[Q] HELP sensation flashed ROM wont start - HTC Sensation

Hello, first I would like to apologize as I am clearly a noob and have very little idea of what I am talking about.
I'm sure my problem has been asked before and that if I had any idea what the problem was, I could find the exact solution I need here on the forums. Unfortunately I don't even know what to search for. If any one would like to complain go ahead but please..just help me.
So I decided to root my HTC Sensation, which I believe I did without any problem, I followed the guide on this site. Nothing went wrong and as far as I was aware everything was working fine.
I then decided to flash a new ROM onto the phone. I chose the Android Revolution HD as this looked to be the popular choice. I got it from here and I believed I had followed the instructions on how to install it properly.
However, after installing the ROM I came upon a problem, the phone would not start, it would just go to the HTC boot screen and stay there forever. At first I couldn't even get back to the hboot screen, but after inserting a new and better charged battery I was able to get there, but every time I do it attempts to update and says " CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot." and I cant do anything but get stuck in this continuous loop.
If I take the SD card out I can access the HBOOT properly, however trying to do a recovery at this point doesn't seem to work.
I have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I would be happy to just have my phone back to the way it was originally.
Thanks

Might wanna try a RUU? not sure but hopefully it should do..

First off your MAJOR issue is that you flashed a rom for the Desire HD section(As soon as I clicked on your link, it said Android Revolution 7.0.2... I was like wtf? There is no 7.0.2 on the sensation forum) ... I think that's the prob... for now! Flash the correct rom and stay in the right section!
Second, I don't see why you can't get into recovery. Remove your sd card, power on the phone by holding vol-down +power to get to bootloader, select recovery and flash the right rom. I would also recommend that you delete the P58IMG.zip off your sd card as well. I'm assuming you have it on there for the ICS firmware but flashed the incorrect rom. You are far from bricking it, but keep this up and it might turn into one!

Thanks, your post is certainly reasuring though I am still not sure how to continue. Also it is possible I gave the wrong link to the rom I used, though it definitely was the same name.
Anyway what Im thinking I have to do now is 1st delete p58img.zip file from my SDcard and put the right rom on there, could you link to one?
So by removing that file I should be able to access the SDcard again and flash the new rom?

Here's the right link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
This is an ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Rom
So you need:
1) SuperCID (so that you can flash any firmware)
Instructions
2) Flash the ICS firmware (otherwise you can't use the ICS roms)
http://goo.gl/RcbMy (and make SURE that there aren't any errors - errors such as not doing the SuperCID process correctly, therefore it can't flash - I say this because it seems like many users think the firmware is flashed and then find out their rom won't start, so don't be stupid and check whether or not an error has occurred just incase!)
3) Pick a rom
Revolution
Elegancia
Insert Coin
4) Flash the 4EXT recovery, I'm sure you already have clockwork mod on there but I think that's a bit buggier... so if I were you, I'd go for the 4EXT touch recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
5) If you wish, you can also flash for example: tweaks and addons by awsm devs which make our phone much better if you wish!
6) you're good to go! It's that easy.
Yeah, all you have to do is remove that P58IMG.zip from your sd card and your bootloader won't force you to update or w/e. You'll be fine.

And don't forget to md5 check for roms you download !

Thank you very much. It seems I hadn't performed the SuperCID part. Once I had done that I installed Elegancia and it is working perfectly.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me.

[Q] problem after ace hack kit accessing networks

I am having some bizarre problems after running the ace hack kit to root my Inspire HD. Basically after running step 3 3 S-OFF, SuperCID and More
I cant get access to internet, ie browser, google network etc.
Phone works, sound is ok.
I tried to restore to stock and redo. but I've gone through this loop a few times. and now I'm stuck in no-mans land. cant get completely back to stock and cant get to a full root.
problem originated the first time through when I did not uninstall the HTC sync - I didnt realize it was running as I only installed for the driver.
Then when repeating, I got an incoming call during the process. I think this disrupted the script.
Any ideas

It might be because you are still on the downgraded rom and radio...which if you stopped after step 3, then you probably are
Try flashing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
It's a rooted stock rom with all the updates, should get everything up and running...then from there you can flash a custom rom if you prefer....
I'm actually kinda stuck between the two. not rooted so I cant run clockwork to flash, but not stock so the root script doesnt run clean.

