Hi everyone!
I have an Htc Sensation 4G from T-Mobile. I've been trying the wire trick for Juopunutbear S-OFF method and its not working AT ALL! I have been trying for 30 min now and I'm not sure why its not working. I connected it with a insulated wire, watied for 1.75 seconds and connected it again. The phone reboots and just goes back to the screen with only the status bar. Does anyone have any tips on getting the wire trick working?
30 mins?
The first time I used Juopunutbear it took me about 2h.
Just try it over and over.
Maybe read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595344&postcount=356

Luckily I managed to get the timing right after 10-15 mins. More luck than judgement though I have to say.
Just had a quick look at the link "xLychee" posted, it looks pretty good.
Good luck.
I did my own twice and it worked. So here is what you need to do first unlock your bootloader through htcdev and use all in one x toolkit to flash cwm recovery and copy superSu to sd card and flash it then try the juopunutbear again make sure your timing is correct.

Yea, it is possible. Took me a lot of tries too, but it's definitely not impossible.
Ugh still not working....
Great.... My phone is now bricked. Juopunutbear is a evil little piece of crap
With the several alternatives out there, it's all your fault.

Did you manage to fix it ?
It's the same with my phone, there's just the status bar. right now i'm trying to restore from CWM but this takes pretty long...
I managed the wire trick on about the fifth try, its not impossible at all.
this is like when you want to flash PSP with ChickHen
Timing is all you need
Well I took about 3hr30mins
ITS ALL ABOUT TIMING, you can make yourself an audio file which does constant loop with
beep(0.3sec) --- Silence(1.25sec) --- Beep(0.3sec) and make it loop, I did this using audacity on Windows.
I was finally able to soff using the audio as a reference, tweek the timing in the audio to get the right timing
And even I thought mine was dead, If you have the Charging LED lit after doing the wire trick and phone just went blank, your timing wasnt right, just start the phone using the power button and restart the process(wiretrick)
Hope this helps

Ok, thank you!
Alright I am a noob, I have legit looked everywhere but all I have been able to do is find noobproof rooting methods and those won't work for me!! I had an LG optimus one and I rooted it simply using the app Gingerbreak, flashed a whatchamacallit recovery thingy......and installed cyanogenmod. I forget exactly what I did. See I am really new to all this. Basically can someone tell me what is so different between rooting an optimus one and a sensation? and can someone direct me to a post that DOES have a simple way to root, or at least take the time to write one here? I would appreciate it EXTREMELY MUCH.
Thanks!

I was like you just yesterday but lost my virginity last night ( as far as rooting goes). It's super easy to do. Check on YouTube there are vids that show you step by step how to do it. I didn't want to root my sensation before cause I didn't know anything about it. But last night I just did it and my current rom ( android revolution HD 3.6.1) is beyond amazing. People who don't root have NO idea what they're missing. It's a must. Anyway you have to use the revolutionary method to get S-off. Getting S-off doesn't mean you're rooted it "just" mean you have an unlocked boot loader and you can achieve root. But yeah check the vids on YouTube just type how to s-off and root sensation and follow the exact same step. When you're all done, check on YouTube again how to flash a rom, you will b a pro in no time!
Thanks!! yeah I did root my optimus one like I said and flashed cyanogenmod but my phone stopped receiving texts as soon as I did...I thought it was the fact that I rooted it, but in fact it was cuz I didn't pay my phone bill for two months so i was afraid of rooting after that for fear that it might happen again. But yes, so,
where does busybox and superuser fit into all of this?? I recall when i rooted my optimus one superuser appeared on my phone...and I had to download busybox separately. Is busybox necessary for flashing certain roms??

You can download both from Android Apps. Sometimes when trying to download an app (eg.Titanium Backup) it will ask if you want to load busybox or superuser. It is not very difficult.

You've said flash with a t-mo stock rom to restore, this same t-mo stock rom, wouldn't happen to have smartwifi within it by chance?

I can't get over how simple rooting and flashing a custom ROM really is.
Took all of twenty minutes including downloading all the files, I'm now S-OFFed and running ARHD 3.6.1 with the recommended radio and my phone is absolutely flying - Quadrant benches of 2800+.
And as above, if I ever need to go back to stock I can either restore the backup I made when flashing the ROM, or flash a stock RUU and job done.

Right, the issue is covering ALL your traces for warranty purposes, ie if something goes wrong physically (internally) with the phone.

A jtag is hardware that is manually soldered onto the motherboard in order to be able to write to the whole emmc without it needing to work. Is used for recovering devices from full hardware bricking. Ie deleted bootloaders ect.

It's still relevant and could work. An old post doesn't mean it's unusable.

I broke the glass on the digitizer on my HTC Sensation here awhile ago. I ordered a new digitizer on Ebay and changed it myself. The phone works fine,but it responds really slow and laggy from time to time. I discovered AFTER i changed the digitizer and threw the old in the thrash that i should have written down the model-number on the old original digitizer. Is there a way to fix it with a new software or do i need to change to a digitizer with the same number as the old that was on the phone ? I dont have a clue what modelno. the old digitizer was since it is thrown away
I think I saw a help thread with this same problem and there was a fix. I'll search and you search and I'll see if I can find it. If so I'll link you to it. You search too because I know I saw a fix for this.

Software fix = Flash an RUU.

Add your mid to the android_info.txt file inside the zip.
See the RUU guide, it has a point about adding your CID to the file. It's similar.

Just tried to install an older rom i have on the sd-card to see if it is the rom who was acting up. But 4Ext Recovery Touch didnt work either,so i guess its the digitizer who has just decided to die......??? Is there a way to test the digitizer to see if its responsive ? IF it was the rom the digitizer should work in recovery but its not
Buttons do not work at ALL, only in bootloader porwer and volume and power on func.
In all other modes don't work, no response in ROM, no response in Recovery, only touch control!
Track pad lights red and proximity sensor too when phone ON, no illumination from buttons.
SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH!!
If power button and volume rocker work fine in bootloader mode, but not in rom and recovery, its doubtfully a hardware issue. I would suggest flashing a new recovery first (through fastboot if you have s-off) then flash a new rom. Have you tried this? Are you s-on or off? When did this happen? What have you tried to fix?
