noob in need of help sorry to break the rules =/

i am a real noob =/!!!! i have a htc sensation, s off with clock work recovery, i have recently been trying to use i.c.s. i tried super cid-ing with i thought had worked but didn't, so i downloaded a zip file to upgrade my firmware, flashed the zip but it said it failed. so i just wiped and restored my old rom. a good few hrs later my sensation decided to fart so i did a battery pull to find my phone booting into h boot with a white screen with and unpacked zip file. i unpacked and rebooted now im stuck in a boot loop can any one please help ???? want my phone back

bootanimation loop? You really did a wipe? sounds like you forget it.
Just wipe it and flash again. Just to be certain, also wipe dalvik cache.
Otherwise your backup is meaby corrupt or something, I already had some corrupt backups with clockworkmod. For your original rom, do nandroid backup with aw amon ra recovery. That is saver.

Assuming that your backup is not corrupt, follow this guide
Do you want to go back to Gingerbread?
You need to flash the proper firmware Hboot 1.17.
If you are superCID'ed: Download it HERE. (Thanks to ziggy1001 for the firmware package)
If you are not superCID'ed: Download the corresponding file according to your cid and mid HERE. (Thanks to Kohr-Ah for the User-Friendly Firmware)
Follow the same steps you've followed to upgrade the firmware, but this time with the Hboot 1.17 PG58IMG.zip file.
Flash superwipe script for sensation
Flash Gingerbread ROM
Flash recommended radio
Or you can just restore your Gingerbread NANDROID backup, if you have one, AFTER downgrading the firmware and flashing the radio.

You need the correct firmware and radio for your ROM. Alternatively, you could use that guide to try upgrading to ICS again.

yes always wipe b4 restrore or new flash just to make sure there is no conflictin files, have tried all that but it goes back into boot loop. tried flashing the rom i had first. just bootloop then when i go back to recovery there just this update. im guessing from the firm ware zip that didnt work. thanks for the help guys its doin my head in

Just to make sure, you removed the PG58IMG.zip from your SD card, right?

so if i take it of it will sort it self out???

Yes! It should. You definitely need to remove that zip.
From the same guide that I linked to before:
Remove the sd card from the phone
Hold volume-down + power to boot into bootloader.
Wait 10 seconds until the bootloader is fully loaded
Now your bootloader screen should read:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07M
Insert the sd card now
Connect your phone to the PC via USB
Navigate with the volume button and select recovery with the power button
Wait for the recovery to boot
Select -Toggle usb storage-
Phone is now connected in USB storage mode
Delete the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card in you computer
Select disconnect
Press back to return to the main screen of 4ext recovery
You are good to go, continue to the Flashing the ROM section.

Safe, thank you very much will crack on with it and let you know how it goes. Thank you again.

thank ou very much, have sorted the boot loop, have flashed with miui but its keeps restarting it self =/ why is this ????

you mean it Starts up fine, then after some given amount of time it restarts? Or during booting?

yes that is what i mean sorry. goin to flash back to my old rom.

If you can boot it, and actually use the phone for some amount of time, then it reboots randomly. Sounds like a Rom, or undervolt issue. Maybe try a Different Rom

Thanks all for your help, have flashed a new Rom and really happy with it. Gonna leave it alone so I dont break it again

Glad to hear that

[Q] HTC Evo Shift 4g help

Alright, I have looked and tried almost everything I could find to help me on this but nothing has worked yet, my problem is my screen gets stuck in the HTC boot screen and won't move any further, what I did to get it to this is I got my shift rooted though the htcdev site, but it is not s-off, I wanted to install a cyanogen mod, the 7.2 one on it, well i went to CWM and said install aborted so I tried to reboot my phone and now stuck, i can still get into the CWM recovery but nothing has helped yet,I have tried to push several boot.img files, and tried to downgrade to 2.2 and nothing...I am all up for ideas.
EDIT: I have done some tweaking with restoring my old back up and I have come to the conclusion that my /system folder is corrupt, i know a few ways to fix that but anyone one the best way and maybe a 2.3.4 system folder to use?
EDIT2: I replaced my system folder with one that i have and now it gets past the white htc screen but will loop the sprint 4g screens.
FIXED IT,\: what I did was I managed to RUU back to 2.2 through this thread, now I am on 2.2 and will continue to get an s-off root, thank you for all your help

