Unable to root htc sensation...

I'm trying to root my htc sensation using revolutionary method.. but while it attempts to root, it gives an error "failed to get root"
hboot version is - 1.18.0000
please reply asap..

If you followed this guide try flashing "su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip" again. On my Sensation it worked after 3rd try ;-)

Need more details. Did you unlock bootloader? are you already S-OFF?

Or visit androidsu and get the latest file. I had to do that to get root on a previous rom.

Will try soon and report back...

that guide you gave me the link for... tells me the same thing to do which i was already doing.. In step 1, when I use revolutionary, it gives me that error... I can't get past it... I have rooted my desire many times using this method and it worked flawlessly. but i don't know why it isn't working with sensation ?
any idea ?

What is the error you're getting?

"Failed to get root"

I read somewhere that it happens because of applying the OTA update.. So my question is, If I flash RUU over it and then try again, would it work ?

Follow the steps in the guide you were following s-off with Revolutionary, it make take 5 tries and say it fails but eventually it works, keep looking to see when it says s off. Then put the CWM Recovery zip on your sd card and Super user zip from the guide. Then flash the PMG58IMG zip which is your Recovery, delete the PMG58IMG file from your sd card, then boot into recovery and choose the option for flashing a zip from sd card, navigate to the SU signed zip, it will fail 3 or more times just keep installing it and your done.

Is HTC sync installed/uninstalled? Have you uninstalled any other apps that may attempt to sync when you attach the device?

Need to Downgrade firmware!
Yes it is because of the OTA update, u need to downgrade ur firmware in order to get root on ur sensation. I m also using HTC sensation(India) with the same H.Boot version and cant root as getting the same error "failed to root" untill u downgrade ur firmware.

If you have previously applied an OTA update or unlocked bootloader with htc.dev, then look at this guide for help:

Simple Solution
Go for Tacoroot method..it works...dont worry abt bricking and all..
then do Revolutionary S-off...
Install 4ext recovery
install Superuser...
install suitable firmware
insatall rom...
You might go into bootloops but dont panic...installing ROM will take care of that..
It has worked for me...100% works...TRy...
Go ahead and ROOT...life becomes Awesome after that...

[Q] Htc Sensation stuck on Boot Loop, please help!

Hello Guys, Im new to this forum but I love it! I have a issue with my htc sensation, I tried flashing a Rom and it got stuck in boot loop.
When i press the volume down and power i get this...
-Revolutionary-

hboot 1.27.1100

emmc-boot
jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
now I thought i could fix this since im always flashing roms but at this point ill put any rom on just to get it to work and ill leave it alone forever!
this is what i have all done already
-i already factory reset everything and download the super wipe and flashed it then flashed a rom and noting!
-ive tried using roms that are gingerbread instead of ics and nothing!
-ive tried flashing different roms, and nothing!
-
now here is what i think i dont have the 3.32 firmware but to be completely honest and i have gone to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 but i dont know my cid so idk which one to download but i did try 3 and when i try to flash that zip in recovery it says "aborted" and usually when i put it on the root of the card it doesnt read it like ive read it is suppose to ask you if you want to update..
all i know is when i take the battery out its pg5100
i really need help, ive tried everything and i know its fixable i dont wanna give up!
so any help will be great! in advance thank you so much! im loosing sleep trying to fix it this!

I'm assuming you didn't flash the firmware yet right? The easiest way to flash a firmware is to get super cid (11111111). Go hereand follow step 4. Then you can flash this without worrying. The second link is just to the 3.32 firmware.

didn't you super CID? try to super CID...follow fourth step here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
then get the 3.32 firmware. your CID will be 11111111 so anyone will work for you.

Ya seems as though all of the links are down grab a 3.32 firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Just place the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd and press the volume down and power the phone should automatically detect the zip and ask to update. Make sure you have a good amount of battery.

Does your bootloader say fastboot USB?
Look mate, your Hboot ver is 1.27 S OFF Revolutionary which means you have the right firmware installed. If you really want to be helped, tell me what recovery you're using.

Good. You will now be installing 4ext recovery.
After recovery has been installed, reboot to recovery.
Select wipe|format.
Select format all partitions except SD Card.
Then install your ROM.

It's "PG58IMG.zip" not P"S"G58IMG.zip. If the name is incorrect, then it won't work.
You cannot do it from recovery, you must do it only from bootloader.
The reason I'm insisting on 4EXT is because it's much easier to use.
Follow my instructions properly.
And if you find all this difficult, just go to my tool, link in signature.
When it asks you to connect in HTC Sync mode with debugging enabled, just boot to recovery instead.

Phone not starting to a OS

Guys i really need your help.
My Phone:
HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile USA
Was running ICS and was rooted
This is what comes up in HBoot:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
Long story short:
I rooted my phone being S-ON
then i tried doing S-OFF using Juopunutbear method
and now the phone doesnt start and goes on loop
tried doin recovery but nothing works on the boot thingy !
Here is the long story if you want to know all the details:
I unlocked the Bootloader of my Sensation using the HTC dev site.
Then I rooted my phone using this method(keeping S-ON):

After that i used my rooted phone for a while till i decided to S-OFF using this guide:

