I'm aware how to find out whether the phone is s-off or not, by holding volume down and power to bring up hboot, but how do you exit the hboot screen?
Is it safe to just take out the battery?
Thanks and sorry
Best way is to select FASTBOOT, then you can restart.

Try to unlock. Lots of things went wrong.
First the usb driver installed via installation of HTC Sync.
Open revolutionary and work on it, it stopped at "waiting for fastload".
So that I flushed a file - PG58IMG.zip, according to the noobproof post "method 2" here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
It went wrong because I did not delete the file before rebooting. message: file error CRC.
While I use revolutionary to get into the bootloader again, I see this:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
Hboot - 1.17.0011
RADIO-10.11.9007.27_M3
eMMC-boot
Jun 2 2011,22:31:39
Then I can not use any key combination to enter bootloader.
If I use the revolutionary to get the the bootloader screen, it does not respond to the vol. keys and power key. Have to pull off the battery.
The phone can still boot normally.
Whay should I do to get the clockwork recovery flushed in?
Appreciated!

First thing first, run RUU, then try revolutionary again, but READ THEIR HOW TO's!!!!! Again, read their HOW TO's!!!!!
If you have no RUU available you'll have to mess about with ADB, which is not that easy for a newbee.
Google on how to install ADB and stuff, once it's running and working properly, you have to type
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
But if your buttons still don't work, you won't be able to get into recovery.
Anyway, there are a lot of things you can do, i can sit here all night trying to write up different scenarios, but best thing for you to do is to start from scratch (RUU->REVO etc) AND READ HOW TO and don't rush when you do it.
P.S. Have you tried booting into bootloader by holding -vol button while pressing power button (after battery pull, as if you just shut it down, you might still have fast boot enabled)? Should really start from that.

Already tried many times. Either vol-down + power, or vol-up + power, the phone will start to sense. I can get into bootloader screen via revolutionary, but it does respond to menu change by holding the vol-up, or down and run by power button.
Unlocking the first time. Also new to android. used to be stick with win for years. Thanks Tinky1! I will try revolutionary again. Please stay with me.
New developemnt.
Try the revolutionary again. This time I put the cwm rocovery tools 5010 as a zip on the card beforehand. This time the Rev screen still shows "Communication with the phone interrupted unexpectedlly ......". But on the phone it now shows "Hboot - 1.17.1111". Then I unplug the USB, boot in rocovery. This time it responsed. Wait untill it says update completed, then restart phone into sense home screen.
I guess this time it is alright.
Yes. Now I can goto blue CWM recovery menu. The next figure out which rom to flush my phone. Thanks, Tinky1!

HTC Sensation -- Completed last step to get s-on for warranty purposes. Phone will not power on, have tried everything. Battery turns on a different Sensation. What can I do?!
Sounds like you are the proud owner of a brand new ... brick!
But seriously will it do anything? Did you try booting into the bootloader like step 10 says?
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one u just downloaded in step 1) and then reboot. It should work now

I just replaced the digitizer of my dad's phone. Unfortunatly it's not working.
Now i want to flash the file in the topic below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360638
But the phone is completly stock. Can i get S-OFF and Super CID without a working touchscreen?
-Edit-
Tryed to factory reset, but phone will boot into safe mode. Prolly a waste of time replacing the digitizer...
transfer that file in sd card(just the card, not the folder), then pull the battery out, put it back, and press and hold Vol down+Power, it will send the phone into bootloader(you navigate there with volume buttons and power button), if you do everything properly it will find the file, then follow the steps.
For S-Off follow this guide
And super CID this guide but after you S-Off

Make sure u install an older (non touchscreen version) of recovery so you can navigate
Volume Down+Power will make my phone boot into safe mode, not the bootloader?
Hi,
I just got the phone, and I managed to unlock, root it using the guide in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
I then install MaximusHD 10.0.0
I went thru the Aroma, and I need to go to fastboot for s-off. But the screen is off now. When pressing the power button 3 virtual buttons are blinking, so I guess it's not really bricked.
How could I get into fastboot mode?
Thanks
You should have s-off before installing maximus. Anyway press and hold power button about 10-15 seconds to force close the phone, then press again power button(but don't hold this time) while holding down the "volum down" button. That will let you enter the bootloader and you can access fastboot mod from there. By the way if you see that you have hboot 2.16 in your bootloader you can just flash the boot.img from maximus zip and start using your phone

Hey guys,
Been using my htc sensation for years (rooted, s-off) but bootloader is still locked and I'd need to unlock it.
I'm CM 13 Ivanich's custom rom.
I tried using official HTCDev procedure and I do get to the last last step where I should simply select by pressing volume button up "YES" and confirm by pressing power button to proceed with unlocking the bootloader: the issue is that I select Yes by pressing volume up but when I press power button to confirm that option nothing happens (like it doesn't get the power button confirmation...). However, I press volume down selecting NO option and press the power button for confirmation (thus "aborting" the unlocking procedure and making the phone rebooting), in this case it does get confirmation and phone reboots...
Any ideas how this can be solved?

you don't need htcdev since you are on S-OFF
use 3.33 universal firmware from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions carefully
and before flashing check md5 sums( important)
