Im trying to install the latest version of ICS and i have tried several times to update the firmware from here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432220) I put on the sd card, turn off phone, volume down and power... it begins to update and says, model id incorrect update fail, press power to reboot.
I had alrdy installed it once from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618) I did the 3.06. But when i first tried the latest ICS rom with that it got stuck in HTC boot loop.
I am s-off with HBOOT-1.20.0000
Anyway what can i do to resolve this issue? Ive never had any problems until now. I have tried searching for this but not much luck. I hate to of posted this but didnt know what else to do. Figured all the geniuses here could prob help me in a split second vs the hrs ive tried to figure it out on my own.
Thanks

Thanks for the help, ill try it out! If only i had admin rights on my work pc i could do it now! Anyway around that?? lol
However if ive been installing custom roms etc and been able to update to the 3.06 firmware by putting the PG58IMG.zip on the sd card and it worked fine. Wouldnt i of alrdy been supercid? How could the phone of reverted back to non supercid?
Just wanting to be sure i understand correctly. Im currently running ARHD 3.6.11.

Although i have updated and flashed many roms before.

Hi,
You are trying to flash the wrong firmware.
You need the 3.12 firmware .(just below the 3.06 firmware on the thread page)
This will give you an hboot 1.23 so that you can flash a 6.x.x ROM.
Well thats y i am confused... i had alrdy installed the 3.06 firmware (figd meant i was supercid) and had attempted to do the 3.12 (from the same thread) but its giving me the update error. I just tried it again and exact same thing happens. I believe it is an 18mb firmware file just to be sure its correct?
So far in all my searches i havent read where anyone has had this issue so thats y im confused as to y it wont work!
from your cpu edit the txt file inside of the zip add your cid and mid to the list...

Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid.....download the file, double click it (don't unzip) then open the text file and add your cid/mid to the list, save and exit, then place file on your sdcard.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

Hi guys
I have really strange problem, could you please help me out.
I am was using insert coin rom 4.4.1 and every thing was good so far,
Then i have realized that i have s- off and rooted my phone but i didn't super cid it
So i want to do that, i have supercid it by following the steps listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.
After i reboot the phone, it stayed in the flash screen (HTC screen)
I have reinstalled the rom and even other roms, but nothing was done.
I have tried to reflash it using firmwire 3.24 but samething.
FYI: i have already supercid it i have checked it by adb and it is 11111111
There is small problem, i didn't remember my proper cid, all i know it is a europe version of sensation.
i have this written in recovery session:
REVOLUTIONARY
pyramid PUT ship s off RL
boot 1.27.1110
Radio 11.21.3504.13.2
Open ADSP V02-6-0.2226.00.0104
EMMC-boot

Please help me i am lost here, DONT TELL ME THAT I HAVE DAMAGED THE PHONE!!
Thanks
Not sure if this will help
Hey I am not sure about your problem not heard of this. Maybe you need to super cid before flashing new firmware. Maybe if you can remember what your cid was before, you can change back and see if it makes any difference. maybe once returned to the stock cid you can revert firmware and then super cid. I am not sure though! I am just taking a stab at it since no one else has answered. here is a link with some firmware and it also tells stock cid's for different carriers/countries. Also maybe try flashing different firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
maybe that will refresh your memory to what yours was.
Good Luck
P.S. I think that since you still have access to recovery you will be able to resolve the issue (not hard bricked yet), just need to figure out what the problem is exactly.
Given that you still have access to your SDcard, trying flashing a new rom and firmware (go for Virtuous Inquisition).

I have already tried other roms:
Android rev-hd 3-16-13: negative result

If you wanna use ARHD 3.6.13 you need to downgrade your firmware to 3.12 or 1.17 it won't run on 3.24
I would downgrade your firmware, go to a GB rom, get it so your phone boots, then go through the process of going back to ICS.

Last time when I had major issue with my phone, I flashed couple different firmwares and different ICS and GB ROM. And somehow it worked for me. I'm just saying there's always hope. Dont give up! And good luck!
flash the latest official eu RUU, if nothing works.
You can always s-off/root then afterwards.