Can you get into bootloader? If so, what is your hboot version and software version?
Just in case you don't know how, to get into bootloader, you need to power off or pull battery, then press and hold VolDown+Power until the white bootloader screen comes up
At the top it tells you the hboot version

I can get into bootloader.
hboot-0.99.0001
radio-1.08.01.0111
thats all I can get about my version

When you went through HTC-Dev.com you did not Root the Device. All you can do at the site is Unlock the Bootloader. To resolve the issue you can try a Factory Data Restore in Bootloader, but you are going to lose all the current Data on the Device. It may or may not work. If it does not then, you may have to run an RUU. To do the Factory Restore pull the Battery on the device. Then put the Battery back in. Hold Volume Button down , now at the same time press the Power Button. It will boot into Bootloader. Once it is in Bootloader use the Volume Rockers to toggle Up, or Down. Then choose Factory Restore by pressing the Pwer Button. Since your not rooted that's your only option that I know of other than an RUU. If that does get you out of the White Screen I would suggest finding out your Android version. Then following the correct process to attain Full Root.

Maybe I was a bit unclear, I went though the htcdev site to unlock the bootloader, then i moved clockworkmod recovery instead of the stock recovery, i then installed superuser through Clockworkmod, so i had root though that, but not an s-off root, so I then installed ROM manager and thought the cyanogen 7.2 rom would be a cool one to have, I forgot it was not an s-off root, so i went ahead with downloading it though Rom manager and it prompted me to install the new rom, and brought me to clockworkmod recovery and said the install was aborted, and i rebooted and then it got stuck at the htc screen, I can get into bootloader and clockworkmod recovery, I have a backup of my stock rom on my computer and put it onto my sd card hoping i can restore to that one, but i get the md5 mismatch error, working on fixing that now.

I still believe that most of the issue is that you are not Fully Rooted. What version of Android where you on when you started ? The reason I ask is because the method you used is a bit unorthodox, so I doubt your Rooted. I would still suggest doing a factory Restore. But you can look HERE on how to fix the MD5 mismatch error.

Yeah, if you only unlocked bootloader, thats not a full root, you still have a ways to go
The best thing would be to just RUU and start over using VICODAN's method, which covers 2.2 all the way up to 2.3.4
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

The method i used for rooting was though this post, I got up to the step downgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.2 till about step 17 of the 2.3.4, I wasn't sure if it acutally downgraded to 2.2 because I am unable to check my version though the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery, so I most likely am still on 2.3.4

Ok so your defiantly not on 2.2 . The question is what version of 2.3.4 are you on ? Go into HBoot and go to System Info. What is the OS Ver. ? Have you tried doing a Factory Reset just to see if it will Boot back up ?

There is no system info tab in my hboot menu, but i believe i know what is wrong, somehow my /system folder got corrupt, so i have to replace my /system folder with a new one, i know a few methods but what is the best method to going about that with an s-on?

The only way I know how to do it would be using adb and just flashing all the images through that.

Help!New to flashing one X, how do I flash this ROM and is there a stock ROM on here?

Hey Guys.. Just bought a HTC one x. It came rooted and flashed with CM10.. I dont want that, looking for the STOCK rom it came with or something close/debloated..
I found this.. But have no idea on how to flash.. If someone can be kind enough to help me out Id really apreaciate it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029432
Also, Is there a STOCK rom like just a flashable.zip on here? Please someone help. Thanks guys hope to be able to contribute alot to the ONE x down the line.

To flash that ROM, download to your phone, or copy it from your computer to the phone's SD. In TWRP do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik and cache, flash the ROM. If you are on hboot 1.14, flash the boot.img using fastboot (you have to extract it from the ROM zip using a unzip program on your computer).
For stock rooted ROMs (flashable in TWRP just like custom ROMs) look under stock rooted in my index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

Thanks for the response..
What is hboot 1.14? Is that another recovery?
Btw, how do I know what stock rooted rom is for me? I have a ATT htc one x
When i do find the stock one, do I just download to my phone, factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and flash it? Or do i need other specials instructions..?
Sorry for all the questions, I am so used to Samsung s2 flashing, so there are a few things that i need to get used to.
Like what is a bootloader?

