[Q] difference between htcdev and revolutionaryf??

Hi guys, apologies in advance if this is a really stupid question but I really wanna know the answer...
What is the difference between what revolutionary does and what unlocking the bootloader with htcdev does?
I am wanting to install a custom rooted gingerbread ROM.
Thanks

Don't know if there are any technical difference, but i believe you have to register at htcdev.

I recomend revolutionary because you get permanent s-off and with htcdev ,it only unlocks some parts of it and you are still s-on plus your warranty gets voided.

Ah ok thanks... will use revolutionary then.
Just out of interest what are you not able to do when you still have s-on?

+1 Use revolutionary. S-OFF, ClockworkMod (CWM) & su can't go wrong with those.
There are also some slick ICS ROMs now, better battery life for me but they do require a Firmware update. If you go down this route, 3.12 F/W can also run GB ROMs. Just make sure you do a Nandroid backup before any ROM changes.

To S-OFF use Juopunutbear S-OFF method. Read and follow this detailed guide.

Thats not revolutionary...

Sorry about that.. solved my problem, i forgot that @ revolutionary site you can choose the hboot version XD. the supported ones are 1.17 and 1.18, anyway my problem is solved 'cause i've used a RUU to return back to hboot 1.18, anyway thank you!

It is possible i already did it one time when i recovered the phone with the 1.45 RUU starting from a Android 4.0.3 based custom rom, it's a bit twisted process but not that hard

I know its possible with s-off. But with stock, unrooted ICS iT's not..

[Q] Hi, is there anyway to root my XE?

Hi, I have a XE and I want to see if I can S-Off/root it. (Without HTCDev, as that wouldn't work, and no Juopunutbear because I don't want to do anything too messy.)
My HBOOT reads as fallows:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMc-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
Any help?
Also, I'm good with rooting/S-off and can get my way through adb.

Try this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

This is what I get when I run Revolutionary:
Found your device: HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e (pyramid-1.27.0000, A
ndroid: 4.0.3, ROM version: 3.32.206.112)
Your device: pyramid, with HBOOT 1.27.0000 is not supported at this time.

Mostly because I just got this one under warranty from HTC because my last one got hard bricked, and I don't wanna screw it up again

Hey,
There is only one method for you, & that is JuopunutBear with temporary root.
If not for this method, there is nothing else.
You will find it very hard to do the wire trick because your bootloader cannot be unlocked; if you can come to the JuopunutBear Support Channel (Link in signature), we can help you out.

Unfortunatly there are not many solutions for rooting with that hboot at this time.however many people have been successful at using junoptobears method. However if your not comfortable with it than don't do it. You must be comfortable in the method you use. Revolutionary does not support that Hboot as of now but who knows in the future they might.looks like your options are quite narrow if you want to root right now. Perhaps someone knows of another way around this. If not I would read the guide and try to become more comfortable with your options. It just depends on how important it is to you to be able to be rooted. If its important than read up and hopefully you will soon be more comfortable with the wire trick. Whatever you decide I wish you the best...

Doing the junoptebear method that doesn't use htc dev?
Sent from my sensational sensation 4g

dude, there is this new One Click Root created by ganeshp
check it out here
as usual, read carefully before u do anything =)

Alternate method

Is there an alternate method to get s-off on hboot 1.27 that does not require the paper clip method?

There's the wire method, but that's the same thing only you use a wire instead of a paper clip. So basically, no .

Damn... had to swap out my sensation and the one I got back has hboot 1.27 but the wire trick kind of worries me.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry about the wire method.
It is just about timing.

[Q] downgrade from hboot 1.29 to 1.18?

Hey everyone,
I have a Htc Sensation XE, with ICS (original rom) and i want to s off and root it, but the hboot is a 1.29 so the revolutionary way does not work, i know that there is a new way, the Juopunutbear one, but its seems a little hard, and to be honest i'm afraid to brick my phone, so can i just downgrade the phone ? flash any GB stock rom and use the revolutionary way to s off and root it ? if yes, how i'll do it ?
Thank you, and sorry for my bad english.

i think if you downgrade your hboot version you will brick your device
instead of juopunutbear method you can do htcdev unlock method to unlock the bootloader and then root the device

and if a flash a RUU rom, a GB one, and then do the s off and root thing with the best method i know, the revolutionary one ^^

i don't know if you can do that when you are in completely stock situation
wait for someone else to confirm it
if yes then you can do that procedure

You can't flash gb ruu, if you aren't s-off, or if you don't have supercid. Try the juopuntuBeats, is very easy and no problem. If you try it 4-5 times before running the program you can do it very fast.
EDIT: you can't brick your phone, if you do all the things that is required!!! First of all unlock the bootloader, with the htc WEB SITE and then install a recovery with the sensation toolkit and then install ROOT. Finish if you want to s-off you have to do the juopuntubear if no, you can flash rom with s-on but only with 4ext recovery

ok ok, thank you very much my friends, you have been a great advise, thank you once again.

No problem, bu remember do it slowly and keep calm

Try the juopunutbear method without htcdev unlock so you won't break your warranty! If you follow the instructions well, nothing will happen to your phone and it's not as tricky as you think

Nothin will happen, just S-OFF. Don't worry it works fine, when i do it first time i got success on the 4th try, now i can catch timing on the first attempt...so like other things it just depends on practice..
