[Q] how can You completely reflash a Sensation XE?

I have run a irreversible boot error in which the device keeps getting stuck in the bootscreen. Now, let us assume I have tried everything according to dedicated [guide] threads. Nothing works it stays in bootscreen.
Which is the best mos stable way to reflash a custom firmware, then a recovery and then a rom.

That is the guide that I have followed as the last resort. The device does not get past boot screen in my case the Beats logo screen.
I really need to try and tottaly reflash the device. It needs to be from the grounds up because I can't find the problem an am wanting to fix it.

Hi,
If you want to go back and start again,you can find HBoot 1.17 HERE
Then just flash a GB ROM.

Hi,
Was your hboot 1.17 successful?
Did you super wipe before installing the ROM?

[Q] Cant flash Coindroid rom or any rom !!

Hi All, hopefully i am in the right place.
I have been trying to flash a CoinDroid_V1.5.2 on my Htc Sensation (not a 4g) which is locked to Telstra (Australian telco)
My specs as follows:
Android version: 2.3.4 (ginberbread)
sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.45.841.5
Hboot-S-off: 1.17 (phone is rooted)
cid: 11111111 (i changed the cid using information ive founded on this website)
midG5811000
4EXT Recovery tool installed as well
radio: 10.14.9035.01_m[, tried to flash to radio 11 but the phone kept restaring itself after 5 minutes, so i downgraded it, working fine now.
I have download a file called Android revolution hd super wipe, also the PG58IMG image file, everything that you might think off, but still does not work
I have tried to install the coindroid from the 4EXT utility program, selected coindroid 1.5.2 and started to flash, everything fine so far, but when it finishes i restart the phone and does not load up the rom, it keeps rebooting itself everytime, i have also tried using a different rom called Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE and the screen gets stuck on the beats audio, does not go further than that.
Phone is rooted, s-off working, clockwordmod, 4EXT utility loads up as well...
I dont know what i am doing wrong here, can someone help me out here?
I have also tried doing this method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Which basically unlocks your phone, tried it and the phone was unlocked but all my apps and configuration was gone, so went back to the s-off to restore(which did not load the 4ext) and tried to restore my stock rom from s-off, hoping that i can still use it with the phone unlocked. Did not worked at all. It was a miracle that after trying to install the coindroid and failed again, the 4ext when back alive again and i was able to restore the stock rom which works.
Can someone tell me please, what i have done wrong?? i have followed all the necessary steps and yet cant flash any rom
Thanks to all for helping the new newbie

Hi,
Regarding CoinDroid, most links are broken.
Re-download and verify md5 sum.
Alternatively try OrDroid.
Same developer and as I see almost the same rom.
And update hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656867

You didn't follow all necessary steps. You gotta flash 3.3x.xxx.x firmware for ics. Your 1.45.xxx.x firmware you have now is for gb. That's why it wont boot.

This could be also my problem, however my phone boots fine.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to verify the firmware version. Could you please advise?

Settings/about phone/software information/software number. Ics roms will have 3.xx.xxx.xx software number and gb will have 1.xx.xxx.xx. 3rd post down in sensation general forum will have all the info about firmware that you need. You gotta flash firmware that matches the rom you want. You just download it and flash it before you flash the rom.

For me that's OrDroid 6.0.0...

thank you

My mid is: PG5811000
Telco company called : Telstra
my cidnum i dont know which it is, can you give a hand mate?
Also, if a flashed the firmware to ics, can i still be using the normal stock or i have to flash it as well?

According to your first post your cid is 11111111 (supercid). You should be able to use any one of the 3.32 firmware. Your rom has to match the firmware.

yes, it's 11111111

Yes, i downloaded an app called CID GETTER, before i flashed, it said that my cid was TELST001, but now shows 11111111.
My stock rom wont work if i flashed the new Firmware, because it gingerbread and not Ice cream sandwich? Is that correct? Sorry for repeating myself, i just want to get it right.
Regarding the CoinDroid_V1.5.2 or the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE, they all shall work once i flashed the new firmware because booth are ICS, right?
Thanks mate, i am actually downloading this Firware: cidnum: TELST001
from the website you gave me.
What you reckon?
Ps: Should i update the radio too? or the new rom will update it for me?? This is getting annoying!
Ps1: Once i download the file(firmware) should i flash it trough clockwork recovery or EXT4 ? I am not sure about that.
Thanks for all the helpers out there.

Flashing Firmware Updates both the bootloader/hboot and radio too.. So you need not worry about radio and all
After you flash this firmware tou can't run your current gb rom. As it's not compatible.. And only ics rom runs.. So after flashing the firmware flash the coindroid/ordroid rom and then you are good to go
Now regarding firmware flashing.. It will be PG58IMG file.. so the method of flashing will be different.. Please for instructions/steps on how to flash the firmware please check in the thread from where you downloaded. The steps are given there

Thank you so much, it's all clear now.
I have to flash the firmware (anyone in my case due that my sensation is supercid) Using S-off
Flash then the superwipe for the sensation
Flash the Rom that you like
And that's my problem come, i dont know which rom to start with
I have narrowed my search to this 3:
Coindroid v 1.5.2 ( I read that it's quite a good one)
Ordroid v 5.02 (I have not seen any videos on youtube with the looks of it)
Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE (A good choice as well)
From this 3 roms, which is the latest one? And which one is the one that will work out of the box without you trying to fix either the wifi or something like that
Thanks to all for their responses.

