Very Weird Issue with my Sensation is there a self test service mode? - HTC Sensation

Im currently in the middle of uploading a video to youtube to try and show the issue but its like my phone is possessed, i actually bought the phone from a recycle place so I have a 60 days warranty with the phone but I was wondering is there a diagnostic or service mode I can get into on the handset to see if any faults are found
One thing is I thought I was getting an Orange handset which I would have thought would have had some branding on but it didnt and it also didnt have any orange bloatware on but not sure if they do or not on Orange UK handsets? even though i've supercid would it matter if it wasnt an Orange one that I used the orange firmware for 3.32?
It seemed fine when it arrived yesterday on 2.3.4 GB rom but since changing to ICS nothing but bother

Had this problem with Darkforest 6.0.0 and also ARHD 6.5.1 and currently virtuous s4x b3 which has been the worst of the lot and the one in the video

Ok so I flashed back 1.17 firmware and restored a back up of my GB 2.3.4 rom and its working perfectly so my guess is my phone for some reason doesnt like firmware 3.32? which means im going to be pretty much stuck on GB?

Hey, it looks like a sense 4 rom that is running in the video? All those roms are ported from another device.. I'd recommend to try stock ICS with the new firmware, see if that works any better than the ported roms

Ive tried 2 3.6 roms too and they did the same, used the newest firmware

In your first post you were looking for a diagnostic mode?

Sorry yeah i am and thanks, just not sure which tests i should be looking at, anyway im now on virtuous_inquisition v4.0.0 but using firmware 3.24 its had one little hissy fit which seems to have gone away when i restarted, also when it starts acting usual screen of and on seems to sort it, its just odd it works perfectly in GB which makes me think its software and not hardware issues?
Just to confirm im doing everything right, was it ok to jump from firmware 1.17 on GB straight to 3.32 for ICS with 3.6?
Method im doing
flash firmware in hboot, pull battery delete the PG58IMG file, put battery back in boot into recovery, full wipe in ext4, then run the superwipe script and then install rom, everything seems to go ok until I begin having the issues as shown above in the video clip, I know that was a sense 4 rom but its done the same in 3 sense 3.6 roms now

Did you tried to flash a stock kernel? Not OC'ed? My bet if every ROM does the same, that there is an issue with the hardware.

Hi
I havent as yet, however when I first had problems on darkforest I did try with the 1.2ghz option during flash.
Any recommendations on which to try? So far it seems on on v inquisition v4

Seems to have been ok then this morning I put the phone on charge as it was about 20% remaining, left it charging went back 30mins later or so to check it and it wouldnt wake, not sure if this is a common issue or if its related to the previous problems ive been having?
Ive requested a return from the place I bought it so will see, ill have to make sure I can get it back to how it was, fortunately I have a backup, but ill have to read up on the s-on procedure aswell as getting rid of 4ext

gawd this is doing my nut in, just flashed Android Revolution 6.5.1 using the stock 1.2ghz kernal doing the same so I just have no idea now, going to put firmware 1.7 back on and do a nandroid recovery and see how that goes for the next few days, just wondering if anywhere in the rooting + S-off, unlocking or supercid somethings gone wrong that I didnt see, but afaik it all went fine

format sd card, place only the files you will need.. i.e. firmware and your choice of rom.. reboot phone, flash this firmware "Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618.. after you flash the firmware, remove the sdcard while the phone is still on, reboot into recovery. Once in recovery, put the sdcard back in, then flash whatever rom you wish to use, just make sure that it supports the firmware, after flashing the rom, remove the sdcard again and reboot phone.. once the phone is booted, turn on usb drive and remove the firmware that's on the sdcard and see how things go.. if things are still messed up, then go for an exchange as at that point, it may be hardware related...
I don't think it has anything to do with superCID or s-off as I can see that you're able to flash any rom to the device.. same with s-off...

Thanks, ill give it ago! the only bit is where yousay after flashing firmware remove sdcard whilst on, then reboot into recovery. The only option I get is to reboot no option to reboot into recovery?
anyway
flashed insertcoin 5.1.4 so will see

in order to boot into recovery after flashing the firmware, power off the phone, yank the battery and sdcard, then put the battery back in and power on with the usual power down + power button with the sdcard still out. once in recovery, you will notice that recovery counts down until the sdcard is back in so slip the sdcard back in, give it a sec, then choose the zip file you're going to flash.. flash the rom, remove sdcard and boot into rom.. slip the sdcard back in one final time.. once booted, go into the sdcard and remove the firmware so that it doesn't keep wanting to update everytime you reboot...reboot once more to make sure all is setup and see how it goes.. I'm sure there are easier ways of doing this, but this is one method I've tried and all worked fine... hope this helped..

