HTC Sensation can't boot into CWM recovery and can't be charged

Hi,
Since yesterday I can not use my Sensation.
It all started since my device freezes during launching the camera application after I installed the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.5.2 rom.
In order to solve the issue I have decided to boot into recovery mode and reboot system now - it helped me before.
Afterwards, my device froze in the same place once again while I was trying to start the camera aplication and I decided to do factory reset via Bootloader/HBOOT screen. During the procces, my device stopped responding and shutted down (I'm not sure why, maybe because mt battery was below 60% at the same point?)
Then I have tried to turn on the phone and I realized that it entered to boot loop.
In order to fix the problem - I have tried to boot into recovery mode but I could not becuase my device entered to a boot loop once again.
I have tried to install CWM recovery v5.0.0.8 and the installation was succseful.
After that, I have tried to boot into recovery mode once again and it failed - the device entered to a boot loop.
Now I can not use my phone and charge it at all - I just can boot into Bootloader/HBOOT screen.
Please Help Me!!

With my G2 I was able to get into recovery after a boot loop by using adb.
When the phone starts turning on keep typing: adb reboot recovery
I had to do it many times before it worked but I got it.

Once you fix your Recovery issue be sure to flash the newest version of Revolution HD 3.6.0, big difference!

Isn't the latest version of recovery 5.0.2.0? or some thing along those lines.

Sure is. And remember to do a "Super Wipe" before re-flashing.

adb can not find my device while I am writing adb reboot recovery..
"error: device not found"
My device still can not recovery and stuck in boot loop.
Help Me!!
Please.

Can you still able to boot into hboot? Remove the battery put it back press power button plus volume down at the sane time. Once you're in hboot you should see recovery. If that don't work download the ruu post by football in development section rename it to PG58IMG.zip place it in youre sdcard then reboot into Hboot and flash.

Which RUU did you choose and how did you go about to get to this state?
Did you download a RUU and rename it as you where tipped of?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk

dont think he use any RUU as he flashed to ndroid_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.5.2 rom?

I chose RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cd1d...857_signed.exe
I have tried to rename it to PG58IMG.zip and place it in my sdcard then reboot into Hboot and flash, but nothing happend.
Next I wrote super CID 11111111 and after that I ran the RUU .exe file and started the update while my phone in connected to the pc in fastboot mode..
After that, my phone still stuck in boot loop.

You're from Europe right? You don't need to connect anything just copy the Ruu to your sdcard and rename it PG58IMG and reboot into hboot it will auto recognized. If that don't work than I suggest you re root through evolutionary again. If all else fail send it back get a new one.

You have supercid? But you bought your phone from Europe right? Then you root your phone through revolution method? Try a different ruu, once you're in hboot then use volume key go down to fastboot and hit the power button u should see recovery. I don't know why u shouldn't see it.

I have super cid 11111111 and the device is from Europe.

My phone had firmware with vodafone australia.
my SD card is intact but i think internal SD card is corrupted or what ever where ever the firmware gets flashed to.
and i cannot seem to find the original vodafone HTC Sensation 2.3.3 firmware so i could restore it and then update it to 2.3.4.
and i tend to get an error from:
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcbllk1p2

What md5 checksum do you want to check ?? There are many utilities to check md5 checksum on computer. Run superwipe script , then install Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 , You have the correct firmware for it. I can see.

I have a same problem.
Didn't read the thread very well and I upgraded the wrong firmware.
Now, I just see the ''HTC'' logo and after that it's only rebooting over and over again. I downloaded the firmware I needed, thought I will just replace it with this ''broken'' one, but I'm getting errors all the time. And after that, again rebooting.
HTC Sensation, S-Off, first firmware was 2.3.4.
Error is: ''CID incorrect, update fail'' in HBOOT.
Only way I can stop rebooting after that message is to take out the battery.
Anyone got any other solutions except the first answer?
Thank you in advance, sorry about my bad english.
NOTE: I'm a noob at this, just wanted ICS on my phone. So, please, explain it in ''moron language''

Pull the card out and boot it into hboot mode. Then to recovery. Mount your sd card. Plug it into your computer. Delete the incorrect firmware. Find a superwipe zip. Flash Zip. Then flash correct firmware.

It looks like you have a valid version of the Firmware (HBOOT 1.27.1100). However you need to understand that that version ONLY supports ICS ROMs, so it won't support your old ROM even if you recover it. Also as usual you should SuperWipe when changing things this dramatically.
As you still seem to be able to get into Recovery try the following:
i) Download the Superwipe Script from the ARHD thread, in the Downloads bit in he first post.
ii) Download a full ICS ROM, take your pick (my preference is Virtuous Inquisition 3.5).
iii)Copy the files over to the SD-card from your PC.
iv) Delete the PG59IMG.zip from the SD-card. (ADDED IN EDIT1)
In recovery, run the Superwipe Script. Then Install the ICS ROM. The first re-boot will take a few mins.
To check MD5s just get a free MD5 checker for your PC and also get one for the phone, when it's backup up and running.

