Major issues after all this S-OFF and Rooting, PLEASE HELP! - HTC Sensation

I am having major problems.
1-Wifi stops working and I have to reboot
2-My phone wont reboot unless I pull the battery.
3-My battery drains VERY quickly in standby.
What on earth should I do? I have S-OFF and I followed the guide to rooting using the PG58IMG file.
Please, could someone help?
Also, setcpu doesnt stick after reboot and adfree doesnt work at all. TB works fine as does root explorer.

One important point to remember is that this is a BETA! They made that clear. I had all the same problems, said to hell with that and used the RUU to put everything back to stock, now it is fine. I'd wait for a stable release (and CM7) before you try again. These problems seem to be common.

So, by going back to stock, you lose root but maintain S-OFF correct?
Matt

That is correct

I followed the Unrevoked guide, s-off, install CWM via the program, wifi/reboot/battery all good here!

You lose s-off... I know I had it happen, your results may vary, but I did lose s-off after running the RUU...
I also followed the guide to the letter, (this is not the first or the last I have s-off'ed/rooted), so I am not a noob, but I can only report what has happend to me. I may try again this afternoon for fun, BUT until CM7 comes out for the sensation, I probably won't waste my time.

The thing people need to remember, with this being "beta" these issues have to be dealt with one at a time. Eventually it will be a true one step process. Seems like a lot to go through for so little. BUT now that the Source Kernel has been released by HTC, Now that s-off has been achieved it won't be long until a good supply of QUALITY roms will be available.

If you flash a custom ROM, all your issues will magically disappear...

I am a little scared that I will just get further into trouble. Nothing seems to work right anymore. I cant even turn off my friggen phone the right way anymore...
If I manage to get it back to stock rom, can I use the old temp root methods while I wait for things to be ironed out?

Of course you can. But, for example, the wifi problem will be gone if you flash a custom, because it is probably an incompatibility between the boot.img and the modules. Just try flashing a custom

I am new to all this, so I will spend my time getting this back to stock, then temp root , and then wait out a new version....I am DL the stock ROM for TMOUS...
Matt

Hello there,
My first impression on using a Custom ROM on Sensation is awesome. After getting S-OFF and flashing LeeDROiD it seems to run smoother even though it isnt on a custom kernel yet. I guess we will have alot of releases the next days as the kernel source is out from HTC also

My phone was fast as heck after running ADW EX launcher and overclocking. I think I will wait this all out. I was in over my head. Can you guys confirm that following the debranding guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
will get me back to normal? I am ready to flash the rom.zip (renamed to PG58IMG.zip). I am waiting for my battery to charge. ;-)
Matt

I'm not 100% but isn't the PG58IMG file just the kernel?
What Sensation do you have 4G TMOUS?
What is your HBOOT (ex:1.17.0008)?
Can you describe in detail what steps you took from the beginning so we have a clear understanding what you did?
Hope we can help...

Started with 0008, then used revolution to get s-off. After that, I used the pg58IMG file. I was rooted at that point. Once I set setcpu back up, the wifi stopped working. The other troubles started right after the root.
I just reverted to stock, and am setting things back up. Looks like I am still s-off though. Will I be able to use the temp root method still?

That's because that unsecured boot image you used, is incompatible with the modules you have. If you flash a custom ROM, which is uber-easy, the wifi problem, plus the root problems will be gone. Trust me

Alright, I am back to the way things were. I still have s-off, but I am back to the stock ROM and have my phone temp rooted again.
When you guys talk about flashing ROMs, could I just do that as is? Do I need to do anything else, now that I have s-off? Could I just load the ROM on my SD card, then do the same thing I did to get back to stock?

