i know tha he link them, but up there is obout 44 diferent one, so wich one should i get ??
I try to instal 3 diferent ruu and all of them show me id error, how to find correct one ??
For some roms you need a special firmware. And in order to get these you need to have supercid. In this forum are alot of howtos to reach that. There is also a flashable firmware where you do not have to be supercid. Good luck
any sample?
Which Rom did you try to flash? Did you use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 ???
Ok, reading helps alot. So you say you are not s-off and not rooted... there it is, our problem. You have to get s-off and root your phone, otherwise it won't work. Just use that guide! Good luck

I'm trying to root my htc sensation using revolutionary method.. but while it attempts to root, it gives an error "failed to get root"
hboot version is - 1.18.0000
please reply asap..
If you followed this guide try flashing "su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip" again. On my Sensation it worked after 3rd try ;-)

that guide you gave me the link for... tells me the same thing to do which i was already doing.. In step 1, when I use revolutionary, it gives me that error... I can't get past it... I have rooted my desire many times using this method and it worked flawlessly. but i don't know why it isn't working with sensation ?
any idea ?
What is the error you're getting?

"Failed to get root"
I read somewhere that it happens because of applying the OTA update.. So my question is, If I flash RUU over it and then try again, would it work ?
Follow the steps in the guide you were following s-off with Revolutionary, it make take 5 tries and say it fails but eventually it works, keep looking to see when it says s off. Then put the CWM Recovery zip on your sd card and Super user zip from the guide. Then flash the PMG58IMG zip which is your Recovery, delete the PMG58IMG file from your sd card, then boot into recovery and choose the option for flashing a zip from sd card, navigate to the SU signed zip, it will fail 3 or more times just keep installing it and your done.
Is HTC sync installed/uninstalled? Have you uninstalled any other apps that may attempt to sync when you attach the device?

Yes it is because of the OTA update, u need to downgrade ur firmware in order to get root on ur sensation. I m also using HTC sensation(India) with the same H.Boot version and cant root as getting the same error "failed to root" untill u downgrade ur firmware.

If you have previously applied an OTA update or unlocked bootloader with htc.dev, then look at this guide for help:

Hi,
Sorry,revolutionary does not work with 1.27 yet.
Apparently ,it will come soon,but there is no eta.
There is a possibility to root,but it involves using HTC DEV

Hi,
What ROM did you try to install?
I recommend you try to install ARHD 6.6.2
It will install root and 4EXT recovery.

I installed a stock ROM successfully , but I'm still stuck with bootloop !!! can u please tell me what to do ??

Hi,
There has been a whole spate of these problems recently.
From what I can make out,the only way you can proceed is to use HTC DEV.
This is not a good thing ,because they then know what you have done,and you stand little chance if you attempt to return the phone under warranty.
So, the decision is yours.
Wait until someone figures a way to s-off 1.27
Or go with the HTC DEV method,which will then allow you to root and install custom ROMS that have a 3.32 base.
Thanks a lot buddy !!!
I tried HTC dev but still stuck with the problem !! will have to wait for revolutionary to s off 1.27 !!

if you have unlocked bootloader by HTCdev then you can still install custom roms but only which support stock kernel like ARHD
you can just flash ARHD with stock kernel option(this is important ) through recovery... provided that you have updated firmware (3.32....)
I tried installing stock rom from here

Hi,
You need to flash the boot.img (which you can get by unzipping it from the rom .zip) via fastboot.
Install the rom first as usual on 4EXT, and then:
- Extract the boot.img and place it on your adb PC folder
- Start Sensation on fastboot usb
- Flash the boot.img: fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Reboot
If the rom you want to install has choices for custom kernels, you have to extract the .img which match the kernel you choose at rom install and flash it via fastboot as described.
If you don't do this way you will be stuck at bootloops.
The explanation of this is, as you have unlocked via HTCdev method and still s-on, the kernel are not flashed in boot partition when you install the rom from recovery, but you can flash it by using adb/fastboot from the command line.

you got stock recovery so you need to have custom recovery
4EXT is good one so
flash the recovery / install recovery from this thread
recovery here
its a apk...so just download it to your sd card and install it....when installing it'll ask you whether you are s-on or not...say "yes" -> this is pretty important
after that you can download the rom and install it...as per the steps provided by "htcsensationz710e"
if you got doubts..let me know
Thank you, I will try it and let you know what happens.
i got error 152 when i update the rom of my htc desire a8181.. my hboot is 1.02 Radio-4.06.00.02.2.....
what is the best rom for my htc?
This could be u installed a rom not compatible with your hboot. I'm not familiar with that exact error number but usually when u can't boot the easiest way to fix this would be to download stock rom from HTC (requires stock hboot). Boot your phone into fast boot and install it. It will detect your phone on your computer. This will required u to reroot to get root back. Simple enough using unrevoked3. I've had to do this before.
Or... u could try reinstalling hboot from alpharev, boot into clockwork mod and then install another rom. Preferably use a rom that u know works for the boot u chose.
So how'd u go mate? Need any help?
Hello!!!
I have one problem with my sensation bootloader unlock. I took Unlock_code with HTCdev site and I start the unlock screen appears, yes or no, and when I click yes and power button phone freezes. Also when I run reboot bootloader also freeze. He prayed to for help. Pictures are attached.
P.S. Also when you are fallen cell phone shows HTC logo and go to end reboot reboot and when I go into recovery then get an error shown in Fig.
Sorry for my bad english.
If you want to unlock your bootloader to flash custom ROMs or a custom recovery, then I would suggest you to s-off your sensation since the HTC Dev unlock won't work.
The s-off method by ganeshp is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
Read the thread carefully, and if you need the windows version for juonuput s-off then shoot me a PM and ask me for it. Recovery.io only supports Linux (as for now)
You can also install Ubuntu on your PC to use the Linux version.

I am not sure "usb debugging" is checked becouse not enter to normal start up phone, phone get to htc logo and reboot, several time then go to scree with red triangle.

Got the Htc Sync installed and the two versions of the SDK.
Fastboot recognises the phone but the adb does not.

Hi,
Follow rzr86's link and install 4 EXT recovery.
This has the option called "Smartflash" which you need to flash ROMS/kernels.
Cant do 4EXT becouse when I press recover it will jump to htc screen and freeze..
got the cid code and it said HTC_001.. the only RUU finishing with 001 was O2_UK_O2. Could it be the one?
Got this phone from UK..
So I found the rigth RUU with image 3.33.401.153.
But in the middle I get error 155.
?
could this be any harder??
Ou my god I did it!
Had to lock it again = fastboot oem lock , or what it was and then I ran the RUU and it worked!!
Tanks anyway everybody..
