HI ALL
I have a massive problem with my htc sensation xe. My phone is a t-mobile sensation xe.This is what i have done to it i unlocked the boot loader from the htc dev website. I then rooted it using super click one. I then installed clockworkmod recovery. I then tryed to flash a leedroid rom to my phone and my phone would always restart after the htc logo.
I tryed to flash many other roms but same result, phone would either freeze or continuosly reset.
Can somebody help me please. I have attached a picture of my recovery screen as this is the only thing i have access to.
Thanks In Advance
And what happens when you choose an option from there?
try
fast reboot
factory reset
Try going back to the thread for you rom read, reread and reread agan,
Then follow the instructions 100% and as if by magic........................
I have been assisting this person on the sensation forum he was originally rooted with ship s off however he installed a Rom and apprantly his hboot has changed.
He has tried to change Rom but his phone is boot looping with the HTC logo and as you can see he his picture he is back to ship on.
I provided a list of ruu but he's phone fails while attempting to run application.
He has tried resetting phone through recovery and clearing data,cache,formatting system.
He explained he tried to root following the current 4 methods but still no sucess.
I advised him to seek help on here.

I done as you told me
1.)I went into recovery and clicked factory reset
2.)I then clicked wipe cache partition
3.)I then clicked wipe davlik cache
4.)I then clicked fix permissions
5.)I then tryed to install the shipped t-mobile rom
It did not work
6.)I also tryed to install another custom rom same problem. The phone would hang on the htc logo boot up screen.
I have included pictures to make it easier to assess the problem
I don't think flashing a Rom will get you back to s-on. From your pictures I noticed you're trying to downgrade from ICS to GB, no? If you have the ICS firmware (3.06), how come you have hboot 1.18 s-on? Either there's something missing in your explanation or you really have messed up the software. Anyway, why don't you cross referenced what you've done with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

I want my phone to work wetaher with original rom or custom rom.
This is what i done.
1.)I went onto htc.dev and unlocked my bootloader
2.)I used super click one to root my phone and gain super user access
3.)I then installed rom manger and clockwork recovery to my phone.
4.)I then used rom manger to download leedroid rom for my phone and installed it.
This is were it all went wrong. My phone would continuosly restart and not let be do anything. If i installed any other custom rom through recovery myphone would freeze at the htc screen untill i removed the battery.
Somebody please help i do not want to send it into htc and pay £60 odd pound
Have you tried to select fastboot from hboot, connect to a pc and run the ruu from there?
I have run into the same problem with Sensation 4G (TMO).
Here's what I did:
1. Tried revolutionary to gain s-off - and it failed
2. Unlocked phone with HTC (so my hboot scren says "Unlocked")
3. Flashed recovery
4. Flashed Android Revolution HD™ 6.5.1 | ICS |
Now stuck in a boot loop (with HTC logo on white background). Tried multiple RUUs, none of them worked (including the latest one from T-Mobile).
No luck resurrecting device so far.
weird. ive used revolutionary 3 different times to gain s-off and have never had it fail. i would give it another shot and be extra careful and follow the instructions to a T.
What version of leedroid are you trying to flash? Remember to have the latest firmware to flash ICS roms...
This is were you can get them...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Select the proper firmware according to your cid and mid... If you have supercid, you can get any file... 1.17 is for Gingerbread.... 3.32 is for the latest ICS roms out there...

I've tried firmware from thread you are suggesting (cid and mid matched). Hboot does recognize the zip on sd card, parses it and takes me to normal menu. Nothing else happens. I verified that my cid and mid match androidinfo.txt in zip file.
Any other clues?
I've also tried flashing "boot loop" at the bottom of the same post, but HBOOT keeps doing the same: loads zip, parses it, shows regular menu. Nothing else.
Other option is to supercid your device if you can.... Makes your device more flexible...

