Hi,
Are you s-off?
Where did you get the file?
Did the md5 checksum match up?
Probably you got ics on your phone then the direct method won't work.. Check the last few pages of the sim unlock thread.. The solution/work around is mentioned there

What exactly do you mean by 'unlock'?
If I recall you already s-off'ed your phone. So what are you really trying to do?
Also hboot 1.18 or less is required to Sim unlock using xlVipeRlx method. So downgrading the firmware is required if you have anything above 1.2x hboot version.

Hi,
Look HERE
You need to look here because your hboot is probably 1.2x

the reason i want to return the phone is the proximity and light sensors stopped working after i received the OTA ICS update. i unlocked the phone and tried a few custom roms but none of them fixed the problem. so i relocked the bootloader and flashed my stock RUU so now its completely back to stock except in the bootloader screen it says "relocked" now instead of "locked". when i send it in will HTC make a big deal out of that? the phone is still s-on and everything.

I'm sorry, but they will definitely know that you have unlocked the bootloader.
There may be workarounds, but I'm really sorry, I don't know any.

There maybe a way to show your Hboot as locked, but how can you tell for sure that HTC doesn't keep a track of the phones that have been unlocked using HTC Dev. You are literally telling them "Hey! I'm about to unlock my bootloader which is going to void my warranty!" I do suppose they keep a track of such things.
Try unlocking again and flash diffent firm and relock it on gb idk nice to see there stalking our phones
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In your case, try using JuopunutBear to S-OFF and see if it restores your bootloader to "locked"
Does it only say that for people who used HTC tool?
revolutionary does not unlock bootloader.
Why not just flash pg58 with stock hboot in it? Or better yet, I believe stock tmous ruu has leaked (you are on tmous, right?)

I bought a Sensation of a forums site and the guy gave me the unlock code to unlock it but when I add it, it says code successful but the phone doesn't unlock I then tried the unlock methods on this website and it still won't work. Whenever the box appears to put in the code I can put in any random numbers and it will still say unlock code was successful. The rom is cynagogen mod 10 jb 4.1.2 but not sure if this can cause any problem?

Hi greetings
can you give us the details of your bootloader
so that we can help you
to boot into bootloader
remove and reinsert battery
press and hold volume down+ power botton till phone boots
write every thing what shows on that screen
have you made NANDROID backup if yes restore it from recovery
IF NO THEN WHY YOU DID NOT MADE THE BACK UP
Re: [Q] Htc Sensation 4g bootloop
I think the 2.3 stock rom runs on a gingerbread firmware. I think you should have upgraded your firmware to ics one before flashing the cyanogenmod 9, because it is based on ics.

If you unlock and then S-Off, you can set it to say ***LOCKED*** instead of ***RELOCKED*** when you relock it. So yeah, take that route.

hi,
I had the same doubts...
ok, as far as I understand i need to:
1) unlock via htcdev
2) get supercid
3) s-off the phone
4) install any rom that I want (steps 2 & 3 are optional if I don't want to install boot.img after every rom I install)
5) if needed, relock the bootloader (via the thread you posted)
ok I understand that putting back "LOCKED" on bootloader is just for warranty purposes...but...
If I even relock the bootloader putting "LOCKED" status, HTC could always saw that I unlocked the phone since I unlocked it through HTCDEV and they have my serial...or not?? Am I missing something?

I'm dont know how it has hboot 2.14. But, I can't update via OTA (I think it needs AT&T account that I dont have, because I'm outside US) then I tried to update by Rom installer on HTC.com ( 3/2013, AT&T annouced Htc one X can be update to Jelly Bean, and it provides me an official link on HTC.com) but also failed.

Ok this guy ^^^ is right.
1) Download the all-in-one kit by hasoon2000 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426
2) Make sure you have the correct HTC drivers installed.
3) Open the toolkit and run step 2b. Motochopper (3.18). Keep in mind you need USB debugging mode on and the fast boot option in your phone's settings off.
4) Run the Get Token ID step in the toolkit.
5) Copy your ID from the command prompt and then go to htcdev.com, register, and then follow the steps provided by HTC to unlock your bootloader.
Pretty straightforward but sometimes it just helps when someone spells it out for you.

Is there a reason you wanna root the phone? Or you just doing it because it can be done? It's really a simple process. I'd read more before trying, the answers u have been given are more than is even needed to get it done. Some people really shouldn't root their device. That's why they come locked. So people without the knowledge or skill set dont trash the phone. If you read redpoints tutorial it has everything you need. He spent a lot of time making it so newbs could get it done without being spoon fed. Read it twice, and by read I don't mean skim looking for the section u think you need. And if you are still unsure read it again. It's crazy the amount of people who ask the same questions over and over again because reading and learning on your own is too time consuming.
Ok I'm better after venting a little lol

If the phone is refurbished (which most probably is, like mine when was replaced due to a cracked screen), the bootloader cannot get unlocked. I have this as an official HTC reply. The reason is there is a mismatch between the phone's IMEI and serial number of the device and their serverscannot cope with that, resulting in the wrong token being generated
