[Q] PG58IMG help

Hey guys,
I am a noob to this device, and i am trying to install some sweet custom ICS love on my Sensation! I am following the guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
and I have S-OFF! YAY!
However, Ive downloaded the CWM recovery file, renamed it PG58IMG (and it is a zip file), and then reboot it into HBoot to get it to flash, however, it reads the file, but then says no image found. I have tried this with PG58 files from several sources, including the CWM servers. Any Ideas?

If you have installed clockwork or 4ext rename it to update.zip and try to flash that way.

Just download from the market rom manager and install it.

In order to flash it from rom manager, don't I need root?
And don't I.need to flash that su file through clockwork mod? (which i don't have installed)

Im really sorry if im missing the point here. I downloaded superuser, but that still doesnt give me root, correct? Rom manager is still having issues running privileged commands. Im sorry if these are really stupid questions, but what do I do?

Guys, I really don't know what to do here. I got root by using htc super tool v3, and that got me root, then i installed rom manager, then flashed CWM. However, Now I am following the guide on flashing an ICS rom, and when I have to upgrade the firmware, it still says Image not Found on the firmware PG58IMG (i checked the MD5 sum and it was the same.)... Any Ideas?
Hboot version is 1.17.1111
I am really confused. When I boot into Hboot, it says S off and everything. I have 4ext recovery flashed, per the guide. Whats going on?
regards
trev

Are you super cid?

Need help with ICS upgrade from HTC

Hi all, I have been waiting long for the official upgrade to ICS from JTC which I was over the moon when I checked software update on my phone and found it was available, I downloaded it , hit install, the phone shut down , I closed my eyes and opened them to see that the phone didn't finish the setup and Instead had the green Android man with a triangle next to it with (!) Inside , first I left it dor an hour and when nothing happened, I had to take the battery off and restarted the phone and tried it again but no luck.
My phone has the original Rom on it , not rooted , has s-off and has clockworks mod recovery on it , I even tried to install the update from recovery boot but kept coming with error and installation aborted , can anyone help me please? Much appreciated
Thanks

Stop fooling around with the original software when you have soff. Flash the latest firmware available here in forum and flash a custom rom.
P. S. Wrong section

Wrong section, this is a dev section

now your phone is soft bricked. get over it and flash the latest firmware and flash an ics rom

Thanks for ur reply, and sorry I realised it was the wrong sec right after I posted it, my question is is there away I can get it back s-on or if I uninstall clockworcksmod and wipe the Rom will it let me upgrade to original HTC ICS ? Or do I forget it and root it and get a cooked Rom ?

you can. but it's a really complicated process and u may permanently brick your phone. my advice is that u just flash 3.32 firmware and flash any ics rom from here.

THIS IS FOR SENSATION, MAY WORK ON SENSATION XE, FOR MORE WAYS CHECK OUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
Try this First, use 4ext recovery to format all partitions except sdcard, install stock ROM by running RUU and see if that helps, IF NOT use the below method
I got this working for me after I tried getting to stock from ICS custom rom and semi bricked my sensation, you use this at your own risk:
1. Use htc dev unlock method and then use 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Install custom rom , a 2.3.4 rom (use Android Revolution HD 3.6.13), can be downloaded from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one
3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF
4. RUU was not flashing so do this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone
5. From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]
6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),
7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back
8. Result, relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem
Please tell if this helps

Dont make it s-off just install the ota to get rid off custom recovery
Then install the OTA
ore flash Mikes FW and then his stiock ICS

and has clockworks mod recovery on it
you need only stock recovery
jast flash orginal ruu and chek for update and install it

Can you link me to the trusted?safe ROMS? My sensation is not rooted. Should I root it? When I flashed this room, i flashed it with a RUU.exe from pc.
Thanks in advanced. Im sorry. I am a newbie at android.

I can't even boot my phone. To wipe, i need to root it and to root, i need to be in the normal homescreen status? I download a ICS RUU for sensation. Can you tell me what i do next?

