So I performed the HTC bootloader unlock, ran the Revolutionary S-Off. I when to install the PG58IMG, and what I thought was the CWM, turned out to be a radio IMG. Now I have the CWM .img and .zip. Everytime I go to Fastboot it is looking for the original PM58IMG.zip file. So I took the CWM .zip, renamed it to the .zip file the bootloader is asking for but it keeps parsing and saying no IMG found.
HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid 1.17.111, Android 2.3.4, ROM Version 1.50.531.1)
I have gone through as many of the forums as I can, but found no way of fixing this dilemma. The Phone is functional at this time, but my fear is I will screw something up if I keep going. I thought I was following the steps correctly, but I apparently did not.
Can anyone provide me the means to fix this or am I stuck?
Power off your phone, remove battery and sd card, insert your sd card into an adapter and then card reader on your pc. Next browse the files on the card and delete the zip from your sd card. Next find the correct recovery.img, I recommend 4ext, way better than cwm, there's a thread in development forum, download the zip, put it on your sd card, safely remove the sd card from your pc. Put your sd card back into your phone insert battery, boot into bootloader, h boot and choose to install package. You should be fine now.
You also need to root, follow the guides in development section.
Good luck.

Also super cid your phone, most custom ROMs require it and you will prevent problems later down the road if you want to run ICS.

Also, and this should be THE number 1 thing you do before anything else, get the RUU for your phone...saves panicking in the future
By default, the phone will always look for the pg58img or any other IMG zip when its boot to bootloader.... It's normal, don't worry about it. It will say "no image" if there's none found in your sd card's root... If you do have one and don't need it or after using it, remove it from your sd or else it will keep installing whatever inside that pg58img file everytime you boot.to bootlaoder....

Pardon my ignorance...Development forum for Sensation or general development forums? Also this was my hangup in the rooting process. I appreciate the response, but in my opinion my G2 seemed somehow more straight forward.
Sensation Development Forum.
Ok so I have downloaded, installed the 4ext.zip file onto a freshly formatted SD card. Re-ran the fastboot, once again It was still looking for the PG58IMG.zip. Didn't even see the 4ext.zip file. So I unzipped the file, put the unzipped folder on the SD, and again nothing.
Here is what is listed at the top of the H-Boot screen as it is listed:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
RADIO-10.11.9007.06_M2
eMMC-boot
Jun 2 2011.22:31:39
Then my list shows
HBOOT (highlighted)
<Vol Up>
<Vol Down>
<Power>
FASTBOOT (Highlighted)
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
Now when I go to Recovery, I get the phone image with a arrow circle, then it goes to a red triangle with "!" in the middle.
I am at an absolute loss here. That PG85IMG file I ran previously, was a radio flash I believe, and ever since, FastBoot see's nothing on the SD, unless i change the .zip file to that name, which then Parses.
I understand your frustration and worries, some devices are easier to root then others. As long as your phone is functioning you have nothing to worry about.
It's normal in H Boot for it to look for PG58IMG.zip file, don't worry about it if you deleted the PG58IMG.zip from the sd card nothing will happen. I apologize you have to be rooted first before you can install 4ext recovery, don't unzip it.
When you try to boot into recovery you have no recovery because you haven't installed one. Here is the link to all of the CWM Recoveries http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/ scroll down quite a bit to the pyramid one, that is the one you need for sensation.
Follow the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Step 3. To permanently root your Sensation - (This means you will NOT LOSE ROOT on rebooting)
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
10. Then go back
11. Then reboot.
12. You're rooted!
It will usually fail the first and second time, possible more but it will work. It will give you an install aborted message a few times, don't worry this is normal, just keep trying, it eventually works.

Ok, just so I'm clear, I download the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid.zip right? Because I have downloaded that at well, and the FastBoot continues to look for that PG58IMG.zip. No matter what I do, I cannot get it to recognize any .zip's on the SD. I have tried 3 SD card's now. Is there a way for me to reset the FastBoot?

That's what it supposed to do, if there's a PG58IMG.zip on your sd it will see it and ask if you want to update it. The CWM zip should be a PG58IMG.zip choose yes to install.
It won't recognize anything other than PG58IMG.zip as it is not supposed to, your need a custom recovery installed that is how you flash all other zip files.
The way I see the file you are downloading you have to rename it to PG58IMG in order for it to work.

