I tried using the bootloader unlock on the HTCdev site, but it gave me an error. Just wondering if the HTC sensation in Canada can be unlocked for free.
Yes, I did. Just follow these instructions HERE

Alright, so I need to root it first. Is there a guide on how to root it as well?

You will need to be s off and rooted. There is instructions in the sticky section of the sensation development forum.

Woot thanks man. Once I turned off HTC Sync I was able to complete the root and unlock the phone.
After Step 2 I was able to unlock the phone, but I decided to complete Step 3 as well and root the phone.

I have rooted my phone revolutionary method and i tried factory reset to unroot but i guess that doesnt work
i tried SuperOneClick but it just stops during unroot and wont continue process
does anyone have step by step instructions on how to remove root?
btw im on stock ROM.
Thanks!!
There's no true way to rid your phone of root, as S=OFF (Security flags are off).
Not even flashing the PDIMG59.zip image will remove the S=OFF.

S-OFF is permanent.
S-ON to S-OFF is a one way trip.
Nothing you can do about this.

I had this phone since it came out, and rooted and S-Off and I had tons of issues. Such as Wifi disconnecting and needing to restart the phone in order for it to work, also sometimes Wifi slowed down to a super crawl. Random reboots, etc. But this probably could of been credited to me dropping it all the time and messing up the internals.
I returned it and got a new one, updated to the latest and haven't rooted. Battery life is amazing, but too much bloatware!!!! Can I root and s-off the latest tmobile software? Cause I tried running the older RUU and that failed to install on my phone.

You are saying that HTC them selves provided a rooting guide? If so can you provide a link for HTC Unlock method.
Thanks in advance

No HTC does not provide a rooting guide. They simply make it easy for you to unlock the bootloader using http://www.htcdev.com/
Once the bootloader is unlock you can root via a few method. There's plenty of sticky thread in the dev section.
This is just one thread

I recommend you install TWRP recovery so that you will find it simpler to flash roms. No need to fastboot flash boot.img.

Please read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24806342#post24806342 especially the first part of that post, where a reasonable user kindly seems to suggest that a fellow user read very easy to find info instead of starting a thread. You must have posted that in anticipation of this thread?
I was previously on 2.20 but downgraded hboot and RUU downgraded to 1.85.
My question is, since I was previously rooted on 2.20 do I just unlock the bootloader and reflash TWRP? Or do I have to re-root my phone?
and to unlock my bootloader, can I just use the unlock code from when I rooted 2.20? From the looks of reading the guides from redpoints index thread I can't. I just want to be sure.
Just unlock with your old token

Hi I was wondering If you can unlock the bootloader after re locking it? I had already rooted the phone and had the bootloader unlocked but after flashing a rom my phone was stuck in bootloop and I had to relock the bootloader to use ruu to fix the bootloop.
I believe you can if you use S Off, I did with mine. There are a few threads on how to do it.

You can re-unlock the bootloader by flashing the unlock token that HTC sent you over e-mail, but you will lose all data on the phone

If they all failed, best to run the 2.20 ruu and then s-off.

Most likely because if you miss one step, you can brick your phone. I would suggest looking in the general section and clicking on ruu collection. Please make sure you read it carefully. Instructions are there. If you still are confused, you can go thru the posts. Reading the comments always help

OK just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37227608 grab the 2.20 ruu for AT&T only. It should say Cingular and ICS. Run that so you can upgrade. Don't download the 3.18 or jb, or else all of this was for nothing.

I stick by that OP shouldn't root. I am really not trying to be insulting, for your own good, if you cannot figure out how to ruu to 2.20, you are clearly not ready. Check the are you ready to root thread in my signature.

Thanks for the lookout, but I've rooted lots of phone and believe it or not I've never had to use ruu at all. I guess this is like using Odin for Samsung phones.

It's just a matter of downloading the ruu and running it with the phone plugged in.

The ruu tells you step by step what to do. These phones are more tempermental than Samsung stuff. If you rush it and miss a step you will probably end up with a paperweight

I agree that Samsung+Odin makes life easier. But I like the challenge in AT&T (and Motorolas). Whatever floats your boat. Glad you got it rooted. Can you put a [fixed] or [solved] tag in your title? That way people can easily find the answer instead of making a new thread

If the OP paid attention to this, he would have been led to the correct 1.85 root method. There is currently only one valid method for 1.85.
