So tried to update when the HBOOT 1.20 firmware leak came out and the update failed. I panicked and did something stupid, while trying to revert to stock I managed to remove SuperCID and put S-ON back on. For awhile I was stuck in bootloader loop. Finally I used htcdev to unlock bootloader and now I have custom recovery and able to flash custom ROMs.
One problem, no WIFI with latest ROMS and I absolutely cannot flash anything that seems to touch HBOOT.
RUUs do not work (black HTC screen, show security failure, update failed after USB is disconnected). RUU log shows unknown failure.
P58IMG.zip (with older or newer HBOOT, or repackaged RUU, does not matter) simply return to the bootloader with no messages.
Fastboot flash attempts fail with error 99.
modelid: PG5810000
cid: T-MOB010
bootloader shows UNLOCKED HBOOT 1.20 S-ON
Please help ! I need either a solid idea how to downgrade so I can revolutionary or at the very least an idea on how to fix WIFI.
I did the same thing, semi-bricked in until I went to htcdev.....as far as your wifi goes, that may be fixed with a new radio...but your is the same as mine and my wifi is working fine, it takes a L O N G time to connect after finding a network though...no clue how to fix your wifi my friend. I have been and still am searching all day for a solution, I think if we can figure out how to get our HBOOT back to 1.18 or below we can use Revolutionary and start from scratch...but this seems to be a problem no one has come up with a fix for. If you find anything let me know and I will do the same.
Hello,
I think the problems that you are facing are due to "S-ON" and the Radio. Try flashing a new radio and try attaining S-Off from HERE
The problem is due to S-ON and mismatched kernel. I cannot however flash radio as 1.20 does not support partial flashes. I guess I am stuck waiting for either official ICS or revolutionary update.

Can you try again using your original RUU, which part does it stop or says fail?

Have you tried downgrading the RUU to 1.17?
Here is the snippet of the RUU log (TMOUS 1.27.531.2). On the HBOOT screen it says Security Fail! Update Fail!

When attempting to downgrade to 1.17 via P58img.zip it simply returns to the menu after "parsing".
Wow. Have u tried the img from a diff source?

Try using the ruu.exe to downgrade all the way to 1.17. There will be at one time you will get stuck with some error(i forgot, but i do get that), so simply just follow what the the guide asked you to. Remember there will be one time where it will asked you to removed the battery, do remove and put in back but instead of turning on as per normal what you need to do is to enter your phone to fastboot and then bootloader and resume again by pressing next. I manage to get the ruu.exe to complete its full restoration.
Edit: i cant replicate that right now as im on sense 3.0, I have to get back to where my siggy in order to do so.
I am in the same boat.. Same situation and Same Results.. To the poster above doing the RUU 1.17 does not work even after you follow the trouble shooting. I have spent at least 20 hrs working on my phone and nope, I have started threads and nope, I have even tried to disect the RUU and tweak security files to allow it to by pass the fact that it finds a newer image than what i'm trying to put on there, It went further but still nothing.
I believe we must wait until a newer RUU comes out that is newer than the 1.72 image we have. Or until Revo updates to 1.20HBOOT support.
Remove the SD card and try again
Thats weird. I had couple of times switched from s-ons to s-offs and vice versas, from all firmwares and even back to the native firmware without issues. Sorry not much else I can help with.
I ran an RUU that was a higher image than what I have, and still no luck there, and no luck booting the phone up into fastboot and restarting the RUU either. If I could find a way to flash a new radio to match my ROM (revo hd 3.6.13) I would settle for s-on until somebody comes out with something to s-off 1.20 and up.

Just because the RUU is a higher image doesn't mean it will work if you don't have SUPER CID, and you can't obtain SUPERCID in this state.
You have to have the RUU from your carrier/country and it must be newer than your image. So me, I am waiting for the official Tmobile RUU ICS

