Hello
I did a stupid thing today, when i decided to go back to stock. I thought i followed the guide to rebrand the telephone and flashed the PG58IMG.zip from there. then i rebooted and was stuck in HTC Loading Screen. i rebooted the device and tried flashing the rom.zip from Clockwork, that didnt work, i tried installing kernel, radio and the Cyanogenmod i used before flashing the PG58IMG.zip.
I used the Revolutionary version when rooting my phone the first time.
Please Help
with SuperCID you can flash everything
May be like that, but right now i can't even get into the phone and run a exe on the computer to update the phone.
I am stuck with HTC load screen, fastboot and recovery.

First of all - please some moderator move this thread to Q/A
Delete PG58IMG.zip from root of sdcard and enter in bootloader, then select fastboot.
Plug into USB and your computer will recognize phone as usual in debuging mode.
Now you can set supercid even on semi-dead phone.
How to do this -> search in this forum , there's very easy DIY tutorial
You're welcome
I will try this tonight, as i am going away soon, a big thanks to you for a fast and good answer

Are you sure your computer has the HTC drivers? Easiest way to get them is to download and install HTC Sync (even if you're not planning on using it). It will install the HTC drivers, so that your computer will recognize your phone. Your bootloader would say something like "Fastboot USB" instead of just "Fastboot" when you plug it in with the drivers at the bootloader menu.
I have tried that aswell now, installed HTC Sync drivers and went in to fastboot, still the same thing. It says Fastboot USB, but stil the computer doesn´t recognize the phone.

Does the computer make a noise when you plug it in? Or say unknown device?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Now it only says unknown device and i can´t even reach the "USB Storage" from the pc anymore when going "USB Mass Storage Device" in Clockworkmod. this i could earlier.
Seems like is solved, i tried another pc, and another version of the RUU file, unpacked the rom.zip from that one, and copied it to the phone, and now it actually is installing the system, will be back if ir solved.
Use the fastboot command for getting mid. I think it is fastboot getvar mid
Then add your mid number to the text file in PG58IMG.zip and it should work

Did not work for me. I replaced the mid as you told. After finding the zip file it said 'parsing' and then nothing happened. It just came to normal hboot screen. What should I do now? I am trying to root my sensation xe. And for that I need to flash this PG58IMG.ZIP file.
Edit 1: Seems this post will help me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22743435&postcount=917
Will try it tomorrow and reply back.
Edit 2: That post helped me and now my phone is rooted.
Same problem

I was trying to root my Nexus S
I got to bootloader, flashed rootboot.img and clockwork. Now I'm stuck on the unlocked google reboot.
When I try mounting the sdcard via usb in clockwork I can't get it to show on my comp, so I can't drop the zip files in there to update the phone. I believe that's the last step I need to get my baby working again.
If this is the case do you have any suggestions on how I can get files in there? I thought there might be a fastboot command to move the files there but I can't seem to figure it out.
If not can you please point me in the right direction
I tried searching the forums for a solution but everything I come across does not seem to help my particular needs, I apologize if I missed the solution elsewhere but I'm at wit's end right now
All suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks!
I am almost having the same issue. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed recoverymod but was unable to locate the superuser zip file so I rebooted my nexus. When I tried to start over again and fastboot I'm getting an error with CMD saying its waiting for device. On the nexus when in fastboot mode at the very bottom it says fastboot failsomething or another.
Any suggestions as to how I can get fast boot working again?!

I'm obviously no pro! but from what I gather it sounds like your phone's not being recognized. I had that problem and this guide seemed to solve it so you might find it of some help
nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-install-nexus-s-windows-usb-drivers
Thanks, it can't be a driver issue though since I was able to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Although it sure does seem like its not connecting properly.

blahhhh you jinxed me. I just realized how to use ADP, figured it was the way to push the files I needed to SD card and now I'm getting your error. I'll reply with a solution if I find one, hope you do the same! two noobs are better than one after all!!
Yikes! Please do, it's driving me insane!

Fixed it, a simple battery pull fixed my problem. Rooted it this morning!

Think you can tell me what driver you're using? When I plug my phone in I see the following in the device manager
ADB Interface
SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface
I tried your battery trick to no avail, I even had ADB running and tried the battery trick and it won't work
Also, fastboot is recognizing my device.
Any help would really be appreicated. it's day 3 with no phone now
I'm at work now till 9 and I'm in CA. Ill look it up when I get home. U have to DL the Google something or another driver in sdk. I remember 4 was at the end of it. Ill post when I get home.
Your phones not working at all?!

hi there
i'm trying to root my xperia x8 using superoneclick, ADB start OK.... waiting.... and i'm waiting more than 5 min i think.... but nothing happen...
-i've extracted/copied xrecovery into sd, phone browser but nothing happen.
- boot the phone and press "back <--" key multiple time.... but phone start as usual ...
can somebody teach me how or give link to show how to root step by step please...
i'm new here..... TT
-- sorry for english.... not my language..
yeah I just switched to the google android service 4 "something or other" not in the mindset to find it. My phone's working it's just in super retardo mode right now. All that's working is the bootloader screen and the clockwork orange screen. I've kind of abandoned all hopes of getting adb to work on it because I've tried EVERTHING (except for what will work). I'm trying to figure out how to get clockwork to work with my pc that way I can get files into the sdcard which is what I was trying to use adb for in the first place.
ps... can you send a pic of your homescreen? I miss mine
U don't need adb to transfer files to your nexus s. Make sure debugging is turned on and mount your SD. You should get a promt to transfer files to and from your device via comp. You can use cmd to transfer with fastboot. I just got home and haven't even downloaded anything for root other than free tethering so I'm not sure which app will allow screen shot capture.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I'm relatively sure debug is still on otherwise I would not have been able to do what I already did. what's the command to transfer files to sd via fastboot? I tried "push" but that did not seem to work.
Once you plug the phone in.and mount SD.windows will automatically recognize it and prompt what woulf you like to do. Just choose transfer files. Go to the file you want yo transfer and right click. Choose send to E. At least on my comp the nexus shows up as e drive so choose which one it shows up as.

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. It seems the phone's not being recognized by the computer when I mount it. The drivers show up in device manager when I boot to bootloader but then disappear when I go into clockwork. So I never get a chance to see it in "computer" when I try mounting the sdcard. Any thoughts?
Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool 0.4pre4 i have downloaded this to a folder and tryed to run it the comand window,it just flashes on and off so i cant use the file, also the exe file just shows a greyd exe not like you shoul normaly see,any help,cheers mickh
Have you dowloaded and installed the correct drivers, usb debugging checked, fastboot checked, phone connected to pc using HTC sync mode?

Errrrr, have you unpacked the archive? Not trying to say that you are stupid, just a good old "check simple things first" thing. Also, did you follow revolutionary how to?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Also, make sure your virus scanner isn't running.
I have the same problem. I tried on a different computer and at first revolutionary would go on but as soon as I installed HTC drivers it would immediately close. I tried uninstalling HTC sync but it still does it. Idk how to fastboot check I understan alot of android stuff but then my last 2 devices where a captivate and then an infuse so those were simple for root. lol I am a noob though when it comes to getting this much in depth. Any suggestions? I feel stupid asking this cause I have flashed a ton of roms in the past.
Figured it out I used the drivers that came with sync when you need to use th ones from revolutionary
any help on how to use the drivers that came with revolutionary not sync please
Just make sure you can connect via HTC sync then exit htc sync and make sure it is closed completley. give it a second and run revolutionary again
Revolution Doesnt work for me!
Hey guys i cant get Revolution to work. I'm having the same problem. Flashes and then goes off without running.
I have installed the htc drivers(from revolution site), enabled debugging, connected via htc sync(then closed it), extracted the .zip file and run the .exe.
I cant find an option to disable fastboot. I dont have a power in settings and in applications there is no option for fastboot. I'm running a t-mobile 2.2.1 android.
HELP!
Im using the revolutionary method i get my beta key.
when i run the program it type in my beta key, and it accepts it and the comes up with ''zerging root. . . this might take a minute or so. . .'' but nothing happens and it stays like this. is it supposed to boot into bootloader or something? i have usb debugging enabled. and im on htc sync mode.
Did you install USB driver on rev site? Happenned to me when I try rooting it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Shouldn't be in Sync mode, just connect it in charging mode
Ive tried what both of you have suggested but its still the same? is usb debugging supposed to be on or off?
USB Debugging = ON

Thats the guide im following and its not working. My galaxy s2 was a piece of cake to install a custom rom on
it works perfectly up to the point when i type in the beta key? which i know im doing it correctly.
it just hangs there? also when i boot into fastboot it has ***LOCKED*** at the top in pink, so does this mean i need to unlock my bootloader first?
No, it gets replaced with 'Revolutionary' once done.
Try a different USB port/PC
Just calm down and take a break, then re read the instruction. You must miss something

still no luck, and i have no idea why accept this sort of thing always happens to me ive managed to root a desire z in the past so this shouldnt be a problem on my laptop because it worked fine before?
This what comes up
We know what's coming up, that's normal. Have you tried a different USB port/PC at all?
I take it you're using Windows 7. If so, run your DOS prompt as an Administrator

Yeah windows 7 and ive tried all 3 usb ports. not sure what DOS Prompt is but im running the program as administrator anyway.
Then I suggest trying a different PC. Although, have you always tried it as Admin? Funnily enough it worked for me once I STOPPED using Administrator rights

reinstall drivers and check that when u plug it in, the pc is seeing the nexus go to device manager and see if its recognized mand doesnt have an exclamation sign, if there is one, while plugged in, reinstall the drivers

Well I hope when u say "it doesn't do anything" that u weren't expecting something to pop up on the screen. If it mounts u can only tell by clicking.... My computer then drive "___" its probably drive f or g.
If it pops up then ur good. Add the ROM & gapps.
But worse case do what the previous post suggests.
Good luck

Hello all,
i got a problem with my HTC Sensation XE.
I tried to root the device, following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
But im unable to complete the htcdev part. When I boot the device into the bootloader and chooce Fastboot, it doesnt connect to my pc. When I try adb devices, it doesnt see it. When I try this when the device is normally booted, it shows using that command.
Is this a corrupt bootloader, and can I fix this?

Have you installed htc drivers?
Also use usb 2.0 ports
And in the bootloader screen make sure it shows fastboot usb
