cant root my device ( issue sorted )

hi guys im having trouble tryin to root my device the pg58img image when in fast loads it up but dont ask me to update is there any other pg58img file i can use

You don't use a PG58IMG.zip to root, you use Revolutionary to get S-OFF
http://revolutionary.io/
Then you can root (or just flash a new ROM). Read this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

So I have to s off before I can do nythink basically which things would stay the same lol took me a week to figure desire and know Guna take me a few days to work sensation. Lol

Yep, S-OFF then flash a new ROM - POW!

easier said then done keep gettin this error
communication with phone unexpectdely interrupted try again
so tryin my laptop n another port argh ****ing thing

Keep running it, for some reason it happens but each time you run Revo and plug your unit in it will do the next phase. After 3 times it'll say you're already S-OFF and do you want to to flash CWM. It's not you

yh i did it 5 times and the last i noticed in fastboot my s-off sign chnaged so all sorted lol
dont sopose u know if there a free network unlock program like for the desire that alpharev made so ya eddy

As in SIM unlock? Funny you should say that - I've not tried this but was having a read last night...

LOL ok lol

NOO!! Rooted my device, tried to install latest firmware- wasnt successful- htc B.L.

i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how

Enter bootloader.
Perform superCID.
Reflash firmware, should be good to go with ics.

Take your time man, this will take longer than 15 minutes. You always have to read the information more than once so that you don't mess up your phone like you did.
Step 4 tells you how to SuperCID

Easier way - download the firmware that has your CID, kohr-ah has a thread covering all of them I believe

1. Find out your CID
2. Download firmware for your CID
3. Put firmware on your sd card
4. Flash

[Q] Trying to S-OFF with Locked Sensation XE HBOOT-1.29.0000

Hey All...
last week was my sensation xe broken, I've brought it to support to demand warranty. Today I get a new one back, I wanted to have s-off and permanent root again. I'm so used to custom firmware.
Well I found out that my new lovely phone has a HBOOT version wich i can't find @google and the bootloader is locked. I tryed to S-OFF with revelutionary, but i didn't find the correct HBOOT version at "revolutionary.io"
Mybe anyone of you should help?
The Datas are:
HTC Sensation XE
Android-Version: 4.0.3
Software-Number: 3.32.401.105
Kernel-Version: 3.0.16-gda3fdfc, [email protected]#1, SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 17 19:24:03 CST 2012
Baseband-Version: 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M
Build.Number 3.32.401.105 CL309896 release-Keys
Bootloader:
***LOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
CID: HTC_102
Does anyone of you know how to S-OFF and permanent Root this kind of HBOOT?

Same here
I have a similar situation with my "normal" sensation, having HBOOT version 1.27.0000. Any help in this area would be very much appreciated!

try juopunutbear SOFF...

also for 1.29 HBOOT...just confirmed with the JB devs ....through IRC

Wow. I've never heard of it either. Lesson learnt: Don't send your device to HTC Repair

Thanks for the adwise i gonna try this later... i'll post the results, then...
But, i'am skeptikal about to unlock the Device at HTCdev... is there any other method?
:banghead:
Yes... Of course.... But I had no other choice. It was a hardwere defect. I tried a lot to reanimate the device and then i choose that way else to throw my absolutely broken device in trash....
Thanks for the lesson
Is there anyone who tried succsesfully to S-OFF HBOOT-1.29.0000 on Sensation XE with junopunutbear?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA

try junopunutbear soff
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

me again...
so... iam on to s-off my sensation
but it didn't went well... iam trying to unlock my sensation XE z715e via htcdev
...i dont know what iam doing wrong...
When i flash the Unlock_token.bin i get the error massage:
"writing 'unlocktoken'... FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)"
... yes usb-debugging is on, faststart is off and i copied the token a hundred times and it always prouced a new token...
Should this be a problem of htcdev or maybe its caused off the hboot version off my device?
any ideas?

Same problem,but im with hboot 1.27.

