[Q] Frozen on Reboot of Android Revolution HD 6.2.1

HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile.
I have gone through more threads than a textile factory and cannot find anything posted about this (I would be very happy if someone would make a liar out of me). Mike1986, I hope you see this.
I have flashed ROM's before but using Clockwork Mod and did not have to flash the firmware.
I followed the directions to the 'T' from installing 4ext (which seems to work well) to flashing firmware (3.24.xxx) to using Super Wipe and all in between. I even found a patch for the firmware but it did not work.
The phone freezes on the Beat Audio screen. I left it there for over an hour and was not able to shut it down; I had to remove the battery.
Now when I go in to boot loader (though I removed the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD card) it still runns through that script as if the file were still there.
In bootloader it displays;

HBOOT
If I remove the SD card and boot then it does not run through the PG58 script but I have no idea where its coming from because I cannot find that file anywhere on the SD card.
I tried removing everything and doing it again to no avail.
I tried booting without the SD card with no luck.
However, the second time I flashed the firmware it gave me the "Incorrect CID" message and terminated the flash. It DID NOT give me that message the first time I flashed the firmware.
I Have tried going back to the stock firmware and the enregy ROM I was using and it boot loops at the HTC screen. I am now back with the 3.24 firmware and 6.2.1.
Now I have a relatively static advertisement for Beat Audio.
PLEASE tell me I did not brick my phone!!!!
Mike, if your out there, HELP!!!!!!

Have you super-CID'd your phone?

OK, first thing I notice is that although you're on HBOOT 1.27 you don't have the latest radio (11.21.3504.13-2)
Any reason for that?
Personally I would download the Firmware again from Mike's thread, and re-install. This should update your radio. Make sure you have SUPERCIDd your phone or that your CID is one of CIDs listed are included in the firmware. Once this is complete, get rid of the PG***.zip file, and Superwipe. Once that's complete, then reinstall 6.2.1.
That should do it.

That was it I had to go in to the android info file of the radio zip and add cidnum T-MOB10 then everything came together

It is clear from your bootloader screen info that the firmware flashing is done partially. It is incomplete. Did you check the md5 checksum of the PG58IMG.zip file before flashing??
It seems a bad firmware flash. Please download the correct v3.24 firmware from this thread. Flash it . Then superwipe and install ARHD 6.2.1 . Also have a look here . You will get the basic info .

I'm kind of in the same boat. I dont know my CID number...(dont know how to find since I'm stuck at tHe bootloader screen) and not sure of MD5 either. I know, dumb of me to jump ahead with out knowing) So can anyone help me? I dont know which PG58 file to try?

(Help!) Attempted wrong firmware upgrade from 2.3.4 HTC Sensation Z710a

ok so i wanted to install the ICS on my android but it needed the 4.03 firmware but the 4.03 firmware needed a firmware from 3.x.x so i when to find one and now my device is bricked i can still flash to ROM but thats about it. i can turn it on and it just sits there with a white screen with a label saying "HTC". i have tried restoring from my ROM back ups since i got clock mod installed in the recovery menu i tried every thing i wiped every thing and when i flash or re flash a rom my HTC goes into a booting cycle. and my CID is supper cid and i remember my HBOOT being 1.18.000 but thats about it. i had stock firmware of 2.3.4
My phone had firmware with vodafone australia.
my SD card is intact but i think internal SD card is corrupted or what ever where ever the firmware gets flashed to.
and i cannot seem to find the original vodafone HTC Sensation 2.3.3 firmware so i could restore it and then update it to 2.3.4.

What md5 checksum do you want to check ?? There are many utilities to check md5 checksum on computer. Run superwipe script , then install Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 , You have the correct firmware for it. I can see.

I have a same problem.
Didn't read the thread very well and I upgraded the wrong firmware.
Now, I just see the ''HTC'' logo and after that it's only rebooting over and over again. I downloaded the firmware I needed, thought I will just replace it with this ''broken'' one, but I'm getting errors all the time. And after that, again rebooting.
HTC Sensation, S-Off, first firmware was 2.3.4.
Error is: ''CID incorrect, update fail'' in HBOOT.
Only way I can stop rebooting after that message is to take out the battery.
Anyone got any other solutions except the first answer?
Thank you in advance, sorry about my bad english.
NOTE: I'm a noob at this, just wanted ICS on my phone. So, please, explain it in ''moron language''

Pull the card out and boot it into hboot mode. Then to recovery. Mount your sd card. Plug it into your computer. Delete the incorrect firmware. Find a superwipe zip. Flash Zip. Then flash correct firmware.

