WOW what a *****! I had two sensations sent to me to Soff, the first was Hboot 1.18 so that was slick as silk, took 1/2 hour to do everything and get it running on hypernonsense.
THEN the 2nd phone. 1.27hboot WITH a replaced motherboard. Had to make live linux cd, figure out why it wouldnt run commands from the 2nd partition, finally tried from the tmp folder, that worked, then took 30 tries to wire trick it!!!
3 HOURS LATER, Soff, CID unlocked, rooted, rom'd.... PHEW!!!!!! dont give up guys! it works!!!! ITS ALIVE and unlocked, the way they should ship from the factory!!!!
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO POSTED IN THIS THREAD. HUGE HELP!

HELP
Hello guys,
I hope it's not too late for some questions about this topic.
So today i tried to unlock a HTC Sensation (HBOOT 1.27). The problem is when the phone is on the computer (Windows 10) can see it but when i put it in Bootloader mode, the computer can't see it anymore. In Device Manager, it shows as "Unknown device" (This device cannot start. (Code 10) / Object name not found.).
PS: I already have HTC Sync, HTC USB Driver and Android SDK installed.
I have tried:
Different USB cables.
Using a USB 3.0 port.
Not using a USB 3.0 port.
Re-installed HTC drivers.
Thank you!

So, I'm completely new to this whole update thing, but I still wanna give it a try.
Have sensation z710e. Without doing any S-Off it was already showing Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL. Hboot 1.17.0006.
Now what am I supposed to do?

Don't worry.
The Problem are Windows 10 and the "new" Driver Verification.
Follow this: Go on Settings to Update,Recovery.../Recovery and on Restart.
Your PC will restart and you see a bluescreen with 3 Options, you must go on the "extended Startoptions" ,your PC will restart.
In the next bluescreen ,go on F7.
Voila your HTC is shown in fastboot mode in the Device Manager. If its shown as Unknown Device, you must update the fastboot-driver.
Found the .inf(Driver) File in your adb Folder.
Hope you understand my horrible english! Ask if not!

39Hey Guys.
Due to the lack of simple NOOB Guides I've decided to make one for all the noobs out there.
(Including me. The amount of help I needed was unimaginable!)
This is the way I gained root and S-OFF. I thought I would help others by telling them my own method.
I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR A BRICKED PHONE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
STEP 1 - Unlocking the Bootloader.
Visit - www.htcdev.com and pick the Sensation that YOU have.
Here's how you can find out which Sensation you have.
Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) will have a 'customised' T-Mobile case saying 'T-Mobile' in the corner.
Sensation - Vodafone - Will have come with 'branded' firmware. (Vodafone symbol comes up when booting up phone.) Another way of spotting is having random apps. e.g. Music Store.
Sensation (Normal) - Pretty self-explanatory. No symbol when starting up phone, no apps just plain and simple.
REMEMBER TO CHECK USB DEBUGGING
Once you have chosen your correct phone follow the steps for unlocking the bootloader.
When you have completed all the steps on www.htcdev.com you will notice that when you hold 'power' and 'volume down' it says:
***UNLOCKED***
Which obviously means you have unlocked the bootloader.
STEP 2 - Gaining 'S-OFF'
Follow juopunutbear's guide on gaining S-OFF here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
I know - using a paperclip? Trust me, worth every bit of time. If it doesn't work then try and try again.
When you've gained 'S-OFF' you should notice that when you hold 'power' and 'volume down' it says:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000 S-OFF
Which is great!
STEP 3 - Flashing a new recovery
REMEMBER TO CHECK USB DEBUGGING
The way I flashed a new recovery was extremely quick and easy:
Download this AMAZING Tool-Kit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
All credit goes to hansoon2000!
Power on your phone.
Check you have USB DEBUGGING Enabled.
Plug your phone into your computer.
Make sure you have drivers enabled. (Unlocking the bootloader should of made you download 'HTC SYNC' for the drivers.)
UN-INSTALL HTC SYNC.
Unplug your phone from the usb cable so it enables you to power off.
Hold 'power' and 'volume down' and press power on 'FASTBOOT'
You've entered FASTBOOT.
Plug the USB Cable back into the phone.
Do not touch anything on the phone.
Go onto your computer and open up the HTC ALL IN ONE KIT.
In the top right-hand corner you will see a list of recoveries.
Click 4-EXT.
I've done a picture to help in attachments.
Your phone will go through numerous screens etc. but don't worry! It's flashing your new recovery! So long stock recovery!
When it has finished remember to check if it has worked!
When it has then congrats! Now onto root...
STEP 4 - Gaining Root
REMEMBER TO CHECK USB DEBUGGING
Use the All-in-One-Kit that you downloaded earlier for flashing the recovery to gain root. Read the instructions below.
Assuming you're doing this straight after the last step then you will not need to enter fastboot again, etc.
If not read through the last step again until OPENING THE HTC ALL IN ONE KIT.
This time in the bottom right hand corner you should see perm-root.
SEE ATTACHMENTS FOR A PICTURE.
Click it and let the program install Superuser and gain root access.
You should see SuperUser installed!
If all goes well then Congrats! You have successfully rooted and S-OFF'd your phone.
Now! Who wants a nice new ROM!?
Check this thread by walidhazem for a list of every ROM being developed for the Sensation: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613295
Hit thanks if I helped, this post took a lot of time and effort!4small corrections
after SOFF ..either the person wll have LOCKED hboot or Juopunutbear HBOOT (if he said yes to eng-hboot after soff is done) but no way it stays UNLOCKED
also after doing HTC-DEV unlock and before doing SOFF ..the person should have ROOT too (actually juopunutbear requires root access only which then can be granted via HTC-DEV unlock only )
ROOT is a per-requisite to SOFF
and to just root ..no need to have recovery (unless the guy wants to flash some custom roms) ..he/she can use my one click root tool ..link in my signature (works if the guys just have HTC-DEV unlock too )
and lastly ..there are enough guides already i think ..auggie2k soff guide (which you have linked ) covers the standard SOFF process which has HTC-DEV unlock ..and my guide covers NON HTC-DEV method of SOFF
and for root ..my guide covers it and there is a old guide by VIPERX i believe covers rooting by flashing su zip, also kgs aio tool and hansoons tool covers them too
just my 2 cents here2
No s-off is not necesary for anything above 4.0.3 you can flash almost every rom with s-on ( enable smartflash from recovery before flashing), and almost every rom is compatible with 3.33 firmware so dont worry and happy flashing 1
i think with usb 3.0 ports it won't work but i 'm not totally sure
for installing roms you can do it also with S-ON but requires root.see here

about elegancia i don't know the answer but you can ask there(in my opinion it is not necessary)1
