Hello,
I'm really hoping you can help me out, for I have got myself into a bit of a pickle.
I have been eagerly awaiting ICS, and downloaded mrT69's PG58IMG.zip ics.
Now my phone is stuck in a loop of booting, I'll hear the music start up and quietly brilliant screen and it just keeps repeating. I've tried a system recovery from the hboot menu no dice, I've tried recopying pg58img.zip and receive an error wrong CID or similar, I'm a total plonker for bothering and now i'm just desperate to simply get my phone back working.
Anyway help would be great,
The details I got from my phone are
HBOOT 1.27 000
10.14.9035 01 M
Jan 13 2012 17:33
* My phone is totally stock, this was the first thing I've attempted on it, and will be my last.
Please oh please help you're my only hope.
Cheers
What software version were you on before attempting all this? This is the most important thing to know before you try anything as it helps you find the RUU for you phone
Thanks for your reply,
Is there an easy way to find out what software?, I backed up my sdcard, if the info is stored, but it was the latest gingerbread I think, totally stock and the phone is a white sensation from asia, z710e I beleive, as you can tell I'm pretty hopeless with this stuff.
If you have done the flash please reboot to RECOVERY and WIPE the CACHE partition. After this reboot again to RECOVERY and you will see that everything is on ext4.
I'm working on a solution but I can't provide this at the moment to cover this problem during the flash process.
I would try this if you haven't already!!

When I select Recovery, I get the green circle arrow icon then a red triangle with exclamation mark, and nothing else.
*** I've now read up and now know that's normal, I've cleared the cache, same looping.

Repeating means rebooting ?
Your device was S-OFF?
It happened to me as well (or something like that) when installing a theme not suitable for GB, i am not going to tell you that i have the right solution but here what i did (and it worked!!) to recover my Sensation:
Look for and store in you sdcard:
- PG58IMG.zip (i add the file, it converts HBOOT version into 1.17.000)
- ROM Real_Stock_Experience (can give you dropbox link to download when you do not find it, it is 354MB)
Flash HBOOT 1.17.0000 from Recovery (when your device enters in HBOOT should ask you to appy update automaticly) and after that flash that ROM (it is a zip file), device shuold start normally, after that you can flash latest RUU.
Hope it helps.

That is probably because you have got an Asian ROM, i can only suggest you to make your device SuperCid (11111111), that will allow you to flash it. Look in ROM forum to find out how, now i remember i also had to do it, done it with device in HBOOT and connected to PC via USB, you need to enter certain commands in DOS.
Rgds,
well, I've tried for the last hour or so to get it going, and no luck, I'm more than likely going to throw the phone into the wall, at least I'll have some satisfaction.
i've tried using adb and adb devices in cmd, but it won't find the device, It also was a major pain to get the drivers to work, it seems to have but it doesn't want to cooperate, also it's mentioned to enable usd debugging, how on earth do I do this when the phone won't even boot?, I'm really running out of patience with the damn thing,
I reliase a solution could be changing to superCID and installing that fix, but I can't even get the phone to be recognized in windows to change it?
so I'll try and provide more info, it's an Unbranded white sensation from Hong Kong, I simply want to get it back again, can I find a firmware that is for the cid and flash it to accept?,
I just don't know what to do now, certainly didn't think this would be my evening tonight, lesson learnt,
It only uses adb when the phone is booted, so that won't work
Go into HBOOT and let us know what it says above 1.27.0000

Well I took a big punt and downloaded a ship rom i didn't know what ara meant but do now, my phone has turned a little middle eastern but I easily changed to english, which I remembered I had to do for my phone when I first purchased.
I made sure to get the same radio version, and have tested wifi and receiving calls, so as far as I can tell it functions again.
A very stressful evening,

