I had the same issue (I too came from the dark side). I found the gold card process worked better, even tho it was more work, plus I learned a lot about rooting my Android Phone

How did you get it to work? I tried everything but I get stock in the same step. can use rage terminal wont show up.

I tried the goldcard, with Ace, I tried manually with adb. and everything stops when I have to run the command from the virtual terminal with rage. Is there any other way of doing this?
Hey guys!! So as you might be able to tell, or can already tell, I'm a noob!! I've had my HTC Sensation 4G since September with everything in stock as I received it when I bought it. I'm completely new to Android so I don't really understand the rooting, flashing business.
But my question is about the HTC Sense. Right now, I'm on my 3rd replacement device from T-Mobile. I started having HTC Sense as it would keep freezing and restarting. I even did a factory reset and still after that I had the issue. So T-Mobile sent me a replacement, and I had same issue with that so I got a replacement for that which is what I'm using right now. And with no surprise, the HTC Sense issue started again. It's not as frequent, but it happened a few times today. So at that moment, I just turned the phone off and turned it back on after 20 minutes and since then no issues.
My question is, is there any fix to this HTC Sense issue?? I mean I'm sure it'll come back, but it's just sooooo annoying!
Root and flash android revolution man.

Hey guys, I need some help and feedback. My Sensation has been having many issues lately. I have constant random reboots with everyrom, headphone jack has some issues, dust under screen and a semi broken vibrator. Im planning on sending it to HTC and have to S-ON but i've read many threads stating that their phone has been bricked after trying this:S
It would help if all you guys that have tried it Comment and vote on this thread please. and if you bricked post if you were able to solve this or send it to HTC.
And a couple of more things. If I brick would HTC be able to find out ,and how much would they charge to fix that?
Or what would happen if i send it to HTC S-OFF with the stock ROM. Would they still be able to repair hardware related issues at no charge?
Thanks guys sorry for making this so long!
A few weeks ago I had to S-ON to send it in for warranty (the USB port broke, so it was a little tricky to S-ON). I followed most of the steps exactly (except I flashed the RUU from a .zip from the SD card and skipped some of the supercid stuff), and it worked without any problems once I managed to get usb to work long enough to send the fastboot command to S-ON. Just make sure you use the right RUU for your phone and check md5sums when you download (the first two times I tried to download it had a bad checksum).

Thanks!! and you used the guide in the sticky right? I wonder why so many people have had bricks when doing this.
Anyone else? The more feedback the better!
I use the guide in this topic (its at the bottom of the OP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
It worked for me twice, I don't know why people bricked their phones, guess they didn't follow the steps properly...
I've send my phone last thursday to HTC, the problem was soft buttons become unresonsive after charging overnight via stock cable connected to PC. Kinda really weird but it was exactly what happen. I was able to S-On and flash the asian ruu buts its kinda different from my original rom. now im crossing finger that they wont charge me for the repair hope to get by delivering it tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who has posted and voted. So i guess if i do it right i should be safe. If anyone else has done this please share!!
EDIT: Did everyone who got S-ON successfully stay with SuperCID or go back to the stock one??
Ok guys I did it and all went as planned!!! Thank you!
Good.. and woohoo im getting my phone today. HTC called me and will be delivered by 1pm SG time

This is my second One X the first one I got had a problem with the top half of the touch screen, it wouldn't respond to touch, so I swapped it out.
Now my second one has a very bad light leak on the bottom and phone calls can become muffled and even drop. I've already tried factory resetting the phone with no luck.
My question is, even though I already exchanged it once can I still go to the store and exchange it again or is it a one time thing?

I think if there are problems with the phone you can return it until you get one that doesn't have those issues. I'm pretty sure the one time return is if you bring back a phone and get a different one. They won't let you keep doing that.

okay great, thank you
now all i need to do is find a corporate store with one in stock
Phone keep randomly turning off, even with a full charge? Tried different Roms, but nothing changes? New battery doesn't do the trick? Me too, until I found a post on a Vodaphone site that said that multiple copies of HTC Sense was to blame, and that if you go into SETTINGS, then APPS, then select the ALL tab, scroll down to HTC SENSE and Disable the oldest one, then reboot, all my problems would be solved.....
And they have
Hope this helps somebody else and hope it's easier to find than the original post
Another thing that may be the culprit is that the battery is not connecting to the pins correctly. In which case a piece of paper can do the trick! Just lodge it above the battery so that it presses it firmly down onto the pins and you should see no more reboots!
Did the trick for me on several occasions
Did the pack the battery thing at first, and it did seem to work until I upgraded the battery to an Anker.....
Also, ROFL at my spelling mistake in the title. Was definately meant to say Sensation :nod:

Everything fine so far.

Only had two shutdowns in the last week and both those were after long gaming sessions in the mornings. That's quite an improvement compared to the 7 or 8 I was getting a day. Sorry it hasn't worked for you though.
Had a few more today too.
I am desperate and willing to try anything.
Maybe, I'll enable it and compare to how it was before.
I should probably get another phone (one S, one mini)
My brother has this problem as well. If you find a fix please tell me.

Randomly restarting of Sensation it's Snapdragon problem, not software. Sometime it's PowerManager IC problem, but then You should see problem with battery level. Once- it's full, and while ago -almost empty etc. Same problem is with Amaze 4G and other with same CPU.
A friend of mine just started having this issue, after upgrading ROM.

My wife's used to have constant reboots daily, stock, rooted,then soff. All rebooted. Then I tried flashing in a certain order the worked with no more reboots.
1.full wipe
2.flash firmware(only once of course)
3.boot into recovery full wipe
4.flash rom
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 4G using xda premium
I only flash ROM, as I don't need to flash firmware every time.
I like ARHD ROMs. It happens even when I do full wipe and it laso started happening to a friend, who didn't have this problem before, same ROM as me.

My post says to only flash firmware once but if u flash firmware then go back to recovery you'll notice it has an error mounting a partition and to perform full wipe. Also phone doesn't boot until wiping cache and dalvik. I'm just saayong what worked for me when I thought all was lost and tried every ROM
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
I tried wiping cache and dalvik without any benefit regarding restarts/turn-offs.
Anyway, depending on the ROM I am using, sometimes I get random restarts, sometimes turn offs.
Well I suggest trying the method I posted. I know sounds like it won't do much but I'm I'm telling u I had reboots like crazy everyday and once I flashed in that order it stopped COMPLETLY. So make a back up and try to start all over with firmware and everything.
Sent from my Dark Unicorn Resurrected v4.1 using xda premium
OK, I will try that.
Anyway, I was on stock kernel and now I just flashed SebastianFM, see how this works, better or worse.
I'm also thinking about trying another ROM.
//LE: with SebastianFM's Overclocked Kernel, I already had a few restarts :-\
