Hey guys, I'm considering going with they option of rooting my HTC Sensation, but I'd like to clear something up beforehand.
At the moment Im on a pay monthly contract with my HTC Sensation and I pay monthly for insurance on the handset, before I go rooting my phone, if for some reason I need to send this phone off to my provider will my insurance be void? Or is this just the case if I haven't managed to return the phone to stock setup?
Id really like to try rooting my phone, but I dont want to have the problem of not being able to send the phone off for repairs or whatnot in the future. By repairs, obviously Im not referring to any problem that could occur during the rooting process, I mean more in the sense of hardware issues etc.
Any help is appreciated, and I apologise if this has been asked/answered before, I did do a forum search but found nothing.
Thanks.
You can S-Off your device without unlocking the bootloader over HTCdev. This way you can root and flash custom ROMs/kernels without loosing your warrenty.
If you have issues and you have to send the phone in, you can just run an RUU for you phone and S-On it again. Nobody would know that you have rooted it.
And if you want to S-Off take a look at the Hboot version! Hboot 1.2x has a different and more difficult way of S-Off'ing.
Oh right, how would I go about S-off'ing my phone? Would it still require me to go through the whole root process first off?
Thanks for your help
First we have to know your H boot version to direct you to the proper guide. To find out, pull battery, put battery back in, then at the same time press power and volume down button. Hold. Then you will see a screen pop up. Look at the information on Top of the screen. Then tell us your H Boot version. by the
Way, I also pay insurance every month on my device and I'm rooted and S off. If anything should happen I would restore back to stock and S on again. This way they would not know device was rooted. Hope this helps.

Just did as you asked and my H boot version is 1.27.0000. That is what I was curious about, the whole insurance deal.
My main reason for considering rooting is to be able to theme my phone a bit more than what a launcher lets me, so what is recommended for this, just rooting, just S-off'ing or both?
Thanks

Both process are reversible, once its s-off and rooted, just dont change your hboot and your good to go. I had the same concern, yet when i needed to return my phone for the warranty, they never even cared and sent me the other one without question (after i turned back the s-on of course). Follow Ganesh's guide here: https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNGNDWtlRFM7pBTIlQr-Y6Vd4nJEgw
Very easy and completely safe!
BoB!!
I suggest rooting and S off. I don't regret it for a second! I try all kinds of awesome roms and I'm able to customize to exactly how I want things! It's been a totally positive experience for me. As I mentioned in above post, I too pay the extra insurance monthly. If there we're a issue I'd return to stock. As above member mentioned he did it and didn't have any problems. I think once your rooted and s off you will be very happy. But do take the extra effort to s off because it's worth it in the long run and makes things easier for you, You will have the ability to do more with s off. Best wishes.

Oh right, thanks you guys. I now feel more able to go ahead and root, now I just need to decide whether I think Im capable of doing it correctly.
Just had a look at that link you posted BobThaBear, it looks abit on the daunting side so Im going to have a long, hard think about it first.
Thanks for all of the help though, its very much appreciated
Hello guys. I've finally created an account and joined your community hoping that i would finally be able to find an answer to problem my phone has, as i haven't really found something similar while i was wasting time searching on google. I have the S4 version of the One S, updated to 4.1.1 stock, no rooting or anything else done.
Okay, now let me describe what happens : Whenever i turn on my Data connection, it works fine for a couple of minutes, then it self-reboots. The screen randomly turns off, then the HTC logo appears and it's back on. If i don't turn data connection off as soon as possible, it won't pass too long until it reboots again. Each time, I receive the notification to send the error report to HTC, but it didn't really help me. This has been happening ever since i bought my phone, 3 months ago.
I even tried contacting HTC support, i chatted with an operator and described him my problem, but his only two solutions were factory reset or warranty. The first one didn't work, unfortunately. That's why i came here, hoping that there may be a software problem or something like that which could be fixed somehow.
PS: Wi-Fi has no problem at all. It's all smooth and fine. Reboots are only caused by data connection.
Wish you a nice day!
I'm no expert, but it seems that you have a retarded phone. Try running an RUU for your CID, take it back down to Ice Cream Sandwich and then do the OTA update again. If that continues to happen, then run the RUU again and stick with ICS. It's better than Jelly Bean, battery life is much much longer, and the sense improvements aren't all that good. Having personalised text message themes is nice, but that's one of the only upsides.
Running RUU doesn't require unlocking, which voids the warranty? If i do that, and it eventually fails, warranty won't be an option anymore, i guess. Am i wrong?

