Hello I currently have a HTC Sensation XE (HBoot 1.29) and I tried to unlock my bootloader, with HTCDev. But when I get to step 13 it says press yes to unlock the bootloader and no to reboot device, when I press yes (with volume and power button) nothing happens, although if I press no it reboots and resets my phone to factory settings, whiping every app with it...

I went through the process of rooting and then unlocking the bootloader based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
And everything seems to be fine, I even installed CWM Recovery, but I can't load the bootloader to recovery mode or anything. I've turned off fast boot and am applying the power button + volume down key for at least a minute. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
Try plugging your phone into your computer and adb into the bootloader using the command adb reboot bootloader. I have a hard time with the buttons but this always gets me into it.
Hi, I am going to buy a softbricked Sensation XE.
The phone has been never modified, so still S-On and bootloader not unlocked.
The phone is in bootloop due to a failed installation of OTA (Sensation turned off during installation).
The fastboot/bootloader menu is still accessible (Vol down + power).
I'm searching through many threads for a guide to unlock bootloader, but all of them requires debug usb enabled: I cannot access that option, because as I said the telephone is in bootloop.
So the question is, is there a way to:
1) Unlock the bootloader, S-Off and install recovery without usb debug, or
2) Install a RUU, or
3) Do a factory restore,or
4) Any other solution?
Note that i cannot provide more informations right now as im going to buy XE and don't have it yet..
Thanks for your replies

for S-OFF or unlocking the bootloader you need usb debugging mode
so you have 2 options left
factory reset and use a ruu.exe
i would sugget to use a ruu.exe
Friends,
got my hands on HTC One SV LTE that is constantly at each power runs into Bootloader Mode. If you select Factory Reset and others, it always returns to the same screen. You advise me please, how his resurrection?
Unlock bootloader, flash latest Twrp recovery and flash a stock rom.
I have a problem if you leave this to the HTC Dev generate a token and back through fastboot unlocked, so I after restarting the phone again returns to the menu and shines LOCKED.
Ive been asked by a friend of mine to fix his nexus 5 that is stuck on a Bootloop, I've opened it up to have a look at the power button and that wasn't the problem, the device has not been rooted, the Bootloader is locked, there is no emergency mode and there is no recovery. I am however able to access fastboot and when I try unlocking via fast boot it does unlock but then requires a full reboot and as I've said before this cannot happen because of the Bootloop.
Any suggestions!?!?!?!
After unlocking the bootloader, does the bootloader relock itself? If it does, the memory chip is damaged and requires a replacement motherboard.
I've had this problem when I corrupted my recovery by using FlashFire and my bootloader was locked. Though I was able to restore my device using Fastboot. I had unlocked my device and instead of flashing the stock recovery when unlocking the bootloader I had flashed the Team Win Recovery Project recovery and when I tried to boot up to TWRP recovery it would stay for a couple of second displaying that it couldn't wipe the data partition and then reboot me back into bootloader mode. I fixed that when trying out the following steps:
1= Download the latest firmware of the device found Here .
2= Boot the device to Fastboot mode (aka Bootloader mode) plug the device in and unlock the bootloader (of coarse confirm when asked by the device).
3= After seeing that the device has stopped wiping data indicated the text "wiping..." in the very bottom of the specifications in the Fastboot Bootloader REBOOT THE DEVICE IN FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE by navigating using Volume buttons to scroll down and highlight the option "Reboot Bootloader" and then pressing the Power button.
4= Using the provided scripts for Windows , Mac and Linux flash the device with the firmware.
VERY IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU SEE THAT IT IS FLASHING "userdata" and after that "cache" HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON THIS WILL FORCE THE DEVICE INTO FASTBOOT BOOTLOADER MODE.
5= When you see that the device is in the Fastboot Bootloader mode scroll down (again using volume buttons) and highlight "Recovery Mode" then boot into Recovery and it should automatically start wiping the ("userdata" partition) Data once more that the bootloader said when it displayed the "wiping..." message after being unlocked.
If not wipe data factory reset the device manually by using the recovery and reboot to the system.
Optional: 6= IF the device has successfully booted up power it back down and lock the bootloader again using the fastboot tool additionally before locking the bootloader you can reset the warranty tamper flags.
This tutorial explains in detail how to flash a firmware to the Nexus 5 and shows how to restore the tamper flags.
I hope that I helped in some way.

Yes after unlocking Bootloader and restarting the device into the Bootloader it relocks and I'm back at square one
The motherboard needs to be changed. I recommend looking for a used Nexus 5 with a smashed screen and a working motherboard as this may easier than trying to find a new motherboard.

Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried this already and it doesn't work because when I unlock the bootloader and reboot into the Bootloader it locks itself again making impossible to flash the system image
