[Q] XE bootloop after installing RUU, cannot downgrade or unlock bootloader or S-OFF - HTC Sensation

Hello!
This is a little complicated. I have an XE and I wanted to upgrade from 2.3 (HBOOT 1.18). I tried to S-OFF first with revolutionary, but it didn't work (not even with tacoroot). Then I wanted to unlock the bootloader with the HTCDev method, I have the Unlock_code, uploaded it with fastboot and then selected yes. The phone reboots but it's still LOCKED. I repeated a few times, but no success.
I thought, OK the stock ROM by HTC is enough. I installed 4.0 with the newest RUU (HBOOT 1.29). This is where the bad things started. The installer worked well, but I couldn't start my phone anymore. It is stucked in bootloop. I tried to downgrade (with RUU and flashing zip with fastboot), no success.
So: S-ON, locked bootloader, bootloop... what could I do? Oh and when I plug in the USB cable, the phone turns on by itself.
Please help! Thank you!

It is the europe unlocked one, but i can't find it in the Filefactory list.
And is there a way to remove 4EXT recovery and get the stock one?
Thanks,
And what is this then?

Hy guys. It's my first post so I would like to say Hello to the community!

As you see, the "(bootloader) version-main:" is empty!!! This is a problem cause I can't even flash the official TIM RUU because it gives me error 155 (after locking the bootloader of course). Besides, when I start the installation it won't recognize the main version.
Somy question is. What do I have to do to get the main version up in there? Got to flash a new firmware or what? Help me out. Thanks a lot!!

I don't think it matters, look at mine, same thing. I have run RUU.exe a bunch of times.
The difference is I have run the correct RUU for my CID #. Maybe the official TIM Cid you mentioned is for the older Hboot. You have the newer 2.15 Hboot and you cannot go backwards unless you S-off your device.
Thanks a lot! Now I know how to proceed!

the ics rom won't boot with gingerbread firmware
flash this rom from recovery
http://www.4shared.com/zip/NVqsJkGIba/2084011_stock_rooted_signed-FI.html (GB rom)
before flashing the rom:
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done
after that use this method for S-OFF

To get sim unlock you need to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107.
I don't know how it's handled in your country, but in germany after 2 years you can let the provider remove sim lock for free, maybe you could try that too.
Both method don't work..
In adb shell method ( the command "strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6") in Windows
Pls see attachment, Why T-MOB010 is written above IMEI ? ( last 3-4 lines )
Strangely , my htc got sim unlocked itself.
I put a cdma sim in it. Android start updating & showed no network. Then I put my gsm sim & it started working.
Prior to this, my htc was synced with htc sync on windows.
Thanks to all.
