I don't know why but someone asked for more detailed instructions so here ya go. Plus with the zip you can bypass the file grabbing from the SDK.
Boot loader unlock WILL VOID your WARRENTY
Windows only at the moment. You can do it on a mac from their steps I'm just clarifying and speeding it up a bit. Click the thanks button if I helped!
Make sure you have HTC Drivers installed. If you need them you can download them here
1. Alright, so in order to unlock your rezound go to http://www.htcdev.com/ then click on unlock boot loader -> Get Started -> Now if you have an account, log in. Otherwise register, validate the email, and then click on Begin Unlock Bootloader. Accept their terms and agreements and continue to step 2 when the window with their steps open. DON'T CLOSE OUT OF THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Their steps are pretty clear but I'll put a brief summary here. Make sure you have USB debugging on. You have to boot the phone into the bootloader by taking the battery out, putting it back in, and then holding the power button and the volume down at the same time. You then select FASTBOOT in the menu by clicking the power button (it should be the first option). Plug the phone into your computer and don't touch it anymore.
3. Download the attached zip folder and extract it to a location of your choice (I chose C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools). Now open up the command prompt by going to start and typing cmd in the search bar. When it opens up navigate to the directory you extracted the unlock tools to.
ex. this is what I would have to do
HTML:
cd C:\Users\[Your Name Here]\unlock tools
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Ignore that mine says B: the default is C: I just have multiple hard drives and operating systems.
then type:
HTML:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
when it finishes you should see a column of numbers, your unlock code. Copy the numbers and the start and stop lines without the bootloader prefix.
In order to copy right click -> Mark -> select the area -> Ctrl + C
Then go to the last page on the htc guide and paste it, for example
Click submit and if everything went well it should tell you to check your email!
After you receive your email from HTC simply download the Unlock_Code.bin and place it in the same folder as all of the other tools. Then in command prompt type:
HTML:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Now on your phone you will see
Use the volume keys to move up and down and the power button to select, same as in the bootloader.
NOTE: THERE IS NO GOING BACK AND YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL SAY RE-LOCKED IF YOU CHOOSE TO RELOCK. THIS DOES VOID YOUR WARRENTY.
Also choosing yes WILL PERFORM A FACTORY RESET
Last but not least if you want to re-lock simply type:
HTML:
fastboot oem lock

I'm new at this so excuse my ignorance.
I understand by doing this I'll be able to perm root and basically do anything to my phone that an fully rooted and s-off phone would be able to do. I also get that if I do relock it'll say relocked.
So my question is what is the benefit of having s-off if this method will do everything I need?

With an unlocked bootloader without s-off it's more of a pain in the ass basically. Along with the fact that without s-off we can't touch certain partitions, including the radio firmware and other things. What we can do for now is flash custom recovery, roms, and kernals.

There is a zip file at the bottom of the OP if you download that you don't need to worry about android-sdk-windows you just use the files inside. You just need to navigate to where you extracted the files in command line via the change directory command "cd". For example if I extracted it to my desktop in a folder called test the command would be
HTML:
cd c:\users\[Your Username]\Desktop\Test
Then you would use the fastboot command to read the identifier token which is
HTML:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Ok I got my unlock token (unlock code.bin) could any Linux savvy folks help me with what to type in the terminal to use it? Fastboot is working and debugging is enabled when I type in what the htc site says my terminal says cannot load unlock code.bin thanks guys please help. I'm on Linuxmint by the way

Step 4 Download adb file
Once you DL extract the file to your desktop.
Step 5,6,&7
Code:
cd C:\adb
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot oem-78
^^^This will make your Tablet Run RUU exe files

<--- HTC View ( Express )
Step 9 You could open your eyes and your Tablet is unbrick.
Please forgive me for a sloppy way to explain but these are the steps to get your tablet to un brick. Plus I am not responsible WHAT SO EVER!!! Just trying to help
Technically there is no way to unbrick a device, because for a device to be truly bricked it has to be completely unusable, no recovery no nothing. Who cares about technicalities though, good job, I'm sure this will help someone down the road!

