ICS won't boot - HTC Sensation

Alright, so I installed ICS (Several roms, etc) as well as their respective firmware (3.24). I need a new motherboard flex cable, which means I don't have a working power button (which is, of course out of stock) so I installed the firmware via fastboot flash (extracted the files, one at a time, etc) but when I go to start up the ICS, for example HyperNonSense, it goes into a continuous reboot cycle from the home screen. The ONLY file I didn't get to flash via flashboot was pg2fs_spcustom out of the firmware package, course I had to change the name of the hboot nb0 package.
is there anything I can do to get ICS on my phone? Or am I outta luck till I can find a ribbon cable so I can properly install the firmware, etc.?

i didn't get it man...you got a non-working power button right? but it isn't required to apply a new fw...right? to apply the fw you only have to put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sdcard and then reboot in bootloader via adb

You know, my phone used to recognize PG58IMG.zip files before and wouldn't be a problem, but I'm not really sure when it stopped doing that. Now if I adb reboot bootloader, I get to the bootloader and that's it. It doesn't bother to look for PG58IMG what would cause that, you think?

Really? How could it be possible? Your phone doesn't recognize PG58IMG. Zip anymore?

You have to be in the hboot screen to flash the PG58IMG file... Not in the fastboot mode... But if you reboot bootloader it will take you to fastboot mode and then you can't press power button to go into hboot screen... That's the problem I guess
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk

LOL, that's kinda what I was thinking but I simply overlooked it more or less. I'll put a PG58IMG on the SD, boot into the bootloader and nothing. I thought I was supposed to boot into the bootloader, and then press the bootloader button? I know I can't select the fastboot option at the top.
I used to be able to update via PG58ING and the bootloader, but it was so long ago, and I thought I needed the power button to do that.
EDIT: saw your second post, and yeah that's it I'm assuming lol.
If only I could find a flex cable, but every where I've looked at it sold out.

Try adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot + hold vol down button that should take you in the right place! Oh don't forget to put the PG58IMG in the sdcard before

Damn, so far it's just rebooting when I do fastboot reboot. Holding the volume down key before, during, after typing that it, all of them still just simply reboot, but thanks for the idea lol. Congrats on the 1,000th post

So even if you hold vol down when the phone is rebooting it doesn't take you to hboot screen? That's strange
When the phone is off and is going to get up you have to hold vol down

I thought you had to hold power + vol down as a constant, though? I just turned off buttonremapper and still the same results even with the stock button layout. I suppose I'll have better luck finding a flex cable lol. but seriously though thanks for trying to help a brother out

[Q] Sensation won't boot :( Please help..Anyone???

Hi all,
I recently bought a used sensation from ebay and now it won't boot. I allready read a couple posts in this forum. Did the adb reboot and adb reboot bootloader and didn't work. So I think it's not rooted. What exactley happens is, the will not boot. It stays blank and the led lights too, but when plug it into my laptop\pc, it gets reconized and able to install the adb drivers to it. The led lights are then lit and pressing the power button kills it for a second and then restarts. Getting the same connection to my pc but no boot. I then installed adb tools trying to reboot the bootloader, but when i type in adb devices, I get nothing listed. So when i tried adb reboot i get error: no device found
Just moments ago i installed a new jdk and currently installing android sdk to make a proper connection with the device.
Any advice?? Pff
I think it phone has been completely wiped so there is no any OA Rom installed. Try booting in to recovery then see if its rooted then install any custom Rom. The most safest way is install RUU from ur PC which restore it to original.

Ok so from what I understand is that even without being in bootloader or recovery. Just by being connected, I can install stock ruu to my phone and then everything else? I'm downloading one of the ruu now
Ok from what i read, I cannot get into the bootloader or recovery cause it's maybe hard bricked. Is there a fix for this?

