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.

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 ???

- i had experience this problem. Try deleting the pg581img.zip from the sdcard and then reboot.

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.
Hi,
im a new member, and i just dont know anything about xda but guys i have a problem with my htc sensation xe.
the problem is that i recently unlocked bootloader of my phone via htc dev which gives me root priviledges but its still s-on, ive installed everything but when flash a custom rom my phone stucks in bootloop, i can only flash rom like ARHD, but i wanted to try ordroid and sense 4 roms but they all get stuck in bootloop. so that means i cant flash roms like that while s-on? cause the juopunutbears soff technique is to difficult so please tell me how can i flash sense 4 roms? ive tried everything.
hboot version: 1.27
firmware:3.32
and does anybody know when revolutionary guys are going to get updated so i can s-off my device with 1.27?

a little search would have give you some million results ..also half of my posts (around 900) are also replies to the same question
anyways ..flashing custom roms ..while being SON and HTC dev unlocked is little bit different
and there is an excellent guide ofr it ..
just follow the below guide to the letter
flashing ROMS with SON
Hello Guys
I want to flash The Android Revolution HD custon ROM.. I read this thread and also this one I fully understand, but just some points are not clear, I desperately need your guidance
The points that I didn't understand are:
- How to SuperWipe! I searched the forums, I know I hv to put Mike's script in root of sdcard.. boot at recovery.. when I choose recovery (after holding volume- + power key) It only shows a draw of a mobile with red exclamation mark! should I hv flashed recovery first? I never flashed anything.. I only unlocked my phone at htcdev.com and my sensation has S-ON and Hboot 1.27. With upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and 3.32.163.12 firmware.
- What is the best recovery that would help me do superwipe? And how to flash this recovery?
So when I successfully superwipe I should install a stock ROM Then root it again ( as auggie2k explained)
I know how to install a ROM but I Don't know how to root!
So many questions I know! sorry but I'm new at those things..
1. This really should have gone in Q&A section
2. Best recovery is probably 4EXT.
3. Because you are S-ON, you need to follow the installing ROMs with S-ON guide (another reason to use 4EXT recovery is because of smartflash feature which makes flashing a ROM with S-ON much simpler).
4. I would recommend S-OFFing anyway because it means you can upgrade firmware and get supercid as well as others, look at the guides for juopunutbear S-OFF for more info on this

Thanks guys for your guidnance.. I was just confused coz there are too much threads there that i read! anyway It was really easy though! Also this thread helped me to Boot into 4ext Recovery from PC without installation:fingers-crossed: which allowed me to wipe, root and install Stock ROM then doing S-OFF which was successful after following http://unlimited.io/'s JuopunutBear method. Now that I installed 4-EXT with your help guys, I'm downloading ARHD ROM in order to flash it with 3.33.401.x firmware
Ok, so I've been searching and browsing the forum for hours now...
I want to install a custom rom/kernel/recovery etc etc on my sensation.
It's currently unlocked with Hboot 1.27 and firmware version 3.32.162.52
Everywhere I look on the forum I find that Rooting needs S-off, and to S-off I need Root access!
Can someone please help me

Thanks, but not exactly what I was looking for
I want to either ROOT or S-OFF my sensation... After that I'll install custom roms and whatnot.
Also, when loading a recovery (for example, twrp or 4ext), after that I can't start recovery, it hangs on the htc splash screen, or just reboots the phone
WAIT! just got a working version of 4EXT running, let's mess with this first

It is actually.. It shows you how to flash ROMs with s-on, and they will give you root.. You can also just flash superuser from recovery and you will be rooted
So in short, you don't need s-off for root

Well, have to S-off anyway now, I've got the revolution rom loaded, but no wifi/radio.

no wifi!
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
You mean the boot.img that's in the kernel right?
cause I couldn't find one in the rom-zip?
Well, manually loaded the boot.img, no goose.
The guys DO say in the rom topic I have to load their radio img...
cleared cache + dalvik, still no wifi
and here comes the new problem:
s-off by Juopunutbear does not support windows 7 ?
So, any tips on getting S-off now ?
or does a kernel include a good radio rom?
If yes, should I just install Sultan Kernel?
installed sultan kernel, still no wifi
Guys, what am I missing!!!
device is now S-off, still can't install a radio.img
I need help here
Try updating to latest firmware and start fresh

ooooh, thats a nice topic, thanks ! I'll have a look
unfortunately, that topic didn't REALLY help me.
I've run across a new problem, I can't fastboot flash boot.img because it says FAILED (remote: not allowed)
What does this mean? I had an unlocked bootloader, but after S-off it looks like it's locked again (says locked in purple on the top)?
Do I need to unlock my bootloader again to be able to fastboot flash? If yes, then how do I do this?
thanks in advance

after achieving S-OFF the bootloader returns to locked situation.(that's why you couldn't perform the fastboot command)
do this now.from this thread flash 3.33 universal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
but before flashing check md5 sums (important)
thank you VERY much!
I now have an unlocked bootloader, firware 3.33, can't wait to get home and flash that sucker
well, the good news is, I have full "control" over my phone now.
The bad news is, I still can't get wifi to work, I'm trying with 3 different roms and like 6 different kernels. I had it working with darksense and one of their included kernels, can't remember which one anymore though. I'm trying to recreate that same situation again, I'll keep you informed of my "accomplishements"
I do have a question though, what EXACTLY controls my wifi? Is it the Radio ? (radio.img) or maybe Boot? (boot.img)
GETril doesnt run properly on my device, so that's no help yet.
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..
