Hey GUys,
I'm not new to flashing and roms and all that jazz. Had the random stuck in bootloader that wouldn't resolve itself today (using 3.29) Loaded kaisdiagsd.nbh and flashed stock att rom. (probably should have gone right for the spl patch but I was frustrated and needed my phone) Boot loader is now v3.65
Flashed rine, reboot, same issue. Phone will now only load the stock 6.1 att rom from the micro sd. kaisdiagsd.nbh is stuck on loading as for all other roms. I can occassionally get the os to load using mtty. From there tried jumpspl and it would not connect via usb at all.
When in the stock 6.1 os I get the old unrecognized usb device in both xp and vista.
Is there anything else I can do to reflash spl? All i can think of is trying the task 2a, wiping everything and trying to flash from diag but I don't even want to try that route without something solid in place.
The phone is 2 years old, upgrading when the touch pro 2 hits att in aug sept or whenever, but I need my phone.
I have gone through many many many posts. I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to flash the SPL from the SD card? Worth a shot if not.
thanks for getting back, i have tried..multiple. It will just sit on loading as for everything except that damn att rom. i've been going at this for hours and hours. just to make sure, the spl flash will still be named KAISIMG.nbh correct? or has my frustration gotten to me
Yes but make sure you dont put the .nbh. Just kaisimg or it will be kaisimg.nbh.nbh and wont work
haha, yeap. i'm an i.t guy so i have file extensions showing by default so thats golden
I have the stock att rom up and running so the phone is functional, but that said, its the ****y att rom and I'd really like to change that asap., I'm just tired and fed up at this point really
Also for flashing SPL from SD card you need kaisdiag.nbh. Place it on the SD too. I should have told you that first. Its in my 4shared if you dont have it.
just tried it. it is stuck on the loading screen....

ok i have my mem card with my cyan's update, compatible themes and so on... however when i was showing a friend what i did he clicked nandroid backup on my phone so it replaced my original rom.
i wanted to go through regular rooting method just for the heck of it cuz i have some extra mem cards to play with and figured i can just run nandroid backup to have the cyan and one touch method phone from one memory card, then wipe and use my other roms with whatever else on on the other memory cards to switch to anything at anytime and have access to the stuff i dont have being stuck with cyan and the 1 touch method.
My problem--- on step 3 when im using sappimg.zip to flash it says Model ID incorrect! Update Fail!
i followed the instructions to a T but im thinking this may have to do with the fact that my mt3g is already rooted.... should i go back and make the goldcard again or is my problem as i suspect.... and is their a resolution????
Thanks for your help.
your gold card isnt working if it says model id incorrect. that is the precise purpose of the gold card.
if you already flashed a rooted rom you dont need to use the gold card method.
you just need to use the flash recovery program to get your modded recovery image, and from there instead of updating a rom, you need to update the SPL to one of the engineering ones found on Amon_ra's thread called Magic HBoot
good luck
Wow, thanks for the quick response. That makes perfect sense I guess I was just worrying myself. Thanks again
One-click FTW!
The one-click method is far superior and more efficient. I've used that even still for 3 of my Android devices. Otherwise, my original G1 was rooted via "old school" tactics. Downgrade, UPGRADE, downgrade, etc.
Hey guys, today i attempted to root my HTC MAGIC 32A, and install KingKlick's 2.1 Eclair with HTC Sense for Magic v1.1. The rooting went fine, and i partitioned the sd card using the recovery tool (I followed this guide and used the downloads in that: www~theunlockr~com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/) for some reason, the device wont boot, and i tried wiping and reinstalling the update rom, with no success, it just stalls at the boot screen. Now i see that i did make the mistake of not updating my radio, which is at 3.22~ something, and im not sure my sd card was CAT 6. so i dont know what to do know. I can still access the recovery root menu , and was wondering what is the next step from here, or how do i return to the stock 1.5 cupcake firmware.
