Hi.
I bought my Sensation few days ago. Updated it to 1.45.401.2, got bored with stock Rom. So I decided to unlock bootloader to use CustomeRoms
I removed SIMCard from Sensation (I needed it in my old phone) and used official bootloader unlocker tool from this site http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader and everything went ok. After unlocking I rebooted my phone to bootloader and saw this:
*** UNLOCKED ***

Good so far.
Installed Recovery 5.0.2.0 (official tool doesn't include this) - no problem.
Downloaded ROM SlimSense, made full wipe (cache, data system, dalvik etc) installed it per Recovery (succesfully), rebooted and.... the problems started.
After rebooting bootloop started. Full wipe, reinstalation (succesful again), reboot and the same - bootloop.I thought that instalation .zip file maybe was broken - let's try different. Downloaded virtuous_sensation-s-pyramid-v3.0.0-beta ROM, full wiped, installed (succesfully), reboot and... the same - bootloop.
I started suspecting something is wrong so decided to cure my phone by flashing stockROM. Downloaded RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed from XDA, full wiped with recovery, and tried to flash it -RUU founds my phone, reboot it to start instalation (black screen with white htc- missing percentage info) and try to send files to phone for 15-20 sec - then RUU show message that it cannot update my phone. When I unplug phone from usb, phone goes back to bootloader and show:

RUU
Security fail!
Update fail!
After this "try" i still have fully working Recovery. I tried also 1.35 and 1.73 stock ROMs - the same fail
I tried to unlock super cid 11111111 but it didn'twork - some SMART_IO.CRD file is missing.
Then i tried to use revolutionary way of unlocking, but without system on the phone it doesn't recognize it. And i can't have system cause RUU doesn't work.
Then I remembered that my SIM card is out of phone.
So I put it back but it didn't change anything: full wipe, instalation of SlimSense, reboot and... bootloop again, the same with virtuos.
The same fail with RUU! , the same supercid and revolutionary failure.
So here comes my question:
Is there any other posibility to flash stock ROM? PG58img somehow?
Pls - DON'T TELL me that i should use revolutionary first - i know it now.
Tell me how to solve this problem.

PG58img ??? yes, you can try this : http://goo-inside.me/ruu/pyramid/fu...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed.zip
after download, rename to PG58IMG.zip and move to root of your sd-card, enter to bootloader -> flash this...
i could be wrong (not an expert) but maybe its failing because your phone still says its S-ON

As far as I know Official bootloader unlocker gives only "UNLOCKED" and it's enough to flash custom ROMs.
@ ranggazay
I extracted rom.zip from StockROM 1.45 renamed it to PG58IMG.zip and tried to flash but still nothing. Also tried the same earliers StockRoms (1.35, 1.27 etc).
Unfortunately I can't use your file cause i gave my phone to service.
Any solution?
Hello,
did you find a solution to the problem? I experienced this today and thinking about a repair unless I find something here. Did you get any solution? Thank you.
Try flashing the RUU again whist the phone is on FASTBOOT-USB
Same problem here - I'm interested in any solution

S on will not allow you to flash radios. Unlocked bootloader through HTC does not give you s off which is a requirement to flash custom ROMS.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
Htc dev method unlock only few parts of the bootloader.
It doesn't unlock the radio area, it doesn't give you advanced fastboot write command access (that's why you can't change your cid) and I think that the boot.img partition (where there is the kernel) is not flashable from recovery.
You unlocked your bootloader on a 2.3.4 rom (with a 2.3.4 kernel, sense 3.0) and you tried to flash two 2.3.5 roms.
Without the possibility to flash a new kernel your phone was trying to boot with a 2.3.4 stock kernel + a rom that was meant for 2.3.5. This could be the cause of your bootloops.
I would try to install a 2.3.4 rom, like android revolution HD 3.x.x, you could have problems with wifi but it should boot at least.
First of all get S-off then supercid ur phone. You need to have s off to install any custom Rom properly. Ones you do that hopefully solve problem. Try not to messing around u might brick ur phone. You already void ur warranty by unlocking bootloader.

