TC Inspire 4g Unbricking Guide
In this guide I will be showing you how to unbrick the HTC Inspire 4g for AT&T.
Requirements:
1. Your bricked phone (of-course)
2. HTC-Sync
3. USB Cable
4. HTC Inspire 4g Gingerbread RUU
5. S-ON
Steps:
1. Download HTC-Sync from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe
2. Download HTC Inspire Gingerbread RUU from: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
3. Install HTC-Sync
4. Boot into Bootloader mode and plug your phone into your pc
5. Run the RUU executable
6. It will take a moment to start, but when it does, go through the steps and it should start to flash the firmware
7. (Optional) Sometimes the process will freeze. It is ok though, open task manager, close the process, unplug your phone, pull the battery, and start over the process until you get it to work. (It worked first time for me.)
Then your phone should restart after it finishes flashing. Then your phone will be unbricked!
Thank you for looking and I hope this helps you in some way!

You just need to flash a ROM. Doesnt matter how you do it, just do it.

flashing the rom is the problem. it wouldnt let me into the recovery. the steps above actually help. now i just need to root the thing
I notice the bootlaoder step is vague. It needs to be in fastboot. So select fastboot from hboot so that you see fastboot USB on screen then run ruu.

Your sdcard is corrupted and won't work as a goldcard. Get a NEW one or one that has not been improper dismounted. By the way, if you phone were bricked then you would have nothing to do. You just got stuck.
Get the new sdcard and then flash the PD98IMG.zip file that the Hack Kit downloaded (it is in the PD98IMG folder and it is usually called PD98IMG-GBx.zip, being x a number. Of course make sure that you rename it PD98IMG.zip once in the sdcard).
Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

Not with the same card, as far as I know. You need to get a new one. The card tends to get corrupted when it's improperly unmounted.

Recently tried to return to stock RUU via ace advanced hack kit. During the return to stock there was an error and my phone attempted to reboot. I currently can't get past the htc boot up screen. It powers on, shows htc screen, then fades to black. Attempted to hold power and vol button with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to bypass this? Can't get my pc to recognize my device so not really sure if I can push a new rom to it or not.
Thanks,

I have a hunch that you may have messed your bootloader. Wait for tomorrow and hope glevitan shows up to verify/denounce my hunch and help you out.

You can flash this PD98IMG. It will take a long time to react to stuff though so you will have to be patient. It's the inspire gingerbread hboot.

After that use this PD98IMG to install the gingerbread Rom. You will still be s off but on 2.47.502.7.

Well, you failed to read and follow the manual and besides you even flashed a froyo Ruu when you are told not to so?
conclusion: messed bootloader. You will have to fix it yourself. I decided not to help lazy people anymore. What first happened to you was Normal and detailed in the effen manual. If you had read it you would be enjoying your phone now.

A lot of you have been asking for how to unroot the EVO, either because you're having problems and want to start over or you are returning your phone and need to have it unrooted. I've had nothing but trouble in the past trying to unroot using other methods, especially using the RUU on a PC. It always fails for me. Well here is the most simple guide to unroot!! Thanks to regaw for helping me with this, hosting, and the Unrevoked team for the S-ON tool!
HOW TO UNROOT THE EVO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH
How to Unroot the HTC EVO 4G
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
Unrevoked S-On Tool
PC36IMG
◄●SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you're comfortable with everything Android related(flashing, recovery, etc.) then its just 2 simple steps:
If you used Unrevoked Forever at any time, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip from recovery until hboot shows S-ON
Flash the PC36IMG.zip from hboot
◄●DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS●►
If you need a little more guidance, follow these instructions.
◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Make sure you have downloaded the files linked above. Do not extract them
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and change to "Disk Drive" by dragging down from the notification bar.
If you have NOT used Unrevoked Forever, skip to the instructions below. If you have, transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the root of your sdcard. Do NOT transfer the PC36IMG yet. It'll only cause a hassle and make this take longer.
Once complete, power off the phone
reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Depending on what recovery you're using, you need to flash a zip. Select the unrevoked-foreverson.zip that you just transferred and complete the flash.
When complete, power off the phone. Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. If it says S-ON at the top, select RECOVERY and skip to step 9. If it says S-OFF, repeat steps 5-7 Until it does.
◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●►
Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY.
Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard.
EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery
Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen.
It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES
Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot.
You are now unrooted!
I do believe that says ◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●► twice....
yeah it should say if you have NEVER used unrevoked
what about Amon Ra 1.8 it says S-OFF at the top of the screen? is that just for bootloader?

