1. after running RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2...exe everything went fine (able to boot to tmobile lockscreen)
2. followed guide to s-on using fastboot commands fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (step 5 )

a battery pull to restart followed up with a ***Security Warning*** above PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
4.tried to run RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2...exe but no luck
5. pulled rom.zip from RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2 found here renamed to PG58IMG.ZIP and copied to root of sd card
6. bootup using volume down + power and updated like normal. after update everything booted back fine
I am not responsible if you brick your sensation, the guide was updated because my replacement phone came with dust underneath the screen (lucky me) so I had to unroot again for warranty =)

I had the same issue with mine and I had to extract the rom.zip file from the TMOUS RU program and rename it to PG58IMG.zip and flash it through HBoot and everything came up OK.
If you look at the original thread, this method is to be used if you can't get CID to work.
The are two TMOUS RU files, I extracted the rom.zip file from the second one for my phone and it flashed the rom and everything came up perfectly. Once the phone booted up into the ROM.
I did the OTA update from HTC and is was back to the original stock ROM.

I will attempt this when i go home for lunch.. thanks for the help!
btw do you by chance still have the rom.zip... i searched regarding getting the rom.zip while RUU is unpacking and finding it in the temp folder...
but i am worried that my RUU program will not start because of the error (RUU crashing)... thoughts?
update: i found the rom.zip.. thanks!

The RUU download from the shipped ROM thread gives and error every time.
So what I did was to look it up on Google and got the correct RUU which is about 300+mb. RUU flashed correctly and then I S-ON with fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
The pain was to get the correct RUU without giving me errors.
Edit: I downloaded 1.29 RUU then updated to 1.45 then S-ON.

[RESOLVED] I bricked my Desire S

My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.

It says locked but nothin is locked. Try to flash 4ext recovery over adb. Should work I think. Instructions in general forum .
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Thanks.
i'll try and see whats going to happen.
Which update did you download? There are a couple available - odexed & deodexed.
Maybe worth trying which ever one you didn't download the first time?
Also are you giving it plenty of time to load? First boot from a fresh install always takes a long time.
Don't worry, you don't have a brick

You need to get your phone s-off using one of the methods in this part of the forum. Then you can install ext4 & new rom

HOW???
My hboot is HBOOT-2.00.0002 and the revolution to s-off is only for hboots 0.98.0000 & 0.98.0002.
Can you be more specific?
The only way that i can communicate to my DS is only via fastboot.
Can anybody help or the phone goes to the trash?? What should i do??
Waiting for stock RUU 2.10.401.4
I believe that the only way to restore the phone is to wait till the stock RUU 2.10.401.4 leak someday..
If anybody else can help me please do.

That would be a choice, but I would say you'll be better of to use xtc-clip to gain s-off, after this everything is possible or just give it back for warranty and let them repair it,
because it's still s-on, but just to know, what else where in the zip?
Could it be that you forgot something, have you tried a factory reset?

Xtc-clip works with every version on every HTC device.
Go to a second hand handy shop that also does repairs and stuff like this maybe they get one, I s-offed mine this way for €20^^
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What did you download originally?
Was it an official ota update, or from this forum?
If you tried to flash the odexed version, many users have problems with this. Can you try the deodexed version?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I was with the original shipped rom 1.47.401.4 S-ON & UNROOTED.
I downloaded via my computer http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Saga_S...1.47.401.4_release_217301kjfuq12qqm0wuhg7.zip
In that zip file there was another zip file called Firmware.zip.
I renamed the firmware.zip to pg88img.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.
I rebooted holding the volume down button and the phone went to bootloader mode found the pg88img.zip and flashed it.
After that the phone goes only to bootloader showing

Is there any way to flash the OTA via fastboot since over adb i get the message device not found..???
Do you have a "recovery" option in the fastboot menu? If so try to go to this menu and see if adb recognises it then. But you have probably tried this already, right.
With adb, when you type 'adb devices', your phone is not shown, correct?
I'm not sure about getting S-off with the new hboot, I did mine with the old hboot.
You could try to download the deodexed rom on this page and flash that, but you need to get into recovery first.
Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.
Did you try to install these fastboot drivers?
Unfortunately i have tried everything so far but didn't work.
The xtc clip maybe is the only way.. Or if the s-off solution of revolution will support in future my hboot and do it that way.
I also noticed that when i tried to flash the stock rom i had 1.47.401.4 and was stuck on the HTC logo the update software said that i had rom 11.10.401.4.!!!!!
Since i flashed the original fota why the version said 11.10.401.4 and not 2.10.401.4??
WTF IS GOING ON.??
Well, I still don't think you have a brick - you can get into the bootloader, you just need your pc to recognise it via USB.
Have you tried flashing the previous hboot version you had? To enable revolutionary s-off?
Also have a look around the general Android forums, there are some very experienced peeps there who may be able to help.

