I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

Hi,
Just as a matter of interest.
Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.
Then it may boot into your ROM...

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
Hello ,
I have read many posts , some saying you can get the update if you are rooted/s-off and some say you cant .
I have sensationXE 2.3.4 1.73.707.4 10.58.9035. kernel : 2.6.35.13
I have Done S-off and root , but I did not flash the devise or install any rom still on stock
.
Will It be able to run the ota update when it pops in software update ?
What will have to do to install the update by the OTA file ( any special steps for this case ) ?
I have searched in the forum for this exact situation , I did not find . Please clarify this for me and for others with similar cases
Thank you

u need stock recovery to install ota
If u r still stock 100% but rather s-off, u should be fine. Whenever u receive the update just take the update like it says too, no special instructions. When people say u lose root that means, no superuser, busybox, and so on. U should still keep s-off
You won't get it yet as the initial release is for EU unbranded handsets. Other regions will roll out soon I'd imagine, followed by branded handsets
can i put file on sd ( ota file ) and update from cm recovery .

No, you need stock recovery
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
or download the stock file and install it from sd card
any guide on how to go back to stock recovery?
Ok you said you were stock and all you have done is S-off your Sensation XE and root it. If this is all you have done you still have the stock recovery and you can just download the OTA update file and place it on the root of your SD card. Then boot your Sensation into the boot loader by either taking your battery out or go into settings/power and uncheck the box for fastboot. You have to do either one of these to make sure your device is completely powered down. Next you need to power on your Sensation while holding the volume down button dow. Then use the volume rocker to scroll to recovery and press the power button. Then just follow the on screen instructions to flash the OTA file.if the file does not appear you either do not have the file on the root of your SD card or the file is not properly named. Post back here with your results.
thank you for this info dear sir.
Do u think i should do it this way or
wait for my update notification to pop ( will i be able to install it if am rooted) ?
Thanks again
I pressed my volume down+ turn off -> recovery - > it is titled CLOCKWORKMOD Recovery v5.0.0.8 ??

You are welcome, as far as if you should wait or not that is totally up to you. The only draw back to not waiting really is that you will not have certain apps that your carrier includes in the ROM for their Sensation. Like for example if I flashed it now and did not wait for the OTA update message to pop up on my phone I will not have any of the T-Mobile apps on my Sensation, the only one I care about anyway is the WiFi hotspot app. But I think you see what I am talking about. Plus if you do not wait you will have to S-off your Sensation and write Super CID to your Sensation to flash the available ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update file. The drawback to waiting is just waiting lol. Well that and the fact that if there is ever another OTA update for your Sensation you will have to flash the correct stock ICS update for your Sensation to get it via OTA and not by downloading it, placing it on the root of your SD card, and then booting into the stock recovery to flash of.

Sorry I just now saw that you had edited your post. If it says CLOCKWORKMOD Recovery v5.0.0.8 then you do not have the stock recovery you have Clockworkmod Recovery wich is a custom recovery. So you will have to flash the stock recovery back to your Sensation before you can flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update, if it was not so late I would see if I could not put together a Clockworkmod and other custom recovery flashable .zip file so everyone would not have to revert back to stock recovery to flash the OTA update. Anyway to revert back to stock recovery you will need to flash a stock ROM back to your Sensation. And seeing as you are Super CID you can flash any stock ROM you want. Just go to here to download a official stock ROM. All the ROMs in the link are RUU.exe files so you will have to connect your Sensation to your computer via your USB cord and then run the RUU.exe. Once you have flashed the stock ROM you just need to follow my directions from my other post and you should be good to go.

