As of the moment, revolutionary does not support the new hboot. The only way to s-off again is to downgrade.
Or you are able to unlock but will remain s-on by using htcdev site, which elk enable you to flash custom ROM and recovery but you must be aware that boot needs to flashed via fast boot

here you can see a procedure how to obtain superuser access to an S-ON mobile, and flash recovery and of course flash an unrooted custom ROM. I personally used the MIUI v1.11.11
I have a Desire S fully unlocked in the UK, looking to put android 2.3.7 on it. It has the latest version 2.3.5 on with hboot 2.00.002.
Has anyone achieved this yet?? If so how??
Thanks in advance!
Android 2.3.7 is available via CM7 or MIUI, not sense
Apologies but I don't really know what that means. I am wanting to remove all of the HTC software and run just android.
ok, I understand now, what I need to be able to do is S-OFF 2.00.0002?

You can gain full S-OFF on HBOOT 2.00.0002. You can unlock the bootloader at http://htcdev which will allow you to flash a custom recovery and install CM7.1 ROM which is based on GB 2.3.7.
Thanks very much
Should I follow these instructions??

At which stage can I install CM7.1 ROM
Thanks for your help!
My s-on was taken down in a service by xtc clip. This is the simplest way...
Install through ROM Manager after all the steps?
better install 4ext recovery, how to is somewhere in this forum. Than you can convert your partitions to 4ext fs, what is suported by most of roms. 4ext works better for me. to manage your roms download 4ext updater from market.

Yes that is the procedure to follow. You can install CM 7.1 ROM after you have finished step 7, but I would go ahead and finish step 8 also. That will root your existing ROM so when you make a 'nandroid' backup before you flash CM 7.1, you will have a fully rooted backup of your system.
I was trying to upgrade the stock rom on my HTC Sensation to revolutionary ICS. Ran the superwipe script and it removed everything from the phone. the phone refuses to boot now. Is there a way I can get my phone back?
I am downloading this stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1226085.html but don't know how to put it on the SD card?
Any help will be much appreciated!
You can boot into revolutionary. Go to mounts and mount usb storage. Then you should be able to copy the rom to the SD and flash it from there
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
If all else fails and providing you can get the phone to load the HBOOT screen you can try flashing the latest RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961
The file should be run on your PC with the phone connected. You would then of course need to reinstall a custom recovery program again, but that's simple with 4ext recovery updater from the market. Then you can flash the ICS custom ROM of your choice.
The ROM in the link provided says Europe. I had a TMO_US, sensation 4g.
will make any difference/problems using the phone in US? sorry for extremely noob question but just wanted to be sure...

it didnt work because you probably didnt flash the new firmware update. if you want to boot ics roms you have to upgrade
You need to flash the latest firmware that's compatible with ICS 4.0.x. Find the thread in the development section, download the PG58IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your /sdcard/. Reboot the phone into fastboot/bootloader. The phone will detect your PG58IMG.zip and ask if you want to flash it. Use volume+ to accept the upgrade. The device will reboot once during this process. Firmware upgraded, old ROM's will now bootloop, ICS roms will work sexily.

Have you gone through revolutionary to S-OFF the phone ? IIRC the Revolutionary HBOOT is 1.17.1111.
IF YOU ARE NOT S-OFF GET S-OFF FIRST.
Assuming you are S-OFF then look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Read and re-read the information there.
The 3.12 version (HBOOT 1.23.0000) supports GB and ICS, this is what I'm using as I also want to run CM7.
The 3.24 version (HBOOT 1.27.0000) only supports ICS
That'll get you ICS compatible firmware and radio.
As far as ROM is concerned, take your pick, I'm using Virtuous Inquisition but there are loads there.
Alright guys I got s-off and thats about it. I want ics on my phone but once I update to the nnewest firmware and flash an ics rom it stays stuck on white HTC screen. I've had to use RUU twice because I can't load a recovery without updating firmware and once i do that my phone does not boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get ics on my sensation 4g?
Make sure you get SuperCID so the firmware update goes through. If you don't have SuperCID then it can look like it updated but it actually fails.
Once you get the firmware flashed properly, you have to delete or rename the firmware zip from your SD card so that you can access recovery.

The problem with this might be which version of htc sense was cooked into the Rom you are using. If you are using a android 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.5 then you need firmware package 3.12 because sense 3.5 needs HBOOT 1.23, and sense 3.6 needs HBOOT 1.27 so you would use the 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 but again it all depends on what the chef has built from if the chef used a 3.5 sense in the rom then that might be your issue.
If not try to just start over, completely format your sd card, then put your rom, supersipe, and firmware on sd card.
1. install firmware from recovery once installed pull battery out and remove sd to take off the firmware file,
2. reinstall sd card, boot phone into recovery- go to install from zip and run the superwipe script once it finishes it will reboot into recovery.
3. then install the rom of your choosing and see if that works.