You should ask this question on the XTC phone tools forum to raskal to be 100% sure that this new version is covered (see link on the XTC in my sig)
and as @tectas has said, there is still a possibility that you are still able to return under warranty and allow them to resolve it for you..
sorry unable to assist with confidence.
EDIT: see this thread that I created a while back that contains another link within it to lots of XTC owners around the world within it, but I'd confirm that the new HBOOT is covered before you run XTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076937&highlight=xtc
I ask them. Thanks anyway.
The 3 things left.
1. to ask xtc forum if my hboot-2.00.0002 is supported.
2. to wait till revolution s-off supports in the future my hboot.
3. to wait till someone leakes the stock signed ruu 2.10.401.4
That's all unfortunately..

[Q] S-OFF & Root on Pyramid whith HBOOT 1.19 is possible?

Hi to hall.
I bought an HTC Sensation with HBOOT 1.17. I've rooted it with the Official LEAK ROM, Sense 3.5 "2.08.401.1_stock_rooted_signed-v0.3.zip" ad S-OFF it.
Unfortunately I had to follow the procedure of S-ON to send back the phone in technical assistance.
Now I have my phone with display repaired, but the assistance have upgrated my HBOOT in new version 1.19.
These are bootloader informations:

If i try the S-OFF with the revolutionary.io site it tell me tath the 1.19 is not supported.
How can i have the permanent root and the S-OFF?
Thank's and merry christmas to everybody.
can't you run RUU to reflash hboot to early version you use it to flash the revolutionary.io hboot back to stock
I'm a newbie, have you a guide or an how-to url?

UP!
Nobody knows a solution to my problem?
You could try to flash back to hboot 1.17, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Just place the file (it must be called PG58IMG.zip) on the root folder of your sd-card, triple check md5 and then boot into bootloader to flash it.
If that works use should be able to S-Off.
Edit: Here are the same instructions (it's about firmware flashing but it's the same method, my reference is also mentioned there)
Edit2: I think Madenssblade is talking about flashing back to an earlier STOCK rom, see here, you can try that if the above does not work
Thank's a lot!
A question, if i launch the downgrade, it will destroy all my data?
If you flash the new ROM, yes (but not the data on your sdcard).
If you succeed in flashing the new hboot, no.
Good luck, I don't know if this all works given your device is S-ON, but it's worth a try (your HBOOT says unlocked).
A small update.
Yesterday i installed the app 4EXT Recovery Control and i noticed with surprise that i still root; perhaps it was sleeping in the state.
I cannot yet find a guide to give the S-OFF at HBOOT 1.19 .

Hi, try to downgrade your firmware. I am not sure but it may work. Try the following.
A. Downgrading the firmware
Visit this thread. Download v1.17 firmware . Are u having superCID? If so then you can download any v1.17 firmware else choose that firmware file which includes your CID. If you are not sure about your CID follow that same thread to find it.
Flash the firmware by the following method.
1. place Firmware PG58IMG.zip (v1.17) on the root of your sdcard.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery.
5.Press power+ volume- key together.
6.Phone will boot into bootloader.
7.Follow the instruction on your phone screen.
If the firmware downgrade successfull then Perform Revolutionary method to make your device S-OFF. If this method does not work try flashing an RUU.
B. Flashing an older RUU (HBOOT 1.17 )
Find a suitable RUU from here.
If RUU Flashing fails, boot into bootloader. Then retry to flash the RUU.
Then try to follow Revolutionary method.

hello excuse the disorder but having the same problem on and hboot 1.19 s-on can not flash a stock ruu wanted to ask if you found a way to put s-off.