Download a 3.32 firmware file that fits you. Put that PG58IMG file on the root of your SD card (top level folder) and turn your phone off. Hold Volume Down and power it up. It'll ask if you want to update. Say yes. Then it'll ask to reboot. Take out the SD card ONLY AFTER the update is complete then reboot into the bootloader (volume down + power). Wait 10 seconds and put the SD card in, scroll down to recovery and select it. Now, reflash the ICS rom you want and it'll boot. Once it's booted, use a file manager and remove the PG58IMG file from your SD.
Okay just one question which firmware should i download as there are China,T-mobile,orange and vodafone??? i live in pakistan n have non of these carriers, does it matter if i download any of these carrier's firmware???if no then plz suggest a firmware ur self n i appreciate ur help
You have s-off right? If so, perform superCID, then it doesn't matter what source the fw has. If you don't want to do this, check Kor-ah's friendly firmware thread in dev forum for another option.

Yes, as you can always revert back to the original one. Make sure you make a note of it. You can always get "CID Getter" from the market, it'll tell you your original CID.
yeah i've got my cid?? its HTC_001 ,what would u prefer supercid or the firmware?

here is a complete Guide for installing Custom Recovery or Stock Recovery
1) Custom Recovery
Downloads for CWM Recovery
i gathered some of those links for all over the forum , thanks for the members who posted them
to manually install , here is recovery-clockwork-5.x ( to be installed from bootloader ) :
File Format is PG58IMG.zip , and you should use Method 2 for this file format
try this link http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Non-Stock-Recovery/ ( use Method 2 )
PG58IMG_CWM.zip ( use Method 2 ) , rename it to PG58IMG.zip , latest non-touch version April 2012 link by EddyOS
CWM 5.0.2.0 http://www.axifile.com/en/EC384AC809 ( md5 is : 85b5f10c9afe33fb50396bd5f54bc7de ) , rename to PG58IMG.zip ( use Method 2 )
5.0.2.0 PG58IMG.zip is HERE ( use Method 2 )
there is a link in here ( Guide to S-Off, Unlocking, Root, etc ) for a 5.0.2 PG58IMG.zip , this zip is reported by lot of users not working with them ) , i guess super cid may solve that problem if it is a cid or mid problem
to manually install , here is recovery-clockwork-5.x.images ( to be installed from PC and device in fastboot , usb debugging enabled , fast boot UN-ticked in Setting \ power menu ) :
File format is { recovery name }.img , and you should use Method 1 for this file format
CWM v5.0.0.8 is always Proved working
CWM 5.0.2.0 ( use Method 1 )
CWM v 5.0.2.0 ( use Method 1 should work )
Downloads for4EXT Recovery
tip : 4EXT touch Recovery has more options , i recommend after S-Off to install CWM safer ( because Revolutionary install it after S-OFF , and i 'd rather go by the book for S-OFF procedure , much safer ) , then after install SU and Rom all finished and your Rom settles , then move to 4EXT later on
if you are Rooted " SU installed " , install 4EXT Recovery Updater or 4EXT Recovery Control and it will download and install 4EXT automatically for you
PG58IMG_4EXT.zip ( use Method 2 , April 2012 link by EddyOS )
or 4EXT recovery v1.0.0.5 ( use Method 1 )
or Go to 4EXT thread and there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot ( use Method 1 )
or Download the user-friendly 4EXT Recovery touch flashing tool and read the guide inside ( link by joaquinf ).
Flash 4EXT Recovery using either Method 1 or Method 2 ( according to the Downloaded file format )
Alternative method for flashing 4EXT Recovery is to flash ARHD ICS Custom Rom , it will install 4EXT recovery during ARHD Rom installtion
Installation Problems
in case fastboot commands is not working :
uninstall htc sync then uninstall new htc drivers that comes with it , and install Old htc driver download link for HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
uncheck fast boot under setting \ power or simply remove battery and put it back and boot to boot loader
start cmd as admin , disable firewall if needed , remove conflicting software or APK's
there is a new version of CWM 5.8 touch version , it has bugs now , so don't use it until those Bugs are fixed ( it also may prevent installing of ARHD ICS Rom or usb connection )
for PG58IMG.zip that give error , edit android-info.txt without extracting the zip file to include your cid and mid ( using Notepad++ or maybe notepad ) , and use ( Method 2 )
to edit android-info.txt , read this title " How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows " in hereUser Friendly Firmware Upgrade
