Hi guys.
I'm a newbie in andriod and this is my first time to root the phone.

I tried to factory reset, it tried to read some files from the memory card but the progress bar was not moving and then reboot at HTC quietly brilliant screen.
I also tried to do recovery, but i saw a red exclamation mark...
I don't know what to do anymore, please help...

Seems you installed an ICS firmware but probably you have a GB rom this is why it bootloops.
What rom you were trying to flash?
Did you install a custom recovery first? (like CWM or 4ext?)
First: delete PG58IMG.zip from sd card
second: reboot in bootloader and go to recovery (hope you have installed a custom recovery).
Then, from recovery flash the rom (assuming is an ICS rom and you put in the root of your sd card already).
Hope it helps.

+1. Also download SuperWipe from the ARHD thread and run it before installing your new shiny ICS ROM.

Hi kualmente.
I was trying to flash Revolution HD. I was doing step 2 to install the recovery, and i forgot where i downloaded the file with the name PG58IMG.zip, which is the ICS rom.
I didn't installed any recovery, because it was the recovery that i tried to installed then this issue came out. I tried to select recovery from the bootloader with or without the sd card, all i got is a red exclamation mark......
I think i'm in deep shi t......... please help me

You need to flash custom recovery first. All flashable zips from bootloader are called PG58IMG. So chose the right one and do not forget where you downloaded.
The exclamation mark means you are on stock recovery. No worries.
Re-download the custom recovery and put on root of sd card (means not into a folder).
Download CWM recovery from HERE
Then:
1) Reboot while pressing vol down + power button. It will install recovery.
2) Delete PG58IMG from sd card.
3) Reboot again (like point 1)
4) go to recovery, scroll down untill you find superwipe(wathevername.zip)
5) go back
6) again install from sd card - chose zip from sd card. This time chose the rom (wathevername.zip).
Remember to use Vol -/+ to scroll and power button to select.
Last but not least, be patient and wait untill the entire process is completed and prompted to reboot system.
Hit thanks button if it helped!

Best thing is start again. First run ur Original RUU. Then if u r flashing ice u need to install upgrded firmware.

No need to go back to an RUU, potentially a big risk.
As an earlier post said get ClockworkMod (CWM) and install it. Then Superwipe then install your ICS ROM of choice
As stated all the bootloader flashable images are called "PG58IMG.zip". So the recovery and F/W will both be called that when you install them through bootloader. Hence it's a VERY good idea to clean up afterwards. When ever I download a PG58IMG.zip I rename it, e.g. to cwm-5.0.2.0-PG58IMG.zip, of course they have to be renamed to the correct name to flash them. This means I can easily keep track of the dammed files in case I need to use them again.

noob CWD mistake

Ok, I need a little help. I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0.1(ICS 4.0.3) on my HTC Sensation (T-mobile USA). I was using this tutorial:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. After I got S-Off to work I began to flash CWD. I made the mistake of copying the wrong PG58IMG.zip file over. Instead of CWD it was the updated ICS firmware. Now I'm stuck with HBOOT 1.23.0000, no CWD, no root. Where should I go from here? Should I try to fix the HBOOT or try to flash CWM another way. Do I need to use ADB? Here is a pic of what I'm working with.

Hi,
You could try to get hboot 1.17 HERE back on your phone.
Then try to finish the s-off process.
so how would I get HBOOT 1.17.0000 back on my phone since I get an error every time I try to flash it through a PG58IMG.zip file? Any links to tutorials I missed?

Hi,
Place the 1.17 PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader.
Make sure you do a MD5 checksum of the zip(google it)
Power down the phone,or remove the battery.
Power on holding down volume - and power button.
Let the update go through.
When it finishes,go back in to ROM and delete the PG58IMG.zip.
If you cannot get into ROM,remove the card and use card reader in PC.
You should then be able to carry on "Revolutionary".
Ooo you should be s-off still even after your did IMG.zip
if you completed the s-off before the you flashed the ICS then your s-off should still be there it wont show but its there, if you can try then IMG.zip that has the hboot 1.17

