So a while ago I made a few posts about my phone (I soft bricked it) then finally was able to root it with S-on. Then I couldn't get S-OFF so I reverted to stock. I tried rooting it and checking forums again but nothing works.
I don't know what I am doing wrong in the rooting process.
Here is what is written on my Hboot screen:
Code:
RELOCKED
EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.14.000
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Nov 26 2012, 18:37:41:-1
So can I even do anything to root it with S-OFF? Stock is so slow after using custom ROMS...
Thank you in advance!
That's very confusing, do you have the at&t model? Is your bootloader locked?

I too found that very confusing. But if the stats you put up are current, you definitely need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash any Roms.

The thing is I know how to unlock my boot-loader, but it's getting the S-OFF that doesn't work. I have tried a few times and for some reason that I cannot identify I can't make it work!
I have been through many forum posts here but it has been all in vain up to now. I just don't want to unlock the bootloader if I have to revert back to stock after anyways.

Have you flashed root or a custom ROM? Do you or do you not have an unlocked bootloader and SuperCID?

I cannot obtain a superCID nor S-OFF with the methods on this website that i know of. I always get an error at the end about something with my phone. Then check superCID and it shows it clearly did not change...
You didn't answer either of the questions. You need root to get SuperCID, you need a custom recovery to get root, and you need an unlocked bootloader to have a custom recovery. If you want help here you need to answer the questions that people ask.

Sorry. Sorry.
I have unlocked my bootloader, I have flashed a custom recovery (TWERP), I rooted, I was able to flash roms but not able to get superCID.
I tried different roms for the xl but all would start to crash after a while, even the stable ones. I discovered the roms I like need S-OFF and since I always get an error message while obtaining the superCID, I cannot get S-OFF and therefore the roms I want.
So I reverted back to stock for the time being so I can use my phone while trying to find a solution.
Does that explain it better?

And just so I understand perfectly what I'm supposed to do:
Root my phone --> Install TWRP --> Flash a rom --> use the hex-editor method to obtain CID --> S-OFF --> Flash the S-OFF rom

I have just finished unlocking the bootloader and rooting the phone. Everything works fine as of now.
I have encountered one error though : When I use the command prompt within the adb shell and retrieve the file, it has next to nothing in it and has the wrong name. It says it should be named "mmcblk0p4" while mine is named "nmdsdcid"...

I dun goof somewhere. I finally found the file (it appeared out of nowhere), got super CID and then when I tried getting S-OFF from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 I got error 99 instead of 92. On top of that I got an error on 7-c.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071&page=17
Ok folks thanks to c5satelite and other helpful folks at S OFF PARTY AND IRC we figured out how to fix this whole "error 99" shenanigans.
Step 1. Download the latest stockish ROM (I used Viper 3.2.3)
Step 2. Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the kernel.. then reboot back into recovery
Step 3. Wipe /system and factory reset in TWRP
Step 4. Install rom in TWRP
Step 5. For *Viper Only* Don't wipe in Aroma, and uncheck reboot at the end.
Step 6. Reboot into bootloader from recovery (Don't boot into the ROM)
Step 7. Follow the instructions in the OP to a T ... read reread.. go get some coffee.. and try again.. hopefully you see Error 92 and not 99
This worked for me with ViperROM on hboot 2.14
Thank you to all the folks involved you guys are rockstars from Mars!

Now somewhere in this process, my phone no longer connects to the computer via usb. So I can't even see the sd card through roms or recovery... and now since i wiped system and did a factory reset I can't transfer files.
I tried pushing with adb, but adb says there is no device connected, even though I have it plugged in USB.
Yay for a soft brick!
Is there anything I can do now, or did I just screw myself over right before the finish line?
When you get error 99 you need to force a reboot to the bootloader by holding volume down and power buttons together, then start again (without the adb reboot bootloader command because you're already in bootloader).
Did you factory reset in bootloader? If so you've corrupted your sd card and need to format it by mounting it in TWRP and formatting in Windows.

Well... my phone has no recognizable USB. I just did a factory reset in Hboot after you mentioned it, now theres the error cause sd doesnt exist.
BUT i can't mount. When I click mount on TWRP, nothing happens. No external storage appears on my computer... I don't know whats going on.

