[GUIDE][2.3.4 OFFICIAL HTC S-OFF ROOT] Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2

THIS IS FOR UNBRANDED 401 PHONES ONLY! IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT TRY...
Update 2011/08/14
Added more information and details
Renamed thread into GUIDE
Using this guide will reset your device into a vanilla 2.3.4 HTC Sensation phone. Your SD-Card wont be touched and you will have S-OFF and root. This will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader. I tested these steps and i have a 2.3.4 401 Sensation with Locked HBOOT, S-OFF and root.
If you want S-OFF & ROOT on the latest HTC 2.3.4 ROM follow the steps:
1) Backup
2) Get S-OFF on 2.3.3 (Guide Thread)
3) Recover your phone with original 2.3.3 Update

4) Update to 2.3.4 via "Over The Air" (OTA) or using OpenRecovery (OR). I did not use the OR-Method but you can find a lot of information about here. I do not advertise any guides for the OR-method since i did not test them myself.
4) Execute step 2.1 to 2.6 from the Sensation Guide (Guide Thread)
5) Get root again: Sensation Guide 3.1 to 3.12 (Guide Thread)
Have fun!

How? Can some please explain step by step?
Thanks

anyone have a change log? google failed me for once in my life

The 2.3.4 update include an new hboot Version 1.18...
Are u sure that u can install cwm and root the phone again after applying the update?
I think u will be s-on again after the hboot get changed...

Everything I'm reading (the two other threads about this update) says the above method will NOT work. I don't think the OP even tried. Wait for a real dev to cook this up.

Oh boy Some of use knew this was gonna happen
do not flash this to a stock rooted rom - it will **** it up - wait for your favourite dev to update their rom
flashing this will give you the new locked htc bootloader and you will not be s-off anymore (even though it still says you are)
it's taken me nearly 3 hours to get back to normal

EddyOS said:
When I say I'm S-OFF again, I mean I'm back to my old 2.3.3 ROM before I flashed the new update.
Everyone, DO NOT TRY AND FLASH THIS OVER YOUR ROOTED PHONE - WAIT FOR YOUR ROM TO BE UPDATED BY THE DEVS

Hi all,
I've just done this update
Backup with Titanium
Reflash with 2.3.3 stock ROM (my Sensation was already S-Off)
OTA update to 2.3.4
ClockWork Recovery
Root
Restore with Titanium
Reboot and that's it

No OTA
I did exactly like shown in the first post, but i wont get the update ota. It sais that my phone is actually actual.
Could I have done something wrong?
Got the Sensation from T-mobile -> debrandet it like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
And used the RUU version from the first post.
Thanks

done as suggested - works fine for me!

I was off this weekend.
I posted this howto cause i did it with my phone. Whyever would i post a guide when it does not work?!
Using this guide will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader.
At least thats the case for me.

Are you sure you can't flash the eng hboot too?

no - i did not try to.
I am pretty happy with my phone right now. Fast and long battery pack - replaced Sense with LP.

When testing the early (pre-soff) custom roms and test recoverys I had to flash stock RUUs a couple of times.
To get the phone back into a decent state I needed to pg58 flash eng&unsecured boot then root and fastboot recovery.
Can't for the life of me think why anyone would s-off their phone then install stock/ota for any reason (bar repair). It's like buying a track day race car, shouting "look what I've got" then pushing it around rather than thrashing it.

If you just flash the new hboot, it will say lock at the top of the bootloader screen. But you should be able to flash eng hboot, cause I just tried it.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed the hboot from the OTA before flashing it so couldn't confirm for myself. There's been a lot of conflicting information about whether phones are still S-OFF after running the unmodified OTA but it appears that they are. I only ran the RUU then OTA so I could have a backup of a stock 1.45 system.img.

Np, i was trying to figure out how to flash pg2fs_spcustom.img and I found out that the only way to do it was to flash the new hboot first than it would read that pg2fs img.

Confused about firmware and need a little help.

Firs of all i am a noob I've bought a sensation (a second hand - unlocked and with energy gingerbread custom rom). Now i want to flash an ICS rom but confused about firmware. As i am using a gingerbread rom my firmware is the 1.17 one as far as i understand. I will flash 3.24 Unlocked one but am confused. When i type commands:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid
get htc_622 for cid and PG5813000 for mid.
Do i need to superCID to flash the 3.24 firmware?

