Some sensations come with the unlocked bootloader right? mine is one of the newest sensations, and i think maybe it's unlocked, but how y can know that?
Make sure Fastboot is turned off in Settings > Power
Power down the phone.
Hold down the volume down button and power at the same time until it takes you to screen
That will say Ship S-On (locked bootloader)
Or Ship S-Off (unlocked bootloader.
I believe that's it.

THanks my friend, this worked very well but...
Oh Fuc* i have no lucky... mine is saying...
SHIP S-ON... so its locked.... damn, HTC will unlock our locked devices one of those days?
I have a sensation that was locked to orange, i S-Off'd and rooted, and un sim-locked but after the screen started playing up i decided to to unroot and S-On, in case of any warranty issues. When i S-On'd i flashed a stock HTC Europe ROM, if returning for repairs can i use this ROM or do i need to use the stock Orange ROM?
Also when device is in HBOOT, above Pyramid PVT Ship S-On RL it says ***LOCKED***, what does this mean? Does it mean it is not completely back to stock? I cannot see what it means as the device is no longer simlocked as it takes a Tmobile sim.
Thanks

Actually it means that you are back to stock. I take you still have super cid as you flashed different ruu? That would be an instant giveaway that you've tampered with your phone if they happen to check it.

Yeah, i used supercid, i wasnt sure how to find the specific cid for the stock ROM, if i use the correct cid for that ROM will it remove any traces?
Thanks
Thing is now you can't change cid as you are s-on LOL. Keep looking for your original RUU, then s-off, change cid to original one and flash stock RUU.

CID
Can somebody explain how I can return my CID to default before I run the RUU for my region.
I know my CID was HTC__001 and I have checked the guide in the dev section but it just say to run the command
fasttboot oem writesecureflag 3 which I think turn S-on??
Yeah i understand i need to return to S-Off thats not the problem, how do i find the cid for the stock ROM? Orange UK 1.35.61.1
hope it helps

Thanks a lot! Exactly what i needed, will be flashing stock Orange ROM pronto!
One other thing, If i have any trouble with my phone, as it is sim unlocked by myself, can they tell this even with S-On, Stock ROM and CID? I know that if you go in there they often ask for you phone number etc, (i could just get a free orange PAYG sim and stick it in if i ever have any trouble) and if i tell them it and its flags up as a Tmobile number will they refuse to repair as well (as they can tell it wouldve been unlocked)? Also the phone was off ebay and i have no proof of purchase, but its in an orange branded box and the phone has orange branding on the back, should this be legitimate proof?
Thanks
My phone was unbranded when I bought it so I can't answer your questions, sorry. I hope some one comes and helps.
Let me know if it works OK to get your CID back to your default, I need to do mine tonight but I'm a bit wary of doing it and the whole RUU process.

Ok i shall do, I hope someone can shed some light!
I have just S-Off'd and written the CID, seems no problem and i am just about to flash the ROM, i shall update you in a mo.
Just follow this guide and you should be fine!

Just finished flashing the ROM, everything seems ok, although i now need to edit APN settings as Im using a Tmobile sim and an Orange ROM. Good luck and let us know how you get on, it is reasonably straighforward!
All sorted no problems at all, I just restored stock ROM then changed my CID back to HTC__001 then I put s-on and viola back to stock phone.
Sucks when your used to custom ROMs

Its HTC__001 ,the one you are looking for.
11111111 is SuperCID, if you send it back with that CID, they can tell you've been fiddling..
Are you completely sure HTC_001 is the unlocked cid in Denmark aswell? Coz there's a way to flash it back

You will need to flash the RUU with superCid, then change cid back to land code and then remove s-off

So my Sensation was S-Off and rooted however it started to play up so went back to S-On and Un-rooted, HBOOT now reads ****Locked**** and S-On. Is this all I need to do, does something more need to be done, will they be able to tell? They said on the phone if warranty is voided then I must incur the cost of fixing it..
Id really appreciate your help guys.

Hi, i am sending mine back tomorrow as well.
Do I have to put it back to S-ON? I've heard its risky.
Best to, and it's not risky if you follow the guide to a T
Make sure you've set the CID back to what it should be before doing it (assuming you changed it in the first place)
Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.
I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.
It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.
I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

I too am wondering the same thing, but my problem is slightly different. My phone wont even power on so i was unable to s-on factory rom it, im unsure of what exactly needs to be replaced on the phone so idk if theyre gonna be able to see that the software has been changed.
Hi again,
I found my CID: VODAP102, it's for Vodafone Germany.
Where can I find the matching stock ROM?
Thanks,

Okay, my Sensation is ready to go for repairs:
I found an old HTC_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE RUU here.
I installed it. And updated... and updated... and updated...
Because I still had my original cid I was able to get my phone into fastboot and "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".

Yes it did, HTC UK repaired the phone and converted it to a stock HTC UK phone without any German or Vodafone stuff on it anymore.
They didn't charge me anything for it.