S-Off means unrevoked forever has been run. You will need to do the first part, to restore S-On.
Good, simple guide. One additional step if you've rooted via SimpleRoot is that you have to try and get back to the 1.40 PRI, which can be tedious. That might be worth mentioning.

Not quite. The previous post was correct. Its just the bootloader. Toasts root has an eng spl and will show s off. This is just the bootloader and will be flashed over. Unrevoked sets s off lower and is not flashed over.

Hey, so i did all the steps and since i ran Unrevokedforever i used the unrevokedson.zip and the s-on came on, but im a little unsure if the unrevokedforever properly took in the first place. Aside from that once i did all the steps and the pc.img was recognized, after it was complete it never asked if i wanted to apply the update it just went back to the hboot screen and nothing after that..... please help

You could get a MicroSDHC adapter and transfer the files from your PC directly to your card. Sorry if that's not particularly helpful. :/

So, I used Toast's method for rooting and have the eng hboot... I'm looking to get back to complete stock so I can play with Unrevoked 3.2... Just to verify before I proceed, will this pc36img.zip take me back to the release version of hboot as well as stock 2.1?
(I have some testing I need to do on my evo before I root my boss', gf, and other buddy's phones... I don't want them to lose their 1.40 PRI... I'm still stuck at 1.34 unfortunately, hence the reason I just want to get back to stock hboot and do all the testing from my phone...)

I used toast's method as well as unrevoked forever. It would be nice to know if this would work.
Unlike you, I tested the new unrevoked method on a few friends evo's without a single prob.
I would like to start over, unroot, get 1.4 pri and be done with it till the next big thing comes along.

Hi,
Which android version will this PC36IMG.zip go back to? Stock 2.1 or Stock 2.2? Thanks.
Best part about this (and i dont know if it will work for everyone) is that once I did this I then did a hard reset (##786# method) and it updated the pri to 1.4
Good news! It worked!
I had used simple root and had the the eng hboot.
DId the 2 simple steps and now am back to stock 2.2 as if I never rooted my phone. Now that I know it works.... back to root I go.
P.s I have 1.4 pri now too.
Thanks!

I bet you have s-on but it says s-off. Confusing right? Well, if you used simple root and have the engineering bootloader it will still say s-off even after running unrevoked-forever-son. Run it a few times just to make sure then do part two.
Well, that's what I did and ONLY after part 2 did I get s-on.
Hello! Can someone please help me? I think I softbricked my Inspire. It will boot (hboot) to the white screen with the 3 little androids at the bottom. When I pull the battery out and hold down the down button and power it loads into hboot but I can't go up or down to go into recovery mode or etc. It will load the PD98IMG.ZIP but after then it goes to the next screen where the other stuff at to load before I can reboot, for ex. splash 1 splash 2 and all the other stuff, but it doesn't load or anything. Oh yeah my phone is s-off . Please help me get my phone back working so I can put this new rom on there. I haven't had this problem before until now. Thanks a lot!

There has been sooo many threads based on this its not funny, did you even try to search? I don't understand why there is a distinction between soft and hard bricks. A brick is a brick, if you can boot into HBOOT the word brick should not be associated with your phone, soft or hard is reserved for ice scream.
What PD98IMG are you talking about? are you sure you grabbed the right PD98IMG rom file? If you have a SD reader delete the PD98IMG you have on there now and follow the link I provide. They will give you stock ROMs that either have been named PD98IMG that just have to be put onto the root of your inspire or you have to rename the file PD98IMG. Flash in HBOOT and reboot, install Rom Manger and then flash either CWR or 4ext or whatever tickles your fancy and boot into recovery and flash as normal. I have had the same problem you have had and these PD98IMG worked for me.

Ok. Did you have to make a goldcard or did you just put the zip on your sd and reboot it pressing down button and power down and it did the rest from there on its own?

