I am stuck for 2 days Need help PLZ - HTC Sensation

Hi guys
I have really strange problem, could you please help me out.
I am was using insert coin rom 4.4.1 and every thing was good so far,
Then i have realized that i have s- off and rooted my phone but i didn't super cid it
So i want to do that, i have supercid it by following the steps listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300.
After i reboot the phone, it stayed in the flash screen (HTC screen)
I have reinstalled the rom and even other roms, but nothing was done.
I have tried to reflash it using firmwire 3.24 but samething.
FYI: i have already supercid it i have checked it by adb and it is 11111111
There is small problem, i didn't remember my proper cid, all i know it is a europe version of sensation.
i have this written in recovery session:
REVOLUTIONARY
pyramid PUT ship s off RL
boot 1.27.1110
Radio 11.21.3504.13.2
Open ADSP V02-6-0.2226.00.0104
EMMC-boot

Please help me i am lost here, DONT TELL ME THAT I HAVE DAMAGED THE PHONE!!
Thanks

Not sure if this will help
Hey I am not sure about your problem not heard of this. Maybe you need to super cid before flashing new firmware. Maybe if you can remember what your cid was before, you can change back and see if it makes any difference. maybe once returned to the stock cid you can revert firmware and then super cid. I am not sure though! I am just taking a stab at it since no one else has answered. here is a link with some firmware and it also tells stock cid's for different carriers/countries. Also maybe try flashing different firmware.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
maybe that will refresh your memory to what yours was.
Good Luck
P.S. I think that since you still have access to recovery you will be able to resolve the issue (not hard bricked yet), just need to figure out what the problem is exactly.

Given that you still have access to your SDcard, trying flashing a new rom and firmware (go for Virtuous Inquisition).

I have already tried other roms:
Android rev-hd 3-16-13: negative result
RCMix_ICS_v311_STbase: negative result
The problem is all roms stuck in the splash screen, i have looked in some threads that some people have 30 min for the first boot, for me i kept it for 1 hour or more but it seems that it is stuck, i have checked the temp it isn't hot so may be when i have supercid it , did i make something wrong to supercid it after installing the rom??

If you wanna use ARHD 3.6.13 you need to downgrade your firmware to 3.12 or 1.17 it won't run on 3.24
I would downgrade your firmware, go to a GB rom, get it so your phone boots, then go through the process of going back to ICS.

Last time when I had major issue with my phone, I flashed couple different firmwares and different ICS and GB ROM. And somehow it worked for me. I'm just saying there's always hope. Dont give up! And good luck!

flash the latest official eu RUU, if nothing works.
You can always s-off/root then afterwards.

Where has InsertCoin Rom gone?? It appears to have disappeared!

Guys now there is something changed
When i`m trying to install another firmwire i have noticed that in hboot "revolutionary" (in purple) was changed to "locked"
What does it means??

Nothing, most do not use fastboot commands, so don't worry about it. You are still s-off and able to flash any rom you desire.

you need to STOP flashing random firmware...if you don't know what it is and what the outcome is going to be, do not flash it

I have downgraded my firmwire to 3.12 and i have used hd 3.16.13 GB rom.
The bad news is that nothing done yet, stucking in HTC splash screen.
But there is something i want to add, may be is the clue to this problem .
I have realized that when i remove my SD card from the phone and i want to read it in my PC, it appears protected each time and this is strange (virus effect).
may be my SD card was damaged and it is the only problem of stucking???
What do you think guys??

Perhaps you accidentally set some sort of sharing protection on the SD card, which doesn't let the phone access the adequate files? If so, try reformatting your card on fat32. And then copy back the firmware/rom and attempt flashing again.

i have already formatted the SD card, coping Rom and firmwire PG58IMG reflash the rom .
Still stuck in HTC S screen.
What about RUU?
Any suggestion ?

Hi guys
i have used the cmd to see my cid
i entred by bootloader menu then go to recovery menu
I have written in cmd "adb devices" then it is written

If your bootloader says LOCKED like you previously indicated then you can not use fastboot commands as kpjimmy already said. Because you never supercid your phone you probably have some partial firmware update.
If I were you I would flash an older RUU to get to a known stable config and then start over.

