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?
I want the phone to be stock. Stock hboot stock rom thanks for the reply

I found your other post, you are looking to return the device for service. Did you follow all steps to return to stock? This thread has steps for both directions, unlock/root and return to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I did install the ruu the hboot was stock then. After I installed the ota it went back to locked i pink lettering. It says i need to flash the stock hboot but I do not know how to. That is all I need Help. With

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

Here is a link to the OTA update zip in case you want to pull the firmware.zip out yourself - http://www.multiupload.com/KH5AU99SDU - OTA update zip
Here is the firmware.zip extracted and renamed - http://www.multiupload.com/873LJ6LM1Y - PG58IMG.zip
Place the PG58IMG.zip on root of sdcard, reboot into bootloader and apply update. Reboot into bootloader to verify hboot version and state.
Thank you so much. So the only one I need to do is PG58IMG.zip?? I just need to update the hboot or will they PG58IMG.zip do that for me?

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.

OK, does the LOCKED banner in hboot just mean nand locked or does it mean something else?
---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------
Nevermind, LOCKED does mean that it has been tampered.
See this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261905
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

Thanks, I read a lot about the different HBOOT states but a lot of conflicting info and my sensation didn't stay on stock more than a couple hours after I got it.
Thank you so much what a great help
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
ok??
so the ***LOCKED*** dose mean that it is stocked and is back to how it was when i bought it? that is all i am needing to know now or dose it mean that it has been tampered with? or is that how it is supposed to be after the OTA update? thank you all so much for all your help

Hi, I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com method. Then I relocked it because of hardware problem and I need to get it repaired.
But in the bootloader I see "RELOCKED", how can I remove it?
I already flashed twice the original RUU, but it didn't work.
Help me please!

Hi, I am having this same problem, except my bootloader is still UNlocked. How do I

for warranty purposes. Thanks.

thats fine having relock wont hurt OTA update
the only requirements for OTA are
1.cid
2.stock recovery
3.stock non rooted rom
For this method you must have S-OFF!!
To remove the "RELOCKED" you must do this:
1. Download an HBoot from here Download
2. Put the downloaded PG58IMG.zip on your SD card. Attention!!! Do it in no folder!
3. Go into Bootloader
4. Follow the options on your screen.
5. Now you should have an HBoot called "REVOLUTIONARY"
6. If yes go on
7. Download an Sensation RUU
8. Go on with the RUU.
9. If it is done, go again in the bootloader
10. Now it called "LOCKED" S-OFF
11. If yes type this in ADB:
Code:
fastboot writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
12. When your Sensation reboots and it shows you S-ON you are done
Attention: you are only take the responsibility for maybe bricks!!!

phil thats all fine
but even after doing all that he will still have RELOCKED
the problem is if after SOFF ..if any person did HTC-DEV unlock ...and relock he cant make it LOCKED ...but can only make it RELOCK (even Running RUU will give him RELOCKED only)
the only way ...is to go to stock ICS ..SON...then wire trick again (JB SOFF) ..that will give you either locked hboot or juopunutbear hboot (in jb hboot case a simple flash of stock hboot will take him back to locked state)
But he flash with my variation a Revolutionary HBoot.
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

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

HBOOT modelId incorrect, the phone restarting with white screen
HI,
I did S-OFF using the revolutionary.io and when it asked for upgrade given Y, but it failed. But the S-OFF is done on my HTC sensation 4G. but when i copied the PM58IMG.zip and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed on my SD card root. and starting in HBOOt first its asked for upgrade and pressed yes then it shown the below error
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.
Before everyone jumps all over my a$$ and directs me to a "guide", here's the situation.
I ran the revolutionary S-off tool once before
Somehow I am now "SHIP S-OFF"
Revolutionary S-OFF tool won't run (I think because I'm HBOOT 1.23)
I've searched and searched but I gave up. Does anyone know what to do from here?

If you intend to run ICS 1.17 is no bueno. You can just flash the 1.17 h boot. It's in the development forum.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Thanks for the help. I'm sure it has been covered many times before.
I don't want to paint myself into a corner, so tell me if this the right order of things:
Flash 1.17 HBOOT
S-off
flash original RUU
Boot up and flash new radio for the ROM I want (Revolution HD)
flash new ROM
Can I cut any of these steps out?
I can't flash firmware until I'm S-off
Cant S-off until I go HBOOT 1.17
I flashed the 1.17 HBOOT and it said I was CID:11111111
After flashing firmware 3.32, it says CID:TMOB010. WTF? Do I have to SuperCID each time?

Are you checking from fastboot with adb or terminal? Terminal will show your original cid. Fastboot shows your actual cid. I only ever had to super cid once and I flash firmwares all the time.

After jb method.. You will either have LOCKED (not RELOCKED) bootloader or juopunutbear bootloader..
If the case is latter.. I.e juopunutbear bootloader.. A simple flash of ruu.. Would take it to complete stock...
To simply put.. You should not I mean you SHOULD not.. Touch the unlock of bootloader and re-lock of bootloader after SOFF

Depends which Juopunutbear method you used. If you never used htcdev to unlock your bootloader, you are fine. Just flash the appropriate RUU and S-ON to go back to stock (YOU MUST GO BACK TO STOCK HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK).
The original Juopunutbear method required unlocking the bootloader with htcdev. If you are looking to lock your bootloader, again flash the appropriate RUU so that you can S-ON. Then use the new method that doesn't require using htcdev to unlock your bootloader. The result will be S-OFF and LOCKED bootloader.
This is the only way to return to locked state and not relocked.
Most vital for S-ON is a signed, proper hboot. Otherwise, you will brick and will need to find that thread on how to unbrick.
The new method is the jb one without HTC dev unlock is that right

im getting confused on what you are saying
YES ...the original juopunutbear method requires ..htc-dev unlock ..but after the SOFF process ..you neither have that *UNLOCKED* status nor *RELOCKED* ...
you will have *LOCKED* (which is stock ) or *juopunutbear*
and
even if he did SOFF using the NON HTC-DEV method (guide in my link to do this )..he will have the same ..*LOCKED* or *Juopunutbear*
and as i explained earlier ...if the case is later ..i.e. Juopunutbear ..then he(OP) needs to flash a simple RUU ..that will take his bootloader to *LOCKED* which is stock
thats all to explain ..nothing more to resolve here

without soff ..no not possible
first of all if anyone did a unlocked bootloader again ..after SOFF ..then that means ..the person didn't understand the SOFF process completely and he is stupid to do that (you have a privilege to flash eng-hboots (juopunutbear/revolutionary) which are much much better than the unlocked hboot)
now assuming he did unlock of bootloader after SOFF
then
there are two ways (just now a new way released ..its cosmetic ..but might work)
1.cosemetic way ....look here)
2.hard way ..flash RUU ..do S-ON(careful here ..brick risk) ...and again SOFF (use htc-dev unlocked JB SOFF)
