Hi all
Anybody has an idea how can this be done. I know that XTC Clip does it, but isn't there any other way? I heard from a friend that he saw a thread regarding this.
Much thanks!

can you please be more specific? what is this ENG S-OFF? what does it means and what are it's limitations?
As I've heard the eng s-off for some phones gives more options. Can you please tell us more about this ENG S-off and how can be done? Also, why do you think that its not so cool
is there really a way to s-off without xtc clip?
my girlfriend has one and i s-offed it with my xtc clip, which works 100%. really good for all those people who have no idea about adb, shell and so on
if there would be an easier way than buying a device, more people would care about the chacha and there would be more custom roms...and yes the htc needs a custom rom, because without A2SD the device criples itself with the build 100mb for software...

Currently there is no other way of getting S-OFF (ENG S-OFF=S-OFF, so disregard all the other posts) except XTC Clip.
I'll update my guide when alpharev/HTC will unlock it.
Hi Guy's
Can you tell us where is the way for s-off to s-on? I'm noob on this device so please please help me. Thanks

Why would you want to go from S-OFF to S-ON? Unless you're returning for warranty purposes?
The idea for going to s-off is to get your root rights just fine. I'm a system administrator and i want to use my phone at full capacity.
hey guys i updated my HTC Sensation to ICS 4.0.3 i was wondering can i root my phone or not because of the new update ?
Yes you can root and s-off,but you have to do htcdev unlock.

holy WTF all that to root an HTC Phone X_X!!
damn the Xperia mini pro root was so easy X_X
This because of hboot 1.27. BUT It's not so difficult as it seems, just read it. It worked for me. Good luck.

Thank's ! i'll try it out soon i just wish there was like a one click root softwarte that is easy XD
Forgot to say i have 4.0.3 ICS can i still do that root ?
Yes. That guide is for the official update, which is what you have. Do exactly as it says and you'll be alright
I have just started learning about rooting, I have read lots of threads about rooting information. I'm planning to root my Sensation 4G today. But there are so much different ways of rooting it, I don't know what is the latest and best. So, can a Sensation owner that has already rooted tell me whats the best and easy way to root the Sensation 4G as of today. I just noticed that my Sensation 4G does still have a few month of warranty, so just in case something happens to it, I need a way of rooting that will be able to also unroot it and be back to stock ROM as well.

How will I unroot it if anything happens?
Make sure you understand the difference between S-OFF and root.
You really need S-OFF to do anything useful and that's a phone thing.
Root (superuser) is a ROM thing, it will come with any custom ROM and can be installed on a stock ROM.
What HBOOT version have you got ? That determines which S-OFF method you should use.

I couldn't wait, so I started to root it a few hours ago and am done now. I'm on ARHD 6.7.2 with beats audio.
Hello everyone! I just got my HTC Sensation 4G, and I really want to root it. The problem is, this phone is so much more complex than my Optimus V and there are many different methods to rooting this phone. So if anyone has the time, can you give me a quick run down on how to flash a ROM and which way is the easiest way to root? To me it seems like the Super Utility is the easiest, but VipeR's method is more in depth.
PS: I am currently on Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.4, the kernal version is 2.6.35.13. I want to flash Bruce's CM10 or possibly the latest MIUI JB. TWRP 2.3 seems like a good recovery, but I see a lot of people using 4EXT, so which would work better?
Thanks in advance!
You should check the stickies in the dev section. It will be the third post from the top. That will be a good start for you

All right guys, I'll make sure to read those guides and not use the HTC Dev method. I saw on some topics like Bruce's CM10 that I need the ICS firmware. This is achieved by downloading the ICS/Sense 3.6 update correct? And if it is, just grab it from under settings and go from there? Sorry for being such a noob at this!
As you are still on Gingerbread, I would suggest to S-OFF your device first as it is quite easy to do so. Later, on ICS and 1.27 HBOOT it will be more difficult. If you S-OFF your device now, you can update your phone thereafter to ICS. I think these would be the correct moves, I hope someone will confirm this! Have a good day!
Yeh if your still on gingerbread soff now instead of with ICS. Then you can update to ICS/JB by flashing 3.32/3.33 firmware once your soff.