Coindroid and ordroid are same.. I mean coindroid became ordroid.. So ordroid is like an update to coindroid.. And basically these are sense 4 ported rom's.. So they are bound to have some issues.. I heard hot spot and Bluetooth are not working properly.. In OP of the thread the bugs are mentioned... So if you want to try sense 4 go for that
The other one ARHD is pretty stable... This comes under your out of box scenario also INSERT COIN comes under this case...
I'm using IC now and I'm pretty happy with it
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves

So you're running clockwork mod recovery while using the 4ext recovery utility? Before updating use the.utility to flash 4ext recovery, if you flash ordroid there is already the option to superwipe built in when flashing. Be sure to flash 4ext

Please Help!

Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?

Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

I've got S-OFF and flashed boot.img with adb.
Will 4EXT allow me to mount the sd card?

Yes it should
Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.

It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

hboot etc.

Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?

Hi,
It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.
I wonder if you can still s-off using revolutionary.
You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.
Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.

This is driving me nuts, tried 2 ruu's, both failed, if it was my phone it would be out the window!

[Q] bootloop htc sensation XE, need Help!

I have HTC Sensation XE and a few days ago, i was just tried to install a Custom Rom by CM10. I found a video on Youtube that there only three steps to do that (Flashing a Custom Rom with S-ON)!
1. Unlock Bootloader (and I've done!)
2. Install Recovery (CWM Recovery Touch)
3. Flash the Custom ROM
And I tried that all...
Everything looks fine, from the moment i install the Recovery and then the Custom Rom, but its stuck on the HTC Logo. Power Off, and then Stuck on HTC Logo again, and again... It never stopped! And the backdoor just getting HOT!
I tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and all the things i used to be doing when i flash a Rom. But the problem still exist.
Then I flash the Stock Rom with this Recovery (Since I forgot to make a back up system), and its fine, although the wifi isn't working!
Then i searching somewhere and found that the Recovery is 4EXT, and the I flashed the 4EXT Recovery and its succeed.
Then I tried to Flash the Custom ROM again, but I found the same problem, another bootloop.
I tried everything i could find in here, but it's nothing...
It's about 2 days and i can't do anything with my Sensation XE.
All i know about my HTC Status is, S-ON, Unlocked and the HBOOT 1.29.0000
is there any easy to understand way to make My Sensation XE Back?
Please Help...
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
In 4 EXT ,did you enable "Smartflash" just before flashing the ROM ?
For more information ,look HERE

Then
Don't know if this works with Hboot 1.29, but you could try to relock Hboot and flash the appropriate RUU for your device. Then you can start again.:good:
Edit: I just made a quick post on how I solved a similar problem here.
Good luck.

At least your phone is working again. :highfive:
But of course you can flash custom ROMs.
If you want to stay S-ON, you will have to unlock the hboot again and then I suggest using this guide.
Or you could read every sticky in this forum before doing anything else and then follow one of the S-OFF guides like this one, which is what I'm going to do. :good:
Happy hacking.

Definitely going S-OFF.

[Q] From ICS to JB

Hi, I have a HTC ONE XL for AT&T with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. I have the nocturnal ROM based on ICS. Also HBOOT 1.01.0000.
I want to install a rom based on JB (This particular CleanROM 6.5 - ★ | Jellybean 4.1.1! |).
My question is with this hboot, can i flash a jb rom from ICS? Because I'm not sure if flash from recovery the zip of this rom bricked me.

It won't brick you. I'm not sure if you'll experience issues using such an old firmware with a ROM based on the latest softwate

Thanks. Is there any way to update the software?

Yes install the Ruu, then push twrp, then install CR. This will give you the latest firmware. CR by itself does not so it, and some gave experienced random reboots with older wifi firmware. Just be aware that a small subset of HOXL phones do not work well with Maps/nav under JB

thanks for reply! I did brick my phone when i try to install an official ruu 2 months ago, but i did fix this ($$$$). The problem is that I can not install because I have CID 111111 and CR root, bootloader unlocked etc

With s-off you won't brick running an ruu. Though my phone will no longer ruu properly but that's another story. I may post a thread about it in case others experience it so they know how to recover.

Something went wrong while RUUing and my hboot partition cannot be written over without clearing the cache first. So the RUU will get to the end and then fail. Everything flashed except the hboot. It's kind of funny because it looks like a brick when it happens but it remains in RUU mode so I can just fastboot flash the hboot seperately after and everything works but RUUs will no longer complete successfully Always half bricks.
How did it happen? Well I think it's because I was RUUing in a VM as I was running linux exclusively at the time. But during RUU the phone looses connection and I have to manually reconnect to my phone and I didn't realize so it interrupted the RUU. I'm just lucky I didn't end up with a full brick! ^_^

flashing hboot with fastboot won't give you JB......
Is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?
SuperCID? Yes or no?
Bootloader locked or unlocked?
