Hi,
sorry for asking because the forums are full of information on how to root the HTC Sensation but I'm a bit overwhelmed and though I read through several threads before starting I just want to be sure I understand everything right and the information provided is still valid.
First some information about my phone:
My phone is completely stock and just arrived back from an HTC repair (no motherboard change concerning repair report). It's not branded (bought retail).
Android 4.0.3
Sense 3.6
Software version: 3.33.401.53
Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-g31a4fc7
Baseband-Version: 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build number: 3.33.401.53 CL391535
Browser-Version: WebKit/534.30
HBOOT 1.27.0000
I'm on Windows 7 x64.
My goal is to install a JB ROM with root access.
I saw some all-in-one tools to achieve my goal:
[TOOL][2 DEC] HTC Sensation/XE/4G Super Utility (AIO) by kgs1992 v8.0
[TOOL] HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit V4.0 [7-16-2013] [Noob-Proof]
Is it safe to use such tools, do they well in guiding me through the needed steps and which one is better/safer/easier/more up-to-date?
If going "manually" as far as I understood I have two choices:
1. S-OFF via HTC Dev unlock (auggie2ks guide)
OR
2. S-OFF via the new method HERE.
Which one is better/safer/easier? Will they work with firmware 3.33 (only 3.32 is mentioned)?
Concerning the 2nd guide the wire trick is easier in 1st guide? What else is more complicated there?
Now concerning the order of the manual steps and some questions (referring to [GUIDE] How to Root & S-OFF HTC Sensation - HBOOT 1.27.0000 & Firmware 3.33! and [GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF (HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware)):
1. Requirements:
1.1 HTC drivers (windows)
1.2 Enable USB Debugging
1.3 SDCARD ready to be wiped
1.4 Prepared paperclip
2. Steps to perform in that order
2.1 HTC Dev unlock (in case of not using the new method in point 2 above)
2.2 Temp root the phone by flashing Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
How to flash?
2.3 Flash boot.img from Stock 3.32 Rooted ROM in Fastboot
Currently I seem to be on 3.33 so which one to use and where to get the stock rooted ROM from?
2.4 Run Juopunutbear, follow instructions and do the wire trick
2.5 Flash custom recovery (4-EXT) with HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit
2.6 Permanently root the phone with HTC Sensation 4G All-In-One Toolkit
2.7 Write Super CID
Do I need this (unbranded retail phone)?
Further questions:
I also read about some universal Firmware HERE. Do I need this when already on (stock) 3.33?
Do I need to flash some special radio (I'm in Germany)?
ROM decision:
After all the mess with S-OFF I'd like to install a nice JB ROM and would be very happy for suggestions because of the great amount of ROMs available in the DEV forum.
What features should I pay attention on (I noticed some problems on stock with free RAM and maybe for example there are some ROMs addressing this in some way)?
Thanks in advance for some hints

For rooting as S-Off, Unlock bootloader first and then follow auggie2ks guide for S-off as the wire trick is relatively easier than no htcdev unlock method.
If your goal is to only install custom JB Rom then you can do it by just unlocking bootloader and then flashing 4Ext Recovery via fastboot. For flashing Rom just enable smartflash in the 4EXT recovery tools option and you're good to go to flash custom ROM.
For rooting there is a permanent one click root tool present in ganeshp guide for S-Off(No htcdev unlock one).
For flashing universal firmware you need to be S-Off. If you plan to do so then do S-off now as Stock ROM is a prerequisite to attain S off.
For good JB Rom you have many options. If you want Sense based ROM then flash ViperS 3.1.2 JB with Sense 4+.

Hi,
many thanks for the reply.
I wonder what exactly is universal firmware and if I need it at all?
If I go for S-OFF are the steps I wrote above correct or have I mixed something or unneccessary stuff in there?
What about Super CID? What exactly is this and do I need that?
Concerning a good JB ROM I prefer non-Sense because meanwhile I like the feel of pure Android.

universal firmware is a patched firmware and you can flash it only when you are on S-OFF
if you go for S-OFF just follow only ganeshp's guide
supercid gives you the ability to install whatever ruu.exe you want

Yes, relatively they're safe. But I highly recommend not using them. They will unlock your device, but you will have a hard time maintaining it.

The wire trick will be a easier in method 1.
If you just want JB roms, and seeing as you are on 3.3x already, you need not change your firmware (s-off not needed for flashing roms). You however can update your radio if you choose to S-OFF.
With S-OFF, you'll have a easier time flashing roms though.

