Hi, I am going to buy a softbricked Sensation XE.
The phone has been never modified, so still S-On and bootloader not unlocked.
The phone is in bootloop due to a failed installation of OTA (Sensation turned off during installation).
The fastboot/bootloader menu is still accessible (Vol down + power).
I'm searching through many threads for a guide to unlock bootloader, but all of them requires debug usb enabled: I cannot access that option, because as I said the telephone is in bootloop.
So the question is, is there a way to:
1) Unlock the bootloader, S-Off and install recovery without usb debug, or
2) Install a RUU, or
3) Do a factory restore,or
4) Any other solution?
Note that i cannot provide more informations right now as im going to buy XE and don't have it yet..
Thanks for your replies

for S-OFF or unlocking the bootloader you need usb debugging mode
so you have 2 options left
factory reset and use a ruu.exe
i would sugget to use a ruu.exe

If the factory reset option cannot help you, just flash an RUU to restore your phone to factory state.
I suppose you have not unlocked your device but if you have an htc_dev unlocked bootloader you should relock your bootloader to flash the RUU.
If you want to relock your bootloader use the command fastboot oem lock using fastboot mode from your bootloader.
You can download the RUU of your choice from here.
Here is the latest Europe RUU for Sensation (Pyramid):
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266171_signed
Friends,
got my hands on HTC One SV LTE that is constantly at each power runs into Bootloader Mode. If you select Factory Reset and others, it always returns to the same screen. You advise me please, how his resurrection?
Unlock bootloader, flash latest Twrp recovery and flash a stock rom.
I have a problem if you leave this to the HTC Dev generate a token and back through fastboot unlocked, so I after restarting the phone again returns to the menu and shines LOCKED.

You could try to erase cache using fastboot and see if it can boot. If not try a factory reset.
If factory reset still doesn't work you'll have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and resotre a nanadroid backup or flash a stock rom of 5.0.1.

It doesn't work. How can I unlock boot loader while usb debugging is off. Is there any method?

you don't need usb debugging. Usb debugging is only needed to have adb connectivity when the phone is booted in android.
for gpe device you should be able to unlock it using fastboot from the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If this method doesnt work you'll need to use HTCdev.com to unlock it.
Don't forget that unlocking your bootloader will wipe everything on your phone.

It have nothing to do with usb debugging! Like I said above, the only purpose of usb debugging is to enable adb connectivity when the phone is booted in android.
Even if usb debugging is turned off, you still have the ability to use fastboot commands from the bootloader (like you have tried) and to use adb commands from a custom recovery (which you don't have access to because of your locked bootloader)
With that said, I'm sorry to tell you that what you are seeing after doing "fastboot oem unlock" (PG_ERROR) is typical of the infamous GPE bootloader bug. This bug make impossible to unlock your bootloader from using oem unlock or by using HTCdev.com method. So your phone is bricked sorry.
you are not alone, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547894

Maybe keep it in a drawer and hope that HTC will release a 5.11.1700.3 or higher version official RUU so you'll be able to flash it with s-on and a locked bootloader.
or maybe you could ask the guys at fonefunshop if they are able to s-off it using their method which doesnt require to boot in the rom.
So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Unlocked bootloader and rooted phone just fine, but then decided i waned to go back to my old factory reset phone, so i locked boot loader, then tried to reset using ruu, but low and behold the 2 telus ruu's i have tried result in errors, probably because my phone is s-on still and i have know clue what the cid is. My phone can still boot into bootloader mode and download mode, but can't access TWRP or recovery mode, it cant be picked up by usb or plugging it into the computer to transfer files, so my options are sd card for file transfer. Is there any way to fix it or is it a fancy paper weight now?

Have tried flashing bootloader off with fastboot and adb, and it shows up and asks me if i wish to unlock, but then just goes right back into bootloader mode and as 'relocked' still, i think it is because i cant enable oem unlocking or usb debugging because i cannot go into any os, and am limited to recovery and download mode. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,
I am stuck on HTC One S.
The device is bricked and its USB debugging is disabled.
Bootloader is locked with S-Off. Tried to unlock bootloader with HTCDEV but could not unlock.
I am not able to flash a ROM. (TWRP) is installed.
