HTCdev doesn't do unlock of bootloader automatically
they will just provide steps/step by step guide to how to do unlock process
i guess you need to register first..to do anything with your bootloader
give the details of the phone (when it asks ...i never knew because im already SOFF )
and get the unlock of bootloader done
right now there is no other unlock method other than HTCdev unlock...(remember it may void your warranty)
Also for SOFF via juopunutbear method here is the guide

Well i am registered but i when i press the button begin unlock bootloader nothing happened :s I will give it another try tommorow

HTC bootloader unlocked is succeeded!!
Can i now install recovery?? and in the tutorial for getting s-off with the wire trick, it says that you must have a unsecured boot.img < how do you get this??
sorry for being a noob ;P
oke now i have the bootloader unlucked, but when i'm trying to install clockwork recovery i get this:
Checking pg51img
then the phone reboots in bootloader
its checking again the pg51img and then it says this parsing pg51img and its goes back to the main screen of the bootloader :S

Make sure to name the file PG58IMG if you are using windows and keep it in the root of sdcard.
And boot into bootloader.. It should detect now.
If it still didn't work then flash the recovery.img via fast boot. I believe you already have fastboot/adb setup as you did unlocked your bootloader.
Get the image from here and keep it in your adb folder.

It's 4EXT recovery...

I received my Sensation XE today and it is on H-Boot 1.29. I managed to unlock it through HTC DEV and have installed recovery CWM 5.0.0.8. I cannot seem to gain root, i keep trying but nothing. Also, i have tried flashing a few ROMS but they never boot up. The ROMS i try are on 3.32 software number, same as my phone. I heard about the wire trick to gain S-off, but i thought i could still flash certain ROMS with s-on? Also, would the wire trick work on an unlocked with H-Boot 1.29? I'm losing my patience now as i have tried all day but dont seem to get any further forward. I wanted elegancia ROM but that wont boot up and i cannot figure out why. I have wiped dalvik, fix permissions etc...Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the controlbear file for the wire trick and as it seen my device it said backup failed?? I am completely stumped. I'm missing something somewhere.
Because you are HT Dev unlocked you have to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Go to this thread to learn about it.

well mate, thank you so much for your help and the guide. I'm now using ext4 recovery.
Hi everyone,
About 2 days ago my phone crashed while I was using it and since then it won't boot up properly, all I see is the HTC logo followed by a black screen and back to the HTC logo, I think it's called a bootloop?
I can access the bootloader menu I think it's called (hold vol down + power button), I've tried recovery and factory reset, neither work, I went to the HTC dev website to unlock my bootloader menu and those options still do nothing
I'd like to add I've NEVER rooted my phone or added any custom firmware or anything like that, so I've no clue why my phone has done this, I've seen several similarly related threads but they've usually done something wrong while rooting their phone, nevertheless I've tried so many different things but nothing seems to work, I've tried to S-OFF using juopunutbear, I've tried flashing boot with various "boot.img", I've tried flashing recovery with "4EXTrecovery..." I've tried to flash with RUU, NOTHING works, I'm at the end of my tether and have pretty much given up, I've spent so many hours trying so many things :crying:
This is what it says on my bootloader screen...

Hi! So what recovery do you have at the moment? You should be able to flash 4ext recovery. When you do that, you will be able to flash a rom. Here is the thread you should follow! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Do everything exactly! as it is written there and you should be ok to go.
edit: If you would like to install a completely stock rom, you will find this thread useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 (If you want to install RUU, you must relock your bootloader! You find all the info how to do it in the thread!) Good luck! Your phone will be OK!

Hi matekaneve, thank you for your response
I've come across that thread before, it doesn't work for me unfortunately :/
Despite the 4EXT recovery image successfully writing to my phone, each time I select recovery on the menu, my phone goes into bootloop again and the recovery menu doesn't load so I can't go any further than step 3 on the thread you posted
Has anyone run into this before?
That's weird... Have you tried re-download and reinstall the 4ext? Or have you tried another recovery like CWM for instance?
What about installing the RUU? Relock your your bootloader and install the right ruu?

I relocked my bootloader menu, downloaded the correct RUU, ran the programme, it finished successfully, took around 20 minutes in total, it said my ROM has been updated and my phone was ready for use but it's STILL stuck in bootloop! This is so frustrating

already tried, but after the command fastboot reboot the phone boots with hte htc logo and than its going into the boot loop again...
so i think that the mainboard is exploded or something, but could that be possible by using a custom rom?

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)
I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.
or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery

My phone, HTC Sensation XE, is S-ON, on default ROM, and has HBOOT 1.29.000. Needless to say, my phone is not rooted.
The phone is on a boot loop ever since I last took off the battery and placed it back. I sometimes get a message that my Android system is getting upgraded, terminating with an error "System UI has stopped working" before the phone restarts itself again.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software.
How do I get my phone to a normal state? I don't mind rooting the phone if I need to for the purpose of installing default/custom ROM. But I don't know if this would be possible because I only have access to boot screen at present.
Please suggest me suitable solutions. Thank you

@ganeshp's one click root doesn't require htc dev unlock (meaning no prequisite permanent root; the guide has steps for temproot).
You just need one boot.
Do this: get the boot.img of your current (stock rom) and type fastboot boot boot.img.

I know its a long shot, but you should try doing a factory-reset from the bootloader, just in case it works.
Otherwise run an RUU from the bootloader.
firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?
It really is great to see your input guys.
@Far_SighT: I have tried doing the temp_root method, but it doesn't work for me. I could successfully run temp_root.bat just once (luckily, even in boot loop), but next when I tried doing the Juopunutbear SOFF it missed detecting my phone (again, because of the bootloop)
I don''t know where I can get a boot.img file from; for what it's worth, I could only get an OTA zip file for my region/CID from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
@raz0rf1sh: I have done factory reset several times from bootloader, doesn't help friend. I don't have an RUU for my region/CID, all I have is an OTA zip file for my phone from the link I have specified right above this. Can't seem to get an RUU for firmware base 3.33, and CID HTC__038.

For stock rom go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923629.
Get the rom and extract boot.img.
Then use the earlier command I posted.
Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

I said fastboot boot boot.im instead of fastboot flash boot booti.img as the previous one boots the rom with with the new image but doesn't attempt to write that to the boot partition. Hence it might get him a much needed boot to s-off.

I don''t know where I can get a boot.img file from; for what it's worth, I could only get an OTA zip file for my region/CID from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
@raz0rf1sh: I have done factory reset several times from bootloader, doesn't help friend. I don't have an RUU for my region/CID, all I have is an OTA zip file for my phone from the link I have specified right above this. Can't seem to get an RUU for firmware base 3.33, and CID HTC__038.
@rzr86: Posting all the details I am aware of currently:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Mar 2 2012, 18:14:34
CID - HTC__038
Software version - 3.33.720.106

as you stated your current is 3.33.720.106 so the OTA update is unnecessary
do as ganeshp suggested

Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

Thanks for responding Ganesh. HTC Dev Unlock never worked for me post change of motherboard, but thanks for the suggestion.
I am able to browse the recovery option from bootloader properly.
And it gives me a little satisfaction to let you know that I was able to change the CID to HTC__001 following your steps. Can you suggest what I should be doing next?
