[Q] HELP HELP How to Unbrick My Sensation

I rooted my sensation using the revolutionary method to get S=OFF and decided to put the phone back to S=ON so I could sell it and buy the new Galaxy S2 when it comes out this month.
I went through the process on the development forum to get S=ON and I used the correct RU file for TMOUS.
I made sure the CID was properly set using fastboot and it was set to TMOB010 so I could not flash to wrong RU file.
I flashed the RU file and it flashed fine and said the process completed with no errors.
I used the proper fastboot command to write the secureflag to 3 and the HBoot screen showed S=OFF and so far so good.
I rebooted the phone and the TMobile Sens ROM booted up fine to the home screen.
I shut the phone off figuring the process had been completed fine and when I turned the phone on an hour later, it booted to the HBoot screen with a "security warning" message.
Now all the phone will do is boot to the HBoot screen, I tried to re-flash the RU file like the forum stated but I keep getting a battery low error even with a fully charged battery.
Now all I have is a phone that only boots to the HBoot screen with a "security warning message"
The HBoot version is showing the following:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.17.0008
RADIO-10.11.9007.15.M
eMMC-boot
I hope I do not have a 300 dollar paper weight, any help would be appricetd please.

It's not bricked if you can turn it on... I can't help you much though... Seeing you got S-ON, maybe you could try to get S-OFF again and then start over?

I may sound like a noob, but I never used the PM function on this site. I am so frustrated I want to throw the dam thing through the wall.
I can't understand why I keep getting the battery is below 30% error every time I try and run the RU file to re-flash the ROM. I have tried two different fully charged batteries with no luck.
Thank god I have my G2x and my Nexus S as backups, at least they be rooted and un-rooted very easily, unlike this POS.

If your H-Boot now reads S=On, technically there is no evidence to suggest that you have done anything, unless they can find a problem some other way, as you have said you used the correct ROM and CID. So you could try and return the handset under warranty. Someone correct me if im wrong

I also tried copying the RU programs rom.zip file and renaming it to PG581MG.zip and putting in on the SD card and tried flashing it through the Hboot screen but it scrolls thru the file and never ask me if I want to apply the update.
The fastboot function is probably enabled in the stock ROM i flashed and I am stuck in the HBoot screen. I am totally stumped.
Anyone out there willing to try and get this thing operational. I will pay you for your trouble as long as you are trustworthy.

That's because the zip should be PG58IMG.zip and not PG581MG.zip

1.try different battery
2. Can you go into recovery? If yes try wiping from there. Also I believe in hboot there is factory reset option
3. Discharge battery and charge it up.again

I appreciate the info, I have tried everything I know and I am stuck on the HBoot screen. I am going to try a different battery and try letting the original completely discharge and re-charge it and go from there. This is last sensation I am going to buy, I have never in all my years of rooting phones had a product that is a pain in the ass like this one has been.
Shame on HTC, what is the point of having an android product if not to root it and flash a custom ROM. I paid full retail for the thing with my hard earned money so I should be able to do with it what I want too.
I came over from the Nexus S and never had this many problems and complicated procedures going back to the stock ROM.
I am back to my G2x, at least I can easily root and un-root it and it runs the CM7 just fine. Not like the HTC POS.

I finally fixed it!!!
I did have the right file name PG58IMG, but I kept getting an error when I tried to flash it through HBoot when the zip file was loading i.e. invalid image, no image found etc.
I tried the other RU file for TMOUS and extracted the rom.zip, renamed it and flashed it and it finally took and I am up and running.
I apologize for being upset but this was the longest time I ever spent trying to recover a phone, but I have learned allot from this experience and have taken some great notes and will put them in a thread when I get some free time.
Thanks to everyone out there who helped me through this.

I am having the exact same problem from doing the EXACT same thing you did. My HBOOT, radio and everything else is exactly the same as yours as well. So my question is, was the RUU that worked properly for the older T-Mobile one? RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714 <-- This one??

Hi. I have similiar problem, but I can't extract zip file from RUU. With HD2 RUU I could unpack it with WINRAR, but with Sensation RUU there is no such option.
How did you extract rom.zip file from RUU... .exe file?