Ok sorry for the late reply. Due to my "lovely" bandwidth, I finally found the stock rom for my device, version tmous 1.45.531.1. I ran the setup and everything went fine, until i got an error error 1105 or something that it's not compatible with my device. How can that be if it'.s not from another vendor. It says t mobile on top lol. Does this mean that i'm screwed?
Still haven't got it to boot. Only led is lit when plugged in charger or pc. The screen stays blank and unplugged it does nothing. Only if there was a way to get it in fastboot or just to see life in my device
Hold volume down plus power button. You will be in fastbboot .
first press and hold the vol - button then just press the power button without holding it, but keep holding the vol -
wait 10 seconds
release the vol - button
press power button again
now you should be in fastboot
on your computer in command prompt type fastboot devices and see if your computer recognizes the phone

Volume button fault - Any other ways to go to bootloader?

Hello all,
my sensation's volume rocker is faulty. By pressing volume down and power on, it will not boot into boot loader thus cannot enter recovery.
I know i can use software to boot into it boot loader but what if I am getting bootloops and unable to boot into rom?
Any ADB commands to make the phone boot into bootloader straight?
I am planning to flash the factory RUU and go claim my warranty after i get my Galaxy nexus..

Possibly not unless your timing is amazing!
Are you stuck in bootloops now or is this hypothetical?
Please, tell if your volumne rocker is so broken that it cant even turn up/turn down volumne during normal use of phone?
If it's ok, thet I suggest method of booting into recovery which I use (and i had problems to boot before - thought it's vol. rocker):
1. press volume down button and hold it!
2. press power button for 2-3 seconds and then release, still holding the volumne down
3. phone boots into recovery after few seconds.
Hope it might help you.

I understood that he can't enter recovery due to some volume button fault. When you stuck in bootloop only thing you can do is pull out the battery, no keys/buttons are usable - tested myself :/

not really hypothetical.. in fact i experienced it earlier..
my volume up/down seems to have a mind of his own and at times i will enter "safe mode"
thereafter it will auto reboot unless i am quick enough to do a factory wipe under settings... it will still boot into safe mode but wont auto reboot.
so after knocking a few times on the volume rocker, i am able to boot into normal mode but the volume rocker isnt working. Pressing it once, will cause to decrease the volume and switch to silent mode.

If you have CWM recovery installed (im not sure about other recoverys), you can connect your phone to your computer when it's off and you will have access to a limited adb provided by CWM. You can then use the command "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader" or whatever to do what you need to do.
Wipe all then cant boot into bootloader
Hi, i'm really sorry to bring back this post,
your fear had become my nightmare in reality.
The volume button was somehow (either physically spoil or is not capture click)
during booting process.
I have completely forgotten about it, and do complete wipe
(select wipe all except sdcard in touch recovery).
So, now the phone is completely clean (without rom)
and i'm unable to trigger bootloader/recovery via pwr/vol down button.
I have try take out battery,leave it for 10min and try press
all those button without casing/rocker;
press & hold vol down, den plug in battery;
and press both vol up & down then only pwr button.
The phone now (i assume) boot normally,
stop at HTC logo because there is no rom inside
(just like normal pc boot pass bios but cant find OS).
ironically, i live at singapore too... haha...
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------
I read somewhere that the person use pin to press the button really hard
and it manage to go into bootloader
(but I cant find back that post now)
Searching in forum recommend me to peel off the
volume button cover n use pin to press on it directly
(which I do not dare )
So now I sent it to repair shop,
hopefully that person using either g-box or gmbox
(flash box start with G) and can push RUU inside.
God bless me.
p/s : Sorry I should post in Q&A...
Get the phone off. Pull the battery and re-insert. Open fastboot
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
And if you want to flash a ruu directly:
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
And then flash the ruu

[Q] Bootloader Froze. Fastboot not working. Please help!

Hi,
My Nexus S was working great and suddenly the power button stopped working, now when I try to flash anything via fastboot it freezes at the bootloader screen, the volume keys don't work just there.
I wanted to flash stock ICS bootloader, radio and ROM but I guess there's no way to flash without fastboot? adb works though.
Thanks for your help!

Is your power button failing by any chance? If the power button fails and stay in a clicked position, you will not be able to scroll.
No, the power button, physically, is perfect, just as it was before. it just doesn't 'function' anymore.

