Last night I finally achieved S-Off,and am trying to upgrade my firmware from 3.32 to 3.33 (universal). I loaded the PG581MG.zip onto my SD card. When I follow the steps to get the new firmware via bootloader, it continues to give me No Image! errors on the screen.
What am I doing wrong? Here are some details:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 1.2.2
Android version: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Firmware: 3.32.531.14
Kernel: 3.0.16 -v1.5.0 Sebastian FM#1
CDI: T-Mob010
MID: PG5810000
Am I having some sort of Fastboot issue? Any help would be appreciated.
David
How I updated my firmware was placed the pg58img file at sd card root. Then removed battery, put battery back in press power and volume down. The device then asked to update, press power for yes . After update DELETE the pg58img file and you're done. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll give it a try and see if it works.
connect the phone from bootloader/fastboot to PC (phone reads FASTBOOT USB after this )
copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the adb/fastboot folder of PC
then open command prompt from the adb/fastboot folder
(if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here )
then first check the connect of the phone to pc via typing this command
fastboot devices
it should show your device ...if it is showing then continue
type these commands one by one ..as follows
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC )
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (this is tha actual flashing process ..don't cancel it in the middle ..its highly dangerous to do so ..and ignore the green progress bar )
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots to bootloader after its complete)
Tried - didn't work
I removed the battery and tried what you suggested, but it didn't work. It continues to say "No Image!" over and over again.
Any other suggestions?
i believe i posted a solution
Thanks!

I have followed your steps, and am still having issues. When I use the command "fastboot devices" nothing happens. For whatever reason, it can't see my device.
Any suggestions?
Just read your first post mate and you've typed PG581MG.zip. is this what it is actually called because it should be PG58IMG.zip (as in the letter I not the number 1) otherwise it won't flash.

Unfortunately, that was just a typo on my part. I should have written PG58IMG.zip.

When I check the the software, it has my build number as 3.32.531.14. Does this mean I am still 3.32 firmware, or am I reading it wrong?

yes it means that you are still in 3.32 fw version
but for sure check it from connecting your device to pc
reboot to bootloader
open the command window and do
fastboot getvar version main
it will show you the exactly fw version

I appreciate your input. I'm still not sure why I'm having trouble updating my firmware. Do I need to go back to stock ? Something is preventing the firmware from updating. Any thoughts?

You can only check your firmware using this command

i have searched and have found many people with similar problems but none of the solutions have helped me, that said i apologise if ive missed the answer.
so ive used htcdev to unlock my bootloader which went fine then ive decided to "s-off" my phone which has gone fine, well im "s-off"ed however im stuck on the juopunutbear screen everytime i turn the phone on.
ive tried guide on the unlimited.io website - controlbear.exe -r, controlbear.exe -f. when i carry out the next point when i get to "fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img" i get a failed.
this i believe has happened because i started the process in kgs1992's aio app which crashed so i shut it and completed in controlbear, i cant think where else i went wrong, ive read loads of guides.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLPP........gotta ring my dad tomorrow which atm isnt gonna happen!

And are you still struck at the juopunutbear screen?
Then what error you got when you used fastboot command?
... wait why did you do juopunutbear when you are already soff?
Edit:
Got the point..
Try those fastboot commands again
Connect the phone properly .. you should connect the phone properly.. If connected properly the phone says FASTBOOT USB .. if it's just saying FASTBOOT then you didn't have drivers installed or the connection is not proper.
If it's saying HBOOT press power button once.. That should take you to required screen

This has worked! Thankyou very much for your time!
If Struck on juopunutbear screen:
Well, there's an easy solution if you're struck on the juopunutbear boot screen on your phone. Follow the steps in order:
1.Open the folder where you've extracted the juopunutbear setup files.
2.There'll be a image file in the folder called "boot_backup".
3.Copy that file to the folder you've created during the bootloader unlocking process from HTCDev. The folder contains the fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll etc files, and probably it is in your c:\Android.
4.Rename the copied boot_backup image file to "boot" only.
5.Take out your battery out, reinsert it and boot into the bootloader mode using volume down + power button.
6.You'll see a red writing " fastboot usb"
7.See your computer screen now, the current folder where you copied and renamed.
8.Holding "shift" button on your keyboard, right click inside the folder and select "open command promp window here".
9.Type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and press enter.
10.Then type" fastboot reboot" and press enter.
11.Your phone should reboot normally now.
[****The above method is based on stock sensation rom. If you're struck in a custom rom, then in step 3, copy the boot.img file of the custom rom from where you've downloaded your rom and continue the steps******]
Make sure you unplug all usb devices when doing juopunutbear method, I couldn't do it for hours then I unplugged all devices and restarted PC. It worked on 1st try.

since you are on S-ON you have to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
or flash 4ext recovery and enable smartflash from it before flashing the rom
as you understand in any case you need sdk tools(adb and fastboot) on your pc

Try following method 2 in this guide( through updating via PG58IMG.zip file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599816. Be carefule about the md5 checksum of the recovery image. Double check before flashing!!
After this, boot into recovery(from the bootloader menu, select appropriate superuser.zip file(for rooting, search xda ...there are many options) and flash root. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Now you can flash any custom rom.
All the above assuming you can somehow transfer files to your SD card through a card reader or any other means...
NOTE: Delete the PG58IMG.zip after flashing recovery.