Remove the SD card and try what again? Try the RUU again? Which one? Any of them? What would the SD card have to do with not passing the Security check put in place regarding the image file?
If you downgrade the hboot back to 1.17 doesn't that break functionality of ics roms? Just curious.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using XDA App
If you are able to downgrade to 1.17 yes it will break ICS. But who cares as it would allow me to S-OFF again and do everything properly.
Correct, our issue is we cannot even downgrade due to the S-On.
Yes, I am a newb to the Sensation, but not flashing in general. I have previously had hacked SamVibrant, HD2, and most recently, the G2x, so I know from a constant flasher's POV generally what Im doing.
I've been searching for answers to this for days now, and nothing really seems to work, so let me just start with what is going on.
CURRENT STATS:
-PHONE-TMO Sensation 4g
-S-OFF
-ROOTED
-BOOTLOADER-1.23.0000
-RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
At the top of the bootloader screen it says ****LOCKED**** Which I am guessing is obviously in refrence to the bootloader itself.
Also I currently have the latest 4EXT recovery flashed. When I got the phone it had CWM 5.00.2 or whatever the latest was.
Just bought a Sensation from a guy on Craigslist, and when I got it, it had a CM7 AOSP ROM running on it. I definitely wanted ICS, so I started reading and trying to get it.
So I started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300&highlight=hboot+1+23
I tried the PG58IMG.zip install via the bootloader, but kept getting errors and security fails. So I researched more and found a post about how to fix that, but the problem is that there is almost always a need to use Revolutionary, and I can't because it doesn't support the 1.23 bootloader.
I have also tried the PG58DIAG via bootloader, and still got mismatch and security errors.
I also just recently tried flashing back to the "REALSTOCKEXPERIENCE" stock ROM which was successful, but it didn't fix my bootloader or unlock woes. Lastly I tried the HTC dev Unlock, and it would not work, because When I got to the part where it attempts to connect to the phone via USB to do get the identifier token it would not connect. It just kept waiting. I tried resetting my phone and reloading the BL but it would not work.
Also I have noticed that I cannot get my phone to connect VIA USB to the PC when in FASTBOOT or Bootloader. Is that normal?
Please help a brother get some ICS on my new phone! I loved my HD2, although it was a bi#$% to flash sometimes, I loved it, and that is why I went with HTC again. This all makes me miss my Vibrant, where you could flash all day long and root without a computer... Good times....
You're already s-off, so most of the work has already been done for you. Make sure you have fast boot unchecked in power options in your current rom. After that, all that's left to do is check your cid. If you're supercid, then grab any 3.32 base firmware from one of the many rom threads in our dev forum, install it via bootloader, remove the firmware file from sd card (do it from pc after you power down the phone), then flash a rom. This will also upgrade your bootloader to 1.27 unlocked and change your radio to the latest. Don't forget to check md5!
If you're not supercid, then you'll need to find kohr-ah's firmware thread because he has corresponding firmware for all cids. Then grab any rom and enjoy.
As for connecting fastboot via USB, you need the htc sync drivers installed on your PC.
Sorry for lack of links. I'm on mobile and searching is a PITA on the phone.
/edit
Make a nandroid backup before you do any of this.
Thanks a bunch. I will give it a go a third time, but that is one of the problems that I am having, is that I can't flash anything via bootloader. I just get tons of errors...
Lets see if the third time is a charm.
EDIT: I still can't use revolutionary for Super CID because the bootloader is 1.23, but I used a Terminal window and the getprop ro.cid/mid and got this:
Cid-T-MOB010.... is this super CID'd?? I was looking for a reference post, but cant remember where I found it before.
no you are not super cid, it would say 111111. But your good everything is already done really.... Go to kor ah's noob friendly firmware thread, find the 3.32 firmware from T-Mobile with the tmobo10 included. Put it on the root if your SD and there you go flash an ics rom. Just remember to delete it after.

^^ This. Kohr-Ah's thread is the way to go then.
On a side note, you might be able to write supercid after flashing the 1.27 bootloader because the one floating around is already unlocked by revolutionary. Why bother? Because it'll make things easier if we have to upgrade our firmware again in the future.

Forget Revolutionary. You are already S-OFF so you don't need the tool any more. All you need to do is flash the 3.32 firmware (it comes with HBOOT 1.27, ICS won't boot on 1.23) from >here<, and SuperCID (look here at step 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300).
Okay, I am on the right track now. I hunted and hunted, and finally found a PG58IMG that would flash on my bootloader. That put me on the 1.27 bootloader which allowed me to flash the unlocked 1.17 Bootloader which previously would not flash. now I am trying to get the RUU to flash me back to a non-Rooted ROM so I can reflash the 3.32 and then ICS... Once again, I miss my Vibrant's flashing simplicity... but it will all be worth it.
Thanks for your assistance, everyone with positive non-flaming comments. Expect your thanks buttons to get some love!
Someone else correct me if I'm wrong here due to misunderstanding that last post...
But if you're on the 1.17 bootloader unlocked and everything is smooth there, you should be able to flash the 3.32 firmware right not, then flash whatever ICS ROM you want. The current ROM should have no bearing on this. There is no reason to flash to a non rooted ROM just so you can immediately flash a new ROM.
You just need to have either Clockwork or 4EXT recovery installed to flash the ROM. (And you'll need 4EXT to flash a couple of them. Not all will work with Clockwork)

