HTC Sensation can't boot into CWM recovery and can't be charged - HTC Sensation

Hi,
Since yesterday I can not use my Sensation.
It all started since my device freezes during launching the camera application after I installed the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.5.2 rom.
In order to solve the issue I have decided to boot into recovery mode and reboot system now - it helped me before.
Afterwards, my device froze in the same place once again while I was trying to start the camera aplication and I decided to do factory reset via Bootloader/HBOOT screen. During the procces, my device stopped responding and shutted down (I'm not sure why, maybe because mt battery was below 60% at the same point?)
Then I have tried to turn on the phone and I realized that it entered to boot loop.
In order to fix the problem - I have tried to boot into recovery mode but I could not becuase my device entered to a boot loop once again.
I have tried to install CWM recovery v5.0.0.8 and the installation was succseful.
After that, I have tried to boot into recovery mode once again and it failed - the device entered to a boot loop.
Now I can not use my phone and charge it at all - I just can boot into Bootloader/HBOOT screen.
Please Help Me!!

With my G2 I was able to get into recovery after a boot loop by using adb.
When the phone starts turning on keep typing: adb reboot recovery
I had to do it many times before it worked but I got it.

Once you fix your Recovery issue be sure to flash the newest version of Revolution HD 3.6.0, big difference!

Isn't the latest version of recovery 5.0.2.0? or some thing along those lines.

Sure is. And remember to do a "Super Wipe" before re-flashing.

adb can not find my device while I am writing adb reboot recovery..
"error: device not found"
My device still can not recovery and stuck in boot loop.
Help Me!!
Please.

Can you still able to boot into hboot? Remove the battery put it back press power button plus volume down at the sane time. Once you're in hboot you should see recovery. If that don't work download the ruu post by football in development section rename it to PG58IMG.zip place it in youre sdcard then reboot into Hboot and flash.

I have tried to rename it to PG58IMG.zip and place it in my sdcard then reboot into Hboot and flash, but nothing happend.
Next I wrote super CID 11111111 and after that I ran the RUU .exe file and started the update while my phone in connected to the pc in fastboot mode..
After that, my phone still stuck in boot loop.

You're from Europe right? You don't need to connect anything just copy the Ruu to your sdcard and rename it PG58IMG and reboot into hboot it will auto recognized. If that don't work than I suggest you re root through evolutionary again. If all else fail send it back get a new one.

You have supercid? But you bought your phone from Europe right? Then you root your phone through revolution method? Try a different ruu, once you're in hboot then use volume key go down to fastboot and hit the power button u should see recovery. I don't know why u shouldn't see it.

Manually install clockworkmod
Factory restore

Installed htc drivers, sdk drivers (cannot see device)

You need to have debugging checked in your settings menu of phone. Also download and install HTC Sync, you want the drivers, then uninstall HTC Sync. Also do you have fastboot drivers from SDK tools installed?

Yes drivers are install , debugging checked, uninstall HTC Sync, fastboot drivers from SDK tools installed.
Finally got an older firmware to flash. Then was able to supercid.
But Recovery still gets “!” error and “E;Can’t open /cache/recovery/command” which also blocks any downloads from sd card
Tried force flashing by renaming updates same as firmware one at time. Seemed to upload alright. But soft wear version stays at 2.3.4
How can I fix recovery’s “E;Can’t open /cache/recovery/command” error so can update from sd card. This been problem since beginning.

[Q] HTC Sensation Boot Loop after S-off

First post. Hi all. I have rooted phones for years now and am finally at a loss of what to do with this current phone I have. I have a HTC sensation. I just S-offed it and was trying to install clolckwork mod 5.0.0.8 and it says model id incorrect and I am stuck in a boot loop. I must have downloaded 15 different PG58IMG files and they all say the same thing..... model id incorrect. I just got this phone in the mail. Revolutionary S-offed it. Then when it asked "Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually" from the [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. Does anyone have any idea of how to get this phone working again??

I have successfully rooted a HTC sensation before. My phone got stolen out of my work truck and this is the replacement phone I just got yesterday and was going to do go through all the stuff to install android revolution HD on it. and right after s-off it boot looped. Next step was to install clockwork mod and thats where im stuck. I have no recovery installed because that was the next step. Any insight/help appreciated thanks
If you a have sd card adapter, you can download CWM Recovery form Here rename it PG58IMG and put on the root of sd card.
Put your sd card back into the phone and reboot in bootloader and it will install recovery. When you are done, delete or rename PG58IMG from sd card.
Btw what is your model Id?
Download terminal emulator from the market and detect it by typing "getprop ro.mid" (without quotes).
Inside the PG58IMG there is a text file with MID and CIDs which you could eventually edit in case of mismatch.
Hope it helps!
Also, instead of CWM you could try installing 4ext
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
Ok I will try that. I looked under battery on my phone it say PG58100. SInce I cant get into my phone because of the boot loop I cannot download that program you mentioned. So should I open the android-info.txt in the PG58IMG and change
modelid: PG5813000
to
modelid: PG5810000
????
and then try the update?

