if you want to flash a rom you should first get your phone s-off with revolutionairy
just download the program, let it do what it has to and then let it flash clockworkmod recovery
then you can put the .zip of your rom on your sd card and flash it with the "install zip from sdcard" option in clockworkmod

Yeah, more info please, i have no idea what you did to your phone so give details.

noob CWD mistake

Ok, I need a little help. I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0.1(ICS 4.0.3) on my HTC Sensation (T-mobile USA). I was using this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. After I got S-Off to work I began to flash CWD. I made the mistake of copying the wrong PG58IMG.zip file over. Instead of CWD it was the updated ICS firmware. Now I'm stuck with HBOOT 1.23.0000, no CWD, no root. Where should I go from here? Should I try to fix the HBOOT or try to flash CWM another way. Do I need to use ADB? Here is a pic of what I'm working with.

Hi,
You could try to get hboot 1.17 HERE back on your phone.
Then try to finish the s-off process.
so how would I get HBOOT 1.17.0000 back on my phone since I get an error every time I try to flash it through a PG58IMG.zip file? Any links to tutorials I missed?

Hi,
Place the 1.17 PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader.
Make sure you do a MD5 checksum of the zip(google it)
Power down the phone,or remove the battery.
Power on holding down volume - and power button.
Let the update go through.
When it finishes,go back in to ROM and delete the PG58IMG.zip.
If you cannot get into ROM,remove the card and use card reader in PC.
You should then be able to carry on "Revolutionary".
Ooo you should be s-off still even after your did IMG.zip
if you completed the s-off before the you flashed the ICS then your s-off should still be there it wont show but its there, if you can try then IMG.zip that has the hboot 1.17

I did that. I'm not that much a noob. That is the problem I was asking in the first place. I cannot update that way. It says "Update Fail" on the screen. Also, the phone is S-OFF, didn't even flash the rom yet. Thanks for your help so far.
Ok I see the picture cause its saying incorrect phone model there is a pdimg.zip that will put your cid to 11111 once that done you should be able to.use and pdimg.zip
Ok, so where would I find that?
Ok, I had to use HTC dev tools to unlock bootloader, then use adb tools to ensure cid was 11111111. Then flashed bootloader back to 1.17.0000. Thanks for the guidance. Was more rewarding to figure somethings out instead of being guided through every step.
It is not mentioned in the firmware topic, but it seems important to do SuperCID before flashing the new firmware in case of problems. I've seen this problem elsewhere on this forum.
But it's nice to know that there is still a solution even if you do not have SuperCID.

Seems you installed an ICS firmware but probably you have a GB rom this is why it bootloops.
What rom you were trying to flash?
Did you install a custom recovery first? (like CWM or 4ext?)
First: delete PG58IMG.zip from sd card
second: reboot in bootloader and go to recovery (hope you have installed a custom recovery).
Then, from recovery flash the rom (assuming is an ICS rom and you put in the root of your sd card already).
Hope it helps.

+1. Also download SuperWipe from the ARHD thread and run it before installing your new shiny ICS ROM.

Hi kualmente.
I was trying to flash Revolution HD. I was doing step 2 to install the recovery, and i forgot where i downloaded the file with the name PG58IMG.zip, which is the ICS rom.
I didn't installed any recovery, because it was the recovery that i tried to installed then this issue came out. I tried to select recovery from the bootloader with or without the sd card, all i got is a red exclamation mark......
I think i'm in deep shi t......... please help me
You need to flash custom recovery first. All flashable zips from bootloader are called PG58IMG. So chose the right one and do not forget where you downloaded.
The exclamation mark means you are on stock recovery. No worries.
Re-download the custom recovery and put on root of sd card (means not into a folder).
Download CWM recovery from HERE
Then:
1) Reboot while pressing vol down + power button. It will install recovery.
2) Delete PG58IMG from sd card.
3) Reboot again (like point 1)
4) go to recovery, scroll down untill you find superwipe(wathevername.zip)
5) go back
6) again install from sd card - chose zip from sd card. This time chose the rom (wathevername.zip).
Remember to use Vol -/+ to scroll and power button to select.
Last but not least, be patient and wait untill the entire process is completed and prompted to reboot system.
Hit thanks button if it helped!

No need to go back to an RUU, potentially a big risk.
As an earlier post said get ClockworkMod (CWM) and install it. Then Superwipe then install your ICS ROM of choice
As stated all the bootloader flashable images are called "PG58IMG.zip". So the recovery and F/W will both be called that when you install them through bootloader. Hence it's a VERY good idea to clean up afterwards. When ever I download a PG58IMG.zip I rename it, e.g. to cwm-5.0.2.0-PG58IMG.zip, of course they have to be renamed to the correct name to flash them. This means I can easily keep track of the dammed files in case I need to use them again.