Still the same, flashed back to 1.17 and did nandroid recovery and it works perfectly in GB oh well, the closest Ive had it working on ics was with Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.0. The problem im going to have returning the handset is that it works perfectly as it was sold to me and if I start going on about installing ics roms etc they are likely to refuse a return.

yay!!! think ive cracked it, well not me but at least I think what ive found what the problem was
Spotted this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
Thought what the hell, and long story short its worked, not a single issue like before, which leaves me to believe that for whatever reason 4ext recovery wasnt working correctly when flashing firmwares on my phone as when I used it to restore my original backup it worked fine. Installed the rom above that was packaged as a PG58IMG.zip file and it worked great, might try and reinstall clockworkmod and see if that helps as I never actually used it
Fingers crossed its now sorted but so far so good, not a single issue after installing all my apps again

[Q] HTC Sensation 2.3.4

Hi,
I have my Sensation 2.3.3 S-Off, Super-CID, all that stuff, although it is on stock firmware.
Just wondering, does anyone know from experience or otherwise, will the new 2.3.4 update cause any problems? Bricking caused by update or anything?
I'd rather not S-On manually as I'd have to reflash firmware and I don't want to lose all my personal data, apps, etc.
I don't really care if it goes S-on, as long as it still works!!
Thanks!
P.s. I debranded from Vodafone to Stock Europe, can the CID be rewritten?
--Removed--
Seriously,
U'v come this far and have not flash'd some InsertCoin 2.2.2 Sense
into your Sensation yet? (2.3.4 with OC safely op to 1.5 GHz)
Check this tread and discover what you'v been missing out on.
Get titanium to backup your apps, spend some quality time with your phone and you'll never regret it!
It was the first thing i did after S-off and rooting.
Flashing the radio could be a little "exciting" but whent without a hitch for me. (and most of us)
You'll never go back.... promise!
Jesus, just realized i sound like an infomercial,....

I have to agree, InsertCoin 2.2.2 Sense rom just rocks. If you want to go to Android 2.3.4, just flash this or one of the other custom roms out there that have been updated already using the EU stock rom.
Flashing InsertCoin now! Seems to be going well.
So much easier than expected!
Thanks for the sales pitch, worked a treat!
On the white HTC boot screen for nearly 20 minutes...
Doesn't seem to be looping, just not doing anything???
ok,... that kinda sucks.....
Did u get it going already?
What guide (if any) did u follow?
At what point did this happen?
Can you adb to it?
It's all good now, wiped data with CWM and reflashed and It's working!
Love the speed... Just need to update the radio and flash the overclock kernel.
When updating the radio CWM keeps saying "wrong zip file" though. Any ideas on what could be going on there?
Also, how do you flash to 2.2.2 and the overclock kernel? Just copy to SD and use CWM?
Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Glad to hear it worked out.
And now to top it all up with a recent radio file and some oc madness
Doing the following is on your own risk! I din't force you to do it,
think before act and don't blame me when [email protected]#g it up.
To flash the radio you should,
Download this radio file,
Make sure the filename is PG58IMG.zip exactly or it will not work.
copy it to the root of your sd card.
Download a md5 checker from te market and check the file, The md5 should match up with this one.
md5: 64a0383b87b4b780cf516f7d7e43b784
If not, redownload & try again.
this is very imporant!!
If you flash a corrupted file you will own a very expensive brick!
Now:
Turn your phone off, take out the battery.....wait a few seconds and put it back in.
power up your phone while holding down the vol- button.
The bootloader will scan for the radio update.
Once it finds the update, select Yes.
Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and boot
The radio file is now flashed.
Remove de PG58IMG.zip file from your SD card BEFORE rebooting your phone or it'll try to flash it again when powering up after draining your battery.
To flash the 2.2.2. ROM
put it on your sd card
recovery - wipe all (data/factory reset)
select the file in cwm en confirm.
Also, Never install a theme on an unbooted fresh install, leads to f/cs.
Kernel can be done in cwm aswell by selecting the file and flashing it.
The tool to oc it is included.
Thats it. Good luck, and let me know.
Wow!
Thanks for the noob-friendly tutorial!!
Will try it later tonight and let you know how it goes.
Just with the radio update, fastboot keeps saying "wrong zip file" or something like that... Md5 was correct but still nothing... Bit will try again
Do I definitely need to wipe everything to flash 2.2.2? I have titanium set up and everything backed up anyway, but just wondering. Losing my data for a third time will make me cry a little!
Again, thank you!!
Sorry, also, in CWM do I just "install zip from sd card" to flash the kernel and 2.2.2 ROM, yeah?
Your welcome
I know it sucks, you don't have to wipe BUT, it can (not saying it will) lead to strange issues like force closes etc.
It's up to you.
About the radio file,
Im pretty sure you have the radio file in the wrong location.
It should be placed in the root of your sd card, not the root of your divice.
So like this /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip
NOT in /PG58IMG.zip

