Please help!!

Today i bought an HTC Sensation i tried to get s-off which i thought i succeeded in and i got root, after that i just installed Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU straight from stock recovery. Now i have bootloops... The android version i had from the start was RUU​_Pyramid​_HTC​_Europe​_1.35​.401​.1_ please help me get my phone working, as i have no clue on what the hell i wrong?

you have to flash a rom compatible with that fw! but i suggest you to update fw to 3.24 and then flash the rom...
however this is not the right place to ask this

you flashed a firmware that was ICS compatible and you still had a GB rom on your device therefor putting you into bootloops. You need to flash firmware 1.17 from Here and be more carefull and follow the guide

but read and follow carefully the guide
is very simple, only 1-2 clicks but can be dangerous if you don't do it correctly
And put the script in the ADB folder or it wont run

There are other links on there for other providers. Who is your service provider?

THANK YOU!

You said you ran the RUU from recovery...do you mean you ran it through bootloader? First that PGIMG you need to remove that from your SD card after you install and before you reboot your device or it will loop forever.

i have it working.. thank you all please delete this thread moderators

What did you do, forget to remove firmware image off SD?? Im sure it might help others..

Read the stickies at the top of this forum before doing anything else or you are going to brick your phone. If you don't know how, don't do it. The stickies have tutorials in them that will tell you everything.

How about you try reading and researching a bit instead of asking for us to hold your hand? It's not that difficult to answer any of your questions by yourself.

How to Flash recovery?

I have followed the instructions how to flash recovery yet it just wont flash it tell me wrong image or no image. The recovery is on the root of the sd card but when I put into hboot screen it wont update. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Download that, install it, and flash the recovery from there.

Ok I am going to ask the obvious questions here.
1. Is the file name PG58IMG.zip? If not the stock recovery will not flash it.
2. Do you have the file on the root of your SD card? If not the stock recovery will not detect the file. If you do not know what the root of your SD card is, it imeans it is not in a folder.
3. Have you tried re downloading just in Case it is a bad down load?
4.have you checked your SD card with a reader to make sure it is a readable card?
5. Are you positive your bootloader is unlocked?
Edit:
6. Have you tried flashing it via ADB fastboot commands?

Ok if the bootloader is unlocked your Hboot would read either of the following.
S-offed via Revolutionary will say Revolutionary Shipped S-off or something like that, you will know if it is there.
S-offed via HTC Dev it will say Unlocked Shipped S-on.

Yes if you flash the official OTA file it will remove root. You only have to super CID if you want to be able to flash official ROMs from other regions besides your own. But saying that it is still a good idea to Super CID as some Custom ROMs may require it depending on what the ROM base is.

It will otherwise your gonna have to stay whit sense 3.0 roms and i think 3.5 aswell just root get s-off grt recovery flash rom power off go back into hboot whit the firmware on root of your sdcard it will ask for update do it reboot and enjoy and you can do supercid later if you wish..

You might not be bricked, are you stuck on the HTC boot screen? If so you need to flash the boot. IMG or flash 4ext and use smart flash.

Did you read my post? You need to flash boot. IMG or use smart flash. And most likely flash a ics firmware 3.32 or 3.33 use the search button to find out how.

he cant flash firmware ..when SON ...remember this and don't give suggestions to flash firmware ..when the person is SON
also OP if you post your complete bootloader details that would be helpful..to resolve it
and if you have adb/fastboot setup
connect your phone to PC ..from bootloader (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
then open a command prompt from adb folder
and type the below command and post the complete output (except IMEI and serial number)
fastboot getvar all

nope right now ..i think you cant run the ICS rom
what you can do is flash a ICS RUU based on your cid ..which will update the firmware in the process ...
you can find your correct RUU and flash it ..using this guide

Going back to Gingerbread 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0

Hi everyone,
I used 4ext recovery method and installed cyanogenmod 7.2 on my phone, now I want to go back to Sense 3.0 original that came with my phone, any tips on how to do it?
I went through some posts in Android Development and read that you can download a RUU and then try and install it, however that doesnt work as the RUU doesnt recognise my phone!! Also tried extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and then saved it on SD card and tried installing it through recovery, however that doesnt work too..
I'm new to this and a step by step approach will be appreciated.
Thanks

A step-by-step approach has been published many times - search the forums, read the stickies and make sure you understand what you are doing - but it really isn't hard to find the information.

If you want revert to GB you need change your misc_version.
Official HBOOT v2.xx Downgrade to OLD HBOOT
Saga Shipped ROM Collection
But also have a look at The Index for everything.

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").

ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???
