Hi,
I am looking at installing the Endymion ROM however I haven't had much luck following any of the beginner guides and was wondering if anyone can help me through the process.
My phone says this on the boot screen:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I believe I need to downgrade my HBOOT and then S-OFF before being able to install any ROM, however I cant find a guide that worked for my phone.
I was able to UNLOCK the device via HTCDev.
Please help.
Just flash the rom like any other then, extract boot.img from endymion and flash it using fastboot.
fastboot flash boot /pathtoyour/boot.img

@Kearns
Then you didn't do enough reading.... No matter how you cut it, jumping in without a firm understanding is dangerous.
Sooo you can downgrade still (follow the downgrade threads again) or carry on with your HTCdev unlocked phone..... and flash a recovery (don't forget about the boot.img)
Hi, i need some aid in geting as close to stock as possible, to safely use the OTA to ICS or just so.
If you can't aid or just feel too good for it please refrain to post in here, also i searched the forum and didn't found/understanded how to do this better so dont throw some links in here.
Please do explain step by step if possible.

HTC Sensation >> Used HTC dev unlock (ok!) UPDATE! I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO USE REVOLUTIONARY BOOTLOADER UNLOCK NOW >> used HTC Super Tool ( to get root) (ok!) >> get my sim unlock code in terminal (ok!) >> used RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed (W7 x64, tried with the phone in both: home screen and fastboot) (not ok!).
When i try to complete RUU i get ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR.
I want to get back to original, even if it removes root.
Any advice on how to resolve this, or to keep my phone safe is welcome. TY
Hey;
i've got the same problem. (Hboot 1.23 and S-ON)
I want to flash my Sensation to use ICS from HTC directly; and have to sent my Phone to HTC because I've got some issues with backcover and display - so it have to be stock.
Can anybody solve our problem?!
Thanks

Reboot the phone in the bootloader (fastboot usb) and re-run the RUU from there.
Hope it helps.
Update!
i locked back the boot manager with "fastboot oem lock" (OK!) >> i updated with the aforementioned RUU (OK!) >> i unlocked the boot manager again with "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
anyone has an idea how to get s-off? clean, without unlocking again

if you unlocked boot loader with htc dev tool then i dont know of a way to make it look as if you didn't unlock bootloader at all ( seems possible if you used Revolutionary)

get super CID first.. (i.e. write your CID to 11111111)

I had the same thing happened to me, it's irritating to see this happen. All it took for me to fix, was to follow the guide provided here.
All I had to do was S-off, Unlock, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on again. Please let me know how it goes!
Sorry to give you bad news, but you can't use that guide to gain S-off again. You have to be in hboot 1.18 or earlier for revolutionary to work. And you're S-on with hboot 1.27, so no luck there.
My recommendation is to be patient and wait for revolutionary to update, otherwise, you will be wasting a lot of time trying what's out there right now.
There's a lot of people trying to help those who are in the same situation as us (I'm S-on with hboot 1.23), but so far, no method have worked for hboot 1.20, 1.23 nor 1.27.
The only thing you could do is unlock the bootloader with htc dev (don't do it if you don't want to lose your warranty), install a custom recovery (I use 4ext) and then try an ICS ROM or restore a NAND backup if you did one previously. But first read, read, and then read a little more before doing anything else to your phone.

Thanks for you answare but please can you link me a guide or tell me yourself how to unlock it with htcdev. Because i don't know how to do it. Thank you.
How long do you think it will take for Revolutionary to update to my version?

There's something you can try first: Find the ROM.zip of the RUU you installed, extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img. That, probably, will let you boot and use your phone normally.
You can follow this guide and try your luck trying to go back to S-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296.
Remember to read carefully everything before attempting anything.
About htcdev:
Here is diagram of the process http://htcdev.com/bootloader/preview_unlock_process and there you have a link to the F.A.Q. too.
Then, you register here http://htcdev.com/bootloader/ and start the process following all the instructions that they give you.
About Revolutionary:
Only them could know that. There is a firmware version with an hboot 1.27 already unlocked by them, so they are still working on the project.
It can be fixed but you updated your h-boot to 1.27, I think it's bricked and I recommend you to send it to the htc
I have the same problem, I went S-ON and on stock GB rom, then installed the OTA update from HTC, now it won't boot. I think I will wait for the 1.27 RUU because I have unlocked the bootloader and don't think HTC will repair it for free.
I'm gonna send it in for support and hope they will fix it

