I just upgraded my htc desire hd to a sensation xe z715e and i am trying to root it by turning s-off to off but to no avail. I have followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 but revoltutionary just says waiting for device, i have made sure the phone is on the normal home screen and tried htc sync, charge only, memory card etc but it does not seem to reconise the phone. Please help. Thanks
Did you install the HTC USB drivers?
is that the htc sync ones?

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and sorry if this question was already answered, but I couldn't find the answer to my particular question when I searched for it. I just recently got my Sensation for T-Mobile a couple weeks ago and rooted it but do not have the S-OFF because of the OTA update to 2.3.4 so I used the HTC unlock method. Is there any way I can get the s-off because I am finding it difficult to flash a lot of ROMs I want to try since a lot of them either never load or they just go into an infinite boot loop? Thanks for all your help and advice and I'm hoping I can gain more knowledge thru you guys since this was a big leap for me from a Blackberry 9700.
I recently rooted my HTC Sensation and got the s off following the directions provided here on xda. Then installed Revolution HD. No issues with that either. I just followed the directions there also. Did it not work for u?

No, it didn't work for me. My friend told me that the alpharev method used here on the forums wouldn't work because I downloaded the OTA update to 2.3.4 when I first received it out of the box. He told me that only the htc unlock method would work to root my phone but I wouldn't have S-off. My phone is currently rooted right now with no s-off so certain ROMs won't flash or they will butt I'll hey errors in them.
I find that strange. I'm no expert but my Sensation was running stock Android 2.3.4 before I rooted and it reads that s is off. I went to revolutionary.io/ download for Windows filled in the info for the beta key save the zip file and and launch it then enter the beta key. Then just follow the prompts from there. Did u do that?

Yup, I did exactly that a number of times but it didn't work. That's weird. Maybe someone else on here can help me get full s-off on my sensation. What's your service provider ? Cuz mine is T-Mobile and it came stock 2.3.3 but I did the OTA update and was able to root it but get no s-off
hi,
just to share my experience ... On Asian Starhub
i have updated to 2.3.4 via OTA before i root and s-off, and eventually supercid.
Followed the guide step by step.
The rooting , s-off and supercid process is smooth as butter ( as some dev quoted ).
Flashed Bulletproof 1.4 and now InsertCoin 3.3.0.
Perhaps u can provide more phone details like your current Hboot version and which part of the process you are stuck so that some experienced member can help u out easier.

Same here. 2.3.4 OTA and I am fully rooted with S-Off. Followed the guide step by step. Used Revolutionary.io with no problem. Be sure you enter your beta key in exactly, its case sensative. I'm also on TMOUS.

So it worked ok for the Sensation XE? I'm about to upgrade my phone from the Desire (s-off, root, leedroid hd 3.3.3 data++) and was wondering if the revolutionary route would work (really want the XE!). Had no issues at all with the Desire and would wait to upgrade if there were issues.
Thanks.

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious or if this has already been covered, but did you first go to the HTC dev. site and follow their specific instructions for unlocking the bootloader? If not, do that first, then use Revolutionary to root/s-off, wipe your phone to factory (I always wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, too), then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
Let me know if that helps any.

Very cool. Can't wait to upgrade to this phone. Sensation looked great before, but these latest two (LE screen too big for my tastes) are looking amazing!
Ok guys, thanks for the input. I'll be sure to fill you in if I'm havng any difficulties...I'll try it again today.
I'm also on Tmobile 10 plus years. After following the steps and entering the beta key added the Su zip and it kept s off. You are prop missing something in between. Make sure u are entering the right hboot of your phone otherwise the beta key will be incorrect. Did u set up connection to HTC sync when u did it?

Ok guys, I tried getting s-off again tonite. Mind you my phone is already rooted but has s-on. I have a custom ROM flashed on it currently, I ran the revolutionary app and it suddenly closed on me and i also got an unforseen FC on the home screen of the phone. I flashed back to my nandroid backup of my stock rooted ROM and still the same thing. Suggestions? I saw on another post I should try doing this on a different computer. I tried different methods of connecting the phone via usb with mounting it as a drive, charge only, htc sync but to no avail. I did have htc sync running and it did sync up properly.
I tot we should uninstall HTC sync .... Only leave the HTC drivers alone ....
Maybe someone can advise on this ....

Yes, uninstall HTC sync, leave HTC drivers alone.
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Is there specific drivers I need to install? It doesn't say in the guide.
When u install , then uninstall HTC sync . The HTC sync drivers will be removed but HTC drivers remains . That's the drivers we want to keep. Alternatively , u can just install the HTC drivers. But u got to search for it elsewhere. I think its HTC 3.7.0.01 drivers or something .... ( if I can remember correctly )

A jtag is hardware that is manually soldered onto the motherboard in order to be able to write to the whole emmc without it needing to work. Is used for recovering devices from full hardware bricking. Ie deleted bootloaders ect.

It's still relevant and could work. An old post doesn't mean it's unusable.
May be worth trying if it does revive the phone.

Hi,
If you are s-on, you need to follow THIS THREAD
It basically requires you to install 4 EXT recovery,and use the "Smartflash" option to flash your custom ROMS

I have a HTC Sensation XE, long time ago its been bricked after i unlocked the phone. I sent it to the shop and they stupidly install the z710e software instead. That means I'm using the HTC Sensation software without Beats Audio.
I'm getting frustrated now I'm not able to hear excellent sound anymore. I tried installing the Beats Audio mod people keep posting and NONE of them seems to work. I checked my phone status and it says UNLOCKED but with S-ON.
SO, can anyone help me with this problem. I send it back to the shop and they said to install back to z715e is not possible and they would charge me $300 if i send it to HTC Center. I really hope someone can help me without people ripping off my money again!

OK make sure you have 4Ext Touch Recovery Or CWM,
then Download ViperS rom and follow all the instructions there. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A BACK UPAlways do this when messing with anything in your phone.
After you download it follow the rest of the instructions on that page. thus you will have a new rom. it's rooted,unlocked, overclocked, stable. and has beats audio.
if i helped hit thanks.

What Hboot are you on?
In fact you don't have to S-OFF your device. It just makes things slightly easier to be done. In case you really want to S-OFF your device please follow the perfect guide from auggie2k. It uses the Juopunutbear method. But FYI I am also using an HTC Sensation XE unlocked by HTCDEV and S-ON and I always Smartflash my ROMs and Kernels using 4EXT. You can do this by following a very clear instruction written by Asskicker.

go to the juopunutbear thread and ask there for the windows version
but why your device is stuck?
what have you done and you are in that situation?
maybe you can avoid the way for using the ruu.exe
if i remember well you were the one you asked for ruu file am i right?
