This is the 6th device I've "customised" but none of them has been as difficult as this. It's certainly put me off ever buying an HTC device.
Here is its status:

I have permroot from adp (it doesn't go straight to the # prompt, I have to su)
I've installed 4EXT Recovery Classic but that just leads to the red triangle and the standard recovery.
Suggestions would be most welcome!
I'm sure you need to s-off your phone. Search the forums for tutorial..

If unlocked by HTCdev you don't need s-off.
Try download the recovery image and flash it in fastboot.

My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.
The only way for you to S-OFF again is to downgrade first.

Now phone stucks at HTC logo. Access to bootmenu, recovery is available.

Have you made a backup of your previous ROM? If not try one of the custom sense roms or run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and delete everything in the zip file except the system.img, rename it to pg88img.zip and flash it in bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
As much as I know is your problem that with htcdev the kernel isn't unlocked and cause cyanogen needs another then sense, it doesn't work.

first thing you should do is to go s-off, then you can install custom roms.

He's unlocked by htc dev
You can also try flashing the full package with all content from the rom.zip, but this sets also your unlocked state of the bootloader back and be sure that you use the latest version of the ruu.

You need to manually flash the boot.img from CM 7.1 when you have the unlocked bootloader.

Hi all
Recently I bought HTC sensation ( i'm new to android) and I was wondering if my handset is rooted an s-off or not.
When I go to hboot it looks like this
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**locked**
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
Hboot 1.18.0000
Radio 10.14.90.35.01_m
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I have android 2.3.4 GB, sense 3, firmware no. 1.50.401.1
Can any body tell me it is s-off or not?
I read somewhere that if I will have s-off and root I can instal ICS by OTA and I will still have s-off, it is true? If I will don't like sense 3.6 on stck, I want to flash custom sense 4 rom. It is posible?
If I don't have s-off
can anybody tell me exactly what to do to have s-off and root in my case
ps. sorry for my english
You are s-off. If you flash an ICS OTA you'll still have s-off, but you'll need to gain root access whether or not you currently have it.
Simplest way to check if you have root access currently is to download a terminal emulator from market, open it, enter "su", and if it shows a "#" instead of a "*" then you have root access.
If it does not then you'll need to flash a custom recovery, and then flash a superuser.zip through recovery which will install the su.apk as well as the su binaries to allow root access to applications.
in terminal I type su but it shows that I don't have premision or something
so I flashed custom recovery, it shows me that it' will be updated, after rebot i deleted it from sd and boot again but seams to be de same recovery
what to do in this case?
and wat thas mean that in boot is s-off but **locked** on pink background
thanks
You definetly S-OFF but you are locked that mean you can't install custom ROM or flash zip with not from hTC. Since you are S-OFF you have to unlock it either via htcdev.com or Revolutionary. The Revolutionary will be the good choice right now, and since you are in Gingerbread. You can follow ":[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on" to root and unlocked the nand. Hope this will clear your's problem.
thank for help,
I make a mistake, custom recovery installed fine to me, I just don't know where to find instal from sd card, but now i now where it is
ok If it is locked I try to unlock it by revolutionary metod
and one question - After that I must instal recovery again or it will be stil ther after revolutionary process
Because you are S-OFF already you can update to official ICS, then flash the 3.32 Unlocked firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
then flash a recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
and you will be ready to flash any new custom ICS roms.
OK I have in botloader now this

A LOT of bad information/advice in this thread...
To the OP:
Going by what you originally posted you ARE S-OFF as said but you were running the stock HTC HBOOT 1.18.0000. With this you CAN flash a custom ROM but you CANNOT use fastboot commands as the stock HBOOT has them locked out. If you were to go to Recovery and you got CWM then you can flash a new ROM/root your existing ROM with no issues whatsoever
If you went to Recovery and got a red ! on the screen then you have the stock Recovery and cannot flash a custom ROM. You would need to flash CWM via a PG58IMG.zip file
Once CWM has been flashed you can then use a custom ROM.
Going by the last HBOOT info you posted you are currently running the Revolutionary HBOOT which is the same as the HTC one but allows the use of fastboot commands.
The important thing here is you will NOT be able to run an ICS-based ROM until you update the FW to the latest 3.32 FW so until you do you're stuck with GB-based ROMs

SO I must update to new ICS via OTG, but... When it download and update my phone I got a strange icon with android and with "!", and it stuck, only batery pull down is working to bring it to life. What can I do with this???
Just flash that new 3.32 firmware which is needed for ics, then my given recovery, and you will be ready for ics roms.
Please help!
I make a mistake and now I have s-off but locked on 1.27 bootloader and also boot loop
Is original firmware from here bring my phone to life, I flashed before unlocked firmware, but got loop so flashed also fix for it but not work
Code:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/
So did you flash the recommended unlocked 3.32 firmware? Your hboot version should be 1.27.1100 now, is it? Now flash 4ext recovery and then choose one of many ics roms. Your old gingerbread rom will not boot with the new hboot so it is normal. Get an ics rom.
I'm stock again, phone works but how to get it unlocked again
I updated my phone via RUU to official ICS, so at the moment I have s-off but locked and bootloader ver. 1.27.0000
I want to ask If I update by RUU to oficial GB it brings older bootloader too?
How to get custom ICS now....?

Hello, I've had an HTC Sensation for about 1 year now, and I would like to sell it (on ebay) with everything stock.
Currently the phone is running an early build of CyanogenMod 10 pyramid (Android version 4.1.2.)
I have also made the phone S-Off with the JuopunutBear method.
Info about bootloader:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1111
RADIO - 11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP - v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC - boot
One more note, I have also installed a custom recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9 and it is a touch recovery.
Again, I would like to S-Off the phone, install the original recovery (if possible) and the latest stock ROM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I have unlocked my Sensation XE (EU) using HTC dev my bootloader shows a pink ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. I have loaded Team Win Recovery using Sensation All in One Kit. Wiped the phone and tried loading a custom ROM but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen All my attempts at trying to gain s-off have failed. Is there a way to gain S-OFF without using the Sensation All in One Kit as i am getting device not found due to it not being in the os but bootloader. I can't seem to flash any ROMS using Team Win Recovery because of s-on?
When trying to flash RUU I am getting invalid image or some error about bootloader, think this is die to already being on hboot 1.29, I just need to figure out how to gain s-off and all my problem I think will be solved. My problem, I have root, s-on, Team Win Recovery with no bootable OS at the moment, cannot use 4ext as it does not load for some reason. but when flashing zips in Team Win Recovery I get stuck on HTC screen. It's like its failing to write to some partitions because of s-on?