[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot

As the title says, here's the Rom.zip extracted from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe for those that don't use Windows, or prefer to have their RUU in zip format.
This will flash your phone to 2.31.651.7 STOCK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?m6x4sr682ruk027
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
Enjoy!
Here's my guide to rooting .7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
Personally..I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have spent the last four hours searching for this. This needs to be stickied. I'm bookmarking it for sure. This got my phone unbricked..I thought all hope was lost and I would have to call in for warranty support (I got mine refurbed through Sprint last October..so I don't even know if I would still have any warranty support), and see if I could try my luck and getting it replaced, since that is what others have said to do as apparently this file from OP, did not exist.
And so for future reference, so that others don't go mindlessly searching through the forums.
If you
a.) Managed to overwrite your Recovery some how or completely delete it. (I did..and from searching this and many other forums over the past couple hours..I can see I wasn't the only one), and also have no boot (or a corrupted boot loop)
b.) Still have S-ON (You can find this out by powering off your phone and then pressing and holding the power button and the lower volume button), I recommend you turn S-Off for future reference if you're going to be dealing with customer ROMs a lot (so you don't have to go through the hell I just did..). See here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955
c.) Have an updated Hboot (1.47) (you can also find this info. in part b.)
....then you KNOW that you are stuck. Because you
a.) Cannot flash a ROM in Recovery because you cannot access it.
b.) You cannot access ADB because your phone won't go that far and will only go into fastboot..
c.) But even though you have access to fastboot you can't do ANYTHING like flash a recovery image or a ROM..or anything for that matter..because S is still ON. (this is the "not allow" messages you will see pop up.)
d.) You have bootloader 1.47 so if you for example, were like me couldn't use this file here.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086), because it would say there was a newer version and wouldn't install it.
So this file right here..was the only thing getting my phone back to a usable state. And considering that my searches have shown to pretty much give up all hope and have it sent it for warranty repair, then I think this thread deserves a bump for all those that have screwed up.
Yeah..I have to start ALL OVER now from a stock ROM (thank god for nandroid), but at least my phone isn't a dead brick.
Just thought this needed a well deserved bump.
I wonder if there is a RUU for the latest .2?

Forgive me for seeming NOOBish... but I can use this to do the same, then restore Nandroid back and it will keep the PRL/Profile update?
Just wondering... lolz, thanks!
Yup But you will have to reroot. This takes root from you. You will have to reroot with the Hero rooter from Reg or Z4 or one click root. But read read read. And as far as the prl/profile yup it will stick. When your phone boots up after running this just go into settings and updates and choose update profile and update prl don't update firmware. I repeat don't update firmware. After that just reboot and check your prl should be 60675. After that reroot, then flash a recovery and then nand restore. Hope this helps good luck
Remember this returns you to stock you will loose root and recovery..
Yea it's me Again. With the

Why don't you guys just flash NFX's or LS's already rooted and way faster stock sense ROM to update PRL, etc?
Running stock ROM has to be one of the worst things ever after being on custom ROMs for so long.
I tried flashing almost ever sense rom on here pmgrands port, ninfintes stock odex and deodex and his apps 2 sd builds he has like 4 or 6 different builds. Tried flashing liquids builds beta and stable. All gave me a error. So I had to use this. I couldn't flash any sense rom
and it was easier to use this than try to figure out y. If he can flash a sense rom then yea that's the easier way but if not this is a for sure way to get back to stock.

Yup. That's way better and faster. Just go into settings / updates. Then just update prl and profile. Don't update firmware. After you confirm that your updated just nand restore and you should be good.

Thanks for the reply's all... I like Sense and have NFX rom on my Hero, loaded a few ROMS but they won't update, so no worries, when I have some free time I'll sit and do it then. I don't like the one click rooters nor the clockwork recovery, I guess I'm old school and do it the hard way, lol, but thanks for letting me know it'll work (prl update) and stay on the handset!

Without opening a huge can of worms I would like to know whats the best newest rom out there with sense I just searched for like 3 hours and lot of threads are old and I want what ever is new with sense also would like to upgrade to 2.2 im on Honeybun v.-2 lite firmware 2.1 update1

No need to reroot because it was a nandroid. Can't make a nandroid if you're not rooted.

According to the OP this one was extracted from the RUU, so it *should* work S-ON.