Which one did you download?
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.45.415.5_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220005_signed
is the one I got, interesting enough, I tried the asian one afterwards and got a cannot update error, have tested phone and still works, so it didn't do anything but I must had some luck to download one that the phone liked.
Use 1.50.401.1 (latest unbranded EU RUU)
Fixing boot loop issue after "Incorrect CID" error
Thanks to "xl VipeR lx" for the SuperCID guide and Joaquinf's guide on How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware.
Okay. Here's a step-by-step guide to fixing this boot loop if you're in a confused state:
The issue is due to problems with your CID, which means we'll have to fix that. First, plug your SD card into the computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip file from your root, then put the SD card back into the phone and keep it turned off.
1) Download the ADB tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=672540&stc=1&d=1312138079
2) Make a folder named "adb" on your C:\ drive, and unzip the file into this folder (the path should look like this: C:\adb)
3) Open command prompt and type: cd c:\adb (keep command prompt open)
4) Reboot the phone into fastboot and then connect it to your PC
(in a second, your fastboot screen should show "fastboot USB")
5) Enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" in command prompt
6) Enter the command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
7) Enter the command "fastboot getvar cid" (make sure your CID is now 11111111)
8) Enter the command "fastboot reboot"
9) Turn off your phone, put the SD back in your PC and copy the v3.32 PG58IMG.zip back onto the root, then reinsert it into the phone.
10) Reboot back to fastboot and the firmware should now install without error.
11) Now you need to plug the SD back in the PC and delete the PG58IMG.zip from your root, then reinsert it into the phone again.
11) Finally, boot back into fastboot and you could now go on to Superwipe and then install your ICS ROM as you'd originally intended.
you have to install htc sync to use adb commands
Alot of the guides floating around showing how to flash back to stock rom is incomplete ( missing a few steps ) and will result in boot loop most of the time. the correct procedure is :
Part 1 : Setting up Fastboot.
1. Make sure you have java installed, if not get it from here : http://java.com/ and install it.
2. Download the Android SDK manager from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ( get the exe download )
3. Install SDK manager, then run the android SDK manager.
4. Once launched it will show you available updates, choose ONLY these two "Android SDK Platform Tools and Android SDK Tools" and update them.
5. After update is complete close the sdk manager and go to the SDK manager platform-tools folder, normal path is : ( C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
6. Copy the following 3 files from this folder : "adb.exe" , "AdbWinApi.dll" and "fastboot.exe"
7. go to your c drive ( c:\ ) and make a new directory called "fastboottools"
8. copy the 3 files above into your fastboottools folder.
9. so now your should have a folder like this : "c:\Fastboottools" with the following 3 files in it "adb.exe" , "AdbWinApi.dll" and "fastboot.exe".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is it, Fastboot tools is setup. Proceed to next guide.
Part 2 : Flashing guide.
1. download the ROM from here:
ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2_radio_47.23.35. 3033h_7.51.35.19_release_228383_signed.zip
or here ( mirror link ) : ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2_radio_47.23.35.3033h_7.51.35.19_release_228383_signed.zip
2. Extract and copy the system.img AND boot.img to the same directory as your fastboot tools "C:/fastboottools" ( make sure to copy both files )
3. Enter the fastboot mode on your phone by pressing volume down + power button after the device has been turned off.
4. Choose fastboot on the phone by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
5. Using fastboot tools, open the Command prompt and navigate to "C:\fastboottools" then run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash system system.img"
6. Dont reboot, Using fastboot tools, run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
( The two commands in step 5 and 6 are different, make sure to type each one correctly and to do them straight after each other )
7. Reboot phone. let it boot up, you will still get bootloop or error message.
8. Take out the battery.
9. Boot back into bootloader ( Volume down + power ).
10. Now choose recovery.
11. Phone should now reboot itself and bam, all should now work fine.

