[Q] flashing firmware not from hboot? - HTC Sensation

Hello everybody, after trying to get to stock I've ended up in a peculiar situation, I have s-on but my hboot is also 1.23 so revolutionary can't helpe there. Is there any way that I can flash a firmware file apart from through the hboot method? Any way?
Stock ruu files don't work for me I always get unknown error 155 even though its the correct radio any everything.
Thanks

Not on 1.23, no fastboot commands, no exploit in that firmware. Sorry, to date no one has been able to change h boot from 1.23.

[Q] TMO US Sensation, HBOOT 1.20.0000, S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader

I ran the revolutionary utility to get S-OFF. According to my hboot screen, I now have S-OFF. Step 2 is to install recovery which is where I am stuck. When I plug my phone into my PC (phone in HTC Sync mode; not the hboot screen), I get "pyramid, with hboot 1.20 is not supported". Looking at my hboot screen, I see...
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
Dec 15 2011, 21:14:10
At this stage, should I just follow the HTCDev process to unlock the bootloader? Not sure where to proceed.
Any attempts to flash a recovery using PG58IMG on the SD Card immediately generates "incorrect model id" error. After reviewing this post, I tried the Android Flasher utility, but it gives a no permission error.
you should be able to go back down to 1.17 eng boot with IMG.zip file, you are still s-off so should pass through
I tried the ENG hboot posted on this thread. I loaded the zip file onto the root of my SD card. Boot phone into hboot. Device starts to read the file and then reports: "model ID incorrect!".
Here is a pic of my hboot screen: h t t p : / / img542.imageshack.us/img542/4936/imag0197n.jpg
Since my hboot currently reads LOCKED, do you think i should unlock it from HTCDev? Then, in theory, i should be able to flash different hboot/recovery.
Fixed!! I installed the latest RUU for my carrier from this thread. The RUU restored my device, radio, hboot [1.17.0008], & recovery back to it's original state [S-On]. Device is now back to the way it was when i opened the box.
After that, I was able to re-run Revolutionary and this time it worked. I now have S-OFF, correct hboot, and rooted stock ROM.
wow my device become like your S-OFF, LOCKED bootloader..
will do your method this evening
hi, im really new to this, I'm getting the sensation t-mobile version, would getting my phone on s-off be gsm unlocking my phone?

no this does not carrier unlock the phone, it unlocks security to the phone for deving purposes/or installing custom recoverys,and Rom builds,
there is way to carrier unlock there is guide on how to do that but you do need to be rooted

ADB doesn't found the device
Solved
I've found the RUU of my carrier, now I debrandized it with SuperCID and I installed a RUU ICS
Anyway the Bootloader still says ***LOCKED***, but it works
HBOOT modelId incorrect, the phone restarting with white screen
HI,
I did S-OFF using the revolutionary.io and when it asked for upgrade given Y, but it failed. But the S-OFF is done on my HTC sensation 4G. but when i copied the PM58IMG.zip and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed on my SD card root. and starting in HBOOt first its asked for upgrade and pressed yes then it shown the below error
modelID incorrect.
from now on my HTC is not starting just the white screen with HTC then to HTC quitely brillient then repeating same. please help me how to solve this.
the HBOOT is now 1.27 before S-OFF its 1.18
thanking you inadvance
n00b question guys.
i just got a used Sensation. mine says ****LOCKED****
but next line says S-OFF.
does it mean my bootloader is unlocked?
i'm confused because i went to htc dev and got the unlock.bin file for my sensation. the problem is when i get to the final yes/no screen, i can only choose NO option. no matter how many times i press power button on yes, it won't work. only when i choose "no",it will reboot.

[Q] S-OFF on HBOOT 1.20

Is there an S-OFF available for HBOOT 1.20? Saw "locked" after flashing 1.20 and S-ONed phone. Finally unlocked using htcdev but nothing I found could help me downgrade HBOOT and do S-OFF again. Do not have SuperCID atm.
there is a thread on this your still rooted even though it says s on
Yeah, I am still rooted and can get into recovery and flash ROMs. But I am having issues with signal and I cannot flash anything because 1.20 does not support fastboot commands. I would like to downgrade but cannot. I tried flashing the customized p85img.zip with my CID T-MOB010 and it would just return to menu w/o any messages.
Make sure it's p85img in the file name.
Don't INSERT .zip at the end. It should automatically be a .zip file.
The file is named correctly.
There is a thread here ima try and find it were you can revert back to hboot 1.17.0000

