Hi, I have a rooted sensation XE and I wanted to upgrade firmware via Hboot but my power button does not select any of the options (it works normally when using the phone). I can scroll through with the options using the volume - (my volume + does not work anymore but it has never caused problems so I havent had it repaired) but when I hit the power button nothing happens.
I am rooted and S-off with revolutionary Hboot 1.27 with 4-ext and venom 1.63.
Also I can only access Hboot through 4-ext or from the phones reboot options, I cannot access it by taking out the battery and using the power & volume - combination all that happens is the HTC screen comes on, goes off, comes on... you get the idea!
My phone is working in every other way but I do like flashing roms and I am concerned that if I have a bad flash I wont have a Hboot to fall back to.
If you know how to use adb I'm pretty sure you can flash firmware using adb
If your confident using adb I can give you commands
And about being worried about not having hboot to land on adb can easily reboot into bootloader but I suggest getting buttons repaired.

I am happy using adb, but my main concern is fixing the boot loader, I have put a zip file on my sd card (pg58.zip) which the bootloader would normally find and use but it does not even look for it.

do you mean pg58img.zip?
rename it like this
The reason maybe that you are spelling or writing it incorrect make sure it is pg58img.zip like mentioned above and is not in any folder and on the root of the sd card

weird, bootloader (not fastboot) should always do a quick scan for the file if the SDcard is inserted, regardless the way it's spelled. but like mentioned you can flash the file with ADB or fastboot. you don't really need bootloader for that.
so your hboot started having issues after you updated it from 1.18/17 to 1.27? or did you start rooting it from 1.27? what firmware are you running now? since you're on hboot 1.27 I wonder why you want to update FW.
you can check FW with
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
if you want to flash FW make sure it's spelled correct like mentioned above. Also do md5 check. you can install different bootloader to see if it solves the problem. if not I'd say send it for repair...

Thank you for all of you replies. My FW Version is 3.32401.3, this all came to light besause I wanted to flash Android Revolution HD7.1 which specifically requires you to have FW 3.33.401.x, (they even went to the trouble of pointing it out in red letters!) This is when I discovered the problem with the bootloader. I have got PG58IMG.zip (sorry about typo earlier) on the root of the SD card and the bootloader is completely ignoring it. As someone stated even if the file is misspelled, corrupt or whatever it should still look for it which it doesn't.
I am sure I could get the firmware upgrade to work using ADB, but I would feel alot better if I could find a way to fix my bootloader so that I could access it without using 4ext or the rom itself and I could use it when I did get into it without needing ADB.
I am just worried because I have had the odd occassion where a flash has gone bad for whatever reason and I have got stuck in a bootloop and other things but I have always been able to fix it by directly into bootloader or recovery and reflashing. As things stand at the mo the only way of accessing either of these is through the reboot options on the phone.

I cannot honestly remember it was so long ago, I do remember the wire trick however...took me all evening!
I have just downloaded kgs1992's superutility and am going to try that now.
No when you boot into hboot it should say on top I remember having troubles at first and the I ran an ruu which gave me stock hboot and fixed pronvlems I had I was still s off afterwards so flashing a recovery was easy
Press thanks if I've helped you

Just to keep everyone updated, I haven't solved the problem yet. I installed an ruu which didn't help unfortunately and then I installed Venom again and ended up in a boot loop. KGS Utility has managed to get me to bootloader and recovery but I keep on ending up in a boot loop no matter what I do. Can anyone reccommend a rom that is reliable on first boot. I am not worried about how stable it is afterwards.
Change of plan, I installed another rom and this one does not bootloop, it just gets stuck and I cant seem to get access to the bootloader or recovery, any ideas?

bootloop or ROM's not booting mostly means your ROM and FW don't match.
what's your current hboot info and FW, and what kind of ROM are you trying to install?

I did, and in 4ext I formatted all partitions 3 times including the fat32 partition just to make double sure because I had a glitchy rom a while back and doing the format procedure more than once cured it.
Just to let everyone know I have a working rom again... i used adb with the phone turned off and through adb used the command "adb reboot recovery" this got me to recovery mode and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=super-wipe to update the firmware and reloaded my rom which has worked. I have a working phone now but I still only have fastboot and no hboot.

