So i was in the middle of following the steps in the s-off and perma root thread and i ran into a problem. Hope someone here is nice enough to help me out.
So i ran revolutionary and everything went smooth. I already had the clockwork mod zip in the root of my sd card so i just rebooted the phone into hboot. When i went into hboot it detected the pg58img file and ran it, it prompted me if i wanted to update and so i did. It rebooted the phone and then i went back into hboot. The hboot said it was 1.23 and said Locked instead of Revolutionary as it displayed previously.
When i try to run the pg58 file in hboot an error occurs and said it is not compatible and only asks me to power off. So now at this moment it displays 1.23 version of hboot and s-off and says locked.
What can i do after this point? Any help i can get would be fantastic, thanks.
You're still good.
You're locked out of some of the most advanced fastboot commands. But that's it.
You still have S-Off. ADB will still work. You can flash ROM's. Etc etc etc....
It's a known problem. But it's not really a problem.
It's not like you divided by zero and destroyed the fabric of the universe or anything.
This is a noob question but how would i install clockwork recovery? I thought i would try dl from market but it said i didnt have root permission(obviously)
Is there a thread that has a solution to my issue or maybe you can quickly guide me out of this? lol Just kind of confused as to what i should do next lol.
Look in the development section for a thread called guide to s-off.
Skip the s-off part since you've done that.
Go right to the part about installing recovery. Following the directions. It's incredibly easy. It'll take about 3 minutes.
Once you have clcokwork recovery you can flash custom ROMs. You don't actually have to root the stock ROM. (Though you should make a backup of it just for kicks. You can do it all through clockwork recovery)
Yea I tried it multiple times already. I have the pg58 file in the root of the sd and when i go to the hboot it says
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
Thats the only option it gives me so i am not able to install clockwork recovery.
Do you have SuperCID?
no i do not, would that fix the issue? i thought that is just for installing any rom on the device. My issue is that i cant get recovery to work.
I would think that is the next step after i run the perma root zip.

It should. Follow the SuperCID instructions here. Then update your firmware via the bootloader with this package that rmk made. It includes ClockworkMod Recovery.
Cool, thanks. I will definately try this as soon as I get off work later today and post up a status regarding the issue

He doesn't have use of Fastboot commands. I am pretty sure they are needed for super CID. Let me check.
He can't super CID as Fastboot commands are used.
Have you tried to run the correct RUU.exe? I think that would change back your h boot. There are zips in the development section you can use to downgrade but you may need super CID to use them.

Yes, he does. CID commands will work with 1.23.xxxx. I've done it myself. Advanced fastboot commands won't work (he can't flash a radio through fastboot).

Yeah, I had SuperCID to flash the new firmware to use an ICS ROM, then changed it back to the T-Mobile one after. No worries, it's confusing.

I have the same problem. The Super CID does not work for me because when I type adb devices two blank lines show up, can't get the device number. I followed the instructions to the letter and usb debugging is on.

Okay, I am not near a pc atm so I cannot look where they are located, if you have the adb tools you also need another program called Net Framework installed on your pc.
Make sure your phone is powered onvand usb debugging checked when plugged into pc. I find it easiest to hold the mouse over the adb tools folder, press alt & ctrl keys and right click on the mouse and choose open command window here. Now type the command "adb devices".
Good luck.

First boot can take 10 minutes to load as the Davilk cache is being recreated. Also, did you perform a full wipe first and check the Md5 checksums, make sure your downloaded ROM is not corrupt.

I have changed other rom! but Sensation recently will update to V4.0,the problem is that it need the original official Rom! who can give me one?thank u!
somebody please do me a favour!
The Indian RUU was posted once by @imblfmstr but all those people who maintain list of stock roms for all regions didn't seem to care about it and the thread was lost.
And now to make it even worse, due to some idiotic laws posed by governments, the file sharing site on which it was posted was taken down.
I have it but do not have internet connection fast enough to upload it. Will see if I can do anything.
I have it, will upload in a while
Do you mind if I give it tomorrow? I tried uploading to 4shared, but it stopped at 92% and i have to start all over again :/

Check if you are doing this:
1. Connect your phone through USB, enable USB debugging
2. Run command prompt, change directory to adb
3. Check if your device serial is shown by running adb devices
4. Once you see your device serial shown correctly, type adb reboot-bootloader
5. Device will reboot into fastboot and you would see Fastboot USB on phone screen
6. Once there , type fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
7. Next type fastboot reboot-bootloader
8. After you type the last line, you should see S-On at the top of the bootloader screen. If so, you are all set.
let me know if this helped

this wont give you cid ..afaik lot of ppl with different cid will have the same config...
go to fastboot on your mobile and connect it to pc..now your mobile screen should read "fastboot usb"
after this on your pc type "fastboot devices" this should give you your device serial number
after that type "fastboot getvar cid" ..this will give you your cid

as you are bootlooping that is the only way to find your cid
try uninstalling htc sync and istalling them again..if that didnt work then follow the below steps
1.uninstall htc sync...
2.get these drivers universal naked divers
3.install them and try to find you device..it will mostly get detected ..as lot of ppl have success with those drivers
4.if your device was found...then try fastboot command again..
(this is the only other way left)