I am really a noob at rooting, though there are easy steps. However this confuses me. So if anyone can find a very good guide for rooting my Sensation XE running on ICS, that is noob-friendly.
EDIT: All I need to do is to downgrade my HBoot version to 1.17.xxxx - but I want to find the easiest way to do that.
EDIT2: I unlocked my phone's bootloader. Doesn't help with S-Off though. :/
I will have to wait for Revolutionary to update their tool so that my phone can S-Off (since my phone is 1.27.0000)
May I can downgrade my phone back to Gingerbread, but how? And it looks risky, will that can brick my phone?
I'll press the Thank button if your post is helpful enough.
I have found this to be a very useful guide with ICS https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KEQCpmcLGjbkeLmVU0mpLSwZvjNqLSAmNBqyKMus3Ag/edit?hl=en_US
You may also want to check youtube for the unlockr video tutorials, they typically refer back to xda, but will help if you need a visual reference.

Maybe you will try to use Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com but I can't make sure because I already S-OFF before rooted. But if you find a way to S-OFF you may would like try method above which I use.
I hope you have been s-off before update because unrevoked won't support it right now. If it show LOCKED on bootloader, this is how I root my Sensation XE.
1. Unlocked the phone using htcdev.com account since no other's method seem possible right now. But if you device already unlock you do not have to do this.
Go to hTCDEV register, click "Unlock Bootloader" and follow the instruction.
2. Install custom recovery, since htc recovery won't flash/install flashble zip correctly. For this I use "Android Recovery Manager". Reboot the phone after unlocked process. Connect the phone with usb cable. Open the Android Recovery Manager > Start > ** Download a recovery ** > HTC Sensation > ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 (Pyramid) > follow the instruction on the software. If stuck when device reboot to flash hboot but not yet flash it because can recognised the FASTBOOT(Android Recovery Manager waiting for FASTBOOT). Take out battery, reconnect usb and boot to FASSBOOT.
3. Flash the supersu, as the Android Recovery Manager finish flash the ClockWorkMod you have to install Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip. If fail retry flash 2-3 times, but I am just done 1 time, before on GB I flash two time because fail at 1st time. And now you rooted and reboot your phone.
Try at your own risk.
Summary :
Download Android Recovery Manager and Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip, place the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on sdcard. Unlock the phone on htcdev.com, install custom recovery with Android Recovery Manager and flash the supersuser.
* use Superuser version 3.0.7 because the lower version won't support ICS. Use link given and download the right version.
I am using this method on Sensation XE, so try at your own risk. I will not responsible to anything happen. And please do make sure you backup your device first.
# Just hit the thanks button so I and other's will know this method also work for you ;p

S-On or S-oFF will be in your bootloader screen.
SInce you're relocked you'll have to unlock the bootloader again first. the unlock_code.bin should work again if you still have the one you got when you first unlocked the bootloader. Do you still have the unlock_code.bin?

So the first step is to go to htcdev.com and get a new unlock_code.bin so you can unlock the bootloader.
Htcdev.com has all the instructions to get the unlock_code.bin
Once you receive it you'll want to put the unlock_code.bin in your fastboot folder, boot your phone to bootloader/fastboot and do:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Then select unlock bootloader in your phones screen.
Then verify that it worked in bootloader. If it didn't (sometimes it doesn't work right away) press and hold power to simulate a battery pull, when the screen goes black after capacitive buttons blink a bunch of times, let go of power, press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up and the try again. It should work that time.
Once the bootloader is unlocked post here and I'll guide you through the rest.

Go to install in twrp
Select your Rom.
Follow procedure on phone screen
Reboot phone when flash successful.
Because your hboot is under 1.14 that is all. If it was 1.14 or higher you would have to extract the boot.img from the Rom and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Also with s-on never ruu or ota to 3.18 or you will brick. Installing roms based on 3.18 is fine though.

