Unlocked Bootloader, Bootloop, Device is S-On, Help! - HTC Sensation

Hi,
My sensation is dead, again.
After I flashed a stock rom and made it S-On the device worked 'till I rebooted it.
Since the reboot - my device stuck in boot loop.
The rom that I flashed before I made it S-On was RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_.
My device is supercid 11111111.
The bootloader that came with the rom was locked so I unlocked it via htc dev site.
I have tried to flash stock rom once again but it failed.
Error details:
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR, The Rom Update Utility cannot update your Android phone, Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I have tried flashing three different roms and I keep getting this error above.
I can only enter the HBOOT screen menu and connect the device via fastboot mode.
Please Help Me!

I have tried to flash a rom while the bootloader was unlocked and relocked, but nothing happend.

Hello,
I googled a little , and apparently the only solution is to install the original ROM that came with your phone (good luck finding that) , you can always try to contact your carrier and ask them. I read some different suggestions , but that one was the only one with happy endding.
Good luck , and may the force be with you

Wouldn't this just be one of the stock RUU that is posted in the DEV section?
OP, hope over to the Dev section and one of the Stickies has all of the RUU's for the Sensation and a Guide for flashing the RUU to go back to S-ON and back to Stock.

I have the similar situation. "Install the original ROM" will not help.
Installed successfully and still boot loop. I have no more ideas.
If some one have, please help.

[RESOLVED] I bricked my Desire S

My phone is unbranded , unrooted & stock using ROM 1.47.401.4.
I have downloaded the latest ota 2.10.401.4 and in that zip there was a firmware zip in it.
i renamed the firmware zip to pg88img.zip and put it in my phone's sd root.
After the reboot of the phone has updated the firmware BUT thats all.
If i reboot the phone stucks on the HTC logo but also i can go to the bootloader options if on the reboot i hold down the volume button.
Is there any way to restore the phone?
I try to flash the stock rom but nothing.
Can anybody help please??
Resolution:
If anyone has the same problem and has hboot-2.00.0002 & S-ON you have to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com site following all the steps and flash the EXT4 Recovery via FASTBOOT and NOT ADB.!!
Then go to recovery and flash any custom rom.

It says locked but nothin is locked. Try to flash 4ext recovery over adb. Should work I think. Instructions in general forum .
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Thanks.
i'll try and see whats going to happen.
Which update did you download? There are a couple available - odexed & deodexed.
Maybe worth trying which ever one you didn't download the first time?
Also are you giving it plenty of time to load? First boot from a fresh install always takes a long time.
Don't worry, you don't have a brick

Using the http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions i managed to get my bootloader UNLOCKED but it still says S-ON.
Tryed to flash the 4EXTvia adb but it says ERROR no device found.
Any other instruction on how to get my DS working again?

You need to get your phone s-off using one of the methods in this part of the forum. Then you can install ext4 & new rom

HOW???
My hboot is HBOOT-2.00.0002 and the revolution to s-off is only for hboots 0.98.0000 & 0.98.0002.
Can you be more specific?
The only way that i can communicate to my DS is only via fastboot.
Can anybody help or the phone goes to the trash?? What should i do??
Waiting for stock RUU 2.10.401.4
I believe that the only way to restore the phone is to wait till the stock RUU 2.10.401.4 leak someday..
If anybody else can help me please do.
Thanks.

That would be a choice, but I would say you'll be better of to use xtc-clip to gain s-off, after this everything is possible or just give it back for warranty and let them repair it,
because it's still s-on, but just to know, what else where in the zip?
Could it be that you forgot something, have you tried a factory reset?

Xtc-clip works with every version on every HTC device.
Go to a second hand handy shop that also does repairs and stuff like this maybe they get one, I s-offed mine this way for €20^^
Swyped from my HTC Desire S
What did you download originally?
Was it an official ota update, or from this forum?
If you tried to flash the odexed version, many users have problems with this. Can you try the deodexed version?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
I was with the original shipped rom 1.47.401.4 S-ON & UNROOTED.
I downloaded via my computer http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Saga_S...1.47.401.4_release_217301kjfuq12qqm0wuhg7.zip
In that zip file there was another zip file called Firmware.zip.
I renamed the firmware.zip to pg88img.zip and i put it in the root of my sd card.
I rebooted holding the volume down button and the phone went to bootloader mode found the pg88img.zip and flashed it.
After that the phone goes only to bootloader showing

