Hey,
I have just used the HTC Bootloader Unlock process on my HTC Sensation (not 4G). Of course, after having gone through the pain, I discover that it is of no use when changing a ROM.
Please, can I get a definitive answer as every website and post I have read is either not for my phone or suggests that now I have gone the official unlock I am basically &$^%@*!!
I need to know if I can change my ROM and how to go about it now that I have done the official HTC Bootloader unlock process...PLEASE!
Thanks guys.
ps. I am a NOOB!!
Your HTC Sensation is not 4G? As I know, HTC Sensation are having 4GB internal storage, but you can only access 1GB of them.
You can find this information frpm Wikipedia.

Very good point well made!
I meant it is not the US version of HTC Sensation. Its the European version 3G. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
He was talking about 4G version, not about ROM size ; )
To the OP:
Follow the n00b guide in the Dev forum - it's all in there

Definitive answer : YES YOU CAN change ROM
NO you are NOT (*&*^)*&^ due to official unlock (unless you have some hardware issue, your warranty is NULL and VOID)
How to install another ROM...follow this thread to the letter

I didn't quite understand his question neither. Official bootloader unlock and its no use cause you can't switch roms? Root your phone using either an insecure boot.img or the temp roots, install rom manager, flash recovery, and download a rom, wipe data, cache, dalvik, system and then install .zip from sdcard, and then reboot!
It can't get easier than that. Anymore questions, read the noob post or post here, I'll help.

Hi all
Is it me, cuz im not seeing the 'desire s' listed on the htcdev.com as an option to unlock the boot loader?
All I want to do is root my stock Rom. Not interested in trying any other roms.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
It's not listed but it works. Just select the bottom option "Other Supported Devices" and follow the procedure
Does this procedure get around s-on also ?
Concerns me why they haven't listed it.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
No, your device will be s-on, but the bootloader will be unlocked. It's almost the same.
I have no clue why they haven't listed it either.....
Can you still root with s-on ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
After you unlock bootloader via htcdev.com, yes you can
Thanks for your help. One last question, how do you root the installed rom?

Look for SuperOneClick in here, it will easily root your rom
Sent from somewhere around the globe using XDA app on my HTC Desire S
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com (operation was OKAY).
SuperOneClick 2.2 hangs at step 7.
I'm guessing that you have a hboot 2.00...
When u used HTC.dev to unlock your HTC desire s you need to Install cwm or 4ext and then you can flash any Rom you like.
After flashing your HTC with the new Rom you need to fastboot the boot.img to your device cause your device is not S-off.
An other option would be downgrading. Do a few searches and you will be fine.
Otherwise post back and I'll help you out.

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Yes I have the HBOOT 2.00.002 - Android 2.3.5
In the post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390496
"dtronics" suggests 2 operations to do for s-offing for the Desire S :
1 - unlocking the bootloader (htcdev.com)
2 - using SuperOneClick 2.2
The second treatment hangs at 7th step.
Without downgrading the hboot (2.00.002):
If you have a link to a simple and complete documentation to doing s-OFF.
Thank you
Dos bootloader unlock deletes all personal apps, contacts, files or not?
Superoneclick 2.3.3 roots desire s?
Thx for help

I unlock bootloader and root, install recovery, then it deletes all contacts and file in internal storage, not delete file in sd card
In the drop down list choose other supported phones

What's better to do if I want to flash roms, htcdev unlock or S-OFF? I mean, do I have to do both, or just one, and what's better?
And what should I use, EXT4 recovery or ClockworkMod Recovery? Tnx
I would choose downgrading if necessary and S-OFF. The main disadvantages of the htcdev method are the loose of warranty and the need to flash manually the boot image every time you change the rom.
I personally like 4ext but CWM is also very good.
Next time you need some info gry to search the forum, this things were allready discussed.
As a mather of fact i don't think there's a thing left undiscussed in here.