As far as I know, your hboot version cannot be 1.20 when you've "revolutionary s-off'ed" (is this correct?)

hboot 1.20 doesn't remove s-off, and hboot 1.20 can't be s-offed
RCMix ICE v1.1 doesn't have hboot 1.20 so you have obviously flashed a RUU or the new firmware did you install busybox, su, recovery, etc as required if you flashed a RUU no root no flashing new roms

Alright, I will try a different SD card. Hopefully this works. I am doing it correct though right? Just copy that file to the SD card and reboot into Hboot and it should just prompt me to update? I don't have to do anything before transferring the file.

Well i'm having issues too after flashing the firmware inc the new radio for ics roms. I can't use fastboot anymore (yes this was know), but i also can't go back to older hboot's either.
i'm getting cid errors while updating pb images. I have only 1 partition. Never had this error before with my sdcard.
This came after flashing hboot 1.20.
Any ideas to revert back to older hboot's ? RUU.exe files won't work anymore, can't flash other radio's etc...

Hey guys,
any ideas on this.
I used the PG58IMG.zip with the new firmware update for only the hboot and radio. The hboot was flashed, i'm now on "locked" 1.20.... but the radio "11.." wasn't flashed. Now i'm having issues with some dialer stuff and net connectivities. So my guess is i need to flash the new radio file.
The thing is i can't flash the radio anymore. fastboot won't work on this new hboot, and i can't use the PG58IMG files anymore.
When trying to use a PG58IMG file, i'm getting the cid error.
RESOLVED:
fastboot cid commands still work on hboot 1.20, just get your phone into hboot, and try supercid, this worked for me.

i'm switching between all options, but it is known that hboot 1.20... doesn't support fastboot yet, so that's something else.
for now i'm back to gingerbread, but i really liked ics, let's hope somebody will find a way to use fastboot on 1.20...
give it a try put downloaded zip on root of sd card go into bootloader and phone should see file and flash.
this is just what i have read on the ICS firmware thread.

yeah it sees the update, it's trying to auto install, can't choose yes or no, it's just scanning for the PG files and when it's trying to install the zip file it stops with a incorrect cid error.
install complete ruu (released by rc team), that'll install everything including radio, after that install any custom ICS rom you like, i found this method safest.
be sure to super cid your phone.

Here's some advice. I was having the same problem you were. What I realized was that I was unable to check my cid or use fastboot options because I was running a ics Rom which breaks fastboot. I'm tmous and my cid wasn't in firmware by default. So after trying to flash the update I ended up with the updated hboot 1.20 that said locked (supposedly just says locked but really isnt) I kept reading every page of the firmware thread and I found someone who added the tmous cid to the firmware update and posted a drop box link which worked like a charm. I reflashed that one and now I have new radio and firmware and my phone is much smoother. Hopefully this works for you as it sounds like exactly what I went thru. Going to go find you the link now

tell me how to update? I'm from Russia, it is very difficult to translate and communicate. I ask how you can in a simplified form.
Give us some background info. Was your phone rooted in the first place? Did you follow the path s-off then clockwokmod recovery then root then supercid? What did you do before this happened? Did you try to install the latest RUU 3.06 where hboot 1.20 comes? We are happy to help but it's not easy trying to solve something without some info

so, first, did you check the md5 checksum to see if your download wasn't corrupted? Some times I use winmd5sum portable because I don't need to install it in my computer. http://download.cnet.com/WinMd5Sum-Portable/3000-2381_4-75099291.html
You noticed that you are flashing a rom for the sensation not the sensation xe (this one is the 401.101) some differences are discussed here but is an advanced topic.
if everything is ok this is how you install a pg58img.zip using the bootloader
place pg58img.zip in sd card
turn off phone if you are not sure the phone is really off take battery out and put it back
press and keep holding VOL DOWN
press and keep holding POWER until you enter the bootloader
pg58img is automatically detected and you are asked if you want to update
after installation of all packages is finished reboot your phone
I was checking the pg58img and seems to be the RUU: the firmware update plus the rooted stock rom and the custom recovery.
although s-off and supercid are persistent and not modified with this firmware update your hboot 1.2000 is now locked and you may not be able to use fastboot commands or install some packages like radios (maybe that's happening to you when it says fail-pu)
to regain unlocked hboot you can use the tools at htcdev to unlock hboot 1.20 or you can download the hboot 1.17 onlocked from here
before you do that don't forget to delete the pg58 img that you hace in your sd card and then place this one in its place.
cheers
this is all I've done (Fail-PU) (((((

