hi malybru,

i know its a lot to ask, but can you please download this ruu if you have time

https://mega.co.nz/#!p9oxQKZZ!Gbwvk3mfbkJiTP0ZkXcksiMCgR1E4s1UGLUxUvyEIvw

and extract the rom.zip, i want to know if it'll turn out corrupted as well, and i should just give up with my phone or i'm doing something wrong. in case, you'r able to extract it and it allows you to modify, please include my model id. please, i have tried everything and have downloaded multiple ruu's and tried

thanks
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
First, you can't flash modified zips, unless your device is S-OFF. So, if it isn't, don't even bother trying.

If it is indeed S-OFF, then follow these steps:

Extract the rom.zip from the RUU.

Open the zip and extract all files to a folder.

If the zip is corrupted, you should get a CRC Error.

If you get a CRC error, try a different RUU.

If not, then, modify the extracted android-info.txt (Read the appropriate instructions from the guide if you aren't sure.)

Select all the files in the folder, right-click and select add to archive.

Please ensure that you select "store" as the compression mode & zip as the archive format.

That's it, you're done.

A much easier way than this would be to use SuperCID. This too requires S-OFF. Steps are elaborated in the guide.

nice

:D
[HTC Sensation] confli©t:
unfortunately, i'm S-ON, looks like i'm really screwed, end of the line for me, tried everything. thanks kgs1992 and malybru for the info and trying to help :good:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I managed to rebuild the rom.zip file using this method,but now it is twice the size of the original.

Is this normal?

[MENTION=4446921]confli©t[/MENTION]

Can you not superCID as kgs1992 suggests?

:)

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Hi,

OOPS!

I thought you were s-off.

:o
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
You could try a few things. Begin by describing the problem & what you did, in detail, here.

Yeah, By default, there is some compression used, I think, so when you put it on store the size is much bigger.

I think it should work fine with normal compression, however, I no longer have a Sensation to try this.

Besides, it's pointless since his phone isn't S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] confli©t:
hi malybru,

i also tried rebuilding the zip file, doubled the size. i cannot supercid since im s-on but luckily i can change cid, changed cid to HTC__001, so i can use european ruu, but my hboot is 1.29.00 (for sensation xe), and i only have a sensation, that's why i'm trying to use a sensation xe ruu, but it wont let me because of the model id difference, thats what im trying to change

thanks
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you have a Sensation,you cannot run an XE RUU.

You cannot change your phone like that.

You must run a Sensation RUU.

[HTC Sensation] moha_moha20106:
there is no question about rom.zip !!

why i can't full copy the rom.zip

if i do that, the archive is damaged or incorrect spicified

i go to temp folder and open the random folder by date modified, then open the secound folder named with another random alpha/num.

copy the rom.zip and paste to desktop after rename it

when i try to open it , the message shows is : ! C:\Users\moha\Desktop\PG58IMG.zip: Unexpected end of archive

how to full copy ??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Sorry,but you will still need the wire trick.

Hello everone I need your help.

I have a HTC sensation brought from india. I rooted it and now i want to return it to stock. I read the kgs1992 guide. My phone information is

revolutionary

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

CID- HTC_038

HBOOT-1.27.1100

RADIO- 11. 24A. 3504. 31_M

OpenADSP- v05. 6. 0. 2226. 00. 0418

eMMC- boot

mid-PG5813000

I tried this ruu RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_India_1.45.720.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_207653_signed.

but the update didn't work.

Please can anyone tell me the correct ruu.

Thanks very much.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That particular RUU will take you back to GingerBread.

Is that what you want?

Is your phone a normal Sensation,or XE?

Are you supercid?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Cheenu Chellathurai:
That update didn't work. The update told me that i have got the wrong RUU.

My phone is a normal sensation.

I don't care if it takes back me to gingerbread, all i want is to return the phone software to stock

Please can you point me to the correct RUU?

I do not know much about supercid. But when i use flashboot to find the cid , it shows HTC_038. Because of this I think I do not have supercid.

Thanks very much.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

A better RUU would probably be THIS ONE

:)
[HTC Sensation] Cheenu Chellathurai:
hi Malybru

when i use fastboot to find cid it shows HTC_038. So i think i dont have have super cid. If I am wrong please correct me.

the RUU which you sent me, will it work for sensation without super cid?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It will not harm anything.

