I just bought a Inspire 4g that only goes into the hboot and I want to restore it back to factory to root and use. Or straight root from there if possible.
Any suggestions appreciated.
This is why I love XDA.

You are S-ON so you won't be able to flash a PD98IMG.zip file. To put your phone back to work you can use this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
Or you can go to www.htc.com and in the support site you can download the original Gingrebread update and run the .exe file.
Follow the instructions in the htc site and you will be using your cell within 20 - 25 minutes.
Actually you can flash a pd98img, THOUGH not any one will work as it has to be officially signed by HTC since its son.

Yeah after I wrote it I realised it....but you said it first!!....
This thread helped me fix my soft bricked Inspire http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390677&page=2 . The file that saved me was found in post #16. Worked like a charm.

Ok, I did something really stupid although I knew that it might have consequences. I s-offed via Revolutionary and flashed a new rom. Then I noticed that my phone, that I just got back today from repair, wasn't able to pull down the status bar.
After installing a Test App, I realized that the new phone had a failure and needs to get back to repair...and then the failure happend.
My phone is branded t-mobile and I tried the "how to s-off version from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187231 ), although it noticed that it is for non-branded phones. Just wanted to get back to something "normal"
Well, after using the RUU for TMO_DE (I'm from germany) there was a error message that it wasn't the right RUU version, and got me back to hboot.
And here is my problem: Now my hboot is s-on (0.98.0000) and everything is deleted (recovery, rom) and I have no idea what to do....did I brick my desire s now? is there any chance to put it back to life, aside from hboot?
Thanks a lot in advance, and sorry for my english...
English fine.
First question? What exactly does HBOOT screen say? are you S-OFF still?
If you can put device into HBOOT then you can put it into FASTBOOT
So Connect PC via USB and run a RUU that you want on phone
Thx,
no, that is the problem, i am s-on now, it exactly:

Which RUU did you try.....full name?
you could try this one (or is that the one you just did try?)
RUU_Saga_TMO_DE_1.30.111.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_3 8.03.02.11_M_release
I tried:
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release
RUU_Saga_TMO_DE_1.30.111.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_3 8.03.02.11_M_release

RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed
The only difference using the TMO RUU is, that the error is 140, not 131...but the error message is the same.
I had the same problem with s-on and everything else deleted. Send phone to warranty service and when phone came back, they said they had to replace phone's mothearboard. It's impossible to do something else to make it work

That sounds like a good idea, as it's now s-on they'll have no evidence that you did anything wrong, unless of course you admit it

Ok thanks, I already guessed that this might be the last solution.
I'll report back if they made it under "warranty" (and if not, what the price was I had to pay )
Ok I was at the t-mobile shop, and they said it will be replaced under warranty, I should come back tomorrow to get my new desire s. (I'm not sure if it really will be there tomorrow, but at least in a few days)

Ok, I got my new Desire S today, replaced under warranty, everything fine now I guess I won't do any strange experiments now, but I guess I can't keep my fingers from rooting it and replacing the stock rom with custom.
Anyways, thanks a lot guys

Can i just flash the clockworkmod PG58IMG.zip and then flash a custom rom without using the revolutionary.exe?
The locked bit at the top is the official HTC locking/unlocking message. If you go through the HTC website to unlock the boot loader it'll then say 'unlocked'
The S-OFF means 1 of two things:
1. You have a device S-OFF from the factory, or;
2. Someone returned it after unrooting and didn't S-ON the device again

So i guess i'm good to install cwm and flash away?
edit: all sorted now
I have same issue as OP, but my H-BOOT's 1.27.0000
I can't flash **** through Fast boot, says not allowed -_-
I managed to get S-OFF via Rev, worked flawlessly gained root and did the downloading CWM, flashed Virtuous Inquisition and successfully got the on screen buttons working via decompiling-editing recompiling the framework-res.apk.
But I am utterly clueless as to why today, I find the ***Revolutionary*** has been replaced with ***Locked***
Anything I gotta do? Or just leave it?
If your s off, locked means nothing.

It just means that your bootloader is the locked variety so you can't do some extended fastboot commands such as 'fastboot flash splash1 nameofimg.img' to replace the splash screen and a few other less common commands. I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to replace the splash image, check here.
Look in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
You'll find an unlocked version of 1.27.1100 (3.24 Unlocked). It was unlocked by one of the Revolutionary team as far as I know.

I've got shot of the Sensation now anyway, my kid threw up on it >_< so I joined the trendy crowd (only cause it was the best my jnsuarance would replace it with) and got an SGSII
Hilariously enough, my first impression is, I don't like touchwiz and want to flash a different ROM lol

Whatever I see from ur information I suggest you to get ur bootloader unlocked by HTC devs. Reason is u got second hand mobile so anyway you don't have warranty. Other thing check is it super cid If not get it done then start flashing. You will have less problem and if you stuck will get quick resolution.

I'm not so sure, when I used the HTCDev page to unlock the boot loader on my first Sensation, I followed all the steps to the letter and it hard-bricked the device. Used Revolutionary with the replacement one, worked flawlessly

but wanted to ask before I procced is any problem that my HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile is Unlocked and I am using it in Europe (Albania) should I use a different RUU or the original one will be Fine...last question
If you're returning it to STOCK then you use the one it came with. However, if you're not sending it back to TMOUS (which I don't think you are) then you could just flash the EU 1.50.401.1 RUU

Hello,
I'm a complete noob.
My sensation 4G has decided to stop working. (HTC start up screen loops) I sent my phone to HTC but they want to take all my money. Phone repair guy says it just needs new software update, but wont do it for me. SO Ive tried flashing ROMs but it seems I dont have the correct ones. Some have CID error, some have MID error. Is this the right thing to do?
I really need to find a ROM that is compatible with my phone. I dont need anything fancy, just one that will let me text people and maybe even make a call. :crying:
I have unlocked using HTC dev.

It seems that your phone was shipped as S-OFF. It's quite rare, but it does happen. Just flash recovery and treat your phone as S-Off.

Once you have a custom recovery installed you can, yes. It will be super easy.
Getting S-Off is the hard part. Since you already have it, it's an easy road for you.

It is possible, but there are also phones that were shipped as S-Off. You can know if your phone was used befor by removing the back cover, after some use it tends to collect some dust. Replacing the back cover itself is easy and it makes the phone look new. However, if your phone functions properly, there is absolutely no problem.
Enjoy your new Sensation
