I ran the revolutionary utility to get S-OFF. According to my hboot screen, I now have S-OFF. Step 2 is to install recovery which is where I am stuck. When I plug my phone into my PC (phone in HTC Sync mode; not the hboot screen), I get "pyramid, with hboot 1.20 is not supported". Looking at my hboot screen, I see...
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 15 2011, 21:14:10
At this stage, should I just follow the HTCDev process to unlock the bootloader? Not sure where to proceed.
Any attempts to flash a recovery using PG58IMG on the SD Card immediately generates "incorrect model id" error. After reviewing this post, I tried the Android Flasher utility, but it gives a no permission error.
you should be able to go back down to 1.17 eng boot with IMG.zip file, you are still s-off so should pass through
I tried the ENG hboot posted on this thread. I loaded the zip file onto the root of my SD card. Boot phone into hboot. Device starts to read the file and then reports: "model ID incorrect!".
Here is a pic of my hboot screen: h t t p : / / img542.imageshack.us/img542/4936/imag0197n.jpg
Since my hboot currently reads LOCKED, do you think i should unlock it from HTCDev? Then, in theory, i should be able to flash different hboot/recovery.
Fixed!! I installed the latest RUU for my carrier from this thread. The RUU restored my device, radio, hboot [1.17.0008], & recovery back to it's original state [S-On]. Device is now back to the way it was when i opened the box.
After that, I was able to re-run Revolutionary and this time it worked. I now have S-OFF, correct hboot, and rooted stock ROM.
wow my device become like your S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader..
will do your method this evening

no this does not carrier unlock the phone, it unlocks security to the phone for deving purposes/or installing custom recoverys,and Rom builds,
there is way to carrier unlock there is guide on how to do that but you do need to be rooted

modelID incorrect.
from now on my HTC is not starting just the white screen with HTC then to HTC quitely brillient then repeating same. please help me how to solve this.
the HBOOT is now 1.27 before S-OFF its 1.18
thanking you inadvance
n00b question guys.
i just got a used Sensation. mine says ****LOCKED****
but next line says S-OFF.
does it mean my bootloader is unlocked?
i'm confused because i went to htc dev and got the unlock.bin file for my sensation. the problem is when i get to the final yes/no screen, i can only choose NO option. no matter how many times i press power button on yes, it won't work. only when i choose "no",it will reboot.

S-On means you will need to run revolutionary again. That tool should S-Off your hboot as well as replace it with the custom revolutionary hboot. Can you try running the tool again and checking to ensure it changes it to S-Off?

If you still have your update zip file, extract firmware.zip from it. Rename to PG58IMG.zip, place on root of sdcard, boot into bootloader and allow bootloader to update with all images. You can also try pushing the boot image directly via fastboot. Another option might be to flash hboot with ENG hboot before flashing with OTA update hboot.
How do you make an ruu a zip.?? And how do you flash the hboot via bootloader. Thanks so much for helping

After the OTA it WILL say locked as that's normal - it's still stock. Don't worry about it
The PG58IMG.zip will update all partitions to latest including hboot.

Nevermind, LOCKED does mean that it has been tampered.

Did you return CID to the stock value of T-MOB010?
***Locked*** is how the HBOOT will show when it's locked by HTC, you can then 'unlock' it using their official tool on their website. It does NOT mean it's been tampered with.
If I was to go and buy a Sensation today the HBOOT will say ***LOCKED*** out the box

OK Sorry wrong terminology, I was referring to: http://htcdev.com/bootloader
I know many folks have used the HTC unlock method, I don't know what the limitations with it are as I used Revolutionary. My thoughts were can you use the HTC Unlock process then flash the F/W using PB58IMG.zip back to 1.17 the use revolutionary to get full S-OFF. I don't know if that's possible but ......
I know they keep a record that you've used it on your phone.
no, that doesn't give you s-off, it just unlocks your bootloader, but thanks for trying!

Flash the firmware from Mike's sticky. 3.24/3.25 gives hboot 1.27.1100, but I think this version is included with later fw releases too.
Does the remote: not allowed error appear in bootloader, relating to a particular part of the fw update - e.g. radio?

now I stuck in bootloader... now I just wanna install some room s-off,s-on no matter :| but I can't run recovery,
I trying this
STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. BEWARE THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING READ BEFORE GOING TO STEP 1.
YOU MUST Follow this correctly otherwise you could semi-brick your device (Semi bricks recovery by re-flashing RUU). If you follow it correctly YOU WILL GET S-ON SUCCESSFULLY -confirmed by other users
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong but i will help in every situation. 2 unrecoverable bricks so far. 1 due to not flashing RUU
First time i did this with a custom ROM installed - semi-bricked my device (couldn't boot due to security warning as S-on doesn't work with custom roms), restored it using RUU.exe
Second time after S-off i took the following steps and successfully went back to S-ON without any problems and booted up into stock rom.
Confirmed to work by several others as well as myself
1. Follow Step 4 above to get SuperCID - Skip if you already have it
2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful
So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
3. Make sure when you download the RUU. download the same or similiar RUU version as your phone came with (e.g. Tmous or EU or Asian etc). As long as you install a stock rom similiar to what you had you should be ok. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
4. Switch your phone on now and let it boot for the first time and just skip through the welcome screen.
5. Go back to Step 4 - SUPERCID and go through 1 to 7 to get to the fastboot bootloader. (so just do what you did before, put adb files in local disk, adb reboot bootloader etc)
6. enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
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
The above method works successfully. So do not under any circumstances try this without going back to stock first using Ruu.exe. and Follow the instructions correctly if you want S-on WITHOUT problems Any doubts or questions PM me and i will get back to you and help you.
Donations welcome as i had a very shaky night experimenting and bricking my device (and having a panic attack over it) to find a safe method for successfully getting S-on back for all you out there complaining about warranty.

Hey guys,
tonight I tried to unlock my HBoot 1.27 Sensation with T-Mobile Germany branding.
I used the htcdev method successfully. Then I installed 4ext recovery.
Till now everything was fine.
But then I thought, I could wipe the old T-Mobile stuff from NAND, in order to install CM9.
But now I have an empty S-On, htcdev unlocked phone and can not install any ROM, because there are no ICS RUU files availble for TMobile Germany phones.
4ext recovery is working fine.
So, what can I do now to S-OFF my phone, or to get any ROM on it?
I do not own any backups