Stock is not needed.
You need to ensure that F/W and ROM are compatible. I.e. ICS 1.27.xxxx F/W WILL NOT work with a GB ROM, and GB 1.17.xxxx WILL NOT work with ICS.
Flash the F/W, if not already done. Can't remember what you are on.
SuperWipe (from Mike's ARHD thread).
Flash your chosen ICS ROM.
Pop out the SD card, reboot insert and then delete the PG58IMG.zip ONLY if you flashed the F/W.
Deep joy.

and i need a big help,i tried upgrading my firmware to 3.32 and it said "wrong cid" "fail" now its stuck on the htc logo and bootloops help please :'(
Superwipe is down toward the bottom of OP of this thread. It leaves you with a very very clean phone. So no apps, no user data, no ROM. You'd want to have a nandroid backup at the very least before superwiping, as well as titanium backup for your apps etc. You just flash superwipe from recovery like a ROM (install .zip from sdcard).
Sounds like you've got hold of the wrong firmware for your CID. So you either need to know your CID (if you've got your head around adb and fastboot commands, "fastboot getvar cid" will get that for you) and find the right firmware, or supercid your phone so you can use any firmware. Go to this thread for firmware.
For your firmware there's a file,
android.txt, that has a list of CIDs. The T-Mobile CID usually isn't in it. If you do the superCID you shouldn't have to worry about it. Other wise you have to open the file located in the PGM581000 file and add CIDT-MO010 to the txt file. Either way make sure you delete the PGM file immediately after you flash it.

Go to the dev thread for ROMs, ARHD is my preference. Good directions and all the files you need linked right there. Well most ROM threads are that way but this ROM and firmware are smooth and flawless.

This is misleading and not really true. First of all, VI is not true AOSP but Sense with most of the obviously sense parts removed. Secondly OpenSensation CM9 is hands down the best true AOSP rom and now that it has bluetooth and 1080p camcorder there's virtually no reason to use a senseless sense rom like vi.

CID is carrier identification. The thread you downloaded your T-Mobile firmware from contains firmwares for a variety of CIDs, in other words, specific to whichever carrier your phone came from. SuperCID removes that form of 'branding' and allows you to flash any firmware file, if you look through the list of firmware they can all be flashed to a device with CID 11111111. So essentially we superCID for convenience.
SuperCID has no bearing on what ROMs you can flash, the only consideration is that a particular ROM will require a certain firmware, eg. ICS ROMs need 3.12 base or higher.

Almost. SuperCID and custom recovery you can do no worries. Firmware upgrade will depend on what stock ROM is currently installed, if you flash firmware that your stock ROM isn't compatible with you will get bootloops and most likely have to downgrade. So personally I wouldn't be looking to upgrade firmware until you intend to flash a ROM that requires it. At that point you'll want a custom recovery anyway so it won't hurt to install that now.

Thanks. I'm currently on the T-Mobile Sensation 4G stock ROM S-Off/Rooted. Will going to the 3.32 firmware wipe the stock ROM or cause bootloops for sure?
I also have ClockWork Recovery from a really long time ago. Using ROM Manager to flash a new recovery (trying to update) does nothing. Why does that happen? Perhaps my recovery is too old?

I'm would assume your 4G would already be running ICS? In which case you probably already have up-to-date firmware installed. The firmware update generally applies for people coming from GB to ICS. Go to Settings/About Phone/Software Information/More/Build Number and see what numbers you have there.
Flashing firmware will not wipe your ROM, the worst that will happen is bootloops if the firmware and ROM aren't compatible.
The recovery you have now shouldn't stop you from flashing a new one, instead of using ROM Manager try downloading 4ext from the Play Store and see how that goes.
Hi guys,
After a lot of effort i managed to:
unlock bootloader
install CW 5
root the device
Now i need a reccomendation for an ICS or JB rom.
I need everything completely stable, that is highest priority, and after that comes the speed.
Please advise also about which kernel if i do need to change it?
I'm currently on GB.
I want to upgrade only with install zip from sd card if possible, from CW5 or whichever.
THANKS!
If you want an ics rom you will have to update your firmware to ics firmware which is 3.33 or 3.32.I believe you must be s off in order to do this. If your on gb right now to load any ics rom firmware must be updated.then once your ready I recommend to try out several roms for yourself and see which meets your needs best. Depending on your Rom, different kernels can be tired with the different roms. I'm running paranoid Android by Dragun Korr, it's jelly bean. My kernel is 3.0 51 by Dragun. I really love this rom. It's smooth fast and stable. However I suggest you try out several because everyone is different and has different opinions. It's always best to try for yourself and make your own conclusion. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Remember to do your nandroid backup before flashing so you can return to your old rom if need be. As long as firmware matches.
Have fun and experiment. I also recommend 4ext recovery. Some roms require it. And it's really a great recovery!

at the top it says PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
i went into recovery again and tried with the 3.32 as suggested and again, installation aborted, what am i doing wrong?
by the way, i really appreciate the support, it's a lot easier with this kind of help, and i work as a support member for other stuff so i know how it is..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that is your mistake.see the bold one as marked
upgrading the firmware version it can be done only via bootloader
it is not like roms or kernels.
see again the steps in the link on how to upgrade the firmware.you missed something
and yes you are S-OFF
yeah, it should find the new zip automatically, the problem is that i didn't get that
but you are correct, i tried again and now it worked!
installing new ROM now, finally
hopefully that will go without problems
thanks again
Hi also 4ext recovery is recommended. You can get download on xda or play store. It's really a great recovery and almost all use it. Its very easy to use and I believe some roms require it. You can download after installation of rom. If you have issues with download try 4ext. You won't be sorry. It's a great recovery

thanks,
yes i've been using it since the first guy responded i should try 4ext
not bad, i admit
Hi there.
I strongly suggest Android Revolution HD. I've been using it now for almost 2 weeks and its rock solid.
Its very smooth with decent battery life and you get some sick mods for it!
There is a link to the ROM in my signature.
