edit:
Well, I've got some comments on that..
For whom is interested of knowing the OEM commands, in fastboot write "fastboot oem h".

"adb pull /dev/block/"""mmcblock123""" misc.img" won't work as this is a partition, not a folder.

I suggest using this:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/misc.img
Well, basically, my bootloader is locked, but for some reason, I have "HTCUUpdate", so it's kinda strange.

It would be great if anybody could post his misc.img of his unlocked bootloader so I can compare and tell what's wrong.

Cheers!

I doubt if this works, the unlock_status flag is stored in radio NVRAM and what is stored in misc partition is for RUUs to check it.
Since I don't have a locked device, I can't test it but what claudenegm said kinda confirms this.

EDIT
I can confirm patching the misc partition doesn't have any effects on unlock status.

First of all, this method ain't gonna work since the locked flag is stored in Radio NVRAM and what is stored in misc partition is for RUUs.

Second, "OOW" in "LOCKED OOW" means "Out Of Warranty"!

Oh i.c thanks fardjad , it mean it is still need to using Htc Dev to unlocking bootloader for done all?
If you need warranty, you shouldn't unlock your bootloader at all.

You can also S-OFF your device by flashing unlimited.io HBOOTs. For doing so, you only need to temp-root your device.

There is also a detailed guide in Sensation XL General Section that might help.

I didn't mean to offense or anything :), just wanted to report that it's not working on SXL and tried to explain why.

I my self really like to try and discuss these things...
And if I were you I'd rather not to delete it. It may be useful for many people in many ways...
