Hi,
After running with revolutionary and my rooted stock rom 1.47.401.4, I got yesterday a new OTA with 2.10.401.4 (2.3.5 and sense 3).
When trying to install it, it failed (blue android with big "!" on my screen)
First I downgraded my hboot back to 0.98.0000, but than I did something stupid .
I flash my hboot to the one provided with the OTA 2.00.0002, incl radio and all other stuff from the firmware.zip.
Now I ended up with a *** LOCKED *** HBOOT 2.00.0002, but also a 1.47.401.4 rom with android.
I tried to use the RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe from windows, but that fails as the hboot has the incorrect version.
THe other thing I could do is go back to a 0.98 HBOOT, but that doesn't work either. the rom is ***LOCKED***, I have no root and it's S-ON.
I also searched for an RUU_Sage_HTC_Europe_*2.10.401.4*.exe as that might work because the HBOOT has the right version, but I could not find anything like that
Does anyone have an idea how I can go forward or how to go back ??
My phone is alive again as used the recovery.img procedure below and installed Saga3D 3.0. After that, I tried also the RUU installation to fully go back to stock, but that doesn't work. It complains about a security failure in hboot screen. I locked it back with 'fastboot oem lock', but that doesn't make the RUU work either.

did u try that or u think that wont work?
Before I updated to 2.00.0002, I created a dd-backup on the sdcard for the 0.98.000
when I however use adb to connect, I don't see how I can restore that back without root. I also didn't see the sdcard mounted
I was also thinking ....
Would it maybe also be possible to create a PG88IMG.zip with all the right software for 1.47.401.4 ? and restore that via recovery ? would the current hboot allow a downgrade ?
Today I was able to get the **LOCKED*** off to UNLOCKED via htcdev.com
In the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299438
I found this (identical to my problem)
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.
I don't unserstand what I have to do next. ADB does not work anymore, and only fastboot is available. I downloaded an EXT4 recovery (4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_saga.zip) which have me an recovery.img and a META-INF folder.
When I name the zip image update.zip, and run
C:\android>fastboot.exe update update.zip
it fails with ...
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
How to I proceed to get it working ?
BTW, HBOOT is UNLOCKED but still S-ON
Please help
you already update hboot right. try this
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

You can RUU with that correct version or follow my instructions to achieve custom recovery/rom since you are already "unlocked":
Skanob said:
You should be able to change your recovery without any problem if your s-off or unlocked 2.xx.xx hboot s-on.
1. Get 4ext recovery.img
2. connect phone on fastboot
3. In cmd use these command to push the recovery image:
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery.img (<- should be directory of 4ext recovery image)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should have 4ext recovery.

Hello, i'm sorry for my bad english, I'm french and I'm a little lost with my new phone, I've upgraded my Htc Sensation Hboot 1.17.011 to Hboot 1.23, but I want to restaure to 1.17.0011...It is possible to do that? Where can I found that firmware?
Hope you will understand my question, if you can give me a little help please, and I'm very sorry for my english but I think it's better than the google trad...
thank you everyone
If you want to stay on a 4.0.3 rom, you cannot downgrade to 1.17 as they won't boot without it.
But in the dev section, in the partition info thread, there is an boot flash able version of the 1.17 hboot somewhere in it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Thanks, I just want to install the Elegancia Rom but when I tried the boot bug and stop at the boot animation, you said in the dev section, in the partition info thread...is that one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 ? and what I've to download please?
thanks
So you upgraded your firmware to 3.12, no? You need that to run any ICS Rom. Why do you need hboot 1.17? You still can flash Roms whith hboot 1.23 as long as you are s-off and supercid. Anyway, you can find hboot 1.17 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20681060&postcount=22
Cheers

@ar4l, thanks, and yes I can flash but when I reboot my phone it freeze at the boot animation, it's the 3.12 firmware but Elegancia is not an ICS rom isn't it?
There are two versions of elegantia, one on GB and oneon ICS 4.0.3.
The second one requires the new 3.12 firmware with Hboot 1.23, the first one can run with both.
You really don't need to downgrade. If you have the boot bug is because you probably didn't flash the Firmware 3.12.401.2 following the correct procedure, First you should SUPERCID (step 4), reinstall 3.12.401.2 firmware from the thread you mentioned, reinstall whichever rom you want.
In alternative, if you don't want to SuperCID, you can follow mike1986's instructions to manually add your CID and MID to the firmware package:
1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid
2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.
2b. If your CID or MID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)
2c. Open PG58IMG.zip (don't extract it)
2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor
2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive
3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card
4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button
5. Follow instructions on the screen

