This makes me clear. Your MID is correct and there is no problem with that.

In fastboot mode , adb can not see your phone. To check your device in fastboot,

you have to type

fastboot devices

It will list your device.

From your post I see that the zip is not detected by the phone. It may be a silly problem..

If you are on windows , then go to folder option and uncheck "hide extension for known file" and then, Check that you have the correct file name i.e. PG58IMG.zip and not PG58IMG.zip.zip .

Check that the PG58IMG.zip has ypur CID and MID .

Make sure that the file is not corrupted by checking its md5 checksum.

Please format your sdcard (full format , not quick format ) to FAT32 and try again.

Can you boot into recovery ??? If so then boot into recovery and check whether your SDCARD is working or not.
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
If you are on windows , then go to folder option and uncheck "hide extension for known file" and then, Check that you have the correct file name i.e. PG58IMG.zip and not PG58IMG.zip.zip <---where exactly is that option, meaning which folder on windows?

if i format my sd, it will wipe my sd clean wont it? let me backup my sd real fast, also how do i proceed to fully format my sd?

I can boot into recovery, and my sd does work in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
In windows file explorer ( be in any folder) it will not show the file extension by default. So if it shows a file name PG58IMG.zip , it may be incorrect. To check this , click on folder option ( either from tools or view option , I am not sure as I am not in front of a windows box right now) in explorer and uncheck the option "hide extension for known file"

After this you can see the exact file name of any file . Now make sure that the filename is PG58IMG.zip not PG58IMG.zip.zip .
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
i unchecked the hide extension for known file. and it still remains a PG58IMG.zip file.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
This means that the file name is correct. Check the other things i.e the PG58IMG.zip has your CID and MID . Make sure that you have put the PG58IMG.zip on the sdacrd root not inside any folder. (In your previous post you have said that the md5 checksum is correct. So I assume that you have a good PG58IMG.zip.)

Please format your sdcard (full format , not quick format ) to FAT32 and try again.
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
i understand that i need to put the zip file into the sd and not inside a folder/file. i have been doing this.

How do i reformat the sd card? I dont see the option anywhere...
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Do it on your pc.
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
This is such a tedious problem. This time, after i had fully formatted my sd, i put the zip file back onto the sd, and turned the phone on and it started to update from the zip file...HOWEVER at the conclusion, it stated

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot.

...

SCRATCH THE ABOVE STATEMENT!

i goofed around, and tried to update with the 3.30 instead of the 3.24, and guess what? It worked instantly...i am ready for the next steps!!!!
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Glad to see that it worked.:D

"CID incorrect" it is your fault . You did not choose the right firmware which has your CID.

Just give me your CID . I will upload a custom firmware v3.30 for you.

And hit thanks button dear.:D:D
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
There is a slight problem, first i must say thank you for ur assistance. Second, i love the aqutro vittro whatever, software, blows my mind with its sleekness. However, i cannot seem to connect to the computer....through adb or any method..

also, wouldnt my CID remain the same?

Third, i cannot find the thanks button...
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hei just look at the left side of the "quote" button when you reply any post. You will see the "thank" button

For adb you must go through this guide.
[HTC Sensation] ojdyar:
Hi,

My Sensation XE has been doing the same loop process mentioned a couple of pages back - when I go into bootloader and then press fastboot it will come up with the green text:

SD Checking...

Loading...[PG58DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading...[PG58DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

(and more as in the earlier post...)

This text then disappears and goes back to the initial bootloader screen (the one you get when you type in "adb reboot bootloader" or turn on with the down volume button held). I've had a look on the SD card and can't find any file 'PG58DIAG.zip' or 'PG58IMG.zip', but perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.

This doesn't seem to be causing me any issues (i.e. it loads the system normally), but I just want to know if it is safe for me to try to now put my phone into S-OFF so that I can get superCID to flash the latest European RUU onto the device?

