I tried unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev method, followed all the steps and reached this error too. I tried getting a new Unlock_Code.bin fine (about 7 times) and every time I had the same result.

Tried placing files in a different location and instead of getting "remote: unlock token check failed", I got "remote: signature verify failed" instead. I tried the HTCdev method with another Sensation I have and it went okay, it's just an issue with this phone.

Anything else I can try?

Yes, I will write a walkthrough for you...give me till the end of the day

This guide assumes I won't get the error I'm getting, which happens at step 10 of HTCdev guide.

My guide assumes you will follow it. If you are not interested, fine but there are thousands of M7 users on here that have managed to unlock their bootloader following very simple guides. This is one of them.
If your unlock_bin is not in the right place or your sdk folder is not set up properly or USB debugging is not on or you haven't copied your identifying token properly you are going to have problems......which you have.
So rather than thinking I'm assuming, follow the guide letter for letter and you will unlock your bootloader.....remember forget everything you have already done and start from scratch using my links to drivers, sdk and twrp.
Or carry on and fail....your choice.

If you're 100% sure you did everything right, as explained on htcdev.com (i.e not using an old Unlock_code.bin or one generated from an another phone token) then maybe there is somehting wrong with the phone. Can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" please (remove your imei/sn)

Is your phone running a modded hboot?

Here are the results of getvar all command:

I don't think HBOOT is modded...

First your device is the HTC Sensation so you're requesting help in the wrong forum section, this thread is for the HTC One.
Anyway, I have made a lil bit of research for you and apparently, "Unlock token check failed" is a well known problem for all Sensation that got their motherboard replaced, ppl solved this problem using s-off exploits to bypass their need to use htcdev.com method.

Yeah, I'm in the wrong section, but googling the error message led me here, I figured the logistics were the same.

Can I get s-off without unlocking the bootloader first?

Read my previous post again carefully and you'll notice your question doesn't make sense

Ok, clearly I'll have to look more into it. Thanks for your help.

You'll find a couple of threads on how to s-off the sensation in the link I've posted. I would try rumrunner first since the other one (the wire trick) seems less reliable.
