[Q] Problem installing Radio on Sensation (installation aborted)

I'm running a custom rom (insertcoin 2.2.2) V7 kernel and it is preferred to run with a new radio..10.56 or something.. It's downloaded and on my sd card. Can i not just flash it from there? Any help appreciated!

Do you have ENG S-OFF? If you have SHIP S-OFF, it won't work

Pretty sure i'm s-off. Pretty new to this stuff

Well, there are two different S-OFFs (I mentioned them above). Go into bootloader (volume down + power, make sure you disabled fastboot or take out the battery) to check.

Crap, I misunderstood your question. If you have it on your card, then yes, you can just flash it normally (also read my first post)

ok so i booted it that way and it basically found, and updated it for me. Thank you!!! Looks like it was Ship S-off?? I was trying from clockwork before. Hmm. I don't know if there's a simple answer.. But whats the difference?
Also, where can i find the "Thanks" button??

Maybe I was wrong when I said that you can't install a radio with SHIP S-OFF. Oh well. At least you succeeded
Thanks is next to quote button

Clockwork is the recovery... the other way is via fasboot. Type it on google its the easy way of learning. Have fun with flashing roms...

You don't flash a radio from recovery.
File must be named PG58IMG.zip. No other name will be ok.
Next, do a MD5 check, because a corrupt file will brick your phone. Correct MD5 should be posted st the source. There are a few ways to check, buy the easiest is with Astro. Long press on the file, then select "details". In a few seconds MD5 will appear. Check it against source.
If ok then make sure it your PG58IMG.zip is on the root of your SD card.
Boot into bootloader (not recovery). It should ask if you want to update. Press the volume up to accept. Wait until update is done. Don't press any keys. Don't pull the battery. If you do, you're out $600.
Reboot, and enjoy your new radio. Make sure you don't leave the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your card, phone will constantly try to update.
You should then load the matching RIL. That should be a flash in recovery, but you have to mount system before you flash, and unmount it before you reboot.

[How to] Root and Flash custom roms

This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Inspire 4G.
[*]Rooting and reverting to stock
Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
[*]Flashing a Custom Rom
To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)
Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):
Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.
Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.
Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.
Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.
If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.
Trouble Shooting
Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.
Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck
Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:

Thanks, let's hope that people find it usefull...

To help your thread going however 'slightly' off topic it may be, but since you did mention adb, I finally managed to get apk multi tool and sdk manager installed, and with a slight hiccup getting the adb to recognize my device (I started all of this last night), I believe I have everything I need?
Now I need to learn what I can do with those.
All of this would have taken me half the time if I were 15 again

hahaha...ummmm you shouldn't have problems. Just install SDK and apk multi tool in the SDK>tools folder or somewhere else. Then from command prompt you should be able to run the commands for the apk multi tool. I use the apktool and I have no problem at all. The main thing is to have adb installed...but there's no need to have the phone plugged to use the apk tool.
In the case of your device, make sure that u have the HTC drivers installed, if you have HTC Sync, you should have them...to try that just plug the phone as charge only, make sure that usb debugging is on and then open a cmd as admin and type adb devices...you should see your HTCserialnumber....

I didn't know I didn't need to have the cell plugged in, nice to know.
I had done all of that and it was working.... IT WAS WORKING , I decided to move a few folders around, something got messed up, tried placing them where they were, still no go, it's not recognizing my device anymore.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out eventually, but the problem is my head is going to start hurting any minute now. I'll be back shortly to ask you something you mentioned and I've read which I simply don't get - well, maybe not as shortly as I would like.
Edit: whenever I run the adb devices command it has to be done withing the folder where the adb.exe is located, right?
2nd edit: found it and it's working.
To run the adb devices command, which means going to that specific folder, would be seperate from using the apk tool? Would have moving the folders around somehow messed up the way apk tool would work? Im not even sure if im asking the right question
3rd edit: when you said to install the apk tool and sdk in the same folder, well, I already installed both of them to the default location.... what do you mean by that? Should I move them if they are not there? And if I may ask why?

If you read what they posted, they cannot get to the boot menu. I have a RUU program designed to run remotely from my computer over USB that works wonders if I ever have a problem. I could find the stock .img for your phone and send you the program where you would just plug your phone in over USB, run the program, locate your RUU file (which would be included) and your done. Should be back to normal, worked for me when I accidentally bootlooped. PM me for more info. This will require you to re-root your phone.

TC Inspire 4g Unbricking Guide
In this guide I will be showing you how to unbrick the HTC Inspire 4g for AT&T.
Requirements:
1. Your bricked phone (of-course)
2. HTC-Sync
3. USB Cable
4. HTC Inspire 4g Gingerbread RUU
5. S-ON
Steps:
1. Download HTC-Sync from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe
2. Download HTC Inspire Gingerbread RUU from: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
3. Install HTC-Sync
4. Boot into Bootloader mode and plug your phone into your pc
5. Run the RUU executable
6. It will take a moment to start, but when it does, go through the steps and it should start to flash the firmware
7. (Optional) Sometimes the process will freeze. It is ok though, open task manager, close the process, unplug your phone, pull the battery, and start over the process until you get it to work. (It worked first time for me.)
Then your phone should restart after it finishes flashing. Then your phone will be unbricked!
Thank you for looking and I hope this helps you in some way!

flashing the rom is the problem. it wouldnt let me into the recovery. the steps above actually help. now i just need to root the thing

I notice the bootlaoder step is vague. It needs to be in fastboot. So select fastboot from hboot so that you see fastboot USB on screen then run ruu.

Your sdcard is corrupted and won't work as a goldcard. Get a NEW one or one that has not been improper dismounted. By the way, if you phone were bricked then you would have nothing to do. You just got stuck.
Get the new sdcard and then flash the PD98IMG.zip file that the Hack Kit downloaded (it is in the PD98IMG folder and it is usually called PD98IMG-GBx.zip, being x a number. Of course make sure that you rename it PD98IMG.zip once in the sdcard).
Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

Recently tried to return to stock RUU via ace advanced hack kit. During the return to stock there was an error and my phone attempted to reboot. I currently can't get past the htc boot up screen. It powers on, shows htc screen, then fades to black. Attempted to hold power and vol button with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to bypass this? Can't get my pc to recognize my device so not really sure if I can push a new rom to it or not.

You can flash this PD98IMG. It will take a long time to react to stuff though so you will have to be patient. It's the inspire gingerbread hboot.

[HELP] Phone Unusable after multiple errors

Hi all,
My Sensation XE was recently dropped from a fair height, and now it is demonstrating multiple issues:
- Screen has a small buldge in upper left corner,
- Wifi does not turn on,
- Bluetooth does not turn on,
- The memory card cant be read,
- The casing got damaged.
I replaced the battery back cover with a used one from eBay this week, so that was a quick fix.
My wifi and bluetooth were still not turning on. So I thought I may as well restore the firmware to fix it.
After booting up in 4EXT Recovery Touch (ver1.0.0.3 beta 8), I formatted the system and data folder and then tried to restore it.
But now it wont boot into anything. I believe I have formatted my ROM by mistake and now it wont boot.
I can go to Recovery mode, but nothing from there.
Please guide me diagnose and restore my phone...

since you can't mount the sdcard from recovery then the nandroid is useless
your only option is the ruu.exe
does your sdcard fits correctly in its case?
maybe that's why you can't mount it after dropping

since you can't mount the sdcard from recovery then the nandroid is useless
your only option is the ruu.exe
does your sdcard fits correctly in its case?

So, I am trying to run RUU.exe and update the phoneset.

Please see attached snapshot.
I have tried this with a couple of ROMs, but still no success.
Kindly suggest what is going wrong here?

actually don't do it in that way
connect the device in fastboot mode to pc and run the ruu.exe directly
see also step 3 from the ruu thread

How do I run RUU directly ? Is there a separate tool or command line app for that ?

Thanks, downloading it now.

I check my CID, and it was HTC__001, which is HTC WWE handset.
Now, I downloaded and ran the RUU from the link, which is corresponding to my handset. After running for a long time, it gave me an error. I am attaching screenshots below.
Please assist.

I downloaded another RUU for my model Sensation XE, and thankfully, my phone is up again.
Now, about my Wifi, Bluetooth and SD card, they are still not working.
I know its a long shot, but could something be done about it ?

probably mate it's a hardware issue
check your back cover if antennas are fine(the one which is responsible for wifi)or try to lift them up a little bit
also check again the card reader if something is wrong
i am out of ideas mate

Thanks, I changed my back case, so its either hatdware issue or antenna pins being bent. I will try to ease them out gently.
Out of interest, does bluetooth also have an antenna?
