My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.

It says locked but nothin is locked. Try to flash 4ext recovery over adb. Should work I think. Instructions in general forum .

Thanks.
i'll try and see whats going to happen.
Which update did you download? There are a couple available - odexed & deodexed.
Maybe worth trying which ever one you didn't download the first time?
Also are you giving it plenty of time to load? First boot from a fresh install always takes a long time.
Don't worry, you don't have a brick

You need to get your phone s-off using one of the methods in this part of the forum. Then you can install ext4 & new rom

HOW???
My hboot is HBOOT-2.00.0002 and the revolution to s-off is only for hboots 0.98.0000 & 0.98.0002.
Can you be more specific?
The only way that i can communicate to my DS is only via fastboot.
Can anybody help or the phone goes to the trash?? What should i do??
Waiting for stock RUU 2.10.401.4
I believe that the only way to restore the phone is to wait till the stock RUU 2.10.401.4 leak someday..
If anybody else can help me please do.
Thanks.

That would be a choice, but I would say you'll be better of to use xtc-clip to gain s-off, after this everything is possible or just give it back for warranty and let them repair it,
because it's still s-on, but just to know, what else where in the zip?
Could it be that you forgot something, have you tried a factory reset?

Xtc-clip works with every version on every HTC device.
Go to a second hand handy shop that also does repairs and stuff like this maybe they get one, I s-offed mine this way for €20^^
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What did you download originally?
Was it an official ota update, or from this forum?
If you tried to flash the odexed version, many users have problems with this. Can you try the deodexed version?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I was with the original shipped rom 1.47.401.4 S-ON & UNROOTED.
I downloaded via my computer http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Saga_S...1.47.401.4_release_217301kjfuq12qqm0wuhg7.zip
In that zip file there was another zip file called Firmware.zip.
I renamed the firmware.zip to pg88img.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.
I rebooted holding the volume down button and the phone went to bootloader mode found the pg88img.zip and flashed it.
After that the phone goes only to bootloader showing

Is there any way to flash the OTA via fastboot since over adb i get the message device not found..???
Do you have a "recovery" option in the fastboot menu? If so try to go to this menu and see if adb recognises it then. But you have probably tried this already, right.
With adb, when you type 'adb devices', your phone is not shown, correct?
I'm not sure about getting S-off with the new hboot, I did mine with the old hboot.
You could try to download the deodexed rom on this page and flash that, but you need to get into recovery first.
Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.
Did you try to install these fastboot drivers?
Unfortunately i have tried everything so far but didn't work.
The xtc clip maybe is the only way.. Or if the s-off solution of revolution will support in future my hboot and do it that way.
I also noticed that when i tried to flash the stock rom i had 1.47.401.4 and was stuck on the HTC logo the update software said that i had rom 11.10.401.4.!!!!!
Since i flashed the original fota why the version said 11.10.401.4 and not 2.10.401.4??
WTF IS GOING ON.??
Well, I still don't think you have a brick - you can get into the bootloader, you just need your pc to recognise it via USB.
Have you tried flashing the previous hboot version you had? To enable revolutionary s-off?
Also have a look around the general Android forums, there are some very experienced peeps there who may be able to help.

You should ask this question on the XTC phone tools forum to raskal to be 100% sure that this new version is covered (see link on the XTC in my sig)
and as @tectas has said, there is still a possibility that you are still able to return under warranty and allow them to resolve it for you..
sorry unable to assist with confidence.
EDIT: see this thread that I created a while back that contains another link within it to lots of XTC owners around the world within it, but I'd confirm that the new HBOOT is covered before you run XTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076937&highlight=xtc
I ask them. Thanks anyway.
The 3 things left.
1. to ask xtc forum if my hboot-2.00.0002 is supported.
2. to wait till revolution s-off supports in the future my hboot.
3. to wait till someone leakes the stock signed ruu 2.10.401.4
That's all unfortunately..

The usual solution would be to restore a nandroid backup.
Barring that, try clearing cache and dalvik cache then rebooting.

Your present firmware does only support a GB based ROM. Did you try to flash a ICS based ROM?? If so you will get bootloop. Flash a GB based ROM or restore is GB nandroid backup.
You are S-ON . So It is difficult to flash new firmware to use ICS. You can not install a PG58IMG.zip to upgrade your firmware. So if you are interested to use ICS you have to flash an Official ICS RUU. Else you can run revolutionary to achieve S-OFF after installing a working GB ROM. S-OFF will make your life much easier.