Yup, did that too, and unfortunately it keeps parsing.....so frustrating. The only thing I can come up with is to try to figure out a way to start over, but at this point, not sure that is possible. Let me try something and I'll post results.
I GOT IT!!!!!! I finally found the correct PG85IMG.zip file after multiple searches. I actually found the right file from:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bqy928akq0oty8e
I downloaded it and it fired right up! I'm backing up the image now, and am getting ready to invoke su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip now.
I appreciate the input, and have "Thanked appropriately"
Glad you got it working. I know a lot of the links got messed up when the feds shut down certain file sharing sites.

You are actually doing a mistake. Remember your sensation's hboot can only read a zip file whose name is PG58IMG.zip. Generally it is an uncompressed zip file. So anything (like radio, splash, recovery) you want to flash has to be inside this (PG58IMG.zip) uncompressed zip file along with another file called android-info.txt. The file android-info.txt just contains your CID and MID. So HBOOT check the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard---> reads the android.info.txt ---> checks your CID ----> if it matches , then hboot prompts for an update . If does not match , hboot gives an error something like "model id incorrect". So if you want to install a custom recovery , you have to download your recovery file . Generally it is .img format. Then you have to rename it recovery.img , then pack it in a uncompressed zip file along with android-info.txt. The resulting zip file has to be renamed as PG58IMG.zip . Following is the method what you need to follow.
1. Download an appropriate PG58IMG.zip file from this thread. By the word appropriate I mean that the PG58IMG.zip is having your CID and MID. Hope you know your CID and MID. The PG58IMG.zip can be of any version. I would suggest V1.17 as it has less files. If you are superCID, then you can download V1.17 firmware from any section.
2. Download latest 4EXT recovery touch from the development forum. It will be in img format. Rename it to "recovery.img"
3. Open the PG58IMG.zip by winrar on your pc.
4. Delete all the files except the android-info.txt.
5. Add "recovery.img" into the PG58IMG.zip .
6. Now your PG58IMG.zip contains only two files i.e "recovery.img" and "android-info.txt"
5. Save the PG58IMG.zip.
6. Copy the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard.
7. Boot your phone into bootloader.
8.Your phone will prompt for update.
9. Say "yes" by pressing volume up key.
10. Once it is finish your phone will reboot and you will have 4ext touch recovery on your phone.
11. Now you are ready to install any custom ROM of your choice. Your present bootloader is 1.17 which supports only gingerbread rom . If you want to install ICS ROM then read here.

What exactly did you download and provide the link so others can confirm?
If it's the .img it need to either be flashed via fastboot or putting into a PG58IMG.zip file.
If you have the "zip" file it need to be renamed to be exactly "PG58IMG.zip". I uploaded a copy some time back, I'll see if I can find the post again.
what will happen?thanks!
If you try boot into recovery using the key combination then it'll reflash the firmware I think.
you will be asked if you want to flash the file again.
Just say no by pressing the correct volume button.
You wont be able to get into your recovery until you delete the file. Take the card out and delete the file and you should be ok.
If you don't delete then every time when you boot in to bootloader it will ask you to flash recovery again.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Those are a lot of incomplete answers.
It will not allow you to reach the recovery or any other options in the bootloader because the bootloader will read the file and ask if you want to update, if you say no, it just reboots. If you say yes, it reflashes. The only way to get back your bootloader and recovery is to delete that file.
I had to use another phone to delete the file from my SD card as i facing continuous bootloop...
dont need second phone
take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

indeed, agree 100% with you. the adaptor is the easiest and fastest way to copy/delete that pg58img file.
if u lucky, u can get 2x card reader for £0.99 (ebay)... and sell the 2nd one (just done that )
Ceed is on the correct path, but you don't even need to go that far. If you simply take out the memory card, boot the phone, then put the memory card back in, you can delete the file using any file explorer program from the market. I prefer Root Explorer, but really anything will work. Hope that helps.
You don't have to delete it. Simple as 'adb reboot recovery'
Hi, currently trying to boot cyanogen mod 9 onto my HTC One X (There is no forum on here for this phone, but I believe it may be called the HTC Evo 4g in the US). I am having trouble installing the ROM. I'll take you through the steps I have done:
1. I have unlocked the bootloader
2. I have flashed Clockwork Recovery in fastboot
3. I have flashed CM9 in fastboot
When I reboot the phone, it get's stuck at the boot screen, which I have seen described as a boot loop. So I have booted into clockwork recovery and searched for the CM9 zip file and there are no files found. I have then tried to mount the usb to flash directly from there, but to my understanding you cannot mount in clockwork recovery.
what can I do here?
Try copying the zip rom to your sd card via Card reader
else try copying the zip rom to sdcard using adb push method (for that you need sdk installed in your pc)
and try again.
Wat was exactly your mobile Evo 4G or One X?
Did the installation succesfull?
Did u installed correct ROM?

