OK, so I am trying to root and load a rom on my friends HTC Sensation. I used the toolkit, and unlocked the bootloader, and installed a custom recovery. (have had all 3 recoveries at this point).
The Bootloader shows
*** UNLOCKED ***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.000
eMMC-boot
I tried to then install Viper Rom, and it boot loops, I tried to install what I thought was a stock rom and it hangs on the white HTC screen for well over 20 minutes. I can't get s-off because it won't boot up.... i can't figure out how to upgrade firmware because I'm not s-off. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I am downloading an RUU, but literally have no idea if its the right one. my CID supposedly is T-MOB010.
Please point me in the right direction as to how to end up with Viper Rom on this phone.
Thanks.

Yes it will, RUU upgrade works with S-ON
@OP all you need to do is flash the Tmous RUU from here: http://htcruu.com/Pyramid/RUU_PYRAM...0U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed.exe
i will download and run... thanks so much. wish me luck....
i downloaded and ran the RUU but it said that it was the wrong one and failed.
tried an earlier RUU too, and they both fail. I am running them as administrators, and while the phone is in fastboot. It seems to act like its going to work, and go to a black HTC screen, but then it fails. error [155]

relock the bootloader then run the RUU
to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then connect the phone from fastboot to pc ..the phone should say FASTBOOT USB if connected properly
then run the RUU
EDIT - please close thread... I didn't realize I had to be bootloader locked. just on a whim locked it back up and it worked like a charm.
thanks for the help.

Hi,
My sensation is dead, again.
After I flashed a stock rom and made it S-On the device worked 'till I rebooted it.
Since the reboot - my device stuck in boot loop.
The rom that I flashed before I made it S-On was RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_.
My device is supercid 11111111.
The bootloader that came with the rom was locked so I unlocked it via htc dev site.
I have tried to flash stock rom once again but it failed.
Error details:
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR, The Rom Update Utility cannot update your Android phone, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I have tried flashing three different roms and I keep getting this error above.
I can only enter the HBOOT screen menu and connect the device via fastboot mode.
Please Help Me!

I have tried to flash a rom while the bootloader was unlocked and relocked, but nothing happend.
Hello,
I googled a little , and apparently the only solution is to install the original ROM that came with your phone (good luck finding that) , you can always try to contact your carrier and ask them. I read some different suggestions , but that one was the only one with happy endding.
Good luck , and may the force be with you

Wouldn't this just be one of the stock RUU that is posted in the DEV section?
OP, hope over to the Dev section and one of the Stickies has all of the RUU's for the Sensation and a Guide for flashing the RUU to go back to S-ON and back to Stock.

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.

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

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?

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.

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..
Hello Everybody,
I have a problem I can't figure out.
I have had my phone rooted and S-off and have had many custom roms. I wanted to go back to stock and followed the procedure, but the RUU 1.29 won't flash because I am on image 1.74 with HBOOT 1.20 I also now lost S-off so I can't flash another Radio.. There is how my fastboot screen looks

Thank you I will try that.
I tried the RUU recovery and it didn't trigger or do anything, I followed all instructions.. The FASTBOOT still says Update Failed and Security failed or something like that. I also tried flashing the update in bootloader by extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and no luck.
I have a custom 2.3.4 rom runing fine but my WIFI doesn't turn on, it just says Error. I really need to get this back to stock so I can warranty this phone if the WIFI doesn't come back.
Any more ideas everyone?

Just reflash your unlock code from HTC dev install twrp then flash away
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Don't panic, this should be an easy fix.
Once you relock, you have to run a ruu or unlock again. But you're trying to run a ruu for older firmware, which is why it's failing.
Just push the unlock token again, and you should be able to boot to recovery. If not, push the recovery image again. I don't recommend CWM, even though it's been ported to this phone. That version of TWRP should work, just confirm that you've got the Evita version.
OK i have unlocked again and re pushed recovery TWRP 2.4.1.0
But I still cant boot into the recovery option..

I believe through adv but is way simpler to do it through recovery. Try a earlier version of twrp

did you verify you are unlocked now, or did you just assume since you pushed the token again?
Also, are you certain you're using the right version of TWRP and not one for another phone (like the endeavour/Tegra One X)?

2) assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")
3) error executing updater binary in zip
Please advise. Thank you for your time.
Note: the device is locked to Rogers. It is currently in bootloop. I do not know what I did but before installing TWRP, the device went in bootloop after unlocking bootloader and it would simply not start. Although, as mentioned I can successfully boot into the recovery and mount the sdcard from there to transfer files to the phone.

Why are you relocked?
Unlock again and update TWRP, then try to flash a ROM again. What ROM(s) are you trying to flash.
Be aware that since you are s-off, you will need to extract boot.img from the ROM you are trying to flash, and manually flash with fastboot. You will need to do this every time you flash a ROM, unless you get s-off.
Also, I don't know why you posted to this old thread. Aside from the OP also having the Rogers version, it has nothing to do with your issue. Should have started your own thread.
I'll just clarify that when Redpoint said you need to update TWRP you should update it to TWRP 2.6, your current version (2.5) is very buggy. Also, he means since you are s-on you need to flash the boot.img, when you get s-off this will no longer be required.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443
So i have an older SENSATION, and i have it working fine with CM10.2 and everything, but my microphone wont work, so I bought a new one, and i tried to do the same steps but it is not working.
I have been able to unlock bootloader. COMFIRMED, i locked it and unlocked it just to make sure.
It has on bootloader showing.
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
eMMC-boot
Aug 2, 2011,22:35:52
I would like to S-OFF, and get it running like my other phone, if anyone can help me, I would be willing to donate the other phone, shipping paid, to the person of your choice ( Do note the phone has a problem with mic, where the volume is low, its probably dirty, but im too scared to try to take it apart, and would rather it be put to good use.)
EDIT: Got it past the white HTC screen for now, dont know why this time it is so difficult...
it boots HTC in green letters, then the HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT, and lastly TMOBILE stick togeter, and then it reboots. I flashed it with 4EXT Recovery Touch in SMART MODE, but idk if it matters if im S-OFF or S-ON or what I am suppose to boot..

If you are trying with an ics or jb rom it won't boot because you are still on gb firmware
Use revolutionary.io method to s-off
After s-off flash universal firmware 3.33
But before flashing check md5 sums it is important
Then you can flash and boot any ics or jb rom

Depending from your hboot version you were still on gb firmware
And still you are after ruu installation
So go ahead for s-off by revolutionary.io method

follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after firmware upgrade you have to flash from recovery an ics or jb rom
because your current rom won't boot with ics firmware