after trying EVERYTHING else, this is the method that worked for me, i tried to cover every step possible ( alot of the other guides skipped few steps and that is where i got problems ).
hope this helps.
( PLEASE BE AWARE : This will remove recovery and root. if you flash back to stock rom using this method you will have to root your phone again. It will still be unlocked, just recovery and root will be removed. to re add recovery and root check part 3 below. )
Part 3 : Add recovery and root access back after installing stock rom.
1. Download the following 2 files, you will need them :
PH06IMG.zip
su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
2. Extract PH06img.zip to your "c:\fastboottools" directory. it will add the "recovery.img" file to fastboot.
3. Copy the file su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip to your phones SD card, dont change the name, keep it standard, just put it in the root directory of your SD card.
4. go to the settings on your phone "Settings -> Power -> and Uncheck Fast boot" ( This is important, make sure fastboot is unchecked.
5. Take out your battery, put battery back in and boot into bootloader ( hold down volumedown + power )
6. Choose fastboot on the phone by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
7. Go to the Fastboottools directory "c:\fastboottools", Hold CTRL+Shift and right click in that Folder and open Command Prompt.
8. type inside command prompt : "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and let it finnish, takes less than a minute.
9. reboot your phone, but reboot it back into bootloader ( hold down volumedown + power )
10. Now using volume keys choose "recovery" and press "enter" ( not power button, rather use enter button in recovery else you sometimes get a "hat like" picture on the screen )you should now see the recovery options.
11. find the "install zipd from sd card" option and press enter, then choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip and confirm to flash it.
12. once flashed reboot the phone and you will now have recovery and root access back again.

it is recommended you update superuser to newer version and also install busybox.
Now that you have recovery installed you can also flash custom roms again.
I STRONLGY recommend once you reach this step that you make a backup of your rom via the bootloader recovery menu, that way you dont have to go through all this pain again next time.
The End !!!

stuck on bootloop at step 10
I've attempted the recovery and get as far as step 10, but unfortunately
"still suffer the bootloop.
what am I supposed to do in the recovery step to get it working fine!
do i load the update.zip?
please reply if availale... am stuck on bootloop
ty
bootloop ussualy happens when you dont clear your cache properly before flashing.
Make sure to clear ALL cache, and also make sure to follow the steps exactly as they are posted, even if it looks like you can skip a step DON'T. do each step as posted, and clear all cache when you are told to. then you wont get boot loops.
Hi,
I bought HTC chacha locally at a online retailer. Its not tied to any sim/operator. However I am stuck at android version 2.3.3. (firmware version 1.20.720.1). If I try to run the (ota)software update, the phone says no updates available.
I really need to unlock the boot loader. However if I try the htcdev.com, the RUU utility says that the please update to 1.57.XX and then try unlocking the bootloader. I am really stuck here.
My question is can I try the steps mentioned above in this post to get the firmware update, with a locked bootloader?
Any other suggestions to update my firmware to the latest 1.57.XX?
--Thanks in Advance..
htc status restore factory 2.3.3
No, I didn't make a real backup! I thought titanium backup would cover that, it didn't, so I have no backup of the stock stuff.
I have a HTC Status (aka chacha) US ver with att. I unlocked the boot loader by htc's site, worked fine. Then I rooted it with cmw, worked great.
Recently the ota 2.3.5 update (48mb) became available. I downloaded it and tried to install it, it failed with checksum. I know it is the cmw mod. How can I get the stock load 2.3.3 back onto my htc status? The above directions mention the "asia" load. Are the files mentioned generic for all phones with the exception of the cid?
p.s. It would be great if someone out there had the stock 2.3.3 recovery file for the status! That would be easier to load than the sdk stuff.
update : both ruu files listed above show to be corrupt when unzipping.
Update: I installed a newer zip utility than the stock win xp one and it unzipped without any trouble. Moving on to the next step.
Update: all went well, except the "english" option, I chose english singapore. Installed cwm and rooted again. updated to 2.3.5. Thanks for the info above.
thank you!

A new ota update was available (1.57.707.3) but it won't install, it says the current rom seems to be altered and it refuses to install. So I went to htc.com/support and found the status page and downloaded the latest installer for 2.14.502.2 rom image. It fails with "security fail" under ruu in the phones bootloader screen.
The installer on the pc say's I must get the correct rom installer for my phone. I think it might have something to do with the asia chacha system and boot.img 2.3.3 stuff I installed.
Current software is android 2.3.5 and software 1.57.707.2
Is there anyway to get rid of cwm or force the new rom to install over the old?
Thanks man
Tried and made it

You need the stock rom for the update to work. But frankly, I did not see any improvement. Battery life sucks.