It looks like you have a valid version of the Firmware (HBOOT 1.27.1100). However you need to understand that that version ONLY supports ICS ROMs, so it won't support your old ROM even if you recover it. Also as usual you should SuperWipe when changing things this dramatically.
As you still seem to be able to get into Recovery try the following:
i) Download the Superwipe Script from the ARHD thread, in the Downloads bit in he first post.
ii) Download a full ICS ROM, take your pick (my preference is Virtuous Inquisition 3.5).
iii)Copy the files over to the SD-card from your PC.
iv) Delete the PG59IMG.zip from the SD-card. (ADDED IN EDIT1)
In recovery, run the Superwipe Script. Then Install the ICS ROM. The first re-boot will take a few mins.
To check MD5s just get a free MD5 checker for your PC and also get one for the phone, when it's backup up and running.

You haven't detailed what your HBOOT is at the moment, what does it say if you go into BootLoader ?
As it's mentioning CID, I assume you didn't SuperCID the phone, not an issue just get the right one for you CID from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After you update the Firmware you'll need to:
i) SuperWipe
ii) Install ICS ROM
iii) Remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD-Card.

In this thread ''[Firmware][Feb 22]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 & 3.30 Unlocked'' I downloaded ''HTC China & H3G'', version 3.30 by mistake.
HBOOT installed the PG58IMG.zip file and after that he's just rebooting.
I have T-Mobile Europe carrier but my HTC is unlocked.
Now, I don't really know what firmware to download or how to check for the right one. Also, I don't know how to SuperWipe or anything so I need someone just to write all the steps. From Wipe to ROM. I found nothing on this anywhere else and I searched all night. I'm new to Android (Have Sensation for about 2 months) so thank you for your help people! Really appreciate it.

Take out your sdcard from phone . connect the sdcard to your pc via some sdcard reader. Then delete the PG58IMG.zip from the scard. You will be fine.

Tried that, still stuck in the loop. I think half the firmware update has ran, then it has failed, so i need to roll back...

Download both the 3.30 and 3.12 FW. Open the 3.12 zip on your computer and replace just the Hboot file with the one from the 3.30 zip. Then flash the customized zip so you'll have the 3.30 fw with the 3.12 boatloader (1.23 not 1.27) and then flash a 3.30 Rom.
Some phones arent booting with the 1.27 bootloader that comes with the 3.24 and 3.30 fw.

You can superCID from fastboot. Put it in bootloader, connect USB, bootloader should say fastboot USB.
Follow sticky guide in dev forum.
Is the pg58img.zip still on your SD?

I had the same problem when I first tried to flash a rom, you just have to find the right firmware for your CID, find yours here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767, and if you don't know your CID just superCID as shown in the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7, just manually boot into bootloader.
If you want you can also see what I did on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516373

Are you s-off ? If you are S-OFF , then you need not have any file.
Just boot into bootloader.
Open a fastboot terminal in pc.
and type
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid
After this you will get a reply like this CID : 11111111
If you are not S-OFF, then first install adb and fastboot in your pc from here for windows or from here for linux and follow this guide.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ 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.

Open cmd prompt as admin (RT click)
cd to folder with fastboot drivers (e.g. cd C:/sdk/tools)
Connect in bootloader via USB, type "fastboot devices" and you should get a response with your serial number.

By fastboot terminal I mean :
Open command prompt in windows.
CD to the directory where adb and fastboot installed ( generally platform-tools folder in the sdk).( Boot your phone into bootloader mode. and connect to pc)
Now type :

[Q] HTC Sensation Boot Loop after S-off

First post. Hi all. I have rooted phones for years now and am finally at a loss of what to do with this current phone I have. I have a HTC sensation. I just S-offed it and was trying to install clolckwork mod 5.0.0.8 and it says model id incorrect and I am stuck in a boot loop. I must have downloaded 15 different PG58IMG files and they all say the same thing..... model id incorrect. I just got this phone in the mail. Revolutionary S-offed it. Then when it asked "Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually" from the [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. Does anyone have any idea of how to get this phone working again??

I have successfully rooted a HTC sensation before. My phone got stolen out of my work truck and this is the replacement phone I just got yesterday and was going to do go through all the stuff to install android revolution HD on it. and right after s-off it boot looped. Next step was to install clockwork mod and thats where im stuck. I have no recovery installed because that was the next step. Any insight/help appreciated thanks

If you a have sd card adapter, you can download CWM Recovery form Here rename it PG58IMG and put on the root of sd card.
Put your sd card back into the phone and reboot in bootloader and it will install recovery. When you are done, delete or rename PG58IMG from sd card.
Btw what is your model Id?
Download terminal emulator from the market and detect it by typing "getprop ro.mid" (without quotes).
Inside the PG58IMG there is a text file with MID and CIDs which you could eventually edit in case of mismatch.
Hope it helps!