Phone is rooted and I assume it also has bootloader.. Because when i go to reboot options previously it said reboot to bootloader..
I downloaded clean rom 5.1
Put on my SD card
went into recovery
wiped data/factoryreset
Install Clean ROM
Clean rom took me to aroma
I selected everything I wanted in Aroma
Aroma froze at 10%
I waited
Then I got inpatient and thought its frozen to I powered it down to start over
now its bootlooping
Cant get back into recovery... Just watching it flash white to HTC screen then to the colorful X...

Press and hold volume down and power button until bootloader white screen appears.
Use volume keys to navigate .Go down to recovery and click power button to select it.you should now boot into recovery.
I think you just need to be patient and wait.
If not.
Go flash the boot.img file from the cleanrom zip in fastboot

You actually need to release the power button to actually get the bootloader screen to come up. But keep holding volume down rocker until the bootloader screen appears.

Alright, i got that to work! thanks alot..
I just really need some help getting back to the stock ROM. i opened your page about the stock ROM directory but cannot figure out which one best suits me.. to give some background..

All of the ROMs and mods listed on my index thread will work for your version of phone. If you want a stock experience, AT&T stock 2.20 is probably a good enough place to start as any.
Hboot (bootloader) is the white screen that comes up after you've done the volume down/power sequence. On that screen it will tell you what hboot version you are on. What version do you have?

So i guess i have hboot 1.14, does this also mean my bootloader is unlocked and if so, how would i flash that stock ROM?
Thanks man you have been a big help thus far

Yes, bootloader is unlocked, and hboot is 1.14.
Also, please confirm that your recovery is TWRP (should have a blue screen that says "Team Win" when you boot recovery. If not, come back here and tell us.
Normally, all you would have to do to flash the stock rooted ROM is:
1) Download or move the file to the phone's internal SD memory.
2) Go into hboot, then boot TWRP recovery.
3) In TWPR (NOT in hboot) go to "Wipe" and do a factory reset. You will lose any data on the phone, except the SD. So back anything up you don't want to lose before you start any of this.
4) Wipe Dalvik and cache
5) Select "Install" in TWRP and select the ROM file.
6) Wait until its done flashing and select "reboot".
Now, since you are on hboot 1.14, you have an added complication. The hboot plugged the hole by which boot.img was flashed automatically in recovery. Since you can no longer do this, you have to extract it and flash it from your computer using a tool called fastboot. In short, the steps are:
a) Setup fastboot using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
b) With the ROM file on your computer, use a unzip program to open the ROM zip file.
b) In the base directory, you should see a file called "boot.img". Unzip this file, and move it to the folder that contains fastboot.exe (that you just setup in step (a).
c) Connect your phone via USB, go into bootloader, and select fastboot mode.
d) Flash the boot.img with the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
e) Reboot
This is probably a bit overwhelming, as having hboot 1.14 forces you to learn how to use fastboot (which is in itself, a bit intimidating). But if you want to do any other ROM flashing, you should know how to do this, as your hboot will require it for almost all ROMs.
Alternately, you can just try to flash CleanROM again. Not sure why it stalled, it should work fine. Plus, CleanROM flashes the boot.img for you, so no need to do it separately. This would at least get you on a somewhat stock, Sense based ROM to start with. And CleanROM is quite nice. Its mostly stock, just a few added features, performance enhancements, and bloat is cleaned up.

Yes I do have twrp recovery 2.3.XX
Ok I will go through those steps and ask any questions if I get stuck..
Btw how would you suggest flashing clean rom? I tried it according to OP instructions but no dice..
what are the proper wiping procedures for it?
Thanks again you are alot of help I feel better about keeping this phone
EDIT: Just flashed clean rom again to try it out..
I flashed like this
reboot to TWRP
wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache,
flash rom
go through aroma install boot.img
put all the addons i want
let it rip, then it rebooted, and started to bootloop so im now restoring a back up..
Do i need to wipe SYSTEM after i factory reset?
EDIT: Looking for the 2.20 stock rom, but the mirror is gone/download is gone.. do you know where I can find another download for it? Its not on scottsroms.com any more

Wiping SYSTEM is not needed. It just formats the portion of the memory the ROM resides, so this gets wiped when you flash the ROM, anyway.
Not sure why CleanROM is not flashing or booting. I'm on the older hboot. You may go over to the CleanROM thread, and do some reading, or ask there.

