Hi All,
This is my first ever post but im an avid user of XDA - Please forgive me if someone else has said this,
I installed AlphaRevX's s-off patch - Brilliant!!! Excellent! Until I read about the charging issue when the battery is flat, so flashed a custom rom to have a look see and quickly went back to stock ROM (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed)
I just looked at the bootloader and I still have s-off without the Revolution text at the top!!! is this luck?!...
If not, looks like something worth investigating
Mart
Sure you was not s-off before?
If you are sure have a look if it is ship or radio soff or hboto soff
Can you send me some links regaridng to the error ? Get my sensation in a few days back and so i dont read all carefully ;-)
I'm pretty sure flashing the stock rom wouldn't mess with the bootloader at all and make it back to S-ON. Then again I could be wrong.

Yup! Fixed the charging issue!
What is the battery charging issue when battery is "flat"?
And what does a battery-"flat" mean?

But do you have CWM installed? I think CWM is the reason, not Revolutionary S-OFF.
I also think its the clockwork not the bootloader.

I am having issues now with charging a completely dead battery. It doesn't recognize it, the orange charge light comes on for two seconds and then starts flashing orange or turns off completely. Multiple tries to charge doesn't make a difference. My battery is at 3.1v right now, so I am going to try charging it with a different phone and getting the voltage up. What ever you do, don't run your battery completely dead. Worked fine until this.
This is related to the recovery, so becareful what you flash. attached is a ZIPPED version of the orig recovery.

If you would all please read the threads.
This is a known issue.
Clockwork Recovery released by Revolutionary currently does not support charging. So if you turn off your phone with fastboot disabled, you will not b able to charge.
Team Revolutionary are working to fix it, as soon as it is fixed, it will be updated in the S off sticky guide!
Flashing a Stock RUU will wipe everything including clockwork recovery with a stock recovery.
BUT IT WILL NOT REMOVE S-OFF.
so once you s-off and flash back to stock you stay s-off
I can confirm that flashing that stock RUU does remove the "Revolutionary" text at the top, almost as if we have a stock S-OFF device.
Where does one find the ruu ROM?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Now try to go to your recovery after you revert back to shipped ruu and see if it works... mine does not.. it goes to a screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation point when I try to load recovery.
After I flashed the official RUU, I simply placed the recovery zip back on my sd card and updated it the same as before
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I read in another thread that if you flash the eng hboot and then the offical RUU for your carrier that it should return you to stock with s-on.

You need to reinstall clockwork recovery for it to boot into recovery mode again

Ok, im very much a noob when it comes to the sensation, I had a Hero before this and i loved that phone!...
Ok this is what I can see, I can boot into recovery and I get a few limited options (wipe, flash update from zip etc) and I dont have the charging issue...
I can access recovery, i have s-off, i dont have charging issue...
Brilliant!
Just flashing the eng s-off removes it too.

I had that same issue. Make sure you're super CID as well. Then the file should update properly and you can continue with the flashing.

Find your correct ruu, download ruu.exe to your pc, put your phone into fastboot mode, from h boot screen press power, you can then connect your phone to pc and run the ruu.exe as administrator. This will take you back to stock, s off, unrooted phone. Your phone will be restored and working. Then go read all of the stickies thoroughly so you understand what you are doing and what you need to do to successfully flash ROMS without the risk of bricking.

Sorry for being a noob, I don't quite get what you are saying.
Right now I'm pretty scared of bricking my phone, i've decided not to upgrade. Can I just insert the micro-sd card into my computer, then delete the firmware file and be done with it and have my phone back to normal????
Please help!!
Hi I'm learning about everything too. I can say I don't regret rooting and flashing custom Rom for a second! It can be intimidating at first, trust me I know but if you stick with it your reward will be great! Before you do anything read about it. What I did was even print out instructions so I didn't miss a step that helped me out a lot when flashing my first Rom. There's a lot to learn but everyone here is so helpful. Ask questions, read. Soon it becomes clearer and easier to understand. Its up to you if you wish not to proceed, but I just wanted to give you a pep talk and let you know you can do this! But never proceed unless you are comfortable with it. I wish you the best and good luck in what ever you decide to do.

The boot loop problem really scared the **** out of me. I guess i was being a little careless and didn't bother to check the CID of my phone, I thought I have Super CID already, but it is showing i have the incorrect CID.
I really want to experience ICS, even tho I am happy with my phone right now. I'm just so afraid of bricking my phone.
I guess I will do more homework on it before I do it.
Can someone answer my question in the previous post?
Thank you in advance
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?

I believe you do know that.. To turn back SON.. Just one command will do... So it literally means the process is reversible
And I'm afraid that there is no other way to use root/custom rom

I dont actually mean using the exe, i mean pulling the pg file out and putting it on the sd, then it would let me flash back to gingerbread in the bootloader?
I see what you mean about not being able to go backwards. Im stuck now as the dev unlock is no use and I do not have the steady hand to do the wire trick

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

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?

please help!:fingers-crossed:
When it's temp rooted, run the miscversion binary with adb and downgrade using the oldest RUU for your phone
the bootloop is normal.
My phone doesn't even start up , unless I go into the bootloader menu and press recovery . Instead of the recovery opening up , my phone goes into the GUI. I can't seem to flash a new recovery either, due to which I can't flash a new Rom. I have tried all possible solutions but just can't seem to figure it out. Plese help me !

It gets your device in the relocked state and I think thats what most users don't want if they're still on waranty
to be honast I would rather a working phone than one with warrenty especially since its not worth the paper its written on

If he is on gb he doesnt need to unlock, he can straight s-off it and retain his warranty, the guide to do that totally works. Unlocking is totally unnecessary and is just going the extra road to s-off.
Your post is only if someone who has upgraded to official ics and wans to s-off, which is not possible as the person first needs to unlock.

ok so you have tried to follow my guide above which bit are you having trouble with in flashing recovery?make sure you are selecting fastboot in the bootloader and that it should say usb try checking if the phone can be seen by using fastboot devices.
Okay so I have a problem . So i had the 2.20 firmware but rooted and unlocked BL but with s-on. Later on i flash roms until i stayed with urdroid jb rom.
After that i was debating on to try the method of getting s-off with a mac. I asked for helped in facepalm's s-off thread but now no one helped me..that sucks
Now i tryed to get s-off by myself with a mac but it went well until the point where adb does not reconnect at all after the "fastboot flash OneX.zip"
after that it just went to hell as where it did not reboot anymore and then i tried to reflash urdroids rom again with boot.img flashed in fastboot.
after that it stayed in bootloader and hung there forever. It does not even go to recovery mode anymore.Once it went to recovery but the sdcard does not mount at all..
Now i tried a ruu and relocked the BL again and i got a friends window pc to use the ruu..Now it works everything until It says checking HBOOT..thats where it freezes and restarts over and over again.
ANY HELP?? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP AS THIS IS A EMERGENCY AS I HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW MORNING>
