I rooted my sensation using the revolutionary method to get S=OFF and decided to put the phone back to S=ON so I could sell it and buy the new Galaxy S2 when it comes out this month.
I went through the process on the development forum to get S=ON and I used the correct RU file for TMOUS.
I made sure the CID was properly set using fastboot and it was set to TMOB010 so I could not flash to wrong RU file.
I flashed the RU file and it flashed fine and said the process completed with no errors.
I used the proper fastboot command to write the secureflag to 3 and the HBoot screen showed S=OFF and so far so good.
I rebooted the phone and the TMobile Sens ROM booted up fine to the home screen.
I shut the phone off figuring the process had been completed fine and when I turned the phone on an hour later, it booted to the HBoot screen with a "security warning" message.
Now all the phone will do is boot to the HBoot screen, I tried to re-flash the RU file like the forum stated but I keep getting a battery low error even with a fully charged battery.
Now all I have is a phone that only boots to the HBoot screen with a "security warning message"
The HBoot version is showing the following:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.17.0008
RADIO-10.11.9007.15.M
eMMC-boot
I hope I do not have a 300 dollar paper weight, any help would be appricetd please.

It's not bricked if you can turn it on... I can't help you much though... Seeing you got S-ON, maybe you could try to get S-OFF again and then start over?

I may sound like a noob, but I never used the PM function on this site. I am so frustrated I want to throw the dam thing through the wall.
I can't understand why I keep getting the battery is below 30% error every time I try and run the RU file to re-flash the ROM. I have tried two different fully charged batteries with no luck.
Thank god I have my G2x and my Nexus S as backups, at least they be rooted and un-rooted very easily, unlike this POS.
If your H-Boot now reads S=On, technically there is no evidence to suggest that you have done anything, unless they can find a problem some other way, as you have said you used the correct ROM and CID. So you could try and return the handset under warranty. Someone correct me if im wrong
I also tried copying the RU programs rom.zip file and renaming it to PG581MG.zip and putting in on the SD card and tried flashing it through the Hboot screen but it scrolls thru the file and never ask me if I want to apply the update.
The fastboot function is probably enabled in the stock ROM i flashed and I am stuck in the HBoot screen. I am totally stumped.
Anyone out there willing to try and get this thing operational. I will pay you for your trouble as long as you are trustworthy.

That's because the zip should be PG58IMG.zip and not PG581MG.zip
1.try different battery
2. Can you go into recovery? If yes try wiping from there. Also I believe in hboot there is factory reset option
3. Discharge battery and charge it up.again

I appreciate the info, I have tried everything I know and I am stuck on the HBoot screen. I am going to try a different battery and try letting the original completely discharge and re-charge it and go from there. This is last sensation I am going to buy, I have never in all my years of rooting phones had a product that is a pain in the ass like this one has been.
Shame on HTC, what is the point of having an android product if not to root it and flash a custom ROM. I paid full retail for the thing with my hard earned money so I should be able to do with it what I want too.
I came over from the Nexus S and never had this many problems and complicated procedures going back to the stock ROM.
I am back to my G2x, at least I can easily root and un-root it and it runs the CM7 just fine. Not like the HTC POS.

I finally fixed it!!!
I did have the right file name PG58IMG, but I kept getting an error when I tried to flash it through HBoot when the zip file was loading i.e. invalid image, no image found etc.
I tried the other RU file for TMOUS and extracted the rom.zip, renamed it and flashed it and it finally took and I am up and running.
I apologize for being upset but this was the longest time I ever spent trying to recover a phone, but I have learned allot from this experience and have taken some great notes and will put them in a thread when I get some free time.
Thanks to everyone out there who helped me through this.

I am having the exact same problem from doing the EXACT same thing you did. My HBOOT, radio and everything else is exactly the same as yours as well. So my question is, was the RUU that worked properly for the older T-Mobile one? RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714 <-- This one??
Hi. I have similiar problem, but I can't extract zip file from RUU. With HD2 RUU I could unpack it with WINRAR, but with Sensation RUU there is no such option.
How did you extract rom.zip file from RUU... .exe file?
I am stuck at the same place can you please tell me how to extract the zip file from ruu and what is called I would really appreciate it

Run the executable up to the initial screen and leave it open. Then open My Computer and browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp and you will see a folder with a long random looking name like {17ad63h46f09a0c883058}. Open this folder and you will see a heap of files - images for branding, scripts and the like, as well as a file called rom.zip. Open this file and in it will be radio.img, which you can extract and rename as PG58IMG.zip.
This is how I extracted the stock radio from my Telstra RUU anyway.

