My Sensation had ics t-mobile version with hboot1.27. It is rooted, unlocked, supercid, with s-on. I tried wire trick by JuopunutBear and missed. I can get into bootloader or a white screen with HTC in big letters. I can not connect it by usb to my computer -- adb does not detect device. ControlBear.exe does not detect device. On bootup to bootloader, I can get device to scan for PG58IMG.zip files. I have tried about every PG file on the web and tried clockworkmod files to no avail. It appears to me that my only way to save my phone is to place a miracle file on the sd card using my card reader. That is what I have tried with original PG58IMG.zip files. It has ver 3.6 sense and 3.32.531.147ORD software no. and Kernel ver. 3.0.16gc764bfb. Ten days and no relief, please help at wits end.

OK.. Now juopunutbear failed.. So if nothing got modified yet
Try the troubleshoot point #4 from my soff guide.. Link in my signature
Edit: also if you have backup in clockworkmod recovery.. Then first restore the backup.. Get the boot.img from the backup.. And do extra 1 step from " Flashing roms with SON guide" by asskickar in sensation general section

I connected to my son's samsung, device found. Drivers are working well. On the same note, I got a message when retrying the wire trick that drivers were not installed, that being QHSUSB_DLOAD. Googled it and said to try the wire trick, did it and an entry of android with drivers showed up. Next, did a controlbear fast boot and drivers disappear. Same applies to ADB devices. Tried the kill-server and etc but no go.It looks more like doa.
I started this process b/c I got 2g with t-mo ics upgrade. So, I rooted, unlocked, supercid, went for wire trick to remove s-on but failed. Maybe my download of controlbear was bad - about 10 days ago. Is there hope to repair, or is it time to throw in the towel? Thank for your help.

At this point.. When you type "fastboot devices" without quotes the phone will be listed
Do one thing...
Flash a custom rom
Follow the guide "Flashing roms with SON " by asskickar in sensation general section to the letter.
Don't say the phone's not getting detected
We don't need adb to install a custom rom
And when phone connected from bootloader to pc (phone reads FASTBOOT USB) fastboot commands works
And those commands are enough to install a custom rom
Read the guide.. You'll understand (where ever there is an adb command in the guide.. Immediately the next step would be an alternative saying do the step #4)

Not sure if this will help when you are messing with hardware. But I keep a full backup of my SD card on my computer. I have bricked my phone once and I removed the SD card and using my pc to restored the SD card back to the pre bricked backup and put the PG58IMG file back on the card. This got me to recovery. Then unmounted SD card, removed the PG581IMG on PC (Couldn't get ADB ro work). Put the SD card back in, used Recovery to reset back to factory original and restored to a ROM backup I know was good before I started messing about and bricked my phone. Worked for me. Took forever to do, but it worked and I was able to stop my wife telling me "I told you to stop messing with that stupid phone'
Of course if you have no offline backups then find a door that needs to be kept open or a pile of papers you need to stop blowing away.

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.

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.

Hey guys, So I initiated flash today and have come across a slight problem;
I followed the guides on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4#post21711154
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=21989107
I saw that the first thing to have done was install 4ext recovery. I followed the read me and tried the "adb reboot bootloader" but it kept saying device not found. Then I noticed I had it already in my phone, so I ran the backup and it said back up complete. So then I turned off the phone, rebooted into bootloader and waited for the update. However, it said "error invalid CID and can't update. Press power to reboot" It was the only option given. So then, I followed the guide on Kohr-Ah's page and took out the SD card, rebooted into bootloader, went to Recovery, ran superwipe and installed ARHD 6.5.1 with Beats Audio. After everything went done and well, it rebooted and turns on but once the beats logo completes its circle, it gets stuck on the beats page. I ran the wipe again, and reinstalled ARHD and still gives the same result. Any body know how I can solve it?
I also forgot to say that when I try to install the PG581IMG (the firmware) it says:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted.
Update: I cleared cache from 4ext, and reflashed the rom. After rebooting and passing the htc white screen, I'm at a black screen with "android" written across in metallic silver. It has a white flash pass pass through the whole writing. It's been like this for about 15 or so minutes.
your links are pointing no where...404 page not found, if you have a sensation and not a sensation XE your update zip should be called PG58IMG.zip not PG581IMG.zip
but really need to see where your links point to..
Did you flash the firmware for the rom - 3.32? If not this is the cause of the boot loop. Have you got s-off via revolutionary?
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium
Happened with me....Insert the SD card again which was inside when you flashed ARHD ROM....it will boot.....
Stringer, No I did not before doing the wipe. Something I realized I should have done after I had run Superwipe. But when I do run it it says installation aborted for some reason. I do have S-off via revolutionary. I'd gotten it done the first time when I flashed the custom rom, along with SuperCID.
Ali3nfr3ak, I made a mistake, I do have the PG58IMG file. Sorry bout the links, here they both are: 1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21989107
Mathrania: What do you mean reinsert the SD card? It is inserted, it has been so the whole time, but still gets stuck on the black screen with android on it.
I should put out my Revolutionary
PYRAMID PVt ship s-OFF RL