Still won't work. I have tried flashing stock firmwares, stock and non-stock recoveries, reflashing root.zip, restore from known good backups, nothing has worked. Phone is stuck at first HTC logo screen and will go no further, and with no USB connectivity, it's impossible for me to flash even PG58IMGs' because the phone is S-on.
Maybe this could work for you...just a suggestion

Ok, from your reply i gather that even though you transferred the PG581MG to your SD card, the phone did not update when your got to the bootloader menu. I do not think being S-ON will prevent you from installing from the zip file...but maybe i am wrong. Hey now all i can think is this:
Turn off your phone, remove the battery, wait for some time(~10seconds), then put the battery back in. Now press Power +Vol down switch together. Now at the boot loader menu select Fastboot and press Power button. Connect your phone to your PC now and wait. The check if the next screen shows 'FASTBOOT USB'.
If you get 'FASTBOOT USB' in the next screen, then you have multiple options, but for you i would suggest that you download the latest RUU for the phone depending on your region and cid. Then run the ruu while the device is still in FASTBOOT USB mode. This will restore your phone's firmware recovery and rom back to stock.
But if your phone does not show fastboot usb then i'm stumped dude...maybe the experts here in our sensation community will be able to help out....
All the best ...and report if anything improves...

You need to install a custom recovery in order to flash custom roms. I recommend installing 4ext via fastboot

You use fastboot to flash the recovery.img available from the 4ext website.

Of course. the img is either very well hidden or not available from the website :-/
Never mind. I found once elsewhere except...
I can't use fastboot or adb as the phone is not being recognised using usb.
Phone constantly rebooting so get the usb connected, then disconnected dings but won't stay awake long enough to lock in.
If I load the bootloader first than try I get all sorts of device not found errors.
"adb > devices" reveals nothing
"adb reboot-bootloader" = "error device not found"
etc.
(BTW all these work on my HTC One so it's more likely my Sensation that's not set up right here. In fact my Sensation used to work via USB, now it doesn't)

Use volume down and power to boot into hboot, from hboot use the volume buttons to select fastboot and use power to select it. Connect the device to the computer via USB and wait for drivers to install if necessary. Then you can use the fastboot commands to flash the recovery.img use
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the name of the .IMG you have downloaded and placed into your fastboot path.

Oof! I was connecting the USB too early. Wasn't getting the FASTBOOT USB section.
Thanks.
Nearly there now.

you will see FASTBOOT USB section not only when installing htc drivers but also when choosing fastboot from bootloader
maybe you missed that

Is you bootloader unlocked?
Hi all,
I'm trying to save a relative's HTC One S which got its internal storage wiped.
Currently I can access Hboot, fastboot, and recovery (that's it) but I get the error in the attachment when I'm in fastboot USB
I'm unable to mount the internal storage or flash a new recovery too.
Information about the phone:
*** UNLOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.13.0000
RADIO-0.17.31501S.10_2
OpenDSP-v28.1.0.32.0504
eMMC-boot
Apr 20 2012, 15:14:18
TWRP Version 2.5.0.0
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
In fastboot usb do you have fastboot command recognize the device? If you issue "fastboot devices" what you get?

When I type fastboot devices nothing appears.
remove old htc drivers and htc sync too, download and install these latest drivers ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396 ) , then try connect fastboot again . If nothing happens tell us.
if you use windows 8.1 try these, same procedure ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544146 )

I got it detected on another computer;
I relocked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" but now it doesn't enter recovery mode, and has *** SECURITY WARNING *** at the top of the screen
what exactly you did when the computer detected your phone, what steps and stuff you used.

Typed "fastboot devices" to see if the phone was connected
Typed "fastboot oem lock" to relock bootloader
Used WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0
And that's where I am now. Thanks!

Bootloader need to be UNlocked when installing recovery, now you need to go back to stock, unlock re locked bootloader and then put recovery. Thats why the security messege appears.

Okay thanks for that! I got TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed (anything higher would cause a reboot loop) and have Internal SDcard mounted in recovery mode. Where do I go from here? I'm just looking to go back to a stock device (no more hassles)
Thanks again!
I guess find an RUU that matches your device. You can run a new RUU as well.

That worked!
Thanks to everyone
Can you tell us what RUU you used?
Thanks!
