[Q] Please, PLEASE help! HTC Sensation can only boot into recovery. - HTC Sensation

Okay so my sisters sensation would freeze up every time she got calls from certain people so I told her to let me root it. Since this is something I have done many times before I didn't think I would have any problems, but I do.
I can only boot into bootloader and then recovery. I can flash ROMs, restore, and do anything else you do in recovery, except afterwords when I choose reboot the phone just turns off and nothing happens and I can't boot into recovery for several minutes (during these minutes the phone has to be charging). I've been up for literally 5 hours, 1-6 am, trying to figure this out. Someone PLEASE help me. Seriously WILLING TO PAY for an answer that works.
Thank you.

Boot into the bootloader and then flash the RUU back to stock. If that works then perhaps try again

Hi i had similar after flashing new firmware, I hadnt renamed deleted the f/w package. this may not be your particular problem, but it is normally an oversight like this.
file name of PG58IMG.zip, if this is on root of ya sd, i do beleive it will always boot into recovery. worth a check?

I doubt that's the problem. If he forgot to remove PG58IMG.zip, then every time he boots into bootloader, it would just try to update, not prevent him from booting up the phone.
Have you tried SuperWiping first, then flashing the FW, then the ROM? I don't think this would make a difference but since you've tried FW -> SW -> ROM, can't hurt to mix it up.
EDIT: Just thought of this: did you flash a FW for your region? If not, you might need to super CID.

See my problem with super CID is the guide that I see for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 requires me to be able to actually use my phone and I screwed that up lol. I tried that fastboot method too and it didn't work. I fear I've really messed this up.

there is no RUU on my sd to flash... I don't think there is anyway..... maybe that's my problem?

Should be able to find your phones RUU in the development part of the forums.
Also most of the major Western carriers have the firmware posted on this forum. Did you download the correct one?

Download an RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 to your pc making sure it is the appropriate one for your device (give me more details if you are unsure), boot your phone into fastboot (volume down and power), plug the usb cable into your phone and pc. Your device should now say fastboot usb then double click the RUU.exe that you have downloaded to your pc. This will restore your device to stock.

So problem is the rom refuses to boot, but recovery, bootloader does?
Check whatever fw you flashed is compatible with the rom you are trying to boot. If not change one.
If this does not help then use Eddy's suggestion and run correct ruu. Make sure your CID supports the one you use, or forget this if you have superCID.

Do what is said here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 (the superCID part) and skip steps 5,6 and 7 just boot into bootloader manually. Then, flash the firmware you need, you won't have to worry about the CID. Get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Having almost the exact same problem after flashing the firmware..
Def. Gonna try this.

No ROM, No Recovery, No backup.

I posted in the Q&A of the general One X forum and they told me to post my problem here.
I tried flashing CM10 mod on my One X and because I am a noob I omitted to do a backup of my phone when I wiped everything. I then proceeded as usual, flashed the boot.img then opened the zip to install CM10, then flashed boot.img again but it didnt work.
I don't know how but after that I successfully messed up my phone. I have no ROM, Lost TWRP, have no backup and the only thing I can use is Fastboot and Bootloader.
My phone lo longer appears on my computer so I cannot move files onto it.
I relocked my phone and flashed all the RUU's that I could find. Used the ARUwizard to try the PJ83IMG to no avail.
Every answer I found on the internet did not work so far and I'm getting desperate. Nothing seems to work. Is there a solution?
PS: Is it just me or is the rogers HTC One X harder and more complicated to mod than other versions of the phone? If I were to buy a new phone which one should I buy?
PPS: Buying a new phone is my last option. I do not want to resort to that. I will if I have to.
This is why 1 click unlocks are so bad for the community. People mindlessly unlock their phones and screw it up.
As for your situation, if you run a RUU successfully but your phone still won't boot then you're probably SOL. Go ask Niceppl and see if he can help you.
And no, Rogers is the easiest to mod. HTCDev supports Rogers HOX bootloader unlock. After that, the rest is the same.

Everytime I try an RUU it says I have the wrong RUU for the device... I tried all of them that I could download. Do I need to do anything else before flashing the RUU maybe?
You didn't SuperCID which is essential for ATT RUU. Right now you basically have a phone with Rogers ID trying to install ATT RUU so it fails.
If you can't get 1.73 rogers RUU working then I have no clue what you can do.
Can you unlock the phone still from fastboot?
If you can have tried to reflash twrp from fastboot?
If it works you may be able to mount the sd card from twrp and move rom to your sd card and flash it.
Just throwing out some ideas since nothing you have tried has worked so far.

I cannot mount my virtual sd card to my computer.

Should I format it or will that indefinitely kill my phone.