Well that rom can't be flashed using clockwork.....you have to flash that one through hboot....
So if you boot into hboot at the very top it should say whether you are s-off or s-on...if your s-off you are good to go...
If you dont know how to get to hboot...its easy...
-turn off fast boot
-shut down phone
-turn on phone by holding down the power button and volume minus button at the same time, and hold it till the hboot screen loads..then release.
thanks
I have S-off, and I know how to get into Hboot, but I've never used it before.
I've been doing the trial and error thing and its not working too well....
so let me ask a few questions.
I take it that the rom.zip has to be on the sd card. doest the SD card need to be formatted in a specific way?
does the rom file need to be named anything specific?
once I get into Hboot, I believe the optin would be to select recovery.
Will that give me a prompt to select the rom file?

Instead of answering each specific question..I'll just post the steps, which should answer all your questions....
-Download the rom, (I would suggest the one that allows for side loading, but either is fine)
-rename the zip to....PD98IMG.zip (it has to be named exactly that)
-place it on the root of your SD card (meaning not inside of any folders)
-unplug you phone from your computer
-boot into Hboot....when you get there, dont press anything, just wait...it will automatically locate the zip....the first 2 attempts will fail, then the 3rd one will work....it will then ask you if you would like to update
-push volume up to update
EDIT: no need to format the sd card and when flashing a PD98IMG.zip, you never go into recovery....
EDIT2: once you get this flashed, you can then then download rom manager from the market, and flash clockwork recovery....which will allow you to flash any of the other custom roms using recovery....
If you're S-OFF, then you don't need anything special with teh SDCard (gold card not needed with S-OFF). Just rename the file PD98IMG.ZIP and be sure it is in the root of the SDCard. Don't worry too much; this method is more foolproof than others as the HBOOT does sanity checks on the image files in the zip and won't flash anything but the correct image to the correct partition.
Thanks guys, this worked. I'm back in business... trying not to screw thinkgs up
-my previous experience was rooting a nookcolor, which was a whole different process, since the SD has boot priority.

[Q] Using official HTC unlocker for Sensation, Help installing Cyanogen

I recently "unlocked" my HTC Sensation 4g through HTC's official method. However, after successfully unlocking it, my phone is still set on S-On. Because of this, I am not recognized as a superuser, and so I cant boot into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Can anyone who knows more than me about this please give me a hand? This is my first time attempting any of this.
to make sure i understand this correctly- your phone now says "unlocked" at the top,but is still s-on?
what have you done to root?
once you have a truly unlocked bootloader,you can install a recovery thru that bootloader,and then flash superuser in that recovery.
having superuser permissions within a rom and being able to boot to a recovery shouldnt have anything to do with the bootloader.
if you are unable to install clockwork,or some other custom bootloader thru htcs "unlocked" bootloader,then they have lied to us... its not truly unlocked. that or something happened during the unlock process,possibly.
sorry im not of more help,its been awhile since i looked at the developer website. are there support forums there?
if everything is functioning correctly and you cant load whatever you want thru hboot,this unlock program is a joke. you could have gotten s-off with revolutionary or an xtc clip and not alerted them to the fact that you were messing with software and potentially "voided all or parts" of your warranty.
please keep us updated on this- im very interested to know how it turns out.
Thats exactly what it says. The method I used is on the front page of the htc dev site.
(the forum wont let me post outside urls yet)
The top of my H-boot screen says
"*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PUT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.80.0000
eMMC-BOOT"
So this is a problem. I think...
I just figured the official method through HTC would be the easiest and safest
Oh and when I try and flash Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM manager this is the message I get
"You must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superusuer was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su. Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
or
"An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands."
So what have you done to root besides unlocking the bootloader? Just tried to install rom manager and clockwork?
Unless you have done something else,you are not rooted,you are just unlocked. Search the sensation forum for a PxxxIMG file that is clockwork recovery. When named that,and placed on root of your SD,hopefully your hboot will find and flash it.
Once you have done that,delete the PxxxIMG From your SD card,and place the superuser.zip file on it. Enter recovery thru hboot,and flash superuser.zip.it will install the root files.
After that you should be rooted.
Later I can try and find some links if you can't find them. PxxxIMG will be specific to the pyramid,I'm not sure what it is. For example,this type of file for the thunderbolt is PG05IMG.
Hope that helps.
edit:
here are some links for you:
download clockwork from here or multiupload (found the download in this thread)
download from one of those 2 places. rename the download "PG58IMG" and place on the root of your sd card. boot to hboot(power+vol down). when asked to update chose yes.
download superuser from here (this is the one i always use. found it here)
after deleting or renaming PG58IMG from your sd card,put the superuser.zip,boot to hboot,select recovery,then flash the superuser.zip.
hope it helps

