[Guide] Root Official ICS ROM HBoot 1.27.000 Easely without S-Off

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 .
Note: Sorry for My Bad English.

I would like to confirm the information above. Just rooted an unlocked EU version of Sensation XE running the 4.0.3 and hboot 1.27.000. Everything worked as supposed.
Kudos TheSnakeX!

This is how u do it on every Hboot. OLD news
And u dont have to use that ONE X tool.
Just HTCDEV unlock your phone (this whill void your waranty)
Download CWR in PG58IMG.zip
Extract the recovery.img from PG58IMG.zip
open command propt and do a "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot your phone in recovery and flash SU
Done your root

I would thank all of you for your thanks and replays
I want to remind you that I said that I'm not sure if this was old news or new, but I can see that people are benefiting from this method.
One X toolkit is to maake everything easier. Every command is one click away.:thumbup:

just a question:choosing unlock bootloader from htc dev,I lost my warranty?Thanks

Not entirely. The HTC's disclaimer is interpretable. At least this is my take on that: if unlocking the bootloader you mess up your phone by overclocking it, they will make you pay for any repair. But if - let say- some buttons begin to malfunction they will repair under warranty because that would be manufacturing flaw. This will change of course ASAP someone will come with some straightforward noobproof method to undo the unlocking ;o)

My device just verified that my sensation has been rooted. Thank you, it's working on hboot 1.27.000
Htc Sensation Vodafone Turkey

Now ICS with S-On it only way for S-OFF and Root must be first is unlocked boot loader by office HTC_Dev so you may lost your warranty. Is it correct ?

Unlocking the bootloader might void your warranty.
Yet, I bricked my sensation long time ago, it was rooted and S-off. And when I took it to HTC care they replaced the motherboard on the warranty, which means that if they discover that it was unlocked (soft brick) they will not repair it otherwise they will.
If for example there was some other problem in your phone, and you still can log into your bootloader, then I think using the same method from HTCdev, you can relock your bootloader and reflush the RUU package.
For now we can root RUU ICS roms while S-ON using this method. To make it S-Off you need to see this thread [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF by Mr.globatron

This error occurs if you had your mainboard replaced by HTC. It causes an IMEI <-> SN missmatch or something similar.

HTCdev Unlock bootloader
HI,
I wonder if someone can give me confirmation for peace of mind..
I was reading through the small prints in the htc unlocker, and it says that all personal data and installed softwares will be erased to protect personal data by carring out the unlock procedure.
The very reason I wanted to root the phone was so that I could install clockworks and the likes that allow me to do full backup of the phone (and remove bloatware), and those software's requirement are that I am rooted.
IN order to root, I will lose everything installed on my phone? What about apps i have purchased through the market?
Does my google account somehow remember that I have purchased it before, and allow me to download the same apps again without charge?
Or is it that the unlocking procedure does not mess with my installed apps and all personal data?
I hope it is the latter, otherwise it means that people are going ahead with unlocks at the cost of hassle incurred from setting up your phone again....
Someone have simple answer?
Thanks

Finally found a way to get rooted, thank you very much!
Great Job and credits to all who helped get this to work.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
Now rooted thanks to you!!!!
Many thanks

Can you install custom roms after applying this method?

[Q] How to Install Stock Rom

Hello, I just bought my HOX AT&T yesterday. It is used phone. That phone has Cleanrom 3.1 Standart Edition ROM. I want to use Stock Rom for AT&T but I don't know how to install ROM. I have never installed any rom to any phone and not rooted any phone. I am using that phone in Europe and I have a unlock code, I unlocked this device and using it with Cleanrom now. Could you help me for this situation? Sorry for my english.

first you need to relock the boot loader
You might want to start by reading my guide to adb and fastboot commands
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
after you've locked your bootloader you can download and install the stock ROM from HTC.it can be found here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/software-updates

Just thought i'd bump this up instead of starting a new thread.
Anyone know where i can get the stock ROM for Telstra AU HOXL?
Ive searched the HTC AU site i cant find anything like the link above.