I check the md5sum for the PG58IMG file and it gives the following
fea9240feef50554a17688dc2b1a7bac
However, when I check this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 that Mike linked for the firmware on his page, I can't file that md5sum nor the file itself. I see that the rom is based on Firmware 3.32.401.5 but I can't even find 5, on that page I see only up to "x" and "10x" that's it. Am I missing something?
I'm sorry for being persistent, but I really need the phone working and I've looked in as many places as I can find to see if some one else had the problem so that I could acquire some help that way. But alas, it came fruitless. Any and all help would be appreciated. I've wiped cache and dalvik cache, but still nothing. It now goes up to the beats screen but gets stuck on that screen.
Okay, lets go back to the basics.
Check everything, make sure you're super CID. You need to flash the correct firmware that the rom needed (go with the 3.32), then delete it from the sd card after flashing. Then, you should superwipe. Then flash the correct ARHD (make sure that you used the ICS one)

I do remember having done super CID, however when I had the PG58IMG in there it would say "incorrect CID" and "update failed" at the bootloader main screen right after scanning and would tell me to "press power button to reboot." I'm not sure which version of the firmware I should have gotten, I have the hboot version 1.27.1100 and am seeing that the guides say to have 3.32.401.5 of the firmware but I couldn't find that version anywhere.
I did just as you said now, and it still got stuck on beats. It's as though it gets stuck right as it's about to load up.

If its saying incorrect CID, then you're not on superCID, because when you are on super cid you can flash any firmware from any region or carrier (correct me if im wrong lol). Check the CID, make sure that its "11111111"

Well that makes sense. Now here's a wee bit of another problem. I can't get cmd to recognize my devices as as per the guide I need to go into usb charge mode, however I can't even get the phone to boot. I'm wondering now if I do a factory reset via bootloader or 4ext if it would reset the whole thing and get back my stock rom and all? As well as if it will delete anything backed up on to the SD card? I can superCID right after and then run the firmware as well as superwipe and ARHD
If any one's around and can help, please don't hesitate. I'm in a bit of a desperate situation as to the solution. May be if I can get the modelid and edit it into the notepad, that would work? Potentially? If there's an actual solution, even better.
Does boot loader work? If so boot that, select fastboot. Does PC recognise phone now?
EDIT: is recovery working?
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium
I went into fastboot and noticed it turn into FASTBOOT USB, I rebooted the system but still froze on the beats screen. Should I fastboot bootloader? PC wasn't recognizing phone at all. I think I should keep it in that fastboot USB menu and then play around with CMD, any thoughts? Recovery? Are you asking about Clockwork recovery? Or 4ext?
OK go back to boot loader, plug into PC and open cmd terminal as admin.
cd to whatever folder your fastboot driver is in and enter "fastboot devices". You should get device and serial no returned.
That shows PC recognises phone.
From there you can boot into recovery (yes CWM or EXT4), wipe everything, superCID, and flash fw/rom.