THX a LOT!
Well I've been having this problem for a while, my phone goes into a bootloop whenever I restart it. It shows the white HTC screen, goes black, then the white HTC screen...over and over again.
The only way I have found to get it to boot up normally is when I connect a USB cable to it
But if I remove the cable and reboot, I get the same problem again.
Any ideas? Has anyone had this happen before??
That may be a Hardware issue. They easiest way I can think of is to RUU back to Stock, and Reformat the SD Card. If it still does it, then it may be a Hardware related issue.

I've had that happen a couple times but it was because it was something I did/flashed, I agree with prboy, ruu back and format memory card (save your stuff to the computer first)- I've forgotten to save first a couple times

I'll definitely try that, I don't know if this shed anymore light on it but my sdcard doesn't mount through my phone anymore either...happened around the same time as the restarting thing
But I'll tr and see what happens, if not I'll just take it in to sprint, I know it can't be something I flashed, I've been on stock for a while because of my utility

I would start by Formatting the SD Card. Then if that doesn't resolve issue. Format the SD Card again, and then RUU. If at that point the issue is still present, it's time to take it in to Sprint. Out of curiosity, are you using a custom Kernel ? Reason I ask is that I've run across something slightly similar after Flashing an Experimental Kernel Dirty. Meaning I did not wipe Cache, or Dalvik before Flashing. Mind you this was a very long time ago, in my HERO days. But I seem to remember it acting sort of like the symptoms you described.

Getting the same issues. I've tried ruu through both the exe and pg06 img. Tried factory reset with no luck, in the stock recovery ive wiped everything with no luck also. It's read by fastboot and i can issue commands, flashing through fastboot just gives me a sig verification failure. I've tried every method i've found and none have worked. Happened after downgrading to 2.2. I got temproot and went to permroot to go into this. I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and it was successful. I cant access my sdcard since flashing the 2.2 ruu reverted it to stock and i cant get into the system to disk drive it. It boots for about 3 seconds then reboots. If any of the mmcblk... commands were mistyped or something was done wrong, how would i go about checking or fixing them if thats even possible? Any help or leads would be amazing.

I had temp root and in between gaining perm root this happened. Root does me no good if I'm boot looped and can't even adb. I'm trying to get the phone to boot. Or read through adb. I can't fast boot any of the partitions either so I'm basically stuck in limbo

Have you tried booting it up while connected to a USB cord? That works for me because my phone will otherwise go into a bootloop whenever I restart it

Must have missed that somehow. My bad . But on to the issue at hand. I'm wondering if maybe your SD Card went wonky. I would remove the SD Card, format it. Load the PG06IMG back onto the Card, reinstall. Then try to flash it. Of course backup your card to the PC first.

Tried this with same result. flashing through hboot works for the 2.2 ruu, but im still stuck in the bootloop.
I also tried flashing a custom recovery via hboot, but the pgo6img loads then doesnt ask me if i want to update or not. I have literally no idea where to go or what to check.

I was just about to say that, if the name of the file isn't correct, the bootloader won't pick it up.
Yeah i know, i was just too lazy to type it out. I know what im doing as far as general modding and flashing, and I actually managed to fix it. I'm not positive how but I used the unroot back to stock guide for the stock locked bootloader. After flashing it through hboot I tried the 2.3.4 RUU. Still bootlooped but I was at stock with locked bootloader. I then used htcdev to reunlock the bootloader and I was then able to flash partitions through fastboot. I flashed cwm and was able to adb through it. I basically just reran through the rooting phase and gained temproot. From here I redid the steps to engineer hboot and finally received s-off. After this it booted normally. I might be leaving steps out but if anyone needs specifics, just pm me and maybe I can figure it out again for you.

