[Q] Unlocked T-Mobile Sensation Rooting? - HTC Sensation

I bought an Unlocked T-Mobile Sensation this week. I will make it S-Off, Root and will flash custom ROM. Are the procedures same with a normal HTC Sensation or do i need to do extra things because of T-Mobile?

Should be the same but someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think if u flash a radio u will lose unlock.

Noob question about RUU

I've got a Vodafone branded HTC sensation. I know I can't flash the standard RUU. But will it be ok to flash the latest one for Vodafone UK. I only ask because its sim unlocked and don't want it to lock the sim down.

Nevermind.... Now flash some roms, get rid of the bloatwear...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yeah, I dont think the roms that are out right now work with T-Mobile's radios..
What can I use to get rid of the Bloatwares? I just got my Tmo s-off and rooted. I've been waiting since i bought the phone to get rids of all these useless softwares.

OTA Update To 2.3.4

So I updated my Sensation to 2.3.4 and now I'm just wondering if I have an unlocked bootloader on my phone. Did the OTA give me an advantage to go and root my Sensation?

So then how do I go about rooting it. I don't know if I have S-off or not.

Turn off phone. Hold down lower volume and press power. Then youll see your bootloader screen and look and see if it says s-on.

Mine says locked, so yeah the OTA does not unlock your phone.
Do NOT unlock it. You warrenty will be void and HTC will know.
S OFF, flash CWM, then flash su

All he was asking was if the ota gave him s-off. Thats not gonna happen. The only way your gonna inform htc that you soff is buy them through there website. Just soff through alpharev and root flash radio update and youll be good. There is the direction thread in stickies ok. Kids these days

Sensation does not ask for unlock code

Hi all. I've been using my second-hand bought sensation for a week now. But i have one problem. I have to unlock it to actually be able to use it as a phone.
Why is this a problem? Well, i have followed a guide here on xda to unlock it and have acquired the unlock code. Thing is, the sensation does not ask for the unlock code.
The guy i got it from tried to unlock it himself using "diag" and "s65/s85" but he failed.
So my question is, how do i get it to ask for the unlock code?
Thanks

So there is no way to relock it to unlock it the right way?

How about a complete reset back to stock?
I don't know enough about the unlocking process to know if a complete stock reset would wipe the unlock and leave the phone relocked. But hopefully by me stating the possibility you'll see 3 answers shortly from people who do know nad you can either try it or rule it out.
Never seen a similar relock I have ruu flashed every way on here if u put a att similar card in and it don't ask for code it unlocked
Now if you see x and not a signal then your blocked call tmoble and ask if it can be unblocked most likly not

Well, I don't see x, but I get no reception

Would changing the mainboard solve the problem? (Yes, I'm willing to go that far....)

I've tried to clear s-58 data before. It didn't help, but thanks for trying.
I think i'm just suffering from bad esn.
What model is the phone and what provider are you trying to use? You might need to change the modem to do that look in the radio thread. The modem basically changes the frequency so you can use it on providers who uses a different one.