I did that. I'm not that much a noob. That is the problem I was asking in the first place. I cannot update that way. It says "Update Fail" on the screen. Also, the phone is S-OFF, didn't even flash the rom yet. Thanks for your help so far.
Ok I see the picture cause its saying incorrect phone model there is a pdimg.zip that will put your cid to 11111 once that done you should be able to.use and pdimg.zip
Ok, so where would I find that?
Ok, I had to use HTC dev tools to unlock bootloader, then use adb tools to ensure cid was 11111111. Then flashed bootloader back to 1.17.0000. Thanks for the guidance. Was more rewarding to figure somethings out instead of being guided through every step.
It is not mentioned in the firmware topic, but it seems important to do SuperCID before flashing the new firmware in case of problems. I've seen this problem elsewhere on this forum.
But it's nice to know that there is still a solution even if you do not have SuperCID.

if you want to flash a rom you should first get your phone s-off with revolutionairy
just download the program, let it do what it has to and then let it flash clockworkmod recovery
then you can put the .zip of your rom on your sd card and flash it with the "install zip from sdcard" option in clockworkmod

If you can see the white screen then you CAN enter bootloader. Two ways:
1. Connect to pc and "fastboot reboot-bootloader" on the fastboot or
2. Take battery out, hold vol- hard , insert battery and push the power button.
Flash the ruu from that screen

HTC Sensation XE stuck in bootloop [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I am trying to recover an HTC Sensation XE (PG58130), but I have no history on the unit, so I don't know if it's been modified or is genuinely faulty.
When you power the phone on, all you get is the HTC logo. Nothing else happens.
Vol Down + Power displays the following info:

I have tried "Factory Reset". I also put the phone into Recovery, then wiped data and cache, but still only get the HTC logo.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, does the information above suggest the phone hasn't been modified?
It hasn't been modified. It still is S-on and has the original hboot 1.18

you need to soff your device which will let you flash a custom rom....
so that you can bring back your phone from hell
here is the guide to all the basic steps which are required to flash any rom
guide link
Thanks - I'll take a look.
Does that void the warranty with HTC? I would like to retain the warranty where possible, but if that's the only option then I don't mind.

all the things you are doing are reversible but you need to be careful while doing it
Follow step by step for successful soff
Also STEP 5 in the guide helps you in reversing the process which will help you in claiming the warranty
PS: Read each and every step carefully and execute them ...then it'll be a piece of cake
Sorry, another question, but I want to make sure I get this right.
It says in the guide to run revolutionary and then connect the phone. However, it says the phone should be on and in HTC Sync mode.
Obviously this phone isn't powering on so that's a problem.
Any ideas?

oops forgot about that
try this
keep your phone in hboot mode (i.e. power + vol down button) you'll get a white screen
then run revolutionary (hopefully revolutionary detects the phone)
if it doesn't work (i mean if revolutionary didn't recognize your device) let me know..
Im currently looking for any other method and ill post you if i got any leads
EDIT:
found the guide (follow steps carefully)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
There seems to be different headers indicating different steps. Which steps should I follow in my case?
By the way, I saw your post before you edited it, and followed these steps to setup adb and fastboot: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
When I type 'adb devices' into cmd I get nothing (when in HBOOT), but when I go to fastboot and type 'fastboot devices' it shows me the phone's serial number. Is that normal?
Yeah that is normal.
Adb works when you are on your OS ie either GB or ICS and fastboot works when you are on bootloader..as fastboot was able to recognize your device can you post the cid
Command is "fastboot getvar cid"
Edit:
The thing is now you require a GB Rom which can be flashed which supports. your hboot and radio but by flashing that your hboot version should not change as that is the final version where soff works.
So try unlocking your device by using HTC dev and flash a stock 2.3 Rom mentioned in the guide.
Try the way where he mentioned about a member flashing rom (he has the same scenario hboot 1.18 and ics Rom on top of it with gb firmware)

yeah cid does require some changes...but have you tried
revolutionary by keeping your phone connected to your pc through usb ???
i mean when you ran revolutionary was it able to identify your device and asked for beta key??
if it did recognized your device then you'll be not having issues anymore
so just try revolutionary first and let me know the result
In the mean time i'll figure out the best solution for you
EDIT: Also you got recovery installed ?? can you check that by going into recovery from HBOOT -> (if it is an exclamatory mark with inverted triangle then stock recovery)
I ran revolutionary in HBOOT and it didn't do anything, just said it was waiting for the device.
Should it be in a different mode?
My recovery screen looks the same as this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

what about fastboot mode?
just try that too
let me know ASAP
(im online and ill give you further steps)
EDIT:
"I have tried "Factory Reset". I also put the phone into Recovery, then wiped data and cache, but still only get the HTC logo."
how did you wiped data and cache if you got stock recovery (fyi i haven't exploited stock recovery as i ran revolutionary and installed custom recovery the next minute i got my phone )
Even in fastboot mode, revolutionary just says "Waiting for device..."
To wipe data and cache I entered recovery, then pressed Vol Up + Power which brought up further options to wipe, etc.