Anybody's insight is greatly appreciated
BTW PLEASE REPLACE CURVY DASHES (~) IN LINK WITH .'s AS I WASNT ALOWED TO POST LINKS BECAUSE I AM NEW
Very much a noob when it comes to Android phones and I have been working through the process to get a custom Rom on my HTC Sensation. I started following the instructions in this thread [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on and successfully completed step one, achieving s-off on the phone.
In step two things went badly wrong. Following the instructions I downloaded clockwork recovery and copied the PG58IMG onto my sd card, at least I thought I did. What I now realize is that since I had been doing a lot of reading and research on this topic before attempting it for the first time I had downloaded several relevant files in advance, one of which is the PG58IMG file from this thread [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [01.03.2012 and it was this file that I put on the sd card. Obviously not what I should have flashed at all. Especially since it seems that the tool which would help me out of this mess is the one I just failed to install properly.
So the situation is that the phone loops constantly on startup when booting normally. When I boot into HBOOT with the SD card in it tries to update again and when that fails, gives no option but to reboot. If I remove the SD card then I get access to the following screen -
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot
and below the options -
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
I have tried connecting the phone to my computer at this stage but I cant get FASTBOOT USB and adb cant find any devices either. Am I completely stuffed at this point? If not, if anyone can help me out with some instructions on what to do here I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Webba
So have you tried to go into recovery once your in bootloader ? what happens then ?
If you get the correct files onto your sd card via a card reader, then put it in the phone, bootloader should attempt to update the new correct files.
I have tried going into recovery, it comes up with a pic of a phone with a green circle, followed by a phone with a red triangle, followed by going into the boot cycle. This is with the sd card removed. Am I right in thinking that if I get the right files onto the card and then run recovery with the sd card in it will work?
If you run BOOTLOADER then it should do... Make sure you remove the old PG58IMG before putting the new one on.
Thanks so much, I will try it as soon as I can. I assume I will find the right stock rom somewhere on these forums?

My Sensation was purchased in Hong Kong, after looking at the lists at shipped-roms this one - RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed.exe
seems to be most likely correct. Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm this? I would hate to flash the wrong thing again.
did you successfully get superCID ? if so i do believe that you can flash any RUU / ROM
Im not 100% on this as im still new to the sensation myself, But im sure thats the whole point in having SuperCID
Unfortunately I dont have superCID. I was following the instructions pretty slavishly and the superCID setup is one step after clockwork
Is there a way to get superCID in my phones current state? From what I am reading I need it to at least hook up to adb which it is not doing at the moment so I assume I just have to get the right onto the sdcard to have any chance of it working, right?
Yes, You need clockwork mod before SuperCID. Have you tried to re download CWM and put it on sd card ? It could have just been a bad download, it happens to us all.
Download it again, Remove the previous PG58IMG from SD Card via a card reader (if you have one) Put the new PG58IMG on SD card. Pull battery out, Put SD Card back into the phone, put battery back in and boot into bootloader (volume down + Power)
Bootloader should automatically find the PG58IMG and ask if you want to update it, Select yes and theoretically you should be fine..
EDIT: Use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=706572&d=1314848127
Yeah, I have re-downloaded CWM and made sure it is the right one I have to wait until the shops open here so I can pick up a micro sdcard reader but I will try the new CWM first, and if that fails then I will try the stock rom. Am I right in thinking that neither of this is likely to make the situation worse, even if they dont work?
No providing bootloader still works everything is fix-able..
We aint messing with bootloader so u will be ok.
Cant believe you dont have a card reader lol....
lol, up until today the only thing I needed to be able to read micro sd cards was the phone. Well, I will be better prepared next time anyway.
The thing that had me worried is that since I originally didn't realize PG58IMG was not a unique file name I am almost certain that the one on my sd card at the moment is not even CWM at all but one of the updated firmware ones I mentioned in the OP that I very stupidly mistook for it. It feels like a really serious mistake to make, but happy to know that if the boot loader is working then it should be fixable. I wasn't sure even about that.
