[Q] Flashed the wrong PG58IMG.zip - HTC Sensation

Very much a noob when it comes to Android phones and I have been working through the process to get a custom Rom on my HTC Sensation. I started following the instructions in this thread [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on and successfully completed step one, achieving s-off on the phone.
In step two things went badly wrong. Following the instructions I downloaded clockwork recovery and copied the PG58IMG onto my sd card, at least I thought I did. What I now realize is that since I had been doing a lot of reading and research on this topic before attempting it for the first time I had downloaded several relevant files in advance, one of which is the PG58IMG file from this thread [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [01.03.2012 and it was this file that I put on the sd card. Obviously not what I should have flashed at all. Especially since it seems that the tool which would help me out of this mess is the one I just failed to install properly.
So the situation is that the phone loops constantly on startup when booting normally. When I boot into HBOOT with the SD card in it tries to update again and when that fails, gives no option but to reboot. If I remove the SD card then I get access to the following screen -
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot
and below the options -
HBOOT
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
I have tried connecting the phone to my computer at this stage but I cant get FASTBOOT USB and adb cant find any devices either. Am I completely stuffed at this point? If not, if anyone can help me out with some instructions on what to do here I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks,
Webba

So have you tried to go into recovery once your in bootloader ? what happens then ?
If you get the correct files onto your sd card via a card reader, then put it in the phone, bootloader should attempt to update the new correct files.

I have tried going into recovery, it comes up with a pic of a phone with a green circle, followed by a phone with a red triangle, followed by going into the boot cycle. This is with the sd card removed. Am I right in thinking that if I get the right files onto the card and then run recovery with the sd card in it will work?

If you run BOOTLOADER then it should do... Make sure you remove the old PG58IMG before putting the new one on.

Thanks so much, I will try it as soon as I can. I assume I will find the right stock rom somewhere on these forums?

My Sensation was purchased in Hong Kong, after looking at the lists at shipped-roms this one - RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed.exe
seems to be most likely correct. Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm this? I would hate to flash the wrong thing again.

did you successfully get superCID ? if so i do believe that you can flash any RUU / ROM
Im not 100% on this as im still new to the sensation myself, But im sure thats the whole point in having SuperCID

Unfortunately I dont have superCID. I was following the instructions pretty slavishly and the superCID setup is one step after clockwork
Is there a way to get superCID in my phones current state? From what I am reading I need it to at least hook up to adb which it is not doing at the moment so I assume I just have to get the right onto the sdcard to have any chance of it working, right?

Yes, You need clockwork mod before SuperCID. Have you tried to re download CWM and put it on sd card ? It could have just been a bad download, it happens to us all.
Download it again, Remove the previous PG58IMG from SD Card via a card reader (if you have one) Put the new PG58IMG on SD card. Pull battery out, Put SD Card back into the phone, put battery back in and boot into bootloader (volume down + Power)
Bootloader should automatically find the PG58IMG and ask if you want to update it, Select yes and theoretically you should be fine..
EDIT: Use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=706572&d=1314848127

Yeah, I have re-downloaded CWM and made sure it is the right one I have to wait until the shops open here so I can pick up a micro sdcard reader but I will try the new CWM first, and if that fails then I will try the stock rom. Am I right in thinking that neither of this is likely to make the situation worse, even if they dont work?

No providing bootloader still works everything is fix-able..
We aint messing with bootloader so u will be ok.
Cant believe you dont have a card reader lol....

lol, up until today the only thing I needed to be able to read micro sd cards was the phone. Well, I will be better prepared next time anyway.
The thing that had me worried is that since I originally didn't realize PG58IMG was not a unique file name I am almost certain that the one on my sd card at the moment is not even CWM at all but one of the updated firmware ones I mentioned in the OP that I very stupidly mistook for it. It feels like a really serious mistake to make, but happy to know that if the boot loader is working then it should be fixable. I wasn't sure even about that.

I think the PG58IMG is a unique code that the phone reads and recognises as something to be flashed / updated.
Ive seen various things CWM / Firmwares / Updates with the same PG58IMG title. so maybe youre right and the original file you downloaded wasnt the correct one.
Dont panic, Keep calm, Ask questions, Get answers...... This is the only way to avoid a bricked phone

Yeah, you've saved me a lot of stress already. Ill be back in a few hours with the results of the next attempt. Thanks again!

