htc sensation only found in fastboot mode but not with adb in bootloader

hi, i had the problem that my htc sensation xe wasnt working because it was stuck at the htc bootscreen, so i had the idea to use my backup that was made until i rooted the phone. it was an backup made by the adb commands (.. adb pull / \AndroidBackup). so will it work if i would push this backup back on my phone? (.. adb push C:\AndroidBackup / ) and what do i have to do to get it working again because the fastboot commands are working unproblematic as the phone is in the fastboot menu but if it is in the hboot menu and i try to use adb commands it isnt working anyway. (".. fastboot devices" is working so the phone is recognized but ".. adb devices" doesnt show my phne) i have already tried to reinstall the adb driver but that hasnt changed anything. the device manager of my pc tells me the drivers etc. are working smoothly and i shows the phone as adb device so the driver is installed correctly... my phone is almost bircked, i know how i can solve it and now its a problem of my f******* computer. i hope you can help me to get my phone recognized by the adb commands. thanks
some information: hboot 1.18.0000; adb drivers version 2.0.10.2; hboot says:

same problem here!!!
i am not able to do anything.
it happened with me, when i was trying to use the cam of the phone, but wasn't working...
i restarted my phone and all of a sudden it started bootlooping all the time,
was able to unlock the bootloader.
but the phone kept restarting and wasn't able to do anything afterwards...

Reboot to bootloader.
Go to recovery.
ADB is functional and you can use the commands.
EDIT: Are you using/trying to use a custom ROM?
If so, which one?

Try flashing 4ext recovery.
The first guide that I linked you to should help. After flashing the recovery, format all partitions except SD card and then install the Rom.

I think I bricked my Sensation Xe

hi seniors
i am new to Android phones.
I have HTC Sensation Xe which was rooted and with unlocked boot loader, also have super user permission(what ever in technical terminology).
Hboot verion 1.29.0000 and it's S-On.
Recently I tried to install Elegancia Rom on it, after following instructions I flashed my phone.
After restarting my phone, It got stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have waited for it to boot for more then 15 min, but it never went ahead from that screen.
I have tried to wipe cache and dalvik etc. and re flashed again. But every time it stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have tried to restore backup( Nandroid) from recovery screen( which is 4ext recovery), but it not recognizing my backup.
Now I am not able to do anything on my phone, so please help me how to revive my phone??

Its not bricked. The problem is you are S-ON and so should have enabled SmartFlash in 4EXT or manually flash a boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is a guide somewhere in the general section about flashing ROMs with S-ON, read and follow the instructions

The type of stock ROM you can install depends on S-ON/S-OFF status, CID and Model ID. you have Sensation XE - Model ID of PG5831001 (I think) so you can only install RUU_Pyramid_LE_ stock RUU's
Then you have S-ON so you can only install the same or higher RUU version as what you are on (to check use fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and look for mainversion in the output) eg if mainversion = 3.33.401.106 then you can only install the 3.33.401.106 or higher RUU.
Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)

It was like, this update cannot be installed on your phone. My phone was not connected in bootloader mod when I tried, also I have installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 rom on my phone.
BUT AS OF now, I have installed your DarkForest rom and it's working fine. SO I would like to explore the same.
In future if I want to get back to stock rom, then I will get guidance from you.
Thnx man for prompt replies every time. I really appreciates it.

My friend bought this phone recently and it has been used and rooted. It had some version of SAGA 3D rom which he didn`t like and he tried to install one other rom (I don`t exactly know which). Once he installed rom he rebooted his phone and it was stuck on HTC logo for 20 min and then tried to install couple of other roms (Yes he did the full wipe of chache ,data and system ) which also didn`t work and than he gave it to me. I tried to return it back to stock by installing RUU (version RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed) . Recovery is REVOLUTIONARY.
I`d appreciate if you could help me .

If you want to boot a custom ROM you have to flash boot.img via fastboot (search the forum how)

also I have debugging mode turned off on phone so I can`t push misc_version file
Anyone know how to enable it without access to rom?
CID is HTC_405

expert please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want to use the RUU, you need to use the latest one that has 2.00.0002 Hboot or higher if your Hboot is 2.00.0002.. because if you can't push the misc_version you can't "fool" the RUU.. you could try using the ICS RUU.. (that 2.10.401.9 RUU if I remember correctly is the GB with Sense 3.x)

This RUU is only for Russia. Your cid is for Italy nonbranded so
2.10.401.8 should work. Do not forget to lock the bootliader.
If not working you can use adb in custom Recovery or flash the ICS RUU

+1..
Forgot to mention this.. you should lock the bootloader in fastboot mode (i believe fastboot mode doesn't require you to turn on adb)
just go to bootloader, connect the phone through USB cable, go to fastboot mode and type:
fastboot oem lock
then flash the ICS RUU..

Problem rooting bricked Sensation

Hey,
few days ago i got a random reboot on my phone and after that nothing worked ... i found out that my phone is bricked :S
but happily there is an unblock Project here on XDA and it worked for me.
My phone now run the stock 4.0.3 ICS version from HTC.
When i now try to root my Sensation i got the message from control bear that my device is already s-off, but all other apps&programms which need root doesn't work.
I already followed the S-on guide but it didn't help me.
Have some of u maybe an idea how i can get back my root access ?
thanks

put the recovery.img in your adb and fastboot folder and then do this command

[Q] Sensation Boot Help

Hi,
I have just dug up my Son's old HTC Sensation and thought I would try to get it going as I have in the past rooted a couple of Desires and a Legend. Upon boot the phone just sticks at the white screen with green HTC and won't load an OS.

Obviously a root job has been half done and it looks to me like I may need to downgrade the HBOOT so I have tried to find more info here but it all seems out of date (old phone) but my biggest problem is my PC won't pick up the device on the USB so I am stuck.
Any up to date help would be appreciated to unbrick it thanks

Thank you - Recovery at the moment is ClockworkMod v5.8.0.9 but that doesn't seem to do much. Following the link in your sig for 4ext and the forum thread I downloaded the recovery.zip and tried to flash through FASTBOOT but the installation aborts each time.

Hi again,
Sorry, I've been away for a few days. I found an RUU with a VERY close number and installed that and it worked a treat The thing is I now have a locked, Vodafone branded phone which I would love to unlock and install a custom ROM that will work with S-ON as I don't seem to be able to S-OFF the phone. Is that possible now please?
Thanks.

Click to collapse
if you still have the unlock code.bin use it to unlock the bootloader
otherwise go again to htcdev site and unlock it from there
then use this recovery

it is the latest 4ext verison
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
about S-OFF have you seen this method?

Over to HTC Dev it is then Thanks for that, I'll keep you up to date and maybe even try the S-OFF via that method after the recovery.img is flashed. Assuming I get that far !!
Thank you again.

OK - Phone unlocked again and 4ext downloaded............ How do I flash an img file? Keep asking for zip. I assume I am now flashing from the PC as recovery on the phone is now just a reset function.
Thanks.
