[Q] PG58IMG.zip boot loop

Alright I'm sorry if this has already happened to someone and they've posted about it. I couldn't find any threads about this, which is not surprising to me as this was a stupid mistake that most likely users here wouldn't make.
I have an HTC Sensation.
I wanted to run the ARHD XE rom 6.5.1.
Completed S-off, installed CWM, and successfully rooted device.
I then downloaded the following zip files and put them onto the sd card to be flashed.
PG58IMG.zip(firmware package)
SuperWipe
The rom itself
I also installed 4EXT.
I also completed the process where you write in the command line with the phone hooked up. the phone reboots a bunch of times during the process, I don't remember the name of the step. but I completed it successfully. I remember the step "allows you to flash any rom"
after I had the rom downloaded(took the longest to download and was the last thing I transferred to the sd card.)
I unplugged the phone then booted into bootloader, where I had planned to continue into CWM recovery to flash the zips.
but once I entered the white screened boot loader, the phone instantly read through the sd card and found the firmware update, began checking it, I briefly saw( and see) a message or two saying that no image or file was found, then it loads up a list like this:
Parsing....[sd zip]
1.SBL1
2.SBL2
3.SBL3
4.TRUST_ZONE
5.ADSP
6.BOOTLOADER
7.RPM
8.RADIO_V2
And it says " Do you want to start update?"
The first time this happened I said no, and the phone just rebooted.
So I turned it off and went back into the bootloader and it asked me the same question and it didn't(doesn't) let me do anything else so I figured(being dumb and not checking online first) that I was supposed to let it update and said "yes". It then went(and goes) through the process of updating the firmware(I'm guessing) and after it gets done, the only option I have is to reboot the phone, and after this all happened, the phone is now locked in a boot loop, "htc" then "htc quietly brilliant" then it starts over.
after reading I now know that your supposed to enter the command line again when your going to update the firmware. I'm so screwed if I bricked my phone.
Please help me out anyone if there's anyway I fix or save my phone.
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE: I took out the sd card, then booted into bootloader, then after I got into 4ext, I put the sd card back in, I am now doing a restore.
UPDATE 2: system restore didn't work, and I think it's because I installed 4ext after I made my backup, i made the backup with CWM. :/

two post down from yous is my post {fix} for 3.24-3.32 firm bootloopsgive it a read youll be good to go

Your system restore should work regardless when you installed 4EXT. It just acts as a unique touch interface if you didn't have it before? If you installed new firmware, then it might be because you need to flash the old firmware from your backup

Mate, you said yourself what the problem was..
Place PG58IMG.zip on sd, boot into recovery, let it update, after update put SD card in computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip. FIXXED!!!

Remove your sdcard, boot into hboot, keep the phone on, insert the sdcard, choose recovery and continue
next rename or delete the PG58IMG.zip

I have a rooted sensation, it had android revolution hd's last version (with gingerbread)... now yesterday I tried installing the latest version of it Android revolution HD 7.2 by mike 1986 ... every time i finish installation and reboot, it just freezes onto the start-up screen where it says beats audio , I then remove the battery
someone suggested flashing 3.33 firmware and ARHD rom .
. Now will I have to install ARHD7.2 again after flashing firmware ?!
.What version of the firmware is suitable for my phone sensation T-mobile (shows sensation XE in the settings because of ARHD)

yeap you have to upgrade your fw version first
flash 3.33fw as suggested
after that flash again the rom
don't worry about the info(sensation xe)
the info are taken from build.prop file which is located in system folder of the internal storage
this file can be edited which means you can change the name of the device with any file manager with root permissions
but there is no need to do anything
just upgrade the fw version and then flash the rom

[Q] stuck in infinite bootloop HELP!!!

Hi i was trying to upgrade to an ics rom (elegancia or android rev hd) and i got stuck in a bootloop. what i did was I turned S-Off and downloaded the revolution clockworkmod which worked out fine. Then I rooted the phone by flashing a superuser file which worked, and finally i tried flashing mikes PG58IMG.zip firmware update, mi CID is T-MOB010 which is not supported so i followed the instructions and added it to the android-info.txt file. when i tried to install it it said "CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <power> to reboot" and i went into a bootloop without letting me access the recovery. I was able to acces it later by taking the sd card out.
I tried deleting all data and tried a nadroid restore which didnt work. Then I tried deleting the mikes update file and installed a correct one which i found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 this took off the error message but Im still stuck in a bootloop, Now every time i go to recovery it tells me if i want to install the file again and if i dont install it it makes me reboot.
At this point I just need my phone to work with or without a rom
I think i am on 2.3.4 (I just got this phone)
HBOOT 1.27.1100
Any Advice?

what is your radio version? you want ics to install to your phone?