Hmm. That sounds like it got corrupted, which may be why your phone cant access anything. Your comp should only be able see the partition that acts like the external sd, so formatting it SHOULD be ok, but get a few more opinions on that before you do it. If so then you can copy a rom on and flash it in twrp.
Could it be -?
I've been trying and trying.
I've been told by someone that maybe I could plug in an SD card reader into my phone. It wasn't recognized.
Could it be my firmware update?
My phone in RUU or ARUwizard or "getvar version-main" says my phone rom version is 1.94.631.3
The rogers RUU out there is 1.73.631.1
Could that be why I cannot install anything on this brick?

I believe that is the new Rogers OTA. I believe it may have the hboot update which is not rootable. If you have already relocked your boot loader and have the updated hboot, you may have a bookend I am afraid.
All you can do is unlock your bootloader again, push twrp recovery via fastboot, then mount the SD from recovery and copy a rooted custom ROM to your SD and flash it.
Hopefully someone will chime in and tell me I am wrong for your sake....

If only my VSD worked... I gave you a thanks anyways. I'll wait for something to come up I guess. I'm kinda fed up with trying and nothing working over and over again.
If you have fastboot why not go through htcdev bootloader unlock? Every in here has suggested it.
Once unlocked flash new recovery and install a rom?
Ps force reboot the phone also by holding the power button for 10seconds.
Thank you for your imput. But my problem lies in the fact I cannot access my phone storage to install a custom rom nor can I flash a working RUU.

Update on the situation
So I just tried TWO different methods and both did not work .
1.) I tried pushing a custom rom (Nocturna) to my SD card.
I cannot access ADB unless I am in TWRP, and pushing a file that big to my SD just crashes my phone. My SD also still cannot mount, I still cannot partition it, I still cannot do anything regarding my sd.
So I tried pushing the zip to other folders on my phone and I got a Process error like before on cmd promt as well as a crash TWRP.
So then I tried a second method.
2.) Downgrading software.
Since my firmware version was 1.94.xxx.x I tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
Everything went fine. Bootloader shows 1.11.0000 even though I wrote 1.00.000.0 and in the RUUs it shows 1.00.000.0.
But now that my phone is relocked, suprise! NONE of the RUUs work. I thought this would certainly fix the problem but aparently not.
Any suggestions?

Yes if there was a 1.94 ruu it might work but I don't think I've seen one but I could be wrong.
On another note am I understanding you correctly you were able to mount your sd via twrp if so I'm surprised it crashed It's how I always move rom zips over to my phone.

I recently had this issue cause i was messing around and I hit wipe in TWRP by accented. So it wipped everything on my phone to include the Hboot so no version showed up when i tried to flash the RUU.

How to apply OTA update on Rooted At&t One X

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.
Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.
I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261
The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.

[Q] HTC one S brick

Hello,
I'm new here but today I tried to root my phone and put CM10 on it. Rooting was not that hard but with flashing the rom I had some problems. I used a tutorial from youtube "Htc One s jellybean 4.2.2 Nightly Cm10.1 Rom" and did everything as he said but when I tried to boot CM it came in a boot loop so I restored my backup and everything was back normal again. But I thought i'll give it another try so I did that and it still didn't work so I restored (via recovery) and at the end it said: It appears your phone isn't rooted do you wanna do it now...(or something like that)? I found that a bit strange but I clicked yes but now if I boot up my phone first you just see "HTC - quietly brilliant" and then the red letters come beneath it saying its a developers version. I Couldn't do anything so I jumped into my bootloader and did factory reset but now everything is gone and I still have that booting problem,
I can acces bootloader and recovery mode but that's it
I really need my phone soon and don't have much time to look on the internet for solutions so could you please help me?
Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the RUU for your phone? Maybe that would be the quick fix to take it back to stock. You can use an RUU that's equal or newer than what you have currently.
BTW: I went through this as well.

Do you remember doing any of the following?
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe dalvik cache
I think that was my problem that I didn't wipe the cache completely. Possibly a bad download too. Do a search on md5. It's basically a check to see if your download is ok before flashing.
As far the RUU is concerned, it will take you back to stock. You will need the info that appears when you start the phone up by holding down VOL DOWN and POWER. Hold down volume down, then press the power for a second or 2. Then it will boot up into HBOOT.
Write down the info that appears and search for a matching RUU equal or newer.
What is the carrier???

For RUU you need stock recovery and "locked" BL. Please read the guide again and only proceed, if you're sure you got it.
Another question:
You said you got a working recovery? Which version do you use? And have you tried install another custom rom.zip? That would be more easy and safe to you. May be your storage got corrupted and thats why your phone crashed and you can't install the rom.zip stored on the sd-card. You could connect the phone to your pc as mass storage via recovery, format it and put a new customrom.zip on it. By the way, why you installed such an old rom? You can use CM11 for sure

In that guide it doesn't say anything about a relocked bootloader.
I do have a working recovery but how can I get a zip file on it? I can't acces the files of my phone in windows explorer or something like that. Also I don't know if I have a stock recovery but if I don't I have to install that via a zip but how can I get that on my phone...?