@paul.turchenko, the firmware will not flash as HTC.dev unlock only unlocks part of your bootloader. Radio and boot images (included in each fw package) will not flash unless you have s-off.
Have you tried to relock the bootloader then run a gingerbread ruu? Try to match the baseband, software version, carrier, area etc. as closely as you can to your original setup.

Thanks for reply. Any giudance on relocking bootloader? Which T-Mobile RUU should I try? All RUUs I've tried keep failing on me saying something like "this RUU is not compatible with your device" - error 155.
This might help you:

I have never used htc.dev, but I've read other users posts and understood there are instructions for relocking on the site too?

[SOLVED]
AWESOME!
Thanks to post above I successfully unbricked my Sensation 4G.
For those who stuck with the same problem:
Symptoms:
HBOOT:
*UNLOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
Solution: use tool from post above (can't post links) and lock bootloader back. After that your HBOOT will show
*RELOCKED*
S-ON
1.18
After this, phone will accept RUU (which failed before with *UNLOCKED* bootloader).
RUU:
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed
I will keep all files for a while so if anyone wants them - PM me.
I was trying to root my htc sensation a unlocked the bootloader but forgot to s-off now it just gets stuck on the white screen with the green htc logo. What do I do now?
Well let's start here what Rom did you flash and if its a ics Rom it won't boot because you didn't upgrade your firmware
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
You did not upgrade the radio (or firmware as people here call it)
You did not wipe before flashing a ROM.
Wrong flash.
I flashed PkMn 5.1 rom. So how do I fix my phone now? or is it gone for good.
Do extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
using the boot.img from your ROM.
If you still experience the problem, then you should format all partitions except SD Card from recovery & flash your ROM.
I almost had it I got the phone to boot and all then tried to get s-off using Juopunutbear and it got stuck on the green juopunutbear logo so I ran an RUU of a stock rom and now I am back to where I started, but I dont have recovery anymore so I dont know how to flash the stock boot.img
Now im back to the green juopunutbear logo. I dont think I have a rom anymore though cause I ran the stock RUU and it gave me an error at the black htc screen
ok roms working now how do but juopunutbear cannot find seat
Hi everyone,
About 2 days ago my phone crashed while I was using it and since then it won't boot up properly, all I see is the HTC logo followed by a black screen and back to the HTC logo, I think it's called a bootloop?
I can access the bootloader menu I think it's called (hold vol down + power button), I've tried recovery and factory reset, neither work, I went to the HTC dev website to unlock my bootloader menu and those options still do nothing
I'd like to add I've NEVER rooted my phone or added any custom firmware or anything like that, so I've no clue why my phone has done this, I've seen several similarly related threads but they've usually done something wrong while rooting their phone, nevertheless I've tried so many different things but nothing seems to work, I've tried to S-OFF using juopunutbear, I've tried flashing boot with various "boot.img", I've tried flashing recovery with "4EXTrecovery..." I've tried to flash with RUU, NOTHING works, I'm at the end of my tether and have pretty much given up, I've spent so many hours trying so many things :crying:
This is what it says on my bootloader screen...

Any input is appreciated, it'd be nice if I can get my phone fixed and it can help anyone else in my situation
Hi! So what recovery do you have at the moment? You should be able to flash 4ext recovery. When you do that, you will be able to flash a rom. Here is the thread you should follow! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Do everything exactly! as it is written there and you should be ok to go.
edit: If you would like to install a completely stock rom, you will find this thread useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 (If you want to install RUU, you must relock your bootloader! You find all the info how to do it in the thread!) Good luck! Your phone will be OK!

Hi matekaneve, thank you for your response
I've come across that thread before, it doesn't work for me unfortunately :/
Despite the 4EXT recovery image successfully writing to my phone, each time I select recovery on the menu, my phone goes into bootloop again and the recovery menu doesn't load so I can't go any further than step 3 on the thread you posted
Has anyone run into this before?
That's weird... Have you tried re-download and reinstall the 4ext? Or have you tried another recovery like CWM for instance?
What about installing the RUU? Relock your your bootloader and install the right ruu?