So S-Off with Revolutionary then do the OTA update or use Kohr-Ah's 3.33 update? God I hate having to ask so many questions, but I just want to make sure I get through this all cleanly. No need for Super CID or perm root until I get updated to 3.33 correct?
Someone more clever should confirm this to you but I think if you s-off, then install ICS you can still update your firmware. That's the point of S-OFF-ing your device. You can do whatever you want with it. But wait until someone confirm this to you or it might be written somewhere.
Seems like doing the ICS update then using the Super Utility is the simplest way, with the wire trick being the hardest part. Can anyone confirm please?
S-OFF before you update to ICS! After S-OFF you can still install ICS on your device. It is much easier to S-OFF on Gingerbread. No wire trick etc... just simple instructions you need to follow!
No you want to soff first in gingerbread ad above posters suggested it will be best in the long run and a whole lot easier for you!once you update it will be more difficult to soff. Hope this helps so do the soff in gingerbread first.

Ok, so S-Off well in GB. Do I use Super Utility or VipeR's Guide?
But can someone tell me the correct way to get the 3.32/3.33 firmware after that? I am assuming I should follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
And that I should use the 3.32 TMOUS firmware from here, as I am on T-Mobile US:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
Alright, so I did all the reading up I could, and I think I got this down. Im going to use VipeR's guide to S-Off, root, and SuperCID, then I'm going to usejoaquinf's guide to flash Kohr-Ah's 3.33 Universal firmware update. After that going to put on Bruce's CM10 and away I'll go.
PS: Anyone here use the latest TWRP Recovery on this phone? It seems the focus is one 4EXT.
Use 4ext! It will make your life easier later... good luck and report back how you got on!

You dont need to s-off if you just want custom rom and root acess
First update your sensation on ics and then look here

I would rather S-Off so I have total freedom to do what I want. Plus it doesn't seem to be that hard with GB. I'll see if I have time to root today, if not then definitely during the week.

I never rooted or flashed or anything to my one s, yesterday I got the official jellybean update and so far I hate it
sure they made some things good, contact pictures aren't low quality any more but the downside out weighs the good stuff, I can't play any games cause it lags, the 3d effect on my home screens is gone
all in all I want to downgrade back to ics, the official htc ice, not custom ones. I'm willing to root or w/e it is asking is my phone is how it was yesterday before the update
please help, oh and I have the s4 processor
Edit: even after turning everything off I'm using up 800mb ram out of the 1gb
AW: Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4
RAM management on Linux/Android is different as the windows one.
Full doesnt automatically means bad, but yes the usage is higher then on ICS.
Only way to revert to official ICS is downgrade your HBoot or getting S-OFF and installing the ICS Ruu.

if s-off, hboot and ruu are unknown for you the procedure could be very risky for you..
maybe think about flashing a custom rom which is based on 4.0.4, like zenRom or Trickdroid 7, its much easier than downgrading etc.

no
this is normally the ruu, doubleklick, and it makes everything on its own.
but the jb-ota updated the hboot, so the ics ruu isnt compatible anymore.
to let the ics ruu run again you have to downgrade your hboot.

Fyi you will lose warranty if you attempt any of the above steps I.e root, s off etc. I think you should give custom roms a go if you are going to unlock bootloader and root. Trickdroid is pretty much stock but better and viper is amazing. Using hasoons all in one tool is probably the easiest way to unlock phone (stickied in dev section).

Manual Upgrade
Hi Guys,
I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile .... Its not rooted yet .....
But the software upgrade won't work .... The update gets downloaded (as I can see the update file in my file explorer) but it won't install ....
The phone merely restarts ....
I have 4.0.3, and want to upgrade to 4.0.4 .... fed up with the multi-tasking issues.
Is there any way to install the upgrade file manually, or do I need to install a 4.0.4 based custom ROM?
