My phone was rooted with JF.1.41 MODDED RC30
Short Story- Phone keeps booting into JG 1.41 recovery Utiliry, tried wipe, tried differnet updates, won't even go into Boot loader POWER + CAMERA, only recovery utility... Help please
Long STory-
The battery ran out yesterday and the phone shut off, not realizing that I turned it back on and it went into Recovery mode, and I though that was strange, it wouldn't respond to the Gome +back reboot either. Needing to check my txt messages, I took the bat out bput it back in, and put it on the cahrger with the phone off for like 5 minutes, Turned it back on same thing right to the recovery screen, Home + back wouldn't reboot, took the battery out, when into recovery and did a wipe and flashed JF 1.41 on it, home + back still wouln't respond. tryied wiping and reflashing 1.31 etc. etc. but when it goes into recovery it always say JF 1.41 not matter what update I flash and they all say completed.
I was gonna go back to RC29 and start from sctrach, but it won't let me get into bootloader now, just boots straight into JF 1.41 recovery
do you have an original rc29 DREAMIMG.nbh on the root of your sd card? im not sure if the bootloader will "open" if there is nothing, meaning no dreamimg.nbh, for it to read....
then youd have to hard reset, well it wud hard reset back to rc29, or whatever image u have on ur sdcard... then re-do root, n flash to rc33-lite or rc33

i was trying to root down to rc29 and everytime i do i get an error, when it says BOOT it fails. thus leading to the whole update to fail. everytime i turn on my g1 it goes straight to bootloader
any help ? i already reformated my memory card and download a RC29 again and still no luck !
if i return this to tmobile thru warrenty exchange, will it count as out of warrenty ?

Did you put the DREAIMG.NBH file onto your SD card?
Make sure you extracted everything if you downloaded it by zip file. Once you do that, you'll find the .NBH file in there.
Also wrong section
Well, if you go to Bootloader, I'm sure you don't have a Brick. Brick means it stays at the G1 Screen and doesn't do anything else.
yeah i did, i always downgrade no problem, this was a exchange so i had to re root and now its giving me this message