Is there any way to flash the OTA via fastboot since over adb i get the message device not found..???
Do you have a "recovery" option in the fastboot menu? If so try to go to this menu and see if adb recognises it then. But you have probably tried this already, right.
With adb, when you type 'adb devices', your phone is not shown, correct?
I'm not sure about getting S-off with the new hboot, I did mine with the old hboot.
You could try to download the deodexed rom on this page and flash that, but you need to get into recovery first.
Sorry, not much help I'm afraid.
Did you try to install these fastboot drivers?
Unfortunately i have tried everything so far but didn't work.
The xtc clip maybe is the only way.. Or if the s-off solution of revolution will support in future my hboot and do it that way.
I also noticed that when i tried to flash the stock rom i had 1.47.401.4 and was stuck on the HTC logo the update software said that i had rom 11.10.401.4.!!!!!
Since i flashed the original fota why the version said 11.10.401.4 and not 2.10.401.4??
WTF IS GOING ON.??
Well, I still don't think you have a brick - you can get into the bootloader, you just need your pc to recognise it via USB.
Have you tried flashing the previous hboot version you had? To enable revolutionary s-off?
Also have a look around the general Android forums, there are some very experienced peeps there who may be able to help.

You should ask this question on the XTC phone tools forum to raskal to be 100% sure that this new version is covered (see link on the XTC in my sig)
and as @tectas has said, there is still a possibility that you are still able to return under warranty and allow them to resolve it for you..
sorry unable to assist with confidence.
EDIT: see this thread that I created a while back that contains another link within it to lots of XTC owners around the world within it, but I'd confirm that the new HBOOT is covered before you run XTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076937&highlight=xtc
I ask them. Thanks anyway.
The 3 things left.
1. to ask xtc forum if my hboot-2.00.0002 is supported.
2. to wait till revolution s-off supports in the future my hboot.
3. to wait till someone leakes the stock signed ruu 2.10.401.4
That's all unfortunately..

[Q] HTC Sensation 4G stuck. Won't boot. Bricked?

Hello,
I am having some trouble with my T-mobile Sensation 4G. I was trying to install a Rom and seemed to have failed. At this point it will not boot past the first white screen with the green HTC logo.
I can get it into fastboot and Clorkwork mod recovery. However, I am not really sure what to do.
I have tried superwipe and it fails. Bootloader screen is as follows:

If I need to provide more information just let me know. Any help to get it back up and running would be great. I really appreciate your time and help.
Thank you in advance.
Most likely the rom will not boot on your current firmware. What rom is installed?
Option 1 is to restore a backup since you can access recovery.
Option 2 is to put the correct firmware on your SD using a PC, reinsert and let your phone update.

I don't think any rom is installed. It never got that far.
I first tried to update using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
However the update failed. After that the phone was just going into a reboot loop when I tried to start it up. I then tried to flash a new rom in the hopes it would fix whatever problem the first failure caused. I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was able to update the firmware from the linked page on that guide:
Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU
I then tried to flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 rom. It failed and when i tried to reboot it just hangs as described above. I tried to use superwipe and it also fails. I am sure at this point it is obvious I am lost.
Option 1 is not an option as I don't have a backup.
Option 2 may be an option, but I apparently don't know what the correct firmware is.....
Thanks again for the help.
I went back into fastboot and then recovery and tried to use superwipe, but that failed.
Option 1 is a no go because I do not have a backup.
Use this firmware instead.. it's worked well for me no matter which ICS rom I've installed..
Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1412618
Don't get it confused with the one you've already tried. Then after you flash that version of the firmware, remove it from sdcard and flash a rom. It's worked for me as it should for you as well.. Hope this helped.. I'm also assuming that you've Super CID your device....
if this helped, slap the thanks button... thanks

So still on stock rom, ie Gingerbread, since 2x flashes have failed?
If so, 3.12 is the correct firmware to get it to boot.

I was not able to boot normally after installing this firmware, but it did allow me to complete the superwipe. That was failing beforehand. Once I was able to wipe the phone I was then able to install a rom. The phone is back up and running now. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate you guys taking the time.