Installation Methods
if you install CWM recovery through revolutionary while S-off ( or connected to it later on ) , it will install an old version i think CWM 4.x . this old version will not charge device if it is powered off, So better immediately install CWM 5.x , ( Note that 30 min to 45 min with me to install )
if you are Rooted " SU Installed "
if you are Rooted " i.e SU installed " and in case of reinstalling or updating custom recovery , install Rom Manager ROM Manager APK from the Market ( free or Pro ) or 4EXT Recovery Updater or 4EXT Recovery Control and let it install latest Custom Recovery automatically
Method 1 :
if you are using Recovery.img ( i.e ???.img ) then from your PC using ADB tools download for WINDOWS or download for LINUX and the device should be in fastboot usb .
Put recovery.img from zip file inside ADB tools Folder ,
start cmd as administrator and navigate to ADB tools folder which includes fastboot.exe
execute fastboot flash recovery recovery.img , then after installation is finished execute fastboot reboot-bootloader
Method 2 :
the file name should be PG58IMG.zip , make sure of that ( not PG58IMG.zip.zip
if your are using a downloaded PG58IMG.zip ( i.e .zip ) ( it is not a file that you rename and compress by yourself !!!!! ) , then place it into SD card and install it from bootloader as usual update
if it gave you cid or mid error , then you can either super cid and use it
or if you don't want to do that you can modify the PG58IMG.zip , it has android-info.txt file inside it ( which determines on which mid and cid's devices it is allowed to be installed )
you can modify the android-info.txt to include your cid and mid , and it should work
don't extract the PG58IMG.zip , just open it in winrar and modify the android-info.txt file only ( add cid and mid ) using notepad++ ( drag it to desktop , modify then drag it inside winrar window again to replace the existing file and press ok )
Method 3 : you can also try Android Flasher or HTC 4G All-In-One Toolkit or [TOOL] HTC Sensation/XE/4G Super Utility (all in one) by kgs1992 if you like ( do it at your own risk , i didn't try it personally )
Method 4 : you can extract ????.img from the zip ( PG58IMG.zip ) and flash it as in Method 1
How to Boot into Custom Recovery From PC without installation
File format is { recovery name }.img
Download ADB tools download for WINDOWS
Put recovery img { recovery name }.img inside ADB folder in same place your fastboot.exe
{ recovery name }.img is the exact name for the downloaded recovery img that you put inside the ADB Folder
it is NOT PG58IMG.zip recovery
Start cmd as administrator and navigate to ADB Folder which includes fastboot.exe and type the command fastboot boot { recovery name }.img and press enter
your phone should now go to recovery screen ( loaded through fastboot )
2) Stock Recovery
You can use Android Recovery Manager to download and install your stock recovery
try also this link http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Stock-Recovery/
or extract Stock recovery from your RUU.exe as follows
extract Rom.zip from RUU.exe as in this thread How To Debrand / Rebrand Your Sensation
open Rom.zip in and extract recovery
Usually Stock Recovery is flashed according to Method 1
or prepare it in a PG58IMG.zip and flash it ( if you know how to do it ) and flash it according to Method 2 , i didn't try this myself
3) Super User
Downloads
2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
ARHD Rootin tools ( Superuser and Busy box )
SuperSU market link
Installation
for Zip Patches , go to recovery , clear dalvik cache and cache , install from recovery as usual
for 2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip it would need to be flashed up to three times to flash successfully , if it didn't then for troubleshooting go to Post # 2 here Guide to S-Off, Unlocking, Root, etc
for SuperSU , go to SuperSU thread for how to
if you have problems for installation , try to install busy box from market
you can try this tool [TOOL] HTC Sensation/XE/4G Super Utility (all in one) by kgs1992

NP at all, i love all the guide on XDA and yours are very clear and wellmade. really noobproof
EDIT!
-----------------------------------------
the site i used is for EUROPEAN users only, from my head told CID: HTC____E11 Or E41 both will probably be compatible
Newer drivers
I have the 3.0.0.13 drivers for Win7x64, got them from here but can't find the thread now.
This is good work by the way, thanks for doing it. Have you looked into this? I think this guide is a good qualification.
Update: Attachment removed to save space on the XDA servers.

