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 ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
eMMC-boot
Aug 2 2011,22:35:52
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:
*** UNLOCKED ***

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.

ok here is solution
just after u unlocked your bootloader u have to keep stock rom.....means official 2.3.4 and then u need to flash android revolution rom "3.6.x"
then after that rom boots...........just open the revolutionary.exe and try to root it and i am sure u will get s-off
this is what i did to get out of this problem.......after this super cid your phone and u will be able to flash any ruu.....
if u think this helped press thanks button

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

i am using htc explorer. somedays before i unlocked my phone through htc developer site. After that i made a partition in my sd card to increase internal memory of phone via using link2sd apps.
i found that my old application like ndtv which were already installed in my phone are not working .i reset my mobile by going into its setting menu.
Now phone stucks htc word screen.
To get out of the problem i tried to installed ruu.
But at the last of its installation part

I'm coming from the Galaxy phones so I am totally lost with everything HTC. I was experience before that with my EVO 4G but, now I'm just completely stuck even after reading as much threads as I can. There are many posts similar to mine, but they don't contain the fix for my phone.
I traded my Captivate for a Sensation 4G. When I arrived home I realized the Wifi was not turning on. It was on ARHD 6.6.3. I've reflashed and flashed 6.6.4, then to Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2 on Sebastian FM #1 Kernel. WiFi is dead. I tried the LogCat and it shows something about wifi not loading. I will provided the logcat if it helps.
Heres what my bootloader shows:

And I have ext4 clockwork 1.0.0.4 (I think)
From my research. There shouldn't be a problem with kernel mismatch since I'm S-Off with Revolutionary. The guy that traded the phone with me won't reply back to what he did with the Sensation so I'm lost.
I checked the folders /data/misc/wifi and deleted the supplicant file, still no fix. Tried WiFix...didn't work.
I'm willing to go back to complete stock froyo or how the phone came in, but I want to be able to root. Because coming from an EVO I hear that once you RUU, you can return. So I'm afraid there.
Please provided me with the necessary steps to get my phone back to stock and easily go back to root/custom rom and wifi fix...

Can you do two things to fix wifi before returning to stock..
First I want you to verify this
1.go to 4EXT and under tools check whether there is an option called "smartflash" is there or not.
2.if it is there then disable smartflash.. It's for ppl with SON.. And causing problems for ppl who has soff
Them flash the rom again and see
If you didn't have smartflash option then try these two things
1.from whatever rom you have (i believe you have virtuous inquistion) extract the boot.img from the rom's zip file (inside kernels folder) and flash this via fastboot
Steps to do it
1. Copy the boot.img to adb folder of pc
2. Put your device in fastboot and connect it to your pc (mobile reads fastboot usb)
3. Flash the boot.img via fastboot
Command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2.Now the other part
.copy the files present in kernel/modules folder present in The rom's zip file and paste them in /system/lib/modules/ of your mobile (usw file explorer to do this)
This should/will solve your wifi problem

Before doing anything rather try this simple procedure. Install root explorer or app like that to have access to root level, den, you can find the wpa_supplicant.conf file in /data/misc/wifi/ directory on your phone. Simply cut/rename the file and put it somewhere else.
Remove it from there and move it to sdcard..
Restart de phone. Wifi should work now.
Firstly, thanks for replying to my thread/help.
I see no option for smartflash in my recovery. I've done the kernel flash through ADB also. All the kernels that were included with the rom I've tried (the only one that works without bootloop is SebastianFM's). Finally, I did what you told me to do with the manual transfer of Kernel files to my mobile. Something new that happened is that the wifi toggle is toggle-able, but it will only stay "Off".
Also for the second reply, I've already done the wifi_supplicant thing. But this time I also tried it in combo with the first help.
Can you guys tell me if use RUU, will it be hard to go back to root?

