[Q] Incorrect CID after s-off - HTC Sensation

I unlocked my device via the HTC bootloader unlock token, rooted via all in one kit, then I attained s-off using the wire trick. Now upon boot it reads S-off, but it also says locked where it previously read tampered, unlocked. I don't have a recovery to go to to flash anything, so I'm not sure how to proceed now.
After restart, I go into recovery, it then states CID incorrect! Update fail! Press Power to reboot
How can I flash a recovery/rom now?

HTCdev doesn't do unlock of bootloader automatically
they will just provide steps/step by step guide to how to do unlock process
i guess you need to register first..to do anything with your bootloader
give the details of the phone (when it asks ...i never knew because im already SOFF )
and get the unlock of bootloader done
right now there is no other unlock method other than HTCdev unlock...(remember it may void your warranty)
Also for SOFF via juopunutbear method here is the guide

Can i now install recovery?? and in the tutorial for getting s-off with the wire trick, it says that you must have a unsecured boot.img < how do you get this??
sorry for being a noob ;P
oke now i have the bootloader unlucked, but when i'm trying to install clockwork recovery i get this:
Checking pg51img
then the phone reboots in bootloader
its checking again the pg51img and then it says this parsing pg51img and its goes back to the main screen of the bootloader :S

Make sure to name the file PG58IMG if you are using windows and keep it in the root of sdcard.
And boot into bootloader.. It should detect now.
If it still didn't work then flash the recovery.img via fast boot. I believe you already have fastboot/adb setup as you did unlocked your bootloader.
Get the image from here and keep it in your adb folder.

It's 4EXT recovery...
Command to flash
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "

very simple to fix. The fact that you got to the "ready to unlock?" screen means the unlock token works.
go into settings on the phone go to power. Turn OFF fastboot.
Power off the phone completely.
Boot to bootloader
send the unlock.bin again
this time it will stick.

Sometimes the phone can get confused about its locked state.
To fix:
-Force reboot the phone. Hold the power button for 10+ seconds until bottom lights flash and then stop.
-Boot in to bootloader
Now force the phone to lock even if you think it is locked already.
-fastboot oem lock
-fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Sending "fastboot oem lock" tends to get the phone back on the right track so it doesn't just keep rebooting in to a relocked state.
get into bootloader manually volume down + power.
Wow, so I've been under the impression that if I updated to 2.20 via the RUU that I couldn't do anything. I know my supercid is definitely 11111111. I can still unlock the bootloader if this is the situation? Root wouldn't happen though right?

I think you may have to use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img because of the new limitations of the new HBOOT. It might be only for boot.imgs though
That worked rohan32 Thanks so much to both of you. Now I have an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. Going for root now. Thank you thank you thank you! You guys have saved me from wanting another phone!

If you stay away from the AT&T cid you will be fine.
In theory things could change but at the moment so long as you have super cid prior to RUU flashing you will be fine.
OK I just got my AT&T HOX today and from what I've read hear there is no way to root it? Since I have 2.20.502.7 710RD but if I use super cid I can flash roms?
Without root you can't get super Cid

[Q] Phone stuck in a boot loop, plus other problems

My phone, HTC Sensation XE, is S-ON, on default ROM, and has HBOOT 1.29.000. Needless to say, my phone is not rooted.
The phone is on a boot loop ever since I last took off the battery and placed it back. I sometimes get a message that my Android system is getting upgraded, terminating with an error "System UI has stopped working" before the phone restarts itself again.
I don't know if this is a hardware issue or software.
How do I get my phone to a normal state? I don't mind rooting the phone if I need to for the purpose of installing default/custom ROM. But I don't know if this would be possible because I only have access to boot screen at present.
Please suggest me suitable solutions. Thank you

I looked into the thread you suggested. For my region and CID, I was not able to get the RUU from the thread. What I could get was this - an OTA zip file that matches my software version exactly (3.33.720.106) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
How do I proceed further with this zip file, since I don't have an executable RUU file?
I am hoping you can be of help -)

When I try and do SOFF using KGS utility, it restarts my phone because my phone is not HTC dev unlocked. (My phone's motherboard was replaced some time ago, and so I cannot unlock my phone.)
ganeshp's one click root requires SOFF. I can't SOFF using his technique because temp_root.bat doesn't work in bootloader screen.

@ganeshp's one click root doesn't require htc dev unlock (meaning no prequisite permanent root; the guide has steps for temproot).
You just need one boot.
Do this: get the boot.img of your current (stock rom) and type fastboot boot boot.img.

