No one is going to say it?? Hey N00B!! you're in the wrong ****ing FORUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This noob doesn't even know how to check for his CID number. He shouldn't even be flashing ROMS, especially since he can't even read that this is the developer forums, so he can't read the directions on how to read a flash a rom.
Also to the illiterate noob who can't read, maybe you can hear, so hear this

Exactly what is wrong with you? You've posted almost exactly the same thing to the guy who posted in the dev forum about battery stats. Yes, he's a noob, we get it. And yes, it is annoying to see the same questions being posted over and over again because people can't read. And yes, I agree that no one in their right minds should be thinking about messing around with ROMs and firmwares unless they know exactly what they are doing.
But seriously. Grow up. Unless you're telling me you were born out of your mother's womb with all this awesome tech knowledge in your head. If that's truly the case then, please, educate us ignorant mortals.
Now, to the OP: have you read this thread? If you haven't, please go read it properly. I have no idea what on earth you did, you need to give us a step-by-step list of the things you did. I suspect that all you need to do is delete PG58IMG.zip from your SD card and flash a ROM.

Are there posts the only things you can post? > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25457315&postcount=2
Calm down and learn how to properly communicate with people.
Anyway, OP, I shall now describe what you must do:
1. Go to >this< guide and follow step 4 (STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID [YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS ONCE]).
2. Download >this< ROM and put it on your SD card.
3. Boot into the bootloader (when the phone is off, press vol. down + power) and select the recovery option.
4. In the recovery go to 'wipe | format' and select 'format all partitions'.
5. When that process is done, go to 'install from SD card', 'choose zip from SD card', go to the folder where the ROM is located and install it.
6. When the ROM is installed reboot your phone and wait until it has booted.
EDIT: hunter890 just posted a link to a guide, but you can also follow what I wrote. Might be easier for you.

tnx for replay and try to help me ..
and also tanks viktor .

i do STEP 4. WRITE SUPER CID .and my cid now 11111111
i have Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.13 ,,and put it on sd card ,
but when i start recovery nothing happen ,,black screen with error sign .

This has been covered 100 times, you can't flash ota with custom recovery. You can flash stock recovery using fastboot, you need a stock recovery.img.

That's very very very wrong. What you should do is just what I described on the previous page. The reason the ROM wouldn't boot was because you flashed the old Gingerbread version of ARHD which won't boot on HBOOT 1.27.
And I still don't understand why you want the untouched ICS from HTC. The versions here on the forum (as example ARHD I linked you to) are better optimized, have no bloatware etc.

ARHD is cooked out of the OTA package, so it contains the same languages and I'm sure you can use the same services.

[Q] WiFi not turning on. S-OFF Revolutionary

I'm coming from the Galaxy phones so I am totally lost with everything HTC. I was experience before that with my EVO 4G but, now I'm just completely stuck even after reading as much threads as I can. There are many posts similar to mine, but they don't contain the fix for my phone.
I traded my Captivate for a Sensation 4G. When I arrived home I realized the Wifi was not turning on. It was on ARHD 6.6.3. I've reflashed and flashed 6.6.4, then to Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 on Sebastian FM #1 Kernel. WiFi is dead. I tried the LogCat and it shows something about wifi not loading. I will provided the logcat if it helps.
Heres what my bootloader shows:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
And I have ext4 clockwork 1.0.0.4 (I think)
From my research. There shouldn't be a problem with kernel mismatch since I'm S-Off with Revolutionary. The guy that traded the phone with me won't reply back to what he did with the Sensation so I'm lost.
I checked the folders /data/misc/wifi and deleted the supplicant file, still no fix. Tried WiFix...didn't work.
I'm willing to go back to complete stock froyo or how the phone came in, but I want to be able to root. Because coming from an EVO I hear that once you RUU, you can return. So I'm afraid there.
Please provided me with the necessary steps to get my phone back to stock and easily go back to root/custom rom and wifi fix...

