If you're sitting there patiently, waiting for some proper S-off action for your HTC Sensation, it appears you might not have to wait much longer, as the folks at AlphaRev apparently have a properly hacked Pyramid in their hands. S-off, of course, is important for having full access to the lower levels of the device. Without it, things like custom ROMs are a wee bit more difficult to accomplish.

Anyhoo, stay tuned for when we see a public release. Until then, enjoy the video.

Thanks, Franky!

That's not a picture of an Evo 3D with AlphaRev S-OFF. That's just an Evo 3D shipped with S-OFF. There's plenty of them in the wild.

leerage says:

SHIP S-OFF doesn't mean anything. Unlocked EVO 4G's say the same thing, and mine didn't certainly didn't come shipped S-OFF. I've asked in the alpharev irc, it is a proof of concept.

I'd like to win an EVO 3D somehow.
