Ok, so I've been searching and browsing the forum for hours now...
I want to install a custom rom/kernel/recovery etc etc on my sensation.
It's currently unlocked with Hboot 1.27 and firmware version 3.32.162.52
Everywhere I look on the forum I find that Rooting needs S-off, and to S-off I need Root access!
Can someone please help me

Thanks, but not exactly what I was looking for
I want to either ROOT or S-OFF my sensation... After that I'll install custom roms and whatnot.
Also, when loading a recovery (for example, twrp or 4ext), after that I can't start recovery, it hangs on the htc splash screen, or just reboots the phone
WAIT! just got a working version of 4EXT running, let's mess with this first

It is actually.. It shows you how to flash ROMs with s-on, and they will give you root.. You can also just flash superuser from recovery and you will be rooted
So in short, you don't need s-off for root

got a rom working now, I'll save the S-offing for later.
Thanks for the help
Well, have to S-off anyway now, I've got the revolution rom loaded, but no wifi/radio.
and I need S-off to flash radio

no wifi!
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
You mean the boot.img that's in the kernel right?
cause I couldn't find one in the rom-zip?
Well, manually loaded the boot.img, no goose.
The guys DO say in the rom topic I have to load their radio img...
cleared cache + dalvik, still no wifi
and here comes the new problem:
s-off by Juopunutbear does not support windows 7 ?
So, any tips on getting S-off now ?
or does a kernel include a good radio rom?
If yes, should I just install Sultan Kernel?
installed sultan kernel, still no wifi
Guys, what am I missing!!!
device is now S-off, still can't install a radio.img
I need help here
Try updating to latest firmware and start fresh

ooooh, thats a nice topic, thanks ! I'll have a look
unfortunately, that topic didn't REALLY help me.
I've run across a new problem, I can't fastboot flash boot.img because it says FAILED (remote: not allowed)
What does this mean? I had an unlocked bootloader, but after S-off it looks like it's locked again (says locked in purple on the top)?
Do I need to unlock my bootloader again to be able to fastboot flash? If yes, then how do I do this?
thanks in advance

after achieving S-OFF the bootloader returns to locked situation.(that's why you couldn't perform the fastboot command)
do this now.from this thread flash 3.33 universal
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
but before flashing check md5 sums (important)
thank you VERY much!
I now have an unlocked bootloader, firware 3.33, can't wait to get home and flash that sucker
well, the good news is, I have full "control" over my phone now.
The bad news is, I still can't get wifi to work, I'm trying with 3 different roms and like 6 different kernels. I had it working with darksense and one of their included kernels, can't remember which one anymore though. I'm trying to recreate that same situation again, I'll keep you informed of my "accomplishements"
I do have a question though, what EXACTLY controls my wifi? Is it the Radio ? (radio.img) or maybe Boot? (boot.img)
GETril doesnt run properly on my device, so that's no help yet.
Hello.
I have an htc one xl (evita) which will not boot certain roms. I can boot some roms such as miui v5 and magiRom but I can not figure out why it will not boot roms such as CyanogenMod, ChameleonOS or TeamBaked BB9 as examples. These that will not boot will only boot loop and I'm going froot loop.
I am S-off, HBoot 1.09. Using TWRPv2.3.1.0.
I have tried TWRPv2.5, Hboot >1.09 and flashing boot.bin separately.
I have also tried some suggestions from these posts with no success so far ..

What steps do I need to take to get to 3.18?
I can't seem to find a stock evita recovery image. My understanding is I need to relock boot loader, install stock recovery, upgrade to 3.18 and then restart the process of unlocking. Is this correct? Is the stock recovery located in an original at&t update?

A couple of things to note for others who make look at this thread - After flashing the rom in your link: http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/fi...radio-024p320906-101303234-release-signedexe/
1. Hboot will be at 2.14 - So if you wish, downgrade back to 1.09, otherwise you will need to flash the boot.img and then the rom when trying new roms.
2. The after market recovery (will now be oem recovery) will be gone so be sure to reinstall your preferred recovery (TWRP or CW)
3. The touchscreen may not respond in some roms, so you may have to downgrade your touchscreen panels firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

You actually don't need to downgrade your hboot, if you're s-off you don't need to manually flash boot.img no matter what your hboot version is.

It may be I am mistaken. I thought it was baked but i was also trying a rom I was trying to port. During the time i was flashing from 1.09 to 2.14 and also seen that baked required 2.14. So with all that going on i was just trying boot.img and then the rom to ensure no errors.