finally i got the ruu which installed should give you the GB on it
1.here is the link to download the RUU (it will be big file 358 MB)
RUU link
this RUU.exe is based on your CID and Radio so it will run fine
2.Guide to install RUU
guide
3.if any issue persists (there is 1 common one which was fixed by a guy)
here is the link for the fix if you run into issue
RUU running issues fix
run the ruu.exe and your phone will be reverted back to GB rom
then if you want to update to ICS there are some basuc steps to be done...
i.e SOFF and all so follow the "Guide to SOFF ,supercid ...." thread
after that you can take take this guide as reference for installing any custom rom
EDIT:
ahh man the RUU may be wrong ( will update you about this)
i got another ruu
download this also...this seems more proper for your CID
RUU 2 LINK
Thanks, will reply once I've done all that. The file is downloading now. It says I have to ensure an ActiveSync connection is established, so here's hoping it lets me do that in HBOOT/Fastboot/Recovery.
UPDATE:
1.72 RUU one was for XE version
and 1.52 one was for normal sensation
Oh this one is XE so I need the first link you gave, right? And what mode do you recommend it to be in? Recovery, Fastboot or HBOOT?
EDIT: first link doesn't work once download is supposed to commence.

from HBOOT (as that is the default bootloader that pops up)
if this didn't work then try FASTBOOT

[q] **** locked ***** s-off

Hi guys, i want to root my phone but i can't, here is he:
***** LOCKED ******
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
CID: 11111111
I got the s-off, but I tried to flash the 4EXT or the CWM and i get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How can i root my phone?
Can any1 help me? I really want to root my phone, but i cant flash any recovery. What i have to do? flash a eng-hboot?
i for one, don't understand how you got s-off with that hboot
I think you aren't really s-off.
Try to downgrade then root, that may be one of your solutions
Before all this, my phone was rooted, i dont know how, it was:
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
RADIO-38.03.00.03_M
eMMC-boot
Then i flashed a RUU, to back to stock, now i got this:
***** LOCKED ******
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
I dont know what i have to do to root it again
If you flashed a RUU you are certainly S-ON and not rooted.
Try to downgrade but don't use the Htcdev method
According to Jack_R1 in this post i just need to flash this zip file, or am i wrong?
Can this .zip file work?
I don t think so.
In the index you have two methods to downgrade without using the Htcdev method.
After you downgraded you can obtain root S-OFF and flash what you want.
All the info required is in the index and in another 1000+ related topics.
Good luck!
You have S-OFF even after flashing RUU, and you have SuperCID (CID=11111111). This can mean only one thing - your phone was unlocked with XTC-Clip.
So, you're permanently S-OFF, and can flash anything you want from HBOOT (using PG88IMG.ZIP) - but NOT from FASTBOOT. To be able to fastboot flash something, you have to have re-engineered bootloader - but you don't have it, since you flashed stock RUU.
So, you can use the PG88IMG.ZIP that contains Eng HBOOT, the one you've found. It'll allow you to fastboot flash whatever you want.

It seems that you are one of the few lucky guys that have Stock S-OFF. The second picture is your Stock Recovery (if you press Volume Up + Power you will enter the menu)
To flash a custom ROM you need to flash a custom recovery - there is a link to an image in OP of the 4EXT Recovery thread.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path}\recovery.img
Then copy the ROM to your SDcard, go to recovery, full wipe and flash it

Check my sig for the downgrading guide. It is stated there how to manual flash. Check the details to understand better regarding flashing.

In the last step you go in recovery chose full wipe (except sdcard) and after that install zip and chose the ROM that you already copied to the sdcard. Then reboot and that's it

I try to Flash Custom Recovery but in cmd i god this message,can you help me with this
You can't fastboot flash without having eng (or unlocked) bootloader.
With your level of (not) understanding, I highly suggest you to leave your phone alone and read. If you feel like it's too complicated - read more, until you understand. If you don't understand - don't touch your phone, I'm sure it's good enough as it is.
