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
Look HERE

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.
hey,
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
It installed successfully but im still stuck with bootloop !!! Is it because of the firmware ?? But when i try updating my firmware it says "parsing PG581IMG.zip" !!! Plz can u help me out ???

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.

I downloaded and installed a stock ROM from mike1986 thread !! Before installing i cleared the cache data/factory reset and delvik's cache from recovery 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

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'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

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.

You might go into bootloops but dont panic...installing ROM will take care of that..
It has worked for me...100% works...TRy...
Go ahead and ROOT...life becomes Awesome after that...

you have kernel mismatch, when u unlock with htc dev method you have to flash yourself a kernel u can see that post here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619656
-that is if you want the custom roms you flash to work and not to s-off your device.
btw did u try try the JuopunutBear to s-off?
Flash other kernel
Yeah, when flashing a ROM with S-ON you need to flash the kernel (boot.img) first, via fastboot. using 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
ive had luck installing custom roms that have the AROMA installer equipped on hboot 1.58 S-On but with non aroma i havent had any luck whatsoever i found a few i just searched htc evo 3d roms aroma installer and i got a few decent hits and one rom i particularly like using the search method. there are a bunch of methods i saw but it didnt do anything for me if it even did what it was supposed to do.
good luck!

Hey i bricked my htc sensation xe while trying to get the Android 4.1.2 Viper S 3.1.2 Jelly Bean Custom Firmware rom. I followed this tutorial:
cannot post links because im new here sorry, its the first link when you google "vipers 3.1.2 sensation techbeasts"
this is my current situation: when i try to start the phone the green htc sign appears for a few seconds, then the screen turns black and nothing happens. i can access bootloader, fastboot (it connects to my computer) and i can access the recovery menu. when i open bootloader
this information appears:

Mar 2 2012,18:14:34
this is how it happened: around 10 hours ago i had a completely stock htc sensation xe with Android 4.0.3. Because of perfomance issues
and my need to costumize stuff (years ago i had a jailbreaked ipod touch 2g and it was fun costumizing skins and adding tweaks ) i decided to
install a custom rom on my sensation xe, and i found the vipers 3.1.2 rom online. so i found a simple looking tutorial (link in introduction) to install it. i oversaw the little note that i need a ROOTED sensation and just started following the tutorial. after running into small problems i found out that i have to unlock the phone, which i did successfully with the htcdev website. after flashing the boot.img i was told to reboot the phone and it blackscreens after the htc logo ( it doesnt even show the quietly brilliant part ). its still not rooted by the way.
now i need help from someone, i am completely inexperienced with androids and would like to get my phone back to running, preferably with vipers 3.1.2 .my ideas are to either get it back to stock rom and try the tutorial again (this time with rooting it first ) or maybe to just root it now somehow and to carry on with the vipers rom installation. but i dont want to just go ahead and try it out and maybe hardbrick it. can somebody please help me out and tell me what to do?
You need to install custom recovery and flash a rom of your choice through recovery. The part with flashing boot.img comes after flashing the rom if your phone is not s-off.
Try finding some tutorials for all of the things I told you.

your bootloader is already unlocked..then like what nlooooo said in the previous post.. you just need to installing custom recovery choices what ever you want from 4EXT, TWRP or CWM then after that you can installing any custom rom that you want..off course you need always to flashing that rom boot.img too after every installing new custom rom..
hope this can help..

Hi, I'm a new member here. Today I rooted my HTC sensation Z710e in hopes of installing Kitkat 4.4.2 on it. I unlocked boot loader through HTC Dev website, installed CWM and rooted it successfully. I never S-Offed my device. It's on/was official 4.0.3 ROM. It's still S-On. I tried flashing kitkat rom through CWM. It said it's successful but when I restarted my device it just won't pass the green HTC logo. Have I somehow bricked my device ? Is there anyway of making it boot normally. I still want to install kitkat rom though.
PS: It was my first rooting attempt
Help appreciated ?