He should probably flash the stock odex zip instead of ruu. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920424

HELP!!!! Please

Hey Guys,
My phone is stuck on the HTC logo with the little red message about development blah blah blah........... What do I do????

That depends on what you did or what you were trying to do.

You gotta give us more than that. Are you rooted? Unlocked boot loader? Can you reach recovery (hold down bottom volume rocker and power button)? If so, go to recovery, and use the 1.85 RUU found in the development section. Make sure your phone is in recovery.

Ok tried running 1.85 RUU while in Recovery (TWRP) still erroring out. I'm unlocked and rooted. Any ideas??????????????

nonono. dont do the ruu when you are in recovery. instead of going to recovery in bootloader, go to fastboot. then on pc fastboot oem lock and run ruu, this will most likely fix your problem. whether or not you're problem can be fixed with an easier solution i do not know.

Thanks man finally!! Now how would i go about rooting again and flashing a rom since the phone is not rooted and locked again??? Sorry for newb questions iphone user for 6 yrs.... Thanks for all your help!!

do you still have the unlock_code.bin file from when you unlocked it? if not on your computer check your email cuz htc emailed them to you. then boot phone into fastboot and fastboot oem unlock with the unlock code. then look in some of the stickies for how to root 1.85 to get a batch file that flashes cwm for you automatically. once you flash cwm, flash the super user root file to root it. then you're good to go!! however i recommend you immediately install twrp over cwm.

Yeah I don't know why in the age of TWRP people still use CWM. Unless your ROM requires it that is. Swiping vs messing around with the volume button, nuff said

not sure how to remove the "tampered" status but i got it back to stock using RRU method and load a stock Rogers Rom. you need to re-lock it before using RRU. my status now is Tampered and Relock.

Did you use the 1.94 RUU or did you try to Flash the 1.73 original?

You must root on 1.85. Scripts don't work on any other version.

Best way to root at this moment would be to unlock your bootloader using HTCDEV and flash TWRP recovery and then flash CleanRom 4.5 which will give you root as long as you kepp that rom on your phone. There could be other roms out there that will give you root access but I've flashed a few and CleanRom 4.5 was the only one that got me rooted. Until they come up with a way to perm root on 1.94 I suggest using this method.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can root with any ROM.

If you unlock and flash a recovery-
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
and you cant get it to boot the custom recovery heres the trick, after you flash the recovery type
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

[Q] Please help me get my ATT HTC One X up-to-date.

I bought the phone when it first came out. Play around with unlock bootloader, root and custom roms. I Currently have an older version of CM running on the phone with custom recovery.
I haven't touch the phone for months, and certainly I havent follow the forum for a long time. Recently I wanted to start use this phone again. I would like some help to get this phone up-to-date again.
1. Is there a way to turn this phone to the latest stock configuration? I will follow the forum to unlock, s-off, root again. But I wanted to turn it back to stock completely with latest firmware and all.
2. what are the latest version of radio, kernel, stock rom version and so on? how can I get them?
3. Any instruction would help.
My questions may sound very noob, but I hope someone can point me to the right way.

flash a sense rom.
S-off
Ruu to latest.. with s-off bootloader can remain unlocked.
Flash a recovery ( nothing higher than twrp 2.3.3.1 cause of wiping issues)
Then flash a rom.
Hopefully that gets you on track

Thanks for your reply.
All I pretty much did was fastboot oem lock.
then try to connect to computer and run RUU. (I was told this is the way to restore the phone back to stock completely).
now all i can do is boot into bootloader. can't go in recovery can't boot into system.
I am looking for some to restore this phone completely to stock. (I don't need unlock or root).
I am only looking to make this phone an test phone for an new app that we are developing.
thank you

He told you how to get to stock here. I don't see relocking in there anywhere so why would you relock? You can relock the phone after s-off and ruu. This phone will brick if you have supercid and ruu or update to 3.18 so returning completely stock is difficult to say the least.
