Hi,
Just keep trying

any idea whats causing this?
i have the ruu downloaded but when i open it and apply to update its says
checking................
"updating image on your android device/rebooting to bootloader and comes back with.....
ERROR CODE [155] Unknown Error

"ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again."
edit: I think you have the wrong RUU. Have you also checked Step 4 in the guide malybru posted above?

but this is the correct RUU, Im a orange uk customer and this is the only RUU i can find of the shipped RUU's page.....
RUU_Pyramid_Orange_UK_1.35.61.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M
any idea's?

Is it an Orange branded phone? if not try the EU version.
Have you done SuperCID?
How do you install the RUU? Did you go into the bootloader, press on fastboot, connect to your PC and run the RUU?

no its not Orange branded, Orange is my carrier (on contract) so if EU RUU is required could you possibly advise which is best to use?
i done superCID upon rooting so i dont need to superCID again do i?
No i plugged phone in making sure fastboot is turned off & USB debugging is on then clicked on the RUU to install.....
Many Thanks

Try the Europe Debranded one. If that doesn't work, try the HTC WWE one next. My friend is on Vodafone Contract in the UK and has a debranded World Wide English ROM.

no you don't need to supercid again.
these ruus should work for you (don't know if you have a sensation or sensation xe):
for sensation (latest ruu):
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69. 3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe
for sensation xe (latest ruu):
RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_ Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_25196 1_signed.exe
no guarantees if that will work

Could someone please explain the way to go back to stock rom please iv downloaded the EU RUU, go to run it and update etc, and comes back the same as previous.....
As things stand..... my procedure (phone is HTC Sensation z710e)
Phone is turned ON
Fastboot OFF
USB Debugging ON
Plug phone in via usb when prompt ensuring phone is set to Charge only
Click RUU to run and update....... Then comes back same as previous.
Could someone please tell me what im doing wrong

ItKs my friends phone and ever Rom I put on he has issues with. I can't blame the roms but I think the phone is defected. His phone just restarts often while he's using the phone but it's a leak so it won't be perfect. I've been flashing roms since I had a Samsung Moment and I've had perfect roms and roms with issues but I always find a perfect won. If I owned the phone I'm sure I could easily find a stable rom. I would like to keep it S-OFF but with a stock rom, I wish I owned an HTC phone so these Ruu's and things made sense to me.

Also, which is the correct driver I used for to go stock tmous.??

Downloaded the appropriate RUU - installed it, an it's up running again.
What if I would like to go for the customs again?
I'm S-OFF and SuperCID 11111111. When I try to get in Recovery mode - I get a HTC image (looks like a phone and a red cross)!
It's not possible to get in to the EXT menu where I'm used to press "Install from .zip file".
I can se my HBOOT is 1.23.... any ideas?
I have tried the PG58IMG thingy - but after update the phone keeps rebooting. So I had to delete the PM58IMG file from the SD card in order to get into FASTBOOT recovery to flash the Stock RUU again!

[Q] please help!

hi all,
i got my sensation a while ago and it was running arhd 4.x.x and now it became very laggy...
i wanted to try to install 6.6.4, so its already s-off and hboot is 1.27.1100 and 2gb sd card
so what i did was try to flash the new one normally but it didnt work(with or without beats should i install(sensation eu)) didnt boot just stuck in boot screen.....so i wanted to install new firmware first and it didnt work it said cid incorrect and im confused (i cant boot)
please explain in steps please dont link me(i tried many)
thanks(will thank)
Sure thing buddy.
I'm gonna have to link you to one page though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
That one. You need to go there and download the 3.32 unlocked firmware that matches your carrier/cid. Kohr-Ah put together a great set of firmware images that lets you bypass super-cid. Find the 3.32 unlocked that works for you, download it, and put it on the SD card (not in any folders). For example, if I'm on T-Mobile USA, I'll scroll down to Page Two, T-Mobile, and select the 3.32 firmware.
Then, with the device powered off, volume down + power until you get to the bootloader. When it asks to update, follow through with it. Then, if you have a card reader, use it to delete the 3.32 unlocked firmware file from the SD card. If you don't, use a buddies android phone and a file manager like ES File Explorer. If you can't do that, take the SD card out, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, put the SD card back in before it actually boots into the recovery. Now, you can wipe and install ARHD and it'll boot up just fine.
In the event that that still doesn't work. Make sure you download Superwipe from Mike's ARHD page. Run Superwipe from the recovery, then install the rom, then it'll 99.99% likely boot.
Good luck. Come back with any questions.
I am unsure how to help, the only think i know that may help is that i think the CID stands for cellular ID and it identifies your phone, so maybe you have flashed something that is giving the wrong device ID?