its best if we clean the device entirely
backup all your important stuff to sd-cadr..there are lots of backup apps ..use em
the safest way to clean the device is by RUU
first of all RUU ...cleans wipes every partition..but it still keeps you SOFF...so you can customize your device any way you want even after RUU run
i presume you are superCID (i.e. 11111111)
if you don't know that then chk it via fastboot first
command fastboot getvar cid
then if not supercid do it (you can revert back to your original cid whenever you wanted just remember your original cid or save it somewhere)
command to supercid fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)
then get any ICS RUU from this thread..(i suggest you to get the Europe one)
from this thread
if you are XE then get along this line
"RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe"
if you are normal get one along this line "RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5"
keep your device in fastboot and connect it to pc
then run the RUU.exe and follow the onscreen instructions
after running RUU...chk for wifi problem..if it still persists then try any GB RUU...even after that also wifi problem is there then im afraid it might be Hardware/antenna problem
if running RUU fixed your wifi problem
then either you can stick with it..or you can flash custom rom again and see
Thanks again for the thought out reply. Many people ditch my problem after the first time. :]
I checked and I am super cid.
Okay so, I hear its bad to flash a rom that was meant for another country...
I have the T-Mobule Sensation. Does it make a difference?
Also, pertaining to the RUU-- I read around that the RUU has to be older than the phone? On the battery case, I see a date the phone was released. Should I follow suit?
Thanks.

i had tmobile sensation too and i use it in INDIA...im using ARHD 6.6.3 and through wifi i watch atleast 10 videos in YouTube..so i guess wifi is not dependent on phone and all
the only problem you might(rarely face ) is signal and data bandwidth..its dependent on the region ...if you do face this signal issue pm me..i'll let you know the best solution
now regarding RUU...you are SOFF and supercid..that's all is required you can run any RUU...im saying it again ANY RUU so no worries regarding RUU run
anyways we are doing RUU run to just clean the stuff...
after running RUU (follow the steps Ive posted earlier) we'll install ARHD or any other custom rom again
get 3.32 fw from here firmware
its a PG** file so i assume you know how to update it
(this firmware flashing is to just get the revolutionary eng HBOOT as RUU run turns your HBOOT state to locked again) dont forget to remove the PG*** file from sdcard after the update is done
then
flashing recovery again
get latest 4EXT from here RECOVERY DB LINK
extract and put the recovery.img in your adb folder(pc)
then flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recover.img
then get the ARHD or whatever rom into Sdcard
go to recovery
first do a backup (safe keep)
then the important step(which solves petty issues if any like wifi error and all)
go to wipe|format and do "format all partitions except sdcard" this is powerful than superwipe...so superwipe is not required (i highly recommend this step when changing roms ...for upgrading roms this step is not required)
then flash the rom via recovery and ...enjoy
I've decided to grab the TMOUS version (to avoid possible signal issues?). Unless you recommend the Europe version...? The download is super slow so it's going to take awhile. Meanwhile, I'm backing up apps with TiBu and will do Nandroid.
As for flashing firmware-- I'll be grabbing the PG file and putting it to the root of my Microsd. And fastboot it from bootloader..? (referencing this tut: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-flash-pg58img-zip-ics-firmware-on-htc-sensation/).

the only problem you might(rarely face ) is signal and data bandwidth..its dependent on the region ...if you do face this signal issue pm me..i'll let you know the best solution
now regarding RUU...you are SOFF and supercid..that's all is required you can run any RUU...im saying it again ANY RUU so no worries regarding RUU run
anyways we are doing RUU run to just clean the stuff...
after running RUU (follow the steps Ive posted earlier) we'll install ARHD or any other custom rom again
get 3.32 fw from here firmware
its a PG** file so i assume you know how to update it
(this firmware flashing is to just get the revolutionary eng HBOOT as RUU run turns your HBOOT state to locked again) dont forget to remove the PG*** file from sdcard after the update is done
then
flashing recovery again
get latest 4EXT from here RECOVERY DB LINK
extract and put the recovery.img in your adb folder(pc)
then flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recover.img
then get the ARHD or whatever rom into Sdcard
go to recovery
first do a backup (safe keep)
then the important step(which solves petty issues if any like wifi error and all)
go to wipe|format and do "format all partitions except sdcard" this is powerful than superwipe...so superwipe is not required (i highly recommend this step when changing roms ...for upgrading roms this step is not required)
then flash the rom via recovery and ...enjoy

I've decided to grab the TMOUS version (to avoid possible signal issues?). Unless you recommend the Europe version...? The download is super slow so it's going to take awhile. Meanwhile, I'm backing up apps with TiBu and will do Nandroid.
As for flashing firmware-- I'll be grabbing the PG file and putting it to the root of my Microsd. And fastboot it from bootloader..? (referencing this tut: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-flash-pg58img-zip-ics-firmware-on-htc-sensation/).

