the wildfire universal bootloader unlocker wont work for sensation..its for old NAND devices...i've tested that myself on some ppl

(its confirmed i even talked about this with hyuh and jcase <- JB SOFF guys so they confirmed it too)

Also tacoroot is patched in newer Hboots...i.e tacoroot wont work for devices having Hboot >1.18 (i.e. 1.2x)

there is currently another temp root exploit available and it was submitted to some devs for making root exploits )

chk these posts for better understanding

  • thanks for the info ,i read something like that before from one of tinky Post but i was reading quickly , i posted it because the developer claims so , i 'll check those Posts
  • he is Hboot 1.18 he can use tacoroot or downgrade but he doesn't want to use htc dev , and new temp method it is a good news for sensation , becoming better every day
  • tacoroot link and step by step [Guide] Fix for Revolutionary S-OFF fails on OTA S-ON update
  • taco root basically grant temp root for the device and put the device in boot loop in an unstable mode , during that boot loop you will run revolutionary and it would get s-off then you take out the device from that unstable state and stop the boot loop either way before Battery dies

  • glad everything went good
  • go here for additional links if you face problems withrecovery , SU , ...etc , link is post # 2 , follow title2) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-OFF Devices )
  • don't install sense 4 now , just wait until stable version is released , Don't install AOSP or AOKP Roms ,they could cause brick
  • i recommend one rom only very safe and very stable ARHD 6.6.4

  • in the same thread you brought this info from , there is how to get your cid and mid " fastboot getvar cid " and " fastboot getvar mid " , make sure to your cid and mid are mentioned inside this info
  • htc sensation sold by t-mobile usa is sensation 4G , modelid: PG5810000 ,
  • for any ICS rom the developer will mention the required firmware version
  • all recent ICS roms are based on firmware 3.32 , and in case the developer don't mention that , then in OP rom Feature he will mention the base of his rom " i.e the RUU version that he built his rom upon " ,
  • RUU version for example 3.32.401.105 the first two cells will show firmware version 3.32
  • firmware 3.32 includes hboot 1.27and that is the usual hboot for recent ICS Roms , no problem to use it , it is safe to use it with suitable ICS Rom
  • what you are talking about is hboot 1.29 , which i believe is received through OTA update only
  • so if the custom rom is based on firmware 3.32 and your cid and mid match t-mobile then use this

  • well , i had a VIVOW " incredible 2 " for almost a year , i just give it to my sister few weeks ago , also fair knowledge about VIVO " incredible S "
  • But the idea of one member supporting a device is not practical , cause every one interest is different " some like themes ,...etc "
  • also incredible 2 community is very limited and i can say maybe aggressive , and i don't see much members there that will help in that





thank you for the link. but for future reference, is there an easy way to search to find them myself? is there a rom thread or something?

also, if i root the phone first, i then install this rom as i would a custom ROM, correct?

there are a lot of "bricked sensation" thread :O :O
people bricked there sensation even after flashing the rom.few of them got brick while using the rom!!

Hi,

There are millions of units out there,and we only see a relatively few of them in these forums.
Most people only post with problems,and a lot of people do not read threads and information properly.
The bricks are quite few and far between.

Read things,then read them again.
Familiarize yourself with the processes involved,and you will be fine.

:)

Significant flashing/rooting/brick issue - Thanks in advance

Hi All -

I've been up for 9 hours straight, am frustrated, and just want a working phone. So I apologize in advance for noob-ness or general crankiness!

1) I have a T-Mo Sensation 4G. Initially, I successfully rooted the device using the Revolutionary rootkit, and got S-OFF. I believe I walso also able to get SuperCID correctly.

2) Yesterday, I wanted to flash the Android revolution HD for sensation and followed Mike1986's instructions to do so.

3) That flash didn't seem to work, and I got stuck at the Beats Audio loading screen.

4) Eventually, I tried to flash back to stock TMOUS RUU, but still got stuch at HTC boot screen.

4) What happened next was a big blur of multiple tries of flashing firmware, roms, radios, etc - frankly I have no idea what firmware I have, but here is the situation:

- The phone still hangs at HTC screen.
- 4ext and Clockword mod do not seem to be installed any longer, as the RUU wiped them.
- I AM able to boot into bootloader, and this is the information that I get:

***LOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 1.18.0000
RADIO- 1-.14.9035.01_M
eMMc-boot
AUG 2 2011.22:35:52

All I want is the ability to get my stock Rom back - or potentially to flash Revolution HD successfully if possible.

Tried to unlock the bootloader, but I don't know how to do that from fastboot.

Oh tech gods of xda...please help a brother out, and donation will be on its way!!

  • S-OFF devices don't and should not use htc dev to unlock bootloader , to unlock bootloader just flash suitable friendly firmware Package
  • flash firmware 1.17 from bootloader :
    • firmware link User Friendly Firmware Upgrade
    • to know your cid use this command fastboot getvar cid
    • if you are supercid choose firmware 1.17 any package , if not then choose firmware 1.17 according to your cid
  • install Custon Recovery and flash a GB Custom rom , done
  • to install ICS Roms , you have to install all of " super wipe then custom rom then go to bootloader and install ICS firmware " , All of them before first boot
  • links for Custom recovery and ICS Guides and easy method to install ICS , ... etc is here , Post # 2 , follow title "2) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-OFF Devices ) "

I am nervous about the official ICS update by T-Mobile. Apparently they shut off Wifi and/or Wi-Fi Tethering. Is this true? I have an unlimited data plan and I am not on a contract. T-Mobile is full of nonsense and it is saddens me to see how companies are becoming more greedy than ever before and it will only continue to get worse. At least they don't charge for GPS usage like AT&T does.

  • look at those two Posts 69551 and 69565 , better read them both
summary of them
  • TMO person in the US who clarified that WiFi Hotspot is NOT mandatory and that they would be making sure the scripts in the other call centers were fixed right away. Which is what I figured was the case from the beginning, but as I said they really pissed me off there. "

  • TMO supervisor she confirmed that WiFi Hotspot is NOT a required feature to get the ICS update.

  • a notification has been sent out to all agents instructing them that this feature is NOT mandatory and is NOT required for the Ice Cream Sandwich update and they are not to tell people that it is required. This is an OTA update and the WiFi Hotspot feature is not mandatory or required to get it or use it."
