Unrooting/HTC Sync problems

I have rooted my phone, and have been trying to use Fresh ROM, but have been having issues.
I though I should try and unroot, and get back to stock. The trouble is I cannot now get HTC Sync to work, and so would not be able to use the program to unroot.
Does anyone know why I would be having issues with HTC Sync ?
I have uninstalled rivers and reinstalled HTC sync, but my phoen still does not recognise HTC Sync.

OK, tried restoring to stock using the RUU and I'm getting the bootloader error.
I've hunted the forums for answers, but cannot find anything. Am I stuck with a knackered phone ?

Your error is caused by this: http://geekfor.me/news/sprint-ruu-fails/
I know the issues you've been having are kind of crazy. Do you have a nandroid backup that you can go to from when you first rooted?

I do jhave nandroid ackups, but I'm kinda thinking it's something to do with some apps I've installed maybe...
It's really odd, it only happens when I'm on Fresh. I get apps hanging, HTC Sync keeps rebooting...Force closures...really odd.
I would like to go completely back to stock, and then add minimal apps and then reroot and put Fresh on.
I'll see what I can do today.

Nope
RUU still won't do anything
I've gone back down to Fresh 0.2...still nothing.
I have a nandroid backup that I'm gonna go to, but it's post root. I guess I'm stuck with a rooted phone and no ROMs

Yea, flashing back to an older rom won't fix RUU. Have you tried clearing your cache and/or doing a factory wipe yet?

I'm having the same problem. Want to get back to stock. How do I do the factory wipe you mentioned? And knowing how to clean the cache would be useful as well... Actually I'm not having the same problem. My phone came with the 1.29 firmware. I tried using the RUU straight from MoDaCo, but that failed, so I used my backup that is from just after I rooted it and still can't get HTC Sync or the RUU to work.

Boot into your recovery (power off phone, Home+Power back on). Once in the recovery select Wipe.

Will that remove the custom recovery so I can get back to stock?

Phew... it did... I was starting to get worried for a second...

Crap... no it didn't... but it did let me install the 1.56 update, but the custom recovery stopped it from completing on reboot. And HTC Sync still doesn't work... grrr... frustration...

Ok, I'm going to take a deep breath and try running the 1.56 RUU. I don't know if its going to work considering I still can't get HTC Sync to work but its the only the I can think of at the moment.

AH HA!!!!!! VOLUME UP PLUS POWER ON!!!! BRILLIANT!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! Sorry for the caps, but resolving tech issues is a bit like crack.

So I managed to get back to stock.
Fresh 1.0 applied.
And I STILL get the odd HTC Sense reboot.
It's infuriating.
The last time it happened, I was in my voicemail, changing my details, and when I went back to the home page, it rebooted.
I have uninstalled Advanced Task Killer. Uninstalled Battery Indicator, and yet I still get these Home screen reboots.
Sick of it.

Tbolt problem

I’m hoping that someone may read this and have an idea of something to try. Or something I’m missing.
I’ve worked on and rooted multiple android phones and never once had an issue until the thunderbolt.
A friend has a thunderbolt that we previously rooted and all was working well until one day after a reboot the phone got stuck at the white HTC boot screen and then after rebooting a second time, the phone essentially “restored” a stored image of some sort. Now EVERY time you reboot the phone, it first boots and gets stuck at the HTC white boot screen, then after rebooting it a second time, it goes back to this exact same “stored image” state. If you change the desktop settings, remove and install apps and then reboot (twice), the apps you removed come back, the apps you downloaded are gone and the desktop goes back to this “stored” state.
I’ve tried re-rooting, unrooting, auto root, auto unroot, fix permissions via clockwork recovery as well as through rom manager…no matter what I do to this phone after It reboots (twice), it constantly goes back to the same “stored image”
Also, after flashing a PG05IMG.zip file through HBOOT, when the phone reboots its exhibits the same behavior..gets stuck at white HTC screen, then second boot brings the phone RIGHT back to the “stored image” state.
Any ideas or help appreciated!

i think i saw someone else with this. let me see if i can find post.

take the sd card out
put sd card into a computer
delete/rename PG05IMG.zip
put sd card back in phone
reboot

What I was going to say.
Are you leaving the PG05IMG.zip on the SD card?

I wish it were that simple!! Unfortunately its not a bad /sdcard/PG05IMG.zip file that is being loaded back onto the phone. I verified this by booting the phone without the sdcard at all.

have you unrooted and rerooted?
Also do you have anything setup with Ti Backup?