Can you do two things to fix wifi before returning to stock..
First I want you to verify this
1.go to 4EXT and under tools check whether there is an option called "smartflash" is there or not.
2.if it is there then disable smartflash.. It's for ppl with SON.. And causing problems for ppl who has soff
Them flash the rom again and see
If you didn't have smartflash option then try these two things
1.from whatever rom you have (i believe you have virtuous inquistion) extract the boot.img from the rom's zip file (inside kernels folder) and flash this via fastboot
Steps to do it
1. Copy the boot.img to adb folder of pc
2. Put your device in fastboot and connect it to your pc (mobile reads fastboot usb)
3. Flash the boot.img via fastboot
Command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2.Now the other part
.copy the files present in kernel/modules folder present in The rom's zip file and paste them in /system/lib/modules/ of your mobile (usw file explorer to do this)
This should/will solve your wifi problem

Before doing anything rather try this simple procedure. Install root explorer or app like that to have access to root level, den, you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else.
Remove it from there and move it to sdcard..
Restart de phone. Wifi should work now.

Firstly, thanks for replying to my thread/help.
I see no option for smartflash in my recovery. I've done the kernel flash through ADB also. All the kernels that were included with the rom I've tried (the only one that works without bootloop is SebastianFM's). Finally, I did what you told me to do with the manual transfer of Kernel files to my mobile. Something new that happened is that the wifi toggle is toggle-able, but it will only stay "Off".
Also for the second reply, I've already done the wifi_supplicant thing. But this time I also tried it in combo with the first help.
Can you guys tell me if use RUU, will it be hard to go back to root?

its best if we clean the device entirely
backup all your important stuff to sd-cadr..there are lots of backup apps ..use em
the safest way to clean the device is by RUU
first of all RUU ...cleans wipes every partition..but it still keeps you SOFF...so you can customize your device any way you want even after RUU run
i presume you are superCID (i.e. 11111111)
if you don't know that then chk it via fastboot first
command fastboot getvar cid
then if not supercid do it (you can revert back to your original cid whenever you wanted just remember your original cid or save it somewhere)
command to supercid fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)
then get any ICS RUU from this thread..(i suggest you to get the Europe one)
from this thread
if you are XE then get along this line
"RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe"
if you are normal get one along this line "RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5"
keep your device in fastboot and connect it to pc
then run the RUU.exe and follow the onscreen instructions
after running RUU...chk for wifi problem..if it still persists then try any GB RUU...even after that also wifi problem is there then im afraid it might be Hardware/antenna problem
if running RUU fixed your wifi problem
then either you can stick with it..or you can flash custom rom again and see

Thanks again for the thought out reply. Many people ditch my problem after the first time. :]
I checked and I am super cid.
Okay so, I hear its bad to flash a rom that was meant for another country...
I have the T-Mobule Sensation. Does it make a difference?
Also, pertaining to the RUU-- I read around that the RUU has to be older than the phone? On the battery case, I see a date the phone was released. Should I follow suit?
Thanks.

i had tmobile sensation too and i use it in INDIA...im using ARHD 6.6.3 and through wifi i watch atleast 10 videos in YouTube..so i guess wifi is not dependent on phone and all
the only problem you might(rarely face ) is signal and data bandwidth..its dependent on the region ...if you do face this signal issue pm me..i'll let you know the best solution
now regarding RUU...you are SOFF and supercid..that's all is required you can run any RUU...im saying it again ANY RUU so no worries regarding RUU run
anyways we are doing RUU run to just clean the stuff...
after running RUU (follow the steps Ive posted earlier) we'll install ARHD or any other custom rom again
get 3.32 fw from here firmware
its a PG** file so i assume you know how to update it
(this firmware flashing is to just get the revolutionary eng HBOOT as RUU run turns your HBOOT state to locked again) dont forget to remove the PG*** file from sdcard after the update is done
then
flashing recovery again
get latest 4EXT from here RECOVERY DB LINK
extract and put the recovery.img in your adb folder(pc)
then flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recover.img
then get the ARHD or whatever rom into Sdcard
go to recovery
first do a backup (safe keep)
then the important step(which solves petty issues if any like wifi error and all)
go to wipe|format and do "format all partitions except sdcard" this is powerful than superwipe...so superwipe is not required (i highly recommend this step when changing roms ...for upgrading roms this step is not required)
then flash the rom via recovery and ...enjoy

I've decided to grab the TMOUS version (to avoid possible signal issues?). Unless you recommend the Europe version...? The download is super slow so it's going to take awhile. Meanwhile, I'm backing up apps with TiBu and will do Nandroid.
As for flashing firmware-- I'll be grabbing the PG file and putting it to the root of my Microsd. And fastboot it from bootloader..? (referencing this tut: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-flash-pg58img-zip-ics-firmware-on-htc-sensation/).

