OTA Update To 2.3.4

So I updated my Sensation to 2.3.4 and now I'm just wondering if I have an unlocked bootloader on my phone. Did the OTA give me an advantage to go and root my Sensation?

Nope

So then how do I go about rooting it. I don't know if I have S-off or not.

Turn off phone. Hold down lower volume and press power. Then youll see your bootloader screen and look and see if it says s-on.

Mine says locked, so yeah the OTA does not unlock your phone.

Do NOT unlock it. You warrenty will be void and HTC will know.
S OFF, flash CWM, then flash su

All he was asking was if the ota gave him s-off. Thats not gonna happen. The only way your gonna inform htc that you soff is buy them through there website. Just soff through alpharev and root flash radio update and youll be good. There is the direction thread in stickies ok. Kids these days

hi, if you want to return s-on, you have to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
and no, if you do s-off you can't get update from htc

Tnx ;-)

there is the button "thanks"

you can get updates from htc with s-off as long as you are otherwise completely stock (including recovery)

Tool for auto goldcard ?

I was wondering if there is a tool which will create a goldcard. I tried it manually about 50 times with different sdcards but no luck. I'm very sure that I'm doing it the right way but it just won't work.

Why do you need a gold card?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G

You don't need to create gold card for sensation.

you dont need HBoot 1.20 as I think it's still beta atm, try downgrading it to i think 1.12 and everything should work.
Please correct me if im wrong

That's because hboot 1.20 doesn't have fastboot flashing capabilities. But you can still flash radios and hboot stuff, provided you make into a bootloader flashable zip.

As mentioned, get into the bootloader and you can flash Radios from there

No, no you cannot, at least with the hboot 1.20. You CAN however, flash a bootloader compatible zip, which is not at all near the same as a fastboot flash.

If you use revolutionary to S-OFF your device it will have hboot 1.17 (from my own experience)
You can only change cid if your hboot is S-OFF

So unlocking the bootloader is not s-off that's just onlocking the recovery

If you want to change your cid you need to have an unlocked bootloader by S-OFFING your hboot
But why do you even want to change your cid?

No need to supercid for custom roms, since they don't have cid checking. Just s-off and flash a recovery

Dude, unlock the phone, S-off, supercid, permaroot and clockwork and then install any rom you want. The guide in the forum is very simple and easy to use.

You need to s off and super CID to flash your phone with ANY ruu. It's the only method to debrand your phone as you so wish to do.

You need superCID or the ability to change your CID to flash most any RUU.