Well I tried what you recommended and it did not work. But then I tried revolutionary and I managed to get s-off. However HBOOT doesnt recognize the P58IMG file. It just keeps saying P58IMG.*** NO IMAGE. (*** being different file types).
Im not sure if I need to try the recovery now that Im s-off but I cant flash the superuser file either.
gah! i wish you hadnt run revolutionary yet,as now we wont really know if your "unlocked" s-on hboot would have allowed the flash like a truly s-off one will.
one thing i know for certain,is that the troubles youre having werent because you were s-on. being able to place the superuser app,aND matching binary within the OS is not dependent on the hboot being s-off. s-off is handy,as it allows another method of flashing partitions like the radio and recovery. in the old days,before all the exploits were patched,alot of devices were rooted and a custom recovery installed from within the OS without ever bothering with the bootloader. the eris is a good example- prolly 95% of the eris community is still s-on and they change roms and such all the time.
-so i guess you downloaded the PG58IMG from multiupload? when i tried the first link,there was no valid attachement.
-you did name PG58IMG,correct? if you did name the file "P58IMG" maybe thats the prollem?
-make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32( not just plain FAT) and make sure you put the file on the root(not inside another folder)
*assuming you named the file correctly,have a FAT32 sd card,and placed the file onto the root of the SD,what happend when you went to hboot?
heres what should happen: the green writing flashes,hboot finds a PG58IMG file,then youll see a blue status bar on the far left as the phone unpacks it,then gold as it checks it. since the recovery file is small youll see that very fast. then you should get the "vol up to update" prompt.
if you have named the file correctly,FAT32 card,etc. maybe you just got a bad download. try downloading it again.
i downloaded and checked it- it contains a recovery image and an android info file,so it should be good to go. if you want to verify the integrity,the md5 i got is: 940fa14af3dcd055132adf292f668ad3
last and not least,if you ran revoltuinary it should have installed clockwork for you. if you dont want to keep messing with PG58IMG files,just run revoltionary again. it should detect your s-off,then ask if you want to install clockwork.
im sure youre getting a lil fustrated,but the method for rooting new phones is what im reccomending you to do:
1)unlock bootloader(revolutionary or htc unlock)
2)install recovery thru bootloader
3)install superuser files from recovery
it does work,i promise... ive done it many times on my thunderbolt.
Awesome, everything worked great. I had a few hitches but I figured them out. Thank you so much for all the help, I really appreciate it.
Until just now... I installed cm7 and now when i boot up my phone all I see is about 6 seconds of the cm7 start up animation (the one with the blue android guy on a skateboard). Then the phone starts up that same animation again. Its been doing this for about an hour now.

sounds like you didnt do a full wipe. pull the pattery,go back to recovery thru hboot,and wipe data/factory reset,wipe cache,wipe dalvik chache,and format /system. i dont usually format /system,but when youre stuck in a bootloop it cant hurt
well it was my own dumb fault... like extracting the .zip files instead of leaving them compressed.
And yeah now i totally have cm7 running! thanks for all the help man. I really appreciate it

"PG58DIAG" and "No Img or Wrong IMG"

Hello folks!
First off I hope this problem hasn't been posted previously since I searched and couldn't find it.
I have on my HTC sensation the Android Revolution _HD-Sensation_3.6.11 or 3.6.2 I for some reason have two on my computer and can't remember which one I put in. The phone's HBOOT is 1.17.1111 and I can't remember when I put that update in either. My concern is that I want to update the software as I'm noticing some issues with the phone again and so downloaded the Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 for HTC Sensation from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Upon putting said zipped file in SD card and going into bootloader it t says the message above: "Loading...[PG58DIAG.zip] No img" and below that: "Loading...[PG58DIAG.nbh] No img or Wrong img" It repeats like that on the screen. I remember having this issue before as well when I updated the phone last, so I downloaded, as I was instructed to, "PG58IMG" and mounted it on the SD card. It fixed the problem then, so doing it again this time it didn't fix the problem for me. First off, I hope I have the correct ROM as trying to search for the updated version of the ROM I have I was unsuccessful in. So then I decided let's do this since it has ICS. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance.
Are you running the latest firmware ? 3.32 is needed for ARHD 6.5.1
Also, you said you where using [PG58DIAG.zip] It should be PG58IMG i think you maybe using the wrong file,
Im still a noob, i only had this sensation 2 days so i maybe wrong.