That's true, at most this fixes a semi-brick. Some people consider it a brick, if there is no way to brick it back to life, without opening up the device.
How about some explanation of how you semi-bricked your Flyer/View? Trying to root, what step you got stuck on, etc. What were the symptoms? Stuck on boot splash screen, etc.
But thanks for posting.

Thanks for your input, then again there are noobs like myself.
You should be able to take the same RUU file and rename it to PG41IMG.zip, place it on the root of the sdcard, then boot into bootloader, and it will automatically check for the file and ask if you want to install. Does the same as what the OP does but with no ADB required.
***DO NOT*** leave this PG41IMG.zip on your sdcard. If you get caught in a bootloop or something similar it will prevent you from getting to recovery. Once hboot detects that file it only lets you choose install or reboot. So you can't select recovery without removing/renaming the file.

You must have made a mistake.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175589
When you download it on a windows pc, if the pc is setup to NOT show file extensions, and you name it .zip the file will end up being named PG41IMG.zip.zip causing it to fail. That is the most common reason for it to fail. It is also case sensitive, and MUST be on the root of the sdcard, not on any folders.
P-G-4-1-I-M-G
It works on basically every HTC Android device ever made and has worked on this particular one for other people.

Still didn't answer all my questions. What step, or what were you trying to do when you got stuck on the boot splash? Add this info to the OP, so people know what situation this "How To" is applicable for.
And its not a brick, just because you didn't know what to do.

There isn't an option to reboot that you can scroll to with the volume buttons and select with the power button??
If it did install the RUU you would have seen it saying stuff about unpacking and such on the screen, and a litle progress bar usually in the upper right hand corner tho it could be placed differently on a tablet. Either way after it install an RUU the only thing you should be able to do is press power to reboot.

You are about to start the process of unlocking your device. Unlocking your device allows you to install custom Operating Systems (“OS”) onto your device. Custom OS’s are not tested as thoroughly as your original OS, and unlocking your device may void all or parts of your warranty. HTC disclaims any and all liability for proper functioning of your device after the bootloader has been unlocked and for data lost in the unlocking process. To prevent unauthorized access to your data, unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data from your device including applications, text messages and personalized settings.

Unlocking the bootloader through HTC does not give you S=Off, I had the same issue when I unlocked my sensation using this method. You need S=Off to have write permissions to install a custom recovery image or ROM's.
Typical HTC BS, I far as I concerned, once you have acknowledged the warning about voiding warranty, you have accepted the risk and they phone should be fully unlocked and not the partial one they are giving you.
The whole HTC bootloader unlock method is NOT what you think it is and is very misleading as far as I am concerned.
[How To] Downgrade and Unlock and S-OFF "Almost" Every GSM EVO 3D Out There !!!
Sorry I'm not following up on this thread as I usually did, this is due to whats going on in Egypt..
as I'm usually contribute in the protests so most of the time I'm not home
but I see XDA member "Flashmaniac" is doing a great job
EDIT : Check the Second post, it has a program he created that makes this process more easier !!
so I just wanted to thank him for his great efforts in the OP, and you guys should thank him too
thank you very much flashmaniac
Hi Everyone
this is my first contribution to this great forum...
first off and to clear everything up..
this is NOT my work, nor do I take any credit for it
the original creator of this work has removed it and I wont mention who he is so he doesnt get arrested by SOPA or The FBI or whatever is going on in the US
but I think we know him all
so thanks to him I unlocked and S-OFF'd my EVO after having it useless for several months..
and I think other people should have this too
so, the SOPA and the FBI dont scare me and I take full legal responsibility of the contents of this tutorial..
I did this from the beleif that everyone has the right to S-OFF his device and fully enjoy its benefits like I did
and the fact that I achieved S-OFF before this guide got removed does not make me better than anyone
so enjoy
and please hope I dont get banned for this
So ...