If you go there and look for the packages that match your CID, you don't have to SuperCID. Saves a little bit of time. Just find your CID and download the 3.24 unlocked version. Pop it onto the root of your sd card "/" (the main folder). Reboot while holding volume down to get into the bootloader, it'll ask if you want to update. Hit volume up, it'll update, complete, then you just delete the PG58IMG off your SD usually via a card reader. After that, boot again into the bootloader and select recovery, if you don't delete the PG58IMG, you won't be able to do this. From the recovery, wipe data and cache, then choose your rom.
I'm sure you know a good but about this but I like to have all the instructions in one place for someone to quickly glance over.

[Q] HTC Sensation XE update to Android 4 failed

Hi
I've recently bought the Sensation XE which was SIMLOCK to T-mobile network.
I've follow this tutorial to root and remove simlock.
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Now when I try to do software update to Android 4 OTA from HTC I can download the update and when phone reboot it freezes with " ! " on the screen.
After this I have to remove the battery and power on the phone and it boots in Android 2.3.4
Can someone tell me how to upgrade to ICS from HTC ?

Have you set your CID/MID correctly?

No, I've stop after step3. and didn't set CID because I've rooted the phone and remove simlock so I can use SIM Card from other GSM provider.
Do I have to continue to step 4 ?

You have to have the stock recovery installed on your Sensation. It will not flash with Clockwork Mod Recovery or any other custom recovery.

OK, so lets start from the beginning...
Which ROM are you currently running on? Did you flash a new RUU? If so, you will also need to change your CID/MID to get the new update

In software information there is:
Android version 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.0
Software number 1.73.401.4
Kernel version 2.6.35.13-g2299e28
[email protected] #1
Baseband version 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
Build number 1.73.401.4 CL161971 release-keys
I didn't install custom RUU.
In a process of removing SIMLOCK I've also follow this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
metod 2.

I got a question cause I am not really sure from your first post. Did you download the OTA update via a notification for the update on your Sensation? Or did you download the OTA file to your computer either from XDA or another site?

I've download the OTA update via a notification for the update on my Sensation.

Guys
Any idea?

I've fix it!
I've flash it with RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe
and after that I've update to ICS with OTA update.
Thanks for your help!

Rooted phones can't update to stock via OTA. During the root process your recovery has changed from stock to custom. That's why you got ! and can't install the update. Installing RUU your recovery came back to stock again and that's why you successfully installed the update after that.

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am having HTC Sensation XE with
Android 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.0
Software number 1.73.707.4
Baseband version 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
I have rooted my phone with Revolutionary tool and I am able to use ABD command.
Now the problem is I got the latest android 4.X upgrade via the upgrade utility and it failed to upgrade. (Got ! symbol and restarting the mobile came back to 2.3.4 Android)
As per the instruction I tried running the RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed.exe file to fix the issues. (I am from Malaysia, so I selected the Asia files).
But I ended up with a error stating that my battery power is less than 30% and it failed. I tried the exe file with the mobile in fully booted way and in the boot loader level (by holding power button + volume key). But nothing did the magic.
From the log I am to see that some thing is getting failed. "<T002411><DEBUG><OUT>- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -</OUT>"
Attached the log file also.
Please help me.
Thanks

But i have, i've tried several options, Charger Only, Disk Drive, HTC Sync, but none of them helped, not even turning on/off usb debugging mode.
so is there anywhere step by step instructions how to flash ? i couldn't find it

I Give Up With ICS - Can I Revert Back To Gingerbread (Please)

Firstly thanks to everyone who give their time to help
My tech skills are useless, all these terms s-off, s-on, roms etc
is above my pay grade, my brain is fried i am jumping from thread to thread
trying to fix my wifi issue and it's driving me dilly.
I am on Android 4.0.3 - Sense 3.6, phone is rooted HTC-Dev and Flashed 4EXT.
I have been trying to fix the WiFi issue but im getting nowhere, i give up.
Can i revert back to Gingerbread?
Is there a step by step guide?
Help Appreciated
Thanks

1st: are you s-on or s.off?
If you are s-off you can extract the rom.zip from the appropriate GB RUU (but you dont tell what is) then rename it PG58IMG. Put in the root of your sd card (not in a folder) and reboot the device while holding down volume+ power button.
PG58IMG willbe automatically recognized and start to do its things. Then you will be prompted if you want to upgrade. Say yes by pushing volume up.
Wait untill the entire process is done and prompted to reboot (it may reboot itself a couple of times during the process, just do nothing and wait).
At the end of process you will be back to GB and need to set the phone like new. You will lose all data and settings.
Hope it helps.