I have the HTC One X and as far as I am aware I am using the correct ROM. I Have tried a few different download sources.
when doing fastboot flash boot boot.img in fastboot it says successful. so when I reboot the phone it get's stuck at the HTC One X screen. the rom zip file is not found when using recovery. this leads me to think that fastbooting the rom is not pushing the rom zip file onto the internal SD card.
Back to your proposals -
1. The phone does not have an sd card slot, so I can't use a card reader.
2. What is adb? I have the SDK installed, with the adb.exe file as well. Is adb just an alternative to fastboot? what would be the command line syntax to get adb to push the rom zip file onto the internal sd card so that I can find it within recovery?
interestingly, if i factory reset and wipe all cache then the phone aoutomatically boots into bootloader upon turning the phone on. but after flashing the rom file using fastboot, the phone will boot into the normal start up process and get stuck. so it would appear that fastboot is pushing the rom onto my phone. very strange!

Ok, I have a problem very similar to threads Ive found by with some minor differences. Hoping for some answers to this nightmare....
I have an AT&T One X - unlocked, rooted and flashed. I was running Viper XL and using TWRP recovery 2.3.10. Yesterday, I decided to flash a Liquidsmooth ROM using flash image gui......everything went fine with install until it hung on liquidsmooth boot screen, for an hour. Figuring there was an install error, I rebooted into twrp to do a recovery. Recovered back to Viper XL and was thrown into bootloop - HTC screen/Viper Boot...over and over again. Finally decided to stop before I destroyed anything.....so here's where I am now. The phone has been reset, sd card was wiped but I can still boot into TWRP without a problem. However, now there is no backup or ROM zip on this SD card.
So my guess is that first and foremost I need to get a ROM on that SD card, however (I'm on a Mac) when I plug the phone in, I get a "No Android Device Connected" in the dialog and when trying to mount SD card via TWRP, the "Mount SD Card" box wont tick.
If I view the log file in TWRP I see a lot of 'could not mount SD card' errors.....
I don't want to keep screwing with it and make things worse. Considering this has happened with both CM10 and LiquidSmooth, my guess is I should just stick with Viper for now, so any help getting this back on here would be hugely appreciated! I have no access to a PC, only a mac.....

If you're on Hboot 1.14 and are S-On you need to manually "flashboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot from the bootloader menu whenever you flash a new ROM. Go to the bootloader and click "fastboot" then plug in your USB connected to the computer and it should now say "fastboot usb" assuming your drivers are installed (it might install them after you plug your phone in). Now you can flash the boot.img from the rom zip manually via the fastboot command window.
EDIT: Sorry didn't realize you were on Mac. I would first figure out how to mount the SD card as removable storage and not an Android device. You may have to format it as a file system first. At least that's what I had to do when this happened to me when I first flashed but i'm on Windows. I should of read your post more thoroughly.
So this would be done from the terminal? I was able to boot onto fastboot, connected USB cable and now show fastbootusb. I downloaded the ViperXL rom again, so I should extract the boot.img and flash this via terminal?
Are the commands the same on a mac? And how do I then get the rom onto the SD card?
Am I correct in my assumption that this is the answer? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693372

I don't want to give you too much advice since I don't have a mac but I would assume they're the same except you need to have fastboot/adb on your computer but since the ones I have are .EXE files they're not going to work on OSX. However, If fastboot usb came up the computer is reading the phone so you may be able to open the SD card as removable storage on you computer thats how it is on Windows. So once you do that you can just move the ROM zip onto the card. But, like I said you're going to need to figure out a way to flash the boot.img separately or else you won't be able to boot into the ROM when it's installed (you'll just bootloop). You're going to have to do that with every new ROM you flash if you're still S-On.
Wish I can be more help but i'm not that versed in OSX.
you can use [APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode! to flash boot.img fine before flashing the rom. it will search the rom zip for the boot.img and flash it. you can also flash recovery using the app also. some roms place boot.img in other locations other then the root of the zip in which case you might have trouble selecting the whole zip, but you can just extract the boot.img and flash it fine.

