Hello please im having problem unlocking my bootloader on HTC SENSATION XE . I followed d procedure on htcdev and i did everything correctly untill d last step where i'll choose to either void the warrant and unlock the bootloader or ignore and reboot the phone. But this is where the problem is, the power key refuses to select the unlock bootloader. I tried everything even re-generating another token for couple of time but to no avail. So i dont know if anyone has a solution for this. Thank you

yes you can flash any custom rom after S-OFF
after S-OFF flash a custom recovery
then flash a custom rom from recovery
done

Phone has already been SIM unlocked using the PG58Diag method. I still can't use my Walmart Family Mobile SIM card, which is retarded because the phone is a T-Mobile phone and Walmart Family Mobile is just TMobile service resold by Walmart

+1 to that
initial tests failed but..its a huge success in HTC-ONE-X forum...so i guess it should be working in your case too..

so now im going to give you the tool
(its not mine..I havent developed it )
i took the tool from this thread and modified it a little bit to support sensation/XE/4G

tool:
DB link -root-sensation-windows

right now this tool supports windows ony

DISCLAIMER: i wont be responsible if this process bricks your device (which i highly doubt it) ..so run this tool at your own risk

NOTE:
1.first of all you need to make sure that you guys have adb/fastboot setup(if you dont then check this guide)

2.check whether your device is being recognized.
To check this follow the below steps
  • connect your mobile to pc...keep your device in lock screen/home screen
  • open the folder where your adb/fastboot present
  • hold shift + right click on the white space of the folder and click "open command window here"
  • type "adb devices" without quotes...it should show your device serial number
  • that's all your device is attached now


instructions on how to run the tool:

1.Download the zip file i've linked.
2.Extract root-sensation-windows.zip into a directory on your computer.
3.Plug your HTC SENSATION/XE/4G into your computer via USB. Recommended: Plug your device’s
USB cable into the back of your computer if you’re using a desktop PC.
4.Enable USB Debugging on your HTC sensation. Settings >> Develop Options >>USB debugging (checked)
5.Double click root.bat to run the script and wait until it completes. Don't touch the device until it's run completely.
6.if "EVERYTHING DONE..ROOT SUCCESS...ONE FINAL REBOOT NOW" comes in the command windows which pops up after double clicking the root.. Then it's a success.
6.reboot and check the root access via root check basic app.

It should not take more than 3 minutes to run the complete code
If it got halted in the middle.. Please post me back the last print present in the cmd window that poped up after double clicking root file
also after running everything successfully you didn't got root access..then please click on "IRC HELP CHANNEL" in my signature and join the irc..I'll be there mostly and will help you out

PS: i Can't guarantee you 100% success...need to test this tool that's why i'm asking for your help and feedback :D

I had the same error when I was on the site trying to get my unlock token. What I did was shut down my phone, restarted the whole process over again. It finally took on the fourth or fifth time. My issue was that I had the HTC connect application still on my computer. You have to uninstall the HTC software connect app. When you do that more drivers will download onto your pc. I have a HTC one and I was so mad that I did everything exactly as it said except uninstall that software. So try that. Then restart all over again and reboot your phone.

In most cases, htc sync interferes with fastboot and adb. I never used the damn thing anyway. Only drivers are needed.


JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.
