer, posted from phone.
Follow all the steps detialed by member sshede and + one thing is to do super cid if ur phone is not so u'll be able to flash any rom u like even if it was stock or custom 3.6or sense 4 with the right firmware for sure

Hi,
In order to SuperCID go HERE ,and follow STEP 4.
Unfortunately, it seems you will need to super-cid in this case. It's not hard, just follow the steps in the link and follow them exactly.
The process only takes about 5 minutes start to finish.

Mike recommends Superwipe for ARHD, it's in the thread. Not sure what the real benefit is, but since he developed the rom, it might be wise to take him up on it.
Hi all, got my phone back from repair, with the latest orange crap and newest hboot. Ive read that I need to use Juopunutbear, to the s-off, root etc, but I dont like the look of Juopunutbear, (using wire? no chance_. I found the old revolution way much safer and easy to do. How can i still do it like that? Would i need to flash the old orange ruu on the sdcard?

You can't run older ruu when SON
To have custom rom's you need to do SOFF via Juopunutbear way or htc dev unlock
The later might not work for you.. As you might got motherboard replaced..
So only solution is JB via temproot

My repair was only for dust under the screen. so i have the choice of voiding warranty via a piece of wire (visual void), or I virtually tell htc im voiding it? There must be a sneakier way?

You can still flash ROMs while S On.
Its just that I found everything easier with s-off, rooted and supercid

I highly doubt it. If you're uncomfortable, you should stick with stock. It's always wise to not do it if you aren't sure of it..
If I had steady hands it wouldnt be a problem, Im a flashaholic, hate stock lol x
Maybe if you read over it a few times you might get a bit more comfortable with it? What I do is even print out the guide so I don't miss a step.this has really helped me in the past when doing new things, I know it may sound silly but its nice to have a printed guide infront of you incase you get in a pinch. This way all the steps are right there in front of you. This is what I do. Just a suggestion. If you DO decide to give it a shot then maybe this might help. I wish you the best in which ever you decide. I just wanted to share this with you because having a printed guide has really helped me out in the past. Good luck and best wishes to you!

Well I decided to give it a go, downloaded everything printed of instructions etc. Ran the temp root file, then it said now run the bear, but after bear connected to my phone it says not rooted? Now I'm stuck.

not properly rooted ..it seems..
did you got any errors when temp root was run...also make sure htc sync is uninstalled(have the drivers installed too) and the phone should be kept in htc sync mode ...also no hubs or usb 3.0 ports
Thanks for the help, it worked sort of. I completed the s off I said yes to modified hboot, then removed temp root. Then applied root. Problem is the hboot still shows as the normal but with s off and when I try to install recovery it says wrong cid. Nearly there

what nearly there ...you are done lol..
just do a supercid
(first note down the actual cid though..just in case ...fastboot getvar cid ..to know cid)
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
EDIT: ohh the hboot is still locked huh ..
then get the pyramic ics one from here http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
and flash it (instructions in the same link)
also after those instructions..to get back to bootloader..the command is "fastboot reboot-bootloader" without quotes

If your Hboot still says *locked* you cannot flash a recovery.
Please get the correct Hboot from here & follow flashing instructions: http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
You can then proceed to flashing recovery.
Right done that even though the green line never goes to the end my hboot no longer says locked. I put the recovery zip on the sd, booted into bootloader said yes, completed and rebooted, but no custom recovery there?
