Is it possible that my 2.3.4 update isn't working because of my clockwork recovery image ? Because if that is the case I would like to revert to the stock recovery image.
With clockwork my update gets stuck in the android with the yellow triangle and I have to pull my battery to reboot.
I have build GRI54
Can anyone tell me where to find that recovery image ? And hope that that is the issue that my update won't install.
Thnx in advance.
Your probably trying to install the ota update file .. That will not work on your gri54 not even on stock recovery .. Go to the general section and downlaod the 2.3.4 full rom for gri54 . You can install that even with cwm ..
Thnx, after not booting anymore, googling a lot updating the CWM recovery it suddenly started to update my phone and also wiping it. But now I have 2.3.4 unrooted.
Had something strange a long the way of getting there. the boot partition couldn't be formated anymore. The latest version of clockwork fixed that i guess.

Ok so I was running the ICS version of InsertCoin 4.3.0 which I flashed via CWM. I decided to install 4ext but had not used it to flash a rom yet. Today I downloaded the NEWEST version of InsertCoin 4.3.2 and tried to install it with 4EXT, at which point I was stuck in a boot loop. (I did upgrade the firmware according to the thread) Now EVERY rom I try to flash gives me a boot loop. I noticed on my bootloaded screen it says LOCKED at the top.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Hi,
Did you delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card after it flashed the firmware?
Probably pg58 file its says locked but just ignore that its unlocked, if it's not the pg58 try again do a full wipe with 4ext and reflash rom

I had to remove my sd card and delete it via my computer...bam worked fine after that
I have the same problem but cannot get into the recovey modus...
If i try to get into it, in first it shows a green circle and then a red marking and it stops...
A factory reset doesnt work either...First it shows it is loading data but then it starts looping again...
I had ICS RUU installed...
HBOOT 1.23.0000
This Noob is a bit stuck
maybe you have to flash new firmware 3.24?

You have to flash the lastest firmware (HERE)
If you still have the bootloop, put your SD card in your pc and delete the PG58IMG (that's the firmware). Put the SD card back in your phone go to recovery mode and flash the rom.
That's how I did it.
But it looks like it has overwritten the recovery tool...?
Try to flash this, maybe this will help ;-)
what hboot do you have? 1.23? or 1.27?
The .23.
I have started it in USB boot and was able to start the RUU from my laptop and installed it again... pffff at last i got it working on the latest test release again but cannot enter de recovery tool anymore...
The .27 version...
The RUU does work now but when i try to get in the recoverymode it stops so i quess the instalation has messed up the recovery mode...

I had the same problem. Solved it by installing a compatible (to the new firmware) rom, like InsertCoin 4.3.2. So, the procedure is:
1. Install firmware by putting PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card
2. remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sd card (otherwise it wopnt let you get to the menu to install zip from sd)
3. install InsertCoin 4.3.2 from sd card
Me too
Hey guys,
I'm having the same problem after flashing the new firmware.
The phone shows it updated to 1.27 but it still either bootloops or stays stuck
on thye white htc screen ...
i've tried removing the pg58img.zip, 4ext wipe, restoring my back up, and flashing back to the 1.17 fw but none of it seems to work.
Am i missing a step?
At this point i'd like to just get it back to Gingerbread and my old rom.
Can any one help?
Thanks in advance...
Hi all,
I have a problem with my Sensation due to my own fault.
I want to flash ARHD ICS rom to my phone, and I started with rooting my Sensation. I followed all instruction til installing the Recovery (PG58IMG).
I downloaded two versions of PG58IMG (one for ICS and one for the other), but I copied the firmware for ICS version to my SD card and already installed it. Now, my phone already S-off but cannot reboot into homescreen. It keeps rebooting it self in white hTC screen (after I installed the ICS firmware).
I don't know how to fix. I tried to read the troubleshoot in the post but I still cannot fix it. Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks in advance

If I understand you correctly you flashed the firmware upgrade BEFORE you flashed the new ICS rom? If so you'll need to get your sdcard card out (and get your computer to read it) so you can rename the PG85img on your sdcard so you can get back into recovery so you can flash the new ICS rom.

Yes, I flashed the upgraded firmware before not only I flashed ICS rom, but also I get rooted. Now, I can't flash any rom as well as su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip or su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.
It still keep bootlooping. I tried to flash the other firmware, but it showed 'CID incorrect'. I don't know how to fix now
Did you check MD5 Sums before you flashed the ROM because it sounds like a bad download so re-download the ROM and reflash

I did check MD5 sums for all files I downloaded and it is corrected.
Now, I'm curious that whether it is possible to flash the upgraded firmware before being rooted.
And of course you need to be using the right version of the firmware for the rom you want to flash. Mike's latest uses 3.24 per here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I don't know if you can get into fastboot or not, but you should be able to check the CID of your phone there, and download the right firmware for your phone. If your phone is carrier independent (i.e. didn't get on contract) then the HTC__xxx variety should be good.