No problem - thanks for the help you can offer. It seems my bigger problem is getting a ROM onto the SD card - Ive read several similar threads and from what I can tell, doing a factory reset through TWRP means I need to reformat the SD card, which is why it wont mount. Does this sound reasonable?
And if so, is it as simply as "Wipe external storage - SD CARD" in TWRP?

And yes you will have to reformat the SD card I don't know how to go about doing it OSX though. I'm sure a google search will help. The method should be the same for any type SD card plugged into OSX. But remember flashing the boot.img will be the other issue.

doing a factory reset in hboot corrupts your sdcard.
once you get adb/fastboot working try running "fastboot erase cache" that clears out the part of cache where the settings for twrp reside, that is why when you format cache in twrp you always see 16MB when you fastboot erase cache it goes to 0MB but for recovery to store it's settings you need to rewipe cache and dalvik in twrp.

I think my inner idiot is kicking in. I believe I already have fastboot installed - perhaps Im missing something. I went through this process before and have all of these same files still on my desktop. I'm able to boot my phone into the bootscreen (white screen) and TWRP without problems....the only issue I have right now is my SD card and getting a ROM pushed to it. I've gotten two conflicting bits of advice that im reluctant to try....one of them states I should just boot into TWRP and do a "Wipe external storage" and the other one says I should format it using disk utility in OSX. When I boot into TWRP and hit "mount", Im given four options, mount system, mount data unmount cache and mount sd card...the ONLY one I cant select is mount sd card.

your SD Card is maybe not there when you have done an factory reset in hboot.
then you Need to Format it in stock recovery.
like in the first link from me

Not sure what you should do really this happened to me but I forgot what I did. I ended up just formatting the card with the disk utility in Windows but I don't remember if I had to re-flash the recovery or not afterwards.
So I should just use this method again, regardless of whether I may have done it before, correct? This will format in stock recovery?
In the APK folder, there are two fastboot files, one 'fastboot' and one 'fastboot-mac' - i want the -mac one obviously, right?

That page is no longer found but yeah seems like that would be the one to use.
I can't give you much advices on a MAC, I don't use one.
but if you have working fastboot and ADB this could workout.

Ok - I believe that fastboot is working correctly. I get this output from terminal
Mac-Pro:android originalseven$ ./fastboot-mac devices
HT29SW306500 fastboot
Mac-Pro:android originalseven$
So it's showing a connection between phone and computer.......
The next logical step would be....format the SD card?
Thank you guys sooooo much for the help!!!
Trying to update my firmware, I downloaded the santod040 all in one update, renamed it to 0P6BIMG.ZIP and put in SD card then boot in bootloader and to hboot but it doesn't prompt me to install. It's like it's not seeing it.

Don't rename the download from santod040 - it should the M8AllInOne. Place it into your adb folder. Then:
How to manually flash firmware zips:
(sd card method also works, but I recommend fastboot)
Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
Put the device in fastboot mode
(Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
Connect the device to the computer
Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (rename file to firmware.zip to make it simple/optional)
It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This will not wipe, and you will end up with current Verizon radios
Thanks for your reply.... I wasn't clear, I renamed the all in one update to 0P6BIMG.ZIP, then place it in SD card. Using the SD card method, once I go to hboot it should automatically find it but it doesn't.

Are you you sure you name it correctly? Make sure the leading character is the number 0 not the letter. Make sure it's on the ROOT of the external (removable) sd card. I think I recall that it has to be formatted as fat32 but I'm not entirely sure on that one. Also, make sure that it hasn't been renamed as 0P6BIMG.ZIP.ZIP due to your pc not displaying known extensions. That seems to get a lot of people caught up.
If all that checks out, do you see your bootloader run through the half dozen or so checks for file names (one of which being yours, another one is 0p6bdiag or something like that)?
Figured it out! I have SD card and SD card 2.... I had to put the zip in the SD card 2 file of phone. Thanks for everyone's help!!
