Help needed unclocking bootloader and intalling Cyanogen

Hi all, first of all, sorry for being a complete noob to all this.
I was wondering if I could have some help installing Cyanogen mod on my HTC sensation as I find the stock ROM to be far to slow and bloated.
I have downloaded KGS Utility for all rooting/ S off purposes, my main issue at the moment is unlocking the bootloader,
I have got a unlock token from HTCdev but when I try and flash it, I get the following error:
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.151s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
finished. total time: 0.159s
I have followed all the instructions to the letter and tried multiple times.
Does anyone know what could be causing this. The device is definitely in bootloader USB mode with fastboot off and USB debugging enabled (though I have tried different combinations of these settings with no luck).
My next question is when it comes to flashing the ROM what order do I need to do everything. From what I can gather, once the bootloader is unlocked, I need to root, S-off and then install a new recovery in that order before flashing cyanogen. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help in advance.

there is no need to open a second thread

It said the key was invalid, get another one and make sure you don't type it incorrectly

Step 1 | Pre-requisites:
Be on the Stock RUU and be rooted (have superuser flashed). No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.
How am i suppose to have it roooted with superuser flashed...?
nvm it said exception but... i did parts of it and then i ran controlbear exe
and its comming out like
Waiting ADB.... (41/60)ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
and lastly
Waiting ADB.... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Reboot command failed!!
Bootloader unlock failed?
Press ENTER to exit.....

I tried with htc dev and then i got stuck on step 12... it said mine failed

do you have adb and fastboot files installed?(sdk tools)
if yes go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot
put there the unlock token.bin code
open the command window there and then do the command

make sure that you have htc sync and htc drivers installed

Hi,
Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE
Sometimes it takes more than one go.
Keep trying.

I thought you're supposed to un install htc sync... Okay I'll try again

I tried and it goes like
Android USB Devices>Android Composite ADB interface
then i press update so then i browse for the windows 7 driver
and in the end it comes out as "Window has determined the driver for your device is up to date."
Android Composite ADB interface
and for the HTC dev one, i have a sensation with Virginmobile Canada
So im suppose to click on all other supported devices right?

yes, for all intents and purposes it does everything it is supposed to even shows the Unlock Bootloader screen where it says the warranty disclaimer and asks to choose yes or no, i choose yes the phone resets i speed thru the setup enable usb debugging then adr reboot bootloader and it still states "RELOCKED" if i could i would do a logcat but i dont know how or if it's even possible to logcat the unlock process or any fastboot process for that matter...

Did you try this command to unbrick?: sudo ./jet -u
Edit: hmm just noticed your cid changed to stock. Sorry idk where to go from there

Yes i did try the ./jet -u command but i cant get in to QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore that is the stock cid for the one x ? if thats the case maybe i can run de 1.85 RUU?

Did you try the hardware key way? Same as bootloader, but power and vol +
Practically gave myself a heart attack yesterday. Someone here was having trouble getting into bootloader, and mentioned power and vol +. I couldn't remember what that did (knew it wasn't bootloader) so I did it, and put the phone in Qualcomm download mode!
I was able to get back to bootloader, recovery, and reflashed the ROM that happened to be on my phone.

No. What I meant was your cid isn't supercid anymore. And I wouldn't use that RUU since your hboot is 1.14; wait till someone more experienced helps you out

I've actually never used JET, and not quite sure how it works.
But power and vol + will put the phone in QHSUSB_DLOAD in most situations (nothing to do with JET), if that is all you are trying to do. Similar to how power and vol - boots into bootloader. Just curious if it would still worked in your "bricked" condition.

Are you able to get into fastboot? If so just use stock RUU to get back to stock,

thats the thing, i can get in to fastboot, try to run the 2.20 RUU starts and maybe 1 minute later it fails, and gives a ERROR [131] i google it and it seems to be because the cid its not the correct one anyone knows if there its a way to bypass the cid verification?

Try this thread. I think there is a way to use the stock recovery and the cid you used to unlock it. May give you some ideas.

download a ROM.. put it in your fastboot folder,
boot into fastboot and try this
fastboot flash zip name_of_rom.zip <-- this works with HTC RUUs, may work with an actual ROM.. Use at your own risk, I have never tried it with a custom ROM.

If you have the RUU.zip, do this then:
fastboot oem lock

fastboot flash zip rom.zip
see if that works..

You can try to find the cidnum for the htc onexl and see if you can trick it by editing android-info.txt file to match cid num.
Example:
edited android-info file
modelid: PG3213000
cidnum: KT___901
cidnum: HTC__004(this edited file only)
mainver: 2.32.1010.1

[Q] Not quite sure what to do...

So I'm in the process of getting my phone back to original to so I can edge up my phone. I accident relocked the bootloader with oem relock, and now I'm stuck with S-OFF and "relocked." I'm not quite sure what to do now, as I also uninstalled SU. How do I go about getting "Locked" and S-ON. I tried the sdb shell and all that stuff, but when you type SU I can't since it is no longer installed. Also if I try to push a recovery it fails.
Code:

So what you need to do is. Supercid your phone to 11111111 an go to htcdev.com an unlock your bootloader. Then once that is done. You need to downgrade to 1.55 so then you can lock your bootloader turn s-on an ruu the encrypted ruu that posted. Do NOT TURN S-ON till you find this ruu that's posted an understand it completey an ask dottat any question in that thread. Once you r downgraded locked an s-on an run the encrypted ruu your phone should be all stock an lock an s-on no tampered no nothing.

I was able to get back to stock except I have the tampered flag. I did this last night so I was unable to follow your steps. What should I go about now, as I have S-ON, locked bootloader, no root and a tampered flag?

I think he specifically said do NOT turn s on. You cannot do anything unless you s off again. What Rom do you have loaded? Turning s off is the LAST step because it's like locking the door and throwing away the keys

I actually did that stuff before I saw his message, I followed: http://www.bane-tech.com/how-to-ret...on-relock-bootloader-unrootuninstall-supersu/
Guess now I'm going pay to get the s back off...
