what do I do!??! help
Don't quote me on this, but you should be able to put your SDcard in a card reader and put it on your card as PD98IMG.zip and Hboot will flash it.

Download the custom rom and place it on the sd card. Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, install custom rom.

This is true. I softbricked mine the other night pulling fonts around. Pull your sd card out and go to hboot. (you could leave it in if you DO NOT have a pd98img on your card) then reinstall after you get to recovery. As posted above you should still have your original rom on your sd card flash this if you don't have a cardreader. Good Luck!
where can I get this pd189.img
Download the ROM you want to your computer and rename it exactly to PD98IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your SDCARD. Hboot will automatically install it.

its easier to just put the rom on your sd card and boot into recovery..... Did you not make a nandroid back up? If you didn't then maybe that is something you might want to start making a habit of...
Get into recovery from hboot. There is an option in there to enable usb and you can use it like an flash drive like in android. Here are the steps.
1) boot into hboot (volume down then power button)
2) use the volume rocker to go to recovery
3) in recover scroll down to mounts and storage
4) scroll down to mount usb storage
This should allow you to view your sd card like u do in android when u select usb mode. From here you can put your rom on unmount and install. Good luck hope this helps.
I've found a lot of threads, but I need some pointed help up here. I just got my Sensation XE and like to root this device. But after the Revolutionary tool It got S-OFF but whenever it's getting into the HBOOT it likes to update (parse) the SD ZIP.
Can someone help me out how I can get into Recovery mode without getting the update question every time I get into HBOOT?
Hello,
you simply need to remove the zip file or rename its extension.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but once you're S-OFF you have to install Rom Manager that will download and flash the ClockworkMod Recovery for you.
Hope this helps
You're right... I just found out that it was searching the zip files and deleted the file! Stupid of Me...
I'll see if I can find a nice HTC Sensation Rom for the XE.
Thnxz

I got the same problem except i got a rom i cant use with the one i just installed, i need to get into recovery to install the new rom or my phone wont boot.. How do i get around to delete/rename the .zip?
Use a card reader and a SD card adaptor to delete/rename it with your computer.
Or take the SD card out and try to boot to Hboot, once in Hboot put the SD card back in and then select recovery. You can either just flash your ROM then or use the USB mass storage mode in recovery to delete/rename the file.

I'd probably go with this route. But simply using common sense.. why can't you just take out your sd card and boot up your phone? You could probably wait until the phone is ready to go when it loads up OR insert the sd again while it's on the loading screens.. can you not do that?
I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am! But I don't recall a phone requiring the sd card to boot up
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'
