[NEED DEV. HELP] Stuck in Safe Mode Sensation - HTC Sensation

Hello people,
i read some post of safe mode, but no one solved my problem..
my htc sensation is always in safe mode in every ROMS that i installed..
I think i have one partition with error, because my Sensation just after showing the HTC logo with white screen on boot, it loading something that disable or thinks that the button vol, down is pressed, and enter always in SAFE MODE and the button don´t work in ROM.
Someone can help me with this?
Regards

Anyone can help me?

Looks like there is a problem with your SIM card, things to check off the top of my head would be that your SIM isn't damaged, try your SIM in another phone, Try another SIM in your phone, and replace the SIM anyway. report back the results.

I use my SIM in a HTC Trophy..
I think i need to install a vodafone original ROM and then if my phone is over the safe mode, unlock it.. because i can´t do anything in safe mode, that´s why i cant unlock it, maybe...
Regards

Come on people, is there someone that haved the same problem?
I make a progress, i unlock it already, but in witch ROM i install, the phone is stuck in SAFE MODE,
I can´t install app, because in Safe Mode i can´t view it.
If i install one MIUI ROM or one old old ROM, the phone reboot normaly.. is there something to upgrade, because i think it is one especific configuration that is not updated and give a bug in one program that cause the reboot in safe mode...
Someone?
Regards

I personally haven't seen this issue before exactly. Normally when that image comes up (as I can't read what it says) it is an issue with the phone not detecting the SIM, hence why I gave you those trouble shooting tips. Theoretically (to my knowledge) by rooting the phone and installing a custom ROM there should be no carrier restrictions on your SIM and it shouldn't matter if you have a vodafone ROM on it or not.
If anyone is more knowledgeable please feel free to correct me if im wrong.

thank, the problem with SIM is solved, i do everything new again...
But still suck i the "safe mode". ..

Hello friends,
I´m think in one thing, i need someone that send me some files of sensation configurations, because i think my Sensations is overclock too far or some bad startup app or set a bad setting.
Can anyone share with me files? and how i can put it on mt sensation?
Regards

Try to run the correct ruu for your software/carrier from here?

Ok follow these steps and tell me exactly what happensat each step:
Download a superwipe and flash that,
Download a ROM and flash that,
boot into ROM and see what happens, if it works great if not,
Download compatible kernel and flash that

One thing happend,
My Sensation when boot normal (Home screen) the vol down key, dont activate nothing is useless, but when i 'm bootloader it works...
I make the test keys with CWM and this key don´t work, only works in bootloader to move down and to activate the bootloader at startup.
In ROM's and CWM wont work.. is useless.

Hello prootc1,
I'm unable to get into "safe mode".
I wanted to try that so that I could freely search for a way of getting out of it.
Have you encountered a method for getting into safe mode in your multiple threads.
(I have tried to boot with vol down in the way sts_fin suggested, but that simply gets me into the bootloader.)
Edit: I've managed to put my Sensation in safe mode by trying all button press combinations in bootloader. Pressing VolUp +VolDown while powering up and holding them until you get a second vibration -it happend while I was in my bootanimation- lets the phone continue to boot in safe mode.
So now I can at least experiment with getting out of it .
Question: do you get one or two vibations during boot process? (Or any other number?)
Question: have you verified that there absolutely no dust or dirt under you volumebuttons-wip and the it is able to 'wiggle' freely?
You could also verify this by booting without the cover/backpanel. Please try it.

How do you get into safe mode in the first place?
Just curious because the only time I've gotten into safe mode was because my phone was wet

I've verified the usage of all keys in safe mode and in my case there is no difference.
I suspect it's worth looking at this as a hardware problem with your volume key, just in case.

follow this to get a dirty way to start from scratch...
PLEASE EDIT THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A 32A VERSION!!!
i think that is why the radio is pwned.... i believe the ion is a 32B "device"
good luck
do nothing, no working buttons and no adb shelling (no any connection with pc)
try to pull the battery with the device powered on..
then hold home as you put the battery back in.

What?
Before you even try to flash your device, first try to find out the diff between a and b devices, htc and google branded devices.
If you dowwnload ION official rom and flash, you shuld at least know what device it is made for, dont expect htc to tell you..
And dont blame forums for own stupidity.

