Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Hi,
It has been a long while since I did this.
But S/N does stand for serial number.

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP
Maybe I should just update and do it the way I've done before. :-/
Maybe I need an SD in the phone?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.
Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?
I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.
My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

Just tried to install Cyanogenmod for the first time but i am also stuck like many others. So excuse me for any noobness.
Got an HTC one S. Installed Cyanogenmod 1.0.0-ville (stable), rooted with openrecovery. Forgot to wipe the data and cache before install so thought that might be the reason for not getting past the Cyanogen BOOT screen, did it afterwards still no response. Followed instructions coming from this thread but am stuck with he ""waiting for device" error when executing fastboot flash boot boot.img. I think it has something to do with not having the USB debug mode. Fastboot doesnt recognize the device.
The thing that puzzles me is that at point 2 of the instuctions USB debugging must be enabled, how can i check this mode is enabled without getting into the Android device settings?
Sounds like a driver issue to me. Have you used the phone on that computer before.

Hmm... Maybe try re-installing HTC Sync and the drivers on your PC. This post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 has a link for the drivers.
Just curios - what hboot, radio do you have? Are you s-on or s-off? And what TWRP version are you using?
Did you make a backup you could restore?
**Edit**
One last thought, what ROM were you running before? Was it stock? I'm wondering if you could flash a rom that works with the stock kernel (maybe TrickDroid 7.0?). It depends on what you were running before. Other option is to run an RUU to get back to stock,and then start from scratch. Can be a pain, but will give you a fresh start. I'm sure those aren't the only solutions, as I'm still learning all this stuff.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions...

Glad you got it sorted out!
As the title says: I'm trying to install the 3.18 RUU for my AT&T HTC One X. I'm currently on an old build of CM10.1 (beautifully maintained by H8rift) and was wanting to try the latest build he posted with the 3.4 Kernel. I am S-Off and Unlocked. I searched the forum (internal search seems to be broken at the moment) and all I keep seeing is mostly go to fastboot THEN run the RUU. Well I'm in fastboot (enabled the menu from within CM...less I just misunderstood that completely). Fastboot shows "Fastboot USB" but the RUU still gives Error 170. What did I do wrong?
Running this on a Windows 8 x64 system, installed HTC Sync Manager (still didn't help). I updated the Android SDK Tools to the latest version. My CID is all 1's (as per the S-Off directions). I'm at a loss here hehe.
Ooh I have TWRP 2.4.1.0. And yes I barely post, just always looking, reading, etc.
Is the USB port you're using 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 3.0 (it should have the USB icon and a little ss) try switching to 2.0. Also, try running RUU while not in fastboot.

Yup running it on my USB 2.0 ports. Tried my case ports and the motherboard ones, same thing. Also just tried it with the phone booted. No dice. Even using the HTC USB Cable (not like there should be a difference but hey, just in case). Maybe I should threaten the phone...with a hammer. (Nah I'm not that mean).

if while in fastboot mode fastboot devices does not show the device, The RUU will not work.

Hey you said you were on Windows 8. You may have to manually install the driver to get it work, that's what I had to do. Or you could use the universal adb driver, but if you're gonna RUU, I'd be safe and use the HTC one.

Alrite after removing both managers (HTC and Samsung), reinstalling, and then having to turn off debugging then turn it back on...it now sees it
HT25CW****** device (first said offline but I looked at the phone and noticed it was asking for permission).
Time to continue flashing! I think what happened is I had the universal USB drivers but then had to install KIES for my bro so it replaced them. Then installing HTC on top of that made it give up. Thanks you two! I'll post if I have any other strange issues.

Dear Turbo Mach 5,
Could you please provide the detailed steps you followed to RUU your ATT HTC One X.
I am also planning to update my ATT HTC One X with 3.18 RUU to use CM 10.2 based roms.
Please provide this information which will help me to start with my device.
1) Whether we need to re-lock the bootloader ? (I have SuperCID and S-Off)
2) After RUU ing whether we need to unclok the boot loader and root the device if we have SuperCID and S-off?
Thanks and Regards,
Sathish.

You don't need to relock your bootloader to the run the RUU because you have s-off. And your s-off status and unlocked bootloader should survive the RUU process. All you need to do afterwards is flash TWRP recovery again, then you can flash a ROM. Please be aware that cm10.2 is still very alpha and multiple users have reported bricks from running it.

Thank You very much for the clarification and update on cm 10.2 rom.
I was thinking with RUU my bootloader is going to re-lock even though I have S-off.

Hi,
I'm having trouble using the RUU as well. The problem seems to be getting the usb driver for my oneXL working. every time i plug it into my win7 pc, it goes through this installing drivers process but having clicked on "display details", the "android phone" component of the drivers says "failed". I've tried universal adb driver, and HTC usb driver with and without htc sync installed. the HTC sync manager keeps saying there is an update available for usb driver, even though I uninstalled the driver manager and htc sync.
Have not been able to get adb working, when i recently S_OFF my phone I had to use adb over wifi - but it worked.
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!
Your post is a bit confusing as to which drivers you actually have installed. Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC One XL page at HTC.com, install it, connect your phone, drivers will install, uninstall HTC Sync Manager but leave drivers installed. Also, make sure you're using a usb 2.0 port and the HTC cable that came with the phone.