I relocked my bootloader menu, downloaded the correct RUU, ran the programme, it finished successfully, took around 20 minutes in total, it said my ROM has been updated and my phone was ready for use but it's STILL stuck in bootloop! This is so frustrating

It's okay, I appreciate your efforts anyway!
I give up now, I'm tired of getting my hopes up thinking it can be fixed and then having it fail again
I know I won't be getting a HTC ever again, this isn't the first time this phone has given me trouble, time to jump on the iPhone bandwagon me thinks :good:

Boot into the bootloader with POWER and VOL DOWN. If you're going to give up and get an iPhone, I won't be helping you though, since I don't like people who give up easily. What HBOOT version does it say?

AW: [Q] Another HTC Sensation XE bootloop thread, PLEASE help!! :/
Fastboot is unlock ? I think you have bootloader unlock by htc dev.
And you tried Download a custom Rom or an original ruu with s-on.
? Did you flashed an recovery ?

3 weeks ago when i had the same problem i tried to use ruu, but it fails because it cannot boot.
4ext recovery is installed now, but i can't boot to recovery anymorge, because it hangs on the HTC logo (sort of bios logo)
i hope you have some ideas that i can try.

try to reflash the recovery again
already tried, but after the command fastboot reboot the phone boots with hte htc logo and than its going into the boot loop again...
so i think that the mainboard is exploded or something, but could that be possible by using a custom rom?
thnx

Hello,
I've been searching on how to boot into recovery mode in this forum but none so far can get me into the recovery mode.
I'm using HTC Sensation XE with Android 4.0.3. I've previously updated my phone using HTC-One-X-Toolkit and CWM, including unlocking my phone through HTCDev, from which I got rooted. Subsequently there's an OTA update which I installed. And now I realized that I've lost my root. So I downloaded supersu and tried to go into recovery mode. When I select "Recover" in the bootloader, the phone shows brief android logo and then rebooted back to normal. Similarly when I select "Factory reset" in the bootloader, the phone just rebooted itself and back to normal.
There seems to be an issue with the bootloader? What can I do to reset it?
By the way, I tried to use HTC-One-X-Toolkit and CWM 5.8.0.9-pyramid.img again. It seems to be flashed well and then the phone rebooted. However, I still can't get into recovery mode.

Are you s-off? You can try flashing the latest recovery touch version via bootloader to see what happen..factory reset is about file data in your system, so no need to do that..

No, The HBOOT mentioned it is "PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and "*** UNLOCKED ***" at the top.
I'm not sure I follow what you meant by flashing through the bootloader. I can't go into "recovery" in the bootloader, even though I can see the bootloader menu. I'll try to flash the touch version through the HTC-One-X-Toolkit

Hi,
You should not be using a toolkit for another phone...
Try THIS ONE
Disregard the 4G title.It works for all Sensations(except XL)
Go for the 4EXT recovery.
This contains the "Smartflash " option,which enables you to flash ROMS without being s-off.

Hi,
I've tried to flash a new rom to my HTC Sensation and have got it spectacularly wrong. I used Hasoon2000's All-In-One tool to unlock my bootloader and root. I then did a wipe clean and installed Inspiration.
The phone had a Vodafone boot screen if that helps - I believe it is the z710e. The install of the rom seemed to go okay but I've rebooted and it's not getting stuch on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Any help would be amazing!
Thanks.
EDIT: My HBOOT is 1.27, I'm not sure if I need higher? My firmware I believe is 3.32- when I try to put higher on by putting PG59IMG.zip on my root, my phone parses it but doesn't do anything afterwards. Could this be my problem?

you are still on S-ON so you can't upgrade firmware in that way
do you have 4ext recovery installed?
if not then use 4ext to install the rom
and before installing the rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash from it
flash the rom
done
