Hello
Phone: Sensation XE, 4.0.3 Android, 3.6 UI, Stock ROM, Locked (unROOTed)
So, I'm having a problem with my UI in HTC - it stops working very often. Usually when I'm unplugging the USB cable or changing the mode to Charge only.
I can root the phone and install custom ROM but I don't want to lose all the files [or if you guys can give me some program to back up my stuff, so I could put it on my PC]. Everything is ready to do it (the chinese program to root the phone and the vipers custom ROM is already on my SD card [dont even know if i will lose it after rooting).
But will it help to fix the problem? Because I was thinking that if the UI stops working, so maybe I have to install new one (4.1 included in Vipers ROM, i guess).
And by the way, can you tell me when I would loose the files? (wile rooting or installing the ROM?)
Cheers, Michael.
if you follow the S-OFF procedure backup all your contents from your sdcard to the pc
when you root after S-OFF you sdcard will be untouched
also when you flash the rom will be again untouched

when you do S-OFF you unlock all device's partitions
then you can root and flash a custom recovery
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
by the way how were you going to root it?
The program is called ZhuoDaShi. I accidentally uninstalled the program, because everything is in chinese LOL! I thought I'm launching the program.
But do you think i should download this program again or I shouldn't be bothered and pick different one? (Maybe you could give it)
About the S-OFF, will my 32GB SD card be ok with it?

Hi there again.
I've got a problem with rooting the phone.
So, my phone is S-OFF (it says in hboot) and its locked.
My problem is that I can't unlock it. I have downloaded super user (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) and i installed it through hboot/recovery and it installed everything, but i still dont have root rights and in hboot menu it says S-OFF ... LOCKED
Have I done something wrong?

ignore the locked situation
you can flash a patched hboot.see here

flash 3.33 universal
it has instructions on how to flash it
and before flashing check md5 sums
about root flash this from recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/315/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip
then see if you have root access
MD5?
I searched internet for it... Still dont know. But Ive donwloaded MD5 Checker and there are 2 options: file 1-file 2 ::and:: text - MD5 / MD5 - text
What should I be looking at?
EDIT:
OK, wait. I know whats MD5 (a bit). So i checked the code from the file i have downloaded - the firmware. It should be same as my firmware?
If so... how can I take my firmware and put it on the pc to check it in the program?

do this
put the firmware zip into the root of your sdcard
then from your device use any file manager you have and navigate to that zip
press and hold in that zip until it pops up a menu
go to properties and select calculate md5 checksum or something like that
then see if it matches with the one from firmware's thread
can I ask a very nooby question?
my steps of which files I should install now are;
1. hboot that u gave me link
2. flash 3.33 - same link
3. another link with super user after installing the files before ?
ok I checked the md5 for flash 3.33 on my phone - its the same as given on the forum
so I should just install it step by step with points that I showed you?
once again, sorry for that question, shouldn't waist Ur time
I still need help! Please

hi, mate sorry for the late
so if you say that md5 sums are matching then:
flash 3.33 firmware.it will take care too for the patched hboot
after that flash the superuser zip from recovery
done
No worrys. Thanks.
I'm just changing to other sd - I have all root files needed on it.
Tell me, why do I need to flash those 2 files (3.33 and su-update) if I already made the root?
But there's one more question bothering me; how can md5 be different on other devices IF its still the same file?
And how should I know if my md5 is different if other users don't give md5 to their files?
I think it was the last question.
Many thanks and best wishes

the 3.33fw gives you also patced hboot as i said
that means you can perform fastboot commands(with locked bootloader you can't)
if you are already rooted then don't use the su zip
1)i don't know.the only thing i know is if you modify a zip file then the md5 is changing too
2)especially in firmware thread it will always give md5 sums for matching because if it is different(bad download or corrypted file)
the device will probably bricked
now if you have installed a recovery try to flash a custom rom
all custom roms comes already rooted
Ok. In hboot it says firmware 3.33
But I still don't have root rights.
What I should do now is install the:
1. Su update (that you gave me) - through; hboot, racovery, install zip files
And if I will have root rights
2. Install custom rom - the same way as step one
AND ALL OF IT WITHOUT CLEARING SD CARD AND MOBILE?

yeap try to flash su file from recovery
then see if you have root permissions
otherwise flash a custom rom(thet are pre-rooted as i mentioned before)
follow these steps for flashing rom
1)backup your current rom just in case(nandroid backup)
2)format all partitions except sdcard
3)flash the rom
done
by the way what recovery did you install?