You haven't detailed what your HBOOT is at the moment, what does it say if you go into BootLoader ?
As it's mentioning CID, I assume you didn't SuperCID the phone, not an issue just get the right one for you CID from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After you update the Firmware you'll need to:
i) SuperWipe
ii) Install ICS ROM
iii) Remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD-Card.

In this thread ''[Firmware][Feb 22]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 & 3.30 Unlocked'' I downloaded ''HTC China & H3G'', version 3.30 by mistake.
HBOOT installed the PG58IMG.zip file and after that he's just rebooting.
I have T-Mobile Europe carrier but my HTC is unlocked.
Now, I don't really know what firmware to download or how to check for the right one. Also, I don't know how to SuperWipe or anything so I need someone just to write all the steps. From Wipe to ROM. I found nothing on this anywhere else and I searched all night. I'm new to Android (Have Sensation for about 2 months) so thank you for your help people! Really appreciate it.

Take out your sdcard from phone . connect the sdcard to your pc via some sdcard reader. Then delete the PG58IMG.zip from the scard. You will be fine.

Tried that, still stuck in the loop. I think half the firmware update has ran, then it has failed, so i need to roll back...

Download both the 3.30 and 3.12 FW. Open the 3.12 zip on your computer and replace just the Hboot file with the one from the 3.30 zip. Then flash the customized zip so you'll have the 3.30 fw with the 3.12 boatloader (1.23 not 1.27) and then flash a 3.30 Rom.
Some phones arent booting with the 1.27 bootloader that comes with the 3.24 and 3.30 fw.

I had the same problem when I first tried to flash a rom, you just have to find the right firmware for your CID, find yours here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767, and if you don't know your CID just superCID as shown in the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7, just manually boot into bootloader.

Are you s-off ? If you are S-OFF , then you need not have any file.
Just boot into bootloader.
Open a fastboot terminal in pc.
and type
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid
After this you will get a reply like this CID : 11111111
If you are not S-OFF, then first install adb and fastboot in your pc from here for windows or from here for linux and follow this guide.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.

Thank you so much for the reply.

Open cmd prompt as admin (RT click)
cd to folder with fastboot drivers (e.g. cd C:/sdk/tools)
Connect in bootloader via USB, type "fastboot devices" and you should get a response with your serial number.
Enter commands as above!

By fastboot terminal I mean :
Open command prompt in windows.
CD to the directory where adb and fastboot installed ( generally platform-tools folder in the sdk).( Boot your phone into bootloader mode. and connect to pc)
Now type :

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

You are in the wrong forum. Here are the sections for your device.

how do i get my pyramid back to normal?

i've been trying for about 7 hours now (no joke) to get my phone fixed
i'm pretty familiar with rooting/hacking/ROMS on my droidx and if anything went wrong i just plugged in the phone and SBF back to stock - simple. i assumed i could do that for the sensation but that is obviously not the case.
my first time with the sensation i got the bootloader unlocked/cwm installed/installed CM9 and got stuck on the CM9 loading screen. i think i never got the s-off to work, but didn't realize it.
last 7 hours have been spent trying all kinds of things to get it back to normal but nothing seems to work.
i am now stuck on the green htc logo at boot every time
i can currently access cwm 5.8.0.9 / fastboot
fastboot shows:
***unlocked***
pyramid pvt ship s-on rl
hboot - 1.27.0000

jan 13 2012,17:33:34
i know how to use adb/access the fastboot from a command line
i have htc sync and htc drivers
i have one x all in one kit
i've tried a couple of RUU but they didn't recognize my device
finally got an RUU (RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed) to work but i got an error telling me the device could not be recovered
i just want to get the phone back to stock so i can start over and try again!
any help/leads would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not 100% on this, so get another opinion, but since you have the bootloader still, try to attain S-Off using the wire method.
Edit: Scratch that, you need a stock rom that's rooted for it. If you can boot CWM, restore the nandroid backup that you hopefully made. If not, make sure you wiped data/cache before installing CM9. If you forgot to, wipe them and reinstall CM9. There's also a guide floating around about installing and booting custom roms with S-ON that could help you out.

Since you have the official ruu Rom. You will double click on the ruu and since HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility pops up, you'll go into c:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\Temp and you'll search rom.zip. You will put it on the sd card and rename it to PG58IMG.zip and you will start your phone into bootloader, and when it asks, proceed with the update and you should be fine.