No i have changed the firmwire and it is written revolutionary in purple.

You have to remove the firmware from the card after flashing it. But to bypass it, does your phone boot once you flash the rom and then remove the sd card?

kpjimmy
when i updated the firmware hboot then the phone wrote push the power button to reboot, the problem is the phone will try to run the rom already installed in the phone, so i am forced to remove the battery and then remove the firmware from my PC.
in order to install the new rom.

Hi,
You are trying to flash the wrong firmware.
You need the 3.12 firmware .(just below the 3.06 firmware on the thread page)
This will give you an hboot 1.23 so that you can flash a 6.x.x ROM.
Well thats y i am confused... i had alrdy installed the 3.06 firmware (figd meant i was supercid) and had attempted to do the 3.12 (from the same thread) but its giving me the update error. I just tried it again and exact same thing happens. I believe it is an 18mb firmware file just to be sure its correct?
So far in all my searches i havent read where anyone has had this issue so thats y im confused as to y it wont work!

Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid.....download the file, double click it (don't unzip) then open the text file and add your cid/mid to the list, save and exit, then place file on your sdcard.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

[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.

[Q] Screaming for help! (bootloop on xe)

Ok, so I was trying to upgrade my sensation xe's firmware for the installation of Android revolution HD, but unfortunately... I thought it had finished updating when it turned back into bootloader, so i rebooted and it stops at the beats logo and reboots. So I read once again all the instructions and it turned out that it hadn't finished updating. What can I do to stop the bootloop? I can factory reset and erase everything on it if i need to, i just got the phone so there isn't much on it.
EDIT: It gives me an error when i boot into bootloader and it tries to update with the PG58IMG.zip: CID is incorrect.
Maybe that's because i didn't superCID? I didn't superCID because the OP here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 said "If you have Super-CID, it can be flashed even on regular Sensation (PG5813000)." So I thought that I didn't need it for the xe.
I had a similar issue when i first got my sensation. Can you get into bootloader? and if so does it try to update firmware again?
Yes I can, and yes it does, it gives me CID is incorrect. But now it doesn't bootloop, it just stays at the htc screen and doesn't move...
You obviously have the wrong firmware for your CID. Because you are not super-cid it means you have to have a firmware that is specific to your cid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
This thread explains how to get the right firmware and find your phones cid but im not sure how youd go about it if your phone wont boot.
My CID is HTC_E11 i think. It had an 11 in it anyway....

You can try flashing the User Friendly Firmware from here - Do download the right file according to your CID/Location
Alternatively, you can always revert to Hboot 2.17 from the same link.
Well if thats the case, put your sd card into your computer if you can, delete the PG58IMG.zip in there and replace it with the correct one from that thread and let the bootloader update it. But before downloading one off there make sure you get the right version which for android revolution will be 3.30
Hope you manage to get this sorted.
Cid is incorrect.... see picture attached.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
have a read of this thread, the guy on there has made a list of CID's. He also put which phones and networks have which CID.
Unfortunately my cid is not there as I bought mine from egypt, but anyway I bought the phone unlocked.
have you tried flashing hboot 1.17?
I'll try it now.
Is it factory unlocked with no branding? and was that incorrect cid message when trying to update with the firmware from the link?
I think my problem is solved!!!! Thank you guys The firmware i had was the wrong version now i'm waiting for it to boot... it's taking a long time though...
I'll wait and just hope for the best... if it doesn't work i'll try to put hboot 1.17
If it has fixed your problem, it might be benificial to super-cid. Purely because each rom usually reccomends different peoples firmwares, and lets face it, better to flash the reccomended one and be safe. Plus with supercid you havent got to worry that it will do this again if you get the wrong one
It seems to be working as it doesn't give me the CID is incorrect error but now it doesn't boot, it just stays at the htc screen....
EDIT: I guess it's the right firmware because it doesn't give me the error, but it's not working, so should i try a restore?
Is the firmware still on your SD card? if so delete it then go into recovery and flash the ROM you wanted. the reason its stuck on the HTC screen is probably because the ROM that you are coming from cant work on the current firmware.
As sparx180 said, remove the PG58IMG file from your sd card or remove your sd card temporarily while you get into bootloader, then with your phone plugged into your pc change the cid to supercid, re-add the PG58IMG file or re-insert your sd card, reboot the bootloader and let it update. I had the same thing with the cid last night on my girlfriend's phone, bloody pain in the ass!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710 using XDA App
Oh and the restore is not a good idea if you are not on the same firmware version that you made the backup on. If you cannot get it to boot then you can always flash the firmware you were on before attempting this update and restore a back up and start from scratch.
So should i flash the rom first or supercid first? I'm coming from the stock rom...

