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)

i need help to flash it woth germany laguage or unlock the bootloader
to be able flash it with other ID provider
thanks for advance
Please any one, correct me if I am wrong. You can not flash 3.32 firmware if the rom does not support it. 3.32 Only works with certain Roms.
Get an ICS rom (Android 4.0.3) flash firmware and then rom. Should be working then.
my sensation freeze when it start at logo screen....please help
this is what in bootloader screen...

if you are flashing ICS rom then it will freze as the firmware is still of gingerbread and you need to update it
for flashing firmware(3.32/3.33) and flashing ICS rom ..refer to this thread
i did not know what it was flashed with, i try to s-off but the problem that the revolutionary file dose not recognize the phone even when i work on sdk , i cant recognize the phone
but it just work with htcdev unlock methd

ahh you unlocked via HTC-DEV over 1.18 HBOOT ? thats a bad move
now dont upgrade to ICS you can still do revolutionary SOFF
do this
flash any Gingerbread ROM
then once you booted up ..root it (no need if you flashed a custom rom ..as it comes prerooted )
then you need to go to superuser app and make default access is allow
then you need to relock your bootlaoder (fastboot oem lock )
you need to temp root (using my soff temp root ..take the temproot_sensation_windows zip from my soff guide and run temproot.bat file)
then you need to run the revolutionary (phew that s a damn long process)
revolutionary will work then
but how to flash gingerbread rom if the phone not recognized,and recovery not work ???

can you post the bootloader details?
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.

so i need the right way to unlock my phone
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.
Look here and read it carefully to s-off your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760

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

yes , i need s-off only
in your last link, i think i will start from step 4 to the end, right ? to s-off only
and i don't know the diffirent between "normal" and "touch" links for CID in your link too
Normal - http://download2.clockworkmod.com/re....0-pyramid.img

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 doesn't matter i think
but you can use ganeshp's guide instead
Ganeshp's guide works for 1.29 hboot also. I know this because my hboot version was 1.29 and it worked

since you have 1.18 hboot version(gingerbread firmware) you should have done revolutionay.io method to S-OFF
http://revolutionary.io/
S-OFF in your situation is very easy
but you must have a working device
so flash this gb rom from recovery
http://d-h.st/bqL
i suggest to use 4ext recovery since you are on S-ON
before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext

it doesn't matter what was you stock rom
you can flash any rom in sensation/xe/4G devices
by the way unfortunately there in no orange uk ruu with your firmware
exists only one with a lower firmware than yours but you can't use it because you are on S-ON(S-ON devices can't downgrade)
so your options are limited
