[Q] HTC Sensation bootloader - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi I was wondering If you can unlock the bootloader after re locking it? I had already rooted the phone and had the bootloader unlocked but after flashing a rom my phone was stuck in bootloop and I had to relock the bootloader to use ruu to fix the bootloop.

I believe you can if you use S Off, I did with mine. There are a few threads on how to do it.

Can you do it without S Off?? I think last time I did it I used an all in one tool kit but idk since i just relocked the bootloader and I don't want to risk doing anything to my phone

You can re-unlock the bootloader by flashing the unlock token that HTC sent you over e-mail, but you will lose all data on the phone

Oh alright thanks. When you re lock the bootloader is that like unrooting the phone?

Getting Back to 100% Stock

I've looked around and I can't search the forum from my phone so I started a new thread. If there is already one that answers my question, please refer me to it.
Ok, I'm on 1.85 with an unlocked bootloader. Is there any way possible to return to 100% stock?

Yes as long as your cid is11111111 you can relock. Then run the 1.73 RUU

Thanks gunny. Will that bring my baseband, kernel and firmware back to stock numbers? I'm not sure what my CID is, but I know it's super CID. I'll have to boot into bootloader and check.

Super cid is
11111111 you're all set.
Won't it say relocked ? If that's the case HTC would still know something is up ,or not?

Gunny, if/when we get s-off, will we be able to get rid of the re-locked?

Is it possible to root in the new update?

I had this phone since it came out, and rooted and S-Off and I had tons of issues. Such as Wifi disconnecting and needing to restart the phone in order for it to work, also sometimes Wifi slowed down to a super crawl. Random reboots, etc. But this probably could of been credited to me dropping it all the time and messing up the internals.
I returned it and got a new one, updated to the latest and haven't rooted. Battery life is amazing, but too much bloatware!!!! Can I root and s-off the latest tmobile software? Cause I tried running the older RUU and that failed to install on my phone.

Um... S-off? The One S?
But yeah unlocking and rooting should be no problem, just use htcs unlock method...

You are saying that HTC them selves provided a rooting guide? If so can you provide a link for HTC Unlock method.
Thanks in advance

No HTC does not provide a rooting guide. They simply make it easy for you to unlock the bootloader using http://www.htcdev.com/
Once the bootloader is unlock you can root via a few method. There's plenty of sticky thread in the dev section.
This is just one thread

I recommend you install TWRP recovery so that you will find it simpler to flash roms. No need to fastboot flash boot.img.

Wait so the latest update version from Tmobile can be rooted?

Should not affect the hardware warranty. Just unroot the phone and you will be fine most likely.

S-On is the stock condition. The way to make the phone S-Off has not been achieved.
There is currently no way to make the bootloader say "LOCKED". Maybe once we have S-Off. Otherwise, it will only ever say UNLOCKED or RELOCKED.

Maybe you will not lost S-off, but even if you lost it, you can repeat s-off steps as u did before.
But what I'm sure about you have to root it again and lost OTA update

I guess you unlocked your bootloader first and then performed SOff which inturn locked your bootloader again. As you are sOff you can flash universal firmware and patched hboot.

Yes it's normal
It's just that you didn't flashed a patched hboot like juopunutbear/revolutionary hboot
Normally when you do soff.. At the end the tool will ask you whether you want a patched hboot.. Probably you said no for it.. Or in some cases flashing that will fail

Indeed no, I flash a hboot via htcdev, everything was ok, I did juopunutbear indeed.
My phone is ok (CM10.1) just was a question why it showed that