Also, instead of CWM you could try installing 4ext

Ok I will try that. I looked under battery on my phone it say PG58100. SInce I cant get into my phone because of the boot loop I cannot download that program you mentioned. So should I open the android-info.txt in the PG58IMG and change
modelid: PG5813000
to
modelid: PG5810000
????
and then try the update?

Btw I see that your firmware is a ICS. Are you sure you downloaded the right firmware for your CID?

If you have adv setup and can boot to bootloader
you can try installing 4ext recovery using fastboot commands.....here is link for touch recovery image

Command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA

Just wondering if you flashed a wrong PG58IMG (ICS firmware instead of recovery).
You are on ICS firmware now but your rom is a GB I guess. This can be the reason of boot loop.
If this is the case read carefully and download the right PG58IMG (firmware 1.17 if your rom is a Gingerbread) from here.
Unfortunately all the bootloader flashable zips are named PG58IMG, but their content is different.

Heres what I did. Took phone out of the box. turned it on. used it for a couple minutes. Then I did the whole revolutionary s-off process. Then I did this
-----------------------------------------------
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)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
--------------------------------------------------
I downloaded the older 5.0.0.8 because it worked for me in the past when I rooted my old HTC sensation.
Now its saying no image even though I renamed it to PG58IMG.zip
And it still stuck on a loop. SO alls I did so far was s-off a brand new phone.

Thank you all. Phone is back to normal. I did the 1.17 firmware that kualmente mentioned. So now my phone is a stock phone but just S-off'd. The next step is to install a recovery. Do i even have to install clockwork mod or can I just put on 4EXT recovery? if so how. I was just following directions from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And step two says to install clockwork mod so thats what I was going to do. but I know i need 4EXT later anyway to install android revolution

I personally prefer 4ext touch recovery but basically both cwm and 4ext have same functions.
There is a nice tool to easily install 4ext recovery touch HERE

I'm all back up and running android revolution 6.5.5
Thanks for all your quick responses.

What ROM are you trying to boot ?
If it is an ICS ROM you must have 3.32 firmware

sorry i am still new at this.. let me explain everything from the start..i used htc dev to unlock the bootloader.. managed to root it..and i managed to flash Virtuous Inquisition ICS.. there was a wifi problem so i tried to flash the boot.img from the link in my first post.. and there the problem occurred..after i restarted.. it just kept restarting and restarting. I have no idea what to do now. T_T

Boot into Bootloader (volume down + power) and tell me what numbers are next to HBOOT
Also, when flashing virtuous ROM, Did you flash 3.32 firmware ???

No i didnt flash the 3.32 firmware...

You flashed the firmware (otherwise you wouldn't have hboot 1.27).
Most probably you did'nt flash the rom and you are still on GB. This is why it bootloops.
Did you install a custom recovery (cwm or 4ext)? If not do it and then flash the rom from recovery

Stuck in bootloop

So I was being stupid and didn't read all the instructions while I was trying to flash a PG58IMG for ICS and I think I installed the wrong version for me. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop but I CAN access the recovery and hboot. I don't know what to do now.

Do you have a ics Rom flashed to match the ics firmware? If you still have gb this will put you into bootloop . Flash the ics firmware which is 3.32 or 3.33 then flash the ics Rom. You must remove the pg58img file after you flash Also or it will continue to try to upgrade the file over and over . I hope this helps you.

I'll try flashing 3.33 or 3.32 then flashing the ROM, thanks.

Right now it's stuck at the boot "htc" logo, It's been like this for about 4 mins, is this normal on updating the firmware?
EDIT: It has been about 15 mins now and I recided to go into hboot and the message thing at the top was changed. Now it reads:

and at the end after the "sd checking", it says "Battery voltage is too low! Please change a battery..."
Not sure if has anything to do with my problem, but its worth putting out there.