I know its a long shot, but you should try doing a factory-reset from the bootloader, just in case it works.
Otherwise run an RUU from the bootloader.
firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?
It really is great to see your input guys.
@Far_SighT: I have tried doing the temp_root method, but it doesn't work for me. I could successfully run temp_root.bat just once (luckily, even in boot loop), but next when I tried doing the Juopunutbear SOFF it missed detecting my phone (again, because of the bootloop)
I don''t know where I can get a boot.img file from; for what it's worth, I could only get an OTA zip file for my region/CID from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
@raz0rf1sh: I have done factory reset several times from bootloader, doesn't help friend. I don't have an RUU for my region/CID, all I have is an OTA zip file for my phone from the link I have specified right above this. Can't seem to get an RUU for firmware base 3.33, and CID HTC__038.

Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

I said fastboot boot boot.im instead of fastboot flash boot booti.img as the previous one boots the rom with with the new image but doesn't attempt to write that to the boot partition. Hence it might get him a much needed boot to s-off.

And it gives me a little satisfaction to let you know that I was able to change the CID to HTC__001 following your steps. Can you suggest what I should be doing next?

[Q] Follow-up: Rooting and S-OFF

So a while ago I made a few posts about my phone (I soft bricked it) then finally was able to root it with S-on. Then I couldn't get S-OFF so I reverted to stock. I tried rooting it and checking forums again but nothing works.
I don't know what I am doing wrong in the rooting process.
Here is what is written on my Hboot screen:

I have been through many forum posts here but it has been all in vain up to now. I just don't want to unlock the bootloader if I have to revert back to stock after anyways.

Sorry. Sorry.
I have unlocked my bootloader, I have flashed a custom recovery (TWERP), I rooted, I was able to flash roms but not able to get superCID.
I tried different roms for the xl but all would start to crash after a while, even the stable ones. I discovered the roms I like need S-OFF and since I always get an error message while obtaining the superCID, I cannot get S-OFF and therefore the roms I want.
So I reverted back to stock for the time being so I can use my phone while trying to find a solution.
Does that explain it better?

I dun goof somewhere. I finally found the file (it appeared out of nowhere), got super CID and then when I tried getting S-OFF from this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 I got error 99 instead of 92. On top of that I got an error on 7-c.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071&page=17
Ok folks thanks to c5satelite and other helpful folks at S OFF PARTY AND IRC we figured out how to fix this whole "error 99" shenanigans.
Step 1. Download the latest stockish ROM (I used Viper 3.2.3)
Step 2. Boot into bootloader and fastboot flash the kernel.. then reboot back into recovery
Step 3. Wipe /system and factory reset in TWRP
Step 4. Install rom in TWRP
Step 5. For *Viper Only* Don't wipe in Aroma, and uncheck reboot at the end.
Step 6. Reboot into bootloader from recovery (Don't boot into the ROM)
Step 7. Follow the instructions in the OP to a T ... read reread.. go get some coffee.. and try again.. hopefully you see Error 92 and not 99
This worked for me with ViperROM on hboot 2.14
Thank you to all the folks involved you guys are rockstars from Mars!

I tried pushing with adb, but adb says there is no device connected, even though I have it plugged in USB.
Yay for a soft brick!
Is there anything I can do now, or did I just screw myself over right before the finish line?
When you get error 99 you need to force a reboot to the bootloader by holding volume down and power buttons together, then start again (without the adb reboot bootloader command because you're already in bootloader).
Did you factory reset in bootloader? If so you've corrupted your sd card and need to format it by mounting it in TWRP and formatting in Windows.

Well... my phone has no recognizable USB. I just did a factory reset in Hboot after you mentioned it, now theres the error cause sd doesnt exist.
BUT i can't mount. When I click mount on TWRP, nothing happens. No external storage appears on my computer... I don't know whats going on.

Problem unlocking bootloader, please help me!

Hi.
I recently acquired a Sensation and have been attempting to unlock the bootloader. I followed every step on HTCDev succesfully but now I am stuck on Step 9. Once I attempt to send my unlock code to my phone, it does nothing past 0 KB.
Few information in case it might help:
On boot menu my phone says:
**LOCKED**, Hboot 1.29. S-OFF
Fastboot also recognize my device (checked with fastboot devices command).
I know of the other way to unlock bootloader but honestly it's way too complicated and don't have the cable needed.
I would absolutely love some help.

your device is already on S-OFF
why do you want to unlock the bootloader via htcdev site?