Return to Stock

i downgraded but could not get root. how do i and what method do i use to make it completely stock.
TO RETURN TO STOCK:
Make sure you S-ON (if able) BEFORE you Unroot. The S-On tool needs root permissions to function.
Step 1 (S-On):
Run Bubby323's S-On tool: S-On Tool
Step 2 (Unroot/Return Stock ROM):
Flash the stock AT&T ROM: RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe
That's the original factory shipped rom, not rooted. =]
That will return everything back to the way it was when you bought it.
And just to be clear, you actually run the EXE file on your windows computer, with your phone connected via USB. Don't do anything crazy like try to put it on the SD card or something, because that won't work.
Edit: If you are still S-Off after running the tool, and need to S-On, read post 27 of this thread BEFORE you unroot with the stock ROM.
Ive been thinking of doing the same thing. I have s-off. Is there anyway to have root on the stock rom?
Not as of yet. The only way it's accomplished so far is with the downgrade. There are developers working on a way for that to be accomplished soon though, I'm sure.
Would there be any way to tell there is s-off for warranty purposes? Can that be turned off?

From what I understand, flash this:

That will return everything back to the way it was when you bought it. The only thing it will not fix is S-Off, which it doesn't look like you've done yet anyways.

Budco, if you downgraded, you can get root - the hard part is done. Come back to the IRC channel and be patient. When you were there there was a ton of activity.
I'm trying to return to stock after the "stock with root" rom, due to my wifi not working. I despite having a fully charged batter, the ruu errors saying that my batter is less than 30%.

Use CWM to wipe battery stats. That may help.
don't you have to reverse S-OFF to S-ON in order to flash a stock ROM?

You can tell by reading your HBOOT (bootloader) screen. It will say "S-Off".
You're supposed to be able to get into this menu by holding volume down while pressing the power button to boot, however I haven't gotten it to work yet.
The hack tool uses "gfree", the T-Mobile G2 program for turning S-Off, which should have a method for turning S-On as well. I'll try to dig it up later, but check the Desire HD forum area for turning S-On. I believe they have made a program to do it.
Edit: To get to that menu, hold volume down while using the "Reset" option in the shut down menu.

Error 170 means that the RUU program cannot find the phone. Make sure you have installed HTC Sync on your PC. It installs some drivers that the RUU needs to find the phone via the USB cable.
returning to stock?
Can someone instruct me on how to return my Inspire back to stock? I tried rooting using attn1 instructions and also the youtube videos. It got to the downgrade part but once it rebooted, I can't get the device recognized like when I type in hackerize-ace clean in the command prompt. It won't work so I'd like to fix it. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I feel like I've bricked my phone and I'm sick about it. Thank you.
if you want to finish rooting, make sure USB debugging is on. I'm pretty sure when i rebooted from downgrading, since it was a fresh install, it was set to off, and that sounds like the culprit with the device not being recognized.

[Q] HTC Aria will not boot if plugged in

EDIT: Wrong category, sorry. I'm new.
Rooted Aria/Liberty won't turn on if it's plugged in (wall charger or USB). The orange charging light is on and the screen is lit but black. The menu buttons do not turn on. I have to remove the battery after unplugging it for it to turn on.
The phone is rooted and the problem is consistent no matter what ROM I use. I believe it is a problem with the bootloader, but I'm not very advanced with these things.
I rooted the phone with Unrevoked and whenever I boot into recovery mode it says "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4."
Any suggestions on how to make this problem go away? I know it's minor, but it is my mother's phone and every time I'm on the phone with her she complains about it.
The only way to fix a bootloader issue like this is to reflash the stock one, which you can accomplish by sourcing an HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your Aria. This will flash everything back to stock so you'll lose everything, but it will fix these issues that tend to pop up occasionally
Good luck!

I just did this and the problem is still occuring. I used the RUU on HTC's website that was the upgrade to 2.2. The process went without a hitch, but it did not do anything except change to the stock Froyo ROM. I checked and it was still Revolutionary's bootloader and the same HBOOT (6.02.1002).
I believe I read that Revolutionary is a protected bootloader and fairly difficult to remove, but I'm not sure. I've been researching this for 11 hours now. I've read a lot. >.< I'm up for a challenge, though, so if you or anyone else have instructions/link on how to replace it, I'll try.