hmm like the rc8? europe version? what other rc's are out there?
i redownload rc29 and reformatted just to be sure and i still had the error, is this the first time a problem like this occured? i looked around and no one has the same problem
RC33. Google it man, it's Android for Nas-sake! Yeahh haha, did you see the irony in that? Nas, your location is Queens, New York. Hahahahahahahha lmaooo. I am hilarious.
ahaha yeah, i live 5 bus stops away from queens bridge actually. im in astoria. and i cant get into recovery, when my phone turns on it goes straight to bootloader no splash screen. i thought i cpuld only flash the DREAHIMG.nbh only (which is what i have/tried)
Shiz I though RC33 was... wth. Wow. You kids now a days, messing with an old geezer like me. Loll. Uhmm. Yeaah. Hahaha, I think I'm gonna go before you break you're phone. So no Splashs. Well den we know you don;t have any water damage. LOL I AM COMEDY. Naah uhmms, well you usually don't get Splashes when you go into FastBoot and BootLoader. Try, doing, idk. Damn it people, help two playas out. I'm stupid and can;t even use ADB properly, and this guys stuck with BootLoader. I was afraid to Boot into FastBoot yesterday, help us!
LOL yeah man im stuck, i just got this replacement today! i called in for a replacement AGAIN but im afraid they will say this one is tampered with/out of warrenty since its doing it
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates
It could be a stuck Camera button also. That would call for a replacement.
i read that somewhere but i doubt it cause even if it was the update wouldnt fail at BOOT. i tried actually holding out the camera buttom while powering..same thing.
Probably because when you hold the Camera button, that's what boots you into BootLoader. And don't forget, when you start the update, you can't press any buttons. So if the camera button is being held, then you will go straight to BootLoader. When you start the Update, the Camera button will be pressed, and you won't be able to finish the Update.
hmm that is also true but what i dont get is why it wpuld say FAIL at the boot part (the check off list after you flash dreahimg.nbh
this happened to me while I was rooting my brother's phone a while back. What I did was redownload the .nbh and put that on the sd card and when i started it again it downgraded no problem. but for this you're gonna need a microSD reader or another device you can pop the sd into so you can put the .nbh on it because you can't access it through the G1 at this state.
yeah i use a sdcard reader always. i redownloaded and re formated! still same issue....hmmm
you're formatting to FAT32 right?
idk maybe try downloading it from a different source.
It sounds like the exact same thing that happened to me, I downloaded the DREAIMG.nbh from a different place than I got the one I had previously to get it right
hmmm alright will try that, i got mine off megaupload link that was posted in the rooting tutorial
try the one in Cyanogen's tutorial, I think that's the one I used
YOU MUST HAVE ROOT+S-OFF BEFORE THIS WILL WORK. if you are not already s-off, this will not help you.
Here is a file for you. its magic.
need to send your phone back to sprint?
want to go 100% back to stock and start the root process over again?
download the file onto the root of your sdcard.
go to bootloader mood (vol down + power)
when it asks you to press vol up to update, press volume up.
success
have winrar and dont want to erase your bootloader or your Recovery?
simply download the file and delete recovery+Hboot from the inside (do not unzip).
*make sure after you run this PG06IMG.zip to rename it to anything else (like aPG06IMG.zip) or it will ask you if your want to update every time you go to Bootloader and not allow you to fastboot or recovery.
THIS WILL MAKE YOU LOOSE ALL PERSONAL INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
.93 hboot-Original Hboot that came with the phone-not s-off
Code:
Common issues:
Cant get device to recognize PG06IMG.img?
Check the file system of your sdcard. Sdcard that came with phone uses a FAT filesystem, which bootloader does not recognize. use a computer to format your sdcard (or use recovery to format sdcard) to exfat or fat32 to clear this issue.
Formatting will wipe your sdcard so make sure you back it up first :)

reformat your sd.. says bootloader cant recognize FAT..
it worked for me when formatted through recovery.. you can use a computer too. i was dumb and lost my copy of the .ZIP so remember to back that up
It didn't work... the phone saw it and checked it and then check the file again and never asked do i want to update... Any ideas?
Well I'm completely back to stock and unrooted...I was having issues making and receiving calls and still no keyboard or on screen lights. Hope Sprint is open on Sundays. Worked perfect BTW thanks.

It is a magical zip. It will return your phone to out of the box condition. No root. S-On. Bone stock 2.2. So... all in all it works pretty well

Same thing here.
Edit: Phone was not rooted, I'm trying to revert back to 2.2 after the phone was upgraded to 2.3 (before I bought it today). Maybe that's why it's not working for me. I downloaded the file from two different mirrors just in case I managed to grab one that was corrupt.

