Hi all. I've been using my second-hand bought sensation for a week now. But i have one problem. I have to unlock it to actually be able to use it as a phone.
Why is this a problem? Well, i have followed a guide here on xda to unlock it and have acquired the unlock code. Thing is, the sensation does not ask for the unlock code.
The guy i got it from tried to unlock it himself using "diag" and "s65/s85" but he failed.
So my question is, how do i get it to ask for the unlock code?
Thanks

So there is no way to relock it to unlock it the right way?

How about a complete reset back to stock?
I don't know enough about the unlocking process to know if a complete stock reset would wipe the unlock and leave the phone relocked. But hopefully by me stating the possibility you'll see 3 answers shortly from people who do know nad you can either try it or rule it out.
Never seen a similar relock I have ruu flashed every way on here if u put a att similar card in and it don't ask for code it unlocked
Now if you see x and not a signal then your blocked call tmoble and ask if it can be unblocked most likly not

Well, I don't see x, but I get no reception

Would changing the mainboard solve the problem? (Yes, I'm willing to go that far....)

I've tried to clear s-58 data before. It didn't help, but thanks for trying.
I think i'm just suffering from bad esn.
What model is the phone and what provider are you trying to use? You might need to change the modem to do that look in the radio thread. The modem basically changes the frequency so you can use it on providers who uses a different one.

I bought an Unlocked T-Mobile Sensation this week. I will make it S-Off, Root and will flash custom ROM. Are the procedures same with a normal HTC Sensation or do i need to do extra things because of T-Mobile?
Should be the same but someone correct me if I'm wrong, I think if u flash a radio u will lose unlock.

Hello all. My friend just bought a sensation from a guy and he claimed it to be unlocked and was working with at&t. when he got it home it did have an at&t sim card in it but wasn't picking up signal. My friend popped in his t-mobile sim card, nothing picking up either. It appears to be in almost brand new condition but is this a hardware problem?
Well if it don't ask for a code for att its unlocked but my be blacklisted and I know there making a new law that you can't flash a stolen phone over now
Not sure if att tmob working together already or not
Best thing call tmob tell them u buy phone ask I'd imi blacklisted if so can't use on tmob but att should work for now
If not reflash everything from from to radio sending a pm as well

Well I just called T-Mobile and guess what, phone has been blacklisted for fraud.
So trying to flash stock RUU isn't gonna help any?
Nope only can use it on att if anything
I seen a diffent poster say he kept calling and got it off the list but not sure how or what he did

Or blow tmob up call and call and call ***** and yell ask for supervisers tell them truth be firm maybe u can like other guy
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Well I put the at&t sim card the guy had in it and it just says No SIM card "emergency calls only". Idk if it's just because he canceled his at&t or what.
It might not even be unlocked. I mean the guy said nothing about it being blacklisted so I'm sure he'd lie about it being unlocked. Oh well this is my brother's phone not mine, mine works great lol
You can try to unlock again

Method 2
You can get the file I just sent use Facebook no need to sign up
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Okay will these methods work even tho I don't have clockwork recovery on it? It just has S-OFF
I had this phone since it came out, and rooted and S-Off and I had tons of issues. Such as Wifi disconnecting and needing to restart the phone in order for it to work, also sometimes Wifi slowed down to a super crawl. Random reboots, etc. But this probably could of been credited to me dropping it all the time and messing up the internals.
I returned it and got a new one, updated to the latest and haven't rooted. Battery life is amazing, but too much bloatware!!!! Can I root and s-off the latest tmobile software? Cause I tried running the older RUU and that failed to install on my phone.

Um... S-off? The One S?
But yeah unlocking and rooting should be no problem, just use htcs unlock method...

You are saying that HTC them selves provided a rooting guide? If so can you provide a link for HTC Unlock method.
Thanks in advance

No HTC does not provide a rooting guide. They simply make it easy for you to unlock the bootloader using http://www.htcdev.com/
Once the bootloader is unlock you can root via a few method. There's plenty of sticky thread in the dev section.
This is just one thread

I recommend you install TWRP recovery so that you will find it simpler to flash roms. No need to fastboot flash boot.img.

hi everyone i need some help i just sim unlocked my t-mobile hct sensation 4g to use it overseas and i want to know if flashing roms cyanogenmod or any other will undo my sim unlock thanks hope you can help me
Flashing a rom will not undo sim lock. Follow the s-off guide by viper all the way down to sim unlock and you will be free. Flashing a rom is not required but will be possible after following the guide. As I am on my phone I cannot send a link but the search button is your friend

Thanks you
If the phone is available overseas, check it must be unlocked already . Custom regulation does not allow sale of locked phones in other countries...