So it works or it doesn't work? That's what I mean by failing, when it stops working, you will not be able to scroll in fastboot mode because it's stuck as clicked in. In fastboot you cannot send 2 keystrokes at the same time, so as long as the power button is stuck you're out of luck.
Sometimes playing with the power button will make it unstuck, sometimes it will not. It's a very common problem with the Nexus S. Some people had decent luck opening up their Nexus and cleaning the power button while others sent their phone to repair.
No, it does not function. BUT, what I'm thinking is, if i the power button was CLICKED then the first option is "Restart Bootloader" and it would have been auto-selected resulting in a reboot-loop, but I do see the bootloader screen and it doesn't disappear until I remove the battery and restart.

That's not how it works though. It's constantly clicked, not as clicking only once the bootloader appears. I know it's strange, but it's really a well known issue.
If you remove the battery and put it back in, does your phone start automatically? That's also a sign the power button is stuck.
No, If I remove the battery and reinsert, it does NOT autostart unless its also connected to the PC via USB.

Alright. Does not necessarily mean the button isn't stuck though.
Do you have a custom recovery? If you use Clockworkmod or TWRP, you can flash nearly anything from there, rom, radio and so on as long as they're zipped in a way one of these recovery will understand.
If you are still able to boot your rom and it's rooted, but you don't have a custom recovery, you can flash one from within Android.
Oh, I thought you could only flash bootloader, radio and ROM via fastboot, atleast thats how I did so far. I download factory images and they come as .img files, is there anywhere I can find a flashable stock ICS .zip?
Yes, I can boot into the stock JB rom, and yes I can even access clockwork recovery.

You were doing it the good way though, fastboot is a very strong utility.
Here's one flashable with CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569509&highlight=rom
ONLY for GSM Nexus S. Not for 4G. This is really important.
One more way I was able to confirm that the phone indeed freezes on bootloader is that adb commands are accepted on the home screen or on CWM (./adb reboot bootloader for example), but neither adb nor fastboot works on the bootloader (error: device not found).
I opened the phone to clean the power button as you suggested, but its already quite clean, there's nothing to do there. However, I broke my sim tray in the process! :'(
Now, no power button and no network!

Cant enter recovery, stuck on HTC logo

Power button on my HTC One S stopped working to I decided to fix it. I discharged the phone completely and opened the phone. I got to the switch and it fall apart from the motherboard so I soldered it in place. I dont know what could cause this, but now The phone doesnt want to boot. Its stuck on HTC logo with red warnings. Phone was running great on TrickDroid 9.1.0 before the discharge/opening. However Im able to enter bootloader. I can use fastboot usb ( I triend to flash different boot.img and recovery but it doesnt help. fastboot show flask OKAY but still, phone doesnt want to boot. When I choose recovery from hboot It will reboot into htc logo without warning, the status bar in the corner will pass 2 times and after 30sec it will just reboot into warning logo.
I have HBOOT 1.09.
Does anyone know what happend?
Discharging the phone is bad.This is a common issue, especially if youre using CWM.
If you are using CWM - change to TWRP.

[Q] Stuck with bootloop no bootloader access :/

Hello, just to start I have read through probably 100 post regarding similar issues but none are working. I have the ATT Htc one x EVITA 3.18 version. I did the super CID unlocked my bootloader through htc dev, flashed twrp recovery, and got a custom rom, gapps etc.. in twrp I wiped all data,system,cache, factory reset. Then flashed my rom and gapps (being kinda new to HTC devices I didn't flash the boot.img from the rom) now my phone after restarting just continues a bootloop (HTC Quietly Brilliant) screen, then powers off repeating this over and over.. I tried holding the volume down with the power button it just loops again, the I tried some other suggestions like holding power and vol down until the flashes stop and releasing power while continuing to hold volume down, again loops, then tried using volume up as well...none of these are working I don't understand what happened and why I can't get into any of these? I did not run any RUU. I tried using adb but of course i cant get into fastboot or anything so the phone is not recognized. If anyone could please help I really do appreciate it. I know this has been all over the threads but I read for the past 3 hours and could not get anything to work.. Thanks in advanced for any help it is much appreciated. :crying:
First of all, don't hold volume up and power, that's bad news. Trying random button combinations is a really bad idea. While it's looping just hold volume and the next time it starts again it should reach the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply timmaaa... I usually would not try the other button presses just someone else had said that worked for them, but thanks for the advice. I did try what you said and just holding the volume down button, let it bootloop, and keep holding and it just continues to bootloop :/ it stay off for about 20 seconds the same then bootloops, with the htc screen for about 5 seconds the rinse and repeats D**n this thing is annoying. Any other Ideas? Thanks again man appreciate it.

