[Q] Problem gaining s-off for Sensation

I've recently bought a new Sensation. I wnat to S-off in order to root it. My problem is that at revolutionairy.io I can't seem to find the possibility to choose my hboot version, 1.27.0000 how can I S-off then...? is this due to the fact that I updated to ICS with everything that followes.?

Hi,
Yes,when updating OTA seems to put 1.27.0000 on your phone.
There is currently no revolutionary support for 1.27.0000
But we are told that it may be arriving soon.

Yes, that is the reason. You should have s-off before upgrading to ICS. What you can do is to extract a ROM from a GB RUU rename it PG58IMG and flash it from bootloader.
It will bring you back to GB and can use revolutionary to s-off, then upgrdade again to ICS.

Thanks alot guys. Think I will wait for that update from the Revolutionairy team though.

Next thing
Just to ask again. Is the only way to S-off and thereby root to do as kualmente posted?

Actually Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27 then you cannot use it to s-off.
As said before you can try flashing from bootloader a GB Rom in PG58IMG form and see if it works. If it works (not sure 100% because you are s-on) you will be back to GB with Hboot 1.18 which is supported by revolutionary to s-off.
Try and let me know download. Simply rename it PG58IMG and put on the root of your sd card. Then reboot bootloader while pressing volume down + power button. Follow instruction on screen.
When completed and rebooted, delete PG58IMG from sd card.
Hope it works.

Isn't there risk of bricking phone doing this?

It won't work anyway. You are s-on and cannot downgrade. You have to wait until hboot 1.27 is supported by revolutionary or the rumored (but completely unproven) new s-off method with the ridiculous name.

Thanks. :-( sad that I have to wait though. Were on ARHD on my old Sensation. And really hates the battery time on my new stock one.

Did you try what I suggested in my post #6?
There is no risk to brick. Worst scenario it will fail to update because you are s-on.
Best scenario you will downgrade to GB and proceed to s-off with revolutionary.
At the end this is an official RUU released by HTC and then it cannot be harmful to give a try

Haven't tried since others said it wouldn't work anyhow. Saw the same stated in other threads, regarding similar problems.
Maybe I should try though since it won't brick.

Is it this you are referring to? [SOFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF internal testing - HTC Sensation (and XE) 1.23, 1.27 HBoots

hi,
I'm a true noob when it comes to root though i am still trying to do it so i can change this bad asian sensation xe stock ICS Rom.
I updated without knowing I should s-off first
now i understand that i have a few options like waiting for a team to release a hack, or through htcDev but i want to try what kualmente wrote
my problem is that the download link he posted is bad
but i have an official RUU that i downloaded before "RUU_Pyramid_LE_hTC_Asia_TW_1.73.709.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_221625_signed.exe"
I want to know if it is possible to downgrade HBOOT with this and use revolutionary method for s-off?

My file is not bad at all. It is just in PG58IMG format so it can be flashed from the bootloader (running a RUU.exe would give error).
You have a sensation Xe and of course you need a different RUU. Try to find out the way to extract "rom.zip" from the RUU, rename it PG58IMG and flash it from bootloader.
As said before, not sure 100% if it works because of s-on
By the way HtcDev doesn't s-off but just unlock bootloader.

First thanks for answering

how do you do that???
And i think i got the right version because before i updated to ICS i updated to 1.77 via OTA and in the zip file it rights the preious version and it is written there "1.73.709.4 CL177617 release-keys" same as the RUU that i have.
UPDATE: got the rom.zip from my RUU and renamed it. now how do i use it? and what will happen to my phone afterwards? will it be like a factory restore?
if so how can i backup my apps or game saves?

Before you start I repeat: I'm not 100% sure it will work because you are S-On.
1) Rename the rom zip in "PG58IMG" and put in the root of sd card (not inside a folder).
2) Untick fastboot from Settings -Power
3) Pull out and reinsert battery.
4) Power on the phone while pressing volume down + power button to reboot into bootloader.
5) when prompted "do you want to update?" say yes by pressing volume up.
6) If it works, will do its things (it takes a while and screen may goes black a couple of times) just dont do anything and wait untill completed.
7) when completed push power button to reboot.
8) Delete PG58IMG from sd card.
Of course you will lose all data and apps unless you make a backup.

just tried and got
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
it didn't even ask me if to update or not
any other idea?
i did what you wrote
is there a different version i could try?

I've tried almost everything on the forums, there is no way you will be able to downgrade your 1.27 bootloader. We vill have to wait for someone to hack this loader, before we will be able to try custom roms.

Hi,
You are right.
1.27.000 is not currently supported.
You have to wait until it is...
No,there is no eta.

So basically I'm stuck with original firmware?
What can I do then, root? scid..? cwm?

Hi,
Yes,you can root and install CWM.
But you can only install ROMS with a 3.32 base(latest ICS)
So,6.6.2 is OK

Ok, thank you.
But I tried to flash the CWM taken from the guide thred putting the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd.
But when I start the bootloader it says wrong image...

Hi,
Try THIS ONE

Still says wrong image....
My cid num, got with adb, is: VODAP102.
Should I insert it in android-info?
Should I super cid the phone before cwm?

Youre gonna have to unlock your bootloader by using htc's official method (google it). Then youll be able to install CWM and whatever else. There are limitations, theres a good guide in the development section about htc official bootloader unlocker. Read that before attempting.