[ Guide ] for installing Both Custom / Stock Recovery / SU ( Downloads and Methods )
How htc dev unlock method Works
first of all , i don't like this method ( htc dev unlock method ) because it is tricky
this method unlocks some options for Bootloader ( Not All of them ) . htc dev site as i recall says unlocking your bootloader may or could void your warranty !!
the Boot.img and Bootloader are still locked , and of course the Radio area is still locked ( it is not the radio we flash to improve signal )
locked means those areas can not be over-written
it allows you to install Custom Roms , But what htc maybe forgot to tell you is that the custom rom should be using their htc Stock kernel in order to work without errors !!!!!!! . ( Otherwise for Roms with custom kernels , you have to install Custom Kernels in a certain Method to avoid errors like WiFi error !!!! )
this certain Method is to flash locked items ( like Boot.img that includes custom Kernel ) through fastboot ( i.e bootloader )
[FONT="][ Update ] [/FONT]This Post is chosen by XDA Portal Here
S-ON
htc dev unlock method does not give S-off , it only unlocks some options for Bootloader . so ,what you saw ( Unlocked and S-on ) is normal for htc method
Some mistakenly think that htc dev unlock method is the same as Revolutionary S-OFF , AND IT IS NOT
DISCLAIMER
Verify with HTC and your Carrier that you are legally Allowed to use any Method in this Post Before using it ,
and Don't use it if you are not legally allowed to
I am not responsible if following this Method results in bricking your phone

Wrongly done S-ON with Security Warning - Downgrade New S-ON Devices Firmware For Revolutionary S-OFF
you have to verify with htc or your carrier if you are allowed to use this method
htc dev method is used to solve this Problem , this method is the only known working solution for that Brick problem till now
Revolutionary will not work with the New Firmware that comes with some New Devices or Devices that accepted the OTA update
Also this Method is implemented through using htc dev method to Downgrade that New Firmware and Successfully Get Revolutionary S-OFF

See post # 2 in my other thread here , for how to install any ICS custom Rom while you are S-ON with hboot 1.27.0000
WiFi Error and Custom Roms
S-OFF devices will not have that WiFi error . the following is for members who used htc dev to unlock bootloader instead of doing Revolutionary S-OFF .
Unlock Bootloader using htc dev Unlock Method ( may or could void your warranty ) or Super tool or Check this Post in XDA Portal ( if it is legal to use them ) and ( use htc drivers v3.0.0.7 )
you can use a Custom Rom that uses a Custom Kernel ,and solve WiFi error ( while you still on htc dev unlock method , i.e NOT S-OFF ) by installing the Boot.img ( includes custom kernel ) bootloader
if the Custom rom uses the Exact same version of htc Stock Kernel ,you will not have WiFi Error
Wifi error is usually happens because of the kernel ( in your case it is because of kernel mismatch )
in htc Method the Boot.img is still locked , Note that the Boot.img includes the Kernel
the kernel is located inside Boot.img , and Also the kernel components ( when you install a rom ) are located in System \ lib \ modules . the Module Folder is a Kernel Folder . if there is a mismatch between kernel and kernel components you will have WiFi error
a sample case , the Boot.img is still the htc stock Boot.img ( i.e it includes the stock htc Kernel ) , and you installed a custom Rom that includes a custom Kernel
When the Custom rom is being installed it will not be able to replace htc Stock Boot.img ( i.e the Stock Kernel , because it is locked ) , But will be able to install kernel components System \ lib \ modules ( because it is Unlocked ) , and Here comes the kernel mismatch and the WiFi Error ( the Kernel is still the htc stock kernel , and the Kernel components are for a different custom Kernel )
How to flash Boot.img in Bootloader
Update there is now a new version of 4EXT recovery for S-ON devices v 1.0.0.5 , enable smart flashing in recovery \ tools and it will flash the boot.img by itself " read the restrictions for that method in 4EXT recovery thread "
Bootloader should be unlocked using htc dev or super tool or Check this Post in XDA Portal ( if it is legal to use them )
the phone should be in bootloader ( fastboot usb )
Put boot.img inside adb folder in same place your fastboot.exe
Start cmd as administrator and navigate to ADB Folder which includes fastboot.exe and type the command fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter
type the command fastboot reboot and press enter
Reboot , the device may reboot several times before reaching the home screen
this Procedure souled be done for each custom rom you install to avoid WiFi error or other errors