I've written a more detailed post at the link below about what I've done. Would really appreciate any suggestions on here or on that thread!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23171441

[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Well , that is very very normal. If you select fastboot , this will scan your sdcard and search for those files (PG58DIAG.zip, PG58IMG.zip, PG58DIAG.nbh etc) . This is a regular routine and meant for firmware upgrade via fastboot rather say bootloader. A firmware may include HBOOT, RADIO, SPLASH, and other system images .

I hope it makes clear.

Now there is big difference between HTCDEV unlock and S-OFF. HTCdev unlock gives you an partially unlocked bootloader . It allows you to install custom ROM . But it will not allow you to will not help to upgrade firmware and other advanced stuff like SuperCID and easy downgrading/Upgrading of HBOOT. Many of sensation users had problem with HTCDEV unlock.

S-OFF gives you full freedom to change firmware , install custom rom , recovery , splash etc. Even you can flash any RUU after being superCID.

But you want to flash European RUU. Why ??? Whether you do S-OFF or HTCdev unlock , you will lose warranty. Then why stock RUU ? You can use custom ROM like ARHD or RCMIX . They both are very good and stable and also based on European RUU. They are prerooted.

I would suggest you to achieve S-OFF using Revolutionary S-OFF Guide .

Then do SuperCID . and You are done. Play with anyfirmware and custom ROM or even RUU.

Remember flashing an RUU will overwrite your bootloader, splash, radio, and other deep system related files . whereas a custom ROM will not overwrite bootloader, splash, radio, and other deep system related files .. A custom ROM only writes on SYSTEM, DATA, BOOT and CACHE..
[HTC Sensation] ojdyar:
Thanks for the speedy and highly detailed response! I was concerned that it wasn't normal because of the "No image!" part of the green writing, but thanks for letting me know that it all seems to be okay.

Cheers for the advice RE: RUUs. I'm not at all fussed which one I go with - I just don't want the combination of pre-loaded apps such as KKbox and Weibo and certain screens coming up by default in Taiwanese/with a Taiwanese keyboard, despite having set the language to English. I figured it would be easiest to just go with the European RUU that I would have got had I been in Europe when I bought the phone. I'll have a look at the custom ROMs you mention.

Just to double check a basic point - if the custom ROMs don't affect the radio, does that mean that I need to separately flash a radio for the device to work well in Europe, or do I still keep the original radio that was on the phone?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Well for radio , it depends on ROM and your firmware. Whenever you flash a custom rom , a specific radio is required. For Gingerbread based ROM, you may have to flashed the recommended radio separately. you can do it via fastboot.

But for ICS based ROM , you need not flash the specific radio as this is included in the firmware package. Once you have flashed the firmware package , the radio is also flashed.

So after flashing the firmware , simply you can flash the ICS based ROM without thinking about radio.

And off course , if the radio performance is not upto the mark you can flash a custom radio along with a matching RIL file. This thread is good enough for that.

To judge the radio performance you should give your phone at least a week time.
[HTC Sensation] ojdyar:
Thanks for all the info on radios and letting me know about the difference between gingerbread/ICS. I've had a hunt around for the original RUU (1.7.709.104) to keep as a backup, but haven't found it yet, so think I will wait until it gets posted somewhere before doing this all!
[HTC Sensation] mukden:
Thread stickied, nice work mate
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Thanks a lot.
[HTC Sensation] wookied89:
IDK

idk if it's widely known but, say you wanna flash ARHD 6.5.0... obviously you need 3.32 firmware. Now what if it's buggy or the mods you use aren't out for it yet in my case. you can just flash back to OR restore your backup no matter the firmware requirements :rolleyes: lol i had no clue and just figured i'd share. Thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
no , NAND backup do not backup or restore Firmware ( i.e hboot , Radio , ...etc )

you have to downgrade Firmware ( according to the version that fit the Rom you will install ) then restore a

suitable

backup if you want to
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
+1 . Don't be in that assumption. Nand backup will not restore the firmware.
[HTC Sensation] ouyangziyi:
thanks a lot!;)
[HTC Sensation] DrAgKurt:
I thought backup using CWM recovery will restore the firmware as well if used. Thanks for the headsup... :)
[HTC Sensation] creonx:
Which of the total available custom ROMs is based on the current finally ICS, which was released a few days ago?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
ICS ROM based on 3.32.401.105 base is the latest till date. and this may be the first official release by HTC.

