Hey guys, I just rooted my phone and put in Virtuous's AOSP senseless ics rom. I was doing to same for my brother's, but I mistakenly updated the hboot to 1.23.000 halfway through.
What I did was:
I followed "[Guide] to installing s-off, ..."
Did step 1 and started step 2.
In step 2, instead of using the PG58IMG file for clockwork recovery, I used the PG58IMG file to update the firmware for the ics rom
The problem is that whenever I enter hboot, it checks for the PG58IMG file, and when i try using the one for clockwork recovery, it says "model id incorrect" and prompts me to press power to reboot.
Now, the phone has s-off, but doesn't have root. its hboot version is 1.23.0000.
Is there any way I can downgrade the version to 1.18 or less, or maybe get the clockwork recovery in the updated ics PG58IMG file?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I got the same error with the new firmware til I did super cid. Its easier than rooting I think. Sorry no link I'm on my phone. Just google super cid sensation xda and follow the steps in the thread.

Oh n u still have clockwork recovery. Just remove your sd card and put it in your pc. Then take off the PG58img file you installed through your pc. Then u should b able to go to recovery.

Hello,
I am a noob here. My question is regarding rooting the Sensation. I rooted mine successfully and installed ISC.
Now on my friends device, we followed the same steps. After using Revolution, i booted to boot mode. When we tried to install pg58img if said SID Incorrect, Install Failed.
I did delete the pg58img file after from the main directory of the SD card after.
It is now caught in a boot loop. I can't seem to get out of.
Any recommendations?
Currently has HSBOOT 1.27
I did search in the forums and could not find a solution
I think that you should have flashed 1.23 first, then flash the ROM and now after a reboot you should flash hboot 1.27.
I also got stuck in a bootloop and all I could do was to run my RUU file, get back to stock and start over.
Thanks for the response. But where do I restart from? I can't boot the phone, I can't access it from the PC. It just loops.
That's where I am stuck

You haven't installed one and no you don't want h boot 1.23 because you will be stuck with s on unable to flash boot.IMG or radios. 1.27 has an exploit so you're able to get back to 1.17 h boot.
Also Revolutionary doesn't support 1.27.
You're stuck in a bootloop because you have the wrong h boot version for running GB Rom.

Hello thanks for the response. So whats my next step? Find 1.17, add it to the root directory and it should work?
Read this guide, it will explain the process and link you to the files you will need and explains how to flash boot.IMG

Attached is a photo of the boot screen. I tried looking the file with 1.17 failed to update. I tried one again with 1.27, it installed but still loops. And I cannot access recovery.
I know I may be doing the wrong thing, but I am lost at this point...
Okay do this, you need to find a recovery.IMG for the latest CWM or 4ext, I am not near my pc so I cannot upload one. Search the development forum, they do exist. You then turn off your phone and remove the battery and sd card, insert the sd into a reader on your pc. Copy the recovery.IMG to your sd card and change the name to PG58IMG.zip. Safely remove card from your pc, put it back in your phone, put battery back in. Boot into h boot and when it asks if you want to do update choose yes, it will update. Now you have custom recovery to flash custom ROM. You will still bootloop because you now have to flash an ICS ROM.
Do yourself a favor while you have the sd card in your pc and put a ICS ROM zip on it. Before you can flash your Rom you have to remove your sd card again same as before and delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card, safely remove it, put it back in phone boot into h boot scroll down to recovery, choose it by pushing power, now choose install zip option then choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the ROM zip you put there and install it.
You should be good now.

Your awesome!!!
YOUR AWESOME... Everything worked so far.
I was able to use CID to 11111111 and use your instructions. It did allow me to use a GB rom, but still not an ICS rom. I am assuming I will have to download another PG158IMG file ?
Atleast I am out of the loop for GB though!
If you want to run ICS you are on the right h boot 1.27. Which are you trying to flash? Check your mid. Use adb while in fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid".
Glad to hear it's working now.