I followed that and the only thing it did was change the top of the bootloader screen from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev Unlock." The hboot is still the same. The problem is still happening.
Is there a way to downgrade my hboot even though it is protected? Heck, I can't even turn S-ON because of that.
NOTE: The major problem I'm running into with all the forum posts I find is that they used megaupload to host their downloads and those links no longer work.

[Q] Sensation died whilst in use, won't charge, won't switch on.

As the title states, I have a possible brick on my hands, the phone isn't mine and the person who uses it doesn't really mess with overclocking and such, it was running Miks rom GSM, and not overclocked (running at 1.18ghz) No overvolt either, it is an s-off device, before this it was a fully functional sensation.
Basically what i'm told is that the phone was in use and it just switched off.
No lights, no power, have tried three batteries, about 10 chargers, different usb cables, can't get to bootloader or recovery, adb won't recognise it, it appears to be just a dead phone, personally i'm guessing it's the mainboard but i thought i'd ask anyway, there are no signs of water damage or major droppage.
Popped over to dexters unbricking project but as i said the phone won't come on so it won't work.
As i said before it's not my phone, but i'd like to do a friend a favour if i could.
Any ideas?
Before anyone asks, I cannot get to the bootloader or recovery.
Many thanks.
Hope you get it working..but it's becoming quite common and no one seems to have any ideas. Mine did the same thing...and I just had the motherboard repaired!
Yeah, here is the other thread.

On such a popular Rom it is a bit unsettling.
Is it firmware, radio, kernel, or rom?
I hadn't seen this many Sensations die like this back on Gingerbread.
I am not sure...seems to have happened on a few different ROMs...so maybe it's not a specific ROM? I just got mine back and rooted and S-off as I needed the root to unlock the simlock...but I am scared of installing any custom ROMs or radio etc....I am thinking maybe I'll just wait for the official t-mobile ICS update...

I was running ARHD 6.6.2 Just flashed the ROM.. and seem to flash fine, able to boot up. Even reinstalled all the apps...then while calling...had this long tone from the phone...and phone was unresponsive...I pressed power button.. and it turned off.
The first time..it actually turned back on....so I thought maybe it's an issue with reinstalling the apps. Then when I called again...after 30sec-1 min...same tone again...then phone turned off and never turned on again...Battery was 100% charged.
I updated the correct firmware since I was already using insertcoin ICS ROM for a while before changing to ARHD 6.6.2
I am scared of installing a custom ROM now....I have rooted the phone again, S-off, Clockwork, superCID....but I am thinking maybe I should just wait for teh official update for ICS and leave it as that.
Can I just to OTA update when it comes out?

Change your CID back to T-MOB010 and you can...
FWIW, what kernel were you running when it took a dump?
I didn't install any custom kernel...I just installed the firmware as suggested.. and also the radio file that ARHD page says we should flash for T-mobile phones....
then flash the ROM as usual. Everything worked...the phone died while running the ROM.
So I need to change CID again to do OTA update? It's ok to leave it rooted, Clockwork, and S-off? Maybe I shouldn't have changed to super CID then?

You can leave it rooted and s-off (in fact you WANT to keep s-off), make sure your stock rom is un-modified, and you need to go back to stock recovery. If you leave superCID then it will not detect the update. It needs to refer to CID to find the correct update package for your device...
I haven't modify the Rom that's on here now. So stock recovery means removing clockwork ? And changing CID...is there a tutorial to do that?..

But is it a HTC problem or a flashing custom stuff problem?
I don't know what I should do now...if I should just wait for ICS update...but now I'll have to remove superCID and somehow flash stock recovery or something

Constant Switching from 4g/3g/edge

So I have used TMOUS rom for ALONG time and recently decided to switch to use Cyanogen being a fan of it form other platforms.
While on the TMOUS rom I had 4g connectivity in my area about 90% of the time with the occasional drop into 3g here and there. It always displayed a 4g image in the top.
When I switched to Cyanogen that pretty much stoped. It always says 3g and is slow as hell. every once in awhile it will say H+ but not for long. MOST of the time it is constantly switching between 3g/4g/edge then shutting off.
Now im not sure if its a rom problem or not, but its making me want to switch back to a TMOUS rom.
Any suggestions would be great!
Edit: Just for clairification, I am S-On
I have this problem as well. I even ran the ruu back to stock and it is still happening. Please and thank you!