Update there is now a new version of 4EXT recovery for S-ON devices v 1.0.0.5 , enable smart flashing in recovery \ tools and it will flash the boot.img by itself " read the restrictions for that method in 4EXT recovery thread "
Bootloader should be unlocked using htc dev or super tool or Check this Post in XDA Portal ( if it is legal to use them )
the phone should be in bootloader ( fastboot usb )
Download recovery img for either CWM or 4EXT
Put recovery img ( recovery name.img ) inside ADB folder in same place your fastboot.exe ,
recovery name.img is the exact name for the downloaded recovery img that you put inside the ADB Folder
it is NOT PG58IMG.zip recovery
Start cmd as administrator and navigate to ADB Folder which includes fastboot.exe and type the command fastboot boot recovery name.img and press enter
your phone should now go to recovery screen ( loaded through fastboot )
install your custom rom as normal and reboot your phone , ( this will install the custom Rom and the Boot.img of the same Custom Rom in the same time )
Reboot , the device may reboot several times before reaching the home screen
if this method doesn't work , then go back to the original Method
Radio Flashing Problem
in htc dev unlock method , the Radio is also still locked and most probably htc dev will not allow you to flash a radio alone
and in case that htc dev shall allow it ( i doubt that ) , then theoretically !!!! :
you have to flash an official release Radio specific for your Sensation version ( Sensation , Sensation 4G , Sensation XE ) , htc method will only allow signed Radio specific for your device , and i guess ( not sure ) it will not allow you to flash a radio for a different Sensation device !!!
Example is ( not sure ) , ARHD ROM is Based on sensation XE and most probably their recommended Radio is a sensation XE Radio , if this radio is not officially assigned to your Device by htc , then i guess htc method will not allow that ( because i guess the option in bootloader is still locked )

I did S-OFF then htc dev unlock. There is any reason to return to locked htc dev ? I didn't S-ON. I have them both. I didn't notice any problem...
And by the way the file bcm4329.ko is the one which make wifi error.

revolutionary S-OFF have more feature and is Permanent for our Device , So this the best way to get S-OFF
you should not done htc dev after revolutionary S-off , just remove it ,and review you bootloader to make sure you are still S-off
some doesn't want to do revolutionary thinking that htc dev do the same ,and it is not
you said " I didn't notice any problem.....which make wifi error. " htc dev is the cuase of WiFi error if you get it as mentioned in the Post , ( in your case you will not have Wifi error because you are Revolutionary S-OFF which means your boot.img is Not locked )

I didn't notice any wifi error. I just say that mismatch kernel and system file made that. I'll try relock the htc dev now. Hope I won't mess anything...
Edit: I did lock the htc dev (fastboot oem lock). It still S-OFF and REVOLUTIONARY 1.27 HBOOT. That process didn't wipe data partition. I flashed few zips thru recovery touch and all went good.
Thanks for the post.

You will not have WiFi error because you are S-OFF with revolutionary ( i.e Your Boot.img is not Locked ) ,and your boot.img is replaced during custom rom installation
so , if you lock or unlock with htc dev will have no effect and even htc dev should be used while you are S-off Using Revolutionary ( meaningless )
What is the WiFi error that is stated here?
no connection at all for example. caused by the fact, that boot.img = kernel can't be changed / written. so for example flashing some other kernel like bricked or tiamat results in non-working w-lan because kernel (=original htc kernel) and wlan module (=bcm4329.ko from for example tiamat kernel) doesn't match.
I still can't get how to fix wi fi . Re install all system or what ?