The problem your having is ROM related not radio related. The PG05IMG file should have nothing to do with it. You need to do a wipe/factory reset and flash a new ROM. With those problems I wouldn't trust possibly restoring a backup of a corrupted ROM

I attempted to unroot and even re-root, but NOTHING will take...no matter what I flash, the phone will ALWAYS revert back to this same image.
Ti backup is installed but only has a couple apps backed up

I would wipe everything and format system

Via which method?
RootandBoot, unfortunately even trying to flash new ROMs result in the exact same result...boot to white htc, gets stuck..reboot phone once more and it goes back to this crap image.
I also did the factory reset and also all 3 wipes (data, cache, dalvik) in clockwork...I even ADB shell'd into the phone and deleted stuff from system...after the double reboot...its back!

Very strange. Do you think the "stored image" is a nandroid backup?

Format /system via CWM. Mounts and storage.

Thats a good question. I don't think the person who owns this phone actually has ever done a backup via clockwork or through rom manager...and when i went into clockwork restore, there weren't any backups visible.
Yes, this is the most odd android problem i've tried to help fix!

Format failed...tried remounting and unmounting..no go

If all else fails, go back to bone stock, reboot a few times & see if the "stored image" recurs

Thats the problem...I've been trying to get the phone to stock...actually trying to get it to do anything at this point. As soon as I try to flash ANYTHING, it doesn't work.

That is the most bizarre behavior I've ever come across, and I've had 3 android phones. If you can't get it back to stock, then I have no idea what to try next. Have you tried the IRC channel?

[Q] I think I have done something wrong.

Salutations,
I recently installed a ICS ROM from another site, was meant to be in beta but it crashed and wouldn't reboot unless I removed the battery everytime the screen went off. I thought I would wipe everything and just go back to the stock ROM for a while until all of the ICS builds have matured.
Sadly this wasn't the case, after wiping everything ( I wanted to clean the SD card etc as well ) the phone doesn't boot, remains stuck on HTC logo if it wants to go that far. The LED is flashing orange and I cannot get into HBOOT.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The flashing LED light means u got low battery, so I would suggest you charging it.
to get into recovery remove the battery, and then try again. When in recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and try to reboot.
The screen-off problem I have no idea how to fix, try re-downloading, maybe u got a broken zip. Or just try another ROM.

Make sure you do "supercid" then go ahead and download and run the correct ruu and drivers for your version of sensation problem solved

Thanks for the responses, I think I must have wiped the boot partition and messed up the ruu. Problem solved when I downloaded a new ROM on my Mac and moved it onto the SD card and installed it. Got quite worried that I might have soft bricked the device!

[Q] Need some help =/

OK,
So was running ExtremeSensation™Series|ICS|Dream™3|Prime™5 and really liked it. And it comes with a app called JRummie Tools (I think thats it atleast).
And this app allows you to change splash screen, boot logo, font, system colors, etc. And I went ahead and bought the PRO version to support the dev . Tinkered with it, and it all went well. So last night I went back into it and picked all new everything, but this time I didnt restart after each mod, I waited until all were done, then rebooted. I also saw a feature to change the read/write speed of the SD card, and it suggested 1024kb, so I did that, rebooted, low and behold, Ive screwed something up lol! It reboots after the splash screen now, Ive tried doing a full wipe including dalvik cache, and re installing other ROMS. But it always gets to the splash screen, freezes and reboots.
I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to all this, but I know enough that I've been rooting my adroid devices for a few years now. All in all I'm just hoping someone smarter than me can help me out. When I google the issue, I merely get "Wipe and Reflash" over and over.
Thanks for any help!

First of All Make Sure U Have Latest Firmware.
2nd if u have that than
Use superWipe Scrpit After Using that
Than Flash the Rom
U wll B 100% Fine
for Reference Try Incertcoin Roms u Wll Love it

Thank you
Thank you, I know my firmware is good, but will double check. So the superwipe script is actually deeper than 4ext's wipe all except sd? Will try this when I get home though!

Also are you referring to the superwipe from the revolution rom?

Oops, somethings gone wrong.

Hi there,
I'm planning on selling my HTC Sensation through a phone recycling service.
I wanted to wipe all the datat from my phone, so I went to system, security, Factory Reset, Reset. I also chose to wipe my SD card.
After it'd finished, on reboot it just comes up with a black screen with the android logo, then it just stays there...
I was running a custom ROM ARHD, it's in my sig.
Can I get my phone back before I try to sell it?!?!?! Eeeep!!!
I can still go into 4EXT Recovery.
I think I did a Nandroid backup not too long ago... but I can't be certain.
Cheers,
T-L-H

How can I get it on the phone?
I'm on Three mobile so I'm guessing I'd want the H3G_001 RUU?

I've just turned the phone on again...
It's working ok now... Weird, it just booted up normally and has taken me to set-up options...
So I'm guessing the phone is fine.