Well I mounted my SD card and put an OP back on the sd card, installed through TWRP and I'm just stuck in a boot loop. Have tried several differnt OP's and all I get is the boot loop. Can someone please help me correct what I screwed up. Everything is gone, when I look under Android secure there is nothing.
I'm not sure what you mean by OP? Maybe you mean ROM? Anyway you need to give more information, what are your bootloader details?

Lol I have a lot of spare time on my hands recently, I can't work right now due to health problems so I spend a lot of time on here. I've taken a lot from the XDA community over the years so I feel it's the right thing to do to try to give back and help people where my knowledge permits. I love learning, especially when it comes to Android and I think this is the best place to do it. I think the next step is to actually try to learn how to develop a ROM, but that'll have to wait until I get a new PC.

What would be a good RUU and how would you flash it? I don't want to lose root. Went through to much to achive it.
Root isn't the thing you should be worried about, the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery are what you actually need to flash custom ROMs. All root does is give you administrative access to the root directories on your phone.
You are s-off so it doesn't matter which RUU you use, click the link in my signature and you'll find RUU links in there. Your bootloader will remain unlocked and you will retain your s-off status through the RUU process. You don't "flash" an RUU, it's an exe file so you run it like you would run any other exe program on a pc. An RUU returns your phone to being completely stock, including recovery, so you'll need to flash TWRP again afterwards.

Would you be willing to explain the steps of installing the RUU. I think I know, just don't want to screw that up also. Once I get that far I should be fine flashing TWRP.
No worries, it's an exe file so it's pretty easy. Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your pc, then run the RUU exe program, it's as simple as that. Just follow the prompts on the pc, you just need to say ok a couple of times.
Just make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled, make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.
Just make sure you don't disconnect your phone while the RUU is running, sometimes it might look like the process is freezing (it sat on 27% for a while when I did it) but just let it continue, it should be fine.

Just tried running the RUU and it was not able to connect with my OneXL, it had been so long since I have done any of this I forgot when I was flashing TWRP almost a year ago, both my laptop and desktop were not able to connect to the phone, something to do with the USB ports (Windows 8). However, I have an old laptop with XP that will connect to the phone. I am leaving for work at this point and will not be able to run the RUU until late tonight. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks

I think it has something to do with the newer technolgy of the high speed USB. But, soon as I hook up my old XP laptop it picks it up right away and switches into Fastboot USB. It's done, now all I have to do is put TWRP back on the phone and I should be back in business. Thanks
Okay, I ran the new RUU 1.85. I can't seem to get TWRP installed. I downloaded super user# and it says I do not have root. However when I boot into bootloader it says
***UNLOCKED***
EVITA PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-111111111
HBOOT-2.14.0000
S
Didn't think I would need help getting TWRP reinstalled but I do. If you could give me a little more help getting TWRP back on my phone. Thank you

I forgot, the phone is just unlocked. I need to re-ROOT. Thanks for your help.
Hi All!
Recently i flashed TWRP and Cynogenmod 10.2.1 stable to my HTC Telestra One XL (evita)
I unlocked boot-loader
I successfully rooted
But I shut down once, and when i tried to boot, it got stuck in a boot-loop
Upon many retries, it suddenly wont turn on
when I charge it it only has a flashing red light but it wont even turn on, no screen not buttons; nothing!
And if I plug it in to my PC, the pc keeps sounding the USB Connected sound multiple times over a short period of 30 seconds to 2 minutes and then it gives off multiple shaky beeps
I hope this is enough info to let anyone help out!
Thank You in Advance
EDIT:
when connected to a pc it shows drivers is ready to use but tries to install QHUSB_DLOAD but fails and latest RUU does not detect
Thx again
What is the exact full filename of the ROM zip that you flashed? When a device is showing up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in Windows it usually means it's bricked.

Just found out:
a friend of mine tried to flash a file named "cm-10.0.0-evita" and it gave off a message saying that this phone is not rooted or missing supersu/ something along those lines
before that he wiped sd card (whole thing)...
and then it went off from there
NOTE: its a phone with mess with, but still want to fix even though its just a side phone we barely use....help appreciated
So does it power on at all?

