Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25593366, however, if you can get s-off it would make things much easier.

Is there a easier way to s-off, I don't have a pc

I don't know any method to S-off without a PC. Anyway, if you follow the guide you should be able to flash any ROM with S-On

Here is my advice to you, as far as the ROM getting stuck during install I really am not sure why it did that . But here are two suggestions, one move the ROM's zip file from the Download folder to the root of your SD card, two try re-downloading the ROM as you might have got a bad download.
Now let me address your main problem that you have not had yet because you have not successfully flash a new ROM yet. You are S-ON and HTC Dev unlocked so you will have to flash the boot.img as it will not flash during a normal install like devices that are full S-OFF. Now also seeing as you said you do not have a computer you need to install 4EXT Recovery so you can use Smart Flash to flash the boot.img. Without Smart Flash you will have to use a computer to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Now to install 4EXT Recovery without a computer you need to install the free 4EXT Updater app, when you download the apk make sure you go into Settings/Security and place a check beside "Unknown sources" and then use a file manager such as ESFile Manager or Astro File Manager (both free from yom the Play Store) to install the apk. Once you have it installed just open the app and select "Online install ¦ upgrade" option to install 4EXT Recovery then go into the Settings for the app and select the Recovery tab, then place a check beside "S-ON: 4EXT SmartFlash" then boot to recovery and flash your ROM. Follow the guide linked in this thread earlier also if you have troubles as it is the best guide for Sensation users that are HTC Dev unlocked and S-ON. Here is a link to the 4EXT thread as well.

Well it sounds like your SD card maybe messed up, if your device will not format the card while in recovery then your only other options are to try to format it with a computer. If you try using a computer I suggest you do a low level format first And then format it Fat32. Your other option is to just get another SD card.
Now to get your device functional again. The only way you will be able to do this now is using a computer to flash the official ROM for your device via RUU. This will not revert your device to S-ON but it will give you a locked Hboot again so you will have to re flash a eng-Hboot to your device. You will also have to flash a custom recovery again and re root your device. Go to this thread to try and find the RUU for your device and info on how to flash via RUU. Also a RUU is the only way you will be able to flash without a working SD card.

Cheers mate u are a mod god I got both on now, to oz ill do the unlock and root again, then. Can start putting some roms on

I got your PM and no problem man I am glad I could help. Now as for what it is doing now when it acts like it is updating does it say "Android updating" when it first boots up? If so it is just gathering needed information and making needed files for any new apps you have installed.now the fact that it is restarting and doing this every time is abnormal as it should only do it once. If that is not what it is doing and it is just showing the progress circle then that means the device is just finishing up loading everything. Now the only thing I can really think of to try is to either uninstall the last app or two that you installed to see if it is a app causing conflict. Make sure to reboot the device after uninstalling the app or apps. If uninstalling the last couple of apps does not help try doing a factory reset and see if it still reboots on it's own.
In one of your other post you said you did successfully S-OFF your device. If you are S-OFF then you do not need to unlock your device again with HTC Dev you just need to install a eng-Hboot. Go to Unlimited.io and click on Hboot downloads, then click on pyramid, last click on ICS. This will start a download for the eng-Hboot you need to install, go back to the first page I linked you to where you clicked on Hboot downloads. The fastboot commands you have to use to install the eng Hboot are on that page. If you do not have access to a computer with ADB already set up on it you can go to the User Friendly Firmware thread and downloaded the 3.33 Universal firmware package and flash ot via bootloader. Just put the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader and then follow the on screen instruction.

God 1 thing after another now I can't connect my phone to the comp, phone won't factory reset or go into recovery, just restarts

[Q] Boot Loop after Revolutionary - NOOB

Hello,
I am a noob here. My question is regarding rooting the Sensation. I rooted mine successfully and installed ISC.
Now on my friends device, we followed the same steps. After using Revolution, i booted to boot mode. When we tried to install pg58img if said SID Incorrect, Install Failed.
I did delete the pg58img file after from the main directory of the SD card after.
It is now caught in a boot loop. I can't seem to get out of.
Any recommendations?
Currently has HSBOOT 1.27
I did search in the forums and could not find a solution
I think that you should have flashed 1.23 first, then flash the ROM and now after a reboot you should flash hboot 1.27.
I also got stuck in a bootloop and all I could do was to run my RUU file, get back to stock and start over.
Thanks for the response. But where do I restart from? I can't boot the phone, I can't access it from the PC. It just loops.
That's where I am stuck

You haven't installed one and no you don't want h boot 1.23 because you will be stuck with s on unable to flash boot.IMG or radios. 1.27 has an exploit so you're able to get back to 1.17 h boot.
Also Revolutionary doesn't support 1.27.
You're stuck in a bootloop because you have the wrong h boot version for running GB Rom.

Hello thanks for the response. So whats my next step? Find 1.17, add it to the root directory and it should work?
Read this guide, it will explain the process and link you to the files you will need and explains how to flash boot.IMG

Attached is a photo of the boot screen. I tried looking the file with 1.17 failed to update. I tried one again with 1.27, it installed but still loops. And I cannot access recovery.
I know I may be doing the wrong thing, but I am lost at this point...
Okay do this, you need to find a recovery.IMG for the latest CWM or 4ext, I am not near my pc so I cannot upload one. Search the development forum, they do exist. You then turn off your phone and remove the battery and sd card, insert the sd into a reader on your pc. Copy the recovery.IMG to your sd card and change the name to PG58IMG.zip. Safely remove card from your pc, put it back in your phone, put battery back in. Boot into h boot and when it asks if you want to do update choose yes, it will update. Now you have custom recovery to flash custom ROM. You will still bootloop because you now have to flash an ICS ROM.
Do yourself a favor while you have the sd card in your pc and put a ICS ROM zip on it. Before you can flash your Rom you have to remove your sd card again same as before and delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card, safely remove it, put it back in phone boot into h boot scroll down to recovery, choose it by pushing power, now choose install zip option then choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the ROM zip you put there and install it.
You should be good now.

