It should help you understand how to S-OFF, root, install recovery and flash a new ROM. Remember to make a backup before doing anything
Sorry for just linking threads but I'm not great with explanations

My friend has an HTC Sensation that he rooted and tried to put an ics rom on. I tried to help him as I have rooted 3 different types of phones and installed several custom roms on them. I updates the firmware and that broke the phone. I fixed by running the 1.50 ruu. Unlock with htcdev and installed cwm. Can't get s off or get roms to boot. Please advise.

Unfortunately htc.dev only unlocks part of the bootloader and you can't flash radio.img or boot.img to the device. Revolutionary will not work on htc.dev unlocked device, and roms may not boot unless official htckernel (boot.img) is used.
Solution is to run your ruu again, and start over using the thread posted above. If that fails there is a way to recover the device, I'll find a link and post it.

I tried the ruu again and it says security fail on the phone. do I need to relock the bootloader? If that doesn't work I will try the methods above. Thank you all for the help.
OK yes try to relock - its part of the guide posted above. Its a bit of a process but shown to work!

So I finally got the virtuous rom to work by using adb to flash the boot.img and that rom is working. Can't get the bootloader to lock back so I can root with revolutionary or use an ruu. Frustrated.

OK so you have bootable rom and working recovery? Next you need to flash the 2.3.3 rom according to the instructions in the guide posted above. This will downgrade and relock bootloader, you should then be able to s-off & root.

Hmmm, annoying.
You may be able to find something else by searching, instructions specify a stock rooted 2.3.3 rom, not necessarily the actual one in the link.

If anyone has a link to any 2.3.3 rom for the sensation I would greatly appreciate it. i have been looking for hours and all of the links are on multiupload therefore no good.
What is the hboot version?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
1.18
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
With S-off achieved, it seems like it would be worthwhile to bring everything up to the latest version. Is it possible to just push 2.14 to your phone without relocking or any of that jazz?
Why would you want the latest hboot? It offers nothing useful.
Now the 2.14 users can downgrade firmware to get rid of the touch panel junk

well s-off turns off security.. so 1.14 users have no reason to downgrade, but 2.14 users can downgrade and then RUU downgrade to fix the touch screen issue

because 1.14 and 2.14 hboot prevented kernel/radio flashing in recovery.. with s-off, every partition is unlocked with no write protection.. so now you can flash in recovery on any hboot

Wait, I don't have to do anything special apart from achieving soff to avoid flashing the bootimg separately? Or do you mean that it's now possible, but waiting on a near future fix?

if you are s-off at this very moment... you can flash any rom right now, and will NOT have to worry about the boot.img.. except hboot 2.14, they have a few extra steps
say bye bye to fastboot and flashgui

Would be a good idea to try the updated firmware and see if it makes any diff/
At least for the ones that dont use aosp roms.

no.. the hboot has nothing to do with the touch screen. that's the firmware from something else
So if I ruu.... I Take the highest update, keep s-off, fastboot twrp and flash roms no problems?

Yeah,
but which ruu with the latest firmware?
I dont think there's any available.
I'm on 1.85, hboot 1.09..
I was just gonna run the 1.85 ruu... Take the 2.20 ota (or whichever one is most recent)
Once I'm updated, since I'm s-off, I figure I could easily fastboot twrp recovery... Flash rooted Rom.
Any objections? This is my first s-off device so I'm a noob

For those of you who want to try the new 3.18.709.2 firmware.
Here is a custom package I made, containing all the 3.18.709.2 files but recovery
is changed for TRWP recovery 2.6.3.0
Also the RED WARNING from the Hboot is removed!
I am running this firmware at the moment, and everything is fine!
Check screenshot for information of the new Radio, enjoy!
Warning:
The boot.img from 3.18.709.2 doesn't like the 3.17 ROM's at the moment, so Camera won't work!
You can fix it by flashing Elemental or Bulletproof or the stock boot.img from 3.17.
If you flashed the firmware package first and after that you flashed a 3.17 ROM you won't have this problem
removed
Flashed it all OK thanks for sharing mate.

flashing firmware will not put you back to s-on. At least none have to this point.

That's a general issue with custom hboot, discussed already here.
BTW, if you got S-Off with revone you should update to v0.2.1 that prevents exactly this:
UPDATED revone binary (v0.2.1)
* Safety update: No longer allows -s 3 since this can lead to bricks with custom HBOOTs, use: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (which is safer - and checks such things)
* Fix: delusions of grandeur - revone now no longer reports success when it fails.
* Outside chance some previous failures will now be successful but most likely they will just correctly report failure.
Please note that due to the safety update ALL previous versions have been replaced with v0.2.1 and are hence no longer supported.

I removed boot.img from your zip file as well as recovery.img, that's why I have no issues with the camera.
Hello everyone,
I have an Htc Sensation XE hboot 1.29.0000 which is unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Now I want to install cyanogenmod and I need s-off. But when I search online, the only thing I saw how to s-off is to do the wire trick.
I don't want to do s-off in terms of hardware.
Is there any way to s-off using any softwares like last time we did in gingerbread?
Please reply me at least whether yes or no! I will be looking forward to the replies.
Thanks,
Phyo Aung Khant.

You dont need S-Off just to flash custom ROM. You just need Unlocked bootloader and 4EXT Recovery to flash custom ROM being S-On. And for S-Off, the wire trick is the only method to achieve S-Off with 1.2X hboots

Now the recovery I got is ClockworkMod Recovery Touch v5.8.0.9
Last time I flashed the Cyanogenmod Zip from the ClockworkMod Recovery, it stopped during the boot stage.
As you two said, if I use 4ext recovery, that problem will be gone, right?
So can you post any link to tutorials or videos to install 4ext recovery?
And also I don't know what is smartflash.
Please explain to me.