as for tmous...why dont we try stock gb tmous ruu then...(anyways we gonna update the firmware and flash ICS)
here is the stock tmous thread ..download it from there..its superfast
TMOUS 1.50 GB RUU
then for firmware flashing..just keep the PG58IMG file(name should be checked) on top of sdcard and boot into bootloader...the bootloader itself will identify it and will ask for update .say yes and the fw will be updated...after that you should remove the PG** file from SDcard otherwise you cant boot into bootloader (coz everytime you boot into bootloader it'll find the file and ask you whether you want to update or not..it'll be a recursive process)
then flashing recovery and rom (see my earlier post)
Just got done with RUU. I'm sad to say it's not working. The wifi just flips on and off.... :[ : [ : [
Is there a froyo I can go back to? Maybe that will work?
And now the bootloader is locked.

exactly same problem with my sensation.
catlog says wifi driver couldnt load too.
wifi activate... and nothing happens.
internet trough cable (PC) works for you too?
I think my Wifichip is broken, how to repair it? any HTC technician here?^^
and if i use gingerbread i cant pass the first Rom settings, after the question of use wifi or mobile date/wifi i get a black screen and cant click anything. just powerbutton for standby and unlock ring.

What is the best way to find the correct RUU for my country? Or it is enough Pyramid Europe?
So basically i want to start "tuning" my Htc SENSATION XE, and i was looking around to install a cool ROM and i found that Revolutionary 6.7.0 with beats audio.
I was reading all the steps in order to successfully install the ROM.
Ofc my phone is alrdy S-OFF with supercid, but KEEP IN MIND IT WAS NOT ENG H-BOOT.
So i've rooted my phone, rebooted and all went smooth.. than i saw i was in need to update the RADIO.img, in order to do that i need the ENG-H BOOT. (HERE COMES THE PROBLEM)
I've flashed the ENG - HBOOT but when i reboot my phone it won't work, it just keep booting and stuck in beatsaudio logo, than reboot again and again.
So i've tried to restore by using a backup that i've done. Also i've deleted the PG58xxx.img and installed 3.3 firmware, nothing to do still not working, still bootloading and restart.
PLS Any help?
Thats what i see in Fastboot mode

I'm not 100 percent sure but your hboot doesn't seem right it should be 1.27. Try flashing the unlock version of 3.32 or 3.33 and try installing a rom.
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app
The hboot you flashed is Completely wrong one
To have correct one.. Flash the 3.32 universal Firmware Then 3.33 firmware
Or alternatively you can flash the jb hboot
For jb hboot go here
http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
Get the pyramid ics one.. From there
And flash it the following way
Connect the phone in bootloader to pc.
Copy the downloaded file to the adb/fastboot folder of your pc.
.. Open a command windows from your adb/fastboot folder
Then type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver htc)
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip (if failed here.. Let me know)
fastboot reboot

flashing a RUU ..except SOFF and CID change (if you changed to superCID) you will lose everything ..so better do a backup of complete rom ...on sdcard ..then flash RUU and check it for yourself ..if you feel like reverting back
then ..just hboot flash like explained earlier
then custom recovery
then restore your backup
My hsdpa is working perfectly but 3g seems dead, could it be a solution to change my RUU?

Hey guys
I've got a bit of a situation. A friend of mine gave me this sensation (carrier T-mobiel) wich was all but bricked. Since I have some experience rooting and flashing custom ROMs, he asked me to give it a try at reviving it.
The owner had been messing around a bit himself and he managed to install clockwordmod recovery. Don't know if he installed any ROM, the device gets stuck on splashscreen.
I did the following; full format, superwipe and install a ARHD ROM. result was te same; stuck on splash-screen.
Then I did another full format, wipe and installed Cyanogenmod, still the same result.
I wanted to try and install 4EXT touch recovery, but the device doesn't respond to any USB connection method so ADB won't work. there's no working ROM so installing through the app won't go either. basicly, I don't know if there's a way to uninstall and install a recovery through flashing.
I have another phone to use to store required files on a SDcard.
these are the things dat DO work:
Bootloader, fastboot and clockworkmod recovery v5.8.0.9
this is the device's bootloader information