I flashed the su and after it - I could give root permission for applications.
I installed CynaogenMod 10.1 and I dont like it, because a bit of stuff does not work.
Now Im waiting untill DarkSense will be downloaded.
Im using CWM that came with Rom Menager.
By the way, do you know whats the best solution to keep all my contacts and apps for every rom? (i know that i should restore my old rom and than use the solution [that i wish u would give me], but its still worth it)
And what kernel would u pick to save as much battery as possible?
CHEERS

for your contacts you can use mobile backup 2.it is free in google play store
most users are using titanium backup for apps when they are switching roms.me personally i have never used it
about kernel it depends from your personal usage and what settings will you do(overclock,UV etc)
so long i am using sebastianFM's kernel.i am happy with it

Alright, so I got this phone a week ago. First off, I am loving it. Screw Apple.
Anyway, first thing I wanted to do was root it so I can debloat all of T-Mobile's poop applications they cram inside of it.
I've read places that HBOOT 1.45.0013 isn't rootable. I've read it IS rootable, but only with S-OFF on a previous HBOOT. And I've read that it is rootable, but you can't get S-OFF after root.
I've used HTC's unlock tool, which went successful because I flashed CWM through fastboot. I've tried HTC Supertool, MrRoot, and Revolutionary (which says it isn't compatible)
My question then is, which of the above statements is true? If it is rootable, I don't care about S-OFF too much. But I can't ever find a guide that tells me how to root it with this current HBOOT.
Halp pl0x? <3
If you download the Superuser zip (just google superuser android or something), you can flash it in recovery to get root. Alternatively, download a ROM with root preloaded (DS-mod is essentially stock with root and a few other standard root things added in) and flash it.

What's the difference in flashing Superuser, and downloading it from the Market?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
It won't install correctly if you do it while the system is on and live (through the market) you have to do it while the operating system is not running (through clockworkmod)
Afterwards, it's fine to update through the market, but the initial install will fail if done on a running version of Android.

..Huh, just flashed Superuser. Weird that it's that easy. All the other threads were like "omg HBOOT 1.45.0013 can't be rooted hnnnnnggg"
So, now onto ROMs, are there any ICS based ones you reccomend?
Btw I see tht your question has been answered but in Mr Root's next update will include a Rooter/Unrooter for the newest H-Boot (Without S-Off)

For a while it was so - you couldn't do anything with 1.45.0013, HTC broke the OTA so you couldn't unlock it.
In my quest for s-on to s-off (still ongoing) I found a leaked copy of the OTA as a signed HTC package so now we can actually unlock them, and people can work with them and they are now rootable.
Still stuck with s-on though, which is unfortunate - we're working on it and hopefully can crack it soon. Got some leads we're chasing down, each layer we unravel shows us another that has to be solved below it.
ICS? Dunno - i'm not interested in ICS yet, still trying to learn gingerbread through and through (i'm an android newbie) before moving up to ICS. That's on hold right now because of the s-on issue i'm working on. tbalden has been leading the charge on ICS and I would recommend looking into his works if that is your interest.

can you explain in detail how to flash it to rom?????
Using CWM to flash it, you will need the super user ZIP file. Find it somewhere (it's everywhere, no doubt) and put it on your SD card. Reboot the phone to recovery mode, and using CWM recovery, select "flash any zip from SD card" (I'd look up the exact wording, except that my phone has been running a solid 24 days without reboot and I really wanna see how long it goes). Navigate to where your super user ZIP file is, and select it. Follow prompts, et voila, root on reboot.
Assuming all works. If something didn't work, you messed up. Try again from step 1, make sure you have a zip file and not an APK file, make sure you select the correct "flash zip" option (there are two, one specifically for update.zip and another for whatever zip you choose).
HIH
ok this is my huge problem i have the same hboot with s-on
i have the full stock stupid t-mobile mt4gs AOS 2.3.4 software# 1.55.531.3 and i DONT have CWM or any of the extras in only thing i succeeded is getting the bootloader unlocked so what should i do?
Install clockworkmod then flash either superuser pr a ROM - if staying stocl with root, be a good time to do some spring cleaning on all the junk it comes with pre-installed.