[Guide] Solved Problem - Error flashing RUU + Guide

Hey Guys,
My Problem:
got a little Problem with the TMO Europe RUU.
I have to go back to Stock due to a warrenty issue. Thus I wanted to do this with the above mentioned RUU.
I first was on ICS with new 3.25 firmware. So i went back to old 3.12 FW and the 1.17 HBOOT. After that I installed the ARHD 4.x.x
When I now try to update it says update from 2.0.8,... to 1.45
but when it about to Start there is this 155~159 Error which says that it is not the right RUU
My Sensation was shipped with TMO Branding thats the reason why i tried it with this RUU
I also tried some other setting like:
super cid' ed again
3.24 firmware
different RUU
...
Can someone help me please​
Solution that worked for me:
You have to be sure that you took the right RUU otherwise it's no good
Do this on your own risk ! For me it worked without any problems
start the ruu an continue till the step where it says update from X.X.xXX to your y.y.yyy
change the view of your Windows folders the way that you can see the hidden files
go to c:\User\YOURNAME\appdata\local\temp
there search in one of the last edited folders (which has to be name cryptic like :{18abb736-d55c-4fa4-a3e5-7c78512fa924} for Rom.zip
copy it to somewhere you'll find again
name it to PG58IMG.zip
put it on your sdcard
restart into bootloader and it will update to your chosen ruu

Almost exactly what I did at the time, only difference is I renamed it to PG58IMG, and not PG68IMG.

I first was on ICS with new 3.25 firmware. So i went back to old 3.12 FW and the 1.17 HBOOT. After that I installed the ARHD 4.x.x
When I now try to update it says update from 2.0.8,... to 1.45
but when it about to Start there is this 155~159 Error which says that it is not the right RUU
My Sensation was shipped with TMO Branding thats the reason why i tried it with this RUU
I also tried some other setting like:
super cid' ed again
3.24 firmware
different RUU
...
Can someone help me please​
Solution that worked for me:
You have to be sure that you took the right RUU otherwise it's no good
Do this on your own risk ! For me it worked without any problems
start the ruu an continue till the step where it says update from X.X.xXX to your y.y.yyy
change the view of your Windows folders the way that you can see the hidden files
go to c:\User\YOURNAME\appdata\local\temp
there search in one of the last edited folders (which has to be name cryptic like :{18abb736-d55c-4fa4-a3e5-7c78512fa924} for Rom.zip
copy it to somewhere you'll find again
name it to PG58IMG.zip
put it on your sdcard
restart into bootloader and it will update to your chosen ruu

and type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
to get out of this ...you will be taken to bootloader btw

(Help!) Attempted wrong firmware upgrade from 2.3.4 HTC Sensation Z710a

ok so i wanted to install the ICS on my android but it needed the 4.03 firmware but the 4.03 firmware needed a firmware from 3.x.x so i when to find one and now my device is bricked i can still flash to ROM but thats about it. i can turn it on and it just sits there with a white screen with a label saying "HTC". i have tried restoring from my ROM back ups since i got clock mod installed in the recovery menu i tried every thing i wiped every thing and when i flash or re flash a rom my HTC goes into a booting cycle. and my CID is supper cid and i remember my HBOOT being 1.18.000 but thats about it. i had stock firmware of 2.3.4
My phone had firmware with vodafone australia.
my SD card is intact but i think internal SD card is corrupted or what ever where ever the firmware gets flashed to.
and i cannot seem to find the original vodafone HTC Sensation 2.3.3 firmware so i could restore it and then update it to 2.3.4.
and i tend to get an error from:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcbllk1p2
this when i try to do factory reset from clockmod

What md5 checksum do you want to check ?? There are many utilities to check md5 checksum on computer. Run superwipe script , then install Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 , You have the correct firmware for it. I can see.
I have a same problem.
Didn't read the thread very well and I upgraded the wrong firmware.
Now, I just see the ''HTC'' logo and after that it's only rebooting over and over again. I downloaded the firmware I needed, thought I will just replace it with this ''broken'' one, but I'm getting errors all the time. And after that, again rebooting.
HTC Sensation, S-Off, first firmware was 2.3.4.
Error is: ''CID incorrect, update fail'' in HBOOT.
Only way I can stop rebooting after that message is to take out the battery.
Anyone got any other solutions except the first answer?
Thank you in advance, sorry about my bad english.
NOTE: I'm a noob at this, just wanted ICS on my phone. So, please, explain it in ''moron language''

Pull the card out and boot it into hboot mode. Then to recovery. Mount your sd card. Plug it into your computer. Delete the incorrect firmware. Find a superwipe zip. Flash Zip. Then flash correct firmware.

It looks like you have a valid version of the Firmware (HBOOT 1.27.1100). However you need to understand that that version ONLY supports ICS ROMs, so it won't support your old ROM even if you recover it. Also as usual you should SuperWipe when changing things this dramatically.
As you still seem to be able to get into Recovery try the following:
i) Download the Superwipe Script from the ARHD thread, in the Downloads bit in he first post.
ii) Download a full ICS ROM, take your pick (my preference is Virtuous Inquisition 3.5).
iii)Copy the files over to the SD-card from your PC.
iv) Delete the PG59IMG.zip from the SD-card. (ADDED IN EDIT1)
In recovery, run the Superwipe Script. Then Install the ICS ROM. The first re-boot will take a few mins.
To check MD5s just get a free MD5 checker for your PC and also get one for the phone, when it's backup up and running.