Ok, the news is not great. I got hold of a micro sd adaptor so I could plug it into my computer and removed the old PG58IMG. I put the correct one (downloaded from this thread) on the sd card and rebooted the phone into HBOOT. It recognizes the file on the sd card but gets a cid fail and there is no option but to reboot which goes into the boot cycle.
Whats worse is that doing this apparently fries the sdcard. I tried it twice, because I am sucker for punishment and in both cases the sdcard is unreadable afterwards.
Maybe I should try and explain more clearly that I am now sure the PG58IMG that I first put on the card and flashed I am sure is the Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU from this thread. It appeared to successfully update before rebooting the phone into its current state, causing me to realize I had the wrong file. I dont understand enough to know exactly whats going on but it seems pretty bad. Do you think I should try a 3rd sdcard with the Shipped ROM on it or is there something else I should do at this point?
Edit - The second sd card wasn't fried after all, but I am still searching for a shipped rom that isnt in .exe format, since the phone isnt connecting to the computer by usb at all right now. Anyone know where I can find one?
Edit - Ok, now I have fastboot usb which means I can use .exe shipped roms. adb devices cant find the phone though which means I cant superCID it which means I still have to find the right ROM. Since I brought the phone from HK I am trying all the asian ones first. Anyone know specifically which file at shipped-roms.com is the right one?

You flashed firmware for ics rom, so the stock rom won't boot and you have bootloop. If you flash the 3.12 firmware ( works for both ics and gb) that will resolve the loop and you will be able to continue with the guide and flash cwm.

Hey Stringer7, do you mean this Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU available in the same thread? I will download it and give it a try.
edit - Gave it a try, I get CID incorrect from it too. Seems like CID incorrect for everything I try to flash atm.

What is your CID ??

Unfortunately I dont know. I didn't know I needed it before I started and now since the phone isn't talking to adb I cant use it to find out. All I know is that I bought the phone from Hong Kong about 6 months ago. Is there a way to check the CID with the phone the way it is now?

[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

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.

In which you really shouldn't have tried any of this...I bet you didn't even check what ROM your phone came with in case you needed to go back to stock did you?
I got this phone a month ago so I guess it was a pretty new rom.
we just happened to live on the Merseyside together? haha just saw it.
Hmm, have I gotten myself into a helpless situation?
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?

PG58IMG.zip problems - Help needed.

Hi all,
First time poster & noob here. I've spent hours searching this and other forums and get various answers, but I'm getting out of my depth so I need some help please. Somehow today I've managed to screw my phone. I've got a HTC Sensation.
I've managed to get it S-OFF, so all fine there. It has been S-OFF and working fine for several days. I did have EXT4 recovery on it. However today I wanted to flash a new ROM (virtuousrom.com/p/sensation.html) and the instructions said it's only been tested via CWM. So I decided to play safe and stick CWM on instead. I think it was after doing that that my problems started. Now if I go in to bootloader mode it starts to load up HBOOT, then it sticks on loading PG58IMG.zip for a few seconds, then says:
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
I found a post that said to try without the SD card in. It works fine with no SD card in.
I've got the PG58IMG.zip file from virtuousrom.com and it says to "flash using HBOOT", but being the noob that I am that doesn't help me. When I copy that file to my SD card I just get the same error. Many other posts I've read suggest it should prompt me to upgrade?
So now my phone says the following in green at the top of the screen:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
HBOOT
Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.​
The "HBOOT-1.27.1111" bit concerned me a bit - I haven't found much at all with this specific version number in. I've read other posts about booting without the sd card, then putting it in, flashing from the .zip file on the sd card, then taking the sd card out again.... The warnings about completely bricking the phone if you flash it wrong are getting more and more real so I didn't want to just fiddle more and more and completely brick my phone.
Please can someone help? Or point me at the correct post to follow to sort out my PG58IMG issue?
Should I just delete PG58IMG.zip from my SD card and carry on with my life?!
Thanks in advance!
Matt
Fixed.
I fixed it.
For the benefit of other complete noobs like me, here's roughly what I did to fix it.. although I can't remember the exact steps!
Extract the .zip file and you'll see a txt file. Edit that and you'll see it lists the specific models of phone that that .zip will work on. Hence it coming up on mine as Model ID incorrect. There are other posts on here describing this. My phone is a HTC_010 model, but the zip I was trying to use from virtuousrom.com turns out to be for T-Mobile models only.
So then I followed another post on here to SuperCID my phone... basically replaces the embedded model number with 11111111 (8x1's). I tried that same PG58IMG.zip file and it still just said "pharsing" then did nothing. So I downloaded a different PG58IMG.zip file and that worked fine and updated my phone.
This didn't fix my issue though. My phone still ready HBOOT 1.27.1111, and no ROM I tried to use would work. I tried a few ICS ROM's and after installing (without errors) the phone would just constantly reboot. I'd get the initial HTC logo screen when I turn it on, then the screen would go blank and after about 30 seconds it would just reboot. Then I tried a couple of different Jelly Bean ROM's. They had slightly better success. both ROM's I tried would boot up fully, but then any random amount of time between 10 seconds to 10 minutes later the phone would reboot.
Because of this I have rightly or wrongly convinced myself that the PG58IMG issue wasn't my actual issue at all?
So this morning I ran a stock ICS RUU on my phone. Much to my relief my HBOOT is back to 1.27.0000, and ICS loaded up and worked as expected. Pheww!
But (perhaps naively) reassured that I can restore from any other similar problems by running the RUU again, I decided to fiddle. First I had to use HTCdev to unlock it again, then stick CWM back on, then I installed the Bruce2728 CM10 ROM. That didn't work, it just stuck permanently animated graphic while booting and never got past it. So then I installed the Dragunkorr ParanoidAndroid Jelly Bean ROM and that works a treat now. I've installed most of my apps again and all appears well. I have my Exchange email and calendar working, front and rear camera, Wifi, etc. So far the only thing that isn't working on there is Waze navigation.
Well I've rambled. I haven't included links because I jumped around to soooooo many pages looking for my fix, but I hope at least that if anyone else finds themselves in a similar boat to me, and use the search function to find this post, it will at least point them in the right direction. Run RUU, get back to where you started, then try again! Search search search - the answers are out there if you look long and hard enough

