[Q] HTC Sensation - Root etc

Hi,
I wanted to ask my question in the very helpful post by xl VipeR lx:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300&highlight=htcdev
But since I am new it would not let me and I received the following:
To ask Questions about developing your device, installing ROMs, software and themes you must go to the Q&A or General Forum.
Remember, your question has very likely been asked already, so please search before posting.
I searched around and was not able to find the answer. It may be a silly questions but it's a simple one so hopefully someone can assist.
I have a HTC Sensation and want to root it and put CM7 on. Do I need to unlock the bootloader with instructions from www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions before following VipeR's posting on rooting?
Thank you in advance.

yes you do

Thanks

My main reason for asking is I don't want HTC to necessarily know that I unlocked it. Some of the other forum posts have folks who killed their phone. Users recommend putting it back to stock so that HTC warranty will cover repairs.
If I use HTCDev then they would know that I unlocked it (warning mentioned when you register with them).
Any way around that?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[?]Htc desire s android

Please can you tell me if my HTC Desire S, which is rooted with a Three UK ROM added, will get the OTA Update of Android. It currently has Android 2.3.1 HTC Sense 2.1. My other HTC Desire S is not rooted but has updated to 2.3.5. The rooted phone also still has the old Market and not Google Play.

How many times?
Wrong place, wrong place, wrong place, wrong place...
Reported to mods for moving to "Desire S Q&A" where it should have been in the first instance.

Come on dude
You've done this several times now, and we've already said we had to report it for being in the wrong forum. Can't you take the hint?
Good job Simon!

It won't get the OTA because it is rooted and if you were given the chance to update it it would mess up your phone and it would not update properly. Which OTA are you on about? The ICS one that could be months away or the sense 3 one?

There must have some people can help you to solve this problem.

Is Alice trolling here? I can't honestly tell for certain.
The OP asked his question, there were then three posts relating to him putting it in the wrong place (again) and Sharpinator then answered him and asked a question back, so I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of your post was.

My query was about an Android, that's why I put my message in the Android Form.
Messages like, "Wrong place, wrong place, wrong place, wrong place," are not appropriate. People like me who are far from experts are only looking for some help from the experts.

You didn't put your query in the "Android Forum", you put it in the Developer Forum. If you are such a newbie here (which I find surprising given the fact that you have been on this site since 2004) then you could at least have the decency to read the forum rules first. As Sgt Slaughter stated;-

It isn't really difficult to look at a list of forums and work out that a question such as yours should be in the "Q&A" forum.
You were told previously on a different thread not to post in the Dev forum so you can't claim ignorance as an excuse, and you actually got your question answered as well, so I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.
P.S.
My query was about an Android

Any particular Android? Maybe the one in the 1982 film of the same name, with the memorable tag-line "He learns to love, he learns to kill ... Android becomes man"

Help root

My buddy who always roots my phones moved. I can someone please tell me what I need to do to get my att hox able to flash roms? I know the one click root but then what? Sorry In advance if this is a repetitive topic.

check out the development section for this phone. Everything you need to know will be there. Read up before you attempt anything. Make sure you understand the process. Help is always available here, just search first and I'm more than positive you will have success.

Everything you need is in the Development subforum, as mentioned.
To see the threads in a organized index, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
In particular, check out the links under "Root", and also the guides near the bottom of post #1.
Just start reading up as much as you can. If things still seem unclear after reading, and doing some searches, come back and ask specific questions.

I would learn adb and go the manual route. The guides are easy to follow. I never seem to have success with the one click root method on 1.85. If you're on 1.73 then use the one click.

P.S. I am from Romania. If someone around here knows the language, we can also speak in private.

Why can people not READ!!!!! This is a QUESTION - don't post it in the DEVELOPMENT forums That's why we have a Q&A forum.
Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search. The question you have asked has been answered too many times to count - so please, go and read the stickies, use the search function and then you will, hopefully, understand what you need to do without us having to repeat what has been said many, many times before.

This is the kind of response that I did not expected to receive. If u know the basics, and if u are very good at this, help others too do not try to give them ethics lessons.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.
I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.
There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.

Actually, simonTS is right.
Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.
This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.
Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Just repect forum rules, post your questions in Q&A and you'll have expecting answers.
Try search by yourself, you probably find what you need :silly:
Just too slow !

Ok. Thanks. I have posted to the Q&A forum. Please delete this one.

So even after being scolded for not being bothered to search & find the solution yourself you still just post the question & expect others to get you out of the hole you yourself got you into! Man up, learn to read & fix it yourself!

How about searching instead of opening your 23rd new thread all about very basic questions which you can find the answers for yourself if you bother to search and read a little?

I am sorry for creating so many threads, unfortunately I don't always get time to search for things, when I do I either find what I'm looking for and it's not very helpful at all or I don't find anything, I ask questions on xda because it's more helpful then finding something through search. I have found something's about this question I asked, but there not very helpful and the download links don't work, and also the thread I found had been closed. Helpful tips on posting and obviously phone related are very welcome. Sorry for creating so many threads and I do my best.

U might wanna bookmark certain pages like the Help Thread page #1 - #3 and also our very own, well organized INDEX Thread. These users took the time to furnish those thread to ease searching, best to utilize them so as their effort will not go in vain.
Cheers.
ps: stock rom is v4.0.4 sense 3.6

Thank you comes quite useful, but the one I've found uses a lot of ram still. I will try and keep looking around when I have enough time.