Command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
Just wondering if you flashed a wrong PG58IMG (ICS firmware instead of recovery).
You are on ICS firmware now but your rom is a GB I guess. This can be the reason of boot loop.
If this is the case read carefully and download the right PG58IMG (firmware 1.17 if your rom is a Gingerbread) from here.
Unfortunately all the bootloader flashable zips are named PG58IMG, but their content is different.
Heres what I did. Took phone out of the box. turned it on. used it for a couple minutes. Then I did the whole revolutionary s-off process. Then I did this
-----------------------------------------------
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
--------------------------------------------------
I downloaded the older 5.0.0.8 because it worked for me in the past when I rooted my old HTC sensation.
Now its saying no image even though I renamed it to PG58IMG.zip
And it still stuck on a loop. SO alls I did so far was s-off a brand new phone.
Thank you all. Phone is back to normal. I did the 1.17 firmware that kualmente mentioned. So now my phone is a stock phone but just S-off'd. The next step is to install a recovery. Do i even have to install clockwork mod or can I just put on 4EXT recovery? if so how. I was just following directions from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And step two says to install clockwork mod so thats what I was going to do. but I know i need 4EXT later anyway to install android revolution
I personally prefer 4ext touch recovery but basically both cwm and 4ext have same functions.
There is a nice tool to easily install 4ext recovery touch HERE
I'm all back up and running android revolution 6.5.5
Thanks for all your quick responses.

You flashed the firmware (otherwise you wouldn't have hboot 1.27).
Most probably you did'nt flash the rom and you are still on GB. This is why it bootloops.
Did you install a custom recovery (cwm or 4ext)? If not do it and then flash the rom from recovery

1. Remove your sdcard (because you have a PG58IMG on it and I don't know which one).
2. Boot into bootloader and connect with adb and enter the following:
Code:
adb devices
[COLOR="Red"]make sure your device is detected[/COLOR]
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[COLOR="red"]wait for it to write[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[COLOR="red"]wait to reboot into bootloader[/COLOR]
fastboot getvar cid
[COLOR="red"]confirm it reads "11111111"[/COLOR]
(now power off your device)
3. Now using a card reader on your computer, delete your current PG58IMG (because I don't know what you have on there).
Download the 3.32 firmware from here:

Download the superwipe***.zip from here:

Place them on the root of your sdcard and put the card back into your phone.
4. Now boot into bootloader (power/volume down) and wait for it to detect the firmware. (volume up to accept) wait for it to flash and then press power to reboot when it prompts.
5. Power off, remove sdcard and delete your PG58IMG on computer, re-insert and boot into bootloader and select recovery.
Select and flash the superwipe***.zip

If you have Sensation XE Go and download this one PG58IMG.zip, it will install Stock GB rom for you http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Sensation-XE/ , in case that you have ordinary sensation, download 04.RUU-Pyramid-HTC-Europe-1.50.401.1-Radio-10.56.9035.00U-10.14.9035.01-M-release-223042-signed.exe from http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/.
Procedures for PG58IMG:
1UT the file on your sd card
2. Press volume down and power (together)
3.follow the instruction on screen
Procedures for RUU
1. Start the .RUU-Pyramid-HTC-Europe-1.50.401.1 on PC
2.Turn on your phone with volume down and power to enter in bootloader
3.Follow the instruction on PC screen
4. When asked connect your phone to PC
Hope it help

sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves

how do i get my pyramid back to normal?

i've been trying for about 7 hours now (no joke) to get my phone fixed
i'm pretty familiar with rooting/hacking/ROMS on my droidx and if anything went wrong i just plugged in the phone and SBF back to stock - simple. i assumed i could do that for the sensation but that is obviously not the case.
my first time with the sensation i got the bootloader unlocked/cwm installed/installed CM9 and got stuck on the CM9 loading screen. i think i never got the s-off to work, but didn't realize it.
last 7 hours have been spent trying all kinds of things to get it back to normal but nothing seems to work.
i am now stuck on the green htc logo at boot every time
i can currently access cwm 5.8.0.9 / fastboot
fastboot shows:

i know how to use adb/access the fastboot from a command line
i have htc sync and htc drivers
i have one x all in one kit
i've tried a couple of RUU but they didn't recognize my device
finally got an RUU (RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed) to work but i got an error telling me the device could not be recovered
i just want to get the phone back to stock so i can start over and try again!
any help/leads would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not 100% on this, so get another opinion, but since you have the bootloader still, try to attain S-Off using the wire method.
Edit: Scratch that, you need a stock rom that's rooted for it. If you can boot CWM, restore the nandroid backup that you hopefully made. If not, make sure you wiped data/cache before installing CM9. If you forgot to, wipe them and reinstall CM9. There's also a guide floating around about installing and booting custom roms with S-ON that could help you out.
Since you have the official ruu Rom. You will double click on the ruu and since HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility pops up, you'll go into c:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\Temp and you'll search rom.zip. You will put it on the sd card and rename it to PG58IMG.zip and you will start your phone into bootloader, and when it asks, proceed with the update and you should be fine.

Lol I was about to answer you
You just need to flash the boot.img of the rom separately that will do the job
For more details refer to

Htc sensation factory rest?

My htc sensation is dead?
It works almost good, but if i turn wifi on, it wil get stuck when i turn it on. The logo above in the display from Wifi isn't there.
And the factory reset won't continue from the start....it get stuck from the beginning, and it only shows the HTC logo and the white background.
Can i still save my Htc?

did you flash the 4ext recovery successfully?
by the way your device is it in working condition or not?
can you boot it in the OS?

4ext is asking for root.

So i connected it with the cable to the pc for internet.

you must flashing 4ext recovery from fastboot...
download this 4ext recovery.img file from here..
extract that recovery.zip file..then copied recovery.img file to the sdk\platform-tools\[this is the place of your adb.exe and fastboot.exe]
then boot your phone into bootloader and select FASTBOOT..then connect your phone to pc..until indicator in phone is "FASTBOOT-USB"
then open cmd and change source to the platform-tools folder..then run command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"..then after finish flashing recovery.. type command "fastboot reboot-bootloader"..then you can check to select RECOVERY from bootloader to go into 4ext recovery..and if success booting to 4ext recovery...you can continued flashing a custom rom that you want...done..
if you don't have SDK yet...you can read this guide in here.., and download link for sdk already in that thread too..
hope this help..