HTC One boot loop, S-ON

Hi, I need help FAST!
I have an AT&T (sim unlocked - done so because I live in Europe, not US) HTC One.
So, a few days ago I was playing smart and decided to install custom ROM to my device.
I've done everything as said until the S-ON procces. I ran the Rumrunner but I obviously messed up something
without knowing so it was left S-ON. So I went on to the install of dustom ROM wich I did, but I 've got stuck in a boot loop and I could only enter my recovery and bootloader. And to make matters worse I somehow succeded to delete al my files from "sd card", HTC One doesn't have SD card slot, as you know, (it has internal storage) so I deleted all my personal files ( I backed up photos, and other personal stuff to my PC in case something like this happens )
and my SuperSU and custom ROM zip files. Then I found out about flashing stock ROM, so I relocked my device to do so but the proper RUU has prooved very hard to find, I 've tried 4-5 RUUs from htc1guru.com for Cingular (AT&T) bot none worked. Maybe I should look for SIM unlocked RUU because I 've SIM unlocked it from AT&T. Now I am really annoyed and angry because of being so stupid and trying something I obviously couldn't achieve so please don't write down trere " Oh you are a noob for doing that " because I know that and I don't need any extra comments for playing smart and bricking my device. SO PLEASE IF ANYONE ON THIS FORUM CAN HELP ME, DO SO!! If i don't manage to finally fix this somehow I'm going to pay someone to fix this.

Also, see if this All-in-One Toolkit that @hasoon2000 has developed helps you. It could help you get S-Off from the bootloader or recovery or help you find the proper RUU image version of your HTC One:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Also, can you get into recovery? Like TWRP or Clockwork? Have you tried installing a rom.zip image version for your phone instead? I understand the HTC One M7 doesn't have an external SD slot, so chances are that you don't already have a rom.zip file in your phones directory but you could always sideload one through TWRP or Clockwork from ADB on your computer.
I would search the forums for an HTC One M7 rom.zip image and sideload it.
T-Mobile HTC ONE M7 bricked?
So I did something pretty dumb yesterday. Installed the HTC Sense 6 update on my HTC ONE M7, hated it so decided to root my phone to revert back to Sense 5.0 or 5.5 or potentially try a custom ROM. Downloaded a Tmobile 4.3 JB RUU, downloaded android SDK, HTC sync manager, Fastboot. I unlocked boot loader, installed Wheaton recovery by Koush, installed SU, figured phone was rooted but it wasn't. Now I've somehow succeeded in deleting EVERYTHING. Phone continues booting into recovery. Commands using Fastboot aren't recognized because it cannot find any device. When plugged in via USB, PC recognizes that something is plugged in but that's about it. I tried using a tool that was guaranteed to help me revert back by helping me re-lock bootloader but of-course that didn't work because of the error code stating "device not found". Below are the information that is currently displaying on my screen.