I have S-OFF but it seems like every Clockwork Recovery that I download doesn't work. If I do it through the PC on Fastboot, it says "Can't load IMG." and if I try to load it through through the Bootloader on the Phone, it says "Wrong image". Plus there are so many recovery images floating around, I have no idea which is the right one.
Try following instructions. Works every time for me.

You could try EXT instead. Part I to install the recovery. Part I & Part II to install EXT & 3.32 firmware.
PART I: Flashing 4EXT recovery touch
To dowload and install the newest version of 4ext recovery TOUCH (v1.0.0.5 RC3). Use one of the following methods provided:
Third method: Download this file, check the MD5 of the zip and install it following the steps 4 and 5 from post#1 in this thread.
NOTE: File used in third method WILL NOT install the needed 3.32 firmware in any way, only contains the recovery.img to flash 4ext recovery touch.
PART II: Updating the firmware
This step is MANDATORY otherwise your ROM will not boot.
After updating the firmware you will have the 3.32 firmware with unlocked bootloader. Which basically means that you can use advanced fastboot commands, such as: flash new radios and splashscreens
Download compatible firmware from here.
Copy the PG58IMG.zip file you've downloaded to the root of the sdcard. Root of the sd card mean that you can't put the file inside any folder. Also, you can't rename the file. Please keep the PG58IMG otherwise the bootloader won't recognize it.
Power off your phone or remove the batt and put it back again.
Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
Wait for the firmware package to be found and confirm to update as prompted
Once it completed successfully and prompted you to reboot, pull the battery out.
Connect your SD card to the PC and remove the PG58IMG.zip file.

Hi,
i came to the screen install form zip on sdcard
but then it starts installation
and shows : installation aborted
now i cant start the phone i always get tothis screen
with the red text this build is for ....
what can i do?
edit: now i am again there where i can install zip from sdcard, but now it doesnt recognize the sdcard. What can I do, because i the phoen does not take a microsdcard where I could put a new rom.
how can i get access to the internela storage now wihtour a os?
How did this happen ? Selecting a ROM to flash in recovery cant really cause so much damage if it fails. They usually fail because of a md5 mismatch or something.
try to mount the sd card and you can use adb to push files to it..
you could also try a full wipe..
I did several things. I rooted and unlocked the device
and now it does not boot.
Everytime I tired to flash leedroid or stock rom with choosing install form zip
installation get aborted.
I am only able to get into the boolloader and into the recovery.
how can i restore the phone?
wipe and recovery is not possible i always end in this screen
with the red text.
edit: i think i try to get into booloader and copy another file version with adb to the sd card and hope it was a download error.
but why the hell then did both the leedroid 'AND the stock rom fail?
did you flash the boot.img BEFORE flashing leedroids ROM ??
If not i suggest trying that, If that fails, Just run an RUU and start from the beginning
Thanks for the Idea,
my problem is that i cant get access to the memory wihtout a working rom
on it And now i also dont get into the recovery CWMS.
I thouzhg power+vol up would do it but it doesnt work
I think i destroyed my brand new phone.
but thanks for helping.
It's not broken.
Try Power + Vol. down. Possibly you need to retry this several times to get into the bootloader.
its not destroyed dont worry..
Run an RUU and all will be good again. Whats your CID ?
That is the problem I cannot put up software on the device
so how should i run a ruu?
Where can i get the CID from wihtout starting the phone?
I hope you have a trick how I can save the device.

You run it from your Windows desktop. Download your appropriate RUU here for example (as it takes a loooooong time).
Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
Double Click the RUU-file.
Answer the Questions and the update will start.
Remember: Your device will be reset to factory default and your data on sd card will be gone so.
Edit: You will still have to start it with power + vol. down buttons pressed (as far as I remember).