PLS boot in recovery mode and tell me what "version" it is You should find it. If you're not sure about it, you can flash a new recovery before installing a rom. Whe you have a working custom recovery you can mount your sd-card to your computer via recovery.
Found the RUU guide i had in mind http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2501542

The problem is, we're talking about an HTC One S which DOESN"T have a SD Card slot...

[Q] Help: stucked TAMPERED LOCKED S-ON

Hi guys, a few day ago my One SV had some problems, rebooting itself and runs very slowly; so i tryed to do something like root it, but not knowing what i'm doing 'cause i don't have much time.
Probably installing a wrong rom, now I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags.
The phone stuck with htc logo, i only manage to go into bootloader, pdanet gives me sync error, twrp recovery doesn't work anymore.
Is there something I can do now?

As long as your device is Locked, you can't flash a custom recovery.
So unlock your device at htcdev.com, flash Twrp recovery and flash back a working rom.
Use a Android 4.1.2 rom, otherwise you will have problems with noisy sound.

How do you mount the sd?
At least pull it out of your device and put it into your PC and copy needed files in this way.
One thing i could not solve earlier (because of bad internet connection): did you already install the Android 4.2.2 update or what was your software running on your device before? Thats important to give you the right rom for your firmware!
I'll give you the links anyway:
4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
4.2.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
Rumrunner & moonshine are confirmed working for your hboot, but which you should use at least also depends on your previous software.

Im sorry That error is from the twrp recovery when i try to install superuser.. It says unable to mount int sd.. I think internal memory
Ignore it. Only use the files, recommended in my index thread (use SuperSu, not Superuser), link in my signature.
And answer the other question.

Ok, so you can use the second link for the stock rom. And rumrunner for S-off.

I installed the 4.2.2 versions, seems completed but phone remains with black screen showing only the top bar with the clock, then reboot itself; sometimes after reboot it shows the bottom clock and lock, you can also unlock it, but then it reboots;
One time it shows me the backgroud.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem, what do you think?
Thanks

Have you flashed the boot.img with fastboot? Did you wipe everything before?
May give the 4.1.2 rom a try.

Stop. Did you only wipe data/cache/dalvik.
No system?
You need to wipe all, except internal & external sd!

Also system yes. And if i wiped the internal sd?
anyway after installing the rom, from twrp internal storage is 0 MB
Then i'm running out of ideas
As the roms worked for other people, i also start thinking thats something bugged with your device.
You checked md5sum of the roms? Using latest TWRP recovery?

Yes, used the latest TWRP recovery.
the recovery say to me no md5 file, is this the problem?
How can I check the md5 now?
I don't know the name of the tool (i'm at work), but you will find it with google search, i think.
In recovery this is not a problem, its only to check on your pc, if the downloaded file is the same as the upload.

System won't mount in twrp, trying to flash rom

Trying to keep this short but i seem to have messed up. I was trying to get back to stock with this phone so i've been trying to use the RUU to flash back to stock. I keep getting the 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR when i try the RUU sd card method but i read on here that you may need S off to make it work. I was in the process of flashing a custom rom (Bad Boyz rom) just so i can be rooted so that sunshine would work but system won't mount. Looking for options before i mess more stuff up

If you flash a RUU that matches your cid/mid you don't need s-off. At least when you upgrade your OS Version and not downgrade.
A "fastboot getvar all" will help us to provide you a correct RUU version, if there is one.
About the system not mouning:
you most likely checked in twrp to mount system as readonly.
TWRP-MOUNT: Uncheck "Mount system read only"
I have the correct version but i keep getting the above error.
Also i did uncheck read only for mount system. I think i may have messed up something when i relocked the bootloader with custom rom and recovery then unlocked it again. I must have messed up something then. The ruu seems the only option. I'm trying to flash the same one i have installed which is the 1.28.617.6 on the spread sheet for the us phone but keep getting the error. You said i need s off to downgrade but not to upgrade. So do i have to wait for newer software?
Seems more like it you have a bad download. Did you check the md5 of your download?
Yep, bad download.
Also, why do people re-lock the bootloader? I don't see any gain from doing this.

agree, unlocked bootloader breaks safety net. So if you decide to return back to stock/non rooted you would need to relock to be able to pass Safety Net again.
That would be the only reason for me.

Sorry been away. Yes i checked it, downloaded it more than once to be sure and checked it in cmd. Now to be sure on the HTC U11 google doc spreedsheet, the RUU (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377) is the recovery option at the bottom right? Thats what i been downloading, at this point i could be messing something up
