Stuck in boot loop

Hello everybody,
I've a problem since yesterday, my HTC Sensation XE doesn't boot anymore.
I wanted to download the newest Insertcoin ROM (I'm S-OFF, rooted and wroten superCID). In the topic of the Insertcoin ROM indicated that I need firmware 3.24. So I downloaded that firmware, installed it on my phone (power+volume down) and then... broken phone. When I turned my phone on, it showed the green HTC logo and the beats logo and it started over again. I've tried very much (install very much other firmwares, restore to my last backup, factory reset) but nothing helps!
This is the topic of the insertcoin mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468683
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
Nicola

Try this:
1. Check MD5 sum of 3.24 firmware and if OK, re-flash.
2. Remove PG58IMG.zip from your SD card and boot into recovery (VOL- / POWER).
3. Run the superwipe script.
4. Check MD5 sum of your ROM and if OK, re-flash.
5. Don't install any other mods, just reboot and let the ROM startup - may take 5-10mins for the first boot.

I got it working!
I downloaded the leaked android 4.0.1 ruu. I installed it, then I used the backup!
Thank you for your help!

It looks like you didn't let the firmware update complete, you don't have the correct radio from the firmware.

try to use Kohr-Ah's Firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300)
Downgrade your FW by selecting correct CID/FW and re-flash it by 3.24 again by your own CID/FW

Cannot Install OTA Update

after I tried to restore my phone by using stock rom and I can turn S-on already.
but after I use OTA update . After downloading OTA it cannot install.
Variant System etc..... cannot remember.
It means that it is not complete restore my phone to original?
Can we solve this problem?

Do you have stock recovery?

Got it to work, needed the XE ruu, so i downloaded and ran "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.72.401.1_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_214840_signed.exe",
Everything worked fine, was back on GB and S-ON. Then I updated the OTA update to ICS, and installed it. Now it won't boot. Just the HTC splash screen, then rebooting again. Can't see the boot animation, just the white screen with green "hTC".
I have booted into bootloader and fastboot, tried boot into recovery, but that didn't work it just rebooted again (and I don't have a recovery installed). I tried "Factory reset" but it just rebooted again. It does not get passed the splash screen. Any help?

This is what it says in the HBOOT and FASTBOOT.
Any tips on what to do? It will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: saw another thread, maybe the firmware is too old? I thought it got updated with the RUU, but maybe it doesnt? To install a new firmware do i just adb push it to the sd card? As mentioned above I can't get into recovery and mount sd-card.

Ok, whats your CID?
The base rom you needed to install for OTA update was 1.73.401.4 not 1.73.401.1
Did you have s-off??

It's not the FW as it's updated in the OTA - do a factory reset and you should be fine (although you'll lose your data)

@SquithyX: My CID is 11111111, unless it got reset after running the ruu
I had S-OFF but set it to ON, needed to send it in for rep.
@EddyOS: I can't factory reset, when I press it in BOOTLOADER it just get stuck in a boot loop again. I don't have a custom recovery installed due to me beeing S-ON
Also, thanks for help

Are you sure you flashed 1.73.401.1 rom???
Your CID should be the same
If you did, it looks like you need to s-off (not easy now but can be done)
Install 1.73.401.4 GB ROM
Then apply OTA ICS update

thanks, will try to get s-off again? Do you have a guide to get s-off from bootloader/fastboot? I searched around for it but did not get any results

Its not very nice as it uses the HTCDev system by here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21922297#post21922297
You need to downgrade your firmware and install the 1.73.401.4 ROM, from there you will have a smooth upgrade to ICS.

Thanks very much, will give it a go in the morning.

[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.

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

We use ODIN only for samsung phones. We only install flashable .zip files on Sensation XE

Thx.

It because you've tried to flash a GB RUU with ICS firmware.
You need to go find the 1.17 firmware package from Mikes thread, install that then run the older RUU. This will return you to stock and remove your root. S-OFF should remain untouched.

I was happy t see your post but unfortunatly i have xp pc and that solution works only on win 7.
Any other way ??

If you place the 1.17 firmware on to the root of your SD then boot into boot loader the update will start automatically, power off, remove the 1.17.zip from the sd, then flash any of the GB roms.
Once you have a booting rom again, just plug the phone in via USB and run the chosen RUU. The RUU will replace everything bar your s-off. It will install the stock recovery, radio, rom etc.
Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed, if your unsure still there are numerous guides in the dev forum.

But still stuck with htc logo.Got this rom from mediafire coz all links are dead megaupload.
I am noob.

try flashing any of the custom GB roms first (android revolution for example) before you run the RUU.
You need a booting rom before you flash the RUU. Remember to flash the superwipe.zip before flashing android revolution.
Hope you get some joy.

Stuck in bootloop

So I was being stupid and didn't read all the instructions while I was trying to flash a PG58IMG for ICS and I think I installed the wrong version for me. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop but I CAN access the recovery and hboot. I don't know what to do now.

Do you have a ics Rom flashed to match the ics firmware? If you still have gb this will put you into bootloop . Flash the ics firmware which is 3.32 or 3.33 then flash the ics Rom. You must remove the pg58img file after you flash Also or it will continue to try to upgrade the file over and over . I hope this helps you.

I'll try flashing 3.33 or 3.32 then flashing the ROM, thanks.

Right now it's stuck at the boot "htc" logo, It's been like this for about 4 mins, is this normal on updating the firmware?
EDIT: It has been about 15 mins now and I recided to go into hboot and the message thing at the top was changed. Now it reads:

and at the end after the "sd checking", it says "Battery voltage is too low! Please change a battery..."
Not sure if has anything to do with my problem, but its worth putting out there.

No this is not normal. Charge your device, update firmware 3.32 or 3.33, now you WILL have a bootloopv if your on a gb Rom, so update to a ics Rom. This should solve the bootloop. When updating with a pg58img file you place it on the root of your sd card, pull battery put battery back in then press power and volume at the same time then press power to accept update it will automatically update .remove the pg58img file at this point or it will continue to try to update. I really hope this helps. Sometimes it takes up to 5 or so minutes for the first boot of a Rom but after that I would say it's too long if you're still waiting. Have you done all these steps? With the correct firmware?are you wiping before your flash? It should work smoothly with these steps? Once your charged go over steps again make sure your not missing a step. Hope this helps

keep in mind one thing... you must use matching firmware/rom.. i mean for example
- Firmware 3.33 Universal / (ICS)
- Firmware 1.17 Universal / (GB)
so if you're on ICS you must be on 3.33 fw, that should do the trick