Is the boot.img still on your sd card? You won't be able to get past it without deleting the image off your card. To do that you're going to have to plug the SD in to a computer and remove the file manually.

if you got 4ext recovery on the phone you can take the memory card out, boot into recovery, plug in the memory card, mount the memory card through recovery and connect with your computer.
That way you will be able to place a zip file with the ROM you want and delete the p58 file.
You can't boot unless you have an ics ROM

my radio version is 11.22.3504.07_M
I cant install 4ext because the updater is an app and i can only go to recovery
So i should delete the p58 file and the boot.img and then flash an ICS rom (elegancia)?

I finally got it to work by removing the p58 file and flashing the rom.
thanks guys

Help! Rooted and wiped data, but rom will not install.

So here's my story...
I unlocked the boot loader of my Sensation 4G, installed CWM recovery, and then flashed the SU zip file to root it.
I did a root check and it conformed that it was rooted.
I also installed Busybox.
After I rooted, I downloaded a few ROMs to try.
I downloaded the Viper ROM and ExtremeSensation ROM.
I dropped both ROM zips onto my SD card.
I then booted into CWM recovery to flash a new ROM to my Sensation.
I backed up my phone before attempting anything via CWM.
After backing up, I selected to install zip from SD and started to install the ROM.
I first tried the Viper ROM (latest).
It went through the install process and then booted.
It then got stuck on the boot screen.
I waited about 20 minutes and then gave up.
I did a full reset again, deleted cache and Dalvik.
I then installed the ROM again.
Once again... stuck on boot animation screen.
I then tried to install the ExtremeSensation ROM. (Its based on CM9)
I did the same procedure and deleted everything and installed the ROM.
It got to the boot screen animation and it stayed stuck on the boot screen animation for over 20 minutes.
It seemed like nothing would install.
I didnt realize that I had to make my Sensation "S-off"... it is still "S-on".
Now I am stuck with no ROMS.
I tried to install a stock rom. It is the 3.33.401.6 ROM.
When I try to install it, the installation aborts. Everytime.
I tried to restore my backup, but it says the MD5 checksum is invalid... looks like my only backup is corrupt.
What can I do to save my phone?
Any help would be SUPER appreciated!
Thanks!

When installing new Custom ROMs you should SuperWipe before installing the new ROM. You can find the SuperWipe script in the ARHD thread. Just install zip from SDcard through CWM.
In the Download section of the OP from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Yes, S-OFF is a very good thing to have. I assume you have gone through the HTC Dev unlocking tool. There are a few guides on S-OFFing 1.2x.0000 HBOOT phones.
I had a similar issue with MD5 problems when trying to do a CWM recovery. Have you renamed the backup folder, if so you CANNOT have spaces in the new name. Renaming is fine just no spaces. If that's not the problem then sorry I don't know.

i had S-ON and HBoot 1.27.xxx.xxx, and i flashed android revolution, there is a good tutorial on how to flash with s-on

{HELP} device is keep booting into recovey -- SOLVED --

To the Guru of this forum. After my last rom flashing my device is keeping booting into recovery :crying:. Is it briked ? If so my only hope is the unbricking project ? Thanks in advance.

What recovery are you running?
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader?
Also, please provide as much pertinent info as possible, ie: rom you flashed, firmware, s-off or s-on, locked or unlocked. With your description it's basically like saying, "my car makes a noise all the time. what is causing it?".

Its not bricked.If u can enter recovery
Sent from my HTC sensation

Sorry you are right:
What recovery are you running? 4Ext
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader? yes
The device is HTC unlocked with S-On.
Rom JBMIUI v4.1 2.8.31 R2.
HBOOT 1.27.0000
firmware 3.33.401.6
I've format everything but SD. Restored the most recent back up done today before flashing. Once it reboots HTC logo comes up once, black screen, HTC logo, 4Ext is coming up saying that smartflash it is set to update the boot partition on next system start asking if this should be removed.
I've downloaded and installed again PG58IMG *different files using bootloader
I've founded a 3.33.401.6-Unsecured-Boot.img,+Root+Busybox zip file that can be installed via recovery but it did not help.
At this point I need a bit of help to look into the right direction and I'm not sure that Unbrick_Pyramid is the right way.
Thanks again.

Try turning off smartflash and flash a 3.33 stock rom to see if it will boot.
What was your last working setup, and what were you trying to install?

Hi. Manage to flash a stock 3.33.
It stopped to reboot straight into recovery.
Sits now on HTC logo now for about 10 mins. I plan to let him run for 1 hr and see what happens.
Was thinking to install CWM on the basis that could be a 4ext recovery issue, toughs?

