Hello, I've been given a (bricked?) Sensation to try and revive: if you just power it on it goes straight to bootloader/fastboot screen and pressing RECOVERY takes me back to bootloader.
I tinkered with Desire, Desire HD and Flyer and got S-OFF and whatever on all of them, too bad I never got to try a Sensation before therefore I'm asking for some help: moreover I don't even know exactly what's been done to that before...
Sensation's *** LOCKED *** (not HTCdev unlocked, right?), PVT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT 1.23, eMMC-boot (is it relevant?). I just can't access it via USB as adb/fastboot devices command doesn't find that and there are no devices appearing in Windows Computer Management (it's fine with my Flyer so I know drivers are ok), can I put some zip/nbh/whatever on the SD to try and resurrect the thing?
Thanks for any help you may give!

No, you haven't. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345#post25587345
Or, flash the appropriate RUU is my suggestion.
I can't get any USB connection in bootloader, neither HBOOT USB or FASTBOOT USB.
Any chance for a sd card based procedure?
HTC Flyer p510e
No chances then? Should I write down the time of death?
HTC Flyer p510e
Unplug & replug the cable. Also, it it's in the bootloader, select fastboot.
If the device doesn't say fastboot USB, then you have no fastboot access.
I haven't. That is the main thing I'm trying to point out since post one. Is there anything else I may try before sending this to HTC support?

My phone is unrooted, has the stock recovery and won't boot (stuck on the HTC screen). When I enter in Recovery, a red triangle with an exclamation mark appears.
Is it possible to S-Off the HTC Sensation 4G without booting into the phone? At this point I'm stumped and want to s-off to install CWM and flash a firnware and rom.

Oh right, I think you need to be able to have a working OS first...
My suggestion would be to download the tmous 3.32.x RUU (uploaded either by Football or Steve0007 - search the dev thread for it) then put phone into hboot and run the RUU exe from a windows pc.
This should hopefully fix it. If you get any RUU errors post the error code here

Hello xda,
a friend of mine just gave me his HTC Sensation because it isnt running quite a while. The problem is that i haven't had a HTC device ever and I don't really know what to do and what information you need to help me so I'd be happy if u just tell me what information you need and I will try to get them for you.
The Information I got so far is:
- if I want to boot it, it stays at the HTC Logo
- CWM starts with some errors but you can't perform a wipe (just turns off)
- Bootloader starts as well but you can't perform wipe either, nor flash new CWM
- If i connect it with the computer while in fastboot it changes to "fastboot usb" but adb cannot find the device, though i installed first the drivers, lateron htc sync. Windows just calls it "myhtc"
bootloader says:
"PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT . 1.27.1100
RADIO - 11.22.3594.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

So what should I try to do or what information will you need.
I would be very happy if u can help me

Hi,
Go HERE
Install 4 EXT recovery,using one of the 3 methods available.(probably third)
Then,try to install ARHD ROM.(same guide)
No need to change the firmware.
So I just tried to flash 4 EXT Recovery but it doesn't work..
It finds the zip, ask me whether i want to start the update, i press vol up and "Update is in progres.." appears but nothing more, I'm waiting since 5 minutes and will probably have to power off the phone now.. the same happened when i tried to install cwm so theres something wrong with the bootloader?
What can I do now?

Hi,
Maybe you should run a RUU.
Look HERE
I also thought about this but as I said adb doesn't find the device.
Since I never ran a RUU, can I still flash or do I have to get adb to run with the device.
Anyway, I cannot read out the CID of the device so if it is possible, which RUU should I flash?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
Try installing these windows 7 & 8 drivers (assuming you have a windows 7 or 8 machine)
Reboot your PC and see if your phone is recognized in ADB.
You are s-off,so you do not have to match it 100%
Just get a RUU that is close to your region or carrier.
If you get the wrong one,it is not a problem.
It will just give you an error.
Then,just try another.
)
Well I just installed those drivers but same result as before..
Windows says "MyHTC" and after i write "adb devices" into the cmd window it says "daemon not running. starting it on port 5037. daemon started succesfully. List of devices attached." and the next time i write adb devices it just says "List of devices attached".
Bootloader still says Fastboot USB.
So maybe there's something wrong with my adb?
Well can i flash RUU without adb finding my device or cant I?

Hi,
Not sure what is happening with your ADB.
Look HERE for help.
In order to run a RUU ,you need to put the bootloader into fastboot,and plug in the USB.
It should show what yours is showing.
So, it should work.
After "List of devices attached" there is no device shown, I didn't leave anything adb shows, so this is still right? Usually it always shows my device ^^
So my adb is probably not running right or it is about my phone
So my next step should be adb showing my device and therefore reinstall android sdk, java, stuff until it might show the phone
or just do something with the phone?
I still think that i cannot run a ruu without any device shown? Didnt really get an answer on this question I guess or I didnt realize it

Hi,
Just run the RUU.
It will only show error if it does not work.
No big deal,and no damage done.
Just try another one.
if you enable usb debugging might help too
Well.. I just started "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed" and everything went fine until installation, no errors at all. Now the installer is stuck at "restarting bootloader" (or something equal, the installation is german) and the phone didnt do anything at all. It's now 15 minutes since the installation started so I probably will try another one but isn't it weird that ther is no error at all?
What should I do if the next RUU does exactly the same?
*edit:
just seeing page 2. How should I enable usb debugging without booting the phone?
*edit2:
second RUU: Same thing, no error but it didnt go further then "Restarting bootloader".
What to do now?
Any further Ideas what I could try?

Hi,
Try running a RUU with the same radio (11.22) that you have installed.
You will not damage the phone.
It is not always an exact science with RUU.
Sometimes it is just trial and error.
So it is often that there is no error at all?
I just thought flashing wrong RUU will cause an error and not stopping at restarting bootloader. And anyway the bootloader seems pretty broken since it is not flashing anything at all ^^
Still i gonna try it

Hi,
Probably ,the only thing that will fix your problem is a RUU.
So,keep trying different ones until it works.
I finally managed to find the phone via adb! I think that's a great step.
The biggest problem is that I lose any contact to the phone when i reboot it into bootloader.
I can just boot the phone into recovery and use any other adb function but as soon as I boot it into bootloader I can't do anything anymore.
That's why I cannot use any fastboot commands to flash a zip, neither run a RUU completely i guess.
So I think that i need any rom to either flash via recovery or just via PC not using fastboot/bootloader at all.
Are there any possibilities for me now?

Hi,
Plug your phone into the PC.
Go to device manager,and where it says MyHTC,right click and update driver.
Browse to the windows 7 & 8 drivers I gave you earlier.
Update,unplug phone ,and reboot PC.
Get a RUU that shows 3.32 or 3.33 in the title,and matches your region
Pull your battery.
Put it back in,and hold volume down and power button together.
Scroll to fastboot.
Plug in usb and run RUU from the PC