You're not too far off. The CID usually just identifies what carrier you're on, and most carriers have multiple CIDs. It's possible to change, but not accidently. It's a multi step process that's very specific and involves using Fastboot.
Sorry about grammer, posted from phone.
Follow all the steps detialed by member sshede and + one thing is to do super cid if ur phone is not so u'll be able to flash any rom u like even if it was stock or custom 3.6or sense 4 with the right firmware for sure
Good luck

Hi,
In order to SuperCID go HERE ,and follow STEP 4.
Unfortunately, it seems you will need to super-cid in this case. It's not hard, just follow the steps in the link and follow them exactly.
The process only takes about 5 minutes start to finish.

Mike recommends Superwipe for ARHD, it's in the thread. Not sure what the real benefit is, but since he developed the rom, it might be wise to take him up on it.

[Q] is my device recoverable

hi all,
i HAD a sensation running Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. and without checking properly, i installed AOKP-42-20130118.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. the phone won't boot or charge. i then realised this is not a sensation rom, it's a HTC ONE rom, i think!! . i've followed the HTC Unbricking Project and get "device not found...check connections" in ubuntu. phone shows up on windows as other device labeled QHSUSB_DLOAD. is my phone toast? sorry if all this sounds amateurish as im completely new to all this. thanks all.
thats some dangerous thing happened there ..if HTC UNBRICKING not doing any help ..then service center only

you received the phone with LOCKED bootloader and SOFF ?
then before doing anything ..i would suggest you to ..check whether the phone is soff or not (I've seen 3 cases at-least where the phone showed soff (after the phone got back from service center) but its not actually soff and people bricked their phone again trying to flash stuff) ... to check soff status go to my soff guide (link in my signature)..try the controlbear soff NO HTC_DEV unlock one ..if the phone is properly soff then the controlbear says soff and exits ..otherwise your phone is not soff ..
also you cant do HTC-DEV unlock (motherboard got replaced so IMEI changed) as IMEI changed and the unlock procedure fails ..the only way is JB SOFF

yes install juopunutbear hboot via controlbear and if that didnt went successfully ..install patched revoultionary hboot (at the end of first post i think) from kohr-ah firmware thread present in sensation development section.
then you cna continue with custom recovery flashing and then custom rom (if you want you can backup your current stock rom too from the custom recovery before trying the new rom )

the latest one is pretty stable

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Hi,
It has been a long while since I did this.
But S/N does stand for serial number.

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP
Maybe I should just update and do it the way I've done before. :-/
Maybe I need an SD in the phone?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

Hi,
Like I said, it has been a while,and I cannot remember how the thing went.
But I do remember no great difficulty following the thread .
Do you run the utility on your pc,then,plug the phone in?

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.
Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?
I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.
My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.