Well,
What exactly did you do that returned this error (mainly because I don't remember if fastboot or adb returns that)? What tutorial/guide were you following? Were you in adb trying to "dd" the CWM recovery image or were you trying to flash an img file from within fastboot? Either way, what was the exact command you typed?
Your other thread (sorry, didn't realize I had replied to you in two different places) received an answer as well. After looking around to get the info you need for this post, I see now you've posted in quite a few threads to which I'm subscribed (guess I just never noticed the name, sorry).
So I see you have an unlocked bootloader. At this point, yes, flash CWM. Blue6ix gave an excellent post on how to do this. Is this the one you are currently trying to follow in order to install CWM?
tried to use superuser
I tried to load the superuser zip file in recovery with cwm. installation aborted. any suggestions? I have mytouch4gslide with s on unlocked with HBoot 1.45.0013

Did this help? Only things I can think of are (1) using ”flash update.zip” instead of ”flash [any] zip file” or, less likely, (2) trying to flash an apk instead of a zip.

Yes, that thread did help me. I used your instructions. I even have a new sd card. I have read some threads about formating it first. I did not do that. Also where can I get a good zip file? I down loaded it from some file sharing program 2share I think... Tried again ROOTED!!!! It was so easy!!! Been doing this for a week!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bricked my phone!!!
Just want to add... Do not use ROM Manager from The Market. Bricked my phone. Just stays in start up. Had it rooted and everything!!!!
NO BRICK

Hi:
I too have a MyTouch Slidwe 4G with the hboot 1.45.0013. All the contrary information I have found lead me to go to the professionals. I purchased the root-android.org software. It seemed to run fine - I got no errors and it said that the phone was rooted. I see the superuser app on the phone. However, when I try to run Titanium Backup, it says that the phone is not rooted. The people at root-android.org are not answering my emails (I did get my money back). Any ideas of where I should go from here?
Thanks!
You should never have to purchase root for any android, if it has been done once then chances are it is plastered how to all over the internet, if the phone has a thread on xda then it will be there. Being you got yourself this far I'll help you out a bit more

Read and understand is my advice, always read until you understand, then search if you have questions, then finally ask questions here if you are still stumped.

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..

Hi,
I follow THIS GUIDE
If you have 4EXT installed ,then you should be able to boot into recovery and make a nandroid,then root,then supercid...

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
Hey,
Last night I got a system update message and on reboot it loaded clockworkmod and now I can't install the update
I rooted and installed the mod before but I never use it...
How can I disable clockworkmod or deleting it so I can get the official update (I would much prefer that)
Thanks,
PS. I have read other posts about this online but the problem have been slightly different and with other phones so the wrong files, i'm guessing

I'm guessing the OTA you got was to software version 3.33.401.153?
If yes just download and run the RUU exe from here. This will put you on that software version.

no, 3.33.401.106 is the next one then it is 3.33.401.153
However, you can just flash the RUU and it will put you on 3.33.401.153 without having to flash 3.33.401.106 - also because you are rooted the OTA file may fail to run whereas the RUU wont.

Regardless of whether my hoster's website is down, my FTP remains up so you can still download the file using the link I posted. Its self explanatory and comes with instructions within the installer, it will wipe your phone so I would suggest doing a nandroid backup of data only then restoring data from a custom recovery (you will have to reflash the custom recovery after the RUU has finished because it will return you to stock recovery)

so will nandroid backup still work after i use the RUU if i dont flash with a custom recovery later?

The RUU replaces (gets rid of) clockwork mod with HTC Stock recovery, so to restore nandroid backup after RUU you will need to reflash CWM

I think with an app like that you need root to use it (Titanium backup needs root) and to root you still need a custom recovery so I would just recommend the method I suggested but apart from that the method is correct

Finally got round to doing this and i got an error 115
'ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR'... One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Should i update to the 3.33.401.106 RUU first. If so, where do I find it?
Sorry about this
Good day Friends of the Forum
I have a problem and do not know how to fix it , I have navigate a lot in the network and I could not get my phone to work . I have HTC One X from AT&T. By playing around with the phone, accidentaly I delete the O.S. so right now my phone is locked . I can't load Origanal or Custom ROMS . The only thing I can do is enter the bootloader and install recovery ( TWRP ) I installed several versions of TWRP to install a custom rom or I locked the bootloader to install the original RUU and everything has been WITHOUT SUCCESS .
Right now I have S -ON , my HBOOT is 2.14 and I can install TWRP Recovery 2.6.0.0 or 2.6.3.0 .
I have read in many places that I have to make an S -OFF to install a Custom ROM , but all I get Tips that I need an OS runing to finish the installation (or modified to do the S -OFF) . What can I do if my S.O. is actuall blocked (brick). Only screen I got when I turned on or reboot my is the white screen " HTC quietly brillant" .
My friends , I request help from the wise in this range. Since I ran out of ideas . I attached pictures with my phone information
regards
You are not bricked (or "blocked", whatever that means). A brick means the device cannot be recovered without opening the device (replacing mainboard, JTAG, etc.). If the screen comes on, its not bricked.
Just use your unlock token to unlock the bootloader again. TWRP and custom ROMs won't install if the bootloader is relocked. The unlock token will sometimes take several (or even many) tries to work. So if you tried already, and it didn't work, just keep trying.
Also, if you are SuperCID (which was required to get bootloader unlock on the AT&T version) and S-on (which you are) DO NOT RUN the 3.18 RUU. If you do so, you will brick the device for real (only recoverable by JTAG).
My advice would be re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install the custom ROM of your choice, and then achieve S-off.
Also, I find this situation comes up far too often ("I wiped the OS and I don't know what to do"). Don't wipe things (like the OS) if you don't know what the result is going to be. And if you had made a nandroid before messing with things, you could have just restored. Seems there are just far too many n00bs getting into this hobby without exercising any basic common sense.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I just re-Unlock my phone.
Would you please help me with one issue? When I try to install a custom rom via TWRP 2.6.0.0 it says checking for MD5 file. No MD5 file found.
and the phone start restarting and restarting...
How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