so, first, did you check the md5 checksum to see if your download wasn't corrupted? Some times I use winmd5sum portable because I don't need to install it in my computer. http://download.cnet.com/WinMd5Sum-Portable/3000-2381_4-75099291.html
You noticed that you are flashing a rom for the sensation not the sensation xe (this one is the 401.101) some differences are discussed here but is an advanced topic.
if everything is ok this is how you install a pg58img.zip using the bootloader
place pg58img.zip in sd card
turn off phone if you are not sure the phone is really off take battery out and put it back
press and keep holding VOL DOWN
press and keep holding POWER until you enter the bootloader
pg58img is automatically detected and you are asked if you want to update
after installation of all packages is finished reboot your phone
I was checking the pg58img and seems to be the RUU: the firmware update plus the rooted stock rom and the custom recovery.
although s-off and supercid are persistent and not modified with this firmware update your hboot 1.2000 is now locked and you may not be able to use fastboot commands or install some packages like radios (maybe that's happening to you when it says fail-pu)
to regain unlocked hboot you can use the tools at htcdev to unlock hboot 1.20 or you can download the hboot 1.17 onlocked from here
before you do that don't forget to delete the pg58 img that you hace in your sd card and then place this one in its place.
cheers

it failed when trying to flash the recovery which is custom and no stock. try flashing the firmware update only without recovery or rom. you can find it here, that's what i did first flashed the firmware only and after that a rom (android revolution 5.0.2 currently)
anyway, I was talking to some other guys and if noting works you can download a shipped RUU (there's a collection here). Run the exe file and you'll finish with a stock gingerbread system. You'll have to root and install custom recovery and the usual again. If after that you still feel like trying ICS install the firmware update only, not the one you tried.
cheers
Yet another example of someone jumping blind into something they don't understand. If you don't know how to reverse the rooting process you should not even consider rooting in the first place.
There should be some sort of test before rooting information is given out - would stop n00bs getting themselves up **** creek

here's a video look
So i was in the middle of following the steps in the s-off and perma root thread and i ran into a problem. Hope someone here is nice enough to help me out.
So i ran revolutionary and everything went smooth. I already had the clockwork mod zip in the root of my sd card so i just rebooted the phone into hboot. When i went into hboot it detected the pg58img file and ran it, it prompted me if i wanted to update and so i did. It rebooted the phone and then i went back into hboot. The hboot said it was 1.23 and said Locked instead of Revolutionary as it displayed previously.
When i try to run the pg58 file in hboot an error occurs and said it is not compatible and only asks me to power off. So now at this moment it displays 1.23 version of hboot and s-off and says locked.
What can i do after this point? Any help i can get would be fantastic, thanks.
You're still good.
You're locked out of some of the most advanced fastboot commands. But that's it.
You still have S-Off. ADB will still work. You can flash ROM's. Etc etc etc....
It's a known problem. But it's not really a problem.
It's not like you divided by zero and destroyed the fabric of the universe or anything.
This is a noob question but how would i install clockwork recovery? I thought i would try dl from market but it said i didnt have root permission(obviously)
Is there a thread that has a solution to my issue or maybe you can quickly guide me out of this? lol Just kind of confused as to what i should do next lol.
Look in the development section for a thread called guide to s-off.
Skip the s-off part since you've done that.
Go right to the part about installing recovery. Following the directions. It's incredibly easy. It'll take about 3 minutes.
Once you have clcokwork recovery you can flash custom ROMs. You don't actually have to root the stock ROM. (Though you should make a backup of it just for kicks. You can do it all through clockwork recovery)
Yea I tried it multiple times already. I have the pg58 file in the root of the sd and when i go to the hboot it says
"Model ID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
Thats the only option it gives me so i am not able to install clockwork recovery.
Do you have SuperCID?
no i do not, would that fix the issue? i thought that is just for installing any rom on the device. My issue is that i cant get recovery to work.
I would think that is the next step after i run the perma root zip.