as for tmous...why dont we try stock gb tmous ruu then...(anyways we gonna update the firmware and flash ICS)
here is the stock tmous thread ..download it from there..its superfast
TMOUS 1.50 GB RUU
then for firmware flashing..just keep the PG58IMG file(name should be checked) on top of sdcard and boot into bootloader...the bootloader itself will identify it and will ask for update .say yes and the fw will be updated...after that you should remove the PG** file from SDcard otherwise you cant boot into bootloader (coz everytime you boot into bootloader it'll find the file and ask you whether you want to update or not..it'll be a recursive process)
then flashing recovery and rom (see my earlier post)

Just got done with RUU. I'm sad to say it's not working. The wifi just flips on and off.... :[ : [ : [
Is there a froyo I can go back to? Maybe that will work?
And now the bootloader is locked.

Bootloader locked is fine.. As long as you are soff.. You can just flash unlocked firmware and then your bootloader will be revolutionary again
Just my wild guess.. Did you try checking the pins of wifi antennas? They will be on the back case

Wifi and Bluetooth both are causing issues means.. Antenna is screwed
Check the pins on the back of phone just above the camera lens.. Lift them up a bit also check the corresponding antennas on the he back cover..

exactly same problem with my sensation.
catlog says wifi driver couldnt load too.
wifi activate... and nothing happens.
internet trough cable (PC) works for you too?
I think my Wifichip is broken, how to repair it? any HTC technician here?^^
and if i use gingerbread i cant pass the first Rom settings, after the question of use wifi or mobile date/wifi i get a black screen and cant click anything. just powerbutton for standby and unlock ring.

[Q] Is my device bricked or what?

I know there are probably other threads that can help me but I'm really desperate here. I just got my Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) a few days ago and decided to root it and install a custom ROM. This is my first Android device so I followed a newb guide specifically for the Sensation 4G. However, I think I accidentally missed the step describing how to S-Off and I ended up trying to install Cyanogen Mod 9. It installed ok but I got stuck at the boot screen. From there, I tried restoring to a backup I made before installing Cyanogen but it didn't work. Now I'm stuck at the HTC logo. Can anyone help me out? Here are some more details about my device:

I think my firmware is 3.32 and the Android version was 4.0.3 although I guess there's nothing on it now.
EDIT: The latest guide I followed shows how to install/flash the stock ICS firmware but I couldn't update the firmware. It says "Parsing .zip" but doesn't go further than that.

I don't have 4ext recovery installed, only CWM. Is there a way to install it even though I can't boot into the phone?

Yeah, just have to flash another recovery (4ext) through fastboot.
If you look around the development section, you'd probably find a guide how to do it, if not PM me, and I'll give you the steps.

Have a look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Asskicker's guide, how to flash roms with S-ON. If you don't want to flash the 4ext recovery (I highly recommend to install it!) then you can do Step "EXTRA 1" from that guide and install "boot.img" from the downloaded rom. You find it in the zip file, in the kernel folder. But read the guide, there are plenty of very useful info in it! And to answer your question, No! Your phone is not bricked!

I have a bunch of ROMS that I've tried and they're all on my desktop. Only two of them have a kernels folder, so I guess the other two are using a stock kernel and I can't use them, right? I'll try following that thread you linked me to, hopefully it'll work this time.
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! Now if I wanted to install Cyanogen Mod 9 for example, which doesn't have that kernels folder, I would need to S-OFF first right?

If you want to install ROM's without being S-OFF I'm pretty sure you need 4EXT.
And for future reference to all who may find this thread down the road, if you can get into your Recovery (any recovery) your phone is almost certainly not bricked. You may have a lot of fixing to do, but it's almost certainly fixable.
When the splash screen doesn't even come up after hitting the power button or the charing light doesn't come on when plugged in...that's when it's time to worry. (And even then you may have options)

I did the wire-trick to S-OFF my device. WHen I first did that, my only option in the bootloader was RUU and I was about to ask you about that but took my battery out first. Now it's back to normal and it shows S-OFF. However, my microSD card is now completely wiped. I have a backup on my computer, so should I just copy the files back on there and try another ROM so that my WiFi will work?

copy your files into sdcard then reboot your device
about wifi you can flash the boot.img manually(maybe you do not need that because you are S-OFF now)
otherwise flash your rom again