Thanks for the thanks.
Though once you had the 1.27 revolutionary bootloader, you could've just flashed an ICS rom right then and there and been done with the whole thing. The 1.27 bootloader that's floating around actually comes from the 3.32 (rom base) firmware so you would have been good to go. You really didn't need to revert to 1.17 hboot and flash a non rooted rom.
Don't worry, it really is easy flashing a Sensation, you'll see. It's just that a lot of our guides are outdated and end up confusing people who come into the scene post gingerbread.
/edit
Skipjacks is right. You can go from 1.17 hboot to 1.27 hboot (3.32 rom base firmware) without worrying about your current rom.
I had tried to flash the ICS Rom several times, only to have Boot loops and get stuck. I was following several guides posted here that say that you have to be on a non-rooted rom. I will give it another go to see if there is any change.
That's really weird. Which ICS rom are you trying to flash?
Did you get the T-MOB010 3.32 firmware from here and make sure md5 was correct? This firmware is really the only prerequisite for flashing a 3.32 base ICS rom.
Just keep in mind that 3.32 firmware only works for ICS and will bootloop a gingerbread rom.
There's a really good and simple step by step on how to flash ICS in the first post on the link. Check it out.
OMG It Works! I was boot looping like crazy and could not get anything to boot!
I am not sure but I think the problem may have been the radio, or the wrong Firmware for my CID. My phone would not work with the adb Radio.imgthough so I left it alone.
Correct me if I am wrong on the radio idea, but I flashed the 3.32 and I would get stuck at the White HTC screen. Tried SuperWiping and Flashing three different Roms and no-go.
Then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I downloaded the right one per my TMO CID and was able to flash it, which also updated the Radio. After another superwipe and Rom Flashing, it worked!
THanks again for all of the help. You are all really appreciated. ALong with this whole community.
Haha that's Kohr-Ah's thread where we were telling you to go to for 3.32 firmware.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what was causing your bootlooping. There's so many little things that could cause a bootloop, it's hard to pinpoint. But hey you've got it running now so it's all good.
Welcome to ICS and welcome to the Sensation community.
Hi All, hopefully i am in the right place.
I have been trying to flash a CoinDroid_V1.5.2 on my Htc Sensation (not a 4g) which is locked to Telstra (Australian telco)
My specs as follows:
Android version: 2.3.4 (ginberbread)
sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.45.841.5
Hboot-S-off: 1.17 (phone is rooted)
cid: 11111111 (i changed the cid using information ive founded on this website)
midG5811000
4EXT Recovery tool installed as well
radio: 10.14.9035.01_m[, tried to flash to radio 11 but the phone kept restaring itself after 5 minutes, so i downgraded it, working fine now.
I have download a file called Android revolution hd super wipe, also the PG58IMG image file, everything that you might think off, but still does not work
I have tried to install the coindroid from the 4EXT utility program, selected coindroid 1.5.2 and started to flash, everything fine so far, but when it finishes i restart the phone and does not load up the rom, it keeps rebooting itself everytime, i have also tried using a different rom called Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE and the screen gets stuck on the beats audio, does not go further than that.
Phone is rooted, s-off working, clockwordmod, 4EXT utility loads up as well...
I dont know what i am doing wrong here, can someone help me out here?
I have also tried doing this method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Which basically unlocks your phone, tried it and the phone was unlocked but all my apps and configuration was gone, so went back to the s-off to restore(which did not load the 4ext) and tried to restore my stock rom from s-off, hoping that i can still use it with the phone unlocked. Did not worked at all. It was a miracle that after trying to install the coindroid and failed again, the 4ext when back alive again and i was able to restore the stock rom which works.
Can someone tell me please, what i have done wrong?? i have followed all the necessary steps and yet cant flash any rom
Thanks to all for helping the new newbie
Hi,
Regarding CoinDroid, most links are broken.
Re-download and verify md5 sum.
Alternatively try OrDroid.
Same developer and as I see almost the same rom.
And update hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656867
You didn't follow all necessary steps. You gotta flash 3.3x.xxx.x firmware for ics. Your 1.45.xxx.x firmware you have now is for gb. That's why it wont boot.