Nothing, most do not use fastboot commands, so don't worry about it. You are still s-off and able to flash any rom you desire.

I have downgraded my firmwire to 3.12 and i have used hd 3.16.13 GB rom.
The bad news is that nothing done yet, stucking in HTC splash screen.
But there is something i want to add, may be is the clue to this problem .
I have realized that when i remove my SD card from the phone and i want to read it in my PC, it appears protected each time and this is strange (virus effect).
may be my SD card was damaged and it is the only problem of stucking???
What do you think guys??

Perhaps you accidentally set some sort of sharing protection on the SD card, which doesn't let the phone access the adequate files? If so, try reformatting your card on fat32. And then copy back the firmware/rom and attempt flashing again.
i have already formatted the SD card, coping Rom and firmwire PG58IMG reflash the rom .
Still stuck in HTC S screen.
What about RUU?
Any suggestion ?

If your bootloader says LOCKED like you previously indicated then you can not use fastboot commands as kpjimmy already said. Because you never supercid your phone you probably have some partial firmware update.
If I were you I would flash an older RUU to get to a known stable config and then start over.
No i have changed the firmwire and it is written revolutionary in purple.

You have to remove the firmware from the card after flashing it. But to bypass it, does your phone boot once you flash the rom and then remove the sd card?
kpjimmy
when i updated the firmware hboot then the phone wrote push the power button to reboot, the problem is the phone will try to run the rom already installed in the phone, so i am forced to remove the battery and then remove the firmware from my PC.
in order to install the new rom.
i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how
Enter bootloader.
Perform superCID.
Reflash firmware, should be good to go with ics.

Hi all,
I've searched many forums for a solution to my problem but to no avail
I have flashed many roms before hand without a problem (last one installed was OnceICS 1.0.4) and as i have installed the latest release of this rom ( OnceICS 1.1.1) i was given a boot loop after.
I tried multiple roms after this such as android revolution hd and insert coin as well. all of which leave me with a boot loop.
Any solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated
try taking out your sd card from your phone then flash again. if that dont work try reformatting sd card in recovery. that always works for me when i get boot loop.
cheers mate, ill give that one a try. i'll let you know how i go.
ok well that didn't seem to work any other solutions anyone?
Did you put the new firmware on?
not sure what you mean by that mate :S would that be usually a file named PG58IMG.zip per chance?
Yep, put it on your sd card, boot into bootloader and let it do its job, then remove the file from the sd card

You need to get the app from the store (CID Getter) to get your MID/CID number, then match it up to the right one.
Yup, make sure you get the firmware with the right CID number or you're in for a world of hurt.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great.

Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself

yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.
no one seems to have a good solution to this???
i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.

I think I'm using the right terminology here, but forgive me if I'm not, I'm completely new to this.
A couple nights ago my Sensation 4G shut off mid-use and I haven't been able to get it back on. When I turn it on all I get is the HTC splash screen, and then it shuts off and turns itself back on again and continues to do this until I take the battery out.
I spent last night looking for solutions online but everyone I found with this problem had gotten it from trying to root their phone or flash a rom (again, terminology?) but I've never done this. My phone is exactly the way it was when I bought it, I've never done anything to it.
I can get into bootloader but if I go to recovery I get the boot loop again. If I go to factory reset I get the boot loop again. This morning I tried to turn it on again, got a boot loop, took the battery out to stop it and when I put the battery back in it just started up again with the boot loop without me even turning it on.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm so confused.

I spent last night looking for solutions online but everyone I found with this problem had gotten it from trying to root their phone or flash a rom (again, terminology?) but I've never done this. My phone is exactly the way it was when I bought it, I've never done anything to it.
I can get into bootloader but if I go to recovery I get the boot loop again. If I go to factory reset I get the boot loop again. This morning I tried to turn it on again, got a boot loop, took the battery out to stop it and when I put the battery back in it just started up again with the boot loop without me even turning it on.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm so confused.

Hi,
If you have never done anything to your phone ,then,take it back to the shop,and tell them.
I was really hoping there was something I could do to fix it myself as I've had the phone since November 2011 and I'm almost certain they will make me pay for a replacement/upgrade. But if it's my only option..

