Wait a minute...you're S-On and not rooted. Are you sure you can install custom ROM's?

based on your description you did a unlock bootloader through HTC dev...so you'll be struck with s-on for now but you can still install/flash a custom rom
which has a stock kernel option...like ARHD...if you have custom recovery then flash ARHD normally but select stock kernel while flashing otherwise you'll have bootloop again
EDIT: THIS thread might come in handy for installing custom rom on HTC dev unlocked bootloader

hello,
i have rooted my sensation (EU).. it is unlocked bootloader with s-on and hboot 1.27.0000 and when i tried to install unofficial ROM it instaled via recovery but freezes when it reboots from recovery...
and now i cant use my phone and i dont know how to unsolve the problem...
please help
Did you download 4ext recovery and enable smart flash ? Did you download the required 3.32 firmware?
I believe s on requires smart flash each time you flash a Rom. Also 4ext recovery is needed. Hope this helps, I'm s off so I flash a bit different than you but I believe this will help you.

follow this guide to the letter then flash the rom again ....(for all adb commands in the guide you can skip them ..as you cant boot now ...and the adb commands are used only to take the phone to bootloader ..which you can do it manually)
or to come out of the stuck screen first
try the extra 1 step present in the above guide

no i didnt..it worked while it was on official ics...so i didnt know that i need to do that...
is there hope for my phone ?
I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC Sensation XE and then tryied 3 custom ROMs but its stops on the boot logo and after som reasarch i found out that i have S-ON but should have S-OFF to get everything to work.
But all i found need a Android OS working to get the S-OFF set.
Someone has any ideas or is it time to get a new phone?
You can still flash roms while s-on. Flash boot.img seperately or if you use 4ext recovery, enable smartflash in settings before you flash the rom. There is a good guide about this. Use the search button.

you have 2 options:
1)using htcdev method to unlock the bootloader and root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after unlocking the bootloader flash this zip from recovery to root
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip
2)use juopunutbear method to S-OFF and root the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
the difference between S-ON and S-OFF
with S-OFF you are fully unlocked(means that you can flash also firmwares,radios,rils which on S-ON you can't)
with S-ON you are limited only for flashing custom roms anf kernels
what is Hboot?
Mostly i hearing in threads about Hboot,what's that thing,how do i know of what my device in hboot version ?
===========
How do i unlock my bootloader on Htcdev site,my device version is carrier-free(aka sim-free).

switch off the device
remove and insert the battery
then press and hold together power button and volume down until it gets you to the bootloader screen
there you will see also your hboot version
unlocking bootloader and carrier free are different things
Thanks.
By the way,does all these methods are safe to do ? (Hboot,root,bootloader etc)
PS: getting scary to being doing these methods

basically it has the same steps for S-OFF and unlock bootloader
so you can use that too
so i need to do is to first unlock bootloader(through Htcdev site).Flash any custom recovery and then root the device or I need to S-off the device too to get a root?
PS:
S-Off requires wire-trick which is like a operation of my device. :silly:

there is no need to S-OFF for root too
for root you can choose either htcdev site or S-OFF method

Follow this till you have a custom recovery with smartflash on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Then copy any zip to sdcard, boot into recovery, flash.
If you get stuck in a boot loop, extract boot.img from your custom rom and use fastboot flash boot boot.img
I recommend that you do not soff or flash radios till you feel comfortable.
Happy to help.

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
