Sounds like you are trying to write it from fastboot. To do this, you'll need the engineering HBOOT (ENG S-OFF). If you don't have ENG HBOOT, then you'll have to use the PD98IMG.zip method. See this thread:

You do not need Eng-Off to flash a radio.

If your going to give information, at least try to make it correct and reliable.
you do not need Eng s-off, and in fact it is strongly recommended to not eng s-off your phone.

He's getting serious because radio flashing IS serious, Eng-off is very serious and dangerous, when not having to do it, why risk it. You need to go to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
Rename the file: PD98IMG.zip (if it isnt already) and run an md5check on it, then match the md5sum with the one on the thread
(If your running windows, google md5checker and download a utility)
Place on the root of your SDcard, not in a folder, run another checksum on your phone (i use hashdroid) if it matches reboot into your bootloader and wait a second or two, hit volume up if you want to flash it and let it do it's work.
Your done, ignore eng-off comments unless you want to take the risk of bricking your phone, can't get easier than checking md5sums to ensure yourself it won't brick, as long as that radio is on the thread i posted.

When i was using windows i downloaded some tiny GUI that you located the file and it ran and pasted the sum in a box. don't know what it was but it was quick, light, didn't need to be installed... Basically the next step up from command line.
Linux ftw nowadays tho... lol..
Thanks guys for all your inputs, i have successfully flashed the radio via the PD98IMG.zip method.

Alright I am a noob, I have legit looked everywhere but all I have been able to do is find noobproof rooting methods and those won't work for me!! I had an LG optimus one and I rooted it simply using the app Gingerbreak, flashed a whatchamacallit recovery thingy......and installed cyanogenmod. I forget exactly what I did. See I am really new to all this. Basically can someone tell me what is so different between rooting an optimus one and a sensation? and can someone direct me to a post that DOES have a simple way to root, or at least take the time to write one here? I would appreciate it EXTREMELY MUCH.
Thanks!

I was like you just yesterday but lost my virginity last night ( as far as rooting goes). It's super easy to do. Check on YouTube there are vids that show you step by step how to do it. I didn't want to root my sensation before cause I didn't know anything about it. But last night I just did it and my current rom ( android revolution HD 3.6.1) is beyond amazing. People who don't root have NO idea what they're missing. It's a must. Anyway you have to use the revolutionary method to get S-off. Getting S-off doesn't mean you're rooted it "just" mean you have an unlocked boot loader and you can achieve root. But yeah check the vids on YouTube just type how to s-off and root sensation and follow the exact same step. When you're all done, check on YouTube again how to flash a rom, you will b a pro in no time!
Thanks!! yeah I did root my optimus one like I said and flashed cyanogenmod but my phone stopped receiving texts as soon as I did...I thought it was the fact that I rooted it, but in fact it was cuz I didn't pay my phone bill for two months so i was afraid of rooting after that for fear that it might happen again. But yes, so,
where does busybox and superuser fit into all of this?? I recall when i rooted my optimus one superuser appeared on my phone...and I had to download busybox separately. Is busybox necessary for flashing certain roms??

You can download both from Android Apps. Sometimes when trying to download an app (eg.Titanium Backup) it will ask if you want to load busybox or superuser. It is not very difficult.

You've said flash with a t-mo stock rom to restore, this same t-mo stock rom, wouldn't happen to have smartwifi within it by chance?

I can't get over how simple rooting and flashing a custom ROM really is.
Took all of twenty minutes including downloading all the files, I'm now S-OFFed and running ARHD 3.6.1 with the recommended radio and my phone is absolutely flying - Quadrant benches of 2800+.
And as above, if I ever need to go back to stock I can either restore the backup I made when flashing the ROM, or flash a stock RUU and job done.

Right, the issue is covering ALL your traces for warranty purposes, ie if something goes wrong physically (internally) with the phone.

Read section 5 of the n00b-proof guide and you'll get everything on how to go back to 100% stock (S-ON, no root, etc)
Just a quick question. In the tutorial for flashing radio..it says to do it through the adb comments. Why? Can't we just flash in clockwork? I tried the adb method n didn't seem to work then flashing in clockwork instead seemed to changed the radio when I look in the hboot screen.
So does it work just flashing in recovery?

Hi,
Not wishing to alarm you,but flashing a radio,there is a chance of bricking.
There are 2 ways of flashing.
1.PG58IMG.zip on your sd card
2.ADB method.
1. is easier but carries a greater risk than 2.
Either way,make sure you do a MD5 checksum of your radio image.
Thx. Luckily it worked with the pmg method. But how does one check that md sum? I saw it but didn't know what I was supposed to do.

Hi,
Md5 checksum is a way of checking the integrity of a file after download.
Any bad download will soon be revealed
Google it.
There are lots of free apps available.
ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help
Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!
can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.

i have an htc evo shift 4g that originally had 2.3.4 on it. i successfully (i think) downgraded the system to 2.2. but every single time i try to flash the hboot_eng.nb0 to gain S-off the md5sum comes back different than its supposed to be. funny thing is, its perm-rooted somehow. i decided to go ahead and reboot anyway and attempt perm-root and it stuck. no brick, no errors, no nothing. its fine. but as far as i have read i need to have S-off to be able to flash custom roms.
am i correct in this assumption?
before anyone tries to point me to an hboot flashing tutorial, be aware i have looked at ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE ONE AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO A T!!!!!
any help would be absolutely appreciated
EDIT: SOLVED
ok so after thinking i did everything right (which i sorta did) i glanced through all the tutorials again and found the answer.
CREDIT GOES TO gzetski and unbrkshft AT ANDROIDFORUMS.COM
All I had to do was re-install 2.2 per gzetski's instructions. Then I followed the rooting instructions at the top of this post as if I was running 2.3.4. It was flawless. I was able to downgrade the hboot and S-OFF. The phone is now running CM7 and the owner is quite pleased.

so basically read the instructions found HERE but follow the instructions for 2.3.4

You don't have to be S-Off to flash custom ROMs... but it sure makes it easier. Go into bootloader and let us know exactly what it says at the top, there should be about 4 lines.
Re: [Q] Cannot for the life of me flash hboot on 2.2
Yup, if you're s-on you can flash roms but you have to flash the kernel seperately, which means you have to carry around a computer with you whenever you go on a flashing spree

Thats good so u wont need a goldcard, u can use a wwe/eu ruu.
Unlock ur bootloader via htcdev then flash 4ext recovery. Click the link and download, then extract the PG88IMG of 4ext recovery and flash the recovery.img.
Plenty of guides here how to do that. Let me know once thats done.
Well I have 4ext recovery well pretty much everything I can flash custom just would like s-off so where would I find these ruu because HTC dev don't have them apart from Android 4.0 which is hboot 2. Unless you mean PG88IMG is like flashing a different version of 4ext? I'm sorry for all these questions just want a clear enough picture before I attempt the downgrade and thank you for helping me hopefully this one should be my last.

Can you check CID? That will help us to choose right RUU for your phone.
When you do misc_version successfully you have to reboot in bootloader and start RUU.RUU install from bootloader.Then it will check is your misc_version is ok.