I'm getting the same. From what I've discovered it's either that this 1.29 HBOOT is so new that htcdev isn't updated to affect it, or that the sensation has changed internally and this new version is no longer supported (I got a new phone so could be the case, but my bet is the new HBOOT is too new).
I've just dropped a support request via htcdev, could be worth doing the same as anything that nudges them must help a bit: http://www.htcdev.com/contact

I think the new board is the reason. I sent in my sensation because of a broken volume button and dust under the screen and they did replace the mainboard too. Completly pointless

Yesterday ganeshp told me on IRC that we should try Simon's Wildfires Utility v2 to Unlock the new HBOOT version...
I'll test it later, when i have time... I'll post the results then...
The offer to wipe my stockrom is given, if some developer is interested in an image of the new bootloader version. Maybe it's helpfull to do research of it?

Apart from that, it uses tacoroot which is patched. Plus that the whole procedure won't work in newer hboots.
Im interested to take a look at the new firmware. When you get some time, join on irc

You need to either flash boot.img separately of you need to enable smart flash in 4EXT recovery and re-flash your ROM. I recommend formatting all partitions except SD Card in 4EXT recovery before re-flashing. Also, every time you flash a ROM, you will need to flash boot.img separately or enable smart flash again before flashing. Here is the appropriate guide for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345#post25587345

malybru, I've read many of your answers to these kind of questions & the key to finding a kernel not flashed problem is " I'm HTC Dev Unlocked and after flashing XYZ custom rom my (Something) is not working"
90% of these problems are because boot.img is not flashed automatically for HTC Dev unlocked devices, because HTC believes that flashing a custom Kernel, which will allow overclocking, will cause hardware problems that they are obligated to fix. Hence, the solution that I gave above. I don't mean to put you down or anything and it's pretty clear that you know way more than I do, but I thought you probably might have missed this & so, I brought it to your attention

Thanks for your reply man!
But i flashed the 3.32 firmware with the revolutionary hboot 1.27.1100.
So i think im not htcdev unlocked, but full unlocked..
And my vibration worked with virtious last day. So today i flashed virtious again but vibrate didnt work anymore
Maybe i try stock RUU to see if vibrate will work again..
My phone is just 2 days old
Edit: and im s-off
And it doesnt vibrate 1 time at boot..

Re flash firmware. If that doesn't work, RUU. Guide in signature.

I said firmware, not ROM. Form here.

Just refladhed 3.32 firmware. All was ok. But still no vibrate..

I've had this a couple of times with my xe.
It first happened when I first bought my xe from eBay.
All I did was gently drop the phone from about half a metre off the ground and it started working again. This method was made the vibration start working for me on both occasions. I dropped it onto a carpeted floor with a rug so damage was unlikely.
I found this solution on other forums so it's not only me who has tried this.
All I will say is I'm 100% serious about this and just be careful. Obviously I'm not responsible if you're a bi heavy handed with you're phone and throw it at the floor - that is not what I'm letting you to do!

When I bought my phone I had the same problem after some time. The vibrate (surplus part of the phone just below the sim card) worked occasionally, but rarely.
I had to send the phone at HTC, they would have repaired the vibrate, everything works fine since.

Thanks everyone for helping me out man.
The thing is i dont want to miss my phone for 3 weeks haha.
I will try to drop my phone softly..

RUU is your only option then.
If it's a software issue, RUU will solve it.
If it's hardware related then you'll need to S On the phone again & send it to HTC.

Thanks ill try your method.
After i s-on again and bootloader is locked, i will run ics ruu. Is that ok?

Just saw this on latest threads. Dunno if this will help as it may be totally different on htc but search for immvibed and libImmVibeJ.so. Then set permissions on those and the folders above, to all. This solved the issue for me in the note and i tried EVERYTHING.

didnt work.. sorry

just installed GB ruu on my sensation, all fine but still not vibrating.
BUT i made it to make it S-ON again and my hboot is 1.17.
But theres no pink text saying "LOCKED" OR "RELOCKED" in my bootloader.
It doesnt show anything in pink.
My bootloader's 1st line is just PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Is it now locked and ok for warranty?? or is it supposed to say locked or relock???

It's supposed to say locked because you were on an engineering bootloader.
Re-flash RUU. Should do the trick.

i think its not supposed to say locked when on a GB rom.. i saw a vid on youtube where it wasnt sayn locked either.

I think when i flash ICS RUU that it'll say locked.
EDIT: updated to 2.3.4 and now saying locked