HTC Sensation XE needs S-OFF from fastboot

Hi this is my first post on xda, but I have used for various reasons before, so I hope someone can help me.
I am going to try and put as much info as possible on here but to be honest I am a bit of a noob.
My phone is basically stuck on the HTC white screen but CAN load into fastboot & recovery. I got into this trouble by trying to root my phone.
I managed to unlock using htcdev, but unfortunately flashed the kernel before the S-OFF process, so now I am stuck.
Every guide I have seen requires you to enable de-bug mode in the phones settings in order to S-OFF, but obviously I cannot access my phones settings to do this.
When i load the phone by holding power and vol down, i get this;

I have booted into recovery (clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0) and tried to install zips but none work. If I am right, in order to write to boot partition i need to be S-OFF?
ANY help would be much appreciated as I haven't had phone access for 2 days now
If any more information is needed let me know. Thanks in advance!

Ok you flashed some wrong kernel and had this issue?
Check for asskickar guide of "flashing roms with SON" in sensation general section.. There do the step extra 1.. (that step is from.. Fastboot only) but use the stock ics boot.img linked there
That will get you out from bootloop
Then you can try soff/custom rom blah blah blah

Trying to Custom rom Hboot 1.18

OK, so I am trying to root and load a rom on my friends HTC Sensation. I used the toolkit, and unlocked the bootloader, and installed a custom recovery. (have had all 3 recoveries at this point).
The Bootloader shows

I tried to then install Viper Rom, and it boot loops, I tried to install what I thought was a stock rom and it hangs on the white HTC screen for well over 20 minutes. I can't get s-off because it won't boot up.... i can't figure out how to upgrade firmware because I'm not s-off. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I am downloading an RUU, but literally have no idea if its the right one. my CID supposedly is T-MOB010.
Please point me in the right direction as to how to end up with Viper Rom on this phone.
Thanks.

relock the bootloader then run the RUU
to relock bootloader
fastboot oem lock
then connect the phone from fastboot to pc ..the phone should say FASTBOOT USB if connected properly
then run the RUU
EDIT - please close thread... I didn't realize I had to be bootloader locked. just on a whim locked it back up and it worked like a charm.
thanks for the help.

From the looks of it, seems like Those are ICS RUUs so that won't work. (Downgrade isn't possible without S-OFF which seriously I won't recommend)
Either:
- Find a JellyBean RUU.
OR
- Find a JellyBean OTA. (Though for OTA you will have to be on Stock ROM and Stock Recovery)

I tried to manually install the second RUU but it said HBOOT fails so when I researched it appeared that mine is HBOOT-2.15.0000 and the RUU is older version,
what do you mean find a JellyBean RUU ? another Rogers RUU ?

I meant to say that these RUUs hold ICS stuff in it. Which is why it won't work since your phone is on JellyBean.
You need to find and Run a JellyBean RUU for Rogers.

Okay, I couldn't find a JB RUU for Rogers. But I found an OTA.
You can find all the RUUs/OTAs Here.
OTA specific to your phone is in above link or Here Directly.
When you download it, be sure to match the MD5 checksums of the downloaded file to that of the file on server. MD5 hashes are given on the website. Long bizarre number.
For the OTA to work, you need to have:
- Stock ROM
- Stock Recovery
For further material on how to flash an OTA (Since it won't work normally by flashing it over anything via custom recovery), follow This Guide.
Though it is for VilleC2 or the S3 variant, the rule is the same for S4.
I know it's a bit unusual process, but it's the only way to avoid doing the S-OFF which poses numerous problems afterwards.

since I dont have the stock ROM , is it possible to fix this?
I heard OTA is different from RUU, will that cause more problems ?
thank you again

Doesn't cause problems but won't let you update if anything other than stock. That's how it is different.
You can avoid using Stock Recovery, by editing updater script. That is explained in the afore mentioned thread.
And to get stock ROM you an use a nandroid backup of stock ROM and then flash this OTA.

Hey
Did you ever manage to get your phone back to the stock ROM? I am stuck exactly at the same place as you. All numbers about my phone are the same too.
I cannot find any suitable RUU or nandroid online. Could you please point me to one?
Best,
Vic
