So this is how it started, the phone was normally running with 4.0.3 with bootloader locked, i did unlocked the bootloader via htcdev , S-off and installed twrp from the toolkit. It was a mistake of mine that i wiped everything from twrp and the phone currently has no rom installed in it. i tried installing liberty sense rom and managed to fully install the rom but it just won't start. Keeps bootlooping.
I have been to lots of thread all the day since yesterday and it feels really exhausted that everytime you fail doing something.
This is that it shows in my bootloader:

Good Idea

Recently I had to have my phone JTAGed, because I wanted to update the bootloader. I failed to read about S-ON/S-OFF, and ended up with a brick. When I sent my phone in, I requested that they do the update and install CyanogenMod for me, so that I wouldn't end up with a paperweight again, because obviously I am too impatient.
So after I got my phone back, I noticed that the installed version was a nightly build. No biggie. I went about with this for a little while, until the other day I noticed that a few of my apps were crashing, and I got the idea to update the phone.
Well, already long story short, when I tried to run the update I got the assert failed getprop( ro.bootloader ) error. Someone else said this is because HBOOT isn't the correct version, and lo, it was not.
Ok, now we're to the issue. When the people who JTAGed my phone sent it back, they relocked the bootloader. Can I unlock the bootloader through traditional means, and then attempt the HBOOT update with the RUU? I also asked them to make the phone S-OFF, so hopefully when I unlock the bootloader it will show me that information.
I'm just trying to be sure that I don't brick my phone again. I wouldn't even be bothering with all of this if the OS was on a stable version, but it isn't.
Any help?

That's what it says in the bootloader window. Is any more information required?
Just go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. Then run the 3.18 RUU, that will upgrade your firmware as required by CM. Then just flash TWRP recovery and you're good to go.

Just finished running the 3.18 RUU and I now have the stock ROM running with the updated HBOOT. I also just finished installing the latest TWRP and am downloading the CM ROM now. Thank you so much for your help!

I have manage to make my Sensation S-OFF but I have some problem to install Kitkat. It got stuck on the boot logo or loop boot. But that's not my biggest issue right now, I'm trying to get the phone simunlocked. I have tried the PG58DIAG.nbh file on boot but I only get Security fail! Update fail.
Do I have to downgrade the HBOOT to make the PG58DIAG to work?
I have spent alot of time to come this far with Unlocked S-OFF and SU. My brain feels like a mess. I hope someone can explain how I will do to get the phone sim unlocked and maybe explain why KitKat won't work on my phone (tried CM11 and Carbon- CM11-stuck on logo, Carbon-boot loop)

S-off, no need to flash boot.img, I think that TWRP is required fom KK.

I don't use AOSP roms as I am Sense lover. However, as I can see most problems with KK roms flashing come because of recovery, cause, as I understood, KK neads some metadata bu****t that can only be achieved with TWRP.
If I'm right it won't be bad if someone could point that to everybody willing to test KK builds.
Thanks for your answers :good:
I managed to get my sensation sim unlocked. I changed my Super CID and used the PH58DIAG file without any problem.
Do I have to change back to my old cid or can I use 11111111 without any problems?
I will try some older ROMs and see... or I will try the TWRP and see if it helps
I'll be back

Can I upgrade to Kitkat with the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665746 without doing anything else?
I just got my phone 2 days ago. I'm totally clueless on HTC's workaround.
thats easy , go to htcdev , to get the token to unlock the bootloader then flash the recovery , after flashing the recovery , you can flash any rom

I think you need to unlock your bootloader and get S-off to proceed with RUU because you have superCid.

yes, the problem is that i cant load a rom, I mean, its bootloop. If i unlock bootloader and flash a recovery will be ok? I mean, i fear that unlocking bootloader brick my phone because I ran RUU with supercid
Unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP recovery again, flash a custom ROM, get s-off, then you can run any RUU you want.

ok, i unlock the bootloader, I'm trying to enter hboot again because the volumebutton ihave little damage. thanks If something happen i will report back.
PD: S-off can i do it with an aosp rom? Or need a sense rom?
It shouldn't really matter, I've done it on both.

No, but running any jb+ RUU with s-on and SuperCID causes a brick. Plus, if you have SuperCID, you need s-off to bypass the CID check that stops the RUU from running.

Uff, finally, but TWPR is weird, flash a lot in splash screen :/ but after a while works. I was thinking that i had a brick because i was s-on and supercid. I had a aosp rom, so right now I will do s off. Thanks so much
PD: Right know is in the boot screen of PAC ROM. The hboot doesnt matter for an aosp rom right?

Ok, its finnish, thanks so much. First the RUU close with an error, but i tried in another account of my pc and works (the same error was before when everything start, is funny, maybe thats save my phone from a brick because I was s-on with supercid :/ )

It's the only way you're gonna get your phone rooted, you need your bootloader unlocked first.

As the error message says, you need to be rooted and have an insecure kernel. Flash the Kickdroid ROM and try again.

If you want s-off, Rumrunner is the most reliable method, but you'll need to do as I said above. Yes you can still flash TWRP and flash ROMs while s-on, but you do need to flash the boot.img separately. You should check out my Evita FAQ thread on my signature, it'll probably answer any other questions you have about this device.
