Hi Umar,

While tryin revolutionary method...what did the BETA key start from??

It will most probably be an I(i) instead of an l(L)...try the method again and let me know how it goes.

I think the unlocked boatloader might be giving you problems. You might need to revert that to stock. Don't ask me how, I've no idea.

Try copying and pasting the Revolutionary beta key. Typing often doesn't work (I guess 1/I confusions or similar). Had the same when I tested it.

If you still have hboot 1.02 then Revolutionary is the way to go. If you do the software update that's part of the HTC unlock for this device your hboot will change and Revolutionary will no longer work (and conversely unless you do that the HTC version won't). Revolutionary gives you more options, so is preferred (ie Revolutionary gives you S-Off, HTC unlock does not and will stop you getting it, though you can still root after the HTC unlock).
