Hi.
I bought my Sensation few days ago. Updated it to 1.45.401.2, got bored with stock Rom. So I decided to unlock bootloader to use CustomeRoms
I removed SIMCard from Sensation (I needed it in my old phone) and used official bootloader unlocker tool from this site http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and everything went ok. After unlocking I rebooted my phone to bootloader and saw this:
*** UNLOCKED ***

HBOOT-1.18.0000

Good so far.
Installed Recovery 5.0.2.0 (official tool doesn't include this) - no problem.
Downloaded ROM SlimSense, made full wipe (cache, data system, dalvik etc) installed it per Recovery (succesfully), rebooted and.... the problems started.
After rebooting bootloop started. Full wipe, reinstalation (succesful again), reboot and the same - bootloop.I thought that instalation .zip file maybe was broken - let's try different. Downloaded virtuous_sensation-s-pyramid-v3.0.0-beta ROM, full wiped, installed (succesfully), reboot and... the same - bootloop.
I started suspecting something is wrong so decided to cure my phone by flashing stockROM. Downloaded RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed from XDA, full wiped with recovery, and tried to flash it -RUU founds my phone, reboot it to start instalation (black screen with white htc- missing percentage info) and try to send files to phone for 15-20 sec - then RUU show message that it cannot update my phone. When I unplug phone from usb, phone goes back to bootloader and show:
*** UNLOCKED ***

RUU
Security fail!
Update fail!
After this "try" i still have fully working Recovery. I tried also 1.35 and 1.73 stock ROMs - the same fail
I tried to unlock super cid 11111111 but it didn'twork - some SMART_IO.CRD file is missing.
Then i tried to use revolutionary way of unlocking, but without system on the phone it doesn't recognize it. And i can't have system cause RUU doesn't work.
Then I remembered that my SIM card is out of phone.
So I put it back but it didn't change anything: full wipe, instalation of SlimSense, reboot and... bootloop again, the same with virtuos.
The same fail with RUU! , the same supercid and revolutionary failure.
So here comes my question:
Is there any other posibility to flash stock ROM? PG58img somehow?
Pls - DON'T TELL me that i should use revolutionary first - i know it now.
Tell me how to solve this problem.

PG58img ??? yes, you can try this : http://goo-inside.me/ruu/pyramid/fu...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed.zip
after download, rename to PG58IMG.zip and move to root of your sd-card, enter to bootloader -> flash this...
i could be wrong (not an expert) but maybe its failing because your phone still says its S-ON

As far as I know Official bootloader unlocker gives only "UNLOCKED" and it's enough to flash custom ROMs.
@ ranggazay
I extracted rom.zip from StockROM 1.45 renamed it to PG58IMG.zip and tried to flash but still nothing. Also tried the same earliers StockRoms (1.35, 1.27 etc).
Unfortunately I can't use your file cause i gave my phone to service.
Any solution?
Hello,
did you find a solution to the problem? I experienced this today and thinking about a repair unless I find something here. Did you get any solution? Thank you.
Try flashing the RUU again whist the phone is on FASTBOOT-USB
Same problem here - I'm interested in any solution

S on will not allow you to flash radios. Unlocked bootloader through HTC does not give you s off which is a requirement to flash custom ROMS.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Htc dev method unlock only few parts of the bootloader.
It doesn't unlock the radio area, it doesn't give you advanced fastboot write command access (that's why you can't change your cid) and I think that the boot.img partition (where there is the kernel) is not flashable from recovery.
You unlocked your bootloader on a 2.3.4 rom (with a 2.3.4 kernel, sense 3.0) and you tried to flash two 2.3.5 roms.
Without the possibility to flash a new kernel your phone was trying to boot with a 2.3.4 stock kernel + a rom that was meant for 2.3.5. This could be the cause of your bootloops.
I would try to install a 2.3.4 rom, like android revolution HD 3.x.x, you could have problems with wifi but it should boot at least.
First of all get S-off then supercid ur phone. You need to have s off to install any custom Rom properly. Ones you do that hopefully solve problem. Try not to messing around u might brick ur phone. You already void ur warranty by unlocking bootloader.