[Q] Phone wont get past android logo

All of a sudden one day I turned it on and it wouldnt go past the htc logo. It comes on, stays on the logo for a few seconds then reboots. I dont know what could have caused this but my friend had it for the day and when I got it back this started happening. I've tried turning the phone on without a simcard and memory card, fractory reseting and wiping the cache partition.
I am a newb but have gotten a reasonable amount of knowlege on android over the past 24 hours but so far none of the posts or information i've gotten on the internet has proven useful. Does anyone know of a solution or advice which may help me with booting to my os.
By the way I have an HTC sensation 4g on T-mobile
Not to sure of the version of android thou but I have a HBOOT of 1.18.

I tried flashing but i only got a little farther then kept restarted again. I turned it on the next morning and it wouldnt even turn on.
Need more details...
Stock?
Rooted?
S-on or s-off?
Custom recovery installed?
One thing is for sure, your phone isn't bricked and can be restored. The details of the device in the questions above are needed to determine exactly how to fix it though.
It sounds like your ROM got corrupted. (I can't even guess how) Ultimately you will be able to fix this by installing a new ROM. It's just a matter of figuring out what procedures you need to use based on your set up in order to do that.

It is stock, but i flashed it from gb to ics to try to resolve the problem. Rooted with htcdev, s-on. Also I installed CWM after it began to do that. I flashed a new hboot but that solved nothing, the next day it got worse and wouldn't even turn on.

you should used revolutionary.io method to S-OFF easily your device with that hboot version
that means that you have GB firmware and an ICS rom can't run in that fw version
while your are S-ON you should have installed 4ext recovery,enable smartflash from it and then flash a GB rom
after that you said you flashed a new hboot
i am not sure if you can do that as your are S-ON
and the result is not even turning on!
it seems to me that your device is bricked
use the unbricking project from dev section
edit:can you still enter to bootloader?

I cannot use revolutionary because i get the phone to go past the htc logo. I could only get into the bootloader. I upgraded from 1.18 to 1.27 so s-on didnt matter. I tried to unbrick but it said no device found.

from fastboot connect your device into the pc
go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window there and do
fastboot getvar version-main
i assume you have 3.32.or3.33 firmware but do it
if yes then from this thread do step 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after that enable smartflash from recovery and flash an ics rom

[Q] Sensation 4G in boot loop (unrooted, s-on, locked, stock phone)

I think I'm using the right terminology here, but forgive me if I'm not, I'm completely new to this.
A couple nights ago my Sensation 4G shut off mid-use and I haven't been able to get it back on. When I turn it on all I get is the HTC splash screen, and then it shuts off and turns itself back on again and continues to do this until I take the battery out.
I spent last night looking for solutions online but everyone I found with this problem had gotten it from trying to root their phone or flash a rom (again, terminology?) but I've never done this. My phone is exactly the way it was when I bought it, I've never done anything to it.
I can get into bootloader but if I go to recovery I get the boot loop again. If I go to factory reset I get the boot loop again. This morning I tried to turn it on again, got a boot loop, took the battery out to stop it and when I put the battery back in it just started up again with the boot loop without me even turning it on.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I'm so confused.

Hi,
If you have never done anything to your phone ,then,take it back to the shop,and tell them.
I was really hoping there was something I could do to fix it myself as I've had the phone since November 2011 and I'm almost certain they will make me pay for a replacement/upgrade. But if it's my only option..