UPDATE : 08-Feb-2012
an awesome tool compiled by the awesome XDA member Flashmaniac
BIG thanks to him
just waited for some users to confirm it works before adding to the OP
Flashmaniac said:
Ok guys, it's ready! You just need my tool, no need to do anything yourself. Except of goldcard (if necessary)
Download
extract it anywhere and do the following steps
ATTENTION: You do that, cause you want it. If you have problems afterwards it's not my fault, nor the fault of xda's or someone else. It's 100% working if you do it correctly.
1. You need to be preerooted. Flash a custom rom i.e. LeeDroiD.
2. Plug your phone to your computer. Normald Mode-Usb Debugging Enabled.
3. Start step1.exe - if you get any error, don't even try step2.exe - post the error here and I will try to help you
4. If necessary, create a goldcard. step1.exe will start a tool when it is finished. The tool is easy to use. It will help you to create and patch the goldcard
5. Start step2.exe - it will start flushing after sometime - DO NOT even think about removing the USB Cabel when it has started. That might temp-brick your phone.
6. You will see a status on your monitor and onscreen of your device
7. When it's done it will reboot - you will have x07 Hboot and continue s-offing via Revolutionary
Enjoy and report please! When I have 5 users telling me that it is working, I will make a new Thread for it.

Step 6:
1. Open back command prompt window
2. Type "adb shell dd if=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31"
3. Type "adb reboot-bootloader"
4. Plug in your USB Cable, select "Fastboot" if you are still in hboot menu. You will see "Fastboot" turn to "Fastboot USB".
5. Open back your command prompt, type "fastboot oem lock"
6. At your phone, don't do anything, just select "power down" and make sure it power off.
7. Remove the battery.
Step 7:
1. Take out the SD Card and put it in the Sd Card adapter.
2. Plug it to your PC and transfer the PG86IMG.zip into the sdcard. Do not put it in the folder.
3. Remove the card from the PC and put it in your phone, put back the battery but DO NOT connect the USB cable to your phone.

1. After finished, remove the PG86IMG.zip from your SD Card immediately using file browser ( if cannot just power down, remove the card from your phone, and plug to your adapter> connect to PC> remove PG86IMG.zip> and put the card back to your phone).
2. You will now have hboot 1.49.0007
3. Unlock your devices again using HTCDev Method (again, in the end of the procedure, DO NOT relock your devices by typing "fastboot oem lock").
4. Reboot.
5. In your roms, please enable USB Debugging. You can change it in Setting>Applications>Development>.
6. Disable Fastboot. You can do that in Setting>Power>.
Step 9:

2. Go to revolutionary.i0
3. Download the one for according to your PC OS, window or linux.
4. After you download, you will see the revolutionary i0 web will show "Beta Key" window.
5. Extract the revolutionaryi0 file to C:\rev\
6. Make sure you connect your USB cable and put in charge mode.
Step 10:
1. Download HTC Driver from HERE. Double click and install it (no window will appear in my case, so i assume it is already install after 2-3 minutes).
2. Go to C:\rev\, double click the Revolutionary.exe in the folder (for XP) or right click>run as administrator (for Vista/ Window 7).
3. Command prompt will appear, it will automatically detects your phone serial no. (in my case HT..........).
4. In the "Beta Key" box in the Revolutionary i0 web just now, Select the model of the phone and your hboot version. In this case 1.49.0007.
5. Write the serial no. you got from command prompt and write it into the "serial no." fields, click "Generate Key".
* Please make sure the serial no. you enter are correct, there are small differences between 0 and O, i and I, l and L, U and V.
6. Type the key that appear in the web into the command prompt and hit "Enter".
7. Now sit back and relax, it will do it jobs automatically until your device achieve S-Off.
8. It will prompt you to download and install recovery image. Type Y and hit "Enter".
9. Wait until it is finished, reboot if it not reboot autmoatically.
Step 11:
If you encounter problem that you cannot charging your devices while phone off. This is due to CWM recovery version of 5.0.2.0 which have charging bug while off.
So you have to flash recovery version 4.0.1.4
How to do it:
1. Download recovery image from HERE (Credit to Monx)
2. There are two ways of flashing
1st Method
- In your roms, install Flash Image Gui
- Put the downloaded recovery image in your SD Card
- Browse and Flash em.
2nd Method
- Put the recovery image into C:\adb\ folder
- Reboot your devices to bootloader mode (power off, unplug cable, vol - and then power button)
- Plug cable until "fastboot" change to "fastboot USB".
- Open command prompt, type "cd c:\adb"
- Then type "fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img"
- Done.
Now you have s-off with CWM recovery.
CREDIT TO ALL DEV/FORUMERS WHO GAVE ME THE KNOWLEDGE.