Haha I was waiting for that "Up the Irons." My username is pretty much the same on every site I register on so I always get that. Anyway, I'm not sure what's going on with the WiFi but I'm going to try a different ROM and hope WiFi works there.

what kind of ROM were you trying to install? It looks like you haven't updated your firmware. and I'm guessing you're trying to flash a JB or ICS rom

So the solution is to updated the firmware and after that install a customized rom, as easy as that?

if you're trying to install a ICS/JB rom yes. the link I posted should cover all threads related to your problem. read on from there.
Don't take it lightly since you probably made that mistake already . Read thourougly and follow the steps in that guide and flash ARHD ROM to get your phone working again. after that you can always flash any other rom using Mike's superwipe. always make a nand backup ofc.
Flashing FW is crucial, so check md5 and read all to avoid missing any crucial steps or doing something wrong.

[Q] Desperate - Need Help

Two years ago I had this phone and I wanted to flash. I did. I don't remember all the details of it, but I do know that someone on here helped me flash it and it ended up with a European(?) flash on it and I remember he helped me do something with the radio in order that it would take the flash. I also remember that the reason for the flash was so that TMO wouldn't charge me for tethering. In any case, here's the current situation. I sold the phone and the person came and said they were having issues... so I was trying to restore it to a TMOUS ROM. Eventually, I bricked it, and got the qualcom download mode issue. I found the thread on that on how to fix it, and I did. Now the phone boots to the recovery screen and does nothing else. I am unable to flash ANY of TMO's RUU's, some of the PG58IMG.zip files that I've been able to find all fail... very frustrating.
I followed another thread that talked about how to unlock the bootloader, which involved copying the Identifier Token and sending it in to HTC. I received the response, and ran the command and was successful in unlocking it. When the device rebooted, it even showed the Tmobile animated logo. When I go back into the boot loader, it now reads:
My bootloader screen reads as follows:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

JAN 13 2012.17:33:34
Software info shows:
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 3.6
Software number: Blitz_2.0.0
Kernel: 3.0.16-gda3fdfc
[email protected]#1
Baseband version: 11.76A3504300U_11.24A.3504.31_M
Build Number 3.33.401.106 CL391535 release-keys
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
At this point, I would try any flash, any rom, any thing to get this phone working for the guy again. I am skittish about flashing anything from this point so I don't mess up and have to start all over somewhere. Can I flash something working from this point? Can I flash a TMO RUU from here?
I have the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_RADIO_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed.exe as well as several others. Id' rather put this phone onto something stock from tmo but will do a custom as long as the phone is restored to working order.
I won't say I'm a newb... but having been away from flashing for a while, I could really use some step by steps to get going again.
The computer I am using to flash with is a Windows XP machine with all the HTC drivers working etc.
**** UPDATE ****
The phone now boots up as it did when this all started. After I did the token thing and got the bin file from HTC, I applied it and the result was the boot loader info above. It got past the tmobile animated logo and actually into the phone starting up as new including applying all the settings I want. Awesome that the phone now functions like a phone again, but I would still like to flash an official TMO Rom to it to restore it back to like out of the box condition. Any help is appreciated.

I actually have read that... like 6 times to make sure I'm not missing anything. I do remember having to flash the radio back when I did my original flashing, and I think that process is preventing me from using any of the RUU's that I find. Are there any posts/files/resources that will help me flash the radio back to its default, so that I can then flash the RUU?
Also, I am S-ON already, but ANY RUU that I try to flash fails. Do I need to go to S-OFF and then RUU, then back to S-ON?

CID is 11111111
I think I have it licked now.
Used the universal firmware and the viper 5.2.1 flash and it loaded just fine. Never got S-OFF on it, but the viper flash so far is working excellent.

how do you have supercid with S-ON?
also how did you flashed the universal firmware while on S-ON?
those two things can be done only on S-OFF

Wish I could tell you.... hence the reason for the original help request.
I can tell you that I hit softbrick on it once and had to unbrick in linux.
Then I got the LOCKED with Security Warning. Then I got the unlock bin file from HTC Dev, used that and got back to UNLOCKED, with no security warning. Then I tried Rumunner without any success at all, stayed S-ON.
in any case, after trying just about everything I could think of, I found the viper post, saw that you said you don't need S-OFF to flash new rom... so i gave it a shot. Updated EXT, flashed the firmware, then the rom and it all went very smoothly. Phone's been working fine since. <shrug>
