i just bought a sensation, and now i'm a previous HD2 owner. so i'm not a noob, i hope.
so...unlocking bootloader and rooting and s-Off...which one to follow? the official on hTCDev website or the revolutionary way?! any difference between those?
please someone clarify some things, as i just became a sensation user, i have no idea about anything of these since HD2 is way different as i noticed and since there are a lot of info on the net, i don't wanna get into things i shouldn't.
i got a second hand sensation but it's still on factory default with android 2.3.4 and sense 3.0
really any help is greatly appreciated
If your HBOOT is supported by Revolutionary ALWAYS use that one...
I dont like HTCdev - It should only be used if your HBOOT is unsupported
Just have a good read through all the noob guides. Be sure of what you're doing before attempting anything...
I cant stress how important it is to follow the guides 100%

no really i searched like two hours and on youtube but i couldn't know what's the difference between the official tool and the one called revolutionary...why you felt sarcasm in my words is beyond me...sorry anyway...
haha maybe its just me..
Anyway, Revolutionary IS THEE best tool for S-OFF... providing your HBOOT is supported of course. Did you check to see if its supported ?
if you got hboot 1.18.0000 please use revolutionary method to unlock your boot loader. If you unlock your bootloader with htcdev method you will unlock somd parts of the hboot. not every thing. then you cant flash a custom kernel because it already locked boot.img and cant write a new file over it. thne you will get wifi,bluetooth problems. so unlock your bootloader with revolutionary.

Happing rooting...
Just curious, how will rooting (& thereby voiding the warranty) bring you some peace... For most people, it would bring anxiety (& bad dreams)...
Wait a minute, you said unlocking, i hope you didn't mean sim-unlock instead of rooting?

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

i dont know what is SuperCID so i guess i didn't use it.
recovery is the only thing that i can get into right now.
i tried factory reset. didn't work.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

can u plz tell me the detail?
what files do i need ? or is there a thread that can help me through the process ?
btw, there is no equal or greater ruu, i searched it , found a few thread asking the same thing but no result.

yeah it seems like you did take all steps. with changing your CID im not really sure what to do. illl be back if i find anything but right now im stuck. sorry man.
drklazarus26 said:
Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.
no one seems to have a good solution to this???
i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.
Should change the title of post from [Q] to [solved] so that people know your all set and others that may find the info useful.

Hey guys,
I have a HTC Sensation Vodafone branded and I want to unbrand it. But the problem is, that the S-OFF doesn't work at all! I have the 1.27.00000 HBOOT but no matter how often I try to S-OFF it with Juopunutbear, it just doesn't want to work.
It wouldn't be too bad if I could boot into Android and use the phone again, but nope, it's not working either. Is there any way I can get Android back running or get S-OFF?
I also had to repeat the wire-trick about 10 times, but then it worked! Just be patient
I read this thread when I was just about to give up..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27595344&postcount=356
I don't know how you did it, but i guess you did a temp-root - just seach the thread for an un-temp-root and you'll be able to use the phone as normal
No I have unlocked the bootloader. I've tried it for over 1 hour now. Nothing works...
try to remove the battery for a minute and charge for some time..
so you're stuck at:
"Do not remove sdcard from phone
Do wire-trick now!! Look instructions at web
Waiting device...." ?
Nope. I get this error: Errorcode: 66732337 ErrorMsg: Still sober
The istructions on data recovery don't do anything. Still getting the JuopunutBear screen
It's the normal error when you haven't got the right timing
this guy did a gif on how to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25207024&postcount=12
don't worry you aren't the first one having problems with it but it will work!
I really hope! I just got this phone for my one s villec2 and got 100€. It would be pretty bad if something wouldn't work.
Is it possible that it doesn't work with every device?

reduce the pause time
0.5 sec tap --- 1.5 sec pause --- 0.5 sec pause again
then tell me when its giving the error ...like x/45 --- i want the x in it
EDIT: also if you want to install custom roms ..you can easily do it even with SON when you have unlocked bootloader
look here
I just realized that the phone turnes itself off after the wire thing.
I don't know what you mean by x/45. The time till it connects?
It worked! Thank you all! I'm so happy now!
System is not booting though what can I do?

Hi guys,
I have an HTC Explorer and I unlocked and rooted it few days back, later I got a strange problem that everytime I receive or make an outgoing call, my phone goes on loudspeaker automatically and anything I do, I can't make it stop. I factory reset it several times, reflashed stock ROM but nothing. Finally I decided to take it back to service center but since it's rooted, I tried to unroot it first and then relock the bootloader. I flashed back the stock recovery and then locked the bootloader but got some warnings while locking it.
Now it shows bootloader relocked but with some warnings in red color. I can't start my phone now as it goes in bootloader mode always, unlocking it again makes it work again so I am sure I am not doing something right.
Can you suggest me what I should do to make it lock properly and also if some suggestions related to loudspeaker problem, I will be really thankful.
Thanks.

Flashing an RUU is the only definitive way of *relocking* your device. And, as of why it shows *relocked* and not *locked*, I quote Rohan Pruthi (dunno if he's on XDA).
Because, its a virgin no more! no matter how much you try to show otherwise...

Thanks for your reply. I read this on so many places to flash RUU to solve this problem, unfortunately I am only have enough knowledge in Samsung area since I have S3 and never had to deal with HTC, so can you explain a bit more what's this RUU all about and where can I get it to flash on my friend's HTC?
If there are any links or something, that would be great. Thanks.

Reboot to bootloader and connect your phone to PC, and type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and paste the output here... It will be easier for me to tell which RUU you'd need then...
Else, you can search for one yourself... Only thing that the Radio version and hboot should match...
http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pico
I am not with that device now but thanks for the command, I will do that later. Hopefully I will be able to find one for my device, since it's exe file, I just need to run that once I get it downloaded?

you should have htc sync/drivers installed.

Definitely don't flash that RUU - the 'Bravo' is the HTC Desire, not the Desire S Flash that and you'll definitely screw up your device.
I stand corrected but i dont think that ruu works as it's for bravo, desire s is saga.
How did u "accidentally"?
Anyway let's get some info.
1 Device info
-Bootloader number
-Unlock?s-on?s-off?
-firmware? ics or gb
2 How did it occur
-What were u doing?
-What were u trying to do?
-What made u wanna flash a ruu?

But ya follow the above guy say. But i think he meant bootloader?? snapshot what's on the bootloader.