extact the boot.img from the custom rom zip file ( if it is a multi device rom , choose the boot.img under devices\ { sensation }
install the custom rom as usual from recovery ,boot to bootloader ( fastboot usb )
then flash the boot.img from PC using adb , and the device should be in bootloader ( fastboot usb )

in post #9 to you " this method for members who are using htc dev to unlock the bootloader and they are not S-OFF "
S-off devices don't need this method , this problem occure for people who prefered to use htc dev method and did not do Revolutionary S-off
so you should not need to use this method and your WiFi should be fine after installing GB custom roms
if you have a Wifi problem , use Super wipe before installing your custom rom
is there a way i can flash an older verson of HBOOT 1.17 to my phone.

if you got it ( hboot 1.23 ) later on , then it seems that you installed ICS v4.0.1 ( firmware 3.12 ) and then made a wrong S-ON

for firmware hboot 1.17 , if you are super CID then go here

you do the following at your own risk ( ICS involves risk of brick for S-off devices , and certainly more risk for wrong S-on Devices )
use htc dev unlock , read my post " [FONT="][Guide] Successful S-OFF after bricked (wrong S-ON ) for ICS and GB ( Sensation ) [/FONT]here "
Note that htc dev i think don't allow Radio flash !!! and the ICS Firmware Includes Radio !!!!!!!
i think you can try 1.17 first may not work
if it could be done ( it is Just an idea only ???? ) , if not you can try to upgrade hboot to 1.27 ( unlocked and can be over-written ) according to proper procedure , then flashing a RUU for your device will over-write the hboot 1,27 with 1.18 ( Proved for S-off devices )
you can post question first at mike1986 ARHD firmware thread about upgrade hboot to 1.27 to make sure
Man you have me worried now I am S-OFF, did the 1.17 Revolutionary and later on the 3.12>3.24>3.25 firmware. After 3.12 I got the infamous Locked showing up so I proceeded to htcdev which then showed unlocked. Right now I have the latest Revolutionary:

HBOOT-1.27.11.00

I don't quite understand the WIFI issue? In my case I am unable to connect to office WIFI with every ICS ROM I have tried. Still have my DHD with CM7 and that works fine Open WIFI's work fine with ICS so I was assuming its just a beta feature. Am I wrong and my issue is firmware/boot.img related?
Lastly, thankyou for your post

Al salam Alaikom , first of all , if you are S-off using revolutionary you should not use htc dev , you should remove it
htc dev is for people that don't want to do S-off using Revolutionary , or those who think that htc dev is the same as Revolutionary S-off ( and it is NOT )
When you installed firmware 3.12 ( i.e Hboot 1.23 ) and it says Locked , you should not worry about that . it says that because fastboot write commands are disabled ( Locked ) in hboot 1.23 , but you are still S-off , same case was for old hboot 1.27
Now the good news is , almost from 10 days ago ( i think from Jan 28 ) Mike1986 has issued a new modified new Firmware 3.24 Unlocked for ICS 4.0.3 that has the Unlocked bootloader hboot 1.27 . So if your firmware 3.24 was the old one , better update it for the new unlocked Hboot 1.27
ICS has issues with wifi and also GPS , those are still test ICS Roms
if you are s-off using revolutionary , then you don't need to do that boot.img thing ( it is for who use htc dev only ) , and as long wifi starts with you without error that it can't start or stuck on Starting wifi , then you wifi is working and you don't have wifi error
when you install ICS ARHD 6.2.1 , During installation when you are prompted to choose speed ( 1.2 or 1.5 GHZ ) choose the stock 1.2 GHZ to avoid Wifi error ( i guess it is a kernel Problem ) , even Sensation XE also should choose that 1.2 GHZ but it will actually Run at 1.5 ( its stock speed )

you do what you do at your own risk and this is a trial and not guaranteed to be able to flash hboot 1.27 ,
tried to pm you and your PM is locked
what are those all steps ? i only linked you to read and understand more , not for doing steps
i asked you inthe previous Post about your Software version , to choose what to so ( steps) and you didn't answer
is the bootloader unlocked with htc dev ,
did you try the 1.17

