did you update your Hboot to 1.19? if you did may have to use htcdev site to unlocked, fair warning once unlocked my them, no way to relocking for warranty purposes

HTC is releasing their own version of the unlocker. I'm a bit confused of the difference between the two. Which will be better?

Revolutionary is better for sure. Do you want to give HTC record of your unlock and grounds to automatically deny your warranty claim for clear hardware issues? I sure don't. I'd rather they have no idea that I'm unlocked.

Does Revolutionary have the ability to relock the bootloader? Because once you unlock it your warranty is void no matter what. So this would be a major factor in determining which way to go. I would like to know as I just purchased my sensation yesterday.
Now on a side note I rooted my N1 just after it released. It had some hardware issues I sent it in under warranty and had no issues concerning the warranty and being unlocked. I would like to see what parts of the warranty void upon unlocking via HTCs method. If someone can post a link I would be interested to read up on this.

I would say Revolutionary!
hTC updates - take ages..by the time they come out with any essentials updates, i had changed to another device.
Revolutionary - almost every single day. They listen to our feedbacks n always trying to improve for the community...
Therefore, Revolutionary FTW!

I agree with everyone the revolution is better in every way.
Plus if it gets bricked for HTC its voided and they KNOW it
but for revolution they wont know so if its bricked just drown it or back over it and its unvoided

While Revolutionary doesn't per se, you can do it by simply flashing your stock ROM and switch secuflag back to 3 which will relock you to S-On. Details are in this sticky, oh and the cool thing is if you flash the stock RUU back your bootloader just says PVT Ship S-Off so it looks as if you got your Sensation that way haha
That is exactly what I did. s-off my device via revolutionary method then rooted and super CID. I then re-flashed stock ruu back and now I have stock s-off but with super CID. I'll probably changed it back to Asian CID just for software updates. If that is how software updates check for proper version updates.
Has anyone used the official HTC utility to unlock the bootloader?
Just curious about it, my warranty will be up before I know it and I've never bricked a device beyond repair. I was considering giving it a shot, I always liked my nexus for the official unlock. The Revolutionary header is just annoying haha.
Is anyone aware of any cons of unlocking the bootloader via HTC?
I wouldgo with the revolutionary way.
When doing it the htc way it still shows S-on but unlocked.
I like to have peace of mind and see that mine says s-off

No. HTC unlock only unlocks bootloader. It doesn't give you s-off, and it doesn't give you fastboot write command access like revolutionary does.

Hi guys, apologies in advance if this is a really stupid question but I really wanna know the answer...
What is the difference between what revolutionary does and what unlocking the bootloader with htcdev does?
I am wanting to install a custom rooted gingerbread ROM.
Thanks
Don't know if there are any technical difference, but i believe you have to register at htcdev.
I recomend revolutionary because you get permanent s-off and with htcdev ,it only unlocks some parts of it and you are still s-on plus your warranty gets voided.

Ah ok thanks... will use revolutionary then.
Just out of interest what are you not able to do when you still have s-on?

+1 Use revolutionary. S-OFF, ClockworkMod (CWM) & su can't go wrong with those.
There are also some slick ICS ROMs now, better battery life for me but they do require a Firmware update. If you go down this route, 3.12 F/W can also run GB ROMs. Just make sure you do a Nandroid backup before any ROM changes.
the reason i want to return the phone is the proximity and light sensors stopped working after i received the OTA ICS update. i unlocked the phone and tried a few custom roms but none of them fixed the problem. so i relocked the bootloader and flashed my stock RUU so now its completely back to stock except in the bootloader screen it says "relocked" now instead of "locked". when i send it in will HTC make a big deal out of that? the phone is still s-on and everything.
Yup

I'm sorry, but they will definitely know that you have unlocked the bootloader.
There may be workarounds, but I'm really sorry, I don't know any.
You could try your luck in the Unbrick IRC Channel

There maybe a way to show your Hboot as locked, but how can you tell for sure that HTC doesn't keep a track of the phones that have been unlocked using HTC Dev. You are literally telling them "Hey! I'm about to unlock my bootloader which is going to void my warranty!" I do suppose they keep a track of such things.
Try unlocking again and flash diffent firm and relock it on gb idk nice to see there stalking our phones

Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.

In your case, try using JuopunutBear to S-OFF and see if it restores your bootloader to "locked"
Does it only say that for people who used HTC tool?
revolutionary does not unlock bootloader.
Why not just flash pg58 with stock hboot in it? Or better yet, I believe stock tmous ruu has leaked (you are on tmous, right?)

I'm sorry if there's already a thread for this, but I wanted to know does anyone know how to get the htc one s unrooted, s-off to s-on, and re-lock the bootloader. I want to get my phone back to when I had it. I have and HTC one s T-Mobile (S4). I'm currently on CM10.1 with super cid s-off rooted.
The best way is to download the All in one tool by hansoon2000 but I don't know if the phone than is locked or relocked try out.