Thank you so much for your link. I can boot my Sensation into the homescreen now. For my problem, I have to download and flash the older version (3.17) to fix it.
Thanks all of you for your reply again.
+1 for me, solve with a new download .
Just flash the Mod, the bootloop is normal.
I got the same problem, before i flashed Revolution Rom i used that radio package. After the radio package flash, my phone wass stuck in a bootloop.
I took the memory card out en removed the zip file en flashed the revolution rom. After that my phone started normal.
SOrry for the bad enlgish.
Good luck mate.
hey, guys i just had the same problem, kinda. lol
anyways my phone is rooted, s-off and superCID
when i went to install the new ics rom i did everything this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
said to do and when the new root booted up for the first time, it would go up to the beats audio logo,( the ics rom with beats audio (xe)) then like restart back to the htc startup logo, then beats again then htc again, it just kept doing this..??
so i just deleated everything and restored back to origional backup rom.
so what did i do wrong?
a bad download link/file? can u give me a good one?
thanks, any help is greatly appreciated as iam totally lost right now...
edit:
also do i even need this file (PG58IMG.zip.) to flash the ics rom if my phone is superCID ??? iam confused on that part.
nevermind, figured it out and got it work! the new ics is pretty sweet!!
thanks for everything- towards all the developers and testers on here
Cool. The answer is yes of course. The firmware file contains a specific radio / hboot / etc version. The ROM you download and install is dependent on certain combinations of the firmware versions you have. The super cid just allows you to flash any of the firmwares available here... Otherwise you have to find the specific one for your region and/or carrier.
Also, don't forget you can use an adb logcat while your phone is booting to see if you can diagnose any boot-looping issues. Just run that command on your PC with your phone attached via USB cable

To do so,
1. Download the correct firmware version ( PG58IMG.zip V3.24 ) and copy it to the root of your SDCARD.
Be 200% sure that the downloaded zip file is not corrupted. ( Check the MD5 checksum after you download)
2. Pull Back the battery and wait for a minute.
3. Put the battery and press POWER+VOLUME Down Key together.
4. Your phone will detect the firmware.
5. Follow the screen and complete the flashing.
6. Download the ICS based ROM of your favor.
7. Boot into recovery and flash your rom.

No you didn't do everything the thread said to do because you're stuck in a bootloop. And yes, you must have correct firmware to run any ICS ROM.
1. SuperCID.
2. Load correct firmware for ROM version you wish to flash (there are 3 different firmwares, 3.06, 3.12 and 3.24. Make sure you've got the right one.
Put PG58IMG.zip on the root of your damn SD card.
Put the ROM you want on the root of your damn SD card.
Put a wipe or superwipe script on the root of your damn SD card.
So far it's easy, no?
Boot to bootloader, select FASTBOOT, select yes to update.
Watch the phone. You should see it flash some partitions, reboot itself, then flash the radio and some other crap.
When done you should be at correct HBOOT and radio.
Now, pull the battery. Pull the SD card.
Insert the battery. Start the phone with power + Volume down.
Move cursor to recovery.
Insert SD card and select recovery.
Flash the wipe script, flash the ROM.
Now if you did everything exactly like this, you will boot to normal phone in about 10 minutes or so.
This has been spelled out 50 times in 50 threads, including threads devoted to nothing but this procedure.
Your phone is a machine. It can only do what you tell it to do. If you screw up, it's screwed up. If you do everything exactly right, in the right order, carefully checking each step, your phone will behave.
Try again.
Do it right. Do it carefully.

You need to go back to the older firmware, 3.12, you can find it in the firmware thread.
You have to revert back to at least 3.24. 3.25 is not compatible with gb roms...
P.s this is wrong place to post

do the exact same as you donr to upgrade your firmware but choose the d/level one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
This is the best way I have found to do it.
2. Best way is to place Firmware PG58IMG.zip, ROM and Superwipe script on the root of your SD Card.
3. Shut down phone and remove SD card.
4. Boot phone to Bootloader (Power+Vol down).
5. Move selection to Recovery, but don't select yet.
6. Insert SD, then select Recovery.
7. Flash Superwipe (ARHD Superwipe will reboot when done, others may not) & then Flash ROM.
8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.
9. Watch the flash. It will flash 3 or 4 things, then reboot to bootloader. Don't panic when screen goes dark. Bootloader will come back and it will finish flashing.
10. Now select reboot.
11. Wait (up to 10 minutes) for ROM to boot up.
sorry not very good in forums, though thats a place to ask a question... like about firmware.. Respect for georgia -)))
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

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
