I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

Hi,
Just as a matter of interest.
Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.
Then it may boot into your ROM...

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
Okay so i thought like every one is upgrading to ics i should try it too so i searched forum n found this " Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.5.1 " ROM followed the instructions but then my cell stuck at the htc quietly brilliant logo then downloaded another rom it stuck there again then downloaded insercoin's ics rom but it keeps booting never started so wanna know do u guys have any idea whats happening to me?

Download a 3.32 firmware file that fits you. Put that PG58IMG file on the root of your SD card (top level folder) and turn your phone off. Hold Volume Down and power it up. It'll ask if you want to update. Say yes. Then it'll ask to reboot. Take out the SD card ONLY AFTER the update is complete then reboot into the bootloader (volume down + power). Wait 10 seconds and put the SD card in, scroll down to recovery and select it. Now, reflash the ICS rom you want and it'll boot. Once it's booted, use a file manager and remove the PG58IMG file from your SD.
Okay just one question which firmware should i download as there are China,T-mobile,orange and vodafone??? i live in pakistan n have non of these carriers, does it matter if i download any of these carrier's firmware???if no then plz suggest a firmware ur self n i appreciate ur help
You have s-off right? If so, perform superCID, then it doesn't matter what source the fw has. If you don't want to do this, check Kor-ah's friendly firmware thread in dev forum for another option.

Yes, as you can always revert back to the original one. Make sure you make a note of it. You can always get "CID Getter" from the market, it'll tell you your original CID.
yeah i've got my cid?? its HTC_001 ,what would u prefer supercid or the firmware?

Thanks alot man updated the firmware then flashed ICS n its working now
I was attempting to root my phone and I believe my system files are now deleted or corrupted (This is my best guess from what I have read online) as my phone will not get past the boot screen which is the white background with the "htc" logo. I am able to hit the down volume button with the power button to see the screen where you see the following:
-Revoluntionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
I have the PG58IMG.zip file on my SD Card and when in the above screen, it gives me the prompt "Do you want to start update?". I hit yes, it shows a successful update but when you reboot, it still refuses to boot the phone past the "htc" logo screen. I must admit that I did not do enough research before attempting this "Root" and I'm having difficultly understanding what to do next. If possible, I would like to get the phone back to factory setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#1 - do you have a custom recovery installed?
#2 - remove the PG58IMG.zip file from your SD card or you will never be able to get past the bootloader.
#3 - if you REALLY want to go back to factory, you will need to install an official HTC RUU.
Thanks for the response JWhipple. Here are your answers:
1: Custom Recovery is installed, I've tried 2 different ones, still refuses to boot.
2: I have removed the zip file from the SD Card, still refuses to boot.
3: I haven't tried the HTC RUU yet because I still can't get the phone to boot.
If you boot the phone into bootloader mode you should be able to run the RUU. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Do a full wipe from recovery.....including the /system and /boot. Then reflash your ROM. Also, ensure your using the correct firmware for the ROM your using.

I have a similar problem, except that my update failed!! Can I just delete the firmware file and the phone will get back to normal????
The easiest way to solve your issue, providing you DO have a custom recovery e.g. 4EXT or Clockwork, would be to go to the Sensation Android Development sub-forum, find an appropriate ROM, and then flash it through recovery. There are many tutorials online explaining this. Alternatively you could search for "Sensation 4g RUU" which is basically the official program for PC which restores the stock firmware of the device. You do need to get the correct one for the 4G Sensation or you could experience some issues.

Thanks you very much for all the input on my problems with my phone! It's nice to see a friendly and helpful community here! I'll start with the new ROM now and update you guys shortly.
Hey tragik74, when you say "run RUU", how exactly do you run it? The only method I see for running anything is to make a PG58IMG.zip file and install that on a SD Card. Which I'm a having an issue with since now my phone shows locked but still has S-OFF.