MD5 is a checksum file (verifies the integrity of the download). But this shouldn't be happening in TWRP. Try the default wipe option in TWRP (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) and try again.

I have a problem when I try to install custom rom ViperXL_4.2.0.zip
When I try to install, the rom send me to a wizard, I follow the steps of the wizard and the star installing the rom, when the installation percent reach 7 % the phone restarts and send me the HTC quitly brillant screen.
Do you think that I need re-lock the bootloader and then re-unlock the bootloader??
thanks
No, do not relock the bootloader, that isn't the problem. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why are you attempting to install custom ROMs? You lack a basic understanding of what you're doing, this is very dangerous. I seriously suggest that once you get the phone up and running again you stop modifying it and take the time to do some research and learn about what you're doing. You should always know what you're doing before you do it. Not knowing what you're doing leads to situations like this where you have idea how to recover, or even to a bricked device.
Did you manually check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? The file might be corrupt, thus causing the installer to fail.

Thanks verry much for your advice, now I am living the consequences for start playing with my device without knowledge. I promise when this nightmare ends, I am going to do a deep research for installing custom roms and how to make backups before playing.
This problem happens with all roms that I try to install?? In your experience how do I make a good MD5 manually check .
Regards
The md5 sum will be listed on the download page of the ROM, you need to use an md5 checking program/app to make sure the md5 of the downloaded file matches the one listed on the download page. To make this easier to understand, an md5 is like a fingerprint of the file made up of a series of letters and numerals. If the md5 of the file matches the one listed on the site you know the file is exactly as it should be. If it doesn't match then you know the file has been corrupted during the download.

I´m Sorry, I din't check the md5, do you think the problem resides in the md5 file?? I already try with 12 custom and 1 clean rom for the AT&T HTC One X, that's why I didn´t check the md5 file, because I thought that one of all the roms, one of them is going to be the correct one. In some cases there is no md5 file for downloading.

probably you aren't rooted
but consider this
every custom rom comes prerooted
so there is no point to root your current one
about md5 sums:
put the zip in your sdcard
navigate with any file manager you have to that zip
tap and hold on it until it pops up a menu
go to properties
somewhere it will say show checksum or calculate checksum
it will show you a row of letters and numbers
then compare it with the one from the download link and see if it matches
note: once you flash the 3.33 universal(ics firmware) your current rom won't boot because it is a gb one
so you have to flash the new rom after upgrading your firmware
and don't forget to backup your current rom just in case
by the way do you have sdk tools installed in your pc?(adb and fastboot files)

Google md5 generator for Windows. Use the first link that you find.
If you have 4ext recovery, you can check md5 there itself.
Happy to help.
Okay, I checked with an MD5 program suggested, and it codes match. Great!

since you are rooted install 4ext updater app
from that app download and install 4ext recovery touch
link in my signature
then boot to the recovery
go to backup/restore->backup
then you can backup your current rom
after that format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
flash the new rom

I got 4EXT recovery on my phone but when I went into to bootloader (power + vol down) OMG I ****ed something up...I forgot I had the firmware 3.33 zip file on my SD card and I updated so now I have firmware 3.33 and I can't boot my phone.
Can't believe I ****ed this up...any idea how to go back?
Edit: Can I use 4EXT to access my sd card and delete the PG58IMG zip from my sd card, then put in the firmware 1.17 zip and flash that?

Eject sd card let the phone boot up than insert the sd and delete the zip, or use sd card adapter to pc and delete the zip

I can't boot up my phone because I accidentally flashed 3.33 when I'm still using gingerbread.