You just need to flash the boot.img of the rom separately that will do the job

Not rooted?
Try fastboot flash any recovery image first.
And i think you can use other Ruu.
Btw, you can dump that Saga on me, if you live in KL. I'll help you.

I'm having hard time to setting up adb to start.I've downloaded a recovery image.
There's nothing on top of PVT.
After some reading i worry thaat i'll screw it up if i flash the recovery without S-off and unlock bootloader.
I read somewhere that i could download a file from htcdev kernel section and flash but how to flash?i downloaded it.which program i should use to flash the file?

Get a newer RUU and flash. Check the CID and download the correct RUU for your CID.
And stop worrying so much, otherwise you won't fix anything. Flashing with different radio won't do a thing, as well as flashing a different RUU as long as you have goldcard. But since you don't have, just look for the correct RUU.

It seems like its hboot 98, just do the revolutionary ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S CoolDroid v6.0 via XDA Premium

Also a good solution. Just need to move to FASTBOOT screen.

Bluehawk, just go on with www.revolutionary.io , it will root and s-off the device. No need guide link, just open the web, and it will show you the guide, step by step, newb friendly. But remember to choose the right option, imei and sn.
By then, after complete revolutionary, be happy and fastboot flash any recovery image.
Kinda lucky situation, already hboot 98, easy to handle i think. Unless the device soft/hard bricked already.

Hye guys,first of all im amazed to see so many replies/solutions given by u guys.
Alright,i've do tried to s-off using revo but i couldn't get my device detected by revo,sigh.Tried many times but it still BLINKING ON WAITING FOR DEVICE.Tried on another pc,same result.I've installed all the driver and updated my device in device manager.On my phone,If enter vol-|power on hboot/connect usb/my device manager detects as ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE and when i entered fastboot it detects as MY HTC.I don't know where i'm doing it wrong.Or its some chip fkd up?
Now,i've installed adb/fastboot on my windows7 and adb seems not working but fastboot going good.Here's some info i've got while typing some commands:
Fastboot device - HTC14ctxxxxxx (simply typed it xx,security purpose?idk lol)
CIDNUM - HTC_621
Emmc should be Sandisk
Version-main 1.31.950.2
If possible i really wanted to S-off it so that i could flash custom recovery etc,not much hassle as official i guess.So yeah,revolutionary not detecting my device.Maybe i guess because the phone had not set to debugging etc or so prior it went dead?
So should i download a RUU and flash?which one should i go for with above cid?can i flash with fastboot command?which command should i use to locate a RUU?
Sorry guys,i'm new with android and htc.hope u guys could pardon my noobies.

Revolutionary might be running in ADB mode by default, and that's the reason it's not detecting your phone - you can't boot to the state when ADB is functional, ADB daemon starts running when the kernel is booted already. Since Revolutionary is an executable, it's not possible to manipulate it into starting directly in fastboot.
In that case, I guess, you're left with flashing the RUU.

did you change to fastboot usb?
here's my step to revo, I pull the batt for 5 sec, put it in, and boot into hboot/bootloader . Top option is fastboot, i selected it and it will change to fastboot usb. then plug in usb . and it detect my HTC DS.
note : HTC Sync installed, and HTC Fastboot driver installed in order to get it work.
EDIT : Jack_R1 is right maybe. For your HTC DS, it's taiwan made, so search for oldest htc asia ruu.

[email protected] That makes sense.Thx.

My suggestion.
If you don't want to run into any problem try to make goldcard. It is easy. Use google search, and search for android gooldcard how to.
If you have a laptop, or cardreader it'll be a easy step.
Also before you run the RUU boot the device into fastboot. By volume down +poer button.
Don't worry.
I've messed my phone before and fix it without breaking it!
What you shouldn't do is pull out and rapid back in the battery while the phone stays at the white screen.
You can burn out the emmc chip that way.

[email protected] for the link buddy.I'll try it once i've prepared a goldcard,just incase.
[email protected] the midst of making a goldcard.Since i cant make goldcard on my phone,Tried readcid and goldcardhelper downloaded and plug my sd direct to laptop card reader but non working.I'll find someone who own an android phone and make golcard in their phone.
Appreciate you guys!Simply the best guiding forum!
UPDATE:
Got hold of a Samsung Galaxy SII,insert my 2gb unmount erase and did GoldCard Helper.I've got 2 CID as below:
mmc1:aaaa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mmc0:0001 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Which one should i use to create goldcard image?

Finally,the phone is up and running good!
I tried to make goldcard but not sure of the cid i should use to create image.
Went on to flash the RUU as per suggested by anaz and the phone came to life!I really appreciate everyone of you for the guide and advise.Thank you guys!