This could be also my problem, however my phone boots fine.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to verify the firmware version. Could you please advise?
Settings/about phone/software information/software number. Ics roms will have 3.xx.xxx.xx software number and gb will have 1.xx.xxx.xx. 3rd post down in sensation general forum will have all the info about firmware that you need. You gotta flash firmware that matches the rom you want. You just download it and flash it before you flash the rom.
For me that's OrDroid 6.0.0...
thank you

According to your first post your cid is 11111111 (supercid). You should be able to use any one of the 3.32 firmware. Your rom has to match the firmware.

Yes, i downloaded an app called CID GETTER, before i flashed, it said that my cid was TELST001, but now shows 11111111.
My stock rom wont work if i flashed the new Firmware, because it gingerbread and not Ice cream sandwich? Is that correct? Sorry for repeating myself, i just want to get it right.
Regarding the CoinDroid_V1.5.2 or the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE, they all shall work once i flashed the new firmware because booth are ICS, right?
Thanks mate, i am actually downloading this Firware: cidnum: TELST001
from the website you gave me.
What you reckon?
Ps: Should i update the radio too? or the new rom will update it for me?? This is getting annoying!
Ps1: Once i download the file(firmware) should i flash it trough clockwork recovery or EXT4 ? I am not sure about that.
Thanks for all the helpers out there.

Flashing Firmware Updates both the bootloader/hboot and radio too.. So you need not worry about radio and all
After you flash this firmware tou can't run your current gb rom. As it's not compatible.. And only ics rom runs.. So after flashing the firmware flash the coindroid/ordroid rom and then you are good to go
Now regarding firmware flashing.. It will be PG58IMG file.. so the method of flashing will be different.. Please for instructions/steps on how to flash the firmware please check in the thread from where you downloaded. The steps are given there

Thank you so much, it's all clear now.
I have to flash the firmware (anyone in my case due that my sensation is supercid) Using S-off
Flash then the superwipe for the sensation
Flash the Rom that you like
And that's my problem come, i dont know which rom to start with
I have narrowed my search to this 3:
Coindroid v 1.5.2 ( I read that it's quite a good one)
Ordroid v 5.02 (I have not seen any videos on youtube with the looks of it)
Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE (A good choice as well)
From this 3 roms, which is the latest one? And which one is the one that will work out of the box without you trying to fix either the wifi or something like that
Thanks to all for their responses.
Coindroid and ordroid are same.. I mean coindroid became ordroid.. So ordroid is like an update to coindroid.. And basically these are sense 4 ported rom's.. So they are bound to have some issues.. I heard hot spot and Bluetooth are not working properly.. In OP of the thread the bugs are mentioned... So if you want to try sense 4 go for that
The other one ARHD is pretty stable... This comes under your out of box scenario also INSERT COIN comes under this case...
I'm using IC now and I'm pretty happy with it
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
So you're running clockwork mod recovery while using the 4ext recovery utility? Before updating use the.utility to flash 4ext recovery, if you flash ordroid there is already the option to superwipe built in when flashing. Be sure to flash 4ext

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 ***

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>
Hi. I'm trying to flash back to stock FW/ROM using SD card method. I have done this before lots of times. I'm getting a error now saying "19 RU_MAIN_VER_FAIL os-version in android-info missing or invalid". I've used this same zip before. Currently on Leedroid latest ROM if that helps. Using latest OPTUS zip from google spreadsheet. Unlocked bootloader and stock recovery. 1.28.710.4 is reported in bootloader - I'm trying to flash 1.11.710.5 - Is that why? Cause i'm downgrading? What's the alternative to get back to stock if no ZIP available? (i dont have stock TWRP backup anymore). Thanks for help.
Try a 1.32.710.xx as you need s-off to downgrade. Androidruu might have one. Failing that you can buy s-off, change cid and mid and flash another region firmware.

I looked for Ocean and U11 on that site....nothing. I thought that might be the case. Not gonna get s-off, won't work with Oreo asfaik. Change MID and CID was simple on HTC10, things are becoming more complicated and less worth it tbh. Thank you for help.