How can i root my phone?
Can any1 help me? I really want to root my phone, but i cant flash any recovery. What i have to do? flash a eng-hboot?
i for one, don't understand how you got s-off with that hboot
I think you aren't really s-off.
Try to downgrade then root, that may be one of your solutions
Before all this, my phone was rooted, i dont know how, it was:
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-38.03.00.03_M
eMMC-boot
Then i flashed a RUU, to back to stock, now i got this:
***** LOCKED ******
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I dont know what i have to do to root it again
If you flashed a RUU you are certainly S-ON and not rooted.
Try to downgrade but don't use the Htcdev method
According to Jack_R1 in this post i just need to flash this zip file, or am i wrong?
Can this .zip file work?
I don t think so.
In the index you have two methods to downgrade without using the Htcdev method.
After you downgraded you can obtain root S-OFF and flash what you want.
All the info required is in the index and in another 1000+ related topics.
Good luck!
You have S-OFF even after flashing RUU, and you have SuperCID (CID=11111111). This can mean only one thing - your phone was unlocked with XTC-Clip.
So, you're permanently S-OFF, and can flash anything you want from HBOOT (using PG88IMG.ZIP) - but NOT from FASTBOOT. To be able to fastboot flash something, you have to have re-engineered bootloader - but you don't have it, since you flashed stock RUU.
So, you can use the PG88IMG.ZIP that contains Eng HBOOT, the one you've found. It'll allow you to fastboot flash whatever you want.

It seems that you are one of the few lucky guys that have Stock S-OFF. The second picture is your Stock Recovery (if you press Volume Up + Power you will enter the menu)
To flash a custom ROM you need to flash a custom recovery - there is a link to an image in OP of the 4EXT Recovery thread.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path}\recovery.img
Then copy the ROM to your SDcard, go to recovery, full wipe and flash it

In the last step you go in recovery chose full wipe (except sdcard) and after that install zip and chose the ROM that you already copied to the sdcard. Then reboot and that's it

You can't fastboot flash without having eng (or unlocked) bootloader.
With your level of (not) understanding, I highly suggest you to leave your phone alone and read. If you feel like it's too complicated - read more, until you understand. If you don't understand - don't touch your phone, I'm sure it's good enough as it is.

Second question is about rooting. I got the phone S-Off out of the box.

I want to root it but i'm not sure can i simply install recovery and root it, or unlock the hboot first... or something else...
Oh yeah, one more thing. Every time i restart my phone i get the message ANDROID IS UPGRADING and optimizing applications.. What's that about?
Thank you very much!
P.S.
I'm not a total noob, played with HD2 and desire HD in the past with no problems..

Hi,
In terms of the storage,I have seen this before,and it is just a "quirk" of ICS.
It is just what is in the build.prop
You are lucky,indeed,to find s-off straight out of the box.
Check my signature (☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺)
Look for the guide by ganesh for the rooting.
Look for the guide by joaquinf for the installation of the custom recovery, 4EXT.
Android upgrading will occur every time you clear cache and dalvik,when you reboot.
Nothing to worry about.
Thank you for your reply.
Only thing that concerns me is my hboot version (1.27.0000) as all guides talk about 1.18 or lower...

Hi,
Have a look at the list I gave you.
#2 from ganesh deals with your hboot.
#12 from joaquinf will guide you through the 4 EXT recovery installation.
Thank you for your time. I'll give it a shot!
I did it. Phone is rooted, installed ARHD rom.
I did not flash their firmware, bootloader is still *LOCKED*... what should i do? Should i ulnock it? How to unlock it? HTCdev?
Also, i can't flash touch recovery. I installed regular one via rom manager from google play..

Hi,
If you are s-off,you do not need to involve HTC at all.
The locked means you are restricted when you want to use fastboot commands.
Try using HASSOON'S TOOL to install 4EXT.
Stay away from Rom Manager.
It is not a very good tool.
EDIT:
Actually,if you installed ARHD,then,you will have 4EXT,as it gets installed on first boot.
You can go to market and upgrade it.
It is not expensive,and it helps the developer.
I just tried that tool. It takes me to htcdev to get unlock token.. but htcdev is out of order at the moment...
I will try again tonight...

Hi,
As ganesh says,do not use HTC.
Check your recovery.
Like I said,if you installed ARHD,you should have 4EXT,as it is included in the package.
ok if you want unlocked hboot/eng-hboot ..just do these steps one by one from fastboot
1.get the controlbear ics folder from here
2.extract the zip and go to that folder
3.open command prompt there (if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
4.and then type controlbear -i
thats all ..it will install juopunutbear hboot aka unlocked hboot
Thank you both very much! Everything worked! juopunutbear hboot, 4ext, cid, root, custom rom! All is good.
Unfortunately, i can not make a donation or buy anything because i live in one messed up country...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!

Firstly, never ever flash an RUU on an s-off phone again.
Does fastboot work? Somehow you'll have to install a recovery again (previous was overwritten by RUU) if possible