i am hardly understand of what you are really seeking for
probably you need only S-OFF(because you said you want to keep the relocked and unroot status) am i right?
edit:what error did you have?
Dear, i mean :
if i unlocked my phone by HTCDEV.com, it's impossible to go back to ***LOCKED*** again, it's only back to ***RELOCKED***
so i need the right way to unlock and root my phone, that let me go back again to ***LOCKED*** easy
2- if i root and unlock my phone, then go back to ***LOCKED***, in this time.. can i flash the official Rom after all of that ?
maybe to sell my phone

I don't think you can go back to ***LOCKED*** after you unlock the bootloader via HTCdev. You can get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you s-off the phone. It will say ***LOCKED*** but it will also say s-off.
If you want to sell your phone, I'm sure no one would mind if the phone is s-on or s-off.

You can't get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you tried to lock it again using HTCdev.
You can get it to say ***LOCKED*** if you s-off the phone and don't install juopunut hboot.
If you want to sell the phone, no one cares if the phone is s-on or s-off.

Dear Androidsupporter, thank you to your reply
OK, the tools to Unlock my phone is the same tools to Lock it again and go back to ***LOCKED***
PLZ what is the best tool to unlock it HTCDev or what ?
if i root my phone, the bootloader info will be ***UNLOCKED*** and S-Off ?
or the root is differently
sorry for my many questions,
Edit: in Egypt, any one buy HTC phone, he must check bootloader, if RELOCLED or UNLOCKED he will Buy it at a cheap price
if not, he will buy it at good price
Hmm...I think you are talking about sim-unlock. When people sell phones, some list them as "unlocked". This means that the phone can be used with any carrier (any phone company that provides service)
There is a different kind of unlock. That is the bootloader unlock. If you want to unlock your bootloader, you need to go use HTCdev unlock method (htcdev.com). It will give you information on how to unlock your bootloader.
S-off means security off. It is the opposite of s-on(security on). This means that you can flash many things that a unlocked bootloader cannot do. If you want to s-off, then I gave you a link in my previous post about the guide for s-off.
Rooting is also different from s-off and unlocking bootloader. Rooting gives you (the owner) superuser rights (like an administrator account on a PC). All you need to do to root is to follow this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/20/how-to-root-the-htc-sensation-on-hboot-version-1-27-0000/

very very helpful, you are good man
i need to thank you moore times for your information, thank you dear
now i'm going to root my phone, but i need to know this info.
if i root sensation, the boot loader will be ( ***UNLOCKED*** and S-off ) OR ( ***LOCKED*** and S-on ) ?
Sorry for the inconvenience
Rooting and bootloader are different.
Rooting and s-off are also different.
Rooting your phone requires either s-off or unlock bootloader. If you unlock bootloader and then root, it will say ***UNLOCKED***
if you s-off, it will say ***LOCKED***
You can also unlock bootloader AND s-off (do both by unlocking bootloader first and then s-off). If you want to unlock bootloader and s-off, then follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25202517
But to root your phone you must unlock your bootloader or s-off

Do s-off by this guide first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
After your bootloader says s-off, then you can flash a custom recovery.
I would actually recommend this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
It's 4EXT recovery and I think it's better than clockworkmod recovery.

It was quite simple actually.
I went to Blue6IX's Development Related Mirror Site and grabbed the 1.44.1107 S-Off PG59IMG Hboot. I renamed it to PG59IMG.zip, sent it to the sdcard, and installed it via bootloader. It's now fully unlocked. Thanks everyone!

Try to do it manually. Like with the whole fastboot OEM unlock etc. Maybe that tool isn't working right. It says your unlock token is 0kb... so is it even there

I believe if you're storing your binary in your root directory ( C:\ ) that location is assumed if it isn't declared. Give the command " fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin " a try.
Fixed it.