105 means world wide english. So the last three digit may be different for different career.
[HTC Sensation] creonx:
okay, thanks. but ... world wide english, no german language included or what does it mean?

and which fw/radio do i need to run this?

greetz ...
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Actually it is multilingual in setup. In the first setup it shows several language option including German . But I am not sure whether it will have a German keyboard too. You can check it . Just try ARHD 6.5.1
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
in 3.32.401.105 , the Part 401 is for region or carrier ( i.e language, specific carrier ... etc )

the Part 105 is for the Sensation type ( i.e Sensation or Sensation XE )

if it says 3.32.401.

105

this means it is the Base for Sensation XE ( beats audio )

if it says 3.32.401.

5

this means it is the Base for Sensation ( NO beats audio )
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Thanks for correcting me dear...
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
I was using the classic version, allowing me not to be able to see the thanks button.

Once again thanks.

I followed the guide, and correctly reinstalled the ADB drivers, and yet my phone still does not connect to the computer. any suggestions?

Also, i would recommend everyone to not get the Virtuous Quattro ICS 4.0.3 <------extremely glitchy, for example app i open whether its something simple as text messaging, or as intricate as a advanced game, the program or app shuts down on itself...rendering the phone useless..

my CID is T-MOB010
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Can you hear a sound when you connect your phone to your windows desktop ?? or can you check in device manager that any new entry is appeared when you connect your phone in computer ??

Boot into recovery . connect your phone to pc and choose "toggle usb storage" and see whether the sdcard is mounted on pc .

If all these fails , then you may have a faulty cable or faulty port ..
[HTC Sensation] Voklav:
Hello everyone. I have bricked sensation. (or semi-brick). Phone was completely stock (S-on , stock Rom , locked bootloader)

I download stock ICS rom and put it in DOWNLOAD folder.

Then i changed CID ... and regulary check for update ...and i have already downloaded.

So i instaled and this is a big mistake :D:D

now i have HTC logo and reboot after reboot.

bootloader is loading. hboot version is 1.27.00 s-on...

so? :/ In this moment .. phone is not here...but tomorow will be.

p.p.

[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Where did you download stock ics ROM from? Damn toy post the link? And give you complete details of bootloader screen. Try cleaning the cache and dalvik. You are s-on. This makes situation worrysome. Find your phone's official ics Ruu. If every thing fails then you can run the Ruu.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Hello everyone!

Is there availlable for download any ICS stock version? I mean one that has been released after the update for the nordic countries. And I wish it contained Romanian language. Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hi, please follow this thread.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thank you musarraf172. I'm still reading.

Question: is there anything wrong if I somehow find the update OTA and install it on a s-off-ed phone? What could happen?

*I'm running a stock ROM, 1.50.401 and supercid. Will I be able to find OTA in these circumstances?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
No damage will happen. It will wipe your recovery and install stock recovery update the hboot with a official locked version (never mind you can change it any time as you are s-off ) , update the radio , splash , etc. But it will still remain s-off.

And you will get an unrooted rom.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I understand, but with superCID and s-off, will I still have access to OTA? (Romania).

And thank you again, I pressed the 'thank you' button, too.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
To get ota you must be on stock. you will not receive ota until you have some Romanian career cid. I think to download ota s-off will not be problem. Automatic flashing may not work.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
I am on stock beacause I changed my CID to a nordic country one and I received the update, but there was no Romanian jeyboard option there so I had to go back to 2.3. Now I changed my CID back to Europe (HTC__032), but no update. Any news about a stock ICS RUU?

Why "Automatic flashing may not work"? It worked before, no problem, is there anything new now?

Is this (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed) a stock ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Cowboy2199:
That is a stock rom. You can tell by the words "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe" and "release". Meaning it's a stock release RUU. Oh and it's been "signed" by the manufacturer.
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
So its either my port or cable...this blows. Im assuming i would have to go through warranty to get this problem resolved..

