[Q] Need Help - Xe (ICS) bootloader says S-OFF but superuser says not rooted - HTC Sensation

Hi
I have a sensation xe. I rooted it before upgrading it to ICS (before is GB).
I upgraded it by flashing official ics rom due to I previously installed clockworkmod recovery which stop me from normal way of upgrade.
After upgrade everything's fine, but superuser and clockworkmod gone.
When I install superuser it says binary not found. but I checked my bootloader it says S-OFF.
What should I do?
Android - 4.0.3
Software number - 3.32.401.105
Hboot - 1.27.0000
Radio - 11.22.3504.07_M

Nevermind.

I don't know what is that, I think not.
I flashed it using RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe

If you find it locked you have to unlock first with htcdev.com but many user won't recommend it but at this time I think it the only way to unlock the bootloader, install the custom recovery(CWM) and install the superuser(root the phone).
You can get the details on this post.

But I already have it rooted before upgrade. I thought it will remain rooted? coz my bootloader shown S-OFF

OK, you have S-off. I guess you should be able to flash Revolutionary firmware from Boot loader, then use fast boot to flash the recovery, then flash root from the recovery you installed earlier and voila.

Or, flash a firmware that contains recovery and then flash super user (just make sure its the correct firmware.) (I don't remember exactly where I seen this firmware, but I'm sure I have. Maybe here or somewhere else)

If you are S-Off you can root it again (because you flashed a RUU you lost root)
1) need to have a custom recovery (CWN or 4EXT). There is a nice tool to instal 4ext recovery HERE or download this PG58IMG. Just put it in your sd card and flash it from bootloader.
2) Then Download and install from custom recovery the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Done!

They don't recommend it because it doesn't unlock the bootloader completely. Read more and please don't recommend it, it's incorrect. His bootloader is already unlocked, hence he is s off. As already mentioned he needs to root and install Recovery.

Correct. By revolutionary you install CWM and then you can switch to 4ext. same as I did but in his case he doesn't need to use Revolutionary because already unlocked and s-Offed (and also because Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27). He needs just to install a custom recovery by a PG58IMG and superuser to get root again.

If the. Hboot is the issue why not just get an older one, put it in a zip called pjwhatever.zip (not sure I own a wildfire) and then just put into bootloader and flash it. He has s-off like.??

Hboot has nothing to do. The OP wants just root the phone again after upgrade to ICS.
Also, I think we are hitchhiking the thread with OT postings.

ahh, sorry i misread. i thought the ruu had upgraded the hboot to the htcdev hboot that has the locked unlocked thing. my bad.

Thank you so much for teaching me. I have custom recovery and superuser now in my phone.
but I have 1 more question, what is the ***LOCKED*** means in my bootloader? Is that simlock?

So... I have a S-on Desire S unlocked with HTCdev, rooted with superoneclick but I can not get the 4EXT recovery working. App is installed and all my partitions are ext4.
I get the red triangle when I go in to Recovery but I even haven't flashed anything. Just trying to make a backup first.
Is there anything else I have to do to get the recovery working ?

[Q] Some Questions about rooting Desire S

Hi,
I´ve been reading through the forum for the past days, but still a lil bit confused about the procedure. Some threads say no you must do it like this, the other thread says under no circumstances do it like the way in the other thread....
Desire S:
***Locked***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
Radio 3822.10.08.04_M
Android 2.3.5
SoftwareNr. 2.10.401.8​
As far as i understand, first i have to use HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. Then downgradehboot to 98
Next get s-off via Revolutionary and Use SuperOneClick to root?
Final follow instructions to install a custom rom klick ?
Forget something? Or is their any easier way?
Sry for my bad english .
Thanks in advance.
I don't know your hboot, for me it was not necessary to downgrade.
But so far you're plan sounds good just backup everything before flashing a new ROM

If I root my DS, using this guide, i'll be able to install ALL custom ROMs?
I unlocked Bootloader via HTCDev, flashed 4EXTRecovery, flashed SuperUser via recovery.When i tried to flash Virtuous Unity, device stucked at HTC logo.
If I use that guide, will i be able to flash custom ROM?
@3st
You don't need to use HTCdev to downgrade.
By using HTCdev you are possible screwing your warranty.
So to simplify,
Option 1) Use HTCdev to unlock, then install custom recovery, then either root or install a rom using recovery.
Option 2) Downgrade, then use Revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery, then as above either root or flash rom with recovery.

when you unlock via htcdev you need to flash the boot.img separately when flashing a custom ROM.