Hey, got the radio working perfectly. Trying to copy the 2.2.2 Rom now and it just wont copy onto the SD through copy and paste or adb push. I have no idea what's wrong with it...

Are you sure there is enough free space on your SD-card?
If so, try downloading it directly on your phone.
Got everything working! Have insertcoin 2.2.1 with UnityV7 working perfectly (2.2.2 is unstable on my phone... SU, gmail and facebook all force close)
Absolutely delighted with the results! Wont be looking back
Turns out the problem was a bad SD card (which is making me cry since it's a kingston 16GB class 10)
Anyway, thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it!
Nice! Glad it worked out, and sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear 2.2.2 is not stable for you tho.
Baad (the InsertCoin ROM cook) mentioned a few days ago that work is being done on a new kernel especially written for his ROM so maybe that's worth a shot in a couple off days....
Anyways,....glad i could help, happy camping!

[q] bricked? Arhd bootloop

Hey guys, I been away from the sensation for a few months now and I think I bricked it on my first flash back! I was flashing ARHD & I followed the noob guide, I downloaded firmware & updated, deleted the firmware file, performed super wipe, flashed the rom, and I checked my md5 sums. Now I'm bootlooping the white HTC splash screen, and sometimes I see the beats audio symbol but right back to the slash screen! Ahhh.... I use this line for work. I used the 3.30 firmware as it said to & I'm on boot 1.27? I know one of you guys can help, so please ANYONE,I've got a get this fixed tonight.....
well if its booting then fortunately you're not bricked lol
have you tried re flashing the new firmware?
I flashed the 3.30 that the installation guide I was following told me to. I have ext 2.2, so is that an issue or is it the correct recovery.
Anyone who can walk me through this I'd really appreciate it guys. Just like most, I rely on my phone for work. I'm a little worried here, I've flashed quite a few times and I've never had an issue like this that I couldn't restore out of.....
Try this??
what I did was everything you did.. except I used this firmware update...
Firmware from 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 RUU
--- MD5 checksum: 824295C6ACDC8D55BED9E0B913192DBE *PG58IMG.zip ---
--- Only for 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 based ROMs
Then I installed the ICS Energy rom, and everything works great.. I've also flashed a few other roms without issues.. I haven't tried the arhd yet.. I'm currently running the virtuous AOSP rom.. and still, everything works great.. I hope this helps
Just a side note.. have you tried formatting the sdcard then trying that setup? I did have issues with my sdcard in the beginning, but after formatting, I've had no issues..Also make sure the ROM you're using is made for the correct firmware, otherwise you'll have bootloops! hope this helped!
That's the same firmware I used, and I've ran the firmware upgrade twice now. Now right after I updated the firmware the first time I did it, I rebooted on accident & it wouldn't boot even before I flashed arhd.... is this normal?
It wouldn't boot into hboot? What I did was put all the needed files on my sdcard, flashed the firmware, removed the sdcard(while the phone is powered on).. booted into the rom, then put the scdard back in and removed the firmware update..then rebooted the phone, then wiped and loaded an ICS rom..that was really about all I did.. and so far all works well.. I'm really at a loss as to what the problem on your end is.. it sounds like you've done everything you're suppose to do..
You could try to run the relevant ruu (assume you have s-off?) and start again?

