yeah - i guess i'm all backwards and stuff - i rooted, but not s-off, i still have sense but run GO launcher instead. (I like being able to change all my buttons with homemade icons)
you know any apps for identifying & deleting bloatware or is titanium all there is?
A quick 2nd question is... would it be much simpler with s-off?
ok - nearing a point where i'm gonna take the plunge - my only other pre-install question is... is there a way to back my apps so i don't need to reinstall completely from playstore or does this wipe mean ecerything is gone and i need to download/install from scratch again?
i am rooted just not s-off unless i understand the terminology wrong - followed your guide to get root access
truly awesome Scotty - followed your steps and as before, and VOILA! I have a new(ish) Sensation XE - not sure how to check on the overclocking etc but i do know the ROM definitely installed and shows up as the modified software number when i check in settings and all the bloatware is gone.
wanted you to check this screenie cos it showed an error when i flashboot booted ext4 - by complete fluke, i decided to try to load the recovery and my phone booted into ext4 - not sure of the explanation for that but i thought i'd let you know in case someone was stuck after trying to flashboot boot ext4

anyway as i said, many many thanks for the noob-proof guide, the steps really do work on an s-on Sensation, rooted by following your guide - you truly must be a genius
GARRRRRR - Scotty help!!!!
I guess i spoke too soon - your guide does indeed work and the ROM is indeed installed etc. All booted up fine and wonderful - everything was awesome until i tried to connect to Play Store to download Titanium so i could restore all apps - my phone won't connect to Play - it keeps reporting "No Connection - Retry", of course after retry.. same message.
I can access the Internet thru my browser but that connection is a bit ropey too - You think it maybe the radio firmware upgrade?
Was thinking I need to restore to old ROM etc and maybe go to S-off but thought I would ask what you suggested first
edit - i can access play store occasionally and intermittently - the connection appears to be switching between 3G and H - not sure what H is but after googling it, it seems it is better than 3g, i just wonder if this is the problem as i didn't upgrade my radio firmware - if this isn't your area, let me know as you've already be extremely helpful and provided more than your share of genius
Adrian_X said:Hey Scotty, I'm having some big problems trying to root my gfs sensation 4g. I followed your "noob rooting guide" and got everything done in it up to "fastboot devices". Everything works fine just like you described it till I get to that part. Then when I run that command, absolutely nothing happens. I don't know what to do, and I really want to put a new rom on her phone because its slugish as all hell. Please help!
