Frankly he should have been more carefull. Does the phone display the HBOOT bootloader or can he not even get into that?

nope he was flashing the atrix and confuse the roms because they both start H..It doesnt turn on at all.

Take your friends phone either to a service center or send it directly back to HTC for repair, only thing that can be done

Just out of curiosity, can HTC find out whether another RAM has been flashed, and if so do they charge a fee or just send it back to you?

Help!? Sensation XE Official RUU on Sensation

Hi, I need to know if anyone has tried this. I need to be able to flash my 'original' Sensation with the Official XE Stock RUU. I'm currently running Android Revolution HD and have been experiencing a lot of FC's.
I would be so grateful if any of you clever guys can help me.
I am S-OFF and Super Cid

Yes, you can.
But you'll probablybe better off with newer 1.50 ruu

Thanks. I'll give it a go. It does pick the phone up and thinks its doing a update so it is connecting properly. I don't think it wants to install as it picks it up as not being a 'XE'. Also could I ask, where can I locate the RUU you mentioned?

Do your search first, but if you really struggle feel free to pm me. I'll help if I can
Correct, 1.50 is OG Sensation ruu, but its newer that 1.73, xe ruu. If you still want to use XE RUU, but can't do it, pm me, we'll try to work it out. I'd start with reinstalling drivers and redownloading RUU.

The error is unknown. It says it just as it starts flashing.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
You could try this:
1. Set your phone so Super CID (you need to be S-OFF to do this)
2. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed
3. Go to Settings>Power and turn off 'Fast Boot'
4. Turn the phone off
5. Turn it back on whilst holding the volume down button - this will take you to the HBOOT screen (it'll say HBOOT above the menu)
6. Use the volume button(s) to highlight 'FASTBOOT' and press power to select FASTBOOT mode (it'll say FASTBOOT instead of HBOOT)
7. Connect to your PC
8. Once driver is installed, run the RUU file as it's a Windows program
9. Follow the instructions
Use the newest RUU as well, which should be 1.73.401.4

[Q] Help : Bootloader erased, Sensation is now bricked

Dear all
As I was flashing the ICS Firmware file I changed my mind and pulled the sd-card out and instead of pushing the Vol Down to cancel I pushed the Vol up.
The phone then started to update without the SD-Card in, I suppose it was erasing everything and now the phone is dead.
No charging light, Nothing. It is not detected by the PC what ever I do.
Is there any possible way to re-flash the bootloader again?
Please Help, my phone is out of warranty.
Any help is appreciated.
Best Regards

What you did was a very foolish thing, never flash firmware if you are unsure or even if you are, never ever pull sd card or battery out once it has started.
The only thing I can think of is try flashing an RUU. if not, u need to take it to a service center

Well, since adb won't see it, the ruu wont either. Congrats, its a brick Just call HTC and tell them you were installing an ota update when it died... You might be lucky and have it repaired

Don't know what possessed you to pull out the sd card when you could have just pressed down button. If it's completely bricked, chances are HTC will replace since they can't access anything to check your history.

They will repair it for sure as it is not warranty covered and I will pay for it , But I wonder how much it will cost and which part they will change.

The phone is out of warranty. So they will likely change the main board if they can't flash a new boot loader.

Usually means it can only be repaired using special software not available to us. Always know 100% what you're doing when you do low-level flashes and never, ever change your mind about anything mid-flash.
HTC can flash it, but depending on how you explain the situation to them, it might cost some change.

It can void it with HTC but not with your carrier if you bought the phone from your carrier you should be ok I sent three bricked lg phones to TMobile all replaced for free no charge but he is right if you are unsure just wait for the official though I disagree they are not the same as custom roms the ones here are much better plus you have options aosp, aokp, sense 3.6 and 4.0 plus other things but up to you I wouldn't have my phone Abby other way I think it's worth it but if you are not sure just wait til you are sure

i assume that it is your battery that causes that.check if it loses the contact
otherwise as you are S-OFF try to reflash your current fw

i suppose you know what is your fw version
the only thing you have to do is rename the zip file as PG58IMG.zip,place it in the root of the sd card,then reboot your device into bootloader and just follow the onscreen instructions
see also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Once your rooted and soff with custom Rom the reboots should stop. I had the same exact problem. When I was running stock I was getting constant reboots. It seemed like when ever I did a task it rebooted. Once I rooted s off and I installed my custom roms the rebooting stopped never to return again. I still am unsure what was causing the rebooting . I'm just happy its gone. I've been rooted now about a year and no problems! I love it! I don't regret it for a second. It's well worth the effort! Best wishes
