The problem with the revolutionary hboot is that it's a little bit tricky to overwrite it, cause of this only the adb method with dd command works, take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285312
there is this solution described and also other possibilities of this fails, after you got that just run a ruu and your device should be stock within s-on.

is it not possible to use this method? haha sounds so much easier...
1.Take the ENG HBOOT found here and put the PG88IMG.zip in the root of your SD card
2.Boot into the bootloader (Volume Down + POWER)
3.Go into FASTBOOT mode
4.The bootloader will automagically detect your new HBOOT and install it
5.After rebooting your phone you can install any RUU you want. That will bring HBOOT back to the installed original
Unfortunatly with revolutionary bootloader not.
oh damn lool..
time to take the risky path
thanks anyway will let you know how it goes...
thanks once again mate
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.

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 do not know how to install it. It is not a zip file so when I go into recovery it does not see it.
Are there complete instructions on how to install this file. I do not want to miss a step and mess up my phone further. Soory for not doing proper reasearch and have to bother someone. I was too overconfident before starting procedure.

The RUU is a windows executable file you just have to run, with your phone connected via usb.
Jus remember that it will wipe you phone for all data, so be sure to have a backup.
It should be a zip file and it should be placed in the root folder of your ad card I know this because I had to do it on my sensation 4g let me do some checking through the post and see if I can get you a link and down load the correct ruu so you can upgrade to ics hang tight this is easy

While in h boot, click on fastboot by pushing power button when in h boot, then plug your phone into pc and run ruu.exe as administrator. As long as you have fastboot drivers installed you should be able to run the ruu while the phone is in fastboot.

if you want to use the ruu.exe(restores everything back to stock) then you have to relock first the bootloader
the command is fastboot oem lock
if you want to flash a rom from recovery then:
flash 4ext recovery
enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done
note: don't rename it as recovery.img just recovery

about the ruu.exe you don't have to rename anything at all
just run it as it is from pc(double click on it)
only connect the device to pc in fastboot mode(from bootloader and it should say fastboot usb)
by the way do you have 4ext installed?
and secondly do you want to return to stock condition or just want to flash a custom rom?
I would like to not have stock but at this point I'll take an. Thing. I'm trying to use kgs to get firmware seeing if that is my Problem. I used a recovery to be honest I'm now sure
Hello!!!
I have one problem with my sensation bootloader unlock. I took Unlock_code with HTCdev site and I start the unlock screen appears, yes or no, and when I click yes and power button phone freezes. Also when I run reboot bootloader also freeze. He prayed to for help. Pictures are attached.
P.S. Also when you are fallen cell phone shows HTC logo and go to end reboot reboot and when I go into recovery then get an error shown in Fig.
Sorry for my bad english.
If you want to unlock your bootloader to flash custom ROMs or a custom recovery, then I would suggest you to s-off your sensation since the HTC Dev unlock won't work.
The s-off method by ganeshp is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
Read the thread carefully, and if you need the windows version for juonuput s-off then shoot me a PM and ask me for it. Recovery.io only supports Linux (as for now)
You can also install Ubuntu on your PC to use the Linux version.

@ganeshp's one click root doesn't require htc dev unlock (meaning no prequisite permanent root; the guide has steps for temproot).
You just need one boot.
Do this: get the boot.img of your current (stock rom) and type fastboot boot boot.img.

I know its a long shot, but you should try doing a factory-reset from the bootloader, just in case it works.
Otherwise run an RUU from the bootloader.
firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?
It really is great to see your input guys.
@Far_SighT: I have tried doing the temp_root method, but it doesn't work for me. I could successfully run temp_root.bat just once (luckily, even in boot loop), but next when I tried doing the Juopunutbear SOFF it missed detecting my phone (again, because of the bootloop)
I don''t know where I can get a boot.img file from; for what it's worth, I could only get an OTA zip file for my region/CID from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764025
@raz0rf1sh: I have done factory reset several times from bootloader, doesn't help friend. I don't have an RUU for my region/CID, all I have is an OTA zip file for my phone from the link I have specified right above this. Can't seem to get an RUU for firmware base 3.33, and CID HTC__038.
@rzr86: Posting all the details I am aware of currently:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT - 1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Mar 2 2012, 18:14:34
CID - HTC__038
Software version - 3.33.720.106

firstly Itsakash he can't S-OFF because the device must be booted to the OS
secondly Far_SighT the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
thirdly as raz0rf1sh suggested factory reset is a good idea and
fourthly jiteshgawali can you post your bootloader details?

For stock rom go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923629.
Get the rom and extract boot.img.
Then use the earlier command I posted.
Yes I haven't seen Indian version ruu until now ..so ruu is out of question AFAIK
Now the factory reset over boot loader should help if you have software problems but as per your replies it didn't work it seems
Tried HTC Dev unlock ? Even if the motherboard is replaced its worth a try
If htcdev unlock failed
Then try to go to recovery first ..from boot loader and if you went to recovery properly let me know
The other solution I propose is try to do change the cid ..even on locked bootloader sometimes it works
Try these commands one by one
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
Then
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check cid using this command
fastboot getvar cid
If cid changed that's a good sign

I said fastboot boot boot.im instead of fastboot flash boot booti.img as the previous one boots the rom with with the new image but doesn't attempt to write that to the boot partition. Hence it might get him a much needed boot to s-off.

as you stated your current is 3.33.720.106 so the OTA update is unnecessary
do as ganeshp suggested

both S-OFF guides say that stock rom is required in order to follow the S-OFF procedure

Thanks for responding Ganesh. HTC Dev Unlock never worked for me post change of motherboard, but thanks for the suggestion.
I am able to browse the recovery option from bootloader properly.
And it gives me a little satisfaction to let you know that I was able to change the CID to HTC__001 following your steps. Can you suggest what I should be doing next?