Basically what i think ( it is just an idea in general for discussion only and could brick your device ) is :
it is like a Puzzle , Note that htc dev i think don't allow Radio flash !!! and the ICS Firmware Includes Radio !!!!!!! and you can't Play with that firmware it should be flashed with all of its content untouched and according to Procedure !!!!!! means htc dev may not allow Firmware to flash !!!!!!!!!
try 1.17 method
if not working , then unlock 1.23 with htc dev and install custom rom ICS 4.0.1 ( firmware 3.12 ) as the firmware you have now ( because your hboot is 1.23 ) and after rom installed and working try hboot 1.17 again , or maybe an RUU sense 3.5 or RUU ICS firmware 3.12 ( htc dev should be locked for RUU flash )
if 1.17 worked then install Sense 3 custom Rom ( not sense 3.5 ) or maybe an RUU ( htc dev should be locked for installing RUU )
if not working , then from a working ICS cutom rom 3.12 now , try upgrade the ICS to 3.24 unlocked , and if it is successful then Flash GB RUU suitable for your phone , this will over-write the Hboot to 1.18 ( proved working with s-off devices ) , then Revolutionary
if not working and you still on 1.23 with firmware 3.12 ( i am not sure of the following ) , if there is an RUU3.5 ( htc dev should be locked for RUU flash ) , then it would be compatible with the downgrade procedure of firmware ( 3.12 ) i guess except the s-off
to install custom roms using htc dev follow title " Custom Rom Flash " in my Post "[Guide] Successful S-OFF after bricked ( wrong S-ON ) for ICS and GB ( Sensation ) here "

you do what you do at your own risk and this is a trial and not guaranteed to be able to flash hboot 1.27 ,
tried to pm you and your PM is locked
what are those all steps ? i only linked you to read and understand more , not for doing steps
is the bootloader unlocked with htc dev ,
did you try the 1.17
Old not answered
if you got it ( hboot 1.23 ) later on , then it seems that you installed ICS v4.0.1 ( firmware 3.12 ) and then made a wrong S-ON
and your signature is showing ARHD v3.x or 4.x with a gingerbread Radio
So ,what exactly is you about phone showing now in Build Number

im sorry for not answering your questions properly.
Answers to previous question:
I installed Virtous Inquisition 3.0.0 which required the firmware and yes I made a wrong S-ON.
My signature is old and i will remove that because none of those details are of whats happening now.. sorry for that.
The current Hboot is 1.23.0000
Radio version is not displayed currently.
eMMC-boot
Dec 26 2011.
Current Questions:
My bootloader is unclocked with HTC Dev.
I tried the 1.17 and it still said "Parsing PG58IMG"
My current build number doesnt show up but as of this minute, i installed ARHD 6.2.1 so that i can try the unlocked 3.2.4 to see if it works..
it doesnt but says "Parsing PG58IMG" as well.
I will try to adress my PM to see whats wrong with it.
Thanks for your help. appreciate
Hi guys!
I have some problem with HTC Sensation. It boots only till HTC logo. And nothing more! On this device isn't OS.
Some guys said that I need to install RUU exe file through computer. I did it but received error 130 (need other version of RUU, I think).
So can you recommend something?
S-ON, hboot 1.18.000, radio 10.14.9035.02_02
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "On this device isn't OS".Do you mean you haven't install some custom OS on your device or it has no OS at all.If you have erase the OS the bootloop is something natural.
I did a google search for your radio version and according to this I found answers only on some german forums.So your cid (as long as you are s-on) should be possibly a German or a European one.
You can download the latest Europe version from here and give it a try.
You can find your cid number using fastboot.Just get into fastboot mode of your hboot and give the command fastboot getvar cid.
If your bootloader is HTCDEV unlocked give the commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that your hboot should say Relocked instead of Unlocked.Then install the RUU.
You could also give it S-OFF using this guide (Does not require HTCDEV unlock method):
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)
If you are S-ON you can use a RUU only with hboot 1.18 in your case
Read this topic to know all about RUU

Why exactly he should use an RUU with hboot 1.18?!
I know that the version of hboot can be upgraded normally but cannot be downgraded as long as you are S-ON.If you are S-OFF you can downgrade everything.Also if you want to install an older RUU and you are S-ON you have to use a gold card and you patch the version of the misc partition to an equal or lower one for the RUU you are going to use.
