I ran the revolutionary utility to get S-OFF. According to my hboot screen, I now have S-OFF. Step 2 is to install recovery which is where I am stuck. When I plug my phone into my PC (phone in HTC Sync mode; not the hboot screen), I get "pyramid, with hboot 1.20 is not supported". Looking at my hboot screen, I see...
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot

At this stage, should I just follow the HTCDev process to unlock the bootloader? Not sure where to proceed.
Any attempts to flash a recovery using PG58IMG on the SD Card immediately generates "incorrect model id" error. After reviewing this post, I tried the Android Flasher utility, but it gives a no permission error.
you should be able to go back down to 1.17 eng boot with IMG.zip file, you are still s-off so should pass through
I tried the ENG hboot posted on this thread. I loaded the zip file onto the root of my SD card. Boot phone into hboot. Device starts to read the file and then reports: "model ID incorrect!".
Here is a pic of my hboot screen: h t t p : / / img542.imageshack.us/img542/4936/imag0197n.jpg
Since my hboot currently reads LOCKED, do you think i should unlock it from HTCDev? Then, in theory, i should be able to flash different hboot/recovery.
Fixed!! I installed the latest RUU for my carrier from this thread. The RUU restored my device, radio, hboot [1.17.0008], & recovery back to it's original state [S-On]. Device is now back to the way it was when i opened the box.
After that, I was able to re-run Revolutionary and this time it worked. I now have S-OFF, correct hboot, and rooted stock ROM.
wow my device become like your S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader..
will do your method this evening

no this does not carrier unlock the phone, it unlocks security to the phone for deving purposes/or installing custom recoverys,and Rom builds,
there is way to carrier unlock there is guide on how to do that but you do need to be rooted

HBOOT modelId incorrect, the phone restarting with white screen
HI,
I did S-OFF using the revolutionary.io and when it asked for upgrade given Y, but it failed. But the S-OFF is done on my HTC sensation 4G. but when i copied the PM58IMG.zip and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed on my SD card root. and starting in HBOOt first its asked for upgrade and pressed yes then it shown the below error
modelID incorrect.
from now on my HTC is not starting just the white screen with HTC then to HTC quitely brillient then repeating same. please help me how to solve this.
the HBOOT is now 1.27 before S-OFF its 1.18
thanking you inadvance
n00b question guys.
i just got a used Sensation. mine says ****LOCKED****
but next line says S-OFF.
does it mean my bootloader is unlocked?
i'm confused because i went to htc dev and got the unlock.bin file for my sensation. the problem is when i get to the final yes/no screen, i can only choose NO option. no matter how many times i press power button on yes, it won't work. only when i choose "no",it will reboot.
Before everyone jumps all over my a$$ and directs me to a "guide", here's the situation.
I ran the revolutionary S-off tool once before
Somehow I am now "SHIP S-OFF"
Revolutionary S-OFF tool won't run (I think because I'm HBOOT 1.23)
I've searched and searched but I gave up. Does anyone know what to do from here?
Try ur original ruu

If you intend to run ICS 1.17 is no bueno. You can just flash the 1.17 h boot. It's in the development forum.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure it has been covered many times before.
I don't want to paint myself into a corner, so tell me if this the right order of things:
Flash 1.17 HBOOT
S-off
flash original RUU
Boot up and flash new radio for the ROM I want (Revolution HD)
flash new ROM
Can I cut any of these steps out?
I can't flash firmware until I'm S-off
Cant S-off until I go HBOOT 1.17
I flashed the 1.17 HBOOT and it said I was CID:11111111
After flashing firmware 3.32, it says CID:TMOB010. WTF? Do I have to SuperCID each time?

Are you checking from fastboot with adb or terminal? Terminal will show your original cid. Fastboot shows your actual cid. I only ever had to super cid once and I flash firmwares all the time.

Hello, sorry for my English.
I have a Vodafone HTC Sensation HBOOT 1.27, Radio 11.69A.3504, firm.: 3.32. Status Locked.
I entered HTC-DEV, but not unlock my Bootloader. I sent them my problem and they do not respond.
I managed to do TEMPROOT, but I can not do anything else & Juopunutbear only works with S-OFF.
Can anyone tell me how to remove my S-ON.
Thanks, sam.
No man you can flash rom's with s-on.

JuopunutBear is how you S-OFF your Sensation when you have any Hboot over 1.18. So you will have to use JoupunutBear to S-OFF your Sensation.

I believe the OP meant that HTC Dev did not work to unlock their boatloader. A lot of people have posted saying that they had problems using HTC Dev unlock.
Hey guys,
tonight I tried to unlock my HBoot 1.27 Sensation with T-Mobile Germany branding.
I used the htcdev method successfully. Then I installed 4ext recovery.
Till now everything was fine.
But then I thought, I could wipe the old T-Mobile stuff from NAND, in order to install CM9.
But now I have an empty S-On, htcdev unlocked phone and can not install any ROM, because there are no ICS RUU files availble for TMobile Germany phones.
4ext recovery is working fine.
So, what can I do now to S-OFF my phone, or to get any ROM on it?
I do not own any backups
for your situation see this thread

if you want to S-OFF see this thread

I have a sensation with S-off via Revolutionary IO, but I took the ICS update and the HBoot was upgraded to 1.27 and was locked. I want to try the Bruce2728 CM10 Kang. What would be the next step for me? Should I just use the Sensation_4G_All-In-One_Kit to flash 4EXT recovery and install the rom? Do I have to unlock the 1.27 Hboot first? What about hacking the CID to make it a superCID? Thanks for your help.