Your awesome!!!
YOUR AWESOME... Everything worked so far.
I was able to use CID to 11111111 and use your instructions. It did allow me to use a GB rom, but still not an ICS rom. I am assuming I will have to download another PG158IMG file ?
Atleast I am out of the loop for GB though!
If you want to run ICS you are on the right h boot 1.27. Which are you trying to flash? Check your mid. Use adb while in fastboot and type "fastboot getvar mid".
Glad to hear it's working now.

Hi all, I have been waiting long for the official upgrade to ICS from JTC which I was over the moon when I checked software update on my phone and found it was available, I downloaded it , hit install, the phone shut down , I closed my eyes and opened them to see that the phone didn't finish the setup and Instead had the green Android man with a triangle next to it with (!) Inside , first I left it dor an hour and when nothing happened, I had to take the battery off and restarted the phone and tried it again but no luck.

Try this First, use 4ext recovery to format all partitions except sdcard, install stock ROM by running RUU and see if that helps, IF NOT use the below method
I got this working for me after I tried getting to stock from ICS custom rom and semi bricked my sensation, you use this at your own risk:
1. Use htc dev unlock method and then use 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Install custom rom , a 2.3.4 rom (use Android Revolution HD 3.6.13), can be downloaded from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one
3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF
4. RUU was not flashing so do this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone
5. From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]
6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),
7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back
8. Result, relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem
Please tell if this helps
Dont make it s-off just install the ota to get rid off custom recovery
Then install the OTA
ore flash Mikes FW and then his stiock ICS
and has clockworks mod recovery on it
you need only stock recovery
jast flash orginal ruu and chek for update and install it

[Q] Noob Help - Wrong HBOOT

Folks, I have been through a million different forums and tried a million and a half things to get my phone to stop looping.
Here it is, (I should not have tried this due to my noob factor)
I have tried to install ICS insertcoin 5.1.7
I followed the guide to s-off - successful. Now it goes downhill and the details are foggy to say the least.
I am stuck with a bootloop and Model ID incorrect!
Here are the details:

HBOOT 1.27.1100
RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M

So my question is, can someone please provide me with a walkthrough on how I can fix this. I know I'm not asking much can you please provide direct links for files I will need to download. I also want to try and avoid ADB as even looking at the forum about this frightens me.
Fingers crossed im not 100% bricked.
Cheers,
Andy
My Hboot is 1.27 too.
but it doesn't matter.
I suggest you try the ARHD6.5 rom ( don't try the newest two, just v6.5.3 is ok.) .
Were you on GB ROM when you tried to flash to ICS? Also, it looks like an incomplete firmware flash. Based on what it's reading in H Boot, you have a GB radio and that should not be. Did you make a backup before you started?

So if it is an incomplete firmware flash, is it possible to just start the entire process again?
You can get the ice firmware from the thread linked in the first post in opensensation thread. Sorry I can't post links. Its the suggested firmware do. Flash that then wipe and install your rom. Ics will not boot on gb Firmware
You need to slowly step up to the ICS ROM, You can't flash from GB straight to ICS. Reflash firmware. Power off, remove battery put back in battery boot into fastboot, when it asks if you want to update choose yes, it will go through the update process, it wil flash off and back on, it's normal, it's still updating. When it's done it will say press power to reboot, do not reboot, scroll down to power off. Remove your battery and sd card and put your pc card in a reader on your pc. Delete PM58IMG zip from the card. Place the ICS ROM you want to flash onto sd card. Safely remove card from pc. Put sd card into phone, replace battery, boot into recovery and flash ROM.

Did you do supercid?
I forgot when I first rooted then when I flashed ics firmware I got a message like yours.
Follow the advice in my reply here ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571301
.... to make sure you have the correct fastboot drivers installed then follow the link in my reply to the rooting thread and follow step 4 (I think) with your phone in fastboot USB mode to get supercid.
You should then be able to flash gb or ics firmware followed by a gb or ics Rom
Good luck....
Hi,
try to reinstall the firmware from here. If your phone is broken, you will obviously need to put the stuff on the mem card manually.
If your phone is compatible that should work out of the box. If your CID is not on that list, you will need to follow their workaround and add it to the list in android-info.txt.

Please help!

Hi, i unlocked the bootloader on my HTC sensation, and flashed CWM recovery, it worked fine. I then went into recovery, and in my haste to install Cyanogenmod10, i wiped the factory settigs and the cache, after that i realized i'd gone wrong and tried a backup but by this point, there was no ROM to backup... Anyway i flashed CMX and it only took about 20 seconds which i thought was very odd. Reboted it and got stuck on the boot animation for about 35 minutes until i realized someting was terribly wrong... I installed another ROM and same thing, stuck on the bootscreen. Would anybody at all be able to help me to solve this problem or is it totally beyond all hope?
Did you s-off? If not, flash 4ext recovery, or you could mannualy flash a boot.img rfom adb.
If you are not s-off you have to use 4ext recovery and have smart flash enabled

And verify md5sum before you flash any zip.
You can put rom.zip from the correct RUU for your mobile on the sd card and it will flash in fastboot by itself, and ruu has data for all partitions so it will surely help you. Dont worry, just search this forum for "sensation ruu guide".

[Q] Power Button Not Working In HBoot

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.

I am happy using adb, but my main concern is fixing the boot loader, I have put a zip file on my sd card (pg58.zip) which the bootloader would normally find and use but it does not even look for it.

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.

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?

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.

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.