::sigh::
Please, please, please, please, pleaseeeeeeee!!!! read and do your research. Take the time to educate yourself before you truly brick your phone. I can't even believe that you rooted your phone if you're asking me this kind of a question. I'll spoon feed this to you once, the goldcard is only used to downgrade and gain the exploit to root. I'm not 100% sure if the newest version still requires the downgrade but nonetheless after you've rooted the goldcard is useless, you don't need it. Again, please search! the issue you're having has been covered literally like 3 times this week in 3 different threads. I'll spoon feed it to you just this once, but please be aware this is a DEVELOPMENT SITE, and not I'm really lazy and can't search for my help site
Go to one of those threads I provided in the link. Download the RUU file. If it's already named PD98IMG.zip, simply place it on your SDcard (I'm guessing in your case it's still your goldcard which is your SDcard). If it is not exactly named "PD98IMG.zip" rename the downloaded RUU to "PD98IMG.zip" exactly like that and place in on your SDcard (GOLDCARD). From there press the volume up and and power at the same time to boot into HBOOT. Once in Hboot, hit the power button and follow the commands. HBOOT will scan for that PD98IMG.zip file, flash it and you will have a working stock rooted ROM to start all over. If you have another PD98IMG.zip file other then the one downloaded from the provided link, delete it. If your phone isn't being recongized by your computer, you'll need a SDcard reader to delete and add zip files to your SDcard. All of this could have been found by searching. Don't be lazy, help us help you by helping yourself to the search button
Take out sd card. Boot into hboot. Scroll down to recovery but don't press. Put sd card back in and then enter recovery. Be sure to get rid if pd98img if you are going to boot into recovery through hboot.

Your problem is very simple. The pd98img that is on your sd card will not allow you to access the hboot menu. You have to remove the pd98img if you want to enter recovery via hboot. The process I told you will skip the pd98img check and let you select an option. You have to boot into hboot though without the sd card in your phone and then pop it back in once you are able to navigate through hboot menu.
If you have a card reader you can remove it that way. If you are able to boot into your rom then you can remove it that way too.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
@ Gizmoe ok, thanks! I've tried that and more methods still no luck. I still can't select anything with the pd98img.zip being off the sd card and I still can't select any when the sd card isn't in the phone at all. Sigh... When in hboot without sd card inserted in the phone I still can't scroll up or down at all, and the hboot and fastboot are highlighted in blue. Under fastboot it's recovery, factory reset, simlock, and image crc... I can't scroll down to none of them though. Any other method to try getting it into recovery? Thanks
Try backing up your sd card. Reformat sd card, and then put a Rom on card and then try hboot again.

Don't get butt hurt when you're openly being lazy on a development site. Don't get defensive when I tell you what you should be doing and still give you the advice you were looking for, whether or not it worked. I find it hilarious that people just like you think, "ooooh I see these threads even when I'm making this pointless one but I'm tired of reading...blah blah blah" If that's the attitude you have towards rooting and this development site in general, re-read the rules here at XDA. I'm not trying to be a jerk (regardless how you take it) but when you signed up to XDA you agreed to the terms and to adhere to rules of XDA.
The only other way to boot into recovery is through adb I think, I've never had to do it but I think there is a way to do it that way. You can always hit up Attn1's IRC chatroom, can't say they will be more receptive but they always seem to have someone in there that knows every trick.I wish I could provide more insight towards adb but I never had to or wanted to use it.

Can you boot into rom? If not how far does it get. You may be able to use adb from blanked screen. Also are you even able to navigate through hboot menu or is it just frozen?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
No, far as I get is to the screen where it is hboot, fastboot, recovery, and etc. I can't scroll to none of them, so it's like it's frozen. I tried putting a custom rom on sd card after I formatted it, even tried different sd cards and still the same thing. So I'm stuck on the screen with the 3 little androids on the skateboard. I stayed up till 6 dis morning searching and trying different stuff, but still can't get past that screen. when I try plugging the phone up to the pc the phone screen is black and I can't do anything, but when I unplug it it'll boot into hboot. I have a card reader btw if that helps anything. Thanks!
Download this and put on root of sd card and boot into hboot. It may let you select yes after parsing a file

Well I've been having this problem for a while, my phone goes into a bootloop whenever I restart it. It shows the white HTC screen, goes black, then the white HTC screen...over and over again.
The only way I have found to get it to boot up normally is when I connect a USB cable to it
But if I remove the cable and reboot, I get the same problem again.
Any ideas? Has anyone had this happen before??
That may be a Hardware issue. They easiest way I can think of is to RUU back to Stock, and Reformat the SD Card. If it still does it, then it may be a Hardware related issue.

