I had that same issue. Make sure you're super CID as well. Then the file should update properly and you can continue with the flashing.

Find your correct ruu, download ruu.exe to your pc, put your phone into fastboot mode, from h boot screen press power, you can then connect your phone to pc and run the ruu.exe as administrator. This will take you back to stock, s off, unrooted phone. Your phone will be restored and working. Then go read all of the stickies thoroughly so you understand what you are doing and what you need to do to successfully flash ROMS without the risk of bricking.

Sorry for being a noob, I don't quite get what you are saying.
Right now I'm pretty scared of bricking my phone, i've decided not to upgrade. Can I just insert the micro-sd card into my computer, then delete the firmware file and be done with it and have my phone back to normal????
Please help!!
Hi I'm learning about everything too. I can say I don't regret rooting and flashing custom Rom for a second! It can be intimidating at first, trust me I know but if you stick with it your reward will be great! Before you do anything read about it. What I did was even print out instructions so I didn't miss a step that helped me out a lot when flashing my first Rom. There's a lot to learn but everyone here is so helpful. Ask questions, read. Soon it becomes clearer and easier to understand. Its up to you if you wish not to proceed, but I just wanted to give you a pep talk and let you know you can do this! But never proceed unless you are comfortable with it. I wish you the best and good luck in what ever you decide to do.

The boot loop problem really scared the **** out of me. I guess i was being a little careless and didn't bother to check the CID of my phone, I thought I have Super CID already, but it is showing i have the incorrect CID.
I really want to experience ICS, even tho I am happy with my phone right now. I'm just so afraid of bricking my phone.
I guess I will do more homework on it before I do it.
Can someone answer my question in the previous post?
Thank you in advance
Hi everyone
My sister has a HTC Sensation Orange UK branded, running completely stock 1.50.61.1 software, without no modifications to the phone in any way, it is just as if it came out of the box. The other day the phone mysteriously stopped going past the boot logo... It turns on, white screen with green HTC logo, then within 10 seconds it turns off and back on again to the same logo, and continues until the battery dies. It does not get on the OS boot logo. The phone does however go into the bootloader and fastboot.
First step I took was download a 1.35.61.1 Orange UK branded RUU and tried to run that, knowing that it would probably fail as I was trying to go back to an older version, but I did not wanna do anything else first. The RUU for 1.50.61.1 is not available, and I have not been able to find it anywhere... When I run the RUU, I seem to get upto the point where it says "Sending Data..." and then it fails with an "UNKNOWN ERROR".
Next step , I unlocked the bootloader since the RUU is not available and if it is an issue with the OS/ROM, then I need to flash another. I unlocked the phone via HTCDev, and that worked fine. Phone is showing unlocked in the bootloader. Then, when I tried to flash a recovery, it looks as if works fine, but when I go to the recovery option in the bootloader, same issue... Won't load the recovery, and just keeps boot-looping. I tried CWM recovery via Hasoon's toolkit and manually through the fastboot command. It says sending, done OK, but continues to boot-loop.
Here is all the information I feel is necessary:
HTC Sensation

If its in Warranty period, Try replacing it.
Sounds like a H/W fault to me..
That was my suspicion too... I am not sure if it is under warranty, I guess I can find out.
Is there nothing I can try from here?

Hi,
I'm using sensation xe ICS (S-OFF, custom recovery 4ext)
I believe that my phone is having hardware issue that I'm thinking to send it back for repair.
It happened 1 day ago that my phone freezes 4 times in 1 days (It was completely fine since I flashed to ICS). My wifi starts unable to switch on with 'Turning Wi-Fi on' appears but nothing happens. I tried to do factory reset but doesn't help. I searched some threads that they say it might be hardware problem.
I am trying to follow the instruction from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 (I'm not sure if this method is fine for my phone) to S-ON my phone so that I can get my warranty back. But I am stuck trying to reflash a official rom that my pc cannot detect my phone.
Can anyone help me with this please? Or is there any other way I can get back warranty?
Thank you

hi mate i guess that problem is due to the rom,why dont you try to flash the rom to any stable one like ELEGANTIA or ARHD or any other stable rom and chk that this problem is still there or its gone.....
and now reverting your mobile back to S-ON is risky and once i tried it earlier and got my mob fully bricked.. but i managed to send back the bricked mob and get a replacement but i don't recommend it..
can you precisely tell me what error you are getting when flashing the stock rom

Yes, I'm not sure what I did is right.
I was trying to flash my phone using RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe through pc. But the installer says that unable to detect my phone and please make sure my phone is connected to pc using usb. But my phone already connected in charge only mode.
Something more to add.
I just remembered that I accepted an update few days ago (alert pop up in phone). and my ICS is now 3.33 not 3.32.
I am trying to flash my phone back to 3.32 to see if problem still exists. But I am not sure how I can flash through sd card, my hboot now is 1.27, I have seen somewhere says that 1.27 is different
you are SOFF so you can RUN any RUU
i guess you got error 155
the problem here is you need to connect the phone in bootloader/fastboot to pc ..before running RUU
this should resolve your problem
Hey, thank you for your help. I have flashed my phone everything's fine now.