I am stuck at the same place can you please tell me how to extract the zip file from ruu and what is called I would really appreciate it

Run the executable up to the initial screen and leave it open. Then open My Computer and browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp and you will see a folder with a long random looking name like {17ad63h46f09a0c883058}. Open this folder and you will see a heap of files - images for branding, scripts and the like, as well as a file called rom.zip. Open this file and in it will be radio.img, which you can extract and rename as PG58IMG.zip.
This is how I extracted the stock radio from my Telstra RUU anyway.

[Q] Can some one please anwsered my question freakin out lol

ok i just got finished rooting my sensation 4g and everything geting it s-off and i was on my way to flashing a firmware but i think i may of messed up ive searched everwhere when i start my phone it dous HTC then dous the HTC and the little words underneith it then it restarts is my phone messed or is this something stupidly simple please help freaking out and oh btw i was flashing the firm where from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683 i think the problem is i tryed to flash it in clock work mod recovery dunno if i was supose to do it there or not i tryed the how to fix radio bootloop but it didnt do anything should i try to flash to stock rom? im a noob but quick learner can some one help plz

Not to sound harsh but if you didn't read up on fixing issues should they occur then you should not have even attempted to flash anything.
It's starting to get really annoying having to constantly bail out n00bs who haven't a clue what they're doing. ALL the information is available to you so you have no excuses not to know what to do

i no im a big noob and a complete idiot ive flashed other phones but im new to the sensation any help would be appreciated

come on some one please i love this phone i just want a little help.... if its bricked tell me please some one help......

Dude, as the other guy said the information is out there and not even hard to find. But I'm in a good mood ....
Firstly, you don't flash firmware in recovery, you boot into bootloader. Secondly, once flashed you MUST delete it from your SD card. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop. Thirdly, if you are flashing custom ROMs, make sure you read the first few posts of the dev's thread and understand what firmware you need to be running. Otherwise your phone is going to go into a big fat boot loop.
Do yourself a huge favour and make sure you read, read, read before you try anything else on your phone
Also, when creating a thread to ask a question, please give it a meaningful title. I thoroughly detest "Pleeeeeease help me LOL" thread titles and don't normally even view them.

Remember firmware can not be flashed using recovery.
You have to put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader.
Read this thread . Read very carefully before doing anything.

Ok to be very specific, answer me the following questions with very clear words.
A. Can you boot into bootloader??
To boot into bootloader do the following.
1. Power off your sensation.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Wait a minute.
4. Put the battery again.
5. Press Power + Volume Down key together.
6. The phone will boot into bootloader.
B. If you can boot into bootloader, then give us the full details of the screen message. If possible upload a photo of your bootloader screen.
C. What ROM did you tried to flash ???? Is it GB or ICS ??
D. What do you mean by "but it cant find the phone cause its stuck in the loop" . Even if you are in bootloop adb will be able to detect you phone .

yes i can get into bootloader and it says this

So you have actually flashed the firmware then. Have you then removed the firmware from your SD card? You MUST remove the firmware file from the SD card. Take the SD card out of the phone and use a card reader or another phone to do this. If you don't have anything else, there is a trick I've used.
Connect up the phone and open a command prompt. Type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
If you get 'error: no device found' just hit the up arrow and enter. Keep doing this until you get no response on the command line. Then the phone will boot into recovery and you can 'toggle USB storage' from there and delete PG58IMG.zip using your computer.

yes i have deleted it then i restarted the phone and it still continuously loops the same thing over and over agian

Everything looks fine. Can you try someother ROM? Some users reported that firmware v3.24 didn't work but v3.12 worked fine. So I will suggest to try some other rom. If the problem persist then try v3.12 firmware.

Please help installing CleanROM 4.5....Stuck in Recovery....

I had my phone rooted and unlocked and was also using CleanROM 4.1 before I decided today to change to CleanROM 4.5.
So, I downloaded the file and went to Recovery and flashed it (it did take very little time with flashing which I found rather strange.) When I rebooted, the phone was stuck at the HTC screen. I figured that I MIGHT have had CWM installed and I didn't know it (I can't be quite 100% sure of this as I thought I DID have TWRP since it was a touch recovery that I had.) Since I was able to boot back up to Fastboot, I said "Let me flash the TWRP recovery file and try again".....Well, I did that and according to the Command Prompt it was successful (showed sending, writing, finished etc....) Once finished, I rebooted back and all I see now is the TeamWin logo in Recovery and THAT'S IT. It won't give me any menu options. If I let it sit, it will reboot back to the HTC screen.
What are my options right now? Is there a specific file I can flash through Fastboot that will allow me to proceed?
I would appreciate the help and I'll be sure to come back and let you know how successful I was. :fingers-crossed:
****BTW, I want to point out that my phone has had this strange message everytime it reboots (over the past few months since unlocked) stating: "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission....etc..." What does that mean? I don't like that message to appear everytime I reboot my phone. Thanks again!