I've had that happen a couple times but it was because it was something I did/flashed, I agree with prboy, ruu back and format memory card (save your stuff to the computer first)- I've forgotten to save first a couple times

That may be a Hardware issue. They easiest way I can think of is to RUU back to Stock, and Reformat the SD Card. If it still does it, then it may be a Hardware related issue.

I'll definitely try that, I don't know if this shed anymore light on it but my sdcard doesn't mount through my phone anymore either...happened around the same time as the restarting thing
But I'll tr and see what happens, if not I'll just take it in to sprint, I know it can't be something I flashed, I've been on stock for a while because of my utility

I would start by Formatting the SD Card. Then if that doesn't resolve issue. Format the SD Card again, and then RUU. If at that point the issue is still present, it's time to take it in to Sprint. Out of curiosity, are you using a custom Kernel ? Reason I ask is that I've run across something slightly similar after Flashing an Experimental Kernel Dirty. Meaning I did not wipe Cache, or Dalvik before Flashing. Mind you this was a very long time ago, in my HERO days. But I seem to remember it acting sort of like the symptoms you described.

Nope, no custom anything. 100% stock 2.2 with temproot, but since I can't reboot its really permroot lol

Then I would defiantly try what I stated above. See if it can resolve the issue.

Getting the same issues. I've tried ruu through both the exe and pg06 img. Tried factory reset with no luck, in the stock recovery ive wiped everything with no luck also. It's read by fastboot and i can issue commands, flashing through fastboot just gives me a sig verification failure. I've tried every method i've found and none have worked. Happened after downgrading to 2.2. I got temproot and went to permroot to go into this. I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and it was successful. I cant access my sdcard since flashing the 2.2 ruu reverted it to stock and i cant get into the system to disk drive it. It boots for about 3 seconds then reboots. If any of the mmcblk... commands were mistyped or something was done wrong, how would i go about checking or fixing them if thats even possible? Any help or leads would be amazing.

I had temp root and in between gaining perm root this happened. Root does me no good if I'm boot looped and can't even adb. I'm trying to get the phone to boot. Or read through adb. I can't fast boot any of the partitions either so I'm basically stuck in limbo

Have you tried booting it up while connected to a USB cord? That works for me because my phone will otherwise go into a bootloop whenever I restart it

Must have missed that somehow. My bad . But on to the issue at hand. I'm wondering if maybe your SD Card went wonky. I would remove the SD Card, format it. Load the PG06IMG back onto the Card, reinstall. Then try to flash it. Of course backup your card to the PC first.

Tried this with same result. flashing through hboot works for the 2.2 ruu, but im still stuck in the bootloop.
I also tried flashing a custom recovery via hboot, but the pgo6img loads then doesnt ask me if i want to update or not. I have literally no idea where to go or what to check.

I was just about to say that, if the name of the file isn't correct, the bootloader won't pick it up.
Yeah i know, i was just too lazy to type it out. I know what im doing as far as general modding and flashing, and I actually managed to fix it. I'm not positive how but I used the unroot back to stock guide for the stock locked bootloader. After flashing it through hboot I tried the 2.3.4 RUU. Still bootlooped but I was at stock with locked bootloader. I then used htcdev to reunlock the bootloader and I was then able to flash partitions through fastboot. I flashed cwm and was able to adb through it. I basically just reran through the rooting phase and gained temproot. From here I redid the steps to engineer hboot and finally received s-off. After this it booted normally. I might be leaving steps out but if anyone needs specifics, just pm me and maybe I can figure it out again for you.