Same problem but with different unit--- I have a HTC ChaCha.
Any solutions please? I would love to get S-OFF on my ChaCha but I know that is only possible via an XTC Clip.
Why would he have problems with WiFi? I think my stock ROM got broken or one of the stock ROM's kernels got messed up when I installed BusyBox because for some odd reason when I restored to factory settings with stock ROM the WiFi had problems connecting. It couldn't connect to anything at all.
I had same problem and this is how I solved it
Ok here is answer to solve you
Flash any 2.3.5 Rom and open that zip in computer and extract the boot.IMF file and place it to the web folder in c drive and and flash it immediately after installing Rom
Go to bootloader and make sure fastboot USB connected and then flash the boot.IMG file from cmd prompt
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
With s-on and **unlocked** via htc.dev, you can't flash radio.img or boot.img, nor can you write using fastboot (eg. superCID). RUU will not run with s-on.
You will need to revert and downgrade via this guide, you can then either continue with custom flashing or run the ruu correct for your original software/baseband/carrier/location.

just after u unlocked your bootloader u have to keep stock rom.....means official 2.3.4 and then u need to flash android revolution rom "3.6.x"

Flashing a custom ROM does not give you s off. Which part of you can't flash radios and kernels with s on do you not get?. You cannot flash Android Revolution ROM with s on. Read the OP of the thread, requires s off.

You're wrong. You can flash ARHD with s-on. The only requisite is to flash the kernel (boot.img) by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and voila. You need to have the unlocked bootloader with htcdev too.
My Sensation came with HBOOT 1.21, so no revolutionary at all. I unlocked by htcdev, installed 4ext recovery and ARHD 4.1.3 this way.

i read that HBOOT 1.21 can be S-OFFed " reported done by a member " in [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF or [Finally Here!] HTC Unbricking Project threads , i don't remember if the device on GB or ICS
i think it is Juopunutbear S-OFF search inside it [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF , it is done using the wire trick , link http://unlimited.io/
the only comment i have , is to verify the S-OFF type , is it like hardware S-OFF " i.e can't be S-ON again for warranty reasons ? " or it Software S-OFF

? im at a lost here little more detail
what did you use to unlock bootloader?
where you ever s-off?
where you rooted?
why did you flash the IMG.zip?
if you unlocked it then go to fastboot and make your CID 11111
and hopefully that will get you back on where you wanted to do?

Tried to flash orig RUU (1.45, 1.29, ICS etc.) error 155 when hboot is locked and error 132 signarure error when relocked. Also tried changing android-info.txt to my cid and mid no luck, tried flashing via RUU and bootloader no luck.

Sorry to reply so late.
Previously, my phone was eng s-off and got super cid.
After i flash ICS firmware, bootloader was then locked.
After that i did some stupid things, the bootloader turned into "locked", "security warning" and s-on. I succeeded to unlock bootloader by htcdev and get rid of "security warning", at that time i can boot into recovery normally and wipe or flash roms. But it just can't boot into system. I tried fastboot commands to flash but failed just because "it is not allowed in the remote devices".
i tried PG58IMG files but the bootloader shows no image or wrong image.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much

My phone had been rooted and end s-off before things happened.
i flash IMG.zip to try to flash a rom( Somebody post that ICS rom can be flash by IMG.zip) or fix the bootloader problem. It's almost the only way to flash a rom for me
I checked the cid and it is still 11111111(Got super cid before) although bootloader is s-on.
Now the state of the bootloader is
1, unlocked
2,s-on
3,cid is 11111111
4,can boot into recovery
5,can't install PG58IMG.zip
6,fastboot command can't write anyting
7,if flash some rom, phone will be stuck at the splash screen which seems splash partition is writable
Thank you!

i don't know how to do either, but during solving my problem, i found something may be useful. If you want to unlock bootloader you can try htcdev. This can't s-off but just unlock bootloader.
And since your hboot is 1.20, you can try the zip file attached by this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22.
Because my hboot is 1.23 and isn't supported according to the above link, i didn't know whether it will help or not. You can take it into consideration
Hope you can solve your problem

I format the sdcard in fat32 format and place img that revert to hboot 1.17 in sdcard. Reboot into bootloader, but it shows "no image or wrong image".
I also try fastboot command but i don't know the command format. Would you give me an example please? Just a fastboot command to install img no matter s-on or s-off. Such as "fastboot flash hboot hboot.img".
My device is now s-on.

Hello Everyone,
I need to send my Sensation in for dust removal. I was running CM9, changed my CID back to BM___01 or something for bell mobility, where the phone came from. I then did the
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
and got a brick. I unbricked successfully with the unbricking project. Kudos to the devs of that.
I now have a problem. My CID is for bell, so can't flash anything else, error in the ruu.
My hboot is 1.27 and my radio 11.22.3504.07_M, so I can't flash any of the bell ruu because of error 140 wrong bootloader. The only RUUs for bell are gingerbread with really old hboot.
I think I need to s-off and change CID to get a newer ICS RUU on here.
3 questions:
1. can I s-off without any firmware (no recovery, no rom) on the device, so no adb
2. Is there any other way to get a booting rom on here?
3. can I revert back to the gingerbread RUU using some sort of hboot downgrade, once I have something installed? (rom)
Thanks for your help.