Thank you! I downloaded the file now. But what about the problem from MD5 Check?
My phone, HTC Sensation XE, is S-ON, on default ROM, and has HBOOT 1.29.000. Needless to say, my phone is not rooted.
The phone is on a boot loop ever since I last took off the battery and placed it back. I sometimes get a message that my Android system is getting upgraded, terminating with an error "System UI has stopped working" before the phone restarts itself again.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software.
How do I get my phone to a normal state? I don't mind rooting the phone if I need to for the purpose of installing default/custom ROM. But I don't know if this would be possible because I only have access to boot screen at present.
Please suggest me suitable solutions. Thank you

Thanks rzr86
I looked into the thread you suggested. For my region and CID, I was not able to get the RUU from the thread. What I could get was this - an OTA zip file that matches my software version exactly (3.33.720.106) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
How do I proceed further with this zip file, since I don't have an executable RUU file?
I am hoping you can be of help -)
(The zip file contains -- META-INF, patch, system, firmware.zip, fotaBoot, version.txt)

I was of the same opinion itsakash, but I am not sure if I can SOFF from the bootloader screen because I have only that option available with me. Can you please refer to me a good guide on this forum where I can SOFF from bootloader?

Yes u can s off from bootloader
Use KGS utility or ganeshp one click root. ,s off method Check general section in sensation forum
Connect mobile to pc on bootloader screen( mobile should say fastboot USB )
And follow instruction carefully

When I try and do SOFF using KGS utility, it restarts my phone because my phone is not HTC dev unlocked. (My phone's motherboard was replaced some time ago, and so I cannot unlock my phone.)
ganeshp's one click root requires SOFF. I can't SOFF using his technique because temp_root.bat doesn't work in bootloader screen.
I am in trouble, and don't look like getting out of it

@ganeshp's one click root doesn't require htc dev unlock (meaning no prequisite permanent root; the guide has steps for temproot).
You just need one boot.
Do this: get the boot.img of your current (stock rom) and type fastboot boot boot.img.

My phone, HTC Sensation XE, is S-ON, on default ROM, and has HBOOT 1.29.000. Needless to say, my phone is not rooted.
The phone is on a boot loop ever since I last took off the battery and placed it back. I sometimes get a message that my Android system is getting upgraded, terminating with an error "System UI has stopped working" before the phone restarts itself again.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software.
How do I get my phone to a normal state? I don't mind rooting the phone if I need to for the purpose of installing default/custom ROM. But I don't know if this would be possible because I only have access to boot screen at present.
Please suggest me suitable solutions. Thank you

I know its a long shot, but you should try doing a factory-reset from the bootloader, just in case it works.
Otherwise run an RUU from the bootloader.
firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?
It really is great to see your input guys.
@Far_SighT: I have tried doing the temp_root method, but it doesn't work for me. I could successfully run temp_root.bat just once (luckily, even in boot loop), but next when I tried doing the Juopunutbear SOFF it missed detecting my phone (again, because of the bootloop)
I don''t know where I can get a boot.img file from; for what it's worth, I could only get an OTA zip file for my region/CID from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
@raz0rf1sh: I have done factory reset several times from bootloader, doesn't help friend. I don't have an RUU for my region/CID, all I have is an OTA zip file for my phone from the link I have specified right above this. Can't seem to get an RUU for firmware base 3.33, and CID HTC__038.

For stock rom go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923629.
Get the rom and extract boot.img.
Then use the earlier command I posted.
Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

I said fastboot boot boot.im instead of fastboot flash boot booti.img as the previous one boots the rom with with the new image but doesn't attempt to write that to the boot partition. Hence it might get him a much needed boot to s-off.

I am able to browse the recovery option from bootloader properly.
And it gives me a little satisfaction to let you know that I was able to change the CID to HTC__001 following your steps. Can you suggest what I should be doing next?

Here are your steps:
Before I can give any advice on the steps you need to take I need to see your bootloader details, the first five lines will do. I can answer your questions though.
1. You can't keep the stock recovery, a custom recovery is required on a modified phone.
2. The commands are issued through a command prompt on a Windows PC (you need to have adb/fastboot installed on the PC).

