Root Sensation Bootloop & Recovery Issues

I'm new to the whole overly complexed and unnecessary HTC unlocking/rooting process. So I figured I would probably come across some minor issues. But this is driving me absolutely insane. :thinking:

I flashed over the PG158.IMG and it updated and prompted to turn off, afterwards everything went wrong. It started doing random boot loop for no reason and I don't know how to fix it. First problem.

Secondly, I can't access recovery, I can get the the HBOOT and everything but when I go down and select recovery, it goes to the HTC screen and then goes into a screen with the downloading package that is green, then it turns red with an error. IDK, I feel this isn't a common probably but hopefully someone knows a fix to this. I just had this one replaced due to me BRICKING a previous one.

I need help. :(


This is what comes up on the screen. Help!

Yes, my phone is S-OFF.
And I can't remember which PG58IMG I flashed.
It was the one for T-Mobile US Sensation 3.32 or something like that.
I'm guessing I didn't flash it correctly but I'm not sure.