Running RUUs requires having a LOCKED bootloader, so you don't have to worry about that. Secondly, it says that is MAY void your warranty. HTC have to prove that unlocking the bootloader made it break.
But, from what I read, as I have very little knowledge of this, I still have to downgrade the hboot from 2.15, my actual version to a lower one. And this requires rooting. Am I right?
I will try tomorrow to use the RUU from 4.1.1, it has the same version and radio like my phone. I suppose that's fine, right? [my Cid is 405]
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
If the RUU says HTC__405 and Ville (if you have the 1.5Ghz S4 version) or Ville_C2 (if you have the 1.7Ghz S3 processor) then it will work perfectly.
Sent from my One S using xda premium
Take it to warranty if it was doing that from the first day you bought it... DON't Try to fix it, it sounds as a hardware problem, and to be fair, why do you want to repair it??? TAKE IT TO THE SHOP YOU BOUGHT IT! STOP.
I also had some kind of problem, it wasn't related to Data, but more with WIFI, and it wasn't fixed completely until I flashed A FULL RUU of the latest Jelly Bean Rom Available, probably in the process rewriting every bit of software, radio and such!
I was on the verge of throwing my phone out the window more than one time, but I bought it second hand so I didn't had warranty!
This is the only thing you cand do, flash a RUU for your region or operator, beside that it's hard to diagnose the problem... OTA Updates can do nasty things sometimes, so I don't recommend it...
After the flash, if it still acts up it's a hardware problem!
Quick question/opinions for folks: I am getting my phone back from HTC tomorrow. The USB charging port was worn down and I had a minor crack in the screen. They originally wanted $200 for the fix because "they had to remove the screen to get to the USB port" so "installing a new screen had to be done" bla bla bla. I found a warranty discrepancy and ended up getting it all fixed for free (including a brand new screen!). So, I was running ABC and XYZ ROM's (obviously no point in saying what ones) before I sent it back. I did a full wipe via TWRP as well. How have people gotten their phones back via warranty from HTC? Like, your original phone sent back to get fixed and sent back to you? Not an overnight shipment of a refurb...but your own phone back?
What I am basically asking is: how does the phone come back internally (software wise). Will there be an unlocked, s-off bootloader like I had it? Will it still be S-Off? I have tried to ask this question in the main sections to no avail. When my phone comes back stock...the guy from HTC, it sounded like it would come back as Android 4.4.4 KitKat? If it's not rooted, s-off, unlocked and all that good stuff...am I better off waiting to get cracking away on the software side of things until the official Verizon OTA comes through? I am assuming it's Sense 7 and hopefully Lollipop 5.1. People have said rooting 4.4.4 is much easier than trying it on Lollipop. I would like to know what I'm in for once I get my toy back? This Samsung Droid Charge has actually been really fun to use for the past 10 days haha. Please PM me your answers/thoughts/opinions/experiences. No need to post here anymore. Like I said...I am sorry for posting here, but I had no other choice.

If it's your phone they send back they may swap the board to cover the port.
The old HTC repair facility in Houston would flash and revert your board to whatever was the latest os. They would also revert any s or unlock status. The new repair facility in Tennessee has been missing stuff left and right...so post your results. I'm curious what you get back.

