Download a 3.32 firmware file that fits you. Put that PG58IMG file on the root of your SD card (top level folder) and turn your phone off. Hold Volume Down and power it up. It'll ask if you want to update. Say yes. Then it'll ask to reboot. Take out the SD card ONLY AFTER the update is complete then reboot into the bootloader (volume down + power). Wait 10 seconds and put the SD card in, scroll down to recovery and select it. Now, reflash the ICS rom you want and it'll boot. Once it's booted, use a file manager and remove the PG58IMG file from your SD.

Okay just one question which firmware should i download as there are China,T-mobile,orange and vodafone??? i live in pakistan n have non of these carriers, does it matter if i download any of these carrier's firmware???if no then plz suggest a firmware ur self n i appreciate ur help

You have s-off right? If so, perform superCID, then it doesn't matter what source the fw has. If you don't want to do this, check Kor-ah's friendly firmware thread in dev forum for another option.

Yes, as you can always revert back to the original one. Make sure you make a note of it. You can always get "CID Getter" from the market, it'll tell you your original CID.

yeah i've got my cid?? its HTC_001 ,what would u prefer supercid or the firmware?

So i try to go back to the bootloader and here i am :
Model ID incorrect
Update Fail !
Press <POWER> to reboot.
So i searched on the net and read some people success by using Android Flasher then i download an hboot here : alpharev .nl but the software ask me an ENG bootloader and i can't find any on the net ?
Hope there is someone can help, thanks
Have you run SuperCId
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Follow step 4, then update firmware. You will have to deleate the update file of your sd card 1st
IS there a way to access the SD card ? I have nothing for read it right now only my phone ...
either put it in another phone or put it in an adaptor for lappy/pc
yeah i would put in an other phone or something else but got nothing until tonight so then i guess i have to wait tonight
Have you got a recovery on your phone. Clockwork etc.
If so take memory card out boot to recovery, then put memory card back in.
You only got to get past bootloader, with out it seeing the update file on sd
Yeah i just found this way, i delete the PG58IMG.zip install a new ROM and now the phone boot do i have to make the process you told me with ADB ?

If you plan on flashing the latest ICS roms, you will need the laest firmware.
You phonse has to be SuperCID to that.
So maybe worth it, its easy enough to do.
ok thank you for help i will do this then other ROM will finish to be ICS so yeah would better to do

3.12 will do both GB and ICS but it isn't a native GB F/W release.
i) I'm assuming you have a Nandroid backup of the original ROM ?
ii) Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and get the 1.17 Firmware.
iii) Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143 and get the 10.58 Radio
iv) restore the nandroid backup.
If no nandroid backup, then I'm sure others can oint you in the direction of the right RUU. Be careful installing RUUs as they potentially update too much.
You can either flash the gb firmware or simply run the latest RUU that you would like to have.
Keep in mind that you will lose your custom recovery.

Eek, never considered trying for S-ON. S-OFF is the main battle.
Can I ask why S-ON ? I struggle to see a need for it apart from returns.

yes, I've already seen that, but there's also an howto in my native language, so I won't mess it up, the question just is, if it makes a difference, that I've got ICS?

can you please help me with step 1) & 2)
so I put the gb rom, the radio & the firmware on my sd.
then flash firmware, then radio, then superwipe & finally rom?
i think first thing is firmware, then super wipe in recovery mode, then rom and after long boot radio..
i do radio flashing with fastboot. connect phone with usb in terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
if you are in bootloader then in terminal:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
you must change radio.img with your radio name and i asume that you have ADB and FASTBOOT, you can get this from android dev..its named android sdk

