Hey,

few days ago i got a random reboot on my phone and after that nothing worked ... i found out that my phone is bricked :S
but happily there is an unblock Project here on XDA and it worked for me.
My phone now run the stock 4.0.3 ICS version from HTC.
When i now try to root my Sensation i got the message from control bear that my device is already s-off, but all other apps&programms which need root doesn't work.
I already followed the S-on guide but it didn't help me.

Have some of u maybe an idea how i can get back my root access ?

thanks
Moritz

wifi is enabled,

the networks shows connect ....
and than jump back to saved ...

maybe 4ext doesn't work because the bootloader is s-on ?

when you are trying to flash 4ext does your hboot screen says fastboot usb?
do you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings?

try to flash another recovery and see if you have access

Use a ruu.exe to return to stock
Relock first the bootloader

After ruu installation unlock bootloader again and flash 4ext
See then if you have access

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

very strange:confused:
it is impossible after ruu and after recovery's installation that you still can't enter to recovery
are you sure you are doing everything correctly?(about recovery)
i am out of ideas right now:(

edit : previously i think i gave the command in the wrong way
put the recovery.img in your adb and fastboot folder and then do this command
fastboot reboot recovery.img or fastboot reboot recovery recovery.img (i don't remember exactly)