If you can install clockworkmod that may help.
Tge device isnt getting the message that it has already booted into recovery once. So something may be jacked up with 4ext.
Clockwork may bypass all that when it doesnt know what to do with that signal to run smartflash.
Worst case scenario...put a full pm58img containing a rom and recovery on the sf card and flash that through bootloader.
You should still be able to get to bootloader as the device looks for that option first.

And did that help? Are you able to get into recovery without errors now? If so you should be able to flash a fresh version of any ROM.
Try that first. Get any ROM. Flash it. See if it boots.
If you have successfully replaced 4EXT I will bet a fresh flash of a ROM will now boot.
Also worth a shot is replacing or upgrading the firmware, as that could be what's sending the phone into recovery on each boot (though this is less likely that 4EXT just being broken)
Flash a firmware PM58IMG like 3.32 or 3.33 and see if that helps.
But for starters, put a fresh ROM on the SD card and flash it with CWM. (BE SURE IT'S A ROM THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE 4EXT!!)
Once you've got it all fixed you can switch back to 4EXT. I have a feeling it was just the copy you were running that got botched. The software itself is solid and stable. A new copy shoudl work fine now.

CWM v5.0.2.0 was installed fine.
3.33 firmware installed once again.
Using this I've installed ROM that I already did in the past w/o luck, they all sit on the HTC logo. Is like the initial boot sequence is broken. Is boot.img part of the firmware or ROM ?
Trying to download some additional ones.
Thanks,

The more details you give, the better the answers will be. Don't consider any detail too small.
What do you mean you installed ROM's that you had done in the past? Do you mean you are trying to restore a backup made with 4EXT?
That won't work. You need to flash a fresh version of the ROM after wiping.
Also, CWM won't install some ROM's that you may have used in the past. What ROM are you trying to install?
The HTC logo that first pops up when you hit the power button is part of the firmware.
Make sure you do a full wipe of everything but the SD card from within CWM. Get whatever's causing the problem off that way. Then flash a fresh install of a ROM from scratch.

Hi.
I did not use any backup only fresh ROMs: ARHD, Elegantia, but also stock ROMs I could find.
I've tried also some PG58IMG with ROM included.
Cheers.

Hallo, after trying all option the following did work for me:
- re-lock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
- apply stock ROM founded in this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

I guess that HTC RUU had some superpower and erase and installed whatever file(s) were corrupted.

Android Revolution HD 7.3

Hey guys,
Having some problems with this ROM. I downloaded the ZIP, used Titanium backup to back it all up, and flashed the Rom with no problems at all...got through all the screens and whatnot, and upon launching for the first time it's stuck on the "Beats Audio" screen. Not really sure why or what happened. I'm coming from MIUI ROM and haven't had issues with flashing any other ROM before.
One thing I noticed is on the HD 7.3 first page there is a firmware update that you apparently need before you flash the ROM but all links are 404/not found.
Wondering if any of you pros can offer a hand?

In looking at my Hboot, it's old as sin....I'm using Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111 and Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I run clockwork recovery mod v5.0.2.0 as well. This could be an issue causing the problem. I've been using the MIUI ROM for probably 2 years or so because I enjoyed it but I'm ready for a change. Apparently my phone doesn't agree. lol.
You want me to connect via USB and run the cmd prompt for the getvar command and let you know what it says?

I'll go ahead and update the firmware and see where that lands me. I figured it could have been a problem from the get go but in the original thread for the HD 7.3 Rom the firmware link has been removed (likely since it was from 2011)

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.
Could it be that I'm just flashing the ROM incorrectly? To my knowledge I've followed instructions for both and have backed up my phone and it's contents and done everything from a factory reset/wipe to wiping the dalvik cache, etc. I didn't have this many problems rooting my phone and putting on MIUI to begin with and have flashed ROMS before with no trouble....not really sure where I'm going wrong on this one.
Anyway, I'll await your reply.
Thank you!

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

remove the pg58img.zip from your sdcard so it won't scan and identify any pg58img.zip file
and don't restore your miui rom because probably is a gb one and now you have an ics firmware installed
just download an ics or jb rom
put it on your sdcard
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
done

With the phone being in a boot loop I can't get it detected by my computer to remove/add anything from the SD card. I do have the HD 7.3 ROM on and the Gapps that's required but it never makes it past the "beats audio" splash screen. I have no idea what's going on with it but will try any suggestions you've got up your sleeve.

Ahhhhh....I've gotten a fix for this!
I was unable to do anything because of the update zip which wanted me to update every time bootloader was initiated. By keeping my case off I removed my SD card to be able to boot in recovery and then put the SD card back in to load the HD 7.3 zip from the card. This seemed to take care of the problem.
Thanks for the help Rzr