S-OFF is needed to superCID and to flash unsigned firmware and/or hboots. Unless you want to flash an ruu not originally meant for your device you'll need superCID.

hey there,
bought my gf a desire s to christmas. i, as a sensation user at the moment am very comfortable with development. flashing, adb, fastboot and things like that are working flawless.
as i don't have so much time to read atm, i have some questions concerning the way to set the desire s up. it was shipped with 1.47 rom, t-mobile branded, sense 2.1, android 2.3.1 and hboot 0.98.0002
i want to flash this rom: endymion sense v3.1 (android 2.3.5, sense 3.5)
i already achieved s-off with revolutionary, hboot is now 6.98.1002 with radio 3805.06.02.03_M. 4ext recovery 2.2.7RC5 is installed as well.
now i saw, that there is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe availble. i also read in the forum, that this ota brings some parts for firmware, which are not flashed with a custom rom.
so would you recommend to flash this ruu first? wouldn't i lose s-off then? would i be abled to achieve s-off again after flashing this? also, for my sensation i would have to supercid first - i didn't read about this here in the forums.
what i would want to do:
1. flash RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
2. run revolutionary again
3. flash custom recovery
4. flash endymion v3.1
would it be possible this way? or would you recommend any other way to me? i want to have all firmware parts as up to date as possible before i flash the custom rom.

Cause you are already s-off I would say it's senseless to use the ruu first, because it would put you back to s-on like you suggested, but only if the revolutionary bootloader doesn't make problems.
There are many reports of problems with it and I would say you should replace it with the 2.00.2002 engineer bootloader.
before just flash a custom recovery (I would recommend 4ext touch) and if your done with the bootloader flash the ROM of your choice.
To get bootloader, recovery,... just look at the index thread at the development section, it's all in there.
The last step to achieve a full upgraded phone would be to update the radio to the latest version, this you will also find at the index thread.
Happy modding
Oh and welcome, sry^^

is there a guide you are referring to? i already got 4ext recovery installed, but i don't find any post concerning 2.00.2002 bootloader. if i flash this one i would stay s-off? and it would bring me all parts which i would be missing without 2.10.401.8 RUU?

Yes this guide is to "downgrade" (in fact it's an upgrade, even if the version number is lower).
Yes you would stay s-off.
No it not brings you all what is missing, just a part of it, the rest you get with flashing the radio and the rom.

It's not really needed, you can do it if it's in the zip (or better said if it's there it's done at the flashing procedure), but you're also good to go without it.
Hi at all,
I need to know if what i saying is right.
I Have HTC Desire S with original Rom 2.10.401.8 and HBOOT 2.00.0002 S-On
My goal is to install the Endymion
I read many thread and i understood that the curret way to do this is:
1) Downgrade My ROM from 2.3.5 ( 2.10.401.8 with HBOOT 2.00.0002) to a ROM 2.3.3 with HBOOT 0.98.00000 (Ex: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe)
To do this i need to follow the steps from 1 to 7 of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20535265&postcount=26
2) Now i need to change HBOOT, Change Recovery and Root the phone. To do this i need to use Revolutionary tool for Windows from http://revolutionary.io/ and follow the istruction.
3) Now i can download the custom Rom and install using this way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
Is It right?
Thanks
K.
100% right, just follow the instructions given by a particular ROM to flash though.
You can also look at HTCdev, but no point in using it (telling HTC you have voided your warranty) so I would use your method.
And 1.47.401.4 is Hboot 0.98.0002 (not that is matters though)
I have just done this this exact way and it worked great
Hi guys. I would like do the same thing with a Desire S, hboot 2.00.0002 S-ON.
After downgrading i'll have hboot 0.98.00000 S-ON.
Than, I should use revolutionary to get my phone S-OFFed and with a new recovery tool, is it right?! (Is there any guide, cause I'm a beginner...?)
Now, is my anroid 2.3.3 phone rooted?!?! So that I can install SU to remove app...
And now, if I would like to come back to android 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 rooted, can I flash a custom rom!? Or do I need something else, like installing clockworkmod recovery?
Thanks !!!

I would install 4ext recovery or the mentioned clockworkmod recovery.
After you have done so, you can flash any ROM (custom or not).
I prefer using a sense 3.5 ROM, but you can either choose sense 3.0 or AOSP.
But before flashing a new ROM you should always backup your system and data
Have fun!