reflash
Try flashing the boot.IMG from the the zipped ROM you were trying to flash to boot partition through the bootloader (cmd in windows: fastboot flash boot boot.img[enter] after you put The boot.img in the same folder as the adb & cd to that folder) and flash cwm for recovery, then you can reflash twrp

In the future I suggest factory wipe even if going from CR to CR. Also, make sure to check the MD5 once you move the file on to your storage.

I did do the factory wipe.
By the way, I tried what I was told to do and nothing happened. It successfully flashes the boot image and recovery, but when it tries to boot into the recovery, it just freezes in the recovery with the word TEAMWIN and a blue background....No menu or options.... I did try several different ways by downloading and installing several versions of the CWM and TWRP, but no success. Any other suggestions? Will I be stuck with this piece of brick now? Please help.

^That right there is normal by the way and will always be there.
Looks like it's time for you to relock your bootloader (don't worry you can unlock it again), download an RUU, and try again.

You will lose the contents of your SD card, which is why you should back that up before flashing. Since you were on CR 4.1, I would go with the 1.85 RUU. If you use 2.20, you will add an extra step or two in when it comes to flashing ROMs. But hey, your phone should work again!

I know, silly me. Usually I backup the data and everything goes well and when I don't, there goes my luck! I really appreciate the suggestion.
One quick question, if in the future I need to have the phone sent in for warranty, is this the same procedure I need to follow? Relock and flash an RUU? Will they not know it had been unlocked before?

I took my One X back to Best Buy to swap it out just before the return policy expired because my gf dropped it and put a small dent in the casing and I didn't even bother to relock or even RUU my device. I said I had a software issue and couldn't get the OTA. They turned it on and played with it and it had a custom boot animation and a ROM on it lol. They also couldn't get the OTA so they approved the return.

it doesn't say RELOCKED when you run an RUU. It gets rid of everything like Tampered and Unlocked and returns the phone to LOCKED. like it came

not true, mine said LOCKED after running the att 1.85 RUU.. I had SUPERcid though if that makes any difference.

You should probably double check that. Anybody with an AT&T One X had to have SuperCID to unlock their bootloader so that wouldn't matter. I have unlocked two AT&T One Xs and run the 1.85 RUU on both (one of them a couple times) and I have run the 2.20 RUU on one. every time it says RELOCKED.

Mine did this to when going to 4.5.
I did the following to get back into Recovery.
Use fastboot to flash the boot.img from the cleanrom 4.5 zip.
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
I then flashed the recovery (TWRP 2.2.1.4 at the moment) again to the phone.
next I erased Cache.
"fastboot erase cache"
I then used the phone itself to reboot the bootloader and went into recovery. It took about 10 minutes but recovery finally booted.
At this point I had no access to anything on the SD card. so I selected mount and mounted the sd card as disk drive to access it through my PC. I was forced to format the drive at this point and loaded a fresh copy of the ROM onto the drive for flashing.

You probably just got a wrong recovery. The recovery on twrp website didn't work for me. The one I downloaded from the development section works fine.

DId you use SuperCID? you should just try different ruu until one of them works. Did you try to get into recovery aka holding down the vol button when you power on?

i dont know what is SuperCID so i guess i didn't use it.
recovery is the only thing that i can get into right now.
i tried factory reset. didn't work.
im quite new to android so i dont know too many things.
thx for reading and replying.

Well if you didnt that means you can only use an ruu for the image you currently have or any ruu after after that. im not to familiar with rogers ruu version numbers but like i said equal or great. I would go into recovery and and go into fastboot and try the ruu then. that should do the trick and you still need to be relocked but you said you did that already so good luck!

thx, but i still dont understand how to do it.
can u plz tell me the detail?
what files do i need ? or is there a thread that can help me through the process ?
btw, there is no equal or greater ruu, i searched it , found a few thread asking the same thing but no result.

yeah it seems like you did take all steps. with changing your CID im not really sure what to do. illl be back if i find anything but right now im stuck. sorry man.