Yes you will have to use the HTC Dev method right now if you want to flash a custom ICS ROM being as those are the only ones you will be able to flash with the Hboot you have. But know this ahead of time the HYC De. Unlock is very different then the Revolutionary unlock. Click the link in my sig to learn mote about the HTc Dev unlock and what it allows you to do. But if I was you I would just wait until Revolutionary supports Hboot 1.27.0000, or someone comes up with a Hboot downgrade for the Sensation cause the HTC Dev method does not fully unlock all portitions except the radio portition like Revolutionary does. Plus it leaves evidence your bootloader has been unlocked so HTC can say your warranty is void. Check out this post to as it gives a little more insight on HTC Dev unlock.

So to root the device I have to CWM it, to CWM it I need to unlock the bootloader?
But, If not rooted, unlocked nor CWModded, can I just install ARHD?
Ok, let's take it the other way round:
My phone is locked, hboot 1.27.0000, S-on, cid VODAP102 and not rooted, but last official stock ics.
Now I want to install last ARHD, what should I do and how??

To flash AHRD you will have to have a unlocked bootloader, either by HTC Dev method or by Revolutionary method. Now as stated by you, malybru, and myself we all know Revolutionary is not compatible with Hboot 1.27.0000 (as of right now), which your device currently has. So this leaves only the HTC Dev method. Now I personally agree with others here on XDA, I would normally stay far away from unlocking via HTC Dev. But seeing as you bought your Sensation new with Hboot 1.27.0000, you really have no other alternative but to wait for Revolutionary to update or for some other means of unlocking becomes available. Also if you do manage to downgrade your Hboot you will have to use HTC Dev to do it.
Now I am in no way saying you should use HTC Dev, nor am I advocating HTC Dev. I am just trying to inform you. What you do with your device is your choice and your choice only. But what ever you do, please post back here with your decision and if applicable any results.
Also if you was wondering why you have to use HT Dev to downgrade Hboot, read this post. Yeah I know it is for GB ROMs but I imagine the same probably holds true for ICS. I mean it is the HTC Dev unlock that allowsyou to downgrade in that senario. But what do I know.

Sure, exploit H.Boot 1.27.0000 for S-Off is revolution, new model of HTC phone is same like HTC_One
****ing S-ON policy HTC because you total locked us
And that is why HTC always following behind Samsung nowadays
I'm waiting XDA revolution

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new nothing about rooting until a few days ago...quickly discovered the fact that Revolution does not support 1.27.
I unlocked with HTC DEV, ran recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img using Fastboot CLI.
After that I backed up my stock Vodafone ICS ROM using CWM then switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3 and followed rest of XDA guides for installing a ROM (really useful guides - Thanks!!)
Within an hour I had gone from stock Vodafone ICS to Virtuous Inquisition-v4.0.1
I'll admit I got hooked up on flashing recovery and was given some guidance by a friendly soul but figured the rest out from this forum..

If you ever want to unlock the bootloader again leave the cid alone. BTW you can just flash the radio from the new ota if you want. There's a thread in development section with radios

your question has been answered multiple times.
SuperCID will allow you to run the 2.20 RUU. The reason we're cautioning you is because once you do that, you will lose the ability to flash new radios at all and you'll have to flash a kernel in fast boot.
Also once you do this update to 2.20 you can't go backward to 1.85 even WITH SuperCID because the update includes a new HBOOT.

ok what will happen if i extract the rom.zip from the ruu and will extract and replace the hboot with earlier one and also the recovery with custom one and will rezip it and rename it as PJ83.img and will copy it to storage and run it in the current boot loader. will relock it before running the process.
Will this work and will i b able to flash the stock rom with same boot loader and custom recovery?
I AM AWARE INSTEAD OF DOING THIS I CAN JUST FLASH THE STOCK ROOTED 2.20 ROM FROM TWRP BUT I JUST WANT TO INCREASE MY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WORK.

[HOWTO] [HTC One SV] Unbrand your phone to get the OTA updates

Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...

Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).

I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.

I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?

If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.

There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?

Is there any chance to make this for the k2cl ( boost mobile ) version?

Boost has no official jb, but i know that there is work for an custom jb rom for boost.

Oh, thank you for the info. Is there any link about this work in progress?

old.splatterhand, you seem to know this and that about One SV. No chance for older RUU, right? I can't seem to find a clean WWE JB OTA update. I just want a clean, stock, not modified ROM from HTC and I thought RUU is the only way to go :crying: Any advices?

This was before moonshine was available. With S-Off i think it should be possible.

I think so.

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:

To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.
reboot to bootloader and flash.

The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.

Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Glad, it worked for you.
Yes, of course, everything is appreciated! You can use this thread, please post ruu name too. You can look at my posts there. Hboot, boot.img, recovery, radio, would be fine.

HERE have other ruu

Wow, that's cool !
Did you use rollon's method and flashed PL80IMG.zip in bootloader mode ?
If yes, which android-info.txt did you use ?
If not, how did you do it ?

Even cooler for you.
Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?
Did you manage to apply it ?
Thanks and congratulations !

Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested

I'd your s-off just run latest ruu. No need to relock bootloader either. After ruu flash recovery via fastboot. And your set

wats the latest RRU for HTC ONE XL .. and link to stock recoveries please

You don't need to update hboot to install custom ROMs.
RUU is recommended for some ROMs, as it seems to help with random reboots on some ROMs. But RUU is not strictly required.
Everything you will likely ask for is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Device will return to stock recovery when you RUU. But now sure why you are asking for that.

You are not getting my main point. There is no reason you need to update hboot. Why do you think you need to?

Agree. Follow advice above to flash latest RUU (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37227608 ), and re-flash recovery . You will get a newer hboot along with that, but other elements of the RUU are more beneficial to some of the newer ROMs - hboot won't give you anything by itself.Make sure you are S-OFF before RUU or you may brick.