Hi,
Sorry, I did not realize you were out of warranty.
There are 2 possible things you could try.
The easiest is to get another battery.
The second ,if that does not work,is to run a RUU.

My apologies I should've mentioned that I was out of warranty in my original post.
Yesterday I tried a new battery in it but still no luck. I also tried my battery in another HTC and it worked fine, so that's definitely not the problem.
I've been trying to follow the guide to run a RUU but my cid is BM___001 and the only RUU available for that are 1.3.5 and 1.4.5 and I have 3.32
Is there any way around this?

Hi,
Use the 3.32 ruu,and add your cid to it(4.2 in the guide)
Do not worry when you run a ruu.
If it does not work,it will just give you an error.
It will not damage your phone.
Keep trying different ruu's and changing the cid if necessary.

Hi, I'm from the exact same region with the exact same problem. I downloaded RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed
and I tried to add my BM___001 cid in android-info.txt but when I try to save the .txt file I get the message "Archive is corrupted".
Can't I just extract the archive and compress it after?
Plus I'm wondering if I only have to add the cid, the cid and the modelid or the whole thing with the mainversion hbootpreupdate, etc.?

Hi,
Use Winrar.
Double the PG58IMG.zip you made in 4.1 of the guide.
Double click the android-info.txt
Add your cid etc.
Make sure the cid is 8 characters( bm + 3 underscores + 001 )
Then, just close it.
Do not at any point extract it...

Hi,
Try to copy the android-info.txt to your desktop.
Edit it.
Then,use the delete button in the winrar taskbar to delete the android-info.txt.
Then,use the "ADD" button to add the new android-info.txt.
Then ,you just close it and use the PG58IMG.zip as normal.

Hi
when I arrive at the step where I have to delete the file in Winrar, I'm getting the same error (The file is corrupted). I've modified some others archives that way without any trouble but it seems like the rom.zip from the RUU is protected in some way that whenever I touch the android-info.txt the message "The file is corrupted" pop up. I've tried it with 7-zip to be sure that winrar wasn't the problem and I tried it with 2 differents RUU. I've order a battery to be sure it's not the problem but i'm starting to run out of option

As you didnt modded your phone you are most probably SON that means you can't install any ruu.. Modifying the android- info.txt won't do any good as the signature checking will fail.. Thats why you are getting those errors.
. You need to find a 3.32 ruu with your cid otherwise you are out of luck..
One More thing you can try is unlocking the device using HTC-DEV and then try flashing a custom ROM. But the success rate for this probably would be less

Unfortunately 3.32 ruu are non existing in my region BM 3.32.666 since the update was only OTA. I tried unlocking with HTC-DEV and installing custom rom through 4ext recovery but the 2 roms I tried did the same: They seems to be working correctly for a few seconds then it's restarting in bootloop again, I can pass trough the initial setup fast by bashing ok to keep everything default and having seconds of normal use of the phone before it's gone in bootloop again... At least it's better than the initial bootloop on HTC white screen but still unusable. My last hope seems to be the new battery I've ordered!

Have you enabled smatflash before installing those roms?
Check "flashing Roms with son guide" by asskickar in sensation general section

Yes it's the tutorial I've followed. I've enabled smartflash just before wiping everything except sd card and flashing the rom. I would love to S-OFF with Juopunutbear (HBOOT 1.27.000) but it would need to have the phone on USB debugging wich is not possible because it's bootlooping.

Nope still stuck. I did the permanent smartflash by installing the 4ext updater in one loop then checking S-On in setting to perma smartflash. Then I wiped the miui rom and flash it again. still bootlooping after about 30-60 sec of activity. Then I tried the extra 1 step on the guide through fastboot (fasboot boot boot.img). Still not working so I did what the guide told in case of problem not solved i.e. reflashing the rom without wiping but i'm still stuck with the same problem. Do you think a new battery i've ordered could solve the problem?

Yes mostly the battery might be having a loose contact.. Have you tried putting a piece of card board to keep the battery pins tight?