drklazarus26 said:
Yeah I was just looking around and I noticed there but only one ruu. this is a link to the ruu ROGER RUU. its an exe so basically hold the vol down button while you turn the power on. you should have a screen that says "fastboot", recovery and so on. select fastboot and connect to your computer. when it finishes installing the drivers and the phone says fastboot usb in red then run the ruu.
actually its not an exe. sorry i need to look it up myself
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah, that is not an exe file. it's a zip file that should replace the rom.zip when u do the ruu (according to the posts online).
that's what i did. the thing is that when i did the ruu thing, my phone version is greater then the one u can find online. so it's not working this way. or maybe im not doing it right.
this phone is killing me right now.
thank u.

no one seems to have a good solution to this???

i just solved it.
it's quiet simple actually.
for ppl who may have the same problem as i did , this is what u need to do :
flash recovery, then go in to recovery mode, wipe everything, except the external storage, then install a new rom
simple...
yea , first of all , unlock ur device.
thx/.

Should change the title of post from [Q] to [solved] so that people know your all set and others that may find the info useful.

[Q] phone down for a week now

ok like the title says ive been messing with this thing for a week now and im getting to the point im about to smash it with a hammer
its stuck in a boot loop and i have no backup to load apparently. it was rooted when i got it and my roomate messed it up while i was at work im not sure how or what was done but no matter what i try to do i cant get it out of this loop. im not familiar with android at all ive been reading and searching but i cant find anything helpful ive tried to ruu a few times not really knowing which files to use i finally found out that the radio needed to be the same found a matching file but still no luck i know im gonna get flamed for being so uneducated in this matter but i have indeed searched and i feel im left with no other option then to ask for assistance here
i can get to the boot loader and im just going to type down exactly what i see on it although i dont really know what any of it means

im in need of a thourough stepo by step instruction on how to fix this thing i dont care if its by means of a custom rom stock rom whatevers easiest. i know how to utilize fastboot with instruction and ive changed back and forth between cwm and twrp but no matter how many tuts i follow i always end up in a loop and im not sure why again i apologize for being such a noob but ive come to realize that this forum is the best at fixing stupid problems like mine fairly quickly
thanks in advance for your help....

Alright, is there a custom recovery installed on it? Go to recovery from bootloader menu and it it says TWRP or CWM then there is.
Edit: Also, I'm assuming you have no knowledge of adb and fastboot commands? Because you might need to learn. And did you try this ruu? It's for your firmware version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814217

Alright, so I'm assuming the problem is there is no ROM on the phone or someone did factory reset in bootloader. So if the ruu helps, great (it should). If not, then I'm sure we'll figure it out.

thats what ive been assuming as well im really hoping this works out and i do appreciate the help ive been trying to figure out for hours how to find the correct ruu that i need.
now just to be clear there isnt any kind of preperation or anything for this right? im just going to go into the bootloader and make sure the usb is connected and recognized and the open the file on my pc and let it do its thing...
i got about 20 minutes left on this download (my internet connection is poop out here) and ill let you know how it works out
thanks again :good:

Yup. Since you're on an older hboot there's no preparation needed. I'm assuming you don't really want to get into all this rooting stuff and just want a working phone? If you want help with rooting, come back here when the ruu is done, but if you like it stock, then you should be good to go :beer:

Ps take care not to flash 3.18 ruu or ota without advise. You are likely supercid and are s-on, a bad combination.
Once 2.20 is installed come back here before installing 3.18 even if the phone offers it to you.

yeah it is an at&t phone. at least it says on the top of it however im using straight talk t-mobile i believe.
will i need to root it again in order to utilize the t-mobile carrier?

No need to root for your carrier.
But you will need to root again to install other roms.
So is this phone back up and running again yet?

What ruu?
Did you relock the bootloader?

no i didnt relock the bootloader i didnt realize i needed to. i asked if i needed to prep in anyway before i ran it and i used the ruu that was recommended to me in the beggining of the thread...
if relocking the bootloader will solve my problem how do i go about doing that...
heres the name of the file
htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012

First do :
fastboot oem readcid and tell me what it says
if it's CWS__001 then do:
fastboot oem lock
And chill, your phone will work when I'm done with you.

it say
cid: 11111111

ok hopefully since it didn't say CWS__001 you didn't use the lock command.
do:
fastboot oem writecid CWS__001 (be sure to note there are two "_")
then do
fastboot oem readcid
It should now say CWS__001
please confirm

nice ok ive changed it now to CWS__001
