[Q] Help, boot loop here?

I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
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)

I got stuck at step 2.5.. Pls help me out. Actually I used to flash ROM for i9000 a couple of times but for sensation this is my first time. I'm using sensation unlocked. I lived in Malaysia so most probably its asians version.

Hi,
Just as a matter of interest.
Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.
Then it may boot into your ROM...

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..

what did you do ???
ICS OTA update ?
or flashed ICS ROM directly via recovery from GB rom?
can you post the details of bootloader (HBOOT)

random stuck and reboot
Alright, here is how it goes... I bought this used sensation xe from a guy, the time I check the phone, it is already ota update. While that time the phone keep stuck and reboot.for few times. Maybe 30 minutes once. The whole phone suddenly freeze and then restart. So I decide to root it and install custom Rom, I thought that maybe custom Rom will works better, but not. I read some guides out there mention that in order to flash custom Rom, we need to unlock the phone first. So I unlock by using the HTC dev method. After that I flash dark forest ics Rom, but the stuck and reboot problem still remains there. So here is my bootloader. UNLOCKED , PYRAMID PVT SHIP S - ON RL. HBOOT 1.27.0000. any idea how to fix this? Please provide me step by step guide if yes. I have been confusing searching the forum.

ohh you got ics ota previusly...good things are easy now for you
now
1.you got rom on your sdcard or on pc ?..then extract the boot.img file from rom's zip file (usually present in kernels folder... if it has more than one boot.img choosethe one of your choice)
2.keep the boot.img in adb folder (assuming you got adb/factboot setup)
3.keep the device in fastboot mode and connect it to pc (bootloader then fastboot)
3.flash the boot.img via fastboot
command : "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
(you need to do this every time you install custom rom via custom recovery---to prevent this you can install latest 4EXT custom recovery 1.0.0.5 RC3 )
4.reboot ---then voila it should work

The Rom you mean is custom Rom? But I discover that after I flash the dark forest Rom, I can't flash any other custom Rom or kernel. It says (bad). Installation aborted . Later will try the method that you stated. The adb folder is on pc? You mean c: Android on my computer?

Lol.. I thought you are stuck at bootloop..
The above method I mentioned helps too as these random boots might happen due to kernel/module mismatch... So first do that and see the random reboots are gone.
If that didn't solve the issue
Then this random boots might be due to improper flash of rom... First if you got custom recovery installed.. Do a full wipe (use ARHD super wipe too if you want to) from recovery and then flash the rom again... See that solves the issue.. If still not then once again extract the boot.img and repeat the above process again

trying now, will leave the feedback later or soon. so what is the next step to get it S-OFF? is there easier methods?

i have done what you said on top, the boot.img method. so lets hope the phone goes well and doesnt stuck anytime. whats next?

When I was on a stock rom on my sensation the phone was all kinds of bad, it would restart randomly like you mention and it would always force close and reload sense...once I flashed a custom rom everything is perfect. So good I am scared to flash something else and get problems..sounds like you need to to superwipe and start all over. with s-off and everything.

well that was fast
got custom recovery? ...there might be an option to format sdcard
if you got 4EXT recovery...you'll have that option..dont know about cwm

if i cant format through CWM , then what else should I do. Its too late to flash 4EXT while the Install from zip option cant mount SD card. I tried on CWM Format / sdcard, but it says Error mounting SD CARD Skipping format...

lot of ppl got their sdcard fried while trying JB SOFF....the only option left for you is to try card reader...
also you can flash 4EXT via fastboot as i mentioned in my earlier posts...that method doesnt require sdcard
but worry not...now that you are SOFF...you can completely control your device

if i get a new sd card will this solve the problem? i'm afraid that after getting new sd card and the blank sd appear again.

Sensation 4G Boot Problems

I was attempting to root my phone and I believe my system files are now deleted or corrupted (This is my best guess from what I have read online) as my phone will not get past the boot screen which is the white background with the "htc" logo. I am able to hit the down volume button with the power button to see the screen where you see the following:
-Revoluntionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.1111
I have the PG58IMG.zip file on my SD Card and when in the above screen, it gives me the prompt "Do you want to start update?". I hit yes, it shows a successful update but when you reboot, it still refuses to boot the phone past the "htc" logo screen. I must admit that I did not do enough research before attempting this "Root" and I'm having difficultly understanding what to do next. If possible, I would like to get the phone back to factory setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

#1 - do you have a custom recovery installed?
#2 - remove the PG58IMG.zip file from your SD card or you will never be able to get past the bootloader.
#3 - if you REALLY want to go back to factory, you will need to install an official HTC RUU.