are you sure you did get the SUPER CID cause if its not then you can RUU your device!
cause if you are not SUPERCID get a matching RUU or a latest version meant for your device!
only if you could somehow manage your phone to get recognized by a PC etc then you could flash boot.img with some toolkit etc and everything would have been fine!
but unless some expert actually figures out your problem dont RUU!
i really wonder whats obstructing the boot loader access!??
please let me know if u can get your device back to normal!

I had to change the CID to unlock the bootloader on htc dev, its like 11111 so that is super CID right?
Yea I've tried everything to get to adb since I am familiar with adb but its a no go none of the tool kits or even manual cmd is recognizing the device.. I had a one x just like this before and never had the problem getting into bootloader so I don't really get what is blocking it. Only thing I had done was flash twrp recovery, wiped data/factory reset, system and cache, then flashed the rom as one usually would and gapps, just I had forgot about these phones needing you to flash the boot.img. that is all I did to it. Kinda sucks I just got this thing yesterday from a friend too.
Yes, 11111111 is SuperCID. In any case I probably wouldn't attempt an RUU while the phone is this unstable, could be quite dangerous. It's possible the "adb reboot bootloader" command might work if you catch it at the right time in the boot cycle.

Thanks bud, well I can't get it to catch even using super finger speed cmd'ing lol.. oh well.. I'm not gonna try anything else other than the usual ways to get into bootloader until someone else has some idea what might be blocking it from entering. Is there anyway to turn it off? its just restarting over and over with the bootloop. Or does one just let it go dead? I suppose worse case senario sending it for Jtag would fix it right? thanks again to the both of you.
I believe in the command window your can press the down key to give the previous command again, so if you hit down and enter one after the other (spamming it) you might have a chance. I'm really surprised that continually holding volume down during the loop process isn't getting you to bootloader, that's very strange. There's no way to turn it off. But, it usually burns through a fair bit of battery during a boot loop so you could wait for it to die completely, charge it for a couple of hours, and then try the volume down + power combination to get to the bootloader. I hope it works, let us know how you go.

Yes well on my laptop its the up key that's what I was doing was spamming, you can hear the connected device sound on then off, but it just doesn't see it. I will let you all know once its working again and what I did or had to do to get it back so that it may possibly help others that run into the same issue. If not I suppose I'll try to get it Jtagged, too nice of a phone to use as a paperweight really
Yeah sorry, I knew it was one of the arrow keys, kinda took a stab in the dark at that one :sly:

Hold down the power button until the phone turns off. You'll see the buttons flash. This simulates a battery pull. Then wait a few secs then hold vol down and press power button for 2 secs while still holding vol down. Wait for bootloader

You should hold volume down while holding power. Holding power alone just initiates a reboot, not a power down, so if you're not holding volume down at the same time when the reboot kicks in it'll just reboot as normal.

Nothing is working guys :/ full Battery drain and everything it just keeps looping no matter what I do it will not go in bootloader :crying: thanks for trying to help
If you are trying while the phone is plugged into power it will not work.
The method I use is to hold power until the screen shuts off then I let go of power and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.

Yes I don't have power plugged in, I've never had a problem like this. . I also don't even have to turn off the screen everytime it loops it goes off for a good 20 seconds or more. But I did try what you all said too and it seems there is not even an effect at all it just loops
YAY!! I was messing around and held volume up and volume down with power, and it put the phone into some kind of off/sleep mode, then it recognized the device in windows device manager and said device cannot start, so I tried uninstalling the driver and then refreshed to let it reinstall them and during the reinstall i tried running the adb command and it let me back into bootloader! woo! that was lucky.. hopefully this can be helpful to others that get stuck like that. I'm worried now though i have bootloader sitting pretty what should I do first? I'm scared to loop again thanks all.