To get into the bootloader try this.
Press and hold volume down, then power. Hold both down together for 5 secs, let go of the power button then press the power button several times. This always works for me.
If this works then your phone is easy to fix.
Maybe you could try to reflash the boot.img from leedroid via fastboot.
Then flash a proper recovery.img via fastboot (I use clockworkmod)
As I heard you could then push the rom.zip via Adb the sdcard while in recovery. Last step would be install zip from sdcard.

Have you installed supersu via install ZIP from sdcard? I think this needs go be installed before installing the Rom. I Don't Know it exactly. But like this it worked for me when coming from stock rom. Thats how it worked for me:
1. Unlock bootloader via HTCDev
2. flash recovery image via fastboot
3. Install SuperSU from zipfile in recovery
4. Flash boot.img from Leedroid
5. Install Leedroid from sdcard
So maybe you missed one of the steps.

to get CID go into fastboot and type in cmd window ''fastboot getvar cid''
If your phone is branded, you will need that branded RUU, So i assume you will need o2 Germany RUU
Reflash recovery in fastboot, should give you access to sdcard back.

i did the same thing to my one s yesterday... followed all the steps for leedroid n got same frustration u have...
theres a nandroid file in the dev section... fastboot the boot.img and the recovery.img
ya phone WILL boot back up
ok guys ty for cheeering me up.
i wil try it with a ruu, where can i find a ruu for my htc one s.
the link in the previuos post ist offline.
i think it was 1.78.407.x when i looked the last time in my handy.
thanks
so my cid is
C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe getvar cid
cid: O2___102
finished. total time: 0.003s
Like i said it is a O2 i hope this helps finding the ruu
well check the Shipped ROM thread.. If its not there you can ask the OP Football if he has it or can get it..
Some RUU's cost $13 so if you know someone else who wants it, you could split the cost ?
so far, now am in the recovery flash but it is the same
count mount /sdcard
how can i put a file onto the sdcard when i have no access?
partionoing sdcard doesn't help
i was looking for this boot.img and recovery.img which was posted before
i dont find it can someone link me to it if he knows what was meant?
thanks
edit: i was desperate and tried:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
but the second order was not successful
ist there another way to fix this usb brick
and to get access to /sdcard
new edit: now i write also in the help thread (noob friendly) i hope that is ok.

I flashed a custom rom first which was not recognizing sim and wifi so i went back to the previous stock rom via TWRP.
everything was well and all until i decided to wipe data and ended up not even recovering the rom first
so it's now stuck in boot logo,cant even go to the bootloader,
the phone doesn't turnoff, i tried doing every combination possible,
vol+power for 10 sec restarts the phone back to logo
vol-power does nothing.
I am kinda new to android,always been an iOS user, please help
You shouldn't new if already playing with rom on Android...?
Flash stock rom with TWRP mean modified stock rom. Origin stock rom only possible to flash using stock recovery. Sorry doesn't help.. ?
Try combination Vol down + power button for 10sec or more until goes to Bootloader.

Try this Magic Way.
It was very helping for me
When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up.

you can find all you need here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/htc-one-e8-mid-cid-ruu-ota-twrp-t2903210
you have to know your phone type an than you can download the correct RUU.
when you run the ruu on pc (it's a normal exe file) the wizard guide you to flash it...
save all your data and media first... the process delete everything on your internal sd card.
it takes a few minutes to flash the software and also a few minutes in HTC LOGO screen for the first run.
My experience is with an HTC ONE E8 Sprint with the RUU version 2.32.651.7.
hope this can help you.

from the same topic:
"1. Instructions to update RUU.zip without PC :
Quote:
1. Download RUU.
2. Rename RUU to 0PAJIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)
3. Put renamed 0PAJIMG.zip on your external_SD
4. Boot into your bootloader and make sure your in hboot and let it update its RUU.
5. No PC, no adb, no fastboot, no terminal is needed, just a root explorer to rename and transfer the renamed RUU file to external_sd
6. After you have updated your RUU, make sure to remove the 0PAJIMG.zip from your external_sd because it will ask to update your RUU everytime your reboot to your bootloader which it is technically supposed to do but its unnecessary after you have done it once (unless you are planning on flashing RUU again).
7.Done!"
but i never try this...
