[Video] AlphaRevX Beats HTC At Its Own Game, Unlocks The Bootloader On The Sensation - EVO 3D To Follow

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Sensation / Sensation 4G (Pyramid)

AlphaRevX, the same team that unlocked and provided full S-OFF for the Incredible S, Desire (GSM and CDMA), Wildfire, Aria, Incredible 2, and Desire S, are back again in a big way: with a full unlock, S-OFF and permanent root for the Sensation. Have a look:

AlphaRevX have already stated that they have full root and S-OFF for the EVO 3D as well, although we're not sure if it uses the same method, as the download has yet to be released.

AlphaRevX is a software HBOOT mod, which is completely reversible and provides a software S-OFF. It lets you root, flash custom recoveries, nandroid back up/restore, and flash custom ROMs - basically, anything your heart and soul desire. I'm not positive whether this gives you write access to /system from within the stock ROM, but in either scenario, a custom ROM would definitely allow that.

To keep up with the latest info on what's going on with this, hit up this thread on XDA.

His love for Android has been noticed in some unlikely places - he once went to a concert and upon meeting the band, the singer said "You're like, Android king, right? Can you you tell me why this doesn't run flash?" and handed Cam his Optimus S.

Hopefully Evo 4G isn't too far off either. I stupidly accepted the GB OTA and still had s-on. Sigh.