Update::II flashed Virtuous and had no issues and everything is running perfect. Looks just like my transformer prime now. I doing know why at this point that my system would not play nice with ARHD, I followed the guide to the letter and I flashed the firmware 3.30 several timed just as directed. None the less, I am satisfied with this from, and my device is much smoother and more productive than the ****ty GS2 by T-Mobile that I had been using the last few months! I just can't retire my Sensation. Thank you to all who chimed in, you're a great community!
Bricked
That happened to me too when I tried to install ICS without updating the firmware
first.
I just re-booted to recovery and did a restore. I'm assuming you backed up your
ROM right?
Then at least your phone will go back to normal and you can start over...and use it for work haha
I'm good now on virtuous, but I just couldn't get ARHD to work for me. Yes I had upgraded to the proper firmware first, and I always compare md5 sums. I'm by no means an expert, but I always research, read and ask all the nessecary questions before I flash anything I'm not familiar with. I think there may just be rare occasions when some of the devices just won't play nice with certain software. Virtuous took on the first flash & I'm actually very pleased with it, so all's well that ends well. ICS is just so much more intuitive & functional for me

Hi need a bit of help with this one if possible.
start the top..
went to flash leedroids rom..flashed boot image but forgot to pull rom over.
so had various issues getting over in the end had to mess around with recoverys and totally wipe my sd for it to be recognized.
so i solved all this then..now the issue is..of everything i push over..only one rom boots up and installs fine..and that is a cm9 test without sd mounting..so it solves nothing.
any ideas of how to get a rom on there where i can mount the sd..download a rom and put it on..
ill be honest..htc+internal sd card=not happy
ive pushed leedroids..virtuous..utbs rom but nothing.
i tried aokp but it didnt even push.
with these also some get corrupted by a protocol failure..
many questions. currently has cm9 on..but no mounting..so great
Did you already try a factory reset after flashing the stock recovery (e.g. from MoDaCo)?
-
Hi rootrider, yeah i followed a post i found..
basically i used the one click toolkit to flash the stock recovery..then cleared storage and all data etc.then installed clockwork back..it doesnt like the working roms though
cm9 is the only one i can boot up..at least it sees the sd card again in clockwork though
Had your problem as well... I don't remember exactly what I did to get out among many other things (sh..).
Had some trouble as well flashing stock recovery with the one click tool kit. It didn't work as expected. So I did it with adb. Just keep on trying, there is a way out.
-
My next course of action is, to flash the stock recovery, clear everything,reinstall clockwork then install aokp..if its something with the type of rom.maybe that will work..i can mount..get a rom on the sd and resume business as usual..
debatebale whether itll work lol
If this doesn't help get Thor's hammer and flash your appropriate RUU (again).
Easiest method would be to run an RUU and start over again. I see your vodafone UK so try this one
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/RU..._2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258386_signed.exe
It also includes the new radio too !
Just relock bootloader before running it, After its finished unlock and fastboot flash cwm..
easy peasy !!
--
thanks people, im running leedroids rom now, seemed my issue was is after pushing the file over i just tried to install immediatley..after a couple of reboots just for the hell of it,untouchables rom started installing...phew..
sadly all my sd contents have gone..very dissapointed with the sd card business!
still least its working again!
thankfully azzle didnt need to go back to ruu
Aye, captain. Glad to read this.

Hi,
Can you mod k2ul version kernel?
@xpirt
Would you be willing to make a tutorial on here as to how you did this, the requirements needed to accomplish it, and what to check for, as well as the changes which must be made for such a modification? I am asking this so many will learn and as well take the idea and possibly grow from it by coming up with even better ideas in the future. Without the knowledge or know how then this will only keep people in the dark and nobody wins from this. You don't have to make a tutorial, but if you were to do so it would be very much appreciated friend.

