Root HTC Sensation 4.0.3 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hello everybody
I have HTC Sensation with original(no custom rom) ICS 4.0.3 and Hboot 1.27 version, i want to delete stock programs, which i don't need. I tried with revolutionary.io to root but it says that Hboot version is incompatible. So what can i do now? Is there any solution?
By the way, root and S-off is the same thing?

Why don´t you check out the Sensation forum? = http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1109
What i know about the Stock ROM (3.32.401.5) if you have now a S-ON and UNROOTED device you won´t be able to gain root at the moment, sorry dude

root htc 4.0.3
had the same prob. try the htcdev site and click bootloader. Sorry can post link.

Root HTC sense version 3.6
I recently updated new ICS 4.0.3. and I'd tried to root my phone by followed REVOLUTION, or HTCDEV...but NO help; every time fastboot application window opens, it could not find my device. I'd tried fastboot-recover could not recognize anything....HELP please.....or best way just leave it alone?

HELP please.....S-OFF -----> Root HTC Sensation 4.0.3 original and Hboot 1.27 version

yes, you can unlock your bootloader on the htcdev site. i had mine unlocked yesterday. planning to root so that i can install custom rom.

You have to use Juopunutbear S-OFF method on newest Hboots. You can also use 4-EXT Smart flash if you're S-ON. Hope this helps.

There is only one zip for ALL supported phones and hboot versions! I posted the direct link above since you seem to be just a little confused. Here it is again:
http://revolutionary.io/revolutionary-0.4pre3.zip
Yes I understand but I look for someone who has installed the latest update from HTC and then used Revolutionary, so he can make a copy of HBoot 1.18.0000
Here
Download also contains radio and other firmware updates, just extract the hboot and do with it what you will. BTW once you run revolutionary that hboot gets replaced by the hacked revolutionary hboot so getting it from a device that ran revo is pointless!
Thanks but i search the hacked revolutionary hboot not official.
Just run revolutionary then, cause you aren't making sense to me. It seems like you are making this too complicated. I guess I can't help you.

He wants someone who ran the revolutionary exploit on the latest hboot to make a copy for him to flash.
But iirc, the latest revolutionary downgrades you back to 1.17 so trying to get a 1.18 is futile.

whats difference between 1.17 and 1.18?
Actually I've got S-Off and Hboot 1.18 and if someone tells me how to extract it I would do it but I don't know how to do
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
You must have flashed the update after you got s-off which is fine but then you'll be missing out because fastboot cmds are not enabled in the stock hboot.
So there's no option to have hacked HBOOT 1.18.0000/1.18.1111 with revoultionary? Only option is downgrade to 1.17.1111?
You can S-Off it on 2.3.3 and update it OTA. I think it's the only way right now

Is this safe? Any info about differences in 1.18 / 1.17?
Btw my phone is sent to HTC because I did some mistake and bricked it.
When it will be back with OTA 2.3.4 then downgrade to 2.3.3 -> S-OFF -> upgrade 2.3.4? It will be safe?

[Q] removing android revolution hd rom from sensation

So I'm trying to remove the mikes 1986 rom off the sensation I have and replace it with the original stock rom that it came with. I installed the sdk as well as the adb driver. Pulled the serial number up threw the cmd prompt and got the confirmation that it would read threw plugging in the phone to the pc....
The only other thing to do was to use the ruu for tmo usa and the utility would do the rest.. thats where it took a turn for the stagnant... the error code popped up as being 155 which means that I was using the wrong ruu.. FINE. I used another on e (and only other one that was available) and I got the same code error... the phone is an american made model and the tmo usa is the only one that should work for it... from this point im lost on how to get it back to its original state (factory)
When you did the s-off mod, did you also do the SuperCID?
You may have to put the CID back to the original one then the RUU will install. I found this when I went back to stock with my Telstra Sensation.
do you want to unroot also or just a stock rom cuz they are stock rooted roms u can use. just boot into recovery wipe and flash
two tmos roms
There are two t mobile ruus, the one that you should use is the 1.29 version, since it is newer than the 1.27. There are instructions in the android development section for the sensation. They are on the bottom of the first post of the s-off section.
They work. I sent my phone back to HtC for warranty repairs, and the warranty was still good.

Do I need to put back the CID before running the 1.29 RUU? As far as I can remember I didn't do any CID when I s off and root my phone. I'm on tmous usa. Thanks

Hi,
If you didn't change the CID when you did s-off,there is nothing to change on the way back.

Hi,
To check CID, make sure you have adb installed and reboot the phone into FASTBOOT. Then type:
fastboot getvar cid
With your phone connected to your PC and it'll tell you your CID

[Q] HTC Sensation XE Stock RUU

Hi guys i have a sensation XE that has been running ARHD for about three months. A couple of my apps wont download from the market as it says not compatible with our device however they worked before i rooted and changed roms.
Now the ICS official update has been released by HTC i was hoping to return to stock And carry out the official htc ics update to see if that solves the problem with the aps If any knows how i do this please get in touch? i know i need an ruu but cant find one that works.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thnaks in advance.

Those are test RUU not final release 3.32.401.5 (Sensation) and 3.32.401.105 (Sensation XE).
In order to get official OTA need to revert to stock GB rom with stock recovery and original CID. S-Off or S-On doesn't matter.
For the OP: if you are on a custom ICS rom and attempt to run a GB RUU will give you error.
You need to download the right RUU and extract rom.zip out of it. Rename rom.zip to PG58IMG.zip and flash it from bootloader.
If unbranded european, it should be RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1

instead of going back to stock, why don't you go for the latest ARHD? Or even better the Viper with sense 4.
Both roms will offer you a better experience than stock.
Don't flash the RRU if you want to lose your S-off.

now you became clearly.you should have tell us in first place that your are still in 1.18 hboot version
check this one
http://d-h.st/BOR
but first check your fw version .it requires 1.17
also you are lucky because in your hboot version you can easily do S-OFF with revolutionary.io method
it doesn't require wire trick
Yes, listen to the good advice - make an easy S-OFF first! :good:
Find an Android Forum in your own country and search there for a theme on "S-OFF HBOOT-1.18" and read in you own language. It is pretty easy! Trust me, you are quite lucky to have HBOOT-1.18 in these days. This is the easyest way to unlock your phone.:good:

Did you take a nandroid backup of your stock ROM? If yes then restore it.
If you didn't take a nandroid then you need to flash an RUU with a software number greater than yours and matching your cid and mid numbers

You can only flash an RUU if it is the same or higher software version because you are S-ON. 1.35 is lower than 1.77 so you can't flash it.