Hi there. I've read some advices for similar problem, but i couldnt find any solution to this.
My girlfriend tried to flash her rom in Sens and i think she made it bad
I know, that she unlocked her bootloader (1.27) with htc dev page. She flashed touch CWM as a recovery.img and she used partitioning function on her SD card by CWM. It earased her backups etc (yea, cool , isnt it ? ). Form this moment she couldnt mount usb storage and connect phone to the pc in CWM mode. She rebooted system and copied OrDRoid and Sharpy ROM's to the SD. Rebooted to recovery, and she... did full wipe and dalvik cache wipe. Flashed with Sharpy ROM and now... it's the best moment
She forgot to flash the radio, and she didn't read any of instructions in the topic of rom. She just did it like I do it in my desire
So, the question is, how to bring it all alive ? Now there's unending bootscreen loop and i rly donno what to do... I hope u guys will help me with this coz she's now shou ting etc all the time

If bootloader is still accessible, i would recommend the following steps
1- Get superCID (i would recommed but its not neccesary)
2- Flash the latest firmware 3.32.x.x (Put the PG851MG file on root of sd card)
3- delete the PG851MG file from sd card
4- do a full wipe and then flash the ROM. (which should be on the root of sd card)

you're right, there is still s-on coz she only unlocked access to flashing the rcovery
i'll try later to do it

I tried your 2 billions advices and all of them ends with no effect
Tell your girlfriend, I.e. yourself, to start the phone in boot loader, click on fast boot, plug in her (your) phone to the PC and run the proper ruu. And next time make sure your girlfriend (you) pays attention to what she's (you are) doing. Maybe she (you) shouldn't flash anymore phones.
man ... the computer won't see my phone in fastboot if it doesnt work in usb storage mode in cwm so i can't use RUU. this is the reason why i'm here writing these posts
maybe u're schizophrenic and you can mistake hand with another person, whatever, i'm not you .
I didn't have problems with flashing any of MY phones but i can't (yes u're right, i can't) fix up someone's mistakes if i don't know the phone ;]
I think when its plugged into the computer in fastboot mode the computer should install the drivers automatically. Mine did.

Another possible problem might be that you don't have the appropriate firmware.
Do you have 3.32.x.x firmware? If not, follow this, Use 3rd method:
Step 1. 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.
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.

Perform a SuperWipe. It can be found at the end of this post.
Now, just flash a compatible ROM & you're good to go.
If you follow all these steps, I am a 100% positive your device will boot perfectly.
yea we have another problem
it's completely disharged and when i try to connect and charge it only blinks the orange light ; o
Well princess, you're **** outta luck.
Do you have any other way of charging it?
Try plugging in the charger elsewhere. Remove & re-insert the battery.
Also, I have edited the previous post with steps for you to follow since you can't use adb or fastboot. Please read through that and follow it.
k. not bad. i''ve got fully chargd battery and 4-ext recovery touch. firmware 3.32.
now i need any rom for that firmware and s-on... xd
I posted in the Q&A of the general One X forum and they told me to post my problem here.
I tried flashing CM10 mod on my One X and because I am a noob I omitted to do a backup of my phone when I wiped everything. I then proceeded as usual, flashed the boot.img then opened the zip to install CM10, then flashed boot.img again but it didnt work.
I don't know how but after that I successfully messed up my phone. I have no ROM, Lost TWRP, have no backup and the only thing I can use is Fastboot and Bootloader.
My phone lo longer appears on my computer so I cannot move files onto it.
I relocked my phone and flashed all the RUU's that I could find. Used the ARUwizard to try the PJ83IMG to no avail.
Every answer I found on the internet did not work so far and I'm getting desperate. Nothing seems to work. Is there a solution?
PS: Is it just me or is the rogers HTC One X harder and more complicated to mod than other versions of the phone? If I were to buy a new phone which one should I buy?
PPS: Buying a new phone is my last option. I do not want to resort to that. I will if I have to.
This is why 1 click unlocks are so bad for the community. People mindlessly unlock their phones and screw it up.
As for your situation, if you run a RUU successfully but your phone still won't boot then you're probably SOL. Go ask Niceppl and see if he can help you.
And no, Rogers is the easiest to mod. HTCDev supports Rogers HOX bootloader unlock. After that, the rest is the same.