I was saying that so that since he already tried to install a 32B radio, that if he were to get it up again, to install the right radio.
same problem here, bricked.
I am a newbie here, was using Cyanogen mod and myHero 1.1.2 without any problems (32A)
Wanted to try JAC's mod, hence updated my radio/spl.
Radio update went fine without errors, upon reboot it just hangs there at HTC MAGIC logo.
Bringing it to the carrier now for a swap, hopefully.
the only thing that phones do is that while i'm pressing joystick + off blue led turn on.just i do't know what it is and what this can do
@evilfry
have you tried the multiple ways to boot or adb it?
yes all the ways. adb wants the phone connected with pc, pc doesnot find phone when it isn't turn on or in fastboot. the only screen that apears on the phone is htc magic logo. nothing else.

Your device is bricked bro!!. Say its obituary. Never upgrade radio as it will not talk to SPL.
I'm sorry to report that you almost certainly have bricked the phone. I flashed a hero radio by mistake and the phone went back to htc for repair. They had to replace the main board.
man i had the same issue i took out the sim card and boot the phone in fastboot mode then did the recovery and now its back........ dont know if you wanna try that

Help needed with Desire S

Had it in my pocket yesterday and it started vibrating really fast so I assume it was a call or something. Looked at it and there was loads of apps loaded up on the screen and it was just vibrating away with no incoming call.
Only way to stop it was a battery pull. Turned it back on and it went into safe mode. So turned off and on again and it took a long time to boot but did actually come on ok.
However, the screen didnt respond. So another battery pull and it just stops at the HTC logo on a white screen.
Also when it does boot the light to the left of HTC logo at the top seems lit up.
Any advice guys?

Take a look at this there some possible solutions in there
I get the device to boot after 10 mins on white screen with htc logo.
Still in safe mode. I tried adb reboot recovery but just goes to white screen with logo again.
Did you try ruu or something else inside the thread i linked?
Is your device s-off via revolutionary?
I got into recovery after waiting for a long while. But the only button to respond was the power button meaning I could only reboot.

Good that means adb is working
Try the adb commands within the thread I linked
Or try to use an ruu to restore your partition table or another solution of the following link, but it's quiet strange that your volume buttons don't work or are they just not working within recovery? If they are don't also don't work within bootloader, it looks like there is more damaged than the partitions, your choice, try a ruu or another solution of the linked thread or send your device to repair for warranty (what you also can do after you have tried the other solutions)

I have managed to get it to boot with out safe mode being active. But screen isnt responding and I cant unlock the phone. Recovery still wont let me navigate the menus.
Is there any way I can return it to stock without having to navigate recovery so I can take it in for repairs?
Any way to put it back to s-on?
Sry man, but if you don't read what i'm linking there's not much hope, all possible solutions are in there, including ruu what would exactly do what you want to and not only that it also could fix your problem.
Ruu <- click on this
download the ruu for your region
Plug your device to usb
put your phone to fastboot (inside the bootloader)
Be sure that htc drivers are installed (maybe install AND uninstall htc sync [the drivers are still present])
Execute the the ruu and follow the instructions
I am about to try this, awaiting download of RUU. Although I am not sure which to use.
Mine is sim free stock from carphonewarehouse. So I am grabbing one of the HTC Euro RUU files.
Is there any way to tell which to get?
And I have read the links. Most of it doesnt work so trying the RUU
Just managed to get the buttons working. So doing a restore to see how that goes. Then will try RUU

In common it depends on in which country or from which provider you bought it.

Hi,
Are you s-off?
What ROM?
What radio?
Etc. etc,
MOAR information,please
I used Android Revolution HD I fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you i would be grateful if you can help me! I am S-Off yes
For Revolution HD there are very critical pre-requisites before flashing ROM:
-Latest and recommended firmware package (Differs for each version pls check)
-Super wipe script
-4ext
Did you do all before flashing ROM?
I think i did not. I've just rooted and after installed this custom ROM and it worked for 3 days until today. What i want to do is to access Recovery so i can swipe everything and Install a new ROM. but every time i try to access my phone restarts
I had a problem similar not long ago. My phone would do constant restart when trying to boot up and I had a firmware file on my sd card so it wouldn't go into recovery (4ext touch). So I removed the sd card and was able to go into recovery, tho nothing showed up, I inserted my sim card back in and THANKFULLY it recognized it and I could fix my problem. Not sure if doing this will help with your problem but give it a shot.
Try to flash 4ext:

trying right now mates... let's see !!!
If not works, then try to install original RUU and startover.
To install original RUU:
- Just connect your phone to Windows (Drivers must be installed before, to do that just install HTC sync, it will also install some other stuff (drivers), uninstall JUST HTC Sync not the other stuff)
- Run RUU.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I am telling you that my phone doesn't turn on at all... i mean i can't go to menu etc..

