Hello sensation user,
i am getting my sensation tomorrow and was wondering do we still need to "S-off" with the HTC update that unlocks the bootloader?
I mean can I install CWM & custom rom's without S-off-ing the thing first?
P.s praying for CM
Thanks for your time

Don't use the HTC method, use Revolutionary as you can keep your warranty
Hi,
I was wondering how you would root a htc desire s hboot version 2.0.0002 with S-ON. Another question I had was on htcdev where I would like to unlock the bootloader on my phone the 'S' model isn't listed. Would it come under the desire or other phone models? Thanks
take other phone models since its a desire s and not a plain desire.
if you got your bootloader unlocked u need to downgrade the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919
and continue with
http://revolutionary.io/
i didnt tried anythign of this yet but thats what id like to do with my desire s as soon as i got enough time
if youre happy with s-on you could go for the zergRush thing for temproot right after youre done with unlocking the bootloader with htcdev.
hope its correct. ive just started reading yesterady in here
€ or search for the superoneclick. same thing as the zergRush but much more easier to use

OK Thanks For Your Help
is it dangerous to do this?
im no pro in flashing and all this stuff but as long as you follow the instructions there should not be any prob. if theres any high risk in bricking the device or anything there will be an extra warning i guess.
oh and one big nogo i learned by my friends phone.... never ever pull the battery
and you lose the warranty by unlock with htcdev.
Ok thanks is it reversable when the bootloader has been unlocked? Thanks
I have now unlocked the bootloader so how do i root now?
if you just need root, check this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
if u want s-off u need to downgrad the bootloader and go for revolutionary like i posted befor
€ and always edit your post if u need to add something . dont double post like you did
u just can re-lock your bootloader with htcdev but u cant go back to the normal locked. not 100%sure about this
how do i sim-unlock now i am rooted? and what is the point of installing a rom? Thanks

The point of installing a rom is that they can be smoother and more customisable, they also get rid of a lot of the branding **** that comes with the pjone.
As for sim-unlock this has nothing to do with s-off or routing, you can pay to get it unlocked from ebay, Idid it yesterday and it cost me £3.99, so very reasonable.
would this be ok? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNLOCK-CO...ultDomain_3&hash=item3cc0e2889b#ht_3192wt_952
and what is a goldcard? I am new to rooting
Looks ok, I used this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unlock-Co...ssories_RL&hash=item2c611a04e1#ht_2693wt_1344
what is a goldcard? Thanks
goldcard allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your device.
what would you say is the best rom? Thanks
Hello folks,
as I don't' want to start a new topic I do hope to get a straight NO answer here
I got:

- Build 2.10.401.8 CL156318
- HBOOT 2.00.0002
- Rooted with SuperOneClick

Hi guys,
I'm calling for your help because it seems my HTC Sensation XE's girl friend is now in a bad situation
First error : ICS update through OTA was proposed and installed so it's now in HBoot 1.27.0000 Locked bootloader and S-ON because I did not had time before to put it S-OFF / SuperCID / rooted when she was with Gingerbread.
Second Error : tried to unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev ... pretty useless it seems and ICS is now not booting anymore.
Now I have the phone that seems to be in a bootloop at each start, can't install any HTC RUU, it gave me Error 155 every time, I have 4EXT Touch Recovery which is still accessible but what to do with it ...
As I can't install any custom rom due to S-ON and locked bootloader, I would like to come back to the HTC Official ICS at least so the phone would be useable but I don't know how as the RUU does not want to install ?
Anyone who have any idea on how to unlock the situation please ?
Precision : I also have an HTC Sensation XE, so I was wondering if I could try to restore an nandroid backup of my Sensation ? I think this is not possible or at least things needs to be changed to restore it successfully ?
Thks,
BR.

i tried it before, the main problem is the Official Unlock via HTCdev doesn't serve an RUU for my phone's version which is 1.54.401.3 i have no idea what to do!
Can't run RUU due to upgraded ROM
Hi,
I'm having the same problem. My phone had a software update recently which upgraded the rom to 1.54.401.3 and now I can't use the RUU tool, as it requires 1.54.401.2.
Is there any way to downgrade back to 1.54.401.2 so we can use the RUU tool?

hiya, i am a new Htc Chacha User and i really want a custom ROM
1st of all i really do appreciate the work that Htc chacha developers are doing really really great job... But i am stuck on 2.3.5 build:1.54.401.3....
The only way is to downgrade
but the downgrade guide has broken links and i cannot follow the whole process ...
please anyone try to get us a new guide of how to downgrade from 2.3.5 build:1.54.401.3...
i've swiped the whole forum but couldn't find anything helpful.... bits and pieces here n there that doesnt make any sense ..
please help us
Thanks mRzaame.
Thanks dude if i were near abt ur place i woulnt mind at all .... But i am stuck in bolton for a while
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using XDA
no bother at all
finally i found the solution!
nobody need to downgrade, and you don't even need to download the RUU 1.54.401.3. just skip this step 1 of unlock and go directly to step 2,
i did it my phone now is unlocked and i rooted it!
but before you go to step 2 make sure to enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes
Very nice marwanbaradii!
its working
Tnx that was the solutions i needed
Hi marwanbaradii . I need to know what step 2 is and how to go about it?
Thanks

Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604255 >>> This will downgrade your hboot to 0.98.XXXX, read through replies they simplify the steps further.
Then follow this guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M >>> to S-OFF your phone via revolutionary.
It helped me S-OFF my phone. I have same problem like you days ago, i was S-ON, hboot unlocked, rooted and hboot 2.00.0002. Now I'm S-OFF and permanently rooted. Hope this helps!
If I'm not mistaken (and most likely I'm not), you can't downgrade a phone without locking the bootloader first. So you need to lock the bootloader and flash RUU - and you're not using the correct guide for it. You need to do some steps that aren't in the guide.

Correct, but that's after you change your misc version, which is in the guide. Locking the bootloader is part of the steps, so no worries there, RUU's are also there, I think there's one from his region so no problem. Take it from me, I started from S-ON, rooted (temp i think), boot unlocked and hboot 2.00.0002 and the guide is noob fail-safe, given you researched enough to know what you're doing, and you just do what it tells you. You'll do the deed right.
Sorry, I was replying to the OP, but you posted before me so it looks like I'm replying to you instead. I meant the guide he mentioned in his OP, not your guide.

Thank's
I tried this, but the last step does not work with me, I can not bring the command line because cmd does not detect my phone when it is in bootloader, or maybe I'm wrong to maneuver?
Code:
then type in command prompt.
- fastboot oem lock
P.S: the bootloader is unlock with htcdev.com

What do you mean by "region": is the region where I live, or that or the phone was for its manufacture? if this is the second time how to recognize the region because I have not bought new?

Before starting with everything, turn on USB Debugging (settings>developer options) and turn off Fast boot (settings>Power) in your phone.
You installed HTC sync in your PC right? If not, first download and install HTC Sync (from here www(dot)htc(dot)com/sea/help/htc-desire-s/#download), you need the drivers from HTC sync, so your pc can recognize your phone.
Make sure you rebooted to bootloader. Then enter:
- fastboot oem lock >>> this is to "relocked" your phone so you can proceed to installation of the RUU.
First and foremost, is your phone branded? If yes, then choose the right RUU for you. If no, you can use the unbranded RUU. Or you can search the forum for your specific region, I think Europe RUU is ok. "Region" is your area, where you live and use your phone. Im from south east asia, so i used asia RUU. Also take note of Post #5 of the first guide, he has summarized everything and i believe he's in the same region as you. Read through everything before starting.