Finding out cid on HTC Sensation
I had the problems others were reporting - with fastboot not finding any devices and adb just saying 'waiting for device'. The solution for me was to run the commands as root (using sudo on Ubuntu Linux). So I found out my cid with the following steps:
1. Downloaded and unzipped the fastboot and adb programs for Linux from the download 'ADB-Linux.zip' at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
2. Booted the phone into the bootloader (by holding the volume down key while turning it on). I had to take out the SD card for this as it was causing some program to automatically load.
3. Selected FASTBOOT on the bootloader.
4. Plugged in the USB cable to my computer. The red 'FASTBOOT' on the phone screen turned to 'FASTBOOT USB'.
5. Issued the following commands in Linux:
Code:
sudo ./fastboot devices
sudo ./fastboot getvar cid
Is it possible to get the phone back to S-Off when I have no ROM installed. The unrevoked-program is just "waiting for device".
I had my phone S-Off before, but had plans to return it to warranty so went back to S-On but without a ROM installed. So now I cant do anything with my phone, or is there a way to get a working ROM without making it S-OFF?

Hi, I have a rooted sensation XE and I wanted to upgrade firmware via Hboot but my power button does not select any of the options (it works normally when using the phone). I can scroll through with the options using the volume - (my volume + does not work anymore but it has never caused problems so I havent had it repaired) but when I hit the power button nothing happens.
I am rooted and S-off with revolutionary Hboot 1.27 with 4-ext and venom 1.63.
Also I can only access Hboot through 4-ext or from the phones reboot options, I cannot access it by taking out the battery and using the power & volume - combination all that happens is the HTC screen comes on, goes off, comes on... you get the idea!
My phone is working in every other way but I do like flashing roms and I am concerned that if I have a bad flash I wont have a Hboot to fall back to.
If you know how to use adb I'm pretty sure you can flash firmware using adb
If your confident using adb I can give you commands
And about being worried about not having hboot to land on adb can easily reboot into bootloader but I suggest getting buttons repaired.

rename it like this
The reason maybe that you are spelling or writing it incorrect make sure it is pg58img.zip like mentioned above and is not in any folder and on the root of the sd card

weird, bootloader (not fastboot) should always do a quick scan for the file if the SDcard is inserted, regardless the way it's spelled. but like mentioned you can flash the file with ADB or fastboot. you don't really need bootloader for that.
so your hboot started having issues after you updated it from 1.18/17 to 1.27? or did you start rooting it from 1.27? what firmware are you running now? since you're on hboot 1.27 I wonder why you want to update FW.
you can check FW with
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
if you want to flash FW make sure it's spelled correct like mentioned above. Also do md5 check. you can install different bootloader to see if it solves the problem. if not I'd say send it for repair...

Thank you for all of you replies. My FW Version is 3.32401.3, this all came to light besause I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD7.1 which specifically requires you to have FW 3.33.401.x, (they even went to the trouble of pointing it out in red letters!) This is when I discovered the problem with the bootloader. I have got PG58IMG.zip (sorry about typo earlier) on the root of the SD card and the bootloader is completely ignoring it. As someone stated even if the file is misspelled, corrupt or whatever it should still look for it which it doesn't.
I am sure I could get the firmware upgrade to work using ADB, but I would feel alot better if I could find a way to fix my bootloader so that I could access it without using 4ext or the rom itself and I could use it when I did get into it without needing ADB.
I am just worried because I have had the odd occassion where a flash has gone bad for whatever reason and I have got stuck in a bootloop and other things but I have always been able to fix it by directly into bootloader or recovery and reflashing. As things stand at the mo the only way of accessing either of these is through the reboot options on the phone.

I cannot honestly remember it was so long ago, I do remember the wire trick however...took me all evening!
I have just downloaded kgs1992's superutility and am going to try that now.
No when you boot into hboot it should say on top I remember having troubles at first and the I ran an ruu which gave me stock hboot and fixed pronvlems I had I was still s off afterwards so flashing a recovery was easy
Press thanks if I've helped you

Just to keep everyone updated, I haven't solved the problem yet. I installed an ruu which didn't help unfortunately and then I installed Venom again and ended up in a boot loop. KGS Utility has managed to get me to bootloader and recovery but I keep on ending up in a boot loop no matter what I do. Can anyone reccommend a rom that is reliable on first boot. I am not worried about how stable it is afterwards.
Change of plan, I installed another rom and this one does not bootloop, it just gets stuck and I cant seem to get access to the bootloader or recovery, any ideas?

bootloop or ROM's not booting mostly means your ROM and FW don't match.
what's your current hboot info and FW, and what kind of ROM are you trying to install?

I did, and in 4ext I formatted all partitions 3 times including the fat32 partition just to make double sure because I had a glitchy rom a while back and doing the format procedure more than once cured it.
Just to let everyone know I have a working rom again... i used adb with the phone turned off and through adb used the command "adb reboot recovery" this got me to recovery mode and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=super-wipe to update the firmware and reloaded my rom which has worked. I have a working phone now but I still only have fastboot and no hboot.