Hi,
2 things you can try.
1.Run a GingerBread RUU.
Look HERE
2.If that works,try s-off.
Look HERE
Then,you could change firmwares and do whatever you like.
Hi Malybru,
I understand what you suggested and I'm currently working on it. Only I can't find the right RUU for this phone.
Current CID is: T-MOB003
getting it superCID'd was no go since I can't get it S-OFF with the revolutionary utility. is there another way to S-OFF the phone besides revolutionary?
edit: I downloaded and executed a RUU that apearantly wasn't compatible with the phone. I'm guessing it removed whatever ROM was installed, but didn't install the ROM from the RUU.
I also followed step 3; RUU to restore stock up to the part of relocking the bootloader. I didn't come any further cause I can't find the right RUU.
the phone now only boots into bootloader with "security warning" displayed below "relocked".
I'm guessing, if I find the correct RUU with gingerbread, things will be okay again.
on a sidenote, does a RUU install also returns the recovery to stock?

Hi,
RUU does not matter too much as long as it is Europe and GB.
If you can find a dutch tmo ,then even better.
No harm will come if it is the wrong one.
It will only throw up an error.
This will at least get a ROM on your phone,so that you can s-off .
Revolutionary is the easiest way to s-off.
so, to summarize:
the RUU has to be TMO for either UK or EU. Does the radio need to match the one that's currently displayed in the bootloader?

Hi,
The closer the match,the more chance of success.
But close will do.
Yes,with the same radio.
finding a dutch RUU with this radio for TMO is pretty challenging. So I tried it with a german version (DE). Other then that it matches the radio, and the carrier.
the first method through the RUU.exe failed, it tells me to get the right RUU for my carrier/phone.
So I tried it through flashing with a SDcard. I changed the CID in the notepad file in the PG58IMG.zip to T-MOB003. In bootloader, it checks the file twice and after that nothing happens, the regular bootloader screen is prompted.
Then I tried to flash it through fastboot CMD command, pretty much my last option according to the guid you linked me. This also fails with the notification that it failed to verify 12 signatures.
now I found some universal firmware packages but they don't seem to contain any ROM and recovery, only firmware. are there any of these universal packages as complete RUU?
or is there a way to bypass the signature check with a fastboot command?

Hi,
Try the European RUU with the 10.14 radio that matches yours.
Add your CID in the PG58IMG text file.
Make sure you have the phone in fastboot when you attach your USB cable(it should say "fastboot USB"),and start running the RUU from your PC.
http://db.tt/A7lS7PaD
Here is a link to 4ext touch recovery as a IMG. http://db.tt/KFKpcrhB and here is a pg58img.zip. put the zip file onto the sdcard and boot to boot loader. It will hopefully flash the recovery. If not fast boot flash the IMG. Once you have the recovery installed enable smart flash and then flash the roms. Hopefully that will work for you
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
tnx for the files.
I tried the suggestions you made but flash from sdcard doesn't work; it checks the file once and doesn't do anything after it.
when I try to flash either one of the files through fastboot I get signature verification fail.
my bootloader says RELOCKED, I got that after following step 3.1 in the RUU flash guide to return to stock. I don't know if this is blocking anything from being flashed with the nasty signature notifications?
also, most like because nothing is installed on my device, when I plug in the USB cable when it's turned off, it automatically swithces on displaying SECURITY WARNING below RELOCKED.
Damn, wasn't fast enough. I'm not sure what the best way to approach this is. Either attempt to full s-off the device with revolutionary/ jupuntobear, or re-unlock your boot loader with htcdev, then fastboot flash the recovery. Then install the rom. Then run jupuntobear to full s-off
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
heavy_metal_man said the right thing. First focus on unlocking it on hTCdev.com and afterwards, flash a 4Ext Recovery to make things easyer. Then put the device in bootmenu (not in the Graphic shell) and attach a USB, start any Official European RUU that is Gingerbread - with 1.50 in the numbers.
an update
I managed to get it unlocked again with htcdev.com. After that I flashed 4EXT recovery, succesfully.
only thing now I need to do is installing a ROM. I tried the following without succes so far:
with RUU
I can't find a dutch RUU for TMO with radio 10.14.9035 anywhere so I tried the closest match possible, a german one. through the .exe method I get incompatibility errors. So I extracted the ROM/.zip, added my CID and tried with SDcard flash and fastboot flash, both unsuccesfull. Hboot checks the file twice and does nothing afterwards, and fasboot prompts the message "FAILED (remote ** unknown fail)"
Universal firmware package to make sure I'm on 3.32, so I can install ARHD 6.7.2 or any other ICS rom
I took one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154.
I get the same errors as when I was trying to flash the ROM.zip from the RUU, both with sdcard flash and fastboot flash.
a random Gingerbread ROM
I found this GB ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226564.
I installed it through EXT4. after a reboot it's stuck in a bootloop. No splash screen is shown however, it get's to the withe-field-green-HTC-screen and reboots after, showing the same.
I don't understand what's wrong. I got a good recovery now and the bootloader is unlocked. For some reason the ROM's I tried are incompatible with the current state of the device and I can't figure out why. are dutch T-mobile branded phones so tough to crack or what?
also, after a certain step wich I can't remember, my bootloader doesn't display a radio anymore.
Current bootloader:

EDIT: I would be less restricted in my actions if the damn thing were to be S-OFF. is there any way to get get S-OFF through bootloader/fastboot? All the S-OFF methods and utillities I found so far need the device to have a ROM running.
SOLVED
with help of KGS1992, I managed to restore the device.
- installed a stock GB ROM since I was on hboot 1.18, and to get root acces
- aquired root through adb
- gained S-off with revolutionary
reason why I couldn't manage this before is because I didn't have a genuin stock ROM.
tnx all for the help

Glad you got sorted pal and thanks for letting us know
Two years ago I had this phone and I wanted to flash. I did. I don't remember all the details of it, but I do know that someone on here helped me flash it and it ended up with a European(?) flash on it and I remember he helped me do something with the radio in order that it would take the flash. I also remember that the reason for the flash was so that TMO wouldn't charge me for tethering. In any case, here's the current situation. I sold the phone and the person came and said they were having issues... so I was trying to restore it to a TMOUS ROM. Eventually, I bricked it, and got the qualcom download mode issue. I found the thread on that on how to fix it, and I did. Now the phone boots to the recovery screen and does nothing else. I am unable to flash ANY of TMO's RUU's, some of the PG58IMG.zip files that I've been able to find all fail... very frustrating.
I followed another thread that talked about how to unlock the bootloader, which involved copying the Identifier Token and sending it in to HTC. I received the response, and ran the command and was successful in unlocking it. When the device rebooted, it even showed the Tmobile animated logo. When I go back into the boot loader, it now reads:
My bootloader screen reads as follows:

Browser version: WebKit/534.30
At this point, I would try any flash, any rom, any thing to get this phone working for the guy again. I am skittish about flashing anything from this point so I don't mess up and have to start all over somewhere. Can I flash something working from this point? Can I flash a TMO RUU from here?
I have the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_RADIO_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed.exe as well as several others. Id' rather put this phone onto something stock from tmo but will do a custom as long as the phone is restored to working order.
I won't say I'm a newb... but having been away from flashing for a while, I could really use some step by steps to get going again.
The computer I am using to flash with is a Windows XP machine with all the HTC drivers working etc.
**** UPDATE ****
The phone now boots up as it did when this all started. After I did the token thing and got the bin file from HTC, I applied it and the result was the boot loader info above. It got past the tmobile animated logo and actually into the phone starting up as new including applying all the settings I want. Awesome that the phone now functions like a phone again, but I would still like to flash an official TMO Rom to it to restore it back to like out of the box condition. Any help is appreciated.

I actually have read that... like 6 times to make sure I'm not missing anything. I do remember having to flash the radio back when I did my original flashing, and I think that process is preventing me from using any of the RUU's that I find. Are there any posts/files/resources that will help me flash the radio back to its default, so that I can then flash the RUU?
Also, I am S-ON already, but ANY RUU that I try to flash fails. Do I need to go to S-OFF and then RUU, then back to S-ON?

Then I got the LOCKED with Security Warning. Then I got the unlock bin file from HTC Dev, used that and got back to UNLOCKED, with no security warning. Then I tried Rumunner without any success at all, stayed S-ON.
in any case, after trying just about everything I could think of, I found the viper post, saw that you said you don't need S-OFF to flash new rom... so i gave it a shot. Updated EXT, flashed the firmware, then the rom and it all went very smoothly. Phone's been working fine since. <shrug>