UPDATE : 30-Jan-2012
Flashmaniac says its unnecessary to change the cid for users who cant
and u can flash any RUU using his method described below :
Flashmaniac said:
It's just like that:
instead of flashing the PGXXX.IMG you can simply flash any RUU.
Except of the branding that is on ur device. If your device is branded by vodafone you can just flash a vodafone RUU.
The number that you have to change in the mmcblk block has to be the number that the RUU has. So if you choose to flash a RUU, and the ruu number is 1.20.401.8, you change the number to 1.20.401.8. With this way you can flash any RUU no matter which Hboot Version is included.
The one and only restriction is your branding.
Step 1: Change your mmcblk0p31.img Version number to the number that your RUU has. I.E. you are on 1.207.50.8 and your ruu has 1.20.401.8 change it to that number. (how to extract etc can be taken from the OP)
Step 2: Push it back as described in the OP
Step 3: boot into bootloader and do
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Step 4: Run the RUU and Enjoy.
I did that already twice with 2 german people that have had a problem because they were not able to change their cid.
Hope you can understand my explanation.
A list of RUU's:

Also this won't work without s-off, you will get permission denied:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img
this way:
Code:
adb shell
$ or # will show (depends on if you are prerooted or not)
su
now except the request on your display.
now
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p31 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p31.img

follow the guide above and you will achieve s-off and you will be able to flash any rom or kernel
and you cant revert this process...
or maybe you can but there is a high risk of bricking
and its not worth it
it will display ***RELOCKED*** though...

google those games and you will find them
and there is a 1.24 based rom lying around here somewhere that has a zip file containing the games and the dictionary
and fyi
hboot has nothing to do with games
and you can download your shipped rom and extract the apk files for your games and push them to your phone...

Just to let you know, changing the CID does NOT work if your device has no SUPERCID or S-OFF.
But you don't even need to do that.
Just change the version number to a ruu which has the correct hboot version.
I.E a Vodafone ruu. fastboot oem lock and run the ruu
all what matters is the version number.
I did that twice already, its 100% working.
@s_superman Thank you so much for this great tutorial!
Here's my question: I already unlocked my bootloader with official htcdev.com method. So i have hboot 0018 and unlocked S-On. Can i still follow this tutorial to achieve S-Off? Are there special exceptions i have to take care of?
thank in advance
Or @Flashmaniac could you write a short tut how to achieve s-off and root with your method?

Unluckily, I could not find my device in the HTCDev site because it's Testra branded.
So Can I use your above instruction regardless my phone is not in the HTCDev supported device?
Does not work for Branded CID ie; Telstra?
Would be great if there was a solution, I would love to have s-off but tried heaps of different methods but still s-on. Cant write the new CID to the system only get CID to SD so I can modify with HEX editor and then with adb I put CID back then relock phone and place PG86IMG.zip on SD but it tells me model ID incorrect? I have checked my CID after changing it and putting back on the phone and it still reads TELST01 for the CID any ideas?
I can probs say that this didnt work for aussie branded phones as i saw this previously on other threads amd tried myself only to be confirmed by others on the aussie networks like telstra voda and optus i can live with the htc unlock tho as im flashing leedroid atm with no issues wifi inclusive. Just hoping someone else finds a way eventually to soff aussie branded.