I have a HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio that is currently locked into a boot loop cycle.
Before you all start telling me to look at this thread, or that thread, I KNOW that this problem has been on here before, and I have spent the last 2 days reading through what has been posted, with no success.
I am not a modder, I do not want to ROOT my phone, turn S-OFF, or unlock the bootloader. I have had this model of phone and been perfectly happy with it for over a year. Unfortunately my first handset had a touchscreen issue, so I sent it back to HTC (YES! I do realise what a huge mistake that was, NOW!! I don't need any more reminders) They sent me back another handset, but not without first beginning a very acrimonious relationship with me. The handset that they sent crashed, (I had only had it 2 days and hadn't done more with it than just put my contacts and music on it) it then entered a boot loop where it would load as far as the 'Quietly Brilliant', and sometimes the start of the 'Beats Audio' logo, then beep at me and try again. The first time this happened I pulled the battery, and left the device for about 30 mins and when I put it back together it worked. 2 days later it did the same thing and has never recovered.
I can get into the bootloader, and it displays:

I have spent the last 2 days scouring this forum and trying to get my phone to work again.
I don't want to modify my phone, but will if that's what it takes. The problems I have found it that most methods require me to 'Enable USB Debugging' or install CWM Recovery on my phone, which I can't do, or to unlock my HBOOT using HTCDev, which given that you need to register with HTC to use DEV and my current opinion of that company, is not happening, also from what I have read about the procedure I can't do it anyway, because I can't get into my phone.
The other problem I have encountered is in trying to enter recovery mode from bootloader, which gives me the green loading icon, then a red triangle, and nothing else.
I will admit to my absolute noobdom when it comes to this, and if I'm perfectly honest I would be happier if I had remained ignorant. I just want somebody to show me how I can get my phone to work again.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have an unmodded phone,just send it back again.
They have just sent you a dud replacement.
Do not accept it.

HTC sensation XE in bootloop
hi i have a rooted sensation xe, and when i installed the PAC-MAN rom it wouldnt boot up.
It just kept showing me the white screen with HTC in green letters, then go black and do it again over and over.
Ive changed the rom many times on this phone and had no problems until now and i cant seem to get out of it.
Ive come from the ViperS rom with sense 5 and when i try going back to that rom it still gives me the bootloop. even the backup that i made doesnt work.

Hello,
i flashed cm 10 on my Sensation and after a hour it was still loading so i removed the battery and restarted the phone.
Then it resumed loading for an minute or two and just went black (powerd off).
Now nothing works anymore, no fastboot or recovery, no led light on charger connected.
Computer detects device when i connect it but adb cannot do nothing, it connot find device.
How can i solve this now?

What does the computer detect? fastboot not working either? are you S-Off? try connecting it to charger with battery outside and see what happens.
No bootloader on VolDown+Power press, no indicator LED light when connected on charge with or without battery.
Phone was S-Off before this hepened. PC detects phone on USB connection and Device Manager says "qhsusb_dload" for device.
ADB/fastboot does not detect phone on connection.

What matters is your CID. unless you have SuperCID you need the exact RUU for your device. go to bootloader and via fastboot type fastboot getvar cid. This will give you your CID.
Here is a list of Sensation RUUs:
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=Pyramid
I suggest using an ICS RUU, as it will allow you to avoid messing with firmware (will flash it by itself).
Good luck.
Started to work with restats maybe you can get in your fast boot by now?

if you are still on S-OFF you can use any ruu.exe which means a GB one too
but you must have supercid
by the way can you boot now to the bootloader?
Yes, it is S-Off still but now after recovery, unrooted.
I can go into bootloader via VolDWN+PWR.

ok then check your cid
if you aren't supercid you can change it with this command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
then you can use any ruu.exe including GB one

it is better to use the GB ruu.exe just to be sure
My CID was HTC__036 so is that got something to do with bugs i had or is it just preventing you
to flash RUU packs? I do not really understand how it works tottaly. Is it better if i cange it to 1111111 and can it be restored back to stock after?
I got problems with WiFi, BT and FM, thay not working so one of the options are to fully restore the phone by removeing custom recovery, S-OFF, and everything and get it back on factory GB OS so it can be sent on repair.

if you change your cid to supercid(11111111) then you can use any ruu.exe you want
with cid:HTC__036 you can use a specific ruu.exe
and no cid has not to do with bugs
after supercid you can revert it back to the original one if you want
after ruu installation it will remove custom recovery but the S-OFF will remain
Ok, i seen someware how to restore S so only thing now is to find that GB RUU. Can someone point me to the file on that RUU list and
what about radio and suff. Does it need to be same radio version as mine now or?

look at my previous post number 12
there you will find gb ruu
also there you will see how to restore S-ON but be careful with that
follow the steps carefully on how to S-ON
ruu will take care too of radio and anything else.so no worries about it