No this is not normal. Charge your device, update firmware 3.32 or 3.33, now you WILL have a bootloopv if your on a gb Rom, so update to a ics Rom. This should solve the bootloop. When updating with a pg58img file you place it on the root of your sd card, pull battery put battery back in then press power and volume at the same time then press power to accept update it will automatically update .remove the pg58img file at this point or it will continue to try to update. I really hope this helps. Sometimes it takes up to 5 or so minutes for the first boot of a Rom but after that I would say it's too long if you're still waiting. Have you done all these steps? With the correct firmware?are you wiping before your flash? It should work smoothly with these steps? Once your charged go over steps again make sure your not missing a step. Hope this helps

Nevermind, I seem to have fixed it by updating the firmware version, thanks for your help!

keep in mind one thing... you must use matching firmware/rom.. i mean for example
- Firmware 3.33 Universal / (ICS)
- Firmware 1.17 Universal / (GB)
so if you're on ICS you must be on 3.33 fw, that should do the trick

[Q] HELP! Way in over my head... trying to flash recovery.

So I recently purchased the T-Mobile version of the HTC-Sensation... since then I've been trying to flash a custom JellyBean ROM onto my device. I've rooted and flashed custom roms on previous phones but the process for this one has been extremely confusing. I've been mainly following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053 I have the bootloader unlocked and I think I have S-Off, now I'm trying to flash a recovery image with the KSG utility but gives me a bunch of error messages that say FILE NOT FOUND - FASTBOOT.LOG and ACCESS DENIED and FILE NOT FOUND - ABD.LOG. I'm sorry if this is in the forum somewhere, but I've been working on this for hours and I can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Additional Details: I'm running Android 2.3.4
When I boot into the bootloader it says

I unlocked the bootloader but got stuck trying to S-off. Everything was going fine until the part where I run the temp_root.bat because I cannot get HTC sync to recognize my phone no matter what I try. I was wondering if anyone had the original version that came on the SD card or if there is a way to gain S-off without using HTC sync? Or can I get Jellybean without gaining S-off? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm pretty new this and feeling way in over my head here.

You are already s-off ,if you want to flash custom Rom flash 3.33 universal firmware (be careful when flashing check the md5 sum) after that flash 4ext recovery and flash new rom
Edit here is link for 3.33 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767.
sent from HTC Sensation 4G

@EmporerD
first you don't need a htc sync..
second your phone is already success s-off..you can see that in your bootloader state..
now i think maybe you already forgot the step to remove temp root from your phone after success s-off process..you can do that by running temp_root_remove.bat from the guide that you follow above..
after you had remove temp root from your phone..then you can continued to flashing a 3.33 firmware.. to do that..
just download firmware file from here....then copied that PG58IMG.zip file to the root directory of your sd card (the root directory mean is don't place it that file in any folder..just place it in your sdcard) you can copied that file with card reader..after that just put in back your sd card to the phone...then boot into bootoader..and wait until bootloader check it that file then ask you to updating it...just confirm it yes with vol up button..then wait until finish and ask you to confirm reboot with press power button..
after that you can continued installing custom recovery..
just download custom recovery.img file from here and extracted that zip file then copied that recovery.img file to your adb/sdk folder (the same place as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe folder)..then you flashing it through FASTBOOT with fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"..done..now your phone already had a custom recovery..that are can installing any custom rom...
hope this help..

THANKYOU guys. This helps a lot. I'm going to call it a night for a now, but I will try your advice tomorrow and post updates.

@JJeamy
So I tried to remove the temproot by running the temproot-remove batch file, it didn't do anything so I downloaded the PG58IMG.zip and updated it in the bootoader, now phone is stuck in a bootloop...?
Update: I tried to continue with flashing the custom recovery, but the dialog just gets stuck on "waiting for device" ...
Update 2: Installing the older drivers for fixed the problem of flashing the recovery so my recovery works but it's still stuck in bootloop. Unfortunately I will probablyrun out of time before I can get a custom ROM flashed, but thanks everyone for your help I will update my progress later.

You are on the right path my friend you flashed 3.33 firmware so you hboot version is 1.27 that's way you experiance bootloop , because you have gb rom with ics hboot, so next step is to flash custom recovery!
To do that you need to have SDK files downloaded (Fastboot , adb files) and when you have that in the folder you got the files you copy your recovery img and that you open command window from there and you get your phone to fastboot (bootloader that fasboot) , that you write the command in the command window fasboot flash recovery recovery.img and you are done!
EDIT: here is guide how to find fastboot and Adb files you need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148
and for flasing custom recovery follow this guide step 2 flashing recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after that flash rom
and when you flash your first rom do format everything except sd card before flashing, (and make sure the first rom you flash is not kitkat because you may experiance difficulties when flashing)

So I managed to get recovery going, and I flashed CM 11 with 4.4 with no issue. : D
