[Q] Problems with installing Sensation > Sensation XE rom from start - noob error?

[jsheathcote]

Hi All.

Noob alert!!!!!!

Straight off the bat I'm having problems performing my first ROM upgrade.

Following the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and downloading the S-OFF utility I immediately get stuck.

Downloaded the Windows version of S-Off, unzipped it to a folder and ran it, only to get a dos window flash on and off so fast I can't see the error. I can just about make out it saying something like "HTC Sync is incompatible with this tool"

What am I doing wrong? Had a dig around the thread but with over 2000 pages....couldn't find any hints last night. I've since checked through numerous YouTube videos and I still can't see what, if anything that I'm doing wrong.

I have tried it on both my PC and Laptop just in case it was an OS issue.

Sorry to bother but driving me nuts and frustration getting the better of me.

Hi,

You have to be careful to read everything.
Did you go to the revolutionary page and download and read the documentation page?
It includes links to drivers you will need .
As i remember it the phone has to be plugged in via USB before you start.
And did you fill out the beta key as well.
Uninstall HTC SYNC.

First, install HTC sync to get the needed drivers, then uninstall it. The drivers will be left on your PC. Also, temporarily close any antivirus while running revo