Hmm that's a rough situation you are in.. If you can't find the ruu that would be a problem..
First try contacting football.. For ics ruu of bell.. (football provides most of the ruu's.. He is the OP of pyramid shipped rom collections thread present in sensation development section)
Try changing Cid to a well know one
Like this.. What you do is
First reboot to bootloader
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 (supercid won't work.. So stick with this for now)
Then remove battery..
Then reinsert it. Power on to bootloader
And check Cid
fastboot getvar cid
If this worked.. Great. Find a Europe ruu and flash it
Last .. Try htc-dev unlock.. If luckily you..got unlocked bootloader..
Flash custom rom..Then SOFF..Then change back Cid..Then flash the old ruu of your Cid..Then SON
To get a working rom
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
For future reference; S-ON is the last thing you do when sending the phone back. RUU needs to happen before that.
The situation you're in, you're going to have to HTC Dev unlock your bootloader, and fastboot flash system and boot, possibly install a firmware PG58IMG as well... hopefully that will be enough to get the phone booting. Then you'll want to S-OFF and flash the RUU (this will also set you back to ***LOCKED***), then you can S-ON.
You guys are so helpful. I will try this.
My utmost thanks,

Is HTC dev unlock reversible, and does it void my warranty even if I reverse it? does it leave any trace/can they tell?
Getting S-OFF removes all trace of it.

No, going S-OFF changes ***UNLOCKED*** back to ***LOCKED***

yep...
if you use juopunutbear soff after HTC-dev unlock ..you will get locked/juopunutbear bootloader (instead of relocked )
then RUU (to make everything stock..and to prevent wrong SON brick) and SON again ..will be complete stock
Again, I am amazed by your helpfulness.
Thanks guys! you run the general section

I can't flash firmware because it says "parsing package" and then does nothing

ohk for firmware flash you can use this
copy the firmware zip (PG58IMG.zip) to the adb/fastboot folder
open command prompt from adb/fastboot
then these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (if failed while flashing in the middle ..be careful)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
that would flash the firmware
I know this seems to be a common problem, and that I might have found a solution by searching, but I have looked high and low and can not fix my problem.
HTC Inspire 4g from ATT, it was unlocked when I got it. I used EasyAceRoot to attempt to root it (which I believe I did because I used SU successfully). Seems like everything went well but then I tried to install a custom rom and I have had the white screen ever since. I have tried using an RUU at hboot to restore, but I keep getting different errors, most recently it is error 140. I have also tried loading a PD98IMG with different SD cards to no avail. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks a ton.

But im in S-ON, i didnt think you could flash boot.img with S-ON?
EDIT: I tried to flash the boot.img and got FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Any other suggestions?
You can flash from fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked. Re-unlock.

How am I suppose to be able to unlock it if I can't get it to boot up?

I don't understand. Why do you need to boot it up to unlock it from fastboot? Your bootloader says relocked. Just unlock it the same way you did it the first time around.
Hey i have kind of the same problem, im tired of try and try to fix it, i think this is the last thing i will do.
Ok i can enter to the bootloader, and also to the recovery, but! when i flash a rom it cant boot on ! i got stucked after the HTC Logo. Also tried to to flash PD98IMG from hboot without succes and the same thing with RUU, in HBOOT the RUU software says that my battery is 30% or less and i have to chargue it, but is full! so have to enter in fastboot mode and it pass that step charguing the ruu but then it send an error that the image restore from ruu cant be completed.
so how do i flash the boot.img from the ROM zip in fastboot?
Btw: S-on AND unlocked bootloader

I already replied to you in the other thread. Please, do not double post your issues otherwise people will be replying the same many times. Ask the mods to remove one of your posts.
It definitely sounds like you need to unlock your bootloader and go into fastboot to flash your boot.img. Hopefully you have a nandroid of the working rom. If you can get into recovery, wipe and restore your nandroid, then fastboot flash the nandroids boot.img. Good luck. Once you get things working, search and get S-Off so flashing roms are easier. I just got S-OFF on my inspire today.
Hi,
Looking for some help with flashing ROMs
My phone is HBoot 2.15
Using TWRP v2.7.1.0
Every ROM I flash seems to install correctly but when booting I get the white HTC screen then the screen goes black and/or reboots (into a loop)
I'm using the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option to flash ROMs.
Phone was on Orange UK, CID ORANG001
Any ideas if I'm missing something simple?

I assume you're S-On, aren't you? Did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after flashing the rom? Since you're S-On roms won't boot without this step.