If it does not work,it will just show error.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Cheenu Chellathurai:
Hi

I tried the RUU which u send me , but still it says that this RUU is not the correct one.

Please can you send me any other RUU
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The RUU is fine.

You have 3 choices.

1.Super cid in section 4 of the guide.

2.Flash the RUU manually and adding your cid.Also in section 4

3.Just flash a Stock ROM

:)
[HTC Sensation] Cheenu Chellathurai:
I

I decided to flash the RUU manually.

I am only a beginner so I have a question

Does the RUU which you send me support my CID (HTC_038). If not then I should add my CID to PGIMG.zip by following the step "4.2 Adding your CID to the PGIMG.zip" , right ?.

Thanks for helping.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if it doesn't support it then yes you can add it to pg58img.zip

by the way i saw that you are on S-OFF

you can simply supercid and then use the ruu.exe
[HTC Sensation] Ravanelli:
Error everytime I do command "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

It's said "update partition data to SIF partition" then "Write sector fail"

[HTC Sensation] Cheenu Chellathurai:
HIi Malybru and rzr86

I successfully flashed this software "Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_7.2" by copying it to my memory card and then flashing my phone. Now my phone is very fast, doesn't heat up for trivial actions, and battery consumption is low. Thank you Malybru and rzr86 for helping me.

[HTC Sensation] stefan75:
Hello I was also wondering how to get back to stock sense so i can sell my phone? is there a RUU for me or do i have to downgrade my firmware?

I am s-off and i am supercid

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you are just selling it,you could either run THIS RUU

Or simply flash a STOCK ROM

The RUU will clear your phone and clean it completely.

With the stock ROM,you will need to wipe your phone clean of all your stuff.

You do not need to downgrade your phone,or s-on

:)
[HTC Sensation] stefan75:
This won't brick my device or anything? Just wondering:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

No,it will not brick your device.

[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I am superCID, and I downloader ruu from here:

http://htc.vi8.info/Stock-RUU/ Is that correct?

What I need to do? Just flash it, or change cid and firmware?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
so you are supercid

no there is no need to change anything at all

with supercid you can install any ruu

also it will take care too of the firmware

edit:a ruu.exe takes care of firmware(stock) and hboot version(stock) and stock recovery
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I just need to run ruu.exe ? I want to comletely restore my phone, and flash it again
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yeap only ruu.exe and done
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
will it remove superCID and lock bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you have to lock the bootloader first in order to use the ruu.exe

but you will remain on S-OFF so supercid too:cool:
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
how?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If he is s-off,he does not have to lock his bootloader.

Just run the RUU normally.

3.2 on the guide

:)
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I flashed it, and my bootloader is locked, but I'm still s-off.... how to install custom roms now? Do I need to unlock bootloader again or just flash recovery and root?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
just flash recovery and root(or flash a custom rom after recovery)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Do not use HTC to unlock your phone.

Install 4 EXT,"format all partitions except sd card,then,custom ROM.

Then, go to FIRMWARE THREAD ,second post, and install :

HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)

This will unlock your phone.

:)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
one question

if someone has the patched hboot then in that case does he have to lock it or not first?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If they are s-off,then no.

Only needs locking if s-on.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I unlocked my phone with HTC first time.. Why not use HTC site to unlock? Can u give me short instruction for instaling custom rom, just steps? I completely restored my phone to stock, removed s-off also.. Which recovery I need to flash? I checked my firmware and it's 3.33.401.53... My bootloader:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
S-OFF only this time using the juopunutbear method in general section

after that flash 3.33 universal from kohr-ah's thread

it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked

but before flashing check md5 sums(important)

then flash recovery and custom rom

done
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
md5 of what? Why I need to check it and how to check it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Google is your friend

:)
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I never used it, is that necessary?
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
But my bootloader version is 1.27.0000...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
md5 is important because if the file is corrupted and you flash it then you probably brick the device(specifically on firmware zip)

so download the zip

put it in the sdcard

use any file manager you have

navigate to that zip

tap and hold on it until it pops up a menu

select properties

calculate md5 checksum(or whatever it says)

then check it with one from the download link

if it matches the downloaded file is good and not corrupted
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I have latest firmware, because I flashed latest ruu.. how to unlock bootloader then? With HTC site?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes with htc site or

you can use juopunutbear method to S-OFF

then install 3.33 universal from kohr-ah's thread

it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
and after that? Just install 4 ext recovery and root?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
Do I need flash firmware 3.33, I already have it from latest ruu..
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you follow juopunutbear method you will have to use it because it contains also the patched hboot(unlocked)
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
ok, can u give me completely short steps now?
[HTC Sensation] Gastozz:
I flashed my phone to stock. I'm S-OFF and did this:

