Bootloader still locked.

Hi guys,
I have a problem i followed the guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
to S-Off my new HTC Sensation XE from O2 which was succseful and as per the guide i chose N to the option to install Clockwork recovery.
When i then followed the steps to install recovery after it just will not work have tried many different methods including ADB but it just fails to install
after some digging i have discovered that unusually when i loot the bootloader screen it does say that the device is S-off however the pink bar at the top that normally says unlocked is saying locked which is why i am guessing any installs keep failing.
Anyone know how to fix this please, thanks in advance.

You've not fully S-OFF'd it yet...run Revolutionary it again until it asks you to flash CWM. Say yes to it and then you're good to go

Thanks for the reply, i tried that but it now says my device is not supported in revolution

You need to downgrade and then use revolutionary.

Cheers mate, Just found it :/

Man, these capcha's are SO annoying. WHy the hell on every post someone does? It's just annoying!
ANyways, Back on topic, I'm trying download HTCDEV for 'all other supported phones' from here:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
The problem is, It doesnt download. ANd when i change it to another option it still does sweet FA.
Is there anywhere else download this, Specificully, the all other phones option?
THanks for help and heres to the next annoying captcha
EDIT: A reboot sorted that problem out. Weird, but fixed

Well, I followed this guide:

Its gone from locked to unlocked but isnt it meant to say S-OFF, not S-ON?
THe main problem though is i've loaded REAPER 2.2 Mod with the 2.21 upgrade but it seems to get stuck on a boot loop while booting up
Any idea's?
SOrry for noob questions, I've never done this myself as i got a friend to do it before. ANd thanks for the help

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.
HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)
Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.
I would recommend 4ext touch.
Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.
So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.
4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

I want to try change HBOOT to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 bc I got FC com.android.phone with Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 (all 3 versions-Thanks developers for working on them).From what I see who have this HBOOT and radio they don't have FC like I do.Can I get exact guide sto S-OFF or anything to get this done?

Have you tried this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318919

Thank you.With that guide I downgraded my hboot by installing RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and revolutionary S-OFF.Flashed recorvery 4ext touch 1.0.0.6 RC1 and flashed Unofficial "Nightly" CM11.0 [20140228] by devil-kin and everything works.No FC com.android.phone.I can select 2G or 3G without problem.I will try tomorrow to change hboot to 7.00.1002 and radio to 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 but for now CM11 works without problems.
Update: After reboot got FC com.android.phone.Switched to 3G and reboot and works good.Tomorrow will try new hboot and radio.

Success in flashing new hboot and radio.Having some issues with CM11 so I restored CM10.2.

Hi, in your signature not details, please tell me how i can downgrade HBOOT
I tried htcdev but my rom version is 2.10.401.8 and not listed on there

Is it now possible to S-OFF a Desire S since the revolutionary site is no longer active ? I can unlock the bootloader via HTCDEV but I'd like to get S-OFF if possible ?

Maybe a slightly naive question......but I obviously need to downgrade my HBOOT to achieve S-OFF on the phone via the Rev method.
Can I restore my HBOOT version back to 2.00.0002 without running another RUU through it or is there another method.
My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?

[q] help please, unlocked s-on stuck on boot

Hi everyone,
I have unlocked my Sensation XE (EU) using HTC dev my bootloader shows a pink ***UNLOCKED*** at the top. I have loaded Team Win Recovery using Sensation All in One Kit. Wiped the phone and tried loading a custom ROM but it gets stuck on the white HTC screen All my attempts at trying to gain s-off have failed. Is there a way to gain S-OFF without using the Sensation All in One Kit as i am getting device not found due to it not being in the os but bootloader. I can't seem to flash any ROMS using Team Win Recovery because of s-on?
When trying to flash RUU I am getting invalid image or some error about bootloader, think this is die to already being on hboot 1.29, I just need to figure out how to gain s-off and all my problem I think will be solved. My problem, I have root, s-on, Team Win Recovery with no bootable OS at the moment, cannot use 4ext as it does not load for some reason. but when flashing zips in Team Win Recovery I get stuck on HTC screen. It's like its failing to write to some partitions because of s-on?

[Q] Stuck with installing custom rom

Hello,
I'm trying to root my HTC Sensation and install a custom ROM. I've read dozens of thread's and I followed them, as far as I can tell, how it supposed to.
Now I am at the point where I should install the new ROM from my SD card (phone is S-OFF using ControlBear.exe). But that isn't going so well. I can boot in hboot and select recovery, after that the phone reboots and nothing happens. When I regulary boot my phone it stay's in the HTC splash screen...
Is it possible that I removed everything on my phone and cannot recover anymore? And if so, how can I recover from my stupid mistake

flash this gb rom from recovery
http://d-h.st/bqL
don't forget to enable smartflash before flashing the rom
you should use revolutonay.io method to S-OFF the device instead of unlocking it from htcdev site
with that hboot version S-OFF method is easy for you(1.18 corresponds to gb firmware)
