my friend asked me that he was to update his incredible s
so i downloaded the file for him from the htc download center
how to apply this update file?
The file named vivo-2.6.35-gb-mr-f445c95e.tar.gz
I downloaded from
http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Are you sure it's an update, or is it just kernel sources?
Yep, I just extracted and it's kernel sources. I don't think you're going to do anything with that...
I m not sure with that. What do think whether is it kernel source or update and what is the difference?

It's kernel source code. You would use that as a base to compile a custom kernel for the device. Trust me, it's not what you're looking for!
I want to downgrade my software. Is there any way to do that?
Because Wight now I m on hboot 1.27 locked bootloader s-on. I can't use the dev method to unlock my bootloader. Do u know a way to unlock it?

Nice topic switch btw...
Thank you.
Can this work if I have unlocked bootloader?
I would be happy if u link me to a guide to install it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
That is the guide to s-off your bootloader... You cannot downgrade unless you do that first.
Can it unlock my bootliader?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Forget about unlocking your bootloader. This will give you s-off. Once you're s-off you can flash the GB firmware and go with either a stock or custom rom/recovery...
If you unlock your bootloader you won't have access to flash radios or kernels and cannot downgrade.
Go HERE to get GB firmware, stock GB roms, and instructions for downgrading. It's after step 5...
Thank you very much. I was having a wrong understanding that I have to unlock my bootloader to soff and install any custom Rom. Since u said we only need to soff, then I will give a try on the soff tool u linked me too.
Thank you.

I'm sorry to say that.. But for jb soff you do require unlocked bootloader.. also you need to be rooted which also can be done only when you have unlocked bootloader.
As for the htcdev unlock failing at flashing token with error "token check failed".. almost every person. Who has been trying this for the past few weeks has got the same error.. This might be because of either htcdev unlock is not generating the unlock_code.bin properly.. Or the ppl with recent phones /recently repaired phones have some cosemitic change in the motherboard which is causing this failure

Why don't you try it out?
dont want to brick
Assuming you have HBOOT 1.18.0000 (which you should) then you can just use Revolutionary to S-OFF as you would the normal Sensation
i gues it would work

Got my Sensation XE today.
Would be interesting if we can flash normal Sensation Roms.
Kernel an Hboot are the same?
Kernel is ROM dependent, I'd imagine it would work fine but I've no idea how the clock speed would be affected as the stock XE ROM runs at 1.2GHz on the original Sensation as opposed to 1.5GHz
Nandroid and give a ROM a go. If it doesn't work, restore your nandroid/flash the RUU
can one of you who have the xe get us the kernel so we can find out how its running stock at 1.5?
the stock kernel isn't released yet.
Is it possible to extract the kernel from stock xe ruu?
cant someone extract it from their sensation xe that they just bought?

How can I extract the Kernel from my XE?
I have RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830_signed
Rom on my XE
(Bootloader Unlocked and S-OFF, but no Root)
Does anyone know which tool to be used to turn OFF the security on the Sensation XE? I have searched the web and found a revolutionary tool for HTC sensation and wanted to know if this works with the XE. I'm still searching to find out how to root my sensation XE and what is the best ROM to be installed.

The procedure is the same for Sensation XE as the Sensation because they are the same phone, same hardware. beats is only an equalizer preset so they are still same phone.
To get S-OFF just use revolutionary

h-boot?
if your h boot is 1.27 so just like me and i don't know how to set s-off
Looking for Revolutionary update
So you can try - Use Wire -Trick to obtain S-OFF - Very fun
Ok, i habe hboot 1.23 and so i cannot flash any new firmware files via hboot or cmd prompt. Unfortunately I also have s-on, what some friends suggested is to try and use RUU files to change the hboot but I ALWAYS get an 'Unknown error:155' on whichever RUU i try (i am SuperCid), and no HTCdev is not a solution! it does not give s-off. Can anybody PLEASE tell me what to do, I am really desperate as I want to switch back to ICS roms as after using them for so long I hate GB roms ( no offence to any chefs). Please anything at all, I've asked this exact same question before but despite getting 200+ views, nobody answered, I'm really desperate!
boot to bootloader and fire up the RUU.exe
That's what I have been doing, from fastboot option in the bootloader.
Does it change to fastboot USB when you plug the phone in ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
yes it does.
Do you run the ruu as admin?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Yes I do. I right click and choose run as admin and it asks for rights and I click allow.
Please stop starting so many threads asking for help with the same issue. Your question has been answered more than once and it's well known that you cannot flash any RUU because you are s on with 1.23 h boot. You continue to open threads rephrasing the same question. Currently there is no way for you to achieve s off or change your h boot version. Sorry about your situation, no one can help you because there's no solution.

H'm ok I was just trying the tacoroot method by musaraf because like he said, I have no other option.
Just saw your hboot. Never flash test ruus on a s on device... I guess you understand now why we say that...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
I just want to know, with the OTA update of ics will revolutionary update to match it? And why can't I run any ics roms that are on 3.12 firmware because k know I am and I flash their unsecured boot.img files.
I don't think we will know until the official release what h boot version is going to come with the update. We will have to wait and see. Best to try to contact the revolutionary team through there site and ask them.

Did it work? Or the only solution to our problem still is waiting for Revolutionary?
No it didn't work.

you can flash whatever rom you want. read the guides and make sure you understand whats up. if your really jacked up flash an RUU, then read the guides fully and start over. no harm doing it that way. Flash a 2.3.4 RUU or and ICS RUU,

good thing you didnt do the recovery from soff ...and no need to care for bootloader unlock ..as you have much better unlocked bootloader after soff by revolutionary ...
now in general section ..go to flashing 3.33 and arhd rom thread by joaquinf (sticky in general section) ..and follow that guide to letter ..to have a working ICS ROM (post #1 and post #2 in that thread)
EDIT:and for thanks there is a thank button to say that
I recently used htcdev, rooted and installed recovery. After this I tried to flash several roms but all stocked at the bootanimations.. what am I supposed to do? I'm running CWM recovery 4.0.1 - HTC Sensation XE - S-ON and hboot 1.29

Hmm I followed it and managed to install an aosp rom.. however I'd like to install ViperS and that didn't work. I noticed that ViperS had all these kernel things, does that mean I need s-off to install it?

Use 4EXT Recovery then enable smart flash.
And for S-OFF I would recommend it because it will make life a lot easier
