S-on or S-off - HTC Sensation

I have an sensation and i am ***UNLOCKED*** HBOOT 1.27.0000 Pyramid S-ON
I have tried to flash new kernels. I reboot in recovery and flash without errors. But when started up i still have the same kernel.
Should i do S-off ? and how ? or what could be the problem ? I have been reading this forum, but my brain is overloaded now.
Any tips for me ? I am running Viper 1.2.1 but i get no wifi so i guess i have to change kernel and radio.....
Thanks...:

Thanks to all of you. This made it work WITH Sebastian kernel, and now is also wifi working on Viper 1.2.1 :good:

Glad my input helped happy flashing

I must say I'm very happy to be soff. I can flash different firmware and it makes flashing much easier. it's defiantly worth the process to achieve soff. You have more capability.
I'm very glad I did the procedure! I'd definitely vote for s off. It's well worth the " trouble"!

[SOLVED] [Q] Just did S-ON, can't boot, "Security Warning"

So, I did the S-On procedure. Everything seemed to go fine but it will only go to the fastboot screen and it says "Security Warning" up at the top. Ideas?
Just go into fastboot, download the RUU you need and flash the stock rom. After that enable usb debuggin in the settings and connect to your pc. After that follow the guide you used to do before.

I can run the RUU with S-On?
Yeah sure if you use the one that matches with your CID.
Btw I flashed my device with the RUU too with S-On
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I will give it a try. I never messed with my CID so any Tmous RUU should work, correct? Thanks for your help!
Yes, but I would use the latest one.
Write back when done

Looks like downloading is going to take a while. I'll post back when it's been attempted.
Worked like a charm, it seems. I had used an older RUU before going back to S-On.
Thanks again. I'm now 2 for 2 in asking questions without being flamed and, instead, receiving mega helpful answers!

New to sensation 4g

How your doing everyone just wanted to introduce myself I just came from the galaxy s 4g forums. So lame I had to upgrade. I just got rooted yesterday and just need to know a little more info on super cid and flashing ruu firmware I been reading on it alot but I don't know which roms need the super cid or not any help or a point into the right direction will be appreciated. Thanks in advance looking forward to these forums

The super cid would only be required if you're going to flash any ics 4.0.3 rom to prevent boot loops or getting stuck on the splash screen

Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Android revolution and insertcoin are both really great ics roms if you want the full sense experience, but for me, I prefer ics being aosp like because I think its really nice and polished looking which is why I would use virtuous inquisition if you want senseless
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with Beats Audio using XDA App
yo welcome!! same here i used like sense soo much back when it was like 2.1 days, but with ICS coming around and being able to play with it, AOSP is now what im looking for. just waiting for the CM9 to be released. hopefully soon, till then virtuous inquisition is what im using
It's worth having Super CID simply as you'll not have to worry about having to do it again if a ROM requires it.
I'd give the Virtuous ROM series a go if you're after a AOSP style experience or ICS Sense, and I can happily say ARHD is brilliant too.
Thanks for the replies I just did the super cid and flashed the p58img that starts with 3.12 and everything is fine it just says locked on the boot screen and hboot 1.23 am I good to flash that virtious Rom now

Well if you want to be on the super safe side, I guess a super wipe would be in order. Otherwise, a factory/data wipe should be fine.
Ok cool I appreciate everyone's help I'm not a noob just new to HTC Im just used to the Samsung galaxies they don't have none of this bootloader bs and fast boot I appreciate everything guys this forum is wary more friendly than the gs4g forums.

Dude, unlock the phone, S-off, supercid, permaroot and clockwork and then install any rom you want. The guide in the forum is very simple and easy to use.

You need to s off and super CID to flash your phone with ANY ruu. It's the only method to debrand your phone as you so wish to do.

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

I think he means that you should downgrade the hboot but it is not possible with an s-on device.
To s-off your device you can use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Root your device with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276

Yes there is a easy way of doing it you could flash a ruu that has the boot 1.17 and then head on over to alpha revolutionary and then s off and then root and then head over to 4ext.net download your new custom recovery and set it up and then upgrade your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33 you will then have hboot 1.27 next flash a Rom