I have HTC Sensation 4G and it was running stock GB but I have updated the software to stock ICS from "software updates".
I wish to downgrade ICS to stock GB as the phone was much faster on GB. I have GB RUU file but of course it won't work as it's not so easy to downgrade from higher to lower version of android os.
My phone has the follwoing:
----------------------------------------
Hboot 1.27.0000
Image firmware 3.32.841.15
Android 4.0.3
CID: Telst001
(I have found that the highest ics version for sensation 4g is 3.32.401.5) so I don't know how Telstra managed to make it 3.32.841.15. Maybe to make it harder for users to update via RUU files. Telstra is the phone carrier who sold the phone to me.
What I want is just to go back to stock GB, I don't want to root my phone and I don't want to S-OFF.
Everyone on net is only talking about rooting and S-OFF the phone but no clear answer or guide on how to Downgrade HTC Sensation 4g from Stock ICS to Stock GB.
Hope you can help me with that.
Thanks
Notes:
PS: I have tried to install almost every RUU_Pyramid version by normal windows installer (RUU.exe) and always stop with error (130) or via fast usb (PG58IMG.zip) with error "Model ID incorrect"!
I also would like someone to give 1 simple answer about this question:
If I S-OFF the phone, will i be able to install any compatible stock RUU version. I mean, i'm now on ICS and if I S-OFF the phone can i downgrade to GB without worrying about change Hboot version, rooting or messing too much with phone. Just run the RUU file and it will work without troubles?

S-Off isn't what will give you the ability to run any RUU.
Changing to the universal CID of 11111111 is what will let you do it.
Of course if you S-Off you can just install a custom recovery and flash any stock GB ROM you want and get to the same end result.

As I mentioned in my first posting that I want to use stock GB NOT custom rom. I do already have the correct RUU rom for my phone.
So, if you are saying that I have to S-OFF. Then are you are to able to give simple direction 1,2,3....
I can S-OFF the phone with revolutionary but Once I have S-OFF can I just run GB RUU file without rooting and without doing any extra work on the phone???

Revolutionary won't work on ics firmware u jb method for s off , including wire trick
After s off u have two options
1 - change cid to super cid and flash any RUU
2 - find matching RUU for your cid and install
For installing RUU ,
Connect device to pc in fastboot mode and double click RUU , it will install
Check kgs RUU thread in General section for all details information

Thanks, I will test tonight and I will let you know.
Here is the guide for getting S-Off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
and here is the thread with all the firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware
In order to run GB again you'll need to install the 1.17 Universal firmware (after having SuperCID and S-Off) using the instructions provided in that thread. However, I have no idea if it is possible to install an older firmware when you're on a newer one; you'll have to ask that in that thread. Finally, be careful and read all the instructions when you do these because gaining S-Off and (especially) installing different Hboots are very dangerous and can easily brick your phone if you do something wrong.

* Revolutionary Utility didn't work with my phone because it doesn't support my Hboot version 1.27.0000 (So I can not get S-OFF with revolutionary).
* As per the guide, I can not have S-OFF with revolutionary, so I won't be able to get SuperCID, because to be able to run cmd command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" I must have S-OFF first. But even if I have SuperCID, that alone won't allow me to install GB
All what I need now is two things:
1- Changing misc version to lower version than what I have to be able to install older RUU
2- Having SuperCID to be able to install other region Radio or RUU version
Can anyone tell me how to change the misc version on HTC Senation and have Supercid?

in ics android there is only way to gain S-OFF and then supercid and it is with juopunutbear method which involves wire trick
see here

after that you can flash the GB RUU
Done
Yes, you were all right about using juopunutbear method. I can confirm it's the only way to get S-OFF on ICS 4.0.3. So I have followed juopunutbear method and I got S-OFF so easy without a problem, then I run "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" to get SuperCID.
After that I was able to downgrade from ICS to GB by running RUU.exe
Thanks to you all for your help.
threat to warranty?

Does this downgrade threats the warranty(like the htcdev tool)?

Hello,
I have sensation XE hboot 1.29 and S-ON. I read that if I have S-ON I can install only my verision roms. Is it true?
I want to install ViperS_1.6.3 and in the future the sense 5.
Can I install now the ViperS_1.6.3 ?
And How can I do it?

You can do that. Just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
It explains how to unlock your bootloader (without S-Offing on the way). And then after you install recovery, flash the ROM to your phone.
The limitation of not being S-Off is that you can not flash firmware or radio (which is good for most users, as it's safer not having access to this), and Not being able to SuperCID (Having SuperCID is useful for restoring the phone as you are not locked to just your very same version of software.

In addition, you will have to use smartflash, or kernel flasher, for roms like vipers 3.1.2. Otherwise you're good.
Happy to help.
Hello guys. I'm new in this "world" and I need some help.
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, I'm also root and I have 4EXT recovery.
I want to be S-off to be SuperCID, install firmware 3.33 universal and then install ROMs without problems.
The webpage of Juopunutbear says that I needd to have a stock RUU and no other ROMs are supported. I have Android 4.0.3 official, it was updated by the phone (I haven't changed anything, for now hehe). Can I use Juopunutbear? Is my Android a stock RUU? If not, how can I use Juopunutbear? I've been looking for Stock RUU but I haven't found any version equals or bigger than my build number (3.32). My sensation is a Vodafone Spanish phone.
Thank you!!!