How do i know if i'm S-off or S-on?
Used HTCDev to unlock bootloader then flashed 4EXT and something called
CWM-SuperSU-v0.96?
Thanks
This is the method i used:

Good day my dear friends,
Boring Intro------
Yesterday I was trying to root my wife's HTC Sensation which I upgraded to Official Middle East ICS 4.0.3 hboot 1.27.000 and I found this way by pure luck-----
I installed CMW and did the rooting while the device is S-ON
I'm not sure if this is a new method or was done before but I thought I'd share it to return some of your favors in this great forum.
I need to thank Mr.hasoon2000 because we will use his tol from the HTC One X forum.
Requirements:
1. Download the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 from this link, Thanks Mr.hasoon2000 I hope you don't mind me using your tool here.
2. Download the latest CMW recovery , choose the latest for Pyramid (The Sensation) in *.img. Here is the CMW 5.8.0.9 link.
3. Download SuperSU 0.88.zip, thanks Mr.Chainfire or from this link [23.04.2012] SuperSU v0.88.
Step By Step Method:
1. Copy the SupperSU.zip file to your SD root.
2. Extract the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 to the Disktop.
3. Connect your Mobile and make sure you're in the charging mood and your check USB development or debugging option.
4. Run the One X.exe application.
5. Install the HTC drivers.
****If you unlocked your Sensation's bootloader from HTCdev.com then skip step 6 ****
6. Register in HTCdev.com website, choose Unlock Bootloader, choose your device and follow the instructions. ~This May Void your Warranty~
7. Rename the CWM recovery to CWM5827, then copy it to HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit folder/Data folder/recoveries and replace the one inside.
8. Flush the CWM recovery using the toolkit, horray you installed CWM.
9. From Commands choose Boot into recovery and from CWM flush the SuperSU.zip.
10. Congratulations, You're Now ROOTED .

Unthick fastboot from your phone (should be under settings-Battery) Then reboot phone while holding volume down + power buttons and read what the bootloader says.
Or pull out and reinsert battery, then power up the phone while holding down volume

remove battery from phone
Remove any memory card installed in phone
put battery back into phone
press volume down..
While pressing volume down
Press power button...
Continue pressing both Until you enter bootloader
You will see white screen, print lots of writing in different colored text, but the top line will say 's-on' or 's-off'

By the way I dont understand why you want to go back to GB. Once you are back you will be prompted to update to ICS again!.
Why dont you run directly a stock ICS RUU and see it it solves your issue?. In case you are S-On that would be the easiest way (the RUU).

If you want to go back to the way the phone was when you first got it, no root or anything, use an RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
That's everything you need to know. Basically run a program in Windows with the phone plugged in and it'll do all the work for you.

OK guys looks like i'm S-ON

No, if you are s-on the easiest way is to run the appropriate RUU.exe (still ICS not GB). But first you need to make some search and detect what is the right RUU for you according to your country, cid and mid.
When you will find it, just download the exe and, plug your phone to the pc and execute the RUU.exe
You cannot go back to GB as you are S-On.
RUU works for either the same software version or up not down.

[GUIDE] Back to Stock ICS for k2u & k2ul with S-Off

Back to Stock ICS for k2u & k2ul with S-Off
Hi there, as there are different news, we will get one more major update, there is a need to get back to the stock rom, cause otherwise the update will fail. Or maybe you want to sell your device or need to return for warranty, so you also need a stock phone.
And there is nothing more stock out there, than a RUU. But as we have no Jelly Bean RUU, we need to get the ICS RUU running to downgrade hboot first!
So we provide here an almost easy way to go to this condition and you only have to follow these steps, but do it careful, cause we need to downgrade hboot for that and this is very dangerous for your phone, if you are doing something wrong!
This guide is provided to you, with the help of Matlevo12, who made the files you need for downgrading hboot and tested the way. So give him a thanks for it!
This only works for "free" phones (unbranded) or if you have Supercid.
Credits:
- kmdm for his ruuveal
- Matlevo12 for creating and testing the "downgrade files"
- rollon76 & Jmz for suggestions
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Notice:
- This guide is for european k2u & k2ul. Don't do this on other HTC One SV devices, this will brick your phone.
- Be careful and download the correct file, check the md5 sum to get sure, the download is not corrupted.
- Make a backup of important files, before you do this, they are lost afterwards!
- This will not reset your CID, if you have changed it to SuperCID. So if you have SuperCID, follow this guide to change it back before you doing this! Your phone must be unbranded then.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't do this, if you are not experienced enough for it. You will do this on your own risk and we are not responsible for bricked devices!!!
Requirements:
- a phone with S-Off -> yes, you need S-Off (if you don't have it, look here for ICS and there for JB to get it.)
- the correct file for downgrading hboot
- the correct RUU for your device
- some time and coffee and some knowledge about fastboot commands