Thanks for the response JWhipple. Here are your answers:
1: Custom Recovery is installed, I've tried 2 different ones, still refuses to boot.
2: I have removed the zip file from the SD Card, still refuses to boot.
3: I haven't tried the HTC RUU yet because I still can't get the phone to boot.

If you boot the phone into bootloader mode you should be able to run the RUU. Someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Do a full wipe from recovery.....including the /system and /boot. Then reflash your ROM. Also, ensure your using the correct firmware for the ROM your using.

I have a similar problem, except that my update failed!! Can I just delete the firmware file and the phone will get back to normal????

The easiest way to solve your issue, providing you DO have a custom recovery e.g. 4EXT or Clockwork, would be to go to the Sensation Android Development sub-forum, find an appropriate ROM, and then flash it through recovery. There are many tutorials online explaining this. Alternatively you could search for "Sensation 4g RUU" which is basically the official program for PC which restores the stock firmware of the device. You do need to get the correct one for the 4G Sensation or you could experience some issues.

try use fastboot to install recovery

Thanks you very much for all the input on my problems with my phone! It's nice to see a friendly and helpful community here! I'll start with the new ROM now and update you guys shortly.

Hey tragik74, when you say "run RUU", how exactly do you run it? The only method I see for running anything is to make a PG58IMG.zip file and install that on a SD Card. Which I'm a having an issue with since now my phone shows locked but still has S-OFF.

[Q] Bricked phone?

Hi all. Was sorting through some stuff in my room the other day and found a Desire S
Don't know/remember where it came from and none of my friends remember giving me one.
Problem is, it seems to be bricked. No recovery, and using fastboot, I can't seem to flash a recovery img to it - just sits there doing nothing. Have left it for an hour and nothing happened.
Can obviously still get to the bootloader and fastboot, but can't do much from there. Flashing a new system.img just hangs as well.
Also got the RUU_Saga_Telstra_WWE_1.36.841.3_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_184558_signed.exe file and tried that, but that has been sitting there for half an hour saying rebooting to bootloader.
Have checked the SD card - it has a fat32 and ext3(maybe ext2 - can't remember) partition which sounds right.
Details on the bootloader as follows -
Revolutionary
SAGA OVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.98.1002
RADIO-3805.04.02.01M
eMMC-boot
Any ideas as to what may be wrong with it and how to get it working?
EDIT - I have read through alot of posts, however, I don't know the history of this phone, what it was running, what recovery etc.

hmmm revolutionary s-off so it should already have some sort of custom recovery installed
you can't run RUU directly over 6.98 hboot.
put recovery zip file in sd card and try install via hboot?

Should a recovery zip just have the img file plus an md5 file inside it? (never actually looked before now) And how does one install it from hboot? If it is called recovery.zip will it just be picked up and installed automagically? I really don't know much when it comes to actual Android HTC phones. Have mucked around lots with the Touch Pro 2 and HD2 (installing android and WP7), but never one that runs Android by default.

yes it's just img plus md5 plus version...but you have a "bricked" device anyway why not just give it a try...wouldn't really hurt...that's just my dumb thought
rename the file PG88IMG.zip, put in sd card root directory, boot into bootloader and normally it would be picked up automatically and you'll have option to install it.

