Is there any real way to brick a Sensation by flashing a corrupt or incorrect firmware? For example, if it were to be corrupt/incorrect, you'd still be able to get into the fastboot through the volume+power button combo, correct? So all you'd have to do is get the correct/previous firmware on the SD card, and let fastboot take over? I'm currently on HBOOT 1.17.1111 and want to flash CM9, which would entail flashing either 3.30.401.1 or 3.30.401.101. I've obviously never flashed any firmware to this phone before, and just want to be sure that I don't brick it.

if you flash the wrong file you could brick your phone but you have just to take care of checking the md5sum and you can then flash it without problem...i don't know if you can use fastboot or hboot when the phone is bricked cause i haven't ever had bricked my phone

Okay, thanks. And as for downgrading back to GB firmware and ROMs, I just flash the firmware the same way as I flashed the upgrade and then restore a backup or flash a ROM, right? There's no chance of bricking as long as the MD5s are correct?

I haven't seen a brick or bricked my phone and I'm a flashoholic. Worst you might get would be bootloops on start up after flashing a Rom. That's caused by flashing a Rom on a different Firmware not recommended for that specific Rom. If your new at flashing there's plenty of How To' flash/ root your device in these forums. So welcome to the world of never ending addicting phone modifications .

Searched a whole lot but no solution!!
My sensation xe is stuck at splash screen with every rom or firmware I flash on it... I checked the MD5sums, corresponding firmware with rom and even the actual method of flashing.
Sensation xe is stuck. I am new to android flashing but have read almost everything about the sensation just not the solution.
Have you removed firmware pg58img.zip from SD card after updating?
Sent from my Pyramid-T
Yes, I have. I was aware of that from the first time I flashed firmware.
Are you able to boot to recovery? Did you superwipe before flashing?
Yes, superwipe. I am also able to boot to recovery.
I took all the necessary precautions as I have been bricked in the past. The thing is every rom you flash on the device gets stuck at boot screen.
hmmm...why not flash a RUU and do it all again? i mean re-do s-off,root and supercid
Is there maybe a way to create a device image or error script to see where it goes wrong because I have followed every guide to the letter here on the sensation forum.
I went trough firmware differences, flashing method, other bootloops/stucks threads. But there is no one with a solution or even the same problem.
So if you would have any Ideas I would appreciate it or do you know a developer here?

Have tried that several times in the order you suggested. It does not work for me.
RUU also gets stick on bootscreen. Have you heard about this earlier.
Did you SuperCID? If not, are you using the right firmware package for your CID, and also If you are trying to upgrade your firware for a new ROM, and it's stuck at the HTC splash screen, maybe that's because the ROM you had before isn't compatible with the firmware, so just try to flash the new ROM in this case.
Hi, firstly I apologise for being an idiot.
I rooted my XE last week and have been trying to install ROMs onto it since. I followed numerous guides (not very well apparently) and still cannot get it to work. The problem being every ROM i try to flash after it has installed, during the reboot the white htc screen comes up over and over again.
I've tried numerous ROMs, stock ROMs and nothing has worked. I tried to locate the original backup I made but it seems to be gone too
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I've blown a couple of hundred quid.
Do you know how to run a log cat and post the results as this would help people help you better. But then again there is always the option to just download the correct RUU for your Sensation, flash the stock ROM with it, and then start all over.

What / how would I start all over if I had the correct RUU and ROM (both of which I think I have). The RUU is an exe file? Is that correct and the ROM I just put on the root of my SD?
Grrrrr. I feel very stupid, usually nae bad at techy stuff!
Yes the RUU is a .exe file that will flash the stock ROM to your Sensation, notice I said stock ROM wich means you will not be rooted anymore, you will have the stock recovery again, and you will more than likely be S-on again. This is why I said you would have to start over again if you use the RUU.
The ROM does go on your SD card but if it is a stock ROM you will have to have the stock recovery to flash it, if it is a custom ROM you will have to have S-off and a custom recovery.

Then when it goes to update the ROM it comes up saying unknown error 155, wrong RUU???
It sounds like you may have the wrong RUU, who is your carrier and what is the region did your Sensation originate from. This is the information you need to get your correct RUU.

Ok if it is from the UK you probably need the "RUU_Pyramid_O2_UK_1.34.206.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M", you can find it here. Remeber you will have to have the HTC Sync drivers installed on your computer, and you will have to boot into the Hboot then the bootloader and connect your Sensation via USB to your computer before running the RUU.
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.

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.

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.

Hi Guys,
I have been having issues pretty much since I got my phone.
This has been to do with reception, it will say that it has full reception but just won't send messages, make calls or have any connectivity.
I was silly in thinking that maybe flashing a custom rom would help, I still have the issue.
I assume this is a hardware issue so I am at the point where I want to return the phone to Telstra.
I believe if it is a hardware fault I can return it no dramas, just have to flash it back to stock Rom?
Cheers for any help
Alex
Yeah I'd return it to Telstra and try your luck. But I'm not sure whether they'll replace/repair it under warranty though. I've worked at a mobile repair centre for one of the majors here in Australia, they do check whether the handset has been altered. Their excuse for not covering it under warranty will most likely be that the changes you made could have affected the handset, thus causing the issue you're having. It would have been best to send it back before rooting it, then they wouldn't really have a leg to stand on.

What's the best way to return it to stock?
Root wouldn't fix anything. Flashing a custom ROM wouldn't fix anything more than running an RUU would fix either.
If you didn't have to supercid to root you can just run the RUU. there's a few ruu threads linked in the resource compilation thread. There's a link in my signature.

This might be a dumb question, but my RUU is a zip file...

If it's a .zip it's an OTA. Those need to be flashed using stock recovery. If you don't have a stock recovery image you can extract it from that zip file, it may be buried deep. It'll be called recovery.img or recovery_signed.img I believe.
You would need to fastboot flash the recovery, then boot to that stock recovery and install the zip file like you would flash a ROM. It could take a while too.

Hmm that's interesting.
I have downloaded 2 RUU's, based on filesize (one was 600mb, one was 90mb) both appear to be "OTA"
At this point I have extracted the recovery.img from the OTA zip (in firmware) and flashed that using fastboot and done the oem lock thing too. So it now says relocked.
The point I am up to I believe is flashing the full RUU to the phone, which I believe you have to do through fastboot?
Do I need to flash this via stock recovery? I tried to get into stock recovery last night but it just came up with a red triangle with a ! in it and a phone underneath.
EDIT: ok I got into stock recovery. I don't see a way of flashing it as it doesn't appear to be able to mount my SD Card.
Is there anywhere I can get the RUU and not the OTA? I got the OTA from a thread on here with all of the RUU links. They all seemed to be .zip for Telstra Aus..
I'm going to just use the 1.89 RUU and then upgrade as neccesary.
Can't find the 3.17 .exe.
Should be able to just OTA the newer updates when I boot into the rom.

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?