Experiment went awry!!!! Ended with a nice surprise!!!
So this is a an interesting story. I have tried many ways to finish flashing the OTA's after I have implemented the RUU. None seemed to work. I was missing a key step pull out the firmware.:silly: duh. Im still a very real noob here and learning on my own. And I was on github the other day browsing and searching and there was a put an uncompiled SE supported string for a kernel of our dear phone the PLC. So grabbed and immediatly started browsing reading and learning placing things here and their....I learn hands on, not from stories or guides. Well things quickly went wrong like many of you reading this are thinking and I wound up with a big paper weight hahahaha. No biggie I got 4 different nandroids that I have compiled and the RUU right I am good.
NO SO FAST nandroids wont flash something about error 23 or 24. RUU I ran 4 times deleted re downloaded and ran again nothing. Again I am still not in panic mode I have enough hardware on my computer to makeshift something to get the RUU to download. I dont know how this happened somehow in the midst of my scramble to get my phone back I had put in an old hboot radio and ics boot img. See my phone has never run ics before. So now I was staring at drivers failing cause their is no OS RUU isnt working nandroids wont work. My phone is down and my computer when I take it to work has no internet. I went through my archives and found the data for the binaries and the data for an ics rom but it was bare bones but heck I had no other choice. So I through the old firmware mixed with bits of the newer kernel.
I booted from recovery with adb to oem-78 which I believe is the updater portion of RUU. I ran the the firmware from their I first relocked bootloader before I did this. I did not take the first time/ flush the zip and run it again took like a charm. I then went back to fastboot flashed TWRP 2.6 instead of my normal 2.7 just cause I wanted to booted into recovery no problem. While in recovery I flashed the ICS stock rom like the firmware did not take. No worries ran it again and worked the second time. then wiped cache and dalvic flashed superSU 2.0.2 which was bought from play store and donated for zip thanks btw. and busybox X. booted into bootloader rebooted bootloader like a dozen times and flashed the ICS boot img. twice seems like the theme hear.
K bear with me I know I am long winded. Tried booting into the system after another dozen times rebooting bootloader. finally gave up went back to recovery reflashed ICS rom only once and then did busybox and SU another time for good measure. I did an avance wipe of dalvic and cache this time. booted straight to system and put the phone down came backe 20 min later it was working I played around it was glitch bad but working. I let it be for another 30 min. Came back rebooted a couple times and went to recovery to instantly backup as all mine where now worthless. When I got home I noticed it wouldnt receive wifi signal after playing around I downloaded the latest OTA for the 4.1.2 JB and the 4.5 sense update. Pulled the firmware flashed that after replacing the HBOOT with an old version and then found my other SD card and pulled a bunch of saved stuff off and found a stock JB 4.5 sense rom. flashed like above steps basically to the amount of reboots. lol. I finally got it to boot and within the hour I am running a smooth JB 4.1.2 sense 4+ OS thats what android tuner says my Hboot however says

My kernel says I am the 3.4 variation. On my phone and in all my apps. Except rom tool box it says I am 3.2
I wrote this hopefully a true dev can take what I did and come up with something amazing that can be used across the board of the ONE SV users.Thanks oh some how my toggle switches all turned orange in bootloader and all my highlited things in the rom turned green dont know how that happened either. :fingers-crossed:

So this is a an interesting story. I have tried many ways to finish flashing the OTA's after I have implemented the RUU. None seemed to work. I was missing a key step pull out the firmware.:silly: duh. Im still a very real noob here and learning on my own. And I was on github the other day browsing and searching and there was a put an uncompiled SE supported string for a kernel of our dear phone the PLC. So grabbed and immediatly started browsing reading and learning placing things here and their....I learn hands on, not from stories or guides. Well things quickly went wrong like many of you reading this are thinking and I wound up with a big paper weight hahahaha. No biggie I got 4 different nandroids that I have compiled and the RUU right I am good.
NO SO FAST nandroids wont flash something about error 23 or 24. RUU I ran 4 times deleted re downloaded and ran again nothing. Again I am still not in panic mode I have enough hardware on my computer to makeshift something to get the RUU to download. I dont know how this happened somehow in the midst of my scramble to get my phone back I had put in an old hboot radio and ics boot img. See my phone has never run ics before. So now I was staring at drivers failing cause their is no OS RUU isnt working nandroids wont work. My phone is down and my computer when I take it to work has no internet. I went through my archives and found the data for the binaries and the data for an ics rom but it was bare bones but heck I had no other choice. So I through the old firmware mixed with bits of the newer kernel.
I booted from recovery with adb to oem-78 which I believe is the updater portion of RUU. I ran the the firmware from their I first relocked bootloader before I did this. I did not take the first time/ flush the zip and run it again took like a charm. I then went back to fastboot flashed TWRP 2.6 instead of my normal 2.7 just cause I wanted to booted into recovery no problem. While in recovery I flashed the ICS stock rom like the firmware did not take. No worries ran it again and worked the second time. then wiped cache and dalvic flashed superSU 2.0.2 which was bought from play store and donated for zip thanks btw. and busybox X. booted into bootloader rebooted bootloader like a dozen times and flashed the ICS boot img. twice seems like the theme hear.
K bear with me I know I am long winded. Tried booting into the system after another dozen times rebooting bootloader. finally gave up went back to recovery reflashed ICS rom only once and then did busybox and SU another time for good measure. I did an avance wipe of dalvic and cache this time. booted straight to system and put the phone down came backe 20 min later it was working I played around it was glitch bad but working. I let it be for another 30 min. Came back rebooted a couple times and went to recovery to instantly backup as all mine where now worthless. When I got home I noticed it wouldnt receive wifi signal after playing around I downloaded the latest OTA for the 4.1.2 JB and the 4.5 sense update. Pulled the firmware flashed that after replacing the HBOOT with an old version and then found my other SD card and pulled a bunch of saved stuff off and found a stock JB 4.5 sense rom. flashed like above steps basically to the amount of reboots. lol. I finally got it to boot and within the hour I am running a smooth JB 4.1.2 sense 4+ OS thats what android tuner says my Hboot however says

so are you saying that you flashed this kernel?
what exactly do you want a dev to do? i think, by reading what you said, that what you did was, try to compile a kernel with bits and pieces, and when you flashed it, it didnt work? so you tried to restore a backup that you also 'compiled'(?), which failed as well. you then flashed an older hboot which allowed your update to take.... the downgrade to update has stumped lots, including me. its basically the process of manual updating. these phones are all different because the partitions are in different locations in the device. and certain varients have no sim card slot. the radios are running "different channels" etc...
sorry for continuing off topic..
Thanks for the kernel and all your work

Flashed ROM won't take even with S-Off

After a tragedy with my S3, I'm having to limp along with my old One SV. Unfortunately I am having trouble getting this thing to keep a newer ROM. And before anyone says "turn s-off" I have S-Off already.
Booting to the boot menu it says:
moonshine S-OFF
K2_CL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-SPCS_003
HBOOT-1.01.4444
RADIO-1.1250.0516
OpenDSP-v9.2.0268.1214
eMMC-boot

I've tried jellybean flashing
I tried the viper ROM (which gets stuck flashing unless I don't install all the google apps)
Post every flash, I turn the phone off and then power it back up. For a little while it'll say something "correctly" like that it's android 4.4.... buuuuut it is still the default wallpaper and goes back to saying android 4.0 and of course the bugging to update to a new stock android is still present as is the "out of storage space" error message....
I've tried updating the recovery (currently a somewhat buggy cwm where the screen is 1/8th offset half the time... v6.0.2.8) and that hasn't worked... Typing this out I decided to try flashing the recovery once more since when I first was doing it I apparently had S-ON... So I flashed the latest TWRP (3.0.1-0-k2_cl) and..... now it's bricked.... it won't boot normally nor will it boot into recovery mode, but I can get to the hboot menu.... HALP! lol
The final kicker to my scenario is that I'm on linux and don't have access to any Windows machines, but I do have heimdall and adb installed.
Okay... So because I was still able to get into the HBoot menu and then put it into the Fastboot menu with the USB cable connected I was able to flash a new recovery.
I got the TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/k2_cl
I was able to install fastboot and adb thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638673
I re-tried flashing the Jelly Bean rom I had with the same result as before the bad recovery problem occurred... It boots up, but it's still Android 4.1, even though it is S-OFF-ed.... And that shouldn't be happening... I'm pulling the battery and rebooting after flashing so nothing should be overwritten... What gives?
Your best way to go:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...V_NV_Boost_2.20_150_release_389346_signed.exe
As far as i remeber, there was no custom rom that was made for k2cl.
correct.. there is no custom rom for the boost variant.. there is a partition swapper changing the 4gb media with the 1gb internal storages.. romcleaner works to get rid of all the boost garbage.. twrp will fit your screen.. havent used cwm since my hero
The Viper rom claims it covers all variants. And somewhere along the way I downloaded two Boost based roms aside from that.
I tried to get the RUU to work, but couldn't. I borrowed a friend's Windows laptop, installed adb and fastboot and it just would not connect or see my phone in the RUU. I even tried forcing the driver to be installed correctly, which never worked for some reason.
I ended up installing Link2SD and setting up a 16gb partition for apps. So at least it's not complaining about being out of space anymore. It is still wanting me to download the OTA update. Not the end of the world.
I do have a new issue though. For some reason the "wiper" app keeps crashing. Not sure what it is or where to find it. I suspect it's named differently and I either need to flush it or install an uncorrupted copy. Any suggestions?

THE VIPERSV ROM IS NOT FOR BOOST MOBILE (K2_CL) USERS!!!!!!!!
This is what could happen to you if you fail to follow instructions!

This was a permission bug from updater script, when i remember.
Wiper is some wifi or network location service. If you don't need it, rename it or delete it.