It should. Follow the SuperCID instructions here. Then update your firmware via the bootloader with this package that rmk made. It includes ClockworkMod Recovery.
Cool, thanks. I will definately try this as soon as I get off work later today and post up a status regarding the issue

He doesn't have use of Fastboot commands. I am pretty sure they are needed for super CID. Let me check.
He can't super CID as Fastboot commands are used.
Have you tried to run the correct RUU.exe? I think that would change back your h boot. There are zips in the development section you can use to downgrade but you may need super CID to use them.

Yes, he does. CID commands will work with 1.23.xxxx. I've done it myself. Advanced fastboot commands won't work (he can't flash a radio through fastboot).

Yeah, I had SuperCID to flash the new firmware to use an ICS ROM, then changed it back to the T-Mobile one after. No worries, it's confusing.

I have the same problem. The Super CID does not work for me because when I type adb devices two blank lines show up, can't get the device number. I followed the instructions to the letter and usb debugging is on.

Okay, I am not near a pc atm so I cannot look where they are located, if you have the adb tools you also need another program called Net Framework installed on your pc.
Make sure your phone is powered onvand usb debugging checked when plugged into pc. I find it easiest to hold the mouse over the adb tools folder, press alt & ctrl keys and right click on the mouse and choose open command window here. Now type the command "adb devices".
Good luck.

First boot can take 10 minutes to load as the Davilk cache is being recreated. Also, did you perform a full wipe first and check the Md5 checksums, make sure your downloaded ROM is not corrupt.

If you are asking here, you'll get 0 responses. Go to the RUU thread and ask there for a mirror- or better search for it there- I've seen at least 5 of them for 1.50

And you are s on? Forget about any ruu. You are cursed to stay with this Rom and firmware until *and IF* revolutionary updates. I'm sorry, but you should pay more attention before tampering with crucial parts of your phone

There is no way to install some old HBOOT?
I believe someone found a solution using taco root, it looks complex and risky but it looks like it is possible. I suggest you have a look in the development forum.

now I stuck in bootloader... now I just wanna install some room s-off,s-on no matter :| but I can't run recovery,
I trying this
STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. BEWARE THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING READ BEFORE GOING TO STEP 1.
YOU MUST Follow this correctly otherwise you could semi-brick your device (Semi bricks recovery by re-flashing RUU). If you follow it correctly YOU WILL GET S-ON SUCCESSFULLY -confirmed by other users
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong but i will help in every situation. 2 unrecoverable bricks so far. 1 due to not flashing RUU
First time i did this with a custom ROM installed - semi-bricked my device (couldn't boot due to security warning as S-on doesn't work with custom roms), restored it using RUU.exe
Second time after S-off i took the following steps and successfully went back to S-ON without any problems and booted up into stock rom.
Confirmed to work by several others as well as myself
1. Follow Step 4 above to get SuperCID - Skip if you already have it
2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful
So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
3. Make sure when you download the RUU. download the same or similiar RUU version as your phone came with (e.g. Tmous or EU or Asian etc). As long as you install a stock rom similiar to what you had you should be ok. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
4. Switch your phone on now and let it boot for the first time and just skip through the welcome screen.
5. Go back to Step 4 - SUPERCID and go through 1 to 7 to get to the fastboot bootloader. (so just do what you did before, put adb files in local disk, adb reboot bootloader etc)
6. enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one u just downloaded in step 1) and then reboot. It should work now
The above method works successfully. So do not under any circumstances try this without going back to stock first using Ruu.exe. and Follow the instructions correctly if you want S-on WITHOUT problems Any doubts or questions PM me and i will get back to you and help you.
Donations welcome as i had a very shaky night experimenting and bricking my device (and having a panic attack over it) to find a safe method for successfully getting S-on back for all you out there complaining about warranty.