Thank you, sooo much. So what the reason it wasn't going into Fastboot USB was 1) I had the HTC sync software installed on another computer and not the current one, 2) I didn't have SuperCID but BM__001, and using the other computer I switched it to 11111111. I also was using "adb" as a command on CMD rather than "fastboot" I noticed Fastboot followed by command worked but with adb it wasn't finding the device.
SUCCESS! Phone's now operating. Many thanks to all those who contributed. All I have to do now is restore SMS back up as well as some data back up from 4ext. Should I redownload SMS back and restore to restore or should I do a 4ext restore first and then SMS?
Sorry I fell asleep yesterday, good to know that everything is fine now.
Regarding about you new question, well im not sure about that. Correct me if im wrong, 4ext copies an exact image of what your phone is before you flashed it. So when you recover through 4ext it will turn your phone back to the last rom you used. Im correct? lol

That's quite alright. Actually what happened is I thought I need to go into 4ext and do a recovery, and did so only to brick the phone. SO I reflashed it and installed the ROM again only to find that 4ext automatically reinstalls all apps. It did and I was soo happy. As for my sms messages, I went back to sms back up and restore and restored them. All's well for me right now. Though I'm noticing some lag on the phone itself, in performance, and sending text messages. And especially in the music player.
My buddy dump a Desire S on me which the phone keep rebooting on HTC white screen.Tried Factory Reset but it just reboot imediately.
No backup whatsoever because he didn't give the sd card to me.I'm new to android and i've read through this forum to understand the basics.Now,since the phone already screwed up,i worry i'll make it worse so pls guide me.

I'm having hard time to setting up adb to start.I've downloaded a recovery image.
There's nothing on top of PVT.
After some reading i worry thaat i'll screw it up if i flash the recovery without S-off and unlock bootloader.
I read somewhere that i could download a file from htcdev kernel section and flash but how to flash?i downloaded it.which program i should use to flash the file?
Get a newer RUU and flash. Check the CID and download the correct RUU for your CID.
And stop worrying so much, otherwise you won't fix anything. Flashing with different radio won't do a thing, as well as flashing a different RUU as long as you have goldcard. But since you don't have, just look for the correct RUU.
It seems like its hboot 98, just do the revolutionary ?

Also a good solution. Just need to move to FASTBOOT screen.
Bluehawk, just go on with www.revolutionary.io , it will root and s-off the device. No need guide link, just open the web, and it will show you the guide, step by step, newb friendly. But remember to choose the right option, imei and sn.
By then, after complete revolutionary, be happy and fastboot flash any recovery image.
Kinda lucky situation, already hboot 98, easy to handle i think. Unless the device soft/hard bricked already.

Alright,i've do tried to s-off using revo but i couldn't get my device detected by revo,sigh.Tried many times but it still BLINKING ON WAITING FOR DEVICE.Tried on another pc,same result.I've installed all the driver and updated my device in device manager.On my phone,If enter vol-|power on hboot/connect usb/my device manager detects as ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE and when i entered fastboot it detects as MY HTC.I don't know where i'm doing it wrong.Or its some chip fkd up?
Now,i've installed adb/fastboot on my windows7 and adb seems not working but fastboot going good.Here's some info i've got while typing some commands:
Fastboot device - HTC14ctxxxxxx (simply typed it xx,security purpose?idk lol)
CIDNUM - HTC_621
Emmc should be Sandisk
Version-main 1.31.950.2
If possible i really wanted to S-off it so that i could flash custom recovery etc,not much hassle as official i guess.So yeah,revolutionary not detecting my device.Maybe i guess because the phone had not set to debugging etc or so prior it went dead?
So should i download a RUU and flash?which one should i go for with above cid?can i flash with fastboot command?which command should i use to locate a RUU?
Sorry guys,i'm new with android and htc.hope u guys could pardon my noobies.
Revolutionary might be running in ADB mode by default, and that's the reason it's not detecting your phone - you can't boot to the state when ADB is functional, ADB daemon starts running when the kernel is booted already. Since Revolutionary is an executable, it's not possible to manipulate it into starting directly in fastboot.
In that case, I guess, you're left with flashing the RUU.

did you change to fastboot usb?
here's my step to revo, I pull the batt for 5 sec, put it in, and boot into hboot/bootloader . Top option is fastboot, i selected it and it will change to fastboot usb. then plug in usb . and it detect my HTC DS.
note : HTC Sync installed, and HTC Fastboot driver installed in order to get it work.
EDIT : Jack_R1 is right maybe. For your HTC DS, it's taiwan made, so search for oldest htc asia ruu.
[email protected] That makes sense.Thx.
[email protected] There's only these 3 htc asia RUU as below.Which to go?