I'm sure I haven't bricked this phone, because in the process of rooting it, it will eventually say it's S-OFF. But after getting to that point, I can choose Recovery in CWM and when it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, after about 4 seconds, it will fade to black. This has happened to 2 phones I've rooted. Luckily mine worked like a charm, but after the last 2...I'm afraid to root another one. Does this sound like a bad memory card, or maybe it's not a gold card? I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so maybe someone here at XDA has experienced this problem and has an answer.
TIA

I quite don't get that....you can choose recovery in CWM?? what does that is supposed to mean? CWM is a custom recovery. I guess that you are probably refering to hboot. Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Yes, I guess I did mean hboot. In the process of Recovery is when it will fail and there is a ROM loaded for it to recover from on the SD card. Is it possibly because it is looking for the clockworkmod/backup folder and there is not one? I just realized that maybe I can copy a backup from my phone (we have the same exact phone) and place in there if it's possible. I don't have access to the phone now, as it is a friends. Also, if it fades out at the white HTC logo and just gets hung up, there is no way to re-run the Hack Kit is there?
Thanks for the help glevitan, as you've helped me before and I HAVE downloaded your Ultimate Hack Guide and keep it on my phone for reference.

Just a question, are you sure that the phone is S-OFF? or has an unlocked bootlaoder? In either way you can flash recovery again from fastboot and then a custom rom again.
If you need help, I can lend you a hand via teamviewer..just let me know. :good:

ok. Good luck!
Ok glevitan, I believe the problem might be in the PD98IMG.zip that's on the root of my SD card. I noticed when the phone booted into hboot, it would display that the image file was wrong, or something to that effect and then would force an update, which would load the HTC spashscreen and then ultimately fade out. I figured it had a bad PD98IMG.zip file, so I found the original aahk-13012012.zip and extracted the PD98IMG.zip from there and overwrote the one in the root. It didn't work. A different story...I noticed on my Inspire 4G (working correctly, but hboot had same error, even though I could load recovery from there) that it wasn't finding the correct image either. I copied over the PD98IMG.zip onto my phone and now both phones are now fading out on the HTC splashscreen after about 4 seconds. This tells me that it's in the SD card, right? If so, any suggestions? Both phones were rooted using this version of aahk.
Edit: Also, with this new PD98IMG.zip image, hboot will go into the process of parsing for
[1] boot
[2] recovery
[3] radio_v2
Once this is done, I push Power to reboot and that's when I get the failure in the HTC splashscreen.
Edit: I noticed in the PD98IMG.zip there was no md5 file, so I stuck one in there and got my phone working (which is not the one with the original issue started in this thread) and was able to restore a nandroid backup. I put this same SD card in the original damaged phone and it didn't restore like mine did. I still think it's an SD card issue causing the HTC splashscreen fadeout, but don't know where to go know.
Also, my PD98IMG.zip only has a recovery.img and a recovery.md5 file in it. I noticed that the original aahk PD98IMG.zip has those along with a boot.img and a radio.img. Should those be in the PD98IMG.zip? I know this post was edited twice and is very jumbled, so if you can make sense of it and offer solutions, much obliged.

Ok, I quite don't get much...sorry, but that version of the Hack Kit is old, so use the lastest one: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
But again, I don't still get if the phone is S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF there is no need to do all that process. Even, you can flash a RUU without using the PD98IMG way if you suspect that the sdcard is messed.
You can flash it over fastboot.... Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

I was having a similar problem, I'm not too sure if it relates to what your experiencing. But I was trying to gain s-off my hboot was in fact unlocked but was still s-on. I was reading around and flashed a few boot.img with fast boot. I had that problem where htc screen would show then fade to black, and then stay black.
What I did was (I had installed recovery pretty early on) I did a factory reset in recovery then went to restore. Prior to this thank god I had transfered my nandroids to the pc b4 flashing new boot.img(s) then flashed the boot.img from the nandroid I just restored. All was well back into stock. I then found the insecure boot.img to use for aahk, flashed that in fastboot and relocked hboot. Reran aahk in linux. Got me to S-OFF with unlock.
If you need a fairly stock nandroid I can provide one.

glevitan, you're awesome. I restored the phone by running the RUU executable and reran the aahk and am now fully rooted. Both times I got the black screen on this phone previously was on the same PC, but this time I ran aahk on my PC and it ran correctly. I sincerely appreciate your help in helping me to achieve root for this phone. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.
Can you or anyone do step by step on how too root the HTC inspire? From step one an not for get anything even if its an hour long video? Anything would help. I'm new with the HTC inspire. It seems that I can't root it at all. I'm not saying I can't root phones I rooted a lot.

What have you tried? AAHK is the only real option. There is a very clear guide over at the Ace Think Tank post #7, linked in my signature.