Same problem but with different unit--- I have a HTC ChaCha.
Any solutions please? I would love to get S-OFF on my ChaCha but I know that is only possible via an XTC Clip.
Why would he have problems with WiFi? I think my stock ROM got broken or one of the stock ROM's kernels got messed up when I installed BusyBox because for some odd reason when I restored to factory settings with stock ROM the WiFi had problems connecting. It couldn't connect to anything at all.
I had same problem and this is how I solved it
Ok here is answer to solve you
Flash any 2.3.5 Rom and open that zip in computer and extract the boot.IMF file and place it to the web folder in c drive and and flash it immediately after installing Rom
Go to bootloader and make sure fastboot USB connected and then flash the boot.IMG file from cmd prompt
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
With s-on and **unlocked** via htc.dev, you can't flash radio.img or boot.img, nor can you write using fastboot (eg. superCID). RUU will not run with s-on.
You will need to revert and downgrade via this guide, you can then either continue with custom flashing or run the ruu correct for your original software/baseband/carrier/location.

Flashing a custom ROM does not give you s off. Which part of you can't flash radios and kernels with s on do you not get?. You cannot flash Android Revolution ROM with s on. Read the OP of the thread, requires s off.

You're wrong. You can flash ARHD with s-on. The only requisite is to flash the kernel (boot.img) by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and voila. You need to have the unlocked bootloader with htcdev too.
My Sensation came with HBOOT 1.21, so no revolutionary at all. I unlocked by htcdev, installed 4ext recovery and ARHD 4.1.3 this way.

i read that HBOOT 1.21 can be S-OFFed " reported done by a member " in [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF or [Finally Here!] HTC Unbricking Project threads , i don't remember if the device on GB or ICS
i think it is Juopunutbear S-OFF search inside it [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF , it is done using the wire trick , link http://unlimited.io/
the only comment i have , is to verify the S-OFF type , is it like hardware S-OFF " i.e can't be S-ON again for warranty reasons ? " or it Software S-OFF

Hello everybody,
I have a little problem/bug with my HTC. I have flashed the rom Saga3D v3.0 that includes Sense 3.0.
My phone wasn't working anymore after trying to flash two times Runnydroid and CyanogenMod, it was blocking on HTC bootscreen (and that for more than 20min)
As a temporary solution i found Saga3D and my phone is working again but the rom normally includes Sense 3.0. In the software informations of my HTC there is written Sense 3.0 but in case I have the interface of Sense 3.5 !
I had the new update before flashing (and new HBOOT idd) and I dont know why I get this problem. I did a full wipe (Wipe data/cache with Revolutionary CWM) and I dont understand why I get again Sense 3.5
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks in advance
download the 4ext recovery control app from market and flash that recovery over cwm! Then reboot into recovery, format ALL partitions then flash a sense 3 rom again eg - Shadow Hawk V2.1 [see mmy sig]
Hope this helps!
Tried to follow your instructions, flashed Recovery.img of 4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen.. Reflashed recovery of Revolutionary CMW and it is working again.. wtf
Is it not linked of my hboot that is in 2.00.0002 ? Is it not more raisonable to wait s-off with new update off revolutionary ?
Every time my phone is blocking on HTC boot screen I must pull out the battery and I'm scared that my phone is bricking (already did 5-6 times because cmd isn't finding phone on boot screen..)
4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen?
u didn't came into the recovery?

I flashed the recovery img of 4ext but when i tried to go into the recovery(with the app or with volume down+power) with 4ext my phone was blocking on HTC boot screen.
I pulled out the battery, boot in normal mode and flashed again the recovery img of Revolutionary CMW. Recovery is working with this CMW.

Yes my HBOOT is s-on 2.00.0002 but unlocked with HTCdev. (People said me that flashing a custom rom was possible with s-on, if bootloader was unlocked)
If you have unlocked using HTCDEV see this thread for a resolution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19071114#post19071114
It is possible to flash S-ON but you need to manually flash the boot image for the custom rom that you intend to use after ROm flash.

I think I will actually wait for new update of Revolutionary, I got to much worried with flashing/rooting my HTC. Will try to reset to actually stock rom and wait.

Hi guys,
need your help, cause Im lost. I have One SV - k2UL, S-ON, H-boot 2.00, radio 1.15.40a.00.04
I unlocked bootloader, did root, flashed Bluedonkey rom and flashed boot.img through fastboot cause of S-ON. Everything was fine working until my battery drained and phone turned off. Since then, the phone boots, cant wont load simcard and gets in hot reboot loop. I tried to flash different ROM (SATURN III), flashing thourh recovery works, but I´m getting Unable to mount initSD error. When i reboot to fastboot to flash boot.img it tells me waiting for device and phone is not recognized by my laptop. I tried to reinstal drivers, but it tells me i have the latest drivers..
Any idea whats wrong?
Bluedonkey is "only" a themed version of Saturn III. Boot.img is the same for both (stock kernel).
You need try to go to recovery and flash a rom again. Maybe try the stock rom first.
I tried to flash the rom again, rom boots, but wont give me the option to unlock simcard. It tells me no service on lockscreen and when I unlock the screen, it gets hotreboots with the same result - no service..
Also without simcard?
yup, same result
by stock rom... do you mean OTA or RUU?
[ROM] Jelly Bean Stock Odexed k2_u & k2_ul (cwm flashable)
If that not work than S-Off, SuperCid & RUU.
i tried to flash it, but didnt work.. same results. gonna have to go through that S-off etc..