i m facinf d same problm wit my sensation with bootloader unlocked thro htc dev. i m unable 2 flash any radios. Even i m unable to flash any custom firmware also. I need ur help if u found any solution.
either downgrade your hboot to 1.17 or update to ics 3.24 which has hboot 1.27 (unlocked) and you will have advance fastboot commands
Same exact problem here, semi-bricked my phone before I went over to Htcdev.... attempting to flash a p85img for HBOOT 1.17 or any p85img does nothing but parse it. Searched all day today couldn't find a thing to help...Others have suggested just waiting until Revolution comes out with an Unlock for 1.20 but I'm determined to find a solution for us.

[Q] hboot 1.23 & s-on problem

Hi,
I have sensation with hboot 1.23 s-on, unlocked with official htcdev and custom rom installed.
I can't flash any RUU, even it's original orange UK RUU, I can't s-off with revolutionary because max hboot version is 1.18 and can't unlock network!!
any ideas?
pls help...
Flash previous Firmware, see if work .
Same problem here but I am stuck on 1.20. No firmware can be flashed, neither through RUU or PG58IMG.zip. RUU flashing ends with message security failed, update failed. PG58IMG.zip simply returns to menu after parsing. Fastboot returns with "remote, not allowed".
Please help !

When I tried an ICS rom, I flashed the 1.20 hboot and firmware. All I had to do to get rid of 1.20 hboot was flash the PG58IMG.zip of the eng hboot.

If you are s-on you can't flash anything. You have to wait until revolutionary updates to 1.23

How did you guys end up with S-On?
Were you S-On before flashing hboot 1.23 or you just flashed an old official RUU over 1.23?

Revolutionary won't S-off for 1.23 in near future...:-/
Pure stupidity for me. I usually pay more attention to what's going on. When I flashed firmware that contained HBOOT 1.20 it did flash 1.20 but got stuck in bootloader mode and did not update radio.
I followed with attempt to downgrade to 1.17 and restore S-On so I could repeat revolutionary. When it simply returned to the menu w/o any error (but in fact stayed on 1.20) I did writesecureflag 3.
So the best I did was unlock bootloader through HTCDEV. I am still however stuck at 1.20, old radio and while I can flash roms, I cannot flash radio or hboot or RUU. normally I would just wait it out but wi-fi does not work in new roms for me, prob because of old radio.
I have the same problem, and there are many people have the same problem. Hope revolutionary would support hboot 1.23. But previous revolutionary s-off the bootloader when phone is on.

Use adb as alternative to pg58img to flash recovery as per the guide.
Flashing the boot.img part of the ruu then gives you downgraded bootloader enabling you to s-off.

try the tmous 1.29 version. worked for me. If you installed the latest firmware the 1.29 RUU will give you a little trouble. Just follow the prompts and run it again if need be; it may say you have a bad recovery or bootloader whatever.If it says that it will give you options to fix it. then close and re-run the RUU. 1.29
OK downloading 1.29 as I write this! Will give it a go and report! Thanks
Downloaded and tried to install TMOUS 1.29 and same thing Error 155

How to get eng S-off

Before everyone jumps all over my a$$ and directs me to a "guide", here's the situation.
I ran the revolutionary S-off tool once before
Somehow I am now "SHIP S-OFF"

I've searched and searched but I gave up. Does anyone know what to do from here?

If you intend to run ICS 1.17 is no bueno. You can just flash the 1.17 h boot. It's in the development forum.

Thanks for the help. I'm sure it has been covered many times before.
I don't want to paint myself into a corner, so tell me if this the right order of things:
Flash 1.17 HBOOT
S-off
flash original RUU
Boot up and flash new radio for the ROM I want (Revolution HD)
flash new ROM
Can I cut any of these steps out?
I can't flash firmware until I'm S-off
Cant S-off until I go HBOOT 1.17
I flashed the 1.17 HBOOT and it said I was CID:11111111
After flashing firmware 3.32, it says CID:TMOB010. WTF? Do I have to SuperCID each time?

Are you checking from fastboot with adb or terminal? Terminal will show your original cid. Fastboot shows your actual cid. I only ever had to super cid once and I flash firmwares all the time.
