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

[Q] Selling my One S, making it stock?

Hi. I'm selling my phone since I've bought HTC One Black. So... is there a way to erase everything and make it as it was stock?
Guess I need to do this:
1. S-Off to S-On
2. Flash this: villec2-jb-crc-3.4.10-055bd56.zip from http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
3. Remove root
?
I just received an OTA update but it can't be installed, so therefore I want to make it stock so that the new user won't experience any problems...

Your are S-OFF?
So you need to follow this instrucition:
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691213-how-get-back-stock-facepalm-s-off.html

Some phones early phones were shipped S-Off. You do not need to S-Off. Just go back to stock and change the bootloader back to locked.

You have a stock bootloader. I take it you mean a stock recovery. Google HTC Ville S4 Stock Recovery and explore.

flash stock recovery, relock bootloader and run the ruu.
if the ruu makes any problems while your phone is up, try to boot into fastboot usb and run the ruu again.
dont forget to run the ruu as admin and be sure you have the latest htc sync drivers installed.
good luck

You have to update your HBOOT in order to flash 3.16.401.8 RUU, I've got problems flashing this RUU too. You need hboot 2.15 for this, if you're s-off you can easy update it following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274 remember to change your CID to SUPER CID: 11111111 or you may have issues flashing hboot.

yeah it's kind a bug you get stuck at 75%, just type in prompt command:
adb reboot bootloader
you should boot into bootloader and see the new hboot version.

since you have 1.18 hboot version(gingerbread firmware) you should have done revolutionay.io method to S-OFF
http://revolutionary.io/
S-OFF in your situation is very easy
but you must have a working device
so flash this gb rom from recovery
http://d-h.st/bqL
i suggest to use 4ext recovery since you are on S-ON
before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext

it doesn't matter what was you stock rom
you can flash any rom in sensation/xe/4G devices
by the way unfortunately there in no orange uk ruu with your firmware
exists only one with a lower firmware than yours but you can't use it because you are on S-ON(S-ON devices can't downgrade)
so your options are limited
