There's a thread about it on this forum, and HTC asked for the link and said they'd look into it. So post your results, with as much detail as possible, here:

unfortunately you are stuck for now the HTC tool isn't working right for us, but at least some HTC people have been notified... hopefully some people that can somehow get something done about it.
the Revolutionary team has also been made aware of the new HBOOT, but they seemed to say not to hold our breath waiting for a new exploit.
hopefully something will happen soon. HTC is supposed to get back to us within a week or so, but we'll see...

I flashed the t-mobile signed stock rom PP59IMG.zip through the bootloader then proceeded to download the OTA's. After that I placed the new recovery image in the appropriate place and rebooted bootloader to prepare pushing the recovery through fastboot. What I noticed is that even after installing the OTA in a unrooted totally stock rom, S-off remains, however where "revolutionary" once was written now displays "**Locked**" , so apparently HTC has managed to relock the bootloader even though it shows S-off. It's not totally locked, as I had to reflash the PP59IMG.zip to downgrade hboot again so that I could reuse the revolutionary tool to flash the 4.0.0.8 recovery, then install CWM to update the recovery. As long as "Locked" was sitting where "revolutionary" normally is, I found it impossible to use fastboot, so my guess is security remains off but fastboot is locked. Just my guess anyway.

thats what i did. I wanted to test drive the new ota's so i flashed the tmobile signed stock rom, which removes root. Fastboot became locked after the ota's but the bootloader wasnt since i was able to just reinstall the same stock rom and used revolutionary to install the recovery. If you were s-on and took the ota before you had a chance to use revolutionary, you are stuck for now.

My friend has an HTC Sensation that he rooted and tried to put an ics rom on. I tried to help him as I have rooted 3 different types of phones and installed several custom roms on them. I updates the firmware and that broke the phone. I fixed by running the 1.50 ruu. Unlock with htcdev and installed cwm. Can't get s off or get roms to boot. Please advise.

Unfortunately htc.dev only unlocks part of the bootloader and you can't flash radio.img or boot.img to the device. Revolutionary will not work on htc.dev unlocked device, and roms may not boot unless official htckernel (boot.img) is used.
Solution is to run your ruu again, and start over using the thread posted above. If that fails there is a way to recover the device, I'll find a link and post it.

I tried the ruu again and it says security fail on the phone. do I need to relock the bootloader? If that doesn't work I will try the methods above. Thank you all for the help.
OK yes try to relock - its part of the guide posted above. Its a bit of a process but shown to work!

So I finally got the virtuous rom to work by using adb to flash the boot.img and that rom is working. Can't get the bootloader to lock back so I can root with revolutionary or use an ruu. Frustrated.

OK so you have bootable rom and working recovery? Next you need to flash the 2.3.3 rom according to the instructions in the guide posted above. This will downgrade and relock bootloader, you should then be able to s-off & root.

Hmmm, annoying.
You may be able to find something else by searching, instructions specify a stock rooted 2.3.3 rom, not necessarily the actual one in the link.

If anyone has a link to any 2.3.3 rom for the sensation I would greatly appreciate it. i have been looking for hours and all of the links are on multiupload therefore no good.

I believe this is a common issue either with certain versions of TWRP recovery, or when choosing to perform a fill wipe in the aroma installer.
Make sure you have a good recovery. (Read around for which TWRPs are affected.) Also do your wipe in recovery before starting the installer for the ROM, and dont choose to wipe in the installer.

I was on a lower firmware than the roms I was flashing
So I found a GB rom and flashed and it worked
Then I did S-off since it was already unlocked
Updated my firmware and now everything is fine I can flash any rom I want
Ok Im wanting to install some 3.4 kernel roms but needing to update to to the latest hboot and fw I am S-off, Super CID and rooted can I just run the ruu as it is? with out fear of a hard brick? or will I have to revert anything back, Im running slimbean and on 1.14 hboot
If you are s-off you can just run the ruu, flash recovery through fastboot , and then flash a ROM.

SuperCID will stay. You'll just need to flash recovery again, and then either flash superuser to stay stock rooted, or flash a custom ROM.

If running a ruu and s-off no need to flash a recovery. Ruu does it for you and no need to lock bootloader if your s-off as well

Yea thats what I always thought, was just bein sarcastic.. So for the sake of the thread and the O.P. To retain root you would have to flash recovery after running the RUU correct? Because the gentleman that I was originally responding to stated that theres no need to flash recovery, that the RUU does this for us...
Yes you need to flash TWRP again after you run an RUU. The RUU only flashes the stock recovery.

Ya I used that one click tool for XL to get the recovery..now on to further questions instead of making a new thread i decided to reuse this one.. anyways after I got through all that i decided to go ahead and flash some custom roms and ended up with the same results when ever someone sends me pics or videos through text, they will download fine until i connect to a wifi, then i get an error saying "couldn't download now, please try again later. Even when I disconnect from the wifi i get the same error and sometimes will not even get data untill I wipe and re flash but everything works fine with the stock rom.. what could cause this i have tried messing with the data options in settings and nothing works. rom's I have used are
Root box
slim bean
xylon
all of them have acted that same and all use the 3.4 kernel. so I'm stuck on stock until i can figure out whats going on :crying: so any help is greatly appreciated :good:
I've never used WiFi with those ROMs so I'm not sure. But are you sure your apn settings are correct? Also, have you tried toggling airplane mode on and off after disconnecting from WiFi?

Faults like this are usually caused by incorrect apn settings but I could be wrong.

Am I reading correctly, WiFi data works in general, mobile data works in general, just mms is not working?
