I was trying to install the new Android Revolution HD ICS Rom, I installed it through ROM Manager and it wouldn't boot up. I thought I would try and update my phone with PG58IMG.zip in the bootloader, however it says the CID is wrong, and I now can't access anything in the bootloader or recovery to try and fix it. Anyone got any ideas of something I can do? To at least remove PG58IMG.zip from my SD Card anyway.
Thanks
Umm...pull out the SD card before booting the phone...? Maybe...? -_-

Yeah, sorry. I didn't think that Recovery would be able to do anything without SD Card, but it can. *noob moment* :$
Do you know why Android Revolution HD won't boot up after being flashed? It's the same version you have according to your signature.

I believe you had to change your cid. But I'm not positive. Do you have firmware 3.24 installed and not 3.12?

Just follow the steps carefully on Mike's thread and you won't have any problems. Just take the time to read them.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Sounds to me like you don't have SuperCID.
In order to be able to flash the firmware that Mike provides, you need to have SuperCID.
Check the tutorial on how to do that in the S-Off,Root,SuperCID thread here.
I have S-OFF, however the bootloader says locked? I now can't boot into any ROM it seems. Not sure what's wrong?
EDIT: Managed to get boot by restoring old backup. Now going to try flashing ROM again, could be something to do with ICS Rom maybe. Thanks for your help everyone. However anyone who knows why I can't flash any ICS Rom, please let me know
U also need 3.12 firmware if upgrading to ics. Correct me if i am wrong.

Weird bc i just looked in rom manager and cant locate that rom. Rom manager isnt going to put ics roms that require supercid and firmware 3.12 bc if they did alot of ppl would be bricking their sensations and blowing up the comments on the rom manager app.

S-OFF doesn't give you root. You have to flash a PG(somenumbersican'tremember).zip file and you will have root then (read the sticky in dev section)

please read
do you know where the zip file is in the dev section? or is there any way you can post the link please thank you i do not know where it is in the dev section

If you're a n00b then you shouldn't really even be trying this. You should really know what you're doing before jumping in head first and then expect us to bail you out. Not to sound harsh but it's the truth
Well I am a nooob at getting the root back to can someone please help me
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Since you're having so much trouble flashing the su .zip file, I would recommend skipping it in favor of a pre-rooted ROM.
Go to the DEV section and pick a ROM. I'm using LeeDroid right now. Download the ZIP file and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into Clockwork (either with VOLUME DOWN or use the command "adb reboot recovery" if you have adb) and flash the ZIP of the new ROM. I've found that my stock Sensation ROM hated Superuser. YMMV

Try it again. I believe, from reading the troubleshooting part of the noob guide, that you may have to try to flash it a few times. I had to try 2-3 times and then it just worked. Make sure you read that guide+troubleshooting part thoroughly incase some of it applies to you. Or, if you want a ROM as well, skip it all and read up on flashing a ROM. Make sure you understand what you are doing, as you can royally mess up!

plz help. rooted sensation. I was running sense-o-maniac rom but switched to an ics rom using 4ext recovery but then my phone didnt start after 1 hour so i tried to put it into hboot and it said that no image or something and then asks ffor an update. When i do that update it reboots and gets stuck again but if i dont i cant press to go back only reboot where it gets stuck. What do i do? i am willing too do a full wipe or ANYTHING just gte me into recovery.PLEASE
Did you flash the recovery using hboot (pg58img.zip) If so remove it from your SD card (use an adaptor or just remove the SD and see if you can get to hboot as normal.

And if that's the case, you can put a Gingerbread ROM on the SD card and reflash that one. Should spin right up.
IF this is your problem
Yes most probably the problem is due to the flashing of the firmware. First flash the firmware required for ICS ROMS and then install the ROM, should work out fine for you
ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help
Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!
can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.
If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.

Do you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33? Did you do a wipe before flashing? I'm s off and before I installed viper I wipe cash, wipe dalvik , wipe data factory reset (do this in 4ext recovery) stay in recovery choose zip from sd card , flash, reboot.
It should be fine if you follow those steps and Are using the correct firmware.hope this helps.

Try it as I told you and it should work, wiping is very important. You do have 4 ext recovery don't you? 4 ext makes things very easy, . Just remember to wipe before installation. Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your sensation!

First download the universal 3.33 firmware then you install it from the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
To put the firmware on your device put the pg58img file on root of sd card then reboot into bootloader by removing battery put battery back in, press volume down and power your device will recognize the file and ask to upgrade volume up for yes. It will upgrade then remove the file off the sd card or it will continue to want to update. This is how you install firmware
It seems like a lot but once you do it you won't forget.