Just had the same issue trying to manually update my M9 to Nougat. Rebooted to download mode (Volume down & Power from off state) and it worked.
For the past couple of months my HTC sensation XE has been flashing the message as "SD card unexpectedly removed" for no apparent reason. restarting the phone temporarily solved the issue. Also the SD card used to get full on its own with the gallery thumbnails folder getting as huge as 3 GBs. This issue occurs less frequently now but for some days the internal memory has been getting filled up on its own!! I have to reset my phone everytime this happens. I contacted the service center but the people there say that they dont have the software required as I bought my phone from dubai!!
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!?!
Will rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM solve the issues?

Yes, it will solve the issue. the SD card message could also come from hardware problems, but that's improbable. If the service denied you anyway, you have nothing to lose, just follow the guide available in the Sensation General forum and S-OFF your phone. You can also use HTCDev unlock to flash custom roms.
Anyway, your issue seems software related, so another ROM might be your solution.
Is S-off necessary?

Yes it is necessary, or else you need to use the HTCDev unlock method, which is HTC's response to S-OFF, which gives access, but not like S-OFF (meaning some parts are still locked). to flash another ROM you need to have your bootloader unlocked either by S-OFF or by HTCDev unlock.

Before anything else. I'd like to know the situation of your phone - still functional? and do you have ADB/FASTBOOT files on your computer? If not, get them.
Try to see if your computer recognizes your device when in bootloader, pass the "fastboot devices" command and see if you get your device. Remember to have your phone show "Fastboot USB" on-screen (in the fastboot menu in bootloader).
have you installed htc sync?
also check if usb debugging mode is enabled from settings
have you installed htc drivers?

I have an HTC One M7 from sprint that I owned for not even 6 months before it started randomly bootlooping and losing signal. I gave up on it and used it as a paper weight, but now I would like to finally get it functional again as my old phone is no longer usable. I am new to Android devices. I have read thread after thread for the past 2 days and have yet to fix this phone.
I have cleared all caches and done factory resets to no avail.
The phone is stuck in bootloop if it is allowed to restart as normal. Once booted, it will immediately reboot if you swipe to unlock. If you wait, it will display "com.htc.htcdialer not responding" before rebooting again. It does not bootloop if you put it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery whatever you call it. I am trying to just load Android Revolution on to the phone instead of retrying the old OS.
I have already unlocked bootloader. I originally tried to push the androidrevolution.zip to the phone, but ADB gave an "error: device not recognized". I tried to install twrp recovery, but fastboot gets stuck at "waiting on device". I understand I'm having issues with the PC not recognizing the phone. The only android thing in device manager is "Android 1.0" and it has no driver installed. I have installed multiple drivers and tried different ports and cables. I cannot use PDANet to install drivers to recognize it because I cannot get access to the phone to enable debug mode. I cannot use sideloading because I can't get the device to be recognized. Everything I try seems like a constant circle.
I don't know if I'm giving enough information or not. I'll answer any question/give whatever info you need to solve this.
Can anyone please give me any insight as to how I can get my phone to work before I get angrier and break it?

If its a software related error you can get rid of it by flashing (installing) the stock firmware again. First you ned to check HBoot and CID. Connect your phone in "fastboot" bode, open commandline and type
fastboot getvar all
Post the output here (Delete your IMEI). Then i will get the right firmware for you and can guide you how to install it.
If the error is hardware related (signal loss?!) you probably can't do much on your own. What brings me no the next question: If you had the phone for just 6 month when the errors occured first, why didn't you let the vendor fix it? Phone still had guarantee.
It just says :
Waiting for device
My computer won't recognize the phone properly.
I took my phone to sprint and was told I would have to pay $65 for a used phone replacement, which I thought was ridiculous. I contacted HTC and was told I would have to pay shipping to send it in, and would be a week before I got an answer for it. (Fix it or refurbished one). So I said screw it, and reactivated my old phone. I'd fix it myself eventually.

Make sure you install the "fastboot" driver correctly. Are you running win 8.1?

I'm pretty positive it's installed correctly. I've deleted it and reinstalled it 3 times. The first two times I did it all manually. The one I'm currently running I got from here:

I meant the HTC driver (for fastboot) -> Your devices must be listed as "My HTC" in the device manager. If it has a yellow exclamation mark, try to install the driver manually for "My HTC".

I had done that before but it didn't work. I tried it again but this time noticed a windows protection blocking it. I disabled it and got it all to work now!
I put the new rom on the phone but it gets stuck at the HTC screen and never loads. I read that I have to change the CID and change to S-OFF for it to work.
However, now I've got another problem that I can't find a solution to ANYWHERE.
I cannot get the phone to S-OFF. Everytime I try to change my CID I get this:
C:\Android>fastboot oem readcid
...
(bootloader) cid: SPCS_001
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
C:\Android>fastboot oem writecid 11111111
...
(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.007s
C:\Android>

I've tried manually changing the CID and using a CID script and both keep giving me the "[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error".
Any ideas??

Is your phone already S-OFF ? Uninstall HTC sync before changing the CID. If you want to flash a unbranded firmware later, make sure that its compatible with your MID.
BTW
Why don't you flash the sprint firmware again to check if your error got fixed.

No, the phone says it's S-ON. If I uninstall HTC Sync, won't that remove the drivers I needed to get my computer to recognize my phone?
I'm sorry I'm new to this, but what is MID?
I thought about retrying the original sprint firmware but I'd honestly rather just try out a new custom one.

My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP recovery. Would I have to remove those to use the Sprint RUU?

Just relock your bootloader to use the ruu BUT if your phone is S-ON you can only RUUs that are newer or the same version number as actually installed on the phone. You can safely uninstall HTC sync, drivers persist.
The RUU link I posted is LP and was just released. Should be newer than what he was running.

I checked the RUU myself. Was just a general information and not a "stop, what are you doing?!''