If you are after MaximusHD firmware, you should also reflash TWRP or other recovery for villie, and ...
Actually if it would me who want go back, I would use original RUU (that one that can be easily S-Off, SuperCID and so on) so
1) Do HBOOT down grade
2) oem lock
3) flash original RUU
You do not need remove S-Off or SuperCID so only if original RUU will removed them you will need to do it again.

They should not, but if they will gone you have to have a known way how to return them. So I suggest to return to those settings from which you have started. If it was HBOOT 2.15 then flash 2.15 if it was more early release flash that one. If you did your S-Off and SuperCID from this RUU then flash it if not then download exactly that that you already S-Offed.

Better would be S-Off, but yes, you should be able to flash a rom with this.
But don't forget to flash boot.img from your rom with fastboot, every time you flash a new rom.

Don't mix it with official updates from HTC!
A (custom) rom is made not by HTC, this you can use.
A update by HTC don't have a rom.zip inside.
A RUU has a rom inside, but this is cid related.
So better clarify, what you are searching or what you want to do!

Your phone must have android running, then you can try rumrunner.us
Facepalm or moonshine are for previous software versions.
But as it seems, the side is down at the moment.

Depends on, if we are talking about official HTC roms/updates or custom roms. For custom roms you usually don't need to change CID.

You should use SuperSu, because i'm not sure that Superuser is still in development (especially for newer Android versions).
Grab the zip file here and flash in recovery (should also remove Superuser you have already flashed).

This is how I proceed :
1) Downgrade to 2.15 hboot by flashing the old firmware (extract firmware.zip and flash as you did for MaximusHD)
2) Run the latest RUU to get everything clean (I flashed this one)
3) Flash custom recovery with fastboot (TWRP 2.3.X.X)
4) You're done !

In fact, the CID matters if you have one from an operator (have a look here, but not the last one, it's the superCID), in this case, you have to choose a RUU according to your operator.
But being superCID, you can run any RUU, so run the last generic one (see my link) and everything will be ok to start from official clean install. Of course you'll stay S-OFF after running the RUU.
The only thing requested is to be on 2.15 hboot, that's why you have to downgrade to older firmware in order to run this.
Hope it will help.
I have kind of a similar question. After moonshine S-OFF, I'm on modified moonshine HBOOT 2.15.4444. Now I want to go back to the stock HBOOT 2.15.0000. Do I just need to run the RUU to go back? I'm bootloader unlocked, CID T-MOB010, TWRP recovery, and I flashed radio 1.20. Do I need to flash radio back to match the RUU before I run it?
Thanks

Running an RUU is the safest option, although its a bit hit and miss getting the RUU to run correctly. Flashalot recently made a guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678700) if you run into any problems. I would try it without changing the radio, if it doesn't work then flash the matching one and go from there.
Now I cannot recommend this, as I have only tried it once myself and the consequences if it went wrong could mean a dead phone, but this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274) details how you can manually flash a hboot version in RUU mode since you are S-OFF. It comes from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777223. Use it at your own risk, there have been two incidents of bricks but it depends how lucky you are feeling!

Yeah I heard about that method, but I thought it would be safer to just run the RUU even though it's more work. I think the bricks were from flashing the zips in recovery, not the new ones you flash in fastboot. Either way, I didn't feel like risking it.
Thanks! I'll try the RUU.

Wise choice, yeah you are right, the bricks were when they were flashing the zips in recovery. Its actually pretty safe in RUU mode but what's the point of risking it.

In fact, the CID matters if you have one from an operator (have a look here, but not the last one, it's the superCID), in this case, you have to choose a RUU according to your operator.
But being superCID, you can run any RUU, so run the last generic one (see my link) and everything will be ok to start from official clean install. Of course you'll stay S-OFF after running the RUU.
The only thing requested is to be on 2.15 hboot, that's why you have to downgrade to older firmware in order to run this.
Hope it will help.

I have kind of a similar question. After moonshine S-OFF, I'm on modified moonshine HBOOT 2.15.4444. Now I want to go back to the stock HBOOT 2.15.0000. Do I just need to run the RUU to go back? I'm bootloader unlocked, CID T-MOB010, TWRP recovery, and I flashed radio 1.20. Do I need to flash radio back to match the RUU before I run it?
Thanks

Which recovery did you flash? Try TWRP 2.7.0.0.

So actually you can confirm you are on HBOOT 2.15, Pihllz recovery and no rom installed ?
If yes reboot to bootloader, select clear storage, flash this recovery. Your sdcard should be mountable and let you install your rom.
