Hi all. I am new to android and need some help. i both sensation before few days and i am trying to learn as much as i can for the time i have i was iphone user for long time and know everything about it but now want to try to learn things about android. i wanted to add some custom rom to my sensation but i just found out that i have hboot 1.27.0000 and S-ON. i have android 4.0.3 installed on my phone.
i was reading lot about how to take S-OFF and to root mu phone but i cant get all
as far i found out i cant do S-off because revolutionary don't support 1.27 boot. am i right about this?
also i read that i can do some htcdev S-off but that i will lose warranty. is this right?
today i found some other method with some wire but i don't know is that really good way to do this..
i need this so i can add custom rom like ARHD or something like that. is there way to do this on my phone or i need to wait for new version of revolutionary?
thx for all your help i rly want to learn as much i can without opening new threads but there is so much things about andorid and i am just noob for it
if you have time and patient to help me i would really appreciate it.
As of now you can't soff yet there working on it one came out today but don't know much on it you can put only a few Roma on as of right now you have to wait

Hmm you got 1.27 HBOOT and S-OFF...
so yeah you can't soff now...the other thread you've seen might be "unbricking sensation thread" that's not advisable to do until you know what you are doing.
So there is still one way for you to install custom ...i.e. HTC dev unlocked bootloader..this will give you an unlocked bootloader which is enough to get a custom Rom running on your device...but remember using HTC dev unlocked bootloader may void your warranty..and there's no way you can argue with them if in some case you require warranty as they will have phone details logged once you do unlock from HTC dev....so try it at your own risk. Also HTC dev unlock doesn't give "S-OFF" but only unlocks bootloader but still you can flash custom roms if you got this so called unlocked bootloader.
Once you got the unlocked bootloader...you can flash a recovery..preferrebly 4EXT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
Get the recovery updater apk on your sd card ...and install the apk....and then open it up and flash the latest 4EXT recovery which has smart flash on.
Remember to say "yes" when you are asked whether you are S-ON as this will enable smart flash mode.
Once you got recovery installed you can download the Rom (I guess it is ARHD as you've mentioned it) and flash it through recovery..remember to do a nandroid backup before you flash this new Rom...just to be safe in case something screwed up happens

Yeah try the first link to get unloacked bootloader...afaik no one tried this on sensation...but try this as he is saying it won't brick your device...he said it is a hit or miss so try it
And please let me know if you are successful in getting unlocked
Hello, i have htc evo 3d, unlocked, S-on, HBOOT 1.49.0018, KingCobra Rom (i put i t because my phone won't start - just freeze on startup HTC Screen). I'm not sure i did everything right, because now Wireless says "error", and my mobile internet is not stable. I'm not sure that i rooted my phone correctly, somewhere i read first i should downgrade Hboot, and i tried but no effect it's still 0018. I will appreciate if u can suggest me how to make everything on my HTC work.
sorry for my bad engish, hope it's understandable.
Thank you in advance.
p.s. i tried almost everything, unlock root and htc supertool v3 too
Hi guys this is my first thread so i hope i have posted in the correct section, and posted the right info.
a couple of days ago, i bought a HTC Sensation XE off of a online website.
it is an unlocked phone, and i am using it on telstra.
the reception on it was poor, so i thought i might flash a x.xx.401.xx baseband to it, and see what happened.
so i unlocked the bootloader with HTC Dev. then i flashed clockwork recovery mod 5.0.0.2.0 onto it using ADB. i then flashed Android Revolution HD 6.6.3 onto my phone. this was without it being S-OFF and it was not rooted.
i was really excited, but none of the features i had hoped for came with it (likely because i wasnt rooted) so i decided to flash a stock ICS rom onto it.
so, i have done all of that.... AND NOW MY WIFI DOESNT WORK!!!!! I LOVE MY WIFI! when i try to turn the wifi on, it just says "error", to the left of the on/off toggle at the top of the settings screen..
any ideas on how to fix it?
please help to try and fix it

It's probably the HTC-DEV unlock that made this error. Try to unlock your phone (bootloader) via the Revolutionary method. Then reflash the firmware (last one). And finally, flash your favorite rom. This will solve your problem. Feel free to post additional questions.

i cant flash it via revolutionary.... my hboot is 1.27.0000
sorry, i mean unlock by revolutionary.
also, now that i check, my gps does not work correctly, so i am assuming this means i have the wrong radio flashed onto my device? any suggestions?
Maybe radio or kernel but if you have an HTC RUU (original rom) this won't happend. So it's most likely a wrong unlock bootloader error, if this means something. Have you tried to unlock the bootloader via htc-dev again? Maybe you should use the new way to s-off (unlock bootloader), the one called jaggerbear or something like that (have a look in the dev section).

if you are soff then the thread youve used is not for you ..especially you should not not do step #3 ..
anyways the stuck at beas logo is because of firmware ...
now that you want to go back to stock ..have a good read at this (it will help you in finding right RUU and flash it )
so i got a htc sensation z710e and works fine, network unlocked.
i have a smart watch but the thing wont work on ics ONLY above so i decided to stick a custom rom on to bring me up to the required android version to use said watch.
my phone has the 127.000 hbooot and it says s on but unlocked above in pink after i ran windroid and unlocked bootloader, it also had root and cm recovery 5.2.0.2 or watever number it was.
so on i went to try and install a custom rom. 1st i did cm-9.1.0-pyramid and it just hung on the cm9 boot up screen THEN i did cm-12-20141205-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid and it goot error 0 so never did nothing. and lastly i tried revolution 1.03 and it was promising went thru all the installation buff and jargon and then same again just hangs on the htc boot logo.
before i install zip files i wipe dalvaik. battery and data i think its called.
i can still get into recovery and hboot but cannot for the life of me get a rom to boot and tbh its draining the life out of me as i havent done a android in yrs.
tried looking for odin and download mode but im unsure if htc has them?
p.s just tried a factory wipe and still the same. hanging at the htc screen.
and advice would be great as i REALLY dont wanna tell the wife i need another 50 qwid for a new phone. she wont be chuffed.
cheers.
UPDATE-- managed to install-rmk-pyramid-stock_ics_3.32.401.3-v1 all working,well apart from no bloody wifi!!. known fault?
so now i think i will have to gain s-off and then move on,,, ??
UPDATE-- managed to gain s-off and that seemed to fix the no wifi? ha,,,, but i had to re unlock the bootloader, also got supser cid
so now im s-off with unlocked bootloader and looking for jelly bean, i think ima go with http://cm-10.2-20131028-albinoman887-pyramid.zip/
hopefully il just eed to exit into recovery and flash and il be golden.... kinda glad nobody replied as it made me batter my own mind working it out
hi, it didnt boot before when u were s-on because u need to flash the boot.img after u flashed the rom. but u got sorted in the end. :thumbup:
