htcdev.com/bootloader
Unlock the bootloader there then install custom recovery to flash ROM
Also you post in the wrong section, this should have gone in the Q&A section because it is a question

As far as I know, your hboot version cannot be 1.20 when you've "revolutionary s-off'ed" (is this correct?)
Have you allready tried re-s-off'ing?

hboot 1.20 doesn't remove s-off, and hboot 1.20 can't be s-offed
RCMix ICE v1.1 doesn't have hboot 1.20 so you have obviously flashed a RUU or the new firmware did you install busybox, su, recovery, etc as required if you flashed a RUU no root no flashing new roms

I am not sure how to flash the PG58IMG.zip file, I thought I just rebooted the phone into Hboot and it asked me to do it automatically.

You just put it in the root of your sdcard and the bootloader will do the rest.
Well it will ask you to confirm

that means your missing drivers try to connect your device via USB and select HTC sync let it add your drivers then try again. In adb type "adb devices" see if your device is listed

Still wont work with HTC sync installed. HTC sync doesn't see my phone either, I tried different usb cords, turned off my virus protection. I don't know, never had this much trouble flashing roms before.

Alright, I will try a different SD card. Hopefully this works. I am doing it correct though right? Just copy that file to the SD card and reboot into Hboot and it should just prompt me to update? I don't have to do anything before transferring the file.
Thank you,
Kyle

Well i'm having issues too after flashing the firmware inc the new radio for ics roms. I can't use fastboot anymore (yes this was know), but i also can't go back to older hboot's either.
i'm getting cid errors while updating pb images. I have only 1 partition. Never had this error before with my sdcard.
This came after flashing hboot 1.20.
Any ideas to revert back to older hboot's ? RUU.exe files won't work anymore, can't flash other radio's etc...
Stuck on this for now...
Advise is very welcome.

how to do it? I am not strong in this (((if you can for more info ...

1st got to settings>power and uncheck fastboot. then power phone completely off.
Next hold vol-down and power until white htc appears.
It will go to bootloader and automatically see the PD58IMG.zip

I ROM is not installed, when you switch displays in FASTBOOT! PD58IMG.zip can not install says in red letters Fail-PU ...
in my opinion I have with HBOOT 1.20.0000 problems. because I started to install automatic ROM ICS 4.0 with the file PD58IMG.zip, there is not the end everything was installed, some written as FAIL-PU.

I've read that if you try to flash the firmware update for hboot 1.20 if you don't have supercid some files may fail to update

tell me how to update? I'm from Russia, it is very difficult to translate and communicate. I ask how you can in a simplified form.

Give us some background info. Was your phone rooted in the first place? Did you follow the path s-off then clockwokmod recovery then root then supercid? What did you do before this happened? Did you try to install the latest RUU 3.06 where hboot 1.20 comes? We are happy to help but it's not easy trying to solve something without some info
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk

phone s-off, root, super cid, it all started after trying to flash (Sensation ICS 3.06.401.1 - Rooted PG58IMG.ZIP) all the checkboxes have been installed in the firmware partition except system and even some I do not remember. After re-flashing, all the ticks became Fail-PU.

so, first, did you check the md5 checksum to see if your download wasn't corrupted? Some times I use winmd5sum portable because I don't need to install it in my computer. http://download.cnet.com/WinMd5Sum-Portable/3000-2381_4-75099291.html
You noticed that you are flashing a rom for the sensation not the sensation xe (this one is the 401.101) some differences are discussed here but is an advanced topic.
if everything is ok this is how you install a pg58img.zip using the bootloader
place pg58img.zip in sd card
turn off phone if you are not sure the phone is really off take battery out and put it back
press and keep holding VOL DOWN
press and keep holding POWER until you enter the bootloader
pg58img is automatically detected and you are asked if you want to update
after installation of all packages is finished reboot your phone
I was checking the pg58img and seems to be the RUU: the firmware update plus the rooted stock rom and the custom recovery.
although s-off and supercid are persistent and not modified with this firmware update your hboot 1.2000 is now locked and you may not be able to use fastboot commands or install some packages like radios (maybe that's happening to you when it says fail-pu)
to regain unlocked hboot you can use the tools at htcdev to unlock hboot 1.20 or you can download the hboot 1.17 onlocked from here
before you do that don't forget to delete the pg58 img that you hace in your sd card and then place this one in its place.
cheers

this is all I've done (Fail-PU) (((((

it failed when trying to flash the recovery which is custom and no stock. try flashing the firmware update only without recovery or rom. you can find it here, that's what i did first flashed the firmware only and after that a rom (android revolution 5.0.2 currently)

anyway, I was talking to some other guys and if noting works you can download a shipped RUU (there's a collection here). Run the exe file and you'll finish with a stock gingerbread system. You'll have to root and install custom recovery and the usual again. If after that you still feel like trying ICS install the firmware update only, not the one you tried.
cheers

Yet another example of someone jumping blind into something they don't understand. If you don't know how to reverse the rooting process you should not even consider rooting in the first place.
There should be some sort of test before rooting information is given out - would stop n00bs getting themselves up **** creek

[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

ok ...you have blaack screen with silver htc right ?
you need to open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder
and type

to get out of this ...you will be taken to bootloader btw

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

@Voklav
hi, i have the same issue, stock, and failed OTA
HBOT 1.27, s-off ,unable to boot and total bootloop.
however,
1. i get package from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525652
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.
7. reboot after process is finished.
it's worked for me, this zip, is from official OTA update,
and before i found that, i try to downgrade HBOOT, flash restore, but always fail (S-OFF)
hope i helped.
regards.