Hey dude, I finally was able to get back to your PM, hit me back up in PM if you have any more questions. The man regarding the S-OFF if you do get the phone back with the new 5.0.1 software is actually the man above me in this post. Great amazing guy!
As for the phone, I assume that it will come back on the latest OTA which is 5.0.1 and unfortunately SunShine (the S-OFF tool) only supports up to 4.4.4. So you will need to ship it to someone with a JavaCard my personal suggestion - the man above.
I have yet to have to send any of my devices to HTC for any fixes so unfortunately I do not know for sure, but I don't think it will be coming back with 4.4.4 but rather the latest OTA 5.0.1.

Thanks for the reply @dottat! You seem to always find my questions/responses/suggestions and offer up some good tips :good:
I chatted with HTC online and the guy said I would be getting the phone back with 5.0.2. I didn't want to push the issue with rooting, unlocking, etc by asking him. TBH I think I did ask him about it being harder to root and he said, which I thought was funny, "I'm sorry it's more difficult...but I have no idea what you're talking about" hahahaha. I will DEFINITELY post here tomorrow after I charge up my phone and see what happens. I'm just going to boot normally and that's it. I won't even do a HTC Restore. I want to see how it is. Maybe I'll be lucky and get Sense 7? I doubt it though.
Be ready for a notification tomorrow. I'll need your help tomorrow so I can start flashing some bomb ass @andybones ROM's as well as the ones you work on!

You would be correct...I'm 99.9% sure but the HTC Chat guy said it would be 5.0.2. I, like I mentioned above, am also hoping for Sense 7 but I doubt it. Even VZW hasn't put out that OTA.
My question to both @dottat and @andybones : should I just wait to root and do all that stuff after our expected next OTA from Verizon which should be, AT LEAST, Sense 7.0? Any chance they'd come out with Android 5.1 along with it? I ask because I'd rather be on stock everything if I can get it. I don't even know if I can flash TWRP to flash any of the ROM's you guys work on. Am I correct in that? Thanks for all the help past, present and future fellas. IT really is awesome that you care this much. I feel like we're the 1% of the entire XDA forums that post to help people and resolve issues...and not just download, flash, complain and leave.

You do realize the current ota is not able to be s-off'd right? So taking another one if it landed would only likely compound things. I would get it s-off using any means possible asap (Java card/sunshine/etc).
Also, to comment on your charging port replacement. (And you may not like my opinion here).
You should be gracious in the fact they did this for free. Taking apart this phone is a pain in the ass when the screen isn't broken because it takes some prying to pop it out of the shell. Anyone that says you don't have to remove screen to replace the charging port hasn't removed the guts on one with a broken screen. You end up breaking it a whole lot worse than it was. Trust me on that. HTC reasonably would NOT work on a phone where they are likely to make things worse. Afterall, they didn't break the screen.

I agree with the above post, S-OFF as soon as possible, there is no benefit to waiting. If you're lucky enough too use SunShine go that route - but if on an Android version they don't support I 100% suggest going java card. I used java card for S-OFF onmy my M7 and more recently on my M9.
As for the screen @dottat he had a crack and was willing to pay for it if HTC ended up breaking it in the charging port fixing, however due to a discrepancy that Vic found he was able to pay for the charging port fix while getting g a new screen for free as per HTC's fault in their wording. (Vic please correct me if I'm mistaken here.)

Part of my response here was in regards to what had been posted in other non-relevant threads. The question was asked as to whether it was required to remove the screen to replace the USB port. On the M8, the screen assembly comes out attached to the mainboard and battery etc. In order to remove it from the aluminum back you must pry it gently in order to remove it. If the screen had an existing defect prior to this process, it's sure to shatter in the removal process as during the normal process the glass must flex (something a broken/cracked screen would likely fail to do). While the screen doesn't technically get removed from the mainboard and battery...the worst part of the process is actually the spudging required to free the entire assembly from the back.