HBOOT 1.17.1111 will work with GB ROMs but not ICS ROMs.
You need to flash the appropriate firmware and as stated PG58IMG.zip is the correct filename on the SDcard. After flashing pop out the card while it boots up reinsert the SDcard and delete/rename the PG58IMG.zip file.
Look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 for the firmware. I've seen folks posting problems with the most recent firmware but haven't followed them.
I guess Mike's ARHD thread should have firmware in it with some guidance.

One last question if I may, I noticed on the threads that there were apps and even built in features which would back up my phone, including my sms text messages. Now I'll follow the advice on the thread and remove sim card for the just in case (but since all contacts are synced to Google account it won't matter), what I really wanna back are all my text message conversations, not even so much the apps themselves as I can always re-download them later on. I want to back up my music playlist as well if it's possible at all. I know I'll have it all on my SD card, but the playlists are all on the phone itself and that is what I really want to back up. I thank you all once again for all the feedback as well as the help provided, wish me luck for I'll be at it tomorrow.

There are two main backup methods:
1 Nandroid Backup/Recovery. You do this via your recovery, e.g. CWM. This is a whole phone backup.
2 An app like Titanium, with this you can backup and recover apps and their data individually. If you go down this route DO NOT restore any system apps if you change ROMs as it'll cause problems. Restoring your downloaded apps and data is fine. You can "probably" restore some system data, like SMS. Before you recover any system data DO A NANDROID BACKUP first so if it screws up anything you can just restore the phone to its previous state.
Use SMS Backup & Restore or SMS Backup+ for backup Your SMS.
I think titanium backup is suitable for music playlists.
Sensation stuck on boot
Hey guys, So I initiated flash today and have come across a slight problem;
I followed the guides on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21989107
I saw that the first thing to have done was install 4ext recovery. I followed the read me and tried the "adb reboot bootloader" but it kept saying device not found. Then I noticed I had it already in my phone, so I ran the backup and it said back up complete. So then I turned off the phone, rebooted into bootloader and waited for the update. However, it said "error invalid CID and can't update. Press power to reboot" It was the only option given. So then, I followed the guide on Kohr-Ah's page and took out the SD card, rebooted into bootloader, went to Recovery, ran superwipe and installed ARHD 6.5.1 with Beats Audio. After everything went done and well, it rebooted and turns on but once the beats logo completes its circle, it gets stuck on the beats page. I ran the wipe again, and reinstalled ARHD and still gives the same result. Any body know how I can solve it?
I also forgot to say that when I try to install the PG581IMG (the firmware) it says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted.

I think I just bricked my phone...

Okay, I just installed "[19.03][ROM][X Series] Virtuous S4V Alpha3 [Sense 4.0 Android 4.0.3]" everything seem to installed fine and then I rebooted to try it out. It kept on rebooting, I am no professional modder and I have no idea how to fix this. If anybody can help me out it would be amazing.
Did you update firmware before flashing?
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium
I don't think I did, I was following the guide on XDA and after I finished rooting my phone (just today) I followed this part of the guide
To install a Custom ROM - you will not lose data or apps with this method!
1. Download your chosen ROM by other developers in the development threads and copy the ZIP file to your SD Card ROOT directory
2. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions above)
3. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT! (skip this step if you have already made a backup previously)
4. Navigate to "install zip from sdcard" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select)
5. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
6. Then select "your_chosen_rom.zip"
7. Then select "Yes - install your_chosen_rom.zip" to confirm
8. Then go back
9. Then reboot.
10. First boot will take quite some time -This is normal, i know you want touch your nice shiny phone but BE PATIENT - ENJOY!
I don't know how to install this firmware...
Edit*
I also factory reseted my phone out of nervousness if that caused any problems :/
Now I really regret rooting my phone, I should have stopped after the possible risks.
Rooting the phone doesn't cause any issues. All it does is give you full access to the phone. Do me a favour, go into your bootloader Power on and hold volume down and read what version your Hboot is. It needs to be 1.27 to run ICS roms. If it is 1.17 or 1.18 that will cause boot loops. It is very easy to fix.
Thank you for replying, my HBoot is 1.18. I guess that was the problem why it messed up.
How do I update my Hboot?
Ok go to this thread here: and download the the 3.32 firmware. If you are supercid then download any.
If not match the firmware for your type of phone eg t-mobile, vodaphone o2 etc... Once you downlaod it, put the zip on to the root of your SD card and go back into HBoot. it will ask you do you want to update and follow the instructions. Then delete the file from your SD card so you can get into recovery. Job done
Thanks for your help but I am still new at this, how do I open my SD card on the computer using bootloader/Clockwork Recovery
Firmware is easy to flash but you need s-off via revolutionary first.