Hello every one
I just bought my HOX a few days ago .. came here to read and try to root it .. after some readings, (not enough ) i screwd up !
the bootloader is unlocked, and I successfully flashed the TWRP 2.2.0
didn t now about the tegra and the evita versions , so I tried the first time with endeavoru.img .. failed off course and ended up having the "tampered" above the "unlocked" ligne on the bootloader screen ..
after unlocking the bootloader ( and before flashing the twrp) when I tried to go to recovery via the bootloader , a red triangle apeared .. now that I have the TWRP i can go to recovery mode .. I assume that I can now do recoveries?
could you please tell me if I screwed up big time? or it is not big deal ??
Now I only need to root ... I saw the [TOOL] HTC One X (Evita) All-In-One Toolkit V1.1 [10-28-12] [PERM ROOT][Noob-Proof] thread and I am wondering if I can root it with it ..
If yes , can I go directly to " Extras/Perm Root"?? since I already unlocked the bootloader and installed a recovery ..?
Some info about my device :
Android ver:4.0.3
HTC sense Ver:4.0
Software Number:1.91.661.4
HTC SDK API level : 4.11
Baseband version:018a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L

How about your software version?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
you don't have the at&t version so you can htcdev unlock. since you are already unlocked with recovery installed all you need to do it flash a custom rom in recovery, or flash this in recovery http://download.chainfire.eu/267/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip if you want to be stock rooted.
I believe 1.91 is the Telus version and I remember reading that you need to flash a rooted rom in order to root
That s right it s written on the box that it s a telus version ...
Could you suggest me please a rooted rom that i can safely flash in my devise
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app
Once you get bootloader unlocked and install a recovery, then pick the rom of your choice and install. I believe they are all rooted, but someone may correct me on that. If you want a stock rooted rom, then search IN THIS FORUM for a stock rooted rom
Edit: Here is a post on how to root a Telus HOX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814914
Thanx a lot dear , and sorry to ask so much questions but i want to make sure.....
Now when i chose the recovery mode in bootloader it ogives me the TeamWin tool , does this mean that i an good to go?

Hey area51 , you also have a telus one .. thanx for all ur advices .. I am now loocking for the roms .. hard to chose ...
I can flash anyone of them ? regardless of the firmware version ? or the kernel .. etc etc .. the only thing that matters is that the rom is for htc one x (evita, telus) ?? or do I need to be carfull with versions etc etc ??
last question .. Can I do what DevineLord said and only flash the CWM-SuperSU-v0.97.zip in the recovery ? will that keep my stock rom and make it rooted?
You can flash anything in this forum. Avoid the international forum as those roms will brick your phone. Not sure if flashing supersu works as I never tried. But it won't hurt you to try it and find out. I'm curious too. As far as which Rom to flash. Try them all! Play with the settings in each one and see which suits your needs the best.
We recommend reading the last 10 pages or so of the Rom thread to see what issues people are experiencing

Hi!
I've recently got this great smartphone. But... I've got the T-Mobile's One S.
Could I install a global version of the rom?
If yes, How?
Thank you xda

Yes you can. How? Easier for you to go read up on the development thread on how to unlock device, flash a custom recovery to device, root your device, supercid device, flash stock recovery, relock device, and run RUU of your choosing. Accomplishing it will happen in that order.

I've seen a lot of your other posts and if you can confirm you are unlocked and S-Off then I would recommend checking that you still have a custom recovery. If you do, then mount the SD card and move a Rom over (with GAPPS if you decide to use an AOSP Rom.) Flash the Rom and Flash GAPPS if needed. Follow the directions in the Rom of your choice if they differ from that.
Or
You could Run a RUU and start completely over. Don't forget to flash a custom recovery afterwards in bootloader mode and flash a root program (I recommend SuperSU) in recovery prior to booting the system.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593037
Just make sure you have an unlocked bootloader and S-Off prior to following any of these recommendations.

Please learn how to post properly to this forum. OP has appeared both here and in my PM, asking for help with 2 different issues and not supplying nearly enough info.
When posting a question, you need to state clearly:
- What you were trying to do (install a ROM, etc.) including what exact steps got you to the place you are at
- whether your phone is stock or modded (bootloader unlocked, rooted, S-on or S-off, etc.)
- what ROM you are on
- the info listed in the first 5 lines of hboot.
Asking for help with one vague sentence doesn't cut it. If you want help, we need details. Don't be lazy and just type vague one-sentence posts, unless you want the same in return.
Also, the question in the OP probably would have been easily answered by simply reading the Frequently Asked Questions sticky at the top of this forum section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172

No worries. Just take a deep breath and slow down before you post, and if possible sit at a computer where you can type properly. Asking for help with one sentence posts, and not providing enough details isn't going to help anyone. You will inevitably just have to type later anyway when we start asking for the details (plus more back and forth, and more waiting for a response).
I'm not personally much of an AOSP user, so I can't specifically help. But I know timmaa (and others) are more versed in AOSP.
Exactly what error are you getting when attempting to install the ROMs? Are you using the official of modified TWRP?

I am not using modded. The original 2.6.3