Everytime I try an RUU it says I have the wrong RUU for the device... I tried all of them that I could download. Do I need to do anything else before flashing the RUU maybe?
You didn't SuperCID which is essential for ATT RUU. Right now you basically have a phone with Rogers ID trying to install ATT RUU so it fails.
If you can't get 1.73 rogers RUU working then I have no clue what you can do.
Can you unlock the phone still from fastboot?
If you can have tried to reflash twrp from fastboot?
If it works you may be able to mount the sd card from twrp and move rom to your sd card and flash it.
Just throwing out some ideas since nothing you have tried has worked so far.

Hmm. That sounds like it got corrupted, which may be why your phone cant access anything. Your comp should only be able see the partition that acts like the external sd, so formatting it SHOULD be ok, but get a few more opinions on that before you do it. If so then you can copy a rom on and flash it in twrp.
Could it be -?
I've been trying and trying.
I've been told by someone that maybe I could plug in an SD card reader into my phone. It wasn't recognized.
Could it be my firmware update?
My phone in RUU or ARUwizard or "getvar version-main" says my phone rom version is 1.94.631.3
The rogers RUU out there is 1.73.631.1
Could that be why I cannot install anything on this brick?

I believe that is the new Rogers OTA. I believe it may have the hboot update which is not rootable. If you have already relocked your boot loader and have the updated hboot, you may have a bookend I am afraid.
All you can do is unlock your bootloader again, push twrp recovery via fastboot, then mount the SD from recovery and copy a rooted custom ROM to your SD and flash it.
Hopefully someone will chime in and tell me I am wrong for your sake....

If only my VSD worked... I gave you a thanks anyways. I'll wait for something to come up I guess. I'm kinda fed up with trying and nothing working over and over again.
If you have fastboot why not go through htcdev bootloader unlock? Every in here has suggested it.
Once unlocked flash new recovery and install a rom?
Ps force reboot the phone also by holding the power button for 10seconds.
Thank you for your imput. But my problem lies in the fact I cannot access my phone storage to install a custom rom nor can I flash a working RUU.

Didnt work. thanks though
Update on the situation
So I just tried TWO different methods and both did not work .
1.) I tried pushing a custom rom (Nocturna) to my SD card.
I cannot access ADB unless I am in TWRP, and pushing a file that big to my SD just crashes my phone. My SD also still cannot mount, I still cannot partition it, I still cannot do anything regarding my sd.
So I tried pushing the zip to other folders on my phone and I got a Process error like before on cmd promt as well as a crash TWRP.
So then I tried a second method.
2.) Downgrading software.
Since my firmware version was 1.94.xxx.x I tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
Everything went fine. Bootloader shows 1.11.0000 even though I wrote 1.00.000.0 and in the RUUs it shows 1.00.000.0.
But now that my phone is relocked, suprise! NONE of the RUUs work. I thought this would certainly fix the problem but aparently not.
Any suggestions?

Yes if there was a 1.94 ruu it might work but I don't think I've seen one but I could be wrong.
On another note am I understanding you correctly you were able to mount your sd via twrp if so I'm surprised it crashed It's how I always move rom zips over to my phone.

Yeah, my sd is kaput. I hope the RUU will fix it when it comes out. How long do you think it is going to take? I'm paying way too much for a plan if I'm not going to be using a smartphone.

I recently had this issue cause i was messing around and I hit wipe in TWRP by accented. So it wipped everything on my phone to include the Hboot so no version showed up when i tried to flash the RUU. I grabbed the OTA 2.20 update with the kernal and now everything works minus the battery its drains crazy fast.