Here is my advice to you, as far as the ROM getting stuck during install I really am not sure why it did that . But here are two suggestions, one move the ROM's zip file from the Download folder to the root of your SD card, two try re-downloading the ROM as you might have got a bad download.
Now let me address your main problem that you have not had yet because you have not successfully flash a new ROM yet. You are S-ON and HTC Dev unlocked so you will have to flash the boot.img as it will not flash during a normal install like devices that are full S-OFF. Now also seeing as you said you do not have a computer you need to install 4EXT Recovery so you can use Smart Flash to flash the boot.img. Without Smart Flash you will have to use a computer to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Now to install 4EXT Recovery without a computer you need to install the free 4EXT Updater app, when you download the apk make sure you go into Settings/Security and place a check beside "Unknown sources" and then use a file manager such as ESFile Manager or Astro File Manager (both free from yom the Play Store) to install the apk. Once you have it installed just open the app and select "Online install ¦ upgrade" option to install 4EXT Recovery then go into the Settings for the app and select the Recovery tab, then place a check beside "S-ON: 4EXT SmartFlash" then boot to recovery and flash your ROM. Follow the guide linked in this thread earlier also if you have troubles as it is the best guide for Sensation users that are HTC Dev unlocked and S-ON. Here is a link to the 4EXT thread as well.

Well it sounds like your SD card maybe messed up, if your device will not format the card while in recovery then your only other options are to try to format it with a computer. If you try using a computer I suggest you do a low level format first And then format it Fat32. Your other option is to just get another SD card.
Now to get your device functional again. The only way you will be able to do this now is using a computer to flash the official ROM for your device via RUU. This will not revert your device to S-ON but it will give you a locked Hboot again so you will have to re flash a eng-Hboot to your device. You will also have to flash a custom recovery again and re root your device. Go to this thread to try and find the RUU for your device and info on how to flash via RUU. Also a RUU is the only way you will be able to flash without a working SD card.

Cheers mate u are a mod god I got both on now, to oz ill do the unlock and root again, then. Can start putting some roms on

I got your PM and no problem man I am glad I could help. Now as for what it is doing now when it acts like it is updating does it say "Android updating" when it first boots up? If so it is just gathering needed information and making needed files for any new apps you have installed.now the fact that it is restarting and doing this every time is abnormal as it should only do it once. If that is not what it is doing and it is just showing the progress circle then that means the device is just finishing up loading everything. Now the only thing I can really think of to try is to either uninstall the last app or two that you installed to see if it is a app causing conflict. Make sure to reboot the device after uninstalling the app or apps. If uninstalling the last couple of apps does not help try doing a factory reset and see if it still reboots on it's own.
In one of your other post you said you did successfully S-OFF your device. If you are S-OFF then you do not need to unlock your device again with HTC Dev you just need to install a eng-Hboot. Go to Unlimited.io and click on Hboot downloads, then click on pyramid, last click on ICS. This will start a download for the eng-Hboot you need to install, go back to the first page I linked you to where you clicked on Hboot downloads. The fastboot commands you have to use to install the eng Hboot are on that page. If you do not have access to a computer with ADB already set up on it you can go to the User Friendly Firmware thread and downloaded the 3.33 Universal firmware package and flash ot via bootloader. Just put the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader and then follow the on screen instruction.

God 1 thing after another now I can't connect my phone to the comp, phone won't factory reset or go into recovery, just restarts

HTC Sensation XE - Rooted, Flashed, Recovered, Not booting

Hello everyone.
First of all, thank you for taking your time coming here and i'd like to inform you all that i'm a legit noob regarding this topic.
I recently rooted my HTC Sensation XE using:
HTC All in One Rooting Toolkit
Clockword Mod Recovery Manager
After succesfully rooting my phone, i installed Cyanagemod 9.1 using 'Rom Manager'. I made a backup in the process.
When i installed Cyanagemod 9.1 my HTC Sensation XE wouldn't boot.. So i restarted my phone, got into bootloader and recoverd my phone using the backup i created.
When i rebooted my phone it didn't boot any further then the Beats logo. I tried recovering several times, without succes. Everytime i start my phone it won't get past the Beats logo.
It's still possible to get into bootloader etc. but i have no clue how to fix my phone..
Hopefully someone can help me with this!
My HTC phone:
Android 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
HBoot 1.29
S-ON

In this general section.. There is a guide.. Called.. "Flashing roms with SON "... By asskickar... Do extra 1 step from there after doing the restore or after flashing the rom (use the corresponding boot.img in both the cases)
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Ur phone is s-on so I assume you need to turn the smartflah on from the 4ext reccovery. Install the 4ext recovery first, turn smartflah on and flash any rom to see how it goes.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I'll go and try this.
I forgot to mention that i already did this in some way. I extracted the boot image from the Cyanagemod 9.1.zip and i put it in the ADB folder. Then i used "fastboot flash boot boot.image".
So if i'm correct this could be the problem? Because now my phone will try to boot the Cyanagemod, i think.

Got it working again. Flashed the original boot.img from my backup.
Thanks for everyones help.