[Solved] HTC keeps rebooting after while using ControlBear

I've got HBOOT 1.27.0000 so I had no choice but to use the ControlBear method.
The virtual Machine doesn't work on my computer, so I was forced to search for the windows files.
I couldn't find any for the HTC Sensation, but I found one for the Evo 3d.(I have less than 10 posts, so I can't give you guys the link.)
So you can guess what I did. I downloaded the linux files for my HTC Sensation from unlimited.IO site.
And I also downloaded the files for the Evo3D.
Then I extracted both of them.
I replaced the jb_boot.img file and ControlBear.exe. (Not jb_boot.zip) Without the jb_boot.img ControlBear gives an error.
After that I conected my phone, ran ControlBear.exe.
It found my device and did its job(not really), and my phone had to restart. But it keeps on restarting.
All what ControlBear says is trying to reconnect to my phone.
I didn't come to the point where I have to do the "Wire-Trick". The ControlBear logo didn't even show up on my HTC.
I still can launch the menu when I hold the Volume Down+ Power button.
It's not S-Off though, but that was to be expected.
Additional Information:
My HTC Sensation is S-On.
Usb Debugging settings is enabled.
I used the temp-root.batch (it worked)
I did the bootloader thing.
I already turned once my HTC Sensation S-Off, but then with the revolutionary tool.
I had to turn S-On because of the warranty (that also worked).
Sorry for this mistake guys, I know it's stupid.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you help me.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
I've fixed it now!
I want to thank you all for your help and contribution, each one of you!
After 4 days i can fineally enjoy my HTC Sensation.

Yes I guess RUU needs to be done
Wich RUU would you suggest?
The stock one?
I think I already have the stock RUU.
My CID is VODAPE17, and my MID is PG5813000.
version-main: 3.32.162.52
find the 3.32.162.52 RUU and flash it. Then attempt again using the linux version from the official site. The windows version was taken down for a reason
A little off topic; but why was the windows one taken down?
Worked perfectly for me. :/
Btw I do have windows one (Beta 0.6) for Sensation if OP still needs it.. I can PM..

I can't find that one.
Is this one fine too? RUU Pyramid Vodafone DE 1.27.162.1.zip
I have to download it from Rapidshare, and it takes... 1 day...
or this one: RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.exe
Or this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe
Though my HTC isn't Pyramid ISC?
EDIT:
When I try to install the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed.
it says that the utility can't update the android phone. Get the right RUU and try again?
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.27.163.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191976_signed and RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed don't work either...
Why is HTC doing this...
It still isn't working...
Ouch, i just used the KGS utility tool to do this on hboot 1.29, worked on first try...
pyramid==htc sensation, ICS==ice cream sandwich (android 4.xx) which by your firmware, you're probably on

Pm me for controlbear
I have the correct control bear for the sensation for windows, pm me and i will send the file to you.
Well I've fixed the RUU problem, by relocking my HTC again.
I had to type fastboot oem lock.
So i've installed this RUU:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_Vodafone_DE_3.32.162.11_R_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_251539_signed

My HTC booted nice and worked again.
I've UNLOCKED my HTC with the Unlock_Code.bin from HTCdev(my own code)>
I've used temp-root, and ran ControlBear.exe ( THIS time I got the right one, from a known contributor on this forum)
It made a back-up etc.
But here's the problem again..
After it found his fourth bear my HTC restarted.
After that, it is stuck in a boot loop again...
I've unplugged my phone and plugged back it, but it's still in a boot loop.
I've relocked my HTC, and I'm installing the RUU again..
Any help guys?
I'm kinda getting desperate...

what version of controlbear do you have?
the that requires htcdev unlock or the nohtcdev one?
Google kgs utility sensation, you still need the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip zip unless you plan to go HTC dev route but there's both option in the utility(u choose) phone will reboot many times during this, just let it, it's not a 2 minute process, more like 15 or 20minutes

So you're saying that I should unlock my HTC but not with the HTC DEV thing?
Or is my phone not requiered to be UNLOCKED for ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip
Or do I just have to let my phone reboot for 10-15 minutes, with USB plugged on?

if your bootloader is unlocked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN
if your bootloader is locked then use the ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN_NOHTCDEV.zip
