[Q Solved] Still ****LOCKED**** after rom update?

I'm using Android Revolution HD ICS ROM from mike since a couple of days,
but i noticed that i'm stil ***locked*** in de Boot menu.
I want to flash my radio, but this is not working now.
What do i need to do to get in in -revolution- ? If you know what i mean.
I think that i've forgot a step while updating the rom...
screen shows:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.23.0000
RADIO-11.19.3504.29_2

There have been many people with the same issue. Please do some research, educate.
All that means is fastboot commands aren't going to work, most people rarely use them so you'll be fine.

Oke thanks, but do you know what i need to do to get it fixed?
(for my education)

Well you can flash a new update with the revolutionary bootloader. Kohr-Ah has a tidy selection with everything you could need located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Head over to the second post and find the section that matches your carrier/CID. Download the 3.24 Unlocked version for your CID and put it on the root of your SD. Now, reboot your phone while holding volume down. The bootloader will detect the PG58IMG file and ask if you want to perform the update. Hit volume up, and it'll update a few things. Then, it'll reboot back into the new bootloader and update the rest. After that, make sure you have an ICS based rom (preferably one built from the 3.24 base, and you're all set. Be sure to delete the PG58IMG after updating, because the bootloader will pick it up every time and refuse to do anything else until it's gone.
Edit: However, I forgot to mention, it really depends on what you mean by "fixed", because you can currently run any rom and do most anything even with a locked bootloader. However, since it is a ten minute fix, I suppose it's worth doing.

[Q] Continuous boot loop. Need assistance

Ok, so I've literally just bought the HTC Sensation. It was on 2.3.4 stock and I wanted to update to ICS. Unfortunately the ICS OTA update wasn't coming up for me so I decided to try do it myself
What I've done is S-OFF using the revolutionary tool (nothing else), then downloaded this stock ICS ROM, which supposedly is installed differently from other roms. Followed the instructions, and when it finished it gave me a 'ModelID' problem. I tried booting up anyway and now when my phone gets to the 'HTC, quietly brilliant' screen it plays half the splash audio and reboots, this is all it does continuously.
As instructed by that thread for people who got the ModelID problem I changed the ModelID variable in notepad, rezipped and tried the process again. Now it just loads up the FW, gets to 'parsing file' and goes straight back to the main bootloader screen.
Can anyone help me out? I really hope I'm now not left with an expensive paperweight

Hi,
Have a good read of THIS THREAD
It should help you out.

Thanks. What I gather from that thread is basically I need to flash back to stock.
I'm sorry for being a noob here but as I don't have Clockwork recovery etc is this going to be OK to do?
Do I need to superCID to flash back to stock? Do I need to root? I'm also not 100% sure on what ROM to download. I was a fool and didn't check versions before I flashed. It was 2.3.4 on 02 UK.
Most guides seem to explain how to flash custom ROM's but I'm not sure how much of that applies to me.
Again, apologies for the basic questions. I just want to ensure I don't want to mangle it anymore than it has and most answers I've found assumes other things have been done other than just S-OFF
Right now I'm trying to install clockwork mod, I've downloaded it, renamed it to PG58IMG, put it in my SD but HBOOT doesn't find anything to install/update.. Can I just superCID and then run the RUU_xxxx.exe to get back to stock?

Find my post in general will help you out I will bump it for you

Phew! Managed to get back to stock! Used the .exe for 02 UK.
However, now I'm installing ICS. I got into the boot loop again as I assume this is due to not updating the FW. I updated the FW to the one suggested and I'm downloading a different ICS stock ROM to install now.
If this does fail, or I need to get back to 2.3.4, what firmware would I download to back to original?

If you flash the.correct fw u shouldnt have any issues. U need to be supercid as well

However you will experience issues with 3.12 fw on ics roms. Almost all ics roms now require the 3.32 FW

Thanks all, now running ICS stock, fully rooted, superCID and S-OFF.
I tried to 'Thank' a couple of you but I don't think my post count is high enough.
So I'm still not 100% sure, what FW would I flash it back to if I needed to send it back on my insurance/warranty? Anyone know what the 'stock' would have been for an 02 UK HTC Sensation? (not beats). I'm such a fool for not checking these things beforehand.

Hi,
To get back to stock,you can flash hboot 1.17 HERE
I have also got THIS RUU for O2 UK.

I simply went to this thread (after reading so many others) and this was by far the easiest way to get ICS in my opinion.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Hope that helps you

If you flashed the stock o2 UK RUU then you can't use the unbranded ICS OTA to get ICS. You have to wait on o2 to push the update for their FW version

Hi,
Please use the link in my signature,which will show a link for WiFi issues and fixes.

Thank you for the link, but I have been to almost every guide for wifi errors including those. I am starting to think this is a hardware error, I have dropped my senny a couple times, but I still need to run an RUU. I hope that fixes it.

Hi,
If you are convinced that it is hardware,then have you tried this:
Take the back off your phone.
Gently lift the gold pins of the antenna just above the camera lens.
See if that helps.

i had same problem but i make restart and wifi had fun maybe i am lucky
i use ordroid : governor badass 3.5 uv-50mv sensation z710e

Need help gaining back my phone warranty.

Hi,
I'm using sensation xe ICS (S-OFF, custom recovery 4ext)
I believe that my phone is having hardware issue that I'm thinking to send it back for repair.
It happened 1 day ago that my phone freezes 4 times in 1 days (It was completely fine since I flashed to ICS). My wifi starts unable to switch on with 'Turning Wi-Fi on' appears but nothing happens. I tried to do factory reset but doesn't help. I searched some threads that they say it might be hardware problem.
I am trying to follow the instruction from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 (I'm not sure if this method is fine for my phone) to S-ON my phone so that I can get my warranty back. But I am stuck trying to reflash a official rom that my pc cannot detect my phone.
Can anyone help me with this please? Or is there any other way I can get back warranty?
Thank you
Below are all the detail I can find from my phone.

hi mate i guess that problem is due to the rom,why dont you try to flash the rom to any stable one like ELEGANTIA or ARHD or any other stable rom and chk that this problem is still there or its gone.....
and now reverting your mobile back to S-ON is risky and once i tried it earlier and got my mob fully bricked.. but i managed to send back the bricked mob and get a replacement but i don't recommend it..

can you precisely tell me what error you are getting when flashing the stock rom

Yes, I'm not sure what I did is right.
I was trying to flash my phone using RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe through pc. But the installer says that unable to detect my phone and please make sure my phone is connected to pc using usb. But my phone already connected in charge only mode.
Something more to add.
I just remembered that I accepted an update few days ago (alert pop up in phone). and my ICS is now 3.33 not 3.32.
I am trying to flash my phone back to 3.32 to see if problem still exists. But I am not sure how I can flash through sd card, my hboot now is 1.27, I have seen somewhere says that 1.27 is different

you are SOFF so you can RUN any RUU
i guess you got error 155
the problem here is you need to connect the phone in bootloader/fastboot to pc ..before running RUU
this should resolve your problem

Hey, thank you for your help. I have flashed my phone everything's fine now.
Stupid me, I forgot to install htc driver