I sent my Sensation back a few weeks ago because the touchscreen stopped working with S-OFF and they didn't notice and is still S-OFF now!
OK, so I am learning android (using HD2 now) and from what I understand when you use the htc boot loader unlocker you end up with a "tampered" warning somewhere that will let htc or your carrier know that you have unlocked your bootloader.
Does having s-off help you to be able to trick the phone from knowing that you have been into it if you flash it back to stock?
I am just worried about keeping insurance on the phone if once I unlock or s-off they will no longer cover it.

I think that particular device will say, tampered. Soff is like security off you can fash roms and do many things with soff but no it does not trick the device into thinking its not tampered. With my device I can s on return to stock but I'm not sure about yours.
It might have tampered marked on it.

It doesn't set a "tampered" flag. The stock bootloader has a caption at the top of *locked*. When you use htcdev to unlock the bootloader it will change that caption to *unlocked* and it cannot be undone.
S-off, on the other hand, does not notify HTC or your carrier of what you have done. It is also reversible if you really need to set things back to full stock.

When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it does show Unlocked on the Hboot screen. But if you re lock the bootloader it displays re locked on the Hboot screen and not locked as it is originally. S-off can be reversed with out any trace of it being S-off. And now that the unbricking project has come up with a way to recover your de ice if going S-on soft bricks your device it is way less dangerous now.
At realsis, think about S-off as being like HSPL for the HD2.
I believe someone has figured out what was being set differently, and you can in fact return to "locked"

Go on........
Don't know if this works for the Sensation, but if someone is trying to go back to locked hboot, give it a try.
Go back to totally stock. Flash a RUU, preferably GB so that you have an earlier hboot that can be easily S-OFFed again.
fastboot oem write secureflag 3
Reboot and you should be S-ON again. AGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE TOTALLY STOCK WITH A SHIP HBOOT OR YOU WILL BRICK.
Use revolutionary to S-OFF again. Hopefully, you will be locked at this point.
If not, repeat, but use JuopunutBear to S-OFF.
If you're still unlocked, this method doesn't work on the Sensation.
Just a heads up, HTCDEV unlocking no longer works with supercid. Changing cid to 22222222 does work. Thanks BEAUPS for already confirming that (Hes a beast)
Seeing that the chances of the hox exploits getting updated are pretty slim heres a easy fix to get people unlocked
Easy fix-
Use any existing exploits that changes your cid to supercid. Once done-
From bootloader use the fastboot cmd
fastboot oem writecid 22222222
Then proceed with getting your unlock token as usual using htcdev
The above cmd will only work with supercid. Once you change it to anything other, the command no longer will change cid. You have to do it manually.....
This is just a heads up and a quick workaround for those that need it.

Supercid doesn't cause brick or atleast out of the many ota's I have done it has never caused an issue. Who actually did have issues with supercid and an ota?

I get an issue with SuperCID: I apply an ota from an official RUU to get Jelly Bean, the ota was very well installed but at the end of the process the phone doesn't boot an was locked in QHSUSB_DLOAD and at this time when you're locked in this mod by OTA update with superCID you can't rewrite partitions with the topic "unbricking evita".
My only solution was mobiletechvideos.com who fixed it very well

What ruu did you apply? Was the phone modified in any other way than supercid? Eg was the hboot downgraded? Previous unlocked bootloader? Current unlocked bootloader?
What was the full state of the phone prior to accepting ota.
How was the ota applied? Did you simply check for updates and accept then follow prompts. Or installed via fastboot?
I have upgraded 2 hk one xl's with supercid to 3.17 via ota without issue. One was previously hong Kong ruu then wiped and had singtel stock Rom flashed then accepted singtel 3.17 ota. Could not use singtel ruu as Hong Kong ruu was newer and already installed. Hboot downgrade and software version tinkering still did not allow singtel ruu. I could only reinstall honk Kong ruu.
The other via o2 ruu and o2 3.17.
There seems to be some differences in the protections in hboot. Downgrading my phones hboot to 1.09 did not make flashing radio and boot from recovery functional again. It did not let me install older ruu's. My devices, one that has had every mod and flash done to it and the other very very little, both seem super hboot protected now!
The similar theme is both devices have been through all 4 generation of ota's. Following different ota and ruu paths but have now got the same outcome.
Maybe it relates to when supercid was applied even. Both my devices had supercid applied at hboot 1.09.
Damn HTC and ATT! They are bent on making this difficult. My next phone will be Nexus, enough of this crap!
We've had worse patches to overcome on the Evita, atleast its a simple solution for the time being. I do agree tho. I moved on from htc for the time being.

Just tested.

Supercid 11111111
Just went through http://htcdev.com unlock process and got an unlock token 100% fine.
Again there is nothing wrong with Supercid, at least not in general. It works with htcdev.com and does not brick phones.
Someone needs to check if it is just AT&T phones that are struggling with supercid or if something else is upsetting things.
It is not supercid on its own, supercid(11111111) works fine!
HTC/AT&T might be actively checking for modified AT&T phones that are getting unlock tokens via root exploits and changing cid.
Non at&t phones don't need supercid, so this only affects at&t phones. All the other carriers phones will unlock with out messing with the cid number.