2.RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed.exe

My suggestion.
If you don't want to run into any problem try to make goldcard. It is easy. Use google search, and search for android gooldcard how to.
If you have a laptop, or cardreader it'll be a easy step.
Also before you run the RUU boot the device into fastboot. By volume down +poer button.
Don't worry.
I've messed my phone before and fix it without breaking it!
What you shouldn't do is pull out and rapid back in the battery while the phone stays at the white screen.
You can burn out the emmc chip that way.
[email protected] for the link buddy.I'll try it once i've prepared a goldcard,just incase.
[email protected] the midst of making a goldcard.Since i cant make goldcard on my phone,Tried readcid and goldcardhelper downloaded and plug my sd direct to laptop card reader but non working.I'll find someone who own an android phone and make golcard in their phone.
Appreciate you guys!Simply the best guiding forum!
UPDATE:
Got hold of a Samsung Galaxy SII,insert my 2gb unmount erase and did GoldCard Helper.I've got 2 CID as below:
mmc1:aaaa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mmc0:0001 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Which one should i use to create goldcard image?
Finally,the phone is up and running good!
I tried to make goldcard but not sure of the cid i should use to create image.
Went on to flash the RUU as per suggested by anaz and the phone came to life!I really appreciate everyone of you for the guide and advise.Thank you guys!
Hi,
I have a HTC Sensation. I wanted to root the phone, so that I could install custom ROM's. Fist I unlocked the phone following HTCDev's instructions. It worked fine. The bootloader screen said UNLOCKED. After that, I decided to S-OFF the phone with Juopunutbear. I ran the temp_root.bat first, then I ran ControlBear.exe. Everything went fine. I got the message that I should do the wiretrick, which I did. From this moment on, I am stuck. I tried to run temp_root_remove.bat but that didn't work. I tried all kinds of thing. (example: I tried to flash original RUU from HTC to the phone, but then while sending signature it has an ERROR.)
Please help me!

hi
greetings,
visit here and check troubleshoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
can you tell on which screen the phone is stuck?
You got error while flashing a ruu as your bootloader is unlocked, lock the bootloader and you can run the ruu (keep this as the last option)

I have done this troubleshooter. It did not help. I am stuck on the juonunutbear screen with the green arrow pointing down.
EDIT: i have tried also relocking the phone (which went well) and installing the original RUU. It has a problem/error message when "sending signature".
tnx for your help until now

Same issue
Hi there....
I'm not new to Android and have had my Sensation for over two years. Previously to that, I was using a blackberry changing os files and such.
I'm having the same problem as the user above and frankly not sure what to do at this point.
I've gone to the HTCdev and unlocked the bootloader but the phone has S-On.
Downloaded the Controlbear program and didn't realize I needed the wire to finish the steps. I exited the program and now it's stuck at that screen.
I've pulled out the SD card and formated it on my PC to then put on a rom to at least get it to boot into it but that hasn't worked.
I've also downloaded the RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14 stock rom to try to reset it but the name of the device shows as asjds.
When I run the program, It had problems installing stopping on the black htc screen. Now it just boots up to the white screen with green HTC logo.
I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

did you remove the temproot?

The thing is whenever my phone comes on it goes directly into the bootloader page and within few minutes it hangs and turns off, so if i plug it to the system it doesnt even recognise it. so if am to do the temproot, am not sure my system would recognize the phone.

Hi I have a problem, I've recently tried getting S-Off in order to flash CM10 on my HTC Sensation. I was also able to flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery on my phone.
It seemed to be successful but I'm having the following problems:
1. Booting into Android just brings me to the juopunutBear screen. The one with the green arrow pointing downwards.
2. Loading the bootloader gives me a "Could not load image! PG58DIAG.zip" error. Everything else seems to be working well though.
3. The SD card cannot be mounted in USB mode. Looks like I can read files on it in recovery, so its just mounting the phone as USB mode that seems to be the problem.
ADB seems to be working properly, as well as fastboot. I don't really want to move on from here because I'm afraid I will break/have already broken something.
Help/clarifications would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Should I just flash the ROM straightaway?

Does this mean I have to revert it back before I can continue with installing any ROMs etc?
Another point of information, the boot backups doesn't seem to be in the folder where ControlBear is. I did it through a VirtualBox Ubuntu.