Why on earth did you "fastboot oem lock" ??
Anyway, before you go anywhere, can you get S-OFF, without S-OFF almost all changes are impossible.
At the moment can you issue any ADB commands to the phone e.g. "adb reboot-bootloader" ?
Look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Make sure you read, read and re-read before trying anything further.

Have you tried to S-OFF using revolutionary in its current state ? It currently supports the following HBOOTs:

Computer doesn't recognize phone in HBOOT mode just bootloader... it says UNKNOWN DEVICE in Device Manager. I've also tried on different computers, usb cables and adb drivers.... still nothing with HBOOT :/
Seems like you don't have htc driver installed.
You can either install Htc Sync (which will automatically install driver) or make a serch in the forums for HTC driver.

hi seniors
i am new to Android phones.
I have HTC Sensation Xe which was rooted and with unlocked boot loader, also have super user permission(what ever in technical terminology).
Hboot verion 1.29.0000 and it's S-On.
Recently I tried to install Elegancia Rom on it, after following instructions I flashed my phone.
After restarting my phone, It got stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have waited for it to boot for more then 15 min, but it never went ahead from that screen.
I have tried to wipe cache and dalvik etc. and re flashed again. But every time it stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have tried to restore backup( Nandroid) from recovery screen( which is 4ext recovery), but it not recognizing my backup.
Now I am not able to do anything on my phone, so please help me how to revive my phone??
Its not bricked. The problem is you are S-ON and so should have enabled SmartFlash in 4EXT or manually flash a boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is a guide somewhere in the general section about flashing ROMs with S-ON, read and follow the instructions

The type of stock ROM you can install depends on S-ON/S-OFF status, CID and Model ID. you have Sensation XE - Model ID of PG5831001 (I think) so you can only install RUU_Pyramid_LE_ stock RUU's
Then you have S-ON so you can only install the same or higher RUU version as what you are on (to check use fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and look for mainversion in the output) eg if mainversion = 3.33.401.106 then you can only install the 3.33.401.106 or higher RUU.
Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)

It was like, this update cannot be installed on your phone. My phone was not connected in bootloader mod when I tried, also I have installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 rom on my phone.
BUT AS OF now, I have installed your DarkForest rom and it's working fine. SO I would like to explore the same.
In future if I want to get back to stock rom, then I will get guidance from you.

Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
and your HBOOT will be upgraded to the latest one...

yep, i'm 100% sure that this will update the firmware and of course the HBOOT... anyway you need to lock the bootloader and after the process start again the rooting stuff

but what kind of firmware can be used?
i assume not the one from kohr-ah's thread
the one that it is including in the ruu.exe?(just extract it and done?)

to put it in simpler terms
firmware upgrade is possible if the official firmware for that device (based on cid,modelid and version-main) is available (can be extracted from RUU/OTA) even if the device is SON

Hey,
few days ago i got a random reboot on my phone and after that nothing worked ... i found out that my phone is bricked :S
but happily there is an unblock Project here on XDA and it worked for me.
My phone now run the stock 4.0.3 ICS version from HTC.
When i now try to root my Sensation i got the message from control bear that my device is already s-off, but all other apps&programms which need root doesn't work.
I already followed the S-on guide but it didn't help me.
Have some of u maybe an idea how i can get back my root access ?
thanks
Moritz

maybe 4ext doesn't work because the bootloader is s-on ?

when you are trying to flash 4ext does your hboot screen says fastboot usb?
do you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings?
try to flash another recovery and see if you have access
yeah it is fastboot usb and debugging is for sure on otherwise adb wouldnt recognize my phone ^^
i tried now to flash cwm with image and with rom manager but both didn't work

Use a ruu.exe to return to stock
Relock first the bootloader
After ruu installation unlock bootloader again and flash 4ext
See then if you have access

very strange
it is impossible after ruu and after recovery's installation that you still can't enter to recovery
are you sure you are doing everything correctly?(about recovery)
i am out of ideas right now
edit : previously i think i gave the command in the wrong way
put the recovery.img in your adb and fastboot folder and then do this command
fastboot reboot recovery.img or fastboot reboot recovery recovery.img (i don't remember exactly)
yeah im sure that i do everything right, is it maybe possible that with the unbrick guide i damage something

Are you supercid?
Change the CID to the one which matches the ruu you flashed and try