I searched on the web that because I only have GB supported HBoot and that I currently run a ICS rom it will create a bootloop, now the solution is to install a GB ROM to my phone but I really don't know how to add files to my SD card since I don't know how to get it to show up on HBOOT.
This is where having a MicroSD to SD card adapter comes in handy! You can then just plug the card into your PC to add files to it
Was the phone branded when you go it? Where did you get it from?

It is a virgin locked phone. I don't have a microSD to SD card adapter but I could buy one tomorrow
Edit*
Actually I find a usb lookalike that seems to allow MicroSD to connect to it "Micro SD USB 2.0"
Okay I have plugged it into my PC... thanks for the idea. Now should I install the latest HBOOT?
I want to thank everybody that has tried to help me so far, I am happy that everybody was willing to put up with a rookie like me. I am currently installing the latest HBoot and I hope this will work.
Edit*
I think it is working as it is currently taking a long time to load on the HTC One screen, I really hope this works now (haha this seems to be like a blog now)

Question about Viper rom

Hey everyone, made an account just for this question but it turns out I can't ask it in the appropriate forum thread because I'm a noob.
So here it goes: just rooted my phone for the first time and installed the Viper rom using Rom Manager, and it's stuck in the boot screen. Think it's been like this for 10 minutes now. Is this normal, or what should I do?

Upgrade your firmware to 3.33 - follow the [GUIDE] posts and tools in Sensation General and Development forums - note: you may need to S-OFF, in which case if your hboot version is 1.17 or 1.18 go to revolutionary.io else go to unlimited.io - for JuopunutBear S-OFF it is best to follow the guides by ganeshp in Sensation General forum

Thanks a bunch, Although I think I do have a serious problem, since the recovery image sends me back to the viper rom - the one which won't go past the boot screen.
I have my phone plugged into my computer but my computer won't recognize the phone (it's in bootload mode) "recovery" goes back to the viper rom, as well as the factory reset. (and I did back up my unrooted version but I think because I hit the backup thing in the viper installation it overwrote that)
So yeah. Did i just **** up my phone for good? =\
(and thanks for responding )
[[ Edit : I've taken my SD card out of my phone, and mounted it into a card reader and am now putting a stock rom onto the SD card, going to see if I can install the stock rom and work from there. ]]

Hi,
Try following THIS GUIDE
Start again from scratch.Follow it to the letter.
Well, Reporting back here.
I first installed this ROM back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 back onto my phone to get it functional again,
then I followed This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
followed up by doing everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
checked my phones versions : Android 4.0.3 , Sense 3.6 and software version 3.33.401.106
felt confident of trying the viper ROM again, but it's stuck on it's loading screen again. What do you guys advice? I think I'm going to try a different ROM just to see what happens.
Also wanted to thank both of you for trying to help, it's much appreciated.

Hi,
When you are s-on,you have to use smartflash in 4EXT every time you install a ROM.
I think there is a way described in Asskicker's thread to enable it permanently.
Read through the thread.
Hi just thought I jump in on this thread as I also do not have permission to post directly in Rom thread...
Running latest version of Viper 1.3.5 and must say it's great...
When sound profile is on loud, and screen turns off there's a notification sound each time. Any way to switch this sound off? I've searched through tweaks and personalisation settings can't see anything.
Not a show stopper by any means just curious

Had the same problem. You need to smartflash to make it work. Easy. Simple. Done.
