since you are on S-OFF there is no point to unlock the bootloader
you can flash the 3.33 firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
BUT
if you ever decided to return to S-ON first you have to flash a ruu.exe to return to stock
then make sure that you will have the official hboot
if you have the official then return to S-ON
Thanks for reply!
I was thinking about unlocking BL because i don't have warranty already (old device , but i think this
"since you are on S-OFF there is no point to unlock the bootloader" is all i needed to know
I am soff but not rooted.. What do I need to do now to flash a custom rom? And I do not have a custom recovery. I had a custom recovery but it I went back to stock in lost it.

Hello Guys
I want to flash The Android Revolution HD custon ROM.. I read this thread and also this one I fully understand, but just some points are not clear, I desperately need your guidance
The points that I didn't understand are:
- How to SuperWipe! I searched the forums, I know I hv to put Mike's script in root of sdcard.. boot at recovery.. when I choose recovery (after holding volume- + power key) It only shows a draw of a mobile with red exclamation mark! should I hv flashed recovery first? I never flashed anything.. I only unlocked my phone at htcdev.com and my sensation has S-ON and Hboot 1.27. With upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and 3.32.163.12 firmware.
- What is the best recovery that would help me do superwipe? And how to flash this recovery?
So when I successfully superwipe I should install a stock ROM Then root it again ( as auggie2k explained)
I know how to install a ROM but I Don't know how to root!
So many questions I know! sorry but I'm new at those things..
1. This really should have gone in Q&A section
2. Best recovery is probably 4EXT.
3. Because you are S-ON, you need to follow the installing ROMs with S-ON guide (another reason to use 4EXT recovery is because of smartflash feature which makes flashing a ROM with S-ON much simpler).
4. I would recommend S-OFFing anyway because it means you can upgrade firmware and get supercid as well as others, look at the guides for juopunutbear S-OFF for more info on this

Thanks guys for your guidnance.. I was just confused coz there are too much threads there that i read! anyway It was really easy though! Also this thread helped me to Boot into 4ext Recovery from PC without installation:fingers-crossed: which allowed me to wipe, root and install Stock ROM then doing S-OFF which was successful after following http://unlimited.io/'s JuopunutBear method. Now that I installed 4-EXT with your help guys, I'm downloading ARHD ROM in order to flash it with 3.33.401.x firmware

then the only you have to do is flash a rom
and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext
follow the guide as suggested previously
which rom should i use?
when i try to flash the phone in fastboot mode with this one:

a ruu brings the device into 100% stock as you bought it
in order to run the ruu you have first to relock your bootloader
that's why you have that error
but do you have a specific reason to use a ruu.exe?
if not then go to mike's thread in development section and download the rom
there is the stock or ARHD rom which is the closest to the stock
the rom it can be flashed from the recovery
and before flashing enable smartflash

First of all i re-unlocked the bootloader from HTCDEV.
then enable the smartflash from 4ext recovery menu.
then downloaded this file: Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_7.2.zip and put it on sdcard.
then install it from sdcard.
then i flashed the boot after flashing.
now it works.

Since you are s-off, follow this guide to update your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154
Follow all instructions and then flash ICS/jellybean ROM. All bootloops should be gone and ROM should boot up perfectly. Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong!

Hey guys! My friend recently bought a Sensation XE 2nd hand... It had its. Official firmware of 2.3.5 Gingerbread.. I noticed it was. S-OFF.. But no recovery (got the download and phone icon only when i got there).
The bootloader is LOCKED.
It had its. HBOOT as 1.18.0(something - i dnt remember but 1.18 is confirmed). Yes it was "pyramid".
I wanna know if I can flash roms in it? And if. So. Please answer these:
1. How can i flash the recovery? Seeing its S-OFF and all.. Is there an app to flash? And also the recommended RECOVERY for that purpose.
2. Can i flash ROMs on it after doing the recovery? Since its S-OFFed and all.
3. Also will it run into trouble seeing the Hboot no. Is too old.
4. It's a T-Mobile branded phone so keep that in mind.
Thanks alot please help me out in this

you have bootloop because your rom is gingerbread and now you have ics firmware
just flash an ics or jb rom from recovery
make a nandroid first just in case
by the way what firmware did you use because i see you have the official hboot version
did you use the one from the link that Mile_zdr provided you?
