Err... How'd I do that?
A little(actually a lot) embarrassed right now
download the adb files and put your Unlock_Code.bin which you've got from HTCdev site in the adb folder.
I advise you to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
If you will read it carefully you shouldn't have any problems
Here you can find explanation for many terms that you should know like what is S-ON, rooting etc.:

Follow this thread and use Hex Fiend to edit the file on mac. I did it and it worked very well. If you're new to hacking android you'll have to find info on how to get adb setup. You'll also need fastboot but you can get that from the HTC dev site while following the unlock steps. If you're not familiar with using Terminal on the mac you'll need a little more help.
Let me know what you need and I'll try to help if I can. Are you on the stock firmware (1.73.502.1)?
Hello guys I have spent like a day to review all the forums for android phones and couldn't find any solution how to root my old sensation that has MB replaced. I cannot unlock the bootloader. I tried many things. I want to install cynogenmod kitkat 4.4. I'm in the edge to brake this phone. Any of you managed with that issue?
Thanks in advance.

I can't do that. It is impossible. I'm trying it for 3 nights so far, no luck. Guides are incomplete, don't know the right files. Everywhere the bootloader unlock is as prerequisite. How to unlock the f**** HTC. I will never buy again anything with no Google logo on it. Replaced mobo and you are ****ed.

Hi guys
i just received it.. i found some informations on How to root but i'd love to be sure before
Which one of the different methods is the best?
thank you so much !
P.S. will i really lose the " black gold " theme once i root??
OK i reply to myself
i followed this steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56004439&postcount=1
just be careful if you copy and paste FASTBOOT commands.. there is a mistake the right command is :
adb reboot-bootloader ( and not bootlader as reported.. for type mistake )
to receive your UNLOCK CODE u need your imei and serial number and input this info here:
http://en.club.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=unlock&action=pre
TO GET PRODUCT ID you must download Huawei product ID generator here:
http://d-h.st/10o
everything worked just perfectly
if anyone else need info, ask me !

After days of trying to root w/o unlocking boot loader that resulted to a failure cuz my device is not vulnerable. I decided to root it the old fashioned way. I'm new to rooting and didn't understand some of the instructions written on the guides. I was forced to look into every other guides on the net to make me understand. Some has Chinese some I don't know so when I got to finally root my HAM7 I was so happy. I may make a video of this and compile the files I used to make the rooting to help others who like me, doesn't want to ask around until something goes wrong.
Looking forward knowing this way..I tried everything too but still no luck rooting my international gold edition ..don't want to unlock bootloader either.

Hello all,
Has anyone tried to unlock the Bootloader by following the steps given by HTC in HTCdev.com?
Is it the same as S-Off ?
I have done it, and no it isn't the same as S-Off. Unlocking the bootloader allows root access and access to only some system areas. Critical areas such as the radio firmware are still locked down as far as I understand. when the bootloader is unlocked the phone is still in an S-On state. You can still flash custom roms and poke around a bit with S-On
S-Off allows access to all the areas, even the critical ones and is much more dangerous as far as accidentally making your phone inoperable.

Thanks. I am unable to obtain Temproot on Sunshine. The prompt says unlocking Bootloader from HTCdev.com and then trying a different root method might work. Any tips on this?

There's a tutorial on YouTube, on how to use HTC.dev to unlock the bootloader. It shows a HTC 10 but still the same process.
The only part that will give you a headache is the bootloader token (which is covered in the video) I suggest you read up more and watch videos on the entire process and what the meaning of it all is.

Will do, thanks!
I had done it long ago on my Desire HD following one of the online Tutorials but have since forgotten.

It's still the same as back then. Last one I done was the HTC Droid DNA.
Here's the YouTube video I used for reference.

Haven't used Sunshine, just got back to Android a month ago from IOS. Good luck
I am submitting the form with the unlock token on HTCdev website and get the success message, but I never receive the email with the attachment! Account is registered to an gmail-account. Checked all folder including spam. I am using chrome as browser, tried two different computers (win 10, win 7) . I am not getting any response? The submitted token varies every time its generated even on the same PC. I thought the token is something like a guid, so there fore it should be the same every time generated? Thanks for your help!
I feel like an idiot for asking this, possibly because I am one (which can certainly be debated), but here it goes.
As the title states, I pretty much screwed up in not making sure that I had everything in place after removing root and relocking the bootloader. How would I go about re-flashing the stock recovery? I'm running a Pixel 2 and would like to be able to side load updates in the future.
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Is OEM unlock switched on ? Did you try unlocking your bootloader using fastboot?
If you can't access the recovery because the bootloader keeps crashing, then you just hard bricked your phone and there is no way back
I was able to unlock the bootloader again, so I don't think all hope is lost.
