no you don't need S-OFF for flashing roms
but you have to do an extra step after flashing the rom
to flash the boot.img via fastboot command
or install 4ext recovery and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext

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:
RUU-Pyramid-LE-ICS-35-hTC-Asia-WWE-3.33.707.106-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-268334-signed.exe

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

thank you all.
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.

Dear Thanks alot it worked for me...:good:
My device HTC Sensation
HBoot: 1.27.0000
Firmware: 3.33.401.53
Rooted
S-ON
The problem is I tried to flash a custom ROM (Viper, MIUI etc) but all of them get stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
Currently I have no ROM installed, tried the RUU but always failed to find the correct version. Going S-OFF will help I guess but I can't get that done without a ROM installed.
What to do?
Ur s-on so u will need to flash the boot.img before/after u flash a rom.
Boot recovery
Full wipe
Flash rom
Boot straight into fastboot
Flash boot.img
Reboot
Click the sensation help thread in my sig, guides there.

Also, make sure you have smartflash enabled in 4EXT recovery.
Note: 4EXT recovery is required for s-on users. Also, don't forget to wipe all partitions before changing ROMs.

After flashing proper boot.img either manually or via 4ext recovery, if your phone still gets stuck on splash screen/bootanimation, WAIT ATLEST 10 mins. First boot always takes longer.
Happy to help.
.....because I've got Hboot 1.27
Tried, but just stuck in boot loop etc.
I've unlocked etc....but nothing works for s-off...the tool says device not supported etc.

You CAN flash roms with hboot 1.27 and S-ON.
The most likely reason for a bootloop is incorrect boot.img
Either flash roms using 4ext SmartFlash
Or manually flash boot.img via
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

IF you have 4ext recovery (enable smartflash), perform a full wipe (after backup) and flash.
ELSE, extract boot.img from your rom, boot into fastboot and use
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm on HBOOT 1.27.00000 and S-ON.
Now I've just flashed MIUI v5 4.2.14 and it won't boot after restart.
It stays at the HTC white screen.
Is there anyone kind enough to guide me how to properly install MIUI, or, at least back to the stock rom?
I'm desperately needing help here :crying:

I finally figured it out.
After flashing the rom, have to flash the boot.img (inside the rom zip file) as well, using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now I'm able to boot into MIUI and enjoy the new rom!
I never have to do this extra step with flashing my Desire HD, not sure why it doesn't work this time.
Anyway, thanks for your help

So I don't really need S-OFF to flash any custom roms that I want right?
I will just have to take the extra step of flashing boot.img..
Because I can't seem to work out S-OFF on my sensation despite whole afternoon of hard-works.
Is there an easy way to S-OFF sensation other than the paper-clip hack?

no need to S-OFF for flashing custom roms
and unfortunately there is no other way except wire trick
but you can always flash 4ext recovery and avoid the extra step for boot.img
