Hi everyone,
I have unlocked my Sensation XE (EU) using HTC dev my bootloader shows a pink ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. I have loaded Team Win Recovery using Sensation All in One Kit. Wiped the phone and tried loading a custom ROM but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen All my attempts at trying to gain s-off have failed. Is there a way to gain S-OFF without using the Sensation All in One Kit as i am getting device not found due to it not being in the os but bootloader. I can't seem to flash any ROMS using Team Win Recovery because of s-on?
When trying to flash RUU I am getting invalid image or some error about bootloader, think this is die to already being on hboot 1.29, I just need to figure out how to gain s-off and all my problem I think will be solved. My problem, I have root, s-on, Team Win Recovery with no bootable OS at the moment, cannot use 4ext as it does not load for some reason. but when flashing zips in Team Win Recovery I get stuck on HTC screen. It's like its failing to write to some partitions because of s-on?

Hello, members )
My story:
Since i never liked HTC Sense i tried to migrate to Cyanogen.
I performed the following steps:
1. Bootloader was unlocked with HTC site.
2. 4ExtRecovery installed.
3. Cyanogen "update-cm-7.1.0-DesireS-signed" was installed via 4Ext from sd card.
Now phone stucks at HTC logo. Access to bootmenu, recovery is available.
I tried to flash RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe but it ends with an error.

Have you made a backup of your previous ROM? If not try one of the custom sense roms or run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and delete everything in the zip file except the system.img, rename it to pg88img.zip and flash it in bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
As much as I know is your problem that with htcdev the kernel isn't unlocked and cause cyanogen needs another then sense, it doesn't work.
Swyped from my Desire S
flashed pg88img.zip via bootloader. no effect, still hangs on white HTC logo screen (

first thing you should do is to go s-off, then you can install custom roms.

He's unlocked by htc dev
You can also try flashing the full package with all content from the rom.zip, but this sets also your unlocked state of the bootloader back and be sure that you use the latest version of the ruu.

seems like RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe is te latest but it ends with an error.
I have already tried a few roms, but the result is the same HTC logo screen

You need to manually flash the boot.img from CM 7.1 when you have the unlocked bootloader.

Thanx for the help )
But i dont have cyanogen anymore since i tried to flash other roms.
Shall i install CM rom via 4extrecovery and then flash boot.img in fastboot?
I am ready to get back Sense because now nothing works (
Mr tpbklake , you do the magic!!
Everything works thanx!!
So,
1. CM rom was flashed in 4EXT
2. /boot was formatted
3. fastboot flash boot boot.img was performed (boot.img from the same rom)
This is the 6th device I've "customised" but none of them has been as difficult as this. It's certainly put me off ever buying an HTC device.
Here is its status:

I have permroot from adp (it doesn't go straight to the # prompt, I have to su)
I've installed 4EXT Recovery Classic but that just leads to the red triangle and the standard recovery.
Suggestions would be most welcome!
I'm sure you need to s-off your phone. Search the forums for tutorial..

@BritSwedeGuy
If unlocked by HTCdev you don't need s-off.
Try download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot.

You can flash (by other Recovery) the custom ROMs based on stock kernel only.

S-Off needed for FULL freedom.
Hi guys,
I have a problem i followed the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
to S-Off my new HTC Sensation XE from O2 which was succseful and as per the guide i chose N to the option to install Clockwork recovery.
When i then followed the steps to install recovery after it just will not work have tried many different methods including ADB but it just fails to install
after some digging i have discovered that unusually when i loot the bootloader screen it does say that the device is S-off however the pink bar at the top that normally says unlocked is saying locked which is why i am guessing any installs keep failing.
Anyone know how to fix this please, thanks in advance.
You've not fully S-OFF'd it yet...run Revolutionary it again until it asks you to flash CWM. Say yes to it and then you're good to go
Thanks for the reply, i tried that but it now says my device is not supported in revolution
What HBOOT you on now?

By Noob:
I tried installing Cyanogen then MUIU and it is stuck at the loading screen. (is it called bootloop?)
This is what hapened:
First I unsuccessfully tried to (HTC One X AIO)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
Next I followed the RUU to unbrick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
So, I tried the AIO again. I don't know if I did it correctly.
I backed up the current ROM. I tried Cyanogen. It didn't work (Looping Loading Screen). Restore rom, and tried muiu. Same thing.

if you're using CWM, use 4Ext since its easier for S-ON user and flash the rom again with smartflash on
Edit : Most people dont recommend using that One X Tool
How do I CWM to 4Ext; or S-Off? (Sensation 4G)

For what I understood, either
Turn S-OFF
or Change to 4Ext
I tried to look for a tutorial for either (noob here) that works for my Sensation 4G, but was unsuccessful. I still need help on how to do this (either).
Thanks

its up to you if u want to S-Off but i prefer to be S-On because its hard to S-Off with 1.27 Hboot. Just change ur recovery to 4ext and install the rom with Smartflash On

HI,
To install a ROM with s-on,follow THIS GUIDE
If you want to s-off,go to the link in my signature (A great starting point) Number 2 by ganesh.
Hello,
I got a very strange problem,
I followed this tutorial:
trickytweaks .com/root-htc-sensation-4g-4-1-1-jb-flash-kernel-unlock-bootloader.html
trickytweaks .com/install-4-1-2-jelly-bean-htc-sensation-4g-cyanogenmod-10-rom.html
to flash my HTC Sensation (EU), anyway I followed everything in unlocking bootloader but rooting
So I was just flashing the now accessable TRWRP 2.5 and gone ahead to flash the Rom with gapps without thinking about the Root
now it seems like my device is bricked.
Sorry for this Noob question but what to do ?