Hello, you forgot to "S-off" your phone.
I find that to get SuperCID and S-Off only works if you have a ROM that has Sense on it. Try this:
Download ViperOne Rom and in install it. (Hopefully it will load and bootup)
If it doesn't get past the Logo screen go into the "Bootloader" on the phone (Power + Volume Down). Connect it to your USB and make sure it's says "Fastboot USB". Extract "boot_hboot2.15.img" in the ZIP (in Kernal Folder).
Put the file in the same folder in your Fastboot/ADB . Type in "Fastboot Flash Boot boot_hboot2.15.img" and is should allow you to start up the ViperOne ROM.
From there you should be able to do your SuperCID and S-off. (Make sure your Rooted, SuperSU, and Busybox is installed before doing SuperCID and S-off)
barbudaniel20 if you just want to load up a ROM that is designed for 2.15, then just find the "boot.img" in the ZIP file of the ROM and then got to "Bootloader" type "Fastboot Flash Boot boot.img"
That should load up your ROM. S-off allows the ROM to automatically install the boot.img to the phone.
Thank's for reply valky. The phone runs now on viper rom but with signal problems and is not s-off 'cause i don't succed in this action. Maybe I don't find a good tutorial. Did you know one good?
PS: Maybe I have to flash back the stock rom and after do all these, s-off, root etc.? Is possible if I didn't remember which was the original? I can flash wathever I want? :S
PS: I want to solve that problem with the signal..

Viper rom actually installed? Then use rumrunner.us to set the phone S-OFF. Once done you can install another radio version.
BTW whats the specific problem with the reception / signal ?
I will be back next month with my s.off news thank.s for site.
The problem is that I use my phone for 2..or 3 hours and after that I have to restart it because I lost my signal and I.m unable to make calls .. and I think that I can fix it by flashing another rom but I have to succed first in s.off.. then I have to chose one good rom

You can install any HBOOT 2.15 rom with S-ON. S-OFF is only needed to flash custom radios or HBOOT 2.16 roms.
Hello - I'm new here,
Some day ago I was trying to change rom on my HTC One S. I've ended up with Cyanogenmod which worked almost ok but after some update system crashed.
So I was trying to find something else - I've ended on Venom.
I was having issues almost all the time - phone was resetting, had calling, signal issues.
Then today I was trying to install another rom but I've ended "softbricked" after installing newest Cyanogenmod for One s. Just blank screen after flashing it from recovery.
Please help me to make this phone to work I will have some big problems without it (I know I'm stupid messing with that in the first place)
Anyway if there's some good souls on XDA, here's my specs:
Team Win Recovery project 2.7.1.0
HBoot 2.15 - Tampered, S-On (no idea what happened)
radio 1.1.50
opendsp-v31.1.0.45.0815
And my situation: I was trying to install ANY of windows 8.1 driver that works with this phone but none of it was working properly. I have only connected and sent zip files trough adb commands (while in recovery).
PLEASE HELP! So many hours on this and nothing works as it should.
*crying idiot*
What rom should I install to make this phone shine again?
I have now unlocked fastboot on Windows thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/general/guide-fix-fastboot-windows-8-1-t2858337
Since you didn't mention it I got to ask you whether you flashed the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after you flashed any rom via your recovery. Due to the fact that your phone is still S-ON none of the roms here on xda is going to work properly without that step.
I guess your problems started because the cyanogenmod update you tried to install contained a new kernel your phone couldn't flash on its own (because of the S-ON status).
Just unzip the "boot.img" from the rom archive into your fastboot/adb folder and flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and your phone should work properly again.
Thanks!
I have flashed new boot.img before installing rom from recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/development/unofficial-slimkat-hboot-2-15-t2918217). And rom worked correctly - without reboots. I hope that is the end of my problems.
Should I do S-off and get rid of that Tampered thing? Or I can leave it as is?
Well, that depends on you. If you want do downgrade your hboot, install the leaked hboot 2.16 or don't want to be obliged to always flash the kernel seperately then you should S-OFF your phone.
The "tampered" actually has no effect besides that it may annoy you. It dissappeared after I ran a RUU the first time.