Hi,
Sorry, I did not realize you were out of warranty.
There are 2 possible things you could try.
The easiest is to get another battery.
The second ,if that does not work,is to run a RUU.

My apologies I should've mentioned that I was out of warranty in my original post.
Yesterday I tried a new battery in it but still no luck. I also tried my battery in another HTC and it worked fine, so that's definitely not the problem.
I've been trying to follow the guide to run a RUU but my cid is BM___001 and the only RUU available for that are 1.3.5 and 1.4.5 and I have 3.32
Is there any way around this?

Hi,
Use the 3.32 ruu,and add your cid to it(4.2 in the guide)
Do not worry when you run a ruu.
If it does not work,it will just give you an error.
It will not damage your phone.
Keep trying different ruu's and changing the cid if necessary.
zip file corrupted

Hi, I'm from the exact same region with the exact same problem. I downloaded RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_TMOUS_3.32.531.14_Radio_11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2_release_256085_signed
and I tried to add my BM___001 cid in android-info.txt but when I try to save the .txt file I get the message "Archive is corrupted".
Can't I just extract the archive and compress it after?
Plus I'm wondering if I only have to add the cid, the cid and the modelid or the whole thing with the mainversion hbootpreupdate, etc.?

Hi,
Use Winrar.
Double the PG58IMG.zip you made in 4.1 of the guide.
Double click the android-info.txt
Add your cid etc.
Make sure the cid is 8 characters( bm + 3 underscores + 001 )
Then, just close it.
Do not at any point extract it...

Hi,
Try to copy the android-info.txt to your desktop.
Edit it.
Then,use the delete button in the winrar taskbar to delete the android-info.txt.
Then,use the "ADD" button to add the new android-info.txt.
Then ,you just close it and use the PG58IMG.zip as normal.

Hi
when I arrive at the step where I have to delete the file in Winrar, I'm getting the same error (The file is corrupted). I've modified some others archives that way without any trouble but it seems like the rom.zip from the RUU is protected in some way that whenever I touch the android-info.txt the message "The file is corrupted" pop up. I've tried it with 7-zip to be sure that winrar wasn't the problem and I tried it with 2 differents RUU. I've order a battery to be sure it's not the problem but i'm starting to run out of option

As you didnt modded your phone you are most probably SON that means you can't install any ruu.. Modifying the android- info.txt won't do any good as the signature checking will fail.. Thats why you are getting those errors.
. You need to find a 3.32 ruu with your cid otherwise you are out of luck..
One More thing you can try is unlocking the device using HTC-DEV and then try flashing a custom ROM. But the success rate for this probably would be less

Unfortunately 3.32 ruu are non existing in my region BM 3.32.666 since the update was only OTA. I tried unlocking with HTC-DEV and installing custom rom through 4ext recovery but the 2 roms I tried did the same: They seems to be working correctly for a few seconds then it's restarting in bootloop again, I can pass trough the initial setup fast by bashing ok to keep everything default and having seconds of normal use of the phone before it's gone in bootloop again... At least it's better than the initial bootloop on HTC white screen but still unusable. My last hope seems to be the new battery I've ordered!

Yes it's the tutorial I've followed. I've enabled smartflash just before wiping everything except sd card and flashing the rom. I would love to S-OFF with Juopunutbear (HBOOT 1.27.000) but it would need to have the phone on USB debugging wich is not possible because it's bootlooping.

Nope still stuck. I did the permanent smartflash by installing the 4ext updater in one loop then checking S-On in setting to perma smartflash. Then I wiped the miui rom and flash it again. still bootlooping after about 30-60 sec of activity. Then I tried the extra 1 step on the guide through fastboot (fasboot boot boot.img). Still not working so I did what the guide told in case of problem not solved i.e. reflashing the rom without wiping but i'm still stuck with the same problem. Do you think a new battery i've ordered could solve the problem?

Yes mostly the battery might be having a loose contact.. Have you tried putting a piece of card board to keep the battery pins tight?