Rhiaanon - thanks again for the help. I successfully have Extreme Sensation running after all those issues. I really appreciate the help !!!
Your a life saver
I bougth a new HTC Sensation 4G and decided to upgrade to ICS 4.0.3.
I don't know too much about how to flash,root etc. So I googled it and found a forum. I was successful with the S-OFF part so I went to step 2 root my phone.
I downloaded a file PMG58IMG and placed that on my SD and tried to update trough HBoot. It asked me if i want to update I did volume +.
After it was finished I got this:
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail
Press <POWER> to reboot
So I turned it off and started it up, it started to boot loop every time after the HTC Logo, turn off starts up HTC Logo and it keeps doing that.
I went into Hboot and saw that my HBOOT version that was 1.18 has been changed to 1.27
I do have to mention that I did clear or wiped anything before doing this. I just opened the box and started with the process. So I think I had Android 2.3 I'm not sure about that.
I tried to do the PMG58IMG thing again several times with other PMG58IMG file but keep getting this:
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail
Press <POWER> to reboot
Please help me solve this problem thank you...
probable solution
Hey,
Check your MID and edit the android-info.txt file accordingly. or download one of these matching your phones details. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
cheers.
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
The pg58img file is a firmware update, not for gaining root (which is done by flashing a superuser binary zip in recovery).
The problem is now you have firmware incompatible with your rom, causing bootloop.
The solution, first thing to try is remove SD, delete the pg58img, reinsert and try to boot.
If it fails you need to redo the pg58img process with a firmware compatible with Android 2.3 if that's what you had. You need firmware version 3.12 or lower.
If this fails you may need to run ruu and start over.

Thanks Everybody...
You update in bootloader same as you did for firmware.
To note also, for newer ics roms you will most likely need to flash newer fw than 3.12.

1. Put pmg58img on the ROOT of your SD card, not in any folder.
2. Boot into boot loader
3. It will ask you to confirm update. Do that and wait.
4. When its finished reboot

I see the problem, the links from where you are downloading have the files improperly compiled, that's the problem.

Thank you, I was thinking about that and I did it before you replied. I downloaded the Recovery file that is a image file and made a PMG58IMG.zip file. After that I copied the .txt file from the firmware PMG58IMG.zip file and paste that in the Recovery zip. I was a success I'm permanently rooted.
Now I have to do the next steps hope I'll do them correctly.
I am glad you got it sorted. Have fun and enjoy flashing!!

I started rooting my htc sensation 4g. all went well i downloaded revolutionary and succesfully S-OFFd the phone.When revolution asked me if i wanted to download clockwork recovery i said no. so then i was told to download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation but the link was bad so i had to go explore for another one. the one i found was supposed to work it was a pg.158 file or whatever. When i booted in to hboot after putting the zip on my sd card and back into the phone, it asked me if i wanted to update i clicked volume up. it did its thing then asking me to reboot and i clicked yes.
it shut off came back on to the htc start up screen went to the next one and shuts off and repeats itself. its never ending i try to click recovery and it just goes back into bootloop....i try to click factory reset it just starts then gives me a ret triangle......what did i do wrong...someone please help me get out of this mess.
my hboot says revolutionary pyramid pvt soff
hboot-1.27.1100
i have the same situation. i tried flashing a leedroid rom with the 3.32 firmware, im stuck in bootloop none of my back ups work. now
i flashed the update to the 3.32 firmware and yet im still in the same situation,
now my bootloader says.
locked
hboot is 1.27
im stuck in the htc boot screen..
at this point i feel lost anyone can provide any help?
i am going to attempt the fix that was posted on here...
im going to try to flash the 3.12 firmware..and then try my stock back up? i hope im on the right path..ive done a lot of reading on these forums and i am still having trouble finding my way. i am a noob but i was flashings roms back and forth before i decided to flash an ICS rom..i love my sensation and i appreciate all the help that is posted on here. i just want to get my phone back in working order. and from i understand its not bricked..but it feels that way..
thanks in advance again
I just did S-off using revolutionary io.
It actually said failed during the process but I have the words Revolutionary! in Pink and S-OFF in my HBoot 1.17.1111 screen now. This definitely means I'm S-OFF correct?
Second thing is, next step should be install a new CWM recovery right? So just download the Sensation CWM recovery found here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager then rename it PG58IMG.zip and put it into the root of the microSD. Boot into HBOOT and flash it. Then before the second reboot yank out the microSD ? Boot into Stock rom normally. Delete the PG58IMG.zip file. Download the rom I want to install and copy it over to the SDcard.
Third, do superCID or download 3.32 firmware for my CID (in this case TMOB10), and put it into the root of the SDcard. Boot into hboot again. Let it update.
Boot into CWM recovery. Wipe everything. Install the ICS rom I want.
I just wanted to make sure these are the right steps. Thank you for helping me out!
Those seem dead on, just replace CWM recovery with 4EXT touch recovery, it's better.