Besides what bananagranola said, you need to know that video tutorials suck. They skip important details and that, will probably get you stuck. Read the guide adviced, and the hack kit site (got the link in the Ace Think Tank Thread)...that is all you need to know.
I have tryed the Aahk. My problem is when it ask me to downgrade ruu an all that. All my phone dose when I run the aahk I push 1 an then it ask too downgrade so i put y then something about the ruu an I put y then it says pushing the 9 something file. ( sorry I'm not home on my computer ) so I'm not 100% on what it is saying. But then my phone boots to Hboot dose its thank. Then says bad image. I have done this a lot of times with the aahk.

Try using a different sdcard. If the RUU image is not being read, that is probably due to a bad sdcard. It is corrupted to work as a goldcard but fine for usual day use.
I have. I have had 4 of them now. Two 2 gigs one 36gig an one 8 gig. New I paid for them an a new USB cored fast data cable for the phone.

2gb is enough...don't use another cable but the oem one that came with the phone. Anyway, that seems to be a sdcard issue. Try with another one and then report back.

I've done alot of research and tried everything I could find to get my phone to boot into even recovery but nothing's worked.
I've unlocked the phone using the HTC-dev method. I've flashed 4EXT recovery but I still can't get into recovery.
Also when I use adb it says "Error: device not found"
I cannot boot my phone it will just sit at the HTC screen and won't go any further.
My device is S=on.
Can you get in bootloader? Take battery out and sdcard as well. Put battery, press volume down + power and what do you get on screen?

I cannot install an apk file because I cannot boot into my phone. I cannot boot into recovery so I'm trying to fix that and go from there. If you have any method for me to be able to boot into the phone that would be helpful to.

Yes I've done that, I can get into the bootloader and see if it's unlocked, s=on or off etc.
What firmware version you have? S-OFF? When you go into recovery, from bootloader what happens? Phone just restarts or...?
Use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276
If you don't have 3.33 firmware, flash it using that tool and following all steps carefully. Also, are you on Windows 8? Because I have Windows 8 and had troubles finding the phone on adb (showing "no devices"). After flashing latest firmware, flash 4ext recovery and try.

Hi,
Read post 3 of the link I gave you.
It is a PG58IMG.zip that you are using.
If you can get into bootloader,then,you can install that file.

Hi I am having the same problem with my htc sensation, if I unlock the phone it boots and 'freezes' on the boot screen and if I relock the phone it just keeps booting into boot loader. I have tried numerous stuff but to no avail. when the phone goes into the boot loader it says PG58IMG not found, I have downloaded the file onto my sd card but still it does not see it. I am wits end and am cosidering takeing the phone in to htc to try and get it sorted but would prefer to try and sort it out myself.
I have been told that my phone is 'bricked' and was referred to a website on how to unbrick it but the phone needs to be S-off and mine is S-on, please can somebody advise me on how to sort this problem out.

Hi,
The Sensation DOES have a sd card slot.
Remove the back,and look at the bottom on the right.
The drivers were for scanferr.

Did you really just unlock it? Or did you flash custom recovery and custom Rom too and now it stuck on HTC boot logo?
If you just unlocked it and it can't boot try to relock and use HTC latest ruu for your device
HTC Sensation xe
S-ON
Vipers 1.6.3
4ext recovery
turbo boost cache swap
Sultan Kernel r14.5

I know mate, but when I needed them I couldn't find them and I needed to use another PC I have with windows 7. Thanks anyway, could be useful to those mates there
About the people that have issues here. Are you all with unlocked bootloader and S-OFF? Also, whats your firmware version? You could try to follow the link I gave earlier. I used that and it worked for me.
Don't want to create another thread....
I flashed firmware 3.33 yesterday and the phone ran very well all day today however it has stopped booting now and even won't take me to the bootloader to access anything.
It happened just now after I took Titanium Backup and then tried to reboot into recovery to backup current ROM however it failed and instead landed me into the Bootloader which didn't allow me to go into Recovery.
The last thing I remember is that it was showing "Bootloader warning" overhead just below -Firmware-3.33- title on which I choose to turn it off.
After turning off, I tried switching it on but failed. Tried many times but nothing worked out. Waited and thought the phone might boot up after keeping phone and battery separated however no luck either.
Did I just bricked my device for no reason?