After tht I ran Juopunutbear S-OFF(Step 6) my device restarted and went on the Juopunutbear loop and it stays there(waited fr a long time).
what i really think is that i messed up and kinda skipped step 2(Restore to Stock 3.32 Rooted ROM) and 3(Flash boot.img from Stock 3.32 Rooted ROM in Fastboot) of the guide.
then i pulled out my battery and tried starting it again but still it keeps on showin the Juopunutbear(with a HD) loop type thingy.
then i tried backing up from boot but whatever i press doesnt work and the device just restarts
i tried recovery and everything else but no use, it just restarts
is it possible to start from scratch ?
Can u Please Please help me out !
I really need this phone to get up and start working with everything rooted and S-OFF.

see the soff process takes you to that screen
and you need to do wire trick there ...
if you got unsuccessful in wire trick ...you need to revert back to normal working state (i.e. trouble shoot point 4 i've mentioned)
what you did is ran controlbear until half ...and without reverting back to normal ..you tried to do other stuff which will obviously wont work
next stipe follow the steps

deamon not running ..means adb failed to detect your phone

Bricked htc sensation (vodafone)

Hello there,
I currently have a problem whereas my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo. I only unlocked the bootloader and I tried flashing a recovery with a htc all in one toolkit, this didn't work for me so I tried flashing it manually and this didn't work either. I need to somehow get a recovery on this phone else I might be bricked :/.
Anyone have any advice?

Can you access the bootloader?

Yes that is the only thing, and when I do a factory reset I can acces CWM, that's all there is. I have acces to a micro SD if that helps. Currently on clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0.
I want to try to copy the viper 3.0.1 rom on my sd, put it back in my phone and flash that. Would that work? I didn't have S-off yet.

Okey, so CWM is working but you can't access Android.
If that's the case you should try to run a RUU (it is carrier specific if you have a branded phone!).
Or you can S-OFF it, make yourself SuperCID and then flash a ROM. (This will most likely void your warenty)

My main language isn't english, thats why it is hard to understand how to get S-off. I tried having a look at Juopunutbears method but I got stuck because you needed root first. And I thought that i had to get root by flashing cwm. I would love to root this phone and install custom roms, I can always go back with an RUU. Can you tell me what the next step is?

May I ask what your main language is?
I'm not sure but it may be enoigh if you just flash supersu libs with CWM and then try juopunut's method. It may work even if you can't boot in your ROM.
For the RUU you'll have to google for "Htc sensation ruu vodafone" together with you country. Or you could look up your CID over fastboot by typing in fastboot getvar cid and then combine the cid with your search request. This would be the safest Method.

My main language is dutch, Where can i find supersu libs? I'll try that out and then go for Juopunut's method.

Only thing I need to get now is root so I can start doing the juopunut method
edit: Clockworkmod wont let me mount the usb storage OR mount the SD card. So theres that..

Download this zip http://download.chainfire.eu/204 , put it on your SD and flash it with CWM. Then try Juopunut.

You'll have to look up your bootloader version. You can see it in the bootloader on the top. If the number is 1.2xxxx then you have to do this method. If it's 1.1xxxxx then there is a much esier method to get S-OFF.

Just do juopunut without the temp root. As far as I can remember you don't have to access the OS in order to get S-OFF.

Everything went well, flashed the superuser, went to use the program to get S-off, tried using the wire trick but it failed a few times. Turned it off and had to leave, after that won't come on again, won't boot at all. I'll plug it in the wall overnight and see what happens.

It worked! I am now locked and s-off on hboot 1.27.
Left the phone plugged in without battery/sd/sim and it booted up again this morning.
I am now S-off but every time i try to flash a rom I keep getting into the juopunutbear screen.

probably you need to use the temproot bat.file to remove temproot

Probably won't work. Had exactly the same problem he has. First I flashed this Frimware (3.33) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (don't forget to set SuperCID before that!) and then I wiped my phone, formated System and flashed the ROM I wanted to have. I hope it'll work for you.

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck with Android Kit-Kat after brick

Hello,
I have a HTC sensation, that i started rooting and install a custom rom - Kitkat from sultanxda.
All worked perfectly, only that one day i wanted to make a sim unlock, because it was locked in Vodafone Romania.
By mistake, i am not an expert, i've used the comand: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
After this i've got my phone bricked...
I've found Unbriking projet on xda, and with a Linux I have managed on unbriking.
The problem is that now i have S-ON, and i cannot install another ROM, it works only with the ROM that wass installed before bricking.
I cannot get S-off, i have tried Juopunutbear method, but its not working, says to connect the device, and install drivers...
I have tried a lot of method's, i've tried installing a stock RUU, without luck...
I guess that i have to modify my firmware or hboot version, but as I was saying, i am no expert.
I can provide more information, if anyone can help me.
thanks

since it is unlocked you can still flash kitkat rom
just follow step 2 from this guide(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash(because now you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
but if you still want to use the ruu.exe you must have to relock your bootloader first

then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash(because now you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
but if you still want to use the ruu.exe you must have to relock your bootloader first[/QUOTE]

nope i gave you a ruu with higher firmware but the same region as yours
i don't know what is wrong
did you try both of them ?
edit: unlock the bootloader again and try flashing a rom from recovery

i think i made a mistake first time, i used a ruu.exe with same firmware 3.24, it was an older one i had in downloads
now i try with the first one u gave me... hope it works

finally, i managed installing the ruu.exe u gave me, i hope that now i can get s-off... and make simunlock..
i will use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
thx you for helping me
i made a big mistake, as i was trying with the ruu.exe with the same firmware as i had, that is why i got that signature error.
the ruu.exe u gave me, made the upgrade and it works now )
i am so happy... i've tryed for 2 weeks on solving the problem.