There are some changes of the planes and because of lack "playing" with my mobile i haven't reply you. So i desided to go for CyanogenMod 11.0 so instractions are:
" 1.S-Off your device (Do this before RUU'ing and it will not wipe your /sdcard).
2.Update to 3.18 RUU or later.
3.Flash a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM with SELinux capabilities).
4.Download latest nightly from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=evita.
5.Locate 4.4 Gapps via a quick Google search.
6.Wipe factory/data reset in recovery before installing CM11.0 (unless you are already on a CM11.0 build).
7.Reboot into recovery and install nightly and gapps."
Before the instraction i think i should root and unlock the bootloader, so i used "[TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V3.0.1 [7-7-2013] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]" to unlock bootloader and root the phone. I have done this. I will (haven't do it yet) s-off and then flash custom recovery. Then it is the easy part i thing, (same as in every device, i have done it to htc desire).
So my question is am i rooted? Some apps like titanium backup and adfree gives me error, that is why i am thinging or i am not rooted or i have to "gain" su access through terminal. For flashing custome recovery i will use "[TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V3.0.1 [7-7-2013] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof]" and for s-off i will try to use this guide "[S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC One XL" any easier suggestions about s-off??
So to make our life easier here is what i get form power button + volume down:

Forget about using the toolkit, all it does is act as a crutch and it clearly hasn't succeeded in rooting your device. Plus, it removes some vital learning experience which you definitely need.
You don't need root yet if you're going to flash a custom ROM. All that's required to install a custom recovery is an unlocked bootloader which you already have. The custom ROMs you want to install are pre-rooted.
To install a recovery is very simple, all it takes is a few fastboot commands. Download the modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once you've done this all you need to do is find a ROM and gapps and install them. Take a look at the Evita FAQ thread and the How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature, they contain some very valuable information that you'll need.

You do need s-off, because you need to run the 3.18 RUU in order to flash any current aosp ROM. You must have s-off before you run the RUU or you'll brick.

I have done everything exept s-off. So now what i get in the "info" screen is what i had before, but at the begging it says *** TAMPERED *** , root works as well. The thing is i tried s-off using this method "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071" and i had exactly what it says i mean both in screens and the 92 error, but i always was s-on when system boot to bootloader at the end. I tried more times and after a point i tried the toolkit, from that point error 92 turned to error 99 (unkown error). Now this holds for both ways that i try. Any ideas what i do wrong? By the way i made a backup before starting the whole procedure. Thanks again and sorry for asking, but everything else was solven by reading and i can not reach as many info about s-off as it was for root.
The tampered flag in your bootloader is normal, that means you have root, nothing to worry about. The error 99 problem can be solved by forcing a reboot to the bootloader (directly after getting error 99) by using the volume down + power button combo, then starting the s-off procedure again from the beginning. Or you could try the Rumrunner s-off method instead. That does require an unsecured kernel though so if you're still on a stock ROM it probably won't work. It should work if you flash the Kickdroid ROM first though.

thanks again!
From all reports I've seen, they're not compatible. But even if you didn't want to flash KitKat ROMs you should never use TWRP 2.5 because it's super buggy and will cause issues. I'd say just flash the unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.0 and install the KitKat ROM of your choice. If you need to go back to stock there are other ways apart from a backup you can do it.

There's no such thing as a soft brick, a phone is either bricked or it isn't. Do as exad suggested and flash a Sense ROM then get s-off, then update your firmware (which is probably what was your actual problem).

The fact is you don't actually need s-off to flash cyanogenmod. You only need s-off to run the 3.18 RUU which updates your firmware, which you don't need to do because your firmware is fine. This brings me back to the other question you didn't answer: what recovery do you have installed?

THis is the only version that is working for me, I tried clockworkmod, and higher or lower version for TWRP, but I cant mount USB storage through any of those except 2.6.3.0
Recovery version please.

You just need to extract the boot.img from the rom you are flashing, put it in your adb/fastboot folder and then after flashing the rom.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then you will be able to boot it.
I suggest getting S-OFF using rumrunner so you don't need to take this step anymore. will also protect you in case you need to RUU.

I know what phone you have. an evita. Says so in your bootloader
You need unofficial 2.6.3 from original android dev. if you want to flash cm as you need SE Linux support.
Any sense rom should work on official twrp 2.6.3
make sure you wipe system cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing.
This is what you should do to rule out every issue.
Download unofficial 2.6.3
Check the Md5 of your download
put it in your fastboot folder
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery unnoficialrecoveryfilename.img
select recovery in bootloader
wipe cache, dalvik, system in wipe, advanced wipe
then do a factory reset for safe measure
flash your rom
wipe cache and dalvik
reboot to bootloader
extract the boot.img from the rom put it in your fastboot folder
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