Actually both radio and firmware have the same file name (the name is PG58IMG.zip) ıf you change the name of one of the files, fastboot will not detect the file. SO ; you have to put the firmware and rom into root of your sd card FIRST. When flashed the firmware, power off the device and just unplug your sdcard. Then boot into bootloader again (volume down+power when the device is off) As the device cannot recognize an sd card this way, it will not try to upgrade the firmware automatically. Then when the device is turned on into the bootloader give it 5-10 seconds and plug your card. Then go to recovery menu. And choose mount usb storage when the device is connected to pc. Delete PG58IMG file (firmware) Then superwipe and flash your rom. Then put your radio file which has the same file name with the firmware into root of sd card. Boot into bootloader and upgrade it. That's all!
If you are confused about unpluging sd card, then plugging again while in the bootloader menu, that is just to deceive the bootloader as i told before. If bootloader finds PG58IMG file in the sd card you will not be able to get into recovery menu. Alternatively, and easier method is to delete the firmware file after flashing it by using an external card reader instead of getting into recovery and mounting sd card via phone.

[Q] Help, boot loop here?

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

Sensation 4G Boot Problems

I was attempting to root my phone and I believe my system files are now deleted or corrupted (This is my best guess from what I have read online) as my phone will not get past the boot screen which is the white background with the "htc" logo. I am able to hit the down volume button with the power button to see the screen where you see the following:
-Revoluntionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
I have the PG58IMG.zip file on my SD Card and when in the above screen, it gives me the prompt "Do you want to start update?". I hit yes, it shows a successful update but when you reboot, it still refuses to boot the phone past the "htc" logo screen. I must admit that I did not do enough research before attempting this "Root" and I'm having difficultly understanding what to do next. If possible, I would like to get the phone back to factory setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#1 - do you have a custom recovery installed?
#2 - remove the PG58IMG.zip file from your SD card or you will never be able to get past the bootloader.
#3 - if you REALLY want to go back to factory, you will need to install an official HTC RUU.
Thanks for the response JWhipple. Here are your answers:
1: Custom Recovery is installed, I've tried 2 different ones, still refuses to boot.
2: I have removed the zip file from the SD Card, still refuses to boot.
3: I haven't tried the HTC RUU yet because I still can't get the phone to boot.
If you boot the phone into bootloader mode you should be able to run the RUU. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Do a full wipe from recovery.....including the /system and /boot. Then reflash your ROM. Also, ensure your using the correct firmware for the ROM your using.
Sent from my FireStorm StockMod (Release Date 5.18.2012) Sensation 4G
I have a similar problem, except that my update failed!! Can I just delete the firmware file and the phone will get back to normal????
The easiest way to solve your issue, providing you DO have a custom recovery e.g. 4EXT or Clockwork, would be to go to the Sensation Android Development sub-forum, find an appropriate ROM, and then flash it through recovery. There are many tutorials online explaining this. Alternatively you could search for "Sensation 4g RUU" which is basically the official program for PC which restores the stock firmware of the device. You do need to get the correct one for the 4G Sensation or you could experience some issues.
try use fastboot to install recovery

Thanks you very much for all the input on my problems with my phone! It's nice to see a friendly and helpful community here! I'll start with the new ROM now and update you guys shortly.
Hey tragik74, when you say "run RUU", how exactly do you run it? The only method I see for running anything is to make a PG58IMG.zip file and install that on a SD Card. Which I'm a having an issue with since now my phone shows locked but still has S-OFF.

[Q] HTC sensation bootscreen loop

Hi there. I've read some advices for similar problem, but i couldnt find any solution to this.
My girlfriend tried to flash her rom in Sens and i think she made it bad
I know, that she unlocked her bootloader (1.27) with htc dev page. She flashed touch CWM as a recovery.img and she used partitioning function on her SD card by CWM. It earased her backups etc (yea, cool , isnt it ? ). Form this moment she couldnt mount usb storage and connect phone to the pc in CWM mode. She rebooted system and copied OrDRoid and Sharpy ROM's to the SD. Rebooted to recovery, and she... did full wipe and dalvik cache wipe. Flashed with Sharpy ROM and now... it's the best moment
She forgot to flash the radio, and she didn't read any of instructions in the topic of rom. She just did it like I do it in my desire
So, the question is, how to bring it all alive ? Now there's unending bootscreen loop and i rly donno what to do... I hope u guys will help me with this coz she's now shou ting etc all the time