You haven't detailed what your HBOOT is at the moment, what does it say if you go into BootLoader ?
As it's mentioning CID, I assume you didn't SuperCID the phone, not an issue just get the right one for you CID from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After you update the Firmware you'll need to:
i) SuperWipe
ii) Install ICS ROM
iii) Remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD-Card.

In this thread ''[Firmware][Feb 22]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 & 3.30 Unlocked'' I downloaded ''HTC China & H3G'', version 3.30 by mistake.
HBOOT installed the PG58IMG.zip file and after that he's just rebooting.
I have T-Mobile Europe carrier but my HTC is unlocked.
Now, I don't really know what firmware to download or how to check for the right one. Also, I don't know how to SuperWipe or anything so I need someone just to write all the steps. From Wipe to ROM. I found nothing on this anywhere else and I searched all night. I'm new to Android (Have Sensation for about 2 months) so thank you for your help people! Really appreciate it.

Take out your sdcard from phone . connect the sdcard to your pc via some sdcard reader. Then delete the PG58IMG.zip from the scard. You will be fine.

Tried that, still stuck in the loop. I think half the firmware update has ran, then it has failed, so i need to roll back...
Download both the 3.30 and 3.12 FW. Open the 3.12 zip on your computer and replace just the Hboot file with the one from the 3.30 zip. Then flash the customized zip so you'll have the 3.30 fw with the 3.12 boatloader (1.23 not 1.27) and then flash a 3.30 Rom.
Some phones arent booting with the 1.27 bootloader that comes with the 3.24 and 3.30 fw.

You can superCID from fastboot. Put it in bootloader, connect USB, bootloader should say fastboot USB.
Follow sticky guide in dev forum.
Is the pg58img.zip still on your SD?

I had the same problem when I first tried to flash a rom, you just have to find the right firmware for your CID, find yours here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767, and if you don't know your CID just superCID as shown in the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7, just manually boot into bootloader.
If you want you can also see what I did on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516373

Are you s-off ? If you are S-OFF , then you need not have any file.
Just boot into bootloader.
Open a fastboot terminal in pc.
and type
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid
After this you will get a reply like this CID : 11111111
If you are not S-OFF, then first install adb and fastboot in your pc from here for windows or from here for linux and follow this guide.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.

Open cmd prompt as admin (RT click)
cd to folder with fastboot drivers (e.g. cd C:/sdk/tools)
Connect in bootloader via USB, type "fastboot devices" and you should get a response with your serial number.

By fastboot terminal I mean :
Open command prompt in windows.
CD to the directory where adb and fastboot installed ( generally platform-tools folder in the sdk).( Boot your phone into bootloader mode. and connect to pc)
Now type :
in the command prompt:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Possibly bricked my phone
Hi All,
I'm somewhat noobish. I wanted to install Cyanogenmod for my HTC Sensation 4G on T-mobile.
I achieved S-OFF, installed clockworkmod, created a back up, wiped the phone and flashed the new ROM and the google apps zip file. After I entered my gmail info, it was up and running, but with no reception. It wouldn't recognize any signal, so I figured it was something with the radio. I tried to install the PG58IMG.zip to fix it. I then went to recovery mode, and it started loading but immediately would say:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PG58DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PG58DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PG58IMG.zip]
Then it says:
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] RECOVERY
Do you want to start update?
Whether I select yes or no, it just asks to reboot, and when I do, it goes back to locking on the initial HTC screen. Any help would be much appreciated!
What happens if you remove the SD card ?

If you're S-ON you can't go back to an older version. If you're S-OFF you also need Super CID to flash an older RUU

HBOT 1.27, s-off ,unable to boot and total bootloop.

2.unzip it
3.find "firmware.zip" and rename it to PG58IMG.zip
4.copy into root of your SD-CARD
5. go to the bootloader it should flash the zip file
6. confim when asked that you want to flash.

Use lazy mode. Flash eng hboot. It can be found in here somewhere, and but you need relock bootloader before you flash ruu. Or just flash eng hboot and then flash stock ruu

Yes you helped revive my Sensation. Instructions above cured my boot loop after I applied the OTA ICS update.
Many thanks,