OK I have never posted anything on this site so I hope this is the right section.
Anyway to get to the point, I believe I bricked my Thunderbolt.
I went from Bamf Remix 1.6 to Cubed Rom and then upgraded to Das Bamf 2.0 after I upgraded my Radio to the Gingerbread one I believe. It booted up fine and I love the 2.0 update but it ran too slowly and I could literally see my battery life draining so I decided to switch back to my backup of my 1.6 but when i tried to boot into recovery, it auto loaded the radio update and i must of clicked the power because it redid that. after that my TB would only get to a black screen but I could tell it was on cause my computer detected it and i could see the backlight on. so then i loaded my other microSD into it and tried to restore with a backup from there but now it will only rebooot to the white screen with the 4 options and no way to get to recovery. Am I bricked or am i overreacting. Thanks in advance for ur guys help. love this site!
you have to downgrade back to a froyo radio if you reverted back from gingerbread. Get the one listed in the radio thread on the developers forum or rooting thread how-to that mentions it's for s-off and modified to have root permissions allowed.
You can stick it on your sd card from clockwork recovery by mounting your sd card via usb.
Also, that white screen with the options you see is the bootloader. If you read the options, the bootloader has an option to boot into recovery.
Take a deep breath, relax and hold your panicking for a while and try again
Also here's the radio from the restore to stock thread (this will fully restore to stock and all data not on the sdcard, but with s-off still so you can flash again):
http://www.multiupload.com/26WG1UZCXR (md5sum: abda920f3e159fb05c00d8c54a5b8768)
That is fricken ridiculously awesome man. A 12 minute reply at this time. Thank you so much man. I will try this and hope that it works. I will get back to ASAP! THANKS!
Ok I downloaded the file you linked me and put it on the root of my microSD card. but when i boot up my phone it only goes to the white bootloader screen and there is no recovery option any advice?
can try while its rebooting adb reboot recovery
then wipe cache factory rest wipe dalvik then fresh install das bamf 1.6
worst case senario as it sounds ull have to ruu back to stock and re-root ull have to bit of searching for this info cant remeber where i found Ruu but ya it turns s-on so make sure u read alot and pay complete attention to what you do also make sure ur not on the GB leak radio cause wont work with froyo unless u use MR2 that might be step 2 in this senario after u try to get into recovery via adb.
Sorry, I don't really have anything to contribute to your solution, RUU/reroot is nearly always a surefire solution...
however, let this be a warning to others, this is why one of the last steps in a radio flash is
DELETE PG05IMG.zip FROM YOUR SDCARD.

rename the radio from PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip to PG05IMG.zip, then stick it on the card just as you did when you rooted to begin with (basically you are doing the same steps you did for rooting, just not reverting to the old radio, since you already have s-off.
AFTER YOUR DONE AND EVERYTHING WORKS, REMOVE PG05IMG.zip FROM YOUR SDCARD (youll wish you had of if you didnt eventually).

It sounds like it may be coming up in fastboot mode in which case there should be a button in the menu list for bootloader. Select bootloader and it ought to bring up additional options including recovery.

This method worked for me when I reverted. Everything will be deleted but you should be back to working, then get Rom manager, and restore your backup. I did it twice yesterday bouncing between BAMF 1.7 and 2.whatever.
SO yeah I decided to flash Miui lastnight and this happened clockworkmod wont load up for me to reflash or whipe, when I try to boot into clockwork htc logo comes up then slowly dies to black, though I can access hboot so what should i do?

it's not bricked.... power off the phone then press and hold the power key and the vol down key at the same time til you see the HBOOT screen. vol down until RECOVERY is highlited then press power. That will bring you into Recovery mode. now wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.. then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache... go back to mounts and storage and format system...
after all that then go back to install zipfrom sdcard and reinstall miui that should do it
Im not going anywhere so I'll be here, let me know how you do
Ouch. That sucks. Don't worry though, there is hope.
What you will have to do is remove your SD card and download a stock RUU and it will flash in Bootloader. Unfortunately I believe it will unroot you. I am not positive on that though. I will post a link so you can be reading a little more about it, we helped a guy thru this the.other day, but he wasn't rooted. Should be the same process though. You'll want to wait until we know exactly what to do because this is your one shot before you got a fancy paperweight. I have to run to atnt for a minute. Start reading so you'll know a little more of what is going to go on, and hang tight. Someone else may step in before I'm back, but you can start familiarizing yourself with the process shortly.
This fellow was pricked during an OTA update. About the same steps will be taken...

I've gotten the same thing in the past when updating sense via HTC on a rooted rom lol.... it's most likely a bad flash sometimes you just have to reflash a rom but Im 99.9% sure it's not bricked

Yeah, thats not the case here, i've done that multiple times and it remains the same.
search around on here for a stock rooted rom in PD98IMG.zip form There may be one inside the hack kit but cant remember. put it on your sdcard boot into bootloader by holding volume down and pressing power. let it search for the update. hit volume up to confirm update after it finds it. If you can access hboot your not bricked take a deep breath and relax

you have a micro sd card reader on your computer ?
Here's a link to gb stock rooted. Look at post 4. Credit goes to gene for the file.
To flash you will need a way to transfer files to your SD card.
Download the file and rename to PD98IMG.zip. boot into hboot it will scan and ask you to apply the update.
If you can't transfer files try the ruu exe. Version you downloaded.