I think the PG58IMG is a unique code that the phone reads and recognises as something to be flashed / updated.
Ive seen various things CWM / Firmwares / Updates with the same PG58IMG title. so maybe youre right and the original file you downloaded wasnt the correct one.
Dont panic, Keep calm, Ask questions, Get answers...... This is the only way to avoid a bricked phone
Yeah, you've saved me a lot of stress already. Ill be back in a few hours with the results of the next attempt. Thanks again!
Ok, the news is not great. I got hold of a micro sd adaptor so I could plug it into my computer and removed the old PG58IMG. I put the correct one (downloaded from this thread) on the sd card and rebooted the phone into HBOOT. It recognizes the file on the sd card but gets a cid fail and there is no option but to reboot which goes into the boot cycle.
Whats worse is that doing this apparently fries the sdcard. I tried it twice, because I am sucker for punishment and in both cases the sdcard is unreadable afterwards.
Maybe I should try and explain more clearly that I am now sure the PG58IMG that I first put on the card and flashed I am sure is the Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU from this thread. It appeared to successfully update before rebooting the phone into its current state, causing me to realize I had the wrong file. I dont understand enough to know exactly whats going on but it seems pretty bad. Do you think I should try a 3rd sdcard with the Shipped ROM on it or is there something else I should do at this point?
Edit - The second sd card wasn't fried after all, but I am still searching for a shipped rom that isnt in .exe format, since the phone isnt connecting to the computer by usb at all right now. Anyone know where I can find one?
Edit - Ok, now I have fastboot usb which means I can use .exe shipped roms. adb devices cant find the phone though which means I cant superCID it which means I still have to find the right ROM. Since I brought the phone from HK I am trying all the asian ones first. Anyone know specifically which file at shipped-roms.com is the right one?
You flashed firmware for ics rom, so the stock rom won't boot and you have bootloop. If you flash the 3.12 firmware ( works for both ics and gb) that will resolve the loop and you will be able to continue with the guide and flash cwm.

Hey Stringer7, do you mean this Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU available in the same thread? I will download it and give it a try.
edit - Gave it a try, I get CID incorrect from it too. Seems like CID incorrect for everything I try to flash atm.
What is your CID ??
Unfortunately I dont know. I didn't know I needed it before I started and now since the phone isn't talking to adb I cant use it to find out. All I know is that I bought the phone from Hong Kong about 6 months ago. Is there a way to check the CID with the phone the way it is now?
Hi All,
Big problem with my HTC One XL.
Ok so I had a rooted and unlocked bootloader and wanted to get the latest OTA Jellybean update. So I decided to go back to the stock RUU from Telstra.
Downloaded the RUU, flashboot oem lock and then ran the RUU.
It got stuck at the sending part.
Rebooted the phone and tried a few different things and now am stuck.
The SD card is empty. I can get into Recovery (TWRP) however when I mount the SD card in windows I cannot transfer any file to it of significant size (when I try and copy a custom rom or anything useful to the SD card it hangs for a bit and then fails).
When I try and fastboot flash recovery, boot, system or anything it gets stuck at sending and then fails with something about too many links.
I seem to be stuck and would love some suggestions on how I can get files to flash and send to my device again.
I've downloaded the unlock.bin and that flashed ok so I'm unlocked again. But still nothing will flash or be able to be copied to my SD card.
Thanks in advance.
Rick
If anyone is actually interested I found out the solution to my problem.
It was the USB cable. I couldn't believe it and was very happy when it was fixed.
Once i replaced the crappy ebay bought usb cable with the original HTC one, everything worked again. I could copy files to the SD card. I could flash recoveries and I could re-run the RUU and it all just worked.
How the USB cable made a difference I'll never know. The SD card showed up fine and could copy small files just not large ones. So it really doesn't make a lot of sense.
Interesting, glad you got it figured out in a reasonable amount of time too.
Devil's always in the little details.
