[Q] how does root htc incredible 2 affect sensation root?

---

So....alpha rev has managed to attain permanent root on the htc incredible 2. a locked phone.

is it the same locking mechanism and will the root processes of this phone give us hints about to go about rooting sensation?

FINALLY.. A Q&A SECTION!! CHRIST.

Back on topic, i'm wondering the same thing. I HIGHLY doubt it though since no one has even found TEMP root for our device yet. We need to at least get temp root before anything.

We shall see maybe the same team will start working on the Sensation

no one will or can root the sensation until htc sends out the update that will unlock the bootloaders, sorry guys. with the bootloader locked, there is no way to get s-off and no phone has the same rooting method.

The problem is that to gain permanent root - we first need to get temp root.

As of this moment - getting temp root is impossible since HTC patched it.

So our hope is to figure out a way to get temp root, in order to get full permanent root on the Sensation.

Not entirely true. The G2 had a locked bootloader and came S-on, so did the MT4G. Htc never released a S-off bootloader for either. I believe both were done with ENG boot leaks.

The difference is the sensation is a signed bootloader which is different than either the g2 and the mt4g

Yeah thats correct, the G2 and the MT4G have the same rooting methods, and we got the bootloader unlocked but finding an exploit which powers down the eMMC chip and allow us to turn S-OFF
