i got htc sensation 4g running android version 2.3.4 , i want to root, s-off and every other thing. i tried some of the solution given in the forum, but nothing is working. please help me . i new to this HTC device
i unlocked the bootloader, but now i can't get pass the 'wire trick' step. so now my phone either starts up on JuopunutBear screen or the bootloader screen when i remove the battery.
i want to postpone s off to some later time, for now i just want to undo this s off step so that i can use my phone.
how can i do this please guide me:silly:

juopunutbear method doesn't work with hboot version lower than 1.27
if you want to S-OFF use revolutionary method in the link i gave you
and what do you mean by undo S-OFF?
how far did you go with juopunutbear method?
actually i upgraded it to 4.0.3 ics, hboot to 1.27.0000. so i was using juopunutbear method. i was s-offing my htc my couldn't get pass the 'wire trick' step.
i was following this post by Flow-Wolf : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053, and successfully unlocked the bootloader.
by 'undo s-off' i mean to say that after unlocking bootloader i was able to use my phone, like making and receiving calls and other stuff. but when i started s-off process and i came across the 'wire trick' step, my phone just boot upto either Juopunutbear Screen or bootloader screen. so i just want to go back to the earlier stage ( that was after unlocking bootloader and before starting s-off process). i urgently need my phone for next seven days, because i have to make some very important calls:fingers-crossed:. so i just want to postpone this s-off process.
(thanks for your input rzr86)

you just need to remove the temp root with removetemproot.bat file(or whatever it calls)
in any case you decide to S-OFF again use this guide

i also tried Firewater but ended up on error : Kernel contains anti Firewater patch. so i decided to flash kernel, but flash needs custom recovery and recovery needs Root access. so i tried to Root the device and managed to Root my device :victory: and its now Rooted perfectly, the tut was from one of your link in some another thread. (thanks)
now i want to flash a kernel, can u please suggest me which kernel will work on my device, i tried flashing SebastianFM Overclocked kernel v1.5.2 but it didn't worked.
please tell me which kernel will work on my device.
phone specifications:
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense version 3.6
Kernel version 3.0.16 htc [email protected]#1
Build number 3.32.531.14
if you have stock rom it should work
if you still are on S-ON you have to enable smartflash first from 4ext recovery
then flash the kernel
yes Smartflash was enabled, tried again but still no success