Hello I am a noob and I need help please.
On Tuesday I rooted my HTC XE Sensation after finding a way to root and unlock it. Well after I did all of that I went to add the custom CoinDroid rom onto my phone and now my phone will not do anything. I removed the file from my sd card and re-added everything I did to root & unlock the phone and now it just stays at the HTC logo white screen.
I am able to get on the bootloader and I have used recovery on my phone every time with CWM. And nothing happens. Is my phone bricked? If not is there a way to get my phone to work?
On the bootload screen it reads:

Well you won't be able to use 4ext until you can download it off the market.
Find a nice Gingerbread ROM off development, or you can try ARHD sense 3.5 ROM. Don't try to usr 3.6 because you probably don't have proper firmware. Download the 3.5 ROM, put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, superwipe everything and then flash the ARHD ROM. Make sure you check md5 sum.

I just saw that you have S-On. I think another problem is that you have S-on. There are a couple guides in development that guide you through the process. Obtain S-off, super CID, then try to flash again. You can do all that through ADB. Imma head to sleep now, will help you tomorrow if you still need help.

Alright so here we go:
Step 1: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. This is the thread for S-Off. Do that first. This might solve your problem. After you have S-Off do the next step.
Step 2: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460801 and download the ROM. You don't have to stick with this ROM. It's just to check if it works. Make sure you put the downloaded ROM into the ROOT of your SD card. Don't put it in any folder.
Step 3: Put your SD card back into your phone and reboot to recovery(CWM). Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik-Chache.) Once you've done that, flash the ROM. After flashing, reboot your phone and it should reboot. First boot takes a while. If it seems to bootloop, try to flash one more time. If it still bootloops, All I can tell you to do is either try and unroot it and set it like factory or try to upgrade your Frimware.
(If your phone did boot up correctly)
Step 4: Go to the market and download 4EXT. Follow the directions to have your recovery changed.
Step 5: I am assuimging you have changed your CID to 11111111. If not, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow the directions on how to change your CID.
Step 6: Most ROMS now adays will require the new firmware. To do that, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618. Follow the directions on how to change your firmware. Read the directions are fully, doing this wrong could make your phone useless. After your firmware is changed, go on development and download a ROM you might like. Read through and make sure the firmware that ROM requires is the firmware that you have.
That Should worlk. Good luck.

maybe in your case is unecessary but it worths the try
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only extra 1 step) or
do a full wipe and reflash the rom
Reflashing is maybe the only thing you could do
Or try flashing the radio

How exactly do I flash the radio?sorry for all the questions..I did find a ROM that solved the problem and I noticed that it had a stock kernel..does that mean that I can never flash a ROM with a custom kernel? WTF to that:banghead:
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
You can flash a matching kernel if your So Off. And you can flash a radio if your S off. Here is how. This is how I flash my radio. The radio file is a pg58img file. It must continue to be named pg58img, nothing added to the name. Place the pg58img file at root of SD card. Do this by coping the file from your computer to your device. Then once file is placed on root of SD card pull battery, put battery back in, press volume down and power, the device will recognise the file and ask to update, power for yes. Once the update is finished you MUST remove the pg58img file from root of SD card or when in bootloader the device will continue to try to update over and over and over. So make sure to delete the pg58img file when finished. That's it. That's how you update the radio. I suggest you read on the radio site how to update because if your unsure of any steps you can brick your device. So I'm going to attach a link for updating radio. There are a couple ways to do it. I think this way is easiest. But do read the directions so everything is clearly understood. Hope this helps you.