There are couple threads in the General section explaing how to downgrade hboot without unlocking at htcdev.com
You should try them first.

Yep
But you need to flash the boot.img of the new ROM, not the old one you already flashed before. (sounds logically, but some ppl. seem to be not able to think logically...)

[Q] Bricked HTC Sensation 4G ?!

Today , i successfully rooted my HTC Sensation 4G, everything was working totally fine, but then I wanted to install and custom ROM , called Super Villain Shensation.
I followed everything like the instructions told me to, but it says that the installation was aborted. and when i want to reboot my phone, it just stays on the white HTC logo screen, and doesnt do anything. I am able to get to the bootloader, but when i try recovery the same thing happens. what do i do !?
First of all, it is not bricked. Moving forward you need to re-download the ROM to make sure it is not a corrupted download, then try to flash again.
In order it would be:
-re download ROM again (I would personally suggest a ginger bread ROM that doesn't require you to flash firmware and such)
-download super wipe
-put them both in your sd card, somewhere where you could find the files
-go into your recovery and flash the super wipe zip (found in the Android Revolution thread)
-flash ROM
-let it boot (it will take about 5 minutes)
-done

Go to your bootloader like previous poster said and paste this file in the root of your sd card.

What is you hboot if it's 1.18 or below and since you're r now s-on you need to run an ruu for ics that is closes to you stock rom. To upgrade your firmware to an ics compatible firmware. If it's 1.2x then you can htc-dev unlock and if you want s-off use jb then flash 4ext recovery even if your just htc-dev unlock. If your just htc-dev unlocked in 4ext enable smart flash.

Ok I am going to ask the obvious questions here.
1. Is the file name PG58IMG.zip? If not the stock recovery will not flash it.
2. Do you have the file on the root of your SD card? If not the stock recovery will not detect the file. If you do not know what the root of your SD card is, it imeans it is not in a folder.
3. Have you tried re downloading just in Case it is a bad down load?
4.have you checked your SD card with a reader to make sure it is a readable card?
5. Are you positive your bootloader is unlocked?
Edit:
6. Have you tried flashing it via ADB fastboot commands?

Ok if the bootloader is unlocked your Hboot would read either of the following.
S-offed via Revolutionary will say Revolutionary Shipped S-off or something like that, you will know if it is there.

Yes if you flash the official OTA file it will remove root. You only have to super CID if you want to be able to flash official ROMs from other regions besides your own. But saying that it is still a good idea to Super CID as some Custom ROMs may require it depending on what the ROM base is.

The only error is that the file doesn't exist for S On & *locked* users, although I can't confirm if this because this is true I've only heard about this from a couple of users.
The rest of the tool is bug free.
If you want to install a custom ROM then you will have to do either one of the following:
Use HTC Dev Unlock & Stay S On.
S Off without voiding your warranty. and then continue with this tutorial from step 1
Now, for the second method, you can also use my tool.
And frankly, because you are starting from scratch, the tool will make everything easy. Here's the options that you need to select:
First, S Off.
then Install 4EXT Recovery
then Install Firmware
then download your ROM & Install by selecting install ZIP from recovery.

I was in your state as well. I was trying to see wait whether Revolutionary.io would produce a newer version for the HBOOT 1.27. But I got tired of waiting and just went on to use other methods. In the beginning, it's a bit confusing. It took me a while to understand everything. But once you follow the steps, everything should become more simple.
A problem that I encounter was install 4EXT Recovery. I couldn't install it at first. I just install Clockwork's Recovery and flashed the ROM I picked. Then I went ahead and downloaded the apk for the 4EXT Recovery and install it from there. It was troublesome in the beginning, but it was well worth it.
My suggestion is that you should do HTC Dev Unlock first. Then S-OFF.

The tool has been updated.
Use the normal method first. (The new method is now the normal method)