Tried this just now - using 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5
Says parsing, then goes back to main bootloader screen. Selecting recovery just goes back to the main bootloader screen

Just trying this now -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387484
Has been sitting there about 5 minutes (used fastboot, not android flasher). Will go for a smoke and see what it's doing when I get back. It either is really effing slow, or properly bricked. Fastboot on my Xoom and Atrix were much quicker if it's the former.

sorry my bad. for this method to work the zip file probably needs to have an android-info.txt inside, which 4ext doesn't.
sorry

Still no luck - sat there for 10 minutes and did nothing. I think it may be well and truly bricked

Ok, so found part of the issue - P88IMG.zip is the bootloader/hboot/whatever the hell it's called, not recovery. Found a stock p88img, attempting to install now in the hope I can run the RUU afterwards. Hopefully it won't sit there for an hour doing not much

[Q] S-off mistake

Hey!
I tried to flash the Maximus rom onto my one s today and I needed quite a few tries.
Unfortunately I forgot to check if my phone is s off and it isn't. Now I flashed the rom and after I start the phone I only see the htc starting screen for a few seconds and then it turns black and flashes a little bit every 4-5 seconds.
Do you guys know how I can turn the device to s off and then flash it?
Thank you so so much!
Tom

Go to bootloader and conect the phone with youre PC. Read carefully the description. Follow the steps.

Thanks for the answer but the problem is that I can't start the phone to activate the developers mode or do anything else! It would have to be through fastboot or recovery! Also my computer doesn't recognize the phone, even though I was able to push something on the phone through adb sideload!

Did you make a NANDROID backup with a custom recovery? If so, restore from that.

I didn't!

What recovery do you have on there? You can flash a custom recovery on there like TWRP.
If you get TWRP on there, you can mount the sdcard and copy another ROM on there. Then do a full wipe and install the zip and then flash the boot.img to get something like CM11 on.
Alternately, you can relock your bootloader with fastboot usb, then install an RUU to bring it back to stock, then try something like moonshine.io to get S-OFF, then try maximusHD again.

I do have TWRP on there!
So, how does it work? I choose Mount, then which options do I pick? And does my computer automatically recognize the phone in the list of the connected devices or do I have to download a special program?
Which rom should I take and how exactly does it work? Is there a tutorial out there so you don't have to do all the work?
Thank you so much!!!

So reboot into bootloader. First see what HBOOT you are on. It will determine what ROM you should try.
If you have 2.15 you go with ROMS that support 2.15. If 2.16 then go with something that supports 2.16.
As far as mounting, go into TRWP. Choose MOUNT and choose Internal Storage. This will allow you to mount the internal storage on your computer.

I guess mine is 2.13 right? I don't have enough posts to post pictures so please delete the space between https:// and the rest of the link!

When I go to mount, I can't click on internal storage! I choose all I could, but the last two are "unclickable"

Thanks for taking up with my stupidity!

Someone chime in, but maybe you will want to upgrade your HBOOT to 2.15???
What is the carrier? Where are you located?
This _may_ be your RUU - don't run it until we know your carrier/location:
http://mobilefileserver.com/download.aspx?get=167185
PJ40IMG_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.9_Radio_1.15.50.05.29_10.30.50.08L_release_314432_signed
Running an RUU will get you back to stock. After that, you may want to upgrade your ROM so it's compatible with moonshine.io or other S-OFF application. Once you become S-OFF you are much more free to do many things to your phone.
BTW: in your picture data might be the the choice to try. Try and mount data and see if you see your files on there.

I'm using AT&T right now, but the phone doesn't have a simlock. My location is a little bit complicated, I'm in Wisconsin right now, but the phone is from Germany, and I'll go back to Germany in about two months.
My computer doesn't recognize the phone at all, but makes the noise like you unplug something...
How would I upgrade the HBOOT?

I hope you have fastboot installed on your computer (windows?) if not:
http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
Boot into the boot loader, make sure it ways fastboot USB
On your computer in terminal, type: fastboot devices
Hopefully it will return something.

Okay, finally I'm back in Germany and have time to try it!
I did what you just told me and it returned this:
C:\Users\Tommi>fastboot devices
HT23RW400512 fastboot
Thats good, right?
So what would the next steps be?
Thank you so much for your help!

Anyone?

Is there anyone who can help me?

OK you said you had TWRP. Start up in recovery, go to mount and then select internal storage.
See if the sdcard partition mounts on your computer.
If so, at that point you can put a rom on there and also the boot.img that you need to start your phone up.

No, I can't mount the internal storage!
Somewhere I saw how to fix it before but I don't remember how and where I saw it!

Sorry for all the stupid questions And thank you all for the help!
