Hi guys. I'm new to is android system.. I would like to unlock my bootloader n s-off my sensation xe in order to root my phone and install custom rom.
Based on what I've read I can unlock bootloader from htcdev.. Here is my problem. Normal sensation is not in the device list.. There are sensation t mobile,EU, Arabic, Korea.. Which one should I choose to unlock my bootloader? Mine is on hboot1.29
Some reading also lead me to this JuopunutBear S-OFF works with 1.29.0000 hboot.. With paper clip method.. Does this mean once I s off using this method I get my device unlocked as well? I got confused with this and I can't proceed to root n flash custom rom..
Pls enlighten me.. Thank

QUOTE(ralfmars83 @ Jul 6 2013, 11:28 AM) Why dont u just try to s-off using jeopunutbear? In the end u still can install custom rom without unlocking your bootloader via htcdev. Ok I will s off via jeopunutbear.. then wat is the purpose of unlocking bootloader.. |

QUOTE(badai @ Jul 7 2013, 08:55 PM) s-off will let you write bootloader even if it's locked. you can do stuff like install new firmware and install ROM without unlock bootloader unlock bootloader only let you install ROM with recovery that support it like 4ext where you need to enable smartflash. you need to root first, install recovery, than flash ROM. with s-off you can actually skip the root of your stock ROM and use ADB to install custom recovery, then use it to install custom ROM. way cooler. do u mind to elaborate more on rom with recovery and smartflash? as u said skip the root of stock rom and use adb to install custom recovery.. i don really understand  |