Ok mby. Im not in sensation so much but in desire s. Usaly this problem can be solved simple. He used htc dev . You cant use stock ruu with unlocked bootloader, it will error, it need to be relocked, and i dont know if it works or no but i know with misc_version you can trick program

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,

can't get S-OFF, would a gold card work?

kind of in a sticky spot.
have a vodafone nz z710e ... tried flashing a stock ics RUU .. and i just ended up with a htc sceen rebooting over and over ..
should have read a bit more about the intricacies of upgrading ..re cid and sw version etc
so i found a custom 2.34 and managed to flash that, so at least i can get the phone running.
i've unlocked the bootloader, and have a custome recovery on there now.
but i just can't get the reolutionary s-off app to work ... just gets stuck at the zerg boot thing ..and the same issue with the wire trick, the app hangs ..
i can adb flash stuff to the phone no problem ...
but yeh seems i'm stuck on 2.34 , 152.720.3 , hboot 1.18.000
do gold cards work on a sensation with a unlocked bootloader? maybe i could flash a stock RUU from another region ?

A gold card should work fine pal I will post back when I am home a link to a goldcard making website. just remember the smaller the sdcard the better in my opinion (size in gigabyte) , you will need to flash a "upgrade" to the phone so make sure its a software upgrade but not a Hboot upgrade (try get a WWE Rom ) and you will need to relock your bootloader again before you can run the ruu. if you find one that needs to be Downgraded just say and I will try to help you downgrade your misc partition

thanks mate ... so umm ..do i have to do anything to runn the ruu?
i mean, do i just boot up the phone with the gold card and run the ruu on my pc .... problem is if i relock the bootloader the custome rom i have currently loaded will cause the phone not to boot up, only to fastboot.
so i guess i have to find a zip version and do it via PG58IMG?
but if i do it that way do i have to flash a firmware that supports that rom first?? :/

i really think i'm screwed unless i can get s-off
is there any manual way to get s-off on a hboot 1.18.000 device via adb ...ie not using these revolution or the wire trick ...just pure adb ?

Hi,
In order to s-off you need Revolutionary for 1.18 and wire trick for 1.2x
Your problem is you unlocked via HTC DEV.
Relock .
What area are you in?
Would Asia work?

With the goldcard in the phone and your bootloader locked connect to the pc in fastboot mode and run the ruu iy should run without issue. Just make sure its a gingerbread rom your trying to flash and not a ics one and you shouldn't have any firmware issues

thanks guys ... ahh so the rru will run even if i'm in fastboot?
will try relocking and runnng.
are you guys sure a goldcard works on a sensation? have you done it yourself on a s-on device? ive read alot of comments on sites re it not working.
i'm in new zealand, cid on phone is VODAP022
the other problem is the sw version number is quite high .. 1.52.720.3 ...and having a hard time finding a GB rom with a higher version, let alone WWE

you have to be in fastboot mode
also try this ruu.exe
http://hotfile.com/dl/147926429/b26...0.14.9035.01_M_release_207653_signed.exe.html
but i doubt if it will work because your firmware is higher and on S-ON

hmm well tried creating a mmc0 based goldcard, relocked bootloader ...popped in goldcard and booted to fastboot
tried flashing stock RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.53-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-280871-signed
and it goes through upuntil updating signature ...... ERROR[131]:customer ID ERROR ...
so i guess that goldcard didn't work...i'll try making another based on mmc1 .... does any one know for sure which one it should be?
feel like i'm getting closer ....new aim is just to get back to stock ...any stock version ...

other way is to change the cid to the european unbranded one and install that ruu again
it might work
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot getvar cid (to check if cid has changed)

I'm pretty confident it will work, as long as its an update. It won't downgrade unless you have a misc partition downgrade done. If mmc1 fails then an upgrade will be needed to get ics firmware and then s-off via jupuntobear.

i think it is unecessary but you must have stock rom

ok i've having issues editing android-info.txt of any zip i extract or download.
can anyone with a stock ics zip please add VODAP022cidnum: and upload it somewhere?
i figure if i can get that, i should be fine as my hboot is 1.18.000 and my sw is 1.52.720.3 .... so any ics zip with my cid in it should work ....