If bootloader is still accessible, i would recommend the following steps
1- Get superCID (i would recommed but its not neccesary)
2- Flash the latest firmware 3.32.x.x (Put the PG851MG file on root of sd card)
3- delete the PG851MG file from sd card
4- do a full wipe and then flash the ROM. (which should be on the root of sd card)

NO!!! HTC DEV DOESN'T GIVE S OFF! DON'T DO THIS.
Please follow this guide.
Skip the HTC Dev step since you have already done it.
@debarox.
i tried it, but it's all ending at parsing, rebooting the phone to bootloader, parsing and phone goes off ;] with no effect
@kgs1992
mhm
you're right, there is still s-on coz she only unlocked access to flashing the rcovery
i'll try later to do it
@Kevc44485
successfull troll is succesfull isnt it?
I tried your 2 billions advices and all of them ends with no effect
Tell your girlfriend, I.e. yourself, to start the phone in boot loader, click on fast boot, plug in her (your) phone to the PC and run the proper ruu. And next time make sure your girlfriend (you) pays attention to what she's (you are) doing. Maybe she (you) shouldn't flash anymore phones.
man ... the computer won't see my phone in fastboot if it doesnt work in usb storage mode in cwm so i can't use RUU. this is the reason why i'm here writing these posts
maybe u're schizophrenic and you can mistake hand with another person, whatever, i'm not you .
I didn't have problems with flashing any of MY phones but i can't (yes u're right, i can't) fix up someone's mistakes if i don't know the phone ;]
I think when its plugged into the computer in fastboot mode the computer should install the drivers automatically. Mine did.

Ah lol caught you. It is your phone. Haha LMAO!!!
Who's a schizophrenic?
Another possible problem might be that you don't have the appropriate firmware.
Do you have 3.32.x.x firmware? If not, follow this, Use 3rd method:
Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch
To dowload and install the newest version of 4ext recovery TOUCH (v1.0.0.5 RC3). Use one of the following methods provided:
Third method: Download this file, check the MD5 of the zip and install it following the steps 4 and 5 from post#1 in this thread.
NOTE: File used in third method WILL NOT install the needed 3.32 firmware in any way, only contains the recovery.img to flash 4ext recovery touch.
Updating the firmware
This step is MANDATORY otherwise your ROM will not boot.
After updating the firmware you will have the 3.32 firmware with unlocked bootloader. Which basically means that you can use advanced fastboot commands, such as: flash new radios and splashscreens
Download compatible firmware from here.
Copy the PG58IMG.zip file you've downloaded to the root of the sdcard. Root of the sd card mean that you can't put the file inside any folder. Also, you can't rename the file. Please keep the PG58IMG otherwise the bootloader won't recognize it.
Power off your phone or remove the batt and put it back again.
Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
Wait for the firmware package to be found and confirm to update as prompted
Once it completed successfully and prompted you to reboot, pull the battery out.
Connect your SD card to the PC and remove the PG58IMG.zip file.

Perform a SuperWipe. It can be found at the end of this post.
Now, just flash a compatible ROM & you're good to go.
If you follow all these steps, I am a 100% positive your device will boot perfectly.
yea we have another problem
it's completely disharged and when i try to connect and charge it only blinks the orange light ; o
Well princess, you're **** outta luck.
Do you have any other way of charging it?
Try plugging in the charger elsewhere. Remove & re-insert the battery.
Also, I have edited the previous post with steps for you to follow since you can't use adb or fastboot. Please read through that and follow it.
k. not bad. i''ve got fully chargd battery and 4-ext recovery touch. firmware 3.32.
now i need any rom for that firmware and s-on... xd