could you explain more ??
so I can add to the OP ?
Flash img GUI works to flash the extracted boot.img from a rom or kernel boot.img.
Also supposed to flash a zimage as well but I have never tried.
Basically you need to extract the roms such as CM10 boot.img and flash it through this app then reboot to recovery and flash the cm10 rom.
Then to return to a sense rom you need to extract a boot.img from the sense rom and flash the boot.img. Then flash the whole rom in recovery. If anything happens that you can't boot a rom to use this app then fastboot is needed.
Flash img GUI is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28765269
You will need to do this if flashing cm10 or other non stock based rom and to go back to a stock based rom from a non stock based rom
Do the steps below before or after flashing the rom in recovery or you will not boot.
As kernels are starting to pop up I thought I would save some headaches. If you took the ota or on new hboot (1.15) and s-on you can't flash kernels through recovery. So try if you want but you'll most likely have to get a whole boot image and flash it via fastboot.
Didn't see this mentioned anywhere but have seen plenty of people not able to.flash kernels through recovery.
If your phone explodes or melts due to this tutorial its something you did and not me so only blame yourself.
If you are changing kernels it is a good idea to remove any CPU apps or scripts of the original setup. If not compatible settings they will cause issues. (Thanks to chriswbush)
How to flash a boot image if S-ON Dev Unlocked 1.15 HBOOT:
Download the attached adb.zip. It has the files needed to flash via fastboot. I am on XP with an X86 PC.
1.Extract zip to c:\ for ease of use.
2.Place boot.img you want to flash into the c:\adb folder.
3. Get into bootloader by power menu or press and hold the power button ONLY. This will eventually pop up the message that your phone is going to shut down in 3, 2, 1... (this is actually a simulated battery pull)
Once the screen goes black, let go of power
Press power and volume down, and in about 2-3 seconds the bootloader will appear.(courtesy if PillowMetal)
4.Connect your phone via USB and make sure your bootloader is in fastboot mode and says "FASTBOOT USB" after your connected. (HTC drivers are possibly needed but I never tried to do this pre-htc drivers installed)
5.Open command prompt by selecting run in start menu and typing
Code:
cmd
then click "OK" or by pressing windows key and R key then type
Code:
cmd
and then click "OK".
Couple of windows 7 shortcuts that can eliminate steps 5 and 6
When in the window explorerand folder you want a command prompt to be at shift-right click > open command prompt here ( thanks antp121)
On Windows 7 just open the start menu and directly type
Code:
cmd
in it or yet another further shortcut for Windows 7 that doesn't require you to "cd" to the folder. Navigate to the folder through Windows Explorer, and look at the top location/navigation bar. (Below)

Click on the bar so the text is highlighted.
Delete it, and instead put in "cmd" no quotes, and hit Enter.
(Thanks to LiquidSolstice)
6.When in command prompt type
Code:
cd c:\adb
and then press enter key. Should change to
Code:
c:\adb>
7.Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and press enter key. Should run through a couple lines and show it was written successfully.
8.Reboot phone and shazam you have a new kernel.
If you have any issues with a kernel once installed it may be due to differences in ramdisks etc. Most sense roms run off stock boot.img best I can tell.
Remember you can revers this process by flashing the boot.img from the rom's zip that your running by using the exact same process.
Good luck and happy flashing.
Constructive criticism always welcome.

