I've found a lot of threads, but I need some pointed help up here. I just got my Sensation XE and like to root this device. But after the Revolutionary tool It got S-OFF but whenever it's getting into the HBOOT it likes to update (parse) the SD ZIP.
Can someone help me out how I can get into Recovery mode without getting the update question every time I get into HBOOT?
Hello,
you simply need to remove the zip file or rename its extension.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but once you're S-OFF you have to install Rom Manager that will download and flash the ClockworkMod Recovery for you.
Hope this helps
You're right... I just found out that it was searching the zip files and deleted the file! Stupid of Me...
I'll see if I can find a nice HTC Sensation Rom for the XE.
Thnxz

I got the same problem except i got a rom i cant use with the one i just installed, i need to get into recovery to install the new rom or my phone wont boot.. How do i get around to delete/rename the .zip?
Use a card reader and a SD card adaptor to delete/rename it with your computer.
Or take the SD card out and try to boot to Hboot, once in Hboot put the SD card back in and then select recovery. You can either just flash your ROM then or use the USB mass storage mode in recovery to delete/rename the file.

I did a full wipe and i forgot to put in a CUSTOM ROM in the SD CARD..
what do I do!??! help
Don't quote me on this, but you should be able to put your SDcard in a card reader and put it on your card as PD98IMG.zip and Hboot will flash it.

Download the custom rom and place it on the sd card. Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, install custom rom.

This is true. I softbricked mine the other night pulling fonts around. Pull your sd card out and go to hboot. (you could leave it in if you DO NOT have a pd98img on your card) then reinstall after you get to recovery. As posted above you should still have your original rom on your sd card flash this if you don't have a cardreader. Good Luck!
where can I get this pd189.img
Download the ROM you want to your computer and rename it exactly to PD98IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your SDCARD. Hboot will automatically install it.

its easier to just put the rom on your sd card and boot into recovery..... Did you not make a nandroid back up? If you didn't then maybe that is something you might want to start making a habit of...
Get into recovery from hboot. There is an option in there to enable usb and you can use it like an flash drive like in android. Here are the steps.
1) boot into hboot (volume down then power button)
2) use the volume rocker to go to recovery
3) in recover scroll down to mounts and storage
4) scroll down to mount usb storage
This should allow you to view your sd card like u do in android when u select usb mode. From here you can put your rom on unmount and install. Good luck hope this helps.
i did all the step and hboot is update succesfully...but my problem is i forget to dleate the file from my sd card...i superwiped, install Android Revolution HD 5.0.1 but it takes long boot...more than 30 minutes...so i pull out battery and push volume down and end button to get into my hboot...bootloader updating once again...the option either yes or no...when push volume down to choose "no" bootloader ask me to reboot..since ive wiped everything and flashed Android Revolution HD 5.0.1 but it boot to long...how can get into my bootloader back normally?is there any solution?since i forget to dlete the PG58IMG.zip file in my sd card the bootloader keep updating and i cant go to recovery mod to restore my previouse rom...help me please... ASAP..
why don't you just take the sdcard out, put into your computer/laptop and delete that file ?
Or take out the SD, boot into hboot, then recovery and delete the file.

I'd probably go with this route. But simply using common sense.. why can't you just take out your sd card and boot up your phone? You could probably wait until the phone is ready to go when it loads up OR insert the sd again while it's on the loading screens.. can you not do that?
I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am! But I don't recall a phone requiring the sd card to boot up
Hi, i insert the SDcard in the phone in order to install HD Revolution already downloaded in it, boot into recovery choose install zip from SD then Choose Zip from SDcard and it shows me Error:Can't mount SDcard.
What did I do wrong ???
Please help i don't want to throw my first HTC in a drawer.

I would try a different SD card or use the PC to format the card and then copy the rom to the SD and try to flash again.
This right here is the main reason I tell everyone to make sure to do a few hours of research before trying to flash anything to their phone.
what will happen?thanks!
If you try boot into recovery using the key combination then it'll reflash the firmware I think.
you will be asked if you want to flash the file again.
Just say no by pressing the correct volume button.
You wont be able to get into your recovery until you delete the file. Take the card out and delete the file and you should be ok.
If you don't delete then every time when you boot in to bootloader it will ask you to flash recovery again.

Those are a lot of incomplete answers.
It will not allow you to reach the recovery or any other options in the bootloader because the bootloader will read the file and ask if you want to update, if you say no, it just reboots. If you say yes, it reflashes. The only way to get back your bootloader and recovery is to delete that file.
I had to use another phone to delete the file from my SD card as i facing continuous bootloop...
dont need second phone
take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

indeed, agree 100% with you. the adaptor is the easiest and fastest way to copy/delete that pg58img file.
if u lucky, u can get 2x card reader for £0.99 (ebay)... and sell the 2nd one (just done that )
Ceed is on the correct path, but you don't even need to go that far. If you simply take out the memory card, boot the phone, then put the memory card back in, you can delete the file using any file explorer program from the market. I prefer Root Explorer, but really anything will work. Hope that helps.
You don't have to delete it. Simple as 'adb reboot recovery'

Try installing Rom Manager and from there Flash Clockworkmod recovery.
Or using adb reboot recovery?
Can't install rom manager cuz I don't have root.
Any help please?
Copy the attached file to your SD card and flash it via HBOOT. It will flash 4EXT to your phone. Remember to delete the file once done
I LOVE YOU!
Works well, thank you.
You can lock the post.

How can i copy it to my sd card?
You need a application called es file explorer or similar and you go into downloads from the es file explorer then find the file you just downloaded and long press on it. A menu will pop up. Press move to, then it will say sd card on the top and other files in the middle. Just press ok in that menu and it should move the file from your downloads directly to your sd card . From there you can get into bootloader by pulling battery, put back in, press volume and power at the same time. Because the file is a pg58img file the device will recognize it and ask to continue update, press power for yes. Let it update. When your finished please remember to DELETE the file or the bootloader will continue to update it over and over. Hope this helps. Best wishes

The same way you'd copy music or pictures to your SD. Just make sure the zip posted above is not in any folders on your SD card.