You may guess best one to choose by your operator and country.
I have tried several ones till get the correct one since i do not remember the original one
I've just installed that my friend but same problem
Did you installed HTC Sync?
Does Windows recognized your phone succesfully before install?
Does RUU installed properly? It should reboot several times while installing.
Would you please describe problem in some more detail? When you push power button what happens? Did you see anything on screen? When you push volumedown and power together, what happens? What is on the screen?
Did you manage to fix ur problem mate.

If you flashed the radio file, you need to take that off your sd card otherwise it will just keep updating the radio or trying to and you can't get into recovery. Pull card and delete that file you placed there. Then you can boot into bootloader and get to recovery. if you have arhd rom, once you boot into the rom, go to settings., power and uncheck fastboot.

If you are trying to get an arhd rom loaded I suggest you come over to the arhd dev thread and ask. You will get a solution. Kernels are in the rom so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Start with what shows at the top of your bootloader screen. Locked unlock, radio, hboot etc. that will help.

[Q] Safe mode in HTC Sensation

Hi guys,
I am currently using ARHD 6.6.2 with custom recovery, radio, etc.. Recently I contacted HTC to ask them about the problem with wifi and mobile network auto turning on, and they ask me to check in safe mode (an option in the bootloader). Since I am not running stock kernel and using a custom recovery, I cannot find that safe mode option any more. Can any one tell me where I can find or get that safe mode option?
Safe mode?? I'm running s-off on hboot 1.18 with a revert back to a stock recovery and see no option for "safe mode" in either the bootloader menu or the recovery menu...
Maybe someone smarter than me will come along, but are you sure they said "safe mode"??

I can't help you with the safe mode as I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist if you have a custom recovery flashed.
But as for the wifi/mobile bug, it's actually quite a common bug at the moment which there doesn't seem to be a solid fix for yet.
If you have a look in the Dev section there is a thread designated to this fix. Hell, I'll even get it for you.
If that fails to work, users have reported back fixes that have worked for them, if you have a look in the Android Revolution HD thread, there has been a lot of them posted there. Just use the search.
Hope this helps.
They confuse Android with the Windows Mobile

I also didn't know such thing as safe mode exists, but because I was using the chat support from HTC, there would be no mistake about it. On two separate occasions, two HTC technicians prompted me to go into the bootloader (power + volume down) and select safe mode to see if my wifi problems still existed.

Thanks for your help. The reason I want to contact HTC is because I have searched around many threads and there is no definitive solution for this wifi problem yet. This problem exists on stock ICS ROM for the Sensation, so I guess I can report this problem to HTC so that they can fix it in their later updates (which will benefit normal users who do not even know there is such a forum called XDA).

SAFE MODE - restart the phone, after it has turned off it will boot, as soon as you see the white screen with the green htc logo, press and hold Volume down until the phone vibrates/buzzes. It will take a while so do not let go of the Volume down button.
If succesful you will have the text "Safe mode" in the lower left corner of your screen.
To exit safe mode, reboot the phone.

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.

You need to flash the boot.img included in the rom via fastboot after restoring your backup.

Thank you for trying to help. I understand what you are saying; however, my problem is that I cannot get the phone into fastboot.

When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.

Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.
I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.

does the pc recognize the phone via usb?? you could try with using CMD script to boot into bootloader... i think there is one present on windroid:

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.
Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.
Which error code?

Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again.
I flashed the stock recovery and tried to use 4 different RUUs, but no luck.

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU
And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

How did you enter the fast boot?
I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.
All button-combinations tried.
The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.
Adb do not see any connected device.
I guess I have to change the motherboard.