Okay guys. I have my phone up and running and updating apps. Currently it's running 4.4.4. I have the ability to NOT install the updates (it says there are two updates).
So:
4.4.4
Sense: 6.0
Should I just let it update to Lollipop?
EDIT: TO clarify: The charging port was under warranty. Somehow they were trying to fleece me for $200. I had a total cost of zero dollars to do all of this. Just a 2 week span without the phone!

Not if you want to root it.
Verify everything works as expected. GPS. Wi-Fi. Screen pixels all OK.

Glad you have your phone back man. (You are very lucky it came back with 4.4.4!)
Doug answered the question already.. but I also did before as well (see my earlier post - I have included in this post, I highlighted it in red ..)
SunShine supports Android 4.4.4 it does NOT support lollipop.
Thus, if you want root/S-OFF you can either stay on 4.4.4 use SunShine and get S-OFF without the device leaving your hands.
Or, upgrade to lollipop and have to send your device out to someone with a JavaCard. (Not the ideal method when you can have S-OFF within minutes)
I would stay on 4.4.4 use SunShine to S-OFF (a well worth $25 fee)
Then, you simply go to the development section (or maybe it's in general) and flash the latest RUU for the HTC One M8 Verizon.
Version 4.17.605.6

Awesome folks. Just awesome. Sunshine it is! I was able to gain S-Off and Unlock my Bootloader and Root all for free when I did it back in July. Is there a change in that method? I remember using WeakSauce and that's about it. I remember not paying for it that's all. And now I do. I can go to HTCDev and that won't work either now. I'm kinda pissed haha. So Sunshine is my only option then, correct? Thanks again for the assistance.

If you read the SunShine thread, firewater is what you used for free, and is now SunShine, WeakSauce is just for root, not S-OFF/unlock of bootloader. Root will not allow flashing of custom recovery and ROMs.
The people behind SunShine don't do this for free, so they now charge $25, more than worth it.
(that or figure out a way to do S-OFF and you provide it for free)
(I believe they started charging per S-OFF because their used to be "bounty" threads on XDA for the S-OFF methods, and they'd get maybe 10% of the people who promised to pay. Not fair and not worth their time and efforts.)
Let's just be thankful we have people like the SunShine crew doing this for us, and only charge $25, they could literally charge whatever they want, people like us want S-OFF, and I'd easily pay $50.
Without these guys providing S-OFF, I personally wouldn't be on an HTC device.
I personally don't see why you are pissed? We are quite lucky, IMO.
Or stay stock.

I read through it all and have no issues with the $25 at all. I was just curious because I never had to pay, that's all. I don't mind $25. It's a 30 rack!

Also, the tech dude who worked on my phone left me a couple selfies....
This has been amusing so far. And not to take away from my previous device...but this one is so much better. Smoother screen, smoother UI, quicker, etc. Unless it's because I'm still on KitKat. I'll Sunshine it this weekend.

I think we had a miscommunication misstep there. No hard feelings meant anywhere! And guess what? I got an additional 100GB free Google Drive Storage hahahahaha...unless everyone is getting it now. Then I'd just feel like a jackass.

All good. You must be on kitkat to use SunShine....
If you upgrade to lollipop you will have to ship phone oit to a person with a java card costing more than $25 and be without phone for 5+ days.
(Unless your kitkat comments referring to being a newer version than what you were previously on, to which we don't know what that was).
Nothing neew concerning the storage (iirc)
The selfiies however are quite humorous.

No no...I get the whole Sunshine thing. I researched WeakSauce and Firewater and they've just said to go Sunshine. Must be making good money though. I'm going to stay stock for a bit and just have some fun like this. Being back on KK is fun, in a weird way. Just like the guy fixing my phone in that pic haha.
We're good dude. I am actually happy to pay the $25 and have everything done for me and guaranteed to work or my money back!
The extra 100GB in the cloud is CLUTCH for me. I think DRIVE assumes I have a new phone which comes with the extra 100GB. I'm just having fun.