Also, i just wanted to let you know that, when i connect to my computer, it does make a sound.

lastly, is there a better version of ICS available, aside from the virtuous quattro ICS 4.0.3 im running?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
If it makes sound that means your phone is somehow detected . Does your device manager shows a new hardware in the list ? ( Or your device listed ? at least as unknown device or unrecognized device) Can you upload a screenshot of your device manager while your phone is connected ?? Did you switch on usb debugging ? Or boot into recovery , then press "toggle usb" . If the port is good your sdcard will pop up in pc .

What do you think about open sensation ? ( It has Bluetooth issue )

If you want full function ICS with ASOP look , then use ARHD 6.5.1 with shnizlon theme ASOP theme )
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Guys, after updated to ICS, with the zip provided here, after every restart, my phone show a message like it updates Android or something. What is going on?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
This should be happening at every restart. It happens only when you do the first restart or clear cache and dalvik cache as the system rebuilds the cache.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thanks for the reply musarraf172. My phone always show that message. What could be wrong?

This SHOULD be happening at every restart? Or not, I didn't get your last message right.
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
I just noticed that the device manager states that "Android UBS Devices" is connected labeled "My HTC"

The current software im running also restricts me from using my Bluetooth, Im cool with any new/better software that will grant me freedom from auto-closing of my apps. Where could i find the ARHD 6.5.1 with shnizlon theme ASOP theme. I remember finding an "ARHD" link before, but i needed to be SuperCID, which i am capable of doin now IF i could get my phone to connect to the computer...
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
It is good to see that your phone is connected to pc. Now download android sdk and set up adb .

Once you are done , kill htc sync in task manager . Now open command prompt and cd to the adb directory. And check whether your device is detected by adb by running "adb devices "
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Did you install google wallet ?? Users whop installed or used google wallet have this issue.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
No I didnt. All that I installed is: YM, Blacklist, Astro and some English dictionary.

After every restart my phone show a message as if it updates Android. And some applications seem to be updatet, 8 as far as I can see.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It shouldn't actually happen every time, it should only happen when you change the dalvik cache. My custom ROM based on the latest ICS build does NOT do it and neither does my Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
Here is the weird part, in the device manager it shows the above mentioned. However, in the task manager, there is no htc program running in processes, let alone HTC sync. Therefore, i went to device manager and uninstalled whatever driver was responsible for my phone, and then re-downloaded the ADK files. BUT when i went to install the driver, it stated that i already had the "Android 4.0.3 (API15)" installed. then i went to open a cmd box from the adk folder, and typed adb devices and all it showed was:

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
But why did you uninstalled the HTC driver? :confused::confused:It is required to run adb.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Thank you EddyOS.

What could be wrong then?
[HTC Sensation] AeMr:
My thing is I done everything right until with the firmware and everything. Maybe I had a bad file or something. I don't know now, I'm just really annoyed.

My phone has pretty much rendered useless, I can't get to recovery because something I never seen pops and I can't just upload another firmware over it unless I wipe caches, but I can't even get to the DAMN caches because I can't get to the DAMN CWM recovery which sucks btw. Ughh!!!!!

Has anyone else had this type of issue, better yet a solution to these issues?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Your post does not clearly tells is what is your exact problem. Be specific. Are you getting a boot loop? Can you boot into bootloader? If so tell us the complete details of the bootloader screen. What did you do tell us exactly. Then only people here can help you.

My only problem is my battery get very hot during installation or while booting in the loop if it get stuck. I some times feel i am going to burn the phone.

While in bootloop , your battery may be a little more hot . But during installation it should not. I would advise to check the battery health. Are using original battery ?

Some compatible battery sometimes generate more heat while dissipating .
[HTC Sensation] scummymoney:
well i uninstalled it due to the fact, that there was no HTC sync, therefore i foolishly presumed that the HTC driver was part of the HTC Sync. Should I just go to the HTC website and reinstall the driver.

1. V3.32 is only for ics.

2. Gingerbread will not at all work on v3.32 firmware.

3. V3.12 will work on both ics and GB.