1. Flash firmware 3.33

2. Install 4ext recovery

3. Install latest supersu throught recovery

4. Flash custom rom

Do I need always flash supersu to get root access because I don't have supersu after flash...
[HTC Sensation] Han_Dez:
Great Guide that restored friend's phone!

This guide is really great! Thank you for taking the time and effort to post it. I used the RUU to restore a friends HTC Sensation 4g that was in RECOVERY BOOTLOOP! The link to the factory firmware was indeed invaluable.

My device is S-OFF via revolutionary , My HBoot is 1.27.1100 , I am rooted with latest 4ext recovery and Viper S Rom , I want to return to Stock as My wifi is not functioning properly to check if it is a software or hardware issue , Will Flashing the latest European 3.33 RUU change my HBOOT ? Will I be able to acquire Root and super Cid again easily after RUU ? I asuume I wont lose S-OFF , Correct ?

[HTC Sensation] doublin:
Help please.

I'm doing step 4.4.1

When I turn on the phone in bootloader,it starts doing the PG58IMG.zip showing a blue vertical progress bar on the top-right side of the screen.After ~1 minute it is done and then it takes me straight to the bootloader menu where I have fastboot,recovery,etc.

I don't get prompted to reboot.

Why?

EDIT: I think I found the answer.

After a closer look inside the PG58IMG.zip i found a file called hboot_8x60_1.29.0000_20120302_signedbyaa.nb0. My H-BOOT is 1.27 instead of 1.29.

How can I find a RUU for firmware 3.32 but hboot 1.27 ? I suppose the CID is not important since I can manually add it into the android-info.txt where it's located the list of supported CIDs.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
It's trying to check your RUU and decided you're not using the right one, so nothing happens.

I wrote this long guide to help you get the right RUU and flash it correctly, all you had to do was follow those instructions.

Why won't you just read? Posting the same question in different places is not going to get you an answer.

[HTC Sensation] crimsonedge03:
Just wanted to ask, are there any risks to using an RUU? Can anything go wrong in the process and end up bricking your phone?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
There is only two risks when using a RUU. One is losing power, you do not want your battery to die in the middle of a RUU flash. But a unmodified RUU runs a battery level check before it is run and if the battery is 60% or more it will let you flash. If it is not it will not let you proceed. You also do not want your computer to lose power either during a RUU flash. The second risk is your USB cable becoming disconnected during a RUU flash. Either of these things can very well lead to a hard bricked device.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Perfect. Just add using USB Hubs or USB 3.0 ports for connecting the phone to the list.

but I got a 140 bootloader version error. I think this is because I'm running a higher firmware version.

I'm trying to get back to stock so that I can S-OFF using Revolutionary. Would it be safe to manually flash the rom.zip I extracted from this RUU? (Considering that it's a lower firmware than what I'm currently running)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:

Hello all,

I have a HTC Sensation from Tmobile US that is bootlooping. It is S-ON, with hboot 1.18.0000 and bootloader says *Locked* on top.

As per step 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 I have flashed PG58IMG.zip extracted from RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_ 10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed.exe, which flashed successfully but no change, still bootlooping!

This is the last few bits from 4.4.2:

How to fix it? I will appreciate any suggestions!
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Try extracting the zip again & reflash the zip.

This could be a hardware problem too.
[HTC Sensation] donalmc:
Thanks for the great and really focused guide.

I have two questions:

1) Am I correct in assuming that I need the SDK installed on my PC for the RUU to be able to find my phone? I am already SuperCID, so I skipped the SDK step but the RUU could not find my phone.

2) I am doing this so I can return my phone for warranty reasons. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not I should change my CID from 11111111 back to the one it came with, or does flashing the RUU do this?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
1) No. If you did read, the RUU has the required files for connecting to the device.

2)Yes. Change the CID back to original & flash an RUU for your region/operator.
