[Q] HTC Sensation 4G stuck. Won't boot. Bricked?

Hello,
I am having some trouble with my T-mobile Sensation 4G. I was trying to install a Rom and seemed to have failed. At this point it will not boot past the first white screen with the green HTC logo.
I can get it into fastboot and Clorkwork mod recovery. However, I am not really sure what to do.
I have tried superwipe and it fails. Bootloader screen is as follows:
-Revolutionary
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 1.27.1100
RADIO- 11.22.3504.07_M
OPENADSP-V02.6.0.2226.00.0131
EMMC-BOOT

If I need to provide more information just let me know. Any help to get it back up and running would be great. I really appreciate your time and help.
Thank you in advance.

Most likely the rom will not boot on your current firmware. What rom is installed?
Option 1 is to restore a backup since you can access recovery.
Option 2 is to put the correct firmware on your SD using a PC, reinsert and let your phone update.

I don't think any rom is installed. It never got that far.
I first tried to update using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
However the update failed. After that the phone was just going into a reboot loop when I tried to start it up. I then tried to flash a new rom in the hopes it would fix whatever problem the first failure caused. I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was able to update the firmware from the linked page on that guide:
Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU
I then tried to flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 rom. It failed and when i tried to reboot it just hangs as described above. I tried to use superwipe and it also fails. I am sure at this point it is obvious I am lost.
Option 1 is not an option as I don't have a backup.
Option 2 may be an option, but I apparently don't know what the correct firmware is.....
Thanks again for the help.
I went back into fastboot and then recovery and tried to use superwipe, but that failed.
Option 1 is a no go because I do not have a backup.

Use this firmware instead.. it's worked well for me no matter which ICS rom I've installed..
Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1412618
Don't get it confused with the one you've already tried. Then after you flash that version of the firmware, remove it from sdcard and flash a rom. It's worked for me as it should for you as well.. Hope this helped.. I'm also assuming that you've Super CID your device....
if this helped, slap the thanks button... thanks

So still on stock rom, ie Gingerbread, since 2x flashes have failed?
If so, 3.12 is the correct firmware to get it to boot.

I was not able to boot normally after installing this firmware, but it did allow me to complete the superwipe. That was failing beforehand. Once I was able to wipe the phone I was then able to install a rom. The phone is back up and running now. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate you guys taking the time.

Have you tried reset to the default factory, or just RUU with the right version it will overwrite all. [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection

Try removing the memcard so that it won't try to load up the new firmware again.

So you haven't yet flashed a rom - you have s-off, stock rom? If so you just need to flash the correct firmware for the rom.

Hi,
With an hboot of 1.18 ,you should try to S-off,and SuperCID using revolutionary.
Look Here
When you come to CWM use 5.0.2.0 HERE
When you are successfully s-off,and SuperCID,then you can Go HERE ,where you will find everything you need to upgrade to ARHD ICS...
Read everything carefully,then read it AGAIN,and you should be fine.

[Q] 1.17 S-OFF Revert to stock GB

Can anyone help me to revert my HTC Sensation with Android Revolution ROM, 1.17 boot, S-OFF, 1.0.0.2 4EXT to stock GB ROM ?
I tried to recover some old backup but unfortunately it seems that it is corrupted, md5 check didn't passed.
All partitions are formated, but recovery and 4EXT still works,
So far tried to recover old ROM from OTA_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2_release_208907.zip but with some errors appeared.
I want to go back to original GB rom or ICS just to sell my phone, got now SG S3.
What should I do, thank you for any help.

If your going to sell it just download the full ruu on your pc

Before I will sell it, I want to have possibility to download official update to ICS just to try how it works, but I would be glad if this phone would be totally free of my modifications (S-OFF and root access) just like a stock, new one.

Thats it your on the right track and you will install from Windows

First is really old,second I found on my computer described as original rom. After executing this second RUU I only have one choice to update ROM - my actual and working ROM AR HD 4.1.1 is described as 2.08.401.1, RUU is 1.35.401.1 right after process starts it get's me to update error - 155, this error is described as not right update software, but my language is Polish and I think I chose right update. First RUU gives the same error.

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)

It's a pain but you may have to try a different ruu try one with ics

Thank you both I will try it right now and would be happy to learn something.
My blind guess is that maybe I flashed some strange radio version few months ago, right now I have Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2, could this be a reason to my update errors ?

Temp root wasn't removed.

Stuck in bootloop

So I was being stupid and didn't read all the instructions while I was trying to flash a PG58IMG for ICS and I think I installed the wrong version for me. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop but I CAN access the recovery and hboot. I don't know what to do now.

Do you have a ics Rom flashed to match the ics firmware? If you still have gb this will put you into bootloop . Flash the ics firmware which is 3.32 or 3.33 then flash the ics Rom. You must remove the pg58img file after you flash Also or it will continue to try to upgrade the file over and over . I hope this helps you.

I'll try flashing 3.33 or 3.32 then flashing the ROM, thanks.

Right now it's stuck at the boot "htc" logo, It's been like this for about 4 mins, is this normal on updating the firmware?
EDIT: It has been about 15 mins now and I recided to go into hboot and the message thing at the top was changed. Now it reads:

eMMC-boot
and at the end after the "sd checking", it says "Battery voltage is too low! Please change a battery..."
Not sure if has anything to do with my problem, but its worth putting out there.

No this is not normal. Charge your device, update firmware 3.32 or 3.33, now you WILL have a bootloopv if your on a gb Rom, so update to a ics Rom. This should solve the bootloop. When updating with a pg58img file you place it on the root of your sd card, pull battery put battery back in then press power and volume at the same time then press power to accept update it will automatically update .remove the pg58img file at this point or it will continue to try to update. I really hope this helps. Sometimes it takes up to 5 or so minutes for the first boot of a Rom but after that I would say it's too long if you're still waiting. Have you done all these steps? With the correct firmware?are you wiping before your flash? It should work smoothly with these steps? Once your charged go over steps again make sure your not missing a step. Hope this helps

Nevermind, I seem to have fixed it by updating the firmware version, thanks for your help!

keep in mind one thing... you must use matching firmware/rom.. i mean for example
- Firmware 3.33 Universal / (ICS)
- Firmware 1.17 Universal / (GB)
so if you're on ICS you must be on 3.33 fw, that should do the trick