[Q] Issue with a 'soft bricked' phone? tried hboot and recovery, no avail

So this is the first time I was trying to unlock bootloader/root and then install jellybean on my htc inspire 4g
I was able to unlock the bootloader using EasyUnlockTool
Then I was able to root it using EasyAceRootTool
I tried to be oversmart and downloaded a rom of Jellybean called cm-JellyTime_42_R7.zip and tried to install through the clockworkmod app on Android and when it rebooted, it got stuck on the HTC inspire white screen with HTC logo. I knew something was wrong.
I formatted the SD Card (Fat32) full format and put a PD98IMG.zip and first tried to go through HBOOT but it was hung on Parsing....[PD98IMG.zip] for 4 hours
Then I took the battery out. and the sd card. made it go through the hboot screen, down to recovery and it rebooted to the ClockworkMod recovery tool. Where I tried the PD98IMG.zip again and it says Installating then says Installation Aborted.
before trying PD98IMG.zip I did try and download to RUU it using
RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
then RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe
but they all said this utility cannot install the rom on your phone , get the right utility, that happened right after 'sending...' portion of the RUU install.
So Now I am stuck with this and I don't how to move forward. any suggestions?

Because you are S-On, you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and fastboot flash it each time you flash a ROM. I strongly advise that you search a little more before you freak out next time; that fact has been all over the forums recently.

Android Revolution HD 7.3

Hey guys,
Having some problems with this ROM. I downloaded the ZIP, used Titanium backup to back it all up, and flashed the Rom with no problems at all...got through all the screens and whatnot, and upon launching for the first time it's stuck on the "Beats Audio" screen. Not really sure why or what happened. I'm coming from MIUI ROM and haven't had issues with flashing any other ROM before.
One thing I noticed is on the HD 7.3 first page there is a firmware update that you apparently need before you flash the ROM but all links are 404/not found.
Wondering if any of you pros can offer a hand?

In looking at my Hboot, it's old as sin....I'm using Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111 and Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I run clockwork recovery mod v5.0.2.0 as well. This could be an issue causing the problem. I've been using the MIUI ROM for probably 2 years or so because I enjoyed it but I'm ready for a change. Apparently my phone doesn't agree. lol.
You want me to connect via USB and run the cmd prompt for the getvar command and let you know what it says?

I'll go ahead and update the firmware and see where that lands me. I figured it could have been a problem from the get go but in the original thread for the HD 7.3 Rom the firmware link has been removed (likely since it was from 2011)
Thanks for the point in the right direction Rzr, and I'll let you know how it goes!

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.
Could it be that I'm just flashing the ROM incorrectly? To my knowledge I've followed instructions for both and have backed up my phone and it's contents and done everything from a factory reset/wipe to wiping the dalvik cache, etc. I didn't have this many problems rooting my phone and putting on MIUI to begin with and have flashed ROMS before with no trouble....not really sure where I'm going wrong on this one.
Anyway, I'll await your reply.
Thank you!

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.

remove the pg58img.zip from your sdcard so it won't scan and identify any pg58img.zip file
and don't restore your miui rom because probably is a gb one and now you have an ics firmware installed
just download an ics or jb rom
put it on your sdcard
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
done

With the phone being in a boot loop I can't get it detected by my computer to remove/add anything from the SD card. I do have the HD 7.3 ROM on and the Gapps that's required but it never makes it past the "beats audio" splash screen. I have no idea what's going on with it but will try any suggestions you've got up your sleeve.

Ahhhhh....I've gotten a fix for this!
I was unable to do anything because of the update zip which wanted me to update every time bootloader was initiated. By keeping my case off I removed my SD card to be able to boot in recovery and then put the SD card back in to load the HD 7.3 zip from the card. This seemed to take care of the problem.
Thanks for the help Rzr
