Ok. Can help with my question?

Use Gold Card - Not working
I manage using gold card and flash ruu 2.10 but still not working cause my main version is > 3. Anybody can help? please....

try reading this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728513
some ideas you can try

You forgot to downgrade misc_version before restoring to stock.
Now, you have one of 2 options:
1) If your HBOOT is modified - you can fastboot flash recovery, connect by ADB, execute misc_version script in recovery (that step saves you ROM installation) to downgrade main version, and then execute RUU again.
2) If your HBOOT is stock and you can't do anything - you'll have to unlock it the HTC way, after unlock - execute all the above (including relocking the bootloader after main version is downgraded).

Since your hboot already using 2+, you can do following steps:
1. unlock your bootloader using htc dev
2. after unlocked, install recovery
3. go to recovery you've previous installed then connect usb and change misc version via adb
4. relock again the bootloader
5. then you can install the RUU
Hope this help.

It doesn't. At least in my case.
I had to add my cid to make it loadable but that's about it:
Loading .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Checking .. [PG88IMG.zip]
Then it returns to Fastboot menu again with nothing changed!

Hi Ahmed,
What is the version of your hboot? is it already 2.00+? if it is you can just unlock via htc dev to flash the recovery. No need to flash the firmware

IMO is that you dont need to flash the firmware, since you already said that you've already unlock the bootloader. I did flash the firmware because i want to unlock my bootloader.
I download this recovery image www.4ext.net/ddl/saga/recovery.zip, I flash this image in fastboot and the recovery installed successfully, maybe you can try it also.
after that you can install tacoroot for temporary root and misc version your device image version, then you can install ruu afterward.

My problem is complex. Hboot is 0.98.0002 so i can't use HTCDev to unlock. At the same time adb is not working so i can't s-off. RUUs of 2.x or 1.x do not work either as latest image was 3.x .
I think i need to upgrade Hboot (somehow) to enable HTCdev Unlock then downgrade and s-off. That may require RUU > 3.x ... and it must be RUU not OTA or update package.

My case was the same as yours thats why i flash the firmware so i can unlock my bootloader. But you are not able to flash from chinese ota i gave you earlier?

But my phone is properly connected, i tried europe ruu(no usb erros), but then i got cid error.

Ok, turn in bootloader and now no usb error, but now i'm getting bootloader error 140. Any suggestions?

It seems that you used an European unbranded RUU. To fix you have to create a goldcard, use the 1.47.401.4 RUU again to have a booting system, then change the main version and after that flash the TMOB RUU again

thanks, but now i got another problem, my phone turn only in bootloader(but i cant see it using adb devices). But i can choose fastboot and then i see my device using fastboot devices. So i'cant get card cid maybe there is another way to get goldcard?

Use this to get the CID

Big thanks to amidabuddha. Finally i flashed 1.47.401.4 RUU(phone is booting fine), so how i can change main version to install TMOB RUU?

Follow this guide.
When you are done I suggest to fill the offset 00000000 to 00000170 of your sdcard with zeroes (as it was before) because various users reported that running a device with a goldcard inside can cause issues.

[Q] Unbootable device

Hi guys, new here (don't judge! xD)
So I have had a HTC Sensation for almost a good year. Halfway through this year I decided to try get off stock sense and see what advantages rooting does so I unlocked the bootdevice following the instructions on HTC's website and managed to installed Cyanogenmod hassle free. Recently however, I have looked into getting Android Revolution HD and thought I would switch to see what it is like. This is where I started getting problems, I think it first started with me using Clockworkmod Recovery instead of 4EXT to install and secondly I forgot to use Smart Recovery in 4EXT.
Basically, I have tried formatting and wiping, using the superwipe script, trying to recover using my nandroid backup of CMod, trying to install a stock rom, tried to install the RUU exe file ("RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_etc...") but every time it tells me the ROM has successfully installed, I reboot and it gets stuck at the White Screen of Death with the green HTC logo (the one just before the "quietly brilliant" slogan (or the blue CMod man)). So at the moment I don't have a working phone

I have tried to install "PG58IMG.zip" many times but have failed every time. It just says "Parsing" the zip file but doesn't actually install. I have tried USB 2.0 drivers, reinstalling the HTC drivers, trying to flash through CMD but it just won't work! Would you guys be ever so kind to help me out! I have tried looking at every related thread under HTC Sensation

First delete your imei and serial number foryou own safety
If you have still 4ext recovery installed enable smartflash and then immediately restore your nandroid backup
Before this format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
If that fails flash the boot.img of your current rom manually
If you don't know how go in general section and search the thread for flashing roms with S-ON.do only extra 1 step

Thank you!! I managed to get the stock HTC Rom running again by flashing a kernel using the HTC Sensation tool (I copied the boot.img out of the zip file) and ran the "Flash your kernel here". If I copied a the boot.img and flashed it from say "Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.8.0_XE.zip\kernels\sebastian\" Do you think that may solve my problem?

- There's option at the bottom of your first post to Edit it. Your serial/IMEI can be used for dangerous purposes.
- Refer to This Post to find the correct OTA.zip.
- To install the OTA.zip, there are a few steps to be done. What was the last ROM you installed? Did you update to JellyBean via OTA?

Sorry for my weird typos. I was half asleep while I was typing that. I realized it now.
That's the correct OTA you download. It is in the form of a zip file correct?
You can flash that OTA with the help of the method stated in my signature

Lol man I can't stop laughing at my typos. And the subsequent question asked by you hahaha

no light blinks or anything?
Did you flash the firmware twice? at first it usually gives error.

But this method has worked for many people. Two of them reported yesterday.
at 10th step I had already given that you shouldn't flash firmware if you had already updated to jellybean.
But I seriously am think what could have could have caused the brick as the OTA matches with your firmware.
Did you do SuperCID?
Try VolDown+Power Button to go into bootloader.

yes done it twice
thing is
after it said done in command prompt, the green progressbar wouldn't leave, i mean it was stuck at the green progress bar
the thing is, i waited for a while for it to finish, a lil bit was left at the end in the progressbar, but it said done in command prompt
so after a lot of waiting, i just hard reset it, but after that the phone is not booting into bootloader and not responding at all
what is happening?

Bro I can't find anything that you did incorrectly. I don't know what the problem is. But I think that incomplete firmware update bricked it.

Unless it turns on, there's nothing much we can do with it.
You can use this thread however http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116062

Thanks for replying to my question Pal.
I've managed to figure out how to unlock, root, get SuperCid, relock, get another unlock token and then eventually get S_ OFF,, which wouldn't work until I relocked then unlocked again with a new bin file.
Once I had done all this I re flashed a new twrp recovery, then flashed a new rom from recovery, then gapps.. Still cant the find a vodafone stock rom I was on but as I now have S Off I guess that doesnt matter and I can flash the european latest rom if i want to.
Thank you for taking the time to help me Mate, I am Grateful.
Im still on 1.15 radio and I think I will try to flash that next with the 1.20 or higher version to see if it helps with my phone signal which is not very good