Damn, this scares me.... any solution anyone?
I'm thinking it might be a hardware error at this point. I might just "lose my phone" or just flash to stock and return it, this is preposterous.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a hardware problem
I have been trolling the net for weeks but have not found a solution yet.
I've posted in threads here but no solution.....
My issues started when I went to CM ROM - I used to have great 4g all the time before I went to custom rom (I was on stock TMO US) .. Now no matter what I do, I am not able to get 4G again.... it's really irritating...
I've tried a bunch of custom ROMS.. I am on 1.13 HBOOT and S-ON .. .. CID = HTC__001 (originally my CID was stock TMO US CID whatever that is but now its not that.. I don't wan to run RUU because I don't have TMO US CID and dont want to brick my phone)
You can set your CID back easily with the All in One ToolKit found here.http://www.hasoon2000.info/getdownload.php?file=One%20S/One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v4.0.rar
That is not the problem, unfortunately. It just doesn't make much sense, whatever the problem is; and especially considering after a full RUU restock. That has always fixed whatever mess I have created in the past.
This rom should fix your problem. Dont forget to clear storage from bootloader. It will erase everything thoug. And follow the steps under show contents link.

I not sure if its a CID problem. The only thing I ever did was upgrade to the newest Hboot and load in the CM rom. even going back to the TMOUS rom does not fix the problem.
Its so bad, and never on 4g that im considering getting a new phone.

I'm in the same boat, friend. I've tried literally everything suggested, I'm just wondering what exactly happened in the flashing of the Maximus rom. The worst part being is that I GET 3g/H and then it drops back to E. It's so strange. The only thing I've not done is contact Tmobile about it, and i highly doubt that they would throttle my bandwidth without contacting me in some form or fashion.

my phone is still under warrenty. Im wondering if i am able to revert back to stock without them knowing if I can get a phone replacement.
From what I've read, it's doable; even with an unlocked phone. But I'd really like to know what in the dev's source code made this happen... it's a bit ridiculous.

I just wanted to say, that I did this and it worked!
I did this the first time, but i just flashed the rom with a full wipe.
This time what I did was go into TWRP and erased everything....and I mean everything except TWRP.
After that i flashed the rom and boot.img and everything works great. 4g all the time again!
Sucks that im back on an older version of jellybean, but oh well

Can you take me through the steps you took to achieve all of this? Thanks.

So what I did first was go into TWRP and selected wipe. Inside wipe i selected EVERYTHING, every little box. Then Wiped it.
This left nothing on the phone but the recovery. I then loaded on SuperSU from TWRP. I download the stock TMOUS rom that was posted earlier in this post.
In TWRP I mounted it and hooked it to computer and transfered the rom over.
Once the rom was on I did the install of the rom.
I rebooted the rom into bootloader.
Once in bootloader i put it into fastboot.
I had previous extracted the boot.img from the rom.
I sent the boot.img over via fastboot which restarted the phone.
Once it got all started up. No issues. I am on 4g 99% of the time now.
Im thinking the issue was definatly based in the CM rom.
Since this worked I wanted to test things out since my phone was pretty much stripped of everything.
I tried out Viper rom and a couple of other non CM based roms, and I have had no issues.
IM back on teh TMOUS rom though. Wifi calling will win over when i go overseas.
Thanks, but it did not work for me. It is a hardware issue on mine. Thanks again

Must be.
I did find something out though doing all my research. Did you ever at any point update the radio? TMobile uses some frequencies that some companies dont use.
It is my understanding that some of these roms are packed with radios that are generic and thus ment for multi carriers.
Not sure if thats your issue, but might want to look into.
Its nice being back on 4g though.