Idk i never tried it. Also say u flash a rom like cm or miui that won't boot unless you use that rooms kernel. Well u would need to restore a backup and then boot up and flash the kernel then reboot and flash the rom again.
Now imagine you flashed cm or miui and oh poop... I didn't flash the kernel in that app...then u pull up this trusty how to and see oh I can just fast boot it in like 10 seconds...shazam! Your done. Easy squeezey

Is it okay to clarify something with you?
So what you're saying is if I took that OTA then htc unlocked and root with s-on. (following this HTC EVO Hacks ), I can flash a rom lets say CM10 by kushdeck by taking the boot.img from the files, flash that first using your method then go into recovery and flash the rom? Because I've been told that I can't flash cm10 unless I'm s-off and I can only flash sense base roms because they all have the same kernel. Is this correct?
Thank you

Issues:
#1 Every time I restart my phone, it goes to a session that was 2weeks ago. ie (text messages are erased and reset back to where it was two weeks ago, My pictures i've taken are gone and the ones from two weeks ago are only there.) Basically its like the phone doesn't remember anything after two weeks ago.
#3 Factory reset / Hard reset doesn't do anything. I get to the triangle with the exclamation point and push the up volume + power to get to another menu. I select wipe data/factory reset --- I get the following
#2 I can't for the life of me unlock the bootloader for HBOOT 1.93.0002 with Hasoon2000's tool
I would like to install Jelly bean on this phone.
I am BY FAR no expert, but it looks as though your bootloader is still locked. You need to submit your Token ID to HTC and they will send you a .bin file that you can use to unlock your phone's bootloader.
Again, perhaps I'm not understanding your issue correctly so I don't want to go into too much detail and steer you in the wrong direction. Hopefully one of the gurus can pop in and shed some more light on your problem.

Thanks for your input. I have my code and have tried to get this to work. It loads the unlock_bootloader.bin file but on the restart after selecting unlock it still reverts back to being in last weeks mode.

Hmmm...when you use the unlock file, does the message pop up on your screen to unlock the bootloader or not?

This is what i get when i select WIPE DATA/factory reset from recovery mode accessed through---> @ red triangle in recovery mode -----> pushing volume up + power button
When I reset my phone to factory within the phone options itself, the phone just restarts. It goes back to what i did on Aug 21st 2012. In fact every time i reset my phone it goes back to Aug 21st 2012 ----> erasing everything i've done for the day.
I can't do anything I really need help
Thanks,
I guess nobody's going to help me... Thanks

Another thing you could try (assuming that you haven't done so), is to install an ICS RUU.

I tried that it didnt work. I can't unlock my bootloader either. Thanks
Heck maybe even start with gb ruu. See if you can work from there and we get that you can't unlock your bootloader bud. so try that ruu and I'd say otherwise call htc/cell provider company cause that's goofy stuff

Thanks for your help. I've called HTC they say they can't help me because they suspect my phone has been rooted. I've even reassured them my problems are not a results of rooting but when i recieved the ICS ota
Also don't you have to be s-off ans super-cid to downgrade?
Thanks again

Try flashing the ICS ruu (Make sure it's not an OTA!) through the computer. This can be done by getting the RUU for your carrier (make sure it's an ICS one), preferrably the 531.3 version or the R2 version if you're on T-Mobile (which you are from the pictures). After you have it, rename it to PH85IMG and then put it in an accessible location.
Assuming you have fastboot drivers set up, open command prompt and make sure your phone is fully charged and is in fastboot mode.
Then type in the following commands in RED:
fastboot erase cache
(If it doesn't allow you due to an error "Remote: Not allowed", it's not a big deal)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
(Please note that the case IS important here. rebootruu WILL NOT work. It has to be rebootRUU. It will load up a screen with HTC text in silver. This is normal)
fastboot flash zip PH85IMG.zip
(Now this WILL take some time, this is why a fully charged battery is important. Oh yeah, also do NOT listen to what the green bar on the phone says, it is usually wrong. You will know it's done when it says "OKAY" and nothing more happens after that (even after 5 minutes) OR when it brings up an error, usually stated in text such as "FAILED". Whatever happens, I would like you to copy and paste the entire output, starting from fastboot erase cache, down to the very end.)
Good luck!
