[Q] HTC Sensation 4G stuck. Won't boot. Bricked?

Hello,
I am having some trouble with my T-mobile Sensation 4G. I was trying to install a Rom and seemed to have failed. At this point it will not boot past the first white screen with the green HTC logo.
I can get it into fastboot and Clorkwork mod recovery. However, I am not really sure what to do.
I have tried superwipe and it fails. Bootloader screen is as follows:
-Revolutionary
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 1.27.1100
RADIO- 11.22.3504.07_M
OPENADSP-V02.6.0.2226.00.0131
EMMC-BOOT
JAN 13 2012, 17:33:34
If I need to provide more information just let me know. Any help to get it back up and running would be great. I really appreciate your time and help.
Thank you in advance.

Most likely the rom will not boot on your current firmware. What rom is installed?
Option 1 is to restore a backup since you can access recovery.
Option 2 is to put the correct firmware on your SD using a PC, reinsert and let your phone update.

I don't think any rom is installed. It never got that far.
I first tried to update using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
However the update failed. After that the phone was just going into a reboot loop when I tried to start it up. I then tried to flash a new rom in the hopes it would fix whatever problem the first failure caused. I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was able to update the firmware from the linked page on that guide:
Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU
I then tried to flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 rom. It failed and when i tried to reboot it just hangs as described above. I tried to use superwipe and it also fails. I am sure at this point it is obvious I am lost.
Option 1 is not an option as I don't have a backup.
Option 2 may be an option, but I apparently don't know what the correct firmware is.....
Thanks again for the help.
I went back into fastboot and then recovery and tried to use superwipe, but that failed.
Option 1 is a no go because I do not have a backup.

Use this firmware instead.. it's worked well for me no matter which ICS rom I've installed..
Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1412618
Don't get it confused with the one you've already tried. Then after you flash that version of the firmware, remove it from sdcard and flash a rom. It's worked for me as it should for you as well.. Hope this helped.. I'm also assuming that you've Super CID your device....
if this helped, slap the thanks button... thanks

So still on stock rom, ie Gingerbread, since 2x flashes have failed?
If so, 3.12 is the correct firmware to get it to boot.

I was not able to boot normally after installing this firmware, but it did allow me to complete the superwipe. That was failing beforehand. Once I was able to wipe the phone I was then able to install a rom. The phone is back up and running now. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate you guys taking the time.

[Q] Bootloop Sensation XE

Hello!
My HTC Sensation XE have gone in a bootloop after i rooted it. I've tried several ROMs, and I can't figure how to make the loop stop.
I'm able to go in hboot, and 4EXT recovery.
My hboot looks like this;

Any idea how to make the loop stop?
I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!

Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

Did you try putting a new rom on your sd card? I mean using a micro sd to sd? Then plug it in your computer if it has it?

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?

Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

What custom recovery are you using?

4EXT

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

Hey, I have a big problem. Since I bought my HTC Sensation, I found troubles with it, because I always can see lag, phone shuts down without reason, screen problems and so on. So I decided to refresh my phone by rewriting it's ROM. I did everything what was written in the the tutorial, byt when I install a new ROM, phone is booting and restarting, booting and restarting and it doesn't turn on. Do you have any ideas?

Hi,
Look HERE
Read this guide carefully.
Follow it to the letter.
It will help you to :
1.install new 4EXT recovery.
2.upgrade your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33 and ,then,
3.install new rom of your choice.

Thanks guys. You helped me a lot. I installed a new Rom.

[Q] Firmware 3.33 but no roms boot properly after installation.

Hi Guys, I've been using KGS Utility with much success up until the last stage (trying to load a ROM).
I have S-Off and firmware 3.33 yet whatever ROM I try to install it never boots (had a few infinite reboots, and a few stuck on the tMobile l oading screen, not it's stuck on the HTC white screen
I'm currently trying this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035591&highlight=cyanogen and have followed the instructions to format and wipe using 4ext. The phone still reliably boots into the bootloader using voldown+poweron.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? The searches I've done have all suggested double checking firmware # and make sure you're following the mod instructions (wipes, etc).

what does the botloader say ?
UNLOCKED or JUOPUNUTBEAR ?

Hi, tried 3.32 tonight, installed successfully (says revolution now instead of the number, as you said earlier) then did a cache clear + davik clear. Same exact issue. ROM installs successfully but on reboot it makes an odd windows noise (normally the beepboop, but this is like beep*flutter*boop) and gets stuck on the white HTC boot screen indefinitely.