How did he try to flash it -_- these vague responses make it very hard to help. Bottom line is you can try pressing and holding power until the light goes off and then power and volume down to get the bootloader up, if that doesn't work you can try the evita jet tool to try to unbrick it. Bricks such as yours are not recoverable 9 times out of 10.
It looks like your only option is to get a jtag repair done. I wouldn't bother trying to do it yourself unless you're a fully experienced electronic engineer or the like. I'm not sure how many jtag repairers there are in Australia but I'm guessing Google should be able to reveal that information. Howdy from Melbourne.

he placed the cyanogen mod on the phones sd card, then he wiped sd card, after that he used the install function on twrp it gave him a message that his phone is not rooted and if he would like to root it, he accepted, then it rebooted into twrp, and he tried again to install, same message appeared and then he gave up and shut it down...(sorry for vague terms, please bear with me, still trying to learn the ropes of talking on this forum)
I gotta say, this is all very odd :/ How did he install anything if he wiped the SD card after copying it over? :/ hmmmm In any case, you CAN try he jet tool as per my last post before getting a jtag. You'll need a linux install or Bootable USB stick/CD/DVD though.
My guess is that the only thing he installed was SuperSU. That'd be why it booted straight back into TWRP.

Hi guys!
im back
I JTAG'd the phone overseas, and it came back, surely enough, working, but now another problem arises,
the guy apparently unlocked the bootloader, S-Off, and installed CM with android 4.3.1. the phone boots, everything is well, but for times from 10 seconds to minutes of usage it just turns off, the Hboot shows
***tampered***
***relocked***
any idea wth is wrong with it now?
it does not reboot from power menu, and does not do anything really since I cant keep it on for more than a few minutes at most. I cannot keep it on long enough to unlock the bootlaoder anymore, and I cannot boot into TWRP (as the guy told me he put it on)
da hell do I Do now? any help appreciated
Try an RUU, any Evita RUU is fine if you have s-off.

There's only one way to run an RUU, and that's to connect your phone and initiate the program in Windows. You're s-off so all security checks are disabled.

I Just ran one, Unlocked bootloader, on Cm11 snapshot after re-root and all that crap done, should be alright now
Here is my problem.
I have an HTC M8 with Verizon, was doing an upgrade in HTC Sync Manager
during the upgrade/update, it stopped. I was on android 4.4.3 I believe
I have never had this phone rooted, it is S-ON, Locked, bootloader is locked, HTC Dev does not let me get the token to unlock it. still shows official software in the HBOOT screen. never flashed anything to it.
when i first turn it on, goes to white screen with HTC logo. I can get to HBOOT, and recovery. Odd thing it, the recovery Doesn't read anything on the ext SD card or the internal storage. Already tried formatting the SD card multiple times, so i can't do anything from the recovery but wipe and factory reset.
when i plug the phone to a PC, HTC sync manager picks up the phone, but with no android verision, no Sense version, nothing, just the phone itself. In terminal, ADB does not recognize the device being attached, so can't do anything from ADB.
After researching, I am lead to believe it has something to do with the storage partition, not being partitioned properly or something along those lines. I can't write anything to the storage, my PC usb only picks the phone up as a CD Drive, so i can't add or remove anything from it.
I am willing to pay someone that can fix this for me PLEASE!!!
Again, I can get to HBOOT, Fastboot, and recovery,
recovery does not read the internal or external storage

Does hboot read sdcard?
You want to run RUU through hboot (not recovery), either using sdcard or fastboot method.

Best part is the s-on ones don't wipe /data. They can be flashed by both s-on and s-off devices.
The s-off ones do and are also pre-rooted and can only be flashed while s-off.

Good to know it won't wipe data, unfortunately I had already tried so much crap, even HTC support had me wipe, factory reset,all with no resolution. I was screwed.
I was only trying to upgrade from 4.4 android to 5, using HTC own sync manager, and it failed.
I don't think I will be messing with anything software, Rom, firmware, recovery, RUU, adb and fastboot related any time soon. I shouldnt even know half this stuff, and I didn't until last night when my phone went to hell and back.