Zip file is corrupt , and it should be around 13 MB in size
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe is the Drivers used by Revolutionary ( this is the one to be used always not the newer driver versions )
you can think of newer htc drivers as the newer htc software that is Patched to prevent certain commands or software execution
for example , lot of members had errors connecting to Revolutionary until they remove htc newer drivers and install the Old one HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe as i always advise of that to when using Revolutionary , i guess it would be the same in fastboot for full support of commands

Not corrupt, it is the "naked" driver package and only for Win7x64. Good points about the other driver, always best to have various options since one size does not fit all.

flash firmware 3.32 unlocked , then flash cwm recovery from bootloader , then better flash 4ext recovery for ICS
you can also root using superSU from market , install 4EXT updater , it will install recovery from market
press thanks button if this thread helped you

you can try to flash it , it should work without flashing Firmware
if your hboot is 1.27.0000 then this is the locked bootloader ( if in this case it shows unlocked for hboot 1.27.0000 , then you unlocked it with htc dev or super tool ) . this is not required with S-OFF devices , and if you done that then relock bootloader again and flash firmware 3.32 again ( better to start clean before flashing ICS again )

nice, thx
I'm trying to install Recovery.img through method 1. For some reason it keeps telling me that it's <waiting for device> (in CMD, all files in the correct place), thus it's not able to find it. I've tried to load it in bootloader, same problem. There is no way of updating a program through Bootloader for me, and if there is I have no idea how to do this (Method 2). Any suggestions?
Edit: Woops, forgot to unlock bootloader, I'll be back with the results

you will not be able to install custom recovery with you bootloader locked
you have to unlock bootloader before trying that , there is a method to unlock bootloader without losing warranty in the link i gave you in ARHD thread
if you unlocked your bootloader and have this error then :
it is better to use Method two from bootloader
uninstall htc sync then uninstall new htc drivers that comes with it , and install Old htc driver download link for HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
uncheck fast boot under setting \ power or simply remove battery and put it back and boot to boot loader
start cmd as admin , disable firewall if needed , remove conflicting software or APK's
disable firewall
read title " Installation Problems "
i also posted in ARHD thread a second reply to you with a link in it , please read it
Just noticed it, sorry for taking your time . Used to work with my old HTC Touch HD, thought this would be easier to understand, guess not haha. I'll be unlocking the phone now.
EDIT: Unlocked and custom recovery installed.
EDIT2: Everything works, installing the latest ARHD, should go smoothly from now on! Thanks a lot for your help, tutorial and patience trkaa! Work from you guys is greatly appreciated!
Hmm... After I unlock my bootloader I should install the recovery, correct?
How can I boot my phone into fastboot?
What commands do I use to install the recovery via fastboot?
I'd like to backup my current rom without Root, do I need to root first to install the recovery?
Can't Install any recovery

I tried to unlock bootloader with HTC DEV.It unlock and instali recovery but every rom i install is not runing???The phone is S-ON with HBOOT 2.00.002. PLEASE HELP
Flash boot.img - use search and read the stickies :banghead:
check out this thread and go to links provided in there for any more information you may want, this will help u root and install a custom recovery and then u can flash any custom rom u may want. however i would suggest that if u r happy with sense then dont flash a custom rom as they may not be as stable as the original roms from htc. but if u really do want to flash a rom then go ahead and dont forget to make a backup before u flash a custom rom or u may have to go through a lengthy procedure to get back to your original htc rom
