There was no reason for you to root without first reading everything. Also there was no reason to root if your not good with phones or computers....just sayin. Please search.
I got your 10 char right here
Wow man best advice is the one given above. I searched for weeks for all issues before I tempted to root. Then days for the issues on custom ROMs. As well as radios. I dont bother with anything else but those. I would say get the rooted ATT ROM (PD98IMG) file, pull battery out of phone then put back, then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power button at same time. If phone goes to bootloader it will recognize the PD98IMG zip and load it. it will ask if you want to install, just hit volume up for yes and it will do its thing. I couldn't find the page for the ROM so I loaded mine to megaupload it includes the radio -26.10.04.03_M. If you find it in Development Section dont forget to THANK the developer, I TAKE NO CREDIT FO IT. Just place zip file in root of phone micro sd card (not in a folder). (I always use the gold card I made to root the phone). You may have to take card out of phone and use adapter to place zip in itthen put back into phone. AS ALWAYS ON HERE FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
AGAIN AS ADVICED ABOVE " RESEARCH" before anything.

If rooted use this method if not rooted try Lordpipa's method below.
PD98IMG is not a ROM, it's a radio file. Incorrectly telling him to flash this may brick his phone. Be sure you know what you're talking about before you post help.

He is talking about the s-on stock method. And yes he could do this and then try the hack kit. Then boot into recovery and flash cm7. Maybe it was a bad flash. But yes he should search, for the above info, but remember this is q/a. We were all noobs, and still have lots to learn.

Just a fyi...a PD98ING file is not always a radio file. Naming a file that's tells hboot to flash that file.
Splash screen downloads are named that as well. But back to what I said before. Please search.

Dude the PD98 zip file I put up is Pooles rooted ATT ROM with the .03 Radio. I know what I uploaded on here. So when I put something on here I know what Im putting up. I would not tell someone to flash something I dont know what it is. So please as adviced here SEARCH-SEARCH-SEARCH as I did.
Sorry, my bad. I didn't read your post thoroughly, plus I had radio files on the brain.

No problem
I had ended up using the all in one HTC One S root utility that was linked in the fourms. After following all the steps that where listed (While following the youtube guide) My phone when on bootloader will show ****Unlocked**** across the top but s=off any ideas on why that is? I havent quite been able to figure it out im just looking for more information so when I get home I can have at it again :/ just find it odd that given the steps and the fact I had done them all to the T im still having this issue. Any help would be great thanks for taking the time.
I assume this might be better fit for Q&A if your a mod i apologize if you could move it that would be great couldnt figure out how to delete the poist :/ "edit/delete" wont remove the post :/ sorry again
Well if you can post a photo of the boot loader screen that would help me in sorting out your issue.

Don't know what you are disappointed about. S-OFF stands for security being off. This may sound bad, but from a developer perspective, it's pretty good. If you have true S-OFF like you claim you do, you can flash ROMs, kernels, radios, etc... in a recovery with no issues at all; regardless of what hboot or custom recovery you have. Unlocked means that you can flash custom recoveries and such using fastboot, which is what you want. To sum it up, S-OFF is good; many devs are trying to get S-OFF, but NONE can figure it out. Just be happy about it.
Having this 'Unlocked' text is what you're going to get if you root/unlock the phone. No way to get around it. If you want to return to complete stock settings and re-lock, your best bet is to be on stock recovery and flash an RUU that corresponds to your network. You may also want to try 'fastboot oem lock'.

Facepalm. You do NOT have S-OFF, What the hell made you think you did. This is normal... Wow. You need to install a custom recovery to flash zips, by the way.
Hey easy on him, he was just mistaken. OP, do you need me to show you how to go back to stock?

Oh sweet jesus you're lucky as hell.
Never ever ever sell your phone, because you got your hands on a developer one or just a phone that slipped through the cracks, because you have full S-OFF.
You should be able to flash ROMs in recovery without going to fastboot to ever flash a kernel, if the ROM is set up for it.
You would do better to change thread title...

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.

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. I even tock the s-on off an on. Is there a way that someone can jump into my computer an do this?

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 will go buy one more. But I Dont thank its that. An why not use a fast data cored for my phone?

I was given an HTC Sensation by a friend of mine because the device wouldn't boot.
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?

Was running RootBox, s-off, etc, and everything was working. Suddenly phone froze and rebooted. But ever since it won't get past the htc startup screen. It just keeps rebooting from there. I've RUU'd back to stock but it still does the same thing. I flashed a recovery and rebooted to recovery from fastboot but it won't get to it. Any ideas?
EDIT: after RUU back to stock, bootloader still will say s-off, not sure if it changed that in the past

Redownload ruu, check md5 retry. If it doesn't work, seems hardware related. corrupt/damaged storage or something.
didn't work

What happened? did the RUU fail or go complete but no change to the phone?
same thing. RUU runs completely and succeeds. Reboots after the RUU, hangs at the HTC screen for ~10 sec, reboot, and repeat
lost

Sorry man, that's messed. It seems to me like internal storage is damaged. Needs a new board. Warranty?