Hi everyone,
yesterday I wanted to load a custom ICS rom on my HTC Sensation XE. I did S-off the phone, got root access. I downloaded the firmware, rom, and a super wipe zip file for the new rom. Put them all on my sd card and flashed them.
After I flashed the wipe file and the rom the phone was booting up and couldn't go further than boot screen, so I tried several times, wiped the phone and etc.
After few times trying when i went to the recovery, it gave me a message to update and I said yes! I think I shouldn't cause after that it tried to update something in recovery and it failed, system reboot and phone shut down.
since then i can't even turn on the phone!!!! I've got battery charged nearly 80% so the problem is not the battery. Can any of you guys please help me?
So to clarify, it wont start when you press Vol down and Power on at the same time?
No nothing happens!!! like i can't do anything with it or even make it work to a point that I can restore my backed up firmware etc...
device manager detects it though, but cant install the driver....

Yeah it soundslikeyou have Becker it some how. You may want to check out this thread, that is if you want to Teutonic do it yourself. But be warned I annotated 100% sure this will work on your Sensation. The other option is to try for warranty exchange or find someone to JTAG your Sensation. I can put you in touch with someone that can JTAG it if all else fails and you don't mind sending your phone off for a two or three days.

Most probably you didn't delete the PG58IMG (firmware) from sd card after flashing firmware. So each time you reboot into bootloader it asks to update in a never ending loop.
Delete any PG58IMG from sd card and reboot bootloader then go to recovery and flash the rom.
Also, what rom you were trying to flash and what firmware? what is the version of your Hboot? 1.27?
Hope it helps

yes true, i had the zip file on the sdcard and when it booted up the last time, it asked me to update and I selected yes (and I think I shouldn't) since then I cant turn on the device at all. I just took the sdcard out and deleted the PG58IMG.zip file but still nothing happened!
I was trying to flash revolution HD rom 6.6.1 if i'm not mistaken. is there any way that I can check the version of my HBOOT now? cause I'm not sure if it was 1.27 or not (as far as I remember, it was)
Pull out and reinsert the battery?
Power on while keeping pressed volume down + power button doesn't work? It should bring you to the bootloader.
It doesnt matter if you updated twice or three times the same PG58IMG. It is important that it was the right one.
All bootloader flashable zips are named PG58IMG but the content might be different (firmware, recoveries, spashscreen and even full roms etc etc).
Also, did you install a custom recovery or not? it is necessary to have a custom recovery to flash any custom rom

follow this step by step, make sure u dont skip anything and when your phone is up and running dont forget to press the thanks button. if u need help along the way you can ask.
flashing file with bootloader is different from the custom rom.
flash 3.32 pg.. file approx 11-13 mb then without rebooting pull battery out and back in then reboot into recovery and flash the rom file and you are good to go.

How can the OP do this, the device will not even turn on to boot into fastboot or the bootloader therefore the instructions in the thread you linked are pretty much useless to the OP. It seems that the OP has hard bricked the device somehow,maybe fried the processor Blythe back to back flashes or fried the NAND memory with the back to back flashes, who really knows at this point. But right now my money is on JTAG or replacing the mainboard willbe the only fix.

he mentioned nothing about trying it with adb/sdk fastboot using command prompt,
i was in similar situation with my friends phone last week, after 3 days of searching and reading i finally followed that thread and now the sensation is running ordroid 2.1 rom. the buttons on the phone got disabled somehow. had to manually install drivers in device manager, like he mentioned that comp detects the phone. so before giving up adb/sdk is worth a try atleast in my case it was.
Well, i'm sorry for you, man