Download:
(be sure to download the right files for your device!)
For k2u (without LTE):
- k2uhbootdowngrade(renametoPL80IMG.zipbeforeuse).zip --> for downgrading hboot

md5 sum: 44f4acc65d299d8aa5b0da533515e421
- ICS RUU for k2ul
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to:
To downgrade hboot:
1.) Download the fitting zip file for your device
2.) Rename the file to PL80IMG.zip
3.) Copy it to your sdcard (external not internal)
4.) Reboot into bootloader and hit volume up when prompted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You maybe need to go to Settings -> Power first and untick the Fast boot (scroll down, last point on the page) that you can boot into bootloader!
To boot into bootloader:
If your phone is off, you need to power on & hold vol- at the same time.
Now the hboot should be downgraded to hboot 1.0 and most tricky part is done.
To flash RUU:
5.) Reboot your phone and connect it to pc
6.) Run the downloaded RUU.exe (you maybe have to start it as administrator) and follow the steps provided by HTC
If the RUU won't flash, relock your bootloader with fastboot cmd:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After the RUU was running through you have stock ICS boot.img, recovery and system files installed. You are still S-Off, but with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader.
If you wanna get S-On, follow now step 7.) & 8.).
If you wanna update, now you can restart your phone and search for updates. Install one by one (first will be the jb updates) until you don't get update offers anymore.
If you want to get your device S-On:
7.) Connect your phone to pc and boot into fastboot mode.
8.) Open fastboot command window on your pc and type the following command:
Code:

Now you should be S-On.

CID error
Can anyone help me?
It is normal to use just a little leg and can't flash rom.
How should I do now?
Thanks much.

When do you get that cid error ?
What cid are you ?

my CID is Orange1 or something similar, can I still use this method to be able to get myself an unbranded version of JB on the device?

Conan_troutman :
Well no, use the "unbrand your phone..." guide in the same section.

I think this only work for "free" phones or if you have supercid.

Your phone is branded, unbrand it first if you want to, or downgrade using files from your brand's ruu.
Why do you want to downgrade ?

Thanks much

Thanks much again for reply.
At first, I must say that my English is not good enough, sorry.
Downgrade just for 2 way recording, because I need this function very much on the business. When 4.0.4, it's ok, but update to 4.1.2 it is unable to use.
Now, my phone can also be used, but not smooth.
How to unbrand it (sorry, Idon't understand what does branded mean) or what Ican do now?
Dear Matlevo12, Thanks very much.

S-off and RUU update went smooth but I no longer can enter Recovery menu. It shows an exclamation mark surounded by red triangle.
k2ul unbranded phone here and used RUU update file acording to my phone model.

Which S-off?
I upgraded to JB and want to bring ICS back. Old.splatterhand, you said we need S-off so which one do I need please?
Thanks a lot for sharing! :good:

As you are on JB you must use Moonshine S-off.

Thank you! Hope it will work...

Hello all, sorry for bothering you again old.splatterhand, but before doing it I want to be sure I'm understanding things in the right way.
So after step 6, I will be done and should have ICS back, that's it? Thanks

Yes, it's pretty clear :
After the RUU was running through you have stock ICS boot.img, recovery and system files installed. You are still S-Off, but with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader.
If you wanna get S-On, follow now step 7.) & 8.).

Alright then, thank you Matlevo12!

Pure JB Rom, Kernel, Recovery, etc.
I got the JB stock Rom, Kernel, Recovery, etc. Just got to place it on your external sdcard. Its completely fresh without touching it. Just like you gotit from the box. This is for k2_cl, it may work for others but not tested. Need atleast 1.02 gigs available on external sdcard. Once placed there just boot into custom recovery. I used TWRP and I recommend it. Not a fan of CWM. Once in recovery just click on restore then select the pure JB folder. It comes with MD5 files so be sure to check the verification box so when doing this it will confirm its integrity prior to proceeding further. After verification it will proceed on and wipe everything out as it restores. Then reboot. Keep in mind that this is a fresh 4.1.2 JB stock. You will lose root but you can easily get it back by downloading supersu on Google play. Voila. Will have to upload tonight then will share resource on here. Once available have at it. I don't request credit for it or anything. Just want it out there for people who messed there phone up or failed to get a copy for themselves.

There are already copies of this for k2_cl in old.splatterhand's thread in original android development
